Chapter 17: Alchemy

"You mean, Xiao Meng can eat the elixir refined from this herb?"

Zhou Ling asked curiously.

"This herb is called the Imperial Blood Grass, and cultivators know that it can melt water and quench gold, but they don't know that it is also an advanced herbivore for high-level demonic beasts. Although this little horned dragon of yours is a divine beast bloodline, after all, his cultivation is still shallow, and I think this is also the reason why he is dormant in the wolf's den. Brother Qing said.

"But I don't know how to do alchemy!"

Zhou Ling said helplessly, and then looked at Brother Qing with anticipation.

"Don't look at me like that!" said Brother Qing.

"You can't be like this, you can't let me watch Xiao Meng eat my heart fire crystal, right?" Zhou Ling said.

"In this continent, if a martial artist wants to go further, alchemy is a skill that must be mastered! Because a good pill can not only heal injuries and help qi, but also play a key role in advancing and upgrading. You can use this Imperial Blood Grass to refine the Feeding Spirit Pill, and you can use it to feed it. ”

"Do you mean to let me learn alchemy?"

Zhou Ling asked excitedly, in his consciousness, alchemy was a very difficult but sacred thing.

"But I don't have an alchemy furnace. Zhou Ling said disappointedly.

"Who said that alchemy must have an alchemy furnace? You are too lonely and unheard!"

Brother Qing frowned.

"Alchemy and alchemy are originally the same sect, thousands of years ago there were still alchemists and alchemists, they may not be high in strength, but because of such an identity, they are highly respected. ”

"Martial arts cultivators use their own Force to make alchemy!" Brother Qing said unhurriedly after glancing at Zhou Ling.

"Do you learn or not?"

"Definitely learn! must learn!"

In the next few days, Zhou Ling set up camp in the Wolf King's Cave and learned the method of alchemy under the guidance of Brother Qing. From knowing all kinds of herbs and pills, understanding the attribute quality, to ingredients, quenching, and condensing pills, Zhou Ling felt more and more that the art of pill refining was broad and profound, and he became more and more interested.

Alchemy consumes a lot of Force, and Zhou Ling knows that if it weren't for this strength promotion, I am afraid it would be difficult to support it.

Finally. After countless attempts, Zhou Ling's techniques became more and more proficient, coupled with his unique soul power, alchemy gradually became handy, and Zhou Ling's talent in alchemy made Brother Qing also admire.

"Mix the Heavenly Spirit Fruit and the Imperial Blood Grass in a ratio of twenty-eight, and use your Force Flame to patiently calcinate and grind finely!" said Brother Qing as he stared at him.

Zhou Ling sat upright on the ground, holding a cluster of purple flames in the palm of his right hand, and under the command of the old man, he fused the two raw materials into the flame with his left hand, and suddenly made a "swish" sound.

As Zhou Ling kept calcining and fusing them, the two raw materials gradually converged and condensed into viscous form in the purple flame, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted into the air.

At this time, Zhou Ling had already completed the first two steps of alchemy, and then came to the most important condensing link. Because it took a lot of time to calcinate the herbs, extremely fine beads of sweat appeared on Zhou Ling's face, revealing a little tiredness, but his eyes were even more determined, and he vowed to refine the elixir.

If the force is too strong, it may cause the pill to be scorched, and if the fire is not yet there, it will not be able to condense hastily.

Although Zhou Ling had been promoted to the five-star warrior realm, the alchemy consumed too much force, and he already felt a little unbearable in the later stage, and his excessive concentration of his mind caused him to feel tired.

However, Zhou Ling still concentrated on the force to control the fire, tried his best to keep himself awake, and proceeded in an orderly manner according to the steps explained by Brother Qing.

Time had passed quietly for nearly an hour, Zhou Ling carefully controlled the Force flame, the Force aura that wrapped his mind merged into the purple flame, and several reddish-brown pills gradually took shape.

"Dancheng!"

As Zhou Ling shouted, several six pills were suspended in Zhou Ling's palm in an orderly manner, smelling the smell wafting from them, Zhou Ling was excited, and hurriedly took out a medicine bottle from the Xuantong Bead, and the six pills fell into it in an orderly manner.

"Haha, Brother Qing, look, I've refined the elixir!" Zhou Ling wiped away the beads of sweat on his face and said excitedly.

"Well, that's good, mortal-grade medium grade!" Brother Qing poured out a feeding elixir and sniffed it, and nodded his head to express satisfaction after checking the overall condition.

"A novice can refine the pill in one day, you have done a good job, but from the outside of the pill, the pill is not compact enough, this may be related to your lack of force!" said Brother Qing, carefully observing the elixir in his hand.

"This alchemy technique really consumes the Force, this is the refining of low-grade pills, if you want to refine high-level pills, I am afraid that your own strength will also have to go up. ”

Zhou Ling shrugged helplessly while being excited.

"You're a beginner now, and the rest of the road is up to you!"

Brother Qing encouraged him.

Zhou Ling nodded in agreement, and then suddenly remembered something, and with a movement of his mind, he summoned Xiao Meng out of the Xuantong Bead and handed a spirit pill in front of it.

Xiao Meng sniffed with his nose with a little curiosity, opened his mouth with a low groan and swallowed it, and then jumped to look at Zhou Ling.

"You still want it?"

"Roar!" Xiao Meng's huge head shook and nodded.

Zhou Ling was overjoyed, Xiao Meng's love of eating shows that what Qing Lao said was right, and he could feed it with the elixir in the future.

"Here, here you go!"

Knowing that the horned dragon ate an amazing amount of food, Zhou Ling gave it all the remaining elixirs.

Xiao Meng took all the orders and didn't have a single one left, opened his mouth and grunted, feeling like he had filled his appetite a little, and after a deep gap, he got into the Xuantong bead again.

"There's really no way to take it, either eat spars or pills, no matter how rich your family is, you have to be eaten by it. Zhou Ling said helplessly.

"Don't talk about it, let's hurry up and refine the pill, it just happens to be an opportunity to train in alchemy!"

In the next ten days, Zhou Ling stepped up refining the elixir while consolidating his own strength. Under the guidance of Qing Lao and his unremitting efforts, his alchemy skills became more and more handy, and the grade of the elixir became higher and higher, and the grade of some of the elixirs could reach and approach the third or fourth grade of ordinary elixirs.

Since occupying the Wolf King's Cave, Zhou Ling's days have finally stopped a lot. Fortunately, in addition to the many demonic beasts in the Warcraft Mountain Range, all kinds of medicinal herbs also exist, Zhou Ling found Azure Flower, Red Jingzhi, Demon Grass, etc., as well as Yang Ning Grass, Purple Monkey Flower and other medicinal materials that can be refined into the Dan.

On this day, Zhou Ling once again came to the island where he had cultivated before, which was the only secluded place within a radius of dozens of miles, with a quiet and comfortable environment, and no demonic beasts disturbed him.

Under the Baizhang Waterfall, Zhou Ling stood in the waves with his bare upper body and used his body to meet the powerful washing of the water curtain, some dark complexion with well-developed muscles exuded a wild beauty, the Chixiao Sword was inserted into the stone crack next to it and shone brightly, and the red sword was particularly dazzling.

Suddenly, Zhou Ling opened his closed eyes, and the breath of the Force was quietly released, and purple light instantly enveloped his body, and immediately the Chixiao Sword fell into his hands with a thought in his heart.

"Three Thousand Flame Slash!"

Zhou Ling's body suddenly burst out from the majestic waterfall, only to see the light of the Chixiao Sword soaring, as Zhou Ling shouted and slashed into the air, the calm lake was set off by a scorching wave, and the two waves were split and then collided and stirred, startling the fish to jump a wave.

"Alas, it seems that there is still a big gap between cutting off the lake!" Zhou Ling fell to the island in the middle of the lake with the giant sword, and said with some dissatisfaction.

"If you want to be able to cut through the water of this lake with a single sword, you must at least reach the realm of a martial king! It's not bad for a five-star warrior to be able to do this. Brother Qing's voice sounded in his head.

"Martial King, that's the realm that only grandfathers have!" Zhou Ling sighed.

"Tianyan Continent is very large, there are many places you have never known and there are many masters you have never met, and when you cultivate to a certain level, you will find that the Martial King realm is just at the level of ants!" Brother Qing's words were full of yearning and nostalgia for the mainland world, the glorious era that belonged to the ancient heroes.

"Hmm!" Zhou Ling seemed to have an understanding, looking at the mountains and mountains of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, the pride in his heart sprung up.

"No matter how difficult it is, I will become a strong man, and I will never allow anyone to insult my Zhou family again!"

Zhou Ling was even more determined not to admit defeat.

"By the way, I have to tell you that the martial arts test is coming, it's time to go back!"
