Chapter 73: Learning Alchemy
(There is a chapter at 12 o'clock)
Ming Wuyu said lightly: "I have known Wufang since I was a child, including Yu Xi, I watched her grow up from a little girl, and other book friends read it normally:." He suddenly glared at Gu Yan with a shimmering gaze and said, "Wufang, is he no longer alive?" ”
Gu Yan was not surprised by what he said, she said that Song Wufang traveled far away, but it was just a lie made up to comfort Song Yuxi, but it was actually full of flaws. She nodded and said, "I'm afraid you've heard of the changes in Taihua Mountain." In addition to the children of the Fan family, less than thirty percent of the eighty-seven Qi refining cultivators who were trapped by Fan Sixian into the magic circle could survive. Brother Song...... Died under Fan Sixian's secret method of refining the gods of the Nine Souls. ”
Ming Wuyu's expression was a little gloomy: "Acting without a party, I like to go sideways." I once persuaded him, but he was a little stubborn, and he cared about Yuxi's affairs, and he never listened to me. This time, there is nowhere to persuade him. ”
Gu Yan nodded, with a smile on his face, and said, "Ming Wufang, Song Wufang, if I guess correctly, you seem to have a friendship." Could it be that what you are cultivating is also demonic skills? ”
Ming Wuyu's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Gu Daoyou, you can't talk nonsense!" ”
In today's world of cultivating immortals, demon cultivators and Taoist sects are not incompatible, after all, everyone's purpose is to seek immortality and immortal Taoism. But Luodi is different, this is the ancient battlefield where demon cultivators and immortal cultivators have fought countless battles, and the Luodi monks led by the Qing Palace have always held a very opposed attitude towards demon cultivators.
This is especially true in Guanque City, I heard that the ancestor of the Lin family's founding faction had more than a dozen relatives who died in that war, and Guanque City was so strict with the inspection of foreign monks, most of them also had this meaning in it. In the city, there will never be demon cultivators allowed to gain a foothold, and if they are discovered, the protectors affiliated with the City Lord's Mansion will lock them up.
So when Gu Yan heard that Wufang had been living in Guanque City, he was very curious. After seeing Song Yuxi, he found that she did not have a trace of the breath of a demon cultivator, so he guessed that Wufang's magic skills were not family heirlooms, but inherited by her own teacher. That's why she made a test to see what was wrong.
Gu Yan saw that Ming Wuwu really changed color, and he was a little sure in his heart. She smiled and said: "Ming Daoyou, Brother Song and I are friends of life and death, and I don't want to ask more about the teacher's inheritance, but I want to stay in Guanque City for a while longer, and I will ask you to take care of it in the future, and ask for something." ”
Ming Wuyu said in a deep voice: "Gu Daoyou's mana is profound, and he has the disciples of the Shangqing Palace as backup, why do you need me to take care of it?" ”
Gu Yan didn't care, she said, "I want to learn the art of alchemy from you!" This sentence was something she had been thinking about for a long time. As a casual cultivator, compared to those monks who have the protection of the sect, the biggest problem is that they can't get enough resources for cultivation. As a monk, the most necessary thing is nothing more than spirit stones, pills, and magic weapons. In terms of spirit stones, she has the support of purple flame crystals, which can absorb the aura in the chaotic space, so it is not a problem. The magic weapon can be left until after the foundation is built, and Gu Hongye once asked her to go back to the Red Leaf Valley after the foundation building is successful, and there must be something left for her.
There was only the problem of the elixir, and she had to start working on it now. Although she has also collected some pills over the years, if she trades in the market, she usually has to be divided by the local organizers, and if she provides materials to ask someone to refine on her behalf, the alchemist also has to collect a part of the remuneration, so she came up with the idea of her own alchemy.
Things such as alchemy and refining tools belong to a kind of miscellaneous science, and usually in the sect, those monks who are gifted in this area will be selected to study, and each sect will provide two or three people, which is enough. The rest of the monks concentrated on cultivation. Due to the limitations of resources and environment, it is too late to concentrate on cultivation, especially for Qi refining cultivators, who want to form a pill within a limited lifespan, so naturally they will not learn these things.
However, Gu Yan's situation was different, she was not restricted by spirit stones, and her cultivation speed was very fast, but she needed more time to improve her state of mind. Therefore, compared to other casual cultivations, she has a lot of spare time to squander. Today's alchemy techniques, the usual description of techniques, are recorded in general classics, but the detailed control of spiritual techniques and the mastery of fire conditions require oral transmission by experienced alchemists.
Usually each alchemist has his own unique method, and he can easily and never teach anyone. Gu Yan had also visited some over the years, but when it came to the method of alchemy, they talked about it left and right, and refused to say more. That's why this time she proposed to Ming Wuyu that she wanted to learn the art of alchemy.
Ming Wufu snorted: "Are you blackmailing?" ”
Gu Yan smiled slightly: "No, it's just a request." For the sake of fighting side by side with Brother Song, Ming Daoyou will not refuse this request, right? ”
Ming Wuyu flicked his sleeves, turned around and left. said: "Come if you want, you can watch from the side when I am alchemizing." Learn as much as you want. After saying that, he quickly entered the city.
The small shop is really very simple, and it doesn't even have a store name, but it just has a cloth curtain obliquely on the outside, and the word "alchemy" is written. The storefront is not big, but it is divided into two entrances, the front is the storefront, and the back is the Danfang and his living room.
In front of the hall was a Dan furnace for decoration, covered with cobwebs, as if it had not been used for a long time. On both sides are rows and rows of lattices, on which are placed jade bottles, but most of them are empty. There are only some extremely inferior grade Qi Nourishing Pills, the one that can be exchanged for several large bottles with one spirit stone.
Seeing this scene, Gu Yan frowned slightly, followed Ming Wuyu through the hall, and arrived at a small Dan room, which looked very clean and spotlessly clean, and a small Dan furnace was placed on the stone platform. Ming Wuyu pulled a chair and sat down, and said, "What elixir do you want to refine, say it." For the sake of nothing, I will not take your reward. ”
Gu Yan shook his head, "I don't want to ask you to help me refine any pills, but I want to learn the art of alchemy from you!" ”
Ming Wuyu said: "The alchemy technique I have learned has extremely high control over the fire path, and it is not something that ordinary people can learn. He glanced at Gu Yan and said, "Looking at your cultivation, you have already reached the tenth level of qi refining, and you should consider the matter of building a foundation." Do you need to refine some dust cleansing pills, Izumo pills? As for the Bigu Pill and the Qi Nourishing Pill, I still have some more, so I'll give them to you. It's kind of repaying you for your love for Yuki. ”
