Wang Gensheng took a deep breath and carefully felt the clear current flowing through every meridian in his body.
A cold feeling spread throughout my body.
This feeling made Wang Gensheng enjoy it very much. He closed his eyes tightly for a while, and then slowly opened his eyes after a long time.
"Thank you, senior, for the elixir. I felt a cold energy flowing through my body just now. It feels very comfortable."
"That's right. This elixir is what I use to help my disciples break through the realm. It's a blessing to be able to help Brother Gensheng."
"Senior, what should I do next?"
Xia Houjun changed his usual seriousness and raised his eyebrows.
"Next, I will give you some elixirs and formulas. You can refine them according to the formulas. If the success rate reaches more than 90%, you will be able to break through to the fifth level."
This matter aroused Xia Houjun's great interest.
Being able to help Wang Gensheng break through the level of alchemist is quite an achievement for a person who has reached the sixth level of alchemist.
In the next half month, Wang Gensheng used the Shennong Cauldron to refine some elixirs for strengthening the body and refining Qi.
The materials used are not too precious and can be purchased in the market for a little money.
The refining cost is not too high and is within Wang Gensheng's ability.
Coupled with Xia Houjun's help, within half a month, Wang Gensheng had broken through to the fifth level as a pharmacist.
After breaking through to level 5, you can no longer simply refine elixirs according to the formula. You need to have a full understanding of the medicinal materials and control of subtle changes during the refining process.
"Senior, what elixir do I need to refine next so that I can quickly improve my taste."
After breaking through to the fifth level, Wang Gensheng was very happy and had stayed at Xia Houjun's house for 10 days.
During these 10 days, Wang Gensheng plunged into the alchemy room and never came out until he broke through to level 5.
Xia Houjun looked at the elixirs he had successfully refined and nodded with great satisfaction.
"Brother Gensheng is really talented. He has already broken through to the fifth level in 10 days. I believe it won't take long for you to break through again."
Wang Gensheng clasped his hands and said, "Thanks to the elixir that my senior gave me, my five senses were able to be very focused while refining the elixir."
"I can clearly feel some slight changes in the materials during the refining process, which allowed me to break through to the fifth level in a short period of time."
This breakthrough greatly increased Wang Gensheng's confidence.
The original goal was to reach the seventh level, which was already the limit, but now the goal is to hit the eighth level.
Although it will be increasingly difficult to refine the elixir in the future, Wang Gensheng now has great confidence.
Seeing his confident look, Xia Houjun felt a little sense of accomplishment.
It is also quite good to have a senior alchemist appear under your own guidance.
"Brother Gensheng, next you have to refine some more complex elixirs. Refining these elixirs requires you to have stronger concentration and perception."
"After reaching the fifth level, I believe your five senses are now stronger than before, but the next challenge you have is to refine the Zhengyang Pill."
"This kind of elixir can also be sold after being refined. It is needed by many monks."
"Some monks are born with weak air and sea, and they can use Zhengyang Earth to make up for this deficiency."
Wang Gensheng immediately became interested when he heard that Zhengyang Pill could compensate for congenital defects.
A large number of monks have relatively weak Qi, so no matter how hard they practice, their level of improvement is very slow.
Even if you are very talented, you can only linger at a low level.
If you can refine the Zhengyang Pill, you can solve a large number of people's problems, which can also improve the overall strength of the monks in Kyoto City.
Thinking of this, Wang Gensheng couldn't wait to ask: "Senior, where do you need to buy the materials for refining the Zhengyang Pill?"
Ouyang Jun smiled and said: "You need to go to two places to buy the materials for refining the Zhengyang Pill."
"One is the Yin Yang Tower in our Kyoto City, and the other place is more special. You need to go to the Ghost Market in the Fog City."
After Wang Gensheng heard about the ghost market, he was stunned and said.
"What is the ghost market that senior mentioned?"
Seeing Wang Gensheng's confused and worried look, Xia Houjun smiled calmly and said.
"The Fog City is also called Shanhai. Ganoderma and Ganoderma are abundant there, and the place where they trade Ganoderma and Ganoderma is called the Ghost Market."
"Because their trading time is set at midnight, outsiders call it a ghost market."
Wang Gensheng suddenly realized that there were still people trading at midnight, couldn't they trade during the day?
"Senior, why do they choose to trade at midnight? Doesn't this give those who want to trade off inferior goods a good opportunity?"
Even the same kind of Ganoderma lucidum is divided into several grades, and some of them will lose part of their potency due to improper picking.
In some cases, the efficacy of the medicine will be reduced by half because the growing place is not ideal.
If you are trading at midnight, these will be difficult to see.
Xia Houjun stroked his long beard and said calmly:
"This is the shrewdness of the locals in Fog City. If they don't know how to choose medicinal materials, they will probably buy a bunch of waste products at a high price."
"Of course, another reason is that some elixirs cannot be exposed to positive yang energy. Once exposed to positive yang energy, the efficacy of the medicine will be lost quickly, so they choose to trade at midnight."
Wang Gensheng nodded, seeming to understand.
"Senior, if medicinal materials cannot come into contact with Zhengyang Qi, then the value of such medicinal materials should be very high, right?"
"One of the medicinal materials you need to buy this time is incapable of contacting Zhengyang Qi."
After saying this, Xia Houjun took out a very delicate square box made of pure jade from his arms.
"This is a mysterious jade box, which can ensure that the medicinal materials you purchase will not come into contact with the positive yang energy."
After Wang Gensheng took the Xuan Jade box and played with it in his hands, he discovered that there were some very strange carvings on it.
Xia Houjun saw him looking at the lines on the mysterious jade box with a confused look on his face, and then explained.
"The lines on it are actually a seal, which can isolate all positive and positive energy."
Wang Gensheng nodded, thinking that no wonder the lines on it looked so weird, it turned out to be a seal.
"Senior, what kind of medicinal materials should I buy this time? Please make a list, and I will set off immediately."
Xia Houjun laughed.
"Haha, I have already prepared the list of Gensheng brothers for you."
