"Nima, what's going on?"
Tian Buhui took the alchemy furnace and saw that all the elixirs he had just put in were reduced to ashes.
I knew that alchemy would not be smooth sailing, but I didn't expect that it would completely fail just after the second step.
It's like just hanging out outside and finishing before going in, without feeling at all.
Tian Buhui refused to give up and tried several times without success.
The best-case scenario is that one of the elixirs has just turned into liquid, and is reduced to ashes along with the other elixirs.
"My darn thing!"
Although I was unwilling to do so, I had to give it up.
All his mana was almost exhausted, and he sat slumped on the ground as tired as a dead dog.
"I don't want to become an immortal anymore, I want to go home."
It is indeed difficult to learn alchemy by yourself. No wonder the materials for refining the Peiyuan Dan are so cheap, and most people still choose to buy them instead of refining them themselves.
Tian Buhui was full of complaints. It seemed that he was not destined to be a destined person, so he could make alchemy and weapons at will.
Fortunately, he is now an outer disciple and can attend classes and study.
He decided to go to Pill Peak tomorrow to learn and observe how others made pills.
He fell asleep in the alchemy room all night.
The next day, early in the morning, he regrouped and left the cave and headed straight for the Pill Peak.
As soon as we reached the foot of the mountain, the aroma of medicinal herbs floated in the air from a long distance away, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
"It is indeed a mountain that focuses on alchemy. If you live here, you will probably live a few more years."
On both sides of the path, terraced fields like tea mountains have been artificially cultivated, and they are planted with various spiritual herbs and elixirs.
When you reach the mountainside, you will see a group of majestic buildings standing among them, with pavilions and pavilions looming in the smoke.
Tian Buhui sighed in his heart, the Immortal Cultivation Sect is really extraordinary, this scene seems familiar.
I've seen TV shows before that the fairy world looks like this, but it's made of dry ice, and the smoke here seems to be naturally formed.
The surrounding disciples saw him looking around with a curious expression. He was wearing the clothes of an outer disciple, but no one stepped forward to chase him away, but there was an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
Tian Buhui didn't care about other people's eyes. It was indeed his first time here.
It is normal for others to think that they are just a bumpkin who has never seen the world.
He withdrew his gaze and walked towards the building complex.
The people he met also looked at him strangely, and when there were so many people, they couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Tian Buhui found that there were many people here. In addition to wearing outer disciple clothes like himself, they also had a medicine leaf symbol on their left chest. Most of them looked at him as people with the symbol.
"Hehe~!" A chuckle came from the side.
A young man with a handsome appearance and a careless expression approached.
This man behaved frivolously, and his eyes looked at him unscrupulously.
"This senior brother, what's wrong with junior brother?"
Tian Buhui was a cautious person, and although he was quite displeased with this person's behavior, he didn't want to offend anyone when he first came here, so he asked politely.
"No, no! You're not wrong, you're too right." The young man shook his head and said.
"Oh? I don't regret it in the field, but I want to ask my teacher."
There was a hint of ridicule in this man's words. He was puzzled by the way the people around him looked at him, so he took this opportunity to ask for clarification.
"It's easy to talk, I'll be silent for now." Seeing that his expression was not abnormal at all when he answered, the young man felt a little less contemptuous and introduced himself.
"It turns out to be Senior Brother Shi. What did Senior Brother mean just now? Please clarify with Junior Brother." Tian Buhui bowed and asked.
Shi Yanmo chuckled again: "Not to mention clearing up doubts, let me ask you first, have you just been promoted to an outer disciple?"
Tian Buhui nodded. It was his first time here. It was not surprising to see that he was a new outer disciple.
Seeing his confirmation, Shi Yanmo said proudly: "Let me guess, do you think the finished elixir is too expensive and want to learn to refine it yourself?"
Tian Buhui's eyes moved slightly. He did come here for this reason.
"Have you tried many times and failed before you thought of studying here?" Shi Yanmo had a profound expression that saw everything through.
Tian Buhui's mind was spinning and he asked, "How does senior brother know this?"
"Haha!" Shi Yanmo became even more proud and said with a smile: "Not only do I know that, but also those guys who looked at you just now think so."
He no longer concealed anything and explained: "There are a few people who think like you come here every year. The more I see them, the more I can see the purpose of your visit."
Tian Buhui thought, so that's it, but even if there were people like him before, it's not like everyone here would look at him weirdly!
Seeing that he still didn't understand, Shi Yanmo continued: "I'll be a good person and give you some advice. Junior brother probably already knows that refining alchemy is difficult!"
Tian Buhui spent a day refining elixirs, and it can be said that he had no clue and made no progress at all. Naturally, he knew the difficulty of refining elixirs.
"Junior brother does know that refining alchemy is not easy!"
"That's right. Do you know where the difficulty is?"
Tian Buhui thought for a while and said: "The flames when refining the alchemy, the proficiency in the specific operations."
"What you said is correct, but you didn't say the most important thing." Shi Yanmo said.
"oh?"
"Haha, the most important thing in making an elixir is the elixir. To put it bluntly, it is the spirit stone. How can you make an elixir without the spirit stone to buy the elixir?"
"Look at these guys around you. Which one of them hasn't been at Pill Peak since they were young? They started learning by identifying elixirs and understanding their properties."
"By the way, you still don't know what the medicine leaf mark on them is, right? It's the mark of an alchemy apprentice. You can only get it if you pass the test and can refine inferior elixirs."
Tian Buhui looked at Shi Yanmo's chest. He was also an alchemy apprentice.
Shi Yanmo reached out and touched the symbol on his chest, and said with some pride: "It's not that easy to be an alchemy apprentice."
"Where did I talk to you just now? Yes! Lingshi! When I first met you, I asked you if you were a new outer disciple. It was because I knew that outer disciples don't earn many spiritual stones. In a year, they can only earn ten. A few dozen yuan is worth the weight of the sky."
"Excluding daily practice, how much surplus is left to buy elixirs and make elixirs?"
"Alchemy master is a very expensive profession. Without the support of the sect, it is difficult to become an alchemy apprentice."
"The people here are all selected to study at the Pill Peak since childhood. It will take at least three to five years before the sect will provide resources to start truly refining the pill."
"When you first come to Pill Peak, the sect will not provide you with alchemy resources. If you want to make pills, you have to spend your own spiritual stones."
Shi Yan spoke silently for a long period, and after checking that there was no abnormality in his reaction, he continued: "Junior brother is not young. Do you really want to waste several years of cultivation time learning the basics of alchemy? In the past, most of those people gave up halfway because they lacked financial resources. Some people He even went bankrupt, so those guys looked at you strangely when you came here."
Tian Buhui said, it turns out that the people here regard themselves as those who are driven by whims and do not know their own abilities.
This man talked a lot and was not very nice, but he explained a lot of questions to himself.
However, his situation is not as bad as he said, and his special features are not known to outsiders.
