Chapter 36 Because I have been exposed to rain, I want to be an umbrella bearer
Since the trouble was solved, Chen Sheng's situation in Yaolu has greatly improved, and everyone he meets shows kindness.
In their view, taking down a Luo Jiaoyuan was nothing, but beating a person into a dead dog without causing trouble by Jia Ping, the elder of the outer sect, was the real skill.
Chen Sheng naturally didn't care about this. He still maintained a calm attitude. He practiced when he needed to practice and worked when he needed to work.
"You kid, you have established yourself in Yaolu."
Xi Fu was not an alchemy fanatic who devoted himself to alchemy. He had already felt that the hustle and bustle lingering around Chen Sheng had settled down.
After this incident, everyone inside and outside knew that there was an extraordinary deacon coming to Chenguang Palace.
Purified, returned again.
"It would have been nothing."
Chen Sheng looked indifferent and did not take Luo Jiaoyuan's matter to heart, but he was very interested in Xi Fu and asked: "Is it difficult to make elixirs?"
Throughout the world of cultivation, elixirs are everywhere, and in some places, elixirs are even used directly as currency.
To outsiders, this is a skill full of mist.
"Disaster."
Xifu would never say that some talented people, who know medicine and refine elixirs, can show their mastery in a few years. That is too rare and unrealistic.
A real alchemist is extremely hardworking. From the preparation of the spiritual herbs to the temperature of the fire, every detail must be grasped. If you are even a little bit off, all your efforts will be wasted.
"Can I learn?"
Chen Sheng's simple question contained another meaning.
Alchemy is an extremely noble position in the world of immortality. The threshold is very high. Without inheritance and guidance from a master, it is impossible to achieve anything.
He needs to find someone to teach him.
"First make the elixir and calm down. Go and pull out the weeds in East Thirteenth District before we start."
Xi Fu glanced at Chen Sheng and nodded slightly. This young man still had some potential as an alchemist.
"I went to pull weeds."
Chen Sheng turned around quickly and left.
Even though he knew that it was good to calm down the mind before refining the elixir, but fixing the mind did not necessarily mean pulling weeds. He could also read through the alchemy book and pharmacology first, and control the fire and distinguish the temperature.
But he still agreed.
The reason is that Xifu did not refuse and gave him a chance. If you are willing to learn, you must be humble and polite.
Behind Yaolu, a large area of spiritual land was opened up, divided into each other with paths and paths, and assigned serial numbers.
East Thirteenth District is one of these areas.
"That's just a weed. It competes with the spiritual grass for nutrients, but has no medicinal properties. It's pure waste."
When Chen Sheng came here, he saw many spiritual grasses planted on the spiritual ground, which exuded spiritual light and looked as crystal clear as jade.
As for those weeds, they are green and slightly larger in size. They try their best to squeeze the spiritual energy around them. They don't emit clouds and have no effect. They are just here to cause trouble.
He squatted down, put his hand on the weed, and pulled it up. The first thing he felt was that it was full of resilience. In order to prevent hurting the roots and branches of the spiritual grass next to it, he did not dare to use too much force, so he could only
Little by little, pull out the weeds.
Facts have proved that pulling weeds is not that easy. You have to squat down, pay attention to every detail, and repeat it over and over again. It is as intense as a small battle.
People with an impetuous mind cannot do this job, but those with a calm mind and tempered nature can indeed do it.
The number of weeds is much less than that of spiritual grass, but it is not that small in such a large area.
"There are so many more, it will take several days."
Chen Sheng shook off the dirt on his hands and looked at the area he had just swept. Compared with the East Thirteenth District, it seemed very small.
some time afterwards.
weed.
weed.
weed.
In the East Thirteenth District, a hard-working figure kept rising and falling, his hands were covered with dirt, and he piled aside the weeds that did not belong here.
"These spiritual herbs are very particular about where they are planted."
As Chen Sheng walked through most of the East Thirteenth District, he gradually discovered that the spiritual land under his feet seemed flat, but in fact it contained a mysterious landscape of mountains, rivers, and seas.
The medicinal properties of each spiritual herb are consistent with the properties of the soil in which they are rooted, and the various spiritual herbs reflect each other, just like a cyclical five elements of heaven and earth, connected and connected.
This spiritual land is alive.
"No, East Thirteenth District is too beautiful. I want to stop and watch more."
The more Chen Sheng looked at it, the more he felt that the East Thirteenth District contained great beauty, flowing with a kind of mystery of alchemy. He lingered among the weeds day and night, feeling the effects of sunlight and moonlight on the spiritual grass, and the influence of the shadow.
The impact of weather and clear weather on this spiritual land.
With his unremitting efforts, the East Thirteenth District has been explored in detail. His goal has changed from pulling out weeds to clarifying the five directions of this land.
Half a month later, Chen Sheng pulled out all the weeds in East Thirteenth District.
His eyes were shining, and his understanding of alchemy was no longer full of poverty, and he also understood why alchemy could become a major school in the world of immortality.
"Alchemy hides eternal life."
When he returned to Chenguang Palace and saw Xi Fu, Chen Sheng said this.
"What"
Xifu was stunned for a moment.
Chen Sheng quickly told Xi Fu what he had observed. The entire East Thirteenth District is a whole. It is alive and can absorb spiritual energy, strengthen itself, and then feed back to the world.
The cycle goes on and on, never stopping.
Changes like this are no different from the practice of human body movement exercises. They can both strengthen oneself and lead to immortality.
"You are serious about weeding."
Xi Fu recognized Chen Sheng, alchemists like them all knew the mysteries of East Thirteenth District, and at the beginning, Elder Yaolu presided over and participated in the entire process.
Chen Sheng obviously had to really pull weeds and measure every inch of the land before he could discover this secret.
No old man would dislike such a young man who is serious about learning. He thought he could teach Mr. Chen something real.
"What else should I do next?"
Chen Sheng has developed a strong interest in the art of alchemy. He knows that he is not qualified to make alchemy now, but he wants to accumulate some knowledge in this area and make plans for the future.
"Identifying Herbs."
Xi Fu saw a familiar feeling from this young man. It was the same enthusiasm he had when he was a teenager, when he first came into contact with Alchemy.
Later, he became an alchemist as he wished, but the process was full of hardships.
Let this young man walk the same old path as before, get bruised all over his body, and then be given alms from above?
Or should we give more support to young people?
A kind look appeared on his old face, and he took out a piece of inheritance jade slip and gave it to Chen Sheng.
Among the jade slips is a "First-Level Spiritual Grass Illustration", which records the growth environment, medicinal properties, names, uses, etc. of many spiritual herbs.
As long as Chen Sheng is familiar with it and can control the fire, he can try to make an elixir.
"Passed."
