Chapter 367 Alchemy Technique
Deadwood didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
Originally, Ye Wutian was worried about the fact that the elixir was about to be used up, but now Kumu said that he would teach him the art of alchemy, which just solved his urgent need.
"The most important things in alchemy are the heat, the order of the medicine, the dosage and the refining time. No matter what the refining method is, these four elements must be met."
"Senior Kumu, are there many ways to make alchemy?" Ye Wutian asked doubtfully.
"Yes, alchemy is also divided into factions. Different factions have different methods of alchemy, and the success rate and quality of the elixirs are also different." Kumu said.
"What faction do you belong to, Senior Kumu?" Ye Wutian asked.
"I am old and have no sects and no ties. If I insist on distinguishing them, they are at best scattered sects." Kumu replied.
Ye Wutian nodded and said respectfully: "Then please give me some generous advice, senior."
Kumu continued to explain: "In addition to the four major elements of alchemy mentioned before, there are many factors that will also have a certain impact on the alchemy process, such as the choice of the alchemy furnace, the refiner's cultivation, and even
It’s the quality and formula of the spiritual material.”
"Senior Kumu, is this alchemy furnace also divided into good and bad?" Ye Wutian was a little confused. In his opinion, no matter how good or bad it is, it is just a lump of iron. Apart from being used to hold spiritual materials, it has no other purpose.
He used it.
Kumu explained carefully: "Alchemy furnaces also have qualities. According to their quality, they are divided into four levels from high to low: fine, high-grade, medium, and low. The quality of the alchemy furnace will be determined to a certain extent.
It affects the success rate of alchemy and the quality of the elixir. Of course, these external aids are only to make up for the lack of one's own skills. As long as one's own skills are excellent, even using a low-grade alchemy furnace can still refine high-quality elixirs."
"So, there are differences in quality among the same elixirs?" He had taken a lot of elixirs when he was training with his master, but Ye Wutian didn't know that these elixirs also had differences in quality.
"Elixirs, like alchemy furnaces, are divided into four grades according to their quality. From high to low, they are: fine, top, medium, and low. The higher the quality, the stronger the effect." Kumu explained.
"Senior Kumu, does the quality of fire also affect the quality of the elixir?" Ye Wutian asked casually.
Kumu shook his head and said: "Alchemy in the cultivation world is different from secular alchemy. The secular world uses ordinary fire, but the cultivation world uses spiritual fire."
"Spirit fire? Where does it come from?" Ye Wutian asked in surprise.
"No matter what the quality of the alchemy furnace is, it is a fire-based treasure. The alchemist only needs to inject true energy into it, and the alchemy furnace will naturally generate spiritual fire." Kumu replied.
Ye Wutian immediately understood that this was like the red flame sword on his back. As long as he injected true energy into it, the fire power in the sword would be stimulated and flames would be generated. The same must be true for the alchemy furnace.
"In this case, the value of the alchemy furnace should be very expensive, right? And only those with a level of cultivation above the realm can operate this alchemy furnace."
"The price of an alchemy furnace is far more expensive than ordinary treasures. As you said, alchemists are all powerful people whose cultivation is above the earth level." Kumu said.
"So, Senior Kumu, where should I buy this alchemy furnace?" Although this question is a bit silly, Ye Wutian felt that it was still necessary to find out. Otherwise, learning alchemy would be useless without an alchemy furnace.
"There will be alchemy furnaces for sale at every major trade fair."
"Then why didn't I see anyone selling alchemy furnaces at the last martial arts conference?" Ye Wutian asked doubtfully.
"It was just a small-scale trade fair, and only some low-level monks participated. Naturally, there would be no alchemy furnaces for sale."
"That's still small? Is there a larger one?" Ye Wutian asked in surprise. In his opinion, the scale of the last spiritual materials trade fair was already extremely grand.
Kumu said seriously: "This martial arts world is by no means as simple as what you see now. To be precise, you are still outside the martial arts world."
"Outside the martial arts world? Senior Kumu, what is the inner world like in the martial arts world?" Ye Wutian asked curiously.
"It's better for you to explore step by step." Kumu said.
Ye Wutian didn't ask any more questions, and then Kumu taught him the art of alchemy.
Alchemy is the same as medicine, the most important thing is not theoretical knowledge, but practical experience.
Ye Wutian listened attentively. He was completely immersed in the academic study of alchemy, and he even forgot about time and himself.
After a long time.
"This is all I can teach you. Next, you have to slowly explore on your own." As he said that, Kumu took out an old book and a palm-sized alchemy furnace from a cloth bag behind him.
, handed it to Ye Wutian and said: "This book records various kinds of pills.
The formula of the medicine, the refining steps, and some old experience, these are all unique secret recipes, please remember not to spread them to others. This alchemy furnace is only of low quality. Beginners should keep their feet on the ground and abandon the influence of external factors.
Only in this way can we learn truly superb techniques.”
"This junior will follow the teachings of our seniors." Ye Wutian stretched out his hands and respectfully received the book and the alchemy furnace.
Kumu then reminded: "When you first start trying, you can go to the drugstore to buy some low-level spiritual materials and refine some ordinary disease-repelling elixirs."
"Yes." Ye Wutian agreed, and then asked doubtfully: "Senior Kumu, do you have to enter this place every time?"
"Of course not, you come with me." Kumu said, then stood up and walked out the door, Ye Wutian followed closely.
Under the leadership of Kumu, Ye Wutian returned to the small room where he came in just now.
Without saying a word, Kumu walked directly towards the wall on the right, and finally the whole person sank into the wall and disappeared.
Ye Wutian understood immediately, and he also walked towards the wall. As his head felt dizzy, the surrounding environment had changed.
This is an extremely remote valley, with a steep cliff behind it and towering mountains all around. The valley is filled with knee-high weeds and all kinds of miscellaneous trees.
Ye Wutian looked around, but there was no sign of Dead Tree. Just as he was about to shout, Dead Tree's voice rang in his ears: "Heaven will assign great responsibilities to this people. Young people, practice hard. One day, there will be arduous and important tasks."
Entrusted to you."
It was obvious that the dead wood had gone away, and this voice was sent by him through the soul transmission.
"Senior, I have nothing I can do to repay you. I can only express my gratitude by ringing my head three times." Ye Wutian shouted loudly, and then he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times.
The sound of dead wood no longer sounded, he seemed to have gone far away, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to see him again in the future.
Ye Wutian felt a little regretful about Kumu's sudden departure, because he still had many things to ask Kumu about, such as the matter of the elixir last time, the cave under Mount Tai, and of course Gu Jianfei
Leave it to yourself.
Ye Wutian stood up, sighed regretfully, and then turned back to look at the cliff behind him. Obviously, this cliff was the entrance to the spiritual formation, just like the cave under Mount Tai.
Ye Wutian walked to the cliff and reached out to touch the cliff. The moment his fingers touched the cliff, his whole body was sucked in.
Returning to the underground spiritual crystal cave again, Ye Wutian inspected all the rooms. A total of more than ten rooms were dug out in this space, ranging in size from large to small, but all of the rooms were empty.
After browsing for a while, he left the cave and returned to the valley.
Walking along the passage of the valley, Ye Wutian quickly found the valley where the Ma family lived.
When Ye Wutian sneaked into the valley, he found that the valley had long been deserted, leaving only the empty wooden houses.
You don't need to think about it to know that these Ma family members were afraid that they would come back for revenge, so they moved their families. Most of them probably went to Wanjia.
"It seems that Jiuzhi and the others must have been captured and taken to the Wanjia." Ye Wutian frowned and murmured. Judging from the information provided by Wan Jiangming last time, there are at least two heavenly realm experts in the Wanjia.
, so it is almost impossible to sneak into Wanjia to save people.
After pondering for a long time, Ye Wutian secretly made a decision, and then he quickly left the valley.
After returning to Nanling, he first went to Wanjia Hotel to find Gu Jianfei and his party.
"Brother Ye, you are looking for me today. Could it be that you have found the senior?" Gu Jianfei asked excitedly when he saw Ye Wutian.
Ye Wutian sighed and apologized: "I did see him today, but he left before I had time to mention Brother Gu to him. I'm afraid he has already left Jiangling."
Hearing Ye Wutian's words, Gu Jianfei felt regretful, but he still said gratefully: "Ye Wutian doesn't have to blame himself. This old man has always been a miraculous person, so it's reasonable for you to fail to keep him."
, No matter what, I still have to thank Brother Ye for his help."
"I haven't been able to help you at all. If Brother Gu thanks me again, I'll feel ashamed." Ye Wutian smiled awkwardly, and then said: "With Brother Gu's strength, even if he has never stepped into the realm,
If you're dealing with an opponent in the early stages of a normal terrain, you should still have a good chance of winning."
"I hope so." Gu Jianfei nodded helplessly.
Ye Wutian smiled and changed the topic and said, "Brother Gu, are you coming to Jiangling? Why don't you stay and play for a few more days so that I can fulfill my duty as a landlord?"
Gu Jianfei shook his head and declined: "Brother Ye has accepted your wish. Now that the Shennong Secret Realm is about to open, I have to go back and make good preparations, so I will stay soon and I will visit you next time if I have a chance."
"In that case, I won't stay any longer. Please inform me first when you come next time." Ye Wutian said politely.
"No problem. Then Brother Ye, you can go and do your work. I'll go back and pack up and leave."
"Okay, Brother Gu, see you later."
"See you later."
After leaving Daqin Hotel, Ye Wutian hurried back to the villa.
In order to avoid everyone worrying, he did not tell Xu Ziteng about Jiuzhi and others, nor did he reveal anything to the girls at home.
