Chapter 4489 (1/2)
Medicine debate is the first step in alchemy... Alchemists must first have a very familiar understanding of the properties of various medicinal materials, and then check the selected medicinal materials one by one before officially starting alchemy. Once substandard medicinal materials are found, they must be replaced resolutely.
Otherwise, if only the quality of the medicinal materials is poor, it will only affect the quality of the final pill, but if the medicinal materials themselves are wrong... For example, two kinds of medicinal materials, both in size and shape, are very similar, but the medicinal properties are different, or even opposite.
If you can't accurately distinguish the differences of medicinal materials when you are refining pills, and mistakenly use medicinal materials B as medicinal materials a for alchemy... In the end, if alchemy fails, it will be better. At most, you will waste a furnace of alchemy materials.
But if you finally refine the pill and let people take it as usual, it is likely to make a big deal... A good pill to replenish qi and gain may become a poison pill that can poison good people!
Therefore, as the first step of alchemy, drug debate is a very important link, and truly qualified alchemists will not ignore this step.
Before becoming a real alchemist, an ordinary alchemist has to be an alchemy apprentice for a long time. As apprentices, they are not qualified for alchemy. Their daily work is to help those formal alchemists deal with a large number of medicinal materials.
This work looks dull and boring, but it is a prerequisite for becoming an alchemist, because only when you are exposed to a large number of different kinds of medicinal materials every day can you have an intuitive and specific impression on the spiritual plants of various medicinal materials. In this way... When he really becomes an alchemist and starts his own alchemy, he won't fall in the link of medicine debate.
Although Lu Shan has never been an apprentice in alchemy, he has a strong spirit and can not look at the knowledge he has browsed.
Moreover, the alchemy knowledge he learned through the jade slips is not just some words or pictures. Many of the contents are recorded by senior alchemists
The so-called shenlu is to directly engrave the things in the memory of one's own soul into the jade slips to form a special brand. When others read these jade slips, they will naturally move all the things in the memory of the spirits to their own minds.
Otherwise, if all the classics of alchemy are converted into words, there may be hundreds of millions of words. Even if the practitioner has a long life, how many people are willing to bother and record them in the jade slips for you word by word!
The method of divine recording is much simpler. Just remember what you need to record in your mind, and then engrave it in the jade slips with a secret method. It is very convenient.
The content of this re engraved spirit is more comprehensive than video images. It includes not only images, words, but even smell and touch.
For example, Lu Shan is identifying a traditional Chinese medicine, chiteng root... When he saw this, all the information about the chiteng root naturally came to his mind.
These materials include the whole process of how the red vine root is dug out from the ground, and then cleaned, processed and dried, as well as the best state when it is finally made into a material that can be used for alchemy. It contains the color, size, cross-sectional texture of the red vine root, as well as the smell and touch of the object, and so on.
