Chapter 72 Stunned
Lu Shi would naturally not give up this opportunity. Although Fatty Chen in front of him had never refined a high-quality elixir, in Lu Shi's opinion, his alchemy skills were definitely not too bad.
There are only one thousand and five spiritual stones on the left and right, divided into three years, so Lu Shi is very confident.
If it is true that the elixir cannot be refined after three chances, it will only be two hundred spiritual stones. Lu Shi can take it out now, so he is not afraid.
"Okay, it's settled, you come with me."
After saying that, Fatty Chen stopped setting up the stall and put the items on the stall directly into the storage bag before getting up and leaving.
"Fat Chen, are you serious?"
But Lao Liu's eyes widened and he was very surprised.
"What, you think I'm joking with you?"
Fatty Chen's expression remained normal. He stood up and patted Lu Shi's shoulder, and then said to Old Liu, "Liu Yaozi, it's time to find a few successors for your talisman-making skills."
"Heh, I'm not the same as you."
Lao Liu shook his head directly.
"let's go."
Fatty Chen didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of the trading area.
Lu Shi gave Old Liu a slight salute, and then hurriedly followed him.
After the two people left, Lao Liu frowned and looked at the retreating figures of the two people, wondering what he was thinking about.
Lao Chen's residence is on the other side of Luojia Xianfang. It is a small single-family courtyard with a good environment. You need to use a waistband as an access control to enter and exit, and there is a small array inside for protection.
However, Lu Shi's vision was limited and he couldn't see clearly for now. After entering it with Lao Chen, Lu Shi was led into a large room.
"This is the alchemy room. If you want to become an alchemist, you'd better prepare an alchemy furnace in advance. However, in your current situation, if you want to buy an alchemy furnace, you are still unable to do so. I suggest you go to the alchemy house. It’s not expensive to rent over there.”
"Junior, remember." Lu Shi nodded.
Lao Chen asked again: "Then you want to start trying to make alchemy now?"
"Yes! Junior is ready."
Lu Shi acted impatiently, which was completely in line with his current status.
"it is good."
Lao Chen didn't talk nonsense. He patted his hand on the storage bag and took out a few things and placed them on the table in front of the two of them.
"I'll teach you how to make the health elixir first, but before that, you need to learn the fire control technique."
While he was talking, Lao Chen had an exercise booklet in his hand and threw it to Lu Shi.
"The Fire Control Technique is the art of controlling fire. The fire it controls is ordinary fire, which is a common fire in the world. It can be used for refining elixirs, refining weapons and fending off enemies. However, ordinary fire is not as good as it is, even if it is used for refining elixirs and weapons. Weapon refining can only refine first-level elixirs and magical weapons at most. If you want to refine better elixirs and magical weapons, you need to find a way to control real fire, but that level of fire control techniques It’s not something that casual cultivators like you and me can find.”
Lu Shi took it, but did not open it immediately, but asked: "What is true fire?"
Lao Chen replied: "True fire is the fire of true essence. It is a special flame made by burning one's own true essence. It is far beyond the comparison of ordinary fire. For example, the fire control art I gave you is just a fire that is released with true essence." The ordinary fire that comes out is a kind of magic, but the real fire is almost magical, and the two are incomparable."
"I see." Lu Shi nodded.
"You should learn it first and learn it as soon as possible."
"Yes."
Lu Shi came to the futon nearby and sat down. He opened the booklet on the Fire Control Technique in his hand and began to read it carefully. Looking at Lao Chen's appearance, it seemed that he was not worried at all about whether he could learn it in a short time.
Perhaps this was also a test given by Lao Chen to Lu Shi.
On Lao Chen's side, he began to place the materials needed for alchemy into categories, and then went to sit down cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, closing his eyes and regulating his breath.
Time passed, and after a stick of incense, Lu Shi put down the exercise booklet and closed his eyes.
Lu Shi had memorized the entire Fire Control Technique, and understood everything involved in it. Then he saw Lu Shi making the secret with one hand and began to mobilize his own true energy.
The Fire Control Technique is not difficult. To put it bluntly, it uses true energy to cast the flame technique. It is not essentially different from the "Spring Breeze Transforms Rain Technique" that Lu Shi learned, so it is naturally not difficult for Lu Shi to learn it.
puff!
With a soft sound, a flame appeared in front of Lu Shi, about the size of a fist, hanging two feet in front of him, burning slowly.
This is ordinary fire, controlled by true energy, nothing special.
However, this scene still attracted Fatty Chen's attention, but he did not disturb him, but nodded slightly, which was considered satisfactory.
Then he saw the magic technique in Lu Shi's hand change, and the flame suddenly grew stronger. In an instant, it became the size of a washbasin and burned fiercely.
Feeling the consumption of his own real energy, Lu Shi opened his eyes, looked at the huge fireball in front of him, and smiled.
The spell changed again, and the fireball split into two, trembling but not disintegrating.
The method changed again, the fireballs were divided from two to four, and then from four to eight, but after being divided into the twelfth one from eight to sixteen, all the fireballs exploded with a bang, and then disappeared.
Lu Shi shook his head slightly when he saw this, not particularly satisfied.
But he didn't see the ghostly expression on Fatty Chen's side.
The Fire Control Technique is not difficult. Even a person with poor qualifications can almost master it after practicing hard for a long time. But what Lu Shi did was not that simple. It required extremely fine control, and it also required a monk's profound spiritual awareness.
In other words, the higher the monk's potential in terms of soul, the better the effect of this type of surprise operation. This is already recognized in the cultivation world.
Lu Shi's performance was more than just a matter of high potential. Lao Chen had never seen anyone who could do this step the first time he tried the Fire Control Technique, and did it so easily.
Looking at Lu Shi's expression as usual, without any sign of reluctance, as if all this was normal, we knew that Lu Shi didn't find this method difficult.
Turning to look at Fatty Chen, the latter looked back belatedly, but he still couldn't help but look at Lu Shi a few more times.
"What's wrong, Senior Chen?"
Lu Shi was confused.
call!
Fatty Chen exhaled, shook his head, and then stood up.
"It's nothing. Seeing that you have mastered the fire control technique well, then come with me to sort out the medicine."
"Yes!"
The two came to the table. Lu Shi handed over the Fire Control Technique, but Fatty Chen waved his hand.
"You can keep it yourself."
After speaking, Fatty Chen continued: "Although the health-preserving pill is not of the highest quality, it is also a good healing medicine. After taking it, ordinary trauma can be cured within seven days. For Qi refining and casual cultivators like you and me, it is already a good medicine." It’s not bad, usually three of them can be sold for one spiritual stone.”
He pointed to the things on the table and said: "There are seven kinds of medicine in the health pill. It needs to be carefully checked before refining to make sure there are no mistakes. It should be noted that even a little bit of mud on the medicine may affect the efficacy of the medicine, and even Affects the probability of becoming a pill."
After saying that, Lao Chen taught Lu Shi how to check the medicine. The whole process was to remove the bad parts of the medicine, leaving only the essence.
After a while, Lao Chen said: "Did you remember it?"
"Yeah, remember."
"Then try it."
Lao Chen took out Qiwei's old medicines and put them on the table, and put away the ones he had already sorted.
Lu Shi stepped forward and started to deal with it one by one according to the steps taught by Old Chen just now, and there was no mistake at all.
This point didn't give Lao Chen much thought. This process can basically be done if you take it seriously, so it's nothing.
"Okay, please keep this material, and then you can see how I refine the health elixir."
As he spoke, Lao Chen came to the elixir furnace, put the prepared medicine into the elixir furnace, then slapped the furnace body with both palms, and a flame suddenly ignited in the furnace.
"This is the fire refining method, and there is also the water refining method, but that is a refining method, which is different from the fire refining method, while the fire refining method is a tempering method, please take good care of it."
Then they saw the flames in the furnace rolling around, wrapping the seven medicinal herbs, and actually burning them into concoction bit by bit instead of ashes. This clearly shows how powerful Chen Fatty's fire control is.
"The temperature needs to be controlled well. This is a slow fire, used to refine the essence of the medicine..."
As Fatty Chen explained, Lu Shi's attention sank into the furnace, carefully observing the changes in the medicine, and gradually he got some clues.
