Chapter 267: Stubborn Medicinal Herbs
"Lin Gongzi has not only heard of it slightly, but he should say that he knows it very well!" Mrs. Biyue looked at Lin Yan with a smile, and her tone was also full of doubts.
Although Lin Yan deliberately acted very naturally, so that people could not see anything abnormal, Lady Biyue felt that his smile was a bit mysterious, or that it was hidden.
This may be a woman's sixth sense, sometimes it is really unbelievable and unguardable!
Lin Yan was slightly surprised, but he was very experienced in facing this situation, and he knew how to deal with it without thinking about it.
There was no change in his heart, he was still silent, and he seemed very calm, "Lady Biyue really doesn't know anything about this medicinal herb, this seems a bit surprising!"
The implication is that it is impossible for you, Lady Biyue, to take out a medicinal herb that you don't know about for people to refine, and this kind of thing will affect your reputation.
Mrs. Biyue was slightly stunned, and secretly thought: What a cunning and difficult little fox to deal with, she actually took a bite back!
She can be regarded as having personally learned the sharpness of Lin Yan's eloquence, and if she is not careful, she will be tricked!
However, she is not an easy person, let alone a fledgling young man, she is extremely rich in both experience and experience, and she will not mess up in the face of Lin Yan's sharp counterattack.
I saw her smile and said: "Although Biyue has studied medicinal materials and alchemy, there are so many medicinal materials in the world, Biyue naturally can't know everything! ”
She cleared herself up in a single sentence, and she was justified and did not have to bear any responsibility at all.
Lin Yan didn't intend to let her take any responsibility, but just avoided answering what kind of medicinal herb Tie Qianteng was, so he didn't plan to hold on to it.
"I completely believe Madame's words, it must be that some staff member accidentally got this medicinal herb here from somewhere!" He also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and took the initiative to give Mrs. Biyue a step, because he didn't intend to continue to entangle at all, and the conversation changed, "Actually, I don't know much, but I know that this medicinal material is not afraid of fire at all, so it is very difficult to refine! As for its medicinal properties and effects, I also want to study and study." ”
"Is that really all there is?" Lady Biyue still didn't quite believe Lin Yan's explanation.
"These are all things I saw in an ancient book, and I myself have never seen this herb before. Lin Yan shrugged his shoulders, and then said, "But I'm quite interested in this medicinal material, because Madame should know that I have spiritual fire, and as an alchemist, I'm also very interested in studying some cold herbs." ”
Lin Yan also took the opportunity to ask Mrs. Biyue directly, because he was sure that the other party would not be stingy.
"This ......" The doubts in Lady Biyue's heart have never been satisfactorily answered, and she will not be able to make up her mind for a while.
Then she took the iron thousand vines in front of her eyes and looked at them carefully.
"It's really strange and abnormal, it has been calcined by Mu Dailin for a long time, and there is no trace of burning at all, it's really strange!"
She watched and thought at the same time, and even sniffed with her nose, and she found nothing unusual except that it was black and unusually hard.
What kind of herb is this? Is it really just as the little fox said, except for fire resistance, is there really nothing special?
After thinking about it for a while, because she couldn't come up with any conclusions, she didn't bother to put her mind on it, and handed it to Lin Yan......
Exchanging an unknown, unrefinable, and worthless medicinal herb for Lin Yan's favor was obviously a good deal for Mrs. Biyue, who had always been good at business.
Of course, even if she knew what kind of medicinal herb this unseemly-looking Tie Qianteng was, she might not be able to exert its value, because she could not refine it, and she did not know how to use it to refine the elixir.
She's not a elixir either.
————
In addition to Lin Yan, the seven people are still refining the medicinal materials in full swing, and the pieces of fire crystals burst out with dazzling light and scorching tongues of fire, making the entire Dading a raging fire, a different medicinal herb is constantly churning in the red flames, and drops of colorful liquid beads continue to appear, but there are also white smoke coming out from time to time!
Lady Biyue didn't think about what happened just now, but focused her attention back on the seven people, watching each person's movements intently, not only paying attention to the process and quality of each person's purifying medicinal materials, but also checking their control of the flames and the alchemy techniques at all times.
In fact, for ordinary alchemists, the so-called fire control is just to use extremely limited soul power to sense the temperature of the flame released by the fire crystal, and then adjust the position of the medicinal materials in the flame, in order to achieve the temperature of calcining the medicinal materials, in fact, it is not possible to release the flame freely.
After all, different medicinal materials have different requirements for the temperature of the flame, and the slightest difference will burn the medicinal materials to ashes. Therefore, for mortal-level alchemists, alchemy is a very difficult thing, and the power is extremely low.
Therefore, what Mrs. Biyue took out this time were basically ordinary cheap medicinal materials for everyone to practice, and because of this, Lin Yan still did not do it so far, but leisurely watched other people's performances like an audience.
He found that except for Jing Cong and Xia Qingshuang, several others failed from time to time, and even Mu Dailin only did a better job when refining the first medicinal material, Blood Clotting Grass, while other medicinal materials were struggling.
"Jing Cong seems to have a good understanding of the characteristics of medicinal materials, and his techniques are quite skilled, no wonder he can independently refine the Zhuji Dan, it seems that he has also put a lot of effort into alchemy, and it is also obvious that his level is still above Xia Qingshuang, and he does have a bit of arrogant capital!"
Noticing that Jing Cong had already refined two kinds of medicinal materials, and both of them were relatively smooth, and there was no failure, Lin Yan secretly had some affirmation of his alchemy skills.
Of course, even so, it is far from entering his eyes, let alone comparable to him.
Then his attention was on Xia Qingshuang's side, and Xia Qingshuang was getting more and more anxious at this moment, because the Biling root she was dealing with now also belonged to the "old stubborn" level, and it had been calcined for a long time, only a layer of skin had been burned, and the color of the entire medicinal herb had not changed significantly.
Moreover, although the Biling Root is more resistant to fire and difficult to refine, it is still not the same as that of Tie Qianteng, and Tie Qianteng cannot be refined with flames other than true fire at all, and it is even difficult to calcine.
In addition, Biling root is also a relatively common medicinal material, and it is not as rare as Tie Qianteng that no one knows, even if Xia Qingshuang wants to raise an objection, it is not appropriate. So she could only bite the bullet and continue to endure this torment.
"It's really stubborn! It's really unlucky for Miss Ben to encounter this nasty Biling Root!" Xia Qingshuang also cursed secretly like Mu Dailin before, her beautiful face was not only covered with fragrant sweat, but also her face was quite ugly, looking at the Biling Root in front of her was full of irrepressible hatred.
Mrs. Biyue on the side has been paying close attention to Xia Qingshuang's refining, and also found that her expression was ugly, but she only showed a faint smile, and at the same time secretly thought in her heart: "Xia Qingshuang is a genius carefully cultivated by the Xia family, according to legend, her alchemy talent is not under Jing Cong, and it is even rumored that she can also refine the Zhuji Dan independently, but looking at her performance today, it seems that she is helpless against this Biling Root!"
Of course, she didn't laugh at and look down on Xia Qingshuang, because she herself knew very well that Biling Root was not an ordinary medicinal material, and without a certain amount of time, even an old leather level alchemist would be difficult to deal with.
However, her mood was relatively relaxed, without the slightest anxiety and uneasiness, and she seemed to be more confident in Xia Qingshuang.
As Lin Yan guessed, the reason why she intended to give this Biling root to Xia Qingshuang was naturally to list Xia Qingshuang as a key object to observe, and wanted to see how strong Xia Qingshuang was.
At this moment, after Lin Yan glanced at Xia Qingshuang, he saw that she was still "refining" Bi Linggen, and there was no progress, so his interest suddenly disappeared, but he also glanced at Mrs. Biyue, and said secretly in his heart: "She took great pains to organize this so-called exchange meeting, the purpose is definitely not only to refine the Shangqing Pill, she will not just want me to show the spiritual fire, there must be other intentions." ”
Regarding Mrs. Biyue's underlying intentions, Lin Yan had to think a little more, because he knew very well that this woman's background was very complex and huge, and if he was not careful, it was possible to get into trouble without knowing it.
But he didn't have to worry about it for the time being, judging from the fact that Mrs. Biyue was just organizing this exchange meeting, he also understood that even if this woman had any intentions for him, she would not take drastic measures for the time being, and it was more likely that she wanted to ask him for help or some kind of cooperation.
And whether it is to help or cooperate, as long as it is not forced, he can consider it.
In fact, he also has a good impression of Mrs. Biyue, of course, in addition to her talent for seducing sentient beings and charming minds, in addition, he is very recognized for Mrs. Biyue's way of dealing with people.
In addition, Lin Yan also wanted to get on the Flying Eagle Pavilion through the line of Lady Biyue, the purpose was to give Mu Dailin the opportunity to join the Flying Eagle Pavilion, which would also be of great help to Mu Dailin's cultivation in the future.
After all, the Flying Eagle Pavilion can provide a lot of resources and cultivation environment, some of which he can't even provide, although he also has resources that are difficult to appear in the Flying Eagle Pavilion or even the entire wasteland, but many of them are not suitable for Mu Dailin, so entering the Flying Eagle Pavilion is quite important for Mu Dailin.
Just when Lin Yan was secretly planning, suddenly, there was a situation on Mu Dailin's side.
I saw a cloud of white smoke rising up, like a mushroom cloud, and releasing a pungent smell, and Mu Dailin herself was even more pretty and pale, and cold sweat broke out!
It was clear that she had made a major mistake, resulting in the herbs being refined being completely burned to ashes.
It wasn't a big deal, because there had been many people who had failed in a row, and it was just the first real failure, but it was very frustrating for her.
"Hey, what a careless!" Sighing softly, Mu Dailin took out a new orchid herb and prepared to refine it again.
However, due to the large momentum caused by her failure this time, it has affected Xia Qingshuang on the side, but fortunately, Xia Qingshuang's Biling root is really difficult to refine, even if it is obviously affected, it is not a big problem, but she is a little unhappy, but she does not express her dissatisfaction.
But at the same time, Helan Hong, who was opposite Mu Dailin, seemed to have been seriously affected, and a medicinal herb he was refining was unstable, and the red tongue of fire suddenly burst out inexplicably, quickly devouring the entire medicinal herb, and then, there was a crackling and piercing cracking sound!
This immediately shocked Helan Hong, and before he could make adjustments, the next moment, he saw another mushroom cloud appear!
"It's really unlucky!" Seeing that he was implicated for no reason, Helan Hong was angry, and at the same time, his face was extremely pale, and he couldn't help but complain to express his dissatisfaction, "Mu Dailin, can you pay attention, it doesn't matter if you fail, but it caused me to suffer from the disaster of the pond fish!"
Being so accused by Helanhong, Mu Dailin was willing to swallow her anger and immediately counterattacked, "Helanhong, no one else has been affected, why are you unlucky, this can only say that you are not good at learning, besides, I didn't mean it, except for me, didn't everyone else here also fail, do you blame others like you!"
Her rebuttal was quite sharp and reasonable, which immediately made Helan Hong angry, "Who here is just a half-hung alchemist like you, and I remember that not long ago you weren't even an alchemist, you were just an apprentice! No wonder you can't even refine a mere orchid herb, it's just a waste of medicinal herbs here!"
He also ruthlessly exposed Mu Dailin's shortcomings, because as long as he saw Mu Dailin and Lin Yan together, a raging fire of jealousy would burn in his chest, and he couldn't control his desire to vent!
Although what he said was hard to hear, it was basically true, Mu Dailin was indeed only an alchemy apprentice before, and compared with Helan Hong, Jing Cong and Xia Qingshuang, her talent was indeed slightly inferior, and it was also because of the high-grade foundation building materials provided by Lin Yan, and the successful foundation building, which made her strength soar, so that she was admitted to the junior alchemist not long after returning to Fengtian City.
So in a sense, Mu Dailin is really a "half-hanging" alchemist, and both experience and ability are indeed slightly inferior to others here.
And the reason why Mrs. Biyue invited her to join in was more or less due to Lin Yan's factors, in fact, Mu Dailin herself knew this.
Under normal circumstances, the strength level of an alchemist is also linked to the level of his martial arts cultivation, and without the foundation of martial arts vitality, it is impossible to improve his alchemy ability.
Of course, this law does not constrain Lin Yan, first of all, he is not a mortal-level alchemist, but a spirit pill master, and he has rich experience in alchemy in his previous life, in addition, more importantly, he also has a powerful soul power far beyond the cultivation realm, as long as the spiritual power is enough, he can refine the elixir that reaches his soul realm.
In other words, his current soul realm has reached the third-order Xuandan realm, and it is the peak, then he is a third-order elixir master, as long as the spiritual power is sufficient, he can completely refine the third-order elixir.
Lin Yan naturally couldn't sit quietly and watch the excitement anymore at this time, and others humiliating Mu Dailin was tantamount to humiliating him.
"Helanhong, please pay attention to your words and deeds, it was Mrs. Biyue who invited Dai Lin to join this cooperation, and you are so disrespectful, are you questioning Mrs. Biyue?
