Chapter 243 Eighteen
"There is something to do with something from the top and something to support the bottom." Teng Qing's eyes showed a little shrewdness, "No matter why the great master noticed the tablet of immortality we set up for him, we can be sure of two things. The first great master is not opposed to this matter, and the second thing is good for the great master. We can do something about it."
Teng Xiangdong asked: "What article do you do?"
Teng Qing smiled and said, "Dad, have you been visiting the gentry and elders of Ningqing County these two days? Why not lead to this when you meet them.
The great-grandson quickly calmed down the three major problems of Ningqing County, allowing the people of Ningqing County to live a stable life. Just to make this point, let the people of Ningqing County establish a tablet of immortality for the great-grandson. It is not an exaggeration to let the people of Ningqing County establish a tablet of immortality for the great-grandson.
What's more, the great master has to take so many favorable measures for the people. As long as these measures are implemented one by one, Ningqing County will surely ensure a stable harvest in drought and flood, and have a bumper harvest. Every family is rich and has such a good life ahead, so it should be even more important to have a tablet of immortality for the great master."
Teng Xiangdong nodded repeatedly
Teng Qing continued: "The more tablets of immortality are established for the great master, the better the reputation of the great master's official reputation. Then the great master can become a bigger official and protect more people."
Teng Xiangdong waited for Teng Qing to finish his words and smiled, "Qing'er, after hearing your analysis, this is indeed the case. I really have to remind the gentry and elders of Ningqing County. Not only should they set up a tablet of immortality for the great master, but they should also invest in the construction of the temple for the great master. The great master is a rare good official, a virtuous official, and a living god. If he doesn't build a temple for him, it is simply inconvenient."
Teng Xiangdong didn't know the analysis of the three of them, and he did hit Qin Zhichu's idea a little. Although Qin Zhichu has not yet figured out what the great effect of the Haotian Golden Que has, he can be sure that the Haotian Golden Que must be useful. The more longevity tablets, the better. This may play a decisive role in his future cultivation.
Qin Zhichu didn't know whether Teng Xiangdong could figure it out in the ancestral hall. It was the best idea to figure it out. If he couldn't figure it out, he had to find an opportunity in the future and give him a hint until Teng Xiangdong understood it.
Back in the county government, Qin Zhichu found Guan Zhiwen again and said that he had important things to do. He asked Guan Zhiwen to inform him that unless the sky collapsed, he should not go to the backyard to find him.
After returning to the backyard, Qin Zhichu sent the two male servants who served him to guard the ritual gate and asked them to stop anyone from approaching, Qin Zhichu took out an alchemy furnace and many utensils for alchemy from a storage bag.
This alchemy furnace was bought by Qin Zhichu in Dengzhou since he bought it. He has never used it since he bought it. I don’t know if it is good or not.
When refining alchemy, use fire. In the bamboo house, either wood or bamboo is needed. It is definitely not possible to refine alchemy in the bamboo house. Qin Zhichu could only choose to refine alchemy in the open space outside the bamboo house. Fortunately, the county government is always protected by the Big Dipper Seven Star Formation and is not afraid of any accidents. Ningqing County is a small place and the possibility of encountering accidents is not high.
Qin Zhichu's first alchemy practice was done by himself to be on the safe side. He first used a scale that accurately hit the "money" and weighed all the herbs according to the amount mentioned in the prescription in the "Qiong Shang Alchemy", mixed them together, grind them in a mortar, added water, and stirred them thoroughly, and then poured the juice of the mixed medicine into the alchemy furnace.
This is a relatively basic alchemy method. If it is a good alchemy furnace, it won’t be so troublesome. It’s just that those good alchemy furnaces are almost impossible to buy outside. Even if you encounter them occasionally, it’s probably a sky-high price. Qin Zhichu cannot afford it now
Afterwards, Qin Zhichu found a few low-grade crystals and embedded them on the furnace wall of the alchemy furnace. During the process of alchemy, these low-grade crystals were also needed to provide more spiritual energy for the elixirs. The elixirs refined in this way will have better quality.
What attribute crystals are used is a very particular thing. In order to ensure that the forks are not available, ordinary alchemists are not willing to inlay crystals on the wall of the furnace. However, for Qin Zhichu, there is no need to consider this. The "Double Alchemy Sutra" says it very clearly, just do as long as you do it.
Everything was ready, Qin Zhichu lit the fire, and then began to refine the alchemy according to the steps described in the "Double Alchemy Sutra".
I have to say that alchemy is an extremely test of people. It not only takes a long time, but also tests the patience, care, and meticulousness of the alchemist.
Qin Zhichu was guarding next to the alchemy furnace. In order to ensure the uniform and stable fire, he released the Qingfeng sword and cut the fire into small sections. According to the changes in the fire, the fire fire was constantly increased and decreased.
In a blink of an eye, more than an hour passed, and the fragrance of medicine gradually began to float out of the alchemy furnace. This is a sign that the medicine juice began to condense into a elixir after it was refined.
But before Qin Zhichu got happy, a scent of mucus suddenly appeared in the fragrance of medicine. He didn't care at first, but soon the mucus smell became stronger and stronger. He quickly pulled the firewood under the alchemy furnace. After the furnace cooled down, he turned on the alchemy furnace and saw that the medicine juice inside had already turned into a ball.
Qin Zhichu had no choice but to clean the alchemy furnace, prepare another medicinal material, grind it, mix the medicine juice, pour it into the alchemy furnace, and make a fire. Then another boring alchemy began.
In this way, Qin Zhichu continued to compare the records of "Double Alchemy" and summarized his experience of failure again and again, and started the furnace and refined the alchemy again and again. After more than a dozen failures, he finally successfully refined the first furnace of elixir.
At the moment when the elixir was formed, the strong elixir fragrance spread, making Qin Zhichu feel intoxicated. He quickly removed the fire below the elixir furnace, stacked a large piece of thick cloth on the elixir cover, and opened the elixir. In the furnace of the elixir, there was a round pink elixir with a pearl-like color. This elixir was about the size of a peanut, which was very attractive.
Qin Zhichu took out the pill with a jade clip and placed it in a jade box that had been prepared long ago. This ensures that the pill's fragrance will not dissipate for a long time and the medicinal power can be condensed for a longer time.
The pill was made, but I don’t know how effective the medicine was. Qin Zhichu tried hard to compare the shape, size, color, intensity of the pill he refined, and other indicators, and compared it with the records in the "Qiongshang Pill Classic". Finally, it was confirmed that the pill he refined could only be said to be a medium-grade or lower elixir among the same pill.
But no matter what, I finally successfully refined one with the first successful experience. Qin Zhichu's confidence soared and he began to refine the next furnace of elixirs.
However, this is destined to be a failure--try again----the process of failure----the process of failure----only one can successfully refine the elixir
This process lasted for more than half a month. In about twenty days, Qin Zhichu refines a total of 163 furnaces of elixirs, and in the end he succeeded only eighteen furnaces, which means that only eighteen elixirs were refined. On average, less than ten furnaces could succeed once
In other words, Qin Zhichu also felt that as he refines the number of times he refines the alchemy, it seems that there is a tendency to be more and more between the two successful alchemys. Maybe he keeps practicing like this, and maybe he can reach the point where every furnace is successful.
But this is destined to be unfulfilled at this stage. The three spiritual medicines that Qin Zhichu got from Danxia Mountain have been used up. He has no medicine to refine them even if he wants to.
Qin Zhichu took advantage of the time when the alchemy furnace was cooling down and counted the eighteen elixirs. According to the standards of "Double Alchemy", there were five low-grade elixirs, twelve medium-grade elixirs, and two high-grade elixirs. Only one of the two high-grade elixirs is the unquestionable top-grade elixir, and the other one is barely enough to say that it is a medium-grade top-grade elixir.
Qin Zhichu believed in the "Double Alchemy Classic", but he thought he had to witness the efficacy of this elixir with his own eyes to determine how to price this elixir. He also hoped to exchange this elixir for a large sum of money.
Qin Zhichu cleaned up the things, asked the two male servants to get him a large bucket of hot water, took a comfortable bath, changed into clean clothes, and went to the front yard of the county government.
I heard that Qin Zhichu had left the seclusion, Guan Zhiwen, Gong Xiuzhen, Yan Ning and others all came to see him. Xi Yisong led the regiment training outside to suppress bandits, and the Kanto God Beggar was outside to inquire about the information, but he couldn't come.
Yan Ning rubbed his hands, his eyes shining, "Grandmaster, what elixir have you been practicing in Houya for more than half a month? The smell is really good and I can drink a pound of wine just by smelling the fragrance of medicine."
Qin Zhichu smiled and said, "Didn't you say it? Of course it's an immortal pill. What exactly is it? Let me keep me from selling it. You will know in two days. There is nothing wrong with the county government in the past few days, right?"
Everyone looked at Guan Zhiwen together. Although Guan Zhiwen was just a clerk, everyone knew that Qin Zhichu actually handed over the entire Ningqing County government office to him. In such an occasion, Guan Zhiwen had to report it.
"Dongweng, all the affairs of the county are progressing smoothly. The people live and work in peace, the market is booming, and the bandit suppression is progressing smoothly. All projects are proceeding in an orderly manner. There are only two problems. One is that we don’t have much money anymore. According to the current consumption rate, it can last about two months." Guan Zhiwenhui reported
"Don't worry about the money, you'll soon get a lot of money to be recorded in Brother Guan. What's the second question?" Qin Zhichu asked without much care.
Guan Zhiwen looked worried, "Dongweng, please allow me to report to you privately for this second question."
