Volume 2 Imperial Academy Chapter 93 Ancient Magic

Back in the dormitory, Jiedu and Valut were both meditating and cultivating, Bai Bing smiled slightly, and also sat cross-legged on his bed, and began to enter a perfect cultivation state.

Under the leadership of Bai Bing, 117, a three-person dormitory, is definitely one of the most diligent dormitories in the first year of the Imperial College.

In one night, Bai Bing slowly digested the basic knowledge of alchemy he learned today, and constantly precipitated it in his mind and transformed it into something that truly belonged to him.

I have to say that after tossing and turning in the alchemy shop all night, Bai Bing now has a lot of interest in alchemy, in addition to being a means of contacting ancient magic, and has the desire to study seriously.

The next morning, Bai Bing recovered from his perfect cultivation state, and it was already the third pole of the day, remembering the agreement with Mu Lao, he hurriedly washed up and went out.

When he came to the East Service Area and walked through the small bookstore called [True Knowledge], the Jiwotou clerk was still fascinated by a copy of "Seventy-two Styles of Secret Techniques in the Room", and his expression was intoxicated, which made Bai Bing feel speechless.

Coming to the weeds alchemy shop on the second floor, Mu Lao was already standing in front of the experimental table, holding an alchemy test tube in one hand and shaking it in a strange rhythm, and a raging magic fire was burning in the other hand, and a puddle of grass-green liquid in the test tube was gradually transforming into a faint blue.

Seeing Bai Bing walk in, Mu Lao didn't speak, first finished refining the potion in his hand, poured the liquid in the test tube that had been completely transformed into light blue into a large cylindrical container, and then turned to Bai Bing and scolded his face.

"You bastard boy, I told you to come early in the morning, but I only arrived at this time, and I made my old man wait for hours!"

Although the tone was very impulsive, there was a kind of teacher's love for the students in the words, and Bai Bing listened to it in his ears, but a warm feeling floated in his heart.

Hurriedly smiled lightly, and said in a slightly coquettish tone: "Mu Lao, I finished the task you assigned yesterday, it was too late, I wanted to sleep here all night, but I was afraid of disturbing your old man's rest, so I rushed back to the dormitory to meditate and practice, but I didn't expect to enter the state as soon as I cultivated, and I accidentally woke up late, and I asked Mu Lao to forgive me." ”

"Oh, you use meditation and cultivation instead of sleep, can you now enter a perfect cultivation state at any time?" Mu Lao suddenly grasped the key to the problem, his complexion eased slightly, and asked Bai Bing.

"Exactly. At this point, the student is a bit talented. Bai Bing didn't hide it, and told Mu Lao honestly, of course, he had just condensed his fighting qi a few months ago, and he had entered a perfect cultivation state for the first time, and this kind of thing could never be said.

"Well, in this way, you still have a certain talent in cultivating Dou Qi, then my old man has a lot of adults, forgive you kid this time. Mu Lao nodded, helped the crystal glasses on his left eye, and said with a serious face on the surface.

However, through Mu Lao's not very thick lenses, it can be seen that there is a trace of imperceptible pride in his eyes, and the waist plate hidden under a light gray alchemist's robe is also straight.

It seems that in Mu Lao's heart, he is very proud of this heir who was only found in old age.

Mu Lao picked up the cylindrical container filled with light blue liquid, and gestured to Bai Bing: "Since you kid still has a little talent in fighting spirit, then our first lesson can be regarded as useful, do you know what this bottle of original liquid I just refined is?"

Bai Bing immediately took the container from Mu Lao's hand, his eyes were fixed, and he observed it carefully, but after looking at it for a while, he had no clue.

Just as he was about to honestly admit that he didn't know, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in his mind, and he remembered in the corner of his memory that when choosing a department, Rogge had promised him that he could use the Dou Qi cultivation liquid in the warehouse of the Condor Department infinitely.

Although he hadn't been to the department warehouse, in the space ring given to him by Secretary Fengyue, there was a small bottle of Dou Qi cultivation liquid, which felt a little similar to the bottle of liquid in front of him, except that one was grass green and the other was light blue.

Dou Qi cultivation liquid, which is an alchemy elixir that accelerates the cultivation of Dou Qi, is widely popular on the mainland. Before meditating and cultivating, if you take a bottle of Dou Qi cultivation liquid, you can not only speed up the circulation of Dou Qi and improve the efficiency of cultivation, but also increase the chance of entering a perfect cultivation state.

Since he could enter a perfect cultivation state anytime and anywhere without the help of any external force, Bai Bing's demand for Dou Qi cultivation liquid was not very strong, and the vial was also transferred to Jiedu and Valut. Let the two of them be grateful to Bai Bing.

The function of the Dou Qi cultivation liquid is powerful, but the requirements for alchemists are more demanding, and the effect of the cultivation liquid between different grades is very different, and the price is also exaggerated. There is a simple way to judge the value and status of an alchemist in the alchemy world, which is to see how many grades of Dou Qi cultivation liquid this alchemist can refine, if he can refine more than four grades of Dou Qi cultivation liquid, it means that this is an expert-level alchemist.

Bai Bing remembered the scene when he had just gone upstairs when Mu Lao was refining, and he already had a rough guess in his heart, and replied cautiously:

"Teacher, the students guessed that it should be something similar to the Douqi cultivation liquid, but the specific name and function of the students did not know. ”

"Oh? Tell me what you guessed you were based on. For Bai Bing's answer, Mu Lao seemed to be a little unexpected, raised his eyebrows, and continued to ask.

"The student once saw a small bottle of Dou Qi cultivation liquid rationed by the Condor system, that bottle of cultivation liquid and the current liquid, although the color is different, but the magic radiation emitted is slightly similar, but the current liquid gives people a more vigorous and pure feeling. ”

"Well, it's a little clever. Mu Lao nodded with satisfaction again, "That's right, the bottle in your hand is the seven-grade Dou Qi cultivation liquid, and the warehouses of each department of the academy are all four-grade Dou Qi cultivation liquid." ”

Seven-grade Douqi culture liquid!

Bai Bing's heart shook violently, being able to refine the seven-grade Dou Qi cultivation liquid meant that Mu Lao must be a grandmaster-level alchemist, such a character, in the alchemy world of the entire continent, can be said to be a Taishan Beidou-like character.

However, Mu Lao paid full attention to the astonishing information revealed in his words, as if he had said a trivial matter, and continued, "There are three key points in refining the Dou Qi cultivation liquid, one is the preparation of the original solution, the second is the magic power catalysis, and the third is the extraction of the essence. ”

Knowing that Mu Lao had already started teaching, Bai Bing immediately looked straight and listened attentively, for fear of missing a word or a word.

"The preparation of the original solution is the basis for refining all medicines, and it plays a pivotal role in alchemy. The preparation of drug substance consists of three major elements: the quality of raw materials, the cultivation environment, and the selection of drug introduction. “

"Generally speaking, the raw materials of Douqi culture liquid should have three main materials: ichthyosaurus, sparkling starflower, and neutral water, and then add corresponding auxiliary materials to cultivate stock solutions with different effects. The quality of the main material and auxiliary materials will affect the quality of the final stock solution, and the proportion of each material is also very particular. “

"The cultivation environment must be dry, constant temperature, and free of unnecessary mana fluctuations or vindictive reactions. Now you might as well feel if there is anything special about our current cottage. “

Hearing what Mu Lao said, Bai Bing reacted, although this room looked ordinary, there was nothing special. But he stayed in the house for so long yesterday, and he didn't feel stuffy at all, and he felt that the air was always very fresh, and it was completely in line with the dryness, constant temperature and other elements that Mu Lao said. After discovering this, Bai Bing's face unconsciously showed a look of shock and thought.

Seeing Bai Bing's expression, Mu Lao didn't sell it, and said directly: "In this room, I have laid a small alchemy array, the effect is to ensure that the temperature and humidity of the room are constant, automatically fresh the air, and at the same time reduce the chaotic magic fluctuations. Alchemy circle is another major category in alchemy in addition to potions, which is broad and profound, but it should not be touched too early. When your magic power breaks through the advanced mage level, I won't be too late to teach it. ”

Mu Lao's words completely shocked Bai Bing. Setting up an alchemy circle requires superb manipulation of magical power, profound alchemy attainments, and a comprehensive understanding of the surrounding environment of the magic array, all of which are indispensable, and the material consumption is extremely high, which is by no means something that ordinary master alchemists can master.

But Mu Lao actually laid down an alchemy circle in his humble little shop so lightly, but it was just to create a good environment for experiments, and if he said it, no one would believe it. Even if someone believes it, they will only scold this person for killing chickens with a knife and destroying the heavens.

But for Mu Lao, this is just a completely insignificant matter, and its importance may not be as important as the question of what to eat at noon. It can be seen that Mu Lao's attainments in alchemy are absolutely unfathomable.

Very satisfied with the effect of his words, Mu Lao continued: "The selection of medicine is the most important part of determining the quality of the stock solution. As for how to choose, it is necessary to test the level, experience, and even imagination of an alchemist. For example, the medicine used in the Academy's Dou Qi cultivation liquid is the venom of the fourth-order Demonic Beast Double-headed Viper, while the bottle I just refined uses the core of the fifth-order Demonic Beast Blade Arm Mantis. ”

Just the preparation of the original solution, Mu Lao talked a lot endlessly, but every word was worth a thousand gold, and there was not a word of nonsense.

Bai Bing greedily absorbed the knowledge in Mu Lao's words, this kind of grandmaster-level alchemist's words and deeds were definitely not the treatment that every apprentice who had just come into contact with alchemy could enjoy.

Mu Lao picked up the magic pure water in his hand, took a sip, sighed, and sighed: "After talking a lot, my mouth is dry, if only there was a cup of hot tea to moisten my throat." ”

When Bai Bing heard this, he understood, and with his memory of last night, he skillfully took out a pack of elf tree tea from a cabinet, boiled a pot of boiling water, and made tea for Mu Lao.

"Hehe, you remember the location of this elf tree tea, you are still familiar with it, it seems that you were not lazy last night. Taking the tea handed over by Bai Bing, Mu Lao took a sip and tasted it for a while before he opened his mouth to praise.

"Students are stupid, and this is all taught by the teacher. Bai Bing slapped a sycophant on the back, making Mu Lao laugh. It seems that in this world, there are really thousands of sycophants who don't wear them.

Mu Lao put down the tea and continued: "The second key point is magic catalysis. Magical catalysis can be said to be the most important of all alchemy. The effect of magic catalysis mainly depends on the alchemist's control and mastery of magic power, and the strength, duration, and rhythm of magic power release will affect the effect of catalysis. Therefore, it is because of this reason that a clever alchemist has few opponents in the civil war of mages of the same level. ”

Speaking of this, Mu Lao paused for a moment, glanced at Bai Bing very meaningfully, and then continued: "However, in addition to the control and mastery of magic power, there is another important factor that is ignored by the vast majority of people, and that is the category of magic power. It's no wonder, because since the fall of the Elven Empire, the ancient magic power has almost disappeared on the continent, and now the magic power cultivated by human beings belongs to meditation magic. And the magic power cultivated by the ancient elves belongs to the condensed magic power. “

"These two magical powers, in the magic catalysis of alchemy, are basically the same on the surface, and the final results are similar, but they are completely different in nature. Meditation magic is homogeneous catalysis when it is catalyzed by mana, while condensation magic is complex catalysis, which is more domineering and more efficient than the current meditation magic. ”

"And when ancient alchemy was at its most prosperous, those great alchemists cultivated all condensed magic, so there are many top secret elixirs of alchemy, which must be catalyzed by condensing magic, which is now called ancient magic, before it can be refined. ”

"And the inheritance of my lineage is precisely a person who has the ancient magic power, so my old man will be famous in the continent for nearly a hundred years, but there has never been a successor, so when I saw you yesterday, I asked if you would like to learn alchemy with me. ”

Speaking of this, Mu Lao, who had always been calm and relaxed, was also a little excited, after all, it was too difficult for a young man with ancient magic power and his inheritance to appear on the continent now.

"Teacher, you always say how the inheritance of our vein is, so what is the background and scene of our vein?" Looking at Mu Lao's expression, Bai Bing felt that his vein of alchemy must have a great hidden secret, and finally couldn't help but ask.
