Chapter 18 The eldest lady of the Lin family
After testing the spiritual roots, the steward took Zhou Xun and others to get familiar with the entire Danbao Pavilion, then talked about the arrangements for the next month and left.
The thirty of them were assigned to an alchemy room in pairs.
The alchemy room is not big, only two or three feet in diameter.
There is an alchemy furnace in the middle, and there is an underground fire under the alchemy furnace
It was Wang Erniu who shared the alchemy room with Zhou Xun.
Wang Erniu was taken away by Lin Zhishan before and went to see Master Yunku.
Master Yunku personally re-measured Wang Erniu’s spiritual root. After confirming that it was correct, he wanted to accept him as his disciple on the spot.
Wang Erniu made a mistake. He claimed that he already had a master and would not seek another master.
Master Yunku naturally would not force anyone to do anything, so he sent him back.
After returning, Wang Erniu told Zhou Xun his experience.
Hearing that Wang Erniu rejected Master Yunku, Zhou Xun admired Wang Erniu's deep friendship, but also regretted that he gave up such an opportunity.
Wang Erniu didn't care.
"I was just a herding cow in a mountain village, but I am very satisfied to become an immortal cultivator!"
The alchemy room is lined with classics.
They are all introductions to various alchemy materials in the world of immortality.
There is even a basic elixir - Bigu elixir prescription.
Zhou Xun looked at the thick classics in his hand and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He never expected that the prescription would be such a thick book. In his impression, the prescription should be a simple piece of paper.
Only when he opened it and took a look did he understand.
It turns out that this classic records several refining methods of Bigu Pill.
Includes all problems encountered during the refining process, as well as various solutions.
It can be said that after reading this book thoroughly, you will be familiar with the refining of Bigu Pill, and then you can practice it in practice.
As for that piece of paper, it is just the formula of the elixir. As for the refining method of the elixir required for the formula, various precautions, and solutions to problems that arise during the refining process, There won't be any above.
Only a true elixir master can refine elixirs with a simple formula.
Zhou Xun quickly understood this truth.
In my previous life, I had never heard of anyone making a product just by looking at the ingredient list.
On the first day, there were no tasks arranged, it was just to familiarize them with Danbao Pavilion.
Zhou Xun simply stayed in the alchemy room and looked through various classics. He had never been exposed to alchemy before.
Fortunately, he has now awakened his spiritual consciousness and has the ability to have a photographic memory.
Learning is much easier.
Zhou Xun was concentrating on reading the classics when there was a sudden knock on the door.
Wang Erniu quickly stood up and opened the door!
It was the manager Lin.
When Manager Lin saw Wang Erniu opening the door, he was startled for a moment, then immediately showed a kind smile:
"It's Erniu, you're assigned here too!"
"I've seen Manager Lin, what can I do for you, Manager?" Wang Erniu bowed first and then asked with some doubts.
“Come and see you and Nephew Zhou Xian!” Manager Lin’s face was kind, like the uncle next door.
Zhou Xun also heard the sound and came out, stepped forward and gave a salute.
“I’ve met Manager Lin!”
"Well, it seems that what I said that day was indeed right. You were indeed selected!" Manager Lin showed a satisfied look.
He thought Zhou Xun didn't know what he was doing, and came here specifically to show his face to Zhou Xun.
Seeing this, Zhou Xun sneered in his heart, but still looked grateful on the outside.
“I have to thank Manager Lin for this!”
Hearing this, Manager Lin laughed and seemed to have achieved his goal. He waved his hand and said:
"I just made a recommendation. The real decision is made by Master Yunku! Oh, by the way, I have an alchemy manual here. You can study it carefully on weekdays and become a real alchemist as soon as possible!"
Guanshi Lin As he spoke, he took out a booklet from his storage bag and handed it to Zhou Xun.
"Thank you, Manager Lin!" Zhou Xun saluted again.
"Okay, study hard!" After saying that, Manager Lin was in a happy mood and left with his hands behind his back.
“Guanshi Lin is such a good person!” Wang Erniu sighed.
"Yes, he is a good man!" Zhou Xun nodded, with a strange look in his eyes.
It was not until night that Zhou Xun left Danbao Pavilion and returned home.
The Alchemy Pavilion does not have a place for quasi-alchemy apprentices like them to live, and the alchemy room is only for them to learn alchemy.
The next day, Zhou Xun arrived at Danbao Pavilion early.
Today, he will learn the first lesson and learn about alchemy for the first time.
The class is held in a large hall.
The main hall covers an area of tens of feet, with a high platform in the middle.
There are 30 futons neatly placed around, just for their use.
At three quarters of the hour, everyone is here. Zhou Xun arrived early and chose a location near the high platform.
Having attended school in his previous life, he knew that good students were always close to the podium.
The time has come.
A slim figure walked in from outside the hall.
Everyone looked over.
She is a girl as gentle as jade, with dark eyebrows like distant mountains, and a snowy face like a lotus.
Long skirt and shoes, starry eyes and white teeth, elegant and refined.
Everyone was stunned. They had never seen such a woman with such an excellent appearance and temperament.
Wang Erniu's face turned red even more, and he didn't even dare to look at her.
Zhou Xun also felt a sense of surprise.
Even though he had seen many beauties in his previous life, he had to praise this girl for her beauty and refinement.
The woman walked straight past the crowd and floated onto the high platform.
Took out a futon from the storage bag, and then sat down cross-legged.
“The eldest lady of the Lin family, it’s her!”
It seems that someone recognized this woman’s identity.
Miss Lin family, Zhou Xun understood instantly.
The eldest daughter of the Lin family is a well-known person in Hongyefang.
She is the only daughter of Lin Anshuo, the contemporary head of the Lin family.
However, what makes this woman famous is not her identity, but her qualifications for high-grade spiritual roots and her talent in alchemy.
Now that she is only sixteen years old, she is already a master at the fourth level of Qi refining.
At the same time, he is also a first-level mid-level alchemist, and he can be described as a genius.
"Quiet!" A lark-like voice sounded, like the sound of clear spring rocks.
“Today’s first lesson is to demonstrate alchemy, so that you can have a preliminary impression of the art of alchemy!”
The girl looked cold and said simply, from the storage bag He took out an alchemy furnace, silver spiritual charcoal, and a bunch of alchemy materials.
Silver charcoal is refined from first-grade low-grade silver spirit wood.
The spiritual fire ignited by this thing is gentler and easier to control than earth fire. It is the best fire for alchemists to make elixirs.
"What I am refining today is the commonly used elixir during the Qi refining period, the Qi-Entraining Pill!"
As he said this, he placed the silver spirit charcoal under the alchemy furnace.
A magic formula hit the alchemy furnace, and a crimson flame suddenly burst out.
“When refining alchemy, you need to warm the alchemy furnace with spiritual fire!” The girl explained while operating.
After a while, the alchemy furnace was finished heating.
With a gentle wave of his green-white fingers, a blue elixir flew into the alchemy furnace.
"This step is to condense the medicinal liquid. There are many ways to condense the medicinal liquid. Different elixirs need to be condensed in different ways."
Just like this, an hour passed.
Suddenly, a medicinal fragrance rose from the alchemy furnace and filled the entire hall, refreshing people.
The girl's expression moved, and she fired another spell. The lid of the alchemy furnace opened automatically, and twelve round milky white elixirs flew out from it.
Eleven of them are all bright milky white, and only one is dull in color.
The girl frowned slightly, as if she had lost her hand.
“Twelve completed elixirs, eleven genuine and one inferior!”
“The value exceeds four spiritual stones, and the cost will never exceed two spiritual stones. !" Zhou Xun thought to himself.
The profits have more than doubled. No wonder alchemists are said to be the richest group among immortal cultivators.
Everyone in the audience showed envy.
This is exactly what the first lesson aims to achieve.
"Today I demonstrate the art of alchemy. I hope you will practice hard in the future and become a true alchemist as soon as possible!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, put away the alchemy objects, and floated away. Leave.
The next day, it was the same hall, but with an old man explaining the pharmacology of elixirs to them.
This is a senior alchemist in Danbao Pavilion, although he is only a first-level mid-level alchemist.
But Master Lian Yunku also praised his understanding of pharmacology, and Lin Zhishan even felt inferior.
After learning pharmacology, you also need to learn how to process elixirs and how to condense elixirs.
Zhou Xun is also accustomed to the daily alchemy study life.
Two o'clock and one line every day, from home in Luliu Lane to Danbao Pavilion.
In this way, a month passed normally.
On this day, Wang Erniu suddenly found Zhou Xun, with excitement on his face.
“Brother, I’m getting married!”
