Chapter 158: Take the Alchemy Furnace and Make Alchemy Now
?The one who stood up to support Jin Hongze, Li Daoyou in Yan Xinghekou, surnamed Li, surnamed Ziliang, self-named Danlu Zhenren, is the head of the third-rate sect Baicao Sect. Although this Baicao Sect is a third-rate sect, but because the alchemist's status is different from ordinary practitioners, the influence of the sect is no less than that of ordinary second-rate sects.
Now that Li Ziliang has stood up, he will naturally support Jin Hongze to the end. Therefore, after listening to the conversation between Jin Hongze and Ye Zan, he laughed beside him, with a bit of contempt on his face, and said to Yan Xinghe: "Friend Yan Xinghe, your friend is too nonsense, how can the alchemy matter be done casually?" It’s just a joke. I don’t look down on the Foundation Establishment Realm, but you and I should know that it’s absolutely impossible for someone with such a level of cultivation to display the skills of a master.”
Alchemy is not just about technology, no matter how much you know about herbal medicine and how many mysterious techniques you know, if you don't have enough cultivation, you can't use it at all. It's like asking the best racing driver to drive a dilapidated classic car. No matter how good the technology is, it is impossible to drive the effect of a sports car.
Most alchemy masters are in the Nascent Soul Realm. In fact, it is not because they have become alchemy masters that it is easy to step into the Nascent Soul Realm. On the contrary, it is because they stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm and have a stronger cultivation base that it is easier to perform the extremely difficult alchemy method, and it is easier to become a master of alchemy.
Therefore, what Li Ziliang said is not wrong. From ancient times to the present, alchemy masters at the Jindan state have rarely been seen, and alchemy masters at the foundation stage have never appeared.
"What Fellow Daoist Ye said was this Fellow Daoist Liu, you two have misinterpreted it so much, why don't you show some shame!" Yan Xinghe cursed out of anger.
Yan Xinghe said this because he didn't think Ye Zan would be at the level of a master of alchemy. Of course, he didn't mean to have any malice, nor did he mean to look down on Ye Zan, but from his own understanding, he thought that what Ye Zan said must be Liu Gan.
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Yan is the one who misunderstood it! Even if my evil disciple somehow managed to pass the Grandmaster Examination by chance, it is only that he is qualified to sit here. Could it be that you, Fellow Daoist Ye, are willing to give you the gift of a disciple?" , standing behind him?" Jin Hongze said unhurriedly, with a hint of complacency on his face. For Yan Xinghe to lose his composure like this, it means that he has gained the upper hand to a certain extent.
At this moment, Ye Zan spoke again, and interjected: "Hey, you guys are talking about me, so don't ask me for my opinion, is that okay?"
"You?" Jin Hongze looked Ye Zan up and down, smiled extremely disdainfully, and said lightly: "It can be seen from your words that you don't know anything about alchemy. If you are right Dan Dao is interested, so listen to the old man's advice, let's start as an apprentice first, so as not to keep talking nonsense that makes people laugh!"
"Hehe," Ye Zan also laughed, and said indifferently: "It's useless to talk so much, I'm really impatient to argue with people like you, let's see the truth in my hand."
"It's ridiculous,
What qualifications do you have to say such a thing! " Li Ziliang reprimanded in a deep voice beside him.
"Then what qualifications do you have, do you think I'm not qualified?" Ye Zan asked back.
"Okay, since Your Excellency is so confident, I want to see how you can prove that you are qualified to sit here on the same level as me." When Jin Hongze said this, he had already thought about it in his heart. Although the other party seemed to be quite confident, he still believed in his heart that it was absolutely impossible to become a alchemy master with a cultivation base in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
In fact, with Jin Hongze's prudence, he would not take risks if there was even a chance. Just like before, what he did to Liu Gan, whether it was accepting Liu Gan as his apprentice on the surface, or smearing and chasing him down later, all had been considered after many considerations, for fear of causing trouble if he didn't think carefully.
To put it bluntly, this is a suspicious and indecisive personality. If it was replaced by another straightforward person, I am afraid that Liu Gan would have been directly arrested and tortured. Of course, this cannot be said to be a shortcoming, after all, being cautious has its benefits. At least no one knew what happened back then, and Jin Hongze's image was not damaged, which is also the result of caution.
"Don't get me wrong, I was only invited by Brother Yan, don't think I'm willing to sit with you, you don't have that much face." Ye Zan replied unceremoniously, then looked at Yan Xinghe, Said: "Brother Yan, let's talk about what you have to take in this master exam, and how can you be worthy of the title of master."
"Ye Daoyou, you..." Yan Xinghe wanted to persuade Ye Zan to save Ye Zan from making a fool of himself, but before he could say this, he was interrupted by Li Ziliang next to him.
With a sneer on his face, Li Ziliang said to Ye Zan: "Are all the people of Yuqingzong so ignorant of the heights of the sky and the earth? It is really eye-opening to dare to make false claims to be promoted to the master of alchemy without even knowing these common senses. If so, then Let me remind you that it is very easy to pass the Grandmaster Examination, as long as you refine a furnace of elixir with five parts of herbs, but the quality of the elixir must be at least above middle grade, and the quantity should not be less than the normal production of five parts of herbs."
Li Ziliang said it simply, but he played a trick in it, setting the quality of the elixir above the middle grade. One must know that the difficulty of refining this herbal medicine lies in the refining itself. As long as the elixir can be refined in the end, even if it is only a low-grade elixir, it can be regarded as a successful combination.
Therefore, upon hearing this, Yan Xinghe became anxious again. Only senior alchemy masters like them, who have the cultivation base of the Nascent Soul Realm, can keep the quality of the elixir above the middle grade during the herbal medicine refining. And now, the other party actually used this to demand a foundation-builder. Isn't this intentional to make the other party look ugly?
However, Ye Zan raised his hand, stopped Yan Xinghe who was about to speak, and said, "Fellow Daoist Yan, please help me with pill furnace and herbal medicine. I'll come here to try it out, so as not to cause any accidents." Being blind, talking about what is there and what is not.”
In fact, Ye Zan, Liu Gan and others, even if it was because of the Grandmaster Examination, as long as they got off this building, Yan Xinghe would have lost this round. And Ye Zan also saw this point, so he simply asked Yan Xinghe to bring the pill furnace and herbs, and directly refine the pill here.
And Jin Hongze and Li Ziliang really wanted to drive Ye Zan and others downstairs, but Ye Zan's last sentence blocked their words back. At this time, if you ask the other party to go down to make alchemy, then the other party can say: What are your intentions?
Having talked to this point, Yan Xinghe couldn't say anything more, so he turned to his disciple Xun Hongwen and said, "Go, get my pill furnace, and prepare five herbs for Qi Refining Pill."
Yan Xinghe also wanted to play tricks, anyway, the other party only mentioned the quality requirements of the pills, but did not mention the types of pills. Qi Refining Pill is also a elixir, although it is the lowest level of elixir, no one can deny that it is a real elixir. Compared with other elixirs, the refining difficulty of Qi Refining Pills is obviously much lower, and the corresponding refining difficulty will also be reduced a lot.
However, Ye Zan did not intend to take advantage of the other party's loopholes, and directly said to Xun Hongwen who was leaving: "Fellow Daoist Xun, just help me find an ordinary alchemy furnace, and take five herbs for quenching the body and nourishing the spirit." .”
This quenching body nourishing pill is a kind of elixir that is half a level higher than the building foundation pill, and it can be used to temper the body to replenish aptitude. Therefore, the difficulty of refining is naturally higher than that of Foundation Establishment Pill, not to mention the combined refining of five herbs. I am afraid that even if these alchemy masters sitting here can successfully refine, they cannot guarantee the quality of all the pills above middle grade.
Originally, Jin Hongze and Li Ziliang regretted Yan Xinghe's talk about taking the herbal medicine of Qi Refining Pill, and wanted to add a few more words. But who would have imagined that Ye Zan proposed to refine the more difficult body-strengthening and nourishing elixir in spite of himself, and the two of them were relieved.
But then, the two raised their hearts again. Is the other party really confident when he said this, or is he messing around because he doesn't understand?
If it is said that the other party is messing around, but the other party is not a child after all, and also represents Yu Qingzong outside, even if he does not care about his own face, he must always consider the face of the sect.
However, it seems even more absurd to say that it is not about messing around, but about genuine self-confidence. With the other party's foundation-building cultivation base, it is almost impossible to refine it alone, not to mention refining the body-replenishing spirit pill together.
Not only Jin Hongze and Li Ziliang, but also the other two alchemy masters and their respective disciples are actually full of doubts at this time.
Yan Xinghe felt very tired, waved his hand to Xun Hongwen, and said, "Go, do as Daoist Ye said, go and come back quickly."
"Yes, disciple obeys!" Xun Hongwen hurried downstairs and left.
Not long after, Xun Hongwen came back, and when he got upstairs, he took out a pill furnace from the Qiankun ring, and there were five packaged herbal medicines.
This alchemy furnace is not Yan Xinghe's Nine Phoenix Yun Spiritual Furnace, but the same as the one used by everyone below. There is a base under the alchemy furnace, which is used for burning fire. After placing it upstairs, Xun Hongwen poured some red fine sand into it, and the flame burst out immediately.
This crimson fine sand is the crystallization of Earth Fire, which can be reduced to Earth Fire under the excitation of the magic circle in the base. This earth fire crystal is not very precious, it is almost a common thing for every alchemist to make alchemy, and the alchemists below also use this thing.
After the pill stove was ready, Ye Zan came to the pill stove, glanced at the five herbal medicines on the table next to him, and said to Jin Hongze and Li Ziliang, "Both of you, do you want to check this herbal medicine so that you don't have to talk about it later?" Messy excuses."
"Hmph!" Jin Hongze snorted coldly, but still walked over.
Sure enough, he was a cautious person, even though he was very sure in his heart that Ye Zan couldn't have that kind of strength, but Jin Hongze still didn't want to make any omissions. All five packs of herbal medicines were opened and spread out on the table. Jin Hongze looked back and forth, and saw that there was indeed no problem inside, but the doubts in his heart were even greater.
