Chapter 109: Small Success in Alchemy, Journey to Tianwu Kingdom
"Uncle Master, I want to learn alchemy from you!"
Chen Xuan said with a firm look.
The Blue Butterfly Fairy nodded.
She flipped her hand and took out a pile of thick books and handed them to Chen Xuan.
"The contents of these books are all necessary knowledge to become an alchemist. You must memorize these things thoroughly before I can teach you the art of alchemy."
"You can read these alchemy books by yourself first. I will come to you in three days and answer your questions."
After saying this, Fairy Blue Butterfly left immediately.
But Chen Xuan didn't dare to be lazy.
He quickly found a place to sit down and carefully studied the mountain of alchemy books in front of him.
"'A Hundred Solutions to Miraculous Medicines' Atlas', 'Tai Xuanzi's Detailed Explanation of the Combination of Medicinal Properties', 'Niu Daoren's Two or Three Insights on Alchemy'..."
Chen Xuan quickly flipped through the catalog.
Start with the most basic and simplest "Illustrated Atlas of Hundreds of Miraculous Medicines".
The Atlas of Hundreds of Spiritual Medicines records the introduction of various spiritual medicines in the world that can be used to refine elixirs, as well as their effects, growth environment, etc.
Chen Xuan himself has a strong interest in these things.
Soon, I began to watch it with great interest.
After reading it once, Chen Xuan recalled it carefully.
I found that I had already mastered most of the introduction to the spiritual medicines in the "Illustrated Atlas of Spiritual Medicines".
As for the remaining few parts, Chen Xuan just put in a little effort and memorized them completely.
After finishing reading "Illustrated Book of 100 Explanations of Miraculous Medicines", Chen Xuan chose a relatively easier classic and continued reading.
In this way, Chen Xuan's learning difficulty is moderate, and he has a strong interest in learning.
It only took me three days to finish reading all the massive amounts of alchemy books.
Moreover, Chen Xuan made detailed notes on the parts that he didn't understand so that he could ask targeted questions when Fairy Blue Butterfly came next time.
Three days later, the Blue Butterfly Fairy arrived as promised.
Seeing that Chen Xuan had been waiting in the secret room for a long time, Fairy Blue Butterfly looked curious.
"Nephew Chen, have you finished reading all the alchemy books I gave you?"
"Reporting to Uncle Master, I have memorized everything. However, there are still many points that confuse me. I have recorded them in the jade slips. Uncle Master, please give me some guidance."
"very good."
The Blue Butterfly Fairy nodded.
He took the jade slip handed to him by Chen Xuan.
After reading it carefully, he gave Chen Xuan detailed answers one by one.
After listening to this, Chen Xuan suddenly felt as if he had been enlightened.
Many of the things that troubled him also disappeared.
After this explanation, Chen Xuan had a deeper understanding of the basic knowledge of alchemy.
"Junior Brother Chen, it seems that you have a very good grasp of the basic knowledge of alchemy. If so, I will teach you the skills of controlling the temperature of alchemy." Fairy Blue Butterfly said with satisfaction.
With a flip of her hand, a medicine cauldron appeared in the hands of Fairy Blue Butterfly.
"This cauldron is the first medicine-making cauldron I used when I was learning alchemy. Now, this cauldron is no longer of much use to me, so I will give it to you, my nephew Chen." said Fairy Blue Butterfly.
Chen Xuan looked overjoyed and thanked her quickly. Then he followed Fairy Blue Butterfly to learn how to activate the medicine cauldron and control the temperature of the medicine.
"Alchemy requires extremely high control of the temperature. Often, whether an alchemist can refine high-quality pills is determined by the temperature."
"When low-level immortal cultivators refine pills, they need to transform the spiritual energy in their bodies into flame power through the formation on the medicine cauldron."
"You are already in the foundation-building stage, so you can use the foundation-building slow fire to make pills. I will teach you the specific techniques later."
"As for cultivators at the Jindan stage and above, there are many ways to refine pills. The most common one is to use the pill fire of a Jindan stage cultivator to refine pills."
"In addition, you can also use the demon fire and the earth's core fire to make pills."
……
The Blue Butterfly Fairy tells the story.
Chen Xuan also listened very carefully.
If there was something he didn't understand, Chen Xuan would write it down silently and ask questions after Fairy Blue Butterfly finished speaking.
Chen Xuan will not stop until every problem is made clear.
As a result, Chen Xuan's progress in learning alchemy was not very fast, but it was steady.
Dozens of days later, in the secret room where Chen Xuan was temporarily staying.
call!
A medicine cauldron was quietly suspended in front of Chen Xuan.
A continuous blaze of flames burned beneath the constantly rotating alchemy cauldron.
In the medicine refining cauldron, one medicinal herb after another is constantly being refined at high temperature.
The impurities burned into ashes and disappeared as gas.
However, Chen Xuan was concentrating on controlling the medicine cauldron and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
After another half an hour, a strong medicinal fragrance suddenly emanated from the medicine cauldron.
Chen Xuan looked very happy.
"It's done!"
Chen Xuan quickly made hand gestures and pointed his finger at the medicine cauldron.
hum!
The medicine cauldron trembled slightly, and the tightly fitted lid popped open.
Ten small jade-white essence pill fish swam out from inside.
Chen Xuan, who was well prepared, picked up a jade bottle and with a casual move, put all the small essence pills into the jade bottle.
Chen Xuan's movements were as smooth as flowing water.
The Blue Butterfly Fairy, who was standing aside and watching Chen Xuan making the elixir quietly, nodded frequently.
"The low-grade Essence Pill was finally refined successfully." Chen Xuan said happily.
"Junior Brother Chen, congratulations. I didn't expect that in such a short time, your alchemy skills have reached a small level of success. Although the small Essence Pill you refined is only a low-grade pill taken by cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, if you are willing to work hard to practice alchemy, I believe that your alchemy skills will definitely improve by leaps and bounds." Fairy Blue Butterfly said with a smile.
Chen Xuan bowed to the Blue Butterfly Fairy with gratitude.
"This is all thanks to your guidance, Uncle Master. If not for you, how could I have achieved such success?" Chen Xuan said.
"Haha, don't flatter me. You have made some progress in alchemy now, and I have also given an explanation to Junior Sister Jindie. In the future, if you want to become a real alchemist, you still need to work hard on your own." Fairy Blue Butterfly said with a smile.
After talking to Chen Xuan for a while, Fairy Blue Butterfly left immediately.
An hour later, the Golden Butterfly Fairy appeared in Chen Xuan's secret room.
She looked at Chen Xuan carefully for a long time with a smiling look, then nodded with satisfaction.
"Junior Brother Chen, you have really learned the art of alchemy in the past month. It is time for you to leave the sect and go on a mission."
As Fairy Golden Butterfly spoke, she casually threw a storage bag to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan curiously scanned it with his divine sense and found that what was inside was actually the spiritual weapon refined for him by True Man Fire Crow.
Dragon scale shield, flying dragon claw, divine wind boat, and more than ten Liyan spirit beads.
Among them, the Dragon Scale Shield, Flying Dragon Claw, and Kamikaze Boat are all excellent and top-grade spiritual weapons.
As for the Li Yan Lingzhu, it is a disposable consumable.
Use one, and you have one less.
The power of things that were personally refined by True Man Fire Crow should not be underestimated.
The dragon scale shield, the flying dragon claw, and the Kamikaze boat are the things that True Man Fire Crow had promised to refine long ago.
The extra Li Yan Lingzhu was refined by True Man Huo Ya on behalf of Chen Xuan.
"It seems that my three thousand low-grade spirit stones were not wasted."
Chen Xuan chuckled secretly, and soon looked at the Golden Butterfly Fairy with a grateful smile.
"Thank you, uncle!"
"You're welcome, nephew!"
Fairy Golden Butterfly waved her hand, her expression extremely solemn.
"Nephew Chen, you are going to Tianwu Country today to take over our Yuling Sect's intelligence network. This matter is of great importance, so you must pay attention to it."
"Over the years, I don't know what happened, but all of our Yuling Sect's disciples who were responsible for collecting intelligence within the Tianwu Kingdom were killed."
"You have only one mission, which is to revitalize our Yuling Sect's intelligence network in Tianwu Country and find the murderers who killed our Yuling Sect disciples and eliminate them all."
Chen Xuan immediately understood that the pressure of going to Tianwu Kingdom this time was extremely great.
"No wonder the sect agreed to my conditions so readily. It turns out that my mission this time was too difficult."
Chen Xuan smiled bitterly.
At this moment, he had no room for regret.
After asking Fairy Jindie a few more questions about the Tianwu Kingdom's intelligence network, he left the secret room and headed straight towards the Tianwu Kingdom.
