Chapter 4 The horse is hungry and the grass ditch
The key points of alchemy he saw were only a small part of the beginning, and there should be many more later.
what happend?
Zhou Yang scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously, feeling extremely depressed. He had just aroused his desire to study the art of alchemy, but then there was nothing left, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
But there are no words, so what's the use of anger? Why is only a small part of the key to alchemy written down? Is it a prank by this master? It shouldn't be so boring!
No, the master must have a deep meaning in it.
Zhou Yang walked around the cave with a torch, but found no other clues. After thinking hard to no avail, he had to go back to the unfinished rock wall.
Endgame! A flash of enlightenment suddenly flashed in Zhou Yang's mind. If this game was left by the master, is it somehow related to the words on the top of the cave? At present, his contest with white has just begun, and not many stones have been dropped yet.
Could it be...
Zhou Yang did not read the words on the top of the cave anymore, but picked up a sunspot, gathered his thoughts and put aside the distracting thoughts. Shen Ling dropped it on the wall after a while, and the white stone also began to fight with him.
This went on for several more hours, with both sides making moves slower and slower, each move taking a long time to think about.
Once again, waiting for the opponent to make a move, Zhou Yang held the torch high and looked up. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. Just as he had guessed, many densely packed words appeared again at the break!
Sure enough, only through constant chess playing and proper handling can those ancient writings be revealed.
However, with previous experience, Zhou Yang did not look at the ancient characters because he estimated that if the chess game had not been played, all the contents of the alchemy key would not be revealed.
This game is a game of division rather than handicap, so there is no such thing as a draw. Only by winning the game can you achieve your wish. Of course, in theory, there is still a draw, which can cause a series of tribulations, three tribulations, or four tribulations.
, and even create a long-lasting game to draw a chess match.
At this time, the rules of Yiqi are different from those in ancient times. In ancient times, it was a block chess. That is to say, two black and two white pieces are placed on the four corners first, and then white goes first.
The purpose is to limit the advantage of being the first mover to the greatest extent, but the rules have changed since ancient times, and the seat method has been cancelled, but some restrictions have still been retained.
Nowadays, chess players can play freely, and there are many changes. Of course, the player who moves first must follow the goal. The chess game played in Shibi is obviously not ancient block chess, and it is almost impossible for Zhou Yang to draw a chess game.
Since this endgame was left by the masters of the past, how can it be allowed for future generations to easily create a game of immortality, let alone win the game.
That is to say, Zhou Yang has been immersed in this way for more than ten years before he can fight against one or two. If it were anyone else, there would be no way to start. Even so, Zhou Yang tried his best and was still on the defensive.
In fact, this is not bad. The player who arranged this endgame must have reached the top three levels of masters, and may even be in the state of trance. Therefore, Zhou Yang's intention is not to win, but to try his best to find a way to deal with it.
In the next three days, Zhou Yang forgot about food and sleep, and tried his best to deal with the endgame, gradually moving back the disadvantage. And the number of ancient characters on the top of the cave gradually increased.
It wasn't until three days later that Zhou Yang felt hungry that he stopped temporarily.
After eating some more wolf meat, he glanced at the ancient inscriptions on the top of the cave. These ancient inscriptions already occupied most of the stone wall on the top of the cave, with only a few left empty.
He was overjoyed, and he had a deeper understanding of the intentions of this Dan Dao Jia chess master.
The master does not mean to embarrass future generations. As long as he follows the right path, he can reveal the ancient text. If future generations win, the key to the alchemy will be completely revealed.
If future generations can't win, it is estimated that this technique will be revealed. It focuses on understanding, perseverance, and the spirit of perseverance to never give up.
Having figured this out, Zhou Yang no longer cares about gains and losses, and only acts based on his own character. He will only go as far as he can, and he will take winning and losing even less seriously.
I don’t know whether it was a sudden enlightenment or just a coincidence with the master’s plan. The subsequent battles were all smooth sailing. Zhou Yang’s mind was also blank. He regarded the sunspots under his banner as thousands of troops, strategizing, winning thousands of miles, and conquering everything.
Be invincible and eliminate all disadvantages.
At this time, there was a stalemate on the board, and his chess skills were also improving rapidly, and before he knew it, he was approaching the realm of secludedness.
Suddenly, the chess game in front of Zhou Yang disappeared, and there was nothing on the rock wall. But the top of the cave was filled with brilliance. Those ancient texts instantly covered the top of the cave, and every word was extremely clear. There was no need to light a torch.
It's so real to see.
At this time, Zhou Yang was neither happy nor sad. He regarded these things as natural and right, and raised his head and stared upward.
All the essentials of alchemy are revealed!
This trick is divided into four parts:
The first part is the secret of spiritual planting, which is the method of planting and cultivating spiritual herbs and medicinal herbs.
The second part is Dan Fire Technique, which talks about how to control fire and practice elixir.
The third part is the Talisman Array Technique, that is, how to depict the Talisman Array.
The fourth part is the prescription.
This is a complete set of alchemy techniques!
"Hahahaha, there is no end to the road, I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it! Is this the legendary saying where a man falls into a pillow when he's sleepy, and a horse falls into a ditch when he's hungry?"
Unexpectedly, Yi Qi, who was only used for entertainment with others and was laughed at by the cultivators as a plaything, would one day be exchanged for such a valuable treasure. Zhou Yang's previous worries were wiped away. He could no longer remain calm, and his nature was unleashed, and he laughed wildly.
With this technique, he no longer cares about the Ziyuan Sect or the training family!
The further you go in training, the more difficult it becomes, and the more materials and elixirs are required. This is why everyone is willing to practice in a sect or family. One person cannot support the huge expenditure on training.
Alchemy masters and weapon masters are the most respected professions in the cultivation world, but the number of them is too small, often only a few in a city.
Therefore, sects and families do not provide everyone with training materials in full. They only focus on cultivating disciples with potential, qualifications or strong backgrounds. Most of them still need to struggle on their own, or find opportunities and luck.
If he mastered the art of alchemy, it would be different. He could completely break away from the shackles of the sect and practice on his own.
"Hahahaha!" Zhou Yang looked up to the sky and laughed again, and there were echoes in the cave. The laughter lagged behind. He suppressed his excitement, calmed down, watched carefully, and understood the key points of the alchemy with his heart.
However, half an hour later, his face became a little gloomy. The Ling Zhi Jue was okay, but he had never heard of most of the spiritual herbs and elixirs recorded in the elixir recipe, let alone seen it.
Although he doesn't know how to practice elixirs, he goes out looking for spiritual herbs and elixirs all year round, so he knows the names and uses of materials at all levels, except of course particularly high-level materials.
The spiritual herbs and elixirs recorded in this recipe are either extinct or cannot be easily seen on the market. Anyway, he has never seen them in Tuyan City.
Moreover, most of the recorded elixir prescriptions are for middle and high-level elixirs, and there are very few low-level elixirs. For example, there are no records of elixir prescriptions such as Hui Ling Dan and Bai Luo Dan.
The secrets of alchemy are a treasure trove for him, but the feeling of guarding the treasure trove without knowing how to start is even more heart-wrenching!
"Well, it is a thaumaturgy after all. Whether you use it or not is a matter for the future. Write it down first. From now on, if you study slowly, you may gain something. You can't beg for food from the golden rice bowl!" Zhou Yang
Although I'm a little disappointed, just because I don't need it now doesn't mean I won't use it in the future.
After all, he has very little knowledge. The materials that Tu Yancheng does not have may be available in other cities.
At this time, he didn't bring paper and pen, nor did he have any jade slips. Of course, he wouldn't be able to use the jade slips, which would require spiritual awareness. Fortunately, he has a good brain and plenty of time, so he should have no problem remembering.
I don't know how much time has passed, but Zhou Yang has forgotten the passage of time. While watching, he carved on the ground with branches, muttering a few words from time to time, and memorized the key points of the alchemy.
According to this key record, the elixirs are divided into nine categories, which is similar to the current level. The potency of each category is very different, the training techniques are also very different, and the value is even greater.
With his current strength, he can barely make a first-grade elixir. If he reaches the late Kaiyuan period, he will be very confident.
Second-grade elixirs must reach the Lingtai realm before they can be refined, while fifth-grade elixirs and above must reach the Golden elixir realm.
The Essentials of Alchemy only records the prescriptions and preparation methods of elixirs below the eighth level. According to reports, ninth-level elixirs can only be prepared by a ninth-level alchemist, and their level is much higher than that of golden elixirs, but that is just a legend.
