Lin Shuwen took Zhan Chen into an independent alchemy room, and then said to him: "Zhan Chen, from now on, I will teach you my true alchemy, and I hope you will inherit this alchemy and become a great alchemist." ”

Zhan Chen replied, "Master, I will not let you down." ”

"Okay, you take a look at this jade slip first. Lin Shuwen handed him a jade slip.

Zhan Chen took the jade slip and looked at it, this is an alchemy method called "Star Gathering Technique", its essence is to use a special spirit array to inject additional star power into the pill in the process of alchemy, so as to improve the rate of the pill and the quality of the pill.

Don't underestimate the success rate of this one-star pill, the more advanced the refining pill, the lower the success rate, according to Zhan Chen's understanding, the ordinary alchemist refining one-star pill into pill rate is only fifty percent, refining two-star pill into pill rate is only three percent, can increase the rate of one percent on the basis of these, this can undoubtedly save a lot of alchemist medicinal materials and time.

However, the Star Gathering Technique is not so easy to learn, its fingering is complicated and requires a certain amount of time to be played quickly, Zhan Chen estimates that with his existing cultivation, it is very difficult to cast so many seals in a short period of time.

At this moment, Lin Shuwen suddenly asked, "Zhan Chen, have you finished reading it?"

Only then did Zhan Chen's attention turn from the jade slip to Lin Shuwen, and he replied, "Teacher, I've finished reading it." ”

"How's it going, is there any pressure?"

Zhan Chen frowned, and said truthfully: "I think that if I want to use the Star Gathering Technique, with my current cultivation, it is still very difficult. ”

Lin Shuwen sighed: "Yes, it's best to upgrade your cultivation to another level, and it would be good to reach the seven-star quasi-star realm, several of your senior brothers and sisters have reached the eight-star quasi-star realm or above, among them, the senior brother Lin Weilong is still a nine-star quasi-star realm powerhouse, and it will be easier for them to cultivate to perform my star gathering technique, and they can even refine some two-star low-level pills." ”

"But as you know, improving your cultivation doesn't happen overnight. ”

"Hehe, you don't have to worry too much, learn the basic things first, and when the cultivation is reached, you will naturally be able to easily perform the star gathering technique I taught you. ”

"So teacher, where do we start with that?"

"Start with the Array, the Star Gathering Spirit Array is the basis for performing Star Gathering, and you must engrave it firmly in your mind. ”

"Okay. Zhan Chen replied, but he was a little nervous in his heart, because although the spirit array of the Star Gathering Technique did not occupy a large area, it was definitely the most complex spirit array he had seen so far, and tens of thousands of spirit patterns had to be carved in an area with a diameter of less than ten meters, which meant that the spacing between each two spirit patterns was less than one millimeter, and the portrayal of this spirit array required the cultivator to be superb, and it was definitely a delicate job.

Lin Shuwen took out a blank array disk and handed it to Zhan Chen, saying, "Zhan Chen, you practice carving the spirit array first, and check it for me after the drawing is finished, this will be my first test for you." ”

"Yes, master!" Zhan Chen took over the array, probed his divine sense into it, and began to carve it.

The portrayal of the formation requires the cultivator to have a strong soul and exquisite soul control ability, of course, the most important thing is to have enough patience, not to make the slightest mistake, the slightest mistake, must be reversed and restarted.

It took Zhan Chen an hour to finish painting this spirit array, in fact, it is not difficult to portray the spirit array for an immortal of his level, the most difficult thing is not to make mistakes, the formation has always been only a minor of Zhan Chen, so mistakes are inevitable.

After finishing, Zhan Chen handed the spirit array to Lin Shuwen and said, "Teacher, I'm done." ”

Lin Shuwen checked it and said, "Yes, you are quite serious and meticulous, there is nothing wrong with this spirit array, but your speed is still too slow, if I come to arrange the star gathering magic spirit array, it will only take a minute, it can be seen that your training is not enough." ”

After saying this, he took out twenty array disks in one go, and ordered Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, it seems that your research on formation methods is very insufficient, and your task today is to carve these twenty array disks again." ”

"Yes, teacher. Zhan Chen replied, and then devoted himself to the huge work of carving the array disk, and did not go back to rest until nightfall.

The next day, Zhan Chen came to the Purple Smoke Garden, Lin Shuwen asked him to carve array plates, and took out thirty at once, asking him to complete them in one day; on the third day, it was still carving array plates, and the number increased to forty; on the fourth day, it was fifty...... For a full ten days, Zhan Chen had been repeatedly carving the array disk of the Star Gathering Spirit Array.

In the second month, Zhan Chen came to Lin Shuwen to study, Lin Shuwen took out a bunch of array disks, Zhan Chen finally couldn't help it, and asked, "Teacher, I am already very familiar with this spirit array of star gathering techniques, can you teach me something else?"

Lin Shuwen glanced at him and said, "You can't even carve a spirit array, what else can you learn?"

Zhan Chen was a little unconvinced, and asked, "I carved the Ten Heavens Spirit Array, how can it be bad?"

"Hmph, your speed is far from enough, the Star Gathering Spirit Array is just the most basic alchemy array, I don't want to carve it in a minute!" Lin Shuwen said, then took out a blank array disk, and with a movement of his mind, he carved the spirit array within a minute, and then threw it to Zhan Chen and said, "Take a look." ”

Zhan Chen picked up the array disk and looked at it, Lin Shuwen's array plate was much better than his own, the spirit lines of the spirit array were as slender and smooth as hair, his face showed a look of shame, and said: "Teacher, it's me who is wrong, I am too eager for quick success, from now on, I will definitely finish whatever you ask me to do." ”

Lin Shuwen smiled on his face and said: "That's right, I'm helping you lay a solid foundation, but if you carve the array plate for ten days in a row, people will be bored, and I was like you when I was young, and I was also taught a lesson by my master." It doesn't matter, knowing your mistakes can improve a lot, Zhan Chen, study hard, you are one of the best qualified apprentices I have ever seen. ”

"I will definitely live up to the expectations of my teachers. ”

"Zhan Chen, your cultivation is limited, I don't need you to complete the engraving of the Star Gathering Spirit Array in one minute, but you must complete it in at least five minutes, and I won't start teaching you new knowledge until you do this. ”

So, for the next half a year, Zhan Chen was repeatedly practicing the portrayal of the Star Gathering Technique Spirit Array, after half a year of training, he found that he had not only made great achievements in depicting the Spirit Array, but also made great progress in soul manipulation, and now he used his divine sense to depict the spirit pattern in the array plate can already be compared with Lin Shuwen.

On this day, Zhan Chen finally completed the goal of carving the Gathering Star Magic Spirit Array within five minutes, he happily handed the array disk to Lin Shuwen, Lin Shuwen looked at the spirit array he had drawn, smiled, and said: "Zhan Chen, I didn't expect you to complete the goal I gave you within half a year, which greatly surprised me, and then I will teach you the seal technique that cooperates with the control of the Star Gathering Spirit Array." ”

"Great, it's finally time to get the dry goods. Zhan Chen's spirits couldn't help but lift.

Lin Shuwen took out an array disk, inlaid it with a star stone to activate it, and a large spirit array with a diameter of ten meters unfolded in the center of the alchemy room, Zhan Chen suddenly felt that the star power in the room increased, as if he had entered a cultivation room.

Lin Shuwen explained on the side: "Zhan Chen, this Star Gathering Technique of mine is taken from the Star Gathering Spirit Array that our Star Magicians usually use in their cultivation, and on this basis, I have transformed the Spirit Array so that it can be used by my alchemy. ”

Then he took out another Dan furnace and placed it in the center of the Giant Star Spirit Array, then lit the fire in the Dan furnace, and then shouted, "Zhan Chen, use your divine sense to observe the changes inside and outside the furnace in detail, and remember the seal technique I used. This first seal is the fire enhancement technique, which is to use the huge star power absorbed by the star gathering array to increase the power of the furnace fire. ”

Lin Shuwen quickly punched out a series of seals, and these seals submerged into the center of the spirit array, causing the speed of the spirit array to increase by ten times, and the surging star power continued to gather and submerge into the Dan furnace, making the power of the furnace in the Dan furnace increase by more than three percent at once.

"Zhan Chen, do you know that the spirit essence in many star elixirs is difficult to be extracted at once, it is because the power of the furnace fire is insufficient, and the Star Gathering Array is the spirit array that can solve this problem. Lin Shuwen said again.

As if to prove that what he said was true, he took out an elixir and threw it into the Dan furnace, the furnace fire immediately wrapped the elixir, and Zhan Chen could clearly see that under the burning of the fierce fire, the skin of the elixir melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and quickly transformed into pure spiritual liquid.

Not only that, Zhan Chen also noticed that some of the star power absorbed by the Star Gathering Spirit Array directly entered the spiritual liquid, fusing with the spiritual liquid, making the extracted spiritual liquid have a special pearl-like luster.

Lin Shuwen successively invested more than a dozen elixirs to extract them one by one, with the help of the Star Gathering Magic Spirit Array, his speed of extracting these elixir essences was almost doubled, and he saved a lot of physical strength, and soon all the elixirs were extracted into essence and fused together.

At this moment, Lin Shuwen's technique changed again, he punched out the seal of the Ning Dan, and the spiritual liquid quickly shrank, condensing into a pill.

At this time, Zhan Chen's brows couldn't help but tighten, because the process of condensing the pill was the most complicated, because the medicinal power of various star-level elixirs was mixed together, and a balance should be emphasized, but the medicinal power of the star-rated elixir was hundreds of times greater than that of Wang Pin's elixir, and the medicinal power of the elixir and the elixir often conflicted, it was not easy to maintain this balance, and if there was a slight difference, the balance would be broken, resulting in the serious consequences of the hard-earned elixir becoming a waste pill, which was also the reason why the success rate of refining star-rated elixir was generally not high.

At this time, the elixir refined by Lin Shuwen was also unstable, if it was Zhan Chen, he would definitely use his own strength to desperately suppress the restless elixir, but he didn't know how his master would deal with this situation.
