The first thousand one hundred and eighty-eight chapters
Lin Shuwen brought Zhan Chen into an independent alchemy room, and then said to him: "Zhan Chen, from now on, I will teach you my real alchemy skills. I hope you will inherit this alchemy skills and become a
The great alchemist."
Zhan Chen replied: "Master, I will never let you down."
"Okay, take a look at this jade slip first." Lin Shuwen handed him a jade slip.
Zhan Chen took the jade slip and read it. It was an alchemy method called "Star Gathering Technique". Its essence is to use a special spiritual array to inject extra star power into the elixir during the elixir refining process to increase the rate of elixir formation.
A special method to improve the quality of elixirs. Combined with various fingering techniques and seals, the elixir formation rate can be increased by 10%.
Don't underestimate the 10% elixir yield rate. The more advanced the elixir is refined, the lower the elixir yield rate. According to Zhan Chen's understanding, the ordinary alchemist's refining rate of one-star elixir is only 50%, and the refining rate of two-star elixirs is only 50%.
The elixir yield rate is only 30%. On this basis, it can increase the elixir yield rate by another 10%, which will undoubtedly save the alchemist a lot of medicinal materials and time.
However, the Star Gathering Technique is not that easy to learn. Its fingering techniques are complicated and require rapid execution within a certain period of time. Zhan Chen estimates that with his current level of cultivation, it would be very difficult to perform so many seal techniques in a short period of time.
It's strenuous.
At this moment, Lin Shuwen suddenly asked: "Zhan Chen, have you finished reading?"
Only then did Zhan Chen turn his attention from the jade slip to Lin Shuwen and replied, "Teacher, I've finished reading it."
"How are you? Are you feeling stressed?"
Zhan Chen frowned and said truthfully: "I think it's very difficult to use the Star Gathering Technique with my current cultivation level."
Lin Shuwen sighed: "Yes, it's best to raise your cultivation level to the seven-star quasi-star realm. Several of your senior brothers and sisters have reached the eight-star quasi-star realm or above. Among them, senior brother Lin Weilong is
For those who are strong in the Nine-Star Quasi-Star Realm, it will be easier for them to use my Star Gathering Technique, and they can even refine some two-star low-level elixirs."
"But you know that improving one's cultivation level cannot be accomplished overnight."
"Haha, you don't have to worry too much. Learn the basics first. When you reach the level of cultivation, you will naturally be able to easily use the Star Gathering Technique I taught you."
"So teacher, where should we start from?"
"Let's start by learning the formation. The Star Gathering Magic Spiritual Array is the basis for performing the Star Gathering Technique. You must have it firmly engraved in your mind."
"Okay." Zhan Chen replied, but he felt a little nervous about this, because although the spiritual array of the Star Gathering Technique occupies a small area, it is definitely the most complex spiritual array he has ever seen so far. In a
Tens of thousands of spiritual lines need to be carved into an area less than ten meters in diameter, which means that the distance between each two spiritual lines is less than one millimeter. Carving this spiritual array requires the practitioner to be highly skilled, and it is definitely a delicate job.
Lin Shuwen took out a blank formation disk and handed it to Zhan Chen, saying: "Zhan Chen, you should practice drawing the spiritual formation first. After you draw it, let me check it. This will be my first test of you."
"Yes, Master!" Zhan Chen took over the formation disk, put his spiritual consciousness into it, and began to carve it.
Engraving in battle requires cultivators to have a strong soul and sophisticated soul control abilities. Of course, the most important thing is to have enough patience. If there is even the slightest mistake, you must start over.
It took Zhan Chen a full hour to finish drawing this spiritual formation. In fact, it is not difficult for an immortal at his level to draw a spiritual formation. The most difficult thing is not to make mistakes. The formation has always been Zhan Chen's minor training, so there is
Mistakes are inevitable.
After completing it, Zhan Chen handed the spiritual array to Lin Shuwen and said, "Teacher, I'm done."
Lin Shuwen checked it over and said, "Yes, you are quite serious and meticulous. There is nothing wrong with this spiritual array, but your speed is still too slow. If I were to set up the Star Gathering Magic Array, it would only take one minute. It shows that your training is still good."
not enough."
After saying this, he took out twenty formation disks in one breath and ordered to Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, it seems that your research on formations is very insufficient. Today your task is to put these twenty formation disks together again."
The array plate is carved."
"Yes, teacher." Zhan Chen replied, and then he devoted himself to the arduous work of carving the array plate, and did not go back to rest until nightfall.
The next day, Zhan Chen came to Ziyan Garden. Lin Shuwen asked him to carve formation disks, and he took out thirty of them and asked him to complete them within one day. On the third day, he still had to carve formation disks, and the number increased to four.
Ten; fifty on the fourth day... For ten days, Zhan Chen repeatedly carved the formation plate of the Star Gathering Technique Spiritual Formation.
In the second month, Zhan Chen came to Lin Shuwen to study. Lin Shuwen took out a bunch of formation disks. Zhan Chen finally couldn't help it and asked: "Teacher, I am already very familiar with this spiritual formation of Star Gathering Technique."
, can you teach me something else?"
Lin Shuwen glanced at him and said, "You can't even carve a spiritual formation well, what else can you learn?"
Zhan Chen was a little unconvinced and asked: "I carved the ten-day spiritual formation, how can it be bad?"
"Hmph, your speed is far from enough. The Star Gathering Magic Spiritual Formation is just the most basic alchemy formation. I can carve it out in less than a minute!" Lin Shuwen said, and then took out a blank formation disk. With a thought, it was indeed there.
The spiritual formation was carved within a minute, and then he threw it to Zhan Chen and said, "Let's take a look."
Zhan Chen picked up the formation disk and looked at it. The formation disk carved by Lin Shuwen was much better than his own. The spiritual lines of the spiritual formation were as thin and smooth as hair. He looked ashamed and said, "Teacher, it's my fault."
, I am too eager for quick success, and from now on, I will definitely complete whatever you ask me to do."
Lin Shuwen showed a smile on his face and said: "That's right, I'm helping you lay a solid foundation, but asking you to carve the array for ten days in a row would make people feel bored. I was just like you when I was young.
I was also taught a lesson by my master. It doesn’t matter, knowing your mistakes can greatly improve things. Zhan Chen, study hard, you are one of the most qualified apprentices I have ever seen."
"I will definitely live up to the teacher's expectations."
"Zhan Chen, your cultivation level is limited. I don't need you to complete the engraving of the Star Gathering Spiritual Array within one minute, but you must complete it within at least five minutes. I will not start teaching you until you do this.
Your new knowledge.”
Therefore, in the next six months, Zhan Chen repeatedly practiced and carved the Star Gathering Technique Spiritual Array. After half a year of training, he found that he had not only achieved great results in sculpting the Spiritual Array, but also made great progress in soul control. Now
The spiritual patterns he carved on the array plate with his spiritual consciousness were already comparable to Lin Shuwen's.
On this day, Zhan Chen finally achieved his goal of carving the Star Gathering Magic Spiritual Array within five minutes. He happily handed the array plate to Lin Shuwen. After Lin Shuwen saw the spiritual array he drew, he smiled and said, "Zhan Chen
, I didn’t expect you to complete the goal I gave you within half a year, which greatly exceeded my expectations. Next, I will teach you the seal techniques to cooperate with the Star Gathering Technique Spiritual Array."
"Great, finally here is some useful information." Zhan Chen's spirits lifted.
Lin Shuwen took out an array disk, embedded it with a star stone and activated it. A large spiritual array with a diameter of ten meters unfolded in the center of the alchemy room. Zhan Chen suddenly felt that there was more star power in the room, as if he had entered the alchemy room.
The training room is average.
Lin Shuwen explained on the side: "Zhan Chen, my star-gathering technique is taken from the star-gathering spirit array used by our astrologers in daily practice. On this basis, I modified the spirit array so that it can be used by me."
Used for alchemy."
Then he took out another alchemy furnace and placed it in the center of the superstar spiritual array, then lit the fire in the alchemy furnace, and then shouted: "Zhan Chen, use your consciousness to observe the changes inside and outside the furnace in detail.
, and remember the seal formula I used. This first seal formula is the fire-increasing formula, which uses the huge star power absorbed by the star gathering array to strengthen the power of the furnace fire."
Lin Shuwen quickly produced a series of seals. These seals penetrated into the center of the spiritual formation, causing the speed of the spiritual formation to suddenly increase tenfold. Waves of surging star power continued to gather and sink into the alchemy furnace, causing the furnace in the alchemy furnace to
The power of fire increased by more than 30% in one go.
"Zhan Chen, did you know that the essence of many star-level elixirs is difficult to extract at once because the fire is not powerful enough. The Star Gathering Formation is the spiritual formation that can solve this problem." Lin Shuwen said again.
.
As if to prove that what he said was true, he took out an elixir and threw it into the alchemy furnace. The fire immediately wrapped the elixir, and Zhan Chen could clearly see that the elixir was burning under the fierce fire.
The skin of the medicine melts at a speed visible to the naked eye and is quickly transformed into pure spiritual liquid.
Not only that, Zhan Chen also noticed that part of the star power absorbed by some star-gathering magic arrays directly entered the spiritual liquid and merged with the spiritual liquid, giving the extracted spiritual liquid a special pearl-like luster.
.
Lin Shuwen successively invested in extracting more than a dozen kinds of elixirs one by one. With the help of the Star Gathering Spiritual Array, he almost doubled the speed of extracting the essence of these elixirs, and saved a lot of physical strength. Soon all the elixirs were
Extracted into essence and blended together.
At this moment, Lin Shuwen's technique changed again. He performed the pill condensation seal, and the spiritual liquid quickly contracted and condensed into a pill.
At this time, Zhan Chen's brows couldn't help but tighten, because the process of condensing the elixir is the most complicated, because the medicinal powers of various star-level elixirs are mixed together, and a balance is required, but the power of star-level elixirs is greater than that of king-level elixirs.
Hundreds of times, elixir and elixir of medicine
Forces often conflict, and it is not easy to maintain this balance. If there is a slight deviation, the balance will be broken, causing the serious consequences of the hard-working elixir becoming a waste elixir. This is why refining star elixirs
The reason why the elixir-forming rate of medicine is generally not high.
At this time, the elixir refined by Lin Shuwen also became unstable. If it were Zhan Chen, he would definitely use his own strength to suppress the restless elixir, but he didn't know how his master would deal with this kind of elixir.
