Longevity starts with learning

"The most important thing is to remove the negative effects of the medicinal power, so that the prescription can be used once a day, or even more than once a day..."

"...Then...then...the improvement and enhancement of the medicinal properties..."

It was late at night, and the candlelight in the room was still flickering. Chu Mu was concentrating on studying the prescription in his mind.

After several months of study and huge "Spiritual Brilliance Value" investment, Chu Mu's theoretical knowledge was very abundant.

With the support of abundant theoretical knowledge, he had many ideas.

A prescription, whether it is to cure diseases and save lives, or to assist in cultivation, is like governing a country and using troops, and there is a basic fixed plan.

The so-called monarch, minister, assistant, and messenger are the basic components of a prescription.

The monarch is also called the master, and the minister is also called the assistant, so it is also called the master, assistant, and messenger.

That is, the main medicine, the auxiliary medicine, the auxiliary medicine, and the messenger!

The most important thing in determining the prescription is naturally to determine the main medicine.

The so-called main medicine, as the name suggests, is the medicinal material that plays a major role in curing diseases and saving lives, or assisting in cultivation.

The auxiliary medicine also has a literal meaning, that is, to assist the main medicine and make up for the deficiency of the main medicine.

The auxiliary medicine, first, is to assist, to assist the main medicine and auxiliary medicine to strengthen the medicinal properties, second, to eliminate or reduce the toxicity or strongness of the main medicine and auxiliary medicine, and third, to use medicines that are opposite to the medicinal properties of the main medicine but can complement each other according to needs.

The main function of the auxiliary medicine is to reconcile the medicinal effects of the main, auxiliary, and auxiliary medicines, so that their medicinal properties form a synergy and make the final medicinal properties of the prescription more perfect.

What Chu Mu has to do now is to prescribe the right medicine!

This disease is undoubtedly very certain, it is simply to assist the cultivation of qi and blood!

What is the key to the cultivation of qi and blood?

It is essence!

Where does essence come from? Grains, vegetables, meat, warm and tonic herbs...

The main medicine is easy to choose, because the "symptom" of essence almost locks the scope of the main medicine.

It was nothing more than nourishing herbs, and he couldn't get the "spiritual medicine" that had exceeded the growth period, so he could only choose ordinary nourishing herbs as the main medicine.

The original prescriptions in the Body Forging Technique were ordinary, but the main medicines within a limited range were obviously not wrong.

What Chu Mu had to do was to choose and experiment in the three directions of auxiliary, adjuvant, and messenger, and select and improve a closer to perfect combination.

"Removed the original three auxiliary herbs and two messenger herbs, and changed them to Zhengyang grass and Qingning ginseng..."

About a quarter of an hour later, the centimeter scale was put down. Chu Mu held the palm-sized medicine bag in his hand, frowned slightly, walked to the stove, untied the medicine bag, and poured all the herbs into the medicine pot.

One spoonful of water, simmered slowly.

Chu Mu sat cross-legged in front of the medicine stove, carefully controlling the temperature in the stove. According to the medical book, thick-flavored nourishing herbs should be simmered slowly over a slow fire to maximize their medicinal effects.

And if there are highly toxic drugs in the prescription, they also need to be slowly boiled over low heat to reduce or eliminate the toxicity.

And there is a highly toxic drug in the prescription that Chu Mu improved!

Using highly toxic drugs to assist the medicinal properties is not a radical move in the use of drugs. Practicing medicine to save lives, especially emergency treatment, often requires the combination of strange and regular medicines.

And this strange is often poison, but if the poison is used well, its effect is often much stronger than the regular medicine.

"Boil it over low heat for a quarter, turn to high heat and cook it for half a quarter of an hour..."

Chu Mu moved the firewood in the stove, and his eyes looked at the hourglass on the side from time to time. There is no standard answer for this boiling time.

Strictly speaking, the boiling method and time of each prescription, whether it is for practicing medicine or for assisting cultivation, are different, and need to be determined according to the medicinal materials in the prescription.

However, unless there are necessary factors, such as poison or emergency treatment, otherwise, the boiling temperature will generally not be so fine.

After all, for ordinary people, whether the medicinal properties are perfectly exerted does not affect too much.

"The temperature control of the fire is also too vague..."

"If..."

Looking at the flickering flames in the furnace, Chu Mu couldn't help but think of the legendary world of immortal cultivation. If he entered the immortal path, could he achieve such control?

Is the legendary alchemy a higher level of knowing people and medicine?

With his imagination running wild, the stick in his hand moved unconsciously to control the temperature.

"Hu..."

A quarter of an hour later, the blowpipe was in his hand, accompanied by a big blow, the airflow went straight into the stove along the blowpipe, and the originally small flame also spread under the blowing of the airflow.

The more intense the flames, the more intense the medicinal fragrance in the room, and the steaming hot air lingered in front of Chu Mu. At this moment, he seemed to have no perception and stared at the flames in the furnace.

"It's OK!"

When the time was up, Chu Mu decisively removed most of the firewood in the furnace, leaving only some burning charcoal fire to maintain the residual temperature.

The medicine jar was opened, and the strong aroma of medicine filled his nose. In a faint moment, Chu Mu felt a sense of restlessness.

The thin layer of medicine juice at the bottom of the medicine jar was clearly visible. He took out the medicine spoon, scooped out a spoonful and poured it into the porcelain bowl that had been prepared long ago.

The medicine juice was slightly viscous, dark brown in color, and looked crystal clear.

Chu Mu pondered for a moment, dipped a little medicine juice with chopsticks, and put it into his mouth to taste it.

It tasted astringent at first, but then turned sweet.

It was no different from the taste he expected.

"Linghui!"

He silently chanted in his heart, "Linghui blessing" while swallowing the medicine juice.

In an instant, the blood and qi circulated, protecting the internal organs that the medicine liquid was about to flow into.

At the same time, the perception in the dark also locked the medicinal properties emitted after the medicine juice entered the body.

Although the pharmacy uses highly toxic substances as auxiliary medicines, the main and auxiliary medicines are all matched based on evidence.

According to Chu Mu's expectations, the efficacy of the medicine may vary, but the fundamental purpose of assisting the cultivation of qi and blood is unlikely to be wrong.

If it is wrong, it can only prove that the improvement of this prescription is fundamentally wrong, and he needs to think carefully about whether his hard work during this period has gone in the wrong direction.

After a while, Chu Mu suddenly groaned, opened his slightly closed eyes, and the medicine that had already entered his stomach was spit out from his mouth at this moment.

"The medicinal properties are nourishing and the direction is correct. The overall medicinal properties are about one-tenth higher than those of the original prescription..."

"The toxicity treatment is not as expected, and the possibility of boiling can be ruled out. The problem should be in the combination of medicinal materials. If used, the interval time may be longer than the original prescription..."

"The medicinal properties are not stable and will cause palpitations-like pressure on the heart. The cause is unknown and needs to be investigated..."

"The main medicine may be changed. Ginseng is mild, but it does not match the strange way, or it may need to be changed..."

...

The pen strokes, and lines of handwriting appear on the paper. There are problems that Chu Mu can confirm, and there are unknown guesses.

A piece of paper is filled, but the pen strokes do not stop. Change a piece of paper, and the pen strokes are still swaying.

In the end, the pen strokes fell on five pieces of white paper before it was put down.

There are many problems, almost beyond his original expectation of making bad plans, but looking at these full of problems, Chu Mu's uncertain heart has also settled down.

Don't be afraid of many problems. If there are problems, just find a way to solve them.

The most frightening thing is that he can't find the problem at all.
