Time flies, and two months have passed. It is still the valley of Jiayi, but it is not relying on the stream, but under the mountain peak inside the valley, there is a winding path spreading into the mountain.
There, there is a cave mansion, the stone gate of this cave is blue, surrounded by clouds and mist, standing here overlooking the valleys, not only has more spiritual energy, and even in the belly of the mountain, there is a fire vein guided by a man of great power.
This place was the cave mansion bestowed by the sect after Meng Hao became an alchemist.
Only the alchemist can live in the middle of the mountain, separate from the medicine boy in the valley, enjoy the treatment of the alchemist by the sect, and let the medicine boy be an assistant, and even a lot of pill and medicinal herbs , Zongmen will provide paid.
The only thing that needs to be done is to turn in a certain amount of pill every month.
However, if you want to get some rare herbs and pill prescriptions, you need to turn over a larger number of pills to the sect. In short, the more you get, the more you can get from the sect.
Even after becoming an alchemy master, they can exchange things with each other. In short, all actions are to make oneself more proficient in alchemy and the quality of the alchemy is higher.
On this day, there was a roar in Meng Hao’s cave. Even if it was blocked by a stone gate, the sound was heard far away, but the medicine boy in the valley below, no one dared to say anything, just looked up When Meng Hao Dongfu, he brought helplessness and envy.
In the past two months, since Meng Hao became an alchemist, such roars have been heard from time to time.
In the cave, Meng Hao looked at the pill furnace exploded in front of him with a wry smile, sighed, and flicked his sleeves, put away the fragments of the pill furnace and the abandoned medicine slag, frowned and sat cross-legged on one side. On the stone platform.
"This alchemy is not an easy task, especially the control of the earth fire is slightly deviated. The pill will be useless, but the pill furnace will collapse. In the past two months, forty-seven pill furnaces have been blown up..." Meng Hao was wearing a suit. The cyan robe, with a small alchemy furnace embroidered on the cuffs, this suit represents his identity as an alchemist.
"But it's getting better right now. It usually takes only three or two days to explode one." Meng Hao turned his head and looked at the seven or eight pill bottles beside him, with a touch of relief in his eyes. The pills in these pill bottles are all he Meng Hao was very happy with the feeling he personally cultivated in the past two months.
"Alchemy is not easy, it has to do with qualifications, but more importantly... This alchemy is too expensive, no wonder there are few alchemists..." Meng Hao's expression showed emotion. When he was in Medicine Boy, he didn't have these feelings, even if he followed Li What Tao sees is also respected by outsiders, and every time Li Tao refines alchemy for the inner disciples, there is a scene of gains.
But after he truly became an alchemist, he discovered that behind every completed alchemist, there are mountains of spiritual stones consumed. Only in this way can they be cultivated. This still requires aptitude. If there is no aptitude or ordinary, then he must become Alchemist, the spirit stone needed can ruin a small sect.
"One pill furnace requires 20,000 spiritual stones... This is the lowest level pill furnace in the sect, and now I have exploded forty-seven..." Meng Hao thought of this, even though this pill furnace does not require him to spend money, but Also feel distressed.
"Pill furnace is only one aspect. The herbs needed for alchemy are even more expensive. Often dozens of herbs are added together, which is of great value, but these are not much. What is really terrible is... the possibility of successful refining is unexpected. Not once in ten times..." Meng Hao let out a long sigh of thought.
"The more precious the herb, the more ancient the pill, and the higher the quality of the pill, the more failures will be." Meng Hao murmured with emotion.
"However, after becoming an alchemist, there are corresponding special features, such as this token." Meng Hao raised his right hand and patted it on the storage bag, and a white token immediately appeared in his hand.
Holding this token in his hand, it was cold, like jade but not jade. On the front of it was carved a pill furnace, and on the back was a vigorous and powerful word "forbidden" written on it.
"Forbidden alchemy!" Meng Hao looked at the token with a strange light. This is not the first time he has played with this token in two months. Respect.
This is a forbidden elixir. After every medicine boy becomes an elixir, he will be issued by the sect. There is only one edict in his life, and one elixir can be used twice, and every time it is used, the honor of the alchemist will be displayed. To the extreme, it was enough to shock the disciples of the Ziqi pulse.
It can even be said that there are many reasons why the alchemist has a high status in the purple luck sect. It is because of the prohibition of alchemy. This order is a powerful deterrent for many people.
Because this forbidden elixir has only one effect, once it is used, it can allow a certain purple energy line of inner disciples to make alchemy for a hundred years, which is equivalent to adding it to the list of forbidden alchemy.
This order has been in existence for thousands of years. It is the gate rule of the Zi Yunzong, and it is unique to the Dandong line. It is because of the existence of this order that the status of the alchemist is extremely high in the Zi Yunzong.
No one is willing to offend an alchemist too much, offend one alchemist, so the existence of Ling would be tantamount to offending all alchemists.
But throughout the past millennium, not many alchemists have actually used this right. Counting it, there were only a few hundred people on the list of forbidden practices during the most recent millennium. Compared with the tens of thousands of Inner Sect disciples, it is really not much.
After all, this order is the most deterrent to the alchemist if it is not used. Once it is used twice, the deterrence will naturally disappear.
The names of all the people who have been forbidden to practice for a hundred years are branded in this forbidden elixir. Meng Hao has become an alchemist. While enjoying this privilege, he must also fulfill his respect for this token as an alchemist. The thirteen people here are those who have been banned by thirteen alchemists in the past one hundred years. Here, Meng Hao, when the names of these people are on the banned list, they cannot be alchemy for these thirteen people.
After taking a look at the elixir forbidden, Meng Hao put it away, pondered for a moment, and took out another jade slip. After being branded inside, the slip was thrown out. The jade slip burned in the air and disappeared in an instant.
After a short time, there was a voice coming from outside the cave. Meng Hao raised his right hand with a finger, and immediately the door of the cave opened. From outside, a young girl walked into the cave. She looked eighteen or nine years old and looked pretty. He wrinkled his nose, as if choked by the smell of fried pill in this room.
"Master Fang, I was still wondering yesterday, why you haven't changed the pill furnace for several days..." the girl said, took out a brand new pill furnace from the storage bag, and smiled and handed it to Meng Hao.
This girl’s name is Lin Rui, and she is responsible for all the daily tasks of the alchemist. Although her cultivation level is not high, it is said that her ancestor was a certain purple furnace alchemist. In addition, this girl is not annoying on weekdays, and even There are some alchemists who still have the meaning of admiration for this woman.
Like Meng Hao, she has come forty-six times in the past two months, and today is the forty-seventh time.
Meng Hao gave a dry cough, and felt a little embarrassed. After taking away the pill furnace, the girl handed over a jade slip.
"How much do I owe?" Meng Hao glanced at Yu Jian, frowning.
"Counting today, a total of 6,758 pills of Qi Condensation Pills need to be handed over to the sect." The girl blinked, and she smiled, and continued to say comfortingly.
"It's okay, you don't owe too much. The most you owe is 1.73 million. It is estimated that... I will continue to refine alchemy in my life..."
Hearing this number, Meng Hao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and sighed bitterly. After becoming an alchemy master, pill furnace, medicinal herbs, and prescriptions do not need to spend money. You can give as many sects as you need, but It wasn't that I didn't pay, but that it was compensated by refining pill. Fortunately, I could owe it... After Meng Hao took the jade slip and branded it on the board, he handed it to the girl.
"Master Fang is going to work hard, that... the days of paying the pill this time are over, do you think I should take out some more, so I can explain it." Lin Rui smiled like a flower, no wonder she was like this. Among the alchemists of Dandong's line, she saw that the youngest was the Fang Mu in front of her. Every time she came here, she had to tease a few words, especially the red and shy face of Fang Mu, which made this girl interested. More.
Meng Hao sighed, picked up a pill bottle next to him, which contained five condensing pill, and handed it to the girl. This was the first time he turned in a pill.
The girl hid her mouth and left with the pill bottle. Meng Hao watched the girl. As the door of the cave closed, he picked up the pill furnace and sighed again.
"It won't work if this continues, but with my alchemy level, in the past two months, no inner disciples of the purple energy line came to me for alchemy, so there is no profit, and there is no way to achieve differences in this way. The alchemy." When Meng Hao followed Li Tao, he had also seen a lot of how the alchemist practiced.
One of the most important points is that you are invited to practice alchemy by disciples of the inner sect of the purple energy line. In this way, you can get in touch with different alchemy recipes. The more you invite, the more you will be in contact with alchemy recipes. After a long time, your own alchemy skills will naturally slowly Improve, after all, the herbs needed are not purchased from the sect, and it is not distressed to use it. At the same time, such alchemy is paid, and the harvest is not cheap.
As for the deduction, it has become the rule, and it is hard to say anything about it.
Meng Hao took a deep breath, put down the pill furnace, took the medicine bottles next to him, opened them one by one, looked at the pill inside, each of these pill was round and exuding aura, Meng Hao looked at it. Slowly frowned.
"Could it be that my method of refining is wrong, otherwise, why is it so exhausting every time in the past two months, but I see Li Tao refining alchemy, but it is much simpler." After walking a few laps, he stopped and his eyes flashed.
When the right hand was raised, the pill furnace came out from the air. He showed his essence and slapped his storage bag. A dozen kinds of herbs flew out. His hands hurried away, sometimes catalyzing, sometimes taking leaves, sometimes condensing juice, that is, For more than ten breathing times, all these herbs were blended into the pill furnace in one shot.
Lifting his right foot to the ground and lightly stepping on it, the ground in front of him was instantly red. When the high temperature was pressing, the pill furnace hung three inches above the red floor tiles, as Meng Hao's pinch tactics continued to hit. This pill furnace was sometimes elevated and sometimes lower, bursts of medicinal fragrance spreading.
At the moment when the fragrance of medicine was released, Meng Hao sat down cross-legs, raised his right hand and pressed it on the pill furnace. When he closed his eyes, aura appeared in his body and started to catalyze.
This catalysis was known to Meng Hao when he followed Li Tao. In addition to catalyzing the meticulous ageing of medicine, more... is needed for alchemy.
From time to time, Meng Hao's eyes flashed, adjusting according to the changes in the pill furnace, either adding herbs or taking out the residue. In the past, Meng Hao needed at least five or six hours to refine the pill, but this time, he It lasted only two hours, his eyes flickered, he retracted his right hand, flicked his big sleeve, and moved the pill furnace from the red floor tiles. When the pill cover moved, when the fragrance of the medicine was blowing, Meng Hao took it out of the pill furnace. Four condensing pills were taken.
These four pills were originally soft, but quickly formed after being taken out. When Meng Hao took them to his eyes, they were already air-dried.
"I was wrong..." Meng Hao carefully looked at the pill that was crudely refined by himself, and took the Qi Condensing Pill that he had worked so hard to refine from the side of the medicine bottle. The two were compared. Underneath, there was a clear understanding in his eyes.
"The medicinal pill that I refined and refined, and I was exhausted, is obviously much better, and it can achieve 70 to 80 percent of the efficacy, while the crudely refined pill is ordinary. It is only the use of those herbs. Three to four percent look."
"That's why I worked extremely hard before refining, and I was also very hard. If I had refined the alchemy as I did today, where would I have used so many pill furnaces?" Meng Hao thoughtfully put away the Qi Condensing Pill.
"However, the gap is so large, nearly doubled... This should be related to the refining time, but it is unlikely that there is too much connection. After all, I have also seen Li Tao refining the pill that he needs, it seems There is no such obvious difference from what he refined for others."
Meng Hao frowned, his eyes flashed suddenly while he was pondering.
"Could it be that it has something to do with my perfect foundation building, because my spiritual power is different from that of others, not returning to this world, but imprinting my own mark, so I can sweep and build the foundation with five pedestals. When I came to refine the pill, I was also tainted with this kind of aura... And the reason I exploded the pill furnace was because the pill that I refined was perfect?" Meng Hao's eyes brightened sharply and he pondered carefully for a long time, and he felt more like himself. The judgment is correct.
While he was meditating, Meng Hao's complexion suddenly changed, and he looked down at his Universe Pouch. In the blood-colored mask in that Universe Pouch, there was a faint voice of skin freezing at this moment, and it instantly appeared in Meng Hao's mind.
"I can't do it anymore, I can't support you to continue to change, damn me, I know I can't give others the power to change, Meng Hao, I'm going to shed my skin, it's over, one month, I need one month, you have to... be careful Some… "
The skin's voice became weaker and weaker, and when it finally disappeared completely, Meng Hao's face showed its true face if there was water passing by.
But at this moment, outside Meng Hao's cave, Chu Yuyan's voice came!
"Fang Mu, open your cave, I'm looking for something to do with you!"
