The middle-aged woman finally found two people to talk to, and naturally she would not let them go easily. She pulled the two of them and stood outside the alchemy room to chat.
Shangguan Yan and Qing Yang have been nesting in the courtyard for the past few months, and they finally came out today. There is nothing to do anyway, so it doesn't matter if they stay a little longer. These two seniors have lived in Wuliang Mountain for a long time, so they should know the situation here better. Maybe
I can get useful information.
Shangguan Yan and the middle-aged woman seemed to be reluctant to meet each other. The more they chatted, the closer they became. Qingyang would occasionally interject a sentence, but most of his attention was focused on the old man who was refining the elixir inside.
Since refining the Golden Pill more than two years ago, Qingyang has never refined the elixir again. Now that he suddenly saw someone else refining the elixir, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
The old man in the room didn't care about the interference outside. He sat in front of the alchemy furnace and closed his eyes and meditated. He didn't know how long it took. He seemed to have gained something, so he took out the materials and placed them in front of him one by one, and then lit the furnace.
, took out the first material and threw it into the alchemy furnace.
Qingyang has seen everything in his eyes. There is no problem with the order and the technique is smooth enough. However, Qingyang always feels that something is wrong. There seems to be some gap between him and a real alchemist. However, this does not affect the elixir refining. Qingyang just
He watched quietly and didn't say much.
The old man in the room was operating in an orderly manner. After seeing more, Qingyang finally discovered the problem. There was nothing wrong with the old man's elixir recipe, the refining steps were correct, and there was no problem with the materials. Even the refining techniques were correct.
I can’t fault it, everything is correct, but when put together it’s not the same thing. How can I put it? There is no spirituality in the entire alchemy process. It is just a simple copy of the steps on the elixir recipe, without your own understanding and adjustment, and it seems very rigid.
.
Everything requires talent. If you have good talent, you will get twice the result with half the effort. If you have poor talent, you will need to spend more time than others. This is true for ordinary people, not to mention immortal cultivators. Refining alchemy is an extremely complicated matter.
, the requirements for talent are even higher. If you just rely on rote memorization and mechanical repetition of other people's actions, without your own understanding, it will be difficult to succeed.
Qingyang could tell that this old man really liked alchemy and spent a lot of energy on it. Otherwise, he would not have been able to improve his alchemy skills to the level of a foundation-building alchemist without talent. But this old man is also really
He has no talent, which can be seen from his operation.
It is said that practice makes perfect. In order to refine the Tongqiao Pill, this old man spent several years in preparation. In the past few months, he wasted dozens of materials, but it was not without gain. Although the operation was not spiritual, it was not
It's pretty good, and I haven't made any big mistakes.
Unconsciously, more than an hour passed. The old man in the room was operating according to the refining method of Tongqiao Dan. Only the last two of the hundreds of materials that were originally piled next to him were left. The refining of the elixir had reached the most critical stage.
At this moment, if everything goes well, the Tongqiao Pill may not be successfully refined, but Qingyang clearly felt that the old man seemed to be nervous.
The most taboo thing in refining elixirs is nervousness. When you are nervous, you are prone to making mistakes. Seeing that the liquid medicine in the elixir furnace was almost hot, the old man picked up the materials on the ground and threw them directly into the elixir furnace. He even forgot to clean the materials.
Qingyang felt very regretful for a while.
The old man reacted after completing the operation, but faced with this situation, he had no choice but to watch the liquid in the alchemy furnace change in an unknown direction.
He has refined the Tongqiao Pill dozens of times. Either he made a mistake at the beginning or made a mistake later. In short, he never succeeded. This time the operation went smoothly. He thought he could successfully refine the Tongqiao Pill.
Mistakes occurred, resulting in failure.
The old man was immediately very upset. In order to improve his alchemy skills, he wasted countless training time. In order to refine the elixir, he lost countless natural materials and earthly treasures. In order to refine the Tongqiao elixir, he delayed countless business matters, but in the end he still could not succeed.
Could it be that he really didn't have any talent in alchemy? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get a few more wrinkles on his face.
Seeing that the opponent's alchemy was about to fail, Qingyang finally couldn't help but said: "Increase the firepower, and at the same time, keep tapping the alchemy furnace with both hands to separate out the impurities in the materials just added, and remove the floating foam on the top and gradually reduce it.
Firepower may be able to save this furnace of elixir."
Facing the situation in front of him, the old man in the room was in a hurry and was pessimistic and disappointed. When he suddenly heard what Qingyang said, he was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw. He unconsciously followed it.
It's also amazing that with a quick and dazzling operation, the liquid in the alchemy furnace was actually saved, and the elixir refining gradually returned to normal.
Neither Shangguan Yan nor the middle-aged woman knew how to refine elixirs, but they could tell that without Qingyang's few reminders just now, the old man's elixir refining would have really failed. Both of them couldn't help but
He looked at Qingyang, his eyes full of shock and confusion.
Shangguan Yan was mainly shocked. Before she came, she heard Qingyang said that he knew alchemy, but she didn't expect that Qingyang's alchemy was so powerful. With just a few words, he could prevent the foundation-building alchemist from failing. Then his own
How advanced should the alchemy skills be? She had always had doubts about Qingyang's identity before, but now she was even more certain that Qingyang's identity was definitely not simple.
The middle-aged woman was more confused. She had observed Qingyang and Shangguan Yan when they came in, and found nothing unusual. She only thought they were two young lovers who had sneaked out for a private meeting, but they didn't.
Thinking that this boy has such a good eye for alchemy. At this time, she looked Qingyang up and down again, but still couldn't see any problem. She had no choice but to attribute this matter to the fact that the authorities are blind to the eyes, her old man is too stupid, and Qingyang
Yang is talented in alchemy.
Not only the two of them, but even the old man in the room couldn't help but turn his head. Qingyang quickly reminded: "It is most important to avoid distractions when refining alchemy. If you continue to look like this, you will really fail."
Being reminded by Qingyang, the old man in the room suddenly became alarmed and quickly turned around to continue refining his Tongqiao elixir. The previous mistakes more or less affected the refining of the elixir. In the subsequent operations, the old man's
Two more mistakes were made, all thanks to Qingyang's reminder.
Because of the first success, the old man had trust in Qingyang. After two reminders, the old man followed Qingyang's method completely without any discount. Under Qingyang's guidance, no major problems occurred again.
Despite the mistake, the refining of the Tongqiao Pill went smoothly.
