Kong Ming cupped his hands and said: "Since it is the senior who has something to ask for, it is hard for the junior to refuse. But there is one thing. I wonder if I can ask the senior for advice?"
The strange old man touched his beard and said cheerfully: "What's the matter? But it doesn't matter! As long as you are willing to transfer the poisonous gentian to me, the old man can set whatever conditions you want!"
Kong Ming smiled slightly and said: "Junior would like to ask my senior, is he an alchemist?"
The strange old man nodded and said: "I am indeed an elixir master, otherwise there would be no need for the poisonous gentian to combine the medicine. If you want any elixir, just ask. If you can prepare the materials by yourself, I will also be willing to help. I will help you refine the elixir once, and all the elixirs will be yours!"
When the strange old man said this, he looked very confident, as if Kong Ming could satisfy whatever pill he wanted. As for helping Kong Ming make elixirs, it's more like giving Kong Ming a big face!
According to common sense, alchemists do have a very special status in Tianyuan Continent. Even some alchemists who are not too high-level do not have to worry about not being attracted by big forces, because as long as the elixir is refined, no matter how Whether it is low-end or high-end, the demand is extremely huge, so there is no need to worry about there being no market. As for the alchemists who can refine high-level elixirs, they enjoy the treatment of national treasures, and they are all supported by major empires and top wealthy families.
According to the rules on Tianyuan Continent, if you ask an alchemist to make an elixir, you must prepare all the materials yourself, and after the elixir is made, you need to distribute the prepared elixir to the alchemist. The general market share is at least 50%, and even for some rare or high-end elixirs, the proportion allocated to the alchemist will reach 70 to 80%!
This shows the status of the alchemist in Tianyuan Continent. It is no wonder that this profession is regarded as the two most respected professions along with the forger, and the status of the alchemist is still higher than that of the forger!
It’s all determined by the relationship between needs!
The strange old man is obviously a very high-level alchemist. It would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to ask him to help him. But now he has agreed to help Kong Ming make elixirs for Kong Ming without charging any compensation. This is already a huge problem. Save your face!
You know, with the strange old man looking so confident, he can obviously refine any high-level elixir. If Kong Ming can gather the materials and ask him to refine elixirs of such quality as Neiyuan Dan, wouldn't it be a huge profit? Already
Neiyuan Pill is one of the most popular elixirs on the market. After taking it, it can increase the success rate of high-level Yuan generals to break through to the marshal realm. Its efficacy can definitely be compared with some heavenly materials and earthly treasures!
If the strange old man really has such a method, then his origin is quite astonishing. Of course, in order to refine Nei Yuan Dan, collecting all the materials is as difficult as seeking those heavenly materials and earthly treasures. If you are not a top power, you probably won't be able to come up with the materials to refine Nei Yuan Dan.
However, when Kong Ming talked to this strange old man, it was not for his elixir or to ask him to make elixirs, but for something else! I saw Kong Ming smile slightly and said: "I'm not afraid of seniors making fun of me. In fact, I can be considered an alchemist! As for my level, I can barely refine elixirs like Bu Yuan Dan."
The strange old man's eyes lit up and he said: "You are actually an alchemist? What a coincidence. No wonder you see the value of a rare material like poisonous gentian. Judging from your age, you should not be old. Now you can refine the Buyuan Dan. Already? This kind of talent is quite rare!"
Kong Ming bowed to the strange old man and saluted, and said: "I happened to get a book on the way of elixirs. After groping for it on my own, I finally started on the way of elixirs. However, I am young and have little knowledge. In elixirs, There are still many puzzles on the way! If the seniors can give some pointers, the juniors will definitely benefit a lot. Even if you offer this poisonous gentian with both hands, what's wrong? Just think of it as thanking the seniors for their guidance. !”
The strange old man rolled his eyes and asked: "The book of alchemy you practiced was passed down by the master of alchemy?"
Kong Ming replied respectfully: "It was passed down by Master Yaoshi, a master of alchemy more than a thousand years ago. I also got this book by chance at an auction!"
The strange old man nodded and said: "Since it is the book of elixirs passed down by the Master Medicine Master, it can be regarded as the orthodox method of elixirs! Well, let me think about it... The skills Master Medicine Master is most proficient in, It is for refining recovery-type elixirs. No wonder you are able to refine elixirs like Bu Yuan Dan at such a young age. Well, if I pass you something, it should be able to match the master pharmacist’s method of elixirs. There will be a mutually reinforcing effect. If you are willing to continue to work hard in this area, there should be no problem in fully inheriting the mantle of Master Medicine Master in the future."
Judging from the strange old man's tone, even the Master Medicine Master, a master of alchemy more than a thousand years ago, is not that special to him. It can be seen from this that the level and status of this strange old man in the way of elixirs will not be lower than that of Master Medicine Master, and may even be above Master Medicine Master!
If compared like this, the origin of the strange old man is really amazing!
Being able to get the guidance of such a big man was naturally a great opportunity for Kong Ming, so Kong Ming presented the poisonous gentian to the strange old man without hesitation.
The strange old man smiled "hehe" and said: "The old man hasn't handed over his things yet, so why are you so embarrassed to accept this poisonous gentian? Just wait a moment!"
As the strange old man spoke, he rubbed his hands, and a red light suddenly lit up in his hands. At the same time, he snapped his fingers, and then a little green light appeared in the red fire, but it was an extremely pure wood element. The power is being burned by the red fire!
As expected, fellow cultivators of both wood and fire elements are most suitable to become alchemists. At least the strange old man in front of him can control the energy of fire and wood elements at the same time. Moreover, the strange old man took action in front of Kong Ming, but Kong Ming could not feel the two sources of energy he controlled, and there was no energy leaking out. It was obvious that all the energy was controlled by the strange old man, and there was no one. Every little bit of waste.
To be able to control Yuanli to such an exquisite level, this strange old man's cultivation level is at least at the marshal level. No wonder this strange old man is so confident, because the alchemist with a marshal-level cultivation is definitely at the pinnacle of the Cangnan Empire's alchemy method, and such a person is of great importance to the Cangnan Empire No less than a Yuan Emperor level expert!
