Chapter 35: Apprenticeship
"What?
Deacon Zhou brushed the spiritual tea sprayed by Dean Song, and said dissatisfiedly, "Senior Brother Song expresses your gratitude like this?"
"Oops, hey!" Dean Song didn't care about his crooked words, and exclaimed, "If that's the case, this is a new record for the Alchemy Academy in a hundred years!"
"A hundred years?" Deacon Zhou pouted, "It shouldn't have been out for five hundred years!"
"Of course, of course, except for those children of the family!" Dean Song clapped his hands and smiled: "Such a disciple must receive it from our Alchemy Academy!"
"Hehe, I don't know if the old man will let go of people?" Deacon Zhou poured cold water on him.
"Hmph, he dares not to let go, do you want the cultivation pill of Yulin Peak when he goes back?" Dean Song said domineeringly.
"Then what are you going to say?" Deacon Zhou said lightly: "Could it be that old man Qian, you have an unborn alchemy wizard here! ”
Dean Song sneered, "Old Zhou, don't provoke me! Even if you let you go, you can't say that! You treat me stupidly?"
"And what do you say?" asked Deacon Zhou with interest. Dean Song glanced at him and said, "Keep it secret!"
In fact, Dean Song and Deacon Zhou were too worried, and the matter of transferring Yun Zheng to the hospital was not as complicated as they thought. As soon as Dean Song came over to tell Master Qian Feng, Qian Zhide smiled and said, "Senior Brother Song can take a fancy to this child, that is his blessing, where am I reluctant?"
It was done so easily! This made Dean Song prepare a stomach full of words in his stomach, and it felt like a heavy punch on the cotton.
Yun Zheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "It's all up to the elders!"
Dean Song smiled with his eyebrows.
"But the disciple has a request!" Yun Zheng saw that the two elders were in a good mood, and hurriedly said.
"You say!" Qian Zhide frowned slightly.
"It's that the disciple is cultivating the Aoki Heaven Breaking Technique, and I hope to continue cultivating, but when I get to the Alchemy Academy, this next step is ......" Yun Zheng wanted to say and stopped.
Qian Zhide smiled and exchanged glances with Dean Song. "You don't have to worry about this! This Aoki Heaven-Breaking Technique is one of the basic recipes of our Liuyun Sect, and there is actually a backup at the end of the Alchemy Academy! But since you said it, it doesn't bother the two masters. Qian Zhide took out a blank jade slip, and used his divine sense to engrave all the foundation building period exercises of Aoki's Heaven Breaking Technique on it, and even added some of his own cultivation experience.
"Thank you, Elder Qian!" Yun Zheng took the jade slip and hurriedly saluted.
"That's it! Since Senior Brother Song is optimistic about you, you should study hard! Don't lose Yulin Feng's face. ”
"Yes, Elder!" Yun Zheng said respectfully.
Suddenly moving from Yulin Peak to Baicao Peak, Yun Zheng was still a little reluctant. I have lived in a small lakeside building for four years, and I have some feelings. Looking at the familiar scenery in front of me, I can't help but feel a little sad.
Although he has not yet gone through the apprenticeship ceremony, the news that Dean Song is preparing to accept Yun Zheng as an apprentice has already spread in Baicao Peak. The disciples of the dean of the Baicao Peak Alchemy Academy, although they are not in the inner disciple sequence, their treatment is no different from that of the inner disciple. This alone made Kang Changyi and others, who came in at the same time as Yun Zheng, drool with envy.
When choosing a residence, Yun Zheng still chose to stay away from other people's courtyards. This is a small valley under Baicao Peak, where a small waterfall rushes down from a gap in the mountains, and the waves are rolling in the turquoise pool below. At the exit of the small valley, a short dam was built to store a lake. This is also the characteristic of Liuyun Valley, as long as the conditions permit, build a dam to store water, convenient for watering the spiritual field.
Yun Zheng is very satisfied with the new house, there is not only a lake, but also a waterfall, and there are a lot of scattered land around the house, which can be opened up into a spiritual field.
The apprenticeship was scheduled for three days later.
Alchemists are all weirdos, they live in seclusion, don't care about the world, and immerse themselves in alchemy. If they can refine the new pill or make a breakthrough, it is the happiest thing for them. Also, people often say, "If you don't go crazy, you won't survive!" If it weren't for such purity and perseverance, they wouldn't be where they are today.
There are not many alchemists in the Alchemy Academy who really have a level, in addition to the three elders in the foundation building period, there are also eleven eleven alchemists, ranging from the second to the third level, and they are all outside the age of thirty.
Alchemy is notoriously difficult to cultivate and difficult to refine! It is not easy to get started, and it is even more difficult to succeed. Dean Song has been concentrating on the way of alchemy for a hundred years, and he is only a fourth-level Dan master today. And Deacon Zhou and another white deacon are still third-level Dan masters, and they vaguely touched the edge of the fourth-level.
As for someone like Yun Zheng, who can barely become a pill, it can only be said that he is not yet in the stream, and he can't even be called a first-level pill, just an alchemy apprentice in a general sense.
The first-level Dan Master is the one who can refine the Qi Induction Pill and Qi Gathering Pill in the early and middle stages of Qi training, and the success rate is about sixty percent. The second-level Dan Master must be able to refine the Qi Nourishing Pill, Yuzhi Pill, Qinglin Barrier Breaking Pill, Qi and Blood Pill, Liuyang Pill and other pills suitable for the later stage of Qi cultivation and the Great Perfection stage of Qi training.
A third-level Dan Master needs to refine the pills needed for the cultivation of the cultivators in the foundation building period, but the most important sign is to learn to refine the foundation building pill. Speaking of which, the Zhuji Dan is only the favorite elixir of the Great Perfection cultivators who practice qi, and the complexity of refining is that it is usually difficult for a second-level Dan master to control, so it has become a threshold to test whether the Dan master has entered the third level.
Refining Zhuji Dan, even in the Liuyun Sect, in addition to the three elders of the Alchemy Academy, among the eleven alchemists, only the four senior brothers Peng, Xiao, Yue, and Jin can refine it.
At this time, the three elders were all sitting on the stage, and the eleven Dan Masters were seated under them, looking at Yun Zheng who was doing various rituals under the guidance of Steward Xue.
"Bow to the patriarch! Three kowtows! Rites, retreat!"
"Bow to the ancestors, three kowtows!
"Bow to the Master, three kowtows!
Yun Zheng felt like a marionette, carried by Steward Xue to salute here and kowtow there. This feeling is more complicated than seeing people get married when I was a child.
Finally worshipping the master, Yun Zheng looked up, and Dean Song was looking at him happily. "Okay, good! Our Alchemy Academy has finally added a new person!" he turned over and took out a two-foot-high bronze Dan furnace from the storage bag, "As an alchemist, you can't do without a good Dan furnace! This six-fire golden black furnace is a gift for the teacher." Although the level is not high, it is enough below the third level!"
Deacon Zhou was afraid that Yun Zheng wouldn't understand, so he said with a smile: "This is the best magic weapon Dan furnace, even in the alchemy academy, there are only two hands that can beat it." ”
Yun Zheng took the Dan furnace excitedly, his heart was surging, in this indifferent world, although it is always disappointing, there are always some people who warm and move you.
"Thank you, Master!" Yun Zheng said with tears in his eyes.
"Hahaha! You don't have to be so moved! Your master has a lot of good things!" Deacon Zhou laughed.
"Don't teach bad children!" Dean Song said angrily, but his eyes were full of smiles. There is no shortage of geniuses in this world, but he and Deacon Zhou also know how much water is in it. How many of them are innate, and who is the one who has accumulated countless resources behind them, and who has hidden them from ordinary people, and how can they hide them! Yun Zheng is different, he came here alone, although he has an uncle, he can't help much, and he basically came by himself. In such a test of Deacon Zhou, only two or three out of ten can finally persevere! Among them, those with limited talent account for eight or nine out of ten.
"I do have a better grade Dan Furnace, but if you don't have enough level, even if you take it, it will be useless, but it will be coveted by others! If you can advance to the fourth grade, you don't have to say, you can choose the Dan furnace in the warehouse of the Alchemy Academy!" Dean Song said with a smile.
More than ten people under the seat are all happy. The importance of the Dan furnace to a Dan master is self-evident, and it is much more important than the magic weapon of an ordinary monk.
The Yun Zheng gave a salute to all the observers. Deacon Zhou smiled and said, "Your master specially invited us here, isn't it just for this moment!"
"Cut," Deacon Bai said disdainfully, "It's just a bottle of elixir!
Deacon Zhou's eyes widened, and he said loudly: "Old man Bai, take a look, if you also take out such a bottle of elixir, I will take you!"
Deacon Bai stretched out his hand to take the elixir, and said with a smile when he opened the bottle: "Just look at what bezoar dog treasure you old man Zhou has?" As a result, as soon as the cap of the bottle was opened, Deacon Bai's face changed. "This is a fourth-level elixir?
Deacon Zhou smiled proudly and said, "Luckily, there is no waste of materials!" and said to Yun Zheng: "Although it is a four-pin pill, this is a marrow washing pill that is easy to wash the marrow and can be used in any realm." ”
Dean Song was also moved and said, "Senior Brother Zhou's gift is a bit heavy!
Deacon Zhou said: "This elixir is still a proper etiquette for children! If it is us, it will be changed to the best spiritual root, what is the use?" said to Yun Zheng: "This elixir is used to condition the body, make the body more transparent, and increase the compatibility with spiritual power, and there is nothing else!"
Yun Zheng has been in the Alchemy Academy for several years, and he also has a general understanding of the functions of various pills, so he naturally knows the efficacy of this marrow washing pill. Although it cannot change the attributes of a person's spiritual root, it can greatly improve the compatibility between the human body and spiritual power. If the original fit is only fifty percent, absorb the spiritual power, half of it is absorbed, and the other half escapes between heaven and earth. But if you take the Pulp Cleansing Pill and increase the fit to seventy percent, then one day of cultivation can be worth a day and a half of the past, and the effect will be different for a long time.
"Thank you Elder Zhou for your generous gift!" Yun Zheng happily took it. After four years of getting along, he knows that Deacon Zhou is a human being, and what he says and what he takes out will not be taken back.
"Old man Zhou, you can make it difficult for us!" Deacon Bai shook his head and smiled, and took out a string of beads from his arms, "Fortunately, I have this, and I can't let you be beautiful!"
"Raise the Divine Tree!"
Deacon Zhou exclaimed.
