Chapter 267 Brother-in-law, can I try it? "Ah." Du Ruo nodded, dispersed the "qi" attached to his fingers, and then began to roll the balls. Just now, Du Ruo refined the honey at high temperature and then mixed it into the medicinal powder. It has many functions, the most basic of which is to act as a bond. Otherwise, it is difficult to melt the dry medicinal powder together. Moreover, if the medicinal powder is directly put into high temperature for refining, it is easy to destroy the medicinal properties and burn it directly. Secondly, it has a detoxifying effect. For example, this kind of Longfeng Shuangle Pill contains a large number of insects. Refining it with honey can remove some of the toxins and play a harmonizing role. The last step is to balance the taste. The sweetness contained in honey can make the finished medicine less difficult to swallow. "Brother-in-law, what is the effect of this Dragon and Phoenix Double Joy Pill? It sounds like it's quite powerful." Xiangwu looked at the ceramic bowl, then looked at the meatballs in Du Ruo's hand and couldn't help asking. In fact, what he wanted to ask more was how Du Ruo managed to hold the bowl with his bare hands without getting burned. He originally just wanted to take a break and go out for a walk, but when he saw Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan playing house, he came over to chat and warm himself by the fire. He didn't expect Du Ruo to say that he was refining medicine. This aroused his interest greatly. His family mainly dealt in medicinal materials and was not unfamiliar with refining medicine, but this was the first time he saw alchemy.
Generally speaking, modern medicine is not refined at high temperatures. Instead, the powder is rolled into pills and swallowed directly. It is mainly used to treat some chronic diseases and is not used for emergencies or functional diseases. Perhaps he was excited to see the prey, so he couldn't help but ask. "The full name of this pill is the Yang-strengthening Golden Pill, Dragon and Phoenix Double Joy Pill." Du Ruo had just finished rubbing the pills. He glanced at Xiang Wu and directly told him the name of the pill. After that, he put all the brown and black pills into a ceramic bowl, added some fire under the stove, and when the temperature came up, he put the ceramics into the stove and blocked the opening of the stove with a baffle. "Wow~ I didn't expect my brother-in-law could do this. It really broadens my horizons." Xiangwu didn't leave either. As soon as he heard the name of the medicine Du Ruo mentioned, he knew it was an aphrodisiac. This type of elixir has a huge market all over the world, but he has only heard of it but has never seen this type of elixir in traditional Chinese medicine. If this were true, it would be a huge business opportunity, although he doubted that the furnace made of mud and bricks in front of him could produce elixirs. But what if? Anyway, I have nothing to do now, so I can try to find out the truth about my brother-in-law. In fact, the existence of Du Ruo had been spread in their Xiang family a long time ago, and it was quite mysterious. Whether it was Xiang Yuanzhang or Xiang's father and mother, they only praised Du Ruo when they talked about it, and they seemed to be willing to hand over the entire family property to Du Ruo. This made these branches of the family become interested. Xiang Yuanzhang's branch masters the most core technology, but has only one daughter. This is a very intriguing thing. However, these branches all have their own thoughts and are waiting. Once Xiang Yuanzhang passes away and Xiang Yuanyuan is unable to support it, their technology will naturally fall into the hands of others. Now that Du Ruo has appeared, this has inevitably aroused some speculation. Now everyone is waiting for tomorrow's annual meeting, and I'm sure someone will jump out and say something. "I heard from Third Grandpa that your brother-in-law is a martial artist?" "Just a martial arts enthusiast." "When do you plan to get married to Ninth Sister?" "After the New Year, we need to discuss the details between the two families." …… The three of them squatted by the stove and chatted, but it was mostly Xiang Wu asking questions and Du Ruo answering, while Xiang Yuanyuan was poking at the mud out of boredom with a piece of grass. The questions Xiangwu asked were quite particular and he didn't go into great depth, and Du Ruo answered them in a disjointed manner.
His attention was focused on the furnace. This was Du Ruo's first time to refine the elixir in the true sense, so he was quite attentive to it. "Brother-in-law, I heard you are over 30 this year? I can't really tell. You look about the same age as my son. How do you maintain your looks? Do you use pills?" Xiangwu was still asking questions here and there. In fact, it was these questions that made Du Ruo receive so much attention. After all, the more you get to know him, the more mysterious he seems. "It's done!" Du Ruo, who was originally answering the question, sniffed and suddenly spoke, then kept silent, removed the baffle of the stove, and then reached into the stove with his bare hands to grab the ceramic bowl. When Du Ruo opened his mouth, Xiangwu immediately shut up and stared at Du Ruo's hands. He was still wondering if he had seen it wrong. "Gulu~" As a result, Du Ruo performed the trick of picking chestnuts with fire for him again. He only felt a flash before his eyes, and Du Ruo once again picked up the ceramic bowl with his bare hands. Seeing this scene, Xiang Wu couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He just silently noted the time. The ceramic bowl had been baked in the oven for at least seven or eight minutes. Looking at the ceramic bowl again at this time, the originally black pill became even darker, while the gray pill began to fade. The two colors were clearly distinct and lay quietly in the ceramic bowl. "Is it done?" Xiang Yuanyuan then perked up and looked at the ceramic bowl. After seeing the two kinds of meatballs, she began to ask Du Ruo curiously. "I don't know if it's successful yet, I'll try it first." Du Ruo reached out, picked up a black meatball and a gray meatball, then without even looking at them, threw them directly into his mouth and started chewing them. Xiang Yuanyuan and Xiang Wu looked at Du Ruo curiously without saying anything. When the pill entered his mouth, he first had a slightly sweet taste, followed by a fishy, astringent, and bitter taste. Finally, these tastes mixed together, making it difficult to describe. Du Ruo chewed the pill into pieces and swallowed it, carefully feeling the changes in his body. Normally, the effect of the Dragon and Phoenix Double Joy Pills would take half an hour to take effect, but due to Du Ruo's amazing physique, the medicinal effects began to be absorbed almost as soon as it was swallowed. Not only that, Du Ruo could clearly sense the water and earth energy in his body, which meant that his kidneys and spleen benefited the most. At the same time, the "essence" fire in his body began to undergo some subtle changes and became a little more active. If we only talk about the efficacy of the medicine, its effect of nourishing the kidney, strengthening yang and making you energetic is definitely acceptable. "Well, the pill is fine." Du Ruo nodded and said something, and at the same time, the Hunyuan Yi Qigong in his body began to circulate. "Brother-in-law, can I try?" Xiangwu asked curiously as he looked at the pill. "Okay, but..." After listening to Xiangwu's question, Du Ruo nodded indifferently. At the same time, the energy and spirit in his body immediately merged into one, and he began to extinguish the desire that was rising slightly. But before he could finish his words, Xiangwu grabbed a gray pill and put it into his mouth. "No…but what?" Xiangwu chewed the pill in his mouth, trying to use his knowledge of Chinese medicine to identify the medicinal ingredients in it, but the pill was a little hot, so he simply chewed it twice and swallowed it. He asked subconsciously, and it was only because of the ceramic bowl and the low temperature outside that he didn't get blisters on his mouth.
"Uh, you ate Fengwan..." Du Ruo didn't expect the other party to speak so quickly. Before he could even say anything to pay attention to, he saw Xiang Wu taking the Feng Wan, so he had no choice but to give him a reminder. "Ah? Oh, then I'll have another one! But what? Brother-in-law, you haven't told me yet?" When Xiangwu heard this, he immediately understood that Fengwan was for women. Since he couldn't taste it, he simply grabbed another black pill from the ceramic bowl and put it into his mouth. "However... Dragon and Phoenix Double Joy Pills are auxiliary medicines for Taoist dual cultivation. After taking them, the medicinal effect will be stronger. If you cannot practice Qi to absorb them, you should not take too much. Moreover, if you take Dragon and Phoenix Pills together, you may feel hot." Du Ruo looked at Xiangwu and wanted to see what effect it would have on ordinary people, so he used "God" to watch Xiangwu's changes. "Oh, it's just a bit hot, that's okay..." Xiangwu chewed the black pill into pieces before swallowing it, then smacked his lips with an indifferent look on his face. Just like Xiang Yuanyuan who often takes medicinal herbs as snacks, he is actually similar. He eats all kinds of medicinal herbs and doesn't care about the heat at all. He just goes home and drinks something cool. In Du Ruo's eyes, he could clearly see that the originally lazy red "essence" around Xiangwu boiled for a moment, and then burned as if adding more firewood. "Third brother, here~" At this time, Xiang Yuanyuan took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Xiangwu, with a smile in his eyes. "Hmm? Woc~ So fierce?" Xiangwu took the tissue from Xiang Yuanyuan inexplicably, then realized something was wrong, wiped his nose with the tissue, then covered his nose with the tissue, and blurted out something. "No...Brother-in-law, you said this is a dual cultivation pill? How long does it take for it to take effect?" In the cold wind, sweat broke out on Xiangwu's forehead. Only then did he realize that he didn't dare to question those pills and asked Du Ruo a question. "Half an hour... vigorous and energetic..." Only then did Du Ruo say something quietly. His Longfeng Shuangle Pills actually have many formulas. The ones on the market now are mild versions, which have been modified by later generations. His is a Taoist elixir, which is more powerful and violent. Xiangwu must have taken a lot of tonic food in his daily life, so he had such a big reaction. "Ahem, brother-in-law, I have something else to do, so I'll be out for a while." When Xiangwu heard this, he immediately stood up and was about to run, but then ran back and took a gray meatball from the ceramic bowl. "Brother-in-law, I'll take another Fengwan, and I'll talk about the others when I come back." Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan just watched Xiang Wu hurriedly run into the yard. After a while, he pulled a charming woman out of the yard and got into a luxury car. The luxury car drove towards the town at lightning speed. “That’s the third sister-in-law, husband, is your pill so powerful?” Xiang Yuanyuan saw this scene and asked Du Ruo with some surprise. In her opinion, the effect of the medicine was too strong. Xiangwu started to bleed from his nose not long after taking it. Then he dragged his third sister-in-law to go to the town to get a room.
