Chapter 3: Chapter 4
After a while, Lin Feng had successfully practiced the technique, and his mind was gradually sinking into his body.
Suddenly, the complicated and almost terrifying image of the meridians appeared in his mind.
He controlled his mind to quickly shuttle through several meridians, and then quickly arrived above the cyclone in his lower abdomen.
Now, the area his Dou Qi cyclone can accommodate is several times wider than before he practiced the technique.
Moreover, the scarlet Dou Qi flowing in it was obviously of a much higher quality than the attributeless Dou Qi he had before practicing the technique.
His mind moved slightly, and a wisp of red fighting spirit suddenly flowed out from the cyclone, and then quickly flowed along the meridians.
As the fighting spirit began to flow, Lin Feng could clearly feel that the powerful force within his body was gradually rising to a peak that had never been reached before.
Slowly opening his eyes, a smile appeared on Lin Feng's face.
With the speed of his training after changing his technique, he would be able to be promoted to a two-star fighter in a month at most.
After practicing the skills, Lin Feng immediately stood up and rode his horse straight towards Black Rock City.
He didn't want to stay in Wutan City anymore, and Qingshan Town was too barren, so Black Rock City was a good place.
Moreover, due to the existence of the Alchemist Guild in Black Rock City, there are a large number of alchemists in the city, and he can easily buy the medicinal materials he needs to learn alchemy.
Black Rock City is a large city located in the eastern province of the Gama Empire. Its scale is even more magnificent than that of Wutan City.
In terms of overall strength, it ranks among the best among all the large cities in the Gama Empire.
Lin Feng looked at the huge city reflecting a light red glow under the afterglow of the setting sun and breathed a sigh of relief.
These days of living in the wild have caused him a lot of hardship.
As he got closer, Lin Feng discovered that the huge city wall was actually forty or fifty meters high.
Compared with the city wall of Wutan City, it was more than twice as high, and the entire wall was built entirely of neatly-arranged black rocks, which shocked him greatly.
After arriving at the city gate and paying the tax, I was allowed in smoothly through the somewhat dark passage through the city wall.
After a moment, his vision suddenly became clear, and the noisy voices of people filled his ears, making Lin Feng's head swell slightly.
Arriving in the city, Lin Feng discovered that Black Rock City was indeed one of the top cities in the Gama Empire. Although it was already dusk, the streets were still bustling with people.
And occasionally, there would be the sound of guards marching in an orderly manner, and the neat sound of armor colliding with each other would scare off some people with ulterior motives.
Lin Feng wandered around the street for a while until it became dark, then he casually walked into an inn, rented a room, and began to study the alchemist book he got from Liu Xina's ring.
Early in the morning, Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the bed in the inn room, with his hands clasped and his eyes closed. Under the guidance of the martial arts, the fighting spirit around his body also flowed into his meridians.
After following for an unknown amount of time, a muffled sound came from Lin Feng's body, as if he had broken through some obstacle, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
"As a two-star fighter, I can almost practice alchemy." Lin Feng murmured.
He had been studying introductory books on alchemy every day for the past month, and now he was itching to try his hand at it himself.
After washing up, he left the inn and headed towards the Alchemist Guild in Black Rock City.
He had inquired before and learned that as long as you pass the test of the Alchemist Union and prove that you have the talent to become an alchemist, you will be issued a certificate as an alchemist apprentice.
With this certificate, not only can one enter and exit the Alchemist Guild freely, but one can also rent the alchemy room of the Pharmacist Guild.
Of course, this requires paying rent, three hundred gold coins per day.
But that is the Alchemist Guild, a practice place built specifically for alchemist apprentices, which can ensure that the alchemist apprentices will not be disturbed while refining medicine.
At the same time, it can also cover up the noise made during the medicine refining process.
After turning a few long streets, Lin Feng slowly stopped after a while and looked up at the majestic building that appeared in front of him.
This house has a very unique shape, and its overall appearance roughly resembles a medicine cauldron.
Around the house, there are windows that look like the fire holes in a medicine cauldron. Above the high roof, a huge cauldron lid crawls down, covering the room underneath.
Looking outside the building, on the lavender sandalwood plaque, there were five words written in faintly blurred ancient fonts, flashing a faint light.
"Alchemist Guild!"
He murmured something softly and then walked inside.
As he approached the door, two heavily armed men reached out to stop him, saying in a buzzing voice, "Little brother, this is the Alchemist Guild. Do you want to go in? Do you have a letter of introduction from your mentor?"
Lin Feng bowed and said: "Two brothers, I'm here to apply for the alchemist apprentice certificate." "Apply for the alchemist apprentice certificate? Then you should test your fighting spirit attributes first." Hearing this, one of the sturdy men skillfully took out a crystal ball and handed it to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng stepped forward to take the crystal ball and injected his fighting spirit into it. As expected, the crystal ball burst out with a blazing red light with a hint of green.
"My little brother, you can go in." Seeing the reaction of the crystal ball, the sturdy man said with a hint of flattery in his tone.
"Thank you." Then Lin Feng slowly walked in.
When you enter the Alchemist Guild, a faint aroma of medicine hits you in the face, making you feel relaxed and happy.
There were not many people inside the hall, only a few were quietly doing their own things.
As if they heard footsteps, some people raised their heads, glanced at Lin Feng, and then went back to their own work.
At this time, a woman in a light blue dress hurriedly walked out from a backstage and walked quickly towards Lin Feng.
"Sir, you look unfamiliar. This should be your first time visiting the Alchemist Guild in Black Rock City, right?"
The woman in green came up to Lin Feng with a smile, glanced around with her beautiful eyes, and asked with a smile.
"Yeah." After taking a look at the green-clothed woman in front of him, whose bright eyes and white teeth made her look quite lovable, Lin Feng smiled and said, "It is indeed my first time here. I came here to apply for the alchemist apprentice certificate."
"Please come this way." Upon hearing this, the woman in green showed a little more respect on her pretty face. She took a few steps back, came to the counter, and smiled at Lin Feng.
Taking out a piece of yellowed parchment from the counter, the woman in green held the pen in her elegant hand, looked up at Lin Feng and smiled, "Sir, please tell me your name, age, and the name of your instructor. Yahan needs to register for you."
Lin Feng added two years to his age and said, "Lin Feng, I am seventeen years old, and I don't have a mentor yet."
"No mentor? Well. OK." The woman named Ya Han wrote it down on a piece of paper, took out a medal from the counter, operated it, and then handed it to Lin Feng together with a form.
"You just need to take these two to Master Ultra inside for a test. Once you pass, the master will do special processing on the medal. This way, the Alchemist Guilds of the Gama Empire will be able to read your identity information through this badge."
After expressing his gratitude, Lin Feng followed the instructions and came to an old man, handing over the two items that Ya Han had just given him.
"Put your hand on it and try it."
The old man called Master Otto pointed to the crystal ball on the left side of the wooden table in front of him.
Hearing this, Lin Feng stepped forward, placed his hand on the crystal ball, and injected his fighting spirit into it.
When he saw that the fighting spirit attributes matched, Master Otto nodded and continued, "Put your hand on another crystal ball that tests soul perception and see."
Lin Feng did as he was told. The difference from the previous time was that this time the crystal ball emitted a black light, which looked quite strange.
Seeing this, Master Ott took the alchemist apprentice's medal and operated it again, then threw it to Lin Feng and said, "It's done."
After obtaining the Alchemist Apprentice Badge, Lin Feng quickly rented an alchemy room here.
Entering an alchemy room, Lin Feng found it empty, with nothing in it. However, when he saw that the surrounding walls were made of black rocks, he couldn't help but sigh at the wealth of the Alchemist Guild.
Legend has it that this black rock can withstand Dou Wang-level attacks. If used to build an alchemy room, it can absorb the energy released during alchemy and prevent the energy from leaking out. However, the price is also extremely expensive.
After observing the environment, Lin Feng adjusted his state and wiped the ring. A large tripod instantly appeared on the ground in front of him.
The entire body of this medicine cauldron is dark red in color, with a slight hint of light on it. At the bottom of the cauldron, there are two ferocious snake heads carved with wide-open mouths, forming two fire holes connected to each other.
The hole is full of curves, and the deeper you go inside, the smaller the diameter becomes. At a glance, it seems to contain a mystery. This is the fire hole of the medicine cauldron, and it is also what distinguishes the grades of medicine cauldrons.
The medicine cauldron in front of Lin Feng has two fire mouths, which is called a two-mouth medicine cauldron, and is the lowest level medicine cauldron.
Generally speaking, the more fire holes a cauldron has, the more advanced and rarer the cauldron is. However, if one wants to control multiple fire holes, one needs a stronger soul perception.
Of course, this kind of crater is not made by simply drilling a few holes. The mystery inside is difficult for an outsider to discover.
The fire mouth is the essence of the medicine cauldron and requires high-precision polishing. During the manufacturing process, if there is even the slightest mistake, the entire medicine cauldron will become a failure.
At the top of the medicine cauldron, a giant snake is coiled into a dark red lid. There is a special hole in the lid, which is the place for putting in medicinal materials.
There are some fine holes made of ice silver scattered on the lid of the tripod, which can dissipate heat and prevent the furnace from exploding due to high temperature.
In the middle of the medicine cauldron, there is a transparent mirror made of ice essence. From here, one can clearly see everything that happens inside while refining the medicine.
The surface of the medicine cauldron is painted with magnificent carvings of magical beasts, which are lifelike and look like living creatures.
