Chapter Twenty-Five: The Great Master

Outside the window, in the small courtyard, an old man stood quietly. His back was a little rickety, but in Zhang Shen's sight, the back was extremely tall and straight, and it seemed to cover the heavens and the earth.

Zhang Shen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his spiritual power was infused into it. Looking at the past, the old man was obviously standing there, but he couldn't sense it at all, like a ball of air, and it seemed that he was one with this heaven and earth.

Recalling the gentle voice that sounded in his ears when he first woke up, Zhang Shen had a realization in his heart.

He walked out of the room and towards the old man.

"Thank you seniors for saving your life." Zhang Shen bowed deeply to the old man.

Huh~~ The old man waved his hand, not caring at all: "The little guy doesn't need to be polite, the old man can save you, and it is also a fate." ”

"The great grace of saving lives, how dare you or forget. In the next Zhang Sen, may I ask the old gentleman's name and surname? ”

"Hehe, the name." The old man turned around, and a trace of nostalgia crossed his eyes, "It's been a long time since anyone mentioned it, and I forgot about the old man." You can call me the old head. ”

The old man surnamed Gu's deep eyes that seemed to contain the truth of heaven and earth made Zhang Shen stunned.

"Sit down, you've been in bed for days, and you need to recuperate."

The old man surnamed Gu said, and with a wave of his hand, the ground surged, turning mud into stone, and two stone benches and a stone table appeared in an instant.

Surname Gu ...... Alchemy...... Heaven and man are one...... Zhang Shen had a flash of inspiration in his mind, could it be......

Zhang Shen sat down, and between his words, he was a little more respectful. The basic etiquette for dealing with the elderly, especially the elders and juniors who have mastered spiritual knowledge, is a must.

Who the Great Grandmaster was, he immediately understood, and he smiled helplessly: "I didn't expect that hundreds of years have passed, and there are still people who remember me, a bad old man." Don't be formal, little one, you're making the old man uncomfortable. ”

"Gu senior, do you know what happened after the kid?" Seeing the old man say this, Zhang Shen was no longer restrained, and after a few words, he asked the question he was most concerned about.

"The old man doesn't know either."

The Grand Master shook his head, an expression of helplessness. According to his account, when he arrived at the ancestral temple, Zhang Shen was already in a coma, and he just took him to the mountain. After a period of time, Zhang Shen was also in a coma, and often showed a very painful and hideous expression, shouting and screaming, and jumping very lively.

It has been a month since Zhang Shen was in a coma!

If it weren't for the middle great master collecting the qi of heaven and earth to refine the pill spiritual liquid to supplement the basic needs of his body, Zhang Shen was afraid that he would have to go to bed for ten days and half a month before he had the ability to get out of bed.

"At the beginning, your spiritual sense fluctuated very strongly, but it was getting weaker and weaker, and the old man kept using his spiritual sense to stimulate him and didn't respond, and he thought you couldn't hold on, but I didn't expect it, hehe, little guy, yes, very good."

To be able to get a comment of "very good" from the Great Grandmaster, if you let Elder Yu or other alchemists know, you will be jealous to death.

Zhang Shen thought about it and didn't have a clue, so he told the things before and after the Dan meeting, and asked the great grandmaster to help him refer to it, hoping to see some problems with his superb insight.

The five elements are unbalanced, the golden fire is prevalent, the anger is easy, and the black smoke is ...... The Grand Master pondered for a moment and slowly spoke, "The old man doesn't have a clue, but what you said reminds me of something. ”

"Little one, if the old man is not mistaken, you should be learning alchemy."

Zhang Shen nodded.

"Well, the old man sees that your attainments in alchemy are not shallow, and you should know the forbidden method of human body refining."

Zhang Shen nodded again.

"The scene you just described reminded the old man of his small talk with Hohenheim."

"The refining of the human body is a forbidden method, not to mention the huge price to pay, even if the refining is successful, the 'person' who creates zào through this method also has huge flaws."

"One of the most obvious things is the extreme negativity."

"Pride, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony, lust, what Hohenheim calls the 'seven sins,' are the negative forces that exist in every human being."

"And the 'people' who create zào through alchemy are often swallowed up by one or several extreme negative emotions, and their minds are chaotic. In a way, you can't call it a 'human' at all. ”

"That black figure must have something to do with the 'rage' of the seven sins. Little one, if you want to get to the bottom of it, you can head to the neighboring country of Amerstolis. ”

"Alas, after hundreds of years, this day has come." The Grand Master picked up the teacup that appeared at some point, took a sip lightly, and looked a little emotional, "Although I stopped Hohenheim back then, and I still had a good relationship later, but at that time, the old man felt that the concept of alchemy, with its development and growth, would sooner or later embark on the road to the outside world...... It's still here after all. ”

"Little one, there is an old man's selfishness in directing you to Amistolis, I hope you don't be surprised."

Zhang Shen smiled casually: "Senior, you think too much. Even if it weren't for this, the boy would have to go to Amistolis. ”

"My alchemy has reached a bottleneck, Amestories is the origin of alchemy, no matter what, I have to go to explore the origin of alchemy."

The Great Grandmaster looked admiring and sighed with some emotion: "When the old man was your age, he had only been in contact with alchemy for a long time, hehe, he didn't understand anything, and he often made jokes. I don't mind if the old man asks, what do you think of alchemy, little one? ”

Zhang Shen's heart moved, he didn't answer rashly, and pondered.

After a moment, Zhang Shen organized the language in his mind and said slowly: "The key to alchemy lies in the resonance of the human spirit and the free energy flow of heaven and earth, that is, the qi of heaven and earth, and the second is the understanding of all things in the world. This is the exact opposite of alchemy. Alchemy focuses first on the analysis and understanding of all things in heaven and earth, and the strength and sensitivity of spiritual power are not so important. ”

"That's why the kid learns alchemy."

"I hope to make up for the shortcomings of alchemy with the strengths of alchemy, and create my own path."

"During this period of time, I have also achieved certain results."

"Dragon vein alchemy, please also ask the great master to evaluate it."

With this kind of good opportunity, Zhang Shen would be too sorry for himself if he didn't grasp it well. Regarding alchemy alchemy, he is still far from reaching the level where he can be highly summarized in a few words, so it is better to take the opportunity to show his "Dragon Vein Alchemy" and let the great master comment and comment, and he can also avoid a lot of detours.

Oh~~ For the first time, Great Grandmaster Gujing Bubo's eyes flashed with curiosity: "Dragon Vein Alchemy? Let the old man see it. ”

Because of the initial recovery from a serious illness, Zhang Shen did not plan to carry out large-scale refining, and after a few turns of thought, he chose a refining that was very small but "fine" enough.

Zhang Shen began to draw the refining array on the stone table.

The circle that symbolizes the endless cycle of heaven and earth;

A hexagon that symbolizes the six supreme mysteries of the world;

a triangle that symbolizes the power of the earth;

A simple or complex rune pattern.

At the same time as drawing and refining the array, one after another spiritual power poured out from Zhang Shenmei's heart and disappeared into the void.

Waves of rich "earth" qi converged towards this side, almost reaching the embodied Cheng dù. At this time, if someone walks into this area, they will immediately feel extremely heavy, as if they have stepped into a muddy place, and as if the gravity of this place has increased several times out of thin air, making it difficult for people to move an inch.

Dragon vein alchemy, since this concept was initially formed, has only appeared once, that is, before Zhang Shen destroyed the huge stone wall polluted by black gas, which was also its virgin battle.

But, strictly speaking, that one use, is not complete!

The dragon vein alchemy conceived by Zhang Shen is not simply to attach the qi of heaven and earth to the surface of the alchemy product, so that it has the capital to fight against extraordinary forces.

If that's all there is to it, spend some money, there are plenty of better options on the Big Will list!

If it is really just for that purpose, spending so much thought, it is completely just picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelons, which is too ridiculous.

This time, Zhang Shen wants to use the real dragon vein alchemy he conceived in his mind!

After the refining array was completed, Zhang Shen paused the movements in his hand, his mind was concentrated, and more spiritual power poured out, guiding one after another the "earth" qi that was so rich that it was only one step away from manifestation to enter the refining array.

After entering the formation, the qi of "earth" was under Zhang Shen's control, and it was transformed little by little and attached to the alchemy runes drawn.

It was as if a drop of mercury fell into the abrasive that was confined to the boundary, and after more than a dozen breaths, the original form of these "earth" qi was all gone, and it was transformed into a character pattern, which was an alchemical text.

After these alchemy characters composed of "earth" qi are formed, they slowly float above the alchemy characters drawn by Zhang Shen on the table, and if you look closely, you can still see faint traces of air distortion.

The second layer of alchemical characters took shape, and Zhang Shen began to fine-tune them.

In alchemy, the circulation of the qi of heaven and earth is very important, and the same is true of dragon vein alchemy.

It didn't take much time to fine-tune, and soon, the "earth" qi that was forcibly dragged over by Zhang Shen got in touch with the surrounding heaven and earth aura again, and at the same time, it also formed a simple cycle of its own independence, and a steady stream of "earth" qi flowed from the surrounding void to this side, filling the gap.

Next, the final and most important step.

The dragon vein is refined, and it is activated!!

A silver thunderbolt stained with a hint of earthy yellow suddenly burst out, half of it disappeared into the void, and half of it disappeared into the stone table.

The Grand Master took every reaction into his eyes intently.

In his vision, in this space, the earth qi suddenly surged, converging in a strange way into the refining array drawn by Zhang Shen on the stone table.

A bulge appears on the tabletop, from which regular fluctuations emanate and form a wonderful resonance with the world.

After a few blinks, the fluctuations disappeared, and the aura of the surrounding heaven and earth returned to calm.

When I looked closely, a rectangular rock appeared on the stone table.

The rock is generally pale green, and the surface has snake-like lines, which makes it look beautiful.

The Great Grandmaster stared at the stone for a moment, his white eyebrows twitched, and he had a guess in his heart.

"Little guy, don't sell it, let the old man see the results of your dragon vein alchemy."

Zhang Shen smiled, picked up the ophiolite and knocked it lightly on the edge of the stone table.

The "shell" cracked, and a diamond-shaped transparent stone rolled out of it.

"Sure enough, something was hidden." The Grand Master stroked his long beard, a little surprised, "But it's King Kong, tsk, little guy, you really surprised the old man." ”
