"You girl, your luck is quite good." Yuan Li said with a smile, "Actually, under normal circumstances, alchemists use beast fire. Many alchemists will recover possible monsters as contract beasts, and use The beast fire of Warcraft is used for refining medicine. Your little fox, if I read it correctly, should be the Heavenly Fire Fox, and the Heavenly Fire Fox's Heavenly Fire is among the beast fires, and it can be regarded as a top class."
"It seems that Xiaohong is really useful!" Murong nodded knowingly.
After hearing Murong Qingyan's name for Tianhuohu, Yuan Li couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth. This day, Firefox is a natural beast, and when it grows up in the future, it will definitely not be comparable to ordinary beasts. A good beast, but with such a name.
If Xiaohong heard Yuan Li's feelings at this moment, she would definitely be moved to tears. Because finally someone knows her pain for the name.
"By the way, Master, what kind of flame do you use to make alchemy?" Murong asked curiously, "You should be using animal fire too!"
If there is still the existence of divine fire, then the fire of the earth's heart can definitely be felt. As the No. 1 divine fire, the Yan of the Earth's Heart is still very sensitive to the existence of other divine fires.
"Yeah." Yuan Li nodded, then waved his hand.
A huge monster has been appearing in the alchemy room. The appearance of the beast is no different from that of a lion. It has golden-yellow fur and looks majestic, but there is a tuft of white hair on its forehead, which not only does not damage its majesty, but even carries a hint of majesty that makes people surrender.
"White-headed flaming lion." Murong could see what kind of beast this was at a glance, "and it is already a tenth-level beast, and it should be able to cross the robbery and enter the ranks of the divine beast soon."
"Hehe, you girl is quite insightful." With a wave of Yuan Li's hand, he took his contracted beast back into the beast space again, "This white-headed flame lion is a fire-type beast, after I made a contract with it , you can use its beast fire at will."
Murong nodded knowingly, this white-headed flaming lion was a good match for the master. Moreover, this white-headed flame lion is about to become a divine beast, and its beast fire is even better than Xiaohong!
Although Xiaohong is a natural divine beast, after all, she is still young, even if its Skyfire is a top-level existence. There is no way for Xiaohong to use all the power of Skyfire at all.
"Girl, you have to remember that the refining of medicinal pills is very good for an alchemist's spiritual power." Yuan Li continued to explain, "The higher the level of medicinal pills, the more spiritual power an alchemist has. It is also higher. If the mental strength is not enough, there may be an explosion during the alchemy. In severe cases, the alchemy may even destroy people. This is why, among thousands of people, there may not be one You can become an alchemist."
"In the alchemist, different people use different flames, and the level of the flame is also very important for alchemy. The more powerful the flame, the easier it is to refine successfully, and the level of the refined medicine is also It will be higher. Shenhuo is naturally the best choice, but there are only ten types of Shenhuo on the Shenhuo list, and many alchemists may never have the chance to see Shenhuo once in their lifetime.”
"So, at this time, the best choice for alchemists is to contract the beasts of the fire type. After contracting the beasts, the alchemists can use the beast fires of the beasts at will. Of course, if they can't contract the beasts, they can still borrow other beasts. The method is like using the core of the fire-type Warcraft. However, this method will cost more money. Because the core of the good Warcraft may be rare, even if there is, the price is very high. "
When he said this, Yuan Li turned his head and looked at Murong Qingyan, his expression became serious, "Qianyan, you are a very lucky child. It is impossible for ordinary people to see Shenhuo. Things. But at a young age, you already have two kinds of divine fire."
"But I don't want this to be a factor that restricts you. With Shenhuo, it doesn't mean that you will be able to become the top alchemist. To become an alchemist, the most important thing is the basic skills. Keep practicing and you will never fail. Only by learning from experience can we continue to improve.”
"Master, I know what you want to say." Murong nodded, "I won't rely too much on Shenhuo."
She knew that what the master said was not to hit her, but to remind her not to think that she could relax if she had the fire in her hand. If you want to become an alchemist, the most important thing is the technique of alchemy.
"Yeah." Seeing Murong Qingyan's statement, Yuan Li nodded with satisfaction, then picked up a medicinal herb from the table, put it into the medicine cauldron, and then threw it into the flame again, "Qianyan, you are optimistic. The first step in alchemy is to refine medicinal materials."
The flame instantly engulfed the medicinal materials.
"The temperature of the flame must be mastered. Because the properties of various medicinal materials are different, the requirements for the flame are also different for different medicinal materials during refining. Just like this wisteria leaf, when refining, it is necessary to The low temperature melts the fluff around it. If the temperature is high all of a sudden, it will directly destroy the medicinal effect of the wisteria leaves."
Yuanli controlled the flame while explaining the explanation. The wisteria leaves in the medicine tripod slowly turned into a transparent liquid and flowed slowly.
"Send out the spiritual power and feel the changes of the herbs. Remove all the impurities in the herbs, leaving only the pure essence. Then, add the second herb again."
Murong looked at the movements of Yuan Li's hands intently, without even blinking. Although she already knew this step, she still watched it very seriously when Yuan Li demonstrated it.
After the first herb finally turned into liquid, Yuan Li then added the second herb.
"After this second medicinal material is added,..."
Yuan Li continued to demonstrate while explaining. In the alchemy room, only Yuan Li's voice remained. Murong Qingyan watched intently on the side, nodding from time to time.
After all the main herbs for alchemy were refined, Yuanli began to add auxiliary herbs. Auxiliary herbs are much easier to extract than primary herbs.
"After all the medicinal materials are refined, the most important step is to condense the pill. Disperse your spiritual power, then wrap the essence of all the medicinal materials, and finally condense it into a pill."
Yuan Li explained while condensing the pill, "When condensing the pill, the mental power must be highly concentrated. Use your mental power to fuse all the essences together."
The essence of all the medicinal materials in the medicine cauldron was all gathered together, wrapped in it, and surrounded by a flame.
Even if he was just watching from the side, Murong could feel the powerful spiritual power in the medicine cauldron. No wonder if you want to become an alchemist, you must have a strong mental power. If the mental strength is not enough, then the medicinal pill will not only have no way to condense in the end, it may even be scrapped.
Gradually, the inside of the medicine tripod began to emit a strong medicinal fragrance.
"The temperature required for each medicinal material in the medicinal pill is different, so when condensing the medicinal herb, you must pay attention to the control of the heat. If there is any deviation, maybe all medicinal medicinal materials in this pot will be useless The more you get to the end, the more you have to pay attention, so as not to fall short."
While speaking, Yuan Li's movements on his hands did not stop, and he carefully controlled the flames.
"Bang-", a low voice came from inside the medicine tripod.
Yuan Li withdrew the flame, and at this time, in the medicine cauldron, there were several round medicinal pills lying quietly.
"Master, this is a first-grade recuperation pill, isn't it?" Just from the fragrance of the medicine, Murong Qingyan had already figured out what kind of pill was in it.
Although so far, she has not successfully refined the medicinal pill, but from the medicinal fragrance of the medicinal pill, she can still know that this is a first-grade convalescent pill.
"You girl, your nose is quite smart." Yuan Li nodded in appreciation, "This product's recuperation pill is the most basic pill. It can be seen from the medicinal powder you have refined that you are refining medicinal materials. There is nothing wrong with that. The most important thing for you is to learn to condense pills."
"Master, I understand." Murong nodded, "I will practice hard."
Seeing the serious attitude of Murong's face, Yuan Li nodded with satisfaction, "If you can have this kind of consciousness, then it is the best. Practice a lot, I believe you will soon learn to condense pills."
Murong nodded and nodded, and said nothing, just started practicing.
Yuan Li watched Murong's face practicing, and planned that if this little apprentice didn't understand anything, he could give some guidance.
Without any hesitation, Murong Qingyan followed the steps that Yuan Li just demonstrated, step by step, but alchemy. Whether it's refining medicinal herbs or controlling flames, she doesn't act like a freshman at all. All the actions flow smoothly. If it weren't for the fact that he knew in advance, Yuan Li didn't even think that he was standing in front of a freshman. Such an action could only be done by an experienced alchemist.
Time continued to pass, and after all the medicinal materials were refined, Murong Qingyan began to take the final step - condensing the pill. This is also a step that she has never been successful in. Now that she has seen the master's demonstration, she can't wait to try it.
Murong Qingyan carefully used the animal fire to wrap the essence of all the medicinal materials, and then began to use his own mental power to fuse all the essences together.
When she really started to try, she realized that everything was not as simple as she thought. The temperature required by various medicinal materials is different, and the control of the flame must be very precise. At the same time, she took all her thoughts and let herself not think about anything, but concentrated all her mental power on the medicine pill.
Time passed by, and Yuan Li, who was beside him, didn't speak. When he saw Murong Qingyan's skillful movements, he couldn't help but be surprised. When it came to the last step of condensing the pill, he, who had always been stable, actually started to get nervous.
"Ning!" Murong shouted loudly, and then withdrew his flame.
Seeing such a situation, Yuan Li immediately stepped forward, and when he saw a few medicinal pills lying quietly inside the medicine tripod, the corners of his mouth couldn't help cracking, "Okay, you are really good girl. It's beyond my expectations! I didn't expect that you succeeded in one shot, and the quality of this medicine pill is still excellent."
For such a result, Yuan Li was completely unexpected. He had always known that Murong Qingyan's talent was very good, but he never thought that this was just the first time Murong Qingyan succeeded in alchemy. Although before, Murong Qingyan had refined a lot of medicine powder.
But medicine powder and medicinal herbs are always different. The condensing of the medicinal pill is the most difficult step, but now his little apprentice has succeeded in one shot. How could he not be happy with such an unexpected joy
Seeing a few pills lying quietly in the medicine tripod, they were round and shiny, and the smell of the medicine made people feel relaxed and happy.
Although Murong Qingyan didn't say anything, there was still joy in her eyes. She didn't think she would be successful in one go. Moreover, in this experience, she learned a lot. I believe that in the next alchemy, she should be easier.
"You are really a very talented child." Yuan Li couldn't help but praised, "Even me back then couldn't compare to you."
"master!"
"You girl, you can really make people happy at any time!" Yuan Li smiled and praised, but then he continued, "However, Qingyan, even if the refining is successful, you Don’t be proud. For things like alchemy, you need to practice constantly, and you must not be complacent just because of one success. This is not good for your future.”
Although he knew that Murong Qingyan was not such a person, Yuan Li couldn't help but remind him. He finally accepted such a good apprentice, and he naturally hoped that his little apprentice could go further.
"Master, you can rest assured." Murong smiled and assured, "I won't forget who I am because of one success."
"That's good." Yuan Li nodded, and then exhorted, "By the way, practicing alchemy is of course very important. But in terms of cultivation, you must not relax. In the next college selection competition, our college Many people will participate, although I do not require you to win the championship. But this is related to the candidates who enter the Primordial Secret Realm. I hope you can do your best."
"Academy Trials? Primordial Secret Realm?" A trace of doubt flashed in Murong Qingyan's eyes.
"You have only just entered the academy. Maybe you are not very clear about these things!" After touching his beard, Yuan Li explained with a smile, "The Primordial Secret Realm is opened every five years. The Primordial Secret Realm is a very Mysterious place, full of danger, but also full of opportunity. Everyone wants to be able to enter there."
"However, the opening time of the Primordial Secret Realm is limited, and the next opening will be three months later. The number of people who can enter the Primordial Secret Realm is limited in each college, so they must pass the selection."
"At that time, there will be a selection in the academy. In the end, fifty people will be selected to be able to enter the Primordial Secret Realm. Even if you are my apprentice, you must pass the selection before you can enter the Primordial Secret Realm."
"Trials?" Murong smiled and said, "It still sounds interesting."
"You girl, you think this is fun!" Seeing Murong's calm expression, Yuan left his mouth and said, "I tell you, it's not easy to get a place. of students will participate. The selection will be fierce. If you are not selected, you will have to wait another five years.”
"Master, you can rest assured." Murong patted her chest and said with a smile, "I will definitely get the quota. Speaking of which, I am also very interested in this ancient secret realm."
Hearing Murong Qingyan's remarks, Yuan Li didn't know whether he should laugh or worry, "You girl, you are quite confident. However, I still have to tell you first, the competition in the trials will be Very intense. If you can get a place and enter the Primordial Secret Realm. It will definitely be a good thing for you."
"In this way, I think I'm still very lucky!" Murong said with a smile on his face, "The Primordial Secret Realm, which has been opened together in five years, will be opened soon after I enter the academy. It's really too much. People are looking forward to it. However, Master, what kind of place is the Primordial Secret Realm?"
"The Primordial Secret Realm is a very mysterious place. There are many precious medicinal materials in it, and of course, there are all kinds of rare and exotic animals." Yuan Li explained, "If there is a chance, it is very likely that you will get what you want. Of course, there are also some people who get nothing, and end up throwing their lives there.”
"In this world, opportunities and dangers go hand in hand. While there are all kinds of opportunities, there are also a lot of dangers there. Every year, after someone enters, they can't get out."
"It seems that this is an opportunity." Murong nodded, and then asked, "Master, besides our academy, will people from other academies also enter together?"
"Yeah." Yuan Li nodded, "Each academy will send fifty people to enter the Primordial Secret Realm together. As for how the other academies were selected, I don't know very well."
"Together with people from other academies!" Murong's face twitched into a deep smile, "It seems that danger and opportunity coexist!"
"On the surface, the four academies are in peace with each other, but in the past few years, the open and secret battles between several academies have become very fierce." Yuan Li said, "In the ancient secret realm, in addition to guarding against dangers that may appear at any time In the same way, you must also beware of sneak attacks from other academies. Those who appear beside you may not necessarily be your teammates."
"Master, I will definitely get the quota, and then enter the Primordial Secret Realm." Murong smiled and assured, "I am really curious about this Primordial Secret Realm, and I really want to enter and study it."
"I have been to this ancient secret realm many times. It is indeed a good place to practice there." Yuan Li said with a smile, "However, everything is not as simple as you think. The level of danger there is more dangerous than that of the academy. Mountain, that is ten times, or even a hundred times."
"At that time, I'll take a good look at what's inside." Murong said with a smile on his face, "It should be a good place to be able to attract so many people!"
"Actually, there have always been legends that this Primordial Mystery Realm was left by a great master in the transcending tribulation period." Yuan Li continued, "It is said that this Primordial Mysterious Realm has the inheritance of this great master. Many people are here for this. That's why they want to enter the ancient secret realm."
"Is there an inheritance left by Da Neng?" Murong nodded, "It sounds really interesting."
"You girl, I really can't do anything about you." Yuan Li shook his head amusingly, "Everyone who enters the Primordial Secret Realm wants to gain something. But you are the only girl who thinks it's just fun. When you go in, you'll know what's going on. It's not as simple as you say it is. Besides, you haven't got a place yet!"
"I told you just now. Even if you are my entrant disciple, you don't have any privileges. If you can't be selected, then you won't be eligible to enter the Primordial Secret Realm."
"Don't worry, Master, now that I know this, I will never let this opportunity go." Murong said with a smile, "Could it be that the championship may be a bit reluctant. However, getting the spot is a sure thing. something happened."
In this regard, Murong Qingyan was not worried. What she said was true. Her cultivation was not the highest in the academy, but it was more than enough to be selected into the top 50.
In the following time, Murong Qingyan lived almost the same life. Cultivation, alchemy and rest, this is almost a portrayal of her life.
For such a busy day, Murong Qingyan was not bored, but felt quite fulfilled.
A month later, in the alchemy room—
Looking at the mellow pills lying quietly in the medicine cauldron, Yuan Li felt that he could now look at all things that were almost unreasonable calmly.
