Chapter Seventy-Five: Alchemy and Raising Spirit Beasts
Chapter Seventy-Five: Alchemy and Raising Spirit Beasts
The day after Nangong Quan and Qin Feng finished chatting, Nangong Quan found that his house was occupied, and he slept in his yard inexplicably, even if he was in the foundation building period now, he would not catch a cold, but he couldn't leave himself outside.
Then Qin Feng touched Nangong Quan's head and told him about the so-called other world in Qin Feng's mouth, Nangong Quan didn't think about last night, but Nangong Quan still had a lot of questions about that different world, but he was very busy during the day, since he had passed the exam, then he still needed to stay in Shushan, but in the eyes of outsiders, he seemed to come in through the back door, and did not learn any swordsmanship in Shushan, but ran to the Refining Peak and the Spirit Beast Peak, and there are two kinds of people who run to these two peaks, one is the beast tamer and the refining alchemist, and the other is the subordinate who runs errands, Nangong Quan must be the kind of high-level subordinate.
During the day, the elders would not allow Nangong Quan to be late or lazy, and wanted to sleep lazily? Impossible, there have been a few times when Nangong Quan has slept, and when he woke up, he found that he was wearing underwear and staying in the refining room or alchemy room, a group of children around him watched, Nangong Quan has never been late again, as for how he passed, heh, Elder Zhou Ding beckoned, Nangong Quan was at his refining peak, and when he was napping, there was immediately a basin of ice water poured on his head, that feeling, tsk, Nangong Quan wanted to go crazy, but the master and uncle were domineering and exposed, and they were not here, he could only give in silently.
Evening was Nangong Quan's freest day, because everyone would gather in his small courtyard at night, no, it was already Qin Feng's courtyard. In his courtyard, Su Xue and the others gathered together, around a big table, eating and chatting, listening to Qin Feng talk about his dreams, originally Su Xue and the others were not interested, in Nangong Quan's strong stay, everyone still stayed, every night, a group of them would go or lie down or lie on the hillside and look at the stars, listening to Qin Feng talk about the inexplicable wonderful things that seemed to be real and illusory, the days have passed a month, everyone has understood a lot, and their thoughts have changed a lot.
Although they don't admit that Qin Feng is a person from another world, they only think that he is a fool and a dream, but this dream seems to be his perception, and there is something to be examined, after combining their things, the people around them gradually divide the boundary with them, thinking that Qin Feng has led them crazy, thinking differently, speaking in different ways, this is what they think is "crazy". Su Xue and the others gradually understood Qin Feng's behavior, and gradually, with Qin Feng as the leader, Su Xue and Aotian's second team were established.
The name of the team is called: "Wind and Snow Day", Qin Feng's definition of it is that no matter what adversity they are in, they can face difficulties, just as, against the wind and snow, soaring in the huge sky, even if the wind and snow are in front of them, even if they don't know what the situation ahead is, they believe that there will always be a place where they can settle and rest.
In the team, there are many talents, although this is only a small team composed of outer disciples, but the potential of the team members cannot be underestimated. Nangong Quan saw clearly the shortcomings in the team, that is, himself, his strength is the weakest, if the team attacks together, then he will become a breakthrough point in the eyes of others, so to change, his cultivation talent is not good, but he has a chance, the great elder of Shushan is his master, the second elder and the third elder are his uncle, and the relationship is also good.
Since then, Nangong Quan has begun to study seriously, first of all, he recalled all the things he had seen about refining weapons, alchemy, and raising spirit beasts, but he knew that these might not be of much use, and specific things must be actually operated by hand to learn, and practice is the only way to produce talents.
However, Nangong Quan knew that his hands-on ability was not strong, and he had no chance to contact it at all, refining his own fire system exercises were unique but could not be maintained for a long time, and due to his physical condition, many raw materials that needed to be beaten and refined could not be handled, not to mention that he himself had no money and no materials to refine. He can't even tell the quality of the spirit grass, let alone the next various refining methods, take 10,000 steps back, even if he can identify the quality of the spirit grass, he doesn't have a strong divine sense to support the state of the herbs in the Dan furnace, not to mention, the herbs can't be touched by the Dan furnace, Nangong Quan's ability to let the spirit grass float in the air is very good, not to mention that it has to be maintained for so long. Alas, God knows how low the success rate of the rune array is, Nangong Quan doesn't have much money to buy those to practice, drawing the rune is a very cumbersome process, the rune is very critical, and the lines on it are the most important, so the people who draw the rune array are all rich people, either the second generation of immortals, or he is very rich.
However, Nangong Quan knew that the elders took good care of him, and the refining alchemy would always let Nangong Quan watch from the sidelines, although there were many people watching from the sidelines, Nangong Quan knew that this was for the elders to let them learn on the side, and after watching it for a long time, he would know the process, and occasionally he would try it, draw a few runes everywhere, refine a piece of mortal iron, carefully distinguish the spirit grass, watch the refining of the pill, listen to the elders preaching on the side, although learning is boring, but it is also a lot of fun.
Time passed quickly, Nangong Quan learned a lot, two months, he has grown up a lot, this day he came to the alchemy room as usual, squeaked and pushed open the door, but saw a basin of waste pill residue on the ground, which made Nangong Quan very depressed, who is this refining Dan, such a waste, if it fails, it will fail, if you have to die duck and continue to try, so many precious elixirs, Nangong Quan feels extremely distressed.
As soon as he looked up and saw Zhou Ding sitting in a high position, rubbing his forehead with his right hand, and frowning deeply, Nangong Quan was startled at first, and then he was stunned and hurriedly lowered his head and started to work. So many medicinal materials were all refined and wasted by the elders?No, how could the elders fail so many times with such a high rate of becoming pills? It's the first time Nangong Quan has seen it for so many days, and looking at it like this, there is no one around, this is not something they can see, let themselves come in is to let themselves bring the medicine residue to the Spirit Beast Peak, some of the medicine residue is a treasure and some are poisons, generally speaking, the failed pill can either be fertile land or can be fed to the spirit beast, increase cultivation, since the elder does not stop himself from coming in, it means that these medicine residues are harmless, and they have not done it once or twice to feed the spirit beast with the medicine residue, although the spirit beast gate does not like to eat this kind of thing stuck in the throat, but they know that these are good things when they smell it, and eating it is beneficial to themselves, but there are exceptions。
The bald bird, which the elder regarded as a treasure, did not like to eat it, and every time he saw it, he would tilt his head away fiercely, as if to say, "I don't eat this kind of thing." "Nangong Quan has no choice, he can only prepare another food for it, although these things are small, but they are also extremely important, the elders did not let others interfere in this matter, only Nangong Quan can do it, this is his trust, because, before there was a Dan Tong who sold the medicine residue to Sanxiu, so that Sanxiu could get the Dan prescription to make the pill and sell it at a low price, which made Shushan lose a lot of money, and feeding the spirit beasts is even more trust in Nangong Quan, Elder Xu regards these spirit beasts as his own children, he can not allow these spirit beasts to make half a mistake, fortunately, Nangong Quan is careful, there is no big mess, otherwise even if he is his apprentice, it is useless。
Nangong Quan poured the medicine residue into the storage bag that the elder gave him, and after a while, only half of it was left, the elder was still frowning, not knowing what he was thinking, Nangong Quan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of something. ran out of the door in a hurry, and after a while, I saw him release a large tank of water from the storage bag, which attracted Zhou Ding's attention: "What are you doing?"
Nangong Quandao: "Uncle Hui, it's like this, I brought the medicine residue to the spirit beasts before, they all thought it was too dry, and it was uncomfortable to eat and get stuck in their throats, and they kept coughing, so the disciple thought that if these medicine residues were rubbed into pills like making pills, maybe the spirit beasts would like it." ”
Zhou Ding thought for a while: "It's okay, you can continue, it must be done before noon, this seat has ordered them not to enter until noon, and there will be a lot of trouble when other disciples come in, do you know?"
Nangong Quandao: "Yes, the disciple has the courage to ask what kind of pill Uncle Shi refined, how could he fail so much?"
Zhou Ding paused and said: " Originally, other disciples dared to ask such a question, and this seat would definitely regard it as a spy, directly abolish the cultivation, and expel it from Shushan, but, since you asked, I will tell you, this refining is the Dingyan Pill, you also know that the immortal cultivator will basically maintain the appearance of the foundation after building the foundation, but it will slowly grow old over time, unlike mortals who are already old when they pass away, and the immortal cultivator will not age too quickly, unless the person has died and is unable to return to the sky, at that time, he will age very quickly, and he will basically not look old in a year or two, and although this Dingyan Pill is not a top pill, but the refining is extremely cumbersomeAfter taking it, the appearance of the body will remain unchanged for the rest of your life, unless there is a major injury that will leave a wound or be disfigured. This was a friend who asked me to refine it, and a batch of medicinal herbs only succeeded in less than ten pills. ”
Nangong Quan rushed and said: "The medicinal materials must be bad." Zhou Ding smiled: "That's right, this medicinal material was found by him with great difficulty, some of the medicinal materials have died, and some have been eaten by spirit insects, I owe him a favor, he asked me to practice that batch of medicinal materials into Dingyan Dan, how much I don't remember, I also practiced, it's just that the number of achievements is too far from what I imagined, it's just that, there is nothing to say about it, you are busy with yours." ”
After saying that, he disappeared, Nangong Quan smiled, I see, there is such a good thing, when will I ask the elder to take two and give them to my mother and father, so that they will not be old. He thought very well, but the Dingyan Pill could only fix the appearance and could not prolong his life, but he was very happy and thought about how to get two.
Noon has passed, Nangong Quan also left the refining peak, soon, he came to the spirit beast peak, he did not delay, directly went to the peak, after a long time he finally arrived, panting he did not rest, but beckoned these captive spirit beasts to eat, he knew that every day he would be very tired, not only to appease those spirit beasts to eat, but also to run around to help this pat on the back, help that handing water, more victorious, eat choked Nangong Quan also have to find a way, looking at all kinds of spirit cranes, spirit birds, Nangong Quan always has an indescribable sense of pride, these are equivalent to his children, watching them thrive, he is very happy, but, before this he still has something to do。
I saw him open the storage bag and walk towards the trough with a smile: "Come on, come on, come closer, I'm eating elixir today, I'm busy for you, come on, take a look" As he spoke, he took out the "elixir" rubbed in the storage bag, these spirit beasts thought it was medicine residue when they heard it, and they were really ready to run away, but when Nangong Quan took out the "elixir", something strange happened. Not only did these spirit beasts not run away, but they rushed to eat the elixir in the trough first, for fear that they would not be able to eat it.
This really scared Nangong Quan, he first stayed where he was and then said happily: "Don't rob it, everyone has a share, there are many elixirs today, don't grab actinium, hey, long legs, don't eat if you choke, come and drink some fairy dew." Short-haired, not allowed to get things to the ground" Even the hairless birds that have not eaten the elixir for a hundred years come to eat a few bites.
A commotion on the Spirit Beast Peak alarmed Xu Feng, when he arrived at the top of the Spirit Beast Peak, he saw the bulging bellies of all the spirit beasts, lying comfortably on the ground and sleeping, and Nangong Quan was still busy here, helping this Shun Qi, helping that one to cover his stomach, seeing that the master was coming, he politely came over to visit, Xu Feng waved his hand to exempt him: "Tell me, what is the situation?"
Nangong Quan touched his head and told all the things from this morning to the present, Xu Feng twisted his chin and said: "So strange? What's going on? Just because you rubbed the dregs into pills? So what's the matter with my Xiaoqi, it never eats this dregs, even if you rub it into pills, it won't eat it, and what's the matter with its resentful eyes, I've never seen it show this look before." ”
Nangong Quan was in a cold sweat: "And master, Xiao Qi's resentful eyes are mainly aimed at me, two days ago I saw it eating, and I caught a glimpse of a yellow thing on it, I thought it was a weed, but I pulled it out, and as a result, Xiao Qi chased me and chased two peaks, and then it was pressed to the ground and beaten, and today it has this look." ”
When Xu Feng heard this, he almost couldn't help but beat Nangong Quan, Xiao Qi didn't have any hair on his body, Nangong Quan also plucked it, so it's strange if he doesn't hate him. It's just that why are the spirit beasts all abnormally scrambling to eat that medicine residue?
Xu Feng asked Nangong Quan to show him the rest of the pills, Nangong Quan took them out of the storage bag, and handed them to Xu Feng, Xu Feng pinched them with two fingers, crushed the pills, and looked at the pills carefully
