"Two qian of snakeberry, one tael and six qian of celestial bamboo, four qian of oleander …"
Qin Mu brought Hu Ling'er to the warehouse of Imperial College and handed over the prescription. After buying the herbs he needed, he told Hu Ling'er, "The medicine I'm going to refine this time is called Lost Fragrance, it's a kind of anesthetic. Grandpa Apothecary had once used it to knock down a flood dragon. Even though that bull is strong, it can definitely knock it down! However, this kind of medicine needs to be refined using a special pill furnace, there can't be any sloppiness. "
Hu Ling'er asked curiously, "Why?"
"The fragrance given off by this kind of medicine can even knock down a flood dragon, let alone an apothecary refining pills."
Qin Mu smiled, "If the pill furnace isn't sealed, the fragrance will spread out after the medicine is refined. Wherever the fragrance passes, even great divine arts practitioners of Celestial Being Realm would probably fall. I don't have this kind of sealed pill furnace, I need to borrow one from Hall of Supreme Healing … "
Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard, "Little divine physician, where are you going?"
Qin Mu looked towards the source of the voice and smiled, "So it's Imperial Physician Qu. That's right, you're a directorate so I have to call you Teacher Qu. "
Imperial Physician Qu immediately said, "Don't say it like that, it's so embarrassing! Little divine physician, it's my lecture this afternoon and I have to talk about medical theory with the scholars. You're the divine physician so you can just replace me to give the lecture. "
Qin Mu burst out laughing, "I'm only a student so how can I give a lecture? Furthermore, I still have matters to attend to in the afternoon so I'm afraid I can't go. I plan to refine a cauldron of medicine to use in the afternoon. "
Imperial Physician Qu was slightly disappointed but his eyes suddenly lit up, "You want to refine pills?"
Qin Mu smiled, "It's not considered refining pills, just refining medicine."
Imperial Physician Qu's gaze flickered, "Little Apothecary, can I observe?"
Qin Mu hesitated for a moment and nodded his head, "I plan to borrow the pill furnace in Hall of Supreme Healing, if you want to take a look, let's go together."
Imperial Physician Qu was delighted and smiled, "Little divine physician, please go to Hall of Supreme Healing first, I'll be back soon!" After saying that, he left like the wind.
Qin Mu walked towards the Hall of Supreme Healing. Before he reached the front of the hall, Imperial Physician Qu was already waiting in front of the hall. Other than him, there were also Imperial Physician You, Imperial Physician Yu, and the others from the Imperial Physician Bureau. They all had excited expressions.
Qin Mu was puzzled. He only wanted to concoct an ordinary anesthetic. Was there a need to mobilize so many people?
"Little Divine Doctor, hurry up!"
The imperial physicians hurried him and asked, "Do we need to activate the earth fire cauldron?"
"We can help!"
"Use those medicinal herbs? How are the herbs arranged? "
"When was Shiwen? When was Shiwu? How does the Primordial Qi circulate when the technique is executed? "
…
Qin Mu walked into the Hall of Supreme Healing with them and saw a huge cauldron in front of them. This cauldron was used to refine pills and it would probably take two to three years to finish. It should be something used by the army or used to refine some earth-shattering spiritual pills.
Other than that, there were other large and small pill furnaces. These pill furnaces had rune arrays beneath them that were connected to the Earth Fire thirty thousand feet underground. Once the Earth Fire was drawn out, it could be used to refine pills.
"Is there a sealed cauldron?" Qin Mu inquired.
"Little Divine Doctor, this way please."
Imperial Physician You quickly led him to a stone cauldron in the Hall of Supreme Healing and smiled, "This cauldron is a sealed cauldron. Little Divine Doctor, do you think it's suitable?"
Qin Mu's eyes lit up. He saw that the stone cauldron was cut open with jade and hollowed out from top to bottom. It had eight trigrams and five elements inside and didn't leave any openings. As long as the cauldron was put together and spun, it would be airtight. Even if the pills exploded in the cauldron, it probably wouldn't be able to blow open the cauldron.
"It's suitable!"
Qin Mu lifted the lid of the cauldron and examined it carefully. He then placed the herbs in the order of the eight trigrams and five elements. The eight trigrams and five elements of the stone cauldron had their own order. After a certain period of time, the squares would open and the herbs in the squares would fall into the cauldron. This way, there wouldn't be a need to lift the lid of the cauldron to put the herbs in.
He placed the herbs properly and immediately gave a pat with his palm. Earth fire was drawn out from the rune formation on the ground and calcined the stone cauldron.
Hu Ling 'er wasn't interested in refining the pills and looked around. On the other hand, the white-haired old imperial physicians were watching in high spirits and couldn't take their eyes off the cauldron. Imperial Physician Yu saw Qin Mu's technique and his eyes lit up as he exclaimed in admiration, "This technique is truly superb and unimaginable. It's really good! Little Divine Doctor, why do you need to tap thirteen times in a row? "
Qin Mu replied, "Purple Pill Stone is a jade and the medicinal properties are hidden in the jade. It's harder to extract the medicinal properties than other herbs, therefore I need to tap thirteen times in a row before I can extract the medicinal properties. My cultivation is slightly weaker and if the cultivation of teachers here is dense, there's no need to tap thirteen times. You just need to extract the medicinal properties. "
The few old imperial physicians nodded their heads and immediately noted it down.
As Qin Mu refined the pills, he communicated with them at the same time. However, the few old imperial physicians asked a lot and he rarely asked. He was mostly explaining the medicinal theory and pill refining techniques to the few old imperial physicians.
