Chapter 349: Drug Testing (1/2)
Zhi Mu didn't take Yuan Zhan seriously when he heard that he could help him modify his prescription. He has never heard that the Longevity Maple Tribe who are good at refining drugs, and their people don't need it at all.
What's more, how easy is it to modify prescriptions? He spent half his life studying this, and only now has he come up with three effective prescriptions. These three prescriptions have made him step by step from the lower servant to the position of the junior priest. Although it is still the lower level of the priesthood, it is undeniable that this is a leap forward.
So although Yuan Zhan promised to give him a prescription in five days, he almost forgot about it.
Until Yuan Zhan knocked at his door and delivered the prescription.
”Chinese foxglove, Mondo gra.s.s, Tiger lily, Yellow fir, Soft rush... You have all these herbs, don't you?” Yuan Zhan went straight into the subject.
Zhi Mu was stunned. ”What is Mondo gra.s.s and Soft rush?”
Yan Mo told Yuan Zhan, ”He has all these herbs, but they are called differently. If you ask him to open the medicine cabinet, I will show you directly, that Mondo gra.s.s is in his plantation.”
Yuan Zhan reproduced. Zhi Mu doesn't look like he's playing with him. Out of his thirst for intermediate level prescriptions, he grinds his teeth and opened the medicine cabinet that he cares about most and most preciously.
Yuan Zhan found the herbs he needed through Yan Mo. ”Mondo gra.s.s, you have it in your plantation, and you need to deal with it before you can make medicine. What is your unit of weight? ”
”Component unit?”Zhi Mu could not understand the word at all.
”How do you usually calculate the amount of herbs you need?”
”Well, a little, a dash, a nail cap, one or two pinches, a piece or two, a handful... And so on.” When Zhi Mu looked at Yuan Zhan's expression, he suddenly felt stupid. It was obvious that everyone calculated the weight in this way.
”It's all about feeling and experience?”Yuan Zhan frowned, with a fierce face that he didn't know.
”Yes.” Zhi Mu shivered and did not know that his att.i.tude became cautious, just as he saw advanced level priest imparting knowledge.
Yan Mo decided to impart the concept of scale to Zhi Mu. It doesn't matter if it spreads in the future, it can just give him some Sc.u.m VALUE. But out of his natural selfishness, he did not intend to teach Bai to anyone other than the Jiu Yuan.
”Zhan, I taught you how to make the medicine scale. You've learned it before. It's very simple. Even if you forget it, I'll tell you twice that you should be able to remember it. When you're done, don't give the scale to Zhi Mu. Help him to weigh all the herbs according to what I said.”
”You want me to control the weight of his prescription?”Yuan Zhan praised. ”Well, then he can't help giving me yuan-crystal coins. When he gives them, we'll tell him the correct weight.”
Yan Mo laughed, he didn't mean that, but the purpose is similar. ”You take a 7th rank yuan-crystal coins for the prescription, and the scale counts separately. If he wants to learn, teach him as long as you think the price is right, and...”
Yan Mo moved in his heart and said with a little attempt, ”You should engrave my name on the scale and tell him to p.r.o.nounce it. Tell him that every day before using the scale, he has to say - I have to thank the manufacturer Mo DRen- he has to recite my name and thank me. If he pa.s.ses on the method of making the scale to others, he must engrave my name on those scales.
Yuan Zhan nodded. “That's what it should be. The scale does this, so does the prescription. He will thank you every time he makes this medicine in the future.
”Hha, good!” Yan Mo wants to see if it is possible to increase the number of faith points. In the case of limited energy, whether he can recover ahead of time may depend on the number of faith points.
Zhi Mu finally knew the complete formula. He was afraid of forgetting it. He used talc to record the name of the herbal medicine and its components on the stone.
After carefully studying the modified formula, Zhi Mu subconsciously felt that it was feasible, at least the drug properties of the various drugs did not seem to be the same. And the herbs and stones used in this prescription, he knows and has also dealt with, not afraid of being unfamiliar and failing to operate it halfway.
Later, Yuan Zhan made the medicine scale. After several times using it in front of Zhi Mu, Zhi Mu naturally realized the benefits and wonderful significance of this thing and looked at the medicine scale eagerly. It's a great thing to use! Especially for the drug refining priests.
Perhaps the impact of the scale on Zhi Mu was so great that he was somewhat distracted during the process of refining prescriptions. Yuan Zhan picked out a little black ash and threw it into the powder he was grinding and mixing. He didn't notice.
Yan Mo saw the weight was too small and suggested, ”Would you like to add a little more?”
Yuan Zhan categorically vetoed: ”No.”
Yan Mo: ”... That's clearly my skin and flesh.”
Yuan Zhan: ”It's mine when it falls down. You cannot accept your own droppings.”
Yan Mo: You cow, wait till I recover and see how I will settle the score with you kid!
Zhi Mu is a professional at the same time, although the medium-term treatment is a little small, but after the later stage of cooking, he becomes engrossed.
In the manufacture of medicines, boiling is the most difficult process. We should not only pay attention to the temperature and fire, but also put all kinds of medicines into one by one according to the law of primary and secondary generation and mutual restraint, and the boiling time sequence of various medicinal stones.
This process should not be bungled up at all. Otherwise, the lightness of the process will greatly reduce the drug's properties and achieve less the desired effect, and the heaviness of the process will directly lead to the failure of refining.
Yan Mo is very interested in this world's refinery-related methods, to see that Zhi Mu did not drive them away, so he stayed.
He has been observing the movements of Zhi Mu through the eyes of Yuan Zhan, and with the understanding of some time ago, he found that people here basically do not drink soup, they are more popular with pills, powder and ointment, especially the pill that is easy to swallow, and the main point of healing trauma is powder.
In the process of refining drug refining processs, the most important thing for a drug refining priest is to stimulate the medicinal properties of the herbs he needs.
That's what the Curse-Witch Zhou Wu taught him before, but it's impossible to see how a refiner is going to activate a drug, let alone what kind of drug it is.
Usually an herb has many medicinal properties, such as the Mondo gra.s.s. It has the functions of strengthening heart, lowering blood sugar, enhancing immunity, and also has the functions of antimicrobial, ant.i.tussive, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor. But in this prescription, the drug refining priest only needs to strengthen his heart and enhance his immunity, so when he stimulates it, he only needs to stimulate the drug in this respect.
This kind of thing is simple to say, but it is not easy to do. It involves the precise grasp of the medicinal properties of herbs by the drug refining priest. How to grasp the medicinal properties of an herb depends entirely on the intuition of the drug refining priest, that is, soul communication. Therefore, drug refining priests usually pay more attention to spiritual exercise and improvement.
”Zhan, I suddenly felt that the occupation of the priest was almost tailored to me.” Yan Mo sighed.
”Oh?”Yuan Zhan was not interested in refining medicine. He was bored with mud b.a.l.l.s playing in the field. He saw a mud ball in his hands for a moment, then turned it into several pieces of mud b.a.l.l.s, and later became hard stones, and later changed hands to fiddle with them.
”I can communicate with many species. You say if I consult with them and let them concentrate some of the medicines I need, and then I collect them, then I can get what I need without hurting the whole plant?”
”What about whole herbs that need to be processed and dried, and minerals?”Yuan Zhan is still realistic.
”I also feel more than the general drug refining priest, even dead things will have mental power, in fact, any object has its own special magnetic field, and as long as they have so-called spiritual residual, I can communicate and feel.” Yan Mo is excited, and now he wants to test his ideas by himself. He has never had exciting drugs before. The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu told him that he wanted to try these things, but he just didn't have time.
”You must be the best, but you have to wait till you can move...” Yuan Zhan suddenly stopped thinking and looked to his left hand.
The mud b.a.l.l.s in the left hand changed not into stones, but into hard brown b.a.l.l.s of some color and texture.
Yan Mo is conceiving all kinds of possibilities for him to change the original prescription by stimulating the drug. He has not noticed the change of the mud pill in Yuan Zhan's palm for a moment. When he regains his mind, Yuan Zhan has put the mud pill away. Zhi Mu is here. He does not intend to clarify the mud pill which has changed its texture now.
Nearly three hours later, Zhi Mu used his soul to seal the medicinal properties of the newly refined ointment-like drug, and then exhaled, wiped the sweat on his forehead and relaxed.
”All right?”Yuan Zhan asked.
Zhi Mu nodded and shook his head. ”It's a little short. These are just ointments. I'll rub them into pills later. How big is it to rub? Well, how many grams will make a pill?”
Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo responded.
Yan Mo is also a bit dull. His prescription has not been verified by laboratory reasoning. He can only judge whether it may be effective for psychic enhancement and try to eliminate the possible toxicity. However, he has no detailed data on how many effects and how many levels of psychic power need to be taken at one time.
”The drug produced this time does not look very much. First, one gram of a pill, looking for testing people... After finding someone to try it on, adjust it according to the reaction.”
Zhi Mu also intends to do the same. A revised new prescription, who knows whether it's a good medicine for spiritual improvement or a poison for spiritual collapse? No one dares to take it without it being tested on someone who is not them.
However, although no test has been carried out yet, before sealing the potency, he had felt it during the refining process, and intuitively judged that this drug was definitely much better than the psychotropic drug he had prepared before, but how good it was, how effective it was, and whether there were any other negative effects still depended on the results of the test.
Zhi Mu first asked Yuan Zhan for help, dividing all the ointments in the pot into one gram and one pill.
Yuan Zhan weighed out a gram of weight and looked at the pot of medicine and thought, although these are no longer plants and earthworks, but they were originally, and became a paste, poured on the ground is that not also the soil?
So can he use his soil control ability to distribute medicines?
Yuan Zhan wanted to try.
Zhi Mu looked at Yuan Zhan's small pill, and wondered that he was unwilling to do such a tedious work. He was just about to take the pot and share it with him. He saw the ointment in the pot suddenly scatter around. Then he circled in the pot, and soon it turned into a raindrop, rolling and rolling into the first gram of pills.
Zhi Mu looked at the small pellet that was round and moving in the pot and began to feel miserable. What a good slave is this. He cannot only give birth to herbs, but also distribute them so carefully and evenly. What a pity!
Yuan Zhan's body shook slightly, so he made a pot of small pills. It was strange that he felt more tired than moving a mountain.
Yan Mo is not surprised at all. He just feels that Yuan Zhan's ability is like something pushing against the sky! How many things in the world will not turn into dust in the end, as he thought just now?
If he can control everything, such as turning a person or group of people into dust in a twinkling of an eye... Is this supposed to be near G.o.d's power? No wonder Tucheng-Earth City Temple's people are so greedy to get Yuan Zhan that they can't help it.
Of course, it was impossible to let the priest come by himself, so Zhi Mu took Yuan Zhan out of the temple and rode a donkey-like animal outside Yincheng-Sound City.
There are a large number of slaves working outside the city. Yincheng-Sound City is planning to expand the outside city, and construction is starting from the east.
Instead of entering the construction site, Zhi Mu went into the slave camp and found a leader who said to him, ”I'm going to test the medicine. I want people over 1st rank of soul strength. You can help me ask who wants to. The selected person can get a 2nd rank yuan-crystal coins.”
