Chapter 204 The Genius Alchemist (1)
"But he didn't ask me to do anything? And he did give me a soul-summoning stone for nothing. Ghost, are you thinking too much?" Zilong echoed and defended the Ghost.
"I didn't say he was a bad person, but this person is very cunning and far from as simple as it seems. You should not be close to such a person. You should be careful of him in the future."
Listening to the ghost's words, Zilong nodded on the surface, but still couldn't believe it in his heart.
Ye Tianxing, who was so generous and impressed by him just now, was so scheming that he was described by the ghost, which made him unacceptable for a moment.
Shaking his head, Zilong stopped thinking about it. Anyway, he got the Soul Summoning Stone, and he earned it.
Zilong strode up and stepped out of the gate of Hongye Pavilion.
Zilong walked out of the Red Leaf Pavilion and looked at the dim sky. Zilong accelerated his pace and rushed towards the direction where the underground Danfang was.
"The next one is the pill. The day has passed. I hope that the big man with the "genius alchemy brother" he mentioned has prepared the heart protection pill and the ice and fire pill for me." Zilong thought in his heart.
Zilong did not directly enter the entrance of the underground Danfang, but turned into a cultivator's equipment store in the middle. He bought a cheap outfit for himself and Ada.
I saw that half a quarter of an hour later, a man in black dressed in a black robe and covered with faces walked out of the equipment store and poured into the crowd on the street... It was Zilong.
Zilong walked along the familiar road towards the entrance of the underground danfang. After handing over two silver coins, he successfully entered the underground danfang.
Zilong followed the fork in his memory and after five minutes of groping, he finally came to the shop where he customized the elixir yesterday.
Looking at the four big words "customized pills" on the signboard, Zilong walked into the shop with devout devotion.
"But don't let me wait any longer, I can't afford to consume it."
After Zilong stepped into the shop, he saw the guy named A Liang at first glance.
Because the black robe and mask that Zilong wore today were different from yesterday, Aliang did not recognize Zilong immediately.
I saw Aliang come to Zilong with a smile and ask Zilong for a grin:
"My fellow Taoist, is there anything I can help you? Do you want to buy elixirs or customize elixirs?"
"I'll get the pill."
Listening to the familiar voice under the mask, A Liang was stunned at first, then looked like he was suddenly aware.
"Are you the fellow Taoist who came to customize the Ice and Fire Pill and the Heart Protection Pill yesterday?"
Zilong nodded, then asked:
"How about it, have the pills been refined?"
"Why are you telling you, fellow Taoist, you should come with me first."
Looking at A Liang's unspeakable look, Zilong's brows shrank into a ball under the mask, and he thought worriedly:
"It won't really be done yet..."
Zilong suppressed the worries in his heart, and under the leadership of A Liang, he came to the cave where the bearded man was.
Just as Zilong stepped into the cave with a grumbling belly, and was about to complain to the big man in the cave, he was shocked by the scene in the cave.
At this time, the temperature of the entire cave was much higher than that outside, and the entire cave was illuminated by the fire in the center.
I saw that in the middle of the cave, a young man who looked younger than Zilong was controlling the fire with one hand and holding the furnace with one hand. From time to time, his freed right hand picked up several medicinal materials from the table beside him at a dazzling speed and added them to the small alchemy cauldron on his left hand.
The boy's face was calm. He skillfully controlled the fire of his hand and the Qi Ding, and controlled it above his left hand.
The flames in the boy's left hand surging, baking the alchemy tripod that was slowly spinning in the air.
While the boy put forward the essence of the medicinal materials one by one, he accurately controlled the proportions between various medicinal materials. The fire in his left hand kept changing. He grasped the flames needed when adding each medicinal material to the alchemy cauldron to the right...
This young man is refining pills!
Looking at the boy's calmness and leisure, looking at the boy's skillful alchemy techniques, under the mask, Zilong's face showed an incredible expression.
Although Zilong can't refine elixirs, when he was in the Ghost Sect, Zilong had also seen Huang Baimei and his senior brother Li Tao refine elixirs at the sect of Master Baili. Zilong still had a little knowledge of the ways of alchemy.
Zilong knew that there were two conditions for becoming an alchemist. One was the fire-protective physique. For cultivators with fire-protective physique, their source genus mostly contained fire elements. They were born with affinity for fire elements, and could learn to control flames faster than other cultivators and better learn to control flames.
If you want to successfully refine the pill, from beginning to end, any link cannot be separated from the control of flames. The alchemist’s requirements for flame control are far higher than that of the doctor.
The second condition for becoming an alchemist is the requirement for the temperament of the cultivator. Being an alchemist requires great patience, carefulness and concentration. You must calmly respond to various emergencies that may occur in the alchemist process. During the alchemist process, any carelessness may lead to the wasted of a waste of materials for refining elixirs.
Since ancient times, almost all alchemy masters who can make achievements in alchemy have been calm and calm.
In general, the first condition determines the lower limit of an alchemist's future achievements, while the second condition determines the upper limit of an alchemist's future achievements.
Take Zilong as an example. Zilong's ability to control fire has become one of the best in the world. Even some fire-type cultivators who mainly attack fire-type martial arts have a far lower ability to control fire elements than Zilong's level.
Normally, Zilong is an excellent seedling to become an alchemist. As long as someone leads him step by step, Zilong's achievements in alchemy will never be low. As for how far he can go on the road of alchemy in the future, it depends on how much effort he has spent in the alchemy field, and whether he has enough patience, carefulness, and concentration in the study of alchemy.
However, one mind cannot be used twice. Zilong has consumed a lot of energy and attention when he follows Old Man Gongsun to learn medical skills and study Zhao's thunder fire moxibustion. In order to avoid Zilong being greedy for too much and not being able to make any achievements in the end, Old Man Gongsun directly and explicitly prohibited Zilong from learning alchemy from Master Baili.
Although Zilong has not learned to refine elixirs so far, his medical skills have been something that many doctors have exhausted their entire lives and cannot reach.
Perhaps, Zilong will never have the opportunity to enter the alchemy field in his life, just like the moon is full and waning, the sky is cloudy and clear, and there is no perfect thing in the world, but who can deny that this kind of flawed beauty has added countless excitement to the vast world.
The picture returned to my eyes, and when I saw the skillful and superb techniques of the alchemy boy, Zilong sighed silently in his heart:
"From the technique alone, this young man who is refining alchemy is no less than Huang Baimei and Senior Brother Li Tao. Moreover, this young man seems to be younger than me, and his ability to control flames is not inferior to me at all... This is the genius alchemy younger brother mentioned by the big man in the beard. It's quite special."
Thinking of this, Zilong's eyes moved away from the boy's hand, and he began to look at the boy who was refining the alchemy.
The boy looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, looking as if he was weak and gentle. His eyes narrowed into a thread, as if nothing was normal. What made Zilong amazed was that the boy was yawning in the gap in the alchemy, looking listless and not awake.
However, the bearded man next to the boy looked full of energy. He was holding a fan and was fanning the boy with a hip-hop look on his face. He also served him tea and water from time to time, rubbed his shoulders and back, serving the boy like a young master.
Looking at this intriguing combination, Zilong thought silently in his heart:
"Didn't Master Baili say that you can't be distracted when refining alchemy? This young man is really not an ordinary person. Of course, his bearded brother is also a top-notch. These two brothers are quite similar, a pair of weird..."
He noticed that the man in black robe who was coming in with A Liang in black, and came to the door of the cave with his hands and feet, and whispered to the two of them:
"My brother is refining elixirs, and this batch of goods is to be driven out in a hurry. If you want to customize the elixir, you may have to wait until tomorrow."
"Boss, this fellow Taoist is the one from yesterday." A Liang hurriedly explained.
Listening to A Liang's explanation, the bearded man looked at Zilong in a black robe again with a surprised look.
Looking at the skeptical gaze of the bearded man, Zilong didn't talk nonsense and took out the certificate of customized pills from the storage ring and held the iron plate of the bearded man's face.
Looking at the iron plate certificate held by the man in black robe, the big man grinned and scratched his head, laughing:
"Sorry, I can't even recognize it after changing into black robe and mask."
Zilong spoke and asked the bearded man in a tone of questioning:
"Why, you just started to refine pills?"
The man with a beard waved his hand and said:
"My brother started to refine pills half an hour ago."
Listening to the big man's answer, Zilong suddenly fell silent.
Unlike low-level elixirs such as insect poison pills and miasma removal pills, ice and fire pills and heart protection pills are both lower-level elixirs at the Xuan level. However, elixirs above the Xuan level are no longer as simple as those at the low-level elixirs, and there is still a risk of failure and scrapping during the refining process.
In Zilong's cognition, there are ten ice and fire pills and ten heart-protecting pills. Even a senior alchemist at the Xuan level, he can't refine it without a failure in one time...
Thinking of this, Zilong sighed, then waved his hand and turned around:
"Then I'll get it tomorrow."
Looking at Zilong who turned around and walked back, the big man hurriedly stopped him:
Chapter completed!
