Chapter 316 Foundation-Laying Bolus
The orange-red flame is dancing.
A medicine scent wafts from the Grade Two alchemy furnace on which the Kyuuki Beast is engraved. Lin Luoran’s one hand continually puts the fire Wakan into the furnace while the other hand makes the gesture of spells to lift the lid and put b.u.t.terflybush Flower in it.
What she is making is “Foundation-Laying Bolus”, the Grade Four middle-cla.s.s bolus. It is not like making Grade One Fostering Qi Bolus, which only needs to put a certain quant.i.ty of medicinal materials together. Foundation-Laying Bolus takes dozens of medicinal materials, some basic remedies and some spirit herbs as support in total. Besides, their purifying degrees vary and should be put in the alchemy furnace by sequence. One false step will make a great difference. Lin Luoran has learned the lesson from the materials she has wasted.
You can’t know how many times you will fail before successfully making one bolus. The success rate just represents a general situation. When encountering special cases, you can do nothing but feel depressed.
Making Foundation-Laying Bolus is not like making Fostering Qi Bolus. It’s not the deal of putting tons of medicinal materials together and just waiting for solidifying. What Lin Luoran needs now is not b.u.t.terflybush Flower or Seven Stars Gra.s.s, but “Monkey Mushroom”.
When Lin Luoran got two Monkey Mushroom from the old monkey in the secret land, she tried to plant them in the s.p.a.ce. It’s the first time that she realized there is something can’t be done in the s.p.a.ce. Other mushrooms can be transplanted there. But the most important guiding drug of Foundation-Laying Bolus cannot live there.
So with the limited guiding drug, Lin Luoran makes Foundation-Laying Bolus very carefully. But she still fails many times.
Thinking that it’s the only remaining Monkey Mushroom, Lin Luoran is so nervous.
A black smoke erupts from the alchemy furnace. The smell of burning spirit medicine and spirit herb tells her that these valuable things have turned into ashes.
Tired and frustrated, Lin Luoran has no energy to clean the mess and just goes out. Lin’s backyard is very quiet and peaceful. Lin Luoran pa.s.ses by the vegetable patch and unconsciously goes to the Huan island.
Shadows of bamboo are dancing in the breeze, with a small medicinal garden in it. Goldie notices that its owner is approaching, so it flies down directly.
