A bright smile can't catch Chen Guhong's soul, because he has seen the stunning beauty of this world, and seen the beauty of this world. If you really want to hook Chen Guhong's soul, I'm afraid there is only the fairy in the sky, Chang'e in Guanghan.
Not to mention gossip, there are twenty-four steps in the corridor, and it will be finished quickly. After walking through the corridor, there are two gates, the gates are engraved with complex patterns in red, and there are two words.
On one door is "Dan", and on the other door is "Medicine". The font is simple and simple, with profound charm. It is easy to think of the broad and profound aspects of the way of elixir.
Even Chen Guhong respected this great way.
The welcoming beauty pushed open the door and asked: "If you go inside, I won't be able to go in. I wish you success."
"Thank you." Chen Guhong nodded and walked in with his head held high. Still calm and leisurely, walking like a dragon and a tiger. Falling into the eyes of the welcoming beauty, there is another air.
After entering the gate, it is another world. I saw that the interior decoration of these three floors is simple and simple, and it looks elegant and dignified everywhere. There is a pill furnace in the middle, which is bronze in color and simple in appearance, with the scent of green herbs surging from the tip of the nose, as if it came from inside the pill furnace.
Smell it, it makes the whole body comfortable, the pores are relaxed, and the spirit is refreshed. The dullness on Chen Guhong's body was washed away, and he became energetic again.
"This alchemy furnace is the teacher's first alchemy furnace. There are countless alchemy, the fragrance of the medicine remains, and it has the effect of enlightenment." At this moment, a hearty voice sounded.
Chen Guhong turned his head to look, and saw a man kneeling behind a desk, the man was in his thirties. The clothes that Mianbai Wuxu was wearing were also sleeve robes, and he wore an ancient crown on his head, which looked very elegant.
When you smile, you reveal heartiness. It made Chen Guhong very fond of him.
"Who are you?" Chen Guhong couldn't help asking, cupping his hands.
"My name is Xue Taoyuan, and I am the teacher's disciple." Xue Taoyuan smiled, and then said: "If you pass the test successfully, then I will be your senior brother."
"I see."
Chen Guhong suddenly smiled.
"What kind of test method?" Chen Guhong asked straight to the point.
"It's simple." Xue Taoyuan smiled slightly, then turned back, facing a blank picture scroll on the wall. Asked: "Do you see any stars in this scroll?"
There is a painting hanging on the wall, but the inside of the painting is blank. This is very weird, but Xue Taoyuan asked whether there are stars in this painting. Chen Guhong knew it was not that simple.
Open your eyes and look. It was still white. Chen Guhong smiled slightly, mortals don't seem to be so attractive to the naked eye. Therefore, Chen Guhong sank into the purple mansion and looked at it with his soul.
Those two chopstick-sized carp souls. The fish eyes widened immediately. The world is spinning. The white painting suddenly changed, as if people were in the universe, and there were stars in front of them, glowing with various colors of light, and the stars competed for brilliance.
"Yes." Chen Guhong said calmly.
"Congratulations, your comprehension is good, and you have passed the first level." Xue Taoyuan smiled congratulatingly.
"The first level?" Chen Guhong was surprised. Is there still three levels. Four passes, ten passes? Xue Taoyuan nodded slightly. He smiled and said: "It is indeed the first test. If you can see that there are stars in it, it proves that a cultivator has good comprehension. But if you want to be an alchemist, this comprehension alone is not enough, and you need a certain amount of eyesight, and Greater understanding."
"And the pass rate of this first pass is 50%. That is to say, among the three or four hundred people who came up just now, one or two hundred people passed. The next step is a checkpoint like a natural moat."
Xue Taoyuan sighed slightly, and said with emotion: "It is this level that stumps many people and proves that only a few people can become alchemists."
This is difficult, Chen Guhong has already heard that his ears are full of cocoons. Therefore, he is not interested in Xue Taoyuan's exclamation, but interested in this vision. Asked: "I understand understanding, but why do you have eyesight?"
"Not only eyesight, but also a very keen sense of smell. Because there are countless kinds of herbs in this world, some of which are similar or even identical, with only subtle differences. Cause irreparable damage. Therefore, identifying the medicine is the most important thing for alchemists. Not only the eyesight, the sense of smell, but sometimes even the feeling, which is very complicated."
"That's why only a few people can become alchemists."
Finally, Xue Taoyuan made a summary.
"So that's how it is." Chen Guhong suddenly realized that this was to prevent more quack doctors from appearing in the world. Then he asked: "What level?"
"Look at how many stars and colors there are in this painting?" Xue Taoyuan asked again, pointing at the scroll behind him. For Chen Guhong's straightforwardness and elegance, it's just his nature.
He does that to anyone. As for Chen Guhong's passing, he didn't expect much, and even became numb. Because he had met three hundred people just now, and none of them could speak correctly.
Because there are as many stars in this painting as a cow's hair, and the colors are even more numerous. It is by no means the simple blue, yellow, white and purple colors in the eyes of mortals, but the colors in the eyes of immortals are infinitely changing.
Subtle transformations are one of a kind.
Only by being able to see all the stars and all the colors in this painting can one become an alchemy apprentice. This is the natural moat, the natural moat that has wiped out most people.
"I think I looked at the opposite side of this painting for half an hour before I could distinguish all the stars and colors in detail. It was almost brushed off because it took too long. It can be described as thrilling."
"Even if he can see it, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time."
Xue Taoyuan thought.
Thinking of this, Xue Taoyuan picked up a bowl of hot tea on the table and took a sip. This is the best tea, and drinking this small cup can increase your morality and improve your mind.
It is tea that requires a lot of immortal stones to buy, and ordinary immortals cannot drink it. But as an alchemy apprentice, just an apprentice, he can have three cups a day.
And this is just one of the various benefits, just like what ordinary cultivators say, once you become an alchemy apprentice, you will jump into the dragon's gate, and your status will vary greatly.
However, in Xue Taoyuan's eyes, the paintings need to be carefully distinguished, and even take half an hour to sort out the clues, but in Chen Guhong's eyes, they are clear at a glance.
Just like a painting with "one", "two" and "three" written smoothly, there is no need to distinguish carefully, Chen Guhong replied: "There are one hundred and eight thousand stars in the painting, one million and six A thousand and fifty-three colors."
"Pfft!" Xue Taoyuan spurted out the top-quality tea that he had just drank, and Xue Taoyuan exclaimed in surprise, "No one told you the number of stars and colors?"
Every elixir shop has this apprentice test every year, and the method is the same. And there are many people who participated, and some passed.
In order to prevent predecessors from leaking, the number of stars and colors changes every test. Only before the test, the alchemist will be sure, and then only the teacher and he will know.
So as soon as he exclaimed these words, Xue Taoyuan knew he was stupid. He didn't leak it, and the teacher certainly wouldn't.
Then this person is very good, so good that he is ashamed.
It took him half an hour!
