Chapter 404: The Way of the Dan Master
The growth of alchemists and refiners is even more difficult than the advancement of cultivators in the realm of strength.
It's like a sect like the Qingyun Sect where Fang Tiannan was originally located, and there are also alchemists and refiners in the sect, but they are basically at the martial arts level, or in the realm of real people. Moreover, most of the latter are in the realm of the human yuan realm. After all, a cultivator, before becoming an alchemist or refiner of the Human Yuan Realm, must take the first step to become a real person in the Human Yuan Realm!
In other words, taking an alchemist as an example, what level of elixir to refine is also limited to the strength of the alchemist itself.
Of course, if your skill in refining pills is very good, perhaps, when you are in the realm of the Human Yuan Realm, you can refine some of the pills that are suitable for the real people of the Earth Yuan Realm, but there is no way to refine the pills that are suitable for the cultivators of the Grandmaster Realm.
This is only part of the reason why alchemists are scarce.
In addition, the refining of each elixir requires mastery of the pill. In the preparation of the amount of herbs, one more is not good, and one less is even more impossible. Even, there is a certain standard for the amount of the same herb. Once this standard is deviated from when refining the elixir, then the chance of success in the final refining is very slim.
And in every sect, although they will have a certain amount of pills, they will rarely leak their own pills, especially the prescriptions of special pills. Even the communication between the alchemist and the alchemist rarely reveals his own Dan prescription. Only those who are more ordinary. The elixir that almost every cultivator knows and the herbs that need to be refined, so that every high-level of the power will know it.
It's just that whether it is Fang Tiannan or Murong Xue, they all know very well in their hearts that even in a powerful force like the Star Palace, the number of alchemists is still not much.
The biggest factor contributing to this is: Not just any cultivator can become an alchemist!
When the alchemist is refining the elixir. An alchemy furnace is required.
The most basic condition for activating the alchemy furnace is that "fire" is needed.
It's not that it's a fire such as ordinary people cooking, but that it needs to be a "fire" that needs to be activated in the alchemy furnace. Yes. Most of the alchemists. They are all cultivators with attribute talents. Of course. Because of the peculiarities of the elixir, there are times when the water is attributed. Or cultivators with cold attribute talents also have the possibility of becoming alchemists, and they can refine a part of the "Water Pill".
However, among these cultivators with talent attributes, the chances of becoming an alchemist are even rarer.
Even if it is a cultivator with fire attribute talent, only one of the hundreds of people will succeed in becoming an alchemist.
In fact, the control of the alchemy furnace, the control of the heat when refining the elixir, and even the convenient identification and selection of herbs all require a "talent"!
The more high-level alchemists they reach, the stricter their requirements for this invisible "talent" become.
It is no wonder that when Fang Tiannan was in the Qingyun Sect, Wu You, an inner disciple, was an alchemist with good talent, so he would be greatly valued in the entire Qingyun Sect!
It's like most alchemists can only be limited to refining martial artist-level pills, and Wu You's potential is to become an alchemist in the real realm.
And Fang Tiannan and the others, the inheritance pill obtained from the inheritance cave, Qingyun Sect will not be polite at all to divide one from everyone's harvest and use it for research!
It was not that the high-level of the Qingyun Sect coveted such an elixir, but that they wanted to gather the abilities of the alchemists of the entire sect to deduce the recipe for this elixir......
"I don't know why you thought of refining pills, but in my opinion, instead of spending a lot of time and energy to learn alchemy, it is better to work harder to cultivate and improve your strength realm. Murong Xue looked at Fang Tiannan, and after pondering for a moment, she said, "As far as I know, your sect before coming to the Star Hall was not as strong as my sect, right?"
"That's for sure. Fang Tiannan nodded.
Before Murong Xue came to the Star Palace, he knew everything about the situation in the Star Refining Field, and Fang Tiannan pondered, even if it was the sect master of the Qingyun Sect, it was impossible to do this.
The potential power of the two people, just from this point of comparison, there is a big gap.
"In the sect before me, the alchemists of the True Human Realm were only a handful of people. Murong Xue looked at Fang Tiannan with a strange look in her eyes, and said, "And among all the alchemists of the True Human Realm, how many people belong to the alchemists of the Tianyuan Realm, do you know the Dao?"
"How much?" Fang Tiannan asked curiously.
"Two people. Murong Xue stretched out two fingers at Fang Tiannan.
"That's already pretty good. Fang Tiannan pondered for a moment and said, "In the Qingyun Sect to which I belong, there is not a single alchemist of the Tianyuan Realm, even if it is an alchemist of the Diyuan Realm, that is, one or two. ......”
"Then you're still going to refine the pill?" Murong Xue couldn't help but look at Fang Tiannan even more strangely when she heard this, and asked, "It can't be that you figured it out yourself, right?"
If it is said that on the path of cultivation, without the guidance of a mentor, you can still rely on your own luck or hard work to continuously advance to the ranks, then on the path of an alchemist or a refiner, it is tantamount to a fantasy to achieve eye-catching results by relying on your own exploration.
"You can't always be a cultivator who wants to refine a few martial arts-level pills and take pills, right?"
Comparatively speaking, a cultivator of the True Human Realm, especially a cultivator with a fire attribute talent, or a cultivator with a Yang attribute talent who was very close to a fire attribute talent like Fang Tiannan, might be able to really succeed if he tried to refine a martial artist-level pill from scratch.
It's just that, in the same way, in each potential force, the number of martial artist-level alchemists is also the largest.
And if you want to advance to become an alchemist in the real realm, especially if you are still groping by yourself, in Murong Xue's opinion, it may be no less difficult than advancing to become a master of the grandmaster realm......
Fang Tiannan smiled wryly at Murong Xue and said, "Even if it is a martial artist-level elixir, what's the matter? If you have the opportunity, you can start learning from scratch, it's also a good choice,......
"Hmph,......" Murong Xue glanced at Fang Tiannan, "As far as the release vine you got in exchange for it, it is a fifth-order herb, if you can use it to refine a martial artist-level elixir, it will be strange." ......”
"Uh,......" Fang Tiannan was stunned for a moment and said, "It seems that you don't know anything about the refining of pills." ......”
"That's," Murong Xue nodded and said, "Any cultivator with fire attribute talent, in the process of improving his strength, will always be expected by the people of the sect to become an alchemist." However, it is precisely because I have tried it before, so I know more clearly that it is not easy to become an alchemist. ”
"It's not easy to become a high-level alchemist. Fang Tiannan added.
"Hmm. Murong Xue nodded.
If it was only to refine some pills that were suitable for martial artist-level cultivators, it would indeed be a bit "overkill" for a cultivator with such a talent as Murong Xue. As Murong Xue herself said, instead of becoming a martial artist-level alchemist, it is better to focus on improving your strength realm.
"Then do you know how many alchemists exist in the Star Hall?" Fang Tiannan asked.
"Well, I don't know. ......" Murong Xue thought about it for a moment, replied, and said, "If you say that there are alchemists in the real realm realm, even if they are alchemists at the level of the Tianyuan realm, there are still quite a few, and there are really only a handful of alchemists above the grandmaster realm." ......”
"I only know that Lu Dao, the main hall master, and the second hall master are all alchemists, but the specific rank of the alchemist is not clear. Fang Tiannan pondered and said, "However, the number of pills taken by the Grandmaster Realm cultivators of the Star Hall is also very small. ”
"You still need to say this!" Murong Xue muttered angrily, "If the Star Hall has a lot of pills in the Grandmaster Realm, I'm afraid the number of cultivators who have advanced to become Grandmasters in the sect we belonged to before will be higher." ”
"Huh?" Fang Tiannan's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this.
Immediately, Fang Tiannan smiled bitterly and smashed the corners of his mouth, and nodded silently. The thoughts in my heart have become a little melancholy. It was as if Mu Qingshan, the sect leader in the Qingyun Sect, had initially comprehended the existence of divine consciousness. Once you have the elixir of the Grandmaster Realm provided by the Star Palace, you can't say it, you can use it to advance to become a Grandmaster.
It is nothing more than the grandmaster in the Star Palace, and the pills he takes on weekdays are very rare, so naturally he will not be scattered to the rest of the sects. Even if you can't guarantee a sufficient supply, how can you think about the sect you come from?
Fang Tiannan's Qingyun Sect is not mentioned for the time being, with the strength of the sect to which Murong Xue belongs, if the Star Hall really has abundant Grandmaster Realm pills, it is impossible to say that some of these pills have already flowed into the sect where they are located.
From this, Fang Tiannan also further deduced that among the six major potential forces on the continent, including the Star Palace, the number of alchemists in the Grandmaster Realm was very rare.
The influence of a high-level alchemist on a potential force can also be seen from this. (To be continued......)
