Chapter 53: First Glimpse of Dan Dao
When Ye Xiu woke up again, it was noon the next day, and at this time he was lying on the animal skin seat from last night, and there was still the body fragrance on Hua Qianwu's body, but Hua Qianwu's shadow was gone.
Running his divine sense to probe the surroundings, only to find that there was a strange mark on his chest, it was a small flower that could not be named, Ye Xiu tried his best methods, but he was always unable to remove it from his body, and finally simply gave up, anyway, at present, he did not find that this little flower would be unfavorable to him.
Got up and tidied up his clothes, Ye Xiu was planning to leave Baihualou just like that, the strength of Hua Qianwu was really terrifying, this level of strength, Ye Xiu had only felt it on the woman who took Yue Ling'er in Xinghai Lake that day, Ye Xiu even suspected that it was the legendary Dao Venerable powerhouse, so he didn't want to be involved with someone of this strength so soon.
It's just that Ye Xiu just came down from the top floor, and an old man who looked like a shopkeeper bowed to Ye Xiu and said:
"Childe, hello! At the order of the landlord, the little old man has been waiting for a long time. ”
Ye Xiu naturally knew that the landlord he was talking about was Hua Qianwu, but he didn't expect that the beautiful woman would send someone to pass a message to him, so he asked the old man with some curiosity:
"Oh, I wonder what the owner of the flower house asked you to wait for me?"
But I saw that the old man took out a space ring from his sleeve and handed it to Ye Xiudao:
"The landlord asked me to give this ring to Childe, saying that Childe was not strong enough to drink last night, and he was drunk early, so that Childe would practice his drinking power on weekdays, and then drink freely when they meet next time. ”
After Ye Xiu took the ring and found that it was full of dozens of jars of Baihua brew, Ye Xiu couldn't help but sigh that this flower Qianwu was really a wonderful person.
After returning to the Wuwei Art Workshop, he saw Li Gan and Zhao Xiang'er waiting at the door of the studio, and the two of them came forward to greet Ye Xiu enthusiastically after seeing him, especially Zhao Xiang'er looked left and right at Ye Xiu, as if she wanted to see something different from Ye Xiu's body, but unfortunately she didn't have any cultivation herself, plus Ye Xiu cast the Hidden Star Decision on herself, and she didn't see anything for a long time.
And Li Gan didn't think so, in his opinion, Ye Xiu's attainments in painting were definitely at the level of a grandmaster, but he had only seen it in his life, and it was not a strange thing that he could be valued by Hua Qianwu.
After Ye Xiu invited the two of them into the workshop, he took out some spiritual tea to entertain the two, these spiritual teas were all obtained by Ye Xiu from the storage ring of the Taishang Elder of the Xiao family in Fengdu City, and they were also extremely rare spiritual teas in the world of cultivating immortals.
Li Gan is also a person who knows the goods, and he tasted that this tea contained an extremely strong wood aura, at this time, although he couldn't feel a trace of aura from Ye Xiu's body with his cultivation, he also guessed that Ye Xiu was not an ordinary person, but who didn't have a little secret of his own, didn't he hide his identity from Ye Xiu!
At this time, after two days of communication, the three of them have become friends who have nothing to talk about, Ye Xiu remembered the purpose of this trip, and asked tentatively:
"Li Gan, Xiang'er, have you heard that this Liuyun Country has had anything related to pills recently?"
Before Li Gan could answer, Xiang'er replied first:
"I haven't heard of anything related to pills recently, but there is only one of them in this Liuyun City. ”
Hearing Xiang'er's words, Ye Xiu couldn't help but be taken aback, you must know that because the effect of the pill on the cultivator is huge, the alchemist has become a hot profession in the cultivation world, and the person who can be called the master of the Dan Dao is at least an alchemist who can refine the Xuan-level pill, such a Dan master is very rare even in the Heavenly Dao Sect, I didn't expect that there would be one in this small Liuyun City, how could this not surprise Ye Xiu.
It seemed that seeing Ye Xiu, who had always been calm, showed a surprised expression, Xiang'er was also a little proud, she deliberately tilted her head to show a victorious expression, and secretly looked at Ye Xiu as if she was waiting for Ye Xiu to beg herself to speak, Ye Xiu looked at her expression, and she couldn't guess her little bit of caution, so she deliberately poured her a cup of spiritual tea and said:
"Miss Xiang'er can say it now, right?"
Xiang'er looked at the fragrant spiritual tea in front of her, and then nodded with satisfaction:
"Well, seeing that you have a good attitude, I'll tell you reluctantly..."
It turned out that there was really a Dan Dao master in this Liuyun City, although this master could only refine two or three Xuan-level low-grade pills, but he was already a great figure.
This person's name is Murong Bo, is a casual cultivator in the early days of the Taoist master realm, he once found a Dan book from a ruins when he was wandering out in his early years, which recorded a lot of ancient alchemy techniques and skills, this person is also very intelligent, even with his own continuous groping without a teacher, and later others in their old age, they know that due to the limitations of qualifications, there is no hope of breaking through, that is, they came to this secular world of Liuyun Kingdom to establish a Dan Hall, specializing in teaching the way of alchemy, and it is not a waste of his life's learning, and because when he taught the Dan Dao, all of them are not dedicated to their hearts, knowing everything, so they are very admired by the people around him, is the most prestigious Dan Dao master in this thousands of miles.
In fact, long ago, Ye Xiu was very interested in this way of alchemy, and he had studied a lot of related basic knowledge by himself, but he had been suffering from no one to teach him, so he had never really learned alchemy, and now when he heard that there was such an opportunity, he couldn't help but move the idea of learning the way of alchemy...
Early the next morning, Ye Xiu came to a spacious courtyard alone, there was a plaque hanging at the door of the courtyard, with the four big characters of Murong Dantang written on it, at this time, just standing at the gate of the courtyard, he could smell a trace of danxiang wafting out of this courtyard.
There is an unknown big tree in the courtyard, this tree grows extremely luxuriantly, with seven or eight people hugging each other, at this time there is a white-haired old man sitting cross-legged under the tree, as if he is lecturing dozens of young people who look like students, Ye Xiu walked in and listened carefully, and the other party turned out to be the basic knowledge of Dan Dao:
The so-called alchemy is a process of putting a variety of spiritual materials into the Dan furnace, and then through various alchemy techniques, with the help of various flames between heaven and earth, these spiritual materials are fused into Dan according to a certain proportion.
It is not an easy thing to master the Dan Dao, and the Dan Master needs to master the characteristics of various spiritual materials, the use of the Dan furnace, various flames, skilled alchemy techniques, and the Dan Fang at the same time.
Among them, each element is extremely crucial, first of all, the characteristics of various heaven and earth spiritual materials, such as the melting temperature of this metallic material, whether the spiritual materials like yin or yang, these all determine the techniques to be used in alchemy.
As for the Dan furnace, it is not as simple as a simple alchemy furnace, the Dan furnace is actually a special Dao instrument specially used for alchemy, so it is the same as the Dao instrument, there are grades, and the higher the level of the Dan furnace, the higher the quality and Dan rate of the refined pills.
As for the flame, it is more involved, and there are many flames that can be used for alchemy, the most common is the earth fire, and the road fire, the earth fire is the flame from the ground, although the performance of this flame is good in all aspects, but it will be subject to geographical restrictions, which is why many Dan masters have built their Dan houses in some remote places with strong fire.
The advantage of this flame is that it is easier to control, but there are many disadvantages, such as the great consumption of the alchemist's spiritual power, the easy to be limited by the alchemist's cultivation, and the fact that only cultivators who practice fire Dao can use it...
In addition to these two extremely common flames, there are also these rarer flames, namely heaven and earth spiritual fire and beast fire, beast fire is easier to understand refers to the flame released by demon beasts, many big demons in the transformation realm can even make their own alchemy, and heaven and earth spiritual fire is the rarest of all these flames, also known as alien fire, which is condensed by the fire aura between heaven and earth, and it is rumored that only one person in the entire White Tiger Domain has heaven and earth spiritual fire.
Finally, there are alchemy techniques and formulas, which have been summarized by successive generations of Dan masters after countless attempts, and are used to record the proportion of spiritual materials required for alchemy, the recipes for fire and other information, most of which have been handed down from ancient times, so they are extremely precious.
According to the different schools of alchemy, there are many schools of alchemy, alchemy techniques are often extremely difficult to master, and they require strong spiritual power to perform, so often the spiritual power of the Dan master is much higher than that of ordinary cultivators, and at the same time, the more alchemy techniques a Dan master masters, the higher the success rate of the pill he refines, so if the objective situation is thrown out, the indicators that describe the level of a Dan master are spiritual power and Dan Fa.
After listening to the old man's explanation, Ye Xiu also had a more systematic understanding of alchemy, and he also benefited a lot from it, he had heard Li Gan say before that Murong Bo taught Dan Dao without asking for anything in return, and would regularly teach people who came to listen to his Dan Dao every month free of charge, and now looking at the white-haired and white-robed old man in front of him, Ye Xiu also secretly admired this person in his heart.
Just as Ye Xiu was thinking about it, Murong Bo's kind voice came again:
"Okay, that's all for today's lesson, now is the question time, if you have any questions about Dan Dao, you can ask them now. ”
As soon as his words fell, several young people stood up at the same time and asked questions, and Murong Bo patiently answered them one by one.
Many of these questions were also things that Ye Xiu didn't understand when he read alchemy-related books on weekdays, and at this time, he also had a sense of surprise after listening to Murong Bo's words.
Soon the morning time passed, after Murong Bo announced the disbandment, everyone also got up and left one after another, Ye Xiu also got up and prepared to leave, but suddenly felt a slight mental fluctuation behind him, and the action that was about to take a step forward was involuntarily.
Ye Xiu immediately understood that someone was testing himself, and sure enough, when he turned around, he saw Murong Bo looking at him with a smile, and when he saw Ye Xiu turn around, he smiled kindly:
The old man was really right, this newcomer didn't know what to call him, he had such a strong mental power at a young age. ”
As soon as his words came out, Ye Xiu understood that although the Hidden Star Decision he cast could hide his aura, he couldn't hide his spiritual fluctuations, but even so, he could inadvertently judge that his spiritual power was superior, which also showed that the methods of this alchemist were really weird, and it was impossible to guard against it.
But fortunately, Ye Xiu saw that the other party was testing him, and there was no malicious intent, so he turned around and saluted:
"In Xia Ye Xiu, I have to listen to Master Murong's preaching today, and I have been taught!"
