Chapter 24: Alchemy

After taking a bath, Xiao Chen changed his clothes, lay on the bed and began to read the alchemist introductory compendium sent by the Great Elder, the habit of reading books lying on the bed was developed in the original world, and it can't be changed when he arrives in this world, if he is seen, he will definitely be surprised.

There is no one of the most noble professions in the Alchemist Tianwu Continent, whether it is the best elixir used to heal wounds, the magical elixir that changes the physique, or the elixir that speeds up the cultivation speed.

It is a great attraction for martial artists. The rarity of the alchemist, coupled with the huge demand, naturally made this profession far more noble than other professions.

Xiao Chen looked at it page by page, this primer outline is not very thick, dozens of pages are thin, Xiao Chen's reading speed word by word, it didn't take long to read it.

The introductory outline is the introductory outline, and there is basically no substantive content, just some general introductions to the alchemists, but Xiao Chen still gained a little and had a rough understanding of the alchemists in this world.

The alchemists on the Tianwu Continent are divided into seven grades, from one to seven, from low to high, and the level assessment of the alchemists must be carried out in a special alchemist association.

There are three conditions for becoming an alchemist, the first is to have a fire-attribute martial soul, or a fire-attribute exercise, which can condense real fire, which is the most basic condition for an alchemist.

The second is the understanding of medicinal materials, this condition requires extremely solid basic skills, and a thorough understanding of each herb and its effects and ingredients is required.

The third condition is the spiritual sense, which is the most ethereal and elusive condition, and the spiritual sense is similar to the perception of the martial artist, but it is not exactly the same.

Some people may have gone far on the path of the warrior, but they can't awaken the spiritual sense, and some people may awaken the spiritual consciousness, and the spiritual consciousness is extremely powerful, but there is no achievement in the path of the martial artist.

The so-called spiritual consciousness refers to the intuition, feel and spiritual connection of the alchemist to the medicinal materials, the last point of which is the most important, the faster, more stable, and more detailed the spiritual connection established with the medicinal materials, the farther this person can go on the path of the alchemist in the future.

Xiao Chen slowly compared these three points with himself, he had the purple thunder true fire, the first condition was naturally passed, and the second condition was the understanding of medicinal materials, the alchemy chapter on the cultivation of the true encyclopedia, and the record of medicinal materials was extremely detailed.

He had already memorized it by heart after reading it for three years, and he had discovered a long time ago that there was no discrepancy between the medicinal materials in this world and those recorded in the Cultivation Encyclopedia.

This third condition is a bit weird, there is no record of spiritual consciousness in the alchemy chapter on the cultivation of the true world, but he is not very worried, the alchemy recorded in the cultivation of the true book is a little different from the one in this world after all. Even if he doesn't have spiritual sense or doesn't have enough spiritual sense, he can't become an alchemist in this world, but according to the method on the cultivation of the true world, he still has the confidence to refine the elixir.

Moreover, the pills recorded in the Xiuzhen Encyclopedia are more magical and profound than the pills in this world, for example, the Bigu Pill that he will refine later, after taking it, he can not eat or drink water for a month, and he has never heard of it in this world.

......

When it was almost dark, Bao'er finally returned to Xiao Chen's courtyard with a large bag of medicinal herbs, looking at Bao'er who was sweating, Xiao Chen was a little unbearable, and the appearance of the little girl was only fourteen or fifteen years old, which was in his original world, still in junior high school, and it was the age of flowers.

Said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you, in fact, I'm not in a hurry, you don't have to hurry." ”

Bao'er's little hand wiping sweat, when she heard this, she was stunned, I heard it right, the famous gentleman of the Xiao family actually apologized to his little maid.

When Xiao Chen was still a waste material, his reputation was very bad, and after defeating Xiao Jian, although everyone knew that he was not a waste material, his evaluation of him in private still did not improve. It is said that he has become a villain and has become more unbearable than before, and there are even rumors that he has taught all the people who humiliated him before, and such rumors are not uncommon among the next people.

If Xiao Chen knew these things, he would definitely be extremely depressed, looking at Bao'er's blank appearance, Xiao Chen was a little worried, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you, people are not feeling well?"

Bao'er came back to her senses, a little unaccustomed to Xiao Chen's tone, her little face was slightly red, and she said in a low voice: "Bao'er is fine, thank you young master for your concern." ”

Xiao Chen put down his heart and said, "You go back first, I don't have anything to ask you for help for the time being." ”

When Bao'er heard this, she looked at Xiao Chen with some surprise, and said worriedly: "Young Master, are you going to drive me away?" The Great Elder said, I am already your exclusive maid, and I will live here in the future, if Bao'er goes out, the Great Elder will definitely think that Bao'er has served me badly and will punish me. ”

In this case, Xiao Chen didn't expect that these subordinates and maids were all orphans and children of poor families, and all of them had signed a deed of sale, and even if they were beaten to death, they would not have any responsibility, although the Xiao family did not have such strict family rules, but there were still necessary punishments.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly, he had never encountered this situation, and he didn't know what to do for a while. Xiao Chen's courtyard is more than enough for one person to live, but he has too many secrets, and it is really not reassuring to have a stranger by his side.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Chen didn't think of a way to do both, looking at Chu Chu's poor Bao'er, his heart softened, "You can live here now, there is still a wing room in the east, you will live there tonight." ”

Bao'er smiled happily: "Bao'er, thank you Second Young Master, I'll go and prepare supper for Second Young Master." ”

Looking at Bao'er's departing back a little helplessly, and shaking his head, Xiao Chen focused on the medicinal materials she brought and checked them one by one.

20 saffron flowers, 50 star anise lotus, 20 tiger palm plants, 20 spearmint flowers......

Counting them one by one, Xiao Chen's request for herbs is exactly the same, this little girl's ability to do things is still very good, Xiao Chen smiled in his heart, picked up a tiger palm grass and observed it carefully.

There were four purple and green leaves blooming on the top of the one-foot-long rhizome, looking at this tiger palm grass that was only ten years old, Xiao Chen thought with some doubts in his heart, what is the so-called spiritual sense, and how to establish a spiritual connection with it?

Holding the herb gently in his hand, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and calmed down, his mind slowly moved to his right hand with the vitality, and the vitality left the body to wrap the herb gently, but the mind remained in the body, blocked by the flesh on the palm, and could not break out of the body.

After trying a few times, Xiao Chen's mind couldn't establish any connection with the tiger palm grass in his hand, and there was a difference between his mind and spiritual sense. Just as Xiao Chen was about to give up, his mind suddenly caught a strange green spiritual energy network on the surface of his palm.

A small line of energy on the green energy network entered the body through the vitality, and quickly connected with the mind, and a green world suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Chen's mind.

In the green space, all kinds of intricate lines are as complex and intertwined as a labyrinth, and spiritual energy flows around in the green space, closely linked with Xiao Chen's mind, and for a moment Xiao Chen seems to be able to feel the breath and pulse beating of this tiger paw grass, which is a very strange feeling.

Xiao Chen's heart was extremely pleasantly surprised, this is the so-called spiritual sense, under such a close spiritual connection, the herb is like an organ in his body. In this state, the understanding and control of medicinal materials will definitely be further improved, and when refining the elixir, it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort, no wonder to become a good alchemist, you must have spiritual awareness.

Retracting his mind, a pale green energy returned to the meridians in his body from the palm of his hand, flowed through the large and small meridians on his arm, and finally rushed straight into Xiao Chen's mind, and after the pale green energy rotated a few times, a green dot was formed and merged with Xiao Chen's mind.

A little puzzled what the green dot in his mind was, but this was not the time to think about this problem, with his rough understanding of the alchemists of this world, he was afraid that he would not be able to understand it for a while.

Putting aside the doubts in his heart, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and looked at the tiger palm grass in his hand again, this time he had a more thorough understanding of the tiger palm grass, and its roots also had quite a lot of medicinal properties, instead of only leaves being useful as the book said, with this level of understanding, he was more confident in the next refining pills.

Taking out the Qinglong Medicine Ding, Xiao Chen summoned the Purple Thunder True Fire and began his first refining medicine, refining the Bigu Pill.

In the Encyclopedia of Cultivation, Bigu Pill is an extremely low-level elixir in the cultivation realm, and only some cultivators who have not reached Bigu in the realm need to take it, and it is very suitable to get started.

Throwing the tiger palm grass into the purple thunder true fire, Xiao Chen carefully calcined it, controlling the strength of the purple thunder true fire, and did not dare to be careless.

The four green leaves quickly melted into four drops of clear green liquid, the green liquid kept tumbling in the purple fire, Xiao Chen took a porcelain bottle prepared in advance, flicked his fingers, and filled the four drops of green liquid.

Then he set his eyes on the roots that had not melted, if it was before the spiritual sense, Xiao Chen would definitely discard the roots, and after knowing that the roots still had medicinal properties, Xiao Chen would naturally not waste them.

The roots are a little harder than the leaves, and the temperature of the flame should also rise a little, Xiao Chen slowly increased the control of the purple thunder true fire a little. This subtle control of the flames seems simple, but it is actually very nerve-wracking, and it is an extreme test of the alchemy's control over the flames.

If the strength is small, the liquid medicine will not be calcined, and if the strength is large, the liquid medicine will evaporate, and only when the point is reached can the liquid medicine be successfully taken out, fortunately, there is a detailed introduction to these in the Encyclopedia of Cultivation, and it is not difficult to be careful.

After taking out five drops of green liquid medicine from the roots, there was a little more residue on the table again, Xiao Chen took out five more tiger palm grasses one after another for exercise, and after that, he didn't have such good luck as the first time, even if he knew when and how much flame to use, Xiao Chen still damaged the two tiger palm grasses.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen had expected this situation, and asked Bao'er to prepare twice as many medicinal materials as he bought, and a total of fifty drops of medicinal liquid were calcined in the tiger palm grass before Xiao Chen stopped.
