Song Yuan was shocked, his surname was also Cheng? But for the first time to confirm the relationship between master and servant, it is not easy to ask about such a private matter.
He could only change the topic and said: "I don't know much about the specific things. I just received news from my master a few months ago that he wanted to confront the Famous Sword Academy. Later, several major families joined forces and mobilized Most of the family’s children went to the north.”
"Oh, so there aren't many disciples left at the Cheng family's main residence?"
"Yes, I heard that even the ancestors have gone to the north. The third elder received news a few days ago that the situation in the north is very serious, and they also went there one after another. Only the ninth elder is left in Fang City."
Cheng Ling pondered for a while and said, "I want you to send a message to Cheng Maogong, saying that there is a situation in Fangshi. The Ninth Elder has been seriously injured, and let him turn around as soon as possible!"
"Yes, young master! But do you want the third elder to return to Fangshi?"
"No, tell him the location of this valley and ask him to come here directly. There are many monks in the city, and I don't want to hurt innocent people!"
Song Yuan's heart trembled, and after a moment of silence he said: "Master, the three elders are very powerful, and Qingliufang City is the most important resource gathering place for the Cheng family. If they bring a large number of children here, I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand!"
Cheng Ling nodded appreciatively. Song Yuan still thinks about himself and has a good character. He said: "It doesn't matter. I know Cheng Maogong's cultivation level in my heart. Don't worry!"
Song Yuan said no more, took out a palm-sized puppet bird from the ring, wrote the message on paper, threw it into the sky, and the puppet bird flew away to the north.
"Master, this is the puppet bird of the Cheng family that delivers news. It only takes three days to deliver the news to the third elder. It will take at least six days for him to turn around."
Cheng Ling secretly thought, six days is not a long time, not a short time. The formation in the valley has been set up. As long as those Cheng family children enter here, they will naturally be trapped. In these few days, why not go check out the fifth-grade elixir prescriptions in the elixir shop to prepare for your transformation into a god!
He then said: "In that case, you take me to the alchemy shop. I want to see the fifth-grade elixir recipe."
Song Yuan nodded and walked towards the alchemy shop with Cheng Ling. Soon, they returned to Qingliu Pawn Shop. When the guys saw Song Yuan taking Cheng Ling, they thought they were being controlled by him, so they didn't pay attention. The two of them easily entered the backyard of the alchemy shop.
After arriving at the backyard, following Song Yuan's guidance, he found the alchemy room. Standing outside the door, he heard two old men arguing in the alchemy room.
"Old man Hu, the recipe for the Shantideva Pill clearly states that one of the ingredients is mainly Tianma grass. Why do you turn a blind eye!"
"Old man Ma, how can the natural medicine be used as the main medicine if it is so active? It can only be made into a pill by first blending it with other medicines and then refining them together."
"Impossible. If it is fused first, how do you control the activity in the alchemy furnace? It can only be gradually fused during refining!"
"Fart, you've tried it many times, show me if you have the ability to fuse!"
"Although it failed, the elixir recipe is very clear and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. The earth fire here must be not strong enough. My opinion is to increase the heat of the earth fire first and then refine it."
"I said you old man, can't you try it out according to my method first? You must stick to the failed method. Don't think that I don't know. Don't you just want to refine the elixir first? Can you defeat me? , I’m telling you, Old Man Ma, stop daydreaming!”
"Bah, don't you want to refine the elixir first? It's not a virtue to have the nerve to criticize me!"
The two old men were quarreling with saliva flying everywhere. Cheng Ling listened for a long time, probably because of the recipe for Shantide Dan. He didn't know what kind of medicine it was, so he looked at Song Yuan inquiringly.
Song Yuan explained softly: "The prescription of Shantidedan contains a fifth-grade elixir. It is very difficult to refine. The two worshipers have been studying for several years, but there is no result. They can only refine some defective products. Even so, Refining the broken pills will also be very effective!"
Cheng Ling's heart moved and she winked at him.
Song Yuan stepped forward, pulled the two old men apart, and said: "You two worshipers, please don't argue. The Ninth Elder invited another alchemy master today, why not ask him to take a look!"
The two old men were startled and turned their heads at the same time. They saw Cheng Ling standing there quietly, just a young man in his twenties. They said angrily: "Shopkeeper Song and the Ninth Elder are too crazy. How can such a young boy refine a fifth-grade elixir? It's a joke!"
Song Yuan's face sank. The two old men had always been more arrogant than the other, and they were dissatisfied with each other. Even he, the shopkeeper, was often offended. Now, in front of Cheng Ling, he said something rude again, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
"I'm just doing things according to the elder's instructions. If you two have any objections, please go directly to the Ninth Elder to respond!"
The two old men stagnated for a moment and then immediately withered. Cheng Maoyuan's temper was not gentle. He was even more aggressive than them. If he really wanted to hit them head-on, he would definitely not get any benefits!
Old Man Ma curled his lips and said calmly: "Since the Ninth Elder requested it, I will see how he refines the Shantide Pill!"
"That's right, the way of alchemy is not that simple, and the master is very rare. I don't believe that a boy in his twenties can refine a fifth-grade elixir!"
Song Yuan cursed secretly, you two old men are incapable of your own, but you still attack others. If the head of the family hadn't valued you, you would have been kicked out long ago. He didn't say anything. He just took the fifth-grade elixir recipe and handed it to Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling took it, scanned it with his consciousness, wrote down the recipe, and said calmly: "Whether I have the ability to refine it or not, that's my business. As for you, let's continue arguing!"
He didn't want to quarrel with the two old men, so he turned around and left the alchemy room.
After arriving at another alchemy room, he began to carefully consider the elixir recipe. This Shantideva Pill, according to the elixir prescription records, is indeed a fifth-grade elixir. Moreover, the effect of the elixir is very strong, and it can assist cultivation at least until the late stage of divine transformation.
The refining of this elixir is very difficult, mainly because Tianqian grass is a very active herb, and it is very difficult to integrate it into other herbs! However, Cheng Ling was somewhat confident. With the Meteor Fire upgraded to cyan flame and his strong mental power, the chances of refining it successfully were very high.
After becoming a god, more resources will be needed for cultivation. Although using the inner elixir of monsters to improve was a method, he did not dare to use it in large quantities without the environment of a lava cave. If the evil spirit is mixed and affects the sanity, it is not a joke.
Therefore, he was eager to find an elixir that could improve his cultivation during the transformation stage, and the recipe for Shantidedan came at just the right time. He has just become a fifth-level alchemy master. With his current level of alchemy cultivation, he is still reluctant to refine the Shantide Dan. If he has a fifth-level intermediate alchemy master, he will be more confident.
Unfortunately, there are too few fifth-grade elixir prescriptions. According to Song Yuan, that's all the Cheng family has. After trying for many years, they were unable to successfully refine it, and only some broken pills were produced, all of which were semi-finished products. This is also the main reason why the ancestor of the Cheng family was stuck in the early stage of divine transformation for a long time.
The refining of Shantideva requires more than a dozen kinds of herbs, and each batch of elixirs yields six pills, the most precious of which is the Tianma grass. Fortunately, during this trip to Luofeng Mountain, Yanhu gave him many gifts.
Cheng Ling was in the alchemy room, quietly deducing the method of refining the elixir. After two full days of deduction, after all the procedures were mastered, the refining process began.
His hardware equipment is much better than that of the two old men. Not to mention the meteor fire, even the alchemy furnace is of the highest quality. It was snatched from the market on Canglang Island back then! The quality of the alchemy furnace is divided into four levels: lower, medium, upper, and top quality according to the refining tool itself.
However, it is different from other treasures. For alchemy masters, the quality of the artifact is secondary. The most important thing is whether the alchemy furnace has been used to refine elixirs for a long time. Such an alchemy furnace will leave a medicinal aroma in the furnace, which will be of great help in refining and integrating herbal medicines.
Originally, he also had a top-quality alchemy furnace with him, but the alchemy furnace had almost no medicinal fragrance and almost no refined elixirs. In the end, he chose a second-class alchemy furnace.
However, the quality of the elixir furnace needs to be replaced as the level of the elixir increases. To refine fifth-grade elixirs, the flame power required is not very powerful, and a high-grade elixir furnace can still withstand it. If it is to refine sixth-grade elixirs, the flame power needs to be greatly increased, and then high-grade treasures will not be able to withstand it.
At this time, Cheng Ling was controlling the temperature of the Meteor Fire and constantly refining the herbs in the alchemy furnace. The method he chose was to first extract the essence of other medicinal liquids and then blend them into the Tianqian grass. Because in this way, the consumption of mental power will be greatly reduced, as long as it is divided into two channels.
After the medicinal liquid of more than a dozen medicinal herbs was refined, he took a deep breath and threw the Tianqian grass into the alchemy furnace. At this time, he distinguished the two streams of medicinal liquid. In the alchemy furnace, there was a huge ball of medicinal liquid on one side, and the other Tianqian grass began to melt, and soon turned into a small ball of medicinal liquid.
Gradually, the distance between the two liquids began to shrink. Cheng Ling used all his mental strength to bring the two liquids closer. As soon as the two groups of liquid medicine came into contact, the larger one began to fluctuate violently before the two groups of liquid medicine merged. When the fusion reached one-third, the entire group of liquid medicine collapsed completely.
The first attempt at alchemy failed!
Cheng Ling frowned and replayed the fusion process in his mind. As soon as the two medicinal liquids came into contact, the medicinal liquid of Tianqiancao caused inexplicable fluctuations in other medicines. It was obviously too active and could not be controlled.
How can we control the activity of Tianqian grass? It's better to try it in reverse, first refine the Tianqian grass, and then add other herbs one by one. However, as a result, the mental energy consumption is greatly increased, and it needs to be divided into more than a dozen shares.
As soon as he thought of it, Cheng Ling started the furnace again, first refining the medicinal liquid of Tianma grass, and then added other medicinal liquid essences one by one.
At first, the essence of the added medicinal solution was still stable, but when the sixth herb was integrated, Cheng Ling felt another fluctuation. He was secretly worried. Only the sixth herb started to fluctuate. There were five more herbs to follow, and they would definitely not be able to bear it.
Sure enough, when the tenth herb was added, the liquid mass completely collapsed.
The second attempt failed!
Cheng Ling felt a severe headache. In order to control the activity of Tianqian grass, he channeled all his mental power, which consumed a lot of energy. Ordinary fifth-level alchemy masters would never have such strong mental power as myself, so is there something wrong with this elixir recipe? How can we suppress the activity of this day grass?
He sat cross-legged and fell into deep meditation while recovering his mental strength!
