Volume 1: The Boy Comes from the Mountains Chapter 6 The Alchemist

Alchemist, also known as alchemist, is an incomparably noble profession in the Yunyan Continent, whether it is the secular world where mortals are located, the rich and noble families of princes and generals, or the cultivators who are high and have different realms, all of them are extremely respected by alchemists.

The reason for this is that no matter whether it is a mortal person, a human cultivator, or a genus of the demon beast, on the way to growth and promotion, there is no need for an alchemist to refine various auxiliary pills, and mortals can use the pills to achieve the purpose of prolonging life, beautifying and beautifying the skin. Aside from the bottleneck in cultivation and the need to use high-grade pills to help break through the realm, not to mention, often floating in the rivers and lakes, how can there be anyone who does not suffer from the knife?

Of course, the alchemist is not something that anyone can do if they want to, unlike ordinary martial artists, qi practitioners and other professions, the alchemist needs to have superhuman affinity and control over the energy of heaven and earth, and even more needs super spiritual power, needs to have a full understanding of the tens of millions of medicinal herbs in the world and the bodies of humans and demon beasts, needs to read thousands of books, needs to be immersed in this way since childhood, and goes through a boring and long cultivation process in order to refine various pills.

In addition, it does not mean that those who have talent and great perseverance can become alchemists through hard work, the growth of an alchemist requires a huge amount of resources, without a continuous supply of medicinal herbs, without a suitable Dan furnace, without exquisite alchemy cheats or elder guidance, alchemists are categorically impossible to achieve overnight and come out of thin air.

Therefore, most alchemists are cultivated from famous families or super families, because all of the above can only be provided by powerful sects and families. Historically, there have been countless people with outstanding alchemy talents, and in the end, there are many people who cannot grow into a true alchemist without resource support or other reasons.

Lian Chengyu sat at the table, and when he saw that Chenfeng had completely returned to reality, he said with a smile: "Feng'er, you are still young, and now practicing martial arts and forging your body is really against natural growth, and the old man is worried that it will backfire." In this way, before the age of eight, that is, there are still three years, and in these three years, you only need to get up early every day to practice the Heaven Splitting Fist and attract the Hongmeng breath into the body. In the past three years until you are eight years old, if you don't refine your body or practice qi, you will concentrate on learning to refine medicine, okay?"

Chenfeng didn't speak, Lian Chengyu had explained so clearly, there was no need for him to ask anything, so he nodded heavily, and his slightly trembling hands betrayed that he was not as calm as he seemed.

"Okay!" Lian Chengyu was satisfied with Chenfeng's performance, and nodded heavily. Seeing that Chenfeng was looking at him hopefully, he would no longer sell Guanzi, and would become the main point of the alchemist, concise and to the point.

"The alchemist gets started, there are three steps. First, read thousands of books in the world, travel thousands of miles in the world, and taste a hundred herbs; this is the basis, the foundation is unstable, that is, there is no root duckweed, even if the talent is high, there is a great opportunity in the future, the achievement is limited after all.

"Second, know the eight veins and twelve meridians, point one hundred and eight points, and cut a thousand apes; The original intention of the alchemist is to save mortals from the fire and water of birth, old age, sickness and death, and to solve the various bottlenecks and obstacles encountered by cultivators on the path of cultivation, so they need to have a thorough understanding and cognition of the human body, otherwise it is just talk on paper, and wanting to become a high-level alchemist will only be an empty talk. ”

"Third, draw the power of heaven and earth, receive the fire of thousands of years, and refine Wandan. This is the cover. On the premise that the above two steps are completed, the spiritual fire of heaven and earth is brought into the body, endure the boredom of repeating alchemy, refine countless pills, and seek a way of alchemy that suits you from practice. ”

Lian Chengyu spoke seriously, the head was the way, and the morning breeze was even more dizzy to hear, at this moment, in the courtyard of the thatched house, Lian Chengyu opened the door to a new world for him.

Although Lian Chengyu spoke in an easy-to-understand manner, the unfounded morning breeze was in the clouds, but he still nodded very cooperatively, and looked at Lian Chengyu with unblinking eyes, as if he was looking forward to the following.

"Alchemists are scarce, in addition to qualifications and resources, there is also one point, that is, the road to becoming an alchemist is extremely boring, and the initial alchemy failure rate is extremely high, but those who are impetuous, it is very likely that their lives will be in vain. Lian Chengyu looked at the morning breeze and said in a deep voice, quite a knock.

Instead of speaking, Morrowind turned to look at the endless mountain peaks outside the thatched hut.

Although Morrowind was only five years old, he remembered very early, he didn't know who his parents were, why he was in this place, and he didn't even know who Lian Chengyu was. All this, he desperately wanted to know, but he was stubborn and never asked Lian Chengyu, which was also something that Lian Chengyu had been wondering and worrying about for a long time.

Lian Chengyu's often on the lips of the sentence "cultivators, cultivation and heart cultivation" is by no means groundless, throughout the ages, SLR has great achievements, all of them have great perseverance, great perseverance. Those who suffer from gains and losses, and give up halfway, will eventually be empty.

Morrowind had memories as early as when he was a baby, and for several years, he had only Lian Chengyu and the little black dog by his side. It is precisely this environment that makes Morrowind extremely stubborn and sensitive.

Looking at Chenfeng's movements, a trace of bitterness flashed in Lian Chengyu's eyes, and when he saw Chenfeng turn his head, he barely showed a smiling expression, and jokingly said, "What's the matter, I'm afraid?"

Ignoring Lian Chengyu's agitation, Chenfeng said categorically: "I'll learn!"

"Hahaha, okay. Lian Chengyu laughed heartily, which meant that the conspiracy had succeeded, but it was more of a relief from the heart, and of course, there was also a hidden guilt and helplessness in the bottom of his heart.

Chenfeng went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes, and Lian Chengyu sat in the courtyard still looking thoughtful.

The sun has completely risen, light and warmth are sprinkled on the world, everyone in the Yunyan Continent has started a day's work in order to survive or better survive, and the morning breeze in the deep mountains has opened a new chapter in life from this day.

------

When Chenfeng finished cleaning up and came to the courtyard, Lian Chengyu raised his head and said to Chenfeng: "Feng'er, I'll go out, don't run around." ”

Morrowind nodded, he knew that not to run around meant not to take a step out of this yard. In the past few years, he has long been accustomed to this kind of life, accustomed to living in this space within a radius of ten feet in his lifetime.

"Xiao Hei, I'm going to become an alchemist, and I'm going to become a powerful monk in the future, when the time comes, let's go and see the world outside the mountain together, okay?" Leaning on the haystack in the courtyard basking in the sun, the morning breeze said to Xiao Hei who was lying on top of him, and many words that could not be given to Lian Chengyu could only be told to the little black dog.

"Whew...", in response to the morning wind, was the same snoring as ever. The little black dog has become more and more greedy and sleepy in recent days. Morrowind didn't know what was going on.

"What is the outside world like, are my parents and home also outside?" Morrowind thought as he gradually fell asleep.

The red cloud carving in the corner of the yard, although it was rescued by Lian Chengyu, was still wild. It has been paying attention to this little person since Chenfeng got up early and Tu Na boxing, until after Lian Chengyu left, Chenfeng and Xiao Hei fell asleep, it gradually lay down, and its eyes changed from the previous fierce vigilance to more and more obvious pain and disappointment.

Obviously, this red cloud eagle already has its own consciousness, although it is not as good as the little black dog to understand the conversation between Chenfeng and Lian Chengyu, but it knows that it has failed to cross the tribulation, knows that it was rescued by Lian Chengyu, and knows what such a failure tastes like.

At this moment, when curled up in the corner, licking the wound alone, there was a humanized blankness and helplessness in its eyes. It didn't know why it was staying here, and even Chengyu didn't restrict its freedom, it could leave freely. As a proud darling of the sky, how could it be under the roof of humans. But the devil sent God, and it chose to stay here, quietly, without any other thoughts.

"Bang bang..."With a few sounds, the sound of Lian Chengyu beating came from the yard, "Hahaha, this trip is not in vain, there is a small gain, a small harvest, hahaha." ”

Chenfeng turned over and got up, looking at the pile of beast corpses piled up around Lian Chengyu, a little stunned, and the little black dog was still sleepy at this time, and a fierce man rushed to Lian Chengyu's side, looking at the prey piled up like a hill, his eyes glowed green. Also a little excited is the red cloud eagle dormant in the corner. It hadn't eaten for a long time, and its whole body was full of injuries from the inside out, so it instinctively staggered when it saw food at the moment.

Lian Chengyu did not consider the reaction of the one person, one dog and one eagle present. He said confidently: "Today is lucky, I went out for a walk and found a lot of people who died on the trees, hahaha, old man, I am really a Jiren with God's help." ”

Lian Chengyu fiddled with the prey on the ground, like a few treasures, rubbed his hands and said to the morning breeze with a smile: "This is a nine-tailed snake, the meat is fine, but unfortunately it is only the three-tailed stage now, it's a pity......;

Chenfeng nodded, although Lian Chengyu seemed nonsensical, but in such a flamboyant tongue, Chenfeng had already memorized many types of beasts and their functions, even including the unique attack techniques and weaknesses of these beasts, etc., Lian Chengyu would occasionally say a thing or two.

Nearly two hours later, with the help of Lian Chengyu, Morrowind packed up these prey. Some trivial and small stumps were directly given to the red cloud eagle, and all the prey fur was soaked in water and put into the sun to dry, and these furs were used to make clothes and mattresses, which could not be wasted.

"Feng'er, starting tomorrow, I will teach you the theoretical knowledge of the alchemist in the morning, and take you to the mountains in the afternoon to have a look and understand the growth and effectiveness of the herbs. After cleaning up, Lian Chengyu suddenly said to Chenfeng.

"Okay!" Chenfeng nodded subconsciously, although he was calm on the surface, his heart was suddenly turbulent.

Not only will he officially learn to refine medicine from tomorrow, but more importantly, he will simply go to the mountains to see the sentence in the back, which is also something that Chenfeng thinks about in the evening, and it is also something that he never dreamed of before today.

After a long time, calming down the excitement in his heart, Chenfeng asked nervously, "Uncle Lian, do you need anything to prepare to become an alchemist?"

"No, you just need to do your best, you don't have to force the rest, and the old man will take care of the rest. Lian Chengyu said a few light and domineering, as if he was promising an extremely ordinary thing.

"Although it is difficult for an alchemist to achieve, he must also have self-confidence. There are three years left, and the alchemy I told you before is exactly three stages, one stage per year, and there is enough time. Lian Chengyu explained in hindsight.

"Well, good. Lian Chengyu nodded obediently, calm on the surface, but still excited in his heart. The shock and shock I felt during this day was almost numb.

"I can finally officially cultivate!"

Morrowind said to himself in his heart, although he couldn't explain why he was so persistent and yearning for cultivation, as if there was a voice in the dark that kept urging him, and as if this urgent, indescribable feeling was innate.

At this moment, he received Lian Chengyu's affirmative reply, and a stone hanging in Chenfeng's heart finally hit the ground.

"Alchemist, everything starts with the alchemist, everything starts from this moment!"
