Chapter Seventy-Four: Guidance
In the greetings of the disciples, the little fat man turned his head to look over.
I saw an old man with a long white beard hanging down like a waterfall and lifted the curtain of the independent Dan room and walked out.
Next to him, an old man with a sharp beak followed him, it was Duanmu Snow Lotus's father, Elder Duanmu.
"Elder Tang Feng, Elder Duanmu?" the little fat man had been messing around in the Lingdan Hall, and he knew the two of them.
Elder Duanmu frowned when he saw everyone gathered together, and his face was stretched: "You don't go to alchemy to endorse, what are you doing here?"
"Senior Brother wants to refine the Condensing Pill!" said one of the disciples excitedly.
"Someone wants to refine the Divine Pill?" the white-bearded old man slowly stroked his beard with his left hand, with interest, "I'll take a look." β
"It must be Xu Fan's kid. Elder Duanmu saw the figure of the senior brother through the crowd.
In his opinion, among the disciples in the hall, only Xu Fan had this strength.
couldn't help but show a hint of pride on his face, because Xu Fan was his protΓ©gΓ©.
This Xu Fan knows that he needs the Condensing Pill recently, so if he wants to refine it today, is it possible to honor himself?
Thinking of this, Elder Duanmu had a smile on his face even more.
"I think it's rain or pine. The white-bearded old man stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Elder Duanmu showed a hint of displeasure on his face, Qing Song was a disciple of the old man in front of him, and his qualifications were better than Xu Fan's.
When the disciples saw the two, they all gave way and bent down to give a salute.
"Xu Fan, who wants to refine the Condensing Pill?" Elder Duanmu saw Xu Fan standing in front of the partition at this time, standing on tiptoe and stretching his neck, as if he was watching others refine the pill.
"Elder Duanmu, Elder Tang Feng!" Xu Fan heard the voice, quickly turned around, and bowed down.
Elder Duanmu is Xu Fan's master, and the white-bearded old man who is with him has a high status and cannot afford to offend.
Tang Feng, the great elder of the Lingdan Hall, is second only to Chen Ying, the master of the Lingdan Hall.
However, prestige can still prevail.
After all, Chen Ying was instructed by him back then.
Tang Feng saw the Blue Blood Pill in the little fat man's hand, and looked surprised: "Hey, it's actually a high-quality Blue Blood Pill?"
"Little doll, did you refine it?" Tang Feng looked at the little fat man, full of curiosity.
When the little fat man saw Tang Feng and Duanmu, he was not afraid, puffed up his chest, and was quite proud: "It's not me, it's my brother Xiao Yulian." β
"How is it possible? Just with Xiao Yu, you can refine such a high-quality Blue Blood Pill?" Elder Duanmu's face was full of astonishment, full of disbelief, "Xu Fan, you say!"
Duanmu looked at the senior brother as if asking for help, his expression was stern, and when he saw Xu Fan nodded, he couldn't help but look ugly.
"Xiao Yu?" Tang Feng read the name, as if thinking, "Whose disciple is this? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"He's a new disciple," Duanmu gritted his teeth, but still replied, his tone cold, "Those who entered the Lingdan Hall by opportunism just have a better memory." β
"New disciple?" Tang Feng's eyes lit up, revealing a hint of interest, "He's refining the Condensing Pill?"
Seeing that the little fat man got out of the way, revealing Xiao Yu who was controlling the fire behind him.
At this time, Xiao Yu's right hand slid back and forth around the furnace like a swimming fish, and the flames swayed with his gestures, rising and changing.
"What kind of rough fire control method is this?" Duanmu looked at Xiao Yu's gesture and shook his head, with a look of disdain, "The most basic fire control technique that any disciple will have is better than his technique. With this level, you still want to refine the Condensing Pill?"
"You are an old disrespectful, haven't you seen the Blue Blood Pill refined by my brother Xiao? The quality of this senior brother's refining is not as high as my brother's. β
Because of Duanmu's words, several disciples who were originally going to come over to sign up for him to study stopped paying money.
This made the little fat man furious, glared at Duanmu angrily, and retorted.
Duanmu glanced at Xu Fan, seeing that Xu Fan's face was red, his eyes were dodgy, and he knew that what the little fat man said was true, and he couldn't help but curse secretly.
But how could he let Xiao Yu be in the limelight.
"Although the Blue Blood Pill is a second-grade spirit pill, it is the lowest grade, and the difficulty of refining is not much better than that of a first-grade spirit pill, so what is the difficulty of refining?"
Duanmu Zhengse said, a serious expression appeared on his horse-like face, which looked very disobedient, "This Condensing Pill is not only a second-grade upper-grade spirit pill, but also has extremely high requirements for fire control methods, just with Xiao Yu's fire control actions, there is no hope at all!"
When the surrounding disciples heard Duanmu's words, they all showed expressions of sudden realization, and their eyes when they looked at Xiao Yu also became disdainful.
Xu Fan also breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately there was a reminder from the master, otherwise he really thought that Xiao Yu had a talent for alchemy.
Tang Feng didn't speak, but quietly watched Xiao Yu control the fire alchemy, thoughtful.
"Crackle!"
A bang caught everyone's attention.
Everyone looked at the source of the sound, only to see that the furnace suddenly burst into flames more than a foot high, emitting real black smoke, and Xiao Yu looked stunned and looked at the furnace ding in a daze.
The refining of the Concentration Pill failed.
"What am I talking about, I can't help myself!" Duanmu pursed his lips, wanting to look up to the sky and laugh, but because of his identity, he forcibly took it back, so he showed a strange expression.
"It's really too much self-confidence, it's too inflated!"
"That's right, I thought he could refine the Blue Blood Pill, I thought it was amazing, but that's it!"
Some disciples who were jealous of Xiao Yu made mockery one after another, although they couldn't refine it, but there were always people who wanted to see others inferior to themselves.
"Senior Brother Xiao is too inflated, and the success of the Blue Blood Pill just now made him blind, which led to this failure. Senior Brother shook his head, with a teaching expression, as if he was quite sorry, "But if he loses this time, he won't be too ambitious to refine the elixir beyond his ability." β
"Senior brother is worthy of being a senior brother, his heart is still broad-minded, not something that Xiao Yu can compare!" Several disciples were impressed by Xu Fan's words.
When the group was talking, Xiao Yu didn't hear it at all.
At the moment, he is still immersed in reflection.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Yu repeatedly deduced the steps just now with both hands, trying to find out what his problem was.
In fact, Xiao Yu was not sure about the first time he refined the Condensing Pill.
He was also in the mindset of giving it a try just now.
But be sure to find out what your problems are.
However, he racked his brains and didn't figure it out, after all, his time in contact with alchemy was still too short, and he had not systematically studied the process and knowledge of alchemy.
"Little guy, do you know why you didn't succeed in refining?"
A voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Yu's mind, which shocked Xiao Yu, he turned his head and found an old man with a thick white beard and kind eyebrows looking at him, smiling rather than smiling.
Xiao Yu only came back to his senses from thinking at this time, and also saw the ridicule of Duanmu and Senior Brother, and the expressions of mockery or schadenfreude from the surrounding disciples.
"I don't know. Xiao Yu shook his head, and then bowed his hand and said, "I hope that my predecessors will teach me." β
Xiao Yu guessed that his identity should be quite old through the respectful attitude of the other disciples towards the old man, so he tentatively asked for advice.
"Haha, although your method of controlling fire is simple, there is a faint grandmaster style, simplifying the complex, but there are a few things that are really wrong. Tang Feng saw that Xiao Yu was very respectful and polite, and nodded secretly in his heart, this son is very humble.
Moreover, what moved him was Xiao Yu's demeanor just now, the alchemy failed, he was not impatient or impatient, but was reflecting and deducing, this truth-seeking spirit is very rare.
"First of all, when you start a fire, you shouldn't suppress the height of the flames, but use a large fire to open it, the Condensing Fruit in the Condensing Pill needs to be stimulated by a large fire, because the Condensing Fruit volatilizes extremely quickly, if you don't turn all the medicinal power at the beginning, even if you practice it, it is at most an ordinary quality. β
Tang Feng's face was serious, and he continued, "And the reason why you failed just now is that you didn't use a simmer in the middle of the period, you used an open flame, and the open flame was too strong, and the condensing wood couldn't stand the high temperature, so it burst, causing you to fail." β
"I see!" Xiao Yu was pointed out by the old man that he was wrong, but instead of being annoyed, he was overjoyed, because the old man said the key to him just now in a few words.
"Thank you for your advice!"
Xiao Yu hurriedly bent down and saluted, even more respectful.
"Do you still want to refine?" Tang Feng saw Xiao Yu take out another condensing fruit, and it seemed that he was going to refine it again, "Aren't you afraid of failure?"
Xiao Yu smiled, his eyes resolute: "Although I am inexperienced, which alchemy master didn't start from failure?"
"I'm really not afraid that the wind will flash my tongue, just because you also want to compare with the alchemy master?" Duanmu sneered.
"Who do you think you are, the Great Elder will be able to refine you with a few fingers?"
Tang Feng stroked his long white beard and stopped him in a loud voice: "Duanmu, if you are not convinced, I will instruct the little guy and let him compete with your eldest disciple, which is better and which is inferior, it is clear at a glance." β
Duanmu looked at Tang Feng and sneered: "Don't say I'm a bully when the time comes!Xu Fan, don't embarrass me!"
"Yes, Master!" Xu Fan arched his hand and looked at Xiao Yu coldly.
"This Xiao Yu is really crazy, he thinks that with Elder Tang's guidance, he can comprehend the refining of the Condensing Divine Pill?"
"Do you still want to compare with the senior brother, when refining the Blue Blood Pill, the senior brother clearly let this Xiao Yu, he didn't know it, it was really shameless. β
After the disciples saw Xiao Yu's failure in refining the Condensing Pill, they even believed that Xiao Yu relied on luck to improve the quality of the Blue Blood Pill refined by Xu Fan.
"Let's start!" the Great Elder waved his hand, and the two of them selected materials at the same time, and then caught fire.
Xiao Yu followed Tang Feng's instructions just now, and revised the deficiencies in the process of controlling the fire just now, although the technique was still simple and rude, the grasp of the timing was indeed accurate.
Before, he completely relied on the power of his powerful soul to control the fire by feeling, and some places were naturally insufficient.
On the other side, Xu Fan's hands changed, and the flames kept changing shapes under his control, looking very gorgeous.
"Yes, this is the gap, Xu Fan's experience, how can Xiao Yu compare? He knows when to use a simmer and when to add ingredients when refining the Condensing Pill. β
Duanmu commented, while Tang Feng kept smiling and silent.
"Haha, Senior Brother's advanced fire control technique is already so superb, and the flames can actually change so much under his hands!"
"You see, Xiao Yu's furnace actually produced white smoke this time, and it is estimated that it will be fried in a while, right?"
Seeing this, the disciples of the narrator sneered one after another.
"What?" Duanmu's face changed, because the Condensing Pill needed white smoke, and when white smoke was generated, it meant that Xiao Yu's pill was almost formed.
"Open!" Sure enough, with Xiao Yu's loud shout, the lid of the furnace opened, and three white pills that were as clear as snow were grabbed by Xiao Yu in his hands.
The Condensing Pill was really practiced by Xiao Yu!
