Chen Yi sat at the low table and looked at the jade slip, and saw that He Miaomiao's cultivation was even the ninth layer of qi refining, and his aura was very stable, but it was clearly a sign of new advancement.

He got up and congratulated her: "Congratulations, He Daoyou is really young and promising!"

"Steward Chen is polite, it took more than two full years to advance, and he really can't do it. ”

He Miaomiao's words were not polite, she really felt that her spiritual root cultivation was too slow.

If it is a three-spirit root cultivator, he should refine the tenth layer of qi in two years, and he will soon break through the eleventh layer. Not to mention the Twin Spirit Roots, when He Shuangling died, he was about to break through the twelfth layer of Qi Refining.

The middle and late stages of Qi refining were only the second small hurdle in the cultivation process, but it took her more than two years to break through.

And in the later stage, the advancement of every small realm will no longer be as simple and easy as before, and she doesn't know how much time it will take.

Hearing this, Chen Yi shook his head at her with his hands behind his back, and said:

"The old man advanced to the late stage, but it took four whole years! Later, every time he advanced, it took four or five years of effort, alas... Now there is no benefit in refining qi perfectly... You are young, if you put it together, it is not hopeless to build a foundation. ”

He Miaomiao's kindness to strangers is also limited, no matter how polite and sincere Chen Yi is, she will not be inexplicably moved by him, and talk about the difficulties in cultivation from the bottom of her heart.

"Then thank you for Steward Chen's auspicious words. After speaking, he opened the topic, exchanged a few casual greetings, and went straight into the inner courtyard.

During the Qi refining period, the divine consciousness could not control the operation of the Danding at all, so he could only learn the spiritual grass, purify the medicinal liquid, and understand the basics of mutual growth and mutual restraint. This stage is known as an alchemy apprentice.

In the early stage of foundation building, the sea of knowledge was broadened, and with enough divine consciousness to manipulate the Danding, he could officially refine some simple pills with the help of earth fire or Danhuo talismans.

If you want to learn alchemy, you must have two kinds of spiritual roots, firewood, so that when you operate, you don't need to waste time and transform spiritual power in your body.

The Wood Spirit Root Cultivator can emit a wood aura with mild characteristics and the same source as the Spirit Plant, and will not harm the Spirit Root Root. The Fire Spirit Root Monk can better manipulate the fire source, greatly reducing the failure rate.

Every alchemist wasted tens of millions of spirit grass in the early stage in order to accumulate successful experience.

Moreover, not every monk who studies alchemy can successfully advance to an alchemist.

Some people have studied all their lives, and the success rate is extremely low, even if the cultivation is high, they can only be called apprentices.

Generally speaking, refining a furnace of pills is to place the spirit grass according to the amount of ten pills, if the pills are less than three pills after being baked, it can only be regarded as a failure.

Because there are more waste pills than Cheng Dan, I am afraid that even the cost may not be earned.

As an alchemist, you must also have strong strength, and the fighting method must not be delayed.

Because when looking for high-level spirit grass, you will inevitably encounter demon beasts and monks to snatch it, if your strength is not too strong, maybe you will fall outside if you find the spirit grass once.

What's more, many Dan recipes are kept secret and collected by sects, families, or high-level cultivators. If you want to get Danfang, you must either rob it, or you will only be left to look for it in the Relic Mansion. In either case, strength is needed to ensure it.

According to He Zhengchu, there are not many alchemists in the Lingnan Mountains, and there may only be three or two of them, and Nian Youlan happens to be one of them.

So in addition to the threat of strange fire, He Miaomiao was able to learn under her, which can be regarded as a blessing.

To be an alchemy apprentice, you don't need too many requirements, as long as you have a little talent and work hard, you will basically successfully refine the spirit grass into a medicinal liquid.

However, Dan Dao can also be regarded as wide in and strict out, and those who can achieve the ultimate in apprenticeship are likely to learn the true way of refining after building the foundation.

He Miaomiao placed the jade bottle in front of her, controlled a dew grass, and suspended it in front of her.

A gentle wood spirit power swam out of her body, enveloping all the dew grass, and constantly squeezing it to gradually turn into medicinal liquid, and under the control of her divine sense, it turned into a thick mass of mucus, trembling and floating in the air.

In the morning, she just observed the operation of the New Year's Youlan, which seemed very easy and simple, but she realized that this was not the case when she got started.

Spiritual power must be mastered very precisely, and it cannot be squeezed too much. If the medicine residue is completely turned into powder and integrated into the liquid, it will affect the future alchemy.

The divine consciousness must not only look for and remove impurities, but also control the liquid medicine and the residue so that they do not blend with each other, and at the same time, it must float steadily in the air and not fall.

It was very exhausting to be single-minded, and soon she was overwhelmed, and if she didn't pay attention, the liquid medicine fell to the ground with a click, and was smashed by the dregs that fell later, splashing her face with green liquid.

He Miaomiao waved her hand and threw the discarded medicine aside, wiped the liquid medicine on her face, and said in her heart, "In the future, you have to divide your mind and protect your body." If it's some kind of highly poisonous herb, a drop of it might kill me. ”

She was not frustrated, calmly analyzed her own operations, and found that everything was smooth at first, but it was only when she began to remove impurities that it became difficult to control.

"It seems that today's cultivation is still difficult to concentrate on several uses. After removing the impurities, the liquid medicine must be squeezed and purified before it can be included in the jade bottle. In this way, I can't do it with my sense. ”

Thinking of this, she didn't start directly and continue practicing, but went out of the inner courtyard and came to the lobby to ask Chen Yi.

"Steward Chen, was the previous apprentice also in the Qi refining period, I just discovered that with my divine sense, it was not enough to persist in the refining process. ”

Chen Yi smiled, motioned for her to sit down and rest for a while, and served her a cup of low-level spiritual tea before slowly speaking:

"Why are you so desperate, who said that refining the liquid medicine should be in place at one time? After you separate the liquid medicine from the residue, first put it into the jade bottle for later use, until all the other spirit herbs are separated, and then slowly remove and purify it?"

"Can it still be like this?" Nian Youlan took one step yesterday, and Wu Tianlin came to the door, she didn't know that the medicinal liquid could still touch the jade bottle halfway, "Will this place have an impact on the medicinal properties?"

"Hey, hey, hey... The impact, of course, is there. Chen Yi stroked his long beard before he said, "But the owner is gentle to people, and even if he finds out, he will turn a blind eye." ”

"You're only refining the ninth layer of qi, and it's very good to be able to separate the medicine residue and liquid medicine. In fact, this is also the unspoken rule of apprenticeship in the store, and everyone comes here like this. ”

He Miaomiao only then understood. As an apprentice in the shop, the cultivation will not be too high. If you want to earn this spirit stone, you have to find ways to refine the medicinal liquid, anyway, the alchemy is also sold out, and everyone doesn't care much about it.

Naturally, she won't change the rules, and she won't be stupid enough to take the usual path, and she has to exhaust her divine sense to get it all at once.

As long as you can practice the two steps now, you will be able to integrate them together in the future, and there will be no mistakes.
