Chapter 66: Learning Alchemy
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and Xu Chen's recovered seven-seven-eighty-eight has begun to jump around again like a little strong who can't be killed.
Senior Brother Nine and Zhao Xuan were both very surprised by Xu Chen's rapid recovery, but Xu Chen couldn't explain the reason, so the two could only treat him as a freak.
Fortunately, although Xu Chen recovered quickly, his cultivation was still as scummy as ever.
This made Senior Brother Nine feel a lot calmer.
After hearing that Xu Chen was well, the three elders specially summoned him to carefully inquire about what happened in the Linghu Mine, and Xu Chen made a report according to the truth and falsehood of the previous statement, and the three elders did not say anything.
The three elders of the Linghu Mine Cave have already gone to investigate, and indeed as Xu Chen said, it has now become almost the same as the Black Wind Ridge, and the black gas like thick smoke continues to erupt from the depths of the mine, submerging the entire Linghu Valley for several miles, a large number of trees and vegetation began to wither and wither, and a large number of beasts began to appear nearby, among which there were even many demon beasts with powerful breaths.
However, after all, the Linghu Mine Cave is not as big as the Black Wind Ridge Rift, so judging by the current scale, in the future, the Linghu Valley will become a dead land within a radius of ten miles, and the impact on Taiyuan Gate is not too great.
At present, this black smoke has rushed hundreds of feet into the air, and it can be faintly seen from the top of Chaoyang Peak.
And Xu Chen was actually even more worried, the disaster of the Taiyuan Gate should be related to the Xuanshui Youlian in the mine.
But he didn't know what the hell the Xuanshui Youlian was.
In addition, why Taiyuan Sect wanted to cultivate this Xuanshui Lotus in the first place, and what it wanted to use it for is also a mystery.
Xuanshui Youlian even resisted the blue jade bead that was an immortal weapon, and he was sure that this thing must also be a thing against the sky, and the grade might be in the true immortal realm, that is, it would exceed the seventh grade.
It's just that he has no basis for this idea.
At present, the strongest monk he has also seen the Great Elder Danchenzi and the Baiyun Zhenjun of the Yuqing Palace, and the Taiwu Zhenjun of Longmen Mountain, the three great monks of the Yuan Infant Stage, and he has never seen the monks of the True Spirit Realm, the top power of the Divine Spirit Realm to move mountains and reclaim the sea, there is no one in the entire Great Song Immortal Realm, and he is naturally even more unable to figure out the strength, as for the True Immortal of the Void Realm who refines the gods and returns to the void, they are all legendary figures, and he can't imagine it out of thin air.
But in any case, the Xuanshui Youlian has now been collected in the blue light treasure bottle, and he will have a lot of time to slowly contact it in the future, if he can refine such a powerful thing, it is estimated that his cultivation will definitely become very terrifying.
In the heart of every scumbag monk, there is a dream against the sky.
Xu Chen is the same.
Although he knew that his spiritual root was a mess, he might not be able to reach the late stage of the Kaiyuan Realm in this life, but what if.
Now that he has the blue jade bead that may be an immortal artifact, he has a lot more confidence.
After all, a dung scavenger who doesn't want to live forever is not a good monk.
Salted fish may also have one day to turn over, so Xu Chen is full of expectations for his future.
Coming out of the Three Elders' Alchemy Academy, Xu Chen went to visit Master Xuan and Zhenren again.
Xuanhe Zhenren's external injuries have all healed, but the cold internal injuries caused by the blow of the Spirit Transformation True Monarch are not easy to remove, and without the assistance of the special elixir, they can only rely on their own cultivation to slowly recover.
If it can't be completely cured, this hidden disease will definitely affect Yudan.
It would be nice if the kind of white qi released by the jade jewelry bottle on his body could be used for alchemy, Xu Chen thought and decided to go back and test it, but before the experiment, he still had to learn alchemy, so he decided to discuss it with Senior Brother Jiu.
……
"You want to learn alchemy?"
Senior Brother Jiu's jaw almost fell off with a face full of surprise.
"Yes, my cultivation is too low, and my spiritual root qualification is not good, I get injured every time I go out, I decided to learn some skills, even if I can't enter the True Yuan Realm in the future, I can help with alchemy on the mountain, so as not to become a waste wood in the Taiyuan Gate!" Xu Chen replied honestly.
Senior Brother Jiu patted him on the shoulder with emotion and said: "Little junior brother, I have always misjudged you, compared to you, I am just a waste wood, almost thirty years old and have not built a foundation, not to mention, Shizun taught me alchemy for a few years, until now I can't even refine a pindan, alas, that's it, if you want to learn, I will give you the Yipindan furnace I used." ”
Looking at the fist-sized and earthy yellow Dan Furnace magic weapon handed over by Senior Brother Jiu, Xu Chen said with a strange face: "I think you are boasting that I have bad intentions. ”
Senior Brother Nine said with a righteous face: "Nonsense, I am sincerely praising you, alchemy is really not my forte, the little junior brother has a strong sense of consciousness and a clear bone, as long as you are willing to learn, you will definitely become a great alchemist in the future, by the way, I still have a lot of Dan recipes and alchemy skills collected before, I will send you together!" ”
As he spoke, Senior Brother Jiu took out another handful of colorful jade slips.
Xu Chen: ......
Coming out of Senior Brother Jiu's courtyard, Xu Chen always felt that something was wrong.
However, looking at the first-grade magic weapon Dan furnace in his hand, he felt that he was a little bit of a villain's heart, and he really shouldn't think too much.
Senior Brother Jiu is good at everything, but he is not very reliable.
What has always haunted him is the second-grade gale gust spirit rune that hit Liang Feng, a disciple of the Yuqing Palace, at the beginning.
He remembered that when he escaped from the Black Wind Ridge, Senior Brother Jiu said that he had used up the spirit rune, but he didn't expect that it was still hidden on his body.
In addition, the last three-grade flame talisman that killed the white-clothed monk of the Ziyang Sect was even more inexplicable, at first Xu Chen felt that he had been deceived, and he also thought that it was still a first-grade phantom talisman.
The third-grade spirit rune, no matter where it is, is definitely a supreme magic weapon, even if it is a one-time spirit rune, it is also worth a lot of money, and it will not be cheaper than a second-grade top-level magic weapon.
This kind of one-time powerful magic weapon requires a lot of vitality and energy to be produced by the powerhouses of the Danyuan Realm, each of which is from the hands of a well-known monk, not to mention that there is no folk casual cultivation, even if it is a big faction like Longmen Mountain in the Yuqing Palace, it is a rare thing, and it will only be carried by those core elite disciples of the inner gate when they go out, and they must also be personal disciples.
Taiyuan Gate Great Elder Dan Chenzi had also made a few of them before, but they were only stored in the hands of the two elders and the second senior brother and the third senior brother and several other True Yuan Realm cultivators, and they were all regarded as treasures, not to mention that Xu Chen had never seen them, and the ninth senior brother could not see them either.
So where did this three-rank flame talisman come from?
Therefore, under the seemingly honest appearance of Senior Brother Jiu, there is a treacherous and skinny soul, which definitely belongs to the breed that cannot be trusted too much.
Here, Xu Chen had just left with the Dan furnace, and the Ninth Senior Brother went straight to the Dan Courtyard of the Third Elder, and then excitedly told the Third Elder that the alchemy disciples of the Dan Courtyard had a successor, and the junior brother Xu Chen was ready to take over.
The Third Elder was surprised and said, "He really wants to learn alchemy?" ”
Senior Brother Jiu hurriedly nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, and said with excitement on his face: "Really, really, he even wants to go to the first-grade alchemy furnace you gave me." ”
The third elder twitched cheeks, and finally sighed and said: "That's it, you are not an idle character, as a teacher, you shouldn't have accepted you in the first place, since Chen'er likes alchemy, it is also a good thing for my Taiyuan Gate, I will arrange this matter, you go, you don't need to stay in the Dan Courtyard in the future!" ”
Senior Brother Jiu immediately cheered away, as excited as a second ha out of the cage.
The third elder sat down with a dark face, but after a moment, a smile slowly appeared on his face.
Compared to Lu Yuan, Xu Chen, the youngest disciple of the Taiyuan Sect, has a good temperament, he is not greedy or quarrelsome, he can endure loneliness and loneliness, even if his cultivation is almost good, but his powerful divine sense is far stronger than that of ordinary Kaiyuan Realm cultivators, and he is the most suitable candidate for alchemy refiners, as long as he polishes it well for a few years, it will definitely be no problem to refine the first-grade and second-grade spirit pills, and if he can enter the True Yuan Realm, it is also very possible to refine the third-grade spirit pills.
Now that the Great Elder Danchenzi has successfully transformed into a spirit, the strength of the Taiyuan Sect has increased sharply, and the alchemy will inevitably be busier in the future, and it is indeed necessary to cultivate a successor.
Therefore, satisfied, the Third Elder's Divine Consciousness Transmission communicated with the Second Elder, who was in retreat in the ashram, to discuss the arrangements for this matter.
After all, Xu Chen is the personal disciple of the Second Elder, if he wants to teach Xu Chen alchemy, he can be regarded as having the status of master and apprentice, so he can't be too careless.
Of course, Xu Chen didn't know that he had been sold by Senior Brother Nine as soon as he turned around.
Holding the Dan furnace and humming a little song back to his cabin, he first read the jade slips about alchemy side by side, and after feeling the basic knowledge, he activated the Dan furnace, and in an instant, the palm-sized earthy yellow Dan furnace rose to the size of two feet, and fell in front of him with a clang.
The material of the Dan furnace is very ordinary, it is made of spiritual soil, and a small amount of Yuan Iron and Five Elements Crystal is used to create an inscription formation.
Because it is not a combat magic weapon, and there is no great practical value, even the soul locking array that ordinary magic weapons have is saved, as long as it is a monk, enter the vitality according to the control method, and activate the formation with divine sense.
According to the method of alchemy, Xu Chen put his hands on the Yuan Qi holes on both sides of the Dan Furnace, and constantly entered the Yuan Qi, and soon the formations inside the Dan Furnace were lit up one by one, slowly presenting a strange picture, a large number of criss-crossing and independent formations flickered with light and shadow, which was breathtaking.
Xu Chen was in contact with the Dan furnace for the first time.
Taiyuan Gate is very poor, any first-order magic weapon is a great thing, Senior Brother Jiu used to hide the Dan furnace as a treasure, and never showed it to him.
However, since returning from the mountain this time, after making a windfall, everyone's horizons have suddenly become much higher.
This Yipindan furnace was abandoned by him and thrown to Xu Chen.
In fact, Xu Chen had also thought about asking the three elders to learn alchemy before, but because his sense of existence was too low, and his strength was too rubbish, he never dared to speak, this time with the Dan furnace, he decided to explore it slowly first, and then he asked the three elders if he really didn't understand, according to his current contribution, the three elders would definitely not refuse.
