Chapter 2 What is Alchemy (Part 1)

"Gemen? Is it a noble family? But I have never heard of it. Is there a family named Ge on the three continents..."

One old and one young, he talked about his own, and no one could explain the mystery in his heart to the other party. After only half a day, Ge Zheng figured it out. Obviously, this was not the world he had existed before.

Ge Zheng is not difficult to understand these mysterious things. The alchemists pursue immortality and practice internal and external elixirs at the same time. They yearn for another world that is impermanent. With these foundations, Ge Zheng will be much more easily accepted when he understands this world.

"Accept me as an apprentice?" Ge Zheng looked at the old man in front of him with a lot of fun: This old man is not a strong man, I am an outstanding disciple of the Ge sect, the most famous alchemist in the alchemist world. The old man is an alchemist, and he actually wants to accept me as a student?

Although Ge Zheng has lived in the mountain gate for twenty years, he is not ignorant of the outside world. Of course he knows what alchemy is. The classics in the Ge Gate also record that Western alchemy was deeply influenced by Oriental alchemy. If the Arabs had not introduced Chinese alchemy ideas to Europe, European alchemists would have been simply pursuing the purification of "base metal" into gold.

"Cough cough..." Ge Zheng coughed and decided to follow the teachings of his senior experts, respect the elderly and love the young, and not to refute the face of the old man too much. "Old man, I think the difference between teachers and students cannot be just based on age. The so-called master is the teacher..."

"What does it mean?" Palachersus asked with a frown.

"That means that anyone who is good is better will be a teacher."

Paracelsus raised his white eyebrows and almost laughed: This ignorant boy actually wants to challenge me Paracelsus' authority! He pointed at Doudou suddenly: "I refined it, can you do it?"

"This..." Ge Zheng was in a dilemma. After all, alchemy was somewhat different from the Eastern alchemy path, and its development direction and focus were even greater. Ge's strength was not about refining demons and creatures. He could not do it if Ge Zheng refines a living monster with blood, flesh and soul.

"Hmph!" Parachelsus snorted coldly and made up his mind that this kid would give in and become a disciple. Parachelsus had a gentle personality, but his authority was beyond doubt. Ge Zheng's courage to challenge his position in the alchemy world really made him very angry.

"Although I can't refine such a life, I think you can't do some things I can refine."

The old man's stubborn temper came up and said angrily: "If I can't do it, I will take you as my teacher!" Ge Zheng smiled and said, "Don't, I can't bear it at such an old age!" Parachelsus was half dead, and the tone of this guy seemed to have won. He barely suppressed his anger: "Okay, what do you think you should do?"

Ge Zheng's eyes rolled: "If I win, tell me how this little beast was refined. Ouch..." It turned out that Miss Doudou was dissatisfied with his name and scratched him hard.

"no problem!"

Ge Zheng was really naked, and he didn't even have a piece of clothing on his body. There were rich materials in Parachelsus' warehouse. Although Ge Zheng didn't know most of the things, some metals were still very similar to those on the earth. He chose a few ore, thought about it, and began to refine a magic weapon.

Although the materials were good, he did not have jade in his hand. When he set up the formation, his power was much worse. However, after three days, he could barely refine a pretty satisfactory work.

What alchemists pursue is the "Big Way". They usually specialize in the cultivation of inner elixirs, while the outer elixirs are just auxiliary, which is different from ordinary cultivators. Most of them do not participate in the struggles in the cultivation world, so they rarely refine magic weapons except for some self-defense magic weapons.

Ge Zheng took the time to make a wooden box. The surface was engraved with exquisite vines and patterns. The small and delicate dagger was placed in the box, and it suddenly looked extraordinary. He gently held it with his palm, and the small dagger slashed into a rainbow light and rose up. His palm circled, and the dagger made a clear roar, flying up and down around Ge Zheng. He pointed with his hand, and the rainbow light came out through the window and circled around a big tree behind the house. The lush tree collapsed with a bang, the green leaves quickly blew hard, the trunks decayed, and they were already lifeless.

Ge Zheng was very surprised: The spiritual power of this world is much more abundant than that on the earth, and the "animal" collected on such a big tree is twice as high as on the earth!

In fact, this method of "making tools" is extreme. The alchemists' cultivation of inner alchemy not only requires themselves to breathe, but also to adopt the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon to absorb the energy of all living things. In the alchemists' view, the aura of living is a good medicine to continue life and immortality. However, the alchemists absorb the aura of plants, trees, birds and beasts, and only take a little at a time. This is not only beneficial to themselves, but also helps the metabolism of creatures. It is a win-win situation. Just like a person who donates blood regularly extracts a small amount of blood, which is beneficial to health and can also help patients.

In order to show the strength of his magic weapon to Parachelusus, Ge Zheng sucked away the vital energy of the big tree at one time. The vital energy of the big tree was gone and naturally withered. This is also a means of attack by the alchemist. When conquering some monsters, when the magic weapon was released, it absorbed most of the vital energy of the vital monsters. What strength does the monster have to resist?

Parachelsus was stunned. The wonder of Dongfabao had exceeded his understanding. He really could not imitate Ge Zheng's "works"...

However, the old man would never give up. The name of the world's number one alchemist in the refining world is not a false reputation. Parachelussus smacked his lips: "I can't imitate your things, let's tie this time. Let's continue!" Ge Zheng smiled and said without hesitation: "No problem."

The old and the young were riveted. For his reputation, Paracelsus could not give up. Ge Zheng was young and strong, but refused to admit defeat. After three months, Paracelsus' raw material warehouse shrank severely, and the house was filled with alchemy results of two people. Paracelsus made a space ring and put all these results into the storage ring. Ge Zheng was not outdone, and refined a square inch of money. In front of Paracelsus, he stuffed dozens of his works into the square hole of money. The old and the young were blowing their beards and staring at each other for a while, and each of them was planning what kind of artifacts to refine.
