Chapter 21 The first alchemy
Ge Lao was preparing to test Lu Chen's soul power and had been observing it for a long time. During this time, he always felt that Lu Chen's soul power was very special, a very weird feeling. There were not many situations that could make him feel like this.
Looking at the test stone that appeared in front of him, Lu Chen said nothing. This was the same as testing his cultivation talent, but this time it was not his hands that were placed on the test stone, but the power of his soul.
"Concentrate, control your thoughts, and cover up the entire detection stone."
It sounds simple for Mr. Ge, but it is not that easy to cover up the detection stone. For ordinary monks, let alone covering up the detection stone, even controlling the power of the soul to leave the sea of souls is extremely difficult.
boom!
There seemed to be a sonic boom suddenly, and a dark wind blew up. The entire detection stone trembled, and then cracked into pieces.
"This..." Lu Chen was at a loss. Looking at the cracked detection stone, even Mr. Ge was in a daze.
"How is this possible?" Mr. Ge whispered, as if he had encountered something extremely unbelievable.
"Teacher, what's going on?"
"Nothing!" Mr. Ge's voice was trembling slightly.
He took a deep breath before speaking again, "I don't know how many years ago, a genius appeared on this continent. He didn't have any ability to cultivate spiritual power, but when he tested the soul power, a trace of light appeared on the detection stone. crack!"
"Did the detection stone crack?" Lu Chen seemed to remember something then, "What happened next?"
"Later?" Mr. Ge's illusive face was full of longing, "Later, the senior achieved Taoism with elixirs and achieved the throne of Godless One!"
"Emperor?" Lu Chen exclaimed!
emperor!
It is an extremely sensitive word. On this continent, anything related to the emperor is an amazing thing. The emperor is the most powerful and respected existence in the world.
"That's right, use the elixir to prove the Tao and achieve the throne of emperor!"
Lu Chen was speechless, Emperor! They haven't appeared on this continent for many years. Maybe they have disappeared or retired, or maybe Lu Chen is ignorant.
"Teacher, do I have the potential to become an emperor?" Thinking of this, Lu Chen looked excited. If nothing else, at least he had this potential.
"Little guy, there hasn't been an emperor in the mainland for how many years, and you can make the detection stone crack? Remember, there are too many geniuses, and there are many monsters among them. How many of them may have the last laugh?"
Elder Ge's tone was serious. He was not only telling Lu Chen, but also giving him a warning. In just a few words, he taught him a crucial lesson.
"Disciple understands!" Lu Chen looked horrified and felt cold sweat break out on his back.
"Haha, I have always wanted to accept you as my disciple, but you actually call yourself a disciple. It doesn't matter, the Soul Art has been passed on to you, and the title of master and disciple will naturally be determined. However, you must remember that when you meet another person who practices Soul Art in the future, , you must be extremely careful." Mr. Ge spoke with a solemn look on his face.
Lu Chen nodded in agreement without thinking, nor did he consider why another soul practitioner appeared.
"Since you have such a powerful soul power, you don't have to worry too much about the elixirs you need in the future. It's just that the materials are not easy to find. As for the elixirs, hehe!"
"Okay, I will teach you the art of alchemy first!"
When refining elixirs, the power of the soul is the most important thing, followed by fire control and pregnancy elixirs. However, both fire control and pregnancy elixirs require strong soul power as the foundation.
Seeing various materials appearing in Mr. Ge's illusory hands, Lu Chen felt that the blood in his body began to boil.
Unexpectedly, he would have the opportunity to come into contact with the alchemy that everyone in the mainland pursues.
After finishing it once, Mr. Ge looked at Lu Chen, "How is it? How much can you accept?"
"Well, I want to give it a try, disciple!" Lu Chen nodded and said while rubbing his hands.
"Try?"
"Well, it's not possible?" Lu Chen was puzzled.
"Okay, okay!" Mr. Ge chuckled, but that smile seemed strange to Lu Chen.
Looking at the materials left by Mr. Ge, Lu Chen took action directly. He felt something was wrong from the beginning, and always felt like something was missing.
As for what was wrong, I couldn’t remember it for a while.
"Fire, yes, fire, look at how impatient I am, how can I make elixirs without fire!"
"Don't look at me, this is soul fire, and you can't use it!"
"Soul fire? Is it the cold evil ice soul that the teacher said?" Lu Chen was confused.
"Soul fire is a kind of fire condensed from the refining soul. If you practice the soul art, the refining soul will naturally know in the future that soul fire is so powerful that it is the existence that many ascetics dream of."
"Right now, you can only try to make alchemy with the help of ordinary fire. If you have the chance, it's best to find a decent cauldron, which will greatly help the success rate of your alchemy."
Lu Chen nodded. He had no choice but to use ordinary fire. Fortunately, what Mr. Ge refined was the Lingtian Pill that would help him break through to the warrior level. Although it was a treasure in Gucheng, in Mr. Ge's eyes it was just lost. He wouldn't pick up anything on the ground. Right now, he just wanted to train Lu Chen.
Looking at Lu Chen who found an ordinary cauldron and started refining elixirs, Mr. Ge sighed and shook his head. After all, he couldn't bear it anymore and waved his hand to take out a cauldron from the ring.
"It's not that you are stingy as a teacher, you don't have that strength, so..."
"Teacher, disciple understands!"
Lu Chen naturally understands this truth. Without strength, no matter how good the furnace is, it will be an advantage to others.
Lu Chen, who was making fire and warming the cauldron for the first time, looked very skilled in his techniques. He didn't look like a kid who was new to alchemy at all. Mr. Ge was amazed when he saw it.
After the materials are put into the cauldron, the residue is removed and only the final condensed elixir remains. This has reached the most critical point.
Lu Chen naturally knew it, with a solemn expression on his face, and his body and mind were all concentrated in the cauldron in front of him.
The elixir has been formed, and it is only one step away from the elixir being released. However, this step has made many alchemists shake their heads in helplessness.
Snapped!
The crisp sound was very sudden, and the pills that had been formed in the pill furnace instantly turned into fly ash.
"Hehe, one of the materials is gone. If you are refining an elixir with elixir patterns, I'm afraid you will have to peel off your skin. The power of the elixir explosion is not small." Mr. Ge joked, stroking his beard and chuckling.
Naturally, elixir patterns can only appear on ninth-grade elixirs and above. Of course, this is not absolute. Some eighth-grade elixirs can also appear!
There are nine levels of elixirs, and among the nine levels, the quality is determined by the number of elixir patterns. When a top-quality elixir is completed, auspicious colors will fall from the sky, and there will be an elixir disaster along with it.
Of course, the Nine Supreme Beings have the Emperor above them. Unfortunately, the entire continent has not had an Emperor-grade elixir for many years. Emperor-grade pills only exist in legends.
"Teacher, are you so happy?" Lu Chen was speechless. He failed to make alchemy. As a teacher, Mr. Ge actually had a smile on his face.
"Alchemy does not happen overnight. It requires a long period of accumulation of experience. This failure is not necessarily a bad thing for you!" Mr. Ge still had a smile on his face. He recalled that his first time making alchemy was even more embarrassing than Lu Chen at the moment. Controlling fire burned down two alchemy rooms.
Lu Chen seemed to have some understanding, but he didn't quite understand. He could only nod his head in confusion.
"try again!"
Lu Chen nodded, took the materials handed over by Mr. Ge again, and started the alchemy furnace again.
Half an hour was too short for Lu Chen who was refining the elixir.
"It's done!" The Pavilion Boss was overjoyed. There were not many alchemists he had ever seen who could refine the Spirit Heaven Pill in two attempts, especially since Lu Chen had only watched him refine it once.
Looking at the elixir in his hand, Lu Chen looked happy. With it, his chances of breaking through to the warrior realm would undoubtedly be much greater.
"Lu Chen, come out here!" Just as he put away the pills, a roar suddenly came from halfway up the mountain.
"Cousin Lu? Didn't she go to Lu's West Mansion to bring in reinforcements?" Lu Chen frowned, with a solemn look on his face.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Lu Zining also frowned slightly, "Lu Chen, why are you hiding here? I heard they said you haven't been down the mountain for almost half a month!"
"Well, cousin, didn't you go to Lu's West Mansion? Why are you back so soon?"
"Quickly? Also, don't mention anything about the Lu Family's West Mansion to me. I will definitely ask for an explanation when I succeed in my cultivation!"
Lu Chen frowned, and after asking Lu Zining again and again, he told the whole story. It turned out that Lu Zining went to Lu's West Mansion to ask for help, but the son of the manor took notice of him, and insisted that Lu Zining agree to marry her before helping. For the sake of the Lu family in the isolated city, Lu Zining had no choice but to agree. , but I didn’t expect that boy to take it one step further and wanted to have sex first.
Lu Zining was really angry, but thinking that the Lu family was in danger, she could only stabilize the other party first. Unexpectedly, the entire Lu family's West Mansion had no intention of taking action. Everything was just a lust for the son of the master of the mansion.
Lu Zining, who was ashamed and angry, gritted her teeth and wanted to rush out of Lu's West Mansion, but was blocked. If she hadn't moved out of the college behind her, she might not have been able to leave Lu's West Mansion.
"Zombie!" After hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes were cold, like a vicious wolf, making Lu Zining take two steps back.
"Uh, cousin!" Lu Chen scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed!
Seeing this, Lu Zining was still frightened, "The look in your eyes just now was so terrifying!"
"Didn't you hear that the guys from Lu's West Mansion were making trouble for my cousin?"
"Really?" Lu Zining felt happy and grabbed Lu Chen's arm.
"Will I lie to my cousin?"
"Huh, I'll believe you once!" After saying that, Lu Zining leaned against Lu Chen's body, scaring the latter into retreating quickly.
"Giggles, my cousin is sometimes timid, isn't he?" Lu Zining approached with a smile on her face, and then her expression suddenly changed, "Watch the move!"
A short sword suddenly fell from his sleeve into the palm of his hand. The tip of the sword was so cold that it only stabbed Lu Chen.
"I, your uncle!" Lu Chen was speechless. He thought he was going to have good luck, but he didn't expect it to be a honey trap.
"Lu Chen, you are a pervert, you are not good at men!" He shouted softly, and the dagger was approaching Lu Chen.
"Who is the pervert? It was you who pounced on me!"
"You...I'll castrate you!"
The dagger was glowing with cold light, and with one point of the sword, it stabbed Lu Chen's lower body, scaring the latter so much that he quickly rolled on the spot.
"Crazy woman, you're still addicted!" Lu Chen got angry when he saw the dagger approaching again. He grabbed a short stick and ran the dagger along with his eight spears.
In just two rounds, Lu Zining, who had already entered the realm of a warrior, had his dagger knocked away. When he raised his head again, a short stick had fallen on his shoulder.
Snapped!
With just one click, Lu Zining lost all strength.
"Hey, are you crazy about me now? Do you want me to pay you back?"
Looking at Lu Chen, who was slowly bending over with a lewd smile on his face, Lu Zining's whole body trembled. He even lost the strength to stand and collapsed on the ground.
"Lu Chen, I'm your cousin!"
"I know, kiss and kiss!"
"Lu Chen, you bastard, let me go quickly, or I'll scream!"
"Shout, the more you shout, the more interesting you become to me, and the more excited I am!" Lu Chen rubbed his hands and approached step by step.
"Lu Chen, let me tell your father!"
"You can go ahead. At best, we can get married as soon as possible!"
