"Journey to the West"?
Zhang Yan was stunned when asked again. Strictly speaking, "Journey to the West" is about Buddhism, and it also has the intention of suppressing Taoism. There are many speculations as to why this is the case. But when he moved to the wilderness, he never thought that it would be like what Liu Xin said.
Save yourself first, then take action?
In the absence of any foreshadowing from the long series of previous events in "Journey to the West", combined with the reality of the Wild World, it sounds like Liu Xin has found a good excuse.
"Master, are you also a descendant of some god? Just like Sun Wukong's teacher in "Journey to the West"?"
This time it was Wang Nian who followed him in the booing. He has always liked Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West" and regards him as his idol. Now when I hear Liu Xin mentioning it, my first natural reaction is to join in the fun. With a quick wit, he compared himself to Sun Wukong, and Zhang Yan naturally became the Bodhi Patriarch who taught Sun Wukong all the skills of heaven and earth.
It was said playfully, but as soon as the words came out and they subconsciously thought about it, it was the three children's turn to be stunned. In their opinion, if they think about the reason Liu Xin put forward, combined with Zhang Yan from "Journey to the West", it seems that it can perfectly fit with the immortals who descend to earth to save the world in the story.
Could it be that Master is really a god? !
Zhang Yan could only smile bitterly. It was inappropriate whether he explained it or not. He could only shake his head, forcefully change the subject, and bring his words back to the divine descending technique.
The waterfall nearby roared, and the use, limitations, and drawbacks of the divine descending technique were explained in detail one by one.
This involves a "cost" issue. And how to make up for the lost "price", and from this "price", there is an important minor category that extends from door to door, Alchemy.
Zhang Yan started preparing to make alchemy on the way out of Yubei Mountain Fortress. At that time, he was targeting elixirs such as Bone Strengthening Pill, which had a low refining threshold and had a great impact on the Wild Sky Territory. The confidence lies in the fact that he has the Wanxiang Bead in his hand to transform into the best alchemy furnace suitable for his use to increase the probability of elixir formation and the efficiency of elixir refining.
Later, on the way home, Zhang Yan encountered his first life-and-death fight since arriving in the Wild Sky Territory. In the end, he had to use the divine descending technique to turn defeat into victory, and he paid the price of his life.
It is precisely because of the lack of longevity that Zhang Yan continues to explore new and more difficult elixirs, Biqing Dan, to make up for his previous shortcomings.
"Master, can we learn alchemy?"
Wang Nian directly asked the expectations of his junior brothers and sisters. In fact, it is also the extension direction of the Shinto method that Zhang Yan expected today.
As far as the divine descending technique is concerned, without the support of alchemy, the importance of the divine descending technique will be directly reduced by at least 50%.
"The way of alchemy is a supplementary method of practice, and it runs through the whole practice. The Peiyuan Dan you take and the bone-strengthening pill we take out are all products of the way of alchemy. It is also your current cultivation level that you can try to lay the foundation for. the wrist of."
Hearing this, the three apprentices were very excited. Novel methods always make people want to try them.
Later, a new project was added to the mountain practice: alchemy.
Of course, you will not start refining it directly. Instead, you need to first understand the medicinal materials and medicinal properties of the elixir used for practice, and then you must be familiar with the refining process and refining techniques of the elixir. Only after you are familiar with all of this can you start setting up the alchemy furnace.
Liu Xin chose a basic elixir that can detoxify. Wang Nian and Yang Rui chose bone-strengthening pills.
Liu Xin's choices were all based on interest. Wang Nian and Yang Rui had obviously discussed this. Most of the selfishness comes from Yang Rui, but Wang Nian is helping out out of loyalty. Anyway, for him, what kind of elixir is not refining?
Zhang Yan knew what Yang Rui was thinking. The more bone-strengthening pills that come out of the door, the greater the benefits Nanyuan Kingdom will get. However, Zhang Yan was a little worried. It's not because of Yang Rui's selfishness, but because Yang Rui obviously has the motive of "repaying the kindness of raising him". Once this motivation runs out of steam, and Yang Rui has expressed interest in Zhanqing earlier, does that mean that Yang Rui's "Tao" will be the fastest among the three apprentices to emerge?
While the apprentices were getting familiar with the elixirs and medicinal properties, Zhang Yan got into the weapon refining room. He needs to prepare teaching aids for his three apprentices.
After all, the consumption of spiritual energy for alchemy in the late stage of Qi-entraining realm and the early stage of Xuanmai realm is still quite large, unlike when Zhang Yan had the help of Wanxiang Pearl. Therefore, Zhang Yan now hopes to provide his disciples with better alchemy furnaces as much as possible.
At least it needs to be the best alchemy furnace in the low-grade magic weapon level. And it must be strong enough to avoid frying the oven as much as possible.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Just when Zhang Yan was busy in the refining room, the three young apprentices gathered together to confirm each other.
"Little Mantou, why don't you choose the bone-strengthening pill? Wouldn't you like to help Xiaomu's family?" Wang Nian carefully identified the medicinal materials in his hand over and over again, and then compared the pill formula. His memory was not as good as the other two, but You can use this stupid method to speed up your familiarity with the properties of medicine and elixirs.
Liu Xin smiled and said: "The Bone Strengthening Pill can only be used by warriors, not ordinary people or us monks. It is not suitable for all three of us to choose it. We must be prepared for the time when we travel far away to practice in the future, right?" Liu Xin still smiled like a porcelain doll. But the wisdom in his eyes and his precocious mind are already higher than those of Yang Rui who came from a royal family. There is even more assertive planning in the words.
Wang Nian and Yang Rui didn't blame Liu Xin for not choosing a bone-strengthening pill with them, but they were just curious about why they chose a detoxifying pill. Now that Liu Xin said this, she even looked over sideways.
"Ah? What do you mean?"
"Brother Shitou, think about it. When we mentioned "Journey to the West" before, Master was silent. Don't you think Master was hit by us by mistake? Master came down to earth to save the world, but the world's people Ignorance is simply difficult to cheer up, so we accepted the three of us as medicine guides. Just like Sun Wukong, Sha Wujing, and Zhu Wuneng in "Journey to the West".
Nowadays, we are like Sun Wukong practicing in the mountains, Zhu Wukong is majestic in the heaven, and Sha Wujing is on duty in Yaochi. They are all foreshadowing the past events in the book. Then it’s time to go west or east. Brother Stone, Brother Mu, do you think what I said is right? There were so many dangers on the road, so I thought that the antidote pill might come in handy. "
Wang Nian and Yang Rui opened their mouths unconsciously after listening to Liu Xin's words, and were extremely surprised. They didn't expect that their junior sister would think so far, and they were sure that their master was the god in the story.
Looking down at the medicinal materials in his hand, not only Wang Nian felt this way, but Yang Rui also felt that the bone-strengthening pill he had actively prepared in his hand was really not very fragrant. Refining some other elixirs seems to be more useful as Liu Xin said.
