Chapter 40: The First Alchemy

Previous Chapter

The next day, early in the morning, Zhou Chen did not cultivate, but sneakily came to Zhu Lao's room, preparing to find some of the most basic pills and try to refine them.

After learning the theory, the next step is to practice.

Soon, he found some simple pills, and without hesitation, Zhou Chen left Zhu Lao's room, and the longer he spent in Zhu Lao's room, the stronger the feeling of weakness became.

It didn't take long for Zhou Chen to prepare all the things for alchemy, Danfang, herbs, Danding, and now everything is in place, only the east wind is owed.

After studying the Dan Fang for a while, Zhou Chen was ready to start alchemy.

The pill he was going to refine was called the Blood Condensation Pill, which was a healing pill.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Chen began to try, putting a blood condensation flower and a living qi grass into the Dan furnace one after another, and then used the internal force to control the flame intensity on the Dan Fang.

Not long after, there was an explosion in the Dan furnace room.

Long Mu was still sleeping at the moment, and when he heard this voice, he couldn't help but jump, and his heart was strange.

hurriedly looked outside the house, and as a result, Long Mu couldn't help but be startled.

I saw a black figure, walking out of the alchemy room, with stiff hair, smoke coming out from time to time, and the facial features on the face were no longer clear, all covered by black, and the appearance was very embarrassed.

After observing for a long time, Long Mu recognized that it was Zhou Chen, this kid, shouldn't he start alchemy.

Floating to Zhou Chen's side, looking at Zhou Chen, who was sitting on the ground with white smoke constantly spitting out white smoke in his mouth, he felt a burst of amusement in his heart, and asked, "You won't try alchemy directly, will you!"

Zhou Chen spit out the smoke in his mouth, his face was bitter, and he said, "Look at me like this, can't you guess it." ”

I was depressed in my heart, I was obviously refining according to books and pills, how could I fail!

Long Mu smiled and said, "You guy is really bold, you don't learn to control the flame first, just try alchemy." Fortunately, the power of the Dan furnace explosion this time is not great, otherwise, your little life will be lost to you. ”

Hearing Long Mu's words, Zhou Chen couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, he didn't expect alchemy to be so dangerous, Zhou Chen couldn't help but secretly swear in his heart that he would never be so reckless next time, otherwise, his little life would be played with by himself sooner or later.

After tidying himself up, Zhou Chen slipped into Zhu Lao's room again to look for other books on refining medicine.

He decided that he should finish reading all the books on alchemy and try alchemy again, so as not to have an accident like today's.

He brought all the alchemy books back to his room and prepared to study them overnight.

Long Mu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Zhou Chen coming back with a large pile of books, and asked, "Why are you taking so many books?"

Zhou Chen said: "I'm going to read all the books about alchemy!"

Long Mu didn't say anything more, and couldn't help but admire Zhou Chen's patience in his heart, he had the patience to read so many books.

sighed, if I could study hard before, I would definitely not fall to this point today, I really don't work hard, and the boss is sad!

Subsequently, Zhou Chen immersed himself in the books of alchemy and began to read by himself.

"Alchemist, it turns out that you need to have the power of wood!"

Looking at the content of the book, Zhou Chen suddenly realized, and finally knew why he failed at that time, because he failed to integrate the power of wood into the internal force, so that the internal force and the flame collided and exploded.

Knowing this, Zhou Chen was happy for a moment, and then couldn't help frowning, the most important thing for an alchemist is to have the power of wood, whether he has the power of wood.

Then, his eyes fell on Long Mu, who was really sleeping, hesitated for a moment, woke Long Mu up, and said, "Long Mu, Long Mu, you see if I have the power of wood!"

Long Mu, who was immersed in his sleep, was woken up by Zhou Chen, obviously a little resentful, and said, "What's the matter, disturbing the master's dream." ”

I only heard that Zhou Chen was a little embarrassed, and said, "Long Mu, you see if I have the power of wood!"

"Yes!" Long Mu spit out a word lightly, his sleepy eyes were loose.

"You don't perceive it, how do you know?" Zhou Chen was puzzled.

Long Mu yawned and said lightly: "I have already sensed it, otherwise, why would I let you learn alchemy!"

"Then you also know that alchemy requires the fusion of wood power and internal force!" Zhou Chen continued.

"Nonsense, of course I know!" Long Mu said.

Hearing Long Mu's words, Zhou Chen couldn't help but be angry, and his tone of voice improved a little, and said, "You know this, why don't you tell me." ”

Saying that, Zhou Chen directly grabbed Long Mu in his hand, with a look of anger, knowing why he didn't tell me this, he was not only blown up by the Dan furnace in vain, but also stayed up until late at night to study hard.

Being caught by Zhou Chen, Long Mu seemed to be sober, first a little surprised, and then, with an angry face, his whole body was wrapped in dark red airflow, and he said angrily: "You didn't ask here, blame me, besides, I didn't let you go, you are going by yourself, what does it matter to me!"

Then, the room became a mess, and Zhou Chen hid in the corner, constantly begging for mercy.

I regret it in my heart, I knew that I wouldn't be so impulsive to provoke Long Mu, but Long Mu obviously knows alchemy, why don't you say that he can't!

Actually, what Zhou Chen didn't know was that Long Mu didn't want to teach, but he didn't know how to teach.

Three days later.

In the alchemy room, Zhou Chen sat in front of the Dan furnace, took a deep breath, and then concentrated his mind to find the hidden power of wood in his body.

The power of wood is the foundation of an alchemist, and only a cultivator with the power of wood has the opportunity to become an alchemist, and he doesn't want to be as easy as he imagined, everyone can be an alchemist.

After searching for half an hour, Zhou Chen found the power of wood hidden in his body.

Feeling the incomparably soft wood power in his body, Zhou Chen couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of his mouth, Long Mu really didn't lie to himself, he really had the power of wood.

"Found it?" Seeing the smile that appeared on the corner of Zhou Chen's mouth, Long Mu couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart, he could find the power of wood in half an hour, at that time, it took him two hours to find the power of wood, which couldn't help but make him a little jealous, this guy's perception is so strong.

Subsequently, the power of wood is fused with the internal force, so that the internal force has the ability to strengthen ordinary flames.

Soon, the fusion of the two was completed, and without hesitation, Zhou Chen conveyed the internal force into the flame in the Dan furnace, and in the process of transportation, Zhou Chen couldn't help but feel afraid in his heart, and went to the furnace like last time.

The internal force continued to merge into the flames, and the flame that burned softly in the inner door suddenly became violent, as if there was some violent chemical reaction, and in an instant, the heat wave gushed out of the furnace like a tide, and the temperature in the room was instantly raised.

Feeling the temperature of the room getting higher, Zhou Chen's hanging heart finally fell, and finally did not explode like last time.

The internal force that fuses with the power of the wood can be used as fuel to keep the flame burning.

At the beginning, the flames burned very violently, but it didn't take long for them to be controlled by Zhou Chen, and the blessing of the power of wood allowed him to control the intensity of the flames at will.

Long Mu watched from the sidelines, constantly perceiving, feeling Zhou Chen's control of the flames, and couldn't help but be a little happy and a little jealous at the moment, what talent did this guy have not shown.

Long Mu opened his mouth and said, "Zhou Chen, let's try alchemy now!"

Hearing Zhou Chen's voice, without the slightest hesitation, he used the Tripod Technique to throw the herbs that had been prepared beside him into the medicine furnace.

The pill that Zhou Chen refined this time was still the Blood Condensation Pill, and according to the order on the pill, different herbs were put into the medicine furnace in turn.

Subsequently, he condensed his mind and constantly controlled the flame on the Dan Fang.

Every alchemist, when refining medicine for the first time, will basically fail, and Zhou Chen is naturally no exception.

Due to the high temperature of the flame, the herbs were directly reduced to ashes.

"The flame burns too strong!"

Wipe the beads of sweat off your forehead, take a deep breath of some warm air, and start again.

After more than a dozen failures, the herbs he had prepared had almost been consumed.

Looking at the few herbs left, I couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, it is not so easy to become an alchemist.

Next, Zhou Chen did not continue to refine the pill, but calmed down and carefully summarized the reasons for failure, failure is not terrible, what is terrible is that he will not find success from failure.

After a long time, Zhou Chen's gaze was firm, and the internal force surrounded his palm, controlling the burning of the flames with one hand and the herbs with the other.

The spiritual power exploded, constantly sensing and controlling the intensity of the flames, and then, the herbs were put into the Dan furnace.

When the herbs are fed into the furnace, the gentle power of wood directly envelops the herbs in them, preventing them from being burned into nothingness by the raging flames.

Under the protection of the power of wood, the herbs are constantly being refined, and after many failures, he has a certain ability to control the flames.

Soon the herbs were refined, first in liquids and then in powders.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart and condensed his mind, because next, it is the most important moment of condensing the pill, and whether the alchemy can be successful or not depends on the next.

Slowly control the herbs that have turned into powder, so that they continue to merge.

Long Mu was on the side, he couldn't help but be a little nervous, and his eyes were fixed on the Dan furnace.

He can be regarded as half an alchemist, so he naturally knows the importance of this last step, and the success or failure of alchemy lies in this last step.

While controlling the intensity of the flames, he also controlled the fusion of the medicinal powder, this kind of dual-purpose made Zhou Chen feel that his spiritual power was a little insufficient.

Fortunately, after several dangerous situations, the medicinal powder finally fused together, and soon, a faint scent of Dan incense diffused from the Dan furnace.

Smelling the ever-strong danxiang, a smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Chen's mouth, the smile was very sweet, and the beads of sweat on his cheeks flowed into his mouth, and he didn't feel salty at all.

Finally, the pill was formed, and looking at the suspended pill, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and pride in my heart.

"Hahaha! I'm an alchemist now......"
