Chapter 105: Alchemist
High-level cultivators who can choose alchemy are just using this to hone their state of mind, and naturally it is impossible to refine those common pills in large quantities, and no one dares to let them refine them, so a new profession - alchemist came into being. At the beginning of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info alchemists were mostly composed of cultivators who had no hope of advancing to the next level, and they exchanged them for spirit stones through alchemy and other cultivations, in order to change their situation in this way.
There are also some great sects and great families who specialize in cultivating some alchemists, so as to provide pills for their disciples or their own families. At this stage, because alchemy is still in the exploration stage, the probability of becoming a pill is very low, coupled with the immature alchemy technology, many pills are often accompanied by strong side effects while exerting their effects, and in severe cases, they will even make the user lose their lives.
With the development of time, it was not until the alchemy skills gradually matured and formed a unique system, and even for alchemists, a set of safe and reliable cultivation methods based on alchemy were summed up, and the alchemy industry slowly flourished.
In the cultivation realm, there are also special alchemist sects, they have created many special functional pills through resource sharing, and these sects also have a special alchemist training system, and the systematically trained alchemists are all knowledgeable and powerful; There are also alchemists who like to be alone, although the overall strength is not as good as that of the sect alchemists, but each has their own skills, which should not be underestimated.
Regardless of whether it is a sect or a single person, the alchemist is definitely the object of cultivators' scrambling to interact, no one can say that he will be stuck in a bottleneck for decades that day, and the alchemist you befriend can just refine the elixir that will help you break through......
Although he didn't know if his guess was correct, Zhou Xiao still decided to go over to say hello, he calmed down, put on an expression that he thought was modest and polite, and walked over and saluted: "This brother is good, in Xia Song Yu, passing by here, I see that the grass here is delicious and the fallen flowers are colorful......"
The polite words chattered for a long time, but the "charcoal burner" on the other side was just in a daze, constantly muttering something in his mouth, completely treating Zhou Silence as air.
Just touched a soft nail, which is absolutely nothing to Zhou Lian, who grew up by intrigue with others, he thought about it for a while, and realized that it might be his communication method that was wrong, looking at the "charcoal burner" concentrating and focusing, he was obviously a paranoid, such a person can only do what he likes, otherwise it will be in vain even if he says that the sky is falling.
Zhou Lone, who had figured it out, immediately began to observe the other party's every move, and only then did he understand that the charcoal burner did not deliberately snub him, he was picking up a ball of black powder and studying it carefully, looking at it with his eyes, smelling it with his nose, and finally putting it in his mouth and tasting it, looking at the black and sticky mass, Zhou Lin couldn't help but feel a chill.
There was a large pile of black powder in front of the charcoal burner, and Zhou Xiao guessed that this might be the waste residue of the other party's alchemy failure, and when he was refining the colorful pill in the Dragon Fire Land, he scrapped a lot more than this.
"How can the amaranth glue be integrated into the Burning Yang Pill?" After listening carefully, Zhou Xiao finally understood what the charcoal burner was struggling with, what was there to worry about, wasn't it......
Zhou was stunned for a moment, it seems that he will ask this question? Although he was not sure, intuitively, he thought he should be right, so he said casually: "You can wait for the pill to form and the temperature cool down before adding amaranth glue!" ”
This is not Zhou Lonely to say, the material for refining the colorful pill is amaranth glue, which is a kind of gelatinous substance secreted after the wound of the amaranth vine is broken, which is yin and can neutralize the yang poison of the positive pill, so that the quality of the pill can be improved by at least one grade.
Because of the reduced toxicity, the pill added to the amaranth gum can be taken by cultivators in large quantities, such as the colorful pill, if there is no amaranth gum, with Zhou Lone's body, one pill can only be taken in seven days at the earliest, that is to say, with this more flavor of the herb, the efficiency of Zhou Lone's cultivation has been increased by nearly seven times, which shows the importance of amaranth gum.
Hearing Zhou Lian's words, the charcoal burner was obviously stunned, then calculated silently in his heart, and finally shook his head: "The temperature of the vaporization of amaranth gum is very low, and when it is cooled to the point that it is liquid, the pill has already been fixed, and it cannot be fused at all." ”
Zhou Xiao asked strangely: "Why do you have to cool it to the liquid state of amaranth glue?" You use the aura to vaporize the amaranth gel, and then use the spiritual power to wrap it with the unformed dan embryo, it won't take long to fuse, and the gaseous amaranth gel is better than the liquid one! ”
The charcoal burner pondered for a while, and suddenly he patted his head: "Oh, I'm so stupid, amaranth sex glue will lose its medicinal properties when it encounters an open flame, and it has nothing to do with whether it is vaporized or not, understood, understood!" ”
As he spoke, with a wave of one hand, a black Dan furnace appeared, ignition, processing materials, fusion, fire refining, condensing Dan, baking, and adding amaranth glue, the whole action was done in one go, and the faint Dan fragrance fluttered, which made people smell intoxicated.
"It worked, I really made it!" The charcoal burner muttered and stared at the finished product in his hand, and suddenly turned to Zhou Lone: "Thank you master for solving Dancheng's doubts, if you don't dislike it, please also accept Dan as an apprentice, Dancheng is willing to serve by the master's side, and painstakingly learn Dan skills!" ”
"Take you as an apprentice?" Zhou Xiao was blinded by the sudden turn, and he just said a few words casually, and he didn't know if it was right, how did he become his master? He smiled reluctantly: "This, I also know a little about alchemy, but I am not qualified to be your master." ”
The charcoal burner is quite persistent: "Master, you are too modest, if it weren't for your guidance on that question just now, even if I pondered for another ten years, I would not be able to think of it, you are qualified to be my master by virtue of this, you can rest assured, although you accepted me as a disciple, I will never go around and ruin your old man's reputation." ”
My old man? Looking at the pale hair on the face of the self-proclaimed Dancheng on the other side, the corners of his mouth kept twitching, please, your old man is a golden pill, I didn't have a piece of tofu to kill if I was not three hundred years old, and you didn't pretend to be tender like this!
However, seeing that this person is so persistent, Zhou Lian's heart suddenly moved, he didn't want to accept apprentices, but the situation here is very strange, if he agrees, his situation will definitely improve, but the apprentices want to give a gift, look at the age of the other party, the gift is light, and he will definitely not be able to take it, and he is too distressed if the gift is heavy......
After thinking about it, Zhou Lin still decided to agree, the charcoal burner worshiped himself as a teacher, probably because he wanted to ask for more technical questions, this Zhou Lin would not be stingy, as for the meeting ceremony, he pretended not to know with an old face, and the other party should not say anything, anyway, he was not ready to treat the other party as an apprentice, and he did not expect him to retire and send him to the end.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiao said tentatively: "This ...... Actually, I'm not very good at alchemy, if you don't dislike it, we can discuss it with each other. ”
"Agreed?" The charcoal burner's face immediately turned into a flower: "The master is above, please accept the apprentice!" ”
……
"Your name is Dancheng?" While slandering this guy for having such a strange name, he stretched out his hand to help the charcoal burner up, seeing that he didn't mention the greeting at all, Zhou Lin breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What is this place, and is there anyone else nearby?" ”
Dan Cheng was surprised that Zhou Lin would ask this, but thinking that the other party was his new master, he still answered honestly: "This is the trial ground of the Danding Fire Alliance, there is a space illusion array of the Danding Fire Alliance here, unless the distance between the two is close to a hundred zhang, it is absolutely impossible to see the shadow of the other party." ”
Dancheng's words made Zhou Lonely stunned, why did he come here?
Because of the special geographical environment, in addition to the strong attack power of the Yanyan Fire Domain, the cultivators of the Yanyan Fire Domain are especially good at alchemy, especially the Burning Yang Villa, the first major faction in the Yanyan Fire Domain, in addition to force, their achievements in alchemy are also second to none.
However, if you ask the most famous elixir of the sect in the Yan Yan Fire Domain, the answer of the Nine Percent cultivators is by no means the Burning Sun Villa, but the Danding Fire Alliance, which has always been low-key.
To be precise, the Danding Fire Alliance is not a sect, it is more like a collection like the Dark Alliance, its composition is very simple, there is one alliance leader, four Dharma protectors, and then deacons, the Dharma protectors assist the alliance leader to lead the affairs of the alliance, and the specific operations are carried out by the deacons.
The Danding Fire Alliance's recruitment of members is also extremely lenient, as long as you can refine more than two grade pills, you are eligible to join the alliance, the relationship between the members of the Fire Alliance and the Danding Fire Alliance is also very delicate, as long as you become a member of the Danding Fire Alliance, the Fire Alliance can provide you with all the things that will help you in alchemy, such as flames, materials, pills, places, and even the personal guidance of senior alchemists, of course, these things are charged, and they need to be deducted from the pills you refine.
Limited to the above conditions, the Danding Fire Alliance does not interfere with the members' private lives and personal freedom, and does not even care which sect you belong to, because to a certain extent, the members of the Danding Fire Alliance have achieved resource sharing in alchemy, so that many cultivators of the Burning Sun Mountain Villa have joined the Danding Fire Alliance!
Thinking of this, Zhou Lian's heart moved: "Danding Fire Alliance is going to recruit new members again?" It's no wonder that Zhou Lin thinks so, the Danding Fire Alliance does not recruit members alone, but only actively selects through some large-scale competitions in a specific period of time, so that it is easier to select the best from them. If you follow the troubled waters and fish in the muddy waters, and enter and exit the Yanyan Fire Domain as a member of the Danding Fire Alliance, you must be unaware.
Unexpectedly, Dan Cheng shook his head: "No, this time the alliance chose to protect the law!" ”
"Dharma Protector?" Zhou was stunned for a moment, you must know that there are only four protectors in the Danding Fire Alliance, which can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, right? He hurriedly asked, "Has anyone sat down on the four protectors of the Fire Alliance?" ”
Zhou Lian's words made Dan Cheng a little stunned: "How come? Planting, refining, selling, and living away from the longevity of the four protectors of the Dharma are still long, and they are not so easy to die! ”
Zhou Xiao wondered, "Then why did you choose the Dharma Protector?" Could it be that the Danding Fire Alliance is causing infighting and wants to split it? ”
Dan Cheng understood that Zhou Xiao had misunderstood what he meant, and he hurriedly explained: "No, this time I chose the Honorary Protector, the Honorary Protector is different from the Four Protectors, he only enjoys the benefits of the Four Protectors, but he does not have to fulfill the obligations of the Four Protectors, and does not participate in the internal affairs of the Fire Alliance!" ”
This is a pie-in-the-sky thing! Zhou Xiao was stunned for an instant, the cultivation realm is different from the mundane world, the most important thing for a cultivator is to cultivate, such as exploration, alchemy, and smelting, all of which are aimed at improving their own realm, and have achieved the purpose of prolonging lifespan and immortality.
Cultivators hold important positions in the sect only for the sake of high salaries and convenience, and as for the right to command, they regard it as a demon that disturbs their state of mind, which directly affects the ascension of their realm. Therefore, many high-status elders and protectors, unless they encounter major events, will mostly delegate power, such as Hu Dingshan, who seems to be of a low rank, but in fact holds great power.
It's unbelievable that there are now honorary protectors who only enjoy benefits but do not fulfill their obligations! Zhou Xiao suddenly became interested: "Hey, tell me, why did the Danding Fire Alliance choose the Honorary Protector?" ”
