Chapter 28: Learning Alchemy
The Alchemy Palace branch occupies a huge area, and it took Yu Hao and Xia Ken almost half an hour to walk around the first floor.
Xia Ken stood beside Yu Hao with a smile and said, "Brother Yu, what do you think of our Alchemy Palace Branch?"
Yu Hao said sincerely: "Amazing." ”
These three short words had already vividly expressed the shock and admiration in his heart, and Xia Ken's face flashed a hint of triumph, not at all like a hundred-year-old person.
Yu Hao followed Xia Ken to a room on the second floor, and when he entered the room, Yu Hao's heart was greatly surprised, there were several huge bookshelves in this room, and they were all full of books.
Some of these collections are old, some are newer, and even some are legendary bamboo slips, a method of recording words that were obsolete thousands of years ago.
His eyes swept over the bookshelf, and his heart suddenly filled with bitterness, it really deserves to be a super power, there are so many books in one branch alone, but there are so many books, how can he read them.
Just when he was secretly worried, he saw Xia Ken come to the bookshelf, he thought for a moment, and finally took out a few of them, and said: "Brother Yu, these books can be called the most valuable books in the entire room, mainly about the core introduction that alchemists must master, and some Dan recipes, you can understand them first." ”
Yu Hao took it and nodded gratefully to him, if he wasn't here, he really didn't know how to start.
Yu Hao opened the first book, starting from the first side, which described the uses of various pills and how to distinguish them.
It turns out that there are many types of pills, which are divided into different grades according to different kinds, and each pill has a different effect.
There are not only the Zengyuan Pill and the Centennial Pill that can make people improve their cultivation, but also the True Yuan Pill and Tianyuan Pill that make people go beyond the limit and break the barriers, and even the Purifying Pill that allows people to change their physique and the Rejuvenation Pill that brings the dead back to life.......
All kinds of pills and all kinds of magical anti-heaven effects shocked Yu Hao and secretly amazed.
"No wonder Master Hua said that I used to read the seven-handed Dan Fang in the stall book, compared to the detailed records in the Dan Fang here, it is really true!"
Seeing Yu Hao flipping through the books with relish, Xia Ken slowly withdrew and instructed others not to disturb.
When Yu Hao left this room half a day later, someone immediately notified Xia Ken.
"Brother Yu, have you finished reading them all?" Xia Ken met Yu Hao and asked.
"Yes, I have read almost the few books that Brother Xia picked, which is really eye-opening and beneficial!" Yu Hao nodded slightly, and said with emotion, he did learn a lot about alchemy from it.
The two walked out of the room side by side, Xia Ken sighed lightly, and said, "Brother Yu, I didn't expect you to finish reading those books so quickly, I thought you would need at least three or four days, I would have picked a few more for you if I knew it." ”
Yu Hao waved his hand and said, "Brother Xia, I understand your kindness, in fact, I am already satisfied with today's harvest." ”
"It doesn't matter, you are a guest invited by the teacher, although you can read the books in the library, although the few books you read are important, there is still a lot of knowledge that needs to be supplemented and expanded by other books. ”
Xia Ken took him to a courtyard, ordered the preparation of wine and food, and said: "If Brother Yu has nothing else to do, stay here for a few days, you rest for a day, and starting tomorrow, I will take you to the medicine garden to have a look." ”
Yu Hao was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, Brother Xia." ”
Shaken nodded slightly, and left.
......
In the Alchemy Palace Branch, the Medicine Garden was undoubtedly one of the most important places, and there were actually dozens of guards from the True Yuan Realm stationed here.
When they arrived at the Medicine Garden on the second day, they were immediately greeted by a guard from the True Yuan Realm.
This person's gaze turned on their body, and he immediately said in a condensed voice: "Master Xia Dan, please stay." ”
Xia Ken flicked his wrist and threw the token given by Master Hua over.
The guard took it, took a closer look, and his face suddenly showed an extremely respectful look, he bowed deeply, and said, "It turned out to be the order of the elder, two please." ”
He half-bowed, gave way of the way, and respectfully invited them in.
Although Xia Ken is a third-grade alchemist and is a personal disciple of Master Hua, he also needs Master Hua's token to enter the medicine garden, which shows the importance of this medicine garden.
In such an important place, Master Hua was willing to let himself come in, who had just known him for a day, which shows Master Hua's love for himself, thinking of this, Yu Hao has more respect for Master Hua in his heart.
When Yu Hao came to the medicine garden, the scenery he saw made his eyes shine. The medicine garden is weaving, the embankment is paved, the warblers are crying, the butterflies are busy, and the scenery is very gorgeous, which is very different from what he thought before.
Xia Ken beside him let out a long sigh and said, "The last time I came to the medicine garden was twenty years ago, twenty years have passed, and there seems to be no change here, as if it was just a blink of an eye, it is really like an arrow." ”
Many of the rare plants in the medicine garden are often hundreds of years or even thousands of years old, and for these plants, decades are almost a blink of an eye.
Hearing Xia Ken's emotion, the corners of Yu Hao's mouth twitched, he was not born twenty years ago!
Yu Hao's eyes turned, and there were more than ten people walking cautiously in the medicine garden. According to Xia Ken, most of these people were first-grade alchemists between the ages of twenty and fifty, who were responsible for taking care of these rare herbs in the garden. The number of places to come to the medicine garden is limited, and it is often the first time to get in.
Their entry immediately attracted everyone's attention, and several of the older men greeted Shaken. When these people knew that Xia Ken and the others came to the medicine garden on the order of Master Hua and brought Yu Hao here to learn about the flowers and herbs, they all looked surprised and puzzled as to why Master Hua treated the young man in front of them preferentially, but no one dared to ask questions.
Under the leadership of Xia Ken, Yu Hao began to study in the medicine garden. Xia Ken introduced some medicinal materials for Yu Hao to write down, and Yu Hao compared the records in the collection room and identified dozens of Chinese medicinal materials, which surprised Xia Ken and praised him again and again for not forgetting.
.......
Yu Hao had been in the Alchemy Palace branch for three or four days, and all of his time was focused on learning alchemy, so he either learned about medicinal herbs in the medicine garden or spent his days in the library.
The various rare medicinal materials in the medicine garden opened his eyes, and he learned a lot of theoretical content about how to cultivate medicinal materials and what should be paid attention to for each rare medicine, and under Xia Ken's special guidance, he even cultivated medicinal materials by himself.
Master Hua also came to observe him from time to time, and after several secret observations, Master Hua was in a good mood and was very satisfied with Yu Hao, his plan was not in vain, and this young man began to be really interested in alchemy.
After a whole week like this, Yu Hao finally memorized countless knowledge about medicinal materials by rote. The more he knew, the more he discovered the breadth and profundity of this knowledge of alchemy, which was hardly under the path of martial arts in comparison.
