Chapter 60: Scramble
"Okay, you cunning boy, you are going around and around, you want to peek at the classics of our association, no way!" Tang Lang's proposal was rejected by Pu Gaofei.
Tang Lang shook his head and sighed: "Steward Pu, I just wanted to correct the name of the academy, but I was so misunderstood by you, and the Alchemy Association has no bearing at all!"
"Don't use the agitation method, the old man won't be fooled!" Pu Gaofei was not moved at all.
"Steward Pu, take your leave! I will meet with the dean, and tell the Alchemy Association of the contempt for the academy in detail, and let the dean decide for himself!" Tang Lang turned around and left.
"Wait!" Pu Gaofei hurriedly stopped him, and said secretly in his heart: You kid don't know how to add fuel and vinegar when he goes back, instead of being maliciously slandered by you, it is better to explain clearly here and not give any chance to quibble.
"The old man has always been good friends with your sect dean, and the relationship between the Alchemy Association and Canglei Academy is also very harmonious, so don't cause trouble needlessly. It's better to take you to visit the association's collection of classics, so that you can know that what the old man said is true, but you can only quickly browse the classics designated by the old man, and you are not allowed to look through them at will!"
"No problem!" Tang Lang hurriedly agreed, originally he didn't want to study alchemy seriously, he just wanted to get enough Zhicao Dan before the competition.
Pu Gaofei took Tang Lang through the front yard, came to a small building in the backyard, casually pushed open the door, pointed to the rows of bookcases closest to the door, and said: "These are all introductory classics, the number alone is several times more than your Canglei Academy, not to mention the large number of middle and high-level classics treasured in the Tianqing Kingdom Branch, not to mention the Canglei Academy, even the Royal Academy is not comparable!"
Looking at Pu Gaofei's smug expression, Tang Lang waved his hand and said: "What's the use of a large number of classics, the key is to look at the quality, who knows if there is a lot of content in these classics!"
"Why are you so tricky, kid!" Pu Gaofei casually took out a copy of "Introduction to Alchemy", and said angrily: "This introductory classic is the culmination of the association's collection of alchemy techniques from all over the world, and new content will be added every year, which can be called an alchemy encyclopedia, and the "Basic Alchemy Guide" in your college's classic library is not even one-fifth of this one, see what else do you have to say now?"
Tang Lang was noncommittal: "Just by the thickness of the classics, there is still no way to prove the gold content of the content." The Academy's "Basic Alchemy Guide" is concise and to the point, and every part of it is directed at the trick of alchemy, I think it should be more powerful, unless it allows me to make a quick comparison!"
Pu Gaofei glared at him viciously for a long time before he gasped and said, "Just let your kid dip some light and see how it goes!"
Tang Lang immediately agreed, took over "Introduction to Alchemy" and quickly flipped through it, each page was less than a breath long, and it looked like he was browsing and comparing. After a stick of incense, he closed the book, closed his eyes and meditated silently for a long time, then opened his mouth and said, "I see!
"What?" Pu Gaofei was furious: "How is it possible? You are too ignorant, the old man wanted to convince people with reason, but I didn't expect you to blindly mess around, and I don't want to be entangled anymore, even if Zong Bo is in person, I don't care about it!"
Tang Lang said solemnly: "Why is Steward Pu angry? I just want to ask you for Danshu, and I don't have any other intentions. There are a total of twenty-four commonly used Cheng Dan techniques recorded in the classics I just watched, which are consistent with the records of the academy, but the records of the academy are more complete, such as the Yunhuo Duel......"
The more Pu Gaofei listened, the more surprised he became, as quickly as Tang Lang did just now, it was impossible to memorize all the contents, if he didn't really see a more complete classic book in the academy, how could he find the difference between the two in a moment.
With the assistance of the system, Tang Lang had already written down all the "Introduction to Alchemy", at this time, in order to create an amazing effect, he selected a few differences from the academy, and talked about tea kung fu endlessly, Pu Gaofei's eyes showed a blank look, he had always been extremely confident in the classics of his own association, but now he was pointed out in public that he was insufficient, and the whole person was in a trance......
"Steward Pu...... Steward Pu, in fact, the classics of your association are not bad, at least in terms of practical operation, they are more detailed than the academy!" Tang Lang saw that the other party's expression was wrong, and he didn't dare to continue to stimulate the other party, so he eased his words.
Pu Gaofei finally came back to his senses and sighed heavily: "It turns out that it is really the old man who sits in the well and watches the sky, Canglei Academy is really profound, and Xiaoyou is indeed talented in alchemy, but you can find so many differences by looking at it at will, hey......"
Pu Gaofei's whole person was like a frosted eggplant, completely devoid of brilliance, and Fang Cai judged the two of them, Tang Lang felt a little uncomfortable, and said very sincerely: "Steward Pu, I am just talking on paper, and alchemy is not just by reading classics can succeed, I am here to sincerely seek advice!"
Lin Xiuran didn't interject just now, and when he saw that the two of them had finally eased up, he spoke up: "Old medicine jar, this kid Tang Lang is very whimsical, he thinks that there are many commonalities between alchemy and formation, otherwise why do you think I brought him to you!"
Pu Gaofei showed a puzzled expression, Lin Xiuran briefly recounted Tang Lang's thoughts, and the more he listened, the more his eyes lit up: "There are really a few doorways! If you add a fire array and a wind array to the Dan furnace, the efficiency of the spirit grass purification will definitely be greatly improved, although the requirements for the Dan master may be higher, but it is worth anything to refine a more refined pill!"
"You can't fight Tang Lang's idea, he is a member of our Formation Association, give you some advice for free, I have already suffered a lot!" Lin Xiuran felt the change in Pu Gaofei's gaze, and hurriedly seriously declared Tang Lang's identity.
"Lao Lin, you're not right! I see that Xiao Tang's talent in alchemy is also good, as long as he has a little guidance, he can directly certify as an alchemy apprentice, and with my care, he can be promoted to an alchemist in less than two years. Xiao Tang, let me tell you, alchemists are much more favored than array mages, whether it is a martial artist or a spell master who wants to advance quickly, they can't do without our elixir......"
"Old medicine jar, you are not authentic, how can you dig the corner of the wall in person, Tang Lang is a member of my Formation Association, don't go too far!" Lin Xiuran directly blocked Tang Lang behind him, not giving Tang Lang a chance to agree.
"Actually, that, I can learn the formation and alchemy together, so that it is possible to integrate the two!" Tang Lang muttered quietly on the side.
"No! If you are distracted like this, you will not be able to master either of the last two!"
"What's not to do! Tang Lang just glanced at it a few times, and then wrote down all the classics, such a talent can't be wasted!"
"No, if I say no, I can't do it......"
The managers of the two associations stared at each other widely, arguing so much that their faces were red and their necks were thick, and Tang Lang simply couldn't interject on the side.
In fact, Tang Lang secretly rejoiced in his heart, the more you fight, the better, just add more fire: "Two stewards, don't hurt the harmony! Both of them are for my good, Tang Lang is grateful! I just thought of an idea, anyway, my current realm is just an apprentice, during this period I still study the formation and alchemy at the same time, if I am promoted first, I will concentrate on studying, so that I will not waste energy, how about it?"
"Okay, that's it!" The two agreed in unison, glanced at each other, and began to wonder how to attract all of Tang Lang's attention.
"Steward Pu, in fact, I came here today to ask for advice on the refining method of Zhicao Dan!" Tang Lang pushed the boat down the river and told the true purpose.
Pu Gaofei was overjoyed: "Haha, okay! Isn't it just a Zhicao Dan, the old man will hand it over to you personally!"
"Tang Lang, how can you have the kung fu to refine the pill by yourself, why don't I send you a pair of mid-level, no, high-level spirit gathering array to you, the speed of cultivation is much faster than swallowing the Zhicao Pill!" Lin Xiuran refused to show weakness, and tried another way to win him over.
"Lao Lin, don't harm Tang Lang, the high-level spirit gathering array is for martial artists or spell masters, so strong spiritual power won't blow him up all at once!"
"Old medicine jar, what do you know! I can embed an adjustment formation in the jacket of the high-level spirit gathering array, so that the spiritual power is slowly output, but it is more pure and condensed, and the benefits are more!"
"The high-level spirit gathering array will consume three second-order spars in an hour, and you can buy a bottle of Zhicao Pill, are you too many spars to use up?"
The two began to quarrel again, and Tang Lang heard it loud: "Stop, stop for a moment!" Lin Guan, I must learn this alchemy, otherwise how can I understand the mystery, the high-level spirit gathering array is too precious, and I can't use my current cultivation for the time being, so I'll talk about it later." ”
Pu Gaofei threw a "you are a failure" look at Lin Xiuran, and happily took Tang Lang back to his room to explain the essentials of Zhicaodan.
"Zhicao Dan, as the name suggests, is made of the main herb Zhicao combined with several auxiliary herbs such as Qiyao grass and heather......
When it comes to pills, Pu Gaofei regained the demeanor of a generation of masters, even low-level pills such as Zhicao Dan were also brilliantly spoken, far richer than the content that Tang Lang had seen from the classics.
"Alchemy and alchemy, the focus is on refining words, just talking about it without refining it has no meaning. Next, I will open the furnace to refine Zhicao Dan, and I will explain the techniques and tricks used in it one by one, you watch carefully first, and if you don't understand anything, you can ask questions at any time!"
Pu Gaofei cleaned up the residue of the Dan furnace just now, put in the spirit grass such as sesame grass, Qiyao grass, heather grass, etc., lit the furnace fire again, and output a soft spiritual power from the palm of his hand to wrap the spirit grass, so that the high temperature slowly burned, and the tender green juice emerged from the spirit grass, gradually condensing into a thick spiritual liquid, which was particularly eye-catching in the flames.
"Look ahead! The following is the key, the quality of Cheng Dan depends on the time that is less than these three breaths!" Pu Gaofei's expression became very solemn, and he reminded Tang Lang to pay attention.
