The sun rose in the east and shone brightly on the earth. Ye Sheng stayed up all night, concentrating on practicing, warming up his soul, visualizing gods and demons, and exercising his soul.
This night, his soul strengthened a bit, but Ye Sheng was not happy.
"Too slow." Ye Sheng muttered.
For the current Ye Sheng, this kind of progress can only be attributed to hard work. A little bit of effort is not enough to grow quickly.
Squeak!
The door was pushed open, and Zhou Meiren walked out slowly. Her face was still a little pale, but her energy was getting better.
"Practice needs to be done step by step. You are too impatient." Zhou Meiren said.
Ye Sheng said with a stern face: "My enemies are too powerful, and I don't have much time."
Zhou Meiren shook her head and said: "Nothing in this world can be achieved overnight."
Ye Sheng asked: "Is there any shortcut? It's impossible to do everything step by step?"
Zhou Meiren thought for a while and said: "Yes, Taoist elixirs, practicing heaven and earth elixirs, human body elixirs, and medicinal elixirs can speed up your practice, but those who can refine such elixirs are all
Each piece of old Taoism that has been practiced for many years is worth ten thousand gold. Even my father can't get many of them, and you have no hope."
Ye Sheng's eyes lit up and he asked, "Does Taoist Master Qingxu know how to make alchemy?"
Zhou Meiren nodded and said: "Taoist Master Qingxu is a Taoist priest inherited from Longhu Mountain. Naturally, he can refine elixirs. He can refine the legendary 'Longhu Great Pill'."
"Since Taoist Master Qingxu is a Taoist priest inherited from Longhu Mountain, why did he come to Jixia College to teach students?" Ye Sheng asked doubtfully.
"Taoist Priest Qingxu and the current headmaster of Longhu Mountain have great differences of opinion. Taoist Qingxu advocates preaching to the world, but the purpose of Longhu Mountain is not to spread the law. Therefore, Taoist Qingxu left Longhu Mountain and was replaced by His Majesty.
Recruited here." Zhou Meiren said.
"So that's it, I'm going to learn how to make alchemy." Ye Sheng made up his mind.
"You want to learn to make alchemy. Stop making trouble. It's not that difficult to practice alchemy. Many people can practice alchemy, but they can't. Moreover, alchemy is very boring and energy-consuming. What you need now is to improve your cultivation." Zhou Meiren.
He shook his head.
Ye Sheng smiled confidently and said, "Thank you for reminding me, but I have already made up my mind."
Refining elixirs can speed up cultivation, which is a huge temptation for Ye Sheng, even more than learning the martial arts of various sects. After chatting with Zhou Meiren, Ye Sheng made up his mind and went straight to the monastery.
The place where Qingxu Taoist priest lives is the monastery. There are seven or eight Taoist masters here who are responsible for teaching students.
The monastery is halfway up the mountain, with pleasant scenery, shrouded in clouds and mist, and tall silver fir trees. Walking on it feels like stepping on the clouds.
Ye Sheng walked to the door of the monastery step by step, saw the young Taoist priest guarding the door, and said: "Ye Sheng, the newly enrolled disciple, wants to see Taoist Master Qingxu."
The little Taoist priest was really very young, about seven or eight years old. His pink face was very serious. He clasped his hands together and said, "Please wait a moment."
Seeing the little Taoist priest walking up step by step, Ye Sheng smiled slightly and then stood respectfully at the door.
The houses in the monastery are all single-family houses, quiet and remote, very suitable for monks to live.
Five minutes later, the little Taoist priest came back and said, "Please, Taoist Master Qingxu is collecting Qi."
Ye Sheng thanked him and followed the little Taoist priest up the mountain. He saw the sea of clouds rolling, the mountains undulating, and across the sky, he saw the magical lake at the entrance of Jixia College.
Under a huge mulberry tree, Ye Sheng saw Taoist Master Qingxu. He was meditating to collect Qi. A thin Taoist robe was draped around him. His face was indifferent. After Ye Sheng arrived, he slowly stopped practicing.
"Why did you come to visit me?" Taoist Master Qingxu asked.
Ye Sheng knelt down and said: "Student Ye Sheng has met with Taoist Master Qingxu and wants to learn alchemy from him."
Taoist Master Qingxu was stunned and looked at Ye Sheng, very surprised.
"I know that you came here to become a disciple, but I didn't expect that you actually wanted to learn alchemy. Why?" Taoist Master Qingxu looked at Ye Sheng and asked.
"The student entered Jixia College, read about martial arts, learned about Buddhism, and also read books about magic. But in the end, I found that Taoist alchemy is the most suitable for me. Now I am willing to worship under the teacher and concentrate on practicing alchemy." Ye Sheng said sincerely.
road.
"Alchemy is boring and boring. You need to memorize various pharmacological theories and identify various herbs. You may not be successful after practicing countless times at the same time. Can you persist?" Taoist Master Qingxu asked with a calm expression.
Ye Sheng nodded seriously and said, "Ye Sheng perseveres."
"When I entered Jixia Academy, I taught hundreds of students and accepted two disciples. They all learned Taoism. None of them were willing to learn Alchemy. You are the first one to take the initiative to ask to learn Alchemy. Kowtow." Qingxu said.
Chang said with satisfaction.
What he advocates is to preach to the world. As long as he has qualifications and is willing to learn, he can teach anyone. He is willing to accept those with outstanding qualifications as disciples. Within two years of coming to Jixia Academy, Taoist Master Qingxu actually accepted two disciples.
But they all learned Taoism. Ye Sheng was the only one willing to learn the Tao of Alchemy, and Taoist Master Qingxu naturally couldn't ask for it.
Bang bang bang!
Ye Sheng kowtowed sharply, making three muffled sounds, very hard.
"Get up." After becoming a disciple, Taoist Priest Qingxu looked at Ye Sheng with a hint of warmth in his eyes, waved the little Taoist priest to leave, and then said to Ye Sheng.
"I have learned countless Taoist spells and passed them on to your two senior brothers. However, I can't find any disciples in the alchemy path. Since you are willing to learn alchemy from me, you need to put your heart and soul into it and not be lazy or slippery." Qingxu said.
Long warning Ye Sheng.
"Ye Sheng doesn't dare to be lazy, he must concentrate on it." Ye Sheng said seriously.
"Well, here are eighty-one basic volumes of Alchemy, three hundred and sixty-five volumes of herbal medicine, and more than one hundred volumes of pharmacology, all compiled by countless predecessors. When you take them back, I will draw out what you have learned by heart.
, you can answer immediately, even if you are just getting started, don’t come to me again before you are familiar with it." Taoist Master Qingxu took out a pile of books from a bag on his waist and handed them to Ye Sheng.
Ye Sheng took it all. It weighed at least thirty or forty kilograms, but with a satisfied smile on his face, he said, "Thank you, teacher. I'll go back now. Please wait for me."
Taoist Master Qingxu waved his hand and said: "Whether it's a momentary impulse or a careful consideration, it all depends on how long it takes you to remember this."
Ye Sheng bowed and left, holding a large pile of books, and returned to the hut contentedly.
Zhou Meiren was lying on the chair. When she saw Ye Sheng coming back with a pile of books, she jumped up in shock: "Taoist Master Qingxu really accepted you as his disciple?"
Ye Sheng nodded and said: "I am very pressed for time and need to memorize these books, so don't disturb me."
Zhou Meiren smacked her lips and said, "Is it so easy to accept disciples now?"
Ye Sheng ignored him, returned to the room, and began to read through the books one by one. He had a photographic memory, which was his talent. Once he wrote down a book, it would be introduced into the world of Dantian.
