252 Chen Jie heard this and said, "Thank you, Brother Hong."
Wu Hong said: "You and I are brothers, why bother talking about this."
Wu Hong said, "You should read the letter Yunjin sent you. I tell you, only Yunjin can recognize your set of talismans. I am confused after reading them. What the hell is that?"
Chen Jie smiled and said, "That's our little secret as a couple."
As he said this, Chen Jie took the letter and began to read it.
[My dear, I am glad to see you in person]
[You are out there, don't worry about home, everything is fine at home, Sister Hua takes good care of us, Xiaohu and the others were injured, but they were all rescued. Xiaohu kept yelling that he wanted to go find you, but I stopped him! ]
[Ruirui misses you too, and asks me every day when my brother-in-law will be back. I've seen that she can't even eat meatballs these past two days.]
[But she is very sensible. Knowing that her brother-in-law is not at home, she has been studying very hard these days. She also pestered Sister Hua to teach her martial arts. Well, I also learned it. Sister Hua said that I have a talent for martial arts. Hehe, maybe when you come back, I will become a martial arts master! ]
[Husband, life outside must be very hard. The weather has been unpredictable lately. Please put on more clothes and don't catch a cold.]
[Everything is fine at home. Ruirui, I, and everyone else are waiting for you to come back...]
Signature:
[Wife: Su Yunjin]
[In the ninth year of Zhizheng…]
Chen Jie read it from beginning to end and felt a warm current flowing through his heart.
No matter how he goes through life and death, or how difficult his life is, Chen Jie knows that he will always have a home waiting for him.
This is what he needs most. He is not afraid of danger. On the contrary, the adventure between life and death is very exciting. What he fears is loneliness. If he becomes the master of the world, an invincible existence, but has no relatives around him, then what is the meaning of his invincibility?
Chen Jie is very lucky that he now has a wife and sister waiting for him, brothers like Xiaohu who are loyal to him, a master, Wu Hong, Uncle Zhong, Aunt Bai, and Uncle Erba...
There are so many people who care about me, and it is because of these people that my existence makes sense.
Otherwise, even if you are alive, you will be very lonely, and loneliness is the biggest enemy of human beings.
After calming down, Chen Jie looked at Doctor Bai and said, "Master, do you think there is anything wrong with this prescription?"
Chen Jie handed the prescription in his hand to Doctor Bai.
Doctor Bai took it and looked at it. He was slightly stunned and said, "No problem."
"Ah, Master, what about you?"
Doctor Bai said, "This prescription was developed by the eight doctors in our inner hall. You see, I added these eight herbs. Later, the prescription was handed over to the old gang leader, who refined a furnace of Hualing Pills and made four pills in total."
"Later, two were awarded to Peng Shizhong and Nan Batian respectively. As for the others, I don't know."
"As for whether the Fishermen's Gang has been practicing again in recent years, I don't know, but the medicines here are not easy to find, especially the Hualing Grass."
Chen Jie took out a rosewood box, inside of which was a small purple grass.
Doctor Bai's eyes lit up: "Spiritual Herb!"
Chen Jie said: "Master, please look again."
As he spoke, Chen Jie took out the other two main herbs: [Jue Lingzi] and [500 Year Old Blood Ganoderma]
There was no need to look at Jue Lingzi, Doctor Bai's eyes were fixed on the blood Ganoderma lucidum handed over by Chen Jie.
"This~"
Doctor Bai's eyes widened as he said, "I have lived to this day, over sixty years old, and this is the first time I have seen a blood ganoderma of this size. This, this must be six hundred years old!"
Chen Jie said, "It should be. How is the quality of this blood ganoderma compared to the furnace of spiritual pills you made back then?"
Doctor Bai said, "The materials in that furnace back then were probably not as good as yours. Let's not talk about other medicinal materials for now. Just this 600-year-old blood ganoderma is definitely better than the ones back then."
"After five hundred years, this blood ganoderma will be improved every ten years. The medicinal power will be greatly improved. The medicinal power of the six hundred year old one is at least twice as strong as the five hundred year old one. This is a qualitative improvement."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Haha, that's good. Then Master, let's refine a furnace of Hualing Pill that is even more powerful than the one we made back then."
After hearing this, Doctor Bai showed some excitement on his face, and then said: "Okay, but the efficacy of this blood ganoderma has increased, so these medicines need to be slightly adjusted."
Thinking about this, Doctor Bai took the prescription and looked at it, then began to balance the dosage of the medicine. When a famous doctor is refining pills, he not only has to look at what is written on the prescription, but also has to understand dialectics.
What we are looking at are medicinal herbs one by one. In the eyes of famous doctors, they are the measurement of the law of conservation of yin and yang.
Doctor Bai made some slight adjustments and finally determined the dosage. Fortunately, Chen Jie bought some extra auxiliary medicines, so it was convenient to increase the dosage.
After some adjustments, Doctor Bai said, "Well, let's refine it according to this measurement."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Yes, Master."
Doctor Bai paused for a moment and said, "Jiu Si, alchemy is risky. If the furnace explodes, all the herbs you worked so hard to get will be wasted. When the old gang leader was refining the Hualing Pill, with the help of our eight doctors, the furnace exploded twice, wasting a lot of herbs and consuming all the accumulation of the Fishermen's Gang for more than ten years. You should think about it carefully!"
Chen Jie paused for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Well, I've made up my mind, Master. If it's useless, then it's useless. I can just find a way to get some herbs. If you don't even dare to try, then these herbs are just weeds and will be of no use to me."
"good."
Doctor Bai said: "You need to have this kind of determination to make an elixir, otherwise there is no point in making an elixir."
Doctor Bai was right. Making elixirs means spending money. If you are unwilling to spend money, you'd better stop making elixirs because you can't make them.
"Hong'er."
"Grandpa!"
Wu Hong said to Doctor Bai, Doctor Bai said, "Go guard outside the door. No one is allowed to come in before we come out."
"yes."
Wu Hong went out obediently.
At this time, only Doctor Bai and Chen Jie were left in the room.
Chen Jie said: "Master, I am an amateur in alchemy, you are the one who makes the alchemy, and I will learn from you."
Doctor Bai said, "Well, let's start the furnace first."
Open the furnace?
Chen Jie was puzzled, and Doctor Bai explained that in alchemy, it is not possible to directly make the most important elixir right at the beginning.
Because when it comes to the first pot of medicine, the alchemist's hands are new and his control over the furnace is not good enough. In addition, there are many other factors, so before refining the first batch of pills, the furnace needs to be started.
Find some unimportant pills, refine them, get a feel for them, and maintain the pill furnace at the same time.
Once the feel is back, the success rate of refining important pills will increase significantly.
Doctor Bai brought Chen Jie to the alchemy furnace. It was a large alchemy furnace half a person's height, divided into two layers. The lower one was a fire furnace that provided heat, and the upper one was an alchemy furnace that was used to refine the herbs.
The whole thing is made of bronze, and a sky-devouring beast is carved on the lid.
The entire furnace body is covered with cloud column patterns, which is the style of the Qin and Han dynasties.
There are eight trigrams on the front and back of the furnace, and talismans carved around it, which clearly shows that this is a Taoist alchemy furnace.
Doctor Bai said, "This furnace is an ancient artifact. I spent five thousand taels to buy it, which almost used up all my wealth."
Chen Jie was also looking at the alchemy furnace in front of him at this time.
Doctor Bai said, "Let me see if you have any other herbs here."
Doctor Bai pointed at the medicine basket that Chen Jie was carrying. Chen Jie thought about it and felt that the most precious thing in it was the Tai Sui meat. Could he show it to Doctor Bai?
However, if I say that it will not be shown, it would seem that I am narrow-minded. But considering Bai Langzhong's character, this Tai Sui meat should not be leaked out.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie opened the medicine basket.
Doctor Bai flipped through the book, his face showing no emotion. Even though the herbs here were very precious, as one of the eight doctors in the fishing gang, he had seen many more precious herbs than this.
"White Bone Fruit, King Centipede, oh, I can try to make bone strengthening pills with this."
Doctor Bai was searching, and suddenly he stopped moving, standing still.
"this?"
Doctor Bai frowned, and the next moment he looked at Chen Jie and asked, "Where did you get this?"
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Master, do you know this thing?"
Doctor Bai said, "Go and lock the door."
"Brother Hong is guarding outside, it's okay."
"He can't do it either, plug it in quickly."
"Hey~"
Chen Jie immediately agreed, and then went to lock the door. When he came back, Doctor Bai asked, "Jiu Si, do you recognize this thing?"
"Tai Sui meat."
"I know you still have the guts to show it to me."
Doctor Bai said with a serious face.
After hearing this, Chen Jie laughed and said, "You are my master, how can you harm me?"
"You are so naive! Who said that a master can't harm his apprentice? Do you know what this Tai Sui meat is?"
Chen Jie shook his head!
"That is the foundation of the imperial court, especially this raw Tai Sui meat. Do you know what it represents?"
Continue shaking your head.
"This means you may know the location of a living Tai Sui. Do you know the value of a living Tai Sui?"
Chen Jie continued to shake his head.
"Let me put it this way. If the people in the martial arts world knew that you knew the location of a living Tai Sui, then the whole martial arts world would go crazy and scramble for you. At that time, the top martial arts sects would also get involved. You would be hunted down to the point where you would have no way out, because if you could grab this living Tai Sui, it would represent the rise of a sect!"
"If the imperial court knew about this, they issued an order a hundred years ago that anyone who found the living Tai Sui would be rewarded with ten thousand gold coins and be made a marquis! But that refers to the Han people of Mulan. All nine clans will be killed and the entire family will be exterminated to keep the secret!"
"You actually left such a thing of great importance like this. I really don't know what to say to you."
Doctor Bai pointed at Chen Jie angrily.
Chen Jie immediately said, "Oh my, Master, calm down. Don't worry, you are the only one who saw this thing."
Doctor Bai said, "Even one person can't do it. Remember, in the future, when it comes to something of such importance, don't tell your master or even your own parents. Don't tell them!"
"Yes, disciple will remember this."
