The Old Man Of Alchemy had already compromised and agreed to refine the Dragon Pill, but Gu was still not satisfied.
The corner of his mouth curled into an evil and cold sneer as he stood on top of the towering cauldron with the Moye sword spirit in his hand. He was like an arrogant god that looked down on the heavens and all living things.
This kind of man was not like Long Fei Ye, who made people feel awe. Instead, he made people feel fear and shudder.
Han Yunxi looked up at Gu. At this moment, she suddenly understood that Xiao Qi no longer existed in this world. In Gu's heart, Xiao Qi no longer existed.
Xiao Qi had already grown up!
"Old man, let me have a look at the pill recipe first." Gu was not negotiating, but ordering.
Old Man Of Alchemy's eyes flashed with a touch of displeasure. He asked loudly, "What do you want the pill recipe for? You can't understand it! "
"Who told you that I can't understand it?" Gu retorted.
"Old Man only promised to refine the pill for you. He didn't promise to give you the pill recipe!" Old Man Of Alchemy was furious. He turned around and looked at Han Yunxi. "Selling the pill but not the pill recipe. This has always been the rule!"
Han Yunxi was about to answer, but Long Fei Ye, who had always been a man of few words, spoke first. He did not speak to Old Man Of Alchemy, but to Gu. "What are you waiting for?"
Before the Old Man Of Alchemy could understand, Han Yunxi smiled. With Long Fei Ye and Gu around, no matter how big the matter was, it seemed that it had nothing to do with her. She could ask for a chair from the Old Man Of Alchemy to sit and watch.
"Hiss …"
The Old Man Of Alchemy suddenly turned around and saw Gu holding Mo Xie's Sword Soul, slowly drawing circles on the Alchemy Furnace.
"Gu!"
The Old Man Of Alchemy was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He suddenly rushed forward. As he got closer, Gu's movements became faster and faster. The Old Man Of Alchemy had no choice but to stop.
Unwillingly, he took out a prescription from his sleeve and tossed it to Gu Qishao.
After Gu caught it, he immediately looked at it seriously. After looking at it for a long time, he threw the pill formula to Han Yunxi. "Poison Girl, take a look."
Gu's medical skills could be considered the best in Cloud Realm. If he couldn't see any problems, Han Yunxi wouldn't be able to either. Unless this prescription involved poison.
Han Yunxi was on guard. As soon as she saw the prescription, she immediately asked, "What's the dosage of the snow wine?"
The prescription mentioned nineteen medicinal ingredients. The first eighteen ingredients all had a clear dosage, but the nineteenth ingredient, snow wine, didn't have a clear dosage. It only had the word "certain".
At these words, the Old Man Of Alchemy despaired. He replied impatiently, "I'll replace the clear water with the snow wine. Use it as needed. There's no dosage to speak of."
"Alright, there are no other questions. Start making the medicine," Han Yunxi didn't ask any more questions and threw the prescription to the Old Man Of Alchemy.
The Old Man Of Alchemy immediately ordered people to prepare eighteen ingredients and divide them into portions. Han Yunxi flew to the Old Man Of Alchemy's side and smiled. "Everyone else, withdraw. I'll personally assist you."
With Gu's threat, the Old Man Of Alchemy had no room to refuse. He could only have the medical apprentices withdraw.
The eighteen ingredients had to be soaked in snow wine and then boiled. Once boiled to a certain degree, the dregs and juices would be separated and stored for later use.
Han Yunxi had personally come to help out, for no other reason than the fact that snow wine and two of the 18 medicinal ingredients would produce a poison called Drunken Addiction when boiled together in certain amounts. Although Drunken Addiction wasn't fatal, it made people addicted to alcohol.
However, Drunken Addiction was very special. It couldn't be completely detoxified and could only be alleviated by taking the antidote for a certain period of time. To make the antidote, one needed the dregs of the raw ingredients used to make Drunken Addiction. Moreover, the antidote would take at least three years.
In other words, if Gu didn't pay attention and found this suspicious point, and let Han Yunxi find this flaw. Once Gu Beiyue took the Dragon Pill in the future, he could only be controlled by the Old Man Of Alchemy.
The Old Man Of Alchemy restrained Gu Beiyue in order to keep Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi didn't expose the Old Man Of Alchemy. After all, the Old Man Of Alchemy didn't indicate the dosage, and she had no evidence to accuse the Old Man Of Alchemy of his despicable means. The Old Man Of Alchemy only needed to pretend to be stupid to shirk responsibility!
However, she didn't expose him and personally assisted the Old Man Of Alchemy. The Old Man Of Alchemy knew what was going on, so he naturally didn't dare to play any tricks.
Sure enough, under Han Yunxi's "attention", the Old Man Of Alchemy was like a withered grass in summer, weak and uninterested.
How dare he use poison in front of Han Yunxi? How stupid!
Gu didn't have such good patience. He urged loudly, "Hurry up!"
The Old Man Of Alchemy looked up at him, "I can't hurry up. Slow work produces fine work. If I hurry up, what if something … "
Before he finished speaking, Gu interrupted, "Okay, okay, okay. I'll wait. I'll wait!"
Gu sat cross-legged on the Alchemy Furnace and knocked on the Alchemy Furnace with Mo Xie's Sword Spirit. He wasn't threatening. He was just bored, so he knocked on the furnace when he had nothing to do.
The Old Man Of Alchemy looked at the sky with a hopeless expression.
His movements finally became nimble, so fast that Han Yunxi couldn't see clearly. She could only start the Detoxification System to check the dosage of the snow wine.
Boiling the medicine, filtering it, boiling it again, filtering it again, mashing the dregs, kneading it, looking at the color, smelling the fragrance, tasting the taste … These series of actions were repeated continuously, changing the order. For nearly an hour, the Old Man Of Alchemy's hands didn't stop.
Although she disdained the Old Man Of Alchemy's conduct, Han Yunxi still admired the Old Man Of Alchemy's pharmaceutical and alchemy skills.
An hour later, a portion of muddy medicinal dregs and a portion of thick, viscous liquid was placed in front of Han Yunxi.
Of course, alchemy wasn't that simple. Otherwise, Han Yunxi and Gu could refine it themselves with the recipe.
The dregs and medicinal liquid were only raw materials. The alchemy hadn't really started yet.
The Old Man Of Alchemy was already scared of Gu. Without his urging, he immediately opened the doors of the second and third layers of the Alchemy Furnace and prepared to put the raw materials in.
However, at this time, Gu stopped him again. "Wait!"
At this point, what else did this annoying guy want to do? What else could he ask of him?
"What?" The Old Man Of Alchemy shouted angrily.
Gu asked with a smile, "Old man, with this amount of medicinal liquid and dregs, how many Dragon Pill do you plan to refine?"
They were all smart people. When Gu asked this, the Old Man Of Alchemy knew what he meant.
He angrily said, "You only want one pill. Why do you care how many Old Man wants to refine!"
"No, no, no!" Gu shook his finger, "Old man, I'm asking you how many Dragon Pill can you refine after using so much snow wine? As for the other eighteen herbs, they are all over my Medicine Ghost Valley. If you like, I can send you a few carts. But this snow wine is very rare. I can't just give it away! "
In other words, they wanted all the Dragon Pill that was refined!
"You!" The Old Man Of Alchemy was so angry that his lungs were about to explode!
He had never been so aggrieved in his life. His face was gloomy and he couldn't wait to tell them to scram. However, he still controlled his temper. He endured!
"Five pills! All for you! "
The Old Man Of Alchemy shouted and threw the medicinal liquid and dregs into the furnace. "Pa!" He closed the furnace door.
Five pills …
Han Yunxi's heart was filled with emotions. If it wasn't for Gu's reminder, she really wouldn't have noticed this problem. If Gu wasn't the Old Man Of Alchemy's disciple, then it would be really strange. Gu simply understood this old man too well.
Five Dragon Pill! What kind of concept is this? This means that after giving one to Gu Beiyue, they still have four pills in reserve. They can still save four experts who have lost their inner strength! "
How could such a good thing be given to the Old Man Of Alchemy for free?
If the Old Man Of Alchemy had kept his word, Han Yunxi would have considered sharing the remaining four Medicinal Pills with the Old Man Of Alchemy. After all, from finding the pill formula to finding the ingredients, everyone had contributed something.
However, what the Old Man Of Alchemy had done before made Han Yunxi feel at ease. She wanted the remaining four Medicinal Pills. She thought that this was the price the Old Man Of Alchemy had to pay for tricking them!
Looking at the closed furnace door, Han Yunxi whispered, "Let's take this opportunity to see how this big furnace refine pills."
The last time they saw this big Alchemy Furnace, Han Yunxi and the others were very curious.
This large cauldron was three stories high and had a total of nine floors. Each floor had six cauldron doors. Although the cauldron doors were hollow, there was no fire inside. It was pitch black, so one couldn't see what was inside the cauldron.
The Alchemy Furnace's uniqueness was that there was no fire in the furnace, but the whole furnace constantly emitted heat. If it wasn't winter, Gu probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the heat wave.
Refining pills was different from making medicine. To make medicine, one only needed to have medicinal materials and prepare them well. Even if some of the medicinal materials were more complicated, it would take at most two or three days.
However, refining pills took a long time. It could take as little as two or three months, or as long as two or three years. According to Han Yunxi's understanding, the Old Man Of Alchemy's greatest ability was not that he could refine miraculous pills, but that he had the ability to greatly shorten the time of refining pills. Many Medicinal Pills that took two or three years to refine could be refined by the Old Man Of Alchemy in two or three months.
Therefore, many people who were in urgent need of medicine would ask for Medicinal Pills at all costs.
In the letter that Han Yunxi received from the Old Man Of Alchemy, the Old Man Of Alchemy mentioned that if they could find the prescription, they would be able to refine the Dragon Pill in two months at the latest. Han Yunxi thought that the slowest was two months, which meant that if they were fast, they should be able to get it done in one and a half months.
It was a good choice to stay here and watch the Old Man Of Alchemy refine pills while looking for the whereabouts of the Fire of Ten Thousand Poisons. At the same time, they could also pay attention to the situation in Northern Li. At least, no one in the world would be able to guess that they would be here. Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi were curious about how the Alchemy Furnace could refine pills without an open fire.
This time, the Old Man Of Alchemy should reveal the secret of the Alchemy Furnace.
The Old Man Of Alchemy glanced at Gu and said nothing. He suddenly grabbed something out of thin air, and a flame burned in his palm.
Han Yunxi and the others had seen the Old Man Of Alchemy's ability to make fire out of thin air before.
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi remained silent. Gu's eyes flashed with a complicated look. He seemed to want to jump down from the furnace, but in the end, he did not move.
He had been here for a long time. Of course, he knew what the Old Man Of Alchemy wanted to do …
