Chapter 44: Alchemy Treasure Academy
Since Xu Yang learned the Five Elements Flame Technique and obtained the Wheel Flame Spirit, the dream he had before suddenly became more frequent, and the dream became clearer. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the center of a quaint magic circle, a red egg hovered. A young girl occasionally appears inside the eggshell. This girl has no clothes on her body, and her jade body is curled up, and the sleek lines hang there quietly like a silver moon. The red hair is like a waterfall, sprinkled on the white cheeks so that people can't see the face clearly, the jade arms are like lotus roots, and the bend of the arm is faintly a plump curve that rises and falls with the breathing. From time to time, there were bursts of soft shouts: "Come-help-me, come-come-help-me." ”
What kind of strange dream is this? Where is this red egg? Who is the girl in the eggshell?
......
In recent days, Xu Yang's cultivation has become more diligent by three points, and the originally small number of pills has also been exhausted.
"Always think of a way to earn spirit stones. Otherwise, just by relying on the remuneration of taking care of the spiritual orchard, the pill would not be able to help at all. What kind of talent do you have to earn spirit stones? What you are best at is brewing wine, but ordinary mortal wine is not popular in the cultivation realm. Brewing spirit wine, and he doesn't have the recipe for spirit wine. With it, the Nightmare Beast can turn all the wine into spirit wine, and the spirit wine can be exchanged for spirit stones.
On second thought, I couldn't do it. The effect of the spirit wine produced by this beast is comparable to that of the best elixir for restoring mana. Once this wine enters the market, it will inevitably be discovered by people, and the matter of the monster will inevitably be exposed. The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty, and if he doesn't do it well, he will lead to death. Xu Yang paced around the room, thinking about it.
"I majored in the fire attribute exercises, and I learned a lot of spiritual grass knowledge during this time in the Wood Spirit Academy, so I think it should be of great benefit to refining the elixir. Since there are no spirit stones to buy pills, why don't you go to the Treasure Refining Academy in the sect as a guest disciple to learn how to refine pills?"
Since the realm has been promoted to the realm of transformation into void in a short period of time, Xiao Yue'e, the head of the Wood Spirit Academy, also attaches great importance to Xu Yang.
On the lobby of the Wood Spirit Temple. Xiao Yue'e, the head of the courtyard, was dressed in a purple brocade shirt and sat in the lobby. Xu Yang stood respectfully under the hall.
"You go to the Treasure Refining Academy as a guest disciple this time, and find Elder Li, he will naturally take care of you. I have something here, which I promised to give to Elder Li a few days ago, so you can give it to Elder Li by the way. ”
As he spoke, Elder Xiao took out a square jade box from the storage bag. A female disciple of the deacon next to her hurriedly took the jade box and handed it to Xu Yang.
Xu Yang put away the jade box, thanked him, and exited the lobby.
The Alchemy Treasure Courtyard is located on the Huoyun Peak located within the Heavenly Ghost Sect, and it is a branch of the Heavenly Ghost Sect that is responsible for refining pills and magic weapons.
Below Huoyun Peak is a huge fire-attribute leyline, which is the place where the Heavenly Ghost Sect's fire-attribute spiritual power is most abundant. The architectural style of the Alchemy Treasure Courtyard is a bit old-fashioned compared to the ancient style of the Wood Spirit Courtyard. Perhaps for the sake of fire prevention, the buildings of the Alchemy Treasure Temple are all made of huge bluestones, which is more than spectacular and not beautiful.
In a hall of the Alchemy Treasure Temple.
On a spring and autumn chair sat a middle-aged man with a round face full of red light. This person is none other than Elder Li who Xiao Yue'e asked Xu Yang to find, and he is also a very famous alchemy master of the Alchemy Academy.
Elder Li held the jade box brought by Xu Yang in his hand, opened the jade box and looked at it, and immediately smiled, and said with a smile: "My Senior Sister Xiao is really understanding, I just need this thing to refine a pill." After saying that, an ambiguous smile appeared on his face.
Sensing that he was a little out of shape, Elder Li's face froze, and he pretended to be serious and said, "Since it was personally recommended by Xiao Zhangyuan, you can practice alchemy here with me." ”
"Thank you, Elder Li. Xu Yang said respectfully.
......
In this way, Xu Yang became a guest disciple of the Alchemy Academy, learning alchemy under Elder Li.
In the alchemy room, a bronze alchemy furnace was placed on top of a small magic circle underground, and below the magic circle was a small fire attribute leyline.
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. The alchemy furnace used in alchemy is one of the most important tools for alchemy. The price of the best alchemy furnace is very expensive, far exceeding that of other magic weapons of the same level. Proficiency in fire control is the basic condition of alchemy, and good alchemy masters are all fire control masters.
Xu Yang received some simple alchemy materials from the medicinal material warehouse of the Alchemy Treasure Academy, and decided to start trying alchemy according to the records in the alchemy law record.
"Solid Dan" is a very common pill, the refining materials are relatively cheap, and Cheng Dan can strengthen the body. It is only occasionally taken by low-level monks, and it has little effect on high-level monks. Xu Yang decided to try the "Solid Pill", which was relatively easy to refine.
The first alchemy.
Xu Yang was sitting in front of the alchemy furnace, next to several materials that had been prepared. The Dan furnace is divided into two layers, the upper layer is the roasting layer where the pills are placed, and the lower layer is the furnace fire layer.
Holding his breath and concentrating, he ran the fire control technique on the Five Elements Flame Technique and tried to guide the earth fire several times. After feeling more proficient, a trick led the earth fire to the lower level of the Dan furnace. Let go of his senses, and keep his eyes fixed on the flames in the furnace without blinking. With a finger of the alchemy material next to his right hand, a mana was struck, and several alchemy materials flew into the upper layer of the Dan furnace one by one in order. Control the lid of the alchemy furnace to close the furnace lid, continue to use fire control techniques to control the size and temperature of the flame, and observe the refining status of the elixir in the furnace at any time.
An hour passed, Xu Yang hit the bottom of the furnace with a trick, stopped the fire, opened the lid of the furnace, and took the Dan in one go, and did it well.
Originally, this furnace was the amount of eight "solid pills", but when Xu Yang took out the refined pills and looked at them, only three of them could be formed. Looking at the three pills in his hand, one of them still seemed to be a little scorched, and the other was a little stiff. Only one is similar to the appearance of Cheng Dan described in the book.
Xu Yang took this seemingly successful "Solid Pill" and took a small bite slightly. The taste is bitter and slightly medicative, and the taste and medicinal power are the same as the next "solid pill" described in the book, and I feel a little comforted in my heart. Although only one of the eight materials was successful, it was the first alchemy in his life after all.
You must know that many novices in alchemy may not be able to practice a Chengdan after practicing for a few days. I thought to myself, although I was good at controlling the flames by cultivating the Five Elements Flame Technique, this alchemy was subtle and profound, and it was not a simple way to succeed by following the map, and it seemed that I had to work hard.
In the next few days, Xu Yang tried to activate the Wheel Flame Spirit in his body, and channeled the power of the Flame Spirit into the furnace fire to refine the elixir. As a result, the success of refining the earth-attribute elixir was abnormal, not only was the success rate extremely high, but the grade was also quite high. However, it has no obvious effect on refining pills with other attributes. Xu Yang was overjoyed by this discovery.
Time flies like a white horse, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye
On this day, the Alchemy Academy issued a notice that the biennial assessment of the hospital would be held in seven days.
This assessment is divided into two groups: refining and alchemy. Xu Yang, as a disciple of Li Changlong, was eligible to participate in the assessment of the alchemy group.
The first prize is a high-grade furnace. The second place prize is three high-grade elixirs. The reward for the third place is three hundred medium-grade spirit stones.
The content of the assessment is that the hospital lists the three levels of pills at the primary, intermediate and advanced levels according to the difficulty of refining, and they must pass the assessment of the three levels in turn to have a chance to obtain a good ranking. The success rate and quality of refining the elixir are the key to the score.
Seeing the reward of the first place, Xu Yang was a little moved. I don't have many spirit stones, and I can't afford to buy a high-grade alchemy furnace. The reward for the first place this time is a replica of the "Nine Dragons Red Gold Furnace". Even if it is an imitation, it can be regarded as a superb spiritual weapon.
Looking at the rules of the game, Xu Yang was secretly happy in his heart. With Xu Yang's current alchemy level, it is only an entry-level level, not to mention the top three, even the top thirty can't get in.
However, with the assistance of the Wheel Flame Spirit, the grasp of refining the earth-attribute elixir is still great. As long as you choose an earth-attribute elixir to refine every time and strive for a good ranking, you can still give it a try. Although it is a bit tricky, it is also due to ability.
After deciding to participate in the assessment, Xu Yang thought about it and chose an earth-attribute pill called "Underworld Black Blood Pill" as the ultimate goal of this assessment.
The "Underworld Blood Pill" is made from the Crystal of the Underworld and the essence blood of the Ghost Monkey taken from the Land of Ghost Roar. This pill is extremely difficult to refine, and the effect is that it can nourish the qi and blood of the cultivators who practice the ghost path exercises, and it is very beneficial to break through the bottlenecks of various cultivations. Since it can be used by monks of all levels, the demand is large, the materials are precious, and it is extremely difficult to refine. Therefore, this Dan is quite valuable.
The disciples who participated in the assessment were assigned to the small closed alchemy rooms in the examination room. Before refining the pill, the contestant is required to search his body to prevent the contestant from bringing in the finished pill.
Xu Yang was in the No. 23 alchemy room.
The assessment begins.
According to the formula of the elixir selected by the contestants, the materials of the competition were placed in front of each alchemy room by the deacon disciples one by one. Then, after the three competition supervisors take turns to inspect them, the assessment disciples can collect the materials into the alchemy room for refining.
"The primary assessment begins!" With a command from the competition superintendent, the primary assessment began.
A cup of tea exercise passed.
A small red flag was the first to be erected outside the alchemy room on the twenty-third, representing the completion of refining.
"Twenty-three, the refining is complete. ”
The deacon disciples of the competition took away the five "Di Jiao Dan" that Xu Yang had placed on the tray and brought them to the competition supervisor for grading.
Five pieces is already the maximum number that can be cultivated by these refining materials, and the success rate is one hundred percent. Each brown pill refined by Xu Yang had three silver stripes on it, and it was a top-grade pill.
When the five "Di Jiao Dan" were brought to the competition supervisor. The three elders in charge of grading all had satisfied expressions on their faces.
After that, other disciples finished refining one after another.
Xu Yang successfully passed the primary assessment.
The process of the intermediate assessment is the same as that of the primary assessment. In order not to attract too much attention from others, Xu Yang did not take out the cultivated pill as soon as possible. Instead, wait for the two people in front of them to practice well, and then hand over the pill.
There were still five pills, each with three silver stripes on it.
In this way, Xu Yang successfully entered the final level as he wished, a high-level assessment.
Inside the alchemy room No. 23.
In front of Xu Yang was a small green porcelain vase and a slightly larger white porcelain jar.
When I opened the green vial, a strong smell of blood came to my face, and there was a faint bitter taste in the smell of blood.
"Ghost black monkey essence blood. Xu Yang said to himself.
The other porcelain jar contained the crystals of the underworld that Xu Yang had refined from the underworld that he had seen in the Underworld Phantom Killing Array in the Ghost Howling Land, each of which was the size of a soybean, in an irregular shape, flashing with black crystals and a trace of ghostly energy.
I silently recited the refining process twice in my heart before I began to officially refine it.
Xu Yang carefully crushed the Underworld Crystal into a fine powder. Then mix the essence blood and the crystal powder of the underworld in a certain proportion to make a pill. Five purple-black Dan blanks were neatly placed on the refining and baking tray, and then placed in the Dan furnace roasting room.
