Chapter 24 Purple Yang Pill
Wu Yan looked at the Nine-Leaf Purple Sun Grass in his hand, his face was extremely ugly. This Nine-Leaf Purple Sun Grass now looked limp and a little wilted. Even if Wu Yan didn't understand pharmacology, he could see that the efficacy of this mature herb had been lost by more than half. Moreover, although he was not proficient in pharmacology now, he was no longer the boy who knew nothing.
He slapped himself in frustration. In the past six months, although he had a rough understanding of pharmacology and learned to take care of herbs, he was obviously not careful enough.
Like this fully mature Nine-Leaf Purple Sun Grass, it is no longer an ordinary herb. It has some spiritual energy and can be regarded as half a spiritual medicine. This kind of spiritual medicine naturally cannot be dried and sealed in a cloth bag like ordinary herbs, but should be sealed in a special jade box to ensure that the spiritual energy of the spiritual medicine is not lost.
He was so rash to put the Nine-Leaf Purple Sun Grass in the cloth bag casually. After more than a day, it would be strange if the spiritual energy did not dissipate.
Fortunately, the amount of purple sun grass used to prepare the medicine on the prescription is very small, only one leaf is needed. Now that most of the spiritual energy of the purple sun grass has been lost, it is a pity to add this whole plant, but it can still be prepared into the unknown medicine.
Wu Yan blamed himself, but he did not dare to waste time. He quickly threw the nine-leaf purple sun grass into the stone mortar and pounded it.
Half an hour later, Wu Yan wiped the sweat from his head exhaustedly and poured the purple liquid medicine in the stone mortar into another small bowl. After such a toss, Wu Yan felt exhausted and a little depressed. However, looking at the two bowls of liquid medicine that had been packed up, as long as he went through a few more complicated procedures, the medicine on the prescription could be prepared by him, and the God-eating Gu in his brain might also be driven away, and he felt that it was worth it no matter how tired he was.
Wu Yan hurriedly ate a little food, and then sat in the cave to meditate and recover his strength and spirit.
...
Wu Yan didn't care about the liquid medicine all afternoon. He took the last pill of Condensing Essence Pill and spent the whole afternoon meditating and refining Qi. Although the Condensing Essence Pill didn't have much effect on him now, he still tried to see if he could successfully break through the third level of the Nameless Formula with this pill of Condensing Essence Pill.
Three hours later, Wu Yan felt that the energy flow in his body seemed to have increased a little, but to his disappointment, although he had gained something from this meditation, he still couldn't break through.
Wu Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, got up and walked out of the Yunhai Cave, went down to the valley, and walked to the herbs beside the medicinal field. The growth of those herbs had indeed changed. Although these changes didn't seem to be very obvious, that is, they looked greener than other herbs, Wu Yan still saw that the herbs did seem to have grown for two more days and were a little taller than before.
Wu Yan was more certain of his guess and couldn't help but smile. The depressed mood of sitting and practicing for three hours without a breakthrough was diluted a lot. He fetched another bucket of water, filled a small stove with water, and watered the herbs before leaving the medicinal field.
He walked around the valley and came to the entrance of the valley. He saw the two servants he had ordered to deliver food to him in the morning standing carefully at the entrance of the valley. They brought all the things he had ordered them to buy in the morning, put them in a box, and placed them at the entrance of the valley.
Wu Yan nodded to the two people with satisfaction and gave them five taels of silver. After the two left with many thanks, he turned around and walked back to the valley with an expressionless face.
After the two servants walked away, Wu Yan made a grimace and smiled happily.
Wu Yan held the box and returned to Yunhai Cave again carefully. In order to prevent accidents, he set up several array traps at the entrance of the valley. These array traps were all learned from the book "The Complete Collection of Mysterious Arrays". Although they can only deal with some wild beasts and thieves, they are not a big obstacle to real masters, but they are better than nothing. Moreover, if someone really breaks in, these traps can also serve as a warning.
Wu Yan first lit up all six oil lamps in the cave, and placed them in six different directions according to some strange rules, making the whole cave as bright as day, and also fading his shadow to the point where it was almost invisible.
After doing all this, Wu Yan opened the box, took out the things inside, and put them on the stone table one by one.
A small bag of finely ground white flour, newly collected royal honey, fresh pigeon eggs, a jar containing a live eel...
These things filled the entire stone table in a moment. These are all the medicines for preparing the unknown medicine. After taking out the things in the box, Wu Yan covered the mouth of a small bamboo tube with two pieces of white gauze, then picked up one of the bowls of crushed liquid medicine and slowly poured it on the gauze at the mouth of the bamboo tube...
Time passed bit by bit, and the oil lamps in the cave burst out one by one. Wu Yan concentrated on preparing the medicine step by step according to the prescription.
Puff, puff... The oil in the six oil lamps ran out and went out one after another, and the first ray of dawn shone in from the cave entrance.
Wu Yan cheered. Although his eyes were red and bloodshot at the moment, he cheered and laughed excitedly.
In a small porcelain bowl in front of him, twelve purple thumb-sized pills lay quietly. Although the pills looked ugly and rough, the faint medicinal fragrance showed that these twelve pills were the successfully prepared unknown medicine.
He named this medicine Ziyang Dan. The faint medicinal fragrance emanating from Ziyang Dan was exactly the same as described in the prescription.
Wu Yan smiled happily for a while, and put the twelve purple yang pills in a small porcelain bottle. After carefully cleaning up the Yunhai Cave, Wu Yan lay on the stone bed with satisfaction, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
…
I don’t know how long I slept. When Wu Yan woke up, he felt hungry, but his spirit was unprecedentedly vigorous. He stretched his stiff muscles and walked out of the Yunhai Cave.
The sun was setting, and it seemed to be evening. Wu Yan went down to the bottom of the valley, walked to the medicinal field, carefully observed the herbs, and showed a satisfied smile on his face.
These herbs now seem to have grown taller and bigger than yesterday, and the faint medicinal fragrance emanates from the leaves, which makes people feel refreshed.
After confirming his guess, there is no need to use the small stove to water them. Wu Yan decided to use the mysterious green soil to ripen these herbs. He took a small iron shovel, dug a small hole next to the root of each herb, put in some green soil, and sealed the soil again.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Wu Yan walked to the entrance of the valley, took the food placed at the entrance of the valley, and ate it voraciously without caring whether it was cold or not, touched his belly, and returned to Yunhai Cave in a happy mood.
After sitting cross-legged, Wu Yan first meditated and adjusted his state to the peak, then opened his eyes, took out the small porcelain bottle, poured a Ziyang Pill, and put it in his palm.
Wu Yan stared at the Ziyang Pill in his palm quietly, thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, opened his mouth and swallowed the Ziyang Pill, then took a piece of white silk, bit it in his mouth, and began to close his eyes and adjust his breath to refine the Ziyang Pill he had taken.
