Chapter 46, the Zhong brothers
Chapter 46, the Zhong brothers
During the holidays, the campus is deserted and quiet, and Qingshi practices daily martial arts and martial arts array Dan Dao diligently, occasionally taking a walk by the lake, lotus pond and hills, or driving a boat to several small islands in Dalu Lake.
When the weather is bad, I don't go out to get a meal at home and pour myself a drink, in addition to being lonely, life is also moisturizing.
At dusk on this day, the bluestone cultivation Qingfeng finger reached the state of Dacheng, and he was happy, and went out to take a walk on the edge of the lotus pond, and just walked to a long corridor, and met a person head-on, who had a fat head, big ears and a big belly, and it was Elder Zhong Buli.
Qingshi didn't expect to meet him here, so he had to call Elder Zhong to prepare to slip away, but Fat Zhong seemed to have premeditated, with a big belly, the narrow corridor was suddenly almost crowded, and it was difficult to pass sideways.
"Qingshi," Zhong Fatzi said with a smile, "Why don't you go home for the New Year?" ”
"I'm too far away to go back," Qingshi had to reply, "Why doesn't Elder Zhong go home for the New Year?" ”
"School is my home!" Zhong Fatzi said with a smile, "Since I happened to meet it so coincidentally today, classmate Qingshi will go to my house to sit down, it just so happens that I am researching a five-star elixir, which can be used for you to take a look and learn to study." ”
"Five-star Dan? Where am I qualified to learn the Five-Star Pill at my level, I should consult the elders later. "Where is Qingshi willing to believe Zhong Fatzi's words, although he doesn't know his purpose, but guess that he probably doesn't have any good intentions, and now he can't reveal his identity as an uncle, so it's better to stay away from him.
"Let's go, and I won't charge you tuition." Zhong Fatzi grabbed the bluestone, and couldn't help but pull it up and leave.
Qingshi had no choice but to say okay, I'll go, you better let it go, but I thought that one day I can identify myself and see if you dare to do this.
The two turned around the small hill by the lotus pond, and soon came to a single-family residential area, where there are about 20 single-family houses, all of which are three-storey high, with large houses, wide intervals, and beautiful trees, no more than two miles away from the teaching area of the inner courtyard of Dandao, which is the residence of the elders of Dandao.
Zhong Fatzi's house number is No. 4 Danyu Road, and when he enters the door, Qingshi finds that there are a bunch of medicine boxes and a bunch of books in the spacious living room, a bundle of medicinal materials is stacked here, and there are tools there, and a huge wooden table with a lot of bottles and cans is also crooked and crooked.
Zhong Fatzi was still smiling, and said to Qingshi: "Qingshi, since you are here, let's take a look at this five-star Min Su Dan." As he spoke, he took out a piece of Danfang and handed it to Qingshi.
Qingshi took it and read it carefully, it turned out that this Min Su Pill was an elixir refined with the essence and blood of a sixth-level spirit beast Wind Monkey as the main material, and the monk could improve his agility and speed for a certain period of time after taking it, and the increase could be up to fifty percent, and the time could last for up to two hours. Of course, such an elixir is very good.
For bluestone, as long as you remember that the Danfang includes the type and amount of materials, even if you don't know the specific method of refining, you can basically find out.
Although this Dan prescription is complicated, Qingshi just remembered it clearly after reading it once, and secretly thought that Zhong Fat Man had taken the wrong medicine, why did he suddenly be so good to himself, and gave a five-star Dan prescription with a very high value to himself for nothing.
Zhong Fatzi waited for the bluestone to finish reading, and said with a smile: "Danfang remember, remember it, let's start refining." As he spoke, he began to sort out the medicinal herbs.
Qingshi was surprised, could it be that Zhong Fatzi not only gave himself Danfang, but also taught himself how to refine on the spot, which was too unexpected for Qingshi.
While cutting the rhizome of a medicinal herb, Zhong Fatzi said to Qingshi: "Don't be idle, come, process this black guan fruit to remove the toxicity." As he spoke, he threw over a black fruit the size of an apple.
In the basic course of medicinal materials in the college, there is no introduction to the black guan fruit, but the bluestone of this fruit is recognized, and it is recorded in the Dahuang Yudan Sutra.
At that moment, Qingshi took a small pot, poured water on it, and put it on a stove rack to prepare to boil water and boil the fruit.
But the fat man Zhong said, "Do you want to boil it in water?" No, no, although it is poisoned after cooking, most of the medicinal properties are not cooked, no. ”
"So what should be done?" Qingshi humbly asked.
"Well, even if I test you, you can try it yourself, only to remove the poison, not to damage the medicinal properties." Zhong Fat Man said without raising his head.
Qingshi dug out his heart and thought for a long time, and finally said: "I really can't think of a way, and I ask the elders for advice." ”
"There's really no way?" Fat Zhong glared and said, "Think again." ”
Qingshi thought about it again, but he still couldn't think of a way to only remove the toxicity without damaging the properties of the medicine, so he had to smile bitterly, "I really have no way!" ”
"Cut~ Aren't you kid quite capable?" Zhong Fatzi became excited, "You can even melt the poison of the old dean, how can there be no way to do this little poison?" ”
"It's easy to get rid of the poison, and there are five ways to do it," Qingshi said aggrievedly, "but it's difficult to completely not damage the medicinal properties." Please also ask the elders for advice. ”
"Shhhh I want to know that I am still looking for you......" Zhong Fatzi said excitedly, and quickly stopped, coughed dryly, and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, how did you resolve the toxins in the old dean's body, so clever means can't solve such a small fruit?" ”
"Ah~ That's what it looks like!" Qingshi nodded while staring at Zhong Fatzi and said, "Why did I say that I was so kind, it turned out to be a trap for me!" ”
Qingshi finally understood the fat man's intentions, it turned out that he just couldn't poison this black guan fruit without damaging the medicinal properties, so he wanted to ask Qingshi for help, but this old boy's way of acting was unique.
"Qingshi-san," Zhong Fatzi said embarrassedly, "how can this be called a set?" As I just said, at most, it's a test for you, think about it again, I know you must have a way, and if you succeed, I will give you benefits. ”
"Last time, you asked me to find students for you to teach, saying that it was for me to benefit," Qingshi said, "I recruited so many students for you, what about your benefits?" ”
"Didn't I praise you?" Zhong Fatzi said, "That time I met after class, I also praised you for 'doing a good job'." ”
"Cut~" Qingshi sneered disdainfully.
"By the way, this year-end comprehensive evaluation, only me and Lao Jin will give you excellent ones." Zhong Fatzi said, "Besides, I gave you all the pills of this five-star Min Su Dan, isn't it a benefit?" ”
Qingshi thought about it, so he had to say: "Okay, you have a point, but I really can't help it!" ”
"Alas!" Zhong Fatzi finally spoke normally, "Yes, I have thought of countless methods, but it doesn't work, but it doesn't make sense, if you can't only poison and not damage the medicinal properties, then isn't this Dan prescription a waste prescription?" So, there must be a way, but we didn't find it, I thought you were a master of dissolving poisons, but I didn't expect you to have no way, this is really ......"
Zhong Fatzi shook his head helplessly as he spoke, and then meditated with his hands on his cheeks.
Qingshi secretly thought that although this fat man was weird, he was actually not a bad person, but he was almost obsessed with studying Dan Dao, and he acted crazy. Qingshi couldn't help but feel a little less disgusted with it.
"That's right," Qingshi nodded, "There should be a way, but we didn't think of it." Haven't you thought of any other way, though? ”
"Something else?" Fat Zhong couldn't turn his brain for a while.
"It's a replacement!" Qingshi said, "Don't use Heiguan fruit, can't you replace it with other medicinal herbs?" Anyway, it's an auxiliary material, and it's not the main material. ”
"That's right!" Zhong Fatzi was overjoyed, "You are such a genius!" As he spoke, he found a big, thick leather cheats book out of nowhere, slammed it on the table and began to look through it.
In fact, although the alternative method is rarely used in alchemy, it is naturally known at the level of Zhong Fatzi's sixth-level Dan Master, but this person is obsessed with Dan Dao, and the few strings in his brain have been drilled into the horns for a while, not that the idea of Qingshi is really so genius.
Zhong Fatzi's level of a sixth-level alchemist is definitely only high, not low, and after a while, he came up with an alternative, and Qingshi had to be impressed when he saw it, he would never have come up with it in such a short time.
Then Zhong Fatzi began to refine, and Qingshi helped on the side, and at the same time studied seriously. After nearly three hours, Zhong Fatzi finally refined three Minsu Pills.
This guy didn't delay, he immediately threw one into his mouth and then went out and ran around the campus, Qingshi saw that his whole body fat shook and he was more than ten zhang away, judging from the momentum of the outbreak, his cultivation was at least above the high level of Jindan Realm.
After a while, I heard a burst of smug laughter from far away, obviously this elixir was successfully refined.
Through this alchemy, the relationship between Qingshi and Zhong Fatzi has become a lot closer, although Qingshi has the Dan prescription of Min Sudan, it is limited to cultivation and cannot be refined, so he proposed to Zhong Fatzi to buy a few.
Zhong Fatzi agreed, and after a few days, he really helped Qingshi refine five Minsu Pills, but the price was determined and never let go, and he asked for 600 high-grade spirit stones for Qingshi.
Qingshi took out the spirit beast Neidan that made him feel his qi and blood move and asked Zhong Fatzi to identify it, but Zhong Fatzi didn't even know it.
Curious, Zhong Fatzi took out a hammer and was about to smash Neidan to study it, Qingshi was shocked and hurriedly snatched it back.
Two days later, Zhong Buli took Qingshi to visit his eldest brother Zhong Buqi, this Zhong Buqi is also a madman of the Dao of Magic, but he is obsessed with the Dao of the instrument.
Qingshi has audited Zhong Buqi's class, and he is also the only student outside the hospital who has audited his class this year, so Zhong Buqi is also very fond of Qingshi.
Although Qingshi is not as good as the two of them in the Dan Dao and the Qi Dao, his brain is much more flexible than these two, and he can often put forward some extraordinary insights, most of which are from the magic knowledge of the Dahuang world in Qingshi's memory, which is not available in the Tianlong world.
The two of them felt that Qingshi's whimsy was simply incredible, and they often admired it.
Qingshi took the opportunity to ask Zhong Bu to ask for advice on the Taoist technique, Zhong did not give up and was not conservative, and he had to answer all questions, but he often did not reach the meaning of the word, and the thinking fault line was obvious, but fortunately, the wisdom of Qingshi was round, and he could basically figure it out.
Qingshi asked for advice on the technique of the instrument path, but he does not practice the art of refining weapons at present, just like the general martial arts cultivators are not formation mages, although they can't practice the formation path, they have to study the art of breaking the formation.
Qingshi communicates with the two every day or two, and it is quite rewarding.
On this day of the New Year, Qingshi invited the two to come to Cuihu Road East Jiudong for dinner, specially prepared several dishes, and took out the mountain peach brew and a line of fire to entertain the two, the two of them also ate and drank unceremoniously, but for Qingshi's delicacies and wine is not half a word of praise, Qingshi has the heart to mention some topics of eating and drinking, and the two are not interested.
After the two of them were full of food and drink, they said goodbye together, and Qingshi sent them out.
Zhong Bu gave up and said: "I saw your suspended roast sheep magic circle just now, it is very innovative, or it can be used to smelt minerals, I want to go back to study and study." With that, he walked away.
Zhong Buli stroked his big belly and said, "Elder Ben seems to have not eaten for a year, and the things you made taste good, but they are too troublesome." Qingshi, it's not me talking about you, what a waste of time you waste with these things, we are Danshi, even if you are really hungry, it is not a pill to solve it? Goodbye, goodbye! ”
After Zhong Buli finished speaking, he flashed and chased after his brother and went together, leaving Qingshi to stand still and cry and laugh.
Seeing the two brothers walking together, one instrument Dao genius and one Dan Dao genius, plus his own array Dao genius, Qingshi suddenly had a genius idea in his mind, and he couldn't help but be excited.
Qingshi returned to the water terrace and drank a large sip of fire, raised his hand and took out the Flowing Fire Sword and brandished the Burning Sky Sword Technique.
For the next half month, Qingshi's time outside of cultivating martial arts was spent testing his genius ideas.
In the basement, the brewing equipment occupies most of the space, and Bluestone has set up a fourth-level magic circle in the remaining places, and then several more elaborate magic circles have been arranged in the array.
Some of these delicate circles play a controlling role, some play a levitating role, and there are some metal components that depict the pattern of the formation, and the core thing is a metal vessel that can store the Danhuo and delay its release.
These are all bluestone designs, please do not give up to build, and install the power and control formation by yourself.
For these bizarre designs, Zhong Bu was full of interest, and it was quickly forged.
Qingshi placed this core device in the center of the Xuan Array, and then placed three alchemy furnaces of the same standard around it, and together with other metal components, they formed a strange-looking large machine.
Qingshi first sorted out three materials for refining the second-grade Hui Qi Pill, put them into the three Dan furnaces respectively, and then spent two quarters of an hour fusing his own fire attribute true qi and wood attribute true qi, turning them into Dan fire and filling it into that core device.
Then Qingshi fully launched the formation, and several magic arrays began to run, and it was actually automatically running three Dan furnaces at the same time for alchemy.
Qingshi closely observed, adjusted at any time, and after four or five tests, it was successful and automatically refined three furnaces and two grades of Huiqi Dan at the same time.
In this way, Qingshi successfully invented the world's first automatic alchemy machine, which is a device that integrates the three techniques of the Fusion Dao Array Dao and the Dan Dao.
Qingshi believes that although this machine can only refine low-grade pills at present, and cannot completely leave the care of people, it will definitely become a machine that can automatically refine a large number of pills after being improved and improved, and it can refine higher-grade pills.
