Chapter 301: Discerning the Prescription by Scent
ask for much, just 10,000 spirit stones. How about it"Wang Yuanzhong fell silent for a moment, then said, "Yes!"The higher the price is set, the greater the commission the Wang family receives, so na...Upon hearing Xiao Zheng's reminder, the many disciples fell into deep contemplation.
And just a few moments later, several voices almost simultaneously rang out: "Color!"
Yes, color!
Now, Jiang Yun imagines thousands of kinds of medicinal herbs. Each kind, after being integrated into the elixir, will give the elixir a unique color!
A total of seven colors!
That is to say, Ginger Cloud's seemingly casual glance had already begun analyzing the prescription.
And the first piece of evidence he analyzed was a look!
Through the seven colors of the Qicai Dan, we first found all the medicinal herbs that could give the elixir its color, thus greatly narrowing down the scope.
And when Jiang Yun opened his eyes after completing the first analysis, he didn't even look at the thousands of medicinal herbs that had appeared around him. Time had only just passed a moment ago.
Next, Jiang Yun placed the Qicai Dan under his nose and began the second analysis—smell!
This time, the medicinal herbs appearing around Jiang Yun are both more in number and faster than before!
Even bystanders feel dizzy and overwhelmed.
But when this scene fell into the eyes of Elder Han and other high-level alchemists, it caused their faces to show expressions of astonishment.
Especially Mei Bu Gu even softly uttered four words: "Hear the smell, identify the prescription!"
For analyzing the incense, the most commonly used method is smelling.
Because most medicinal herbs have their own unique aromas.
And this smell will also continue to exist after Chengdan.
It's possible for it to become more concentrated or more diluted, making it hard to tell.
But now looking at Jiang Yun's speed of refining the elixir, it clearly shows that he is already familiar with the smell of various medicinal herbs to an unbelievable degree.
... is unmatched by any other pharmacist present.
That is to say, it has achieved what Mei Wugu said those four words: "Smell the medicine and discern the prescription."
To distinguish and discern medicine, just like refining medicine back to its original state, is a realm!
If the method of smelling a pill could be further advanced, it would be knowing the formula by smelling!
Just by the smell of the elixir, one can analyze its formula!
It is said that the founder of Yaoshén Sect achieved this state!
After Gingercloud completed the second round of smelling and identifying herbs, the medicinal ingredients surrounding him did not increase but instead decreased by nearly a hundred types.
Obviously, combining the results of the two rounds of analysis led to Jiang Yun eliminating all herbs that possessed only one characteristic.
In the third round of analysis, Jiang Yun closed his eyes again and gently held the seven-colored pill in his hand. Naturally, everyone knew he was using his divine sense to inspect it.
During this process, the number of herbs around Ginger Cloud dwindled drastically, leaving only about five hundred in the end.
After the three-wheel analysis was complete, Jiang Yun opened his eyes again. With a wave of his hand, a stone pot appeared in front of him, surrounded by flames. One kind of medicinal herb after another was thrown into the pot.
Because of this inheritance constraint, there is a time limit but no limit on the number of refining attempts.
Besides, the required medicinal herbs are also up to one's whim. So as long as it is within the specified time limit, even if he fails thousands of times, it doesn't matter.
Therefore, he simply began to try and refine this seven-colored elixir.
Although everyone had witnessed Jiang Yun's alchemy skills during the previous grand competition, back then, Jiang Yun was pursuing the medicinal efficacy of pills, presenting a state of simplicity and authenticity without any speed.
However, now that he is eager to analyze the formula of the Seven-Colored Dan as quickly as possible, the state he displays is completely different.
This also allowed everyone to once again witness his alchemy skills.
Fast and organized!
No matter how complex the steps, no matter how intricate the techniques, no matter how difficult the heat control, in his hands, it all flows effortlessly and smoothly.
After a day passed, Jiang Yun had already completed thirty-six refining attempts without a single failure!
And finally, the pill that was refined was a four-colored pill!
Just looking at the outside, it's already pretty close!
Of course, being close is far from enough; it must be exactly the same, even down to the details like Dan's effects. There can't be even a slight difference.
However, at this time, there were only over four hundred types of medicinal herbs left beside Jiang Yun.
Looking at his appearance, it seems certain that the ninety-nine herbs needed are within these four hundred!
The next day, Jiang Yun was still trying to refine it.
By the end of the day, he had refined a six-colored elixir, and there were only over three hundred kinds of medicinal herbs left around him!
But this level is still not enough, and there's only one day left!
At this time, Jiang Yun did not continue refining. Instead, he stopped all his movements and once again looked at the seven-colored elixir pill.
All the disciples of Yaoshensong, after watching for these two days, no longer felt as repulsed by Jiang Yun entering the inheritance land as they did at first.
It's very simple, it's because Jiang Yun's mastery of medicine has once again deeply impressed them.
As a result, many disciples are now secretly hoping that Jiang Yun can complete the refining of this seven-colored elixir and successfully pass the sixth level to enter the inheritance site.
"Come on! You're getting closer!"
"Who knows, he might actually succeed!"
After staring intently at the seven-colored elixir for a long time, Jiang Yun suddenly made a move that left everyone dumbfounded.
He actually swallowed the Seven-Colored Elixir directly into his mouth.
Actually, using medicinal pills to identify a prescription is also a commonly used method.
However, when other alchemists use this method, they must have a general understanding of the properties of the elixir. Moreover, it is impossible to swallow the entire elixir; at most, they can only cut out a small amount of powder.
After all, if it's poison or a pill with strong side effects, swallowing it whole is like courting death.
Moreover, Ginger Cloud needs two Rainbow Pills to pass the sixth level.
But now that he has swallowed one, it means he must go through the process of taking it to finally analyze the formula of this seven-colored pill correctly.
Only then can he refine two seven-colored pills!
It's clear that Jiang Yun is going all in, betting his life on this.
Only success, no failure allowed!
After ginger cloud swallowed the seven-colored pill, a faint rainbow glow appeared on his body.
He appeared to be shrouded in a halo of light, radiating an aura of solemnity.
After a whole night of contemplation, as the sky just began to lighten on the third day, Ginger Cloud started refining again.
He refined medicine faster, and the speed at which medicinal herbs around him disappeared was also faster.
By the evening, there were only over a hundred kinds of medicinal herbs left around him.
And he even successfully refined a six-colored and a half pill.
Just half a step away from the final rainbow!
But at this time, Ginger Cloud stopped continuing to refine. Instead, he frowned and sat there like a statue, motionless.
With the ginger clouds remaining motionless, the tens of thousands of disciples on top of Luofeng Mountain in the Medicine Dao also stood still.
Everyone is like ginger cloud, pondering how that missing half of the color will appear.
At this very moment, within Jiang Yun's mind, nearly ten thousand kinds of medicinal herbs were constantly being disassembled and recombined, continuously condensing into pills.
No matter how hard we try, we can't find the herbs needed to create that missing half-way color.
Time, with its three-day deadline, is drawing closer.
