Chapter 40: Jia Ma Imperial Capital (please read and ask for monthly votes)
Alchemy refining and alchemist are one of the distinctive professions in Dou Qi Continent.
They can refine various elixirs that can improve their strength. Every alchemist is worthy of the efforts of all forces to win over, and their status is extremely prominent.
On the contrary, weapon refiners and formation masters are very rare on the Dou Qi Continent, and there is no systematic career path.
There are not many famous weapons in Dou Qi Continent. The formations are powerful, but they are few in number.
Therefore, any city with an alchemist's union is a first-class large city in the Jiama Empire.
Although Wutan City, where Xiao Yan is located, can be considered a big city, it is only the lowest-class city. There is no alchemist union and few alchemists live in it.
In order to be able to become a disciple of a high-level alchemist, Gu Yi immediately rode a red-blooded horse directly to the ‘Jama Holy City’, the imperial capital of the Jiama Empire.
The imperial capital is the center of the Jia Ma Empire, and there are many powerful people.
The Alchemist Guild in the Imperial Capital has gathered the largest number and most powerful alchemists in the Jiama Empire.
Among them are some fifth- and sixth-grade alchemists.
And Gu Yi’s goal is them.
If he didn’t find a fifth-grade or sixth-grade alchemist as his master, Gu Yi might as well just become a disciple of the alchemist of Yunhai Sect.
As one of the top forces in Xueyue Kingdom, Yunhai Sect has trained many alchemists within the sect.
Although they look at the entire Jiuxiao Continent, the level of alchemy is not high, and the most powerful ones can only refine some spiritual-level elixirs suitable for the Lingwu realm.
But on Dou Qi Continent, their ranks are at least third- and fourth-grade alchemists.
They are more than adequate as alchemy teachers in the early days of the Ancient Yi.
As a genius, he can also get strong support from the Yunhai Sect, making it easier to become an alchemist.
The reason why Gu Yi chose to go far away from the near and become a disciple in Dou Qi Continent is because the higher the level of the alchemist, the higher the level of teaching his disciples.
Gu Yi became their disciple, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, his alchemy skills were able to grow faster.
Moreover, these high-level alchemists have a lot of elixirs to pass on, and Gu Yi does not need to work hard to collect and buy them.
Of course, Gu Yi could also become a disciple of alchemists from two worlds at the same time, integrating the essence of alchemy from both worlds into one body.
Anyway, the other party cannot cross the world and does not know the existence of another master.
With the inheritance of alchemists from these two worlds, learning from each other and confirming each other, Gu Yi can grow faster.
There is [enlightenment]. He won't worry that the amount of knowledge he has to learn will slow down his cultivation speed.
...
In less than two days, Guyi arrived at the Holy City of Jiama from the eastern province of the Jiama Empire.
Ahead, the outline of a city even more majestic than Broken Blade City gradually emerged. There were a large number of carriages and flying monster mounts coming and going on the roads and in the air, making it extremely prosperous.
Following the flow of people into the Holy City of Jiama, Gu Yi went straight to the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild.
No one in the Imperial Capital knew the location of the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild. Gu Yi knew its specific location after asking someone at random.
After walking a few long streets, Gu Yi saw a majestic building with a faint red scent and smoke surrounding it.
Gu Yi has been observing the Alchemist Guild for a long time and found that if you want to enter, you must at least be an Alchemist Apprentice, or have a letter of introduction from an Alchemist Tutor.
But he wanted to become an alchemist as his disciple during this trip, so how could he have a letter of introduction...
"It seems that he has to become an alchemist apprentice first..." Gu Yi pondered. After a long time, I decided to buy a bunch of books on medicinal properties and pharmacology in the imperial capital and study it myself.
If you want to become an alchemist, you must first be familiar with the pharmacology and medicinal properties of various medicinal materials.
Otherwise, if you don’t understand the pharmacology and medicinal properties of medicinal materials, you will be confused and unable to start when refining medicine.
Forcing medicinal materials to refine elixirs will result in a horribly low elixir yield rate.
This is also the only path for an alchemist apprentice.
This type of books on pharmacology and medicinal properties, unlike high-grade elixir prescriptions, are not expensive and can be easily purchased near the Alchemist Guild.
Because in addition to alchemists, Dou Qi Continent also has 'doctors' who treat people on weekdays. Their knowledge of the medicinal properties and pharmacology of various medicinal materials is no worse than some low-level alchemists.
It is just because their souls do not have fire or wood attributes, or their soul perception is not high, etc., that they cannot become alchemists.
In addition to the books on Dou Qi Continent, Gu Yi also returned to Yunhai Sect and collected some related books in the sect.
For the next time, Gu Yidu stayed in the inn in Jia Ma Imperial Capital, studying the contents of these medicinal and medical books without sleep or food.
Gu Yi was originally from a family of medicinal herbs. There were simple medicinal books at home, and he had been collecting medicinal herbs to support himself since he was three years old.
Therefore, he has had some experience in pharmacology since he was a child.
Furthermore, Gu Yi's understanding and wisdom have been improved many times and have reached an extremely high level. Photographic memory is a basic ability.
Even without the need for [Enlightenment], in just a few days, Gu Yi had firmly memorized the contents of hundreds of different medicinal and medical books in his heart, and broke them open and crushed them to understand.
Even though the various medicinal materials in Jiuxiao Continent and Douluo Continent are not the same, and the contents recorded in medical books and medicine books have great potential, some medicinal materials have similar medicinal properties and can be used as elixirs. , substitute medicinal materials for prescriptions.
With two confirmations, Gu Yi's attainments in pharmacology continued to improve, and soon he was no worse than an ordinary first-grade alchemist.
Enough with theory, the next step is practice.
For this reason, Guyi specifically asked for three low-grade yellow-grade elixir prescriptions from his master ‘Beilao’.
——Beilao happens to be one of the alchemists of Yunhai Sect.
As the guardian of the sect, Beilao has lived too long, and his martial arts potential has basically come to an end, and his strength has not improved for decades.
So Beilao began to study alchemy and spent a long time becoming an alchemist.
However, his alchemy skills are not high, and he only reaches the top level yellow level. He can refine some low-level elixirs such as 'Guiyuan Pill', 'Puiyuan Pill', and 'Zhuyan Pill' that are needed by Qi Martial Realm warriors.
As for the elixir required by the Lingwu Realm, even if he is a strong person in the Xuanwu Realm, he does not have the ability to refine it.
When I learned that Gu Yi wanted to learn alchemy and become an alchemist.
Beilao was a little surprised and persuaded Gu Yi to focus all his energy on martial arts practice.
Although alchemy is good, it is only a side path after all.
The most taboo in martial arts is half-heartedness. Once the energy is distracted, nothing can be done well.
Beilao didn't want Gu Yi, a martial arts genius, to waste his martial arts talent because he focused part of his energy on alchemy.
But Gu Yi proved with facts that his talent in alchemy was no weaker than his talent in martial arts.
