Chapter 36: Three Days of Study
"Actually, it's very simple to control the flames, as long as practice makes perfect. ”
"When refining the elixir, the control of the flame is about doing whatever you want, and a single thought can control the size and amount of the flame, and these can only be done by practice makes perfect. ”
......
Bai Mingyuan explained carefully.
Ye Xingchen couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa Bai, do you mean that as long as I often refine more pills, practice will naturally make perfect?"
"That's fine, but do you have so many herbs for you to waste?" Bai Mingyuan said with a smile.
Ye Xingchen touched his head in embarrassment and shook his head.
Even if it is the simplest pill, the medicinal materials needed have a certain value, and he is an illegitimate son who was driven out by the Lin family, and he is penniless, how can he have so much money to buy these medicinal materials.
Therefore, Ye Xingchen continued to ask, "Grandpa Bai, is there any other way?"
"Of course there is!" Bai Mingyuan said with a smile: "Although the method you just said is also okay, it is too expensive and time-consuming, and it is generally not suitable for us alchemists to learn." And the method I am going to give you next is the best way for our alchemists to practice controlling the flames, Ruolan, you can rehearse this kid. ”
"Oh?" Ye Xingchen couldn't help but look at Bai Ruolan on the side.
Bai Ruolan has become an intermediate alchemist, and she doesn't need to start from the basics like Ye Xingchen, she usually reads some alchemy books, or refines the pills by herself.
At this time, Bai Ruolan was reading a book, and when she heard Bai Mingyuan's words, she immediately put down the book in her hand, looked at Ye Xingchen and said with a smile: "Brother Ye, you take care of it carefully." ”
With that, she gently raised the palm of her hand, and a green flame suddenly erupted from the palm of her hand.
But in the next moment, this green flame actually turned into a green bird, lifelike, spread its wings and fly, cut through the void, and came to Ye Xingchen's face, and then flew into the sky, turning into a brilliant firework, sprinkled down.
Ye Xingchen was stunned by this magical scene, this was really incredible, he also had the fire, Bai Ruolan was able to control the fire to such a point, it was incredible.
Looking at Ye Xingchen who was in shock, Bai Mingyuan said with a smile: "In terms of controlling the flames, Ruolan has surpassed me and reached the level of a high-level alchemist. What she lacks now is accumulation, as long as the accumulation is enough, it will be easy to be promoted to a senior alchemist. ”
His eyes were full of smug smiles, after all, Bai Ruolan was his precious granddaughter, and of course he was extremely proud to have such a granddaughter who had no future in alchemy.
"Ruolan, you are so amazing!" Ye Xingchen's face was full of admiration.
Bai Ruolan smiled slightly and said, "Brother Ye, as long as you practice a lot, sooner or later you will reach a point like mine." However, instead of controlling the flames to turn into birds, you can conjure up some simple items, and then see you more and more difficult as you get more comfortable controlling the flames. ”
With that, Bai Ruolan raised her slender jade hand again, this time condensing a square in her palm, then into a circle, then into a rectangle, and finally the green flame slowly dissipated.
Bai Ruolan looked up at Ye Xingchen and said with a smile: "Brother Ye, do you see it, start with the simple ones first, and then slowly increase the difficulty, if you can let the things that you use the flame to change out of your palm, then it means that you can refine the yellow-level pill and become a junior alchemist." ”
"I understand!" Ye Xingchen nodded, then stretched out his palm, controlled his own fire, and slowly released it.
This step was easy, almost very fast, and a crimson flame condensed out in Ye Xingchen's palm, exuding a scorching temperature.
Next, Ye Xingchen's expression was solemn, his spirit was one, and he secretly controlled this flame and began to turn into a square.
However, the four sides of this square, all crooked, look a little ridiculous.
Ye Xingchen couldn't help but be embarrassed: "It was very easy to see Ruolan just now, but it was very difficult to really control it." ”
"Brother Ye, if you practice a lot, it will be fine in the future. Bai Ruolan smiled slightly.
Bai Mingyuan, who was on the side, also laughed and said, "Boy, do you think it's easy to become an alchemist? Even if Ruolan is extremely talented, she has practiced for more than ten years before she can have such a superb fire control realm as she is now." ”
"I understand, I'll practice every day when I get back. Ye Xingchen nodded.
"Well, identifying herbs and controlling flames, you can both practice at home. As for here, I will explain to you the combination between medicinal materials and medicinal materials, and I will teach you some pills, and then try to refine pills after you have a little bit of fire control. Bai Mingyuan said.
Ye Xingchen nodded again.
The next course was a bit annoying, because there was too much time for medicinal materials between heaven and earth, and within one day, Ye Xingchen had to learn the collocation between twenty kinds of medicinal materials, and he also had to memorize two pills.
Danfang is very precious, it can only be circulated within the Alchemy Union, and whoever dares to spread it will definitely be hunted down by the Alchemy Union.
Although Ye Xingchen is now learning the simplest pills, there are also a large number of them, there are one hundred and eighty kinds of detoxification pills alone, and there are also poison pills, after all, light detoxification is not enough, and poisoning will be used, after all, alchemists also have some means of self-preservation.
There are also elixirs to cure diseases, elixirs to improve cultivation, there are too many.
However, Ye Xingchen spent sixteen years in his previous life fighting against illness, and he was an orphan himself, and he was accompanied by books, so he was very talented in learning, and the speed of absorbing knowledge shocked Bai Mingyuan.
......
Lin family.
Zhang Ying looked at Zhang Lie in front of him, and couldn't help but be curious: "Lie'er, you have just been promoted to the senior class, and you are not busy learning new knowledge, why do you have time to come to me?"
"Auntie, I have something important to report to you, it's about Ye Xingchen's kid. Zhang Lie said in a deep voice.
"The little scumber?"
Zhang Ying's face suddenly froze, and he said coldly: "What kind of waves did that little evil seed turn over again?"
"Auntie, we really underestimated that kid, didn't I tell you last time that the reason why I didn't kill him in the snowy forest was because of the sudden appearance of that fire. But do you know, auntie? That kid didn't escape by luck, but he fused the fire, fused the ownerless fire. Zhang Lie said with a gloomy face.
"What!"
"How is this possible?"
Zhang Ying, who has always been calm, suddenly changed his face when he heard this, and stood up in disbelief.
She stared at Zhang Lie tightly, gritted her teeth and said, "How do you know this news?
"I met him yesterday in the Alchemy Union, Luo Gang took him to the Alchemy Union to find Old Man Bai, in order to let Old Man Bai teach him alchemy, and let him join the Alchemy Union. Zhang Lie also gritted his teeth secretly, his heart was full of jealousy and anger.
That's a tinder, a very powerful tinder, who dares to fuse?
Fusing the fire, that's a matter of life and death.
Among the alchemists in the God of War Continent, among the 100,000 people, it is estimated that only one alchemist has fused the ownerless fire, and some are even just lucky, like Bai Ruolan, who is born with the fire.
In short, as long as a normal person is a normal person, no one wants to do such a dangerous thing as fusing fire.
Even if he is such a powerful existence as King Roland, it is only when his old age and longevity are approaching that he dares to fuse the fire and fight hard.
Zhang Lie really couldn't believe that Ye Xingchen had actually fused with the fire, how could that kid have such guts and courage? It was a miracle that he could still succeed.
However, Zhang Lie was also very clear about the benefits of fusing the fire, so he was very jealous of Ye Xingchen in his heart.
Jealousy and hatred have already made Zhang Lie's heart rise with a strong killing intent.
Zhang Lie gritted his teeth, his face was hideous, and said to Zhang Ying: "Auntie, I have challenged him, and he has accepted it. Three days later, we will fight on the playground of the academy, and the loser will give the opponent ten Qi Condensing Pills, and I will teach him a good lesson when the time comes. ”
"Challenge?10 Qi Condensing Pills?"
Zhang Ying couldn't help frowning when he heard this, looked at Zhang Lie and said, "Lie'er, you are too reckless, since he has already fused with fire and his strength is unfathomable, how can you still challenge him?"
"He has just just fused the fire, and his cultivation is only a five-star warrior realm at most, and I was already a seven-star warrior before I stepped into the snowy forest, and now I am even more in the middle stage of a seven-star warrior, can't I beat him?" Zhang Lie said with confidence on his face, he had been able to defeat Ye Xingchen before, and now he was even more confident.
Zhang Ying thought about it and felt that it made sense, and said immediately: "Since you have already made an appointment to fight, then it's too late to say anything now, so let's do it, you come again tomorrow, and I will give you five Qi Condensing Pills." ”
"Thank you, auntie!" Zhang Lie's face was suddenly full of joy, he came to find Zhang Ying, in fact, it was to borrow the Qi Condensing Pill.
Although he is the grandson of the head of the Zhang family, the head of the Zhang family has more than one grandson, so the Qi Condensing Pill he gets is also very limited.
This time, Zhang Lie became a seven-star warrior and was promoted to the advanced class, and the high-level Zhang family made an exception to give him five Qi Condensing Pills, but the bet with Ye Xingchen was obviously not enough, so he could only come to Zhang Ying for help.
Moreover, once he won Ye Xingchen, it would be impossible for Zhang Ying to take back those five Qi Condensing Pills.
When the time comes, plus Ye Xingchen's ten Qi Condensing Pills, he will have twenty Qi Condensing Pills.
"Twenty Qi Condensing Pills are enough for me to step into the late stage of the Seven-Star Warrior, even in the advanced class, there will be a place for me. Zhang Lie secretly thought that with the improvement of his strength, his status in the Zhang family would also increase.
Of course, the premise of all this is that he has to defeat Ye Xingchen.
......
The sun rises and the moon sets, and three days pass in a blink of an eye.
In these three days, Ye Xingchen's progress was very great, and his fire control realm had also improved very quickly, and he could change the simple shapes of squares, rectangles, and circles as he wanted.
Such a talent completely shocked Bai Mingyuan and Bai Ruolan.
Even Bai Ruolan, when she did this, it took a full year.
Of course, Bai Ruolan was still young at that time, and she would definitely not study so hard. But let her do Ye Xingchen in three days, she can't do it to herself, no matter how talented she is, it will take two or three months.
"This kid is a pervert!" Bai Mingyuan suffered a heavier blow, his talent was not as good as Bai Ruolan, he reached the point of Ye Xingchen back then, but it took two or three years, and it was already good, so he was valued by the alchemy union, so he had today's status.
It is conceivable how high Ye Xingchen's alchemy talent is.
