It was a room that was little better than a woodshed. It was small and dark, with bright and dark lights interlacing in the room.
Ning Zhishui came to the window and looked inside, and it became clear.
Sure enough, he was refining alchemy.
This kind of flickering light is what happens when refining elixirs or refining weapons. When she saw it from a distance, she thought someone might be refining things here. Now she saw that it was indeed the case.
Moreover, she was no stranger to this person who made alchemy.
It was the calf who was scolded when he dropped something on the ground in the restaurant during the day!
Ning Zhishui stood in front of the window and looked for a while, then found that the fire was out.
There was no smell coming out, presumably because he had placed a ban on it.
Ning Zhishui walked to the door and knocked lightly.
"who?"
A panicked voice came from inside.
"I saw you refining alchemy, I won't tell anyone." Ning Zhishui said.
There was no sound inside for a long time, and just when Ning Zhishui was about to turn around and leave, the door opened.
Mavericks looked at him warily, but he was obviously stunned when he saw her.
"Who are you?" he asked, "and why are you wearing a valance?"
Ning Zhishui had already covered his head when he decided to knock on the door, so he would not be able to see it at all.
Not only can this curtain cover your face, it's also long enough to reach your waist!
He was also wearing the most common black clothes in the world of immortality for ease of movement. Mavericks wouldn't recognize him even if he stared out his eyes.
"Do you know why the alchemy just failed?"
As Ning Zhishui spoke, he naturally entered the house and closed the door.
There was no trace of the alchemy furnace in the house, and there was no smell of elixir left.
This calf was very attentive and had already used magic to remove the smell from the room before opening the door.
Bullied by the boss's wife, he secretly learns alchemy and is careful and able to endure hardships.
Ning Zhishui had a preliminary judgment about him.
Mavericks was stunned, "Why?"
The alchemy he just made failed.
This was not the first time he had failed. In order to refine the Resurrection Pill, he had already scrapped seven or eight parts of the materials alone, but he could not succeed even once.
For him, every ingredient is something he saves bit by bit, and even the cheapest medicinal ingredients are quite precious.
So after seeing those materials destroyed, my heart started to bleed, so I kept thinking over and over in my mind which step caused the problem, at least dozens or hundreds of times.
But the next time I practiced, it was still a failure!
"First of all, you are not a good candidate for alchemy. You lack understanding and are not flexible enough." Ning Zhishui said.
Mavericks was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and said nothing, with a dark look in his eyes.
This is stubbornness and disobedience.
"Secondly, you don't have a good master, and no one teaches you the orthodox way of alchemy, so your basic skills are not solid, and there are many mistakes in details." Ning Zhishui showed a smile in his eyes, "I don't know how many times you have done this. I tried it, but I am willing to teach you to practice it again. As for how much you can experience it, it depends on your own destiny."
She likes people who keep working hard in the face of adversity. When she meets such juniors, she is willing to give them some advice.
But as Ning Zhishui said, she is willing to teach, but how much he can learn depends entirely on himself.
Mavericks was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it, "Are you willing to teach me?"
"Take out the alchemy furnace. Do you want to refine the elixir? Do you still have the materials?" Ning Zhishui asked him.
This time Mavericks was even more stunned.
He looked around the room in astonishment.
My room is very narrow, and it looks dirty. This dirtyness does not mean that the room is not tidied and cleaned properly, but it refers to the shabby walls and dim light.
He looked around and confirmed that what he had collected just now was very clean. There were no medicinal materials left here, and even the smell was fresh and clean.
Then how did she know what elixir she made?
Looking through the window? But that's wrong. From that angle, you can only see yourself throwing medicinal materials into the furnace, but you can't see the liquid in the furnace.
Maverick remembered that he had just taken a look at the sky through the window not long ago. She was definitely not there before that!
So, just by adding one or two medicinal ingredients, she knew what elixir she was making and why it failed?
"Yes, there is one more." Suddenly, Mavericks became excited and suddenly full of confidence in this alchemy.
He didn't ask Ning Zhishui who he was and why he wanted to teach him these words. Since others were willing to teach him, he would just learn it obediently.
Asking questions, what should I do if I offend someone and make them unwilling to teach?
After taking out the alchemy furnace and placing the medicinal materials, Mavericks started under Ning Zhishui's guidance.
"In addition to the medicinal materials, you should place the elixir for replenishing spiritual energy on your right hand. The elixir must be taken out and can be put into your mouth as soon as you reach out."
"A fiery furnace needs three breaths. After three breaths, the furnace is often already heated. At this time, you can put in the first medicinal material, dreambell. This grass has another name, called white-headed grass. One of the signs of its refining is the head. The lower part will turn white, and when you see it turn white, you can put down a medicinal ingredient."
Ning Zhishui didn't talk nonsense, and every word he said was very crucial. Mavericks listened very attentively, not daring to lose his mind at all.
"...Don't move your hands, it's not time yet! The liquid is still very turbid. Just wait until it becomes clearer before you can take the next step."
"It's time for you to replenish your spiritual energy. You can't take the elixir when there is only a trace of it left. If you don't have enough time to replenish your spiritual energy, then your batch of elixirs will be gone."
"At the end of the day, pay attention to the smell in the alchemy furnace. It has a light aroma in the early stage and a strong aroma in the later stage. After the strong aroma, it will turn into bitter aroma. Once the bitter aroma appears, it means it is going to be burnt. The dividing line between strong aroma and bitter aroma Just look at the color...you listen to my command and remember the color state at that moment."
Maverick's face was already red, and he could even hear his own heartbeat!
This furnace of elixir is almost ready!
"Take it!" Ning Zhishui said one word.
Xiao Niu was concentrating on it, listening carefully to Ning Zhishui's words while keeping in mind the state of the furnace.
After hearing the sound, he put down the fire and started the stove without hesitation, and immediately there were several hot pills in the bottle.
"It's done, it's done!"
He said excitedly, his voice was hoarse because of the excitement.
Ning Zhishui stood up and said, "It's not hopeless. Remember today's situation and practice more. You can surpass more than 60% of alchemists."
This is already a compliment, at least the Mavericks are not a piece of dead wood.
He is not a genius, but what is rare is that he is serious enough and focused without distracting thoughts.
"Thank you, senior! I dare to ask senior for his name, Niu Yu is grateful!"
He knelt down towards Ning Zhishui and put his forehead to the ground.
"But if we meet by chance, just pretend you've never met me. If there is another chance to meet me, it won't be too late to let you know."
