Chapter Seventy-One: Beginner Alchemy

"Refining the second-grade elixir, hehe, it seems that this old man wants to test me, anyway, I really want to see what is so difficult about this alchemy!" After muttering a few words on the spot, Jiang Chen also returned to his room.

Since he had just broken through to the third-order spirit, his realm was not stable, and the vortex of fire attribute spiritual power in his body did not tend to be full, so Jiang Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, pinched a seal in the Heavenly Fire Evil God Record with both hands, and began to cultivate.

As soon as Margo returned to the room, he began to laugh a few times, and muttered to himself with a slight meaning, "This stinky boy still wants to fight with me, hmph, if you don't suffer a little, I will be your teacher in vain." Then he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

.........

A ray of morning light pierced the darkness of the night, and the fiery red sun also broke free from the fetters of the white clouds, revealing half a smiling face on the edge of the sky, sprinkling golden light on the earth, giving new vitality to all things.

At this moment, there was a sharp knock on the door outside the courtyard, and Margot opened the door, yawned, stretched, and complained, "This dead girl, it's really urgent, she came so early, old man, I haven't slept enough!"

But complaining is complaining, or I have to open the door quickly, the little girl's difficulty, Margo has long understood it.

Opening the gate of the courtyard, Wu Yingying ran in, looked around the courtyard left and right, but did not find the figure of the person she was looking for, so she turned her head and asked, "Teacher, where is Jiang Chen? ”

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Chen walked out of the side room, smiled at Wu Yingying twice, and said hello to Margo, "Good morning, Teacher Margo, can we start learning the art of alchemy now?"

Wu Yingying's eyes widened, staring at Jiang Chen and asking curiously, "Do you want to follow us to learn alchemy?" I heard my father say before, isn't your spiritual power attribute a thunder attribute? When will a thunder attribute martial artist also be an alchemist?"

"Haha, Jiang Chen is a twin spirit body, with dual attributes of thunder and fire, so naturally you can learn alchemy, okay, you all find a place to sit down, and I will teach you alchemy as a teacher right away." Patting Wu Yingying's little head, Margo said with a smile.

Knowing that Jiang Chen was a twin spirit body, Wu Yingying felt a little surprised, and said in her heart, "This kid's talent is so good!" After sitting on a stone chair, ready to listen to Margo's lecture, Jiang Chen also sat next to her.

Seeing that the two of them were seated, Margo put away her previous unruly appearance, became positive, wiped the ring in her hand, and took a sip of red medicine, and stood in front of him with a bang.

"The art of alchemy, let me start with the medicine tripod to tell you, the medicine tripod used in alchemy can be regarded as a rare kind of spiritual weapon, and my medicine tripod, called Huoyun Ding, belongs to the low-level spiritual weapon of the Xuan Rank. ”

"To evaluate the quality of a medicine tripod, mainly depends on its material and the formation engraved on it, if the material is not good or the formation is too low-level, then the alchemist is likely to have a situation of exploding when refining high-level pills. ”

As she spoke, Margo lifted the top cover of the medicine pod in front of her, and motioned for Jiang Chen and the others to step forward to look at its internal structure.

Walking in front of this big ding, Wu Yingying touched here for a while, and touched there for a while, looking curious.

"Teacher, what are those words engraved in the medicine tripod that don't look like words, what are the things that don't look like graphics? Also, what is the purpose of the small hole outside the medicine tripod?" After a while, Wu Yingying pointed to the medicine tripod and asked.

"If my guess is correct, the thing engraved in the tripod should be the formation that Mr. Margo said before, the function is to improve the stability of the tripod and improve the quality of the flame, and the small hole outside the medicine tripod should be the place where the martial artist inputs spiritual power and converts it into flames inside the tripod, right?" Jiang Chen looked at Margo and replied tentatively.

After hearing this, Margo glanced at Jiang Chen appreciatively and exclaimed, "Yes, it's completely correct, and the son can be taught." ”

Wu Yingying on the side pursed her lips slightly, and glanced at Jiang Chen, looking a little unconvinced, as if she was very reluctant to be pressed by Jiang Chen in front of Margo.

"Okay, I'll talk about this for Yao Ding as a teacher first, and then I'll tell you about the most critical section of alchemy, fire control!"

With a light voice, Margo continued, "The so-called fire control, to put it bluntly, is the mixed application of spiritual power and soul, in the process of alchemy, the alchemist must use soul power to perceive the changes in the tripod, and control the intensity of the flame. ”

"There are no tricks in this, let alone a quick fix, it completely depends on the experience accumulated by the alchemist. Speaking of this, Margo also deliberately glanced at Jiang Chen, as if these words were specifically addressed to him.

.........

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed quietly, and Master Margo also instilled the refining principles, methods, and a lot of knowledge of the elixir to Jiang Chen and the others, which made Wu Yingying cry bitter and couldn't digest it.

In this way, Jiang Chen followed Margo to learn all kinds of knowledge about alchemy during the day, meditated and practiced in the room at night, and occasionally reviewed the knowledge he learned during the day, and his life was very regular.

In the early morning of the eighth day, Jiang Chen and Wu Yingying were still sitting in the courtyard as usual, ready to listen to the lecture.

However, Margo took out two medicine pods, put them in front of the two of them, and said with a wicked smile, "Old man, I have already taught you all the knowledge I know, today, let's fight once and try to refine a grade of pill spirit disciple pill." ”

Wu Yingying pursed her small mouth, and said with a bitter face, "Teacher, you are obviously embarrassed, you have taught so many things in the past seven days, for a rookie like us, where can we digest it, let alone practice that peak elixir spirit disciple pill." ”

"Haha, girl, you can't refine it, but someone just boasted about Haikou before, okay, the amount of knowledge these days is indeed huge, you can go back first, and then come to the old man after digesting it." Margo said with a smile to Wu Yingying.

"Okay, then I'll come back in a few days to trouble the teacher. After speaking, Wu Yingying left the courtyard dejectedly, and before leaving, she didn't forget to look back at Jiang Chen, grimaced at him, and said, "Boy, don't be too crazy!"

After Wu Yingying left, only Margo and Jiang Chen were left in the courtyard, and the two looked at each other for a long time, looking quite strange.

"Chen'er, are you also like Yingying, digest for a few days before starting?"

However, Jiang Chen stretched out his right hand to Margo and said directly, "No need, Teacher Margo, please give me the unilateral side of the Spirit Disciple Pill." ”

It seems that Margo had long expected Jiang Chen to do this, chuckled a few times, and said, "Good boy, it's a lot more arrogant than I was at the beginning, okay, then let me see how high your alchemy talent is." After that, with a touch of the ring, he handed Jiang Chen a piece of paper.

Taking out ten more boxes from the ring, Margo continued, "Here are the ten materials needed to refine the Spirit Disciple Pill, you practice first, I'll get you when you use up these ten copies, okay, you can start now." ”

After adjusting his mentality, he picked up a piece of material, and according to the unilateral above, he first threw the withered vine leaves into the medicine tripod, and then put his hand on the conversion port outside the medicine tripod, and began to transmit fire attribute spiritual power to the tripod.

At the same time, he also called out a soul power from the sea of knowledge and entered the ding, and while observing the changes in the ding, he controlled the intensity of the fiery red flame and began to refine the withered vine leaves.

"This kid really has two strokes, he has just come into contact with the art of alchemy, and he can do it without hurrying and methodical when refining the pill for the first time, which is good. Looking at Jiang Chen's skillful movements, Margo also secretly praised in her heart.

Everything went smoothly at first, after refining the withered vine leaves into a medicinal liquid, Jiang Chen also successfully refined the soul refining grass, the hyoid bone leaf, and the Lingtai flower into the medicinal liquid in turn, and the fire was extremely suitable.

However, when refining the demon pill of the first-order demon beast, the input of soul power was unstable, resulting in too much heat, and the demon pill of this order demon beast was immediately burned into ashes, and Jiang Chen's first alchemy ended in failure.

"In the refining of the elixir, the first thing to pay attention to is to maintain a stable input of soul power, you have just started to contact alchemy, you must remember to be slow and steady, every time you fail, it means a waste of money, okay, come again." ”

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, recalled some of the key points of alchemy and the reasons for the failure of the last time in his mind, and after exhaling lightly, he opened the second box, threw the withered vine leaves into it again, and started the second alchemy.

After all, I am new to alchemy, and some of the blind spots in my studies have all been exposed in the process of alchemy. The third time, failure... Fourth, failed... The fifth, failed...

With each failure, Margo seriously pointed out the mistakes Jiang Chen had made, and explained the correct method in detail.

After failing five times in a row, Jiang Chen finally found some rules and cultivated some alchemy feelings.

Finally, at the time of the sixth alchemy, Jiang Chen successfully refined all the materials into medicinal liquid, and entered the most critical link of alchemy, fusing the medicinal liquid and condensing it into a pill!

"Chen'er, the key to fusing the medicinal liquid is to be bold and careful, wrap the medicinal liquid with soul power, sense whether each of them is in contact with the roundness, if not, control the flame to modify it, and finally use the soul power to condense it into a pill. ”

Seeing that Jiang Chen had already entered the last link of alchemy, Margo couldn't help but remind him on the side.

About a quarter of an hour later, with a soft sound of puffing in the Ding, the medicinal liquid that Jiang Chen had finally refined suddenly turned into a black paste, and Margo on the side sighed lightly with some regret, and said, "Don't be discouraged, you have done a good job." ”

.........

After failing twice in a row, Jiang Chen's head was already covered with sweat, because his mind was too concentrated, and he used his soul power uninterruptedly for a long time, causing him to feel a little dizzy.

"Teacher Margot, I'll take a break and sort out my thoughts by the way. After speaking, Jiang Chen sat directly on the ground, closed his eyes and began to cultivate, now for Jiang Chen, cultivation is the best rest.

Time passed quickly, and after a while, an hour passed, and Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes.

"Hehe, how is the little guy's rest? Why don't you do it today, and start practicing again tomorrow?" Seeing that Jiang Chen had woken up, Margo also jumped down from the stone table and said with a smile.

"No, Margot-sensei, I'm going to try again. ”

Jiang Chen slowly stood up, smiled wickedly, and then opened the last box on the ground...
