"But it doesn't matter." Fang Lin said.
Lu Wenjin glanced at Fang Lin and pointed to the alchemy furnaces on the side: "With Master Fang's status and reputation, I think there is no shortage of good alchemy furnaces, but I have always had a doubt. For alchemists, the alchemy furnace is , just as weapons are as important to warriors. Warriors can exert their full strength by mastering weapons, and alchemists can display their abilities by possessing alchemy furnaces. Is it right to think that as long as the alchemy furnace is good enough, then the alchemist himself can It doesn't matter if your attainments are less, because the difference can be made up by a good alchemy furnace. So what's the point of alchemists like me studying alchemy recipes and honing our own alchemy skills for decades? Especially those who come from a humble background. It’s hard for an alchemist to find any good elixirs, so how can he compare with those alchemists who come from noble families?”
As soon as Lu Wenjin said this, Shen Xingzhu frowned slightly, obviously thinking that Lu Wenjin's question was a bit tricky.
The female disciples of Tianxiang Valley all looked puzzled. Some seemed to understand, but some were completely confused by Lu Wenjin's question.
Yes, if the alchemist has a superior alchemy furnace, then it doesn't seem to matter even if his own attainments are inferior? The alchemy furnace can make up for all the gaps.
Those alchemists from humble backgrounds have worked hard to hone their alchemy skills, but against those alchemists with rich family backgrounds, even if their level is higher than their opponents, they will casually take out a superior alchemy furnace, but you use the most ordinary alchemy furnace. A low-grade alchemy furnace, what else could this compare to? There is absolutely no point in competing with others.
In the final analysis, Lu Wenjin's question has buried a hole, and the problem can be expanded to include the origin of the alchemist.
We can even delve deeper into this: Is the innate condition of an alchemist more important, or is the acquired hard work more important
Lu Wenjin used a small alchemy furnace to hide a deeper controversy, which was to deliberately make things difficult for Fang Lin.
If Fang Lin only answered Lu Wenjin's questions in a superficial way, then Fang Lin, a master of alchemy, could only do the same.
Who is Fang Lin? When I heard Lu Wenjin's question, I thought about it for a moment, and I thought about this question to another level. I also realized that Lu Wenjin was deliberately trying to make things difficult for me.
It's a pity that if someone else were to answer such a profound question, they might not be able to answer the essence. But the person Lu Wenjin asked was Fang Lin.
Fang Lin patted the alchemy furnace he had just used and said to Lu Wenjin with a smile: "Your alchemy furnace in Tianxiang Valley is much better than the one I used before."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Wenjin was stunned, and then his brows furrowed slightly, not knowing what Fang Lin was going to say.
Fang Lin looked at the alchemy furnace with a look of reminiscence on his face: "I was born in the Qian Kingdom. When I was in the Zixia Sect of the Qian Kingdom, the alchemy furnaces I used were worse than these. At most, I could refine them. Making second-grade elixirs and refining third-grade elixirs are both difficult, but I still survived those years."
Lu Wenjin sneered: "Master Fang is a wizard of alchemy. He can shine even in Qian Kingdom."
The implication is that you, Fang Lin, are an exception and cannot represent the majority of alchemists.
Fang Lin didn't care and continued: "You said that the alchemy furnace is as important to the alchemist as weapons are to the warriors. I think what you said makes sense. Only when warriors have weapons can they exert their full strength. , to defeat opponents stronger than yourself."
After a pause, Fang Lin changed his words: "But if a warrior reaches a certain level, even a piece of grass or a tree in his hand is like a magic weapon. At that level, he basically doesn't care what weapon he holds in his hand. . The same is true for alchemists. When one's attainments reach a certain level, even if one uses the most ordinary alchemy furnace to refine alchemy, he can still refine high-quality elixirs."
"So Master Fang believes that the alchemist's own accomplishments are more important than the alchemy furnace?" Lu Wenjin said.
Fang Lin smiled slightly: "Although the alchemy furnace is important, it is only a tool for alchemy after all. Even if you are from a humble background and do not have a good alchemy furnace, as long as you have excellent alchemy attainments, you will not be able to defeat those alchemists with rich background. Master? In the final analysis, along the way to alchemy, what you are refining is elixir, and what you are refining is yourself."
"Master Fang has great views, and I admire you. However, most of the famous alchemists nowadays seem to have extraordinary backgrounds. Of course, Master Fang is an exception." Lu Wenjin said pointedly.
"Your origin determines your starting point, and your process determines your height. I have met many alchemy geniuses. Some are born into wealthy families, while others are from ordinary and humble backgrounds. After all, no one can decide such things as origin, and low origin does not matter. What? Knowing that you are from a low background, you have to work harder to trample those high-ranking wealthy geniuses under your feet. Wouldn't it be a pleasure?" Fang Lin said with a smile.
Lu Wenjin stared at Fang Lin blankly, and many Tianxiang female disciples around him were also deeply shocked. Fang Lin's words were so heroic that people couldn't help but feel awe.
"What impassioned words. Master Fang's words probably express the lofty sentiments of many ordinary alchemists in the world. Just that sentence that tramples the geniuses of wealthy families under their feet is enough to shock people." Shen Xingzhu praised. road.
Lu Wenjin was quite unwilling, but he just wanted to make things difficult for Fang Lin, but he didn't have the courage.
"What Master Fang said touched me deeply. Please accept my prayers." Lu Wenjin bowed and said. She was originally very prejudiced against Fang Lin, but now she was impressed by Fang Lin's alchemy skills and what he just said. .
"It's just nonsense." Fang Lin waved his hand.
Tang Qingling had been standing aside, staring straight at the five youth pills in the pill furnace, without saying anything.
Fang Lin felt a little dazed when he looked at the little girl. He remembered that when he stepped into the Alchemy Palace on the first day in his previous life, he was also stunned like this when he saw the alchemists making alchemy.
Fang Lin had been watching the process of Tang Qingling's alchemy refining just now. In Fang Lin's opinion, this little girl was not very old, but her talent in alchemy was quite good. At least among her group of senior sisters, she was considered to be the best. Outstanding.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Mei Yingxue and Dugu Nian also came to the Xinglin Medicine Table. All the Tianxiang female disciples saluted Mei Yingxue and looked at the unfamiliar face of Dugu Nian curiously.
Dugu Nian was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood. It seemed that he had gained something from the exchange of piano skills with Mei Yingxue.
However, when Fang Lin saw Dugu Nian, he remembered the two situations he saw under the acacia tree during the day, especially the second situation, which really made Fang Lin uneasy.
Outside Tianxiang Valley, a figure floated over. It was a woman, as cold as ice and extremely beautiful.
"Tianxiang Valley, after all these years, I, Lin Qishuang, am back." The woman raised her eyes and looked at the silent valley in the night, her murderous intent clearly revealed.
