Chapter 133: A Strange Way of Comparison
Each of the three elders has his own disciples, who will regularly teach them formations, Karakuri, and alchemy.
Especially alchemy, which is the pillar of this sect, whether it is spiritual liquid, Bigu Dan, or the Zhuji Dan needed to break through the realm, etc., are all necessary for monks.
There are also all kinds of medicinal liquids used for healing, pills, etc., which are all things that cannot be missing in a sect.
Therefore, in order to maintain the continuous growth of the sect monks, it is necessary to have a complete alchemy production system.
That's what the Third Elder did, and he had more than 100 alchemy monks under him, and these monks followed the Third Elder to learn alchemy, and at the same time produced elixirs for the sect.
Before Su Luoxue went to the world where the Spirit Devouring Insect King was located to support, the three elders took these monks to work overtime to make a large number of pills, and I heard that that refining caused many Dan furnaces to be burned.
At this time, the three elders were teaching the new disciples the way of alchemy, which was nothing more than the properties of various herbs and materials, how to expel toxicity, how to integrate pharmacology, all the steps of alchemy, and so on.
Su Luoxue sat aside and listened for a while, and found that the alchemy process was extremely complicated, the most important thing was to control the proportion of various materials in the Dan furnace, and the control of the temperature of the earth fire should be particularly fine.
This requires the monk to exercise his ability to control the aura and the spirit.
The two are indispensable, and only by complementing each other can a mess of medicinal materials eventually turn into a liquid and condense into a pill.
Therefore, the difficulty of alchemy is still above the skill of Karakuri and the art of formation.
Therefore, after so many years, the three elders have only brought out more than 200 alchemy cultivators, and there are only more than 100 who are still in the sect.
"Okay, that's all for today, after you go back, you have to memorize all the contents of this booklet, and understand it thoroughly, so that you can be qualified to further learn the art of alchemy."
Roar, Su Luoxue looked at the thick book, and instantly felt a pain in her head.
Although there are also thick books on Karakuri and Formation, they are not required to memorize.
But it's right to think about it, even if Karakuri and the formation are wrong, there is still room for repair. But if the alchemy is wrong, it will be completely wasted, if you think about it, if the overall control is not right or a small gram of medicine is missing, it will lead to all the medicinal materials in the Dan furnace being wasted, and the previous efforts will be in vain.
Therefore, alchemy tests a monk's patience and carefulness even more.
"Third Elder, you sent someone to call me over, is there something wrong?"
After the surrounding disciples finished asking questions and leaving, Su Luoxue leaned over and said.
"I've noticed you coming a long time ago, how about it, did Luo Xue get a little interested in listening to the basic knowledge of alchemy?"
Ah, does this mean that the three elders want to let themselves learn the art of alchemy?
Su Luoxue scratched her head, "Well, maybe there may be a little bit." ”
But it's really only a little bit, and alchemy often requires several days of sitting there motionless, and the aura and divine soul are fused into the Dan furnace, without the slightest distraction.
This process is terrible to think about, Su Luoxue feels that she is an active person, and there is a high probability that she will not be able to withstand this kind of scene that cannot be interrupted at all and is motionless.
The famous Brother Dali once said, "If you don't move, you won't be a king." ”
When you outline a formation or do a trap, you can put it down and rest before continuing.
"Hahaha, just feel a little interested. You are now a registered disciple of the Great Elder and the Second Elder, and both of them have passed on what they have learned all their lives to you, so if I think about it, I can't fall behind, otherwise I won't suffer."
Su Luoxue didn't know how to answer, why did she become a third elder and suffer?
These elders won't bet on themselves, right, to see who has taught the skills the best?
"Hahaha, so I just thought I would let you come and take a look at alchemy, if you are interested, I will teach you."
Alas, it is difficult to be gracious, looking at the expectant expression of the third elder, Su Luoxue couldn't say no, so she had to nod.
"It is Luo Xue's luck to be able to get the cultivation of the three elders."
"Okay, good, really a good boy, but I also want to say in advance, the process of alchemy is more boring and complicated than formations and Karakuri, and it is very likely that you are not suitable. I don't force it, and I hope you don't feel sad when the results come out. ”
Su Luoxue nodded, "Don't worry, I just have a big heart, even if I don't fit, I am not talented in all fields." ”
"That's good, then you come over regularly every day and study with these new disciples, I believe that with your little brain, you will be able to learn it soon."
So Su Luoxue followed the three elders to take a look at all the processes of alchemy.
Start a fire, put medicine into the medicine, melt the liquid, warm it, condense the pill, refire, and start the furnace.
There are four major elements of alchemy, Dan furnace, Dan fire, Dan materials, and alchemists, and none of them can become Dan.
The most important of these is the alchemist, and it is even more difficult to cultivate a top-notch alchemist than a formation mage.
After all, the array mage can try to make it by finding a piece of spirit beast skin, but the alchemist has no way to try it casually.
If it fails, all the materials consumed will be wasted, and the cost will be too great.
Therefore, in fact, even if a monk has studied alchemy for five years, the pills he refines every day are still the pills used to treat external and internal injuries.
As for the spiritual liquid commonly used by the monks, it was refined by those monks who had not been refining alchemy for a long time.
Only monks who have studied alchemy for more than ten years are qualified to start trying more complex, higher-grade, and more effective pills, such as Zhuji Dan.
There will be no monk complaining about anything, after all, the resources are so small, and alchemy is supposed to repeat an action thousands of times, so even if it is a hemostatic pill that has been refined for a year, there will be gains.
Next, Su Luoxue would come to class every day, and when she went back after class, except for the cultivation time, she kept holding the thick book of "Introduction to Alchemy" and reciting.
It includes all the processes of alchemy, how to identify medicinal herb materials, how to control the heat, and so on.
In this way, a month passed, Su Luoxue successfully finished the class, and in terms of knowledge theory recitation, Su Luoxue did not lose to other monks at all.
The final spot check also got a full score as expected, and the next step was to contact the Dan furnace and the alchemy process.
From here, Su Luoxue was opened up by other monks.
During the refining process, the materials need to be wrapped in spiritual energy, and the flame temperature in different areas of the Dan furnace needs to be controlled. Although it is entered at the same time as the Dan Furnace, the temperature and time required to turn into slime are different, so it is necessary to constantly perceive it with the Divine Soul and adjust it with the Aura.
There is no problem in terms of divine soul perception, but in the control of aura, Su Luoxue is completely inadequate, after all, with the amount of aura reserves in the late stage of qi training, Su Luoxue is difficult to support.
Even the simplest spiritual liquid blending, Su Luoxue couldn't make a furnace, and it was finally ruined.
In the end, the three elders could only sigh helplessly, but they still did not give up.
"Luo Xue, I remember that your senior brother has a special belt on his body, and spiritual plants are planted in that belt. So every time he makes a move, he mobilizes the aura from the belt, and if you have a belt like that, you may be able to continue to learn the art of alchemy. ”
