Chapter 232 The use of violet fruit
"Sister Jiang, do you know what this thing is?"
Seeing how delicious Lu Xiao's snack was, Li Heng also took a bite and asked Jiang Mei about it.
As Lu Xiaoxiao said, it is indeed very sweet, so sweet that it makes you sick.
"This thing is called Purple Fruit, and it is grown by our Lingzhi Sect."
Jiang Mei only glanced at it and recognized what Lu Xiaoxiao had brought back.
"Purple fruit?"
This was the first time Li Heng heard this name. He then asked: "Is it possible that this violet fruit is also a medicinal material for alchemy?"
The Lingzhi Sect cultivates spiritual plants such as spiritual grass and spiritual fruits in order to sell them to alchemists to earn spiritual stones, so Li Heng's guess is understandable.
"Little brother, you only guessed half of it right. This violet fruit can only be regarded as an auxiliary ingredient in alchemy, and it is dispensable.
Its only use is to enhance the taste of the elixir. "
Jiang Mei explained that the reason why it is said to be dispensable is because the violet fruit has no other effect except improving the sweetness of the elixir.
"Does the elixir have different flavors?"
Li Heng asked curiously. It had been a while since he came to Xuanwu Continent, but he had never taken a pill.
"of course."
Jiang Mei looked at Li Heng like a fool. Isn't this common sense that all monks should know?
Naturally, she would not know that Li Heng's soul did not belong to the Xuanwu Continent at all. Li Heng would find some things that were very common to them strange.
For example, with the elixirs we were talking about now, he thought that all elixirs had the same taste.
Or it may have no taste at all, and it is the kind that is immediately refined as soon as you take it into your mouth.
Besides, as an alchemist, shouldn't the most important thing you should pay attention to is the efficacy of the elixir? If you care too much about its taste, it seems to be putting the cart before the horse.
Li Heng's understanding was definitely wrong, because when the alchemist added violet fruit to the elixir, it was not because he thought the elixir was not delicious.
But the medicinal materials used in some elixirs are very special. For example, the black sour fruit that Li Heng once used for cooking is actually a medicinal material for alchemy.
The characteristic of the black sour fruit is that it is sour, very sour. So far, except for Elder Leng Zhong, Li Heng has never seen anyone else eat the black sour fruit as a fruit.
Therefore, the elixir made from the black sour fruit is also very sour, so sour that it is difficult to swallow.
Whenever this happens, the alchemists will add an appropriate amount of violet fruit to the elixir, using the sweetness of the violet fruit to neutralize the acidity of the elixir.
In addition to acid, most of the medicinal materials used to make elixirs are bitter, and the taste of the elixirs made from these medicinal materials can be imagined.
If it is just ordinary suffering, the monks will have to endure it in order to practice. However, some suffering is beyond the limit of their endurance. At this time, the violet fruit is particularly important.
After Jiang Mei explained again, Li Heng understood the importance of the violet fruit.
"I see!"
Li Heng suddenly remembered that when he joined the Tiandao Sect, Song Qingfeng had promised to get him a pill that would allow him to embark on the journey of cultivating immortals.
Later, because he was selected by Tiandao, he became the first chef cultivator on Xuanwu Continent.
After starting his own path of spiritual practice, this matter was settled.
"Judging from your reaction, it seems that you have never taken the pill. You have been a member of Tiandao Sect for so long, is Xiao Fengfeng still so stingy to you?
I'm reluctant to give you even a single pill, so why not go back to Lingzhi Sect with my sister? "
Jiang Mei glanced at Li Heng pitifully, pretending to be surprised, but just talking turned into poaching.
"Sister Jiang, can you stop looking at me like this?"
Li Heng felt uncomfortable when Jiang Mei looked at him strangely. He didn't need pills to help him practice, and it wasn't like he couldn't afford them.
Besides, considering the relationship between Li Heng and Taoist Huoxuan, it shouldn’t be a big deal to ask him for dozens of kilograms of elixirs to try!
"Aunt Jiang, is it inappropriate for you to dig into our sect in front of me, a holy girl from the Tiandao Sect?"
When Su Lingxuan heard this, she immediately pulled Li Heng behind her and said to Jiang Mei with black lines on her head. This was not the first time.
"Keke~ Xiao Lingxuan, can you have some confidence in yourself? I don't believe that little brother Li Heng will leave you and follow us."
Jiang Mei was obviously teasing Su Lingxuan, but what she said was indeed correct.
Li Heng's relationship with Su Lingxuan is continuing to heat up, and he is reluctant to leave Senior Sister Lingxuan and go elsewhere.
"Aunt Jiang~ You're making fun of me again."
Su Lingxuan blushed. Thinking of her 'protecting the calf' look just now, she felt a little restless and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
"Fortunately, I have such a generous sister here, little brother! I'll give you this bottle of Spirit Gathering Pill."
Jiang Mei stopped teasing Su Lingxuan when she saw that. She turned around and threw a small porcelain bottle to Li Heng and said.
She knew that the elixir had little effect on Li Heng, so she gave him a bottle of low-level elixir just to satisfy his curiosity.
"Thank you, Sister Jiang."
Li Heng was overjoyed. After thanking Jiang Mei, he poured out a spirit-gathering pill and held it in his hand for observation.
"So that's what the elixir looks like!"
On the contrary, the appearance of the elixir described in the novels Li Heng had read in his previous life was almost the same.
It was crystal clear and full, with a smooth white surface without any impurities. It looked just like the jelly beans he had eaten.
The only difference is that when you hold this Spirit Gathering Pill in your hand, you can smell a faint medicinal fragrance.
There was a hint of sweetness in his mouth. After taking the Spirit-Gathering Pill, Li Heng could feel it gradually being decomposed into a stream of spiritual energy and a small amount of medicinal residue in his stomach.
However, this spiritual energy was not absorbed by his body, and the taste was very ordinary. Li Heng soon lost interest in the elixir.
"Brother Li Heng, give me one to try too."
Lu Xiaoxiao rarely takes pills. There are almost no alchemists in the monster clan. They usually directly swallow and refine various heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
"Xiao Chi wants it too, Xiao Chi wants it too!"
Xiao Chi just came here to join in the fun. When she followed Song Qingfeng in the past, she was given many pills.
It is no exaggeration to say that before meeting Li Heng, she had always eaten elixirs as jelly beans.
But after eating the delicacies cooked by Li Heng, Xiao Chi's appetite was whetted, and he was able to turn a blind eye to Song Qingfeng's elixirs.
"This thing is not as delicious as the peanuts I fried."
Li Heng said he was disgusted, but still poured two pills for each of the two little ones, and the rest was put into the Najie, and he regarded it as a kind of collection.
"Purple fruit is such a good thing, but you only use it as an auxiliary material for alchemy. It is simply a waste of natural resources!"
Li Heng couldn't help but sigh, because he suddenly thought of another use of violet fruit-sugar refining.
"You...you're right!"
Jiang Mei couldn't refute Li Heng for a moment. If these words hadn't come from Li Heng's mouth, she would have had to step forward to break up with him.
