Chapter 487

Valley Head Nie and Elder Zhang were standing outside the alchemy room with resentment. From time to time, they would turn back to see what Zhang Xiaohua was doing. However, they knew that this method was extremely shameless. It was just that their hearts were itching and it was hard for them to control themselves.

Inside the alchemy room, Zhang Xiaohua used the first few incantations into the alchemy furnace and the earth fire. When the temperature of the alchemy furnace rose, she waved her hand and the jade box containing the Scarlet Fire Grass opened. Then, with a move of her finger, the Scarlet Fire Grass was split into two halves. Her right hand waved again and half of the Scarlet Fire Grass flew out of the jade box and into the alchemy furnace. At the same time, the jade box was closed.

After the Scarlet Flame Grass was thrown into the cauldron, it was refined into a fist-sized medicinal liquid not long after. It kept rolling in the cauldron, and thin wisps of smoke flew out from the medicinal liquid. These were the impurities in the medicinal liquid.

Zhang Xiaohua knew that although the Scarlet Fire Grass was a rare medicinal herb, it contained a lot of Yuan Qi. Correspondingly, because it had been growing for a long time, the Yuan Qi contained a lot of impurities. It was very difficult to refine it out. It was impossible for ordinary martial arts cauldrons to obtain pure Scarlet Fire Grass liquid. Even if she refined it like this, it would take her a day and a night.

Looking at the medicinal liquid in the alchemy furnace that kept shrinking and changing into various shapes, Zhang Xiaohua frowned slightly. In a while, Valley Head Nie and Elder Zhang would definitely come in to see. How would she explain to them that the medicinal liquid was floating in mid-air?

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiaohua chuckled and started another incantation. The fist-sized medicinal liquid gradually turned into a pancake and slowly sank to the bottom of the alchemy furnace. It was just like the pancake that Guo Sufei had placed on the stove in the Guozhuang House!

Sigh, in a moment of desperation, Zhang Xiaohua's mind was only filled with the pancake that her mother had placed in her bag when she left the Guozhuang House.

Looking left and right at the alchemy furnace, there was nothing unusual. Zhang Xiaohua then walked to the entrance of the alchemy room. Just as she was about to greet them, she heard a strange voice outside, "Father, Elder Zhang, why are the two of you waiting outside the alchemy room?

Where is Brother Ren?

Is he not in the alchemy room? "

Wasn't that Nie Qianyu?

Elder Zhang's face was full of bitterness and hatred as he said, "Little Yu, you're finally here."

Nie Qianyu asked curiously, "Elder Zhang, what are you talking about?

Little Yu has been helping Big Brother Ren transcribe for the past few days and is extremely tired. I want to have a good rest these few days, but Father said yesterday that he was going to refine the Crimson Flame Pill today. I just woke up and immediately came over to help you guys. "

Following which, he smiled and said, "Big Brother Ren has always been an early riser. He must have gone to the valley to cultivate. Let's wait for a while. Anyway, it's still early."

Valley Head Nie looked at his precious daughter and bitterly smiled, "Yes, the time is still early, but there is no such thing as time to concoct Dans. Plus, picking the herbs should be done early."

"Ouch!" Nie Qianyu covered her mouth and said, "I forgot Daddy's instructions. The herbs must be picked before the dew disappears."

However, she changed the topic and said with a smile, "As the ancients said, 'Theory must be combined with practice'. I've only picked common herbs, so why would there be so many taboos?"

Then, she felt that something was wrong and asked, "Didn't Daddy make an appointment with Big Brother Ren?

Big Brother Ren should be in the pill room at this time. "

At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua walked out of the pill room with a smile and said, "Little Fishy Nie, you're here too?"

Nie Qianyu smiled and said, "Good morning, Big Brother Ren. Why aren't you inviting us in?

Father and Elder Zhang have already gathered the herbs and brought them here. "

"Hahaha," Zhang Xiaohua laughed and said, "Then please come in."

Valley Head Nie and Elder Zhang were pleasantly surprised, "We can go in now?"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded slightly, and the two of them immediately strode forward, taking the lead to rush in.

Nie Qianyu was puzzled, but she wasn't a talkative person. She accompanied Zhang Xiaohua into the pill room slowly.

There was a faint medicinal fragrance in the pill room. It wasn't strong and was much fainter than the previously refined Fasting Pill, All Dispelling Pill, and New Snow Pill.

Seeing that Daddy and Elder Zhang didn't ask anything and directly rushed to the small pill furnace above the earth fire, Nie Qianyu couldn't help but ask in astonishment, "Big Brother Ren, you've already started refining pills?"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "Yes, we've already started long before you came."

"But …" Nie Qianyu was about to ask something when she heard Elder Zhang call out, "Ren Shaoxia, please come over."

Zhang Xiaohua quickly walked over and smiled, "Elder Zhang, what's the problem?"

Elder Zhang pointed at the puddle of medicinal liquid at the bottom of the pill furnace and asked, "Nephew Ren doesn't use water to refine pills. Why is there so much water at the bottom of the pill furnace?"

Zhang Xiaohua knew that using martial arts to refine pills had the same effect as using immortal arts to refine impurities. However, the refining method was too tyrannical and directly used fire to turn the impurities into ashes. At the same time, it also inevitably lost a lot of the essence within. However, immortal arts turned medicinal herbs into medicinal liquid and used a formation to protect it. This was the gentle way. Not only could it remove as many impurities as possible, it could also better retain the essence within.

Rejuvenation Valley's "Water Decoction Method" should also have this layer of meaning.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Elder Zhang, take a closer look. That's not water, but the juice of the Scarlet Fire Grass. I didn't add anything else."

Valley Head Nie was greatly shocked and said, "Nephew Ren, you can actually maintain the medicinal liquid in this state at such a high temperature and not turn it into air and fly out. How did you do it?"

Zhang Xiaohua rubbed her nose and said, "Uncle Nie, forgive me for not being able to answer this question."

Valley Head Nie and Elder Zhang were both disappointed. They looked at each other and then focused on the puddle of liquid.

At this time, Nie Qianyu also walked to the front of the pill furnace and stuck her head out to look at the situation inside. She thought of the question just now and said with a smile, "I started refining pills a long time ago, but when I came, father …"

Before she finished speaking, Valley Head Nie seemed to have realized something and suddenly raised his head to ask, "Nephew Ren, you just said that this juice is from the Scarlet Fire Grass?"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Nie, is there a problem?"

"But, in the pill recipe, didn't it clearly state that the Scarlet Fire Grass and Crimson Pearl Grass have to be added together and that the two main medicinal properties have to be slowly refined?" Valley Head Nie asked somewhat anxiously.

Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand and said, "Uncle Nie, don't worry. I have confidence. This Scarlet Fire Grass juice still needs to be refined for a day and a night. I can only put the Crimson Pearl Grass in at this time tomorrow."

"What???"

The three people at the side were all shocked and said in unison, "Just refining this Scarlet Fire Grass takes a day and a night?"

Zhang Xiaohua suddenly remembered that the formula for the Crimson Flame Pill did not specify the time needed to refine it. He had been busy with the matter of the array these past few days and had neglected this problem. The elixirs refined by Rejuvenation Valley were extremely ordinary, and the elixirs he had refined recently were at most a meal's worth of time. He had never refined an elixir as time-consuming as the Crimson Flame Pill. Of course, it would be surprising if he said it out loud.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiaohua explained, "Elder Zhang, Valley Master Nie, in the recipe for the Crimson Flame Pill, it only states the steps to concoct the pill, but it doesn't state the specific time. The concoction method in my sect is different from the previous one. It emphasizes on the word 'gentle', which means to use a gentle flame to produce fine work. Therefore, the time taken is much longer."

Nie Qianyu asked curiously, "Then Big Brother Ren, how long will it take?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "It's not done one by one. After a while, you can put the Crimson Pearl Grass and the other herbs into the pill furnace. They will be refined together for a day and a night."

"Oh, I see." The three people sighed. This was understandable.

However, the next words shocked them again.

"However, after refining, the juice still needs to be nourished in the pill furnace for thirteen days!"

Zhang Xiaohua said indifferently.

"Ah … ah … this …" The three people did not know what to say.

Yes, the alchemy of the Immortal Dao had long been lost. Although the alchemy of the Martial Dao had the saying of pill nurturing, as time passed, this term was gradually forgotten. At this time in Rejuvenation Valley, pill nurturing was nothing more than rolling the muddy medicinal dregs into a round ball.

However, before they could react, Zhang Xiaohua said again, "I'm sorry, but I have to put in the Crimson Pearl Grass. Please wait at the entrance of the pill room."

Nie Qianyu was stunned and blurted out, "Big Brother Ren, just put in your medicine. Haven't I seen you do it a dozen times? What's there to avoid?"

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Valley Head Nie and said, "Little Yu 'er, go out with Uncle Nie first and let him explain to you. This pill furnace needs to be filled quickly. There can't be any delay."

When he said "there can't be any delay", Valley Head Nie and Elder Zhang became anxious and pulled the clueless Nie Qianyu out of the pill room.

After the three of them left, Zhang Xiaohua squinted her eyes and looked at the medicinal liquid in the pill furnace. She cast a spell and the Crimson Pearl Grass turned into a round ball and floated in the air. Zhang Xiaohua looked at the rolling medicinal liquid and waited for a while before adding half of the Crimson Pearl Grass into it. The moment the Crimson Pearl Grass entered the Crimson Pearl Grass, there was a reaction. The spherical medicinal liquid suddenly expanded as if it was about to explode. Zhang Xiaohua was not in a hurry. She cast a spell with both hands and her vital Qi flowed freely into the spell. When the spell was cast into the medicinal liquid, the medicinal liquid immediately rolled like a child's toy in the pill furnace. After a long while, it finally calmed down and floated quietly in the pill furnace.

Zhang Xiaohua knew that although it looked peaceful, the fire-attributed Crimson Pearl Grass and the water-attributed Crimson Pearl Grass were quietly fusing in the medicinal liquid, reinforcing and restraining each other.

However, the sphere was the original form of the medicinal liquid. She did not know if changing it to a pancake shape would affect the fusion of the two main ingredients.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiaohua released her divine sense and observed the changes in the medicinal liquid. She then cast a spell and slowly sank the medicinal liquid to the bottom, changing it to a "pancake shape".

Fortunately, although the external shape of the medicinal liquid had changed, the internal fusion was still the same. There were no other changes because of the external shape.

Zhang Xiaohua spread out the medicinal liquid and almost touched the sweat on her forehead. Was there anyone in the Immortal Dao who could refine pills like her?
