Chapter Eighty-Eight: The First Hearing of Alchemy
Click!
A crisp sound sounded, and the ball of light on the gate appeared one after another, as if it had shattered.
"Come in. ”
However, at this moment, the voice of the Venerable Master Keili came again.
Although Ye Jian didn't understand what the function of this spherical lock was, he just knew that this spherical lock, which seemed to be simple, was not simple, if not, wouldn't anyone inject a burst of energy to open the big lock?
Gently pushing open the door, a purple dust mist suddenly hit his face, accompanied by a strong medicinal fragrance.
After sniffing deeply, Ye Jian suddenly felt that his thoughts were clear, and the dantian under his lower abdomen swelled slightly, as if absorbing a trace of this purple mist could help Ye Jian break through the ninth level of martial arts and reach the tenth level of martial artists.
The internal qi in his body wandered away, Ye Jian instantly came back to his senses, and immediately stepped into the room.
Card rub!
Until Ye Jian's figure completely entered the room, the door closed slowly, and the spherical lock that had been split in half before 'snapped' again, and the closure was intact.
After Ye Jian entered the room, layers of purple Dan mist diffused in the void in the room.
The size of the room is not very large, only more than 20 square meters.
And in the center of the room, a black three-legged tripod more than one person tall was lined up in front of him, the lid was tightly closed, and a trace of purple mist came out of the vent of the lid and floated into the void, obviously as if he was refining some elixir.
Danding is convex and round, and the whole body is full of carved floating slaughter, strange flowers and beasts, birds, monsters, insects and fish.
Ye Jian looked at it for a moment, and then his eyes fell on the old man in Tsing Yi who was sitting cross-legged in front of Danding.
The old man was closing his eyes at the moment, and there was a fluctuation on his body, as if sensing Ye Jian's arrival, he immediately opened his eyes, and the essence flashed in his eyes.
"Junior Ye Jian, I have seen Qingli's seniors. ”
Ye Jian had already guessed that the old man in Tsing Yi was the Venerable Master Qingli, and immediately stood behind him and greeted softly.
"It's okay, little friend, please take a seat!"
The Venerable Master Qingli did not turn around, but his sleeve robe shook, and then the white light on the cuffs flashed, and a ** appeared in front of Ye Jian's eyes.
Ye Jian gave a slight salute and immediately sat down on the ** in front of him.
"Little friend, do you know what is the purpose of the old man who came to you this time?"
As soon as Ye Jian sat down, Master Qingli in front of him asked.
"I really don't know, I still hope that the seniors will point out, if there is a need for the juniors to serve, as long as it is within the reach of the juniors, the juniors will definitely help. ”
"Haha......"
After Ye Jian said this, he directly attracted the laughter of the Venerable Master Qingli.
Immediately, Ye Jian's brows furrowed.
"Ha Luha, little friends don't have to be nervous. ”
Qing Lishang in front of him laughed a few times, and immediately smiled, "I came to you this time, one is for the fact that you helped Ziye obtain the Seven Flame Fire Lotus some time ago." ”
"That's Zi Ye's own chance, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
Ye Jian immediately replied directly.
"Little friends don't have to be too humble. ”
The Venerable Master Qingli in front of him laughed, "I have already heard Ziye say, if it weren't for your resolute choice to go to the Medicine Valley, which successfully inspired everyone, Ziye would definitely not go to the Medicine Valley,"
"If it weren't for you dragging the strange fire at the last moment, Zi Ye would never have successfully recovered it, so no matter what, your actions ahead are a great favor to Zi Ye and a great favor to me. ”
As he spoke, Master Qingli groped out a spatial ring from his arms in his withered hand and threw it at Ye Jian behind him.
"Here's some of my reward for you, you tap it. ”
"How dare you. ”
Although Ye Jian said this, his mind directly separated a trace of infiltration into the space ring, and after a while, Ye Jian came back to his senses, and a trace of joy faintly appeared on his face.
"Coupled with the hundred lower-grade spirit stones given by Master Qingli, my current spirit stones have actually reached three hundred and twenty. ”
Thinking of this, a touch of joy gradually appeared on Ye Jian's face.
"Thank you for your kindness. ”
Master Qingli just nodded faintly.
"Senior, you just said one thing, I don't know what the second is?"
Ye Jian suddenly asked curiously.
"How did you just get into this room? ”
Contrary to Ye Jian's expectations, Master Qingli did not directly answer Ye Jian's question, but came to a rhetorical question.
"I opened the big lock on the door and came in. ”
Vaguely understanding something, Ye Jian immediately frowned and said.
"Then do you know that the lock on the door of the road cannot be opened unless you are a special person?"
The Venerable Master then asked.
This time, Ye Jian's frowning brows were even deeper.
"That spherical lock is more of a soul test stone than a lock. ”
"Soul Stone?"
Ye Jian was stunned, he was no stranger to the Soul Test Stone, because the children on the Tianwu Continent had been used by their parents to probe their cultivation talent since they were born.
To put it simply, a soul test stone is a strange stone that can test the strength of a person's soul and what color of light blooms according to the strength of a person's soul.
It's just that Ye Jian, the soul test stone, has seen it before, and it's not like the big lock on the door, "Is it a unique soul test stone?"
"Looks like you've guessed it. Master Qingli nodded slightly, "That's right, this soul test stone on the door is used to specifically test the qualifications of alchemists. ”
Bang~!
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt falling into Ye Jian's heart and exploding.
"A person with the qualifications to become an alchemist will naturally be able to open this door, but if there is no person with alchemy qualifications, no matter how high his cultivation is, he will not be able to shake the soul test stone in the slightest. ”
The Venerable Master's voice came from the front.
"Boy, would you like to become an alchemist?"
Ye Jian was like being devoured by thunder, his body staggered directly, and then he gasped heavily.
His eyes wandered, his eyes flickered, and he had an expression of wanting to be but a little embarrassed.
"Huh?"
Master Qingli noticed Ye Jian's hesitation and sighed deeply.
Indeed, this is indeed a difficult choice, because anyone who can become an alchemist, in addition to the fire attribute and wood attribute in his body, his soul is naturally stronger than ordinary people.
The stronger the soul power, the higher the alchemy talent, but correspondingly, the higher the martial arts talent.
It is very difficult to let a person give up martial arts and learn Dan Dao, because once you choose Dan Dao, it will inevitably greatly hinder the development of martial arts, so although there is a position of alchemist in this world, the number of alchemists is not much, only a huge Zhao country, and there are only a few alchemists.
At the beginning, Qingli Venerable Master also made a choice between martial arts and Dan for a long time, and finally made up his mind.
Qingli was not busy, still with his back to Ye Jian, as if he was going to give Zu Ye Jian time for him to think.
When Ye Jian was thinking about it, the thoughts in his head flew up, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Senior, can you tell me if alchemy is and depletion of divine souls?"
"Huh?"
Master Qingli frowned at first, but then burst into laughter: "Little friend, who told you that alchemy depletes your soul?"
"Don't all the people outside say that?"
Ye Jian pursed his lips and muttered softly.
"Hehehe," seemed to be amused by Ye Jian's words just now, Qingli Venerable Master chuckled rarely, shook his head, and said, "Little friend, if this way of alchemy consumes the soul, then I have been alchemy for decades, wouldn't I have died a long time ago?"
Ye Jian was speechless by this question, his tongue was dumbfounded, and he was speechless for a while.
"Hmph! What do the ignorant guys out there know!"
The Venerable Master's voice suddenly sank, and he said slowly: "The so-called alchemist is nothing more than spending time refining the pill, which consumes the spirit, so he grows slowly in the martial arts. ”
"So, the alchemist is only consuming energy during the alchemy process, and there is no conflict with the martial arts?"
Ye Jian heard the sound outside the strings.
"That's true, but it's delusional for a person to want to specialize in martial arts after alchemy. Let's not talk about whether this will work, just say that the energy consumed during alchemy, even if it is a genius whose soul power is twice that of ordinary people, it is also very difficult. ”
The Venerable Master Qingli said with emotion.
However, when Ye Jian heard this, his heart moved slightly.
"A genius with twice the soul power is very difficult, which means that an alchemist with twice the soul power of ordinary people can still do this. And my soul power is ten times that of ordinary people, so it shouldn't be difficult to do this. ”
In an instant, Ye Jian figured everything out, and the corners of his mouth slowly outlined a smile.
"However, although the alchemist can't cultivate the Dan Dao and the Martial Dao at the same time, due to the fact that we consume spiritual power all year round, in terms of spiritual power, we will increase to several times that of ordinary martial artists. ”
The Venerable Master Qingli was afraid of scaring Ye Jian away, so he immediately said the benefits of the alchemist.
Ye Jian restrained the joy in his heart, and his face was full of ancient wells.
Seeing Ye Jian like this, the Venerable Master Qingli sighed lightly, and immediately took out a booklet from his bosom and threw it at Ye Jian in the back.
"This is fire control, if you want to understand it, it's a pity to practice the above fire control technique. ”
After a pause, the Venerable Master Qingli added, "You still have time to think about it, so you don't need to be in a hurry. After all, if you want to become an alchemist, you must cultivate to reach the Condensing Truth Realm. ”
"Write it down in the younger generation. ”
Ye Jian nodded reverently, and directly stuffed the booklet in his hand into the space ring.
At the same time, he had already made up his mind in his heart that when his cultivation reached the Condensing Truth Realm, he must try alchemy.
His soul power is ten times that of ordinary people, and it would be a pity if he didn't make good use of it.
After hesitating for a long time, the Venerable Master finally showed a hint of firmness on his old face, took out a crystal glass bottle from his arms, and looked at the black flames jumping in the bottle.
"Perhaps, in the dark, you are already destined to become an alchemist. ”
With a flick of his big hand, the glass bottle came out of his hand, and a graceful arc was drawn in the air, and it fell gently into Ye Jian's hand after the most reluctance.
"It's ......"
Seeing clearly what was in the bottle, Rao is Ye Jian's concentration was also a little surprised.
"This thing is destined for you, you take it first. ”
The Venerable Master Qingli said lightly, "If you decide to become an alchemist, try to swallow this fire, and if you finally decide that you don't have a relationship with the Dan Dao, then return this fire to me." ”
"I'm tired, you can quit first. ”
