Uncle-Master, Please Help Us

Seeing that he really didn't understand, the old man shook his head and looked over suspiciously: "Picking medicine is the easiest part of refining medicine. According to the principle, as long as you study, you won't make this kind of mistake. I wonder who is my teacher? Didn't tell you about these things?"

"Teacher?" Su Yin scratched her head, "It's just an unknown little person!"

The remnant who taught him medicine is called Li Shiyu, and the name marked on the tombstone is "Medicine Saint", which was very strange at the time. I asked "Brother Cheap" specifically, and checked a lot of information. There is no one with this name in the entire mainland. , not to mention the title and profession of Medicine Sage... So, without thinking about it, it is known that the descendants of Libei wrote it for the sake of flattery.

Besides, if he was really a medicine sage, would he teach alchemy? Don't teach how to cure diseases and save lives, but only how to treat sows? In his opinion, even if this guy is proficient in pharmacology, he is at most a veterinarian, and it is better not to say it than to be ashamed.

"That's right, how could a well-known pharmacist let his juniors collect medicine without explaining the rules!"

Shaking his head, the old man put his hands behind his back, with a taste of teaching: "Since you don't understand, let me explain to you!"

"Yes!" Su Yin nodded with a humble expression.

Seeing his appearance, the old man was very satisfied, and said with a strand of beard: "Hanyang grass, the roots grow in cold places, but the flowers live in the scorching sun. A medicinal herb combines the two attributes of yin and yang. So pick it You must pay attention when using it, otherwise, once the roots leave the soil and the source of the cold air is gone, the yang attribute will gain the upper hand and neutralize in twos, resulting in a sharp drop in medicinal properties!"

Su Yin was stunned, with doubts at the same time: "Since the two forces of cold and heat will merge when the roots leave the ground, can't we just find a way to block them when picking?"

"ignorance!"

Flicking his sleeves, the old man looked displeased: "The properties of medicinal materials are ever-changing. Years, sunshine, nutrition, moisture... can all affect them, blocking the communication of yin and yang. How to find the dividing line clearly and make the best block without picking it? You must know that if you fail, it will be tantamount to destroying a plant of medicinal material, and all previous efforts will be wasted!"

"This..." Su Yin was stunned.

The two attributes of yin and yang are so obvious, even if they are hidden inside the medicinal materials, they should be easy to distinguish!

With this method, he can be 100% correct in the first assessment, and there will be no mistakes. How can it be difficult to listen to the other party?

"The correct way is to wait here until noon, when the yang energy is at its strongest and the yin qi is the weakest, tie the red string to the dividing line between the sun and the shade of the medicinal materials, and wait until midnight, when the yang energy is the weakest, tie the red string at the red string cut off!"

The old man said: "In this way, the two attributes of yin and yang will not blend, and it is better to preserve the two attributes!"

"It's so troublesome!" I didn't expect to have to wait for 6 hours to pick a medicinal herb. Su Yin shook her head and asked, "If you can find the intersection of Yin and Yang and block it, it's okay to pick it directly?"

"That's the theory, but...it's too difficult!" The old man shook his head: "As a whole, medicinal materials have two attributes of yin and yang that are interlinked. If you don't cut it, how can you find it! Once you cut it, it will destroy it." The medicinal properties have fallen short..."

"It's not that exaggerated!"

Shaking her head, Su Yin took a deep breath and sniffed it with her nose: "The intersection of yin and yang in this grass is here..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his fingers, squeezed lightly, and pulled out the cold sun grass.

"you……"

Unexpectedly, after talking so much, this young man would directly collect the medicine. The old man's face turned red with anger, and just as he was about to reprimand him, his pupils suddenly constricted, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"How can this be?"

Cold sun grass, once the yin and yang meet, the flowers will immediately lose their bright colors, the fiery red parts will turn gray, and the white parts will be slightly dim... This young man didn't even look at it, picking it casually, thinking that the flowers would decay immediately , I didn’t even dream about it, it’s still extremely bright, it’s no different from growing on the ground!

In other words... not only did he find the right place where yin and yang blend, but he actually blocked it!

How did you do it?

Even if he has been immersed in refining medicine for hundreds of years, he still can't complete it!

"It's very simple..." Seeing his fuss, Su Yin shook her head.

"Simple?"

The veins were throbbing on his forehead. Thinking of something, the old man hurriedly put down his carrying basket, flipped through it, and took out a green medicinal plant: "Among this medicinal plant, there is a medicinal property that can soothe the nerves. Can you find it?" ?”

"This is Anshen grass, right? On this leaf, if you cut it off from here, you can retain 70% of the medicinal properties of the whole plant!"

Su Yin casually drew a range on the leaves.

Suspicious, the old man took out the blade and cut off the leaf according to the direction the other party told him, and then chewed it in his mouth, his face immediately turned pale.

Exactly!

The medicinal properties of medicinal materials, along with the growth of plants, are not evenly distributed, just like the content of human body, fat and muscle, are also uneven.

Because of this, when refining alchemy, even if you know that the slightest deviation in the ratio of medicinal properties will affect the quality of the medicinal pill, but... no one can determine which part of a medicinal material has more medicinal properties, and how much does it contain? How many.

Can't be 100% accurate.

But... the young man in front of him casually mentioned the place where the medicinal properties of this tranquilizing herb are concentrated, and even said the exact quantity...

This is a bit scary! Seeing it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe it.

"What about this plant?"

Resisting the excitement, Su Yin took out a few more herbs. Su Yin sniffed them lightly, and quickly explained the properties of the medicine, where they were distributed, and how much they accounted for.

Chop up all the medicinal materials the other party said, and chew them carefully... The old man soon discovered that it was exactly the same as what the other party said!

In other words, this young man can easily tell the amount and distribution of medicinal properties without destroying the medicinal materials themselves with just one glance!

"You..." Couldn't help it any longer, the old man looked over with a trembling look: "Are you naturally close to medicinal materials? Can you feel the distribution of medicinal properties?"

Legend has it that some people are naturally sensitive to medicinal materials, and he can easily distinguish medicinal properties that others cannot distinguish. This person in front of him must have such a talent!

"of course not……"

Unexpectedly, he would think this way, Su Yin shook her head: "There is no free lunch in the world, how can you have the ability to get it for nothing without hard work? I couldn't tell the difference at the beginning, and it took hard work to achieve it." this point."

"Work hard? That's right! No matter how talented you are, you definitely need to learn."

With a concentrated expression, the old man nodded, with curiosity in his eyes: "Seeing that you are not very old, how long did it take from the beginning of learning to easily distinguishing the distribution of medicinal properties...?"

"My talent is average..." After recalling it, Su Yin showed bitterness on his face: "About ten days!"

"Ten days?"

The old man froze in place.

Are you sure you are right, not ten years?
