Chapter Ninety-Seven: Alchemy (I)

Yes, I just want to learn the art of alchemy from you, Old Mo. Zhou Wu replied solemnly.

"Isn't this ......? Don't you have another inheritance? I won't tell you anything, I don't even know the medicinal materials that Tian Qingzhong took out just now, and the level of the inheritance you have received is only high or low compared to me. Mo Lao said suspiciously.

"Mo Lao. You don't know, I am indeed lucky to have some alchemy-related inheritance, but this inheritance is limited to the identification of medicinal materials, and the other real alchemy steps are all missing, and I really don't have any inheritance knowledge about how to alchemy.

In fact, when I had not joined the Thunder Fire Sect, I was not willing to be unable to alchemy with only the method of knowing medicine, so I searched for the method of alchemy many times, but it was just ...... Elder Mo, you also know that in this entire Xia Kingdom, except for the three major forces of the Thunder Fire Sect, the Worry-Free Sect, and the Qianyuan Sword Sect, there is really no place for alchemists.

Now that I have finally joined the Thunder Fire Sect, I am suffering from not being able to get involved with you, the only alchemist of the sect, and you will not teach me if I rashly ask for advice. Until today, I coincided with the meeting, and I performed in front of you with my own medicine inheritance, and I hope that Mo Lao will not be surprised. Zhou Wu had already made up the story, and at this time, he slowly said it word by word, and his emotional stability didn't seem like he was lying at all.

"Oh, I see. What you said is indeed true, except for our three major forces in this Xia Kingdom, there is really nothing else that can be called "alchemy". ”

In this Xia Kingdom, most of the inheritances other than the three major forces are not stable, and Zhou Wu's alchemy inheritance only has the method of knowing medicine, which is actually a very reasonable thing.

Mo Lao stroked his beard, thought about it, shook his head and said, "I can't teach you alchemy directly." ”

"Oh, why is that? If Mo Lao has any other needs, I can try to meet them. Zhou Wu was very curious, according to his performance just now, Mo Lao did not look like an insatiable person, on the contrary, he was very grateful to Zhou Wu for helping him solve this problem, but he didn't expect Mo Lao to reject him, what was going on?

Seeing the change in Zhou Wu's face, Mo Lao laughed twice, and then said:

"Little Brother Zhou Wu, don't worry about it first, it stands to reason that you helped me with this favor today, and I can't teach you alchemy at all. It's just that my teacher has a rule, and only by passing an assessment can I enter my teacher and learn the inheritance.

This rule has been passed down from generation to generation since the beginning of my grandfather, and I can't break this rule. But don't worry, this assessment is not too difficult, that is, to screen out some people who are not talented and not suitable for alchemy.

With Brother Zhou Wu, your talent can definitely pass, I just go through the motions, I don't want to break the rules. ”

Zhou Wu nodded when he heard this, and realized in his heart that this kind of rule is actually not difficult to understand. Although he has not really refined the pill, nor has he seen other people's alchemy, but he has seen a lot of descriptions of alchemists in books, the talent of the alchemist is particularly important, others will become a pill once, but you have to be three times or five times or even ten times eight times, naturally it is inferior, but the resources used in alchemy are particularly important, and they are very scarce.

"Oh, I see, it's fine, and I don't have to break the rules. Mo Lao told me what the content of the assessment was. Zhou Wu said calmly.

"I was worried that you would embarrass me, so it would be great if Little Brother Zhou Wu could understand. Mo Lao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The content of the assessment is actually extremely simple, it's just refining the Qi Gathering Pill. I will give you the techniques, materials, specific steps, and precautions for refining the Qi Gathering Pill, you have two chances to fail, as long as you can succeed within three times, no matter what kind of quality, as long as you succeed, you will pass the assessment. ”

Qi Gathering Pill, Zhou Wu knew that this kind of pill was not a valuable pill, but it was almost the lowest grade pill with the same value as Bigu Pill and Beast Bone Pill. When a cultivator's spiritual power is greatly damaged, he can take it for a quick recovery. However, it is said that it is fast, but the effect is extremely limited, and the effect will continue to decrease as the capacity of spiritual power in the body increases. Therefore, this elixir is really very chicken, but it is only easier to use for cultivators who practice the Qi Realm, and the effect on monks like Zhou Wu after successfully "opening the mind" is really very small.

Zhou Wu quietly saved a file as he spoke. "Then let's get started, old Mo. ”

"Okay, in fact, there is a step of identifying and selecting medicines before alchemy, this step can be omitted, I will directly give you all the medicinal materials you need. The storage ring on Mo Lao's right hand flashed, and there were seven more kinds of medicinal herbs of different shapes and an old piece of yellow paper in his hand.

"This is the explanation that records the refining method of the Qi Gathering Pill. Mo Lao handed the yellow paper to Zhou Wu, and then said: "I can give you the Seven Treasure Xuantie Alchemy Furnace of the Thunder Fire Sect, compared to the ordinary steel alchemy furnace used in the normal assessment, it can add one percent more chance of becoming a Dan out of thin air, you can rest assured, I will never embarrass you." ”

Looking at Mo Lao's sincere eyes, Zhou Wu also added a little confidence.

Although the previous competition with Tian Qingzhong was won by the "Cunyu" gate, he may not have the talent for alchemy.

Mo Lao led him into the alchemy room and left.

Alchemy is something that needs to be focused on, and it is best to do it in an environment where no one is disturbing.

Zhou Wu looked at the alchemy room.

Although this room was relatively spacious, it was very empty, except for a quaint alchemy furnace in the middle, and two or three small ordinary alchemy furnaces in the corner.

Zhou Wu picked up the yellow piece of paper in his hand and began to learn the steps of alchemy.

The first step is to choose the medicine, Mo Lao has already finished choosing for Zhou Wu, and he can already skip it directly.

The second step is to make a fire, which is not the kind of flame that ignites wood or paper, but a spiritual fire.

Turning aura into flames is not a special skill, it is just a meaningless consumption of aura, but for alchemists, this meaningless consumption has become an important part of alchemy.

Generally, after the "enlightenment", the spiritual power of the spiritual cultivator is enough to support the refining of an ordinary elixir, and Zhou Wu has opened up two acupoints when the spiritual method is far superior to others, and the spiritual power is more than enough.

"Hum. A red flame appeared underneath the central Dan furnace, burning continuously.

The consumption of this spiritual power was even smaller than Zhou Wu's estimate.
