Chapter 483: One day after seeing each other, one must look at each other with admiration [Please subscribe for a monthly ticket]
Previously, the Fire Dragon Alchemist taught Chu Chen three "pharmaceutical methods", namely lead making, sand making, and mercury making.
I just got the Qingsong True Alchemy Furnace and it came in handy immediately.
Chu Chen put the lead stone ore into the alchemy furnace, used the energy of the sun in his body, and used the [Fire Letter Seal] to control the divine fire to refine it, removing the dross and extracting the essence.
With practice, he went back and carefully studied [Alchemy Experience], and his "lead-making skills" made great progress.
The divine fire in [Fire Seal] is very powerful, and he mastered the temperature of the fire properly. In a short time, he smelted the lead stone spirit ore in the alchemy furnace into real lead. He was quite deft and skillful, which was different from yesterday's clumsiness and unfamiliarity.
sharp contrast.
The Fire Dragon Alchemist sat leisurely on the side of the alchemy room drinking tea, but he still observed his apprentice's medicinal techniques from time to time.
After looking at it, he was quite satisfied. It had made great progress. In terms of the refining techniques, he basically couldn't find any faults.
When he saw the real lead in the alchemy furnace, "the lead was in the shape of black paint and contained five colors", his face showed even more surprise.
This is a vision that only the best “real lead” can have.
The Fire Dragon Alchemist put down his tea cup, with a strange look on his face.
Although "lead making" is the simplest, Chu Chen's progress is too scary.
I just learned it yesterday, and the refining technique was still very clumsy. Overnight, I became much more proficient in the refining technique, and I also mastered the heat. I was able to refine high-quality real lead in one fell swoop. How much understanding is this?
The Fire Dragon Alchemist was frightened by his apprentice and had no intention of drinking tea. He carefully looked at the other more complex medicines prepared by Chu Chen.
After obtaining the "true lead", you can use the true lead to subdue the "cinnabar". Water and fire will be harmonious, men and women will be reversed, and true earth will be born.
Chu Chen followed the same method and refined the "True Soil".
The Fire Dragon Alchemist has been silently observing Chu Chen's refining.
The more complex it is, the easier it is to make mistakes, and the harder it is to control the heat.
As an alchemy master, he has always had very high requirements for his disciples, even strict and meticulous.
However, upon seeing this, the look of surprise on his face became even stronger.
The refining technique of his apprentice Chu Chen is exactly the same as what he taught him. The most important thing is that it is not a deliberate imitation of "craftsmanship" like Sun Soul and Yue Po, but a deep understanding of the essence, adapting to the situation, and mastering the refining method.
vivid.
In the end, the refining result is that the quality of "real soil" is greatly improved, and the impurities contained are minimal.
Even the Fire Dragon Alchemist, who has always been very demanding, had nothing to say after seeing this "True Earth".
Of course, this "real soil" may not be as good as "perfect", and there may be room for improvement.
However, Master Fire Dragon Alchemist knew very well that this was not Chu Chen's fault, but the shackles of his alchemy method.
Disciple Chu Chen's refining technique, his deep-fired true inheritance, is almost the same as his own refining.
The apprentice's progress is too "scary".
Others looked at him with admiration, but his disciple was so good that after just one day and one night, his jaw dropped.
The Fire Dragon Alchemist stopped Chu Chen's "mercury making" and asked:
"Ling Xiao, my teacher saw that you are very accomplished in alchemy, but you were hiding your skills yesterday?"
After saying that, the Fire Dragon Alchemist added: "As I said before, I don't have any sectarian views. It doesn't matter if you have learned alchemy from my master before. There is no need to taboo anything."
Chu Chen shook his head. He entered the Immortal Court. His master, Fire Dragon Alchemist, must know his life history, so he said truthfully:
"Master, I have never learned alchemy from a teacher. I had an epiphany during my practice last night."
The Fire Dragon Alchemist had an epiphany upon hearing this, and immediately became interested and asked:
"Oh, I wonder what the epiphany is? You should tell me about it."
Chu Chen thought about it and said:
"I learned Master's medicine-making method yesterday. I didn't understand the true meaning of it at first, but then I went back to practice, and then I realized that sand-making and inner-alchemy practice have different approaches but the same effect."
"In the practice of inner elixir, the body is used to form the heaven, earth and universe, transport water and fire, use the two qi of yin and yang, and the five elements to form a golden elixir. The same is true for alchemy and medicine. With this understanding, I quickly combined these medicines
I have a thorough understanding of the method and mastered the true meaning of the refining method."
When the Fire Dragon Alchemist heard this, he immediately became interested: "Oh, I wonder what true meaning you have mastered?"
"The technique is a side detail. The really important medicine is the interaction of the two qi of yin and yang. As long as you master the heat, you can refine the high-quality true soil."
Chu Chen has no stage fright at all. This is not only what he understood, but also what he learned from the essay in the "Alchemy Experience" written by the Fire Dragon Alchemist.
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
After hearing Chu Chen's "enlightenment", Fire Dragon Alchemist felt excited. It was an extremely rare thing for his apprentice to gain enlightenment for the first time when he dabbled in "alchemy".
"Successful practice in inner alchemy does not mean that you can refine elixirs well. Everyone knows that inner alchemy is the same as outer alchemy. Everyone knows the truth, but few people can break the barriers and integrate their alchemy skills into it."
In the art of alchemy."
Fire Dragon Alchemist's face was full of emotion:
"You can integrate your knowledge of inner alchemy into alchemy, which means you have extremely high talent for alchemy."
"Master, you taught me well."
Chu Chen is self-aware, and he has some insights, thanks to the [Alchemy Experience] of his master, Fire Dragon Alchemist.
"You don't need to be self-effacing. It has nothing to do with being a teacher. It's because you are talented."
After the Fire Dragon Alchemist finished speaking, he became more and more anxious about taking the exam. At that moment, he and Chu Chen began to discuss Taoism.
From Taoist classics to alchemy, the master and disciple sat down to discuss Taoism, talking about everything.
After some conversation, the Fire Dragon Alchemist became more and more surprised.
His disciple's attainments in alchemy were extremely profound, and many of his insights coincided with his own.
Unknowingly, Master Fire Dragon forgot that he was talking to his "disciple", but instead discussing the Tao with a like-minded "taoist companion".
After a long time, the Fire Dragon Alchemist sighed:
"Ling Xiao, you are a born alchemist!"
"Master is so complimentary."
Chu Chen's mouth was dry, but he had gained a lot and was in a high mood. He immediately remembered the master's promise and said:
"Master, you said that if the exam is satisfactory, you will give me a finished pill recipe. I wonder if you still have it?"
Fire Dragon Alchemist shook his head and said:
"What's the use of just a pill recipe? I'll help you refine the great sword-making pill!"
Chu Chen looked surprised: "Master, how can you help me practice? This method is inherited from the true meaning."
"No problem!"
The Fire Dragon Alchemist waved his hand, quite confidently, and said: "Others can't do it, but you are a natural alchemist. What you lack is the practice of alchemy. I will give you a hand, and you will be responsible for the ritual sacrifice and the key method of combining alchemy.
With your accomplishments, we have a great chance of making a sword elixir by working together as master and apprentice!"
When Chu Chen heard this, he was very happy.
He had had this idea before, but he had no experience in alchemy, so he didn't know if it would work.
Now the alchemy master's master has spoken, which proves that this idea is completely feasible.
All elixirs and magical elixirs must be offered as sacrifices. If they are not offered as sacrifices, they will not work as medicine, and taking them will be useless.
Therefore, the core method of the real elixir is the "Method of Jiao Sacrifice".
This "Method of Jiao Sacrifice" is a true inheritance, and he cannot pass it on.
However, ordinary elixir recipes and alchemy techniques can be left to Master Fire Dragon Alchemist.
"Thank you Master!"
Chu Chen was so excited. He never expected that his master would be willing to help him make elixirs.
This treatment was too high, which made him feel a little flattered.
"No need to be polite."
The Fire Dragon Alchemist waved his hands and was in an inexplicably good mood.
It would be difficult to find a disciple who is so suitable for his alchemy skills.
