Feiyun Peak, inside Feiyun Hall. Zhan Chen knelt down in front of Zhao He and said loudly: Disciple, I pay my respects to the master.
Zhao He looked at Zhan Chen and couldn't help but froze, and murmured: Zhan Chen, you really made a breakthrough.
Yes, according to the method you told me, teacher, Zhan Chen stood up and said excitedly.
How could it happen so quickly? Zhao He still can't believe it. How long did it take for Zhan Chen to break through the 12th level of martial arts and then immediately break through to the first level of martial arts? You must know that although he was hailed as a genius back then, he had also accumulated enough experience at the 12th level of martial arts.
It took a whole year before I found the opportunity for a breakthrough.
Now, Zhan Chen seemed to have skipped this accumulation process and went straight up in cultivation.
Zhan Chen scratched his head and said confusedly: Teacher, I don’t know how I got the breakthrough. Maybe it was a coincidence.
Zhao He looked at him for a long time and was speechless. This registered disciple brought him too many surprises, so he had to say: Forget it, there is no need to delve into the cause and effect. Since you can break through, it means that it is you.
Opportunity. But remember, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and you still need to continue to work hard. The next goal is to become an elite disciple.
It was the master. At this time, Zhan Chen's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
Zhao He nodded and said: I once said that after you break through the martial arts master, you can officially become my disciple and join my Feiyun Peak. Are you willing?
Disciple is willing
Good Zhao He suddenly stood up from his position, handed a token into his hand, and said: From today on, you are my fourth disciple, Zhao He. Before you, there are three unsatisfactory senior brothers and sisters.
Two days are exactly the time when I will teach you alchemy. Then you can come over and meet them.
I have already chosen to practice metal Qi in alchemy, can I still learn it? Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask, in his impression, alchemists are generally users of fire or wood Qi.
Why not? It is true that when you refine elixirs with fire attribute qi, you get twice the result with half the effort; when you refine elixirs with wood attribute qi, you can improve the spirituality of the elixir. But if holders of other attribute qi learn with an open mind, they can still become very good alchemists.
, what is needed to control the elixir fire is the precise control of the true energy, not the attributes of the true energy, do you understand?
Zhan Chen was still not convinced and asked again: Teacher, is there really no impact?
Zhao He was silent for a while and said: If we really want to talk about the impact, it is that the holders of other attribute Qi consume twice as much Qi as the fire attribute Qi users in the process of refining the elixir. But don't worry, whatever
As your cultivation level increases, this influence will only become smaller and smaller.
A flash of light flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes and he said: Teacher, if this is the case, I will learn this alchemy technique.
After hearing Zhan Chen's words, Zhao He finally burst out laughing: Hahaha, you are so ambitious. I'm just waiting for your words. If you don't learn alchemy, wouldn't it be a joke if you join my sect, Zhao He?
Zhan Chen also laughed. Being able to learn alchemy will indeed be of great help to him in the future. Not only can he refine some of the elixirs he needs, such as Lingxiao Pill, but he can also make money from the refined elixirs.
.
Two days later, in the main hall of Feiyun Palace, Zhao He introduced his two senior brothers and one senior sister to Zhan Chen one by one. After the four of them finished the ceremony, they heard Zhao He say: Zhan Chen, you are new here, you are the first teacher.
Let me tell you the principle of alchemy.
I saw him take out a bronze alchemy furnace from the Qiankun bag, which was about the size of a football. He held it in one hand and introduced: This is the most commonly used second-grade alchemy furnace. Generally, the higher the level.
The larger the alchemy furnace is, the more refined the workmanship is, and the more complicated the formations inside the furnace are.
When we are refining elixirs, we only need to put our hands near the elixir furnace and send the true energy into it to activate the formation in the furnace, form the elixir fire and refine the elixir.
Of course, refining alchemy is not such a simple process. It is mainly divided into three major steps: the first step is refining, which is to put all kinds of medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace one by one and burn them, and then extract the essence;
The second step is to condense the elixir, which is to use various fingering techniques and seals to condense the medicinal power into elixir;
The third step is to warm and cure, which means to keep the refined elixir in the elixir furnace and carefully quench it over a slow fire. This can further remove impurities in the elixir and improve the quality of the elixir.
Zhan Chen, do you understand?
Zhan Chen nodded and said: I understand, master.
Okay, you follow me to the alchemy room in the back.
So Zhan Chen followed Zhao He and others from the side door to the alchemy room at the back of the main hall.
This is a large room with an area of nearly 100 square meters. In the middle of the room, there is a large alchemy furnace that is most eye-catching. It is the size of a water tank and half a person tall. It is made of pure gold and has many dragon patterns carved on it.
Looks graceful and elegant.
Zhao He looked at the big alchemy furnace in the center of the room and couldn't help but smile and said: Zhan Chen, this is your first time here. This is a good treasure for my teacher. It is the only fourth-grade alchemy furnace in the sect. It is the best to use it.
It is possible to refine fifth-grade elixirs, but unfortunately my master's skills are not perfect, and at most I can only refine fourth-grade top-grade elixirs.
Zhan Chen tried his best to imagine the fourth-grade top-level elixir, but he couldn't imagine how effective such an elixir would be.
You go to review and refine the rejuvenation pill first. Zhao He said to everyone except Zhan Chen.
Ah, master, the rejuvenation elixir is just a first-grade elixir. We have refined it hundreds of times. The three of them said in unison.
Well, what can you do? There are a few unsatisfactory things. Even the rejuvenation pill cannot be refined to the satisfaction of the master. How can I safely teach you higher alchemy skills? You need to know that the small rejuvenation pill contains
The three major processes of alchemy are the basis. You haven't even learned to walk, do you still want to learn to run? Zhao He saw the impatient looks on the three of them and scolded angrily.
The three of them were scolded so much that they didn't dare to tsk, so they had to pick up three alchemy furnaces from the shelf on the side and continue to refine the rejuvenation pill.
At this time, Zhan Chen noticed that there were more than a dozen alchemy furnaces of various sizes placed on the shelf on one side.
Zhao He said to Zhan Chen: Zhan Chen, those are second-grade alchemy furnaces. You should also choose one.
Zhan Chen randomly picked an alchemy furnace and came back.
Come, sit in front of me and put the alchemy furnace here. At this time, Zhao He was already sitting on the futon beside him and pointed to the floor in front of him.
Zhan Chen followed his instructions.
First, you try to start this alchemy furnace, and I will demonstrate it to you first.
Zhao He stretched out his right hand and directed a stream of true energy towards the alchemy furnace on the ground. Through the fine ventilation holes on the furnace, a group of orange flames could be seen rising in the furnace. Zhao He was very surprised.
The transfer of true energy soon stopped, and the flame in the furnace was extinguished.
Come and give it a try too.
Zhan Chen curiously followed Zhao He's example, and then sent a burst of infuriating energy into the furnace. Sure enough, with a roar, the flame that had just disappeared started to burn again.
Seeing this, Zhao He couldn't help but smile and said: How about it, it's simple, alchemy is not as complicated as you think.
Zhan Chen nodded excitedly, but he had doubts in his heart and asked: Teacher, since alchemy is not complicated, then the alchemists on the mainland should have been overcrowded for a long time, but why haven't I seen such a situation happen? On the contrary, can
There is only one person out of ten who can become an alchemist.
Haha, there are many reasons. In fact, alchemy is not as simple as you think. First of all, although the threshold is not high, it requires various skills to manipulate the true energy. These are at least beyond the reach of martial arts disciples, so you must become an alchemist.
The lowest level of cultivation requires a martial artist. By analogy, to refine higher-level elixirs, a higher level of alchemy is required.
Secondly, practicing alchemy requires a good teacher. Each alchemist regards his own unique method of alchemy, fingering, and sealing as a treasure and does not easily pass it on to others. These details directly determine the quality of the elixir and the medicine.
Effective. Some precious elixirs even require unique techniques to form seals before they can be successfully refined.
Finally, learning alchemy is a costly job. The rate of elixir creation for novices is very low, so it is difficult to continue learning without certain financial support.
After listening to the teacher's various explanations about alchemy, Zhan Chen finally had a deeper understanding of the methods involved.
As the saying goes, a master leads you in, and cultivation depends on the individual. A master can only teach you what he knows. If you want to go further and further on the road of alchemy, you still need to make great efforts and even have many opportunities.
Coincidentally, these are things that a teacher cannot help you with.
When Zhan Chen heard this, he bowed to Zhao He again and thanked him: "Teacher, you have shown me kindness and kindness, and my disciple will never forget it."
Zhao He waved his hand and said: Haha, don't come with any frivolous things. In fact, my teacher is optimistic about your future, so I am willing to invest more in you. It can be regarded as a kind of investment.
Zhan Chen stood up and said solemnly: No matter what I say, you helped me, and this will never change.
Whatever you think, let's start by refining the first-grade rejuvenation elixir. I'll demonstrate it first. Later, you mainly need to write down the sealing gestures of my elixir condensation. This is the most basic.
Zhan Chen nodded and began to pay attention to Zhao He's gestures.
I saw Zhao He, opening the lid of the alchemy furnace, putting a portion of the medicinal materials required for the rejuvenation pill into it, covering the furnace lid, and sending the true energy towards the alchemy furnace.
Just with a whirring sound, a flame rose up in the furnace, wrapping all the medicinal materials and burning them carefully. After a while, part of the impurities in the medicinal materials turned into gas and volatilized into the air, and part of them turned into slag and fell to the bottom of the furnace.
Only a ball of viscous essence was left, beating in the flames. At this moment, one hand of Zhao He continued to deliver the true energy to the alchemy furnace, and the other hand quickly left the furnace and wrote rapidly in the air.
, wherever the tip of the hand passed, it quickly condensed into five infuriating runes.
Then I heard him shout loudly: Ning pointed his finger towards the alchemy furnace, and the five true energy runes quickly disappeared into the furnace.
Then a magical scene happened. The liquid in the furnace shrank rapidly and slowly turned into dozens of small pills, rolling in the furnace.
Then, Zhao He reduced the transmission of true energy, and the fire instantly became smaller. After another fifteen minutes or so, a strong medicinal fragrance began to escape from it.
At this moment, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao He's mouth, he waved his finger and shouted: Qi
The furnace lid popped open automatically, and the pills flew out one after another and fell into the jade bottle he had prepared in advance.
Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask: Teacher, is this all right?
Zhao He nodded happily and said: Yes, take a look.
Zhan Chen quickly took the jade bottle from his hand and opened it. He poured it out and saw that it was indeed the same as the rejuvenation pill he usually took. He immediately showed a happy expression.
Just now, did you see clearly the fingerprints I made when I was condensing the elixir? Then I heard Zhao He ask again.
Well, write it down.
Well now it's your turn.
Has this started? Zhan Chen asked hesitantly.
Why don't you have confidence? Zhao He looked at him provocatively.
You Zhanchen is no longer pretentious
This is a rejuvenation pill. Zhao He took out a portion of the medicine from the storage bag and handed it to Zhan Chen.
Zhan Chen looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him, and his heart began to beat hard.
