One Hundred and Twenty-Three Preparation [Second Watch]
Xu Zening recalled that when he first started to open the furnace for alchemy, he couldn't remember what kind of rush he was at the beginning. Although it can barely support the scene, it has never been prepared as carefully as glutinous rice. At that time, he was full of confidence, and he always felt that he had mastered all the details, and now as long as he made a move, he would definitely be able to successfully refine the pill for the first time, become a genius who shocked the whole sect, and became an inner disciple.
Although he couldn't say this now, Xu Zening always felt that when he first opened the furnace for alchemy, many disciples still had such a mentality, feeling that they were definitely talented, but they were just a little depressed when they were bound by the sect and some other things. As long as he can display his talents, no one in this world will be able to trample him under his feet.
Because of this kind of thinking, there will be more resentment after failure. Xu Zening was still a well-adjusted, the first time he failed, he blamed the reason on the Dan furnace, and felt that if he used a higher-level Dan furnace, he would definitely not fail.
He worked hard to get another chance to prove it, and finally accumulated enough elixir to be able to open the furnace again.
However, the second and third time, he still failed, and the failure seemed to be without a trace of suspense.
For those failures, he resented and complained, looking around for reasons for failure. It wasn't until the end that he realized that he hadn't prepared enough. His own ability was just one of the most ordinary outer disciples, and it was precisely because of his own lack of strength that he could not enter the inner gate. He felt that he had prepared enough, but in the end, he really didn't have anything to show off.
It was only at this time that he calmed down and carefully studied alchemy, honing his skills, and finally succeeded. Many outer disciples who had too high expectations of themselves were wiped out after several failures, or they could never see their position clearly, and in the end they failed to succeed in refining the elixir.
At this point, Xu Zening felt that he was already much stronger than many outer disciples.
As a result, he saw the efforts of glutinous rice.
Although Nuomi is also an outer disciple, she was brought up from the miscellaneous servants. At the beginning, Xu Zening didn't like her, and always felt that this was a backward person who had no relationship and no strength, and somehow hit her luck. Xu Zening didn't bother to embarrass such a little boy, but watched her coldly watch her take over all the work in the medicine field, and there was still a little schadenfreude in her heart.
However, it may be precisely because of this that Nuomi never feels that he is a proud son, nor does he feel that he has any more abilities than others. On the contrary, she has always lived carefully, studying everything carefully and thoroughly, hoping that she can become more useful.
Yun Lu Jue, a method that no one would seriously cultivate, was also practiced by her, just to take care of the immortal medicines in the medicine field. At the beginning, Xu Ze would rather think that this was a fool's behavior.
It's now. This little medicine refining boy has now gathered all the immortal medicines for opening the furnace, and he has carefully studied how to open the furnace for alchemy with the same serious attitude. Xu Zening realized that although he dreamed of succeeding at one time and becoming a blockbuster, deep down, he still felt that it was normal for him to fail.
He had never thought to take a look at the jade slip and try to learn more about the details of alchemy. Why did he add water sources in this step, and whether it would be better to replace the mortal water with spiritual water or the pure spiritual energy rain and dew condensed by the cloud dew recipe, he hadn't thought about it at all. He felt that he was well prepared, and it was only when he looked back that he realized how ridiculous his original idea was.
Glutinous rice did not have such an idea from the beginning. She always felt that she was not prepared enough, and that there should be something worth noting that could make failure less likely.
She is so thrifty, even if she has five copies of fairy grass in her hand, she uses it as half a share, and every opportunity is precious.
Xu Zening asked himself, if he had several copies of fairy grass in his hands, he would definitely not be so serious, and he might even feel that it was nothing if he failed a few times before, it was normal in the end, just learn from experience. He could even bet that most of the outer disciples in the Mountain Gate would think like this.
Because they have this attitude towards life all the way.
When they are down the mountain, most of them don't live badly, and the family's expenses are surplus, so they don't have to pick out the details so desperately. Later, after coming to the top of the mountain gate, they were the outer gate again, and the resources allocated on weekdays were enough for them to spend, a little wasteful, it was nothing. Even the immortal medicine in the medicine field, that will not belong to them, why bother to spend a lot of effort to toss.
-- But is that really something that doesn't belong to them, they can get a share of the medicine field, and if the medicine field is planted, won't they also benefit? Even if it's just a few more contribution points, it's better than not doing anything at all.
These people are just loosely accustomed to it, and they no longer have that tenacity.
Xu Zening thought for a while, and sighed.
Glutinous rice probably won't stay in the position of an outer disciple for a long time. The position of the alchemy boy is too small to accommodate such a person. No matter how bad the spiritual root is, if he can successfully refine the elixir at his current age, it will definitely be a major event that will shock the sect master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. When the time comes, I don't even know if this Ten Thousand Swords Sect will be able to keep such a person.
So, fail—Xu Zening secretly cursed in his heart. He couldn't even tell whether he was envious, jealous, hateful, or mixed with other feelings in his heart. Even if he said to himself that he hoped that Nuomi would show his ability later, so that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect could retain such a future alchemy master, he still knew that he was just jealous.
He still remembered that Ye Fan was standing behind Nuomi, and this one alone was not something he could fight against. The only thing he could do was to be vague when Glutinous Mi asked him questions. It's a pity that he understood a little too late, and by the time he started to want to make it bad, the glutinous rice basically had no questions to ask him.
I can only curse in my heart.
Nuomi didn't know that Xu Zening was already envious, jealous and hated her. At this time, she was sitting upright on the edge of the medicine garden and meditating, carefully examining the true yuan power in her body. According to the statement above the jade slip, the Qingxin Pill is the most common and easiest pill to refine, as long as the cultivation reaches the second layer of the enlightenment stage, the true yuan power in the body is enough to support the refining of the pill.
However, after carefully studying various materials, she still felt that it was easier to succeed by using the True Yuan Power to control the firepower of the fire. This kind of consumption is much more than ordinary refining. Ordinary refining of the Pure Heart Pill is just to use the True Yuan Force when opening the furnace and condensing the pill, and it doesn't take much effort in the middle of the process.
She checked the True Yuan Power in her body, and felt that this was definitely not enough to support the entire process.
For this purpose, she specially prepared spirit wine and blades of grass.
Lingjiu prepared two small pots, and the small seedlings on the small black ball slowly grew new leaves, and the old batch of leaves also grew a little. She looked at it carefully for a long time before picking a few pieces, planning to use these blades of grass to restore the true yuan power consumed in her body in an emergency.
It's already this time, and Nuomi can't help but start fantasizing. If she could refine the elixir this time, she would have already thought about it, and she would leave a whole furnace for Senior Brother Ye Fan. If there is any leftover, keep it for yourself. Although the level of this elixir is very low, and it has little effect on Ye Fan, she still wants to repay the original life-saving grace.
Her life was saved by the senior brother, but along the way, she has not been able to do anything that the senior brother can look down on.
Pill, this is something that even people like Ye Fan can't get at will. In the entire Ten Thousand Swords Sect, if you want to get any elixir, you still have to look at the face of Qingming Zhenren in the end. She felt that this gift was not enough to repay the grace of saving her life, but in the end, it should make Ye Fan happy.
She has already disposed of all the fairy grass used to open the furnace. It's also a great opportunity to practice. Thinking of Wei Shilei's efforts to find an opportunity to practice, she felt that she couldn't admit defeat. These will always have to be done by yourself in the future, although there will be some waste at the beginning, but they are all experience.
Naturally, she was unskilled at the beginning, and she really wasted a lot of immortal medicine because of this. But gradually, after the feeling came up, the elixir she processed became more and more beautiful. After all, this is not too difficult, she has seen it many times when she was in the main hall before, and she has also seen some processed immortal medicines, and she can always compare them to explore.
In the end, there were a total of four immortal medicines that she sorted out that could be used for opening the furnace, and another one had been destroyed by more than half, so she could only regretfully put it aside.
In addition to the elixir and spirit wine, what you also need to prepare are spirit stones and spirit runes. When renting the Dan Furnace, you need to pay a little spirit stone, which cannot be replaced by contribution points. Moreover, it is necessary to put the spirit stone around the large array where the Dan furnace is located, so that some spiritual fire can be born in the array and used for alchemy. If it is not enough, it is necessary to paste a spirit rune on the body of the Dan furnace to make the heat of the entire Dan furnace even higher.
Originally, this alchemy was supposed to use heavenly fire, earth fire, or human fire. It's a pity that the fire in the sky is rare, and there is no earth fire on Qingquan Peak, although Nuomi herself has cultivated the Melting Fire Technique, but her little spark, where is it enough. In this way, it can only be to take the last step back and resort to the formation.
