Zhan Chen left the elders' residential area and continued up the mountain road. After walking a few miles, he reached the top of the peak. At a glance, he saw dozens of tall buildings standing on the top of the peak, and the most conspicuous one among them was
The Ziyan Hall in the middle is also where the great elder Chu Danqing lives and practices.
It is said that the great elder Chu Danqing has the high-level cultivation of Emperor Wu and is also a very important figure among many great elders. Not only that, he is also good at alchemy and is in charge of Xuan Dao Sect's Lingdan Pavilion and most of the elixirs in the Dan Pavilion.
They all come from Nanhua Peak.
Therefore, as soon as Zhan Chen walked into those buildings, he could smell the strong fragrance of medicine. He looked up at the sky, and even the sky seemed to be shrouded in a looming layer of purple smoke. He couldn't help but sigh: Nanhua Peak is indeed the
It is a holy land for alchemy, and the Purple Smoke Hall is well-deserved. I will definitely learn a lot about alchemy skills when I come here.
When he came to the gate of Ziyan Hall, he was stopped by two elders. One of them asked: Excuse me, elder, you look very unfamiliar.
Zhan Chen said: My name is Zhan Chen, and I am the new elder.
You are Zhan Chen, one of the youngest elders of our sect
Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that his name would spread all of a sudden, so he replied: Yes, I happened to be assigned to Nanhua Peak, and I will work with you two from now on.
Haha, welcome, my name is Lin Fuzhi, and his name is Ge Cunfei.
Elder Lin and Elder Ge, the two warlike people hurriedly saluted.
Okay, don’t do this false courtesy, we will all be a family from now on. What, are you here to pay homage to Elder Chu today?
Exactly, I haven't been assigned a job yet.
Then I will go and inform you. Lin Fuzhi said.
Then there is Elder Laurin.
Lin Fuzhi turned around and entered the hall. He came back after a while and said: Zhan Chen, that's all. You can come in with me.
Zhan Chen nodded and followed him into the Purple Smoke Hall. The Purple Smoke Hall was a majestic building with many rooms that were winding and maze-like.
Lin Fuzhi introduced to him: These rooms are used by disciples who worship under the great elder Chu Danqing to study or work.
Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask: How many disciples do Elder Chu have?
Including the elite disciples of the elders and inner disciples, there are more than 200 people in total.
Do these many elders also bring inner disciples?
Haha, you don’t know that most of the inner disciples are registered disciples, not formal disciples. Our sect has dug out all the disciples in the sect who are good at alchemy techniques and concentrated them in Nanhua Peak to worship Elder Chu.
disciples. But those inner disciples and even many elites
Disciples, none of them have the opportunity to receive guidance from Elder Chu. Elder Chu will only guide disciples with elder status like you and me or a small number of elite disciples with high alchemy qualifications. It will be up to us elders and elite disciples to guide the following.
Those elite disciples and inner disciples make alchemy.
I didn't expect it to be so complicated.
Well, you don’t know that on Nanhua Peak today, there are less than 20 people who are truly destined to receive the true biography of Elder Chu.
Zhan Chen nodded, this was in line with the normal situation.
While the two were talking, they had reached a secret room on the top floor. Lin Fuzhi shouted at the door: Elder Chu, the new elder Zhan Chen has come to perform his duties to you.
Then I heard a deep and deep voice coming from inside: Please come in.
Lin Fuzhi opened the door and said to Zhan Chen: Zhan Chen, you can go in alone, I still have to be on duty.
Zhan Chen replied: Elder Lin, go and get busy.
After Lin Fuzhi left, he walked into the secret room, which was a very simply decorated retreat room. In the middle of the large room was a concentrated incense burner, which exuded a faint fragrance and made people feel refreshed. The incense burner
There is a simple desk at the back, and behind the desk is an elegant screen.
An old man with white hair and a boyish face and a cautious expression was sitting behind the desk, his eyes slightly closed, holding a blue jade slip in his hand, and seemed to be reading the contents inside.
Zhan Chen secretly guessed: This is probably the Great Elder Chu Danqing. He is indeed extraordinary in appearance. He did not dare to come forward to disturb him, but just stood aside quietly and waited. It was not until a quarter of an hour passed that the old man opened his mouth slightly.
He opened his eyes, looked at Zhan Chen aside, and asked: Are you the new elder Zhan Chen?
Zhan Chen saluted and said loudly: Zhan Chen pays homage to Elder Chu
Chu Danqing nodded slightly and said: Well, yes, yes, you are young, but you know etiquette. When you meet a strong man, you can still remain calm, which is very valuable. Yesterday, Master Xuan specially told me that you belong to me, saying that you are extraordinary in the battle.
, you need to know how to make good use of it. When I saw it today, it really looked a bit like it.
The sect leader and Lord Chu are really ridiculous. Zhan Chen will definitely go all out to fulfill the important trust of the sect leader and the great elder.
You are good at making elixirs
good.
Can you give a live demonstration?
Please ask Elder Chu to come up with a question.
Okay, just refine a kind of elixir that you are familiar with and show it to me.
Zhan Chen subconsciously wanted to take out the Nine-turn Flame Phoenix Furnace from the Qiankun Bag, but suddenly he thought that this alchemy furnace was a valuable treasure and could not be seen by others, so he couldn't help but look a little embarrassed on his face.
Chu Danqing glanced at him and asked: Zhan Chen, what's wrong with you?
Zhan Chen lied: Great Elder, I forgot the alchemy furnace in the house.
No problem, just use this. Chu Danqing took out an alchemy furnace from his Qiankun bag and handed it to Zhan Chen's hands.
Zhan Chen took the alchemy furnace and saw that it was five times the size of the Nine-turn Flame Phoenix Furnace. Such an alchemy furnace could batch refine lower-level elixirs. He held the alchemy furnace and pondered for a long time, and suddenly a thought came to his mind.
I came up with a bold idea, which was to experiment with refining elixirs in batches.
This is an attempt, and it might as well be a breakthrough. Zhan Chen decided instantly, raised his head and said to Chu Danqing: Elder Chu, I want to refine a fifth-grade mid-level elixir called Xingyuan Dan.
, just one pill of this kind can restore most of the true energy of the powerful King Wu Dzogchen.
Oh, OK, a glimmer of interest flashed in Chu Danqing's eyes. Xingyuan Pill is a kind of pill that he has never seen before. He is willing to accept any pill that he has never seen before, no matter how low-grade it is.
Go and research.
Zhan Chen placed the alchemy furnace on the ground and took out boxes of elixirs, nearly a hundred boxes in total.
After seeing these elixirs, Chu Danqing couldn't help but ask: Wait, Zhan Chen, I'm afraid this is more than one serving of medicine.
Zhan Chen replied: Elder Chu, I want to try batch refining.
Oh, you are quite interesting. Can you succeed? Refining elixirs in batches requires a warrior to control his true energy. Can you do it?
Zhan Chen replied: Elder Chu, I have never done it before, but this time, I am willing to try. If I fail, I hope you will forgive me.
Hahaha, it doesn't matter, I like young people who are willing to try, Chu Danqing is obviously very satisfied with him.
Zhan Chen nodded, then turned his head, pressed his palms on the furnace wall, took a deep breath, slowly input the true essence into the alchemy furnace, lit the fire, and immediately felt that his true essence began to
consumption, he couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. Although he couldn't even remember the number of times he had made elixirs, in the past, Huang'er had done this part of the work on his behalf. This time it was his turn, he still felt a little...
pressure.
But Zhan Chen is no longer what he used to be. Putting aside unnecessary distractions, he quickly took out the boxes of elixirs, put them into the alchemy furnace, and extracted them one by one. He repeated this process hundreds of times without blushing.
Not out of breath. At this moment, all the elixirs have been extracted. If you look through the wall of the alchemy furnace, you will find a puddle of transparent liquid medicine floating above the fire, as warm and moist as emerald.
.
Chu Danqing watched on the side and kept nodding. Just by looking at the process of extracting the elixir, he could conclude that Zhan Chen must be an expert in alchemy.
At this time, Zhan Chen's expression became serious, and the most critical step came next. He controlled his true energy to divide the liquid medicine into nine parts. Then, he quickly moved the seal to make
The condensed elixir.
The seal formula for refining a batch of elixirs is different from that for refining a single elixir. First of all, the amount of real energy that needs to be consumed is multiple times that of a single elixir. The specific multiple will be determined based on the quantity of the elixirs to be refined. Not only that, the condensation
The elixir process requires one more seal.
Zhan Chen immediately felt that his true energy was passing away rapidly. When he pinched the last seal, it was almost exhausted. Seeing that he was about to fail, he gritted his teeth with all his strength and squeezed out another point of true energy from all the muscles in his body.
, finally completed the refining.
At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took out a spiritual elixir to replenish the true energy from the Qiankun bag and stuffed it into his mouth, and continued to warm the elixir with the slowly recovering true energy.
After half an hour, Zhan Chen finally opened the furnace cover and grabbed nine pills in his hand. When he opened it, he found three useless pills and only six were successfully refined. He was a little frustrated and thought to himself:
Without Huang'er's help, would it really be easy to fail?
But I didn't expect Chu Danqing's loud laughter to be heard next to me: Hahaha Zhan Chen, you are indeed a rare talent who can refine fifth-grade elixirs in batches, and you can actually achieve a 60% elixir success rate.
Zhan Chen asked puzzledly: Is the 60% elixir success rate still high?
Huh, it's not just high, it's very high. I thought before that your 30% elixir formation rate would be pretty good, but I didn't expect your performance to be much beyond my expectations.
Zhan Chen scratched his head and said: Haha, this is my first time trying it too.
Don't say anything anymore. Are you willing to be my apprentice?
Of course I am willing. Zhan Chen is overjoyed. It is such a blessing to have a powerful Martial Emperor and the leading alchemy master of Xuan Dao Sect as his disciple.
Master, please bow to your disciple. Zhan Chen immediately knelt down and bowed to him.
Starting from next week, Good Fight Morning, you will come to me to learn alchemy every other week. I will continue to guide you for half a year. How much you can learn by then depends on your luck. After half a year, you
He officially became an alchemist under Nanhua Peak and began to regularly refine elixirs for our sect.
yes
Okay, you must be tired today, so go back and rest.
The disciple resigned first.
After leaving Ziyan Hall, Zhan Chen did not go home, but walked down the mountain because he was finally going to get what Xuan Haoran promised to give him.
