In Zhang Ning's independent courtyard, the chat continued. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Great Elder, can you pass on the Luo family's alchemist to me?"

The Great Elder looked at Zhang Ning and said, "What, you still want to learn alchemy, do you know why there are so few alchemists?"

Zhang Ning shook his head.

"Hmm~, after the same medicinal herb is refined into an elixir, the price has increased more than tenfold. Alchemist is arguably the most lucrative profession in the world. However, if you want to successfully train an alchemist, it is enough to bankrupt any first-class power. ”

"How so?" asked Zhang Ning.

"I don't know exactly what to do, but there are a few things that are certain. First of all, there must always be a pill for alchemy, right? Take the body refining pill with the largest amount of consumption, a pill recipe is worth hundreds of billions. And they don't necessarily sell it to you. Then, after having the Dan Fang, there must always be a lot of practice in the early stage, right? Even if the materials for the Body Refining Pill are not expensive, 500,000 yuan for a single material, it will be an astronomical amount in a few years or even decades. Of course, this is only what I know, in fact, there are many, many places that need to be spent to cultivate an alchemist. ”

The Great Elder hoped that Zhang Ning would give up this unrealistic idea, if the alchemist really wanted to achieve it so easily, it would not be so rare.

Zhang Ning pondered for a moment and said, "Great Elder, no matter what, I still want to give it a try. ”

Zhang Ning's eyes were unusually firm, giving people a feeling of not giving up until the goal was achieved.

After a moment, the Great Elder sighed and said, "Okay. You come with me, and the inheritance of the alchemist is in the arsenal. ”

Zhang Ning followed the Great Elder to the Luo family's arsenal, and in a secret compartment, the Great Elder took out a yellowed secret book, which was the inheritance of the Luo family's alchemist hundreds of years ago.

Finally got the inheritance of the alchemist, and Zhang Ning was like a treasure. This is the alchemist inheritance hundreds of years ago, so it shouldn't be worse than the formation inheritance left by Liu Bowen casually, right?

The content of this inheritance is not very much, and it only took Zhang Ning an hour to read it and memorize it.

"Well, if you want to become an alchemist, it's really not an easy thing. ”

To become an alchemist, one must first have the talent to become an alchemist. A person who does not have talent cannot become an alchemist in his lifetime.

To see whether a person can become an alchemist, first of all, we must see whether he can achieve the basic skill of an alchemist--dialectic.

The alchemist is not talking about dialectical medicine, but just knowing the medicinal materials and distinguishing them clearly. The alchemist's so-called dialectical medicine has a more popular name, that is, 'tasting herbs'.

According to this alchemist's inheritance, if you don't taste it yourself, how can you know the medicinal properties of the elixir? If you don't know the medicinal properties, how can you know the order in which the medicinal materials are put and the heat under control?

It is a medicine with three points of poison, and there are thousands of medicinal materials used by alchemists, if they are tasted one by one, who can stand it?

Medicine Garden, I heard that Zhang Ning wanted to follow the example of the ancient Shennong to taste the herbs, and the third elder Luo Hong admired it.

"Elder Zhang, do you really want to emulate the ancient Shennong and taste the herbs? This is not a joke. ”

"The three elders laughed, how dare I emulate the ancient sages, I just want to become an alchemist, and debating medicine is only one of the basic skills of an alchemist. ”

Luo Hong was stunned by Zhang Ning's words, is there any difference between the two?

I saw that Zhang Ning had already picked up a medicinal herb at this time and put it directly in his mouth.

"Hmm, this poisonous dragon grass is really the same as what is said in the "Hundred Herbs Sutra", it is extremely spicy. ”

Zhang Ning tasted one medicinal herb after another while comparing it with the records in the "Hundred Herbs Sutra".

There are thousands of medicinal herbs in the world, poisonous, non-toxic, spicy, and smelly, and you must taste them all as an alchemist. This is unimaginable in the eyes of ordinary people, but being an alchemist is the most basic requirement.

"It is recorded in the inheritance that the alchemist has a special cultivation method that can make himself invincible, but unfortunately there is no record of this cultivation method in the Luo family's inheritance. Fortunately, I have learned the "Hundred Herbs Sutra", which can be neutralized with different medicines, otherwise, I will really taste the herbs indiscriminately, and my body will collapse before I become an alchemist. ”

It takes a long time and repeated practice to practice the medicine debate, and if you take any pill, you can tell its composition and which medicinal materials are used to refine it after tasting it once.

Because of the "Hundred Herbs Sutra", Zhang Ning has advantages that others do not have. Ordinary alchemist apprentices would never dare to try too many times a day to practice debating medicine, and moreover, in order to deepen their memory, a medicinal herb may need to be tried several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds or thousands of times.

Zhang Ning doesn't need to be like this, Zhang Ning has the ability to never forget, so that any blind medicinal herb does not need to try a second time. Being familiar with the "Hundred Herbs Sutra" allows Zhang Ning to design a sequential combination of dialectical medicines, even if he identifies hundreds or thousands of medicinal materials in a day, he will not be afraid of physical problems.

Zhang Ning didn't know how other alchemists debated medicines, if he had to try every medicinal material himself, Zhang Ning couldn't figure out how that alchemist could persist without integrating the "Hundred Herbs Sutra".

In less than half a month, Zhang Ning tried all the thousands of medicinal materials owned by the Luo family.

"Now is the time to test the results of these ten days. ”

Zhang Ning took out a body refining pill and put it in his mouth, "100-year-old ginseng, morning dew grass, blue wolfberry, 100-year-old maple bucket, three-life fruit core......"

The more than twenty kinds of medicinal materials needed to refine the Body Refining Pill were identified by Zhang Ning one by one, and even the approximate proportions were clear.

Even if an alchemist has the talent of an alchemist, if he wants to do this, it will take more than ten or twenty years of hard work to do it.

There are more than twenty kinds of medicinal materials, and even if the ingredients are distinguished, there may be countless combinations of their refining methods. Zhang Ning used the Luo family's alchemist inheritance and the knowledge in the "Hundred Herbs Sutra" to obtain the most likely dozen refining methods.

"Well, the morning dew grass is used as an introduction, and the three-life fruit core should be the king's medicine, and then accompanied by a hundred-year-old maple bucket ......"

Zhang Ning believed that as long as he tried these dozen refining methods one by one, he would soon be able to refine the Body Refining Pill.

Of course, if it is a high-grade elixir, even if the medicinal materials are distinguished, if there is no secret technique, it may not be successful. It's just that the body refining pill is not a streamless pill, and it is not even a real pill, how can it be possible to use a secret technique?

Although it has not been possible to cultivate another alchemist for hundreds of years, the Luo family's alchemy room has always been preserved, and even cleaned regularly.

In the alchemy room, Zhang Ning began to familiarize himself with the operation of the alchemy furnace. To his surprise, this ancient alchemy furnace was so easy to use. Not only can the temperature in the furnace be controlled at will, but even when to add medicine, what medicine to add, and how much to add can be controlled at will.

"This Dan furnace turned out to be a real magic weapon!"

Zhang Ning even suspected that the alchemist of the Luo family hundreds of years ago might be a real alchemist, rather than a pseudo-alchemist who only mastered a little bit of fur now.

Although Zhang Ning had never seen the inheritance of other alchemists, this inheritance of the Luo family was not inferior to the formation inheritance left by Liu Bowen in the fake tomb, and even surpassed.

"The second thing an alchemist has to learn is to control the furnace, and the most important thing is to exercise his mental power, so that he can see the changes in the medicinal materials in the alchemy furnace at any time. It's a pity that this inheritance of the Luo family has no primordial cultivation method on it, only a spiritual power training method. ”

The inheritance mentions that the truly skilled alchemists have cultivated the Yuan Shen and can see any changes in the Dan furnace at any time, and if they only exercise their spiritual power, they can only see the changes in the Dan furnace through the magic alchemy furnace, not only will there be a feeling of seeing flowers in the fog when they see it, but also the spiritual power will be consumed very quickly, and it is likely that opening the furnace once is enough to exhaust the spiritual power.

However, Zhang Ning was already satisfied, and other alchemists might not even have a way to exercise their mental power like this.

"Huh. ”

When Zhang Ning cultivated according to the spiritual power training method, he found that his spiritual power was unexpectedly pure, almost reaching the level of third-level spiritual power.

"Could it be the cause of the mutation?"

According to the introduction in the lineage, it generally takes a few years for ordinary people to cultivate to the first level of spiritual power, and the time it takes to cultivate to the second level is ten times that of the first level; as for the third level of spiritual power, even if it is a genius of the Heavenly Depth, it is possible to reach it after a lifetime of cultivation.

"The most difficult step to become an alchemist was achieved unconsciously, which means that I can officially start alchemy?

Add water, burn the fire, and add all kinds of medicinal materials; for the first time in alchemy, Zhang Ning didn't dare to refine too much, so he only put in a medicinal herb for refining the body pill.

While operating, Zhang Ning helped the handle of the alchemy furnace, and through the handle, his spiritual power could illuminate the situation inside the alchemy furnace.

Zhang Ning found that what he saw with his mental power was completely different from what he saw with his eyes, and observing the situation in the furnace with his mental power would give people a hazy feeling of seeing flowers in the fog and being hazy.

An hour later, Zhang Ning closed the alchemy furnace and opened it to see that the medicinal materials inside had become a pile of paste-like liquid.

"Well, the consumption of mental power once to open the furnace is less than one percent, which means that my mental power is enough to support a hundred consecutive furnace openings. ”

After a day and a night, Zhang Ning tried more than a dozen refining methods, and each time without exception, what he got was a pile of paste-like liquid.

"It's that what I think is too simple, but the refining method of the Body Refining Pill can't be wrong among these dozen or so. So what's the problem?"

Zhang Ning took out the alchemist inheritance again and looked at it word by word.

"And so it was. Although this inheritance is not written in cloud seals, each sentence on it can have more than a dozen or even dozens of variations, and if you want to truly understand it, you must conduct an in-depth analysis of it and master each change. ”

The importance of alchemy techniques was mentioned in the alchemist inheritance, but it did not attract Zhang Ning's attention before.

The first time, it only took Zhang Ning an hour to memorize all the alchemist inheritance, but this time in order to analyze this part of the alchemy technique, Zhang Ning spent a day and a night.

"Well, sure enough, anything about cultivators can't be underestimated. ”

In addition to the alchemy technique, in other chapters, Zhang Ning also discovered new content.

After that, Zhang Ning spent more than ten days and finally analyzed all the alchemist inheritances in depth.

Zhang Ning was still not very relieved, and spent a day reading the Taoist Sutra to trigger the mutation, and in the state of mutation, Zhang Ning slowly eliminated some incomprehensible and flawed places, and finally completely integrated this inheritance.
