Chapter 174: Recruiting Disciples (Additional update for leader Xu Xiu who is cultivating a break)
…
Although the incident in the medicine garden passed quickly.
But the turmoil caused in Taiyuanmen is not small.
Not only Xuanhe Zhenren carefully observed the medicine garden for a whole day, but a group of senior brothers and sisters also came to the medicine garden for several days to see the strange things.
Naturally, all the changes that have occurred in the medicine garden have been investigated thoroughly.
However, Xu Chen responded to the ever-changing situation by remaining unchanged, and always dismissed it without even saying a word that he didn't know.
Senior brothers and sisters are easy to fool, but Master Xuan and Zhenren cannot be fooled.
Fortunately, Master Xuanhe also maintained great respect for the secrets of his little apprentice. Except for asking once at the beginning, he never asked about it again.
Not asking is naturally a good thing, but for Xu Chen, it is not a good thing either.
Because respect is mutual, respecting teachers and teaching is the most basic moral cultivation.
But it's a pity that he really can't tell about this matter.
Xu Chen had no choice but to continue pretending to be stupid, and the incident was considered a fool.
However, what surprised Xu Chen was that since the medicinal garden was forcibly instilled with white gas, all the plants seemed to have been brought to maturity. Grapevines began to bloom, rice began to ear, and there were several other shrubs or vines.
Plants like taro have also begun to sprout flower buds.
Moreover, during the maturation process of these plants, the entire medicinal garden seemed to be like a spiritual gathering array, which began to continuously gather spiritual energy from nature. The medicinal garden was filled with a faint blue spiritual mist from beginning to end, making the elixirs that grew later in it look like
It grew like crazy after taking Dali Pills. Various first- and second-grade elixirs that were planted and refined began to appear in patches, and many of them began to bear fruit.
Judging from the current development situation, this medicine garden has gradually matured and there is no need to continue investing in spiritual stones as fertilizer. It will eventually become a real spiritual field.
In fact, Xu Chen was also very surprised that such spiritual fields, which do not require spiritual stone or spiritual fertilizer, are usually only opened near spiritual veins.
There are many large and small medicinal fields in Yuqing Palace, but there are only two spiritual fields where third-grade or above elixirs and spiritual materials are cultivated. They are places with abundant natural spiritual energy. Other elixirs still require the use of Yuan mud, spiritual soil and spiritual stones.
Just keep replenishing it as fertilizer.
There are no spiritual veins near Taiyuan Gate, so naturally the spiritual field cannot grow fat.
In the past, when the Resurrection Tree was still growing vigorously, the Taiyuan Sect continued to use spirit gathering arrays or spirit stones to gather spiritual energy in the hope that the Resurrection Tree would bloom and bear fruit. However, as the Resurrection Tree became more and more withered, planting naturally became more and more difficult.
Carelessly, the aura of this medicine garden became worse and worse, until a cultivating sect had to rely on collecting manure to cultivate elixirs. This also shocked Xu Chen, who had just gone to the mountain to practice Taoism, and his jaw almost dropped.
But what he didn't expect was that these strange plants could also gather spiritual energy on their own.
Could it be that a spiritual vein mine will slowly grow beneath the medicine field?
While Xu Chen was a little whimsical, he was also a little inexplicably excited.
But something happened very quickly, which completely freed him from the medicine garden.
Senior Sister Thirteen is ready to start building the foundation.
Before building the foundation, she sent a jade slip to Xu Chen, and the time was set in two days.
Xu Chen thought about his experience of being completely unable to open the acupuncture points when building the foundation, and felt that he had to make more preparations.
Although Zhao Xuan's physical strength is not as strong as him, after two rounds of white energy transformation and enhancement, she is definitely much stronger than other senior brothers and sisters who just ate a trace of white energy. Even if there is an enhanced version of the Guiyuan Pill, it is very possible.
Unable to succeed.
Therefore, he decided to refine two more batches of Foundation Building Pills.
At the moment, he has two toad sloughs from the Seven-Star Golden Toad in his hand. The efficacy of the medicine is probably better than that of Yuqing Palace, but it is not the best medicine either.
However, his method of refining alchemy is different from others. The white energy can not only strengthen the soul and strengthen the physical body, but Xu Chen actually discovered that it also has another effect, which is to further purify the efficacy of the medicine.
Every time after being blended into the white gas, the refined elixir will inevitably be concentrated and refined again to remove many impurities.
Perhaps, this is also a way to improve the quality of Guiyuan Dan.
In addition, you can also try to directly refine the Aiki Pill using this method.
Guiyuan Pill and Heqi Pill are the two most common foundation-building elixirs in the current immortal world. The medicinal materials also have many overlaps, but there are differences in the main ingredients.
The Heqi Pill is a top-grade elixir that requires the use of the Seven-Star Golden Toad Slough, while the Guiyuan Pill can only be regarded as a first-grade intermediate elixir at best. In order to make up for the lack of the Seven-Star Golden Toad Slough, three other high-level elixirs with complementary medicinal properties are used.
To compensate, even so, the effectiveness of the medicine is still greatly reduced, only about 10% of the effectiveness of the Heqi Pill.
What Zhenjun Xuanchen helped Xu Chen refine was a Guiyuan Pill, which was considered a weakly enhanced version, but it was far inferior to the enhanced version of the Guiyuan Pill from Yuqing Palace that had a full 30% efficacy.
For the level-breaking elixir, even a slight difference may cause the breakthrough to fall short.
Not to mention the 10% difference in efficacy, which is a five to ten times difference in terms of foundation building effect.
In the fairy world, although the elixir for refining the Guiyuan Pill is precious, it is not very scarce. After all, they are only first-level elixirs. Every monk in the late Kaiyuan Realm may be able to find a few of them in a few years. If
If there is a fairy sect or family power, it is not too difficult to gather them together.
The last time Xu Chen and Ninth Senior Brother went to the capital to celebrate their birthday, they collected several items at once.
In addition, Shanmen has been continuously collecting and storing these elixirs. Therefore, except for the fact that Taiyuan Sect cannot obtain the Seven-Star Golden Toad Slough, it still has some reserves of other elixirs.
Xu Chen found the medicine shelf where the materials for refining the Foundation-Building Pill were stored in the Alchemy Academy's warehouse. He quickly gathered the materials for two furnaces by comparing the pill formulas, and then activated the pill furnace in his own alchemy room and prepared to start refining the pill.
Su Zhao stood aside cautiously, watching Xu Chen reveal this large bronze alchemy furnace that was three feet high, with admiration and excitement on his face.
The young uncle is only less than four years older than him, but he is already a real person in the foundation-building stage of the True Yuan Realm.
Although he had just entered the mountain not long ago, he knew that this was a record-breaking training progress.
"Come on, help me take out all these elixirs and organize them!"
Xu Chen waved his hand, and more than ten spiritual boxes of different sizes appeared on the ground.
"Disciple, I obey!" Su Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to help. He carefully opened all the spiritual boxes next to each other, took out the elixirs and placed them on the stone table next to Xu Chen.
These elixirs all exude a faint spiritual light and have different colors depending on their properties.
After studying with Xu Chen in the Alchemy Academy for more than ten days, Su Zhao was already familiar with simple medicinal materials. Although Xu Chen also taught him the simplest Taiyuan Sect introductory exercises, if he wanted to truly get started with Qi training, he would still have to
It takes more than half a year.
Xu Chen held two jade slips in his hand, namely the Guiyuan Dan and the Heqi Dan. His powerful spiritual consciousness penetrated into the two jade slips at the same time. He watched carefully while comparing the similarities and differences, trying to use the two rare
The golden toad sloughed out and refined two furnaces of foundation-building pills with sufficient efficacy at once.
"It's been more than a month since you went up the mountain!"
Xu Chen was multitasking and could still talk to Su Zhao.
"Yes, little uncle!" Su Zhao nodded quickly while sorting out the medicinal materials.
"The mountains are not as lively and fun as the mountains below. They are more miserable. I will take you to Nanyang City in a few days to meet your master!" Xu Chen said with a smile.
Su Zhao suddenly said with joy on his face: "Thank you so much, little uncle. I also want to go down the mountain to see my master, but I can't control the sword yet and I have been worried about my master's health."
"Well, filial piety is commendable. After you start practicing Qi, your uncle will give you a flying sword. Then you can go down the mountain to visit your master at any time." Xu Chen nodded.
Su Zhao was even more overjoyed. He hesitated and said cautiously: "Little uncle, can I...can I become your disciple?"
Xu Chen stopped looking at the jade slips for a moment, then looked up at Su Zhao and said, "You want to worship me as your teacher?"
"Yes, I particularly admire my little uncle. He has great magic skills, can kill demons, and can make elixirs. Disciple... I also want to learn how to make alchemy." Su Zhao said with a blush.
Xu Chen thought for a while and said: "It's okay for you to worship me as your teacher, but I still need to ask the master for instructions on this matter. In addition, you have also seen that I am busy every day and may not have much time to teach you. In the future
No matter how far you can cultivate, it all depends on your own efforts."
Su Zhao suddenly got excited and knelt on the ground, kowtowing and said: "Disciple knows that he will definitely follow the master's teachings and practice diligently!"
Xu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Get up and wait until I finish refining these two furnaces of foundation-building elixirs!"
"Thank you, Master!" Su Zhao respectfully kowtowed three more times before getting up.
Xu Chen couldn't help but laugh or cry in his heart.
I was only sixteen years old, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye I would become a master and take on a disciple.
He never thought such a thing would happen.
However, cultivating immortals and recruiting disciples is a little different from the mortal world. Most of the masters and disciples are just status, and they mainly rely on their own efforts.
His unreliable master didn't teach him any advanced theories or spells from the beginning to the end. He almost relied on himself to explore and practice everything. Fortunately, the Taiyuan Sect's skills were good, and a group of senior brothers and sisters were also willing to ask questions.
Answer: Let him avoid many detours in his cultivation.
Su Zhao's qualifications were almost the same as his own, but after following the old Taoist priest for several years, catching ghosts and subjugating demons in the mortal world, he had much more knowledge than him. In addition, although the old Taoist priest did not understand cultivation, he had some general Taoist cultivation theories and some
He still dabbled in simple spells, and Su Zhao also learned a lot. His starting point was who knows how much higher than he was at the beginning.
In addition, Su Zhao is indeed good at identifying and organizing medicinal materials. He has a smart mind and a simple temperament. If he can really learn how to make alchemy, it will be of great help to him in the future.
In the following time, Xu Chen did not speak anymore, but spent two moments carefully reading and comparing the two pill formulas. After feeling that everything was familiar, he activated the pill furnace formation.
