Chapter 458: Valley Master Nie’s Thoughts
Seeing his daughter being so surprised and trying to stop him, Valley Master Nie nodded secretly: "This girl hasn't gotten carried away yet."
Nie Qianyu said again: "Dad, are you really sure that you are doing this? There are several elixirs in there that are the treasures of our Rejuvenation Valley. They are the hard work of generations of people before us; moreover, the elixirs refined from these elixirs are It is also a coveted treasure in the world, and if Brother Ren accidentally leaks it, it will bring disaster to us in the Valley of Rejuvenation."
After hearing this, Valley Master Nie nodded and said, "Xiao Yu, what you said is true. Daddy is very pleased. However, you only saw one layer and did not see the depth."
"Dad, please speak."
"First of all, although this elixir is the secret of the Rejuvenation Valley, it has not been refined into an elixir for thousands of years. Is this elixir still called an elixir if it cannot be refined into an elixir?"
"Secondly, the elixir refined in this elixir can only improve internal strength and strengthen the body. If Xiaoyao's martial arts is so strong, even if he succeeds in refining it, it will only be a further step forward. Do you think , will he tell others if he gets such a prescription or elixir?"
"Also, this kind of elixir is not a secret in super sects. It has long been a legend in ordinary martial arts sects. Even if Ren Xiaoyao leaks it, his first priority is his own safety, and I, the Valley of Rejuvenation, am originally refining elixirs. It’s not surprising that a family like this has such an elixir, and as long as we insist that this elixir is completely fictitious, who can use the thousand-year-old legend as a basis?”
"What's more, the super sect won't care about this recipe. How can we be afraid of ordinary sects? Don't forget that our alliance is also a considerable force in the world."
"But, what if it is the force that is chasing my daughter?"
"Then there's no need to be afraid. Ren Xiaoyao escorted you back and ruined their big deal. Ren Xiaoyao couldn't even hide from them. How could he take the initiative to provoke them?"
"Oh, actually, once dad masters the technique, he can make it at home. Why..."
Valley Master Nie smiled bitterly and said: "Although Ren Xiaoyao can use this technique to refine elixirs, dad may not be able to succeed. The elixirs refined by the ancient methods of our Huichun Valley have not been available for thousands of years, and the elixirs are far more effective." It cannot be compared with the records in the classics. If we don’t let Ren Xiaoyao help with the refining now, if we pass through this village without this shop, it will be too late for us to regret it in the future.”
Nie Qianyu somewhat understood what her father was thinking. The Valley of Rejuvenation had always been famous for its elixirs and healing. Others thought that the Valley of Rejuvenation's reputation for thousands of years must have a profound foundation, but only a few people knew it.
The early savings of the Valley of Rejuvenation have been exhausted, many elixirs have been lost, and the ancient method of alchemy has become extinct. The scenery is far from what was imagined.
If Zhang Xiaohua could refine all the elixirs in the Valley of Rejuvenation according to ancient methods, not to mention the big impact, it would at least make the backbone of the Valley of Rejuvenation a little harder. Moreover, Zhang Xiaohua has refined the elixir of Rejuvenation Valley along the way, so it should be given to Valley Master Nie, no, it should be a bright road for the development of Rejuvenation Valley in the future.
Seeing that her father had made up his mind, Nie Qianyu nodded resolutely and said, "I understand, Dad, I will tell you when I can use those pills."
Valley Master Nie nodded with a smile: "I believe in your vision, Xiao Yu."
His eyes also turned out of the hall, and he said leisurely: "I also believe in my own vision."
In the inner valley, in the alchemy room, Zhang Xiaohua was "sweating like rain" doing "coolie work" for the Valley of Rejuvenation. He could see the magic formulas of his hands entering the alchemy furnace one after another. Although there was fire shining out of the alchemy furnace, However, the surrounding temperature was not too high. Even through the open furnace mouth, no trace of hot air could be seen coming out. Only impurities like fly ash occasionally floated out.
The several elixir prescriptions left by Nie Qianyu are all ordinary elixirs. Even if you use the martial arts cauldron, it can only last for a moment or three, let alone the immortal elixir furnace, pregnancy pills, embryo pills and the like. It all went by in a flash and didn't take much time. When Nie Qianyu came to the hall to talk to Valley Master Nie, Zhang Xiaohua had already successfully refined half of the elixir.
However, although the process of the elixirs just refined is the same, the situation during the pregnancy elixir is somewhat different.
Baixiao Dan and Xinxue Dan were refined in the elixir furnace. When Zhang Xiaohua looked at the pregnancy pills with his spiritual consciousness, he could vaguely sense the cycle of the five elements contained in them. Although the refined elixirs were small, they were as big as The same as yesterday's Bigu Pill, the potency of the medicine is very little able to seep out of the pill; while the Plum Tongue Pill obviously has huge loopholes. Although it is not as obvious as the Bigu Pill that was refined earlier, the difference is obvious.
After waiting for a while, after refining the remaining herbs, Zhang Xiaohua pinched the magic formula and hit it on several pills of different sizes. The pills floated in front of his eyes out of thin air. Zhang Xiaohua used Observing carefully with his spiritual consciousness, he found that less than half of the pills inside were overflowing with medicinal fragrance. Looking at the other pills that were unusually round and black in color, Zhang Xiaohua frowned slightly.
If my guess is correct, the several elixirs that can restrain the power of medicine should have the five elements, and the metal, wood, water, fire, and earth can complement each other and form a small system of their own. They should be called real elixirs, but the other few probably lack the One or several of the five elements cannot be self-contained.
Alas, most of the elixir prescriptions in the Valley of Rejuvenation are different from those in the Immortal Way. Whether it is the name or the medicinal herbs, the jade slips Zhang Xiaohua obtained are just alchemy techniques, and only a few precious medicinal herbs are recorded in detail. The paintings are The shape and the rest are just names. I don’t know if the herbs have been lost or have all been renamed.
There is no doubt that the origin of the elixir recipe in the Valley of Rejuvenation comes from the Immortal Way. However, over the course of thousands of years, perhaps the herb has been lost, perhaps the name has changed, and the elixir recipe has also changed. For Baixiao Dan, perhaps it is because the name of the herb is the same as before. , maybe the substitute herb found is consistent with the five elements of the previous one, so the five elements of the elixir can be maintained; Meitongue Pill is probably not as lucky as Baixiao Dan, and the five elements of the substitute herb are not consistent, or... or some reason, Zhang Xiaohua herself couldn’t explain clearly. In short, this elixir recipe was flawed!
Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand, put the elixirs in the air into jade bottles, and recorded the thoughts just now on the jade slips. Then she raised her head, with a trace of confusion in her eyes.
The Immortal Way was annihilated, and the Alchemy Way was naturally in decline. The inheritance and changes over the past ten thousand years have no longer known the original truth. I have the skills to make alchemy, but I can't find the suitable medicinal herbs. I have no choice but to do nothing.
Moreover, there is another main reason why Zhang Xiaohua wants to stay in the Valley of Rejuvenation and use their elixir recipes to refine elixirs. That is, the alchemy techniques recorded in the jade slips are divided into two types. One is the method he is currently using. The elemental stone stimulates the formation to produce elixir fire and tempers the elixir. This method is often used for ordinary elixirs. The refining time of these elixirs is short, there are few techniques, and the requirements are not high. Another method is to use external fire to directly heat the alchemy furnace, and use the alchemy furnace to generate the elixir fire for quenching. This method is often used for relatively advanced elixirs. This elixir takes a long time to become an elixir, often several days. , for more than ten days, or even hundreds of days, the techniques used are also extremely complicated, and if you are not careful, the elixir will fail.
Zhang Xiaohua has now mastered the first alchemy method proficiently, but is unfamiliar with the second one. He sees that the alchemy mode in Huichun Valley is very similar to the second method, and there are also conditions in Huichun Valley that are not available outside. Then I wanted to try to see if I had the opportunity to truly learn the second method of alchemy in the Valley of Spring.
However, several of the current elixir recipes can be simply refined using the first method, and there is no need for the second method at all.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohua got up from the futon. Earlier, she used her spiritual consciousness to explore the inner valley. She saw that there were many quiet places in the depths of the inner valley, with deep vegetation and continuous streams. The key is that the vitality of the Spring Valley is strong, and There might be rare and rare herbs inside. These things may not be able to be seen carefully with spiritual consciousness, but you still have to go and see them in person to know.
Moreover, since the Valley of Rejuvenation has elixirs, it might be the inheritance of some immortal ways. If you wander around there, you might encounter some by chance.
After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua made a magic trick with her hands, jumped down, and disappeared without a trace. She didn't even leave the door, and directly escaped to the depths of the inner valley.
Fortunately, the method of spiritual consciousness behind "Leading the Spirit" was very useful. Zhang Xiaohua soon came to a small stream. Next to the small stream was a deep jungle. The afternoon sun was already scorching hot, but here it was. It looked extremely shady, and there was a small hillside in front of it. Zhang Xiaohua floated up and stood on the hillside, looking at several neatly repaired small medicinal gardens at the foot of the hillside. Needless to say, these were specially planted in Huichun Valley. Precious herbs.
Zhang Xiaohua scanned the area with her spiritual consciousness and found that this herb absorbed vitality much faster than the surrounding herbs, and the vitality in the sky was also much denser. He walked towards the hillside again, bypassed several obstacles, and stopped in front of one of the medicinal gardens. He squatted down and looked carefully. Sure enough, it was a medicinal herb called "Eclipse Yincao". This medicinal herb was mentioned on the jade slips. The names in the books in Zhong and Huichun Valley are all general. Although there are no figures on the jade slips, there are pictures in the books, and the records in both are the same: "Nature cherishes yin, lives on water.", but in the jade slips it is The ingredients for refining the "Xunmui Pill", and the book is the main ingredient of the "Awakening Pill".
Look, this place is far away from the mouth of the valley. It is a good place for the growth of "eclipse grass". If you inform Valley Master Nie and come back to pick it, Valley Master Nie has promised you that this place in the inner valley will be harvested. You can use the medicinal herbs at will. Presumably the medicinal herbs from far away should be in the inner valley.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua did not intend to be polite to Valley Master Nie. She took out the refined jade box from her arms, carefully followed the steps mentioned in the jade slip, picked several "Eclipse Yin Grass" trees, and sealed them into the jade box.
