Yun Xiangmeng was stunned for a moment, her eyes full of surprise and doubt.
She never thought that that ordinary spirit boy who she had never taken a liking to would become the "alchemy genius" that Mr. Guan called him.
And listening to Mr. Guan's wishes, he had a serious fight with another deputy hall leader in order to compete for Zhao Feng.
Hearing this, Alchemist Yunyao was also slightly stunned. His beautiful eyes fell on Zhao Feng, looking at him with a new look.
In the field of alchemy, Master Yunyao admitted that Mr. Guan was at the top of the sect and was very knowledgeable.
But no matter how she looked at it, she felt that there was nothing special about Zhao Feng. If he was young, some alchemists in this sect world had started studying pharmacology since they were a few years old.
Looking at Princess Yunxiangmeng's expression again, Alchemist Yunyao couldn't help but doubt Mr. Guan's vision.
"Nephew Zhao, have you ever studied alchemy or pharmacology before?"
Alchemist Yunyao asked tentatively.
Alchemy is similar to martial arts practice, both require a certain amount of knowledge and foundation.
"I've never learned anything, I don't know anything."
Zhao Feng did not hide it. Elder Guan and Elder Zhang were both very aware of this situation.
In fact, he was also a little surprised. Why did Mr. Guan and Mr. Zhang fall in love with him at the same time in the third level of the assessment that day?
Don’t know anything?
Yunyao and Yun Xiangmeng were shocked and disbelieving.
A young man with no foundation in medicinal alchemy was actually attracted by the top alchemist of Xiaoyue Sect, and even competed with another top alchemist.
Yun Xiangmeng suddenly felt confused and a little unconvinced.
At least, she didn't admit that she was worse than Zhao Feng.
Yunyao also felt sorry for Princess Xiangyun. Her niece, the princess, had learned alchemy and pharmacology since she was a child, just to prepare for this day.
Thinking of this, Alchemist Yunyao couldn't help but called Mr. Guan aside.
"Mr. Guan, my niece is the contemporary princess of Xiangyun Kingdom. She is of noble birth. She has studied alchemy and pharmacology since she was a child. In terms of qualifications and cultivation, she is far superior to the junior named Zhao..."
Yun Yaoyu had a smile on her face and confidently recommended it to Mr. Guan.
When she thought about it, in what way was her princess niece inferior to Zhao Feng?
In terms of background, Yun Xiangmeng is a princess and is stronger than any other disciple.
In terms of talent and foundation in alchemy and pharmacology, Yunxiangmeng is better than Zhao Feng.
"Haha, Alchemist Yunyao, are you questioning my vision? I am in the sect and have gone through nearly a hundred years of ups and downs. What kind of genius have I not seen?"
Guan Lao smiled and didn't take it seriously.
Regardless of his cultivation and status, he is several times better than Yunyao just based on his age and experience.
Yunyao was immediately speechless.
Indeed, she was so eager to think about her niece that she completely underestimated the experience and vision of Mr. Guan.
In the past hundred years of ups and downs, Mr. Guan has seen too many ups and downs, as well as the rise and fall of countless so-called geniuses.
Maybe there is something unusual about Zhao Feng.
Even though she thought so, Yunyao still felt a little dissatisfied.
She wanted to see what was so special about Zhao Feng.
"Let's see, Zhao Feng, you have just arrived at Cao Mu Tang. You should familiarize yourself with the environment. In the next few days, you will have to read "Preliminary Explanation of Alchemy" and "Danhuo Heart Jue". It would be best if you can understand one or two. In addition,
You follow Alchemist Yunyao and learn the basics of alchemy and pharmacology. There are many related books..."
Mr. Guan quickly assigned tasks to Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng took the "Preliminary Solution to Alchemy" and "Elixir Fire Heart Jue", nodded, and watched Mr. Guan leave.
"Mr. Guan has been refining an important elixir for the past two days. I can answer some common knowledge about elixirs and pharmacology for you."
Yunyao said with a smile, but she did not dare to neglect Zhao Feng.
In this way, Zhao Feng and Princess Yunxiangmeng learned from Yunyao.
"He doesn't even have a basic pharmacological foundation. How can he understand "The Preliminary Solution to Alchemy"? Especially "The Pill Fire Heart Jue", even I find it difficult."
Princess Yunxiangmeng curled her lips with a hint of disdain.
Zhao Feng looked innocent and shook his head helplessly. Didn't he take the initiative to learn alchemy?
Yun Xiangmeng was even more furious. How could this ordinary boy get such good luck?
"Xiang Meng, don't be rude."
Yunyao shouted.
She said to Zhao Feng slightly apologetically: "The basis of alchemy is very complicated. First of all, you have to remember the pharmacological properties of various materials. Only on this basis can you extract the essence from them. As we know,
In Yuezong, every alchemist must read it thoroughly and even memorize the "Illustrated Book of Plants and Trees" at the entry level."
Yun Xiangmeng on the side was shocked after hearing this. It was easier said than done to memorize the "Illustrated Book of All Spirits of Plants and Trees".
This illustrated book records all kinds of strange and tens of thousands of alchemy materials in the world.
Generally, an alchemist can only remember a rough idea after more than ten years of experience.
Even Princess Yunxiangmeng has only read the "Illustrated Book of Plants and Trees" and only memorized two to three thousand common pharmacological properties and properties of materials.
What is the purpose of the aunt's suggestion to Zhao Feng to read the "Illustrated Book of All Spirits of Plants and Trees"?
An idea flashed in Yun Xiangmeng's mind, and she quickly understood.
She pursed her lips with a smile, and when this kid saw the "Illustrated Book of All Spirits of Plants and Trees" and the endless combination of materials, pharmacology and properties, he would definitely give up.
"Thank you, senior, for reminding me."
Zhao Feng had no doubt that he was there.
Swish! Swish! Swish...
Zhao Feng first quickly flipped through "Initial Interpretation of Alchemy" and "Elixir of Fire Heart Jue".
After a while, Zhao Feng imprinted the contents of the two books into his mind.
Among them, "Preliminary Explanation of Alchemy", he had a rough understanding of it, something that could be deeply imprinted in his mind and easier to understand. What's more, Zhao Feng's comprehension and analysis ability at this time were much stronger than those of geniuses of the same age.
On the other hand, Zhao Feng felt that the "Elixir Fire Heart Technique" was a bit difficult, probably close to the difficulty of a low-level ordinary skill.
However, the most important obstacle is Zhao Feng's lack of knowledge about alchemy and pharmacology.
"It seems that Alchemist Yunyao is right."
Zhao Feng really went to find the "Illustrated Book of All Spirits of Plants and Trees".
This illustrated book is relatively precious in Xiaoyue Sect, and ordinary outer disciples are definitely not qualified to read it.
However, with the help of Alchemist Yunyao, this is not difficult.
Zhao Feng quickly got the "Illustrated Book of Plants and Trees" and was immediately startled.
The entire illustrated book is enough to fill a car.
There is a large amount of pictorial and textual information in the illustrated book, including the pharmacology and properties of each material, which is all kinds of strange and complex.
Zhao Feng said nothing and quickly flipped through the "Illustrated Book of Plants and Spirits".
This move shocked Yunyao's aunt and nephew.
"Senior nephew Zhao Feng, don't be too impatient. Ordinary geniuses will not be able to fully understand this illustrated book in just a few years."
Yunyao laughed dumbly.
Zhao Feng ignored them and flipped through the pages quickly, as if he wanted to eat the "Illustrated Book of All Spirits of Plants and Trees".
Seeing Zhao Feng's "anxious" look, Yunyao and Yun Xiangmeng smiled at each other with a hint of contempt in their eyes.
Half an hour later.
Phew~
Zhao Feng took a long breath and returned the "Illustrated Book of Plants and Trees" with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
After reading the "Illustrated Book of Plants and Trees", Zhao Feng gained a lot of knowledge. He had never heard of some strange and bizarre materials in the illustrated book.
The effects of some of the legendary heaven and earth spiritual creatures have reached an almost heaven-defying level.
For example, Zhao Feng saw a kind of "Xuan Tian Spiritual Root" that could directly lift an ordinary spirit person to the limit of the spirit body, and even break through to the level of the earth and heaven spirit bodies.
There are also all kinds of strange spiritual creatures in heaven and earth, such as a "Thousand-Snow Grass" that can make people sleep for thousands of years and their bodies will remain immortal; or there is some kind of magical "ancient divine blood" that can allow humans to return to ancient times and possess ancient races.
, and even the blood power of the gods evolved into an immortal body with three heads and six arms...
In short, the "Illustrated Book of Plants and Spirits" brought Zhao Feng into contact with a vaster and more exciting world, so much so that he felt that the sect he was in now seemed to be just a small corner of the real world stage.
"Thank you, Senior Yun, for making me aware of such a vast and wonderful world."
Zhao Feng's face was still glowing red and he replaced the illustrated book.
Yunyao looked strange. She didn't expect Zhao Fengfeng to return the "Illustrated Book of Plants and Spirits" so quickly.
"Don't you take a closer look?"
Yunyao thought he was retreating due to difficulties, but looking at Zhao Feng's expression, it didn't look like that.
“You’ll be satisfied after just one look.”
Zhao Feng smiled and didn't explain much.
After all, it would take at least ten years for an ordinary alchemist to memorize the "Illustrated Book of All Spirits of Plants and Trees".
Next two days.
Zhao Feng quickly analyzed the contents of the "Illustrated Book of Plants and Trees" and gained a preliminary understanding of the pharmacological use of these materials and their use in alchemy.
On this basis, he came back to read "The Preliminary Explanation of Alchemy" and found that the principle is so simple.
As for the more difficult "Pan Fire Heart Art", Zhao Feng also understood it roughly. The reason why he could not fully understand it was mainly because this heart art involved the actual application in alchemy.
Two days later, Zhao Feng got some books on alchemy knowledge through Yun Yao, imprinted them on his mind one by one, and quickly analyzed them.
When encountering some problems, Zhao Feng also asked Yunyao.
Yunyao was slightly disdainful at first, but then she was surprised. Some of the questions raised by Zhao Feng were not as profound as those of a newcomer who had just come into contact with alchemy, and were even far better than some apprentices who had been in the industry for a few years.
While learning and comprehending, Zhao Feng was like a sponge, absorbing water quickly and violently.
Time passes unconsciously.
On this day, Zhao Feng suddenly thought of something.
"No! Today is the time for me to challenge the 'Monsoon Cloud'."
Zhao Feng's expression tightened.
Immediately, Zhao Feng asked Yunyao and Old Man Guan for instructions.
"Challenge the candidate inner disciples?"
Yunyao was surprised and cast a questioning look at Yun Xiangmeng.
Princess Yunxiangmeng nodded slightly, she also knew about this.
"It's just nonsense! You have average qualifications in cultivation, so it's far better to focus on alchemy."
Old man Guan seemed to hate that iron could not become steel.
Zhao Feng, a new entry disciple with average qualifications, went to challenge the candidate inner disciples, but no one was optimistic about him.
Old Man Guan thought that Zhao Feng would become his disciple in the future, and he didn't want him to go out and embarrass himself.
"First, I have confidence in this challenge. Second, I have basically learned what the seniors have taught me in the past few days."
Zhao Feng did not give in.
Are you confident?
Old Man Guan almost blew his beard out of anger. His eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "You just said that you have basically learned what I have taught you these past few days?"
"That's right."
Zhao Feng is very confident.
"Shameless talk!"
Old Man Guan snorted coldly, obviously not believing it: "I'll ask a few questions. If you can answer them, no one will stop you from this challenge."
