Chapter 101: The First Apprenticeship
"Huh..."
Looking at the slender back sitting cross-legged in front of him, Nie Yun couldn't help but sigh again.
I vaguely recalled the appearance of my apprenticeship at the beginning, although it was already very sloppy, but the minimum etiquette was still a decline, and now... Before he even drank a cup of apprentice tea, he was pushed to the No. 3 alchemy room by Elder Shen Dan in a hurry.
"Master, I'm ready, when can we start." Shen Ling'er turned around, her translucent beautiful eyes blinking.
"Ah, wait a minute." Shen Ling'er's crisp words pulled Nie Yun back to reality, tilted her head, and hurriedly recalled the scene where Li Fuzi taught them at the beginning.
"Hmm... It seems that he demonstrated the process of refining the Hui Qi Pill to us, and then threw us the 'one volume' of the Hui Qi Dan recipe and it was over. ”
Simple! Thinking of this, Nie Yun smiled confidently, casually took out a light blue futon and put it aside, pointed at it, and said with a smile: "Ling'er, you sit over there first, and let the teacher come and show you first."
"Okay! Okay! Shen Ling'er's eyebrows bent slightly, she straightened up with a smile and sat on the light blue futon, feeling the cool feeling from the futon, her eyes lit up slightly: "Hehe, it's really a futon for elders." ”
"I asked you to sit so that you could calm down and take a closer look."
Thinking about my own time... Belch... It could be the month... Anyway, there is no such condition, Nie Yun shook his head helplessly, and then waved his big hand lightly.
Boom!
I saw an ice-blue medicine pod appear in an instant, blocking the position of the fire outlet.
"Wow... Is this the spiritual medicine pod? Feeling the faint aura circulating on the surface of the ice blue medicine tripod, Shen Ling'er's eyes lit up slightly, and she subconsciously reached over her hand and carefully stroked the lines on it.
"Ling'er... Did you know that the alchemist's medicine tripod and a martial artist's sword are of the same nature? Nie Yun didn't stop Shen Ling'er's outstretched jade hand, but just sighed slightly: "This is also me... As a teacher, you can just touch it, and don't owe someone else's. ”
Whether it is a martial cultivator or an alchemist, he pays great attention to the spiritual weapon he uses after he really enters the hall, and ordinary people can't easily touch it, and even if this spiritual weapon can't keep up with his cultivation in the future, he won't need it in the future, and he will generally carefully treasure it or pass it on to the next generation he likes.
And such a mess that doesn't understand the rules, if you meet an alchemist with a bad temper, I'm afraid you will have to make a direct revenge.
"Hee-hee, got it!" Shen Ling'er's big eyes were slightly bent, and then she continued to lower her head, and couldn't put it down to touch the carvings on the wall with a hint of coldness, and Nie Yun waited helplessly.
Who called this his own apprentice...
Perhaps sensing Nie Yun's slightly helpless gaze, Shen Ling'er glanced at the helpless Nie Yun on the side, and reluctantly touched two more handfuls, only then he smiled and withdrew his hand and said, "Okay, master, you continue to alchemy." ”
"I... You can't touch it when you're alchemizing for a teacher! Nie Yun shook his head helplessly, put his palm on the wall, turned his head and forcibly admonished with a straight face: "Sit on the futon and look carefully." ”
Seeing Shen Ling'er sitting on the futon with a serious face, she nodded slowly and said, "The first step in alchemy is to trigger the earth fire. ”
In order to let his apprentice see more carefully, Nie Yun deliberately slowed down his speed. I saw a milky white qi slowly floating out of Nie Yun's palm, floating slowly towards the fire outlet through the ice-blue wall.
"All we have to do is to trigger the earth's fire, so we don't need too many qi engines, just one wisp is enough."
Swish! As soon as Nie Yun's words fell, the crimson earth fire rose suddenly, swaying unscrupulously in the Ding Wall.
"Then at this time, you need to increase the output of the gas engine to make this guy honest."
The scorching heat that was beating violently in Dingzhong reflected Nie Yun's face red, but he didn't care, but the milky white qi in his palm was slightly thicker.
"That's fine." Looking at the crimson flames that were almost instantly quiet and docile, Nie Yun smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Shen Ling'er, who had a serious look, and said, "It's very simple, right." ”
"Uh... I guess so. Shen Ling'er unconsciously pinched the pale green skirt with her right hand, and said with some uncertainty.
"Hehe, it's very simple, wait until you try it yourself and you'll find out." Nie Yun smiled and shook his head, this was a sign that Shen Ling'er was not confident, after all, this was also the granddaughter of Elder Shen Dan, and this talent would always be there.
Nie Yun said to himself: "Then the second step of this alchemy is to refine medicinal materials, this step is a little more difficult than the previous step, but it is not too difficult." ”
Then he deliberately only threw in a short pale green plant, controlling the flame to gradually smoke the pale green plant little by little until it withered, as the plant itself shrank and disappeared, a little pale green liquid gradually appeared in the medicine pod, Nie Yun nodded lightly again, and said with a smile: "Ah, this is considered a success." ”
As he spoke, he threw out a variety of herbs at once, and the milky white qi machine in his palm surged, and the flames in the ding surged, quickly engulfing it, and explained at the same time:
"When you are proficient in the medicinal properties of various herbs and can accurately grasp the heat, you can refine a variety of different herbs at the same time."
"Oh~" Shen Ling'er's red lips opened slightly, and she nodded a little stunned.
And Nie Yun didn't care, just silently watched the various medicinal liquids in the Ding continue to condense into various colored medicinal liquids, and said lightly again: "The last step is to condense and fuse the medicinal liquid and turn it into a real elixir." ”
"Because the characteristics of each medicinal material are different, the heat is not the same, and we must pay more attention to carefully grasp the heat when condensing the pill, if there is a slight deviation, one of the medicinal properties will dissipate, and the pill will be wasted."
Nie Yun opened his mouth to explain, and at the same time gazed at Dan with ease.
Shen Ling'er, on the other hand, watched as the various medicinal liquids gradually changed from viscous to paste-like under the roasting of the ground fire, and finally turned into a round elixir...
"It's too easy." Nie Yun looked at the pale cyan Huiqi Pill in Dingzhong and shook his head slightly, then searched and tinkered for a long time from the storage bag, before he took out a thick booklet and threw it to Shen Ling'er on the side and said, "Ah, this is the Huiqi Dan Formula, take a closer look, if you don't know anything, you can ask me, and after reading it, you can try alchemy by yourself." ”
"Just... That's it? Shen Ling'er took the booklet a little stunned, her rosy lips opened slightly, and she said a little confused: "Don't you need to talk about it in detail?" I've heard that other alchemists have to teach their disciples for three or four days just to teach the theoretical foundation. ”
"It's over~ I've talked about everything I should say, and there's nothing else to talk about." Nie Yun was also slightly stunned, and spread his hands helplessly: "It's just refining a Hui Qi Pill, can you use it for three or four days?" ”
The conscience of heaven and earth, when Li Fuzi taught them, he was much more casual than Nie Yun, at least the steps of practicing Dan were not as careful as Nie Yun said, and then he threw away the booklet and let the students practice by themselves.
"Oh~" After glancing at Nie Yun's serious expression, Shen Ling'er nodded helplessly with her snow-white chin, and looked at the booklet in her hand in disbelief.
But she soon understood why Nie Yun said that she didn't need to talk so much... Because this volume from Yuelu Academy Huiqi Dan Fang is too detailed, not to mention the refining process of Huiqi Dan, it also adds common sense large and small in detail, and also adds annotations added by Nie Yun himself in the alchemy process...
It's like a key to a new world, and the door... Right in front of Shen Ling'er's eyes, the moment she held the key, the door opened automatically.
"Any questions you can ask me." Nie Yun looked at Shen Ling'er with a focused and serious look and smiled slightly, and then closed his eyes and meditated and cultivated.
......
More than an hour later.
"Master, I'm done." Shen Ling'er raised her head slightly, and said with a pair of beautiful eyes flashing with brilliance: "I want to try." ”
"Okay." Nie Yun opened his eyes and nodded, stretched out his hand to move the Ice Demon Ding away, casually took out a black ordinary medicine tripod from the storage bag and put it on the fire outlet, patted it lightly, listened to the knocking sound made by the black ding, and smiled slightly: "Well, it's not bad, you can start." ”
Looking at the black medicine tripod, Shen Ling'er's originally excited expression suddenly stiffened, the smile on the corner of her mouth instantly calmed down, her ruddy lips pursed slightly, and she looked at Nie Yun with some grievances: "Ling'er can't use the master's tripod..."
"It's not that I'm reluctant to use the Ice Demon for you, but as an alchemy apprentice, it's best to start refining with the most ordinary medicine tripod first." Seeing that Shen Ling'er's smart beautiful eyes were about to be covered with a layer of crystal, Nie Yun patted his head violently, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain.
This is just like ordinary people practicing swords and swords, basically starting with wooden knives and wooden swords, and then gradually changing to sharp weapons, and finally changing to spiritual weapons... It's a step-by-step process.
But although the truth is such a truth, Nie Yun's explanation is extremely pale and weak...
"It doesn't matter." Shen Ling'er's eyes were slightly red, and she turned her head and hugged the black medicine tripod and said, "This... This one is pretty good, too. ”
"This, this, this... Ling'er, I don't hate you! Nie Yun said anxiously.
"I didn't say that the master hates me..."Shen Ling'er's voice gradually lowered, and by the last few words it was almost inaudible.
"Ah, no, that's not what I meant." Seeing the slender back in front of him gradually trembling, Nie Yun scratched his hair with some distress.
"That's right, Ling'er, when you really become an alchemist, will I give you this ice demon as a teacher?"
"Really?" Shen Ling'er turned around in an instant, and her eyes, which were covered in a moist mist, instantly radiated a Dao brilliance.
"Of course it's true." Nie Yun exhaled secretly, wiped away the beads of sweat that had condensed on his cheeks at some point, and said with a bright smile on his face: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." The master hasn't lied to you yet. ”
"Hehe, let's get started." Shen Ling'er's eyebrows suddenly curved slightly, she turned around and hugged the black medicine pod again, and then she seemed to suddenly think of something, turned her head slightly and scratched her head and said, "That... What will the master use when the time comes? ”
Seeing that this apprentice had finally forgotten about himself, Nie Yun smiled with relief.
"Don't worry, if you are a teacher, you are also an elder of the association, so naturally there is a better one."
It's just a spiritual medicine tripod, and it's not distressing. Nie Yun comforted himself silently, but finally couldn't help but sigh.
As soon as I accepted an apprentice, I set up a medicine pod.
