Chapter 58: Departure
Taixuan City, as the capital of Taixuan Kingdom, is not comparable to ordinary cities.
After leaving the Taixuan Academy, Chu Shaoyang walked directly towards an exchange shop and exchanged all the martial arts that could not be used on his body into gold coins.
Then he ran non-stop among the pharmacies.
This time he went to the Tianlei Mountain Range, and Chu Shaoyang planned to learn alchemy while moving forward.
Lei Potian had already promised to teach him alchemy, so he had to prepare all the elixirs.
As for the demon beast essence blood, there are many mountains along the way, and there is no shortage of demon beasts, so it is not difficult to find.
When everything was ready, Chu Shaoyang led a dragon horse. Came to the gate of Taixuan City.
"I didn't expect that I just entered the Taixuan Academy, and I was leaving again."
Glancing back at the direction of Taixuan Academy, Chu Shaoyang sighed, then turned over and got on his horse, and walked towards the mountain road in the distance.
This time to go to the Tianlei Mountains, according to the map, you need to pass through three small cities and three large mountain ranges.
The first mountain range is called the Cangmang Mountains.
According to the map, it would take three days to cross the mountain range without eating or drinking.
And everyone who enters it is to hunt demon beasts, and then take them to the nearby market to sell them in exchange for some pills.
When approaching this mountain range, Chu Shaoyang gave up riding his horse and walked on foot.
In the Cangmang Mountain Range, the demon beasts are not very powerful, but there are many of them.
In order not to be discovered, Chu Shaoyang restrained his breath and walked very cautiously.
But despite this, there will still be some monster beast groups.
And whenever this happens, he chooses to avoid it.
Of course, if he encounters a weaker demon beast, he will also kill it, and then collect the essence blood for future alchemy.
Hurrying during the day and resting at night, Chu Shaoyang spent three days like this.
Three days later, Chu Shaoyang finally walked out of the Cangmang Mountain Range and entered the first city, Xuantie City.
Xuantie City is close to the Cangmang Mountain Range, with a population of millions, and the warriors here rely on hunting the demon beasts in the Cangmang Mountain Range in exchange for pill cultivation.
After entering Xuantie City, Chu Shaoyang found a good inn to live in, and then closed the door.
"Senior, the demon beast essence blood has been almost prepared, how to refine it next."
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Chu Shaoyang asked.
"Boy, since I taught you the Nine Heavens Thunder Emperor Technique, you haven't asked the old man to have martial arts, and the old man knows that you don't want to owe too much favor."
"But now the old man is going to teach you alchemy, do you say that you owe another favor, which is greater than the martial arts."
"Uh...... Well, I admit yes. ”
Chu Shaoyang said with an embarrassed face: "But unless it is a last resort, I will not ask my seniors for martial arts exercises, because if I rely on my seniors for everything, I am afraid that I will be dependent." ”
"Martial arts are martial arts, and so is alchemy."
Chu Shaoyang said his thoughts, rather than bothering Lei Potian, it was better to be self-sufficient.
"Okay, it's good that you can have this awareness, if you don't have to do it in the future, the old man won't make a move, everything depends on you, and the flowers in the greenhouse will never grow."
"But now, I still have to tell you about the alchemy method."
Lei Potian said: "Ordinary martial artists practice alchemy, and all they practice are fire attribute exercises, and the tools they use are all Dan furnaces. ”
"But you are different, you are born with a thunder body, and your body itself is a tool, so if you want to refine the pill, you only need to control the thunder true qi."
"However, the old man's reminder is that there are no people who use thunder to refine the pill except for the old man, so it will be very difficult for you to learn."
"Senior, you only discipline me, I'm not afraid."
However, hearing this, Chu Shaoyang was very confident.
"Okay, then I'll tell you right now, the basic steps of using thunder to refine the pill are melting, decomposing, and shaping ......."
Under Lei Potian's explanation, Chu Shaoyang began to understand how to use thunder to alchemy.
According to Lei Potian, both thunder and fire have the ability to melt, but the difference is that fire is relatively mild, while thunder is very domineering even if it is a little.
Therefore, if you want to control the thunder to alchemy, you need an extraordinary ability to control it, and in addition, you can't have more than three alchemy pills at a time.
Because the use of thunder to refine the pill is to condense the thunder true qi in the body in the palm of the hand for refining.
The area of the palm is not as good as that of the Dan furnace, so it is better to take three at a time.
If you have more, you will have a high failure rate, and if you have less, it will not be cost-effective to refine, and it will be a waste of physical strength.
"Now you condense the Thunder True Qi in the palm of your hand, and learn to melt the elixir first."
When the explanation was finished, Lei Potian said.
"Isn't it very simple to melt the elixir with Thunder True Qi?"
Hearing this, Chu Shaoyang looked relaxed.
Using Lei Zhenqi to perform martial arts, he is still handy, so why is it difficult to melt an elixir.
Don't hesitate at the moment, and directly hold a purchased elixir in the palm of your hand.
But when the thunder true qi in his body was running, Chu Shaoyang was surprised to find that after these thunder true qi reached the palm of his hand, they were released, and they couldn't be kept at all.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Looking at this scene, Chu Shaoyang's face was full of puzzlement.
"Boy, didn't you say it's easy?"
Seeing Chu Shaoyang like this, Lei Potian smiled sarcastically: "If Lei can be condensed into alchemy so easily, then what else do you need to do with the Dan furnace?" ”
"Tell you, thunder is easy to release, but hard to condense!"
"Why I keep emphasizing that I am willing to teach you alchemy only when you refine at least one Thunder Spirit, it is because Thunder Spirit already has spiritual intelligence, as long as you refine it, release it if you want it to be released, and condense it if you want it to condense."
"Of course, you can also condense without Lei Ling, but relatively speaking, it is much more difficult, but if you succeed in condensing, after you refine Lei Ling in the future, your alchemy will be much easier."
"I see."
After listening to Lei Potian's narration, Chu Shaoyang finally understood.
At that moment, he once again urged the thunder true qi in his body and gathered towards the palm of his hand.
However, the result was still the same, as soon as Lei Zhenqi reached the palm of his hand, he released it.
"Rub, I don't believe in this evil!"
After several condensation failures, Chu Shaoyang also competed with this thunder true qi.
When there is one urge after another.
"Snort!"
I don't know how many times it has been condensed, Chu Shaoyang suddenly felt the heat in his palm, and when he looked at it, he found that the elixir in his palm was all burned black.
"Yes, I've found a feeling, work harder!"
Seeing this scene, before Chu Shaoyang could react, Lei Potian's appreciative voice sounded in his ears.
Hearing this, Chu Shaoyang did not have a happy expression, touched his nose and was silent, secretly recalling the feeling just now.
After a few breaths, he took out an elixir again and held it in his hand.
As soon as the thunder true qi in his body worked, Chu Shaoyang continued to condense.
