Chapter 18 Learning from each other
“Bang bang bang!”
Meng Zifan's door kept hearing deafening knocks. He couldn't settle down to practice, let alone refine elixirs, so he had to walk out again.
"I asked you whether it's annoying or not. I said I don't have time. Your Medicine Refining Pavilion is full of talented people. You can't find geniuses who can explore experience anywhere. Why do you need to target me?" Meng Zifan was really angry, and his tone was quite dissatisfied.
.
"They are them, and you are you. If they can also refine ordinary medicinal materials into second-level elixirs, I will not come to you. Just say whether you agree or not. If you disagree, do you believe what I say?
From now on, no one will dare to sell you medicinal materials, and no one will even think about making elixirs again."
Meng Zifan was irritated. It was obvious that this was the eldest lady who came from nowhere. Anyone else would have relented, but it was Meng Zifan who met him.
"Go if you can. At worst, I will go outside the sect to buy medicinal materials. I don't believe that you can control all the medicinal materials in the world." Meng Zifan closed the door again, and Yan Xue kept stamping his feet in anger, and finally had no choice but to do so.
After leaving, Meng Zifan began to practice with peace of mind.
The resources for cultivation were often exhausted inadvertently. Meng Zifan had no choice but to call Ji Yaxuan and start the elixir business again. But today, Meng Zifan discovered that no one came to buy elixirs from him. After thinking about it, he
Now I understand, it must be the fault of the woman from before.
"How's it going? Do you have time now?" Yan Xue suddenly appeared and looked at Meng Zifan with a smile and said.
"I asked you, are you bothered? Why are you targeting me? I have a grudge against your Medicine Refining Pavilion? Why are everyone here looking for trouble?"
"Whatever you say, as long as you agree to discuss the art of alchemy with me, not only will those people come to buy your elixirs, but I can also help you promote it as the Alchemy Pavilion." Yan Xue smiled proudly.
, the other party did not say anything bad, and she was still a woman. Although she was angry, Meng Zifan was a little helpless. Ji Yaxuan was not so easy to talk, and she would never speak if she could take action. She was about to draw her sword, but was stopped by Meng Zifan again.
"Okay, tell me how you want to communicate."
"Why are there all these troubles like this? I plan to discuss it with you first. Let's find an elixir that no one has seen before and refine the elixir together to see who can refine the elixir with better quality. If I win
, just tell me the secret of refining second-level elixirs from ordinary medicinal materials, and if I lose, I will never bother you again."
Meng Zifan nodded and agreed directly. Yan Xue happily took out a prescription and handed one to Meng Zifan.
"This is a new elixir, Purple Fire Pill, developed by my uncle. No one has refined it except my uncle. It is a second-level elixir. I have prepared all the medicinal materials. Here it is!"
Yan Xue threw over a package, which contained the medicinal materials needed to refine the elixir. Meng Zifan glanced at the elixir recipe, took his own medicine furnace, and sat down without saying a word to prepare the elixir.
"Aren't you going to study it more carefully?"
"No need, let's get started. No matter who wins or loses, don't bother me anymore."
Yan Xue nodded and said yes. The two of them started the furnace at the same time, put the medicinal materials into the furnace in proportion and began to refine the medicine. Yan Xue was already in the blood-melting realm and could easily refine the second-level elixir, while Meng Zifan had the soul in his body.
His guidance and alchemy skills are even rarer.
The two of them condensed the medicinal liquid almost at the same time. In ordinary medicine refining methods, the medicinal liquid needs to be solid after condensation. This is so that the elixir will not break easily when it is made into a pill. But Meng Zifan actually skipped this step directly, and the medicinal liquid was directly
Begin to condense and proceed to the final step of elixir formation.
Yan Xue was a little stunned. He had only seen this method of alchemy from those great pharmacists. She had watched her grandfather make alchemy more than once. This method requires extremely strong strength. But Meng Zifan seemed to be very
It was light, and soon the aroma of the medicine spread, as if it was about to be baked.
"Impossible, I just finished solidification. How did he do it?" Yan Xue was a little anxious and almost failed to control the heat to explode the furnace. Meng Zifan looked at her with a smile, then waved his hand, and the furnace lid flew up.
, ten pills flew into the palm of his hand, and then were put into the jade bottle.
"Hmph, quick elixir production does not necessarily mean good quality. In the end, it is the quality of the elixir. Let me give you a good look." Yan Xue took his time and finally completed the last step. The same ten elixirs were loaded in.
In the jade bottle.
"The next step is to find someone to judge the quality of the elixir. Who do you think is suitable?" Meng Zifan said with a smile.
"Now that I have thought of this method, I have naturally found a suitable appraiser. Brother Feng, I hope you can give me a review." Yan Xue smiled, and a man came out. This man looked polite and well-dressed.
He is also quite simple, different from others, more like an ordinary person. Although his aura is not calm and restrained, he should be a good alchemist.
"This is my senior brother Fengyu, the master of the alchemy pavilion. Everyone knows his sudden name," Yan Xue said to the people watching around him.
"Of course I know that there are many people who don't know the name of Senior Brother Fengyu. Not only is Senior Brother Fengyu's talent in refining medicine amazing, he is also famous for his integrity. He will never say anything against his will just because of the world's sophistication." Someone said at this time.
Meng Zifan nodded. Since this person can be recognized by everyone, he is the perfect judge. Fengyu nodded to him, took the two pill bottles, took out one pill each and observed it.
"Junior Sister Yan Xue's elixir has reached the second level and can be said to be quite perfect. Even I can't do much better." After observing for a while, Feng Yu gave his own evaluation. At this time
Yan Xue raised his head and looked at Meng Zifan provocatively, as if he was a "villain who succeeds".
"However, I can only describe the elixir refined by this junior brother as amazed. Such elixir refining methods can be said to be rare. With all due respect, even with my current elixir refining methods, I cannot refine such a high-level elixir."
Purple Fire Pill. In this competition, this junior brother is definitely better."
Yan Xue's face collapsed at that time. She didn't believe that Meng Zifan could refine an elixir that was higher than hers. Doesn't that mean that this elixir was already a top elixir?
"Senior Brother Feng, are you reading that right? How is this possible? He is just a new disciple. I am afraid he has never learned the knowledge of systematic alchemy refining. How can he be able to refine elixirs that are more advanced than mine?"
"Junior sister, don't you still believe my brother's words? Look carefully."
Fengyu handed Meng Zifan's elixir to her. After she observed it carefully, her expression suddenly became extremely ugly.
"What's going on? I don't see any difference between these two elixirs, and their fragrances are almost the same." Many people in the crowd expressed such doubts.
"Let me explain to you. First-order elixirs and second-order elixirs are actually very easy to refine. As long as you have the talent to refine elixirs, you can successfully refine them with hard work. Third-order elixirs are for beginners. There is a hurdle, because the third-level elixir requires inscriptions to be carved on the elixir to enhance the efficacy of the elixir. There are already obvious elixir patterns on the purple fire elixir refined by this junior brother. If you practice diligently over time, , it is not difficult to refine third-level elixirs after your own realm is strong enough. And being able to carve inscriptions on second-level elixirs without destroying the efficacy of the elixirs can be said to be a miraculous skill, even if it is me. Challenge, and you can only accept defeat."
After listening to Fengyu's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that there was already a lot of discussion among the crowd, and Meng Zifan's name was probably going to be completely famous in this market.
Yan Xue's expression was a little dull. She had forgotten about the competition and turned around to walk in the direction of the Medicine Refining Pavilion. Feng Yu hugged Meng Zifan and quickly chased after him, preparing to enlighten the junior sister. Without Yan Xue's troubles , Meng Zifan's place also reopened, and this time the sales of elixirs were even more popular, and some even almost started taking action because of the purchase of elixirs.
In half a month, Meng Zifan was either refining medicine or selling medicine, and it can be said that he gained a lot. Originally, he wanted to enter the library to find some martial arts skills, but he needed sect points to enter the library.
"Senior brother, I would like to ask, how to obtain these points?" Meng Zifan asked the guard.
"It's simple. You can get it by making contributions to the sect, or by going to the mission hall to receive corresponding tasks. You can also exchange it with yuan stones, but the points are too important. I'm afraid not many people will exchange their points for yuan stones. In the end, The conservative approach is to do the task.”
menu .
"Hello, I want to take a mission. Are there any missions suitable for me?" Meng Zifan asked the deacon when he came to the mission hall.
"Eighth level of bone forging? Nephew, it's not that I won't assign tasks to you. The tasks in the task hall must at least be in the blood-melting realm. You'd better seize the time to practice and reach the blood-melting realm as soon as possible." The deacon looked at Meng Zifan and smiled. He smiled, this is the first time that a disciple in the bone forging stage comes here to receive a mission.
"Uncle Master, I urgently need some points. Please see if there are any tasks that I can take on. I can do it according to my ability. If not, I will come back. I won't act out of anger." With that, a bag of Yuan Stones was presented, and then The deacon calmly put away the Yuan stones. This bag probably contained several hundred Yuan stones, which was considered a small fortune for him.
"Seeing that you are so sincere, I will show it to you." The deacon got the Yuan Stone and looked at it carefully. Soon he took out two scrolls and placed them in front of Meng Zifan.
"You can try these two. The first mission is to suppress bandits. This is a remote area under the jurisdiction of the sect, but it is rich in a kind of medicinal materials. Many merchants will go there to buy medicinal materials. And there is a group of bandits there. The bandit leader seems to be a warrior in the Blood Melt Realm. This bandit group is very cunning. They have sent people several times but they have escaped. You can go and take a look."
"The second mission is to collect medicine, Ice Silkworm Poison Glass, an elixir for refining fourth-level elixirs. It grows in the Futu Mountains, and both missions are in the west. Poisonous insects are rampant there, and it is not a blood-melting realm. Above, it's difficult to survive there. These two tasks are already the easiest ones. Each task has 100 points, you choose one."
The deacon pushed the two scrolls in front of Meng Zifan and let Meng Zifan choose.
"I want to do both tasks." Meng Zifan said with a smile.
"you sure?"
"Sure, uncle, just help me register. If I can't do one, I can try the next one. If they are beyond my capabilities, I will naturally do what I can and stop at the right time."
"Well, don't blame me for not reminding you. These two tasks are life-threatening for you now. You must do it according to your ability." After registering, the deacon gave him the task token.
After Meng Zifan thanked the other party again, he turned around and returned to his residence. He did not realize that someone had been watching him secretly at this time, and it was a member of the Baili family. Since the Jinhong Sword Sect lowered its standards for accepting disciples, the four major families have
Someone has been successfully selected.
