Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 228 Alchemy
three days later.

In a remote courtyard that no one has ever used in the Chen Mansion, at this time a pill furnace that is half the height of a person is exuding astonishing heat, and the charcoal fire at the bottom of the pill furnace is burning blazingly. Someone is dedicated to the job of fanning.

If alchemy is done indoors, the wooden structures in the room may not be able to withstand such a high temperature, and it might catch fire, so Chen Zheng had no choice but to put the work of alchemy in the outdoor courtyard. The work of alchemy is not a rare elixir, and there are not such harsh refining conditions.

Although the courtyard was still sweltering with heat, the three people beside the alchemy furnace did not sweat profusely. Instead, they looked serious and serious, with the flames of the alchemy furnace shining in their eyes.

It was Chen Zheng, Tao Hua, and Yan Luo.

This matter of alchemy was not Chen Zheng's temporary demon, but the first task issued by the system after he left the system space.

【Refining Elixir】

[As a person who carries a gold finger all over his body, how could he not know how to make elixir?Alchemy originated in the Qin Dynasty. It is ancient and mysterious. There are many alchemists in the world, but there are very few people who are proficient in alchemy.Ordinary elixirs can help people get rid of diseases and restore health, and miraculous elixirs often have their unique magical effects.In order to seek immortality, the ancient emperors also searched for alchemists, but the results were very few, and they harmed others and themselves.Alchemy is not something that can be accomplished overnight, it requires not only a solid foundation, but also hard work and hard work.Task requirements: The host successfully refined a batch of Shiquan Dabu pills.Task reward: alchemy, 10 silver ingots.Task time limit: seven days.Failure penalty: permanently shut down the alchemy system. 】

So there is no way. If Chen Zheng doesn't do the task, he probably won't have the golden finger of alchemy in the future and has to complete it. Fortunately, the system also kindly provided some necessary equipment, which is the alchemy furnace and medicinal materials for this time.In the words of the system, this is the host's first task after all, or should it be simpler and provide some appropriate help, which is considered a novice benefit?But after that, it is estimated that there will be no such treatment.

Moreover, the name Shiquan Dabu Pill looks very bluffing. It is a white-grade common elixir. The only function is to make up for the deficiency of the body after long-term use. It is similar to health care products?The material is also very simple. The main material is licorice, and it can be made with some medicinal materials such as white peony root and angelica, which can nourish the kidney. . .Keke has the effect of strengthening the body.

Although the alchemy furnace in front of me looks ugly, it is completely khaki, and it looks a bit buried.But anyway, it is also produced by the system, and it still has its own advantages.

【Level [-] Pill Furnace】

[Characteristics: Level 10 alchemy: Increase the success rate of primary elixir by [-]%]

Chen Zheng reckoned that this novice elixir would not be a problem even if he was handicapped, plus the effect of the elixir furnace, not to mention that he still had two helpers, Peach Blossom and Yanluo.Cough cough, because Chen Zheng had a guilty conscience, he originally asked Taohua and Jinse to help, but Yanluo left the customs early, and the two hadn't seen each other for a while, so he let Yanluo take Jinse's place, and it was also Because Jinse has practiced the Xuanbing Sword Code, she is not afraid of the cold and heat, and there is always a faint chill all over her body, like a mobile air conditioner, which greatly reduces the heat of the three of them. During the whole process of alchemy, they did not feel a trace of heat. On the contrary, I feel quite cool. It's cool to make alchemy for a while, and it's always cool to make alchemy all the time.

Taohua just sat there quietly observing the fire of the alchemy furnace and fanned the wind. Chen Zheng almost forgot that Taohua's master is a Taoist priest and must have practiced alchemy in Taohuawu for so many years. Naturally, he would need little Taohua's help, if it wasn't for Taohua When he said it himself, Chen Zheng almost forgot.

And Yan Luo just sat cross-legged on one side, didn't make any movements, just quietly watched Chen Zheng pour the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace one by one in a certain order, and kept following the alchemy techniques taught to Chen Zheng by the system Do some simple refining.

There was a hint of surprise in the eyebrows, "I didn't expect Chen Zheng to change so much now. He had already changed his ways and started practicing martial arts when he was in Beiping. In just over a year, he became a martial artist with a high level of energy. Now He actually knows how to make alchemy. It seems like this is not just for fun."

The art of alchemy is not simply throwing in the elixir and waiting for the elixir to take shape. It also requires the assistance of the alchemist. Under the joint action of firepower and true energy, the essence of the medicinal materials will be condensed into a elixir. , if there is no systematic teaching, it will definitely be waste.The scarcity of alchemists is not only due to aptitude issues, but also because pills are widely used in low-level warriors. Alchemists have reached the realm of martial saints like Zao Wou-ki, and the human body itself is already extraordinary. The elixir has no effect, and there are very few panaceas that can be useful to people in the realm of martial saints. In addition, the treasures of heaven and earth are rare. In recent years, high-level elixir has become more and more cherished. High-level alchemists They are more valued by people, but low-level ones are like wild flowers on the roadside, and no one cares about them. The huge gap makes alchemists feel that there are no successors at present, and they faintly mean that they have become sidelines.

Perhaps because he noticed Yan Luo's eyes, Chen Zheng explained to Yan Luo while adding medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace.

"The key point of alchemy, first of all, lies in the herb. The quality of the herb affects the alchemy rate to a certain extent. The second is the control of the temperature of the alchemy furnace. I believe that Peach Blossom is much better than me in this aspect. Finally It is the method of alchemy, which requires the participation of true energy, and it would be whimsical to achieve alchemy without sufficient true energy."

Yan Luo just listened quietly, nodding in agreement from time to time, with a slight smile in his eyes, looking at the busy figure.

An hour later, with the opening of the pill furnace, the whole small courtyard was glowing red and steaming.

Chen Zheng firmly followed the requirements of the system. When the elixir was formed, it must be sealed with wax pills immediately to prevent the loss of medicinal properties, and then kept in a jade bottle to preserve the elixir to the greatest extent.

At this time, the alchemy furnace had been opened wide, and more than a hundred small light green balls emerged from it, with a distinct herbal fragrance.

The three of Chen Zheng hurriedly started to seal the formed pills with oil wax, and then poured them into a jade bottle. After some checking, they found that there were a total of [-] Shiquan Dabu pills, and the pills that Chen Zheng threw in were , according to the estimation of the system, it should be able to produce elixirs ranging from [-] to [-]. It seems that my success rate of elixirs is a bit low, but in any case, it can be regarded as successfully training the first batch of elixirs belonging to me , System task, little kiss.

Chen Zheng also purposely kept one unsealed, and instead threw it into his mouth to taste whether the elixir he made by himself tasted like the food he made himself.

However, it is not as delicious as imagined and has no powerful effect. It tastes like small balls made of ordinary dough and has a faint bitter taste of herbs.Swallowing it into the mouth, I could feel a faint heat flowing into my abdomen. It seems that it should have some effect. Chen Zheng said with a smile to Taohua and Yanluo: "Hey, it's okay, this time it was quite successful, this Shiquanda The quality of Buwan is not bad, it should be considered average, but this elixir is not very useful to us, so I won’t send you two, but it will take hard work for you two to accompany me to make alchemy, let’s walk around and eat.”

"Hehe, young master, I don't work hard. I just fan the wind and look at the fire. Where is Yanluo so hard, with a pair of eyes staring at you? It's almost becoming a husband's stone." Taohua couldn't help teasing.

A rare blush appeared on Yan Luo's face, "Oh, Taohua, what are you talking about? Who is Wangfushi, please stop and don't run away! Stop!"

"Oh, Yanluo, I was wrong, don't scratch me, ahahaha, oh, I was wrong..." Then the two ran away happily.

As for Chen Zheng, an idiot, who still remained in place with a puzzled expression on his face, did Yan Luo look at himself before?

At this time, the system prompt sound also appeared.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the task [refining pills]. Get the task reward: alchemy, 10 ingots." Next, Chen Zheng found several skill columns on his attribute panel, which clearly marked the first level of alchemy. The only prescription currently available is the Shiquan Dabu Wan provided by the system.

For the subsequent improvement of the level of alchemy, the system will evaluate the alchemy output of Chen Zheng's ears and the quality of the elixir, and give experience points. Other alchemy will only be unlocked after the alchemy is upgraded later, so it may be possible in the future. For a long time, Chen Zheng had to deal with Shiquan Dabu Wan, and he wondered if he would vomit after practicing alchemy.

After dinner, he quietly returned to his study, ready to enter the system space. During the test a few days ago, Chen Zheng knew that if someone came to find him outside, the system would remind him immediately, so there is no need to worry about that This tragic situation occurs in which the consciousness of a person is in the system space and the body is obliterated by humans.

The first time Chen Zheng entered the system space was to go to the field to see if there was anything unusual about the wheat.

This is also the point that Chen Zheng wants to complain about most now. The system's simulation of this aspect is really too much.Chen Zheng originally thought that as long as the seeds were planted, it would be over when the time came to harvest, but he was cheated the first time he planted.

There are too many things to say about this wheat, and all kinds of pests and diseases will occur. At that time, Chen Zheng must come in to deal with it, otherwise the growth of the wheat will stagnate, and once it encounters pests, it will be eaten slowly. No income.

So Chen Zheng is like an old player who grows vegetables in QQ space these days. Whenever he has time, he has to come in to see if there is no problem with the wheat. Water, if the leaves are a little wilted, it is necessary to fertilize.And this fertilizer actually costs money, 10 copper coins for one use, and weeding if there are weeds.

But when he thought about the effect of wheat, Chen Zheng endured it, and he recognized this black-hearted oppression.

What is the reason for this?

It is the wheat in these system spaces that can be sent into the kitchen in the inn through the conveyor belt of the system's black technology, and then made into big white and fat steamed buns and sent out.The important point is that these are not simple steamed buns, after eating, they can purify the true energy of the warrior, although there is only a trace of it.

The appearance of this effect immediately made Chen Zheng shut up, and stopped complaining about the system.

You must know that the true qi of a warrior is sometimes affected by swallowed elixirs or other external forces, such as the erosion of evil methods, which will cause the texture of the true qi to become complicated and reduce its power. In severe cases, it will also affect the future development of martial arts. foundation.

Conversely, if the quality of a warrior's true energy is purer, then he will exert more power at the same level. In addition, Chen Zheng is currently surpassing the amount of true energy of a warrior of the same level. At that time, the warriors who attacked in the general luck state were probably not Chen Zheng's opponents. Not only that, Chen Zheng also gave these steamed buns to the knights he summoned, and indeed, as Chen Zheng thought, these buns were also good for them. It works. Everyone can clearly feel that their internal energy is being purified a little bit. Although the current amount is very small, the accumulation will add up. Once it is consumed for a long time, there will be results.

The farming career of the past few days has also added a new skill to Chen Zheng.

[Farming: level one, crops that can be planted: wheat. 】

At present, the progress bar of this skill has passed more than half, and Chen Zheng estimates that it will be upgraded in a few days.Unexpectedly, even coming to the Yuanwu Continent, he would not be able to escape the fate of liver skill proficiency.

After handling the fields, Chen Zheng went back to the inn. When he opened the door, he saw a tall and slim woman wearing a light red cheongsam with her high forks reaching her thighs. , but Chen Zheng didn't dare to look at it, the person in front of him was someone who couldn't be offended.

It is the ever-changing girl who is currently the leader of the Heluo Gang.After the Jianghu Inn came out, these summoned knights can also come to the system space to move freely anytime and anywhere, and they have the same treatment as Chen Zheng, but at present they cannot use functional buildings such as fields and wells.

"Hey, little Chen Zheng is back, why not take a look at my sister?" After speaking, the ever-changing girl licked her lips quite seductively, making those plump lips even more charming.

"Um, sister Jiaoniang, my younger brother has to go to practice, so let's take a step first. That's right, sister Jiaoniang can make up her own mind about the Heluo Gang. You don't need to tell me at all. I still have to do things for sister Jiaoniang." Don't worry, by the way, sister Jiaoniang, pay attention to going to bed early, staying up late will hurt your health." Chen Zheng's voice was also getting farther and farther away, with a feeling of running away.

"Hehe, the little guy is really interesting." Looking at the back of Chen Zheng leaving, the Ever-changing Jiao Niang finally muttered to herself, and turned back to her room.
