Shi Yingxue looked at the changing expressions on Aunt Jun's face in front of her and felt a little unpredictable, so she stopped talking and just waited for Aunt Jun to speak.
"That's all, show me the elixir you made." Aunt Jun said after being silent for a while.
Shi Yingxue handed the porcelain bottle in her hand to Aunt Jun.
Aunt Jun pulled out the cork, gently poured it onto the handkerchief in her palm, and poured out four or five pills.
Among these four or five pills, three are not much different in appearance. They are all light green in appearance, like jade beads; one is milky white, I don’t know what it is; and the other is black.
Weird, I don't understand what it is.
Aunt Jun recognized the three light green pills as the Qingqing Dan. She picked up the Qingqing Dan from her palm rather pickyly, first put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it, then looked at it with her consciousness, and finally put it down one by one.
After entering the mouth, he pursed his lips slightly with a handkerchief and said: "You have made these three pure elixirs very well. Two are top grade and one is medium grade. You are done."
Shi Yingxue already knew in her heart that the middle-grade stone was refined by Shi Yingxue using the small cauldron purchased in the auction house. It was the first one. She was very satisfied that it could be refined into a medium-grade stone.
The two top-grade ones were refined using the small cauldron donated by Yuan Qian and the cauldron furnace in the alchemy room respectively. The raw materials are the same as Qinghuo, and the output is similar.
This result was quite in line with Shi Yingxue's expectations, so she nodded, not feeling very proud or complacent.
Aunt Jun looked at the other two pills in her hand, with some doubts in her eyes: "What are these two pills?"
"The white one is also produced from the same recipe as the previous Purifying Pill. It's just that something happened during the alchemy process that I couldn't control. The final pill was just a small pill of this. The black one
pieces..."
Shi Yingxue was still explaining, but she didn't expect Aunt Jun to suddenly interrupt her and ask, "What is it that is uncontrollable?"
Shi Yingxue pondered for a moment before replying: "After the initial elixir was condensed, I felt like I had entered a state of sleep, and my five senses became duller, but everything was still under my control.
In the process, you can also consciously control your actions.”
The expression on Aunt Jun's face gradually turned to astonishment: "Seriously? Did you remember correctly?"
Shi Yingxue said a little strangely: "No."
"This state is bound to occur in the process of refining the best elixir. Because all your thoughts have been devoted to refining the elixir uncontrollably, so your five senses will inevitably start to become dull. However, there has been no top elixir in the Qingjing Dan since ancient times.
What does the medicine produce?" Aunt Jun was puzzled.
Shi Yingxue didn't understand even more. She didn't understand these things herself, and Aunt Jun didn't understand it, and she didn't understand it even more. Speaking of which, she never thought that she would be able to produce a magical elixir for the first time, but Jun
My aunt also said that the recipe of Qingjing Dan does not produce the best elixir at all. What is going on?
When Aunt Jun looked at Yingxue, she had a confused look on her face. She also frowned and said after a while: "That's it, can you give me this pill? I have been refining pills for many years, and this is the first time I know that the pure pill can produce the best quality pills."
I want to take the elixir back and study it carefully, is that okay?"
"Of course you can." Shi Yingxue asked for the Purifying Pill but it was of no great use. Although this was the first time she refined the best pill, she didn't have the urge to commemorate it. Aunt Jun could just use it for research.
take it.
Aunt Jun nodded and accepted it. After thinking about it, she pulled Shi Yingxue and said to her: "There are countless prescriptions in the world that have been summarized by our ancestors, and half of them are unavailable."
Of the top-grade elixirs, the remaining half will yield top-grade pills, but the pure pills will not. Do you know the reason?"
Shi Yingxue shook her head.
"Because Qingqing Dan is one of the most basic elixir recipes. The simpler the elixir, the less likely it is to produce the best. On the contrary, the more difficult and complex the elixir is to produce the best. Of course, whether the elixir can produce the best depends on the alchemist himself.
That's it, this is just a macro concept, do you understand what I mean?"
Shi Yingxue thought for a while and immediately said that she understood: "What Aunt Jun means is that compared with the same period, the simple pill recipes are not the best, but the difficult ones are. For example, the Qingjing Pill is the best pill.
, and pills like Shenzhi Linglong Pill are easy to produce the best pills, and the best pills are produced by the alchemists according to their own abilities, is this what you mean?"
She understood it, and Aunt Jun was not stingy with her praise: "Yes, children can be taught."
However, she paused and asked again: "Where did you hear about Shenzhi Linglong Pills? The elixir of this pill is not easy to obtain, nor is it easy to refine."
Shi Yingxue shook her head: "I know it's a very difficult elixir to make, but I don't know what it is specifically."
Aunt Jun responded and stopped worrying about this. Instead, she turned to the last remaining black pill: "Then what is this pill?"
Speaking of which, what Yingxue cared about most at that time was not the pure elixirs she had refined, but the black elixir that Aunt Jun had squeezed to the end. When Aunt Jun finally asked, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "
Actually, I don’t know what this is, but I think since Aunt Jun has given me so many medicinal materials, I don’t have many opportunities in the alchemy room, so I might as well seize this time and try to refine some other elixirs.”
Aunt Jun felt that there was something unreasonable about Shi Yingxue.
For no other reason than to ensure that the refined elixirs are better compared and the results are more fair and just, at the beginning, only one elixir recipe was given to the disciples, and this year’s one is
As for the Qingjing Dan, no other elixir can be refined from the remaining medicinal materials.
What was this one that Yingxue took out at that time?
If it were anyone else, Aunt Jun would still think she was cheating for personal gain, but she thought she knew Shi Yingxue very well and knew that she would disdain to do such a thing. So how on earth was this pill refined?
What about?
Aunt Jun asked Shi Yingxue what raw materials were used to refine it. Shi Yingxue replied without hesitation, with a hint of a smile on her face: "Actually, I didn't do anything else. I just mixed all the medicinal materials together."
The pot was simmering. Originally, I just wanted to see what would happen if I made an elixir against common sense and used incompatible medicinal properties. I thought that the elixir would definitely not be produced, but everything turned out to be normal, and the furnace did not explode. In the end, I was
After refining such a thing, I don’t know what it is, and I don’t have the determination of Shen Nong to taste the herbs, so I have to take it out and show it to you.”
ha?
What is this operation?
Aunt Jun had always followed the principles of medicinal properties and harmony since the beginning of alchemy. She never expected that Shi Yingxue would do the opposite.
Theoretically speaking, refining drugs with conflicting properties together is doomed to fail at the step of essence fusion. If divine consciousness is used to intervene forcibly, the only outcome will be a frying pan. How could Shi Yingxue do it?
This is really contrary to Aunt Jun's understanding for thousands of years.
Shi Yingxue didn't understand either. For her, she had tried her best to get the results of this test. The only thing she wanted to know was why the elixir could be made even if the properties of the medicine were not harmonious.
Aunt Jun didn't understand even more. This almost overturned her knowledge about alchemy, and she was also confused.
However, now is not the time to discuss the elixir recipe. After much thought, Aunt Jun suppressed this doubt first, put it away together, and asked: "Ruyi, can I see your spiritual fire?"
Shi Yingxue didn't know why she thought of the ghost story Yuan Qian told her again. She couldn't help but smile in her heart, but her face said openly: "Of course it's okay."
As he spoke, he held out his green fire, and a pale flame appeared on his fingertips, looking very dreamy.
Aunt Jun probably glanced at it with her spiritual consciousness, and the expression on her face relaxed slightly: "Yes, this flame is already very pure, just right for making elixirs."
This comment made Shi Yingxue slightly stunned, but she didn't think much about it and just nodded: "Thank you, Aunt Jun, for the compliment."
After saying this, the two of them fell into a strange silence for some reason.
Shi Yingxue was wondering, whether success or failure was only a matter of Aunt Jun's words. She was not the kind of person who couldn't accept it. As long as Aunt Jun told the truth, she wouldn't be unable to accept it.
Speaking of which, she was obviously competing with Xie Ning, but she didn't know what the result of Xie Ning's alchemy would be. Would it be better than hers?
Aunt Jun looked at Shi Yingxue's appearance and felt confused and tired.
Finally, Shi Yingxue couldn't bear the tortured silence anymore and took the initiative to say: "Aunt Jun, can Senior Brother Xie Ning's elixir be refined?"
Aunt Jun couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when she heard this. She thought about her wording, and finally said with some regret: "...A Ning, he can only be your junior brother from now on."
"What?" Shi Yingxue didn't understand what Aunt Jun meant for a while, so she couldn't help but ask.
But Aunt Jun waved her hand and said: "It's okay. You defeated him this time. From now on, you will be a direct disciple of my alchemy department. From now on, you can just follow me to learn alchemy."
Shi Yingxue had a slight surprise on her face, but seeing the tired look on Aunt Jun's face, she finally swallowed her doubts and said, "Yes, I have met Master."
Aunt Jun asked Shi Yingxue for her disciple's jade plaque. Shi Yingxue knew that she probably wanted to add changes to her own jade plaque, so she took it out directly and showed it to Aunt Jun.
Her face looked calm, but her heart was full of doubts.
She understood the meaning of the sentence just now after thinking about it carefully. It simply meant that Shi Yingxue became the winner and could be accepted as a disciple by Aunt Jun, and could learn how to make alchemy in the future; while Xie Ning became the loser and had to wait until
The competition will be held in the next quarter, and at that time Xie Ning will be accepted as a disciple by Aunt Jun again, and will be ranked behind Shi Yingxue in the ranking. From now on, she will be called Senior Sister Shi Yingxue.
What exactly happened?
Shi Yingxue was a little confused.
But at this time, she knew it was better not to ask, so she knelt down and gave Aunt Jun the master-disciple ceremony.
Shi Yingxue was so pious and conscientious every time she gave the master's gift. She didn't care whether her clothes would be stained. Her posture was regular and standard, making the recipients feel something in their hearts every time.
touch.
The expression on Aunt Jun's face was a little relaxed, and there was a hint of sigh in her eyes.
In fact, she knew that Shi Yingxue must not understand why he directly accepted her as his apprentice, but Shi Yingxue was so calm and calm, knowing what to ask and what not to ask, saying nothing else, only saluting.
She is too transparent and sensitive, and sometimes makes Aunt Jun feel a little guilty.
Aunt Jun had already finished changing the contents of the jade plaque. She gave Shi Yingxue a virtual support, then handed the jade plaque back to Shi Yingxue's hand and said, "Okay, you get up first. There is no need to perform this grand ceremony today."
, in the future, when you officially enter the school, you will report to all your senior brothers and sisters for the Master Council, and then you will comfort the heaven and earth."
Shi Yingxue bowed her hands.
Aunt Jun said: "You should go back first, and I will tell your master about the future arrangements. Just ask him to pass it on to you."
"Yes, disciple, please leave." Shi Yingxue gave a final greeting to Aunt Jun, packed her things, and left quickly.
Shi Yingxue's mind was the most sensitive. Why didn't Xie Ning show up? Based on her understanding of Xie Ning, he was definitely not someone who was afraid of losing. Even if he didn't refine anything, he would definitely come to see him.
See what Shi Yingxue can refine;
It's also impossible that he hasn't left the alchemy room yet. If he hasn't completed the alchemy yet, Aunt Jun will never directly accept Shi Yingxue as her disciple.
What exactly happened?
Shi Yingxue vaguely felt that it would be better for her to figure this out, otherwise it would very likely become a very difficult point for herself, Xie Ning, and Aunt Jun to resolve in the future.
But now is not a good time. Aunt Jun obviously doesn't want to say it, and Shi Yingxue won't hit the gun and ask stupidly. Let's see if there is any other way to learn about this matter from other channels.
-----
Shi Yingxue left Hongyan Island to listen to Iceland. It was rare that she didn't meet anyone on the way. Thinking about whether she was accompanied by her senior sister before, or she met her master on the way back, now she was alone, and she actually felt...
Somewhat empty.
Habits are really terrible things. After a long time, companionship will penetrate into the bone marrow. Just like Shi Yingxue before, she would never think that Gong Tingyu would become alienated from him, and Shi Yingxue now would not at all.
I dare not imagine what it would be like if I left Yunlang Road, Ye Qingqiu and Yuan Qian in the future?
Shi Yingxue didn't know either.
But she knows that there is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever.
So cherish the moment and treat everyone around you well.
Thinking like this, Shi Yingxue reorganized her mood and headed all the way to Iceland.
