Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

The art of alchemy has existed since ancient times, and Zuo Feng didn't know which great man created it. When he was chatting with Yao Xun, he had heard some related legends. It is said that some people first discovered that some plants contain a lot of energy from heaven and earth. This energy is not just spiritual energy, but also contains some substances that can heal injuries and even transform the human body.

After countless predecessors' repeated attempts, it was found that each plant has different effects on the human body. Later, after several generations of people who did not fear their own dangers and tried various plants in person, the definition of medicinal materials was truly born. Later, after some attempts by some intelligent people, it was found that mixing medicinal materials together would have even more amazing power.

It was also from that time that medicinal materials that only cure diseases and save lives also had new effects. The initial mixing of medicinal materials was to select, grind and mix plants, but later it was slowly discovered that the medicinal effect would be more prominent after steaming, drying and other methods. This is the method of mixing medicines that Zuo Feng learned from Zhuang Yu.

The method of mixing medicine is also known as the production of ancient medicine. This method aims to fully exert the medicinal power of the medicinal materials themselves, and at the same time release all the medicinal power by harmonizing the spiritual power in the body. Some people who practice body refining gradually discovered that in the method of mixing medicine, they can use spiritual power to drive the flame crystal and use fire energy to achieve better results.

More importantly, the operation of the medicinal power of the method of mixing medicine mainly depends on the user, while the method of refining medicine relies on the personal ability of the pharmacist, but in any case, the method of mixing medicine is the initial form of refining medicine and the foundation of the pharmacist. However, with the passage of time, this method of mixing medicine has gradually been abandoned by people, because most people are more concerned about the results of refining medicine and the improvement of mental power brought by refining medicine.

In the end, in the Xuanwu Empire, a continent famous for refining medicine, only a few people understand the method of mixing medicine, of course, among them is the guide of Zuo Feng's refining medicine, Zhuang Yu. There is a benefit of practicing the method of mixing medicine, that is, it can make the pharmacist have a deeper understanding of the medicinal materials and a better understanding of the medicinal power of the medicinal materials themselves.

This is why Yao Xun showed such a shocked expression when he saw Zuo Feng actually knew how to mix medicines. At the same time, Yao Xun's interest in Zuo Feng became stronger. It took Zuo Feng more than a month to make medicine liquid from barely making medicine powder. This speed of progress can be called abnormal.

Yao Xun did not say much about this. Zuo Feng did not know that the greatest treasure Zhuang Yu left him was the method of mixing medicines that he taught him. It was also because of this that Zuo Feng was able to do it well when transforming Wangyouzui.

At this moment, after Zuo Feng finished refining Huili Powder, he began to think about how to improve the Detoxification Powder. If it were an ordinary pharmacist, he might be at a loss when facing dozens of medicinal materials, but Zuo Feng could constantly evolve the results of mixing various medicinal materials in his mind.

Zuo Feng grabbed a foxtail flower with a thought in his mind. The detoxification effect of this medicinal material itself was not obvious, but when he took out another very ordinary curly grass, a look of excitement immediately appeared on Zuo Feng's face. Then Zuo Feng picked out a few more herbs and placed them in front of him in the order he had thought of.

In this process, Zuo Feng seemed to be doing it easily, but in a house not far from Zuo Feng, Yao Xun, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes. At this time, his eyes flashed with a very gentle joy, and his face was full of relief.

Zuo Feng's every move was under his observation, and when Zuo Feng took out these herbs, he had guessed what Zuo Feng wanted to do with his own superb alchemy skills. Alchemy is simply made according to the prescription, which is almost the result of countless attempts by the predecessors. Later generations do not need to have too much understanding, just follow it completely.

And the difficulty of improving a medicinal powder is probably not much simpler than recreating a prescription. Most of the herbs in front of Zuo Feng were used to make low-level detoxification powder, but when Zuo Feng added the foxtail flower and the curled leaf grass, the efficacy of the medicine itself would have a qualitative leap. Although it was not as good as the liquid medicine, it was more than one level higher than the original efficacy.

After Zuo Feng picked out the herbs, he began to refine them, because he was not sure whether they would have too many effects, and he would only know after refining them, so he did not intend to waste time to start refining directly.

Zuo Feng first started to refine according to his own ideas. He slightly adjusted the steps of refining the detoxification powder, but Zuo Feng did not forget the original yin and yang coordination and the interaction between the medicinal properties. Although he was also refining the medicine powder, Zuo Feng was very careful this time and did not dare to be distracted at all, and his attention was unprecedentedly focused, and he did not miss any subtle changes in the medicine furnace.

But not too long after, a low muffled sound came from the medicine furnace, and then a faint black smoke spread out from the top and bottom of the medicine furnace. Failure in refining medicine is commonplace for Zuo Feng, especially this time's failure was already expected by him.

Zuo Feng lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then adjusted the several herbs in front of him. The so-called adjustment was actually that he slightly changed the order of refining. According to his original estimate, the newly added foxtail flower and curly grass were both cold in nature, and some of the other herbs were hot, but most were close to neutral.

So he chose to extract the newly added foxtail flower and curly grass first, and then refine them in the original order, so that the liquid medicine extracted from all the herbs can be mixed smoothly. However, after the actual operation, Zuo Feng found that his original judgment was still biased.

That is, the foxtail flower and curly grass are two herbs with not too strong medicinal properties. After the fusion, the properties have changed. He originally took a fancy to the characteristics of these two herbs, but ignored the change of this characteristic. Other herbs must also be adjusted accordingly.

After a little thought, Zuo Feng reconsidered a set of extraction and fusion orders. The subsequent refining made Zuo Feng feel a headache, because after repeated adjustments, the result was still a series of upset muffled sounds. Although these herbs are not very precious, they are very precious to Zuo Feng now.

Because he is trapped here and dare not leave at all, he can only wait until he leaves Luancheng and goes to a safe place where no one knows him to replenish his herbs. So when Zuo Feng consumed nearly half of the herbs, he had to stop and think carefully.

If the amount of medicinal materials was more abundant, he could continue to squander them without regard for the consequences. Now he could only rely on serious thinking and deduction and simulation in his mind instead of refining. But Zuo Feng was only a teenager under the age of sixteen after all, and many of his deductions were very vague, and he was still not sure whether he could succeed in the end.

Just when Zuo Feng was at a loss, a slightly yellowed leaf fell from the sky, and it happened to fall in the middle of the medicinal materials arranged by Zuo Feng. When Zuo Feng saw this dead leaf, his eyes were attracted by it at once. After a pause, Zuo Feng stood up with a happy face and bowed deeply in one direction.

Yao Xun, who was originally meditating in a house in that direction, had already left at this time, but there was the same dead leaf where he originally sat.

Zuo Feng was very familiar with this dead leaf, because it was a kind of medicinal material called Qingmuye produced by Ye Lin, and this leaf grew from the most famous Qingtiemu in Ye Lin Empire, and its name was derived from this. This kind of dead leaves can be regarded as the most common medicinal material in the Yelin Empire, and its value is also the lowest among all low-level medicinal materials.

Qing Tiemu is famous for its strength in the continent, and it is also the first choice for many big families to make furniture, but few people will pay attention to its leaves. As a native of Yelin, Zuo Feng is very familiar with this Qingmu leaf. Qingmu leaves are warm in nature. After simple grinding, they can treat minor external injuries. Taking them internally will accelerate the circulation of blood and help recovery after a serious illness, and they also have a slight refreshing effect.

Most people living in the Yelin Mountains will prepare some Qingmu leaf powder on their bodies. Although the medicinal effect is very weak, the advantage is that you don’t need to spend a lot of money to buy it. You can pick it casually in the mountains. Zuo Feng now has some on him. This is also what he prepared when he had little money and no good medicine. Later, when he had nanocrystals, he just threw it in casually.

At this moment, the moment he saw the Qingmu leaf, he knew that the leaf would definitely not appear for no reason. He first thought that Yao Xun was reminding himself. Because I had been having a headache about how to solve the problem of foxtail flower and curly grass, now my brain seemed to be unblocked, and all the problems were solved immediately.

Foxtail flower and curly grass are both cool medicinal materials. With the addition of green wood leaves, they can not only play a comprehensive medicinal role, but also make the final medicine powder more balanced. So after Zuo Feng figured out the reason, he immediately stood up and bowed to the place where he felt Yao Xun should be.

According to Yao Xun's instructions and Zuo Feng's previous exploration, this time the detoxification powder was refined very smoothly, and Zuo Feng vaguely felt that the effect of this medicine powder might be comparable to the general low-level detoxification liquid, but the real effect still needs to be tested before it is clear, but after all, this is a detoxification medicine, and what he hopes most is that he has no chance to use it.

When the first ray of morning light fell on Luancheng, it also ushered in the most prosperous moment of Luancheng, which was the last auction held every five years. Although many people were not qualified to participate in person, or even to take a look, many people were still driven by curiosity or for other purposes to watch around the auction house. At this time, Luancheng was as lively as a major festival.

At this time, at the east gate of Luancheng, a pretty figure was slowly walking out of the city. Her pace was slightly different from that of ordinary women.
