Seeing Ge Ziyan chatting with Gongsun Yan as if no one else was around as soon as he came in, Zheng Siyuan was a little dumbfounded. He then said to Ge Ziyan in a friendly manner:
"Zi Yan, you go over and discuss it with your senior brother first. I have guests here and there are some things that need to be dealt with. I will be there in a moment."
"No, it's not easy to meet my elder brother. I just want to ask him about alchemy. You can talk after I finish asking, okay?"
After saying that, without waiting for Zheng Siyuan to answer, she turned around and asked Gongsun Yan:
"Brother, I have encountered difficulties in refining alchemy recently. I have refined hundreds of elixirs in a row and all of them are useless. Can you help me figure out where the problem is?"
Hearing this, everyone was astonished. This little girl is really capable! Not only did she not listen to the master, she also asked outsiders for advice in front of the master. This made Zheng Siyuan very embarrassed!
Everyone secretly glanced at Zheng Siyuan, and saw that he had an indifferent expression, and his eyes were full of love when he looked at the little girl.
Everyone couldn't help but respect this alliance leader. With such a status, he could be as humble as a grain of salt and aloof from the world! But at the same time, it also showed that he doted on this disciple.
Ge Ziyan's move stumped Gongsun Yan. His face turned red and he said solemnly:
"Yan'er, don't be ridiculous. Since the leader of the alliance is here, I have no right to speak. You should ask Senior Zheng for advice later!"
"Haha, Master Gongsun, there is no order of precedence when it comes to learning the Tao. The one who masters it is the teacher, so don't hesitate to give her a few words of advice! Maybe it will inspire her."
Zheng Siyuan said quickly, fearing that this little girl would say something outrageous again.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked at Gongsun Yan to see how he would deal with such an embarrassing situation.
Gongsun Yan pondered for a while, cupped his hands towards Zheng Siyuan, and then said to Ge Ziyan:
"Yan'er, tell me your problem. Maybe I can help you figure it out. But if I really don't understand it, don't blame me!"
"Okay! Brother, I'm going to refine a new elixir recently, which can be used to heal wounds after going crazy during practice. I designed the elixir recipe and recipe based on the characteristics of each material, the extraction method, the compatibility characteristics, and the fire requirements, etc.
The refining method fails every time. I know the properties of each material clearly, but it just can't be made into a pill. I'm really worried to death!"
Ge Ziyan explained the difficulties she encountered concisely and to the point.
"Yan'er, is this a ready-made elixir recipe? Is there a ready-made elixir?"
Gongsun Yan asked.
"No, I figured it out myself. It was designed based on the function of the elixir. It should have curative effects in this area."
Ge Ziyan said shyly.
"Tsk tsk, Yan'er is really not that simple. At such a young age, he can actually design his own recipe. It really puts my brother to shame!"
Gongsun Yan said seriously.
"Brother, please don't laugh at me. I haven't finished it yet," Ge Ziyan said.
Gongsun Yan pondered for a moment and said to Ge Ziyan:
"Yan'er, I don't know what specific alchemy materials you use, what their characteristics are, and what their medicinal properties are. Therefore, I can't give you specific suggestions. I can only tell you my understanding of alchemy in general. I hope it will help you.
You have help, are you willing to listen?"
Hearing this, Ge Ziyan's eyes lit up, and regardless of everyone's gaze, he directly moved a stool and sat next to Gongsun Yan, preparing to listen to him carefully.
"Yan'er, this alchemy practice is different from martial arts training. For martial arts practitioners, you only need to tell him the routines, moves and movement essentials, give him plenty of time, and let him strictly follow the movement essentials and practice step by step. Practice will make him perfect, and he will eventually achieve great results.
High attainments!"
"Alchemy is different. You don't have to follow the rules and refine the elixir step by step. This is like a chef cooking. Although he knows the characteristics, flavor, ripening time and heat of each ingredient, and also knows how to use each ingredient, each time
The dishes cooked by different chefs using the same ingredients are very different and have different tastes.”
After a pause, Gongsun Yan continued:
"In the process of alchemy, in addition to mastering the characteristics and compatibility characteristics of various alchemy materials and other basic elements, the refining process is particularly important. It is necessary to carefully observe every detail, capture every phenomenon, and make reasonable explanations based on these phenomena.
Then make corresponding adjustments to the next operation to determine the next fire control."
Gongsun Yan continued:
"These phenomena often cannot be predicted in advance. Therefore, those alchemists who predict the process phenomena very clearly can only talk about it on paper. In fact, the effect of an elixir is divided into two types. One is each type.
The superposition of effects of various elixirs, I call them compound elixirs. When refining such elixirs, special attention must be paid to the effect of each elixir not to be lost. Once the heat is not controlled properly, the expected results will not be achieved.
effect."
"The other type of elixir is completely different. When various elixirs are fused together, material changes occur, and thus the efficacy changes. After the elixir is formed, it is not the simple superposition of the effects of various elixirs, but
New substances and new effects have been derived. Refining this kind of elixir is the higher realm of alchemists and the real way of alchemy. Yan'er, you must develop in this direction."
Seeing Ge Ziyan nod, Gongsun Yan continued:
"Yan'er, if the efficacy of compound elixirs can be predicted based on the ingredients, this elixir that has derived new substances and changes in efficacy is completely unpredictable. Each step must be rigorously verified and repeated over and over again.
As a result, and after a trial, the elixir recipe, compatibility and refining method can finally be determined, instead of establishing the elixir recipe and refining method first and then copying them mechanically!"
Hearing this, Ge Ziyan's eyes lit up and he shouted:
"Brother, I understand, I'm going to make alchemy."
Ge Ziyan ran away immediately, while Zheng Siyuan seemed to realize something. After pondering for a while, he suddenly stood up and walked away in a hurry.
A few people were left sitting there in shock.
At this time, Director Sun on the side said quickly:
"I'm sorry, Master Gongsun's words probably touched the alliance leader. He probably went to the scene to watch his apprentice make alchemy and won't be back for a while. Please be patient with Palace Master Dou and Director Li!"
After hearing this, Ren Daozhong asked:
"Director Sun, that girl, no, who is that female master?"
"Oh? Director Li doesn't even know about her? She is a rare genius alchemist in our "Alchemy Alliance" for thousands of years, Ge Ziyan, the leader's close disciple!"
"ah!"
Ren Daozhong was shocked. What shocked him was not that Ge Ziyan was a genius alchemist, but that this girl had such an extraordinary identity and had such a close relationship with Gongsun Yan.
Just now, he was secretly happy that Gongsun Yan and Zheng Siyuan had a normal relationship. Now it seems that with this girl here, the "Dan Alliance" will definitely stand firmly on Gongsun Yan's side.
