A rare opportunity

Chapter 330: Pill Formation

Looking at Yin Wentong's expression, Li Yu naturally knew what he was thinking. In order to be able to make pills in peace in the future, he simply asked Shi Qian to find some herbs and perform a demonstration.

You should know that when Li Yu was in the Jin family clinic, many medicines were made into plasters by him. Now he is even more familiar with refining, and soon a pot of steaming hot plaster for treating external injuries is successfully refined!

It would be fine if Li Yu didn't refine it, but it didn't matter if he did. Yin Wentong immediately became interested and followed Li Yu, asking questions all the time! He wanted to try his hand.

Li Yu couldn't help but feel a little regretful! He originally wanted to be alone, but he didn't expect to get stuck with a piece of sticky candy! In order to get rid of his entanglement, he had no choice but to teach him how to refine those herbs into ointments!

For Yin Wentong, refining herbs into ointments was like discovering a new world. This method not only effectively utilized the medicinal effects of herbs, but also reduced the toxic side effects of herbs. Moreover, this finished medicine was easy to preserve, avoiding the trouble of boiling medicine.

As a result, Yin Wentong became even more obsessed with refining medicine, so much so that he stayed in Li Yu's clinic and was unwilling to leave.

Li Yu set up the stove not just for refining medicine, his purpose was to refine the elixir. But in this Hongzhou continent, alchemists are rare. If the news spreads, it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble. If Li Yu can refine the elixir now, the key is that he only has a lot of theoretical knowledge and no practical operation. If the news spreads, it will inevitably be suspected of seeking fame! The reason why he put the alchemy room in the inner room is to avoid being seen by others.

There was really no other way, so Li Yu could only ask Shi Qian to install a stove in Yin Wentong's clinic.

After settling Yin Wentong, Li Yu returned to his clinic, took the ring handed to him by Hu Qian who had rushed back, and took a look at it with his mind, and couldn't help but get very excited!

Hu Qian is really good at doing things! The herbs he bought were not only of various types and sufficient in quantity, but also of high quality. He smiled at Hu Qian and said:

"Brother Hu's actions are truly extraordinary! Thank you very much!"

He immediately took the ring and walked into the inner room. Although Hu Qian looked calm on the surface, he was a little excited in his heart. You know, everyone wants to be recognized by others for what they do. Hu Qian was no exception. He immediately followed Li Yu and said:

"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning. This purchase cost a total of about 10,000 taels of silver, and the remaining money was placed in the ring. Do you want to count it first?"

"Oh? Anything left? Then there's no need!"

Li Yu said without turning his head.

Hu Qian was stunned when he heard this! He then secretly regretted it! He regretted that he didn't deduct a little! Although Liu Hai had always been by his side, with his own means, it would be a piece of cake to hide it from him!

Li Yu rarely spent money in his life. It was not because he didn't need it, but because he never had it! Therefore, he had no concept of money. In his opinion, with a ring full of herbs, there should be very little money left!

Hu Qian was curious about why Li Yu bought so many herbs, many of which were rare. When he followed Li Yu into the inner room, he couldn't help but wonder what he was doing? Was he going to cook? Otherwise, why was he setting up this stove? He pointed at the stove and asked in surprise:

"What...what is this for?"

“Refine…Refine medicine!”

Li Yu wanted to say alchemy, but for some reason he changed his words to alchemy. Even he felt strange. He didn't hide it from Qi Biao and didn't intend to hide it from Liu Hai, but he subconsciously hid it from Hu Qian! Fortunately, Hu Qian probably didn't know the difference between refining medicine and alchemy. Even if he was right next to him, he probably wouldn't know what he was doing.

"Refining medicine?"

Hu Qian naturally had no idea what alchemy was, and he just looked at Li Yu in confusion.

At this time, Li Yu no longer cared about his questions. He walked into the inner room and sat cross-legged. He thought about the recipe and process of refining the simplest medicine for injuries, then took out the herbs he needed and spread them out. He asked Qi Biao to light the firewood, and when the fire was ready, he threw the herbs into the furnace one by one!

Hu Qian saw Li Yu busy with work, Qi Biao and Liu Hai were also helping, so he wanted to help. But he couldn't stand the smell, so he left on the pretext of something. But even when he got to the outer room, he couldn't stand the smell of the herbs, so he had to move a chair and sit outside the door. But the more he thought about it, the worse it felt. Wouldn't he look like a watchdog? He stood up again and wanted to go into the room, but couldn't stand the smell. He wanted to go out for a walk, but didn't dare. After all, this was the prince's mansion, and it was heavily guarded. If he wasn't careful, he might be chopped into pieces by an assassin! So he could only walk around in front of the door with his hands behind his back.

Li Yu started to refine the most common elixir for healing external injuries. Although he had refined it before, it had been a long time since he started, so he was a little unfamiliar with it. Moreover, the elixir he had refined before, whether in terms of efficacy or shape, was not satisfactory to him. Therefore, he decided to refine a healing elixir that satisfied him first, and then study and refine other elixirs.

When Qi Biao and Liu Hai saw the first pot of elixirs coming out of the furnace, they were extremely excited! You know, for small people like them, elixirs are just legends! They have never even seen one! But now, they have refined a furnace! Although there are only two, the shape is not round, not square, and a little weird. But, after all, it is also elixir!

They looked at Li Yu unconsciously with admiration! They were thinking: It's ok that the young master is good at medicine, but he can also make pills? Now it seems that their choice is so wise!

Just as the two were full of admiration for Li Yu, they saw Li Yu pick up the two pills, sniff them under his nose, lick them with his tongue, smack his lips, frown, sigh, and throw the two pills into the stove.

When the two saw each other, they couldn't help but scream "Ah!" Their voices were full of regret and confusion! Before they could come to their senses, they saw Li Yu throwing the herbs into the furnace again!

The shape of the pills became more and more regular, and the color of the pills became more and more crystal clear. But it still couldn't escape the fate of being thrown into the stove! Li Yu's operation made Qi Biao and Liu Hai tremble with fear and heartache! You know, in order to refine two pills, a lot of herbs are needed! How can people not feel distressed when they are wasted in vain?

It was not until the tenth furnace that the two saw Li Yu showing a satisfied look! He immediately took out a porcelain bottle and carefully stored the two pills.
