The Path to Becoming Immortal

The next day, everyone gathered together early. After a night of hard work, I finished reading the entire book and kept it firmly in mind. In fact, the content is not much, just the formulas and production methods of some medicines.

When Ning Ping arrived, he discovered that Hua Wenyao had also appeared today. After seeing Ning Ping, he inexplicably smiled and nodded at Ning Ping.

"Ning Ping, did you write down the formula of the medicine yesterday? Remember that this is the foundation of Chunhui Valley, and you must not reveal even half of it to anyone. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I promise to keep everything secret." Ning Ping was much more pleased with Hua Wenyao now.

"I will be busy in the next few days. Then you will learn to refine medicine with Gao Shi. I believe in you."

Some tasks for other people were also arranged, but Shang Feibai's assignment was omitted. At the end, just when Ning Ping was curious, his affairs were also assigned, but it was something else.

"Shang Feibai, please go to Uncle An's place with me now, don't delay."

When Ning Ping saw this, it turned out that he was going to Uncle An's place to help. Many people had gone there to help before, and he didn't think there was anything unusual.

When we arrived at the workshop, since we had been working with Gao Shi in the past few days, the two of them were relatively familiar with each other. We also knew that he didn't like to talk much, but he was also very good at what he did. He could be said to be the best here. one of several people.

"Today we are making Yiqi Powder in Ningping. I won't go into details about the required medicinal materials and quantities. I will just talk about some of the key points." Gao Fei was as concise and clear as ever.

Ning Ping did not expect that the first day of learning how to make medicine would be the much-anticipated Yiqi Powder. Then the formulas for Yiqi Powder emerged in his mind: Qianlingcao, Baicaolu, Polygonatum sibiricum, Huoluogen... and more than ten kinds. Medicinal Materials, knowing that he wanted to continue his insights, did not interrupt and continued to listen carefully.

"All the medicinal materials have been processed, and in order to avoid the loss of medicinal properties and the activity of the ingredients inside, the active root is the key. After all other medicinal powders are mixed, they are heated to further activate the medicinal properties, and finally wait for the temperature to drop a little Only then can you add the active root, so that the prepared Yiqi Powder can be better and fully absorbed. Next, you should carefully watch and sense each step. "

Gao Fei didn't care whether Ning Ping understood or not, he directly started to weigh the medicine. After everything was done, he started making it in a small pot.

“Senior brother, why don’t you just use a bigger pot to make it? Wouldn’t it make more food each time?”

When Gao Fei heard this, he smiled slightly. It seemed that he had faced this question before: "If the weight is too much, it will be uneven if heated, or if it is burned accidentally, the potency of the medicine will be greatly reduced. If it is too small, it will be difficult to control various medicines." The weight is just right, so it’s not too much or too little.”

Ning Ping understood instantly when he heard it. For example, Baicao Dew plays a role in neutralizing the medicinal properties. The dosage is very small, but it is indispensable. If too little is made at one time, the corresponding amount of addition will be reduced. If it is not used, it will be difficult to balance it with other drugs.

I originally thought that making Yiqi Powder would be faster, but who knew that the time would pass slowly while one portion was being stir-fried over low heat. When the color of the medicinal powder slowly changes from green to white, the refining is complete. After adding the active root and mixing everything evenly, it turns out that it will take a whole morning, which means that it can only be made two times a day.

When Gao Fei finally added the active root and started the final round of stirring, Gao Fei inexplicably took the initiative to talk to Ning Ping.

"Do you know where Shang Feibai went?"

When Ning Ping heard this, he thought, "Isn't this nonsense?" So he replied: "Didn't he go to Uncle An's place to help?"

Gao Fei glanced at Ning Ping with a half-smile but said silently, "Uncle An is going to Guangming City today!"

"Ah~" Ning Ping was stunned when he heard this. He stared at Gao Fei blankly, forgetting what he was doing.

"If I remember correctly, you mentioned that you wanted to go out several times. Although I don't know why you wanted to go out, I feel like you really want to go out."

When Ning Ping heard this, he came back to his senses and could only smile silently. He had indeed inquired about going out with his senior brothers many times, and last time Hua Wenyao promised that he would have the opportunity to take him out to play, but...

Then he remembered that Shang Feibai took the initiative to talk to him yesterday, and also took the initiative to recommend to his senior brother that he should start trying to refine medicine. To be honest, compared to being able to leave here, these are nothing, and suddenly there was something bad in his heart. guess.

"Hey~ Senior brother, you know that Uncle An is going out today, why didn't you tell me earlier."

Gao Fei looked up at Ning Ping and said, "Then why do you want to go out so much?"

Ning Ping suddenly became speechless. Of course, he couldn't tell the purpose of his departure, so he could only say: "I just want to go out and have fun. I haven't gone out since I came here."

"Who wouldn't want to? I haven't gone out yet, but I am devoted to the Tao and I am not interested in going out." After Gao Fei finished speaking, he smiled at Ning Ping and continued talking.

"I overheard the conversation between you and him while eating yesterday. It seemed like you had good intentions, but as expected, he just wanted to go out."

"How do you know?" Ning Ping was still in disbelief at this moment.

"I met Senior Brother yesterday at noon. He asked about your study status. After learning that you were proficient in it, he casually said that he would accompany Uncle An to Guangming City the next day."

Ning Ping understood it immediately. Shang Feibai's good intention was to replace him and leave the valley, but did he know how important this trip was to him?

At this moment, he could only feel helpless and sad. As expected, the other party took advantage of his desire to learn alchemy and persuaded Hua Wenyao to change his mind.

Ning Ping was not interested in how Shang Feibai persuaded the senior brother to replace him. Instead, he felt deeply angry. He had mentioned to Shang Feibai many times that he wanted to have a chance to go out, but in the end, it was Shang Feibai who set him up behind the scenes.

Ning Ping had no intention of continuing the conversation and returned to his room in a trance. Now he finally understood why the registered disciples were basically silent and didn't care about others. In the final analysis, this was the nature of the cultivators, selfish.

Not to mention how good the relationship between the two was, but Ning Ping still regarded Shang Feibai as a friend. This time he felt the first taste of being betrayed by a friend. He didn't know how important this opportunity to go out was to him.

"Oh~" Ning Ping let out a deep sigh and lay in bed for a long time before coming to his senses. He knew the hidden dangers of Chunhui Valley. If he knew it too, he would surely try desperately to escape. In the end, Ning Ping could only comfort himself in this way.
