After Lin Xingliao left the steward's yard, he returned to his residence. This was a hut arranged by the sect. Although there was nothing in it, it was relatively clean. Although there was some dust, at least there was no unusual smell.
Lin Xingliao simply tidied up the house and then began to meditate and practice. He wanted to learn some magic techniques, so he took out the book "A Collection of Five Elements Magic Techniques from the Small Dao" from his storage bag.
He closed his eyes, abandoned all distracting thoughts, and focused on the breath in his body.
The book begins with:
Only by restraining yourself and feeling the direction of the five elements can you explore the source of power.
As a result, his breath gradually stabilized, and the power in his body slowly gathered. He felt the breath of the five elements in his body, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The five powers flowed through his body, forming a five-element cycle. .
Lin Xingliao silently recited the mantras in the "Collection of Five Elements Techniques of the Small Dao" in his heart, controlling the power of the five elements and slowly running them in his body.
Gradually, Lin Xingliao felt the power that belonged to him - the flame.
flame? How could it be flames? When I was exploring the spiritual roots at that old man's place that day, didn't the old man say that I had three water spiritual roots?
It seems that you have to believe that you are the best in everything.
Lin Xingliao is also open-minded. Since his attribute is fire, it would be better to learn some magic about fire.
Regarding the fire-attribute spells, Lin Xingliao looked over and over, and they were nothing more than various fireball spells with changing patterns.
The smaller fireball is called the small fireball technique, the smaller fireball is called the firefly technique, and the larger fireball is called the giant flame technique...
Isn't it the method of condensing a ball of spiritual energy, letting the spiritual energy burn, and finally shooting the spiritual energy out? There are so many fancy names.
Lin Xingliao was a little dissatisfied. He felt that this "Collection of Small Dao Five Elements Techniques" was really useless. It was just some fireball techniques with different tricks. How could it have any actual effect?
However, Lin Xingliao also knew that he could not be too demanding. After all, he was just a rookie who had just started practicing. This collection of spells might be a good choice for a newbie like him.
Thinking about it, Lin Xingliao felt sad. Since he got it, he was destined to do it. He would go to another workshop tomorrow. When he was stable, he could practice these juggling fireballs.
The key is that now he has nothing to practice with.
Speaking of things, Lin Xingliao still has two skills.
However, he has already thoroughly comprehended the "Nine Transformations of the Mysterious Heaven Technique". The technique has a nice name, but it is just a basic technique. It is nothing more than a book of basic techniques that he can master faster than those casual cultivators who have comprehended the spiritual power of heaven and earth on their own. It’s just a way of breathing out.
It is a technique without any special effects.
That skill can only be practiced to the perfection of the Nascent Realm. After the breakthrough, Lin Xingliao may have to find other skills to practice again.
——
On the morning of the next day, Lin Xingliao found the place where the sect's disciples were allocated.
He described his situation, but he did not tell anyone about the alien spirit root. Lin Xingliao just
The person in charge of the distribution of disciples in the sect was an old man with white hair. He looked at Lin Xingliao with a trace of doubt in his eyes, but he didn't say much.
Lin Xingliao didn't know whether his own request could be met.
The old man seemed to see Lin Xingliao's worry. He smiled and said, "Young man, where do you want to change?"
It's not the first day the old man has been working here, so what else could he do here? It's just that the relationship with the original workshop was bad, or I really didn't like that workshop. Overall, it was definitely a change of place.
So the old man asked directly.
For old monks in the Nascent Realm like him, the sect usually arranges this kind of civil service for them. Looking at the immortals one by one, they are actually useless people with no hope of breakthrough.
However, since they are all old people, they still have to show some superficial obedience.
Lin Xingliao cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "This disciple has three fire spirit roots. Senior, would you like to give me some advice?"
"Oh, okay, go to the alchemy room No. 7 of the alchemy workshop to report, I will send the message right away."
Lin Xingliao didn't expect that the change of workshop would be so simple, so he clasped his fists again and left. He also had some expectations in his heart, not knowing what the new workshop would be like.
Lin Xingliao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He didn't expect that it would be so easy to change the workshop. The sect must have made arrangements for it. He was in a happy mood and looked forward to the new environment in the future.
The scene changed and Lin Xingliao came to a brand new workshop.
This is a place full of vitality and vitality. The air is filled with a strong aroma of medicine, which is very different from the quiet elixir shop before.
He looked around and saw a group of busy fellow disciples, holding medicine hoes or guarding the alchemy furnace. Everyone was busy with their work in an orderly manner.
Lin Xingliao was instantly attracted to this environment, and he felt that his spiritual roots resonated here. He approached a senior brother who was refining alchemy and asked politely: "Senior brother, I am new here. Where is the alchemy room No. 7?"
When the disciple in the alchemy room heard this, he smiled and said, "Alchemy room No. 7? The innermost one."
Lin Xingliao could feel the disciple's smile. It seemed that Alchemy Plaza No. 7 was not ideal.
Entering the alchemy room No. 7, Lin Xingliao couldn't help but frown. I saw five or six people lying around in the room, all of them pale and smelly. The alchemy room should be filled with the aroma of medicine, but instead there is an unbearable stench.
Lin Xingliao covered his nose, walked around the drunken senior brothers, and walked forward cautiously. He found that these senior brothers were either extremely drunk or staggering around and sleeping soundly. It seems that life in this alchemy room is not as beautiful as he imagined.
"Yo! There's a new guy here!"
A senior fellow smelling of alcohol sat up unsteadily, burped, and stared at Lin Xingliao with drunken eyes: "Come on, junior fellow apprentice, there is wine here, come and have a few drinks."
Lin Xingliao was caught off guard by the sudden enthusiasm. He waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother, I...I don't know how to drink."
"Hahaha, look at you, are you new here? Come on, let me tell you a secret. This Alchemy Room No. 7 is a great place. There are fine wines and delicacies every day, and there are many beautiful female disciples here to play! This is your opportunity, your opportunity!" The senior brother said with a silly smile.
The steward of the alchemy room No. 7 came over. Surprisingly, he was an extremely handsome young man, but the disgusting smell of alcohol on his body made people feel sick.
He walked up to Lin Xingliao, frowned and said, "Are you new here?"
Lin Xingliao nodded, raised his hands and saluted: "Disciple Lin Xingliao, I have met the steward brother."
The young man in charge glanced at him and said calmly: "Remember, this is the alchemy room No. 7, not the elixir workshop. There is no need for your stinky rules here. Here, you are all brothers of me, Jiang Minghao! You are responsible Just eat, drink and play with me! Do you understand?"
"Ah hahahaha, I understand! I understand!"
It's not impossible to do as the Romans do, since you should be doing things in the sect during the day but instead having fun instead.
Anyway, I won’t delay my evening practice.
So Lin Xingliao picked up a gourd and blew it directly. This immediately stunned the group of junior brothers. Even Jiang Minghao clapped his hands and applauded.
"Does this mean I don't know how to drink? Then I'm not allowed to sit at the children's table?"
Lin Xingliao's heroic actions won everyone's praise, and he became a guest in the alchemy room No. 7. Jiang Minghao even poured wine for him personally and introduced various fine wines and delicacies.
Lin Xingliao discovered that although the life here was very different from the elixir shop, it was full of enthusiasm and heroism.
The scene switched to the conversation between Lin Xingliao and Jiang Minghao.
Jiang Minghao introduced the rules of Alchemy Room No. 7 to Lin Xingliao: "Here, we don't pay attention to the red tape, and we don't need you to be serious. What we need is that you can let go, drink wine with us, and talk and laugh together. But! But what should we do if we hand in the elixir every month?”
"Guarantee that every pill is of top quality! Strive for every pill to be of top quality!"
"Guarantee that every pill is of top quality! Strive for every pill to be of top quality!"
…
Listening to Jiang Minghao's words, Lin Xingliao gradually understood the meaning of this alchemy room.
This is not a simple alchemy place, but a place where people can relax and enjoy life.
Here, the brothers are no longer a group of serious alchemy machines, but individuals with their own emotions and lives.
Looks like you've come to the right place!
As the manager of an alchemy room, Jiang Minghao is naturally obliged to teach the new junior disciples: "Boy, come on, dry this gourd too. Once you've done it, I'll teach you how to make alchemy right away."
"really?"
"Bullshit? Hurry up and do it!"
Jiang Minghao snatched the wine gourd from Lin Xingliao's hand and poured it into his mouth, causing him to cough. Jiang Minghao wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Have you replied to the letter this time?"
Lin Xingliao couldn't help but laugh. This senior steward was really a sweetheart. He took the wine gourd and drank it down in one gulp, imitating Jiang Minghao. He felt a wave of heat rush into his heart, and he suddenly became a little tipsy.
Jiang Minghao laughed and said: "Okay! Now I will teach you how to make alchemy! Brothers! Wake up! Turn on the furnace!"
Following his order, everyone in the alchemy room No. 7 immediately meditated on the spot and breathed out three great celestial beings. Their originally red faces gradually returned to normal.
Lin Xingliao immediately followed suit and used vomiting to remove the alcohol odor from his body.
Lin Xingliao suddenly remembered that the first time he vomited was to remove most of the impurities in his body. Only now did he realize that vomiting could help sober up...
Looking at the senior brothers, they also took action one after another. Some lit the fire, some prepared medicinal herbs, and some stood aside to point out the country. It was very lively.
Jiang Minghao asked Lin Xingliao to follow him. He pointed at the coal and said: "These coals contain spiritual energy. You can control the size of the flame by sensing it with your heart. Since you are here, it must also be the fire spiritual root. It is particularly important to master the changes in the temperature of the fire. Fire can be divided into four major types, slow fire, warm fire, fierce fire, and big fire. Of course, each flame can be divided into seven types of fire, but that is only used for refining third-level low-grade treasure pills. You are not in a hurry now. Master it. Don’t rush for success. I will teach you this myself when the time comes.”
After walking a few steps, Jiang Minghao pointed to the pile of bottles and jars and said: "Most of those herbs are first- and second-level herbs. These herbs need rough processing before they can be used for alchemy. You can ask the fat man about this." Just call him Fat Senior Brother."
Lin Xingliao looked at Jiang Minghao. The man who was grinding herbs was just a fat man. Other than that, he had no other characteristics... There seemed to be nothing wrong with calling him Senior Brother Fat.
And the person who is in charge of the overall situation and directing is actually a woman. She is extremely petite and a little cute. Why haven't you seen her when you were drinking just now?
"The woman's name is Su Jiuyue. She is now the main alchemist. She is responsible for controlling the time of grinding various herbs and putting them into the furnace. She will also direct the charcoal-burning disciples to help her when a fierce fire is needed. Okay, you Now you probably know what's going on, I will teach you the first step of making alchemy today, burning charcoal."
After saying that, Jiang Minghao took out a piece of spiritual carbon and handed it to Lin Xingliao: "Come on, use your small fireball or big fireball to light it."
Lin Xingliao took the spiritual carbon and felt a heat flow through his body where he took it. He was secretly surprised at the special nature of this spiritual carbon. It was really easy to sense the existence of this coal.
He concentrated, and a blue flame suddenly ignited on the spiritual carbon.
Jiang Minghao nodded: "Okay! Now you maintain this flame and don't let it go out, but you have to do your best to control it to a minimum."
Lin Xingliao followed Jiang Minghao's instructions and adjusted the flame to the minimum. The flame was swaying in the breeze, but it never went out.
Jiang Minghao said again: "Okay! Three hours, you let it burn for three hours like this. It can't be extinguished, but it can't let the flame grow even half a cent. Come on, I'm going to drink. If you can do it with ease, just take a look. Senior brother and senior sister make elixirs."
Jiang Minghao said nothing and went off to drink with a few of his senior brothers who had free time, leaving Lin Xingliao alone to face the blue flames on the coal.
He sat quietly in the alchemy room, feeling that the air around him gradually became hotter as time went by.
The flame swayed in the breeze, like an elf trapped in coal, struggling to escape.
Time passed quietly in silence, and Lin Xingliao concentrated on maintaining the size of the flame, keeping it at a weak level.
A look of exhaustion gradually appeared on his face, but his eyes remained firm.
"Hey! Did I drink too much? Why is the flame on his hand blue?" said a senior brother who was drinking with Jiang Minghao.
Jiang Minghao glanced at him, and the senior brother immediately shut up.
But his eyes were still fixed on the blue flame in Lin Xingliao's hand, as if he was looking at a miracle he had never seen before.
Lin Xingliao was completely immersed in the practice of controlling flames at this moment. His consciousness was closely connected with the blue flame, feeling every subtle change in it. The flames swayed in the wind, like a dancer dancing alone, and Lin Xingliao was the one controlling the dancer.
"Look at you, you look like you have never seen the world. Aren't you just a supernatural spirit root? Our master doesn't have one?" Jiang Minghao chuckled and patted the senior brother on the shoulder, "Let him think about it slowly. There is no rush. This is for a while. When he can master some heat, I will take him to see our master."
"Oh, that's ok. We have a plan. Come on, let's go."
"No matter how talented he is in alchemy, Master will definitely appreciate the alien fire spirit root. When the time comes, he will have one more junior brother."
