The water refining method has many advantages, but it also has many disadvantages. Qin Yan has dual spiritual roots of fire and wood. He is a natural alchemist and is good at fire refining. In his opinion, whether it is the water refining method or the fire refining method, as long as the pill can be refined, it is fine. It is miscellaneous and not refined. There is no need to spend too much time specializing in other alchemy methods.
In addition to refining pills, he also had to practice, instead of sitting around doing nothing every day and studying other methods of refining pills.
Of course, there are people who covet the benefits of the water refining method and want to learn the water refining method. This is not surprising, but Qin Yan will not do that. The fire refining method and the water refining method are the same. It is enough to be able to refine pills.
Han Changming smiled bitterly and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, you are joking. It would be great if I knew the water refining method. I just talked with fellow Daoist Murong Bo of your sect and I am a little interested in the water refining method. I thought that fellow Daoist Qin also knew the water refining method, so I asked this question."
Strictly speaking, he only knew the basics. If he could learn the water refining method, he could maximize the effectiveness of the Taiyi Hualing Gourd. Of course, he also needed a recipe, otherwise all this would be in vain. A good cook cannot cook without rice.
Qin Yan suddenly realized and said with a smile: "So that's how it is. Junior Brother Murong has indeed been learning the water refining method recently. I have heard him talk about this, but I am not interested in the water refining method."
There are many second-level alchemists in Sihai Palace who are interested in the water refining method. Qin Yan was also interested in the water refining method at the beginning, but after studying it for a while, he gave up because it was too difficult.
"Water refining method? I have heard of it. This method of alchemy is more difficult, but the quality of the pills made by the water refining method is better. Many alchemists I know are interested in this method, but no one can succeed. In the final analysis, alchemy requires a recipe. Without the recipe, no matter what method you use, it will be useless. Even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice!"
Long Yaowen said with a smile. He didn't find it strange. There were many alchemists who specialized in water refining methods.
"The quality of the pills made by the water refining method is indeed good, but the difficulty of refining is too high, and the quality of the spiritual water added is too poor. No matter how high your alchemy level is, the quality of the pills will not be very good. However, spiritual water is something that is naturally grown. The pills made by the water of spiritual wells and springs are not much better. The fire refining method is better. As long as you have all the spiritual herbs, you can start refining pills. In my opinion, as long as the alchemy level is high enough, the pills made by the fire refining method are not worse than those made by the water refining method. In the final analysis, it depends on the alchemist's alchemy level."
Qin Yan disagreed. The water refining method had relatively high requirements for spiritual water. Could it be that there were many alchemists
In his opinion, this is putting the cart before the horse. The quality of a batch of pills should be determined by the alchemist's level of alchemy. Of course, the materials cannot be too bad, but it is unnecessary to pay too much attention to the materials.
"That's true. Thank you for your advice." Han Changming nodded with a smile.
After chatting for half an hour, Qin Yan said goodbye and left, and Long Yaowen and others stood up to see him off.
"Fellow Daoist Hu, I will spar with you next time we have the chance. Fellow Daoist Long and Fairy Hongchen, goodbye."
Qin Yan clasped his fists towards everyone, turned around and left, and two cultivators from the Sihai Palace hurriedly followed.
"Fellow Daoist Hu, you really opened my eyes today. I didn't expect there is someone like you in Golden Dragon City."
Long Yaowen said with a smile, his tone warm.
Han Changming's alchemy skills are not low, but he comes from a small family and is not very famous. There are many such examples in the world of immortal cultivation.
There are many people with good talents, but because of their humble backgrounds, they are not well-known. However, once they have achieved success in their studies, they will be far superior to other cultivators. Long Yaowen is the descendant of Master Jinlong, but he is not arrogant because of this. Instead, he is approachable and has made many friends of the same kind.
"Thank you for the compliment, Long Daoyu. Today, after talking with Fellow Daoist Qin, I finally realized that there is always someone better than you. It is my blessing to be able to meet Fellow Daoist Qin, Fellow Daoist Long and Fairy Hongchen." Han Changming complimented.
No matter what, Long Yaowen is the descendant of Master Jinlong.
No matter how many holes there are, flattery will never wear out.
After hearing this, Long Yaowen's eyes flashed with pride, and he said, "Fellow Daoist Hu, you are too polite. If you need help in the future, just give me a call. I can still help you in the market..."
Before he could finish his words, a muffled sound came from his arms, and he took out a palm-sized silver jade plate with runes flashing on the surface. It was obviously not an ordinary object.
He cast a spell and frowned.
"Fellow Daoist Long, if you have something urgent to do, we can make an appointment another day."
Fairy Hongchen said with understanding.
"Okay, let's make an appointment another day. I have something urgent to deal with. I'm really sorry."
Long Yaowen looked apologetic. He offered Han Changming and the other two a cup of tea, then left in a hurry, as if he had something urgent to deal with.
In the blink of an eye, only Hongchen Fairy, Han Changming and Chen Hai were left.
"Finally, I can have a good chat with Fellow Daoist Hu. We couldn't get a word in while you were discussing your experience in alchemy with Fellow Daoist Qin."
Chen Hai smiled innocently and joked.
Han Changming's heart moved, and he asked, "I have heard of the Red Dust Monster Hunting Team for a long time, and I have long wanted to meet Fairy Red Dust, but I never had the chance. Today, I finally met Fairy Red Dust by accident. I will use tea instead of wine to toast you two fellow Taoists."
He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. Fairy Hongchen and Chen Hai quickly returned the toast.
"Fellow Daoist Hu, thank you for your compliment. To be honest, we have all been to the medicine shops in the market town, but we didn't expect the quality of the medicines in Guangyuanju is so good. We will definitely go to Guangyuanju to buy medicines in the future." Fairy Hongchen said enthusiastically, with a somewhat intimate tone.
Han Changming's alchemy skills were not low, and most importantly, he was of ordinary origin. Before Han Changming came, Qin Yan had a stern face and didn't look at her well. Why did she try to please him? It was because Qin Yan was an alchemist.
You know, not all elixirs are sold on the market. Getting to know a second-level alchemist will be beneficial to your personal development.
But then again, most alchemists have arrogant temperaments, and Fairy Hongchen doesn't know how to make alchemy, so she can't talk to them and can only smile at them.
"Thank you very much, Fairy Hongchen. By the way, I heard that Fairy Hongchen is the captain of the Hongchen Monster Hunting Team. When you go out to sea to hunt monsters, if you come across any good things, you can give priority to me, Hu. As long as the things are good enough, the price is not a problem." Han Changming said generously.
The Hongchen Monster Hunting Team is quite famous in the Golden Dragon Sea and often goes out to sea to hunt monsters. Han Changming hopes to win over the Hongchen Fairy and sell the monster pills or elixirs he obtains to her. In return, he can help with refining pills. This time, refining the Wu Yue Pill for Chen Hai is the best proof of this.
"Of course, Brother Hu, don't worry. If I get any good elixir, I will definitely give priority to Brother Hu." Fairy Hongchen agreed without hesitation. This was not a difficult task for her. If she could get elixir or magic pill, she didn't know how to make it, so she could only sell it to shops. It didn't matter who she sold it to. If she could use this opportunity to establish a good relationship with Han Changming, that would be the best.
"By the way, I heard that the Golden Dragon Sea is rich in monster resources. I am quite interested in this. I wonder if Fairy Hongchen can tell me about your trips to the sea to hunt monsters. Of course, if it involves secrets, forget it."
Han Changming changed his tone and asked about hunting monsters.
Fairy Hongchen smiled and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Hu wants to listen, I will tell you about it!"
This was not a difficult task for her. She briefly described her experience of going to sea, what kind of monsters she encountered, how she killed them, and the scenery overseas. Han Changming became eager to go and hunt the monsters immediately.
"Hearing what Fairy Hongchen said, hunting monsters is quite interesting."
Chen Hai showed a bitter face and smiled bitterly: "Friend Hu, you are joking. If we had a skill like you, why would we go out to sea to hunt monsters? You don't know that if we are not careful, we can't come back. Over the years, many of Chen's friends have died at the hands of monsters. Once when we went out to sea, we encountered a third-level monster. We escaped by luck, but I was also seriously injured. Fortunately, I met the captain who rescued me and I survived. Otherwise, I would have died long ago."
At the end, Chen Hai showed an expression of lingering fear on his face.
Han Changming nodded secretly. From what Chen Hai said, he thought that Fairy Hongchen was a good person. They didn't know each other, but she saved the strange cultivator. Of course, this was only Chen Hai's family's opinion, and he couldn't guarantee that Chen Hai was not lying.
"It's all in the past. It's just a piece of cake. Even if I don't save you, I believe other people will help you if they meet you." Fairy Hongchen said modestly.
Han Changming frowned slightly, took out a blue jade plate, and entered a spell. His face changed and he stood up quickly: "I'm sorry, fellow Taoists, I have something urgent to do. I'll take my leave now. See you next time."
"It's okay, Brother Hu, we'll take you there."
After seeing Han Changming off, Fairy Hongchen and Chen Hai continued chatting.
"Tell me what happened to him again, don't miss a word." Fairy Hongchen asked solemnly.
Chen Hai did not dare to be careless and quickly recounted the whole incident.
"Captain, you are not doubting Fellow Daoist Hu, are you? There should be nothing wrong with him! I came to you on my own, not him looking for me." Chen Hai said carefully.
"You must be on guard against others. I admire alchemists the most, but I also fear them the most. Before you know his background, you'd better have less contact with him. We'll be going out to sea in a few days, so it's better to be careful. Evil cultivators have endless tricks, so we have to be on guard."
Fairy Hongchen's face was solemn. The demon hunting team was afraid that their whereabouts would be known by other cultivators, and they would be robbed and killed halfway. This kind of thing was not uncommon.
"Got it. I'll be careful."
Chen Hai agreed without hesitation. He had been in the world of immortal cultivation for so long and knew how dangerous it was.
On the other side, Guangyuanju, backyard.
Han Debiao paced back and forth, looking anxious.
Ye Xin stood aside with her brows furrowed.
"How is it? Changming hasn't come back yet? Didn't he tell you where he went, Ye Xin?"
Han Debiao said with a frown.
"My husband went out with a fellow Taoist. I have already notified him to come back. What happened? Uncle Wu, don't panic. Tell me first." Ye Xin comforted.
Han Debiao sighed softly and said, "Our family has hidden agents in Jinlong City, but they have been hiding in the dark and never contacted me. Before my ninth brother went into seclusion, he told me the contact information. Just now, they contacted me and needed my help to save their lives. I had no choice but to come back to find Changming."
"What happened? Help?" Han Changming's voice suddenly rang out.
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Changming walked in quickly with a serious expression.
"Something happened to your fifteenth uncle and his family. They went out to sea to hunt monsters and were poisoned. They took antidotes but their condition did not improve. I wanted to ask Chang Shuo for help, but he was in seclusion practicing. I couldn't contact him, so I had to come back to you to see if you had any solution."
Han Debiao said anxiously.
"What? Fifteenth uncle, didn't the old man get attacked and passed away? Fifth uncle, you must have seen it wrong!" Han Changming said in surprise.
If he remembered correctly, when his fifteenth uncle and his family were out, they were attacked and killed by monsters. The family also helped to bury his fifteenth uncle with great ceremony. Han Changming remembered this incident very clearly.
Han Debiao smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said seriously: "I didn't see it wrongly. I went to see it myself. It was indeed Uncle Fifteen. They faked their death and stayed in the dark to develop as a hidden force. They followed the order of the clan leader to develop in the Golden Dragon Sea. The family would give them a sum of spiritual stones every year as activity funds. They were responsible for gathering intelligence. Not long ago, they found a few 400-year-old spiritual herbs on a small island. They formed a team to pick them, but they were attacked by monsters on the way and were poisoned. Uncle Fifteen and his men were seriously injured and unconscious."
"I originally wanted to ask Chang Shuo for help, but he happened to be in seclusion, so I had no choice but to come back to you. Chang Ming, you should think of a solution quickly. I have taken all the second-level detoxification pills on the market, and they are useless."
Han Debiao looked anxious and urged.
He was very happy to learn that the two elders were still alive, but the two elders were poisoned. If they could not be saved, they would be no different from being dead.
Han Changming nodded, took out the recipe for Wu Yue Pills, handed it to Ye Xin, and said, "Madam, go to the Spiritual Medicine Shop and buy ten sets of ingredients right away. I need to make Wu Yue Pills to treat Uncle Fifteen and the others. Be quick."
"I understand, husband. I'll buy it right away." Ye Xin agreed and left quickly.
Not long after, Ye Xin came back and Han Changming went straight to the alchemy room.
He took out the Vermillion Bird Furnace and started refining the elixir. Han Changming, who had three times of refining experience, quickly refined a furnace of seven Wu Yue Pills.
He took Wu Yue Wan and went straight to the residences of his two uncles with Han Debiao.
Half a quarter of an hour later, they appeared in a private room of an inn. Two men were lying on the bed with their eyes closed, their breath weak and their faces pale.
"Hurry up and give the two uncles the Wu Yue Wan. Hurry up."
Han Changming took out two Wu Yue pills and fed them to his two uncles, one each.
After taking the Wu Yue Pills, Han Changming handed the remaining Wu Yue Pills to Han Debiao and instructed, "Fifth Uncle, you stay here to look after the two uncles. I will go back to continue refining the Wu Yue Pills. They are too deeply poisoned, and the number of Wu Yue Pills is too small. I am afraid it will be useless."
