The master is an enigmatic person.

Alchemist has no concept of common sense that everyone knows.

For example, the meatloaf handed to her by Zhang Xiaokai, she always ate it with oiled paper, as if the two were a combination, and she ate it with relish.

Zhang Xiaokai was scared, but he didn't dare to say it.

It was still the senior sister Sha Li who spoke: "Master, the paper in Shacheng can't be eaten, although it is bamboo paper, it is not thin enough, and it doesn't have any taste at all, I ate it when I was young." Only some of the candy wrappers in the restaurant taste good, and they are made from flour pulp. ”

"That's it, no wonder it's not delicious."

Zhang Xiaokai probably understands why Sha Li can become his senior sister.

She is closer to the master.

Alchemists wear long green robes, because alchemy will often get dirty, and Shali will take it to wash.

Shacheng is a laundry equipped with a water element crystal structure, and for a little money, you can get a laundry sink and scrub it with the water element. If you want to be more convenient, you can also leave it to the laundry to clean or even dry, but that is much more expensive.

Strangely, Alchemist didn't care about taking off his robe in public.

At that time, Zhang Xiaokai was so frightened that he didn't have time to turn around. She took off too quickly, and with a slight tug of her belt, the whole dress slipped down.

However, inside the alchemy was another green robe of the same style.

No matter how you take it off, how many pieces you take off, there is always another identical piece of clothing inside, which makes Zhang Xiaokai feel very weird.

How does a person put so many clothes on his body?

The master really likes this style.

Then there are the masks.

At first, Zhang Xiaokai thought that there were some scars on the master's face, or that he couldn't be seen by others. But when she eats, she pulls down her mask indifferently, whether it is a small nose or red lips, it is very normal, and it is peugeot.

Zhang Xiaokai asked boldly this time.

Alchemist said: "There is a person I like very much, who also wears a similar decoration, I learned from her, but changed it slightly. ”

It turned out to be decorative.

These are only relatively deviant from the public, and the master's alchemy is incredible.

Under normal circumstances, the alchemist has to heat and adjust the Dan furnace through various fuels, so that the various medicines inside can become dry and precipitate impurities, whether it is minerals, plants, leather and bones, a suitable temperature is also needed for the reaction to occur.

High temperature is the inevitable state of Dan furnace.

Therefore, the alchemist itself is a very draining profession. Because you need to stare at the Dan furnace and pay attention to its refining, but you can't get too close, otherwise you will burn yourself.

When I first saw it, the master was still refining in a regular and serious way.

But after Zhang Xiaokai became a disciple, she stopped pretending, directly buckled the small crucible on her head, and slept and walked with the pot on top every day. She's always steaming hot on her head, and the heat is amazing.

Alchemist explained: "This kind of overhead alchemy is more accurate, and it can confirm the temperature and the reaction of the medicine at any time. ”

She didn't say why she was able to heat the crucible with her head.

Zhang Xiaokai also specially compared the pills refined by the Dan Furnace on the top of the master's head, what was the difference between what she had refined with normal methods before.

Facts have proved that the "Powerful Pill" refined by the master with the overhead method is indeed more effective.

The most terrifying thing is that this strong pill has a strange fragrance.

Is it the smell of the master's hair?

Zhang Xiaokai secretly observed that although the alchemist had an upside-down pill furnace alchemy on her head, her long white hair was still dense and there was no trace of damage.

is obviously an alchemy master, but the master is completely ignorant of the world.

Perhaps this is the reason for focusing on alchemy.

Alchemist didn't seem to be satisfied with the "Mighty Pill", so she adjusted the recipe and continued to try to refine it.

Zhang Xiaokai asked Senior Sister Sha Li in private.

"Senior sister, in this situation, what kind of elixir do you want to refine?"

"I don't know."

"The master likes you the most, didn't he tell you about it?"

"But I don't know how to make alchemy, the master only asked me to burn a more exquisite enamel medicine bottle, preferably like a necklace and a sachet, and it is not abrupt to wear with me."

Zhang Xiaokai thought about it too.

Alchemy has a Dan furnace on his head every day, and he is extremely focused.

The days passed.

One day, she suddenly took out a few bottles of elixir and said, "You go and sell these elixirs for money, I need a box of spell boxes, as well as the matching common elemental crystals and rose talismans, as well as sugar, salt, and honey...... and other condiments and spices that can be found on the market. ”

At this time, Zhang Xiaokai realized that the master didn't seem to be good at dealing with people, and he had never seen her enter the city, and the senior sister was also a master who only met when she was outside firing enamel.

But it doesn't matter.

Importantly, the master sent a surprising signal.

She wants to integrate elementalism and talisman science into alchemy.

Zhang Xiaokai was excited: "Master, do you want to use magic talismans to make pills?" ”

"Hmm. The talisman comes with a wealth of spell models, and many of the spells in it have reference significance for alchemy. Alchemy has an awkward positioning, it is between potions and traditional medicines, it is not as strong as potions, and the harm to side effects is greater than that of traditional medicines. ”

"I think that the stagnation of the process has limited the development and progress of the elixir."

Alchemist said with a firm look in his eyes: "According to the classical craftsmanship of alchemy, only natural raw materials such as minerals, plants, and animals are used. Of course, this is a very safe path, because after many years of accumulation, people have a relatively clear understanding of these substances, and know their properties and risks. ”

"But this also locks in the changes and combinations of the elixir."

"According to the Yao clan's current alchemy technology, the pills that can be refined can be covered by the potions. Potions have no limits on themselves, and there are now special devices dedicated to matching potions. ”

"For example, the fire element's arm guard can stimulate flesh, the ice element's knee guard can reduce pain, and the outer armor that can squeeze and stimulate the shoulders and waist, with potion conditioning, and the crystal structure tester is used to compare the blood elemental ......"

"The development of potions far surpasses that of alchemy, and the accumulation itself is much earlier and more. Now the special food in the guest city is also gaining momentum, and in addition to the short shelf life, the diet therapy can also meet the daily needs of many people. ”

"The advantage of the elixir itself is that it has a long shelf life and can be used by anyone, unlike magic potions, which require the guidance of a special pharmacist."

"Alchemists need to develop more diverse pills to meet the needs of most people."

Zhang Xiaokai nodded violently when he heard this.

Although the master often doesn't know anything about daily affairs, he has a clear understanding in the field of alchemy, and he hits the nail on the head.

"Master, why don't you go to Jindan Kingdom! There are all kinds of alchemy props and raw materials over there, after all, it is the source of the alchemy of the Yao people, although it is relatively old-fashioned, but the local alchemy is also the most complete. ”

"My hometown is in Zhangzhen, Jindan Kingdom, and I know the situation over there."

Zhang Xiao thought happily.

This time, I took the master back and showed the group of stiff-minded, old-fashioned and rigid alchemists what it means to have a sky outside the sky and someone outside the world.

The senior sister next to her, Sha Li, suddenly said: "Jindan Country is a holy place for alchemists, why don't you stay in your hometown for alchemy?" ”

It's really a pot that can't be opened.

Zhang Xiaokai also had to confess: "I was originally an alchemy apprentice in the Danfang subordinate to the Dan Department of the Jindan Kingdom. However, when I was refining the Dan, I wanted to develop a new method, so I added a variety of elements to it, and tried to use magic talismans to connect the Dan Furnace, so that it would not have to be stared at all the time, and if there was an abnormality, it would make a whistle-like sound. ”

"However, in further attempts, I did not think it through, which led to the explosion of the Dan furnace, which also exposed the matter. Then I was determined by the alchemists of Danfang to have carried out a serious dangerous operation, and the circumstances were extremely serious, and I did not report and standardize the operation in accordance with the regulations...... In fact, I have already declared it a few times before, and I can't pass it at all. ”

"In that incident, I was banned from participating in the alchemist assessment for five years, and my apprenticeship status was canceled. This kind of punishment will remain on the resume of the alchemist, and I can't start as a Dantong in my hometown, no Danfang will want me, and the same is true for the alchemists. ”

The young man stuffed a piece of sweet gum into his mouth: "Don't look at me as only fifteen years old, but my career as an alchemist is actually over." ”

"So I'm just going to get out of there and come here. There are also some shops in Shacheng that will recruit alchemists and assistants, alchemists are mainly gatekeepers, and I am here as an assistant to save money, preparing to participate in the examination of the Forest Academy to become a pharmacist in the future, which is relatively close to the alchemist. ”

But Alchemist said, "Aren't your adults worried about you? ”

Zhang Xiaokai couldn't cry or laugh.

Master, I said my career was over, and you asked me what my family thinks.

"My family collects waste products from the Green Cloth family, which is to sort and process all kinds of things they bring back and send them to various places to make some hard-earned money. My family thinks it's nothing, thinking that I'm healthy, my brain is normal, and I can live anywhere. ”

Alchemist suddenly came back to his senses: "Ah, go shopping, I'm in a hurry here." ”

Zhang Xiaokai and Sha Li immediately rushed to Shacheng to sell pills.

There were no rivals in the market for the master's "Mighty Pill", so Zhang Xiaokai directly found the auction house, consigned it to the other side at a high price, and bought things first after taking the advance payment.

Within two days, the owner of the auction house came in a hurry and brought a large sum of money. He asked Zhang Xiaokai to hand over all the strong pills to him to sell, and promised to pay half of the minimum amount in advance for each one.

In just one month, Dalimaru dominated the Shacheng pill market, and even the wind collectors of the "Shacheng Mansion Daily" heard the news and wanted to interview the alchemist, but they were refused.

In addition, many people came to this cactus area, and they were surprised that the alchemist who refined the Great Pill was so young and beautiful. Many of them are photographed from a distance, and some come directly to give gifts and sets.

Alchemist said at this time: "Let's go to Jindan Kingdom." ”

Zhang Xiaokai was overjoyed: "Master, you have finally figured it out, with your ability, you should stand up and raise the banner of modern alchemy!" As long as you show your alchemy and elixir, everything will be fine! Alchemy will enter a new era! ”

"It has nothing to do with that."

Alchemist waved his hand: "There are too many people here, I don't like to talk to strangers, they affect my alchemy very much." The Jindan Congress is a lot quieter, right? ”

Zhang Xiaokai said.

"Your choice is too right, master, there is nothing else in Jindan Kingdom, it is just quiet."

The three masters and apprentices hired a car to check in their luggage and stoves, and all the way to Zhangzhen in Jindan Kingdom.

As a result, on the first day of arrival, there was lightning and thunder all over the place, which surprised Sha Li very much.

"Why is it thunder and not rain here? Oops, I'm afraid outdoor firing won't work. ”

Zhang Xiaokai explained: "That's the case, the development of pills has been relatively slow in recent years, but the supporting alchemy spells are emerging in endlessly...... That is, when the high-level elixir is about to be completed, it will be combined with specific spells to enhance the sense of power it shows, which can improve the persuasiveness of the elixir. It is easy to increase the price and make buyers feel premium. ”

"Recently, it is winter, with little rain and dryness, and it is also the peak season for alchemy. It's fine after these days. ”

Alchemist was very interested: "This idea is powerful, it is more intuitive than the enamel container I thought." Increasing persuasion and trust is also a very important step for the elixir. It is worthy of being the hometown of elixir, and you should be able to learn a lot here. ”

"Then we'll come too!"

The master raised his hand and pointed.

Suddenly, a vague object with a black shadow slowly rose from the ground. The thing stretched out its hand-like limbs and lifted the Dan furnace, and suddenly a surging force rose into the sky, blasting the sky out of a huge hole, and you could even see the void outside.

In contrast, the other lightning and thunder have become completely petty fights.

The feeling of oppression released from the black shadow made Zhang Xiaokai sweat profusely and unable to move.

This power is ...... Divinity.

Master, this is it, summoned a god to help?

Zhang Xiaokai's mind went blank.
