Chapter 137: First Try At Alchemy
🕑 Added 2025-03-15 10:02:01 +0000 UTCAfter condensing the poison pill, Dugu Bo adjusted himself to the situation, asked Sun Zhongjing some questions, and then left impatiently to find his granddaughter.
Now that he, as a grandfather, has completely controlled the poison in his body, it is natural that his granddaughter’s matter should be put on the agenda as soon as possible. After all, she is still young, and the sooner she can condense the poison pill, the greater the benefit to herself. He can’t wait to teach his granddaughter the method of making the poison pill.
Sun Zhongjing did not leave with them. He wanted to stay here to collect some immortal herbs and set up some protection around the mountains of Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to prevent a certain Tang with great luck from coming in and destroying the immortal herbs here.
It must be said that the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is really a rare treasure. The immortal herbs contained there are definitely more than those that Tang San picked in the original novel. In addition to the immortal herbs, there are also many extremely old medicinal herbs. In fact, if used properly, their effects are definitely not inferior to the immortal herbs. For example, there are a lot of 10,000-year-old ginseng and 10,000-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in this place.
Sun Zhongjing was so happy that he took out his character’s storage ring and kept harvesting the herbs and herbs that were ripe for picking. He didn’t get angry with Dugu Bo at all. Anyway, the method of making poison pills alone was enough to make up for everything in Dugu Bo’s opinion.
Of course, Sun Zhongjing was not such a greedy person. After collecting these immortal herbs and refining the best elixir, he would definitely not treat Dugu Bo unfairly. He would never be like Tang San in the original novel who was stingy and only cared about his own enjoyment. He didn’t even pick a single immortal herb for the old man.
He harvested all the useful immortal herbs and rare medicinal herbs around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Of course, he left the roots, which would grow again after hundreds or thousands of years.
Sun Zhongjing did not prepare any special jade box, but directly put it into his own storage props, because the time and space inside this prop is stopped, and anything that is put in will remain the same when it comes out. It has an unparalleled preservation function. Except that it cannot hold living things, it is simply perfect.
After he had scraped the ground three feet deep and harvested all the medicinal herbs and magical herbs growing around, he finally stopped with satisfaction.
The herbs collected now are enough to produce a large number of potions or pills for cultivating talents.
At this time, the entire medicinal garden looked the same as before, except for the lack of a large area of herbs. After all, he did not touch some of the younger herbs. He only picked some herbs that had matured to the limit. He also left the roots in place. In this state, the herbs would grow back much faster than in the seed state.
After some time.
Dugu Bo brought his granddaughter Dugu Yan back here and saw the scene of the herb garden after it was harvested, but he didn’t care. After all, in his mind, the herbs in the garden were completely incomparable to the poison pill method. Since the master wanted them, just pick them. Even if the whole herb garden was given to him, it would not be a problem at all.
At this time, Sun Zhongjing was sitting on a flattened bluestone. In front of him was a large tripod with a lid on it. Mist was constantly flowing out of the vent holes...
A faint medicinal fragrance filled the air.
After Dugu Bo flew down from the top of the mountain with his granddaughter Dugu Yan, they did not make any noise to disturb them, but just watched Sun Zhongjing quietly from the side.
At this moment, he had his eyes tightly closed, his hands pressed on both sides of the cauldron, and nine bloody soul rings around his body kept shining… At the same time, the sound of liquid rolling could be heard coming from the cauldron.
The medicinal fragrance that permeated the surroundings became stronger and stronger, and gradually… transformed into another unique scent!
Finally, after about two hours.
Sun Zhongjing, who had his eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened them, and then clapped his hands. The cauldron shook violently, and the lid flew up into the air. Six objects shining with light blue light flew out of the cauldron, and then fell directly into the six jade bottles that had been prepared on the side…
Sun Zhongjing flicked his sleeves, and the corks placed next to him flew up automatically, blocking the mouths of the jade bottles… and six bottles of pills were completed.
At this point, he heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that refining these pills just now had taken a lot of effort.
“Master.” Seeing this, Dugu Bo stepped forward and called out.
“Oh, I’m back.”
It seemed that Sun Zhongjing had just noticed the two of them. It seemed that he was really devoted to refining the elixir and had reached a state of selflessness.
“Yanyan, call someone quickly.” Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter beside him and said.
“Hello, Grandpa Sect Leader.”
Dugu Yan stepped forward and called sweetly.
Before coming here, Dugu Bo had already told her the whole story. Therefore, Dugu Yan naturally knew that the person in front of her could be said to be the “master” of both of them.
“Well, your name is Yanyan, right? You are such a well-behaved child.” Sun Zhongjing looked at Duguyan in front of him, stroked his long beard, and then said with a smile: “Grandpa happened to have refined some elixirs, so I’ll give you a bottle as a gift.”
After saying that, one of the six bottles of elixir next to him automatically floated up and came in front of Dugu Yan.
“…”
Dugu Yan didn’t know whether she should take it or not, so she had to turn around and look at her grandfather.
“Yanyan, since it’s given to you by the sect leader, take it.” Dugu Bo said with a smile.
“Thank you, Grandpa Sect Master.”
Only then did Dugu Yan reach out and take the medicine bottle.
“Master, I wonder what the effect of this pill is?” Dugu Bo asked.
“This elixir is made by me with immortal grass as the main ingredient and other herbs as the supplement. As for its efficacy…” Sun Zhongjing said here, leaving the question unanswered, “Why not let Yanyan take it, and you will know.”
After hearing what he said, Dugu Bo immediately realized that this elixir was definitely not simple. It was probably some kind of elixir that could strengthen the body and have great benefits for the body. Then why hesitate? Just take it.
So Duguyan pulled out the cork, but surprisingly, there was no medicinal fragrance from the bottle. She poured out the pills and found that the pills that had been shining brightly had become ordinary. It seemed to be just an ordinary pill.
Dugu Bo recognized it at a glance. This was caused by the extremely restrained medicinal power, so that the medicinal fragrance would not leak out at all.
Duguyan, who was sitting cross-legged, swallowed the pill and felt it melt in her mouth. A cool liquid flowed through her body. She subconsciously closed her eyes and began to use her soul power to digest the power of the medicine…
Dugu Bo watched nervously. Even though he had 100% faith in Sun Zhongjing, he was naturally a little nervous when it came to his only granddaughter, fearing that something unexpected would happen. This was human nature.
Wait until some time has passed.
Dugu Yan opened her eyes again, with some confusion in her eyes. She did not find any improvement in her soul power, but it seemed that there were some changes in other places.
“Summon the spirit and see.”
Sun Zhongjing saw her confusion, stroked his long beard, and said with a smile.
