Chapter 5 Strengthening the Body
As soon as he finished cultivating, Su Yu was about to put away the black iron knife, and the master pushed the door in as usual, but he seemed to hesitate and think about something.
"Master, is there something wrong?" Su Yu couldn't help but ask.
"Su Yu, do you want to learn alchemy?" The master said seemingly casually as he closed the door.
"Of course!" Su Yu's eyes lit up, but he was a little surprised in his heart.
He thought that the master didn't know how to alchemy, so he didn't teach him alchemy, but now it seems that the master is completely good at alchemy, but he is unwilling to teach himself for some reason.
Without waiting for Su Yu to ask anything, the master said: "My alchemy is actually a master of Yanyu Pavilion, and it shouldn't have been passed on, but teaching it to you is actually a broken rule." ”
"However, I am not a person from the Yanyu Pavilion for a long time, and I will teach you, there is nothing to do, but you need to pay attention to yourself, and don't show the alchemy process to outsiders, especially the people of the Yanyu Pavilion."
"Of course, if you can join the Yanyu Pavilion and become an alchemist in it, then the alchemy process will be fine even if it is exposed."
However, Liu Shi didn't think that Su Yu would be able to join the Yanyu Pavilion and become an alchemist.
Generally speaking, people with strong martial arts talent will be much worse in alchemy, and it will naturally be a lot more difficult to become an alchemist, not to mention passing the assessment of the Yanyu Pavilion and becoming an alchemist of the Yanyu Pavilion.
Once you become the alchemist of the Yanyu Pavilion, outsiders will respect you very much, and even people with an identity background will not dare to make a move on you at will.
"Master, I won't expose the alchemy process, I know it in my heart, you can teach me." Su Yu assured.
I didn't expect the master to be a person from the Yanyu Pavilion, I don't know what kind of story there is, it's just that, since the master didn't take the initiative to talk to me, I don't want to ask.
Liu Shi said: "It's good to know, but if you want to teach you alchemy, you need to buy an alchemy furnace, which costs a lot of silver, and the relevant medicinal materials also need to be purchased, this is some silver, you take it yourself to buy an alchemy furnace, and the medicinal materials on it are bought according to the note." ”
Su Yu hesitated in his heart, returned the silver to the master, and took the note.
"Master, I have a lot of silver on me, and I don't need your silver."
The master's life was already poor, and he also gave money to buy an alchemy furnace to teach himself alchemy, and Su Yu was embarrassed to let go of the silver in his hand and use the master's silver.
"You kid really has a bit of a secret, okay, I won't ask you where the money comes from, for the teacher to believe in your character." Liu Shi said.
After the master and apprentice had a brief lunch, Su Yu went to Beiyuan City alone to buy the things needed for alchemy.
Soon, I came to the Yanyu Pavilion in Beiyuan City.
"On the note that the master gave me, it was specified to buy the purple gold pattern furnace, which should be sold here, and by the way, buy some pills."
The effect of quenching body powder on Su Yu can be said to be very weak, so Su Yu plans to buy some pills to assist in martial arts cultivation to support his cultivation for a period of time.
"Do you have any recommendations for the elixir to assist in martial arts cultivation here?" Su Yu asked.
A medicine boy immediately came over and introduced: "Then I recommend this pill, Zhuangju Pill, a bottle of twenty taels of silver, a total of ten Zhuangju Pills, suitable for use by martial artists in the Inner Zhuang Realm." ”
"What happens if you use it below the Inner Realm?"
The medicine boy replied: "It won't be good, it's just that it will cause a waste of medicinal effect, and it is more suitable for the use of martial artists in the Inner Zhuang Realm, if you don't like this one, I recommend this ......"
"No, that's it, take two bottles and I'll take them back and try them." Su Yu took out forty taels worth of silver and threw it to the medicine boy.
"The guests are really atmospheric!" The medicine boy said excitedly.
Su Yu took over two bottles of ancient wood-colored medicine bottles, and the rich medicinal fragrance came into his nose.
When I opened one of the bottles, there were ten brown pills inside, which didn't look very good.
"Do you have purple gold lines here, take me to see."
The medicine boy nodded and said, "Naturally, there is, I'll take the guests to have a look." ”
Su Yu followed the medicine boy to the place where the Dan furnace was specially sold, and took a random look, many of them were sold for five hundred taels, or even one thousand taels, which was more expensive than Su Yu expected.
Hey, if I learn to black, can I also make money with this?
However, Su Yu abandoned this idea for the time being, it was enough to master one or two in a short time, and studying too much would distract him.
"This is the Purple Gold Pattern Furnace." The medicine boy said, pointing to a stove.
One hundred and fifty taels, which is a lot more expensive than what the master said, Su Yu asked, "Can you reduce the price a little?" ”
"Don't embarrass me, guests, there is a Blackwater Gang who has recently occupied an important ore vein, which has caused the price of all Dan furnaces to rise, if you want a cheaper one, you can choose the one next to it."
The Blackwater Gang has expanded to such an extent that it can even occupy the ore veins.
You must know that such an important thing is generally controlled by the government, and it can be occupied by the Blackwater Gang, and the Blackwater Gang's ability is even greater than you imagined.
"Forget it, so be it."
"Guest, do you want to send someone to send it to you, this Dan furnace weighs two hundred catties." The medicine boy glanced up at Su Yu and felt that although this person was strong, he couldn't carry the two hundred catties of furnace ding.
Su Yu shook his head and said, "Just exercise and exercise." ”
He threw one hundred and fifty taels of silver to the medicine boy, and with a slight force with one hand, he picked up the stove ding, as if he was carrying a child, very relaxed.
"What a powerful force!" Seeing this, the medicine boy's mouth opened in surprise, and he was speechless for a while.
When he came to the place where he often bought medicinal herbs, because he came more often, Su Yu also knew the name of the gray-haired old man, called Wang Liu, and he was usually called Master Wang.
"Ten portions of these herbs first." Su Yu sent the note to Master Wang.
"Thirty taels of silver." Master Wang said lightly and began to grab the medicine.
Soon, Master Wang grasped the medicine and packed the medicinal materials and sent them to Su Yu.
Su Yu was about to leave the Yanyu Pavilion, when he suddenly saw someone fleeing on the street outside, dragging blood on the ground, an arrow in the back, and dozens of soldiers chasing and killing him, and the general led by him shouted: "Unrelated people get out of the way, get out of the way!" ”
Even so, when the soldier struck and fired the arrow, he completely ignored the nearby civilians and attacked the fleeing man as if he were crazy.
"What's the situation, it's like seeing a treasure." Su Yu found a place to hide.
There was a tea pavilion not far away, and someone asked: "Tea master, I heard you ask a lot of questions, and you know a lot of things, do you know what the situation was just now?" ”
The person called the tea master was making tea, and he said happily: "I really know." ”
"Some time ago, didn't the Mo Tianlin son of the Mo family die unexpectedly, and the five hundred taels of silver tickets on his body disappeared."
"Look at what's going on today, someone actually took out this 500 silver ticket of the same style to buy martial arts, but naturally he didn't have to think about it, he was immediately reported, and the Mo family directly sent someone to arrest this person."
"I heard that the person who caught him will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver, or how can you say this person can be crazy?"
When Su Yu heard this, he was slightly glad in his heart, fortunately he was spent in the ghost market, if he went out in this flower, I am afraid that I would be the one who was hunted down today.
The city lord will definitely track down the silver ticket from the ghost market, well, you can't go to the ghost market during this time.
There was a scream in the distance, and half of the head flew out, and blood splattered everywhere, falling on the faces of some innocent people, and frightened many people to flee in a hurry.
"My child!" A hoarse female voice came.
The head that flew out was not the person who was running away just now, but an innocent child who was accidentally injured to death!
Seeing this scene, Su Yu couldn't help but clench his fists, the Mo family, the city lord, what a bastard!
In order to capture a person, he actually killed a child by mistake, and had no intention of staying, and galloped past on a war horse, leaving behind a mess all over the ground, innocent citizens, and blood in a place.
"It's not as good as those bandits! Dressed in the clothes of a soldier, he behaves like a rogue! Someone couldn't help but say indignantly, smashing the table with one palm.
Su Yu let out a long sigh, he couldn't care about the others so much, but he could still help that innocent woman.
Holding the furnace in one hand, Su Yu threw twenty taels of silver to the woman.
The woman looked at her eyes on the ground in amazement, her eyes were red, and she said angrily, "I don't want your money, but I give back my child!" ”
Su Yu shook his head and left, without explaining anything, his pace sped up a little.
The woman saw that Su Yu's back was not wearing military clothes, but was stuck in place, and only after half a sound did she hide her face and cry bitterly, grabbing the silver in embarrassment and protecting it.
At this time, Su Yu chose to take a detour and avoid the avenue, and he was entangled in his heart about finding a place to avoid the limelight first, or to go out of the city gate.
Later, when I thought about it, the more I behaved, the easier it was to be found abnormal, and it was better to be generous and go out of the city directly.
As for whether the city gate will be blocked because of what happened just now, Su Yu felt that it was unlikely, no matter how many soldiers there were, they could not catch a dying person. Now that it has been caught, there is no need to block the city gates.
Su Yu, who had made a decision, quickened his pace and rushed to the city gate.
The gates of the city were still as usual, people were walking in, there was a lot of traffic, but the resting soldiers were sitting together and discussing something.
"I heard that the person who killed Mo Tianlin's son has been found."
"I've heard about it too, but it seems that I've only found a clue, and the city lord is going to make a big move again."
"Eh, people like you and me should defend the city in peace, if you really want to enter the army, you have to do something against your will like them."
"Hmph, if you want me to say, that Mo Tianlin died well, he has no martial arts talent, he is perverse by nature, I don't know how many innocent people he has killed."
"Be careful, be careful!"
Su Yu listened to these words and walked out of the city gate with a normal attitude.
To be on the safe side, don't come to Beiyuan City during this time.
Su Yu sighed in his heart, he really killed a troublesome character.
Back in Stone Village, Su Yu told the master what had just happened, and by the way, he took this opportunity to see the master's attitude towards the Mo family.
Liu Shi's face turned red, and he said indignantly: "That Mo family, as always, bastards!" Many of his troops were recruited from the rogues, and they didn't take the lives of ordinary people seriously at all. ”
"During this time, you don't want to go to Beiyuan City, and I'll buy the medicinal materials needed for alchemy."
"Well, during this time, I have concentrated on studying alchemy." Su Yu nodded and said, he didn't want to go to Beiyuan City in the first place, and the province made an excuse not to go to Beiyuan City to buy medicinal materials.
As for the master's safety, the master's strength is in the Yunqi realm, which is much stronger than himself, so there is no need to worry about the master's personal safety.
"Okay, bring me the medicinal herbs you bought."
"Here, master."
Su Yu gave the packed ten medicinal herbs to the master.
The master took a closer look at it, nodded slightly, and said, "The quality is good, how much silver was spent." ”
"Thirty taels." Su Yu replied truthfully.
"It's not expensive, it's even cheap."
"Okay, I'll give you a specific demonstration, alchemy is the most practical operation, you look carefully, I will tell you any key points during the period, if you don't understand it, ask me directly."
Su Yu nodded slightly and asked, "By the way, master, what kind of medicinal herb is this Dan?" ”
"Strong Body Pill, your martial arts talent is good, although you haven't entered the Inner Strong Realm, you can also digest the medicinal effects of the Strong Body Pill in the Forging Body Realm." Liu Shi explained.
Recently, he had also observed Su Yu's cultivation of martial arts, and found that the help of Quenching Body Powder to Su Yu was getting less and less, so he had the idea of teaching Su Yu to refine the Zhuangqi Pill.
…… I just bought the Zhuangti Pill.
Su Yu felt a little lost, but after all, he had to use it after buying it, and when he thought about it, it wasn't a loss.
Liu Shi began to burn the fire and teach Su Yu alchemy.
"There are two main methods of alchemy, one is water alchemy, the main method is time-melting, drenching, sealing, boiling, boiling, raising, brewing, pointing, pouring, staining, and the other is fire alchemy, I will mainly explain fire alchemy to you."
"The fire method roughly includes, forging, refining, melting, flying, volting, and after a long period of high-temperature heating, the medicinal materials are mixed and melted into one, so as to refine the elixir."
"The most important thing is the grasp of the heat, the proportion of medicinal materials, if you don't grasp it well, the refined pills will become waste pills and have no value."
"There are a lot of tools needed for alchemy, such as grinders, stills, boiling pots, etc., but I have prepared all these things, so you don't have to bother to buy them."
"The first thing to start a fire is to use this high-grade coal with a very high carbon content, which can release higher temperatures."
With a snort, under the Dan furnace, the flame rises, the Dan furnace heats, and the willow stone pours clean water and waits for the furnace to heat.
The master began to grind the blue and white leaves until the juice was polished, and then began to roast the dried dragon yang fruit......
During the period, explaining various precautions, Su Yu also watched attentively and remembered various points.
Before you know it, an afternoon has passed.
The flame gradually extinguished, and there was a vague smell of medicine from the Dan furnace, Liu Shi wiped his sweat and said, "This furnace of Dan medicine is considered to have been practiced." ”
Liu Shi put on anti-scalding gloves, opened the furnace mouth, and took out nine pills, the pills had clear textures, the aroma was compelling, and the condition was much better than what Su Yu had just bought.
"It's not too early, you can practice by yourself tomorrow, and I will be by your side."
