544 considerations
Mu Ying nodded indiscriminately as she swept her gaze away from the children one by one.
Master Wen quickly finished refining the three spirit herbs, and the medicinal liquids he refined were all very pure, and he could feel their clarity just by looking at the color, which showed that he had completely removed the impurities inside.
The children who saw this scene couldn't help but exclaim.
Mu Ying was not surprised by this scene: these spirit grasses were all low-grade spirit grasses, and Master Wen was a dignified five-grade alchemist, if even the impurities of these spirit grasses could not be removed, then it would be in vain.
"I did it just now, can you see it clearly?"
Master Wen placed three bottles of potion in front of them, looked at them and asked.
"I see it clearly."
All the disciples nodded their heads.
"But what's the confusion?" He asked again.
"Master Wen, there is a problem with the disciple."
As soon as Master Wen's voice fell, a little boy stood up, his simple little face was solemn, "The Sun Flame Flower and the Qingyue Grass are fine, but the disciple found that when you were refining the Ice Crystal Rock, the flames in the palm of your hand were big and small, and they were not completely unchanged, why is this?" ”
"That's what makes cryolite special." Master Wen curled the corners of his lips, glanced at the young man with a little appreciation, and explained: "There is a layer of ice-like surface on the outside of the cryocrystal, but the inside is a normal temperature. ”
Cryolite sounds like a stone. But in reality, it is not the fruit of a plant, and it seems to be covered with ice on the outside. But inside is the pulp, which is why it is slightly more difficult to refine.
"Who's this little guy?" Mu Ying asked Cao Hai beside him sideways.
"He is the most qualified disciple among these people, named Yan Nan."
The question Yan Nan asked was a common question in the eyes of these children, and when they got the answer, they all showed a sudden understanding, and then when they looked at the materials in their hands, they were eager to try.
"In that case, let ye begin." Master Wen saw the look of anticipation in their eyes. So there was no longer any further delay, "Each of you has these three kinds of spirit grass in your hands, and each of them has three plants. Now give you two hours, and I'll check them all when I'm done. ”
After Master Wen finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked them to start refining, and then sat down and quietly observed.
He also understands the excitement of these children. I think I have the confidence to show my skills. It's just that......
A meaningful smile faintly appeared on the corner of Master Wen's mouth, and there was a bit of expectation in his smile.
The children also started at this time, and some people were still flustered at the beginning, but after a while, they all calmed down, and the movements in their hands were carried out in an orderly manner.
But Mu Ying could see that this child was very calm and calm in refining, but some people vaguely revealed a little nervousness.
Three kinds of spirit grass, one kind of three plants. It's considered nine. The price of these spiritual grasses is nothing for children from good families, but for some people. It's obviously precious. This made them a little nervous before they started, and they had to put some effort into calming down.
Just like Yan Tong, Mu Ying saw that he didn't make a move at first, but stared at those spirit grasses for a long time, and then took a few deep breaths before he began to move.
Mu Ying watched and occasionally pointed out that someone asked Cao Hai for his name, but Cao Hai only thought she was curious, so he told her.
"It doesn't seem like it's going to be difficult this time."
Cao Hai didn't leave, and he was also quite interested in watching those disciples do it, and couldn't help but say in confusion when he looked at it.
Nearly half of the time has passed, and many disciples have already refined the Sun Flame Flower and Qingyue Grass, although one or two materials have been damaged, but there are also finished products, and it seems that the process is not too difficult.
"How can cryolites be so easy to refine?" Mu Ying chuckled softly.
Sun Flame Flower and Qingyue Grass are simple, but the difficulty of the ice crystal rock is not small for these children who are new to alchemy, if it is really simple, then Master Wen has no need to assess them.
Cao Jiang was only in charge of managing the spirit grass, but he didn't know much about how to alchemize, what Master Wen did seemed simple, but it was not so easy to really let these children do it.
This last spiritual grass, I'm afraid it will stump a lot of people.
"Ah......h
Yan Nan was frowning and staring at his palm, only to see that there was a pool of charred black medicinal liquid there, it was obvious that this was his refining failure.
The reason why Yan Nan screamed softly was because he was really a little incredulous.
He was the most talented of the fifty people, and he was also the fastest when refining pills, so he had already started the refining of cryocrystals before anyone else.
At first, he didn't take this ice crystal rock too seriously, he thought that the difficulty of this thing might be higher than the other two spirit grasses, but it wouldn't be a problem for him, as long as he was careful, he could do what Master Wen said just now, but as soon as he got started, he realized that what he thought was too simple.
The outer layer of the cryocrystal not only looks like ice, but it is actually ice! As it melted, the temperature of the potion became cold and warm from time to time, so he had to keep changing the size of the fire in his palm, he thought he had been careful, but he still experienced failure.
He pursed his lips and threw the liquid out with his hand, but he was a little unconvinced. Especially when he saw that many people looked at him because of his soft voice, he felt a little embarrassed.
Their own failures were actually seen by them!
Yan Nan glared coldly at those who peeked at him, and saw the ridicule in their eyes that could not be concealed, and his heart became more and more angry. Mu Ying could already see his left fist clenched quietly.
Mu Yingdang shook his head regretfully.
Yan Nan's alchemy level may be good, and she also noticed that the six medicinal liquids he had previously had been refined intact. Although he is very bad at handling impurities, he is a novice after all, and this kind of performance is already very good.
But no matter how high the alchemy is, if the heart is not good, it will be in vain. Yan Nan may have failed too few times, so this accidental failure made him so mindful, and when Mu Ying saw his undulating chest, he knew that his next refining would definitely end in failure.
I want to be a qualified alchemist. You have to be in no hurry to get things done, like he cares so much about other people's eyes, but he doesn't know how to find problems from himself. It will be difficult to achieve any big results on the road of alchemy in the future.
And what about the other disciples?
Their movements were slower than Yan Nan's, so when they saw that Yan Nan, who was always invincible and high-minded, was disappointed, they couldn't help but show a look of schadenfreude, and they looked like they were watching a good show. But when they refine this cryolite themselves. All of them don't look good.
Failure, failure, or failure!
Some disciples had already used up all nine materials, and no matter what the result was, they couldn't continue refining, so they put away the medicinal liquid and began to look at others. And some disciples, after experiencing a failure, no longer continue refining, but are carefully thinking about what was wrong in their own operation.
All such disciples. Mu Ying would always take a few more looks, and focus his attention on them.
A moment later. There is a result. The second time they refined the cryolite, they all failed.
If you fail once, you may be able to calm down, but if you fail again this second time, you will only have one last chance.
The children couldn't help but look to the left and right, and when they found that the others had also finished refining the first two spirit grasses, only this ice crystal rock had not been completed, they could no longer maintain a calm mood.
Now their grades are about the same, only when they refine the ice crystal rock, then they can successfully leave others behind, otherwise in the eyes of Master Wen, they have nothing special, if so, then how can Master Wen recommend himself in front of Yunyi Zhenren?
Thinking about it like this, the pressure in their hearts became even greater, and some people even began to tremble with their hands holding the spirit grass.
Mu Ying saw all this in his eyes, but only raised his eyebrows.
Her eyes were on the three children, one was Chai Fan, the other was Xu Maoshan, and the last one was Yan Tong.
Two hours had passed, and all the children had already used up the spirit grass, and at the same time, their results were also clear.
Master Wen sat in place and didn't move, but he had already looked at all the medicinal liquids on the tables of all the disciples.
"The most refining liquids are Yan Nan, Chai Fan, Xu Maoshan, and Yan Tong. And the cleanest ones removed from the liquid medicine were Yan Tong and Chai Fan. Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Master Wen finally announced the results.
Immediately, several people whose names he called them all showed joy, but there was one exception.
The most refining medicinal liquids are all seven parts, because the first two spirit grasses are not very difficult, and they are basically all 100% completed, only the cryolite is a material at most only one that has been refined by the disciples, and the other two have become medicine residues.
Yan Nan glared at Yan Tong with an unkind face, expressing disdain for the fact that the liquid medicine he had refined had at least the impurities.
Yan Nan himself was the only fire-type single spirit root cultivator among these people, which gave him a great sense of superiority, knowing that no matter which sect he was in, he could be favored by the sect. In addition to him, Chai Fan and Xu Maoshan are second only to him in the double spirit root, and their qualifications are also good, if they are praised like himself, he still thinks it is acceptable, but what is the matter with Yan Tong?
That guy was dressed shabby all day long, and the spirit root was only a very ordinary three-spirit root, such a person was even stronger than himself in removing impurities, so where did he put his face?
Mu Ying clearly heard Yan Nan snorting coldly at Yan Tong, but he didn't look at Yan Nan at all, as if he didn't care about this move.
However, Mu Ying had already made a decision in her heart, where she would accept anyone as a disciple, and she would not consider Yan Nan.
No matter how good his qualifications are, no matter how good his spiritual roots are, but his temperament is not good, such a person can't hold his breath, he is not convinced by anyone, and he doesn't know how to make progress on his own, so he has been excluded by Mu Ying.
And looking at it, there are only two people that Mu Ying likes the most in his heart, Chai Fan and ...... Yan Tong.
The biggest feeling that these two people gave Mu Ying was stability.
The two of them didn't start refining with the spirit grass, but they both meditated on the steps in their hearts, and then they raised their palms and began refining. Secondly, they had no problem refining the first two spirit grasses, and none of the three materials were wasted, except that when it came to the last cryolite plant, something went wrong.
The first time the cryolite failed, they did not suffer a big blow, but were seriously silent for a moment, and only after they were ready did they start the second time. After the second failure, they did not become impatient and restless, but patiently reflected on it again, and did not start to move until everything was counted.
And in addition to that, they all have the same advantage - the results of removing impurities are good.
Removing impurities is not only a test of the strength of the disciples' divine consciousness, but also a test of their patience.
Since these fifty people are already the elite of this group of disciples, their own disciples must be selected from these people. Mu Ying's highest requirements are not that his disciples must have good spiritual roots, must have a lot of wealth, and must cultivate to be superb. What she really wants is a person with the temperament of an alchemist.
Be less anxious, be more attentive, and be more observant.
If these conditions are met, as long as the qualifications are not bad, then Mu Ying can consider it. On the contrary, if this disciple is no matter how good his qualifications and spiritual roots are, but if he acts impatiently, is easy to get angry, and always attributes the reason why he is inferior to others elsewhere, instead of being willing to reflect on his own mistakes, no matter how good he is, Mu Ying will not be tempted.
She didn't want to cultivate the second Hu Lie, otherwise it would be a disaster for the Immortal Cloud Sect, which would be completely opposite to her intention to take care of the Immortal Cloud Sect.
It's just that Yan Tong and Chai Fan, who is better, it will take time to observe, and you can't make a decision too easily.
Just as Mu Ying was thinking about this, Master Wen had already told them about the problem they had just seen, and explained to them how to refine a spiritual grass such as Ice Crystal Rock, which was undoubtedly much more detailed, which made the disciples nod their heads one after another.
This time, I really understood, I understood.
"Let's go back, you've seen enough, but the work isn't done yet." Seeing this, Cao Hai began to urge Mu Ying, who nodded and followed him away.
"There are so many children, and in the end, only four of them have succeeded in refining cryolite." Cao Hai shook his head as he spoke, obviously not expecting this kind of result in the end, "It seems that the level of these children is not as high as I thought." (To be continued.) )
