This Alchemy Book is not actually an ancient thing. At least judging from Fang Lin's eyesight, this Alchemy Book did not exist at all in his previous life.
This sutra records many alchemy methods, most of which are known to Fang Lin, but there are some that Fang Lin has never been exposed to.
To be precise, it is the method of alchemy that emerged after Fang Lin's era.
This made Fang Lin a little unexpected. He originally thought that it was just a roll of elixir that was of no value to him, but now it seems that it is of some use.
At least, it gave Fang Lin a certain understanding of some novel alchemy techniques that appeared in later generations.
Fang Lin has always felt that the alchemy of this era is far inferior to the era of his previous life. Many schools of alchemy are missing, and various alchemy techniques have also been lost.
For example, Zhensanshan, which Fang Lin became famous for, has been lost in this era.
In Fang Lin's previous life, Zhen Sanshan was only a very common alchemy technique, but in this era, it is regarded as a treasure by countless alchemists.
You know, Fang Lin has countless alchemy skills. If he used them one by one, it would be enough to scare the alchemists of the entire Nine Kingdoms to death.
However, although the overall strength of the alchemy world has declined significantly and the alchemy schools are incomplete, some relatively new alchemy techniques and schools have also emerged.
For example, this Alchemy Sutra records an alchemy technique called the water refining method. It actually uses a different method to refine elixirs with rootless water, which can be said to be unique.
In Fang Lin's previous life, elixirs were all made with fire. This was the first time he saw water being used to make elixirs. Naturally, he was secretly surprised and started to study it carefully.
After reading the water refining chapter, Fang Lin couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, there are talented people from generation to generation. The person who can create this water refining method is truly a peerless genius, which Fang Lin admires very much.
It is recorded in the Water Refining Chapter that the person who created this method was a down-and-out alchemist. He failed to absorb the Soul Life Pill Fire twice, resulting in serious injuries to himself, and he barely managed to save his life.
Although he did not have the Soul Life Pill Fire, he took a different approach and studied other methods of alchemy. Finally, he immersed himself in the vast ocean for ten years and finally created this shocking water alchemy method.
Even beginners of alchemy know that using fire to make elixirs, but using water to make elixirs is really too strange.
As a result, the alchemy world at that time was in an uproar, with ridicule and disdain everywhere. Some alchemy masters even made bold statements, saying that the water refining method was a crooked way that could not be brought to the forefront.
But the alchemist who created the water refining method defeated eleven alchemy masters at the time in an alchemy contest, and became famous in one fell swoop, bringing the water refining method to the eyes of the world.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After the death of the alchemist, the method of water refining soon fell into silence again.
There is no other reason. After all, the method of water refining has just emerged, and it is extremely difficult to learn. It is even more difficult to enter than the method of fire refining.
If you have spare time to learn the water refining method, you might as well devote more energy to studying the orthodox alchemy method.
Therefore, although the water alchemy method was amazing for a while, it was not promoted. Only a few alchemists silently learned it and passed it on silently, in memory of the founder of water alchemy.
With the passage of time, the method of water refining that once made all alchemists unbelievable at that time has almost been lost now. Only some ancient books and fragments are left that still record this method of alchemy.
But how many people are still paying attention
The water refining method recorded in this Alchemy Book is relatively superficial, but Fang Lin has the soul of Alchemy Lord, and he can see the subtleties from the most basic and superficial aspects.
In Fang Lin's view, those who can figure out the method of water refining are simply geniuses among geniuses. If they were in the same era, Fang Lin would definitely become his best friend.
Nowadays, this water refining method is almost extinct. Fang Lin doesn't know if anyone in this era still knows it, but he must learn it.
Not only because Fang Lin is very interested in this water refining method, but also because Fang Lin is an alchemist, and he does not want to see such an otherworldly alchemy method completely disappear.
After all, too many things have disappeared in this era.
Water refining, as the name suggests, is to use water to make elixirs.
But it is not ordinary water. The most commonly used water is rootless water and deep sea water.
To learn the method of water refining, you must naturally use water to refine alchemy. This is an alchemy technique that is completely contrary to fire refining, so many alchemists who are used to fire refining cannot learn it at all.
Fang Lin was a little uncomfortable with water refining at first, but it took him less than ten days to master the trick.
But it's just about mastering the tricks. Even if you have the foundation of Alchemy, it still takes some time to master a completely new Alchemy school.
Just as Fang Lin was immersed in the water refining method and couldn't extricate himself, time passed quickly, and one month was about to pass in the blink of an eye.
The Alchemist Conference is about to begin!
Every alchemist conference is initiated by the Alchemy Alliance and held between countries. Although it is an exchange in name, in fact, it has long become a competition between countries in terms of alchemy strength.
Different from the competition between warriors, the competition between alchemists does not involve swords or guns, let alone blood, but it is also very cruel.
The winner is the one who attracts the attention of others, rises to great heights, and stands high from then on.
Those who lose will be eclipsed and criticized by everyone. Without perseverance, they will end up doing nothing.
The alchemists who represent their respective countries carry on their shoulders the hope of all the alchemists in a country.
Although the Yun Kingdom, the Meng Kingdom, and the Qian Kingdom are all the lower three kingdoms, the level of alchemy between the three kingdoms has gradually widened in recent years.
Qianguo and Mengguo are not bad. In the last alchemist conference, the two countries were almost the same, and Qianguo was even slightly stronger.
But it was only a little bit. Maybe the alchemists of Qian Kingdom performed better at that time.
As for the Yun State, it has a situation that is superior to the Qian State and the Meng State.
In the last alchemist conference, the alchemists of Yun State performed extremely amazingly, and extremely outstanding figures emerged, overwhelming those of Qian State and Meng State.
There are even rumors that the level of Alchemy in the Yun Kingdom is about to reach that of a medium-sized country. Although this rumor is very absurd, it is enough to prove how powerful the Alchemy in the Yun Kingdom is.
Three days before the Alchemist Conference started, the Alchemy Alliance sent someone to take Fang Lin to Qiandu and met with everyone else attending the Alchemist Conference.
In the Gandu Alchemy League, Fang Lin met other people participating in the Alchemist Conference, two of whom were Li Jianlong and Li Feng from the Li family.
But what Fang Lin cared about more was another person.
