Chapter 96 Examination and Teaching(1/2)
Mei Xuan was startled at first, and then immediately frowned, and even some displeasure began to flash in his eyes.
This guy is really arrogant! I gave him the "Alchemy Book", the holy book of alchemy, just in the hope that he could wash away the impetuous spirit from his body and truly sink his mind into the way of alchemy! He is very good, not only
If you don’t learn a lesson, you will only get worse!
What can you learn from such a quick glance! With such a character, it was a pity that I valued him just now. I really lost my sight!
Mei Xuan shook his head. He was usually a thoroughly honest person. He was always single-minded in doing things. When it came to alchemy, he was almost following the rules. He was no less generous than those old gentlemen from private schools in ancient times.
So when Mei Xuan saw Su Fei like this, he immediately classified him as hopeless.
Not to mention teaching the method of alchemy, Mei Xuan now wants to go up and grab the "Alchemy Sutra" from Su Fei's hand, because in Mei Xuan's view, Su Fei's method of reading is simply an insult to the "Alchemy Sutra"!
Out of sight, out of mind, Mei Xuan suppressed the anger in his heart. He couldn't chase Su Fei away, so he had to divert his attention and start dealing with the piled documents on the table, but Su Fei's "frivolous" look always lingered in his mind.
Not going made it difficult for him to calm down.
The more this happened, the more irritable Mei Xuan became. He even planned to leave Su Fei here alone and go out to relax.
"Mei Xuan, how did you teach Su Fei?"
Mei Qianli's laughter could be heard outside the door, and then the door was pushed open. Mei Qianli and Qi Ye walked in, talking and laughing.
As soon as Mei Qianli entered the door, she saw Su Fei who was concentrating on "studying" the "Alchemy Sutra" on the sofa. Seeing the seriousness in Su Fei's eyes, Mei Qianli couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Looking at his father's appearance, Mei Xuan felt like he was almost out of breath, but he didn't want to have an attack on the spot, so he took a moment to regain his breath.
"Dad..." Mei Xuan stood up and stepped forward, opening his mouth to say something, but after holding it in for a long time, he still couldn't form a single word.
Mei Qianli looked at Mei Xuan and laughed loudly: "Why, Su Fei's talent is too high to scare you? Why do you look like this!"
After hearing Mei Qianli's words, Mei Xuan suddenly felt like a breath was stuck in his heart, and he couldn't hold it in any longer.
But he was worried about everyone's face, so he still said tactfully: "I feel that Su Fei may not be the material for alchemy. Father, I think... let's forget it."
"Forget it, I think I saw it very well." Su Fei had just absorbed the relevant memories on the previous page, and during the time when his mind was empty, he happened to hear Mei Xuan's words.
Su Fei reluctantly put down the "Alchemy Sutra" in his hand and said with a smile: "I think this "Alchemy Sutra" is really interesting. Many of the things in it can corroborate what I have learned. Brother Mei Xuan,
How did you know that I don't have the talent for alchemy?"
"You..." Mei Xuan originally didn't want to quarrel, but Su Fei's words aroused his anger again. Mei Xuan glanced at the "Alchemy Sutra" Su Fei put aside, and then discovered that Su Fei
Fei had actually read more than a dozen pages, which made him extremely angry!
Originally, I was giving you face, but you are still trying to pretend to me! Well, face is given by others and lost by yourself. Don’t blame me for telling the truth afterwards!
"Alchemy Sutra" is a sacred object in Mei Xuan's heart. Now that Su Fei was "blasphemed" in front of him, he could no longer bear it and roared with suppressed anger: "Su Fei, if you have talent, you can
How can you read the Alchemy Sutra so quickly? Do you know how to read a book like this?"
"The way of alchemy is as vast as the sea of smoke. We have been diligently trying to find out everything in the "Alchemy Sutra". Even every word and sentence in it is just the life-long efforts of those seniors in the way of alchemy in the past. This is how you read the book to me.
Yes? This is your talent! I think this is your talent to brag about!"
Now that it was said, Mei Xuan no longer hid it, turned to look directly at Mei Qianli, pointed at the Dan Sutra in Su Fei's hand and sneered: "Father, you can see for yourself, it has only been just over an hour, he
How many pages have I read! This is not just a quick glance! I have the nerve to say that I am "confirming what I have learned"!"
Mei Xuan pointed at Sophie Fei and said: "I would like to ask you, where did you learn what you "confirmed" and "learned"! Have you really understood it?"
"What I, Mei Xuan, usually hate the most are people who are superficial and show off. People like you are not suitable for learning alchemy. My son Zhenyi does not need a master like you!"
Mei Xuan usually has a gentle temper and rarely gets angry. Now when this honest man gets angry, he really gets angry. His roaring voice immediately attracts the rest of the Mei family. Wang Man quickly squeezes out of the crowd and reaches behind him to gently pull Mei Xuan's clothes.
He raised his hand and signaled him to stop talking.
Su Fei didn't expect that Mei Xuan would be so angry, and he had just heard that Mei Xuan was angry with him just because he was reading too fast? Can you blame me? This is because he was borrowing ""
"Alchemy Classic" fuses memory, merging memory is of course faster!
Su Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she didn't know how to explain it.
Although Master Qi doesn't understand alchemy, there are still many similarities between medicine and alchemy. He understands Mei Xuan, so he just keeps silent next to him.
Mei Qianli understands Mei Xuan's nature, and naturally also knows why Mei Xuan suddenly becomes angry. To be honest, anyone who is an alchemist will inevitably feel angry when he sees a layman like Su Fei wantonly "blaspheming" the holy book of alchemy in his heart.
.
However, Mei Qianli was more experienced than Mei Xuan. He chuckled and said, "Su Fei, look how angry you are at my son. The knowledge in this "Alchemy Book" is obscure and difficult to understand. You should calm down and think more."
, I know you are extremely talented, but just because you can see quickly doesn’t mean you can really understand.”
Su Fei couldn't laugh or cry: "But I really understand. Do you have to pretend that I don't understand? That would be a waste of time."
"Look, look!" Mei Xuan's anger that had just subsided after hearing these words came back up: "Then I ask you, and you say you understand, then I will test you. If you can't answer the question
, never ask me to learn alchemy in front of my Mei family again, do you dare to accept it?"
"Just take the test!" Su Fei's eyes lit up: "But let me tell you first, what if I get the answer right?"
"You can't possibly answer that!"
"Not always."
The two of them were at odds with each other and were completely at odds.
Mei Xuan looked at Su Fei, the old god, and felt angry in his heart. He suddenly burst out: "If you can answer it, then I will accept it. From now on, wherever Su Fei goes, I, Mei Xuan, will stay away. How about that?"
!”
"That's not good. Brother Mei Xuan, you are exaggerating." Su Fei shook his head. He thought for a while and smiled: "Well, if I answer the question, you let me take this set of "Alchemy Sutra" home and study it for a month.
.how?"
"Okay, it's settled!"
The surrounding Meng family members were all stunned. You should know that Mei Xuan was always kind to everyone. This was the first time they saw Mei Xuan look like this today, and they all looked a little frustrated.
Mei Qianli and Qi Ye looked at each other, but neither said a word.
"Dad, Master Qi, you are here to be the notary public! I will only ask three questions, and I will never bully Su Fei. The questions are all about the content in these ten pages!" Mei Xuan ignored Wang Man who was behind him.
He hinted and stretched out his first finger: "First, under what circumstances can the active ingredients in the red azure copper be extracted? This is the content on the third page of the "Alchemy Sutra". You should have read it.
Answer me now."
"You underestimate me too." Su Fei couldn't help but smile: "When using red azure copper, you need to boil it in water for more than half an hour, until its surface is completely converted into azure oxide dodecahydrate.
Use a high-temperature fire to heat to about 1400℃-1580℃, and the outer layer of the magazine will be effectively separated from a very large amount of azure oxide dodecahydrate. After scraping off all the azure oxide dodecahydrate in the outer layer, continue to cook for one hour, and the cycle starts again.
It can completely extract all the active ingredients in red azure copper. I’m right.”
In fact, when Su Fei was just halfway through speaking, Mei Qianli had already confirmed that Su Fei really knew the method of refining the red azure copper. However, these were all things clearly recorded in books, which only meant that Su Fei had a photographic memory.
Forgot, but other than that it doesn’t explain much.
Mei Xuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Su Fei could really say this. But just like Mei Qianli, he only attributed it to Su Fei's photographic memory. Although he was surprised, he didn't notice it.
Too heavy.
"Listen carefully, second question." Mei Xuan raised a second finger: "If purple blue grass and galaxy sand are put together, what kind of reaction will it cause?"
Mei Qianli smiled slightly. This was a test of Su Fei's understanding. Although his book contains detailed information on purple blue grass and galactic sand, it rarely touches on the changes in the two things in alchemy. Because these two things
It is simply a very common medicinal material that every alchemist should know, so it is not discussed in the Alchemy Sutra.
Even so, as long as Su Fei really understands the characteristics of the two, he cannot infer the reaction that will occur when the two meet. Mei Xuan's question tests Su Fei's understanding ability. If he is just a casual observer,
Hua, I definitely can’t answer it!
Mei Xuan looked at Su Fei's thinking, and felt a little happy in his heart. You are so flattering! I see you will still have the face to refine the word elixir in front of my Mei family in the future!
Unexpectedly, before Mei Xuan could feel proud, Su Fei suddenly said: "Your question is not difficult at all."
"Purple blue grass belongs to water, and star river sand belongs to fire. When the two come together, the medicinal properties of purple blue grass will be neutralized by the star river sand. However, usually there are some wood impurities in the star river sand, which will be mixed in the purple blue grass.
It works in the presence of grass sap. If the quality of the galaxy sand used is not high and there are too many impurities, it will suppress the fire attribute of the galaxy sand itself and turn fire into wood. The two will combine together to form a state similar to companionship.
"
"If I'm not mistaken, this should also be an improved method of cultivating purple indigo grass. Using the magazine of Galaxy Sand to improve the soil quality, it is possible to artificially grow indigo grass in some extreme environments."
"…………"
There was a moment of silence that could be heard.
Master Qi doesn't understand this at all, but judging from his understanding of the attributes of medicine, Su Fei seems to be right.
