Feiyun Peak, inside the Feiyun Palace. Zhan Chen knelt down in front of Zhao He and said loudly: "The apprentice has asked the master to say goodbye." ”

Zhao He couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at Zhan Chen, and murmured, "Zhan Chen, are you really breaking through?"

"Yes, according to the method you told me, teacher!" Zhan Chen stood up and said excitedly.

"How could it be so fast?" Zhao He still couldn't believe it, how long had it been since Zhan Chen broke through the twelfth layer of martial artists? and immediately broke through to the first level of martial artists, you must know that although he was known as a genius back then, he had also accumulated a whole year in the realm of the twelfth layer of martial apprentices before he found an opportunity to break through.

Now, Zhan Chen seems to have skipped this process of accumulation, and his cultivation has gone up directly.

Zhan Chen scratched his head and said confusedly: "Teacher, I don't know, how did I break through, maybe it was a coincidence." ”

Zhao He looked at him speechless for a long time, this named disciple had brought too much surprise to himself, so he had no choice but to say: "Forget it, you don't have to delve into the cause and effect, since you can break through, it means that it is your chance." But remember, guard against arrogance and rashness, you still need to continue to work hard, and the next goal is the elite disciple. ”

"Yes! Master. At this time, Zhan Chen's eyes were full of war.

Zhao He nodded, and said, "I once said that after you break through the martial arts, you will be able to officially become my disciple and enter my Feiyun Peak, are you willing?"

"Willing to do it!"

"Okay!" Zhao He stood up from his position, handed a token to him, and said: "From today on, you are my Zhao He's fourth disciple, and before you, there are three unassuming senior brothers and sisters, and in two days it is exactly the time for me to teach you alchemy, and you will also come over and meet them at that time." ”

"Alchemy? I have already chosen to cultivate metallic true qi, can I still learn it?" Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask, in his impression, alchemists were generally users of fire attribute or wood attribute true qi.

"How can't it? It is true that the fire attribute true qi refining the pill can get twice the result with half the effort, and the wood attribute true qi refining pill can improve the spirituality of the pill. But if the holders of other attribute True Qi learn with an open mind, they can still become a good alchemist, and to control the Danhuo, what is needed is the mastery of the True Qi, not the attribute of the True Qi, do you understand?"

Zhan Chen was still not convinced, and asked again, "Teacher, does it really have no effect?"

Zhao He was silent for a while and said, "If you really want to talk about the impact, it is that the holders of other attribute true qi consume twice as much true qi as the users of fire attribute true qi in the process of alchemy. But you can rest assured, as your cultivation improves, this impact will only get smaller and smaller. ”

A gleam flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes and said, "Teacher, if it's just like this, I have learned this alchemy!"

Zhao He heard Zhan Chen's words, and finally laughed: "Hahaha, okay! If you have ambition, I'll wait for your words, and enter my Zhao He's disciple, if you don't learn alchemy, wouldn't it be a joke?"

Zhan Chen also laughed, indeed being able to learn alchemy will be of great help to him in the future! Not only can he refine some of the pills he needs, such as Lingxiao Pill or something, but he can also rely on the refined pills to make money.

......

Two days later, in the main hall of the Feiyun Palace, Zhao Heyi introduced his two senior brothers and one senior sister to Zhan Chen one by one. After the four of them finished saluting, they heard Zhao He say: "Zhan Chen, you are new, as a teacher, I will first tell you the truth of this alchemy." ”

I saw him take out a bronze alchemy furnace from the Qiankun bag, about the size of a football, holding it in his hand with one hand, and introduced: "This is our most commonly used second-grade alchemy furnace, generally the higher the level of the alchemy furnace, the larger the volume, the finer the workmanship, and the more complex and complicated the formation in the furnace." ”

"And when we are refining the Dan, as long as we put our hands near the Dan furnace and send true qi to it, we can activate the formation in the furnace and form a Dan fire to refine the pill. ”

"Of course, alchemy is not such a simple process, it is mainly divided into three steps: the first step is refining, that is, all kinds of medicinal materials are put into the Dan furnace one by one to burn, and then the essence of them is refined;"

"The second step is Ning Dan, which is to condense the medicinal power into Dan with various fingering techniques and seals;"

"The third step is to keep the refined pill in the pill furnace and carefully quench it with a simmer, so that the impurities in the pill can be further removed and the color of the pill can be improved. ”

"Zhan Chen, do you understand?"

Zhan Chen nodded and said, "I understand, master." ”

"Okay, you follow me to the alchemy room at the back. ”

So Zhan Chen followed Zhao He and the others to the alchemy room at the back of the main hall from the side door.

This is a large room with nearly 100 square meters. In the middle of the room, there is a large alchemy furnace that attracts the most attention, it is the size of a water tank, half a person high, the whole body is gold, and there are many dragon pattern ornaments carved on it, which looks graceful and elegant.

Zhao He looked at the big Dan furnace in the center of the room, and couldn't help but smile, and said, "Zhan Chen, it's your first time here." This is a good treasure for the teacher, the only four-grade pill furnace in the sect, and it can be used to refine the five-grade pill at most, but unfortunately the teacher's skills are not refined, and at most the four-grade top-level pill can be refined. ”

Fourth-grade top-grade elixir! Zhan Chen tried his best to imagine, but he couldn't imagine what kind of effect such an elixir would have.

"You go and review the refining of the Rejuvenation Pill first. Zhao He said to people other than Zhan Chen.

"Ah, Master, return the Rejuvenation Pill! That's just a pill, and we've all refined it hundreds of times. The three of them said in unison.

"Hmph, what can I do, a few things that are not angry, even the Rejuvenation Pill can not be refined to the satisfaction of the teacher, so how can I rest assured that I can teach you higher alchemy skills, you need to know that the small Rejuvenation Pill contains the three major processes of alchemy, this is the foundation, you haven't even learned to walk, do you still want to learn to run?" Zhao He saw the three of them showing impatient looks, and scolded angrily.

The three of them were so scolded that they didn't dare to make a sound, so they only got the shelf on the side, picked up three alchemy furnaces, and went to the side to continue refining the Rejuvenation Pill.

At this time, Zhan Chen noticed that there were more than a dozen alchemy furnaces of all sizes on the shelves on the side.

Zhao He said to Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, those are all second-grade alchemy furnaces, you should also go and choose one."

Zhan Chen casually picked an alchemy furnace and came back.

"Come, sit down in front of me, and put the furnace here. At this time, Zhao He was already sitting on the futon and pointed to the floor in front of him.

Zhan Chen did as he was told.

"First of all, you try to start this alchemy furnace first, and I'll show you first. ”

I saw Zhao He stretch out his right hand and send a stream of true qi towards the Dan furnace on the ground, and through the fine ventilation holes on the furnace, you can see an orange-yellow flame rising in the furnace. Zhao He quickly stopped the True Yuan transmission, and the flames in the furnace were extinguished.

"You can give it a try, too. ”

Zhan Chen curiously followed Zhao He's appearance, and then sent a stream of true qi into the furnace, and sure enough, he only heard a loud sound, and the flame that disappeared just now burned again.

Seeing this, Zhao He couldn't help but smile and said, "How about it, it's still simple, isn't it? Alchemy is not as complicated as you think." ”

Zhan Chen nodded excitedly, but he had a question in his heart, and asked: "Teacher, since alchemy is not complicated, then the alchemists on the continent should have been overcrowded for a long time, but why haven't I seen such a situation appear? On the contrary, there is only one in ten thousand who can become an alchemist. ”

"Hehe, there are many reasons, in fact, alchemy is not as simple as you think, first of all, although its threshold is not high, it requires all kinds of skills to manipulate true qi, which at least martial artists can't do, so to become the lowest cultivation of an alchemist, you need a martial artist. By analogy, the higher the level of the elixir, the higher the alchemist. ”

"Secondly, to practice alchemy, you need a good teacher, and every alchemist regards his own unique alchemy method, fingering, and sealing method as treasures, and it is easy not to pass them on. And these details directly determine the quality and efficacy of Cheng Dan. Some precious pills can even be successfully refined by using unique techniques and sealing methods. ”

"In the end, learning alchemy is a money-burning job, and the success rate of novices is very low, so it is difficult to learn without a certain amount of financial support. ”

After listening to the teacher's analysis of various kinds of alchemy, Zhan Chen finally had a deeper understanding of the doorways.

"As the saying goes, 'the master leads the door, and the cultivation is in the individual', and the only way to be a teacher is to teach you what you know, if you want to go further and further on the road of alchemy, you still need to make great efforts, and even have to have many coincidences, which are not able to help you for the teacher. ”

When Zhan Chen heard this, he bowed to Zhao He again and thanked him: "The teacher is kind to me and reinvents, and it is unforgettable." ”

Zhao He waved his hand and said: "Hehe, don't come to virtual things, in fact, as a teacher, you are optimistic about your future, so you are willing to invest more in you, which can be regarded as an investment." ”

Zhan Chen got up and said solemnly: "No matter what, it was you who helped me, and this will not change." ”

"Whatever you think, let's start with refining a product of the Rejuvenation Pill, and I'll demonstrate it first. Later, you mainly have to write down the seal gesture of my Ning Dan, which is the most basic. ”

Zhan Chen nodded and began to pay attention to Zhao He's gestures.

I saw Zhao He, open the lid of the Dan furnace, put a medicinal material needed for the Rejuvenation Pill into it, close the lid, and send true qi towards the alchemy furnace.

Just listen to the sound of "whew", a flame rises in the furnace, wraps all the medicinal materials, and burns them carefully, and after a while, part of the impurities of the medicinal materials turn into gas and volatilize into the air, and part of it turns into slag and falls at the bottom of the furnace.

Only a mass of viscous essence remained, beating in the flames, and at this moment, I saw that one hand of Zhao He continued to maintain the transmission of true yuan to the Dan furnace, and the other hand quickly left the furnace, writing quickly in the air, and where the tip of the hand passed, it quickly condensed into five true qi runes.

Then I heard him shout: "Condensation!" Fingers pointed towards the alchemy furnace, and the five true qi runes quickly submerged into the furnace.

Then a magical scene occurred, the liquid in the furnace quickly contracted, slowly turning into dozens of small pills, tumbling in the furnace.

Then, Zhao He reduced the transmission of the true yuan, and the furnace fire instantly became smaller, so that after another fifteen minutes or so, a strong medicinal fragrance escaped from it.

At this moment, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao He's mouth, and with a wave of his finger, he shouted: "Qi!"

The lid of the furnace popped open, and the pills in it flew out one after another, falling into the jade bottle he had prepared in advance.

Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, is this okay?"

Zhao He nodded happily and said, "Yes, you take a look." ”

Zhan Chen hurriedly took the jade bottle in his hand and opened it, poured it out and looked at it, and sure enough, it was no different from the Rejuvenation Pill he usually took, and he immediately showed a happy look.

"Just now, did I see all the handprints when I was Ning Dan clearly?"

"Well, make a note of it. ”

"Okay! Now it's your turn. ”

"Is this the beginning?" Zhan Chen asked hesitantly.

"Why don't you have confidence?" Zhao He looked at him defiantly.

"Yes!" Zhan Chen was no longer hypocritical

"This is a medicinal herb of the Rejuvenation Pill!" Zhao He took out another medicine from the storage bag and handed it to Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen looked at the Dan furnace in front of him, and his heart began to pound.
