Lin Beichen listened silently, a trace of imperceptible emotion flashed on his face, and he couldn't help but think of the purple-robed old man he met in Tongzhou Mansion.

Unexpectedly, the purple-robed old man was actually a teacher of Xuanyuan Sect, and he was also the younger brother of Elder Gu's mother.

No wonder when he learned that he was a disciple of Xuanyuan Sect that day, he didn't show the momentum of a strong man, but was so kind that he took more care of him like the old grandfather next door, and finally forcibly asked for five thousand spirit crystals from that Tong Ming for him.

"It seems that my brother wants me to take care of you more." A trace of helplessness flashed on Elder Gu's face, and he continued: "It's just that my disciples are all alchemists, and I don't know if you have the talent for alchemy. ”

A hint of inexplicability flashed in Lin Beichen's eyes, and after a moment of silence, his palm flipped over, and a slightly flickering flame jumped on it.

"First-Order Spiritual Fire?" Elder Gu shook his head slightly, obviously a little disappointed.

First-Order Spiritual Fire?

A look of doubt suddenly appeared on Lin Beichen's face.

"The alchemists in the world are divided into nine levels, one to nine, and correspondingly, the spiritual fire in the hands of the alchemists is also divided according to this."

"What you have in your hand is a first-order spiritual fire, if the old man guesses correctly, you should only be able to refine first-order pills now, right?"

Seeing this, Elder Gu also patiently explained.

Lin Beichen nodded, he had also tried to refine the second-order pill when he was bored, but in the end, he failed without any surprise.

Although the "Wan Dan Lu" is a treasure book, it only records the refining methods of all the pills in the world.

There is no corresponding record in the "Wandan Lu" for basic knowledge such as him, which belongs to alchemy to a certain extent, so until now, he has no way of knowing the specific reason for the failure.

"That's right, although you are now in the Spirit Vein Realm, it stands to reason that you also have the strength to refine second-order pills."

"But the key is that your spiritual fire has not yet advanced, and it still belongs to the first-order level, so naturally you can't refine the second-order pill."

Elder Gu stroked his beard and nodded lightly.

"How can I get advanced?" Lin Beichen blurted out, he naturally wanted to know more about some common sense about alchemy.

Although he has the classic book "Wan Danlu", he can only refine first-order pills, and he always feels that he is guarding Baoshan without knowing it.

"It's not hard to say, it's not easy to say."

"This spiritual fire is stored in your dantian on weekdays, and it is fed by the spiritual energy, so that it will never stop."

"On weekdays, as long as you use your spiritual energy to refine it, in the long run, the spiritual fire will naturally be able to advance, but this premise is that you must reach the corresponding realm."

"For example, the old man is currently in the Tianyang Realm, and the spiritual fire can be advanced to the fourth order under my tempering, but you can only be of the second order."

Elder Gu explained, and there was not the slightest impatience in his tone.

For this young man who his younger brother asked to take care of, he also transferred his guilt to him.

"That's it..."Lin Beichen was slightly disappointed.

It took a lot of time to refine the spiritual fire, and doing so would definitely affect his cultivation.

"You can't have both fish and bear's paws, and besides, becoming a high-level alchemist doesn't necessarily slow down the progress of cultivation."

"On the contrary, the elixir refined by a high-level alchemist is helpful to the realm to a large extent, and I think you should understand this."

Elder Gu said earnestly.

Lin Beichen nodded thoughtfully.

Also.

He had relied on a small second-order pill to open the pulse pill before, and successfully opened up a spiritual vein to break through to the second layer of the spiritual vein realm.

Although it is said that it is necessary to waste a lot of time to improve the level of alchemy, this wasted time can be rewarded handsomely in another way.

Who can say the pros and cons?

It's just a matter of your choice.

"Actually, I hope you can do alchemy, but after all, everyone has their own ambitions, if you don't want to continue on this road, it's okay, the old man can also make an exception to accept you." Elder Gu's voice was soft, and the old man's face was also showing a touch of kindness at this moment, but there was a hint of anticipation flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Lin Beichen was silent, he was thinking and weighing.

The entire bronze hall was silent at the moment.

"Hoo ......"

After a while, Lin Beichen's chest rose and fell slightly, and he exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and his eyes no longer flickered, but were replaced by a determined color.

There is no need for Baoshan, not his Lin Beichen's character!

"Elder Gu, the disciple has decided to worship you as a teacher, and he will definitely go further on the path of alchemist in the future, I hope Elder Gu can accept the disciple." Lin Beichen said in a solemn tone, and then knelt down on his knees and made a big salute.

Disciples who are new to the inner gate can have the right to choose an elder as a master, in addition to enjoying the resources of the sect, the master will also help the disciple to a certain extent, which is the elder closed disciple.

Of course, the elder also has the right to refuse, and in the end, if no elder can accept this new disciple, then this new disciple can only be a simple inner disciple.

"Okay, good boy, you will never suffer if you follow the old man!" Elder Gu laughed arrogantly, and stretched out a pair of slightly wrinkled hands to gently help Lin Beichen up.

Indeed, as a fourth-order alchemist, most of the pills in the Xuanyuan Sect were also from him, and he would definitely not suffer a loss if he could be his closed disciple.

Just look at that Ji Ziyue, she is not a few years older than Lin Beichen, but she has already reached the Tianyin Realm. Maybe part of it was because of her own talent, but it was definitely because of Elder Gu's help.

"Thank you, Elder Gu!"

Lin Beichen bowed and bowed, his tone was a little solemn, because Elder Gu was his first master in the true sense.

In the past, no one in the outer gate would tilt your resources because of how good your talent was. Basically, all the disciples are in a state of free-range.

"The old man's name is Gu Tiansheng, you will be like Yue'er in the future, call me master." Elder Gu smiled kindly.

"Master!" Lin Beichen shouted respectfully, but in the next second, the whole person's expression was as if he had changed people, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "The old man should give the apprentice a gift for the first meeting, right?" ”

"Ahem, this is nature, what do you want to order?" Gu Tiansheng stroked his white beard and smiled.

"If the apprentice wants to break through to the Tianyin Realm like the senior sister, Master, your old man can just give you some pills that can make the apprentice break through to the Tianyin Realm." Lin Beichen said pitifully.

After hearing this, the corners of Gu Tiansheng's mouth twitched suddenly, and said: "Do you really think that this kind of pill that can break through the realm is Chinese cabbage, and taking too many pills that can break through will also produce drug resistance, which will cause the foundation to be unstable and the realm to be vain." ”
