Chapter 56: The Secret of Alchemy
In the spacious pavilion, in front of a vermilion wooden cabinet, an innocent girl in a pale pink tights dress is standing elegantly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The slightly soft sunlight shines through the half-hidden window sashes on both sides, gently covering the girl's delicate body, like a gorgeous gold veil, perfectly outlining the girl's delicate body curves.
On the fair-skinned pretty face, there is a warm smile, mixed with the elegant atmosphere around it, which looks more and more moving.
At this moment, the girl's seductive autumn eyes are staring at the handsome young man in front of her with a bit of joy and an inexplicable charm, and the charming meaning that gradually comes out of her gaze is to make the men around her fall in love with her.
Even though the girl is only twelve years old now, but between her gestures, she has revealed her unworldly temperament, and when the girl grows up in the future, she will inevitably fall out of the country and the city, and she will be overwhelmed.
"Brother Liu Yi, what, what I told you just now, do you understand?" The slender jade onion finger tapped the blood ginseng essence in the brocade box, the girl raised her white jade neck, groaned slightly, and after a while, Fang smiled indifferently, her red lips opened slightly, and asked softly.
Hearing this, Liu Yi shook his head in embarrassment, smiled a little bitterly, and then responded in a low voice: "I know, this is blood ginseng essence, it is a spirit cultivated by blood ginseng for thousands of years, three taels a year, heh, it's not simple." ”
Although Liu Yi also read a lot of books and classics in Taoguang Pavilion in this more than a month, none of them involved "medicine".
Therefore, Liu Yi naturally didn't know what kind of difference existed between the two kinds of blood ginseng that he saw with his own eyes.
But when the word "spirit" lingered in Liu Yi's ears, a series of corresponding knowledge suddenly appeared in Liu Yi's mind.
Spirit monsters are a species that can only be indirectly formed after relying on long-term cultivation to precipitate a sufficient amount of heaven and earth essence qi in their bodies.
All things in the world, all those who have spirituality, can use this as the Dharma, cultivate their bodies, and gradually embark on the path of immortals.
However, due to the different physiques, different attributes, and different lives between species, the time to cultivate spirits is also different.
For example, the "Blood Ginseng Essence" mentioned in Murong Xue's mouth, because of its weak size and single attribute, it would take thousands of years to be effective.
It is precisely for this reason that its selling price is so expensive, which is in line with the saying: time is the best way to accumulate money.
"Brother Liu Yi doesn't understand the deep meaning, it's normal, after all, in addition to the people in our auction who will study these things, the only thing left is the so-called "alchemist". With a light smile indifferently, Murong Xue's seductive eyes narrowed slightly into a beautiful crescent moon, and between the soft words, her figure turned into a beautiful shadow, which turned to a table not far away, and slowly sat down.
"Alchemist, what is this title, why haven't I heard of it?" After a moment's hesitation, Liu Yi walked over to the table, and after smiling bitterly as if a little embarrassed, he asked in a low voice.
Since Liu Yi became a secret disciple, there have been some pills and medicinal baths in his daily life.
But even so, Liu Yi didn't have the slightest understanding of it, and it could even be said that he didn't know anything about it.
Therefore, when he heard the word "alchemist", Liu Yifang showed such a confused appearance.
Hearing this, Murong Xue's seductive eyes widened a little involuntarily, and after staring at Liu Yi's body for a moment, Fang Yi shook his head indifferently and chuckled: "I didn't expect that Brother Liu Yi, as a secret disciple, had never heard of the 'Alchemist', which was really a bit unexpected to me." ”
"Everyone has their strengths, and the fields that have not been involved are naturally very poor, if it is convenient, please ask Miss Murong to explain a thing or two to me, Liu Yi should be grateful. Regarding Murong Xue's words, Liu Yi did not make any rebuttal, but responded to the other party's warm smile, and then pleaded in a low voice.
"Okay, since Brother Liu Yi has spoken, then I will explain to you what kind of person the so-called alchemist is. As soon as Yue'er's words came out of the other party's mouth, a crisp snap of his fingers suddenly appeared in front of Liu Yi, and a moment later, an entourage who came with him sent a brown and yellow scroll to Murong Xue's hand.
Yan Ran smiled lightly, Murong Xue tapped her delicate chin, and Qiushui's eyes were projected onto the scroll in her hand.
After a moment's hesitation, the scroll slowly opened on the surface of the table in a rolling manner under the control of the other party's palm.
Suddenly, a black tripod pattern drawn like clouds and mist gradually met Liu Yi's eyes, making his expression a little surprised in an instant.
On the body of this black tripod, there are strange patterns painted with strange patterns, although the lines have never formed a connection, but in the vague, adding a bit of strange mysterious atmosphere to it.
Above Ding's body, Sen Ran's bloodthirsty dragon's mouth opened angrily, releasing a frightening and violent aura.
At the lower end of the body, the gorgeous nine-feather phoenix tail extends out, and wisps of solemn aura around the phoenix tail surround it, mixed with the violent aura above it, which seems slightly abrupt.
The slightest mist around the body of the tripod is in the dark, playing a subtle neutralizing role, indirectly fusing the abruptness between the two, and forming a strange aura applied to the black tripod, so that the mysterious aura released by itself is strengthened again.
The slender fingers tapped the black tripod on the scroll, Murong Xue smiled kindly, and suddenly, a warm and soft charm swept out from his pretty cheeks, and lingered around Liu Yi's periphery for a long time, making his body tremble unnoticeably at this moment.
"Brother Liu Yi, this is a Danding that is circulated in the alchemist line, it is said to be used by Taishang Laojun for alchemy, whether the specific origin is true or not, in fact, I don't know very well, but what I can tell you is that all alchemists are from this Danding to participate in the Dan Dao, and use the Dan Dao indirectly to embark on the road of cultivating immortals. As she spoke, the tips of Murong Xue's fingers faintly flowed out a layer of strange luster, and under the light touch, a strange halo changed on the surface of the Danding.
Between the halos, the dragon and phoenix beasts above and below Danding, as if they had been given life, suddenly opened their eyes that were slightly narrowed, and suddenly, two strange streamers of blue and red interlaced suddenly released from the surface of the scroll, and followed Liu Yi's eyes straight into his mind, making his cheeks slightly surprised at this moment.
"Brother Liu Yi, to give you a very simple example, the medicines you see on weekdays are all divided into upper, middle and lower grades, and within the three grades, they are divided into four stages according to the cultivation stage of the Immortal Dao, with the stars being the lowest and the heavens being the highest. As he spoke, a packet of white medicinal powder suddenly appeared on the surface of his palm, and after a moment of silence, he explained again: "This thing is the elixir of Xingchen Yipin, and its effect is strong or weak, I guess you can know it at a glance." ”
"Well, the powdered thing, along with the pill, is called the pill, but the potency is far less powerful than the pill. Hearing this, Liu Yi nodded affirmatively, and then responded with a chuckle.
"That's right, this powdery thing is made by a low-grade alchemist, and the alchemist at this stage, to put it bluntly, is the doctor we see every day, because his body can't condense the aura smoothly, so when refining the pill, he can't make the medicinal power condense, so the shape is so loose. At this point, Murong Xue's slender fingers lightly pointed to a pale cyan pill placed on the top floor of the vermilion wood cabinet not far away.
Casting his gaze away, the moment the mellow body of the pill floated out of Liu Yi's sight, an inexplicable coveting charm quietly rose in his heart.
The seductive beautiful eyes slightly looked at the appearance that Liu Yi was showing at this moment, Murong Xue nodded her chin happily, then chuckled, and explained again: "Being able to refine the elixir with a mellow medicinal body means that this person's level has reached the stage of middle grade, and within his body, he has been able to smoothly condense the aura at this moment, and it will have a certain impact on the elixir itself." ”
"As for the top-grade elixir, in daily life, we have no chance to see it at all, even in the Treasure Pavilion with the title of "Treasure of the World", there are only a handful of two, hehe, after all, the person who can reach the top-grade alchemist, the degree of aura in his body is already comparable to that of a Tianyu-level monk, so it is still unknown whether there is a top-grade alchemist in the world today. The warm smile, coupled with a melodious voice like a bell, makes a soft charm rise out of thin air in the knowledge he tells.
"Today's alchemist level is not yet complete, so we still plan it according to the level of the monk, the star stage is the lower grade, the moon and the corona are the middle grade, and the celestial stage is the upper grade. After saying that, the other party slowly stood up, smiled at Liu Yiyan in front of him, and then closed the scroll on the table.
The arm was raised slightly, and the scroll held in the palm of his hand was sent to Liu Yi's face, and he groaned slightly, and after a while, Murong Xue smiled lightly and said in a low voice: "This scroll will be given to Brother Liu Yi, with your intelligent talent, I believe you can also learn a lot of things from this Danding, if one day Brother Liu Yi becomes an alchemist at the high-grade stage, maybe our Treasure Pavilion will have to rely on your care." ”
