Li Huowang carefully looked at the small alchemy furnace in front of him, and there were three incense sticks standing beside it for timekeeping.
In this environment without an alarm clock, Li Huowang could only rely on this crude method to calculate time.
When the last incense stick burned out completely, he immediately extinguished the fire and opened the door of the alchemy furnace. A smell mixed with the aroma of strange herbs floated out from inside.
Li Huowang was delighted, and he had succeeded. The refined alchemy materials were constantly shaken in a sieve. When all the useless ash residues were sieved out, there were only some large and small black pills left in the box.
These pills are the blood-moistening pills mentioned by Dan Yangzi. This is a very simple pill that is used to stop bleeding.
You cannot take more than one or two at a time, otherwise there will be a risk of complete coagulation of blood throughout the body.
It sounds useless, and it may be better to use it to harm people than to treat people.
But because this pill is the simplest, Dan Yangzi gave it to Li Huowang to practice.
After counting carefully, Li Huowang finally obtained thirteen large blood-moistening pills and twenty-six small blood-moistening pills.
Li Huowang's gains were not only these, but also through the process of refining blood-moistening pills, he also learned some basic knowledge of alchemy.
Alchemy was much more difficult than he imagined. In addition to the difference in time, even herbs with different growth directions had to be carefully distinguished.
As long as one step was wrong, the efficacy and success rate of the pill would be very different, and the pile of charred waste next to it was proof of that.
Li Huowang took out a small bamboo tube and put all the pills in it. Then he took a deep breath, put on the Taoist robe beside him and walked out the door. "It's almost time, the midnight is coming."
When Li Huowang stretched out his hand to push open the door of the material room, all the people who were working stood up in unison and looked at him in horror.
Now he was a living Hades in the eyes of others
Li Huowang looked at them with a complicated expression, walked past them under the gaze of everyone, and finally came to Bai Lingmiao.
The girl's white hair trembled along with her body. She tried to hold back her tears, but she couldn't help it. Tears flowed from the pale pink pupils of her albinos.
Li Huowang, with a solemn expression, reached out and held her hand, and left the material room and walked towards the alchemy room.
In the wet cave tunnel, Bai Lingmiao choked up and told Li Huowang his last words.
Li Huowang listened silently without saying anything. When he came to the door of his residence, he turned around and pulled her into the house. "Take off your pants."
Bai Lingmiao's eyes were wide open and she froze in place, as if she was frightened by the other party's actions.
Three quarters before midnight, Li Huowang brought Bai Lingmiao to the alchemy room, and Dan Yangzi had just arrived at this time.
When he saw that Li Huowang had brought the medicine in advance without his instructions, Dan Yangzi's face showed a trace of satisfaction, and he looked at the youngest disciple a little more pleasing to the eye.
"Haha, good disciple, come here." With Danyangzi's casual call, Bai Lingmiao flew over directly, was grabbed by the neck and thrown into the stone urn of the man.
Li Huowang's heart pounded when he saw this scene, and his hands clenched.
When Danyangzi saw that the stone stick weighing hundreds of kilograms was about to smash down, Danyangzi suddenly stopped.
"Hey, why did you have blood at this time? Now the medicinal properties have changed completely." Danyangzi frowned and looked at Bai Lingmiao's pants that were oozing blood.
Li Huowang was relieved when he saw this scene. His plan was successful.
When Li Huowang understood what was going on in this world's alchemy, he found a way to break the deadlock.
Since the medicinal properties of other metals, stones, plants and trees are so changeable, then human medicine will also change.
And in his impression, in Taoism, women's blood is something dirty, and letting Bai Lingmiao pretend to have menstruation is his way of dealing with it.
In order to avoid suspicion, this kind of thing cannot be told to others, and Dan Yangzi must find it out himself.
Now it seems that his goal has been achieved, and Bai Lingmiao's life has been saved.
Dan Yangzi waved his wide Taoist robe, and Bai Lingmiao in the stone jar flew out directly and fell heavily to the ground.
This fall was very heavy, and Bai Lingmiao took a long time to get up, holding his knees, but Li Huowang could not help, he could only watch coldly from the side.
"Xuan Yang, take the materials here back." Hearing Dan Yangzi say this, Li Huowang was completely relieved, and saluted Dan Yangzi respectfully, "Yes, Master."
When Bai Lingmiao walked to his side, Li Huowang found that the other party's head seemed to be broken, and bright red blood flowed down her cheek.
Even so, Bai Lingmiao still expressed gratitude to Li Huowang. In the face of death, this little sin was nothing.
"Anyway, we finally got through this. It will probably take a long time for Bai Lingmiao to take the turn next time." Li Huowang led Bai Lingmiao out the door.
But just as they were about to walk out of the huge shadow of the furnace, Dan Yangzi's words came from behind.
"Xuan Yang, since this medicine guide doesn't work, go and bring another one. I remember there is another white medicine guide. Go and come back quickly, don't miss the time."
This made Li Huowang's body tremble slightly, and then he turned around and saluted Dan Yangzi again respectfully. "Yes, Master."
Li Huowang didn't know how he got to the material room. He could only numbly walk to another albino man and reach out to pull him out.
The other party was crying in despair, kneeling on the ground and kowtowed to him for mercy. But Li Huowang couldn't do anything at this time. He could only send this man to the alchemy room in person.
His cries came to an abrupt end under Dan Yangzi's pounding stick, and the faint white smoke with a strong fragrance rose to the medicine room, covering the stalactites above with a thick layer of human oil.
The trembling Li Huowang turned around and was about to leave when he was stopped by Dan Yangzi, "Don't you yearn for the way of alchemy? Come here and take a closer look. Such a complex and rare medicine can't be made anywhere else."
Li Huowang walked over, watched carefully, and listened to Dan Yangzi talking about when to put what ingredients and when to add how big the fire should be. Just like a studious child observing the entire process of alchemy.
When the flame under the alchemy furnace went out, the alchemy furnace was opened, and seven black pills that had already grown into a body lined up in front of Dan Yangzi.
"Not bad, not bad, you are very talented, other disciples are not as studious as you, come, the master will reward you." Dan Yangzi took out a pill from his palm and placed it in front of Li Huowang.
"Thank you, Master, for the medicine!" Li Huowang bowed solemnly to Dan Yangzi, then with trembling hands he held the pill, put it into his mouth and swallowed it.
