Zhan Chen took out a dozen boxes of elixirs and a jade slip from the Qiankun bag that Chu Danqing gave him, picked up the jade slip and read it.
Flowing Cloud Pill is a sixth-grade high-level elixir with water attributes. The refining method is not complicated, but it is very difficult to refine it well.
Because the potency of water-based elixirs is usually relatively soft and mild, when handling the elixir, the heat must be controlled very skillfully. It should not be too high, which will reduce the potency of the elixir; nor should it be too low, which will reduce the potency of the elixir.
In this way, it is impossible to fully extract the elixir.
The master asked such a question to test his mastery of the furnace control technique.
Zhan Chen was still thinking carefully when he heard Chu Danqing on the other side say: Okay, let's get started.
He had to cut off his distracting thoughts and focus on refining the elixir. He raised the fire in the furnace as he usually did, then opened the jade box, put the elixir in the elixir into the elixir furnace and began to temper it.
Strange to say, once he entered the alchemy state, Zhan Chen forgot all about worries or exams. Now all his energy has been firmly attracted by the alchemy furnace in front of him, and his fingertips are constantly changing, pinching out seals one after another.
Controlling the changes in the furnace fire, turning each elixir into the purest spiritual liquid, all of this is done in one go, without any stagnation or hesitation in between.
Gradually, Zhan Chen entered an ethereal state, and everything he had learned and done on the road to alchemy came to mind at this moment.
From the perspective of the outside world, his movements are becoming more and more skillful, and his furnace control skills are becoming more and more precise, as if there is some kind of unique rhythm.
At this time, Zhan Chen had a strange feeling, that is, he was not making elixirs, but playing a beautiful piece of music, which was fascinating and intoxicating.
What he didn't realize was that Chu Danqing, who was sitting opposite him, was staring at him with a strange light shining in his eyes, and he was stroking his beard from time to time.
It wasn't until he took out the elixir from the elixir furnace that Zhan Chen woke up. Staring at the blue elixir in his hand that exuded a three-color elixir halo, he was a little distracted. This was the first time he had just used it.
I refined the golden elixir with elixir halo by myself, and it was a third-turn golden elixir.
He tried hard to recall the state he was in when he was refining the alchemy, but he could no longer recall that feeling.
Hahaha, third-turn golden elixir, Zhan Chen, you are the most talented alchemist I have ever seen. In just half a year, you have reached a height that other alchemists can hardly reach in their lifetime. I read that right.
Chu Danqing, who has always been strict with you, laughed heartily when he saw this. He was much prouder than refining the third-turn golden elixir himself.
It is also understandable that it is a joyful thing for a teacher to teach a disciple with a bright future, a disciple who may be better than his master.
Zhan Chen said with shame: Teacher, to be honest with you, if you ask me to refine such a third-turn golden elixir again, I will definitely not be able to refine it.
Chu Danqing smiled and said: Zhan Chen, I believe you can do it. If there is one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be three. From tomorrow on, you will be a qualified alchemist in Nanhua Peak. Just follow me and fight.
He is also one of my direct disciples
Zhan Chen was overjoyed when he heard that this meant that Chu Danqing was willing to teach him all his alchemy skills. He immediately bowed to him: The disciple must do his best and live up to his trust.
From then on, he often followed Chu Danqing to refine elixirs, and gradually learned many skills.
Time flies, the years pass by, and Zhan Chen gradually adapts to the life in Xuan Dao Sect. The elder's work is very leisurely, except for regularly refining some elixirs for the sect, and at other times he provides
At your own discretion.
In the first three years of his tenure at Nanhua Peak, Zhan Chen mainly studied with Chu Danqing. On the other hand, he also refined many elixirs for his wife Su Yun to improve her cultivation. With his extremely luxurious support,
Su Yun finally moved up another level, reaching the high level of King Wu.
On this day, he prepared a banquet to celebrate Su Yun's breakthrough, and the couple sat and drank together.
Zhan Chen filled the wine glass in front of him, raised it and said: Yun'er, today is a day worth celebrating. Come, let's drink together.
Su Yun smiled slightly and raised her wine glass. The two of them clinked the glasses and drank it all.
When Zhan Chen saw that Su Yun was not in a very high mood, he couldn't help being stunned and asked with a smile: "Yun'er, what's wrong? You've made a breakthrough, what else is there to worry about?"
Su Yun stared at Zhan Chen and said seriously: Zhan Chen, I feel that I have really become a burden to you. In the past three years, you have been busy improving my cultivation and never thought about yourself.
Zhan Chen drank another drink for himself, and then said with a smile: Yun'er, with the relationship between you and me now, do you still need to say such outspoken words? I am happy to serve you. Besides, you are wrong, I am also practicing,
It's also improving. You don't understand that it takes an extremely long time for Emperor Wu's cultivation to accumulate. Even with sufficient support from pills, it won't be possible to break through in a few years. Rather than doing this, I'd better help you improve your cultivation first.
Su Yun said: Zhan Chen, don't worry about me anymore. Although this breakthrough is very fast, I feel that the foundation is a bit unstable. It seems that using pills to break through is not a long-term solution.
When Zhan Chen heard what she said, he lowered his head and stopped talking. It was indeed true. Even she felt that the power she had gained from pills recently was vain, not to mention Su Yun who had always stayed in the paradise of the sect. She was even more
It lacks the experience of blood and fire, and lacks the fight between life and death.
Zhan Chen, stop refining elixirs for me. In the near future, I want to consolidate it, and you yourself need to improve.
Zhan Chen finally raised his head and agreed: Okay, but Yun'er, if you need me, I can do anything for you right away.
In this way, Zhan Chen was completely liberated. Just when he was full of ambition and ready to do something big, and tried hard to sprint towards the middle level of Emperor Martial, there was a major change that overturned all his previous plans, or disrupted them.
All arrangements between him and Su Yun.
Three months later, Su Yun felt that she was pregnant
This is such great news. The father-to-be, Zhan Chen, suddenly became overwhelmed and had no thoughts on his cultivation. Whenever he had free time, he would come to Su Yun's place to sit there, and he would take aim at Su Yun's belly from time to time.
One glance.
Su Yun was amused by his look and said with a smile: What's the matter? I've never seen anyone pregnant before.
Zhan Chen laughed and made a poor excuse: Su Yun, I think you are the most beautiful now.
Su Yun glared at him with big white eyes and said: My body is deformed, why do I keep doing this every time?
Beautiful, extremely beautiful, our pregnant Yun'er is the most beautiful in the world. Zhan Chen couldn't help but grinned again.
The room was suddenly filled with an atmosphere of joy and drama.
Under the careful care of Zhan Chen and his wife, and after nearly two years of pregnancy, they finally welcomed the birth of their son.
That day, when the morning sun came up, a loud cry was born as the sun broke through the clouds. Then I saw Zhan Chen excitedly and carefully holding his newborn child, rushing out the door, holding the baby high above his head, and welcoming him.
Staring at the rising sun, with tears in her eyes, she shouted loudly: "I finally have a son, Mom and Dad, have you seen that our Zhan family has a daughter-in-law?"
At this time, Su Yun's slightly tired voice came from the room: Zhan Chen, bring the child in quickly and give me a closer look.
Only then did Zhan Chen realize what he was doing. He hurriedly carried the child back to the house, came to Su Yun's bedside, and asked with concern: Su Yun, how do you feel?
Su Yun shook her head gently and replied: I'm fine, quickly bring the child over and show me.
Zhan Chen hurriedly took the child over. Su Yun held the child with both hands, put it in her arms and looked at it carefully, as if she couldn't get enough of it, and her face naturally showed the light of loving motherhood.
After a long time, she suddenly turned her head, looked at Zhan Chen aside, and said: Dad, give the child a name.
When choosing a name, Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment. Yes, the child should have a name. What should it be called? Suddenly he saw the lovely Chu Yang outside the window again. His face stretched and he smiled and said: This child is different from
Like me, I came to this world in the morning. What a coincidence. My name is Zhan Chen, let’s call him Zhan Xu. The rising sun is full of hope.
Well, okay, even if I call Zhan Xu, his mother will happily nod her head.
In this way, Zhan Xu came into this world. As new parents, Zhan Chen and Su Yunke were very busy. They circled around him all day long, as if this child was the center of their world.
However, what Zhan Chen never expected was that Zhan Xu was not his first child. Years later, whenever he recalled this incident, there would always be a hint of self-blame and a touch of regret.
