The Fang Zao Si is one of the various offices under the territorial government, specializing in the affairs of the Fang Zai. The Supervisor is the director of the Fang Zao Department and has full jurisdiction over all factory affairs within the territory. Therefore, it is often composed of the most prestigious people in the territory.
The director of the workshop is in charge.
Liangzao Chao Shen is the Supervisor of Liyang Mansion, and he is responsible for supervising and teaching the skills of the Young Supervisor. If Gu Chen accepts the appointment of the Supervisor of the Young Masters, he will naturally be able to ask Chao Shen for advice on the skills at any time——
Wu Yan's words contained this meaning, but unfortunately no one noticed it.
"Junior Gu Chen, I have met Chao Weng."
The moment he found out that the old man drinking tea was the supervisor, Gu Chen's attention immediately turned to him.
"To be honest, I have some doubts about the ability of 'casting' tools. Since Chao Weng is a good craftsman, can you please help me clear up my doubts?"
Gu Chen walked over and immediately presented his question after giving his name. This abrupt greeting that completely ignored common sense and etiquette caught Chao Shen, who was originally planning to put on airs, off guard. Chao Shen stared blankly in front of him.
The young student, Zhuzao, who was full of expectations, took a long time before he responded.
“When you say ‘casting tool’, do you mean ‘melting lattice’?”
"Rong Ling?" Gu Chen was surprised.
"The term 'casting' is too old. It was no longer used after Shangzao Huaxu pioneered the melting method a hundred years ago. Now it is called 'Rong Ling'. As a workshop master, I don't even know this common sense.
This is really unreasonable!" Chao Shen snorted coldly.
"I'm ashamed. This junior has become a monk halfway and has not yet acquired a lot of common sense."
Gu Chen bowed his head and apologized. It was a fact that he became a monk halfway, and Chao Shen was both a good teacher and an elder. From such a position, he immediately became furious after being said a few words. It was not so much self-respect as it was inferiority. Gu Chen did not think it was disobedient.
, instead he seized the opportunity to ask for advice.
"Then, can Weng Chao please briefly explain the method of 'melting lattice' to the younger generation?"
"Well..."
This was probably the first time he met such a shameless young man. Chao Shen was also a little unable to grasp the pace. He frowned and looked at Gu Chen. That look made Wu Yan, who was watching the situation next to him, also feel nervous.
You must know that Chao Shen is the chief executive of Liyang Fang Affairs, and it was Wu Yan’s decision to appoint Gu Chen as the Juvenile Supervision Department after discussing with him. Gu Chen, the wild master of the Fang, did not know the rules of the Fang, and he was like hitting a snake with a stick.
Even in Wu Yan's eyes, his attitude was considered rude. If Chao Shen was offended by this, Wu Yan would only judge that he was not suitable for the position of leader.
Wu Yan watched the situation silently, but Chao Shen did not leave the table as expected.
"Humph." Chao Shen snorted heavily, and glanced at the young man in front of him, looking him up and down carefully. "Boy Gu, let me ask you, did you figure out the Huayun refining medicine yourself?"
"Huh? Yes, I got the recipe from Fang Zaoji and tried to refine it..."
"Nonsense!" Interrupting Gu Chen, Chao Shen was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared. "Refining medicine according to the recipe? The recipe should only record the basic formula of the ingredients, how to prepare the specific ingredients, and when to draw the spiritual essence.
, according to the season
Do you know about adding or subtracting ingredients from the medicine manual? You dare to start refining medicine with only a little knowledge, and even go to the Chaos Market to sell it! Do you know that a slight mistake in refining the elixir can be life-threatening to the user?
Is it in danger?!"
Therefore Chao Shen's proposition is undoubtedly correct.
Spiritual elixirs have always been quite expensive consumables, and even pioneers would not use them unless absolutely necessary - in other words, using elixirs is definitely a time of crisis. If the elixirs do not work well at this time,
If there is any effect, it will really put the user of the drug in a literal "life-threatening situation".
"Well……"
Gu Chen was momentarily overwhelmed by the old man's aura, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel respectful.
Gu Chen recalled how he casually started doing stress experiments in college, only to be stopped and scolded by the dean of the department. The old man felt very similar to the dean of the department, including his bad temper.
That kind of stubborn old man who is knowledgeable and responsible.
Of course, the old man's accusation is not wrong.
In the final analysis, the medicinal manual is just information as simple as a swimming manual. Details like what Chao Shen listed cannot be found in the medicinal manual. Even if you use Huayun to absorb the spiritual essence, there are still some considerations in timing and heat. These are all
It is impossible to explain it clearly in a few pages of medicinal formulas. All masters with a professional background have studied with their masters for many years and gradually accumulated experience to understand the mysteries.
As for the reason why Gu Chen was able to refine the finished product based solely on the medicinal formula, most of the reason was due to his talent of looking directly at the Spiritual Brahma.
The Lingfan, which ordinary masters can only vaguely understand through experience and feeling, can be seen clearly in Jing's eyes. Not only is it no problem to control the temperature of the fire, but he can even clearly see the harmful and harmless components of the precipitated ingredients. The elixir of Gewufang
This is also the reason why it is so well received among pioneers.
Of course, you should never speak bluntly about such things to others, so Gu Chen could only bow his head and give the most conservative answer.
"What Chao Weng said is true. However, when I refine the elixir, I will first confirm that it is correct by myself before selling it."
"Do you want to test the medicine yourself? Huh, he is indeed as bold as the rumors. If you are a disciple of Xinhefang, I have to hammer the word 'rules' into your bones from the beginning!" Chao Shen snorted heavily. Liang Zao heard this.
Saying this, the female disciple who stood silently behind her couldn't help but look surprised and glanced at Gu Chen a few more times.
"This junior is stupid, please give me some advice from Chao Weng."
Of course, Gu Chen was also aware of the female disciple's gaze, but he continued to act like a junior asking his elders for advice.
Similar to the head of the department in college, old scholars with real materials like this often value the inheritance of knowledge. If you lower your profile and ask for advice, you will get better results nine times out of ten. This is Gu Chen’s experience.
, and this is indeed the case.
"...Humph, since you asked about 'Rong Ling', let me ask you how much you know about the essence of 'Hua Yun'?" Chao Shen probably agreed with Gu Chen's attitude, so he turned to more specific questions.
.
"The essence of Huayun? This junior feels that the essence of using Huayun to refine medicine is the process of extracting the spirit Brahma from the raw materials. I don't know if that's right?"
"Humph, for someone who has become a monk halfway, it is rare for Shuzi to have such knowledge." Chao Shen nodded. "Fangshu is the art of 'weaving the spirit Brahma'. Both the elixir and the utensils are created by weaving the spirit Brahma. Therefore,
The essence of Hua Yun and Rong Ling is to interfere with the spiritual Brahma. They are just the opposite."
"Exactly the opposite?"
"That's right. Hua Yun absorbs the spirit Brahma from the material, and then uses the spirit Brahma to nourish the object. As for Fusion Ling, it embeds the spirit Brahma into the object to drive the object to exert its effect. When it comes in and out, it's the opposite.
?”
"That's true!" Gu Chen's eyes lit up when he heard that. Although he also got a lot of information from Fang Zao Si, the book knowledge that was only better than nothing could be gained by directly asking for advice from Liang Zao with both actual performance and cultivation.
Depth and breadth are completely different.
"I would like to ask Chao Weng, the refining medicine of 'Hua Yun' mostly uses foreign herbs as raw materials, but this does not seem to be the case for the casting of 'Rong Ling'.
May I ask why this is?"
"Of course. Our mortal bodies of flesh and blood often need grains, meats, and vegetables for nourishment. Herbal medicines are the essence of heaven and earth, and the spiritual Brahma contained in them is most appropriate to nourish our bodies. Therefore, these herbs are used in refining medicine.
as material
.This is the principle of nature." Chao Shen nodded in response. "The elixir is applied to people, so it is based on herbal medicine. The shape of the container is in things, and its effect is beyond the reach of herbal medicine, so the materials used in Rong Ling are also taken from it.
It belongs to itself.”
"Taken from the genus?"
"The heavens and the earth contain all things, and everything contains spiritual Brahma. However, there are many creations, and the spiritual Brahma contained in them also differs in how refined they are. The superior quality is called 'marrow'. The marrow has physical properties and is the essence of spiritual Brahma.
Jing. A thing with spiritual marrow in it, which is the raw material for the fused lattice casting. Can you figure it out, kid?"
"Is there a special attribute of spiritual marrow..."
Gu Chen subconsciously thought of the giant armor left by the Lord of Li Palace. The purple light ball contained in the armor should be the "spiritual essence" that Chao Shen said had "physical properties". At that time, Gu Chen used the Sanskrit seal of his right hand to remove the purple light ball from the armor.
It is directly stripped out from the body and placed in the Sanskrit Tibetan as a material. However, from Chao Shen’s explanation, ordinary masters seem to be unable to do this. Including the well-made Chao Shen, they can only be fused with specific objects that contain the spiritual essence.
Materials for lattice castings.
"Can special objects similar to those left behind by wild monsters be used as materials for casting?" Gu Chen confirmed.
"Children can be taught." Chao Shen nodded happily and looked at Gu Chen with a little more appreciation in his eyes. "Actually, in addition to the strange marrow, the high-grade Huangshi is also an attribute of the permanent spiritual marrow... Well, put that one
Bring me the brilliant stone."
Chao Shen's eyes fell on the shelf next to him. There was a vermilion stone as big as a palm in a certain shelf. The vermilion stone was crystal clear and free of impurities. It was obviously a top-grade stone. Under the light, there was a hint of red inside.
The mist flows and looks wonderful, so it is placed as a decoration in the tea room.
To wealthy merchants, that brilliant stone might be a valuable collector's item, but in the eyes of the craftsman, it was just the best material for creation. Chao Shen nuzzled at Gu Chen, but the latter didn't think much of it.
He took the piece of brilliant stone down and placed it on the tea table in front of him.
Black lines appeared on the head of the female disciple who witnessed Gu Chen's actions. Although her face looked very much like she wanted to say something, Chao Shen also looked completely interested because of Liangzao, so she had no choice but to look away and try to remain silent.
"To use Rong Ling to cast objects, you must first learn to distinguish physical properties." Chao Shen touched the vermilion brilliant stone and Chun Chun taught the younger generation. "It is like this brilliant stone, which contains the yang fire marrow. If you use Rong Ling to cast it, you must first learn to distinguish physical properties."
If you embed it into the utensils using this method, you can give the utensils the power of fire. This is the simplest cast."
"That's it, that's it!"
Gu Chen couldn't help but couldn't help hearing it. Although Lingfan's creations are derived from the heritage of the ancestors, the continuous evolution over thousands of years has allowed Fangshu to form its own unique system. Compared with the discrete ones on the Hong Ship that are out of touch with the times,
Based on the information, asking Chao Shen for advice is undoubtedly a more reliable solution.
"If you are brave, junior, can you please ask Mr. Chao to explain the method of integrating the lattice in detail?"
Gu Chen's eyes sparkled, and he raised his hands to Chao Shen in begging.
