Chapter 68: Alchemy and Prosperity
It seems that the legendary Senior Brother Zhuge is biased towards the Department of Medicine. Lu Qiming looked at the various arrangements here, and thought of it in his heart.
The garden that can be demolished outside has been replaced by a small medicine field, and the medicinal herbs are planted in a neat row, and the cultivation technique is professional.
Entering the hall, it is not difficult to find that Zhuge Ke has no intention of entertaining guests here at all - all the original facilities in the room have been emptied, replaced by a set of large-scale devices that almost fill the entire space, and the activated formation light is circulating. Transparent tubes made of hedron are interspersed, in which various colored liquids extracted from medicinal herbs flow and tumble endlessly.
Lu Qiming glanced at it, roughly identified several ingredients, and immediately understood why no one dared to live outside this courtyard - the things inside had a great possibility of exploding, and the poisonous lethality that was mixed with it would be so great that Xiao Zhou Tian would have to peel off his skin......
Is it really good to play this kind of experiment in the place where you live every day? Lu Qiming sighed. He began to sincerely consider whether he needed to set up a protective formation in his room, or should it be safer to move to the lecturer's separate courtyard?
He shook his head slightly and walked towards his room.
Push open the door.
It is a house made of wood and stone. Tables, cabinets, chairs, etc., are all simple in shape, the most basic shapes, without superfluous decorations, but each one is made according to the characteristics of different woods, making people feel comfortable and fitting. The material of the lamp is a pale cyan jade, although it is not used to gather spirits, but it looks cold and peaceful.
Desks and bookcases appear empty.
The windows are open. Standing in the room and looking out, overlooking the four study buildings shaded by trees on the mountainside, people come and go, and the mountain breeze blows, and there is fresh air of grass and trees.
Everything seems to be so fresh and normal, but with Lu Qiming's extraordinary eyesight, it is not difficult to find it - up to the curtains, coasters, pillows, quilts, and under the futons...... The patterns and stitches on it are exactly the same as the style of the entire yard!
After comparing the ordinary painting style he had visited in the afternoon, Lu Qiming's heart suddenly swelled with deep doubts - this ...... Is it really the standard configuration of the Chinese military system?
Lu Qiming stood motionless by the door for a long time, stretched out his hand to pull the door shut again, resolutely turned around, and walked towards the room in the opposite direction - he must have gone wrong!
A moment later, after seeing the room on the other side, where "there is no most exaggerated, only more exaggerated", Lu Qiming came back silently.
He looked at the fine and absolutely average stitches on the cloth with mixed feelings, and for the first time he felt the urge to run.
At this moment, he suddenly understood Lu Mingyue's luck very well in the afternoon, for example, he wanted to confirm a major problem now-
That Senior Brother Zhuge is really not a woman dressed as a man?!
......
"Chengshi, Zhu Fuyu, Green Cocoon Iron ......"
Calm down again. Lu Qiming pulled out a chair and sat down, picked up his pen and began to make a list.
After his strength increased dramatically, the Nian Ci Knife seemed thin to him. But if it is just to increase the weight and return to the furnace to refine, it will be too much of a fuss, so Lu Qiming is ready to improve it by the way.
This world is full of spiritual energy, and people's cultivation is generally very high, but the development progress in terms of alchemy, formation, refining tools, and so on is much worse than the world in Lu Qiming's previous life;
For example, Lu Qiming's Nianci Knife, the materials used in refining are very good, but the finished product is only a fifth-order spiritual weapon-although it is precious enough in Central Continent, but in Lu Qiming's eyes, at least eighty percent of the original value of the material has not been fully utilized. If Lu Qiming is given enough conditions, he can even improve the quality of the Nian Ci Dao to the category of "magic weapons" - of course, the materials needed are too valuable, so don't think about it for the time being......
Thinking of this, Lu Qiming paused his pen and recalled the comparison between refining "Wenqingshi" with Dean Zhang in the "Grotto on the Wall" some time ago.
Due to the limitations of Wen Qingshi's characteristics, he really couldn't do it as fast as Dean Zhang with pure alchemy techniques at that time. But then he thought of a way to combine traditional alchemy with Dan Dao, and the effect was surprisingly good. So Lu Qiming was thinking, about a similar way can also be applied to refining weapons?
Now this world is very magical, many elixirs and spiritual fruits, in Lu Qiming's opinion, have actually exceeded the definition of "plants", and many ores and metals can be taken as "medicinal materials...... These were things he could have hardly imagined in the world before him.
In that case, why not try something new?
Lu Qiming recalled the characteristics of some spiritual plants, and wrote a few names in small characters on the other side of the paper: "Jinshi Zizhi, bone bamboo, green grass......"
After a pause, he added the sentence "more information is needed, and it needs to be tested beforehand". Thinking about the medical debate in the "grotto on the wall", a thought flashed in Lu Qiming's heart - maybe he should ask Dean Zhang for advice.
After writing the part of "Nian Ci Dao", Lu Qiming continued to consider the materials commonly used in the formation and the talisman seal. After all, you can't use your own blood every time, right? He's not lazy enough to do that...... Besides, there was an old saying in his previous life called "The Instrument Dao Formation Dao is not separated", what kind of refining weapon can you talk about without the formation?
In addition, there is a gift he is going to send to Lin Youzhi, which is also a small object based on the formation. He had taken the idea she had talked about and some of the existing teleportation arrays and communication arrays, and now he had a rough model. But whether it can succeed still needs to be scrutinized and practiced......
Thinking of this, Lu Qiming wrote a long list of names of spiritual materials on the list.
That's right! There is also the fact that the ruins of the ancient battlefield mentioned by Zhou Youcheng are about to be opened.
The ruins of the ancient battlefield are very peculiar, and the environment is completely different from the outside world, but it is not a secret realm. There are great dangers and great opportunities, and it is an excellent place to cultivate. Lu Qiming had already sent the news back to the clan, and he himself had additional preparations—so there were lots and lots of materials......
Thinking of the special nature of the ruins, Lu Qiming was a little skeptical that the Feng Clan's breathing technique would be ineffective as well, and if he could collect all the medicinal materials for refining the Breathing Pill, it would be much safer. It's a pity that the medicinal materials needed for the Pill are really rare in Zhongzhou...... Let's make that a note first.
When it comes to the Convergence Pill, Lu Qiming can't help but think of the little girl who calls herself "Yu Wenxuan" again.
Lu Qiming didn't think too much about it when he first met the Daoist Teleportation Array, but after that, her body shape, surname, and speaking habits ...... Various. She didn't deliberately hide it, how could Lu Qiming not guess?
She was not picky, and Lu Qiming was happy to pretend to be confused. It's just—if it's just to prevent him from encountering unsolvable danger again, there's really no need for someone like her to come with him personally, right?
......
The transition from evening to night is so fast that it seems like only a few blinks of an eye.
Lu Qiming lit the green jade lamp on the table, re-read the pages that had just been written in the clear light, couldn't help sighing, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.
Lack of money!
The reward for the first place in the Martial Academy is a drop in the bucket compared to the value of these materials, and he can't even afford to buy a strain of the main medicine of the Xi Dan.
Lu Qiming had no choice but to pull out another piece of paper and continue to write; this time it was the medicinal materials needed for some low-level pills -- considering that it took the shortest time, he could only use the common method of "alchemy to get rich." In the past, it was so convenient for him to cooperate with Lin Youzhi, but this time he could only do it himself...... Or do you want to find Yao Chengxiang, or do you just take it to exchange materials with the Martial Academy?
However, this is still a matter for the future, and the most important thing at the moment is that he must find a place to test the grade of an alchemist as soon as possible.
In order to avoid the loss of resources for the resale of spiritual materials, the Martial Arts Academy has such a rule - both students and teachers must have proof every time they exchange a large number of medicinal materials. There are many types of proofs, and the "alchemist grade" is the most convenient and fast.
Lu Qiming decided now that it would be tomorrow.
At this time, a sharp and prolonged voice came from a distance, and Lu Qiming turned around and looked out the window-
In the deep blue night sky, a dazzling bright yellow light suddenly rose from somewhere in the mountain, and then bloomed like fireworks, but it remained high for a long time.
Lu Qiming's eyebrows raised slightly-someone called for help?
