Ling Ruogu's ability to pick flowers requires a very good understanding of the characteristics of the flowers. The roots of the nine-tailed nightshade flower are extremely tough and difficult to pick out no matter how much force is used. But now Ling Ruogu is pulling out all the flower roots along with the stone wall and soil. out.
This nine-tailed nightshade flower is rare in the world, and not many people can successfully pick it.
If he hadn't been able to see through the characteristics of the medicinal materials at a glance, Ling Ruogu's cultivation might have forced him to pick the nine-tailed nightshade flower, which would have been like using a mantis' arm as a cart.
Gu Xiaotian's face was full of shock, "Senior brother, you still said you are not a genius?"
Ling Ruogu smiled bitterly: "I'm not a genius."
After picking the nine-tailed nightshade flowers, the two of them had completed their trip up the mountain to collect herbs, so they headed down the mountain.
On the way down the mountain, Gu Xiaotian kept praising Ling Ruogu, but Ling Ruogu laughed it off and only said that everyone can learn these things.
Back at the medicine hall, Ling Ruogu poured out all the medicinal materials collected today, and walked towards the alchemy hall with the nine-tailed nightshade flower in his hand.
In the alchemy hall, Ling Ruogu, unlike before, did not greet other disciples and walked straight towards the innermost part.
When they got to the innermost place, they saw Tong Wuqi looking at Alan refining alchemy and teaching him something with an angry look on his face.
Tong Wuqi, who looked like a child, was standing aside with an angry expression: "How many times have I told you to use your heart carefully? You can see for yourself how dried up this medicine is and it continues to flourish."
Alan curled his lips, completely ignored Tong Wuqi's lesson, and continued to use his true energy to add fire to the bottom of the furnace.
Seeing that the lesson was useless, Tong Wuji was so angry that he sat on the ground, looking very much like an angry child.
In the distance, Ling Ruogu and Gu Xiaotian came in simultaneously.
Tong Wuqi saw the two people coming in, sitting on the ground, folding his hands, and said in a somewhat unkind tone: "Why are you two here if you have nothing to do?"
Naturally, Gu Xiaotian did not dare to offend Tong Wuqi. After all, Tong Wuqi had helped him, so he always had to give him enough face.
Ling Ruogu ignored Tong Wuqi completely, holding the nine-tailed dragon sunflower and walked to the furnace.
Tong Wuqi is also the master of Xuandan Peak, so he naturally recognizes the Nine-tailed Sunflower. He is also curious about where Ling Ruogu got this thing.
"Nine-tailed dragon sunflower, where did you come from?" Tong Wuqi stood up and walked towards Ling Ruogu and asked.
Ling Ruogu seemed to have a hard time dealing with this boy Wuqi, so he calmly replied: "It was picked from the mountains."
Tong Wuqi also became interested and wanted to snatch the Nine-tailed Dragon Sunflower.
Ling Ruogu protected the Nine-tailed Dragon Sunflower with an angry look in his eyes, staring at Tong Wuqi, "Old man, are you going to rob some good things?"
Tong Wuchikong smoothed his beard and pretended to be an old man, "These nine-tailed nightshade flowers are already rare. Judging from your appearance, you must be making elixirs. Your ability is not enough."
Ling Ruogu snorted coldly: "Today is different from the past. Even if I practice a waste elixir, that is still my business."
Tong Wuji saw that there was no hope of seizing the flowers, not to mention that Gu Xiaotian, an outsider, was still there. He didn't want him to see his joke. He gave up his position with an unhappy expression and stood aside: "Okay, then I will watch you practice. I want to Look, this year, in addition to taking care of the medicine hall and delivering medicine, your boy has been studying alchemy."
Ling Ruogu first activated his true energy and briefly applied some fire, then scooped out a bowl of water and placed it in the cauldron.
When the water began to be slowly burned by the fire, Ling Ruogu picked up the nine-tailed nightshade flower on the side, put the nine-tailed nightshade flower and the stone into the furnace cauldron, and gently held the flower roots with his hands.
When the stones and soil were melted a little by the cauldron and gradually began to loosen, Ling Ruogu quickly pulled out the nine-tailed nightshade flower.
Tong Wuqi stood aside, looked at Ling Ruogu calmly and said, "Continue."
Ling Ruogu cleaned the furnace, lit the fire again, and filled it with water.
But the fire grew stronger and stronger, but Ling Ruogu still didn't make the slightest move.
Tong Wuqi said anxiously at the side: "The temperature is too high, just throw this flower in and it will be cured!"
Ling Ruogu seemed not to hear anything, and concentrated on watching the fire that was getting stronger and stronger.
It's just that the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and even the furnace cauldron is shaking a little.
Just from this tremor, Ling Ruogu seemed to sense something. He seized the opportunity and hurriedly threw the nine-tailed nightshade flower into the cauldron and started to lower the fire.
While Ling Ruogu was lowering the fire, he did not forget to stare at the Nine-tailed Nightshade flower in the cauldron. Seeing that the Nine-tailed Nightshade flower was about to sink in the water, he hurriedly started to add water to make the Nine-tailed Nightshade flower float on the water again.
Tong Wuqi looked left and right, but nothing was what he wanted. He opened his mouth to teach him a lesson, but Alan was already standing behind him and covered his mouth.
Alan covered Tong Wuqi's mouth and stared at Ling Ruogu intently, "Master, don't make any noise, let me concentrate on making alchemy."
The nine-tailed nightshade flower kept churning in the cauldron, and the original nine petals began to slowly fall off and merge into the water.
The juice contained in the petals was also smoked and roasted into a trace of red powder.
After all the petals of the nine-tailed nightshade flower fell off, Tong Wuqi watched the opportunity and quickly and accurately took out the flower root, leaving only the petals to continue refining in the cauldron.
Tong Wuqi was a little dissatisfied when he saw Ling Ruogu being so wasteful: "What a waste of natural resources. The spiritual liquid contained in the roots of this flower is no less than the petals."
After Ling Ruogu took out the flower roots, he continued to simmer the fire. As the temperature continued to rise, the originally viscous red liquid slowly turned into a ball and turned into a strong paste.
Seeing the changes in the shape of the cauldron, Ling Ruogu increased the fire for a while and lowered the fire for a while. He was a little unable to take action and hurriedly shouted: "Here comes the water."
Alan, who was still watching the alchemy, immediately went to scoop up a ladle of water. When Ling Ruogu spoke, he started to add it little by little.
"Stop." Seeing that the water had reached the level he wanted, Ling Ruogu told Alan to stop.
Seeing that his condition was beginning to stabilize, Ling Ruogu condensed Qi with his hands and exerted Qi outside the cauldron.
Many disciples outside the alchemy hall also came to watch. Seeing Ling Ruogu's alchemy skills, they hurriedly asked, "Alchemy can be practiced like this?"
Tong Wuqi looked unhappy. Although he was now physically like a child, his mind was still that of a stubborn old man.
He believed that alchemy was the combination of medicinal materials. When he accepted Ling Ruogu as his disciple, he was attracted by Ling Ruogu's talent, but who knew that Ling Ruogu would think of some devious ways from time to time.
The master and the disciple did not know how many times they had quarreled over this issue, but Ling Ruogu was not as happy as Tong Wuqi wanted.
Tong Wuqi regretted that he did not teach Ling Ruo well at the beginning.
After that, he devoted himself to teaching Alan, but as a result, his disciples became more stubborn than the last.
This is one of Ling Ruogu's crooked ways to add vitality to the furnace.
But this is immature. Once too much zhenqi is added, the result will be an explosion!
As the energy in the cauldron increased, a cluster of uncontrollable flames suddenly shot up.
Inside the cauldron, the red paste-like object began to shake violently. Tong Wuqi watched anxiously from the side, and was worried that his disciples would be affected by the exploding cauldron, so he hurriedly stepped forward to suppress it.
But as soon as his legs took a step forward, Ling Ruogu immediately looked at Tong Wuqi with sharp eyes.
Tong Wuqi was also startled by this look and stopped moving forward.
Ling Ruogu was not affected by the flames at all, but continued to increase his energy.
The cauldron stopped shaking in an instant, and slowly, the paste-like objects in the cauldron began to merge.
Ling Ruogu saw the changes in the cauldron, moved his hands in and out, and shouted: "The pill is complete!"
Without any warning, the furnace exploded with a "bang" sound.
The sound of the explosion resounded through the sky, and the entire hall was shaken by the explosion.
The dust dispersed, and only one person was seen lying in front of the broken cauldron.
Tong Wuqi sighed regretfully. When will he, his apprentice, know that there is no wrong way to make alchemy?
"Hehehehe." Ling Ruogu's laughter came out, and everyone looked at Ling Ruogu.
Then Ling Ruogu took out a pill from his arms. The pill body was blood red all over, and there were three white edges on the outer circle. This was the legendary pill pattern!
A pill pattern represents one of the five internal organs of the human body. Anyone who eats an elixir with a pill pattern will improve his or her five internal organs, and can condense up to five pill patterns.
In the entire Bahuang Continent, there are only two people who can refine the five elixir patterns. One of them is far away in Tianxiang Valley, and the other is Tong Wuqi.
Ling Ruogu's cultivation level is not very high, but he has been able to practice three pill patterns, which is enough to prove how brilliant his talent is.
Alan was the happiest and hurriedly ran to Ling Ruogu to look at the Cheng Dan, and said in surprise: "Brother, you have really mastered it!"
Ling Ruogu looked at this Cheng Dan with a silly smile, and even he found it a bit incredible.
After patting the dust on his face, Ling Ruogu stood up with Alan's help.
Ling Ruogu held the completed elixir in his hand, walked towards Tong Wuqi with his head held high, displayed the completed elixir in front of him, and said with a hint of disdain: "Who said that alchemy can only be done according to the book? This is my alchemy way!"
Tong Wuqi looked at the elixir. It was of excellent quality, especially the beautiful three elixir lines. There was also a slightly white edge next to it, which was a sign of four elixir lines.
But Tong Wuqi is still a stubborn old man after all, and he can't lose face or anything else: "It's just luck. This furnace didn't blow you up, which means you are very lucky."
However, no matter how you listen to these words, it makes people feel that they are just looking for face.
Ling Ruogu shook his shoulders, with a bright expression on his face.
After all, a master is better than a disciple, and he knew very well what a respectable person this master was.
It's like it's obvious that he accidentally ate the bad elixir and he was rejuvenated, but he insists on saying that he just had a minor accident after taking too many elixirs.
Ignoring Tong Wuqi, Ling Ruogu turned around and asked Gu Xiaotian to open his mouth.
Gu Xiaotian did as he was told, and Ling Ruogu directly threw the pill into Gu Xiaotian's open mouth. Without waiting for Gu Xiaotian to react, he stepped forward to cover it and forced Gu Xiaotian to swallow it.
Gu Xiaotian still had the same idea as before, that medicine is three parts poison and should not be taken indiscriminately.
He usually gets some pills to improve his cultivation, and when all the disciples take them, he feels at ease.
But no one has ever taken this elixir, so if you just take it without knowing it, don't harm yourself.
He quickly raised his throat and wanted to spit out the medicine.
Tong Wuqi shook his eyebrows at the side, and then lectured again: "What a waste of natural resources, such a precious elixir, so you can take advantage of this kid?"
Ling Ruogu shrugged and said in a disdainful tone: "I can give the pills I practice to whoever wants to eat them."
