Zhang Cheng's alchemy was under the command of the town, and all the apprentices studied medicinal herbs, pharmacology, pills, and pills under Fan Dantong. After becoming proficient, he will become an alchemist's Dantong and start running errands.

Promoted to alchemist, Zhang Cheng was transferred, and this is the place where alchemists do their daily alchemy. He now has two Dantongs under his command, and he can apply for a batch of medicinal materials every month, and in addition to completing the designated pills that must be handed in every month, the rest of the time can be used to develop and try new Dan prescriptions.

Zhang Cheng is fond of alchemy.

He likes the kind of thing that makes all kinds of inconspicuous things, even poisons and wastes, through steaming, drying, filtering, pounding, grinding, etc., and finally turns them into pills in the Dan furnace. Anything that seems ordinary can be an indispensable part of a certain elixir.

It's like the phrase that is circulated among alchemists.

"Heaven and earth are the furnace of Dan, and all things can be refined."

This is the experience summed up by the continuous exploration and exploration of alchemists in the past generations.

Heaven and earth are the best alchemy masters, and people must follow heaven and earth in order to learn the natural principles of all things.

Because of this, alchemists go to the wilderness every month to walk in the wilderness, to feel nature, mountains and seas, and to visit ruins and medicinal materials, all in order to be able to obtain new pills.

It's easy for Zhang Cheng to go out.

He was worried about his younger brother Zhang Ye.

The alchemist is notoriously strict. This is also because the alchemy practiced by alchemists will always involve some more dangerous operations and reactions, which must be strictly controlled.

Alchemy has a core idea – to understand, disintegrate, and reconstruct.

This is somewhat similar to the alchemist's Heaven and Earth Dan Furnace, which is an easy-to-understand induction, but it also points to the essence through complex phenomena.

Each preparation to build an alchemy device requires the preparation and use of a large amount of materials, and strictly follows the corresponding alchemical formulas and symbols.

The Dan furnace used by Zhang Cheng is an alchemical creation.

It looks like an iron kettle, but it needs to be made of high-temperature volcanic clay, china clay, crystal, and special fine sand to create the embryo body of the crucible. Then after shaping, the molten iron is fired, sulfur, salt, dansha, etc. are added, and it is repeatedly quenched and verified, which is called washing the furnace.

After the transformation of the furnace embryo is completed, it is also necessary to soak it in the reaction tank and seal a layer of yellow iron sand on the outer layer, which is used to seal and stand to avoid corrosion.

Then it will be given to those who need it.

Most of these materials for alchemy are high-risk goods. Like the reaction pool, it is actually a strong corrosive liquid that is purified after the toxic rain is concentrated, and dansha and sulfur are also lethal things, not to mention the process of burning molten iron, the slightest mistake will cause a catastrophe.

Among them, the most mysterious core steps are:

Transformation is at the heart of alchemy, that is, ordinary copper, iron, and stone are converted into non-existent materials or substances through specific alchemical symbols and formulas.

For example, the most critical thing in the Dan furnace is the outer wall. As a mysterious material transformed from alchemy, fire silver has two characteristics: one is that it is very active at high temperatures, which can further concentrate the high temperature and is not easy to lose, and the other is that its temperature distribution is very uniform and it is not easy to fry the oven.

In addition to the difficulty of asking for leave from the metalworking office, Zhang Cheng also has his own considerations.

His younger brother, Zhang Ye, has always been obsessed with alchemy, tinkering with various materials, drawing drawings, cutting materials with ink threads, and making various tools.

Zhang Cheng couldn't bear to interrupt his younger brother's cultivation path.

At least wait for him to become an alchemist before leaving, and with this departure, Zhang Ye will never get such a good opportunity to study alchemy.

Zhang Cheng remained unmoved.

The core of the entire 36 towns of Jindan Country is alchemy and alchemy, and the name of the country is taken from these two crafts.

Jindan Kingdom takes the mountain god as its belief and national totem, and the capital of the country is built under the Heavenly Mandate Mountain, and the Heavenly Mandate Mountain is the place where the mountain god inhabits and cultivates.

Every year, the Heavenly Mandate Mountain grows a little taller, which means that the mountain god is recovering. Until the Heavenly Mandate Mountain towers above the clouds and reaches into the sky, it means that the mountain god has completely recovered, and the curse of the entire world will be washed away.

And on the secular level, the name of the lord of the Jindan Kingdom, he is also the prophet of the gods, the person closest to the mountain god, with the ability to turn mountains and seas, and is mysterious.

The first old man's mountain was made by Feng Danzi using a spell to move the mountain and change the route, which was widely spread.

In the past, whether it was the mountain god, Feng Danzi or the old man's mountain, they were enough to make people proud.

Now all of this is covered with a layer of darkness and gloom.

The glossy shell of the whole world was torn apart by the Broken Delirium Pill, and the bloody conspiracy and cruelty and tyranny below were all laid out naked in front of him, making Zhang Cheng feel a huge pressure, for fear of attracting the attention of Feng Danzi and even the mountain god.

He tried to make himself normal and not show any flaws.

But he still can't help but use the Delusion Pill to see the world again.

The alchemist always pursues all kinds of changes in nature, and he also wants to see the real appearance of this place.

Zhang Cheng found that the vast majority of people in Jindan Kingdom, where monsters inhabit, are on the chest, close to the heart. It is also the place where everyone gets the seal of God.

There is no doubt that it was the mountain god who implanted monsters in people's bodies.

As people get older, these monsters mature until they eventually break out.

But what made Zhang Cheng puzzled was that he didn't feel the existence of a monster in his body at all, and he hadn't heard anyone say that something was drilling around in his stomach and chest.

Why is that?

As he looked patiently, he noticed that the monster was different from what he had thought, with an elliptical and irregular head, and some oddly shaped, lumpy bodies that didn't seem to be clustered together.

However, Zhang Cheng quickly reacted.

The monster ...... It's the internal organs of people!

The human internal organs were awakened by the divine seal and connected into a monster in the body!

Zhang Cheng only felt a chill in his back.

What the mountain god wants is everyone's internal organs...... So use people to raise these organs.

The entire Jindan country is a human and livestock pasture for the mountain gods.

This terrible secret kept him awake, but he couldn't tell anyone.

Just as he was getting thinner and more restless, he suddenly heard a rumor.

The alchemist, who came back from going out, said that he saw Monk Qing haunting the nearby mountains from a distance, and knocking on wooden fish.

Monk Naqing is said to be a hermit in the countryside who lived for hundreds of years, and he is also the target of the Jindan Kingdom Divine Guard. However, there is also a folk saying that this old monk is very clever and sees through the secrets of life and death, so if you are lucky enough to meet him, you will have the opportunity to get the method of immortality from him.

Zhang Cheng immediately applied to Danfang to go out to find medicine, and did not let Dantong accompany him.

He went all the way into the mountain in the direction the alchemist said.

The front foot is still the sun, and it rains poisonously in the sky before entering the mountain, and it is already a common sight in the mountains to rain while the sun comes out.

The poisonous rain was dripping and falling like oil, and Zhang Cheng hurriedly ran to a mountain rock to take shelter from the rain with a thousand-layer umbrella.

Although he was wearing a medicine collection suit from Danfang, with a thick linen cloth on the outside and a pigskin armor on the inside, he was still at risk when he got wet.

Zhang Cheng covered his face with a medicated cloth to avoid inhaling too much poisonous gas.

The poisonous rain caused bursts of loud frogs.

Zhang Cheng lit an insect-repellent incense.

A small amount of smoke drifted away, bringing with it the aroma of herbs, which made the small humming around it a lot less.

Poisonous insects are the most dangerous when they go out, and many people die from poisonous insects every year. Some of the injured people did not even react, and it was not until they were extremely uncomfortable that they found a swollen wound on their body that had been bitten.

The alchemist is also extremely careful about this.

The rain seemed to be endless, and even became heavier.

Zhang Cheng silently took out a handful of fried rice and stuffed it into his mouth, and filled the hunger in his stomach with the water in the leather bag.

In the rain, he suddenly saw a figure.

The figure was tall, wearing an extremely wide hat and a blue shirt, and walked slowly in the rain, knocking on the wooden fish all the way.

You can still hear him saying it.

"His life is like floating, and his death is like rest."

"The traces of the ancients on the thousand-year-old stone, a little empty in front of the rock."

Zhang Cheng was overjoyed.

These characteristics are the green monks.

However, for the sake of safety, Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth and swallowed three delirium pills.

Then, after a cramp in his abdomen, he saw that the figure of the monk in Tsing Yi was dim, as if it might disappear at any time. The other party only had one eye, and the shadow under his feet disappeared without a trace, but there was nothing abnormal other than that.

To Zhang Cheng's surprise, the monk did not have a divine seal and a visceral monster in his body.

Zhang Cheng was puzzled.

Do the immortals have no shadows?

However, he resisted the dizziness and ran all the way with an umbrella.

"Excuse me, but Master Qing?"

"The master doesn't dare to be a monk, the layman can call the poor monk and the young monk." Monk Qing's voice is generous, even if he only has one eye, it is not scary.

Zhang Cheng wiped the blood from his nose with a handkerchief and said, "Xiaosheng Zhang Cheng, I want to ask the master to solve my doubts." ”

"Does the master know that the mountain god is the biggest demon in this world?"

"I know a little bit about it."

Zhang Cheng was overjoyed, and immediately talked about his experience during this period of time, the departure of his mother, the dry bones and remnants in the old man's mountain, and the marks and monsters on everyone's body...... He was full of frustration and finally found someone to talk to.

After listening to this, the young monk said: "What the layman sees is a secret that is difficult for the world to see, and all living beings may not know it. ”

"I don't understand, why is this happening?"

Zhang Cheng looked pained.

"Why is this so?"

The green monk also whispered: "If you want to understand all this, you need the layman to go to enlightenment himself, and the poor monk is also on the way." However, floating life is like a dream, and laymen don't need to be too afraid, there is already great terror between life and death. ”

Zhang Cheng keenly felt that the other party must know something.

"If you don't dislike it, Zhang Cheng wants to worship the master as a teacher, follow the master to walk and enlighten! Please take it again! ”

Monk Qing's one-eyed only blinked: "Are you really sure you want to worship the poor monk as a teacher?" The poor monk is wanted and hunted down from all over the place, and the poor monk has a cause and effect, and you will inevitably hide in this life, and the danger is everywhere. But here with the poor monk, you will still encounter life and death worries, have you really thought clearly? ”

"The disciple has thought clearly!"

Zhang Cheng thought that if he could become the apprentice of the capable young monk, he and his younger brother would have a place to go.

"Okay."

Monk Qing smiled: "I know, you want to escape from the mountain god. I'll give you a token, take this, decide to come, and come to me. I can interpret the imprint left by the mountain god. ”

He tore off a piece of cyan cloth and handed it to Zhang Cheng, and then continued to staggered forward, blending into the rain amid the sound of wooden fish.

Two months later, Zhang Ye successfully obtained the alchemist qualification.

On that day, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Yexingye left the village and went all the way to the Qing monk.

However, after meeting, Monk Qing's first words made the two brothers a little at a loss.

"I need you to go back and continue to hibernate over there."

Monk Qing looked at the two brothers with one eye.

Zhang Cheng scolded in his heart.

Gan Lin Niang!!
