The first thousand one hundred and eighty-seven chapters
"What the hell!" Lin Qingquan complained and kicked the alchemy furnace over violently, causing a startling sound in the originally peaceful hall. Feng Qiang and Zhu Xiaodan both glanced at Lin Qingquan and did not dare to say anything.
Because he is the grandson of the dean, a young master who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth. Coming to the Lin Family Martial Arts Hall to study is just gold-plated.
But Zhan Chen seemed more calm, took out another batch of medicinal materials, and started refining. In fact, he still felt very guilty in his heart. He couldn't be distracted while refining alchemy. In the past, he was alone in the alchemy room.
When refining elixirs in the hall, there is no interference from others, so the rate of elixir formation can be very high. However, a little external interference in this hall can cause the elixirs to become useless. This shows that my concentration in elixir refining needs to be strengthened.
.
So this time Zhan Chen focused all his energy on the process of refining the elixir, and no longer cared about other things.
The alchemy technique he used was not what he was used to, but the basic alchemy technique taught by Lin Shuwen in class, so he had to be even more careful. With his efforts, a Shuluo Dan was finally successfully born, and so far the battle
Chen Cai breathed a sigh of relief, wiped off the water on his forehead, took out the elixir from the elixir furnace, then handed it to Lin Shuwen and said, "Professor, I have refined it."
Lin Shuwen took the elixir and looked at it confidently, nodded and said: "Yes, very good, your name is Zhan Chen."
"It's down there."
"It seems that you have listened to all the content of my lecture - well, you can go aside and wait for me to announce the results."
"Yes." Zhan Chen replied, then walked to the side and stood waiting, while the others continued to refine the elixir.
Finally, a second person succeeded. He was Lin Qingyuan. After wasting two doses of medicinal materials, he succeeded for the third time. He proudly handed the elixir to Lin Shuwen and said, "Uncle Shuwen, I also succeeded."
Lin Shuwen said: "Qingyuan, there is no uncle of yours here, only professors."
"Oh, I know." Lin Qingyuan replied casually, not taking it seriously at all.
"Stand aside and wait for the results."
"Okay." Lin Qingyuan walked to Zhan Chen's side and stood waiting.
The successive successes of Zhan Chen and Lin Qingyuan made Feng Qiang and Zhu Xiaodan even more nervous. As the saying goes, they made mistakes while busy. By the end of the time, they still had not refined the elixir Lin Shuwen wanted.
As soon as the exam time ended, Lin Shuwen stood up and said, "It's time!"
Feng Qiang and Zhu Xiaodan were both dejected, knowing that they had failed.
Lin Shuwen glanced at the four people and said: "Now I announce the results of today's exam. Only Zhan Chen meets the conditions to become my student. You can come back next year."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qingyuan shouted: "Isn't that right? I also successfully refined Shuluo Dan, why is it not considered passed?"
Lin Shuwen replied: "I am the examiner, and I have the final say in everything."
"Why? Zhan Chen is just a foreign surname. I am a direct descendant of the Lin family. If we want to eliminate him, he should also be eliminated!" Lin Qingyuan couldn't help shouting.
Lin Shuwen's face sank and he said: "Okay, I'll tell you the reason. First of all, you are impetuous during the alchemy process. This is a taboo for alchemists. I will eliminate you based on this alone. Secondly, you don't understand."
Etiquette and lack of respect for superiors are the reasons why I eliminated you; finally, the quality of the elixir you refined is not as good as Zhan Chen. Based on these three points, I will not hire you."
"I don't accept it, I want to find grandpa!" Lin Qingyuan said angrily.
"It's up to you, you can leave."
Lin Qingyuan really walked away, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.
After he left, Lin Shuwen said to the three of them again: "You three, remember, no matter what status he has, I will never accept a person like Lin Qingyuan as my apprentice. Feng Qiang, Zhu Xiaodan, you two...
If you don’t have much talent for alchemy, it will be in vain for you to listen to my lectures. I advise you to learn something else instead, so as not to waste your time."
Feng Qiang and Zhu Xiaodan looked at each other and had no choice but to stand up and say, "Professor, excuse me." Then they left in frustration.
Zhan Chen looked at their backs and felt bad. Lin Shuwen's words were too straightforward, which was quite hurtful.
At this moment, Lin Shuwen said to him: "Zhan Chen, you must think that what I said is too absolute."
Zhan Chen said: "Professor, in fact, I think there is a certain truth in the saying that nothing is difficult in the world as long as there is a willful person."
"But this sentence is not suitable for alchemists. Alchemy requires talent. Do you want to see them achieve nothing in the future after putting in huge efforts, or do you want to see them shine in other areas? I am an alchemist myself.
, so you know what to say is the right thing to say.”
"That's what the professor said." Zhan Chen could only say.
Lin Shuwen asked again: "By the way, Zhan Chen, I think you must be refining elixirs often."
"Yes, teacher, but how did you see it?"
"Haha, I don't think your technique is that of a novice. It's just that you don't seem to be used to using my method to make alchemy, so I guess you must have your own set of alchemy techniques."
"Yes."
"Now that you are considered my student, can you use your own alchemy skills to refine Shuluo Dan again and show it to me?"
"Okay." Zhan Chen replied, he was a little curious, why did Lin Shuwen want to see his alchemy skills? However, his alchemy skills were obviously not a secret that he needed to keep to himself, and there was nothing wrong with revealing it in front of Lin Shuwen.
"Here are the medicinal materials. Take it." Lin Shuwen took out three more medicinal materials and handed them to Zhan Chen.
Zhan Chen took the medicinal materials and took out his alchemy furnace. Lin Shuwen took a look at it and said, "Zhan Chen, are you using the alchemy furnace you prepared? It doesn't look good."
Zhan Chen smiled and said: "The self-prepared alchemy furnace is the most convenient. Professor, when you asked us to choose the alchemy furnace just now, wasn't it also a test for us?"
Lin Shuwen smiled and said: "Yes, the exam starts as soon as you enter the door. Zhan Chen, you do have some qualities to become an outstanding alchemist."
Zhan Chen raised the fire in the furnace, and then began to use the alchemy technique he was familiar with to refine Shuluo Dan. His movements were as smooth as clouds and water, and he did it in one go.
Lin Shuwen watched from the side with a bright light in his eyes. He subconsciously kept stroking his beard, as if he had discovered a treasure.
When Zhan Chen handed him the elixir, Lin Shuwen smiled and said: "Not bad, really good. Zhan Chen didn't expect your skills to be so skillful. It was beyond my expectation, but -"
"But what?" Zhan Chen asked anxiously.
"It's just that although your alchemy technique is exquisite, it is not suitable for refining star-level elixirs. It is not conducive to maximizing the efficiency of the star power in your body. There are also many problems in the process of condensing elixirs, causing many unnecessary
The ingredients of the elixir are lost. With all due respect, your alchemy technique can be used to refine one-star elixirs, but it will be insufficient to refine two-star elixirs and above."
Zhan Chen immediately bowed down and said, "That's why I want to become your teacher and learn the art of alchemy."
"Haha, since you have passed my assessment, you can be considered my disciple. Go back and have a good rest today. I will find you tomorrow and let you meet some of your senior brothers and sisters."
"Okay, but when will you teach me?"
"Don't worry. When you study in the future, remember it. Starting from the second half of every month, that is, starting from the 21st of every month, you can come to my Purple Smoke Garden to learn alchemy. Of course I will arrange it.
You will be asked to complete some tasks on the spot, and you will be graded based on your completion. When you complete your studies, I will evaluate you based on your usual performance."
"Understood."
"Okay Zhan Chen, you go back first. I have other things to do as a teacher."
"Then the student will resign."
So, Zhan Chen left the main hall and returned home. It was not until the 21st that he came to Ziyan Garden again.
He came too early, so the servants in Lin Shuwen's mansion asked him to wait in the main hall, so he went to the main hall and waited quietly.
Soon after, four more people came to the hall one after another, two men and two women. Those people stared at Zhan Chen with curious eyes, but did not come forward to answer because they were not like Zhan Chen.
familiar.
They were observing Zhan Chen, and Zhan Chen was also observing them. Zhan Chen didn't know any of these four people, because he didn't see them at all when he was listening to the lecture in the auditorium. So it can be considered that he became Lin Shuwen's official disciple.
After that, there is no need to go to the auditorium to listen to the lecture.
At this moment, Lin Shuwen came over from the back of the hall. Everyone who saw him saluted and said: "Meet the master."
Lin Shuwen nodded and said: "Everyone, we have a new student today, here to meet your youngest junior brother - Zhan Chen."
Everyone looked at Zhan Chen and smiled at him: "Hello, Junior Brother Zhan."
Lin Shuwen said to Zhan Chen again: "Zhan Chen, let me introduce you to your senior brothers and sisters. This one is your senior brother Lin Weilong, this one is your second senior sister Zhou Guixiang, and this one is your third senior sister.
Senior sister Lin Yaoli, this is your fourth senior brother Lin Gui, and you are the fifth."
Following Lin Shuwen's introduction, Zhan Chen also saluted several senior brothers and sisters one by one as a greeting.
At the end, Lin Shuwen said: "Okay, you guys have gotten to know each other. From now on, we will all study together and take care of each other. Lin Weilong and you senior fellow apprentices, you have to take care of your own junior fellow apprentices. Do you understand?"
"I understand, master." Everyone replied in unison.
"Then let's start today's practice. Lin Weilong, you guys go to the alchemy room at the back first and review the Dragon Power Pill I taught you to refine last time."
"It's Master." The four of them replied in unison, and then they walked into the door on the left side of the hall one by one.
Lin Shuwen turned around again and said to Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, you have just arrived, so I have to teach you from the most basic level. Come with me." After that, he walked towards a door on the right side of the hall.
Zhan Chen followed. At this time, he was full of curiosity, looking forward to what kind of superb alchemy skills Lin Shuwen would show him.
