"As an alchemist, herbal medicine is the foundation of foundations. In the first round of assessment, our four elders will take turns to ask you a question about herbs or pharmacology. If you pass the standard... until all four elders are satisfied." Elder Shen Dan He spoke in a deep voice.
"Do you have any objection?"
"No." Nie Yun slowly shook his head and said.
"Okay." Elder Shen Dan smiled slightly, and then slowly said: "Listen, my question is... what is clover in the Qi-Reviving Pill?"
Faced with this obviously tentative question, Nie Yun smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone: "The main way to reconcile the weak conflict between the blood-activating fruit and the Qi-Returning Grass that simultaneously mobilizes Qi and blood is to first suppress the effect of the Qi-Returning Grass, and then wait for it. The medicinal power of the blood-activating fruit is fully released, which further promotes the effect of the qi-reviving herb, and...slightly suppresses the effect of the refreshing herb."
It turns out that clover actually has the effect of inhibiting the energy-boosting grass?!
After hearing such a detailed answer, many alchemy apprentices outside the circle who were still struggling with the refining of the Qi Rejuvenation Pill had a look of surprise in their eyes. They felt that their understanding of the Qi Rejuvenation Pill was much deeper, and they even couldn't wait to take it. My mentor went back and tried to refine the Qi Restoration Pill again, and became a true alchemist.
However, their mentor obviously would not miss such a grand event. The excitement in his eyes had long since disappeared, replaced by a bright light, because Nie Yun's answer also inspired them a lot!
Well, I still have some foundation. The four elders nodded secretly in their hearts. Elder Shen Dan’s question is not difficult, it can even be said to be very simple. Most alchemists can easily answer: mediate the conflict between the three herbs, and say You cannot be considered wrong for answering this, after all, that is indeed his function.
But this is very difficult, because this is the Alchemist Association's elder assessment. If you really answer such a mediocre answer, let alone the elders, even the "examination invigilator" audience in the audience will sneer. Only Only by truly understanding the medicinal properties of these four herbs, understanding the principles of the Qi-Returning Pill, and providing detailed answers can the elders be satisfied.
But this is just the beginning.
"Is there a way to merge the Ice Vine and Fire Cloud Fruit into one furnace? If so, what are their commonalities or what can be used as a hub to harmonize and coexist?" The middle-aged elder Mu Wei did not give Nie Yun much breathing space. When the opportunity arises, the next question will be raised directly.
If almost most alchemists can answer the previous question with a simple answer, then this question will almost shut out most alchemists directly.
Can Ice Vine and Fire Cloud Fruit be combined into one?
The alchemists around him frowned slightly and shook their heads slowly after a moment. If the elixir itself is compared to a carriage, then the blood-activating fruit and rejuvenating grass of the rejuvenating elixir are moving in the same general direction. The horse is a horse, and the refreshing flower is a riding crop, responsible for urging the horse to run faster, and the clover is the coachman, the chief riding whip, coordinating the two horses, so that the two horses really exert force in the same precise direction.
And the Ice Vine and Fire Cloud Fruit are almost in opposite directions.

Stubborn cows who are completely opposite, one is heading eastward and the other is heading west. How can we coordinate this?
But if the answer is no...even the kids in school know that if there are questions separated by commas, the first answer must be correct, and you can get one point if you fill in the number.
Will he have an answer? Everyone subconsciously looked at the white-robed figure in the center. The alchemists even showed a look of expectation. They were even more eager to get the answer.
Under everyone's expectant eyes, Nie Yun smiled easily. For him, this problem was even simpler than Elder Shen Dan's problem of hiding a needle in the cotton, because he had used it when he created the Violent Qi Pill. Use these two herbs.
"Haha, of course there is."
"Indeed, the Ice Vine and the Fire Cloud Fruit seem to be incompatible, both on the surface and from the core of their properties. If the two are put together, there will be a fierce conflict until one party completely disappears, but ..."
Speaking of this, Nie Yun paused for a moment, looked at the bright eyes around him, smiled slightly, and continued:
"Here I will talk about my views on the matter of alchemy itself. In the end, my alchemy masters can only ask for one sentence, that everything in the world can be made into elixir."
"So, what are all things in the world? It can't be just herbs, right?"
"Of course not. I heard that some heavenly and earthly treasures, such as stalactites in the center of the earth, are good alchemy materials, but they are just like stone-like objects." A middle-aged alchemist frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.
"That's right, there are also ice springs and the like, which are also not herbs but liquids." There were also people who were not alchemists but had a lot of experience and said slowly.
Facing the sudden discussion, the four elders not only did not interrupt, but showed a thoughtful expression. Elder Huang Tan's back that had been hunched up quietly straightened up.
"That's right!" Nie Yun nodded with a smile and then continued: "So since the stalactites in the center of the earth can be used as medicine, why can't the gravel on the ground be used as medicine? Since the ice spring can also be used as medicine, why is ordinary spring water not half effective? On what basis do we judge whether a substance can be used as a medicine?"
Looking at the thoughtful expressions of the alchemists around him, Nie Yun straightened his expression and continued: "I think it's its own energy."
"Everything in the world has energy, including the gravel on the ground and the flowing spring water. But some are more intense, some are gentler, some are stronger, and some are weaker."
"It's just that we can't make use of these weak energies for the time being. We can only master some more concrete herbs with slightly stronger energy, such as Qihui grass, Fire Cloud Fruit, etc., and integrate and reorganize the energy within them to achieve the goal. Use it for your own purposes.”
"Of course, this is just my humble opinion about alchemists and is for your reference only." After saying this, Nie Yun smiled slightly and continued: "Let us return to the previous question, whether the Fire Cloud Fruit and the Ice Vine can be fused. For one furnace, based on my concept
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
,The answer is obvious."
"Although your concept is very interesting, you have not really answered my question." Elder Mu Wei's expression became serious at some point and he said, "If that's all, then I'm sorry."
"Elder Mu Wei." Nie Yun nodded towards Elder Mu Wei and continued: "I introduced my concept just to make it easier for everyone to understand the commonality between the Ice Vine and Fire Cloud Fruit - intense energy."
"The moment when two violent energies with completely opposite characteristics come into contact, a much larger energy is generated. That is what we want. We only need to use seven-petal lotus, Macintosh... to convert this huge energy Keep it, supplement it with green cloud vines on the left and right...just use it."
"In fact, Elder Muwei, if you exchange any two herbs or even objects, my answer will be yes, even if I don't know how to do it." Nie Yun's eyes were long, as if he was hanging high in the sky.
Go up, overlooking the entire land and slowly said: "This world is a melting pot, they themselves are one."
Silence, long silence.
Even the idle people who knew nothing about alchemy fell silent.
Everything in the world can be turned into an elixir... It seems that it is not just a fantasy of alchemists, but it is a real possibility.
"You can become a teacher." Elder Mu Wei's sigh broke the long silence and brought the alchemists who were lost in thought back to reality.
"When Elder Muwei said that he can be a teacher, does he mean that he can become a teacher or a master?" Someone who did not know the profession whispered: "The teacher's words only mean that he has extraordinary knowledge, but the master's words almost have his own way!
"
"It's both." A middle-aged man who was also wearing an alchemist's robe sighed leisurely, then folded his hands and raised them above his chest, his head slightly lowered, and he bowed deeply to the young figure in the center of the red circle.
When he went down, he actually performed half of the teacher's ceremony!
As the middle-aged man bowed, more and more alchemists who were watching also bowed slightly, looking towards the figure in the center as if on a pilgrimage, and they all respectfully performed half of the master's salute.
Nie Yun sat cross-legged in the center of the red circle, with a kind smile on his face, and accepted the gift calmly.
A teacher preaches, teaches and resolves doubts.
First preach, then teach, and finally solve the doubts.
Nie Yun, on the other hand, truly preached his teachings. If one listens to it and recognizes his teachings, then the grace of preaching is genuine, and it is only natural that he should be given the courtesy of a half-teacher.
But if you don't agree with it, you can naturally sneer at it and be calm.
But now it seems that very few people choose the latter.
"Although you have passed in my heart, I still can't ask a single question." The youngest elder, who was only thirty years old, shrugged and said helplessly: "Just briefly talk about the Pulse-Breaking Pill.
