The Fire Dragon Alchemist's examination of Chu Chen lasted for two full hours. From alchemy medicine to alchemy theory, he had a thorough understanding of his alchemy attainments.
Needless to say, the final result is obvious just by looking at the smile on Master Fire Dragon's face.
The old man was very satisfied.
Anyone who can become a master of alchemy is one who is obsessed with alchemy and does not fake it.
The reason for recruiting disciples is simply to cultivate "Tao companions" who come from the same origin and share the same goals, so as to prepare for learning more advanced alchemy skills in the future.
When the Fire Dragon Alchemist accepts a disciple, in addition to paying attention to character, family background, understanding, talent, basic skills, etc., they will naturally become better and better, so he can save a lot of effort.
At the moment, in his eyes, Chu Chen is a "trouble-free" apprentice. He has solid basic skills in alchemy, solid attainments in alchemy, and is not bad in Taoism, Dharma, and Classics. He is good in all aspects.
Under normal circumstances, when a new apprentice is starting out, the master will not directly teach him the skills. Instead, he will ask the apprentice to listen more and think more.
However, Fire Dragon Alchemist is not an ordinary master, and Chu Chen is not mediocre either.
The Fire Dragon Alchemist did not follow the rules and train Chu Chen in the same way as he taught other ordinary disciples. Instead, he taught Chu Chen in accordance with his aptitude and taught him the alchemy method according to his skills.
Chu Chen currently has a solid theory of alchemy, but lacks the practice of alchemy.
Today, the Fire Dragon Alchemist failed in refining the elixir and had no intention of refining the elixir, so he simply found an empty alchemy room, called three apprentices together, and personally demonstrated the superior "medicine" method.
Not only to teach the young apprentice, but also to teach the two apprentices of Sun Soul and Moon Soul the basic skills to lay a solid foundation.
"There are real medicines in gold, stone, grass and trees. We, the alchemists, want to refine the magical elixir. Medicine is the first step in erecting a tall building from the ground. If the foundation is not solid, the palaces and pavilions will be useless no matter how magnificent they are. Sooner or later they will collapse. Make a difference.”
As the Fire Dragon Alchemist spoke, he personally practiced how to "make sand".
The so-called "sand making" is to turn the cinnabar containing spirituality into real soil to obtain the energy of the elites of heaven and earth, the elixir of creation.
In the same way, lead making is to extract real lead from ordinary lead that contains spirituality.
And so on, all kinds of elixirs and precious materials have their own "processing" methods.
The level of the preparation method directly affects the final elixir.
Therefore, the more skillful an alchemist is, the more he or she pays attention to the "medicine" method.
The major schools of alchemy and different alchemists have different "medicine" methods. Some are rough and crazy, while others are subtle and clever. They are all different.
The truly superior "pharmaceutical" method is a secret that is not passed down by various sects and schools.
The Fire Dragon Alchemist didn't hide it, he taught the "real Kung Fu" as soon as he got started and started practicing in front of the alchemy furnace.
"First put the black lead into the holy soil pool of Hexisheng, and practice it until the time when Gui has exhausted the king's true nature, the golden flowers bloom at night, and the moon in the Geng square appears with a peak... Gold and wood are channeled, water and fire are both harmonious, and the four seasons are Warming and nourishing, the medicine of the second period... Qian nourishes Zhen male, Kun generates female, the intersection of middle palace produces true earth, and earth produces true gold.”
Chu Chen looked at it very seriously.
He learned the "medicine method" from his master Fire Dragon Alchemist in [Alchemy Experience].
Seeing his master making medicine with his own eyes, he was inexplicably familiar with it. He was a little confused at first, but with the master's practice, he immediately became enlightened and understood everything.
After the Fire Dragon Alchemist fully demonstrated the "sand making" technique, he first asked Sun Soul and Moon Soul:
"Sun Soul, Moon Soul, you two can see it clearly. Please remember it carefully. In the future, don't keep refining the mixed true soil, which will affect the refining of medicine and elixir."
"Yes! Disciple, I have seen it clearly. I will pay attention to it in the future."
The two of them, Sun Soul and Moon Soul, spoke in unison and had a tacit understanding.
The Fire Dragon Alchemist glanced at the two apprentices angrily. He had been taught a lesson many times but never took it to heart. He was always careless.
However, at this moment, the Fire Dragon Alchemist was too lazy to pay attention to the two of them. Instead, he focused his attention on Chu Chen and said:
"Disciple Ling Xiao, come and try."
After a conversation, the master and the disciple became more and more familiar with each other. The Fire Dragon Alchemist quite appreciated calling Chu Chen "Taoist Master Lingxiao", so he directly called Chu Chen "Lingxiao".
"good!"
Chu Chen came to the alchemy furnace, realized the [alchemy experience], recalled the master's "preparation" process just now, and got started immediately.
The gap between theory and practice is huge.
Chu Chen figured out all aspects of "sand making" and followed the same method.
But after a lot of work, he failed to refine the "True Earth" as good as his master, Fire Dragon Alchemist.
The "real soil" he refined was so messy that it was hard to bear to look at it.
Chu Chen felt that he couldn't do anything and was quite ashamed.
However, Fire Dragon Alchemist and Sun Soul Yue Po were shocked.
Senior Sister Yupo asked in surprise: "Junior Brother Lingxiao, I'm afraid this isn't your first time making sand?"
Chu Chen observed the words and expressions, and saw the surprised expressions on the faces of his master, senior brothers and sisters. He immediately knew that he was not performing poorly, but that he was doing very well.
At the moment, he nodded.
"Yes, I have dabbled in it before, but it was just behind closed doors. Master just gave me some guidance, and I suddenly became enlightened."
"Great kindness!"
The Fire Dragon Alchemist was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Sun Hun, Yue Po, you, Junior Brother Ling Xiao, do not have a lineage of alchemy in their sect, so they all rely on self-study. During this period, they have to cultivate themselves internally and accumulate merits in the Immortal Court. They are very busy. Even so, you see Look at Ling Xiao, who has only been practicing for less than three years. How solid the foundation is, he must have put in hard work."
"Ling Xiao, do you think so?"
"No...ahem, that's right, I did put in a lot of hard work."
Chu Chen looked embarrassed.
Originally, he wanted to tell the truth, but he really didn't put in any hard work.
Master Huolong Alchemist's "Alchemy Experience" appeared in the Heart Temple, and he learned seven, seven, eighty-eight in one breath in the way of "Yuanshen Enlightenment".
Except that it took a lot of spiritual energy and made him very tired, the rest was really not hard work.
But, to tell the truth is too Versailles, too pretentious.
Many alchemy tips cannot be learned by reading a lot of books, especially the "pharmaceutical method", which must be achieved after years of dedicated study.
He said that he had been involved in alchemy for a short time, so wouldn't it be just adding trouble and asking for trouble?
Therefore, he could only admit his hard work without conscience.
"Master, this disciple has always been interested in alchemy. I have had some private contact with it, and only then have I gained some experience."
The Fire Dragon Alchemist nodded with satisfaction.
He made some calculations about Chu Chen's past experience. In just two or three years, he had reached such a high level of Taoist cultivation, worked in the Immortal Court, practiced spells, and had time to study alchemy. It was really not easy. .
Master Fire Dragon Alchemist sighed in his heart and said to Sun Soul and Moon Soul:
"Your junior brother Ling Xiao is indeed very talented, but I assert that he must have spent a lot of hard work and hard work to achieve this level of skill. You two should learn from it and don't just think about being lazy all day long. Until now, , I can’t even practice the second-turn spiritual sand elixir.”
"Disciple is ashamed!"
Sun Hun and Yue Po immediately buried their heads in obedience, admitting their mistakes again and again, feeling bitter in their hearts.
I thought good times were coming, but who knew...
The junior brother is very talented, but he is still so hard-working, and even allows others to live.
The beautiful days I originally imagined seem to be becoming more and more fleeting and dreamy.
...
Chu Chen spent the whole day learning "pharmaceutical" techniques at Huolongju, and late at night, he hurried back to Guangping County.
In the sea of clouds and in the sky, the little devil lay on Chu Chen's back and said frankly:
"Senior brother, I think Senior Brother Rihun and Senior Sister Yuepo look a bit familiar, as if I have met them before."
Chu Chen was surprised. Senior Brother Sun Hun and Senior Sister Yue Po had been refining elixirs in the mountains with their master Fire Dragon Alchemist all year round and rarely went out. How could they know each other?
"Little devil, when have you seen this?"
The kid shook his head: "I don't know, they are inexplicably familiar. I don't know why, when I saw the two of them, they reminded me of Senior Brother Zhenqing. They are inexplicably familiar."
Chu Chen: "..."
