Bright Star, with a diameter of more than 4 million miles, is divided into five continents: Zhenyi Continent in the east, Baijing Continent in the west, Songku Continent in the north, Taiwu Continent in the middle, and Daishun Continent in the south.
Zhenyuan Sect is located in the center of Daishunzhou and is the largest sect in the south. It has the Affairs Hall, the Law Enforcement Hall, the Law Enforcement Hall, the Foreign Affairs Hall, as well as the Instrument Hall, the Fu Hall, the Formation Hall and the Alchemy Hall.
Dantang is located on the west side of Zhenyuan Sect, with the Changling Mountains as its back.
There was a time difference of three quarters, and young Qin Mian was walking quickly on the way to the Alchemy Hall, constantly passing a few clusters of men and women.
His appearance caused all kinds of discussions on the originally quiet road.
"It's such a pity for Qin Mian. He set foot in the Tongqiao realm at the age of 10 and entered the late stage of the Tongqiao realm at the age of 12. He was struck by lightning and such a genius was wiped out."
"It's no pity. There are many geniuses who die young. Those who can enter the Tongqiao realm may not necessarily be able to enter the Chongtian realm, let alone the acquired realm, the innate realm, the transcendent realm, and the Nascent Soul realm... If everyone can enter according to the system Level, this practice is too simple."
"His life is very good. There is an ancestor of Nascent Soul and a genius sister who gave him the elixir fire and the elixir furnace. Without their care, how could he come to the elixir hall to hang out? He has been studying alchemy for more than two years, but he still has nothing. Being able to become an alchemist means that your talent is limited to this."
"I don't know what Great Alchemist Fu Huo thinks. Not only does he really treat him as a registered disciple, he also provides him with medicinal materials... It must be for the sake of his ancestor's face."
"He doesn't have much time. He has already reached the age of 15. If he cannot become an alchemist before the age of 16, or cannot advance to the Chongtian realm, even if he has the Yuan Ying ancestor and the genius sister, he must leave the sect and live as a mortal. Life. Maybe his ancestor or sister can help him find a talisman-making or weapon-refining master, but those two are not easy... With the care of his ancestor and sister, his life should not be bad. "
"In another six months, I believe I can become a second-level alchemy master. If he wants to give away the alchemy fire and the alchemy furnace, I will spend all my money to buy it. His alchemy furnace is a genuine low-grade treasure, and the alchemy fire is also a low-grade alchemy fire. It’s enough for me to advance to the Great Alchemy Master quickly.”
…
There were all kinds of comments behind him that were pitiful, sympathetic or malicious, all so blatant and unscrupulous. The sounds reached Qin Mian's ears, but he didn't even look back or clench his fists. He was traveling at the same speed. The same thing, but in fact, his mind was a little confused and his heart beat a little faster.
When he was 12 years old, he was struck by lightning while guarding the medicine garden. He was the only one of the five disciples in the Aperture Realm who survived. However, from then on, no matter whether he absorbed Yuan Stone or took elixirs, he could not open new acupoints or connect new meridians.
After he was 13 years old, seeing that he still had no progress in his practice, his sister Qin Zhi found him a pill fire, a pill furnace, several pill recipes, and an alchemy scripture, and helped him contact the great alchemist Fu Huo to learn alchemy.
Although he was unwilling in his heart, a year passed and no miracle happened, so he could only accept his sister's suggestion. After all, he would be successful in alchemy.
Unexpectedly, after learning alchemy for more than two years, the purity of the medicinal materials he refined was only 80%, which was not up to the level of a first-level alchemist with a purity of 90%. He could only be regarded as an average level among the alchemy disciples.
This kind of discussion started to appear half a year after entering the alchemy hall, and became more and more intense.
...turns 16 in less than eight months.
Walking into the alchemy hall and arriving at the door of the seventh alchemy room, he took out the jade sign and lightly swiped at the door. The door opened automatically, and a faint light curtain still separated the indoor and outdoor rooms. This light curtain is translucent and simply separates the inside and outside environment of the door, but cannot prevent people from entering.
Regarding the alchemy environment, Master Fu Huo has very strict requirements. Dust and foreign matter that are not carried by the medicinal materials themselves must not enter at all, so as not to affect the efficacy of the elixir. Therefore, people who enter the alchemy room must remove dust themselves.
He sat sideways on the threshold, took out a pair of shoes from the storage ring, replaced the pair he had worn when he came and put them into the storage ring, then twisted his body, quickly stood up and entered the room, leaving the light curtain behind.
The simple indoor facilities appeared in front of him. The floor and walls were as clean as new, and the indoor furnishings were very simple, which could be said to be rudimentary.
The alchemy room is two feet wide, three feet long and one foot high. There are only two hardwood shelves placed against the east wall and four round jade piers placed against the west wall.
Each round jade pier is three feet in diameter and is used for resting after making alchemy.
Two identical shelves, five floors, one foot high, three feet thick, and six feet long, are standard equipment in the sect's alchemy room. They are both placed against the west wall.
There are 37 empty elixir bottles placed on one, and a total of 62 medicinal herbs of seven kinds are arranged in an orderly manner on the other.
The empty room was like his empty heart.
Taking a deep breath, the dry air passes through the nose and throat and enters the lungs, giving you a complicated feeling.
He took out a vacuum charm, pinched it hard, and then threw it out. It quickly grew in size, like a piece of cloth three feet wide and four feet long.
He raised his legs and patted his trouser legs, then patted his clothes, and then pulled his hair to pat up all the dust that might have been brought in... He repeated this three times before stopping.
When the wind blows, a small amount of dust flies up, and all of it flies towards the "cloth", where it is firmly absorbed.
The wind is getting weaker and weaker, and the area of the vacuum charm is gradually shrinking.
When it was only a foot and a half wide, he stretched out his hand and the vacuum charm flew out of the door and landed at the roots of the big tree in front of the door.
He chuckled for no reason.
Landing in the same position for twelve days in a row, practice makes perfect...
A quarter of a second later, two figures appeared at the door of the alchemy room, accompanied by laughter.
"Hey, isn't this our genius? Arriving so early means we don't have a chance to show off. But you came too early and the Great Alchemist couldn't see your performance. It's all in vain."
"Junior Brother Qin, are you looking at the Great Alchemist's experience records again? Stop reading, it's useless. You still need to practice more. After reading it a thousand times, it's better to open the furnace and practice it ten times in person."
Qin Mian, who was sitting cross-legged in Yudun and reading notes, turned his head and glanced at the door, then moved his eyes back to the notepad and responded lightly, "Good morning, senior brothers."
These two people are both in the early stages of the Houtian realm. The first one to speak out was Pan Yun, and the other was named Li Kan. They were both in their 70s. They felt that they had not made much progress in their cultivation, so they applied to learn alchemy. Now they are both great alchemists of Fu Huo. named disciple.
After changing his shoes, Li Kan took out a vacuum cleaner and cleaned the two of them before walking inside.
Li Kan came to Qin Mian and patted him on the shoulder, "Junior brother Qin, don't be so deliberate. You are following our master. Now you are not lacking in experience, but what is missing is the opportunity to practice. You are still quite young and have only a short time to learn alchemy. , it is normal for the purity to be less than 90%.”
Pan Yun and Li Kan came to the alchemy hall one and a half and one year earlier than Qin Mian. They are now first-level alchemists. However, because the rate of achieving alchemy is only 30%, the sect has not yet arranged an alchemy task for them, so they can only find it themselves. Practicing medicinal materials. The two of them have more than twice as many opportunities to practice as Qin Mian. First, they have a monthly salary of 120 low-grade Yuan stones to buy medicinal materials. Second, they are in the Celestial Realm and can leave the sect to find medicinal materials.
As Qin Mian, who is in the Tongqiao realm, his monthly salary is pitiful, only 10 low-grade Yuan stones. He is not at a high level, and he cannot leave the sect to find medicinal materials by himself. If he wants to find them, he can only look for them within the sect. The reason why he was able to make elixirs was mainly because his sister Qin Zhi found medicinal materials for him, and Great Alchemist Fu Huo occasionally gave him one or two.
Pan Yun sat cross-legged on the jade pier and turned to look at Qin Mian, "Great genius, how are you collecting the medicinal materials for the healing pill? Can we exchange ideas?"
Qin Mian didn't pay attention to his tone, and responded while collecting his notepad, "I still lack three types of dendrobium, zhiqiong, and loquat. The only two types that can be exchanged are bitter stem and matsutake."
In fact, he still has a batch of ingredients for Yuan Neng Dan, but he just doesn't want to tell him about it.
Pan Yun said, "You don't have what I don't have, and you don't have what I have. It's a waste of expression to exchange it with you."
Then, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Qin Mian, I can provide you with information on medicinal materials. Do you want it?"
Qin Mian closed his eyes and did not respond, but he was a little moved.
He didn't like Pan Yun very much. The occasional exchange of words was just because we were in the same alchemy room.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Li Kan took over and said, "Junior brother Qin can't leave the sect unless you buy information. The information you go out to collect medicine by yourself is useless."
Pan Yun hummed, "Who asked him to follow us to make elixirs? Let me tell you, there is dendrobium in the stone forest on the humpback ridge."
Li Kan shook his head, "That place is already on the outskirts of the sect, and there are often Level 2 ferocious beasts there. Junior Brother Qin is not suitable."
Pan Yun said disdainfully, "As a monk, how can you not take any risks? But that's right. Qin Mian is a genius, the ancestor is a Nascent Soul, and my sister is a genius in the late Xiantian realm. There is no need to take risks, and you can just sit back and enjoy the benefits."
Although his mentality has been tempered to be relatively stable, this kind of taunting words in person still made Qin Mian furious. When he was about to retaliate, he saw a figure appearing at the door, which was Master Fu Huo. He quickly stood up and walked towards the door.
The two of them quickly stood up and walked towards the door.
Fu Huo is a third-level and second-level great alchemist in the transcendent realm. His dust removal process is much simpler - with a surge of vitality, all the dust leaves the body.
Facing the salutes of the three people, he nodded slightly, "I will only make one marrow-cleansing pill today. I won't make any pills for the next five days. If you have the medicinal materials, you can practice as much as you like."
All three of them smiled slightly.
How can a great alchemist who doesn't worry about medicinal materials know the pain of a little pharmacist?
As he spoke, his low-grade spiritual weapon, the alchemy furnace, appeared two feet above the ground, and the elixir fire came out and began to bake.
It is still a precisely controlled process: the most difficult to extract Gefen is thrown in first, followed by the second most difficult to extract Hibiscus and Baman... and finally the Huyue; when a slight green air comes out from the edge of the stove lid, add a drop of ground. The lotion acts as a blender; after dripping the lotion, Fu Huo beats the alchemy furnace rhythmically, like a tumbler.
No one made a sound during the whole process. There were only the sounds of throwing medicinal materials in the alchemy room, the sound of the liquid boiling, and the sound of the alchemy furnace being slapped in the later stage.
He only refines elixirs and does not explain them.
According to his words, the key points are only taught once, and the rest is to watch and practice more. The level you can reach depends entirely on your own understanding.
It’s not that he refuses to talk, his attitude is the best among these alchemists and great alchemists.
Reduce the fire, close the fire, and the alchemy furnace continues to spin.
Turn on the furnace, and nine crystal clear marrow-cleansing pills appear at the bottom of the furnace.
Fu Huo stretched out his right hand to take a picture of an empty elixir bottle on the shelf. During the flight of the elixir bottle, the bottle cap and the bottle body separated. He gently patted the elixir furnace with his left palm, and nine elixirs flew out in a straight line, one after another. Enter the elixir bottle.
The action is smooth and the scenes are dreamlike.
He frowned for a moment and then relaxed, "There is still a long way to go before we can become a third-level great alchemist."
Pan Yun chuckled and said, "Master, your alchemy level will always be beyond our reach. You are the youngest second-level alchemist in our sect, and I think you will soon become Dai Shunzhou... no, the youngest in Canxing." A third-level great alchemist.”
As he spoke, he picked up the alchemy furnace and moved the dregs of medicine inside into his storage ring.
Seeing his flattering look and hearing this voice, Qin Mian felt like he was going to be overturned.
How can you be like this as a human being?
Fu Huo turned to look at the three of them, "What elixir are you going to make next? How are the medicinal materials prepared?"
Saying this means that he is in a good mood and is ready to provide them with the missing medicinal materials.
Qin Mian and Pan Yun are both preparing to refine the healing pill, and Li Kan is preparing to refine the energy pill.
After the three people finished speaking, he gave each of them two or three plants, and Qin Mian got two.
He took the medicinal materials and felt a little helpless, "I don't know when this furnace of healing pills will be opened."
He lacked Dendrobium, Zhiqiong, and Quailian. Fu Huo gave him Zhiqiong and Quailian, but he didn't have Dendrobium. The reason was that he didn't have either...
Seeing that Master Fu Huo was about to leave, Pan Yun quickly followed behind and said, "Master, I have a question to ask you."
Fu Huo hummed, "Talking as we walk."
Seeing the two of them stepping out of the threshold, only their blurred figures, Li Kan smiled and said, "Junior Brother Qin, I have prepared all the ingredients for the Yuan Neng Pill and are ready to start the furnace immediately."
It's not about communication and teaching. Alchemists don't like to have other people around when they are refining alchemy. This is driving people away.
Qin Mian said sincerely, "I wish Senior Brother Li a smooth advancement into the second-level alchemy master today."
Li Kan laughed and said, "I borrow my junior brother's good words."
As soon as he walked out of the gate of the alchemy hall, he saw three people walking quickly not far ahead. The one in the middle was a man with thin lips and a broad mouth. He frowned and felt unlucky in his heart.
The man also saw him, and immediately laughed and quickened his pace, "Haha, isn't this the Great Monster Qin Mian of our Zhenyuan Sect? In three and a half years, his level has not improved; in two and a half years, he has not become an alchemist yet, why? Did he suddenly become less of a monster?"
Seeing him staring at her indifferently, the man squeezed the corners of his mouth to his ears, "Why, don't you want to hear the truth?"
Qin Mian sneered, "Dou Fei, at least I used to be a monster, but you have always been mediocre."
Du Fei is 18 years old this year. It has been two years since he entered the early stage of the Chongtian Realm. He entered the Chongtian Realm a few days ago when he was 16 years old.
Du Fei’s ancestor is the 21st elder of the sect, while the Qin family’s ancestor is the 20th elder, both at the sixth level of Nascent Soul; Qin Mian has a 35-year-old genius sister Qin Zhi, and Du Fei also has a 51-year-old genius brother Du Dai , the current realms are all in the late Xiantian realm.
Qin Mian's truth made Du Fei look ferocious, but he immediately pointed at Qin Mian and laughed, "Yes, you used to be a monster, but now you are just a waste. You can't advance to the next level, you can't refine elixirs, you say waste is not waste ?”
Then she stood in front of him, looked down at him, and said coldly, "Go back and take care of your sister. I guess she will never find medicinal materials for you in the future. You can leave the sect and go to the mortal world with peace of mind."
After saying that, he opened his mouth wide and looked up to the sky and laughed three times.
Qin Mian panicked instantly, ignored him, walked around the three of them, and ran towards home quickly.
