First trial of refining medicine
Who would have thought that Ou Yang Jin Xi was fascinated by it, and the Medicine King's Treasure Book was written in a way that was easy to understand, and was vastly different from the alchemy techniques that everyone was familiar with today. It could be said that modern alchemy only considered the results, but ignored the details, which led to a very low success rate of alchemy.
It's like saying that if it's the same first-class elixir, and both are high-level alchemists, using the Emperor's Treasure Alchemy technique, the success rate is eight or nine out of ten. However, for ordinary alchemists, the success rate is less than one in ten.
Nowadays, alchemy is extremely rare, and elixirs are priceless. Alchemists are all incredibly powerful and welcomed wherever they go, due to the principle that rarity breeds value.
Having understood this, Ouyang Jinxuan was eager to try it out. Anyway, the spiritual medicine collected from the Demon Beast Forest and purchased from Lu Ka would be enough for Ouyang Jinxuan to cause trouble a hundred times over.
Ouyang Jinqi calmed down and began to take out a small medicine cauldron, which was also obtained from Lu Ka. The quality is relatively ordinary, but it's okay to use for practice.
According to the Emperor of Medicine's Canon, Ouyang Jinchuan began taking out the lowest-grade cat spirit grass he had picked up along the way and refining it into the lowest-grade ninth-grade dan medicine, Hemostatic Pill.
Cat Spirit Grass is the most common herb on the Far Mountain Continent, usually being treated as a waste grass, and alchemists all discard it.
Ouyang Jinqiu took out the cat spirit grass, according to the Pharmaceutical Emperor's Canon, and began to input the cat spirit grass into the medicine cauldron, then concentrated his spiritual power to control the fire.
Only a furnace of about ten centimeters high, with purple-red flames constantly burning inside, several materials that have turned into liquid are constantly merging or repelling each other.
Ouyang Jinqiu stood by, her eyes filled with expectation.
Suddenly, the bronze medicine cauldron made a light sound, and then it burst open with a loud bang. Ou Yang Jin Xi did not retreat but instead moved forward, using iron tongs to clamp something in the flames, making a clanging sound in mid-air.
"How's it going? Was it a success?" asked Jian Jian, who was eagerly anticipating the outcome. If the refining process was successful, that would be the best thing ever, and his snacks would be endless.
As a divine beast, his favorite thing is spiritual medicine. On the one hand, it can consolidate his soul, condense his soul and ensure that his soul does not shatter. On the other hand, it also gives him the opportunity to condense into a physical body and transform into a human form.
After studying for half a day, Ouyang Jinqiu had no choice but to admit that he succeeded in refining the medicine for the first time!
Although the quality of that medicine looks black and unremarkable, with no special features, and its color is unknown to be tens of thousands of miles different from ordinary hemostatic pills, but its efficacy is more than ten times that of ordinary hemostatic pills.
Ouyang Jinqiu took a deep breath and decided to head home while refining medicine. By the time she was approaching the city, she had already become a 5th rank alchemist. Generally speaking, alchemists of the 9th, 8th, and 7th ranks were considered low-level alchemists. Those of the 6th, 5th, and 4th ranks were considered mid-level alchemists, while those of the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st ranks were considered high-level alchemists.
It can be said that Ouyang Jinqiu is probably the fastest upgraded alchemist on this continent, she dares to claim second place, no one dares to claim first place.
After eating a pile of elixirs, he said with a smile, "Master, although these elixirs look ugly, they can be sold for a good price at the auction!"
Ouyang Jinqiu thought so too, and brought a bunch of rare and precious medicinal herbs to the Imperial Treasure Auction.
Dihao Auction House is a chain of auction houses that spans the entire continent, with almost every country and major city having one. It can be said without hesitation that Dihao Auction House occupies at least one-third of the continent's economy. Such a massive commercial entity naturally makes all major countries dare not offend it.
Because of Di Hao's auction being very eye-catching, Ouyang Jinchuan also easily found that huge building.
Ouyang Jinqi was a modern person, used to seeing high-rise buildings, but the buildings on this continent were not very tall, generally around five or six meters were considered tall, but this building was over fifty meters.
Looking at the towering strange building, Ouyang Jinqiu secretly sighed with a bitter smile. This life and this world, she was afraid that she would never be able to return again. However, Ouyang Jinqiu had also made a name for herself in the foreign realm, and the nightmares left behind on Earth were enough to make her fed up to death, so whether or not she could return was no longer important.
Thinking that his own elixir was ugly, Ouyang Jinchuan stepped into the auction house. Although it was ugly, after all, it was a good thing and should be able to sell for a lot of money.
In order to avoid being recognized by someone, she simply changed her outfit. Although she had disguised herself as a man before, it was still easy for people to see through it.
But Ou Yang Jin Xi, who had just upgraded, was unrecognizable as a woman after dressing up this time. At this moment, Ou Yang Jin Xi was a handsome and elegant young man.
The Di Hao auction was truly a luxurious affair, with the entire venue designed to be resplendent in gold and jade, exuding an air of opulence that was beyond words. The road was paved with precious stones, illuminated by bright pearls, creating an elegant and majestic atmosphere. The items up for auction were also incredibly diverse and abundant.
Ouyang Jinqiu had just entered when two ancient-dressed girls came out to greet him. "Honorable guest, hello, is there anything we can do for you?"
"I have something I'd like to auction off here." Ouyang Jinqiu stated his intention directly.
"Alright, please follow me. Let's have the appraiser take a look first." The receptionist led Ouyang Jinqiu to the large hall on the second floor, brought up fruit and wine, and then retreated with a smile.
Ouyang Jinqi looked around and found that many people came to the Di Hao auction house to sell things, but relatively speaking, the figure of an appraiser was nowhere to be seen.
Ouyang Jinqi initially thought that because there were many people waiting to be identified, the identification expert hadn't arrived yet. But who knew that after a while, the door was roughly pushed open and in came a fifty-year-old middle-aged fat old man with a huge belly, big enough to hold five or six large watermelons.
He walked while muttering to himself, "Damn it, what a nuisance... Those who need to identify things, come quickly, I still have to get intimate with Miss Qingqing later!"
Ouyang Jinqiu slightly furrowed her brow, and her good impression of the Emperor's auction suddenly disappeared by half.
Just then, a group of people who wanted to auction off their goods gathered around, each one fawning over the fat man, speaking in the sweetest tones, as if they would gladly marry off their own daughters to him as concubines.
The fat man scolded and identified, throwing things he was not satisfied with onto the ground and rubbing them into powder with his toes.
Because all the people who come to this hall for appraisal are here to appraise elixirs, many poor alchemists or poor people who accidentally obtained elixirs see this fat man wasting elixirs and are indignant, but they dare not offend the Imperial Treasure Auction House, so they can only secretly seethe with anger and leave in despair.
Ouyang Jinqiu watched from the side and found that many of the elixirs crushed by Fatso on the ground were actually quite good, it's just that Fatso didn't know their value. She was about to explode when it was her turn.
"What is it that you want me to appraise? Hurry up and take it out." The big fat man sat in front of Ouyang Jinqiu with a very impatient expression.
Ouyang Jinqiu slowly took out five elixirs from his sleeve and handed them over.
Dà Pàng Zǐ què bù kàn shǒu zhōng de dān yào, ér shì yī jiù jiāng shǒu zài ōu Yáng Jǐn Xī de miàn qián.
Translation:
The big fat man did not look at the dan medicine in his hand, but instead still stretched out his hand in front of Ouyang Jinchuan's face.
"What's wrong?" Ou Yang Jin Xi frowned and asked.
"Nonsense, of course I'll pay, one hundred silver coins."
"Does the appraisal still require money?" Ou Yang Jin Xi narrowed his eyes, this Emperor Hao family is really dark, the appraisal requires money too. Damn it, this appraisal fee can support a small family for a year. No wonder the horizontal tablet at the entrance with the couplet says "Poor people do not enter"...
Ouyang Jinqiu didn't mind the small amount of money and handed it over casually, then explained: "This is a fifth-grade elixir, Luoshen Dan, which can instantly increase one's spiritual power by a factor of two and last for ten minutes..."
Ouyang Jinqiu had just finished speaking when the fat man burst out laughing, his face full of ridicule as he looked at Ouyang Jinqiu, as if watching a joke.
"This guest, what's the use of this thing? If it's up to you to decide, then what's the point of having me, an appraiser, here?"
"I've been an appraiser for so many years, but I've never heard of the Luoshen Dan. If such a pill really existed in this world, wouldn't having just one be enough to save a life? What a joke! And it's only worth ten minutes, haha, what a farce."
The fat man looked disdainful, his eyes only swept over Ouyang Jinchuan's body for a moment before focusing on the medicinal pill. However, after looking at it for a few moments, he sneered.
"What the hell is this? Damn it, I'm supposed to appraise this piece of junk? What a waste of my time..."
The fat man casually threw the dan medicine on the ground, as if throwing away some trash, and said that he was about to crush it with his foot.
"What do you mean?" Ou Yang Jin Xi's cold aura radiated in all directions, and with one kick, she struck the big fat man's belly. The big fat man stumbled, but his foot seemed to be stuck and couldn't move down.
The originally arrogant fatty, who had wanted to continue scolding people, was now secretly suffering, unable to believe that Ouyang Jinchuan, who looked like a small and weak person, actually had such great strength. This one kick had already caused him severe internal injuries.
Considering that Ou Yang Jin Xi is an expert, the fat man took another close look at the elixir, but no matter how he looked at it, the elixir was still useless. Thinking of this, he became stubborn, as the appraiser of Emperor Hao, even if you are an expert, you have to give face to Emperor Hao if not me.
He proudly said: "It's not that I, Li Baozi, don't follow reason, but this Dan medicine is fundamentally useless. Even if you're a master, you can't be unreasonable! The Luoshen Dan has never been heard of, could it be that the name created by masters is used to deceive people?! This is the Imperial Mansion, we absolutely do not allow such things to happen!"
After hearing what Big Fatty said, the people who were originally trying to curry favor with him immediately flattered him, saying: "That's right, Master Li is a very famous appraiser in China. Even if you're an expert, you can't bully others just because of your strength."
It's so tiring to code, vote for me!
