119 Pharmaceutical Alchemist
Dr. Jin's cultivation is the Jindan period, and with his cultivation alone, he is also ranked first in this Yulan City, but the reason why he was treated respectfully by Luo Liejiang is his other identity-
Wupin Pharmaceutical Alchemist!
First of all, when it comes to alchemists, it is a noble profession that everyone knows about. But there is no monk who does not use elixir. Just like the Qi Condensing Pill and the Bigu Pill, these are the most commonly used pills for monks. Some pills can improve the cultivation of monks, some can wash the marrow and remove impurities, some can restore aura, and some can heal wounds.
There are seven grades of elixir, and similarly, alchemists are also divided into seven grades, one is the lowest grade, and seven grades are the highest.
Because each monk will need different types of pills due to various needs, the status of the alchemist who makes the elixir is quite high. Just like the Mu family in Fengmo City, there are three alchemists, one second-grade, and two first-grade. The status of these three alchemists in the Mu family is quite high, although their cultivation is not high, but even Mu Sufeng, the head of the Mu family, is very respectful to them, lest they throw their sleeves and leave when they are unhappy, and choose another owner. You must know that alchemists, even if they are of a lower grade, there are many families who are willing to recruit them, after all, with their alchemy alone, they can not only make some pills for their own children to improve their cultivation, but also improve the overall strength of the family. Even if it is made into an elixir and sold in the store, it can also seek benefits for the family.
In the Qixing Continent, the number of alchemists is very small. I'm afraid that only one alchemist can come out of a thousand monks. And most of the alchemists are low-level, with the number of first-grade and second-grade alchemists being the largest, they are called low-grade alchemists, and the number of alchemists above the third grade is very small. The third to fifth grades are medium alchemists; Alchemists above the sixth rank are also very few in the entire continent, and they are called high-level alchemists.
To become an alchemist, there are four conditions. First, there must be a fire spirit root. Alchemy requires the use of fire, so the fire attribute must be very active. The second is to have a high intensity of divine consciousness. This is because you have to be multitasking when alchemy. Not only must the temperature of the fire be regulated, but also appropriate changes must be made at all times according to the situation of the medicinal materials in the alchemy furnace, which requires the strength of the monk's divine consciousness to be higher, otherwise it will not be possible at all. The third is to have a lot of resources, such as enough spiritual grass, a master to lead you, a pill recipe and an alchemy furnace, and so on. Only when the resources are sufficient, can the monks practice more. Practice makes perfect before it is possible to become a qualified alchemist. But if there are not enough spirit stones and there is no money to buy spirit grass to practice qi, then it will be difficult to improve alchemy. Fourth, we must have a good understanding. Some people meet all of the above conditions, but they just don't have the understanding of alchemy, so no matter how they practice, it will have no effect.
The above four conditions. All of them are indispensable, so it is very difficult to become an alchemist. And if you want to become a high-level alchemist, the difficulty is even more conceivable.
Low-level alchemists can find a good job to do whether they are in a small family or in a shop; Needless to say, there are medium-sized alchemists, most of them are big families begging them to join, and even willing to pay high rewards to impress these alchemists, and when these alchemists join the family, they only need to hand in a fixed number of pills every year, or even more than this number of pills. Whether to do it or not to do it all depends on the alchemist's own will, if he is unwilling, the family will not dare to do anything to him. As for the High Alchemist. There is no big family that can invite him to move, and the people themselves are a force, so whether to do alchemy or not depends on his own preferences, and no one dares to provoke him.
Medium and low-level alchemists generally want to join a certain family or a certain force, so that they can not only get some benefits. In the same way, he can rely on these families or forces to protect himself, so that he has no worries about food and clothing, and has abundant resources for him to continue to practice alchemy. And you don't have to worry about your personal safety and life trivialities. But a high-level alchemist doesn't need to join any forces.
As an alchemist, you will inevitably have to deal with all kinds of people. There is money. There are also powerful people, as long as he helps others refine pills, it is equivalent to gaining a personal connection. When he refines more pills and knows more people, a large network of people will be formed. If the level of this alchemist is high, there will even be monks in the Jindan stage and the Yuan Infant stage who want to please him, after all, no matter how high or low the cultivation is, they all need to use the pill, even if they don't use it themselves, maybe their relatives and friends will also use it. So in this way, every alchemist with a higher grade has a powerful reserve group, and this force is so great that even some big families dare not match it. Therefore, the high-level alchemist has the ability to protect himself, and no one dares to provoke him without a long eye.
The alchemist is already very powerful, but the pharmaceutical alchemist is even more powerful.
The so-called pharmaceutical alchemist can see the patient's doctor, so as to prescribe a curative medicine, and when the patient himself has gathered the medicine, he can open the furnace for alchemy, so as to cure the patient's injury. Of course, if the pharmaceutical alchemist has the medicinal materials needed in the prescription, then the patient can also directly pay for the pharmaceutical alchemist to refine the pill with his medicinal materials.
Monks are also human beings, and although they are not as weak as mortals, and often suffer from colds and fevers, monks also have physical discomforts, and this discomfort is often more severe than the consequences of mortal illness.
There are many reasons why a monk's body has problems, such as something wrong with the dantian, so that he can't cultivate normally; Or the monk has been poisoned by some demon beast, and his life hangs by a thread; Or maybe there was something wrong with his meridians during cultivation, and so on. These diseases are all related to the life of the monk or the major matters of cultivation, and if they are not treated, they will only make the physical condition worse and worse, and this disease will not get better on its own. Although some diseases of mortals will come in a hurry, some diseases can be recovered automatically even if they do not take medicine, after a long time.
The life of a mortal is only a few decades, and it is a pity to die halfway, let alone a monk? A monk could have lived hundreds or thousands of years, but if something happened to his body and he died after only a few dozen years of life, it would be even more pathetic. Therefore, in this case, monks need a doctor for healing even more than mortals.
Some people may wonder why instead of a special doctor just prescribing the medicine and then asking the patient to take the prescription to the alchemist for alchemy, but the prescription and alchemy must be completed by one person?
In fact, it is very simple, only the doctor himself will know best what the patient's illness is, what are the medicinal materials needed, and how much specific amount of medicinal materials should be used when refining the pill, so that the refined pill is the most effective. And the most important point is that the treatment is not achieved overnight, maybe when the patient takes the pill, the condition will change, then it will have to be diagnosed and treated a second time, take the second pill, if it is not good, there will be a third prescription, take the third pill......
Therefore, it is generally the person who sees the patient to make alchemy for the patient, but sometimes there may be a situation where the doctor's level is low, but the patient's illness is relatively strict, and the prescription prescribed is not made by a low-grade pharmaceutical alchemist. At this time, the patient can only have two choices: go to a high-grade pharmaceutical alchemist to see him for alchemy, or take the prescription prescribed by the previous pharmaceutical alchemist and find a high-grade alchemist to help him refine the pill.
But under normal circumstances, few alchemists are willing to help patients follow the prescription for alchemy, this is because if the prescription is correct, it is fine, but if the doctor's level is limited and the prescription is wrong, then if something happens to the other party after eating the pill he has refined, then the responsibility will become his own, so in order to avoid these situations, unless he is familiar with the patient, the alchemist is generally unwilling to do so.
Doctor Jin is a five-grade pharmaceutical alchemist, this grade, not to mention in Yulan City, is in the entire Qixing Continent, it is also ranked, which shows how high his status is.
This time, Liu Yan's illness was very strict, so when Luo Lijiang found out that his wife's illness was not as simple as the two thought, he did not hesitate to spend a huge price to invite Dr. Jin to come. Otherwise, in addition to Dr. Jin, no matter who is invited to Yulan City, even if the prescription is correct, it is not capable of refining it, and in the end, it is necessary to invite Dr. Jin to come out.
But this Dr. Jin, probably because of his outstanding ability, is used to being praised by everyone, and his personality is very eccentric and moody. Luo Liejiang was thinking that if he really invited the pharmaceutical alchemist in his house or someone else in Yulan City to see his wife, then as soon as the prescription came out, he would go to Dr. Jin again when they couldn't refine the pill, and he would definitely disdain to come again.
You've all looked for someone else, and you only think of me when others can't see it? Am I not a substitute for others? So what did you do earlier?
With such an idea, no one who is a little arrogant will be willing to take over this patient again, let alone Dr. Kim, who has always had a strange temper?
Fortunately, when they invited Dr. Jin to come, Dr. Jin still agreed. Therefore, at this time, Luo Liejiang not only respected Dr. Jin for his own strength, but also thanked him for curing his wife's illness. So after hearing him say that he wanted to ask himself to do him a favor, Luo Lijiang thought: No matter how difficult his request is, as long as he can do it, he will never refuse. (To be continued)
