Volume 1 Two Years of Building the Foundation Chapter 69 The Technique of Fire Control
Since Yan Yue changed his residence, the rotten babies in the same hospital with him often come to him when there is nothing to do.
On this day, the rotten baby came to look for Yan Yue again, but found that Yan Yue's door was hung with a sign that read "Hurry".
"The little junior disciple is only on the fourth level of qi refining, what kind of retreat!" "A monk who has cultivated to a high level, when he is in retreat and cultivating, he often hangs a hasty card to prevent others from harassing him. After the rotten baby saw the hurried card, he still knocked on Yan Yue's door.
After a while, Yan Yue opened the door and walked out of the house.
"After the battle for the mine, the brothers and sisters have their own gains, and an exchange conference will be held today." When he came to find Yan Yue, he invited Yan Yue to go with him.
Yan Yue thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a special spirit wine at the meeting?"
The rotten baby said, "The spirit wine of the two major sects is similar, and there is no special spirit wine, and the spoils harvested by the brothers are all kinds of spiritual weapons. ”
After Yan Yue heard this, he politely rejected the kindness of the rotten baby.
The rotten baby said, "Even if there are not enough spirit stones, it's good to go and see the long knowledge." ”
Yan Yue said, "It takes a lot of time to look at it. "Still declined the invitation of the rotten baby.
The rotten baby was helpless, so he didn't continue to invite each other.
A day later, he knocked on the door of Yan Yue's room again, and after Yan Yue left the house, he said, "Today, the brothers and sisters exchange their fighting experience, the opportunity is rare, if you learn one and a half moves, when you fight with others in the future, you will be able to have a few more chances of winning." ”
Yan Yue was a little moved after hearing this, hesitated slightly, and asked, "Senior brothers, can they exchange cultivation experiences?"
The rotten baby said, "The method of qi induction and qi refining is much the same, the cultivation of qi refining period is just a one-by-one absorption and refining, and there are no special skills, even if there is, people who have learned the advanced exercises Yunyang Qi refining recipe will not pass it on." ”
Yan Yue still yearns for the fighting method in his heart. It's just that he thinks that those people at the exchange meeting will not really confess their unique secrets to everyone, and most of what they say is well-known skills and boasting about how good they are.
Yan Yue still declined the kindness of the rotten baby.
The rotten baby had no choice but to go alone.
He was enlightened at the age of eight, with a medium-grade spiritual light qualification, and at this time he was already at the advanced level of qi refining, and his daily life was carefree.
And Yan Yue is different from him.
After Yan Yue changed his residence, he felt the rich aura of this place, and he didn't do the sect tasks during the day every day, and he didn't go to the wild to cultivate at night. He longed for the trading conference, the fighting experience exchange conference, etc., but he didn't want to waste a little time, so he locked the door, hung up the hurried card, and practiced behind closed doors in the house every day.
"Senior Brother Yan, although you have been named a unique cultivation activist by the sect master, your disciple level is still a formal disciple, and you still need to complete one sect task every month. ”
Yan Yue lived in seclusion every day, not to perform his duties, and the steward of the official disciple heard that Yan Yue did not go to Wenyang Linggu for half a month before, so he couldn't help but worry, and ran to Yan Yue's residence to urge him to carry out the task of the sect.
Yan Yue walked out of the house, his face was full of irritability, and he said angrily: "Senior Brother Lao is here." ”
The steward heard that Yan Yue had provoked the disciples of the entire sect with wild words, and even the sect master dared to scold, how could he dare to offend Yan Yue, with a smile on his face, he took out a book, and said: "Senior Brother Yan, the tasks that formal disciples need to perform are all here, Senior Brother is here, so you can choose first." ”
Formal disciples, compared with registered disciples, are more relaxed, and only need to complete a relatively simple sect task every month, and then work more and get more, and each time you complete a sect task, you can get a low-grade spirit stone.
Yan Yue calculated the efficiency of completing the tasks of the sect, with his cultivation, he worked hard every month, and he could only complete three or four at most, and these few spirit stones, for him, were equal to nothing.
But he knew that he couldn't escape it, so he took the book and read it.
The rotten baby passed by Yan Yue's house, and asked for some housekeeping to find an easier task for Yan Yue.
The steward hurriedly nodded, flipped to the end of the book, pointed to an inconspicuous place, and said diligently: "Senior Brother Yan, look at these few, help the elders feed the ten-day spirit beast and forge three catties of refining materials...... These are some of the easiest tasks. ”
Yan Yue ignored his recommendation, flipped by himself, and said as he flipped over: "Aren't these the tasks of the registered disciples?"
The steward patted his thigh and said, "So, it's easy for formal disciples!"
Yan Yue glanced at him lightly, thinking about it, these easy tasks were all prepared by him for formal disciples with backgrounds.
Yan Yue wanted to find those tasks at the beginning, which could be carried out and cultivated at the same time, but he had another idea in his mind, and after turning it over, a glimmer of light instantly appeared in his eyes, "That's it!"
The steward looked at it fixedly, and the task that Yan Yue wanted to perform was to help Elder Huang, the spirit winemaker.
This task is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say that it is simple, but it requires a certain amount of experience, usually a few people are doing it, and the steward does not understand why Yan Yue is willing to give up the best and ask for the second, and some are guilty: "Elder Huang refining wine, there is no room for any negligence, junior brother, you ......"
"Huh?" Yan Yue frowned, hugged his fists and said, "I have already chosen the task, and Senior Brother Lao will help me arrange it." ”
Yan Yue's words carried an unquestionable tone, which was usually used by Elder Zhuji when he ordered people to do things.
Although the steward was a sixth-level Qi Refining cultivator, he had heard that the person in front of him had broken the body-protecting true element of a person with the same cultivation as him with a kitchen knife when he was in the "Second Layer of Qi Refining", and this person had reached the fourth level of Qi refining at this time, and then he would use a kitchen knife......
Thinking of this, the steward's body couldn't help but tremble violently, and he said helplessly: "Since Senior Brother is willing to accept this matter, if something goes wrong at that time, you can't complain about me." ”
In the past few days, Yan Yue was thinking about how to turn chicken rib wine into dogtail wine, and he had no clue, so he asked his senior brother and master, and they all said that they had never heard of such a skill of concealing the world, or that Elder Huang, who was a spirit wine master, knew this skill.
However, Elder Huang's status was high, and people who were idle couldn't see him, so Yan Yue wanted to contact him while he was doing the sect's mission.
In the Yunyang Sect, the Zhuji Elders are divided into deacon elders and Chuangong elders, the former is responsible for handling external affairs, the latter is responsible for teaching the disciples in the sect, and the sect master leads the two and manages all affairs, big and small.
But in these human worlds, there is another special existence, that is, Elder Huang, the spirit wine master.
In the cultivation world, the strong are respected, the wine is noble, and all the famous wine refining teachers and wine tasters are all in the position.
As the only spirit wine master in the sect, Elder Huang's status was second only to that of the sect master.
The duties he needs to fulfill in the sect are only to refine wine, and there is no need to do other complicated things, and the rest of the time can be used for retreat and cultivation, and he has a generous monthly income.
After Yan Yue took over the task of giving Elder Huang a hand, he accompanied several other people who accepted the task to the place where Elder Huang was refining wine.
The person in charge of receiving them was a young man in black, Yan Yue, the first time he saw it, his brows furrowed slightly: "A few other skilled people, why didn't they come?"
Yan Yue had already thought of a rhetoric, saying that some of those people were sick, some were out, and he had made preparations before coming and had some understanding of how to refine wine.
The black-clothed young man groaned slightly, and after considering Yan Yue's few basic questions about wine refining, he said: "Since this is the case, then you can stay, but when you first arrive, you will definitely not let you come into contact with the more complicated processes, so you go to the first process to light the fire." ”
Yan Yue had just arrived, so he had to follow the arrangement.
There are several processes in refining spirit wine, the first three are: steaming, adding koji, and fermentation, which are also the three processes of making ordinary fine wine.
Everyone in the world is good at wine, most of them will make their own wine, Yan Yue was in Dashu Village, and he followed the villagers to participate in the wine-making work.
And the job he has to do here is to be in charge of lighting the fire while steaming the Spirit Valley.
He came here to contact Elder Huang and take the opportunity to ask for advice on the method of transforming the spirit wine, but in this first process, it was almost impossible to meet Elder Huang.
Burning a fire sounds simple, but the thing that can be boiled is the Spirit Valley, and if it is used to refine the spirit wine, the heat must be grasped very accurately, it needs to be strong when it should be strong, and it needs to be weak when it should be weak, and there is no carelessness.
Linggu is extraordinary, it is difficult to cook fire, and cooking Linggu requires monks to use fire spells to continuously heat the bottom of the pot.
And by a mid-level Qi refining, boiling a large pot of Spirit Valley alone must be far from being competent.
Yan Yue and some other mid-level Qi refining disciples sat cross-legged around a cauldron, their upper bodies naked, facing the bottom of the cauldron, and continued to cast fire spells.
On the side of the cauldron is a high platform, on which a middle-aged man holds a long wooden stick in his hand, stirring the grains in the pot, and from time to time instructs a few people below to control the heat.
"Well, from now on until I come back, it's all going to be slow cooked over low heat. The middle-aged man was so hot that he got off the high platform and walked out quickly.
The few people in charge of lighting the fire were all sweating profusely hot, and when the middle-aged man went out to cool off, he began to complain.
"It's still spring, it's hot to death, and if it's summer, I don't know what to do. ”
"Hey, who called us the least talented, fortunately, Elder Huang took us in, you are still not satisfied. ”
"By the way, Senior Brother Yan, didn't you go straight to the fourth level of qi refining within a month and was personally named a cultivation activist by the sect master, how could you come here and do this hot and difficult rough work?"
These people were all the least talented, and none of them were willing to accept the fourth layer of Qi refining as disciples, but they were taken in by Elder Huang, and they were responsible for steaming the Spirit Valley here all year round.
Yan Yue didn't expect that the job of burning the fire would be so tiring, not to mention being in the fire cellar, under the continuous use of spells, it was difficult for him to be distracted and cultivate at the same time, and sighed and said: "It's hard to say." ”
"Anyway, there are only a few days in a month, and after all this batch of spirit valleys is steamed and cooked, it will be no longer our business. ”
Yan Yue did this rough work here, it was not without any benefit, he continued to use the fire spell until the mana was exhausted, and the proficiency of his fire spell and the recovery speed of mana were all slightly improved.
Moreover, he has mastered a technique to keep the flames going.
Ordinary people use fire spells such as fire snake magic, the existence of flames is limited, after the flame appears between the fingers, even if it is not popped, it will dissipate after a while, if you still want to produce flames, you have to make the next fire spell.
And the people here can learn a unique fire control technique that Elder Huang can't learn from the outside, that is, after the flame is generated, the flame can be continuously consumed, although the mana is also continuously consumed, but there is no need to chant the spell again.
At dinner time, today's work was over, but Yan Yue did not go back immediately, but came to Elder Huang.
A young man stopped Yan Yue in his way.
Yan Yue hugged his fists and said: "This senior brother, senior brother Yan Yue, when I came here today, I still have something unfamiliar with the fire control technique that makes the flames continuous, and I want to consult Elder Huang, hoping to make it convenient." ”
The young man said, "Master, his old man, how can you see him if you want to, go back quickly." ”
Yan Yue felt that cooking rice and lighting the fire every day was not a thing, so he planned to take the initiative to find Elder Huang, but the truth was as he expected, it was not so easy to see Elder Huang.
Just as he was about to turn back, he heard an old voice from inside the room, "Let him in." ”
