Fairy cage

Yu Lie followed Fang Wumu and walked into the depths of the darkroom. He immediately saw scrolls, booklets, parchments and other items in boxes, all neatly arranged.

There are new ones and old ones, the new ones are smooth and tender, and the old ones are dry and wrinkled, like dead leaves, as if they will break into pieces if you pinch them.

Seeing this, Yu Lie immediately knew that Fang Wumu had not told a lie just now. The reason why this place was dark was to ensure that the originals of many elixirs and prescriptions could be preserved as well as possible.

After all, paper and other objects that have aged a bit are quite fragile. And things like elixir prescriptions must not be unclear or have missing words or omissions. They belong to the category of cautious documents.

It seems that in addition to being dark and hidden from the light, this secret room where the elixir is stored must have other more carefully arranged things to facilitate the preservation of the elixir.

"I just don't know if there is a formation in this medicine hall?" Yu Lie thought secretly in his heart.

Formation can be used to create a quiet room, or to change the world. It solidifies the effects of spells in one place. It has many wonderful uses, which are far beyond the reach of the Taoist stage.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from beside him, interrupting Yu Lie's reverie.

Fang Wumu was holding a red light and was blind, but he could walk quite freely. He pointed at a row of shelves and said:

"The bookshelf here, the prescriptions prepared on it are the prescriptions related to the transformation of copper ribs and iron bones."

Yu Lie became interested, and he immediately stepped forward and stared at the bookshelf. As Mr. Fang's godson, Fang Wumu was actually quite clumsy at this time, following Yu Lie's footsteps and lighting the lamp for Yu Lie.

The names of the elixirs flowed past Yu Lie’s eyes:

"Yangqi Tea Pills", "Bawang Carrying Ding Powder", "Kaimai Jingu Pills", "Yi Jingu Decoction"...

There are dozens or hundreds of kinds of medicines including pills, powders, soups, etc., and the functions, preparation methods, pictures, etc. of each elixir are recorded separately, which is quite complicated.

Yu Lie looked at them one after another, his eyes suddenly filled with surprise.

These are serious elixirs that either help with cultivation or can increase Qi and blood. Their preparation methods are also quite strict, and they are no longer ordinary pills that can be prepared by ordinary people.

However, there are so many medicines and prescriptions, many of which only have slightly different effects. Or although the effect is the same, the Taoist state targeted is different, so the name of the elixir is also different.

Refining elixirs and making medicines is not just about randomly refining a pill and then using it for all Taoists.

Some elixirs are obviously made of the same medicinal materials and are only used to assist cultivation. However, if used by men, they will help to activate Qi and blood. However, if used by women, they will easily suffer from bleeding and may even be life-threatening.

Because in the world of mountains and seas, alchemy has not only differentiated into three major alchemy methods, but its categories and methods have also developed to a strict and complicated level.

So much so that Taoists who don't know how to make elixirs now have to be cautious and consult a doctor even when taking medicine. If you get a pill out of thin air, you will definitely not dare to swallow it privately. You must go to the alchemy hall to ask someone to see you before you dare to swallow it.

In particular, elixirs that are not exported by government-run elixir houses or are not from well-established elixir houses have not passed quality inspection. After Taoists take them, they are often not only useless but harmful, and there are countless cases of being defrauded and defrauded.

For example, the "Bone Forging Pill" that Yu Lie discussed with Lao Yutou last time is a big example!

With so many prescriptions, Yu Lie would not be able to finish them all for a while. He looked at several categories randomly and had a rough understanding of the prescriptions on the shelf. Then he looked at Fang Wu Mu beside him. He said:

"Is there any flesh-and-blood elixir method that is easy to obtain and effective?"

Fang Wumu nodded immediately: "Yes." He also walked to the shelf, touched it with his hands, stopped and clicked on the elixir on the shelf and said:

"This flavor of "Iron Cutting Bone Forging Wine" has the most stable effect. It can be applied externally or taken internally. Drinking one cup a day can ensure that the transformation of copper tendons and iron bones is digested within half a year. However, the medicinal materials are a bit expensive and require Saffron and black flowers, iron-bone sheep testicles, big whips from Liluo tigers, small whips are not acceptable, and you have to use adult Liluo tigers that have been around for thirty years..."

""Argyi Shuihuo Gongji Pills" is made by boiling the sheep's intestines, using secretly condensed goat's milk, pounding it into a glutinous rice-like shape, then pounding it into the body of the argali sheep, raising them in a bitter and cold place to make them falsely pregnant, and taking the pills by caesarean section. Grain by pill. As big as a chicken, take 9981 pills to strengthen your bones!"

""Fish Foam Belly Essence Pill", this elixir needs to be combined with another "Xiu Zihong Wan", a pill that increases Qi and blood. Put the latter into the fish's mouth, make it swallow, and use the fish's saliva , help each other, seven rounds a day, the fish will die."

Fang Wumu talked eloquently, which made Yu Lie put aside his contempt for this person for a while.

This guy actually knew these pill recipes so well that he could compete with the Song Danqing whom Yu Lie met in the Library Pavilion.

Yu Lie listened and handed over his hand at the right time: "Brother Fang is very skilled in business, and I have gained a lot from you."

When Fang Wumu heard this, he tightened the black belt around his eyes proudly and said, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist Yu, Fang has read the original recipes one by one. The various subtleties in them are by no means stick-on A few words on the shelf can be used to describe it. Don’t worry, you asked me the right question!”

Yu Lie raised his eyebrows: "This guy actually read all the prescriptions!"

He first felt envy and jealousy in his heart, and realized that working in the Medicine Hall had many benefits.

Secondly, he stared at the blindfold on Fang Wumu's face, wondering how a blind person could read all the prescriptions.

Fang Wumu pointed at his own eyes and said secretly:

"You may not think that Fang is blind, but he is not really blind. I have a Qibao glazed white crystal dagger. I hold it in front of my eyes and look at things through the dagger. I can barely see.

And if others didn’t think that Fang was blind, how could Fang have read so many original prescriptions, and how could he have stopped others from talking? "

When Yu Lie heard the other party mention the word "叏叇", he immediately realized that the other party was not really blind, but simply had a high degree of myopia or presbyopia.

As for the other half of what he said next, he just laughed.

The master of the medicine prescription hall is Fang Wumu's godfather. He used blindness as an excuse to bypass the rules of the alchemy room. He has already given everyone an explanation. How dare other people be dissatisfied?

However, Yu Lie was secretly wary of this person.

This person really has a backer behind him, but after seeing that Yu Lie is a middle-ranking Taoist boy, he can be arrogant and respectful in front of her, and he also knows how to get close to him. He doesn't look like a "second generation ancestor" with no ambition at all.

Yu Lie secretly said: "The father and son named Fang are definitely not ordinary people and should not be underestimated."

Yu Lie's voice was even more kind: "Excellent, very good, if I can meet Brother Fang today, I will definitely be able to do things easily. I don't know Brother Fang..."

The two chatted familiarly in front of Danfang's shelf.

After half an hour,

Yu Lie held the copied elixirs and prescriptions in his sleeves, and left the darkroom quickly and lightly with a satisfied look on his face.

And Fang Wumu actually walked out of the dark room and sent Yu Lie to the corridor outside the hall.

It wasn't until Yu Lie walked away that Fang Wumu rubbed his chin, turned around and walked back to the hall with his hands behind his back.

………………

That night.

Fang Wumu came to the quiet room. After asking the pretty maid for instructions, he quickly walked into the quiet room and shouted:

"Dad, it's a disaster, it's a disaster!"

Fang Laozheng was sitting cross-legged on a futon, his face flushed, and he was shaking his breath.

As soon as he heard the word "disaster", the old man's eyes widened, his nose snorted, and he motioned to the female attendant next to him to squat down. Then his throat gurgled and he spat a mouthful of old phlegm into the pretty maid's mouth.

The maid covered her mouth, stood up, bowed her head and exited the quiet room.

Fang Lao stood up and asked urgently: "What kind of disaster? Has the secret been leaked?"

Fang Wumu shook his head and immediately told Yu Lie about his promotion to the middle-rank Taoist boy.

When Old Man Fang heard this, his eyes widened again, and he tugged at his beard, feeling both relieved and confused:

"That little guy that day has been promoted to the middle position? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

But realizing that Fang Wumu was his son and could not lie to him, Mr. Fang whispered again: "Wu Mu, what can I do?"

Fang Wumu sighed: "Dad, you shouldn't have acted so arrogantly back then! Fortunately, this son knows what is soft and what is hard. I asked him to get two more elixirs today, and he accepted them. Maybe he can fix them again. relationship."

Seeing his son say this, Mr. Fang's old face froze and he snorted coldly: "If you weren't such a waste, why did I need to offend people back then? I didn't know that he could win the bronze medal. He must have merit!"

The old guy paused and then whispered: "I followed the method you told me that day and was kind to him, but who told him to be ungrateful? In this situation, if I don't be tougher, why should I lose face?"

Fang Wumu's face froze, and he wanted to say something, but he heard Mr. Fang say again:

"My son, the matter has come to an end, don't say any more. In your opinion, how should we repair it? How can we find out the plan?"

The two of them were discussing quietly in the quiet room.

Finally, Mr. Fang asked again:

"I have to rush you into the alchemy room. Without your care, how can the hall operate in secret?

How is the progress of Rendan today? "
