The medicine monk smiled bitterly, "Monks don't lie. You have never seen a real master of alchemy, or a real expert in the ancient world."
"Oh? How awesome is it?"
Qin Shiming became interested. He had heard the word "ancient world" many times, but Qin Shiming had no idea where the ancient world was and what it did.
"Let me describe it to you this way. You think I am very good at playing with fire, right?"
"Well, of course you are awesome, senior."
Qin Shiming nodded fiercely, and the flattery came one after another.
"Okay, stop it, stop blowing, old monk, I will float."
The medicine monk was still self-aware, so he stopped Qin Shiming and continued: "It is rumored that the masters of medicine refining in the ancient world do not need to do anything, they only need a thought, that is, there is such an idea in the mind, and the fire will appear automatically."
"All the ideas in a person's mind can turn into reality in an instant. Would you say it's magical?"
"I'm afraid it's not magic, it's gods, it's myths and legends."
Qin Shiming secretly smacked his tongue. Although the medicine monk had a good nose and eyes, Qin Shiming expressed doubts in his heart.
Is this still a human being?
"You don't believe it?"
The monk was not angry when the medicine was questioned, he still smiled and his little eyes showed a bit of amusement.
"Have you forgotten the expression on your jaw that almost dropped to the ground when you saw me using the fire control technique a few days ago?"
"Didn't you know how powerful you are at the beginning?"
Qin Shiming scratched his head in embarrassment.
"So, if you don't believe it now, it's just because you don't know how powerful the ancient world is."
"..."
Qin Shiming was speechless.
What Monk Yao said makes sense, just as ordinary people regard ancient martial arts masters, even just an internal martial artist, as beings like gods of war, but for masters such as masters and grand masters, they are like gods of war.
A warrior with inner strength, not even little Karami.
"I can't teach you the art of alchemy. It's not because I don't want to, but because I'm afraid that I might mislead you and waste your time. It's not worth the gain."
The Medicine Monk is open-minded and does not feel ashamed, "The name I call 'Medicine Monk' actually has nothing to do with alchemy. Like you, I was also a doctor who traveled around the world."
"After seeing a lot and accumulating a lot, I concocted a few prescriptions on my own. After entering Longmen, the organization provided all facilities, so I thought about starting to make elixirs, roasting them with fire, and fully extracting the effective value of the medicinal materials for my own use.
.”
"Then the method of burning was still used to fuse various medicinal materials together. The resulting pills cannot be said to be completely useless, but they have a certain effect. However, many Chinese medicinal materials lose their efficacy after being roasted at high temperatures.
Even the properties of the medicine have completely changed. As a result, I lose more and win less. On the road to alchemy, I am just crossing the river by feeling the stones."
"Ashamed, ashamed."
The medicine monk thought that if one day he could learn the true skills from the ancient alchemy master, he would never have any regrets in his life.
"Senior Yao, you are so polite. You dare to be the first in the world. Crossing the river by feeling the stones is like Shen Nong tasting the herbs. I admire you."
This time Qin Shiming truly admired him and was definitely not flattering.
Medicine is a very special thing that can benefit thousands of people when used properly. Before a medicine is put on the market, it has to go through countless experiments. Today's Western medicine will first use animals to conduct experiments. After repeated many times, it will
Someone comes to test the medicine.
It is more difficult to test medicines in traditional Chinese medicine. Among other things, many medical students know about penicillin and erythromycin and can recite their ingredients, but they may not necessarily know plantain, and they may not be able to tell the difference between sliced salvia and ginseng.
.
The difficulty of traditional Chinese medicine is not only diagnosis and treatment, but also medication.
The medicine monk feels the stones and crosses the river to make elixirs, which is extremely risky. If you are not careful, you will have to burp first.
"You kid, please stop flattering me. As I said before, I can continue to teach you some tips on fire control. Forget about alchemy. I'm afraid of misleading others and ruining your future."
The Yao Monk mentioned it again, and Qin Shiming naturally couldn't insist on it, so he asked the Yao Monk for some advice.
"In short, the art of controlling fire is closely related to one's own strength. The stronger the strength, the stronger the flames and the greater the lethality. This is what is meant by the saying that great power can produce miracles."
The Yao Monk took the opportunity to make a point: "I don't deny that your boy is extremely talented. He is the most talented guy I have encountered in many years. However, with your current strength, you have less than a 10% chance of winning against Yang Fan."
"Are you praising me or hurting me?"
Qin Shiming was a little bit dumbfounded. The first half of the sentence sounded good, but the 180-degree "but" made him look shameless.
Yang Fan is very strong, but he himself is very good?
Can the top master of the yellow class really occupy the top position forever?
"Anyway, be careful, this kid is hiding very deep." Yao Monk pretended to say something, but in fact he didn't say anything.
Qin Shiming didn't bother much, chatted for a few words, and then left.
Little did he know that when he was passing by the ring, he turned his head and saw that dozens of people were gathered in a group, chattering very lively.
Qin Shiming never liked to watch the excitement, and when he was about to turn around and leave, Xia Houfeng squeezed out of the crowd.
"Old Qin, Old Qin, big news, Longmen's annual challenge is about to begin."
Xia Houfeng ran over with excitement on his face.
"Challenge? What do you mean?"
Qin Shiming doesn't quite understand.
"Hi, that's actually quite understandable."
Xia Houfeng took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and explained as he walked: "For example, if you are a great master of the Huang class, if you can defeat a master of the Xuan class, you can replace him.
The number of Sky Eye Stones you get every month will also be greater."
"This is the first event of the challenge, and the second event is the leadership competition."
"For example, our Dragon Sect currently lacks the Azure Dragon Protector among its four major protectors. The challenger can choose one of the three people from Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu to challenge him. If he wins the challenge, he will directly take up the position of Azure Dragon Protector. If he fails, well, it doesn't matter.
The loss is, at best, a beating."
"You can even challenge the deputy sect leader, how about it? The promotion path of Longmen is very convenient, Lao Qin, are you interested in participating?"
Xia Houfeng said: "Old Qin, I can see your strength. You can try to break into the Xuan-level class and strive to be an official. Even if you go to guard the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion or guard the gate of the cafeteria, you will still have it.
Civil service establishment."
"It's not like me, who relies on connections, gives gifts, and ends up getting a toilet cleaner. I'm not as good as Bima Wen. Oh, you know, I also got slapped in the mouth. What the hell."
They all know the basics, and Xia Houfeng is not afraid of embarrassment.
"Haha, do you think it is so easy to succeed in the challenge? If the well-defined classes are disrupted by an arena match or a challenge match, what is the meaning of this class division?"
Qin Shiming shook his head slightly. He saw further and deeper, so he was not interested in the challenge at all.
