Volume 2 The Beginner's Path Chapter 19 The Alchemist
......
Time is like an arrow, two years later, in a pavilion in Yanfu.
"Master, I've refined the Xiao Huan Dan..."Bai Yujing refined the pill for the first time, and he was very high-minded in his heart.
"Well, that's good. Xiaobai, if you can refine the elixir, it proves that you are an alchemist from now on, and you can be regarded as a true disciple of the teacher. Sun Lao smiled and nodded.
It has been two years since Bai Yujing first came to help him.
"Really, thank you Master for teaching the apprentices, the apprentices must study alchemy hard!" Bai Yujing was very happy when he heard this, and immediately knelt down to thank Sun Lao.
Sun Lao accepted him as an apprentice a year ago, and he was only half a disciple, and only when he really became an alchemist could he be regarded as a formal disciple, and he was also a disciple. Now, after two years of studying medicine, he has finally done it!
"Well, to be precise, you have become a low-level junior alchemist now, and you will have to continue to work hard in the future, you know?"
"I'm a low-level junior alchemist?Master, is there a high-level alchemist?" Bai Yujing asked.
Speaking of the question of refining medicine, Bai Yujing understood it in a question and answer with Sun Lao.
There are three kinds of pills: the first is the Yuan Dan, which nourishes the body, the second is the spirit pill, which cultivates the Fa, and the third is the soul pill, which nourishes the spirit.
And the three kinds of medicine have five states: liquid, powder, ointment, pill, and pill.
Medicines are divided into six grades: regular drugs (first-class drugs), famous drugs (second-level drugs, third-level drugs), treasure drugs (fourth-level drugs, fifth-grade drugs), elixir (sixth-grade drugs, seventh-grade medicines), Shengdan (eighth-level medicines, ninth-grade medicines), and miracle medicines (top-level medicines).
The best is Dan, and the worst is liquid. But not all medicines can achieve Dan, some medicines can not achieve Dan, they can only become pills, even ointment or powder, and in the end they can only be concentrated liquid, and the forced effect will destroy the medicine.
At the same time, Bai Yujing also knew the master's current alchemy realm, a top grandmaster.
Alchemists are divided into ten realms and corresponding ability standards, mainly including low-level alchemists (first-level medicine), middle-level alchemists (second-level medicine), high-level alchemists (third-level medicine), alchemy masters (fourth-level medicine), alchemy grandmasters (fifth-level medicine), medicine king (sixth-level medicine), Dansheng (seventh-level medicine), Didanshi (eighth-level medicine), Tiandanshi (ninth-level medicine), and Shizu (top-level medicine). And each major realm has four small realms, which are divided into primary, intermediate, advanced, and top.
To become an alchemist, you only need to learn to refine an elixir before you can become a low-level junior alchemist.
Although most alchemists do not pay attention to the cultivation of combat techniques, their strength is also very strong, an alchemist can not only alchemy pills, but also practice medicine, divided into pharmacists and poisoners.
Because alchemists can refine pills, and pills can improve the cultivation efficiency of cultivators, they are very popular in the Nine Heavens World, and their status is very high.
"Xiaobai, whether it is the method of refining medicine, or my book "The Recipe for a Thousand Golds", the teacher has already taught you. No matter what kind of medicine is refined, the first and most important thing is to have a stable mentality, followed by the medicinal materials themselves, and finally the Danfang. If there is no pill prescription, you can create your own according to the medicinal properties, and if there is no corresponding medicinal material, then look for substitutes, which are naturally good and bad, depending on personal chance. Without a good attitude, what you have worked so hard to find will be destroyed in the process of refining medicine, and you will not be able to become a good elixir. "Sun Lao taught step by step, hoping that Bai Yujing could understand.
"Hmm, Master, I'll keep it in my heart..."Bai Yujing nodded heavily. In the past two years, Sun Lao taught him many problems of alchemists, and also taught his own "Qianjin Yao Fang" to Bai Yujing, and in the last month, although he worked very hard to learn how to refine the pill, but he was a little careless or did not master it well, it was difficult to practice the pill, either it was a semi-finished product, or he didn't know what to refine, which made him very worried.
"Xiaobai, you have been with the teacher for two years, your intelligence and diligent practice are very good, you have to practice more in the future, only by practicing more can you be proficient, just like your own hands and feet, refining medicine can greatly improve the quality of the elixir. Also, after tomorrow, you won't have to come... Don't be sad, I'm going out to travel as a teacher, alchemy and cultivation are the same for me, I've been an alchemy master for a long time, this time I have been going out, first, I want to improve the "Qianjin Yao Fang" to relieve the people's illness, and second, I want to find a way to practice better medicine pills, as for the achievement of the medicine king, it is also easy to do, understand?" Sun Lao looked at Bai Yujing and said.
"Master, where are you going?" Bai Yujing first heard Master tell him not to come tomorrow, and thought that he had done something wrong to make Master angry. However, when he heard that the master was going to go far away, he immediately asked with concern.
"Xiaobai, the Nine Heavens World is very big, and a person can't stay in one place all the time, which is not conducive to his own growth and knowledge. I will tell you and Mr. and Mrs. Yan, it's a good thing that you like to study, but it's not a good thing to study just to gain fame. There is a golden house in the book, and experience is the key to unlocking this golden house. The nine-day world is too big, a manly man, you have to go out for a while, so that you can live a wonderful life and see the real world. Although the outside world is not as peaceful as it seems, and you are only 12 years old, with your intelligent nature, as long as you are careful, it will not be a big problem. People always have to go out and grow up independently before they can grow up..."Sun Lao tirelessly taught Bai Yujing.
A year ago, Bai Yujing's hard work, simplicity of heart, and chivalrous heart all passed the test of Sun Lao, especially Bai Yujing's ability to learn alchemy, which also made him nod his head, and finally accepted Bai Yujing as a disciple. said that he was an apprentice, but it was just to encourage Bai Yujing, so that Bai Yujing would officially become an alchemist.
Bai Yujing's matter, he also understood it thoroughly. Bai Yujing was born as a tenant farmer, so he naturally wanted to return to his hometown and take care of his family. But he also saw that this kid's potential was very good, and this world was too big for a dynasty to cover. If a person has the ability to help others, in addition to eating and living well, then he must live freely.
So, after Bai Yujing cleaned up, he followed Sun Lao to the courtyard of Yan Shao and his wife.
"Old Sun, why did you come here in person? If you have something to ask Xiao Bai to come over, I'll go over and you can do it..."Young Master Yan, who was sitting in the pavilion, saw Sun Lao and Bai Yujing walking in at the gate of the courtyard, and immediately got up to greet him.
"It's okay, I'm here today just to talk to you about something..."Sun Lao is very peaceful, he likes nature, and he is also easy-going to people.
So, Bai Yujing stood by and watched Young Master Yan and Master talk.
At first, when he heard Elder Sun say that he had become an alchemist, he saw the shocked expression on Young Master Yan's face, and then he was very happy, and even Young Lady Yan looked at him and smiled and nodded in praise.
Then when they heard that Bai Yujing was accepted as a disciple by Sun Lao, this was not a trivial matter, this was a great joy! Yan and his wife felt that Bai Yujing's road was going to go farther than they thought, and the alchemist was a great existence.
In the end, it is to explain the intention of this time, hearing that Sun Lao wants to travel, Yan Shao and his wife are first dumb and then come to compliment Sun Lao, and under the care, I wish Sun Lao can achieve what he wants, they Yanfu can't be Sun Lao's master, Sun Lao is just a guest in the name of a guest, and this is also Sun Lao's way.
When it came to Bai Yujing's departure, they couldn't say anything. Now that Bai Yujing has become an alchemist, and is favored by Sun Lao, is it not just a civil official who can be restrained? The Nine Heavens World is too big, and those who pursue immortality, who cares about these things that bind them, even those who are officials in the court, are just clansmen who are difficult to cultivate.
At the beginning, Bai Yujing was smart, so he accepted Bai Yujing as his child's companion scholar, but later found that the child was sensible, so he loved Bai Yujing, and thought that this child would enter the career in the future, but he didn't expect that this child would be able to be literate and martial arts and alchemy, and his achievements would be great in the future.
Now that his own children are still following his ancestor to practice outside, it is not suitable for him to stay in the mansion alone, and Bai Yujing is talented, sensible and calm, so he finally agreed.
Besides, there is still the identity of the disciple of Sun Lao's heir, and Bai Yujing's identity as a scholar is also dispersed, but this is good, with Bai Yujing's personality, the better his ability, the better he will be for his own family. Moreover, they have never really regarded Bai Yujing as a scholar, but love him like a nephew.
