Chapter 171: Stealing Teachers and Learning Arts
.
At this moment, most of the alchemists invited to the scene had unconcealed the doubts in their hearts, staring at Zhao Zhen tightly, as if they wanted to see Zhao Zhen, a junior who was not self-sufficient, making a fool of himself in front of everyone. A junior in the Jindan stage delusionally wanted to cooperate with many famous alchemists to refine the Heaven Winning Pill, at least he had to weigh his own ability first.
"Senior, although the strength is weak, but he still has self-knowledge!" Respectfully addressing Deng Chao as a senior, Zhao Zhen slowly stood up from his seat and said: "For a fourth-grade alchemist, which things have the ability to refine and which things do not, at least it is still clear!"
When Zhao Zhen was invited to the Immortal Alliance by Hong Libo, many alchemists were not optimistic about Zhao Zhen, although Zhao Zhen was very calm at that time, it didn't mean that Zhao Zhen didn't mind. Now, before he started refining the Heaven Snatching Pill, some people questioned Zhao Zhen's alchemy level, if Zhao Zhen didn't stand up, then I am afraid it would make people think that Zhao Zhen was a mediocre talent, so he would not dare to speak out in the face of other people's doubts.
Moreover, refining the Heaven Snatching Pill requires everyone to cooperate sincerely and work together, the most important of which is to make the best use of people, if the alchemists present are not optimistic about Zhao Zhen, presumably Zhao Zhen will not be able to start to exert his alchemy level when assigning tasks. In this case, if everyone succeeded in refining the Heaven Winning Pill, they would not feel that Zhao Zhen could have much credit, and if the refining failed, then these alchemists would definitely blame Zhao Zhen for their mistakes.
"Hmph!" staring at Zhao Zhen half-paid, Deng Chao couldn't help but snort coldly, but his eyes did not hide his contempt for Zhao Zhen at all. Just now, Deng Chao didn't expect Zhao Zhen, a junior in the Jindan period, to dare to speak against himself, but this kind of opportunity to refine the Tiandan's fame in the world, a junior ran over, purely to add to the chaos, Deng Chao didn't think that Zhao Zhen was an indispensable figure, and he still couldn't help but remind him loudly: "Only do what you should do, don't try to participate in anything else, miss the big event of alchemy, don't blame us for being polite!"
Although it is said to be a reminder, it may be more appropriate to use threats to describe Deng Chao's tone at the moment. As for the other alchemists, they didn't say anything, sitting in their seats with their eyes closed. The alchemists present, the worst cultivator is also a master who is several realms higher than Zhao Zhen, I can't imagine that at this moment, I would actually have to refine medicine with a junior in the Jindan stage, it is estimated that if it weren't for Liu Changsheng's face, I am afraid that there are not a few of these people who want to coax Zhao Zhen out of the hall directly.
"You're welcome?" Hearing Deng Chao's threat, Zhao Zhen frowned slightly, and then slapped his head, and suddenly smiled with a big smile: "I'm confused, I don't know who is the leader of this Immortal Alliance?" Here, Deng Chao's predecessor seems to be able to be the master of the house, and dispose of it at will. ”
After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, Deng Chao's face had become a little wrong. Although Deng Chao was a fourth-grade alchemist invited by the Immortal Alliance to refine the Heaven Snatching Pill, it was not his turn to speak here. Pointing fingers at the territory of the Immortal Alliance, and even directly threatening another fourth-grade alchemist invited by Liu Changsheng, the leader of the Immortal Alliance, at this moment, Deng Chao's actions were no longer a guest, but a naked slap in the face of the master.
Speaking of which, Zhao Zhen was also invited by the Immortal Alliance, just like every fourth-grade alchemist present, although everyone was different in realm, their identities were the same. Since they are all guests of the Immortal Alliance, those who come here to make noise and even threaten other guests are evil guests.
Although Deng Chao threatened Zhao Zhen in the name of refining the Heaven Snatching Pill, after all, Deng Chao himself was also like Zhao Zhen's identity, and he was an alchemist invited by the Immortal Alliance. Now, Deng Chao's approach is not to give Liu Changsheng face, and as soon as he thought of this, Liu Changsheng also frowned.
"You!" After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, Deng Chao suddenly noticed that everyone's eyes on the scene were staring at him, and in his heart, Deng Chao couldn't help but glared at Zhao Zhen fiercely, and immediately hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that!"
Alchemists are usually superior in front of monks, and no one wants to offend a promising alchemist, let alone Deng Chao from the Danding Sect. It's just that now Deng Chao is taking the robe as the substitute and pointing fingers in the Immortal Alliance, even if Liu Changsheng himself doesn't mind, but for the prestige of the Immortal Alliance, he has to come forward to speak.
"Zhao Xiaoyou was invited by my Immortal Alliance, don't mention it before!" Liu Changsheng's purpose in inviting so many alchemists to come was to refine the Heaven Winning Pill after all, so it was more natural to say something to mediate: "The success rate of refining the Heaven Winning Pill is not high, so the old man wants everyone to discuss it together, I hope everyone can cooperate sincerely, as for whether the alchemy is successful in the end, the old man will not hold everyone responsible!"
At this moment, Liu Changsheng had already spoken, where did Deng Chao dare to say anything, except for the nodding like a chicken pecking rice, he didn't dare to speak out to make things difficult for Zhao Zhen. Now Liu Changsheng is the person with the most right to speak in the Immortal Alliance, even if Deng Chao is a senior alchemist, but he will not eat the bear's heart and leopard gall to fight against a Mahayana master who is about to soar. If you want to clean up Zhao Zhen in the future, there is an opportunity, Deng Chao will naturally not be stupid enough to find himself unhappy at this juncture.
And Zhao Zhen's refutation of Deng Chao also made the other fourth-grade alchemists present look at Zhao Zhen with admiration, a junior in the Jindan stage can stand in front of many masters in the cultivation realm and talk eloquently, this is no longer something that can be described as bold, so they are not surprised. The small episode made everyone no longer dare to despise Zhao Zhen. Now that the invited four-grade alchemists are in place, the next step is the lengthy preparation process.
All the materials, Liu Changsheng had prepared them through various means before, everything was ready, only Dongfeng was owed. It's a pity that this pill in Liu Changsheng's hand was also obtained from the masters of the predecessors who had refined the Heaven Winning Pill before. The Dan recipe is not complete, it only lists the materials needed, and the refining technique is only a record of the early technique, and the final stage of fusing the Heaven Snatching Pill is incomplete, so everything needs to be tested after everyone discusses. In fact, Liu Changsheng concentrated so many four-grade alchemists here, because he didn't have much confidence in the success of the Heaven Snatching Pill, so he asked everyone to discuss it together.
There are so many materials for refining the Heaven Snatching Pill that even so many that ninety-five percent of the monks in the mortal world will be shocked. The early refining alone takes a lot of time, even if it is assigned to ten fourth-grade alchemists, it will take at least more than a month.
The Heaven Snatching Pill is completely different from those low-level pills, according to the records on the Dan Fang, if you want to refine the Heaven Snatching Pill, you must first refine dozens of top-grade pills, and then refine these dozens of pills into one, and finally inject a powerful demon beast soul into the pill as a pill spirit, so that it can finally be successfully refined.
However, because the pill in Liu Changsheng's hand was incomplete, the final step of refining the Heaven Snatching Pill was to inject the Dan Spirit into the pill and fuse it into the pill, but everyone needed to consider it repeatedly before they could decide on the final refining method. Moreover, just the dozens of top-grade pills that were refined in advance were enough to test all the alchemists present, not to mention the process of fusing the pills with the Dan Spirit in the final stage, which was simply impossible in the eyes of ordinary cultivators.
Dozens of pills, all kinds of five element attributes, each other, want to fuse together, even in the eyes of these four-grade alchemists on the scene, it is also very difficult. Classified materials, just the collection and placement occupy a storage room the size of two entire squares, and some pills need to be integrated into the internal organs or inner pills of demon beasts, not counting those huge demon beasts that are locked up by the formation.
Now, all the primary work of purifying and refining medicinal materials is all on Zhao Zhen's body, after all, the alchemists present are not at ease with Zhao Zhen's alchemy water products, if Zhao Zhen's alchemy water products are too difficult, it is not good, however, as the saying goes, real gold is not afraid of fire refining, and Zhao Zhen's performance in refining medicinal materials was quickly recognized by many alchemists, so that everyone gradually relaxed about Zhao Zhen's alchemy water products.
Zhao Zhen began the long process of refining medicinal materials, while the rest of the alchemists and Elder Hong Libo were discussing how to carry out the final step of refining, and Yu Linglong was still expressionless and stood near Zhao Zhen. After refining the medicinal materials, Zhao Zhen would be very careful to place them in the most suitable container for containment, and then carefully placed them on the other side of the Dan room. During this time, a large number of high-grade medicinal materials were refined, which also made the quality of Zhao Zhen's Baoling Furnace improve again, reaching the intermediate superb.
Since the beginning of refining, other alchemists have often come to check the refining of medicinal materials. Each time, though, they nodded silently. Zhao Zhen refined and purified the medicinal materials, and almost perfectly removed the impurities in the medicinal materials, leaving only the most essential parts. The four-grade alchemists present also had to admire, even if they were to do it, they might not be able to do it better than Zhao Zhen, and it was even very likely that they themselves would not be able to compare to Zhao Zhen.
When Deng Chao looked at Zhao Zhen, he didn't seem to have any unusual eyes, and he did his best in the discussion, and he couldn't see any dissatisfaction. However, every time everyone looked at these refined medicinal materials, there would always be a trace of killing intent reflected in their eyes, but no one noticed. The more outstanding Zhao Zhen's performance is, the more ridiculous Deng Chao's previous doubts seem to be, and Deng Chao is more embarrassed because of it.
In more than a month, Zhao Zhen had already refined all the medicinal materials that could be refined, and the rest of those that needed to be used immediately after refining on the spot were all kept, waiting for the final use. The other fourth-grade alchemists, after discussing no less than thousands of plans, finally summed up almost ten methods for refining the final steps of the Heaven Snatching Pill, and which one to use needed to be improvised. Everything is ready, just wait for the steps to start refining the high-grade elixir and finally fuse it into the Heaven Conquering Pill.
At the beginning of refining, there was basically no matter of Zhao Zhen for the time being, his strength was too low, even if it was these scattered pills of the Heaven Snatching Pill, it was not something that his current realm could refine, and he could only watch others do it. And the rest of the four-grade alchemists who were invited by the Immortal Alliance are not in vain, except for Deng Chao's previous questioning of Zhao Zhen's alchemy water products, which caused some embarrassment now, in terms of alchemy, all the four-grade alchemists have their own merits, and whoever they take out is also a strong party.
Although Zhao Zhen can be said to be the pinnacle of refining techniques, he didn't delve too much into alchemy in his previous life, and he was just the most ordinary alchemist in the Nine Heavens Realm. First, there is no good magic weapon pill furnace in hand, and secondly, there is no good opportunity to hide in Tibet, but when I was in the Nine Heavens Realm, I have seen a lot of alchemy strongmen and exchanged a lot of experience, but I lack practice. And now, Zhao Zhen has the opportunity to observe the alchemy process of these high-level alchemists so closely, and participate in the ranks of refining the Heaven Winning Pill, which is undoubtedly a great benefit.
With Zhao Zhen's knowledge and experience of the Nine Heavens Realm Xuan Immortal, many techniques Zhao Zhen knew what was going on at a glance. These invited alchemists are worthy of being famous, each of them has their own unique concepts, and the techniques they use are also different, which opened Zhao Zhen's eyes.
However, although there are many changes in the technique, it is inseparable from its origin, and after the alchemy techniques of all families fell into Zhao Zhen's eyes, Zhao Zhen quickly comprehended the mystery, and immediately silently kept these alchemy techniques in mind and integrated them.
Refining pills is not a matter of a short time, in addition to the most basic step of refining medicinal materials, it is also necessary to refine multiple high-grade pills, and finally fuse multiple pills into one and then inject a powerful demon beast's Yuan Spirit, in order to finally successfully refine a Heaven Winning Pill. Moreover, every step and technique must not be the slightest mistake, and the refining method is also ever-changing, and the difficulty can be imagined.
Liu Changsheng has been paying attention to the progress of refining, the refining in the early stage is not too complicated, with the level of the four alchemists of the four grades, plus the records in the early stage of the Danfang, the scattered separation pills have all been completed in more than a month. Except for a few more demanding pills that failed to be refined for the first time, the others were all completed at one time. Even these difficult pills were all refined after several refining. The materials prepared, of course, have taken these losses into account, and all the materials are prepared in sufficient and proper order for emergencies.
In the process of refining the elixir, everyone also noticed Zhao Zhen's methods in refining and purifying medicinal materials. The medicinal materials that had been refined and purified by Zhao Zhen were extremely comfortable to use, and the medicinal properties were treated just right, and they had reached the limit of what they could dispose of. In refining, they don't even need to care about whether the medicinal effect will be effectively stimulated as before, as long as they focus on the control of the refining process, which is simply the most satisfactory thing in their career of refining pills.
What made these alchemists feel most comfortable was that every time they wanted to add medicinal materials, they would find that the medicinal materials they wanted to add were in the place where they were most comfortable. Zhao Zhen had already made all the preparations for the treated medicinal materials according to the records on the Dan Fang as needed. In the eyes of the other four-grade alchemists, even if he is a little guy who fights his hands, he is also the little guy who makes them worry the most.
Of all the failures that had occurred in alchemy, none of them were caused by problems with the medicinal materials that Zhao Zhen had refined, and not a single one was due to Zhao Zhen's improper preparation. The only few times were because they controlled the heat improperly, or because the alchemy technique was wrong, or the pill itself was very difficult and the success rate was relatively low, and it had nothing to do with Zhao Zhen.
While helping a few people prepare these medicinal materials, Zhao Zhen also observed their refining techniques as an eight-nine-inse-ten. Maybe these alchemists thought that if they didn't explain, it would be impossible for others to learn anything from their refining process, and they were relieved and bold and never wary, but in the end, they let Zhao Zhen pick up a big bargain.
Each person's unique technique and refining process have been studied thoroughly by Zhao Zhen. Stealing teachers to learn the arts, has never been as upright as Zhao Zhen, in front of these four-grade alchemists, their refining techniques have been learned cleanly, and there are even better improvements. It's a pity that these are all in Zhao Zhen's heart, and no one will know.
The progress of refining the Heaven Snatching Pill was very slow, and while Zhao Zhen was participating in the refining of the Heaven Snatching Pill, the Mo family had already begun to investigate the forms near the Peerless Valley and monitor the movements of the Ecstasy Tower. Soon after, Mo Qin and the three elders of the Mo family went deep into the Peerless Valley to find the whereabouts of Mo Tiancheng.
