Lin Feng was the last one to walk in. The three senior brothers' rhetoric and compliments took turns, making it impossible for Lin Feng to say a word. In desperation, he had to stand aside and quietly wait for them to finish their words.
The three senior brothers chatted happily for half an hour, until the corners of their mouths were dry and white, and their tongues became a little stiff. Shi Hongye waved his hands and said, "Okay, during my period of retreat, you guys
Are any of you practicing alchemy diligently? Do you have any questions that you need my guidance and answers to?"
Senior Brother Xiao Heng first said: "Disciple has a question, please ask Master for some guidance!"
Shi Hongye smiled and nodded at him, and Xiao Heng continued: "Recently, the disciple is practicing a relatively rare craftsman-level elixir. It requires the addition of three different materials during the process of condensing the elixir, so it needs to be
Open the furnace lid three times,
As a result, the disciple is never able to control the heat of the earth's fire, causing the heat to fluctuate high and low, and ultimately fails. So I would like to ask Teacher, is there any effective way to solve this problem?"
Shi Hongye twirled his beard and began his long speech in a mature tone. After some ups and downs of preaching, Xiao Heng suddenly became enlightened and thanked Shi Hongye profusely. In the end, he did not forget to state his words again.
of kind words.
Next, Wencheng and Huitong also asked about their respective confusions about alchemy. Naturally, Shi Hongye answered them one by one in a good mood. When all three people's doubts were eliminated, Shi Hongye
It seemed that he was a little tired from talking. At this time, he caught a glimpse of Lin Feng, who had been standing silently aside.
Shi Hongye asked Lin Feng kindly: "In the past year and a half, you have lived in the alchemy room with three senior brothers for a long time, and you have been immersed in it day and night. You should have some understanding of alchemy, right?"
Lin Feng stepped forward respectfully: "The three senior brothers have superb alchemy skills. Even though I try my best, I can't reach one ten thousandth of it! However, after one and a half years of training, I have indeed observed a lot of alchemy techniques and superb skills."
Alchemy, so if you have the opportunity to stand next to the alchemy furnace and refine alchemy in the future, the experience you have experienced in the past year and a half will definitely play a role in getting twice the result with half the effort!"
Shi Hongye nodded and continued: "In just one and a half years, you have advanced to another level, which is really commendable! However, you are still only in the Qi training stage, and the Yang fire in your body is still weak, not enough to control the alchemy.
The fire of the earth's veins, after you complete the foundation building, I will teach you the great way of alchemy!"
Lin Feng bowed and said, "Thank you, Master!"
Shi Hongye glanced at the four people with his eyes, sat upright and said: "If you have any questions, just ask them later."
Xiao Heng and the other four shook their heads one after another. Lin Feng raised his head and glanced at Shi Hongye, as if he was hesitant to speak. Shi Hongye smiled and said, "Feng'er, tell me what you have to say!"
Lin Feng cleared his throat and said in a low voice: "The disciple once read an ancient book, which recorded several legendary elixirs, one of which was called "Nine-stamens Tianshen". The disciple felt it was very mysterious, and later found out
There is no record of this magical medicine in all the ancient books. I wonder if Master has heard of it?"
Shi Hongye pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head. He twirled his beard and said slowly: "I think I have read a vast number of alchemy books, and I have seen a lot of weird elixirs, but what you said
This kind of Nine-stamen Heavenly Ginseng is really unheard of!"
After a moment of pause, Shi Hongye continued: "Any elixir will never be named randomly. Since this medicine contains the word "Heaven", it must mean that it is not a mortal plant, because from the cultivation materials
It is said that the word "Heaven" is a higher-level existence than the word "Xuan". If such a thing really exists in the world, I am afraid it should not be born in this world."
Lin Feng was shocked, raised his head and asked in astonishment: "Master, what do you mean, is this object may come from a higher plane?"
Shi Hongye hummed: "Nine out of ten things in legends may not exist. Some elixirs are often imagined by some monks. No one dares to make a conclusion before seeing the real thing."
Lin Feng immediately became silent, thinking that the Nine-stamen Heavenly Ginseng was not a legendary thing, but a strange plant bred by the Xumi Illusion Ring. It was absorbed into Lin Feng's body and then grew into a fairy net with great magical powers!
Seeing that the four disciples were silent, Shi Hongye changed his tone and said to them: "Okay, since there is nothing more to ask, I want to announce something now."
The four disciples immediately stood up straight, and Shi Hongye continued: "The news came from the Qingdan Sect's chief helm that the Yin Demon Sect will launch a large-scale operation in the near future, and the major forces in the southern Guangdong cultivation world are in an undercurrent.
In a period of stability, a war is inevitable, and our Qingdan Sect must be fully prepared!"
Lin Feng and the other four were shocked when they heard this, and they all looked at each other in confusion. Shi Hongye continued unhurriedly: "From today on, our alchemy room at the helm will stop its external refining business.
No more pills will be sold to outsiders,
There are a large amount of elixir materials accumulated in the warehouse, which I prepared in advance for a rainy day. Now your task is to refine all those materials into elixirs as soon as possible, so that when the war breaks out, we will make a lot of money.
Pen!"
Lin Feng and the four of them all felt that it made sense, and nodded tacitly to each other. Shi Hongye paused and then said: "In addition, something big may happen in Muyun City recently. I heard that Taiyi Sect and Fuyun Sect are two
A big sect, it spent a lot of money to acquire many shops in Muyun City a few days ago, and it seems that it also intends to set up a branch here.
These two major sects have their own strengths as our Qingdan Sect. Logically speaking, there is no conflict of interest, let alone commercial competition, but in fact this is not the case. The so-called Qingdan Sect is good at refining alchemy, and the Taiyi Sect is good at refining weapons.
Fuyun Sect is good at making talismans, and Tianji Sect is good at setting up formations. This is actually a general term.
The four arts of cultivation are originally interlinked. As long as the virtual spirit root reaches a certain qualification point, you generally have the prerequisites to practice the four arts! If there is strong financial support, various sects can also cultivate a large number of the four arts.
Experts, such as our Qingdan Sect, have many weapon refiners, talisman makers, and formation masters. Naturally, other sects also have alchemists.
Sects practice all four arts. Even the three sects of Beast Controlling Sect, Hehuan Sect, Ghost Spirit Sect, Demon Sect, Sword Sect, Buddha Sect, etc. all have their own unique insights on the four arts of cultivation, but overall
Generally speaking, the four major sects have achieved the highest achievements in the four arts of cultivation.
Therefore, once Taiyi Sect and Fuyun Sect set up a branch in Muyun City, the profits of our Qingdan Sect will definitely be affected. Although they will not sell spiritual pills in a big way on the surface, they can still do it secretly.
"
Xiao Heng seemed to understand Shi Hongye's intention, so he asked tentatively: "The task assigned to us by the chief helm is to sell a certain number of treasures, talismans, and magic circles every month, and earn corresponding profits.
, we are already overwhelmed, if Taiyi Sect and Fuyun Sect come here to set up a branch, won’t it make things even worse?”
Shi Hongye let out a long sigh: "Alas, the weapon refiners, talisman makers, formation masters, and Taoist craftsmen of our sect are too mediocre, and the finished products they produce are crude and crude. How can anyone be willing to come and ask for help? From the beginning.
In the end, we never completed this task, and each time we spent our own money to buy the inferior goods assigned by the chief helm."
Xiao Heng asked again: "Master is very skilled in alchemy. He left Qingdan Sect a long time ago to start a new kitchen. Although it is called Qingdan Sect in name, he is actually completely self-financed. Disciples think that we don't need to do everything."
They all follow the chief helm, and we will send them back the spiritual talismans, treasures, magical formations, etc. they distributed from now on along the same route."
Shi Hongye shook his head: "You think too simply! If that's the case, why do you have to swallow your anger as a teacher? If you want to gain a foothold in Muyun City, you can't do it without a strong background!
As long as we have the word Qingdan Sect above our heads, the general forces will not offend us easily. In order to maintain its dignity, Qingdan Sect will not stand idly by when we encounter troubles that we are unable to solve. This is
It is a mutually exploiting dependence relationship. If we do not handle it carefully, once that delicate balance is broken, we will probably be the ones who suffer the most."
Xiao Heng bowed: "Master, what you mean is that we can only accept it?"
Shi Hongye coughed: "I have spread the word among the disciples of the branch. If anyone has a way to deal with the finished products assigned by the chief helm, I will give him a copy of the "Qingdan Secret Sutra" of our sect!
"
Xiao Heng and the other three people exclaimed almost at the same time: "Qing Dan Secret Scripture? Qing Dan Sect's ancestral treasure book that collects the secrets of elixir cultivation and alchemy refining? The treasure that the Yin Demon Sect tried every possible means to obtain, and the master really intends to teach it to
disciple?"
Shi Hongye nodded: "When I was in charge of our medicine refining hall, the mother copy of the Qing Dan Secret Scripture was already in my hands. The disciple with the highest alchemy skills was in charge of the Qing Dan Secret Scripture. No one can change this.
It is one of the sect rules, so even if the ancestors of Qingdan Sect are extremely reluctant, it is not easy to violate the ancestral precepts.
However, the Secret Scripture of Qingdan can only be passed on to direct disciples, so whoever disposes of those finished products will first become my direct disciple, and then get the Secret Scripture of Qingdan! Of course, you three are already my direct disciples
, as long as the conditions are met, you can still get the secret sutra of Qing Dan."
Xiao Heng and the other three fell silent immediately. Everyone frowned and looked thoughtful. They seemed to be thinking about how to get rid of the finished products. Shi Hongye continued: "Due to the low quality of those finished products,
So when the boss delivered it, he reduced the price to 30% off, and I reduced it by another 20% off. So for a finished product of the same level, our price is half lower than other places, but in terms of efficiency and power,
