Chapter 21: The Alchemist (II)
"Ah, yes, Elder." Hearing this, Luo Xiaoli, who reacted, hurriedly walked into the room from the door in three steps.
However, after Luo Xiaoli stepped into Song Yu's alchemy room, the door that had just opened automatically slowly closed at this time, and I don't know if it was due to supernatural powers or because of its own spirituality.
Entering the room, Luo Xiaoli didn't dare to look more, and walked directly to the table where Song Yu was, respectfully waiting for her instructions.
"Huh?"
However, what was a little different from what was expected was that after Luo Xiaoli waited for half an hour with her head down, Song Yu was still looking at the classics in her hand, and she didn't mean to speak first.
So, when Luo Xiaoli saw this, her eyes couldn't help but quietly wander around this alchemy room.
I saw that the internal space of this alchemy room was really worthy of the installed door, although it was not as good as the hall when I first came to the alchemy hall, but it was at least half of its area, and it was antique, with many shelves, some of which were placed with books, some of which were filled with medicine bottles and boxes, and even a considerable part of them were stored with fresh herbs, which surprised Luo Xiaoli.
But after taking a closer look, Luo Xiaoli found that on these shelves, there was a layer of light curtain-like things flickering up from time to time, and it seemed that some kind of magic magic was applied to protect the things displayed on them, otherwise in such a stuffy secret room, not to mention dead things such as books and bottles, not to mention, it was medicinal herbs, even if it was an elixir spirit grass that had an effect on immortal cultivators, it might not be able to survive for a long time at this temperature.
Thinking about it, Luo Xiaoli couldn't help but shift her attention to the "culprit" in this room, all the heat emitted.
That...... It was located in the center of this room, a huge furnace in front of Song Yu!
Although it is only more than one person tall, whether it is the Taoist pattern carved on it or the fluctuations of stocks revealed by the furnace itself, Luo Xiaoli, who used to be a member of the furnace, can sense that this is definitely not an ordinary product!
Speaking of which, in fact, Luo Xiaoli and other special furnaces for refining medicine have a special name, called medicine ding, which literally means that they can only refine medicine, and they do not have functions such as refining tools.
Just as Luo Xiaoli was cautiously looking at this furnace that could barely be regarded as the same kind of furnace, and was amazed by its high quality, Song Yu, who was originally flipping through the classics, closed the book at once, and turned to look at the absent-centered little girl in front of the table.
"I remember, your name is Luo Xiaoli?" Suddenly, just as Luo Xiaoli probed and wanted to observe more clearly, Song Yu's slightly cold voice sounded from the side.
Hearing this, Luo Xiaoli, who was startled, hurriedly withdrew her gaze, and replied with some inarticulate words: "Ah...... Well, yes, my name is Luo Xiaoli. ”
Seeing this, Song Yu was neither happy nor angry, her face was expressionless, and she didn't know what she was thinking about at this time, but with such a gaze, she saw Luo Xiaoli swallowing saliva again and again, and she was a little frightened in her heart.
Although I don't know why I escaped yesterday, it's just that it was indeed the result of luck, and only I know this very well, so being alone with Song Yu like this now really makes her uncomfortable.
In this way, the two figures were in a stalemate for more than a quarter of an hour, and no one said anything halfway, Song Yu did not take the lead in asking questions, and Luo Xiaoli naturally could not take the initiative to answer, so the atmosphere at the scene was really a little weird.
"You...... Do you know what it means for me to assign you to the side of the Alchemy Hall? After a while, when Luo Xiaoli was about to be stimulated by such a depressing atmosphere, Song Yu's voice sounded just right.
"I don't know." Relieved that she could finally speak, Luo Xiaoli secretly rolled her eyes again, because Song Yu's question, she has the answer on her side, but it can't be said that I feel that the elder still doubts Xiaoli's origin, so I received it and observed it carefully.
"Coming to the Alchemy Hall is nothing more than existing as an alchemist. This may not have been the case in the previous Falling Cloud Sect, but after I took over decades ago, this is the rule, no exceptions. Therefore, if you want to stay in the Alchemy Hall, you must become an official alchemist. As if he didn't feel too surprised by Luo Xiaoli's answer, Song Yu said lightly.
However, such words fell on Luo Xiaoli's ears, which made her stunned for a moment, and then when she couldn't react, she muttered to herself: "As an alchemist...... And exists? ”
"Hmm. Although your spiritual root does not contain fire, as an alchemist of our Luoyun Sect, you can freely drive earth fire, so this is not a big problem. And most importantly, I am somewhat interested in the two spiritual roots you have. He bowed slightly, and then Song Yu continued.
"Elder, are you interested in the spiritual root on my body?" After listening, Luo Xiaoli couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, as if she couldn't understand what Song Yu meant.
"That's right, the Dan Spirit Root also has the Instrument Spirit Root, these two kinds of Spirit Roots generally do not directly exist in the body of immortal cultivators or human beings, but now that there is such a living example of you, and under the verification of the power of supernatural powers, it also shows that your origin is normal, so in view of the pursuit of these two spirit roots in the classics, I want to try to let you engage in the profession of alchemist." After speaking, before Luo Xiaoli could speak, Song Yu had already thrown the book in his hand lightly, and then flicked his fingers, which made the thing suddenly turn into a streamer and sweep towards the opposite side.
"Ah......h
Seeing this scene, Luo Xiaoli didn't need to say much to feel a pang in her heart, but before she had time to lie down or dodge, this light suddenly dissipated, revealing the original appearance of the classics, and in the girl's astonishment, it fell into her hand impartially, and it just happened to be open, revealing the content of a certain page.
"Instrument spirit root, this kind of spirit root usually does not exist directly in the body of an immortal cultivator, but the world of immortal cultivation is bizarre and endlessly mysterious, how can it be generalized. However, it should be noted that although a considerable number of immortal cultivators try to implant this special spiritual root in their bodies in order to cultivate some kind of magical power, it is undeniable that after having the spiritual root, whether it is the touch of the instrument treasures or the play in the way of refining, it is much better than in the past. Therefore, this kind of spiritual root can increase the compatibility between the immortal cultivator and the instrument treasure, and has a beneficial effect on the matter of refining the weapon, which is really a matter of conclusive evidence....... Instinctively urged, when Luo Xiaoli looked down at the book in her hand, she couldn't help but read the content recorded in it.
"Dan Ling Root, similar to the Instrument Spirit Root, generally speaking, does not directly exist in the body of an immortal cultivator, but it is just a vast world, there are no wonders, and there are strange people and strange people born naturally, it is very possible. In the same way, there are countless people who have implanted themselves for a certain purpose, or for exercises, or supernatural powers, and this is also similar to the root of the instrument. Anyone who has implanted the Dan Ling Root has considerable benefits in swallowing elixir and refining medicine, so it makes successors rush to ....... After softly reading the introduction of Dan Linggen on the other page, Luo Xiaoli couldn't help but open her beautiful eyes a little, looking incredible.
"Now, you understand why I said I wanted you to try to become an alchemist, right? Because the matter of implanting the Dan Ling Root and the Machine Spirit Root has a lot of benefits, this is not false, but it is relative, and the negative impact is also not small, although not to mention that I can't do it with my green-level cultivation, even if I can, the possibility of me making this choice is not very large. Therefore, Luo Xiaoli, I want you to try to see if the role of the Dan Ling Root and the Machine Spirit Root is really as powerful as in the classics. After all, I've been cultivating for nearly a hundred years, but it's the first time I've seen someone who has a Dan Spirit Root and a Machine Spirit Root, and he also has both of them. While Luo Xiaoli was a little stunned, Song Yu's red lips were still slightly open, and she said.
"So...... Elder, what should Xiaoli do? Although it feels extremely bad to be used as a test subject, compared to Song Yu's stubborn search for the roots, this ending is obviously much better, so Luo Xiaoli finally chose to take one step at a time and pass this level first.
"Since you want to become an alchemist, you should have a corresponding understanding of what this profession is and what the skills need to be mastered, so before I say how to do it, Luo Xiaoli, you first look through this book and see what you need to prepare before embarking on this road." Song Yu's faint voice, together with the curling green smoke from the alchemy furnace above the center of the room, echoed beside Luo Xiaoli and in her ears.
"Uh...... The elder, Xiao Li stepped back first and carefully looked at the contents of the classics. After hesitating for a moment, Luo Xiaoli closed the book and asked.
"No, there are tables and chairs for entertaining visitors near the shelves over there, you can just pick a random place to read a book, anyway, if you come to the Alchemy Hall for the first time today, I don't plan to let you start refining medicine immediately." Shaking his head slightly, Song Yu replied with such an understatement.
Such an answer directly made Luo Xiaoli's little face undetectably bitter. Staying alone in such a house to get along with Song Yu was already a great test for her, but from here, it seems that this test is just the beginning......
