Su Wenxuan did not rush to find Zhang Shen, but before looking for Zhang Shen, he first spent some money to inquire about Zhang Shen's personality and preferences from old students in the martial arts academy.
Zhang Shen has a very good character. Apart from a little vanity, he has no other faults.
His hobby is drinking tea, and his favorite is Lincao tea. This tea is not cheap, costing one thousand taels per catty.
After inquiring about this information, Su Wenxuan made a plan.
He bought three kilograms of Lincao tea and went to see Zhang Shen with the Lincao tea.
Arriving outside Zhang Shen's house, Su Wenxuan knocked on the door gently. The person who opened the door was an old man with gray hair, it was Zhang Shen.
"Teacher Zhang."
Su Wenxuan saluted respectfully.
Zhang Shen looked at Su Wenxuan with some confusion, "It's Su Wenxuan, come in quickly."
Entering Zhang Shen's room, Su Wenxuan did not immediately say that he wanted to learn alchemy from him, but first had a casual chat with Zhang Shen.
Zhang Shen asked: "Su Wenxuan, why haven't you gone to alchemy class recently?"
Su Wenxuan did not hide anything, "Teacher, I have already finished studying the content of "Basics of Alchemy", so I didn't go."
"Have you finished studying "Basics of Alchemy"?"
Zhang Shen was surprised.
Su Wenxuan nodded seriously.
Zhang Shen smiled and said, "Then let me test you."
"Please ask the teacher for advice."
"Let me ask you first, what are the medicinal properties of Liuren Palm?"
"Liu Renzhuang is sweet in taste and hot in nature. It has the effect of astringing the lungs and reducing fire, and reducing dampness and sores. It can be used to refine healing elixirs..."
"Where's the fenugreek?"
"Fruit seeds are slightly bitter and cold in nature..."
Zhang Shen asked about five or six kinds of medicinal materials in succession, and Su Wenxuan answered fluently without any mistakes or omissions.
The smile on Zhang Shen's face became even wider, and he then asked: "How to resolve conflicts when cold and hot medicinal materials are refining?"
Su Wenxuan still answered fluently.
No matter what question Zhang Shen asked, he answered it perfectly.
"I didn't expect you to learn so quickly."
The more Zhang Shen looked at Su Wenxuan, the more satisfied he became.
Su Wenxuan took this opportunity and patted the horse, "Teacher, I asked the master before which alchemy master is the most powerful in the academy. The master told me that if I want to learn alchemy, it is best to come to Teacher Zhang Shen."
Zhang Shen's face was full of surprise, "Your master really said that?"
Of course he knew that Su Wenxuan's master was Elder Chu Yingmei.
Being praised by Elder Chu Yingmei greatly satisfied Zhang Shen's vanity.
"Absolutely true."
Anyway, it is impossible for Zhang Shen to go to Chu Yingmei for verification. Su Wenxuan said without blushing, "Master once said that if she has the talent for alchemy, she will come to you, Teacher Zhang, to learn."
With that said, Su Wenxuan served three kilograms of Lincao tea, then stood up and bowed, "Please teach me how to make alchemy, Teacher Zhang."
Zhang Shen did not agree immediately, but looked at Su Wenxuan carefully. He already fully understood Su Wenxuan's purpose.
Although he was very happy to be flattered by Su Wenxuan, Zhang Shen obviously did not lose his mind, but said in a deep voice: "It's not impossible to teach you alchemy, but I have to make it clear in advance that if you fail to meet my requirements
, I will let you go at any time."
"If I fail to meet the teacher's requirements, I will get out of here."
Su Wenxuan solemnly promised.
When Zhang Shen said these words, Su Wenxuan understood that the matter was done.
He planned step by step and finally achieved a result that satisfied him.
Of course, Su Wenxuan understood better that the reason why he could succeed was not because he gave gifts or flattered Zhang Shen. The bigger reason was because of his cheap master Chu Yingmei.
He is Chu Yingmei's direct disciple and the only disciple. Since Chu Yingmei asked Su Wenxuan to come to Zhang Shen to learn alchemy from him, Zhang Shen would not refuse easily.
Rejecting Su Wenxuan would be tantamount to offending Chu Yingmei. As long as Zhang Shen's mind was in order, he would not do such stupid things.
If Su Wenxuan didn't have such an important status, Zhang Shen probably wouldn't even teach him if he flattered him to the sky.
Chu Yingmei took on the responsibility of stepping into the door. As for whether Zhang Shen can teach her the best, it depends on Su Wenxuan.
He must show his alchemy talent in order to gain the respect of the other party.
"Come with me."
Zhang Shen took Su Wenxuan to another room. In this room was a three-legged and two-eared elixir furnace. The elixir furnace was as tall as an ordinary person. Flames were burning in the furnace, as if something was being refined.
elixir.
Zhang Shen stood half a foot away, and tapped the alchemy furnace with his palm. A burst of energy shot out and hit the alchemy furnace. The lid of the furnace flew up, and more than ten pills shot out from inside. Zhang Shen was
Collected deeply.
Zhang Shen is not only an alchemist, but also a master whose strength reaches the seventh level.
Zhang Shen walked towards the alchemy furnace with his hands behind his back, "While refining the elixir, don't forget to practice. The higher your cultivation level, the greater the help it will be in refining the elixir. If you practice fire-attribute skills, it will be more helpful in refining the elixir."
"Thank you teacher for reminding me, I will remember it."
"I'll first teach you how to refine the most basic elixir - a low-grade healing elixir."
"The low-grade healing elixir requires Liuren palm, Ma gardenia, Qiang Erzi, and red dead grass..."
As Zhang Shen introduced, he picked up the medicinal materials in the room and put them into the alchemy furnace. Under the influence of the fire, these medicinal materials gradually fused together...
Su Wenxuan watched very carefully. He kept every step of Zhang Shen's operation in mind and did not dare to miss any of it.
Without spending much time, Zhang Shen covered the alchemy furnace, turned around and said, "The next step is the natural fusion process of the medicinal materials. You only need to wait for another two hours."
After a pause, Zhang Shen continued: "If you are making alchemy, you need to wait for two hours. During this period, you must always look after the flame in the alchemy furnace. It cannot be too high or too low, otherwise problems will occur with the finished medicine."
"If you can cultivate to the fourth level, you can use the inner energy to promote the fusion of medicinal materials, which can greatly shorten the time to form a pill."
Zhang Shen was just demonstrating it to Su Wenxuan, so he had to wait for two hours.
If he went all out to refine a low-grade healing elixir, it would take less than half a quarter of an hour to complete it.
Su Wenxuan listened carefully to Zhang Shen's words. Zhang Shen asked him to look after the flames here and wait two hours before teaching him how to collect the pills.
Su Wenxuan didn't dare to neglect, he just looked at the fire for two hours seriously. If he messed up the first time, it would easily leave a bad impression in Zhang Shen's heart.
Two hours later, Zhang Shen came again and taught Su Wenxuan how to collect the elixir.
A whole set of procedures were taught to Su Wenxuan, "Although what I am teaching you is about refining low-grade healing pills, the refining of other elixirs and the refining of low-grade healing pills are also common in some places."
"Now, you can refine it again."
Zhang Shen handed over the operating rights to Su Wenxuan.
Su Wenxuan took a breath and began to refine the elixir according to the process Zhang Shen had done, selecting medicinal materials, putting them into the elixir furnace, controlling the flames, etc.
More than two hours later.
Dancheng.
Looking at the dark elixir in his hand, Su Wenxuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. He used all his soul power, but he didn't expect that the first time he made elixir, what he got out was a useless elixir.
But he didn't see Zhang Shen's eyes, which were filled with shock.
The first time Su Wenxuan made an elixir, what he made was a waste elixir.
When Zhang Shen made elixirs for the first time, he found nothing, not even useless elixirs, and all the medicinal materials were destroyed.
Anyone who can refine a useless elixir for the first time can definitely be called an alchemy genius.
"Don't be disappointed, you are already very good, much better than I was back then."
Zhang Shen told Su Wenxuan the details of refining the elixir. Su Wenxuan was surprised. He didn't expect that he would be praised for refining the useless elixir.
Later, Zhang Shen gave Su Wenxuan some pointers as to what went wrong that led to the refining of the waste elixir.
Solve this problem and you can refine the elixir in the future.
"It's already late today. You can come back tomorrow."
Zhang Shen looked at the sky and said.
Su Wenxuan said goodbye and left.
Back in his room, Su Wenxuan opened the system panel.
A low-grade healing pill appeared on the system panel, and it had reached the entry-level level.
Su Wenxuan put the skill of refining low-grade healing pills on the idle position.
To make alchemy in idle mode, you don’t need an alchemy furnace or medicinal materials. You don’t need anything to improve your proficiency.
Of course, just to improve proficiency, there will be no Cheng Dan given to Su Wenxuan.
night.
The system prompts constantly.
[The low-grade healing elixir has reached a small level.]
[Low-grade healing elixir reaches mastery.]
…………
[The low-grade healing elixir has reached perfection.]
Not even a night has passed, only three hours have passed, and the refining of the low-grade healing elixir has reached a state of perfection.
Su Wenxuan couldn't help but wonder, could he be that unique alchemy genius?
Not really.
The reason why his proficiency increased so quickly was mainly because of the soul power cultivated in the "Eternal Soul Sutra". The soul power was of great help in alchemy, which allowed Su Wenxuan to believe that he was a unique alchemy genius.
hallucination.
The next day, Su Wenxuan went to see Zhang Shen again. When he was refining elixir again, he showed Zhang Shen his "talent".
The second time of refining the elixir, he directly refined the low-grade healing elixir.
Although there are still some impurities in it, the fact is that he has indeed refined a truly low-grade healing elixir.
Of course, this is because Su Wenxuan retained his strength, otherwise he would be able to refine a perfect low-grade healing pill without any impurities.
His approach was still the same as before at Chuanyun Martial Arts School, exposing some of his natural abilities, but not completely, otherwise it would lead to death.
Seeing that Su Wenxuan was so talented in alchemy, Zhang Shen became more and more pleased with Su Wenxuan.
"Su Wenxuan, are you willing to accept me as your master?"
Zhang Shen solemnly asked Su Wenxuan.
Although he knew that Su Wenxuan was Chu Yingmei's disciple, Zhang Shen could still accept Su Wenxuan as his disciple. One was his master in cultivation and the other was his master in alchemy. There was no conflict.
In fact, even if Su Wenxuan pays homage to another cultivation master, there will be no problem. No one will think that Su Wenxuan betrayed Chu Yingmei and his master.
This kind of thing is normal in this world. A person can worship many masters, and a master can accept a large number of disciples. No one will make an issue of it.
Of course, if Zhang Shen and Chu Yingmei have a grudge, then they cannot accept Zhang Shen as their teacher, otherwise it will be betrayal of the teacher.
"I do!"
Su Wenxuan was overjoyed and quickly served tea to Zhang Shen to complete the apprenticeship ceremony.
A thick smile appeared on Zhang Shen's face. He did not have a disciple because he had never found one who satisfied him.
He does have children and grandchildren. Even if they don't have the talent for alchemy, Zhang Shen is willing to teach them all, but those guys are not willing to learn, so after seeing Su Wenxuan's talent for alchemy, he did not hesitate.
Taking on a disciple.
After becoming Zhang Shen's apprentice, Zhang Shen taught Su Wenxuan alchemy without reservation. With the help of the system, Su Wenxuan's alchemy skills improved by leaps and bounds, and he mastered more and more elixirs.
On this day, Su Wenxuan left the yard and planned to buy an alchemy furnace and some medicinal materials for alchemy.
He couldn't always use Zhang Shen's things, he still had to have his own things.
However, buying things in the martial arts academy requires merit points. Su Wenxuan had never done any tasks in the academy. He only had a few merit points routinely distributed by the academy, which was not enough, so Su Wenxuan decided to go to Fucheng to have a look.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the college, Su Wenxuan saw an acquaintance.
Di Qingye.
He took the initiative to greet Di Qingye, "Junior sister, long time no see."
Di Qingye was stunned for a moment, and then he ran over with a happy face, "Senior brother."
Behind Di Qingye, there were three people, two men and one woman, all ordinary students, obviously Di Qingye's teammates.
"Senior brother, why haven't you come out recently? I don't know where to look for you."
Chu Yingmei's courtyard is a forbidden area for ordinary students, and they don't even know where it is.
"I've been practicing lately."
Su Wenxuan explained casually and asked, "You just came back from outside?"
Di Qingye nodded, "Yes, I just completed a task."
Su Wenxuan's heart moved, "Junior sister, do you know anything about Hongming Mansion?"
"It's not bad. I walked around the city and did some tasks."
"That's good, you can be my guide. I want to buy something in the city, but I have never left the martial arts academy."
"Yeah, no problem."
Di Qingye turned around and said something to his teammates, and then said to Su Wenxuan: "Brother, let's go."
As soon as the two left, a male student among Di Qingye's teammates said coldly: "Who is this guy? Why is Junior Sister Di so happy to see him?"
Another female student, who is also from Pingxi City, said calmly: "I advise you not to have any thoughts. That person's name is Su Wenxuan. You may not have seen him, but you should have heard of his name.
.”
"Su Wenxuan? Is he the guy who was so lucky that he was accepted as the true successor by Elder Chu?"
"it's him!"
The male students who were dissatisfied with Su Wenxuan were immediately discouraged.
No matter how many ideas he had, he would not dare to implement them against his true disciples.
"Damn it! Why is he so lucky?"
This male student could only complain that there were many people like this in the martial arts academy who felt that Su Wenxuan was just unlucky.
Complaints are complaints, but no one is out of their minds and deliberately looking for trouble for Su Wenxuan.
