Chapter Eighty-Three: A Man's Assessment
Lu Yu led everyone back to the counter, took out a number plate with the number three written on it, and then said to the ghost pupil Yanmo and the others:
"A few people, please wait here, the test venue is on the second floor, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. ”
Shui Moche had already prepared in his heart, and said to the ghost pupil: "Don't mess around obediently!"
The ghost pupil nodded obediently, and just wanted to put Youyue in the arms of the ghost pupil, but saw Youyue jump directly into Lu Yu's arms.
Ink and water......
Lu Yu......
Hitomi lowered her eyelids and didn't speak.
"I'm sorry. ”
As the owner of Youyue, Shui Moche was a little embarrassed. Just as he wanted to reach out and bring Youyue back, Lu Yu's voice came from his ears:
"It's okay, I'm holding it outside the exam room, so it shouldn't be a problem. ”
As he spoke, he also touched Youyue's little head. The moon in his arms dodged left and right, letting out a cry of dissatisfaction.
Ink Che: Didn't you throw ...... into your arms?
Shui Moche looked at Youyue's reaction and was a little speechless. Quickly found a step and argued: "Youyue doesn't like others to touch it. Just, I like to have someone hold it. Either give it to me. ”
Lu Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, then I'll just hold it." ”
What else can Shui Moche say? He had no choice but to withdraw his hands and replied, "Then it's troublesome Brother Yu." By the way, he also glared at Youyue.
"No trouble, let's go. ”
Shui Moche nodded, gave Yan Mo and the ghost pupil a reassuring look, explained to Yan Mo to take care of the ghost pupil, and followed Lu Yu upstairs.
When you climb to the second floor, you will find a small plaza with a wide view. On the neatly arranged fire platforms in the square, there are unified styles of alchemy furnaces. In front of them is a row of seats. It should be the place where the judges are seated.
And at the end of the alchemy platform, there is a gate that is locked by heavy chains, and I don't know what it is for. Shui Moche guessed that the place where the medicinal materials should be stored, after all, the two of them came up empty-handed.
Shui Moche stood in front of the judging table with Lu Yu, there was already some dust on it, and no one should have been here for a while.
Shui Moche roughly estimated that the alchemy platform here can probably accommodate twenty people at the same time. And now, there are only two people in the huge examination room, she and Lu Yu, which can not be described as desolate.
Well, there's a cat.
Shui Moche looked at the leisurely Youyue nestled in Lu Yu's arms, and he didn't know what it wanted to do. I just hope that when I make trouble for a while, it won't affect my own assessment. If he could, he wanted it to be quieter and the mess to clean up.
"Brother Yu, you brought the wolf into the room by yourself, you really don't blame me. Shui Moche once again mourned for Lu Yu.
Shui Moche was still praying when he heard Lu Yu's voice sound: "When Wanshou Mountain is not closed, many monks will go into the mountain to hunt or pick herbs. There is also a great demand for pills, and there are also people here. ”
Lu Yu felt that the empty and depressed examination room would lower the evaluation of the Danshi Association in Shui Moche's heart, so he opened his mouth to explain it to her.
"I know. ”
Shui Moche didn't care about the coldness in front of him. Zhou Yan said that the mountain would be closed for half a year at most. It should be about the same for another month.
Lu Yu saw that the ink was calm, and there was no disgust and discomfort, and secretly said that he was too careful.
"Wait a minute, I'll prepare you for the exam. Lu Yu said.
"I'll go with you. As soon as Lu Yu wanted to refuse, he listened to Shui Moche continue: "It's not convenient for you to hold Youyue. ”
Lu Yu thought about it and stopped refutating. There are only two people on the left and right, and no one says three or four, which is convenient. Then he said, "Okay, you can come with me." ”
Lu Yu first took the medicinal herbs with Shui Moche, and then took her to open the valve of the earth fire.
"One of the reasons for the establishment of the Alchemist Branch in Hecheng is that it is backed by Wanshou Mountain, rich in medicinal materials, and has many people coming and going.
The second is that there is a natural earth fire here, which will increase the chance of becoming a pill. The refining association on the opposite side is also for this reason. ”
One after another, while busy working, he explained the ink and wash at the same time.
"Does the quality of the fire source have a great impact on the refining weapon Cheng Dan?" asked Shui Moche.
At this time, she was holding a tray on which a lot of selected medicinal materials had been placed.
"Well, it has a certain impact. But it mainly depends on the Danshi's fire control and the control of the extraction of medicinal materials. The more ripe the fire control, the greater the chance of becoming a pill. The purer the herb extraction, the better the quality of the elixir, and the lower the side effects.
Don't underestimate this little bit of blessing. For some alchemists, it may be just a little bit of difference before they can condense into a pill. But for some masters, it's just the icing on the cake. Why didn't your master tell you this?"
"No, just tell me the steps and let me practice it myself. Shui Mo replied sincerely.
The ink is made according to the steps mentioned in the book. If it is a basic alchemy book, these common-sense knowledge will definitely be recorded. But is it Ji Dan Dao? She has only learned a tenth of this book so far.
Shui Moche remembered Lu Yu's words.
She doesn't want to be alchemist, or she is refining. It's almost all about feelings. But just like that, her alchemy has reached the royal level. Even alchemy, all of them have cultivated to the level of a high-level alchemist. I don't know whether to praise her for her luck or feel good.
The two went around in circles, returned to the examination room, and stood in front of the No. 3 Dantai.
"It's all ready, you can start alchemy, and Youyue and I are waiting for your good news outside. Lu Yu smiled and handed the small No. 3 sign to Shui Moche.
"Later, if you activate this pill, it will be closed. No one bothered you back. ”
"Good!"
Shui Moche readily agreed, and then warned Youyue, "Don't you make a mess of it?"
"Meow. ”
Yuyue screamed dissatisfiedly, as if urging her to hurry up. Shui Moche even felt that he saw the white eyes of Youyue rolling towards him.
......
Ink Che stopped being verbose and inserted the number plate into the card slot. The marble floor began to move, and stone walls began to rise on all sides, isolating the ink from the outside world.
Looking at the surrounding basalt slab walls, Shui Moche secretly sighed that the Alchemy Association was really wealthy. Basalt is not only soundproof, but also extremely strong. Even if a small-scale fryer occurs, the alchemy room next to it will not be affected. So the price of basalt can be imagined.
Shui Moche looked at the Dan furnace in front of him, which was carved from ordinary cold jade. The Dan furnace made of this material heats up slowly and is not easy to fry, so it is very suitable for novices. Especially with the earth fire, and this powerful flame, the two complement each other.
But if it is an alchemy master, it will feel that this is a waste of time.
