After issuing one instruction after another, Wei Wei rubbed his brows. Now the situation of the crown prince's succession to the throne is becoming more and more severe, the former longevity emperor did not abdicate for a long time, and then there were many brothers chasing and intercepting him.

Wei Wei also knew that the old emperor was not greedy for power, but unwilling. The old emperor had reformed three times, all of which ended in failure. The first time was interrupted by natural disasters for many years, and the second time was because the third time the old emperor formed the Yulin Army to balance the family, where Chengxiang encountered the rebellion of the 36 tribes in the northwest and triggered the southern border conflict at the same time, and once again had to stop the pace of reform. Now that Ningguo has been peaceful for a long time, the people are stable and the country is abundant, it is a good time for reform.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the family of Ning Guo is much larger than that of the other two. This is closely related to the way Ning Guo came from the Great Yan State to steal the country, and Ning Guo was able to calmly ascend the throne with the help of the strength of multiple families, which led to the tilt of Ning Guo towards the family part when formulating some national policies. This recognized the privileges of the family to a certain extent, which contributed to their arrogance. In this way, the families who were once hidden in the market stepped onto the political stage and exerted their unparalleled influence.

The Ningguo has developed for hundreds of years, and the family has grown in a variety of ways. And the old and new families are constantly fighting for power and profit, but also expanding their own voice - from the economy to politics, from public security to the military, resulting in many local government offices in vain, government decrees are incomprehensible. The family that once played an important role in the Ningguo Kingdom has gradually become a big trend. The current Ningguo looks rich and harmonious, but the class contradictions underneath are quite acute. Therefore, the old emperor decided to reform and strive not to leave this mess to future generations.

Wei Wei sighed, the old emperor's idea was nothing more than to carry his own infamy, and then let the descendants show grace to redeem the support of some new families and small families, so as to change the class structure of the Ning Kingdom - dismantling the big family into countless small families.

But this process is too long. There is a good saying: the night is long and there are many dreams, and the late ones will change. It is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs, and as an emperor, twenty or thirty children are even more chaotic. The crown prince has been on the throne for nearly 30 years and has not been succeeded by the emperor, although there is no suspicion between the emperor and the prince from time to time, but he can't stand the eagerness to take the throne from the dragon minister. What's more, the other princes still have a glimmer of hope, and they are all ready to move. And today's assassination shows that finally someone can't help it!

Wei Wei can imagine that at today's court meeting, a large number of officials will inevitably attack the crown prince, but how things develop still depends on the attitude of the old emperor.

......

The words were divided into two ends, and after Wei Lai and Wei Wei were separated, he returned home and continued to learn alchemy from Tang Dan. Seeing Wei Lai so active, Tang Dan was very happy, so he made an exception to demonstrate the entire alchemy process to Wei Lai.

And Wei Lai couldn't take his eyes off it, the operation of the alchemy's yuan power and the grasp of the heat turned out to be dancing with his fingertips. Watching Tang Dan's flexible and accurate selection, separation, purification, fusion, polymerization, and finally Cheng Dan is like watching the chef use a boning knife to solve the cow smoothly and delicately.

With a burst of Yuan Li's brilliance flickering, a furnace of elixir was baked. Tang Dan put away a small box under the Danding, got up and picked out the finished products in the Danding, roughly counted them, and put them into a small bottle, saying: "It's okay, the order rate is 100%." Although he has not refined this low-grade elixir for many years, he has not lost his skills. After speaking, he threw the bottle to Wei Lai and said: "There are twenty Ling Yuan Dan here, if you can't absorb Yuan Li on your own now, use this to replenish it! But this bottle of Ling Yuan Dan should be a little better than what is sold on the market, barely all of them are of the highest grade, there are about three or five of them." So don't overdo it when you use it, and make a decision after taking one and feeling it. ”

After speaking, regardless of Wei Lai's surprised appearance, he pushed Wei Lai to the front of Danding and began to explain to Wei Lai.

"Alchemy is like cooking, the order of each step is very important. As you can see, the normal sequence is the selection of medicinal materials, the separation of ingredients, the purification of ingredients, the fusion of ingredients, the polymerization of Dandi, and finally the Cheng Dan. ”

"Of course, this is talking about the normal order, some alchemy powers will separate, purify, and fuse the ingredients in one step, so as to save time, reduce loss, and improve the connection between ingredients, thereby improving the effectiveness of the elixir. ”

"Out of the order, what is indispensable for alchemy is flames. As I said before, the human Yuan Force cannot be transformed into fire. So the fire source is an external fire source outside the human body. As he spoke, he slowly opened the black jade locket that he had just put away, and a scorching breath came to his face, making Wei Lai couldn't help but take a step back.

"Hey, I forgot that your cultivation is a little low, and you may not be able to withstand this kind of flame. Watching Wei Lai retreat, Tang Dan patted his forehead and closed the small box.

Tang Dan put away the box and turned to Wei, "This flame was born of heaven and earth, and I caught it by accident on a lightning strike wood. A thunderbolt shattered a pine tree, and then it rained heavily, and the flame remained unquenched in the rain, as if there was an invisible cover over it. This is the legendary lightning strike fire, which is not afraid of wind and rain, and burns by relying on the elemental force, and the more elemental force is input to the flame, the higher the temperature can be raised. ”

"And this box is the spirit box used to hold this kind of heaven and earth flame, which has a special space to provide yuan power for the flame to burn. Then Tang Dan took out a slightly smaller box and threw it to Wei and said, "This is a flame I got in my early years, although the temperature is not high, but it is enough for you." You haven't found the spiritual fire by yourself now, so make do with it first. ”

"Then that's all for today's lecture, when can you use this flame to refine the finished Ling Yuan Dan, when will we proceed to the next stage of learning. ”

Tang Dan, who was about to walk out of the door, suddenly remembered something, turned his head to Wei and said, "By the way, the head of the family has agreed to let you withdraw the materials in the medicinal herb warehouse at will." So don't use it with any scruples, all alchemists have come from countless failures, come on, the Tang family's Dan Dao inheritance, it's up to you!"

Wei Lai was still overjoyed when he heard the first half of the sentence, how could he rely on me for the Dan Dao inheritance when he heard the second half of the sentence?

Wei Lai rubbed the black jade box in his hand and slowly clenched his hands.
