The road to alchemy is not just about controlling the temperature of elixirs, but also involves understanding the properties of elixirs, how to mix elixirs, as well as planting, collecting, sorting, and refining elixirs, and even controlling the planting environment and soil conditions.
improvement, identification of the material of the alchemy cauldron, adjustment of the alchemy furnace formation, and a series of related knowledge.
Emperor Dan has decided to let Xia Yu inherit his mantle. Xia Yu's teachings must be comprehensive, and all aspects of knowledge must be learned by Xia Yu.
The so-called learning is not as simple as memorizing it, but also being able to understand and apply it.
Emperor Dan once said to Xia Yu that being his disciple was more tiring than being his slave. Xia Yu didn't take it seriously at first, but during this time, it seemed that Emperor Dan really wasn't lying to him. Jingtian
Each of those Danu only needs to complete their own tasks, but Xia Yu needs to learn to do everything again, or even do it many times, which is indeed much more tiring than those Danu.
Under such conditions, if Xia Yu wanted to compress time and finish learning what was originally planned to be thirty years in eight years, it would not be an easy task.
After thinking about it, Xia Yu said to Dan Emperor: "Master, I still want to try, maybe I can do it."
"Hmph! Be ambitious!"
Emperor Dan thought that Xia Yu was just a temporary interest, so he sarcastically said, "Since you think it's possible, then try it! Let's start from today! But I've said it beforehand. If you can't do it, don't do it."
If you have other thoughts again, you should study hard for thirty years before talking about anything else! It is not a good habit to aim too high!"
"Yes, disciple understands."
In the days that followed, conversations like this often occurred in the Dan Emperor's Cave.
One day, Danujia found Xia Yu and said, "Young Master, I asked you to go with me to turn over the soil on the east side of the medicine garden."
Xia Yu: "I know."
... Xia Yu has just returned, and Dan Nuyi is already waiting at Lingquan Xiaozhu, "Young Master, Mu Xuan Leng Xinping is ripe, and the master wants you to harvest it."
Xia Yu: "Okay, go right away."
... Mu Xuan Leng Xinping hasn't finished harvesting, but Danubing has already come over: "Young Master, I want you to go directly to the drying field in the back mountain later. Some elixirs have been dried and will be stored in the warehouse today.
"
Xia Yu: "Okay."
...After processing and preserving the elixir, it was already the zenith of the moon. Danudin led Xia Yu to a room, "Young Master, the master asked you to refine these medicinal materials today."
Looking at the mountains of elixirs piled up in the house, Xia Yu looked at the moonlight and said, "Today?"
"Uh... Young Master, what Master means is before dawn..." Xia Yu sighed depressedly, "I know..."... The next day, Danujia came over early in the morning, "Young Master...
..."...The third day...the fourth day...In the alchemy room, seeing Xia Yu coming in a hurry, Alchemy Emperor secretly smiled in his heart, but on the surface he said with a straight face, "Xiao Yu, you are late."
Xia Yu saluted, "Master, please forgive me, I was delayed for a while at the medicine garden..." Alchemy Emperor snorted, "Today I will make alchemy for my master, and you will control the fire."
"ah?"
Xia Yu was shocked.
"Ah what?"
Alchemy Emperor's face was stern, "Today we are going to refine Xuan-level elixirs. Can't you even control fire?"
"This... let me try."
Xia Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, of course he could make elixirs and control the fire by himself, but controlling the fire for the Alchemy Emperor... it was a bit stressful!... Two days later, looking at the eight high-grade elixirs in front of him, the Alchemy Emperor nodded slightly, "It's been such a long time.
, I only got eight useful ones... it means you still lack practice!"
"Oh..." Xia Yu leaned on the legs of the chair and responded feebly.
Just kidding, he can't keep up with the pace of Alchemy Emperor's alchemy refining! Moreover, Alchemy Emperor's requirements are very high. It's not enough to just make an elixir, but it must be of high quality. Xia Yu has been working non-stop for the past two days to stimulate his internal energy. This is already the third time.
Twenty-three furnaces of pills. If it fails again, Xia Yu will no longer be able to hold on.
"Don't sleep!"
Emperor Dan looked at Xia Yu with very satisfied eyes, but his words were still unceremonious, "I've only been here for the past two days. You've delayed a lot of work. Hurry up and find Jingtian and the others to make up for it!"
Xia Yujian's eyelids almost closed, "Master... I haven't slept for five days..." Dan Emperor snorted, "You said you wanted to use one day as three days, and now you regret it?
"
"No regrets!"
Xia Yu struggled to sit up, "I'll go right away!"
"Forget it..." Alchemy Emperor flicked his hand, and a freshly made elixir flew into Xia Yu's mouth, "I'll give you an hour to rest, and then go again."
"Thank you, Master..." Xia Yu lay directly on the ground and fell asleep instantly.
...the sun and the moon fly by.
Time flowed by like water. Xia Yu's life was simple and fulfilling. Although he was as tired as a dog every day, he miraculously persisted. His resilience surprised not only Jingtian and others, but also
Even Emperor Dan couldn't help but be moved.
The situation in the entire Xuantian Continent seems to be very calm. There are no eye-catching events. There are no peak duels between masters, and there are no earth-shattering treasures. Although there are constant small conflicts between sects, there are still big conflicts.
There was no conflict, and the city lords and generals who held the power seemed to be very responsible, and no large-scale mercenaries occurred.
But those powerful men with broad vision have a string of tension in their hearts, because in the seemingly calm situation, the surging undercurrent has never stopped. Although the royal capital is nominally in charge of the entire world, the civil servants and military generals have secretly formed
Several groups have joined together, and due to the decline of the royal family, the struggle for power in the court is in full swing.
What’s even more heart-stopping is the human heart.
Everyone seems to have unanimously come up with a dangerous idea. After the change of Xia Capital, is it still necessary for the Xia Dynasty to exist?
Everyone seems to be waiting for something and doing something.
The Tiandao Sect still holds high the banner of "doing justice for heaven", advocates justice everywhere, and constantly eliminates demons and defends the Tao. But I don't know why there are so many demons in this bright world.
Although the Kunlun Sect is recognized as the second largest sect, it is still very low-key, but its internal management is becoming increasingly strict, and its disciples are more cautious when traveling.
The Taiyi Sect, which is still famous, is even more mysterious. The descendants live in seclusion, and the third largest sect, which is widely recognized, seems to have disappeared.
As for Ziyan Mansion and Jiuxing Sect, the two major demon sects, it seems that they are afraid of Tiandao Sect, which "eliminates demons and defends the way", so they have closed the gates long ago. Even if there are disciples who occasionally move around in the world, they are only heard of by name and rarely seen.
