After hurriedly passing through the Cold Valley, he came to the ancient palace and saw the beautiful elder staring at him coldly with an angry look on his face.
"What time is it now?" Elder Lingxin stood in front of the hall with a gloomy face.
Chu Chen scratched his head subconsciously. He didn't understand why this fickle elder looked angry. He was still on time
"Disciple is stupid, please let me know clearly from the elders." As a last resort, Chu Chen had no choice but to bow.
"Yesterday I asked you to come at the quarter of the hour. Look at yourself, how late you are!" The beautiful elder pointed to her side, "At the quarter of the hour, I lit this incense stick, and now it has been burned to 100%. That is Say, you’re five fingertips late!”
Elder Lingxin stared at Chu Chen, his expression getting colder and colder, "What is the concept of five fingers? If in a battle, five fingers are delayed, even if you die ten times, it will not be enough. If you boil a furnace of pills, No matter whether it is burned too much or too little, it is enough to make a good potion of elixir lose its medicinal properties and be ruined. "
Elder Lingxin was overly serious, which surprised Chu Chen.
In fact, the rules for the outer disciples of Biquan Immortal Sect are extremely loose. As long as the members paid enough monthly prescription medicines, the sect did not have too many restrictions at other times. As a result, many outer disciples developed extremely lazy and careless temperaments.
The road to immortality is an extremely boring one. If you have to do this and that exactly on time every day, how many people can bear it
Chu Chen has been traveling around for many years and is extremely self-disciplined. He is one of the few outer disciples who has the habit of being punctual. This time, he was delayed for a moment because he was looked for by the outer eldest brother.
"What the elder teaches is that the disciples should keep it in mind in the future and never do it again." Chu Chen gave a respectful salute. Now he finally realized how strict this beautiful elder is. It's no wonder that he has such a harsh character. , I’m afraid not many people can bear it.
"Next time you're late again, you don't have to come over!" Seeing Chu Chen's humble attitude, the beautiful elder's expression softened slightly, "Okay, today I'm going to start a furnace to refine a new batch of elixirs. Now, just start from Let’s start learning the most basic cleaning methods!”
When he really started to study, Chu Chen discovered that the trivial matter of refining medicine was so complicated that it was unimaginable if the procedures were detailed.
Not to mention anything else, it’s just washing, soaking and dividing the medicine. There are many things that need to be paid attention to. In addition, Elder Lingxin is strict with others and himself. In order to make every batch of elixirs have the maximum effect, he pays attention to every detail in the process of refining the elixirs. They are all under extremely strict control, and nothing is wrong.
At the beginning, because Chu Chen was not familiar with the process of washing medicine, he would be coldly reprimanded by Elder Lingxin almost every once in a while.
Chu Chen would not take these reprimands to heart, but would remember every mistake and inaccuracy he made, because he knew very well that refining medicine was a skill that required basic skills.
If you don't have strong basic skills, you won't be able to be a successful pharmacist at all.
With the existence of a "teacher" who demands perfection like Elder Lingxin, Chu Chen would naturally not care about her harshness, and would follow her instructions without saying a word, making himself more and more perfect step by step.
Chu Chen felt like a sponge, constantly absorbing every bit of knowledge and skills passed down to him by Elder Lingxin, and unknowingly, he gradually started his own path to become a spiritual medicine master.
"This kid is quite a talent."
Elder Lingxin felt very satisfied when he saw Chu Chen's meticulous appearance. Not to mention other things, no matter how much I scolded him, he never talked back, but instead tried his best to make continuous progress. With this kind of character alone, his future achievements would be limitless.
Since becoming an elder, Lingxin has seen too many disciples. Because they are young and full of energy, they cannot bear the slightest grievance. If they say one word to them, he can say ten words in reply.
Elder Lingxin was naturally experienced in dealing with such disciples, so he sent two words of "fuck off" and walked out.
On the contrary, Chu Chen's temperament is like a piece of pure gold. The process of making it is also a process of constant cutting and tempering.
Although this process is like enduring personal pain, one day, after going through countless hardships, it will shine with unparalleled light!
Elder Lingxin always regarded the disciples who came to take over the task as passers-by, but he found that he couldn't help but look forward to the future of this young man, whether it was a spiritual medicine master or a cultivation path.
On the other hand, Chu Chen, an alchemy apprentice who was doing high-intensity "physical work", gradually discovered that this ancient alchemy palace, because of the strong fragrance of medicine that it exudes all year round, is a collection of countless furnace-made elixirs. The essence of the medicine is densely packed and has great benefits for the human body.
Chu Chen, who was working in this ancient palace, even if he didn't deliberately practice, still felt that there was a faint medicinal power in the air that was subtly changing his body, strengthening his flesh and bones.
This process, although slow, is happening all the time.
Even the spiritual energy that he had cultivated to the ninth level of the spiritual energy realm had subtly become more concentrated and thicker under the influence of these medicinal powers. This ancient medicine refining palace is truly a treasure!
It seems that I will look for more opportunities in the future and come to work, which should be particularly effective in strengthening my body.
Time passed quickly. When Chu Chen finished all the things at hand and cleaned up the ancient palace, he looked up and found that the sky outside had darkened unknowingly.
After a busy day, the beautiful teacher’s preparatory steps for refining the medicine have basically been completed.
Just the preliminary preparations for refining the medicine took a whole day. If other alchemists looked at it, they would probably think it was too long.
It seems that only Elder Lingxin, who pursues perfection in everything, can be so meticulous. At the same time, Chu Chen also understood that it was Elder Lingxin who deliberately slowed down the pace so that he could learn the basic skills well.
"Okay, tomorrow at a quarter of a hour, when the sky and the earth turn from night to day, and the yin and yang are in harmony, the furnace will be started to refine the medicine. You should go back early today, so as not to be late tomorrow and delay my time."
Seeing that all the preparations were busy, Elder Lingxin nodded and threw out a small porcelain bottle, which was caught by Chu Chen, "This is your reward for today. Remember, you are not allowed to be late tomorrow. ”
"Disciple, please remember." Chu Chen took the elixir and couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue. In the entire Biquan Immortal Sect, I am afraid that only Elder Lingxin, who is a master of alchemy, can be so generous. He can take out a small bottle of pills and give them to his disciples every day.
This small white porcelain bottle can hold about three elixirs. If they are all first-level ordinary spirit-gathering elixirs, this amount will be really incredible after one month!
At the same time, Chu Chen also discovered that Elder Lingxin, who seemed extremely strict, was also very considerate of others. He knew that he needed the Spirit Gathering Pill and threw it directly to him without saying anything.
