Chapter 476: A little understanding of Yidiandian [Please subscribe for a monthly ticket]
If someone had not understood the "Experiences of Alchemy Refining" and someone gave Chu Chen useless elixirs, he would probably have cursed in his heart.
However, at this moment, he had no such intention at all.
The elixir of enlightenment that helps people live forever is no trivial matter. It is estimated that Master Fire Dragon Pill Master spent several months, or even years, to refine it.
Even if it is a waste elixir, it is an extremely precious treasure.
Senior Brother Sunhun and Senior Sister Yuepo knew it with their envious eyes.
"Thank you Master for the reward!"
Chu Chen took the elixir generously.
Senior Brother Rihun has a square appearance and a kind and honest temper. When he saw Chu Chen taking the elixir, he was afraid that he would not understand it, so he immediately explained to him:
"Junior brother Chu, congratulations. Although this elixir is a useless elixir and has not been refined into a fifth-level elixir, it is a genuine fourth-level elixir. It's just that the quality of the elixir is a little lower. It has been polluted by the evil spirits of heaven and earth.
There is a bit too much erysipelas, but if you can digest it, dissolve the erysipelas, and exterminate the inner demons, you will be able to step into the fifth level of Taoism and become a strong person in an instant."
Senior Sister Yuepo smiled like a crescent moon: "Junior Brother Chu is young and has successfully practiced inner elixirs. There is no need to risk taking the Great Pill of Enlightenment. However, if you sell this elixir, junior brother, I'm afraid it will cause countless people to rob it."
When Chu Chen heard this, he suddenly understood the value of the elixir.
The Immortal Path is elusive, and there are very few monks who can really achieve anything. Most monks are stuck in the lower third level, and the seventh level is the peak.
For example, Huang Fugui's goal is to practice the seventh level of Taoism. In the future, he will accumulate merits, transfer to Shinto, and eventually become a ghost and god.
Swallowing an elixir can make you a powerful person of the fifth level. Even if eight to nine times out of ten you will die, there will probably be countless gambling dogs going crazy about it and flocking to seek the elixir.
Master Fire Dragon Alchemy was quite satisfied when he saw his disciples chatting and chatting harmoniously, and said to Chu Chen:
"This elixir is a poisonous elixir. If you sell it to harm people, it will damage your reputation as a teacher. However, if you can refine the sword-making elixir, this useless elixir can come in handy."
While joking, the Fire Dragon Alchemist took Chu Chen, Rihun Yuepo and his entourage to the Xiuzhu Garden in the valley, and handed over the chaotic alchemy room to Mr. Hu, the Dharma Protector General, and the Taoist soldiers to clean it up.
Green cypresses and bamboos, water trees and clear flowers, pavilions and pavilions, give it a unique elegance.
The four masters and disciples sat down one after another, and the Fire Dragon Alchemist asked with great interest:
"Disciple, how much do you know about alchemy? What are your attainments?"
Chu Chen was not surprised at all when his master took the exam.
He had previewed the lessons. No matter how profound his attainments were, he must have entered the alchemist's door. He only lacked experience in alchemy.
However, Chu Chen naturally couldn't brag about Dharma Luo.
Not to mention being humble, you still have to have a proper attitude of humility.
So, he chose a conservative statement:
"Master, I have taught myself alchemy before, but I don't have much attainment. I only know a little bit."
When Sun Soul and Moon Soul heard that their junior brother said that he was not good at alchemy, their faces showed signs of joy.
now it's right.
The worse your alchemy skills are, the better.
The two of them practiced alchemy with their master all day long. They were watched by the master all the time, scolded and criticized every day, and their ears were calloused by the scolding.
Now that the junior apprentice has started, the master will definitely focus on the junior apprentice while practicing alchemy. By keeping an eye on the junior apprentice's homework, they will be able to steal some leisure and live a relaxed life that they could not imagine before.
Especially for Yue Po, her alchemy skills are not as good as those of her senior brother Sun Soul. She was the one who was reprimanded the most in the past, and she suffered terribly.
Looking back on the past, it was a bitter tear.
Junior Brother Chu, you are truly my savior.
In Yue Po's heart, at this moment, his junior brother Chu Chen's status was directly matched by that of Taiyi Great Heavenly Lord who had rescued people in distress.
The Fire Dragon Alchemist didn't know what his disciples were thinking. When Chu Chen said that he had learned alchemy on his own, he immediately became interested.
When a disciple is just getting started, it is natural for him to get a feel for it first so that he can teach according to his aptitude and arrange for follow-up teaching.
"Yes, then as a teacher, you have to take an exam to see how good your alchemy skills are?"
"Please master, please give me some advice!"
Chu Chen saluted respectfully.
The Fire Dragon Alchemist nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and said:
"Then let's start with the external elixirs and proceed from the shallower to the deeper. I would like to ask you, what are the Eight Stones?"
Chu Chen pondered for a while and replied:
"Eight stones is the general name for eight kinds of stone medicine. Each school and school has different classifications. There is a popular saying that the eight stones are basa, yuesha, realgar, orpiment, zengqing, alumite, and magnetite."
"The other eight-stone medicines are slightly different, and their explanations are varied, but they remain unchanged. The eight-stone medicine is made from the energy in the sky and formed in the earth and stone."
"The essence of heaven and earth in the eight stones loves yin and fears yang. It flies when encountering fire. Its shape retains its essence, which has the supreme magical effect of the heaven and earth being extremely strong and the sun and moon lasting together."
Chu Chen talked eloquently.
After practicing alchemy, he also gained a new understanding of external alchemy, breaking his previous understanding that alchemy was just refining poison.
In the last life, in the Age of Ending Dharma, spiritual energy did not exist, heavenly materials and earthly treasures could not be produced, and gold and stone were just gold and stone, which could not be refined to help the Taoist become an immortal. The alchemist could not refine the real elixir in his entire life.
In this world, gold and stone medicines such as lead and mercury, which are created by heaven and earth, contain the essence of heaven and earth. They are a combination of natural creation and contain the elixir of immortality. It is no longer a daydream for alchemists to refine elixirs.
The Fire Dragon Alchemist nodded slightly and continued to ask:
"What is mercury?"
Chu Chen blurted out:
"Mercury contains the Qi of Taiyin. The elixir is white cinnabar treasure. It is a natural bud that nourishes the Qi and calms the soul. The cinnabar is burned into mercury, and the accumulation changes and turns back into cinnabar. It has a great mystery of creation. The alchemist seizes the good fortune and refines it into a spiritual elixir.
It can make people live longer and rejuvenate, and its synonyms include more than 50 different names, such as Maiden, Xuanshui, Liuzhu, Xuanzhu, Changshengzi, Xuanshui Longpao, etc."
The Fire Dragon Alchemist nodded with satisfaction and took out a vine from his sleeve.
"What is this?"
Chu Chen took a closer look and recognized it:
"This thing is Wanwenlong bud, also known as usnea and female rhizome. It is mostly parasitic on pine spiritual plants. It is sweet and non-toxic. It can be used to make cinnabar. According to "Chunyang Luzhen Medicine and Stone System",
When the cinnabar is brewed into a powerful medicine, the chickens and ducks will turn into phoenixes. Master, the Ten Thousand Wenlong Buds in your hands is a thousand-year-old elixir. If it is made into a powerful medicine, it may have the magical effect of turning chickens and ducks into phoenixes.
.”
"good eyesight!"
The Fire Dragon Alchemist couldn't help but applaud. The previous question was just a basic skill in alchemy. As long as you read a lot of books, you can master it, but identifying the elixir is another matter.
Not only does it require profound knowledge, but also good eyesight in order to play calmly, quickly and accurately.
He originally thought that this half-monk disciple was not good at alchemy, so he was ready to train him patiently.
Unexpectedly, the new apprentice’s basic skills were so profound.
Found a treasure.
The Fire Dragon Alchemist became more energetic and became more and more curious about Chu Chen's skills.
"What is this?"
"This is water essence. Different varieties include water jade, plain jade girl Yinhua, Bai Su Feilong, etc. Water essence nourishes cinnabar."
"What about this?"
"This is"
The two masters and disciples asked and answered questions, including identifying heretic medicines and explaining the theory of alchemy. Chu Chen answered all questions fluently.
After asking about it, the Fire Dragon Alchemist saw that his apprentice had good alchemy skills, and even asked specific questions about making medicine and alchemy.
Chu Chen can also answer one or two questions.
During the question and answer period, the smile on Master Fire Dragon's face grew thicker and thicker.
However, the smiles on the faces of Senior Brother Sunhun and Senior Sister Yuepo, who were standing by, gradually disappeared, and they felt something bad.
Junior brother, do you know a little bit?
The two people, Sun, Soul, and Moon, felt very anxious. The younger brother's basic skills in alchemy were not low, and the good days they imagined seemed to be shortened.
