"Hahaha!" Meng Guangen let out a loud burst of laughter, which was still a little desolate, "Cheng boy, your thoughts are really exactly the same as I was at the beginning!"

"Take Ju Yuan Dan as an example, not to mention the elixir required for refining, the frighteningly low success rate alone is enough to scare off all Qi refining stage cultivators. You can't have a skillful alchemy technique from the beginning, right? ”

"In short, if you are not from an alchemy family, you don't need to use the idea of alchemy to improve your cultivation. If you are fortunate enough to enter the foundation building period, you can study a little bit in this area. ”

"Then Senior Brother Meng, why do you want to grow so many elixirs?"

"Hehe, it's just useless work. Obsession, obsession!"

Perhaps because he was touched by his past feelings, Meng Guangen told Cheng Yunfan about his path of cultivating immortals back then: in his early twenties, he entered the Sanyang Sect as a scattered cultivator, and after countless efforts, he succeeded in opening his pulse, and passed two levels to the ninth layer of Qi training, but he neither showed extraordinary cultivation talent, nor did he make outstanding contributions to the sect, and the sect occasionally got a few grains of Zhuji Dan, so naturally it was not his turn, not to mention that the sect had not appeared in Zhuji Dan for more than 20 years.

Completely relying on the accumulation of years, he finally climbed to the peak of the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period more than ten years ago. Although he knew in his heart that it was impossible to break through to the foundation building period, he still had a trace of illusion, so he took advantage of his convenience as the manager of the Red Marble Stone Field to open up this small herb garden.

After registering the red marble, Meng Guangen flipped through the registration book and said, "Boy, it's not bad, now I can complete one hundred and fifty yuan a day, which is much better than those people." As he spoke, he also meant to those disciples who were at the peak of the third layer of qi refining two or three in the distance.

"Well, here's your pay. ”

"Thank you Senior Brother for your compliment, I am a little higher than them, so naturally I am faster. Cheng Yunfan took the spirit stone and said respectfully.

"It stands to reason that you are already in the middle stage of Qi cultivation, and you still come to do this kind of rough work regardless of your cultivation, you shouldn't be. And the last time you put so much effort into the sect, the head of the sect should always take care of one or two, and let which foundation building monk accept you as a disciple and cultivate it, why didn't there be any movement?" Meng Guangen said with a question.

"The sect is getting worse, I don't want to bother those elders, the important thing is to cultivate, I feel clean when I come here to work, although it is physical work, but I hone my mind, I like it." ”

"Yes, hone your mind, yes, you do have some ideas. When the old man heard this, his eyes lit up, he looked Cheng Yunfan up and down, and said after a long time, "By the way, if you don't understand anything in cultivation, you can come and ask me, and I can also give you a little guidance." Besides, you can come to see me for alchemy from tonight. ”

Cheng Yunfan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly.

"Really?"

"Yes. ”

Seeing that Meng Guangen didn't look like a joke, Cheng Yunfan bowed respectfully and bowed before retreating and leaving.

"Hey, it's really like me back then, full of infinite yearning for the future. I don't know if this kid can go farther than me. ”

From Cheng Yunfan, Meng Guangen saw himself in a trance. I haven't lost faith in my practice, and I still dream of entering the foundation building period and having a longer lifespan.

"If someone had helped me, I would have been a foundation monk by now. ”

Meng Guangen's old face showed a hint of bitterness, shook his head, and turned to enter his cave. Because of the old past, he didn't even bother to take care of the herb garden, and went directly to the cave to meditate.

Cheng Yunfan trotted all the way to his residence, feeling very happy.

Today is really rewarding, I can get Senior Brother Meng's promise, and I can ask him if I have any questions in the future. Although he was only a Qi refining stage cultivator, he was already his grandfather's generation, and his experience in cultivation was immeasurable. If he helps, it will be a great help to his own progress.

Since he stepped into the practice, although he has received guidance from many people sporadically, he has not been comprehensively and systematically sorted out and assigned by one person, whether it is Li Changfeng, Jin Yan, or his cheap master, they are all on a certain aspect, it is impossible to guide himself every day, Zhan Mengda's own cultivation is not high, and he knows more about some miscellaneous secrets. It doesn't help much in cultivation, and this Senior Brother Meng is a peak cultivator of the ninth layer of Qi refining. Any confusion and questions about your own practice can be well answered. As a Qi Refining Cultivator, and with almost no hope of being promoted, Meng Guangen's research and exploration of the Qi Refining Period should be said to be that there are few people in the entire Sanyang Sect who can compare to him.

"Now go back and have a good rest, meditate, cultivate for a while, sort out the problems in your cultivation, and then go to see Senior Brother Meng's alchemy in the evening and ask questions. ”

After meditating and meditating, sorting out the problems since the practice, seeing that the twilight was dull, Cheng Yunfan walked towards Meng Guangen's cave with anticipation. On the way, I was still thinking that this Senior Brother Meng Guangen and Senior Brother Zhan Mengda had similar experiences, and they both had good temperaments, so they could be regarded as the guides on their own cultivation path, and they should be respected for seniors like them.

As he spoke, he arrived at Meng Guangen's cave.

"Good boy, sure enough, on time. Meng Guangen happily sat at the entrance of the cave and said with a smile.

"The senior brother gave this great opportunity, and the senior brother cherished it very much. Cheng Yunfan said seriously.

"Don't talk about it. Come in with me. Meng Guangen entered the cave as he spoke, and said as he walked, "I don't know what kind of spiritual root my junior brother is, I have learned about alchemy before, and how many herbs do I know?"

After Cheng Yunfan reported that he had a fire spirit root, Meng Guangen nodded and said, "Whether it's alchemy or refining, if you don't have a fire spirit root, you will always suffer a loss." It's good to have a fire spirit root. ”

That night, in Meng Guangen's rather simple cave mansion, Cheng Yunfan learned from the basics of alchemy such as quenching grass, warm furnace, fire control, alchemy, condensation, and open furnace, and wasted some herbs in the middle, learning step by step.

Cheng Yunfan had already read "The First Solution of Alchemy" and was very familiar with these steps, but he lacked exercise and no one encouraged him, so he didn't dare to take this step. Now that there is such a leader, it is natural to put down my heart to learn.

"That's all for tonight. Meng Guangen saw that Yun Fan had basically understood, and roughly mastered each process and procedure, so he said comfortingly, "Tomorrow, you don't want to do the red marble cutting task, cultivate in the room by yourself, review what you learned tonight, and test you again tomorrow night, and in the future, you will do the task of cutting red marble every other day, so that it will help you practice and learn." ”

"Thank you for your advice, keep in mind. Cheng Yunfan said goodbye to Meng Guangen and went back to his outer courtyard.

Originally, I planned to finish the task in half a month and cultivate well, but now with Meng Guangen's guidance, it seems that it will take a month to complete the task, so it is okay, at least I can have a solid grasp of the alchemy technique, and I can be regarded as having a skill.

In the days that followed, he began to study alchemy, cut red marble and cultivate his spiritual life step by step.

After Meng Guangen's teaching, he tried to alchemy himself with many encouragements, or the simplest Qi Gathering Pill, which is an elixir that draws qi into the body, is not valuable, and it does not cost too much, but the procedure is the same.

The first time was of course miserable, and even Meng Guangen couldn't help frowning.

After refining three furnaces in a row, only one furnace succeeded, and it was still successful by playing the edge ball.

When he went back that night, Cheng Yunfan thought for a long time and tried to make alchemy in the room alone, and took out the Dan furnace he bought from the Fang Market before, and the fire used was the golden flame in the sea of knowledge.

Although this golden flame looks like a wisp, it doesn't look like he has mastered the situation so much, and he is too aggressive, and he actually dares to make alchemy himself without mastering the golden flame, and the result can be imagined.

When a furnace of black scum came out, he completely lost confidence.

"Hahaha!" When he opened the furnace and saw these black scum, an arrogant laugh rang out unscrupulously.

"What are you laughing at? Don't you know that all of a sudden, people are scary, they will scare people to death?" As soon as Cheng Yunfan heard this laughter, he knew that it was the golden flame hiding in the Great Sun Divine Flame.

"Stinky boy, did you say that about the eldest brother?" Jin Yan couldn't help but smile and said, "As soon as I woke up, I really couldn't help but see such a scene, you said how arrogant you should be, you actually dared to directly use the unrefined Great Sun Divine Flame to alchemy, it is good without a fryer." ”

Cheng Yunfan listened to Jin Yan's words, knowing that he was reckless, and he was also a little embarrassed, so he had to say: "I didn't know that this flame was so powerful. ”

"Please, little brother, this Great Sun Divine Flame is even more powerful than the essence of the Great Sun True Fire of the Highest Sun in the world, the Great Sun Golden Flame, it can be said that the originator of the Yang Fire in this heaven and earth, do you think it is the fire of the small leyline?" ”

"Little brother, you should keep in mind that this Great Sun Divine Flame has three layers, the alchemy fire can only be used for one, and the second fire is used to refine magic weapons, as for the third one, it is naturally used to destroy the enemy, and it is extremely powerful, even I dare not use it easily. Under his guidance, Cheng Yunfan mastered the use of the first heavy fire of the Great Sun Divine Flame in a moment, and under the supervision of the golden flame, he began to re-alchemize.

Quenching grass, warming furnace, alchemy, condensation, opening the furnace, step by step, Jin Yan interjected a sentence or two next to him from time to time. When the furnace was opened, Cheng Yunfan actually smelled a pungent fragrance, there were twenty golden pills in it, and three with purple spots.

"Yes, yes, it was all at once. Jin Yan said with relief, "It's worthy of being my little brother, although he is a little stupid, but he has good talent and good understanding." It was successfully refined in an instant, and a semi-best elixir was produced. ”

"Big brother, what is a semi-best elixir?" Cheng Yunfan was puzzled.
