On the other hand, Yang Xiaotian nodded and smiled indifferently at first, and only after seeing Yi Yi go away, his face gradually became gloomy.

"Good little uncle, I will let you understand that the furnace guard order is not so easy to get. Yang Xiaotian's eyes were cold, and his expression was completely devoid of his previous temperament.

However, if you think about it carefully, you won't feel that the different attitudes of the two people are strange.

The power of the Dan Pavilion in the inner courtyard is not very great, but it is in an extremely important position, not to mention the position of the pavilion master, and the furnace keeper is only under the status of the three ancestors. In the past generations, the pavilion master has been selected from the chief disciple, and the furnace keeper is the most qualified among the disciples, and he has to pass the test of the previous generation of furnace keepers.

In terms of qualifications, Yang Xiaotian's qualifications are among the best among the many disciples of the Dan Pavilion, and if it comes to alchemy, it is not too much to call him the second among the disciples as the identity of the Nine Pattern Dan Master.

He has always been extremely demanding of himself, and at the same time he has won a good reputation, but he has always lacked the approval of a previous generation of furnace keepers.

However, who would have thought that he would kill a little uncle halfway, and he would also bear the title of furnace keeper. Not to mention that the previous efforts were in vain, even the disciples who were respectful to him on weekdays would follow the wind and look down on him.

"Little Dog Luo, let's see. ”

After a moment's effort, Yang Xiaotian had already calculated several ways to deal with it in his heart, and after a small curse, he got up and walked away.

A moment ago, Luo Chen followed Huo Qizi for a long time, and finally came to a certain room in the bottom house of the South Pavilion.

The wood of this room is dark, the wooden door is carved with a three-legged and two-eared square tripod, a few puffs of green smoke are faintly emitted from the window lattice, and the word ancestral shrine is written on the door beam.

After seeing the ancestral hall, Luo Chen also understood what kind of place this was, quietly took half a step back, and bowed down to stand aside.

At this time, Huo Qizi's expression was very solemn, and after tidying up and down his clothes, he closed his eyes and waited for thirty breaths before raising his hand and gently pushing open the door of the house.

There is a portrait of a medicine farmer hanging on the front wall of the house, and below it are seven rows of spiritual seats, and in front of it are an incense burner, two plates of tribute, and three grass cattails.

Huo Qizi stepped forward slowly, bowed down and recited a few words silently, bowed respectfully three times, and ignited three sticks of sandalwood in the incense burner.

After this series of actions, Huo Qizi slowly turned his head, his expression was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help nodding secretly, with a little more relief in his eyes.

If he only valued the identity of the furnace keeper before, then now he values Luo Chen even more.

"Don't be stunned, come in. Huo Qizi greeted, took out three more sandalwood sticks from the incense burner, handed them forward and said, "From now on, you are the seventy-sixth generation of the furnace keeper." ”

The matter has come to this point, Luo Chen has nothing to shirk, he calmly saluted the incense, bowed down and waited quietly after bowing three times.

Then, Huo Qizi waved his hand and took out a black genealogy, solemnly wrote the words "Luo Chen, the seventy-sixth generation of furnace keepers" on a blank page, and quickly took a drop of blood from Luo Chen's middle finger.

The next moment, the blood droplets and the handwriting seeped into each other, and the handwriting gradually turned dark red, and then a white light flashed on the hanging image and drilled into the line of words.

At the same time, Luo Chen felt an inexplicable tremor all over his body, a strange tingling feeling of being hit by the current, and a faint warmth.

After seeing this scene, Huo Qizi also took a deep breath one after another, and said, "Okay, when you arrive at the Great Danshi, I will correct your name again." ”

Luo Chen raised his hand to hug him and said sincerely: "Disciple Luo Chen, I have seen my uncle." ”

"Good, good, good"

Huo Qizi said three good words in a row again, and when he grinned, Douda's eyes were squeezed out, and then he said: "You go down first, and the relevant matters can be arranged after the meeting." ”

"Thank you, uncle, the disciple will retire first. After Luo Chen bowed down and withdrew from the ancestral hall, he didn't have a good place to go for a while, so he walked around twice, which can be regarded as having a further understanding of this place.

Soon, a gray-robed disciple came over in small steps, and after expressing his intention, he led him to a residence in the corner of the third floor of the South Pavilion.

The room was of a good size, with only a few simple layouts, a bed, a table and three chairs, an oil lamp, an hourglass, and a few rays of sunlight shining in at noon with the windows opening to the south.

There are two potted plants on the windowsill, one is a phoenix and the other is a cactus.

Although the anchovy bamboo is unusually green, it is not very eye-catching, but the cactus on the side is golden yellow in the sun, which makes people unconsciously pay more attention to their eyes, and they can vaguely smell a fragrance when they get closer.

However, Luo Chen was not interested in flower bonsai, and after a few glances, he fell asleep.

......

Since entering the Dan Pavilion, the days have been peaceful.

Luo Chen seems to be more suitable for this kind of dull day, no one is bothering in his ears, and he doesn't have to worry about life and death.

After waking up early in the morning, find a corner where no one is or climb to the top of the building, hold a pharmacological codex and read quietly in a little sunlight until noon.

After lunch, he will play a few sets of beast king boxing to stretch his muscles and bones, by the way to drive away the fatigue of a full stomach, and when he is free in the afternoon, he will sit quietly on the mountainside, more to understand the martial arts, and will turn out the great wilderness tactics to confirm one by one. At night, there is less sense of urgency in life and death, and more lazy sleepiness, and the nerves naturally relax, and after absorbing the aura for a few hours, they fall asleep again.

Maybe the previous thoughts collapsed too tightly, leaving a lot of confusion that I didn't quite understand. However, in the days that followed, it was slowly unraveled.

For example, the second form of the Beast King Fist, the Lion King shook the world, for example, the follow-up of the shadow step had some enlightenment, and vaguely grasped the method of breaking through Xiaocheng, and for another example, he was familiar with the spiritual power in the seven meridians and eight veins.

Of course, during these days, Luo Chen spent most of his time flipping through the pharmacological codex, and after reading through the ancient books, he was barely a Dan disciple.

It is estimated that more than half a month has passed, and on the seventh day of the fifth month, he gradually mastered the operation of the eighteen methods of fire control.

In the next two days, he observed the alchemy techniques of several fellow disciples, and inquired about a few pills that were relatively easy to refine in the copper pill.

After thinking about it again, he decided to open the furnace for alchemy, and chose the extremely common elixir, the Broken Bone Pill.

The Bone Breaking Pill was the first pill he swallowed, and it was also the first pill that almost killed him, and it would be the first pill he refined. After everything was ready, Luo Chen first went to the pharmacy in the West Pavilion, received three copies of related herbs, and then went to the North Pavilion to find a spare alchemy room.

The herbs of the copper pill are very common, and most of them can be obtained for free, and the herbs required to refine the silver pill or the golden pill are basically exchanged for merit points.

What is a merit point, the role of this thing in the inner courtyard can be quite large, and it can be exchanged for many things that are helpful for repair, such as spiritual weapons, elixirs, exercises, pills, etc. There is a special merit hall in the inner courtyard, and some tasks are issued on weekdays, most of which are mainly based on the affairs of the hospital, and there will be a few tasks with rewards from various ethnic groups in Qingzhou.

The seven peaks of Qingwu came from this, the two pavilions and three courtyards each accounted for a peak, and the remaining two peaks each had two halls, the law enforcement hall and the merit hall.

Let's not talk about it, let's talk about the situation in the alchemy room.

The height and width of the alchemy room are one zhang each, the four walls are inlaid with dragon's eye orbs, the ground is poured with black iron, and there are two formations engraved on it, the center is a three-legged and two-eared Danding, and the bottom of the tripod is equipped with three ground fire mouths.

"It took more than half a month of hard work, but don't waste it for the first time. ”

Luo Chen clenched his fists and secretly breathed a sigh of relief to himself, and then crossed his knees to adjust his state to the best.

The basic techniques of alchemy can be divided into seven steps: inducing the earth fire, heating the pill, melting herbs, refining the medicine, condensing pills, pregnancy pills, and fixing the color.

Among them, the refining properties are the most difficult, and the purity of the medicinal properties is also one of the levels of judging the alchemist.

Many Little Dan Masters do not choose the Bone Breaking Pill when refining the pill, because it requires as many as nine kinds of herbs, and the number of herbs alone is enough to make beginners daunted.

After that, there is a complicated process of refining medicinal properties, and the refining of nine medicinal herbs is extremely difficult for beginners.

In the process of refining, there is no room for slackness, and the medicinal properties of different kinds of herbs are different, and the corresponding refining techniques will also change slightly, which will consume a lot of energy.

Guiding the earth fire and heating the Dan furnace, these two steps are the basic skills necessary for alchemy, but Luo Chen spent half an hour on this.

For the eighteen methods of fire control, he has already mastered three techniques, but the theoretical understanding and the actual operation are completely different things.

Only by infiltrating the earth fire with one's own spiritual power, and then combining the techniques and mantras, can the flames change. Control the ground fire into the Dan furnace, warm the furnace wall, and heat the furnace eye. These two simple sentences made Luo Chen realize once again what practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

Then, melting herbs is another headache.

Nine may not seem like a big number, but if you focus on doing one thing nine times, and there can be no mistakes in between, it's really not a comfortable thing.

Fortunately, Luo Chen safely melted the herbs and refined the medicinal properties safely.

Seeing the formation of the pill in the furnace, Luo Chen felt a little relieved in his heart, and said to himself: Haha, it's not that difficult, master, I am really an all-rounder.

"Bang"

The little cool thought in his heart did not pass, and his hand shook unconsciously a little, and then the fire in the Dan furnace intensified, and the pill turned into charred black powder in an instant.

"I ...... Grass, it's a joke with me...."

The choking smell of burnt paste hit his face, and Luo Chen couldn't help but feel the urge to scold his mother in his heart, but he forcibly endured it.

He steadied himself, cleaned the hearth, and began to repeat his boring repetition again.

After the two alchemy failures, Luo Chen completely realized the wise saying "What is the difficulty of everything at the beginning, the process is difficult, and the end is even more difficult".

The first time was because he was in a mood swing and the fire was not under control, and the second time was because there was a noise outside the door, which disturbed his thoughts.

However, it should be fortunate that he was not discouraged, and persevered until the third time, and finally refined the first batch of two patterns into pills.
