With the help of the Water Spirit Pot, Zhang Zhixuan's long-stagnant cultivation finally began to grow, and his injuries quickly recovered.
Qing Chan has already reached the first level of Qi training. His cultivation has reached the Qi refining stage, and his physical strength has become much stronger. He can now do a lot of the work in the spiritual field alone, which relieves Zhang Zhixuan a lot of burden.
The transformation of White Jade Bees in Lingtian is still going on. In just a few days, three or four more White Jade Bees have been successfully transformed.
But we don’t know how long it will take to evolve the white jade queen bee.
Just when Zhang Zhixuan was immersed in the leisurely pastoral life, the fourth uncle Zhang Menglong suddenly appeared in front of the spiritual field.
Zhang Menglong glanced at the rosy-faced Zhang Zhixuan and smiled: "It seems that my nephew is recovering well, so I don't have to worry."
Zhang Zhixuan handed over his luggage, and then asked: "My fourth uncle is here, but do you have any instructions from the family?"
"Yes, after all these days, there is still no news from your uncle Jiu. It seems that the situation is already very bad.
In the family, except for your ninth uncle, the only two alchemy apprentices who were not able to train a qualified alchemist all died in the chaos in the city.
Now, the family's most urgent task is to train a qualified alchemist.
To learn alchemy, it is best to have a certain level of cultivation.
Most of the monks who are above the middle stage of family Qi training are many years old and have already learned other skills of cultivating immortals. It is no longer suitable to invest resources in cultivating them.
You are not old, you already have some foundation in cultivation, and you should have fire spirit roots in your body, so you are the most suitable candidate for the family now.
I am going down the mountain this time to bring you some spiritual herbs and elixir prescriptions, so that you can carefully study them during this period to see if you have the talent for alchemy.
If you can be promoted to an alchemy apprentice next year, the family will invest more resources in you."
Hearing the words of his fourth uncle Zhang Menglong, Zhang Zhixuan was shocked, and he thought to himself: "The words of my fourth uncle show that the family has decided to vigorously train me.
The success rate of the alchemist profession in the early stage is very low, and it is basically a loss-making business. Unless the family invests a lot of resources, it is impossible to learn such a costly profession as alchemy by relying on Zhang Zhixuan alone."
"To learn alchemy, you need an alchemy furnace and a magic weapon, and you also need earth fire. I don't have these conditions here at all." Zhang Zhixuan said in embarrassment.
"Don't worry about this. The Xuanyangmu family who made alchemy still has some leftover, and your seventh uncle will send it to you in a few days.
As for the alchemy furnace, the best alchemy furnace in the family belongs to your uncle Jiu, and it has been lost this time.
There are still three alchemy furnaces in the clan, and the best one is only second-level mid-grade, so I brought it to you this time."
While speaking, the fourth uncle Zhang Menglong took out a one-foot-wide refined iron elixir furnace from the storage bag on his waist, and then handed it to Zhang Zhixuan.
Then he continued to take out some low-level spiritual herbs and a dozen brand-new books from the storage bag, including three jade slips.
"I've handed everything over to you. You should be more careful during this period. We are already old and half of our bodies are buried in the soil. From now on, our family will depend entirely on your generation."
The disappearance of the ninth uncle undoubtedly made the fourth uncle Zhang Menglong a little disheartened. The family has gradually declined in the past century, which also made the fourth uncle worried. He was worried that his generation of monks was getting old, and the family did not know what to do in the future if there were no outstanding monks to take over.
?Can we pass on the legacy of our ancestors?
Zhang Zhixuan nodded and said: "Don't worry, Fourth Uncle, I will protect my own safety. This place is sparsely populated. Only a dozen family monks have been here. It is difficult for outsiders to detect it. If no one in the family leaks the news, no outsiders will find out.
of.
Last time I went to Fangshi and bought a formation disk made from the bones of monster beasts, since Fourth Uncle is here, he gave me a palm to see if the formation disk can be restored."
Zhang Zhixuan returned to the house, took out the bone formation plate, and handed it to his fourth uncle Zhang Menglong's palm eye.
The fourth uncle is already a third-level formation mage, and is already the most important talent in the family besides the clan leader. He took a closer look at the bone formation plate and said, "This should be something spread from Donglihai.
There are many sea monsters in Dongli Sea, so the resources of monster materials are abundant. They mostly use the spiritual bones of monsters to refine the formation disks.
This formation disk was originally of good quality, a top-grade third-grade thing. Unfortunately, the spiritual energy has been lost over the past few hundred years, and it has been difficult to recover.
The only way is to use the blood refining method to kill three level three monsters, dig out their spirit bones, and then use the spirit blood of the monster beasts to smelt the spirit bones into the formation plate.
However, this would make it more difficult. Instead of doing this, it would be better to refine another formation plate and arrange a brand new formation.
So this thing is just a useless thing, it is a pity to throw it away if it is tasteless. You have spent a little more spiritual stones. But if you can combine it into a second-level formation, it can play some role and add a layer of protection here. "
The uncle and nephew talked for an afternoon, and Zhang Menglong explained to him some difficulties encountered in cultivation. Seeing the sun setting in the west, Zhang Menglong sighed and said: "Your uncle Jiu is gone. From now on, you will learn alchemy, and there will be no one to guide you.
I don’t know how far we can go?
I also know very little about alchemy, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you.”
After Zhang Menglong left, Zhang Zhixuan began to learn alchemy. Three of the books are worthy of Zhang Zhixuan's careful reading.
"Meng Quan's Theory of Alchemy" is Zhang Mengquan's lifelong experience in alchemy. It does not record any elixir prescriptions or any formula for alchemy.
But this book is the most important. It not only contains many tips summarized by Zhang Mengquan, but also some details of his learning process of alchemy. It also records the difficulties he encountered during his academic alchemy process.
Some of these problems have already been answered by Zhang Mengquan, and some still require later learners to solve them.
"Xuantong Danjie" is the ancestral tradition of the Zhang family. Zhang Tairen, the ancestor of the Zhang family, accidentally obtained the inheritance of foundation-building casual cultivation. The cave not only contains spiritual weapons and talismans, but also some cultivation techniques.
One of them is this "Xuan Tong Dan Jie".
The alchemists of the Zhang family relied entirely on the "Xuan Tong Dan Jie" to learn alchemy at first. There are seven kinds of elixirs in the book. Unfortunately, the herbs in the four elixirs are very rare. For hundreds of years, the Zhang family only made alchemy.
Make the three elixirs in the successful book.
This book also records a unique alchemy method, the spiritual water alchemy method.
This unique method of alchemy can use spiritual water to wash the elixir, but unfortunately no one has been able to learn it for hundreds of years.
Although "Six Treatises on Alchemy" is simple, it involves the most profound theories. It involves the fundamental principles of alchemy and describes the profound relationship between elixirs and the mutual dependence between kings and ministers.
Although the book only discusses the alchemy principles of second-level low-grade elixirs such as Xingqi Powder, it is of great help to alchemists who are interested in learning alchemy.
Only by deeply studying the principles of alchemy can one become a true alchemist rather than an alchemy tool.
Those who do not understand the inner pharmacology of elixirs can only refine elixirs according to elixir prescriptions. Even if such an alchemist is very skilled in alchemy and can refine high-level elixirs, he is just an alchemy machine, and it is impossible to obtain the skills of a monk from the Alchemy Alliance.
