Holding the document in hand, he entered the mountain gate of Danlun Sect. As soon as he entered, a deacon disciple of the sect asked: "What's the matter with our guest?"
Wu Sheng raised the white silk in his hand. The deacon disciple saw it and nodded: "Turn left, second door, and go up to the high platform."
Wu Sheng was about to ask around and find out what the so-called "Cheng Dan" meant when a nobleman from Chu State rushed in from behind: "Quickly, please see the Grand Master!"
The deacon's disciple hurriedly approached him: "Judge, what's the matter?"
The man said: "It's urgent, hurry, hurry, hurry!"
The deacon disciple did not dare to ask any more questions and quickly led him away in another direction.
Wu Sheng looked back and saw that the man was wearing a vermilion robe, which was the official uniform of Dr. Chu. He didn't know what was urgent about him, but he came over without even changing his official uniform. He seemed to have seen him vaguely?
Judges?
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly remembered that when he was at Leigong Mountain, he and Shuangcha joined forces to rescue people. At that time, there were two Chu generals standing in front of Mu Taoist's cave. Shuangcha had introduced that the man with a plain robe and jade belt, named Sun Jiezi, was not Ying. Master of the capital?
They were far apart at the time and couldn't see clearly, but let alone it, they seemed to be somewhat similar.
Although Sun Jiezi had never seen him before and was not afraid of showing up in front of him, he still felt a little pressure in his heart. Wu Sheng did not dare to delay in front of the door anymore. He quickened his pace, turned left into the second gate, and followed a stone path in the forest. Go forward and pass through a half-moon gate, and you will see a five-foot-high platform in front of you.
Twenty or thirty people were already sitting on the high platform, listening to an elder who looked in his fifties or sixties, and there were several disciples waiting at the foot of the stage.
When Wu Sheng showed his head, dozens of pairs of eyes glanced over at him. Wu Sheng's breathing was stagnant, and he covered his face and tried to leave, but it was too late.
The elder shouted on the high platform and asked, "Who is coming?"
Wu Sheng had no choice but to lower his head and answer: "Wu Sheng, the alchemist from Songyang, was ordered by the king to present the elixir. I accidentally took the wrong route. I apologize!" As he spoke, he stepped back, preparing to exit the moon gate and run away.
But the elder said: "You went right, it's here... Why are you so late?"
Wu Sheng couldn't figure out the situation and said bravely: "Songyang County is a long way away..." He originally wanted to say that he was delayed on the way, but suddenly he didn't know what to say, because he had never heard of where Songyang County in Chu State was. , and didn’t have time to ask, what if it’s very close?
The elder frowned and scolded: "The road is far away, but the king ordered it early, so you have enough time! Furthermore, among the counties of Lugao, Lingyang, Juchao and Zhaoguan, which one is closer than you?"
Wu Sheng Weiwei did not dare to refute and bowed his head in resignation.
The elder said: "Come on stage and present the elixir you refined."
Is this how Wu Shengxin spoke? What is this being submitted for? As I walked up the steps, I thought over and over in my mind, should I present the elixir from the original owner, or should I use my own?
Time was tight and I had no time to judge. I quickly came to the elder. He still presented the black ginseng pills and Jingning pills on the original owner. Let's be honest first and don't make trouble by being too clever.
He raised his head and looked at the elder in front of him. Unable to confirm whether he was the great alchemist Wu Kuangtian, he said, "Senior, please test the elixir."
Someone sitting down below to listen to the Dharma interrupted and said, "This is the Third Supreme Master."
Wu Sheng still didn't know what "Third Supreme Master" meant, but he confirmed that this person was not the Great Alchemist Kuangtian Wu, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed: "Yes, meet the Third Supreme Master."
The elder spread out the two bottles of elixir in his palm, glanced at it and threw it aside, scolding: "Is this the elixir you made? Idiot! Idiot! Is this an elixir? This is filth, dried Filth!"
After scolding Wu Sheng, he turned to the people sitting on the stage and said: "No wonder the war in Jiuzi is difficult and the nobles suffered heavy casualties. Do you alchemists all make elixirs like this? If you support the army with this inferior elixir, the battle can still be fought well." ?”
He pointed to the last row and said to Wu Sheng: "Take a seat!"
Wu Sheng sat at the end with his head lowered and a confused look on his face, and continued to listen to the lecture from the Third Master: "Your Majesty is wise, so I have ordered you to go to the Ancient Dragon Mountain to listen to the Dharma and learn elixirs. I already know all about the elixirs you presented. It lasts for three months. If you can't improve the quality to at least the first level, don't even think about me. From now on, Sikong Mansion will issue instructions to all counties that the elixirs you have refined are not allowed to be purchased. Do you understand me clearly?"
Everyone responded in unison with their heads downcast. Improving the level of the elixir is easier said than done, and the deadline is three months. If you can't do it after three months, your job will be ruined. What should you do then? People here asked themselves, at least most of them felt desperate.
Wu Sheng did not have this problem. Instead, he listened attentively with his ears pricked up. What this Third Master taught today was the most basic thing, that is, how to distinguish and judge elixirs. It seems that he was extremely disappointed with the people here, so he started to popularize it again from the most basic common sense, but it gave Wu Sheng an advantage.
Wu Sheng accidentally entered this field, and it can be said that he is an out-and-out wild man. The distinction between alchemy products is only the most superficial high-grade, medium-grade, and low-grade. The popularization of this theoretical basic course by the Third High School Normal School is right for him. So I listened with gusto.
It was not until today that Wu Sheng knew that the elixirs were divided into three grades among the three grades. After the same elixir was refined, the characteristics of the elixirs were classified into which grades. The three senior masters described it one by one.
Based on this, Wu Sheng compared the elixirs he had refined one by one, and was very pleased to find that they were basically all first-rate. Of course, there were also second-rate or third-rate elixirs, but that was due to the elixir recipe, plus he had deliberately done it. .
For example, Winter Bamboo Shoot Pill, well, it is now called Shenggu Pill. Shenggu Pill No. 1 and No. 2 correspond to the second and third grades respectively. The reason why the No. 1 Bone-Making Pill is second-class is because of the innate limitations of the elixir. This kind of elixir will never become a first-class pill. After subtracting the spiritual materials, the No. 2 Bone-Bone Pill will be a third-class pill.
At the same time, in the process of explaining the grades, the Third High School Teacher also quoted from other sources and rambled on, which also allowed Wu Sheng to understand the whole story of the presentation of the pill and the identity of the Third High School Teacher himself.
The root cause of everything was the Battle of Jiuzi. The battle lasted too long, and the Chu army had obvious problems with the supply of elixirs. A large number of third-grade or even inferior elixirs flooded the military camp, causing complaints from the army's sergeants and soldiers.
Therefore, Yin Quwan sent a letter to the King of Chu to summon the alchemists from all the counties in the eastern part of Chu who were making elixirs for the Chu army to the capital of Ying to join the Alchemy Sect to improve their alchemy skills. Some counties come with three or four people, and some counties only have one person. They are all recommended by the county and gathered here.
Alchemy is the foundation of an alchemy master or even a sect of alchemy. He is willing to teach alchemy to the stupid eastern alchemists. The great alchemist Sangtian Wu really puts his best effort into thinking about the Chu country. This also shows that the alchemy sect How close are the connections with the upper echelons of Chu State.
The person in charge of teaching is the Third High School Teacher. The third high master is the third high master of the Alchemy Sect, named Jing Yue. He is the third disciple of the great alchemist Sang Tianwu. He is an alchemist in the realm of refining gods. His two senior brothers are called the high master and the second high master.
Although it sounds like Jing Yue, the third high school teacher, has not yet reached the advanced level of god refining, Wu Sheng was deeply impressed by what he said today, and it can be said that he has gained a lot.
Therefore, when the lecture was over, Wu Sheng prostrated himself respectfully, and together with the "idiots" from other counties, thanked him loudly - no matter what others thought, at least he was sincere.
