Chapter 199: Teacher Zhuang Manli

"Hello Ling Gongzi, not long after you left, a senior alchemist named Zhuang Manli offered to be your teacher, I don't know what your opinion is?"

The delicate girl asked with a smile on her face.

"Zhuang Manli?"

Ling Jiuqiu looked at each other in surprise.

"That's right."

As if she knew what Ling Jiuqiu was surprised by, the beautiful girl explained: "The other party also has an identity as the vice president of the Yanlong Martial Arts Academy, which is the Lord Zhuang Manli that Ling Gongzi knows. ”

Ling Jiuqiu nodded hurriedly: "I agree, please help me contact Dean Zhuang." ”

Although she didn't know why Zhuang Manli would take the initiative to accept him as an apprentice, Ling Jiuqiu naturally wouldn't refuse such a good thing.

There is a vice dean as a teacher, and if something happens in the academy in the future, there will also be a strong backstage.

What's more, there are probably not a few third-order alchemists in the entire Tongyuan City, and each of them is a super big man, and he is fully qualified to teach himself the art of alchemy.

Soon, under the leadership of the waiter, Ling Jiuqiu came to Zhuang Manli's exclusive alchemy room on the fifth floor of the Alchemist Association.

As one of the top alchemists in the Tongyuan City Branch of the Alchemist Association, Zhuang Manli's exclusive alchemy room is spacious and bright, and the decoration is so beautiful that it is not like an ordinary alchemy room, but more like a woman's boudoir.

Ling Jiuqiu glanced at the surrounding decorations, and bowed respectfully to say hello: "I've seen Dean Zhuang." ”

At this time, Zhuang Manli was wearing a low-key black robe, completely enveloping her delicate body.

The white skin on the neck is as white as snow, but against the background of the pure black robe, it looks even whiter, like a glowing white jade.

"Ling Jiuqiu, since you are here, you must be willing to be my apprentice."

Zhuang Manli said straight to the point.

Ling Jiuqiu nodded: "Yes, teacher." ”

Zhuang Manli laughed.

This smile is like a hundred flowers blooming, bright and moving.

She is also a person with a cheerful personality, and said directly: "Okay, from today on, you are my Zhuang Manli's apprentice, and I will teach you all the experience of alchemy, I hope you can study it seriously." ”

"Okay, teacher!"

"Before that, you tell me first, do you know about alchemy, have you ever learned?"

"I used to read a book called Introduction to Alchemy, and before I came here, I rented an alchemy room in the association and practiced it a few times, but other than that, I didn't know much about it."

"Beginner to alchemy?"

Zhuang Manli nodded and said, "That book is from the Alchemist Association, and it explains the basic knowledge of alchemy in great detail, if you memorize all that book, it will be much easier to get started." ”

"So, tell me if you got any insights from the process of practicing by yourself just now?"

Ling Jiuqiu pondered for a moment, organized his language a little, and then spoke:

"Through the practice just now, I think the most important thing in the alchemy process is the cooperation between the eyes and the hands."

"It is necessary to have an accurate judgment on every step in the alchemy process and make the most accurate response, so that you can truly master alchemy."

Zhuang Manli nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right, whether it's quenching or the process of fusion, you need to have extremely high eyesight and judge the state of the spiritual fluid at any time, so that you can react as quickly as possible and adjust the temperature of the flame, otherwise the quenching will be easy to fail."

"Not to mention the fusion step, without enough eyesight, it is impossible to separate the spiritual fluid into an accurate proportion, which directly affects the final elixir efficacy."

"Secondly, it is dexterous, even if the eyesight is strong enough to accurately judge the proportion of several kinds of spiritual fluid, but if you don't have enough control in your hands, you can't accurately divide the spiritual liquid."

"And all of that, it takes a lot of practice, practice makes perfect."

"But in addition to eyesight and dexterity, there is one thing you have overlooked, and the most important one - and that is fire."

Ling Jiuqiu was at a loss: "Fire? ”

"That's right, it's fire."

Zhuang Manli said with a serious face:

"Whether it's the process of quenching or the process of fusion, at some point, it needs to be driven by extremely high temperatures."

"Therefore, the higher the temperature at which a flame can be mastered, the better, and the temperature of the flame that a person can master depends on the purity of true qi essence, that is, on cultivation, and on the level of martial soul."

"The higher the cultivation, the higher the level of the martial soul, the greater the range of flame temperature that can be controlled, and the greater the potential of alchemy."

"But often novice alchemists are new to the Spirit Sea Realm, and the true qi is relatively insufficient, and most of the alchemy process will be dominated by natural fire, and only a small amount of true qi will be released to control the flames."

"This is indeed a lot more convenient, and it also saves true qi, but after all, the temperature of natural fire is much lower than that of real fire, which will affect the efficiency of alchemy, and even affect the success rate of alchemy."

"Speaking of which, you should know why I took the initiative to accept you as an apprentice, right?"

Ling Jiuqiu said thoughtfully: "It's because I'm more durable than ordinary people." ”

After speaking, he suddenly realized that something seemed wrong with his words, but when he saw that Zhuang Manli was unaware, he fell silent.

Zhuang Manli smiled slightly.

"That's right, your performance in the ring that day showed me your staying power far beyond ordinary people."

"And durability is an extremely important ability for alchemists, especially for novice alchemists, it affects the success rate of alchemy."

"In addition, your Fire Element Martial Soul level does not seem to be low, and your martial arts talent is also very strong, which also means that your martial arts path can go further in the future, and the alchemist potential will be stronger."

"By the way, what level is your Fire Elemental Martial Soul? Show me. ”

When Ling Jiuqiu heard this, he immediately activated his martial soul imprint, and displayed the fire element imprint of the lower grade of the ground level in the center of his eyebrows.

Zhuang Manli nodded approvingly.

"Yes, awaken the dual martial souls, and the level of the two martial souls is not low, it seems that your potential is really amazing."

"So, let me teach you some basic tips for alchemy."

"Let's start with the quenching step."

Zhuang Manli began to explain some of the experiences in the alchemy process, and occasionally took out an ordinary spirit grass and put it into the Dan furnace for quenching for Ling Jiuqiu.

Occasionally, Ling Jiuqiu was also asked to get started in person, and he was on the side to give instructions.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

Zhuang Manli stopped teaching, took out a codex and handed it to Ling Jiuqiu.

"This is the basic experience of alchemy that I wrote, you can take a look at it when you have time, and by the way, practice a few more times in addition to cultivation."

"This time next week, I'll put you to the test to see if your quenching improves."

Ling Jiuqiu took the codex and thanked him sincerely.

"Thank you, teacher, I'll practice well."

"Alright, you can go back."

"Yes."

Ling Jiuqiu owed a debt and turned to leave.
