Chapter 4 Alchemy in Steel

What makes you confused may be yourself - Mu Yuchen

In the morning, Mu Yuchen, who got up early, first completed the rest of today's steelmaking body, which was prepared by Mr. Xu at breakfast, and after eating, the two of them headed for the mountain and came to a valley, the valley is not big, a stream flows down from the mountain, and there are many rocks scattered next to the stream, which is the place Xu Jingzhi chose to teach.

"From now on, I will start teaching you alchemy, Laifu has already taught you the basics, so let's start directly with alchemy! Alchemy ............. Xu Jingzhi's melodious voice echoed in the small valley.

To learn alchemy, one must understand its origins and history, which originated from the special ability "qi" discovered by ancient emperors in their quest for immortality. The emperor is the son of the dragon, the king of the world, born with some strange powers, and the new king is "the one who dominates the dragon veins and manipulates the world". When the royal family guided the "qi" to form the "dragon vein" and made the "qi" form the circulation they needed, and after a long period of accumulation of techniques, alchemy was born.

"Qi" and "dragon vein" are the basis of alchemy today, and "qi" is simply the amount of power that erupts from the top of a mountain, dives into the ground, and infiltrates the earth, or it can be said to be "a river of power flowing in the earth". The dragon vein is to understand the flow of all materials such as the world, the earth, and human beings, and to correct the flow. Understanding the entry and exit of that force and using it is alchemy.

"The purpose of alchemy, at the beginning, was to satisfy the ambition of immortality, when this ambition could not be realized, the alchemists turned alchemy in another direction, simply put, repair, at the beginning it was used in medical treatment, the repair of the human body, this aspect can be said to be the most basic and mature use of alchemy, and later our sages found that this repair ability can be applied to all things, and then on this basis, the current alchemy was born." Xu Jingzhi said, exuding a fanatical momentum on his body, "Of course, what you need to learn now is to feel the existence of "qi", if you can't feel this kind of power, you can't use it, and you can't talk about alchemy, now I will help you relax and relax, and at the pole of the dragon vein of this mountain, take you into the earth dragon vein to feel the existence of qi." ”

Xu Jingzhi drew a circle around Mu Yuchen's body, Mu Yuchen stood in the center of the circle, and Xu Jingzhi's right hand stroked the top of his head, "Gather your mind." Xu Jingzhi shouted. A burst of white light rose, Mu Yuchen felt that he was in a magnificent river, and the huge force impacted his body, after the impact, bursts of warm currents flowed in his body, and that warm feeling made him can't help but close his eyes and fall asleep .......

When he woke up, the sun was about to set, and Mu Yuchen, who opened his eyes, appeared in front of Xu Jingzhi with a strange face, "I don't know if Lu Dao said that you have good talent!" Or are you poorly talented! It was so easy to integrate your spirit into the dragon vein, but how could you fall asleep in the dragon vein~ I let you feel the qi! Brat. Looking at Mu Yuchen with a blank face, "Forget it, think about this experience and see if you can feel the existence of qi, if not, we will continue next week." O young man! Let's go back! ”

In the following days, Mu Yuchen trained hard, trying hard to feel the existence of qi. During this period, Mr. Xu gave him a lot of books, saying that they could help him calm down and feel the presence of qi. It's a pity that those who are so careless, the whining Dongdong and Mu Yuchen are completely out of line, he regretted for the first time that he didn't study liberal arts for what he didn't study, and he didn't study ancient Chinese well for what he didn't study. It's just that every evening, Mr. Xu will read books in the house for a few hours, as if they were the ones given to Mu Yuchen.

During this period, he carried out 7 more exercises to enter the dragon vein, and after the 3rd time, Mu Yuchen did not fall asleep under the warmth, but tried his best to feel the qi, but unfortunately after leaving the dragon vein, there was no longer a sense of qi, he was very anxious, almost to the point of madness, but let him give up like this, and he was unwilling.

In recent days, the lights in Xu Jingzhi's room have gone out later and later.

On this day, it has been another week since the last time he entered the dragon vein, also next to the stream, also in the center of the circle array, and also on the top of his head, "This is the last time, the ancients counted nine in the world, this time it doesn't work, you really don't have the talent for alchemy, let's go down the mountain!" Xu Jingzhi recounted expressionlessly.

Mu Yuchen felt that he had been beaten with a dull stick, dizzy, and entered the dragon vein again, feeling the river of qi, no excitement, no frustration, it was all over. Another low tide of life, at this moment, he is in the air flow and outside the air flow, without sorrow or joy. He didn't even notice that he had come out of the dragon vein, and there seemed to be something different around him, but he didn't care at all.

"Hey boy, boy." "I'll be able to go down tomorrow!" Mu Yuchen's answer was weak, and his frustration and doubts were overflowing, "Okay boy, don't you feel the surroundings" Mu Yuchen reacted, everything in front of him came alive, trees, grass, rocks, streams, all cheered, the invisible force in the air flowed, and even the back of the visual power that could not be taken care of jumped under his induction, he felt it, he succeeded, and he crossed the first hurdle of becoming alchemy.

"Alright, be quiet! What does it look like! In fact, after you enter the dragon vein for the fourth time, you should be able to feel the qi, but the relationship between the dragon vein and the qi in your spirit is too much, and you can't feel the existence of the qi in the outside world that is much lower than the qi in your spirit, the so-called one-leaf obstacle is like this, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, it's not that you can't feel it, it's that you can't feel it, it's that you can't feel it yourself, this time, you didn't absorb the air flow of the dragon vein, but let the dragon vein air flow take away too much qi in your spirit, plus the joy and sorrow, the heart is self-connected, So it's a success, I hope you can remember the lesson of this time, don't be blocked by yourself, and stop here today! We'll be busy from tomorrow! Mr. Xu's eyes were soft and he said earnestly.

After the ups and downs, the profound lesson was remembered in his heart, and he felt the existence of qi, Mu Yuchen couldn't wait to see what changes had taken place in himself, and he called out the Book of Illusions. ,

After this period of hard training, Mu Yuchen's attributes have improved a lot, after all, this is training under the condition of not having any auxiliary tools, and the training exercises are not very clever, the biggest gain is the basic ability of alchemy that has increased the dragon vein qi sense in the special ability column, and the percentage of awakening has also increased from 50% to 75%, and only 25% is short of completing the task.

"When you're done, you'll leave! When I came here, it was in early spring, and now it's almost the end of autumn, and the year is about to pass. Before going to bed, Mu Yuchen thought that he was used to life here. After all, once you get out of here, you can't grasp the future! At this time, Mu Yuchen could not predict that he would grasp the future.

"We have already talked about the essence of some alchemy, but there is little mention of the real use, so let me ask you, what is the basis of alchemy, and what things can alchemy be applied to?" Xu Jingzhi asked.

"The basic of alchemy is to understand the flow of qi that all materials in the world, the earth, and human beings have, and to guide the flow of qi. As long as this flow is understood, alchemy can be used. In other words, as long as there is something in flux, even if the object is a human or artificial object, alchemy can be used on the object. Mu Yuchen was not sure, and replied intermittently.

Hearing such an answer, Xu Jingzhi couldn't help but blow his beard and stare at him, did he speak very badly? I can't answer such a simple thing clearly, have you paid attention? Next time, I'll go down the mountain. ”

"We have already talked about the basis of the existence of alchemy, that is, the source of the power of alchemy. Now what I'm going to teach you is the basics of using alchemy, we all know that if you want to use alchemy, you have to make the qi run in the circulating dragon veins according to your wishes, so how to use the qi? As a simple example, when the army fights, it is the general who commands the soldiers, so what is it like to be an alchemist! Xu Jingzhi began to induce Mu Yuchen to take the initiative to think.

"If the dragon vein is the army, the qi is the soldier...... could it be that the qi fused with the spirit of the alchemist is the general?" Mu Yuchen was not very confident.

"You can teach." Xu Jingzhi nodded with satisfaction and stroked his beard, "Since you already know the method of channeling qi, then the last problem is the formation of a dragon vein circulation." This is another important part of the use of alchemy, the formation! The circle array is the most basic formation in alchemy, and it is also an indispensable formation, which involves the circulation and flow of the basic laws of the world, although it is still incomprehensible, but it is good to write it down, after the circle array composition is completed, you have to choose the formation pillar, the formation is that you let your own qi intercept and guide it to the direction you want it to flow, and form a dragon vein, so that the qi moves. Let's start with 3 Tsunaku! Remember the cycle, the cycle is the most important thing, otherwise the power of the dragon vein will tear you apart! Avoid! ”

In the days before the heavy snow fell, Mu Yuchen's daily task was to continue to carry out basic training, a weekly dragon vein baptism to improve spiritual power and the combination of spirit and qi, and the rest of the time was to depict and calculate the refining array to ensure that the cycle was established and the spirit was not harmed.

During this period of time, although he did not learn any specific refining, with the improvement of his proficiency, Mu Yuchen became more and more able to appreciate the mystery and philosophy contained in it, and his awakening degree gradually increased to about 80%, and the completion of the task seemed to be close at hand.
