Chapter 206: The Deceptive Medicine Name
Although Bai Fuling has the Eye of the Pharmacist and the inheritance from Qinghe, she does not recognize most of the herbs.
The pharmacological knowledge Qinghe taught her included more than 30,000 kinds of basic information on medicinal herbs, and she only knew one-tenth of them in the past ten days.
The healing and pain-relieving herbs in the "magic medicine" are all the most basic herbs. At the very beginning, white Poria cocos is not difficult to understand, but the dream orchid and silver bell grass at the back are not common.
Fortunately, when she analyzed the elixir, the Pharmacist's Eye would show the basic form of the herb, so she was able to find it in the database.
However, the pharmacist's eye can only show the basic form of the herb, and cannot directly show the name and function of the herb or other herbs that complement or counteract it, so she still has to rely on the basic form of the herb and then look through the knowledge base.
So this is not a simple project. This is also the reason why she has the eyes of a pharmacist but cannot prepare a recipe to restrain the "magic medicine" in a short period of time.
She must master the basic knowledge of herbs before she can try them slowly.
Fortunately, she doesn't need to prepare the pill recipe now. She only needs to analyze the structure of the pill and reversely deduce the pill-making process and the proportion of each herb.
The herbal ingredients for healing and relieving pain in the three magical medicines remained the same, but the proportions were slightly different, and Bai Fuling did not recognize the additional herbs.
Although the head master did not hide the ingredients of the other two "magic medicines", Bai Fuling only got the names of a few herbs and their basic medicinal properties.
But we cannot tell which herb White Poria cocos they are from their names.
Therefore, Bai Fuling could only obtain the basic form of the herb through the Pharmacist's Eye, and then use his own painting ability to draw it so that Li Yubai could identify it.
But Li Yubai is not a professional alchemist. What he knows is limited to the basic commonly used medicinal herbs, and he does not know this kind of weird ones.
If Liu Yuanbai were here, he would probably recognize him, after all, his major is alchemy.
The communication jade slip can only communicate information but cannot send pictures, so it is not very convenient for communication.
They wanted to learn how to send letters with a flying sword from the master, but their skills were not high and they certainly could not send letters as quickly as the master.
After much thought, Bai Fuling could only share the basic knowledge of medicinal herbs in his mind with Xiao Douzi and Li Yubai, and ask them to help him find it.
Of course, before sharing it, she asked Qinghe for his opinion. Qinghe said coldly, "You can give it to whoever you want!"
Although Li Yubai was surprised at the sudden increase in pharmacological knowledge in Bai Fuling's mind, he did not ask more questions.
He always allows others to have secrets and doesn't pry too much.
Xiao Douzi would not ask even more. He now admired Bai Fuling very much. He would not be surprised no matter what Bai Fuling suddenly gained or what she could do.
With the help of Li Yubai and Xiao Douzi, Bai Fuling completed the analysis and reverse reasoning in less than twenty minutes.
They are the fruit of the winter jade tree, the ghost flute vine, the nightmare flower, and the dead grass.
The winter jade tree is the easiest to identify because its trunk and branches are like white and green jade, and its flowers are like winter snowflakes, melting at the touch and dissolving in water; and its fruit is also transparent and clear like ice crystals, and exudes a chill, so it is called the winter jade tree.
The fruit of the winter jade tree can make people fall into hibernation and want to sleep, so it has the effect of treating insomnia, but the disadvantage is that too much use will make people fall into a deep sleep.
Although the amount of winter jade tree fruit used is not large, if it is used with the help of soothing incense and sleeping songs, it will stimulate the medicinal properties of the winter jade tree fruit.
In other words, they only need to light soothing incense in the user's home or play soothing music outdoors to make the user fall into a deep sleep.
The ghost flute vine is actually a kind of grass. Because it grows in dark corners, when the wind blows, its leaves make a flute-like sound, so it is called the ghost flute vine.
"You call this a vine? How does that have anything to do with vines?" Bai Fuling was speechless.
In the early stage of the volatilization of the ghost vine in the body, the user will hear a soft sound of wind. The soft sound of wind can calm the user's mind and awaken his or her spiritual intelligence, which is very suitable for learning.
In the later stage of the volatilization of the Ghost Withered Vine, the sound of the wind in the ears of the person taking the medicine will slowly change from soft to manic. The manic sound of the wind will make the person taking the medicine extremely irritable, like a mad beast, and there is a possibility of self-destruction or murder.
The medicinal effect of the Ghost Withered Vine usually takes two months to evaporate, but if a cultivator deliberately causes a strong wind to speed up the evaporation of the Ghost Withered Vine, it will cause people to go crazy early.
I originally thought that the nightmare flower was a flower, but it has neither flowers nor leaves, only slender roots and branches. Because it grows by devouring dreams, it will roll itself into a ball to look for dreams to devour.
The function of the Nightmare Flower is to replicate dreams, replicating other people's dreams for the person who takes it. If the replicated dreams are beautiful, it will be of great help to those who are suffering.
But if the replica is a nightmare, it will make people fall into the nightmare again and again and unable to extricate themselves until they collapse mentally.
Judging from the ingredients, there are two doses of Nightmare Flower, which shows that each pill of "magic medicine" contains two kinds of dreams, one is a good dream and the other is a nightmare. As long as you swallow the "magic medicine", the good dream will start, but the nightmare requires external conditions to trigger.
Generally, the nightmare component of the Nightmare Flower will be activated as long as the user is frightened, which can also be done artificially.
Dead grass is green all over and has no dead leaves at all, but it will die directly after leaving the soil, hence the name dead grass.
This name is somewhat reliable, but the names of Ghost Withered Vine and Nightmare Flower are simply ridiculous.
The dead grass has the effect of killing fantasies and thoughts. If a monk accidentally goes astray or has a mental demon, he can use it as a medicine to solve the problem of mental demons and obsession.
If used on ordinary people, it can kill unnecessary burdensome thoughts and solve the problem of mental disorder, but if used too much, it will kill the main thoughts and make people stupid.
Although the amount of dead grass in the "magic medicine" is not much and is not enough to make people stupid, if someone plays desolate music with a withered flute, those who have taken the dead grass will die suddenly.
Because of the extreme nervousness, Bai Fuling didn't dare to be careless at all. In just twenty minutes, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Bai Fuling sorted out in detail the structures of the other two "magic medicines", the reverse process of making the pills, and the dosage ratios of various herbs, and asked Li Yubai to report them to the head sect leader.
Although the head sect leader had already sent many elders and disciples with wind spiritual roots to various towns and villages to control the wind and prevent those who had taken the "magic medicine" of the ghost withering vine from being driven mad by the sound of the wind.
But this can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.
The key is to quickly research the elixir that can restrain the "magic medicine" and compose a piece of music that can restrain and stimulate the deterioration of the "magic medicine".
Although the steps for making pills and the proportions of herbs used have greatly improved the success rate of preparing pills, it is not easy to prepare a pill that can restrain three "magic medicines" in a short period of time.
The Tianmen Sect's Alchemy Hall spent two hours to initially prepare two immature pill recipes. Because the pill recipes were immature and still in the experimental stage, they had to wait until the pills were completed before further research could determine whether they were effective.
The musicians at Leyin Peak kept experimenting by playing various instruments and singing.
Because the fruit of the winter jade tree can cause people to fall into a sleep and die, lullabies cannot be played. However, soft and soothing music must be played for the nightmare flower to turn nightmares into sweet dreams.
Passionate music can wake up sleepers, but it can also make nightmares worse.
It's really frustrating.
And the musicians are trying to blend, over and over again, until their heads are almost bald.
In the end, I managed to compose two songs. Although they solved the problem, the aftereffects were quite serious and made people irritable.
Although it's not perfect, there's nothing we can do about it.
Soon Bai Fuling obtained two immature pill recipes, but because she did not have that many herbs on hand, she could not try to make the pills and could only use the Pharmacist's Eye to deduce them.
For each pill recipe, she deduced at least six steps of alchemy, but all ended in failure.
The Alchemy Hall could only prepare new recipes for the pills, and it was not until the next morning that they finally prepared a usable recipe.
However, taking this pill will make people feel weak and nauseous, and these symptoms will last for half a year.
In other words, although people who receive music and elixir treatment can save their lives, they will suffer from two sequelae: fatigue, nausea and irritability.
Although it is not perfect, it is a turn for the better. We can only wait until the "miracle drug" incident is over and then find a way to make up for it.
The leader of Tianmen Sect made a decision quickly.
So at dawn, all the alchemy practitioners in the Tianmen Sect, whether they were majoring in or minoring in alchemy, received the task of refining alchemy.
All the musicians have left the sect and gone to various towns and villages to play music for the people.
At noon, the first batch of pills left the sect and were distributed to some people.
