Li Xuanye looked at Ye Qianming who looked puzzled in front of him and sighed.
"If I were the old man, although it would be difficult to refine a third-grade elixir, it would not be too difficult to refine a top-notch second-grade elixir."
"At that time, I was very high-spirited and was the best among the alchemists of my generation. He was called the number one genius in Bishan Alchemy. I thought that I had a bright future. It was only a matter of time before I became a third-level alchemist."
"But this step seems simple, but it is extremely difficult. After countless attempts to challenge the third-level alchemy master failed, I became discouraged, gradually lost my enterprising spirit, and developed inner demons. From then on, the path of alchemy continued again and again.
It is difficult to make any progress or even decline."
He looked at Ye Qianming with complicated eyes: "But even so, I am still the top second-grade alchemist in Bishan Kingdom. It is difficult for ordinary monks to see the decline of my skills, so when I learn that you are dissatisfied with the alchemy I refined,
When I was building the Foundation Pill, I was more surprised."
"Later, I learned from my disciple Li Gandang that you are the alchemist of the Shiling Pill that has become popular in recent days. Then I realized that your evaluation was not just nonsense, but that you are indeed capable, so you knew I brought you here
What are you going to do now?"
Ye Qianming was not stupid and had no intention of pretending to be confused. He said, "Master Li, do you want me to help solve your alchemy problem?"
Li Xuanye nodded: "I have been stuck in the quagmire of the alchemy path for too long. I need the energy and thoughts of the younger generation to stimulate me, and I also need a genius like you who can refine the spiritual elixir to enlighten me."
"If you are willing, I can lend you this alchemy room. The efficiency and level of alchemy are much higher than ordinary places, and I can also give you enough alchemy materials and merits, but the elixir you refine will be
Half of the medicine will be sent to the alchemy room for confiscation, and the rest will be yours, what do you think?"
Ye Qianming has been free these days. Now that he has the opportunity to refine some high-quality elixirs, he is naturally more than happy, but he still has some questions.
"I dare to ask Master Li. My disciple has only refined a few ordinary elixirs. The Spirit Release Pill was just an accident and it is difficult to count. Master Li is not a reckless person. Why did he so quickly conclude that his disciple is gifted in the alchemy path?"
, can it be of help to you?”
"Because there is no time."
Li Xuanye's words were shocking, he closed his eyes and said: "In recent days, the enemies of the Academy have become more and more closely connected. You are the disciple of the Palace Master, so I will tell you directly. In my opinion, within a few years, the Academy will
There must be a big battle with those people."
Ye Qianming felt something in his heart and asked, "Is it the royal family and the Liu family?"
Li Xuanye looked at Ye Qianming with some surprise and nodded: "You know a lot. The Academy is very powerful. The emperor has long wanted to replace us. For him, the Academy is the ax next to his bed.
Make it difficult for him to sleep and eat well."
"So for them, a big battle is necessary to uproot the power and deep foundation of the academy. And they have the help of Ye Kongzun. In addition to their strong cultivation, the biggest help is the third-grade elixir."
When Li Xuanye said this, he looked at the alchemy furnace burning with alchemy fire and his eyes seemed to be looking into the distance.
"So I want to try again, try to break through to the third level, and make more preparations for future troubles. This is not for myself, but for the teachers and disciples of the academy."
He looked at Ye Qianming, who was silent, and suddenly laughed at himself: "Isn't I a little ignorant?"
Ye Qianming shook his head and said with full respect: "Those who have tried their best and failed to achieve it can have no regrets, but who can ridicule them? What Master Li thinks and does is all for righteousness, and I admire you."
After that, he respectfully bowed to Li Xuanye as a disciple. Li Xuanye was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, and actually regained some of his former majestic demeanor.
"Okay! I really saw the right person. If you have any requests, you can just make them and come to me to make elixirs after class every day."
Ye Qianming nodded and said, "In that case, I do have two things to report."
"But there's no harm in talking."
"The first one is about the tasks that disciples received in the Deacon Hall..."
Ye Qianming explained to Li Xuanye what happened after he received the ghost mission in a slightly modified way, and the latter also looked very serious after hearing this.
"Since there is such a thing...then don't give up on the mission yet."
"Why is this?"
Li Xuanye's thoughts of living for a hundred more years were reflected again: "You think, if someone abandoned the mission as soon as this ghost figure happened, people would be suspicious once they noticed it, so it is better to pretend to continue the mission without any results.
, I will help you make arrangements after the storm has passed."
Ye Qianming felt blessed in his heart and nodded: "That's true. It's inevitable that someone might find out that I accepted the mission. If I cancel the mission by such a coincidence, it will make people suspicious and suggestive, and it will be even more dangerous. But if I don't cancel,
I’m afraid there will be people…”
Li Xuanye nodded: "But there is no other way. The tasks of the Deacon Hall must be recorded, and there are many people with mixed eyes. If someone finds out that the registered task suddenly disappears, it will be troublesome, so you have to bear a certain risk. I will take care of you."
Ye Qianming knew in his heart that since he had made a decision, he would not be too worried and would just take it step by step. So after the discussion, Ye Qianming talked about Yang Wei again.
This matter seemed not worth mentioning compared to the overt and covert struggles of the major forces, but Li Xuanye's expression became more and more exciting as Ye Qianming described it, and the two discussed the matter until it was dark.
After that, Ye Qianming left the academy at night, secretly brought Yang Wei from the Yu family to the academy, and put on the Thousand Faces to change his appearance. From the next day, Ye Qianming became Li Xuanye's nominal disciple.
, and a young man named Wei Yang became Ye Qianming's alchemy assistant.
In fact, most alchemy disciples will find some low-level monks to be their assistants, so that they can get rid of distracting thoughts and concentrate on refining alchemy. The academy also allows each person to bring up to two assistants, but they cannot participate in teaching and discussion. They can only
As an assistant in alchemy.
Therefore, Ye Qianming's assistant Wei Yang only attracted the attention of Yu Jin and other friends when he first appeared, but then he became accustomed to him, and with his enthusiastic personality, he soon made many friends.
In the alchemy room at the bottom of the alchemy hall, Ye Qianming used the activity of the earth fire to draw out his own alchemy fire, ignited the alchemy furnace, and waited for the time to mature.
On both sides of him were Li Xuanye, who was observing, and Yang Wei, who was holding various herbs and wearing a thousand-faced mask. The latter now changed his name to Yang Wei and started to help Ye Qianming make alchemy today, but this boring work was really torture.
He, so the whole person was a little nervous.
Ye Qianming sat cross-legged and calmly controlled the elixir fire. When the elixir fire was strong and the fire was luxuriant, he said.
"Three Xuanbing flowers and two Tianling fruits."
Yang Wei immediately took out the corresponding herbal medicine, which was held by Ye Qianming with a flying needle. The two herbal medicines were put in the order of one black ice flower and one Tianling fruit. The intervals between each placement were not consistent, but gradually changed.
It was so long that Li Xuanye was amazed.
"The stacking method is actually used, which is completely different from the ordinary alchemist's method of putting all the medicine in and then dissolving it. Although it is more difficult and the process is longer, the medicine is dissolved more evenly and fully. This furnace of elixir has begun to take shape.
It’s top quality.”
After the last dose of the Xuan Bing Hua's medicinal power was released, Ye Qianming made a hand seal, and the elixir fire suddenly changed its shape and surged up from the bottom, immediately burning the entire elixir furnace.
Li Xuanye was shocked: "What are you doing? If you do this, the medicinal power in the alchemy furnace will explode again, and the alchemy furnace will explode... Wait, it's the Three Yang furnace method!"
Li Xuanye was shocked. He looked at Ye Qianming and murmured: "The three-yang furnace-opening method has long been lost. Ordinary elixirs extinguish the elixir fire at the last moment and stabilize the medicinal properties, but the three-yang furnace-opening method is to let the medicine's power be at the last moment."
Active, and at the same time, use the elixir fire to control it from leaking, and finally make the elixir become an elixir at the most active moment. The elixir produced by this method has extremely strong medicinal properties, but the probability of failure is also extremely high. I actually saw it here!
"
Yang Wei on the side didn't understand alchemy, so he could only watch the excitement in confusion.
So under the watchful eyes of two experts and laymen, Li Xuanye and Yang Wei, Ye Qianming finally put back the elixir fire in an instant, and the active explosive power of the medicine immediately condensed into a elixir and fell into Ye Qianming's hands.
Ye Qianming smiled slightly at Li Xuanye: "It's done, please ask Master Li to take a look!"
