Chapter 963: Don’t you need to spend time practicing?
"No problem, just follow the strictest level!"
Lin Chen's consultation with Su Mubai was just for basic alchemy skills. It was a mutual advice between friends and did not involve the sect's secret knowledge, let alone Lin Chen's identity as a direct disciple of Cave Master Lin Chen, so there was nothing to avoid.
"The most basic and important thing for an alchemist is to identify various medicinal materials and know their medicinal properties; second, learn to process and extract various medicinal materials; third, practice the basic techniques of alchemy, memorize a large number of alchemy recipes, and do these three
Only after clicking this can you be qualified to actually start the alchemy furnace."
Lin Chen nodded: "I have been reading and studying some time ago. Most of the time I was familiar with various medicinal materials, their processing, and extraction methods. I also memorized many prescriptions and basic techniques, but they were limited to theory.
Didn’t get started.”
Su Mubai asked curiously: "Why don't you do it yourself?"
Lin Chen replied: "Learning the basics is like a child learning to hold chopsticks. If you learn the correct posture at the beginning, it will be useful throughout your life. But if you make a mistake at the beginning, even if you want to correct it in the future, you will eventually leave some bad mistakes.
Behavioral habits, so I think the most correct way should be used to master the basics, rather than trying to figure it out on your own behind closed doors."
Su Mubai smiled and said, "Then let me test you."
Lin Chen nodded: "You ask."
Su Mubai chuckled: "Udon grass."
Lin Chen replied: "Udon grass has oval leaves, and each leaf is divided into four petals. It grows in one year, blooms in the third year, and bears fruit in the third year. The fruit is like a blueberry. Udon fruit is a good medicine blender. Use
Among many pill formulas, such as Bishui Pill, Cold Jade Pill, Bai Ming Pill..."
Su Mubai looked slightly surprised and continued to ask: "Seven Cold Grass?"
Lin Chen thought for a while, sorted out his memory, and answered fluently: "Seven Cold Grass grows in extremely cold places..."
Su Mubai listened to Lin Chen's talk. Not only did he describe the appearance, growth habits and medicinal value of Seven Cold Grass in detail, he even gave several examples of elixirs using Seven Cold Grass.
Su Mubai asked several questions in succession, and Lin Chen almost always answered accurately after thinking briefly.
Su Mubai looked at Lin Chen in surprise: "How long have you been reading?"
Lin Chen replied: "Three months."
Su Mubai's expression became more and more surprised. It only took three months to master it to such an extent!
"Do you have a photographic memory?"
Lin Chen smiled and said: "That's not true, it's just some special memory methods. If you are interested, I can teach you."
What Lin Chen was talking about was the memory palace method that he had learned in the human world. Now that he is powerful, his spiritual consciousness has also become stronger. He can easily build a huge memory palace in his mind and remember it easily.
Information that you want to keep.
Su Mubai asked in surprise: "Is it really possible?"
There are too many medicinal materials and prescriptions, and they will intersect and create correlations, eventually producing a large amount of information. If there is a way to remember them clearly in the mind, that would be great.
"It's not complicated. Just practice more and you will soon be a master of memory."
Su Mubai looked at Lin Chen in amazement: "You always surprise me!"
Lin Chen smiled and said: "I'm just standing on the shoulders of those who came before me."
Su Mubai was not in a hurry to let Lin Chen teach her, but smiled and said: "Okay, since memorizing these medicinal materials and prescriptions is not a problem for you, let's get started."
Su Mubai reached out and summoned an alchemy furnace: "The key to alchemy lies in precise control, controlling the amount of medicinal materials, controlling the temperature of the medicinal materials, and controlling the fire. I will now teach you eight basic control techniques for alchemy, including extraction.
method."
After a pause, Su Mubai said with a smile: "Don't learn too fast, otherwise, you will make me feel very frustrated."
Lin Chen smiled: "I'll try my best."
"Just a joke!"
Su Mubai smiled sweetly, then came to the alchemy furnace and started to demonstrate to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen had actually read the theory of the eight basic methods before, but there were people on site giving guidance and just reading the book, which had completely different effects.
Is it true that you will feel uncertain after trying things out on your own?
But after comparing the instructions, you will suddenly realize that this is the case!
"These are the eight basic methods. Each method has its own training method and assessment method. From now on, you will practice these eight basic methods. When you can reach an extremely excellent standard, you can start real alchemy."
Lin Chen agreed neatly: "Okay!"
Lin Chen returned to the cliff hut and began repeated training.
Ten days later, Lin Chen found Su Mubai again.
"Can you see what I'm doing?"
Su Mubai looked at Lin Chen suspiciously. It had only been ten days, so fast?
Impossible!
Although the eight basic methods are indeed not complicated, they are not simple for newcomers who have never been exposed to alchemy.
It's not complicated to master, but it's difficult to master.
It's like being a chef. It's easy for you to learn how to cut vegetables, but it takes a lot of effort to become extremely skillful, to cut smoothly, to have the same size and uniform thickness.
