Chapter 964 Chief Alchemist

On the second day, Ye Chunyang left the courtyard of the inner disciples and walked to a cave in the southwest.

According to the agreement, he must go to Elder Mo's cave today to assist him in refining elixirs.

Although Ye Chunyang scoffed at this matter, in this special period, he had no choice but to temporarily hide his identity and cooperate with Elder Mo.

After leaving the other courtyard, Ye Chunyang saw some sharp-faced Cangwu Immortal Sect disciples coming in and out, either wandering around the sect or heading down the mountain, seemingly looking for someone.

This scene started when I came back last night.

These monks are the law enforcement disciples of the Cangwu Immortal Sect. The alchemists of the Wang family and the Chen family suddenly disappeared last night, and the accompanying guards also disappeared overnight, as if they had evaporated without a trace.

The strange thing is that no one saw these two families leaving the mountain gate, and one of them had already entered the top three in Elder Mo's alchemist assessment. Suddenly there was no sound of death or corpses, not to mention Elder Mo's helplessness. To explain, it would be a big trouble for the two major clans, the Wang family and the Chen family, to pursue him.

Seeing these Zhifa disciples in a hurry, Ye Chunyang didn't pay much attention and walked straight forward.

Elder Mo's cave is located in a fairy mountain with rich spiritual energy in the sect. There are not many disciples in the mountain. Apart from a few handyman disciples who are responsible for taking care of the medicine garden and feeding spiritual pets, there are only a few mana-level and pill-forming disciples. The monks are meditating.

However, the momentum in this female elder's cave is not inferior to that of other elders of the same class. Palaces and attics are floating in the clouds, surrounded by high-level spirit gathering arrays. White cranes can be seen circling everywhere, and sweet fairy sounds can be heard from time to time. Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, you can see the majesty of a fairyland on earth.

"Fellow Daoist Ye is here. Han has been waiting here for a long time. Please come with me!"

Just as Ye Chunyang settled outside the cave, a white light flew in front of him and turned into a familiar figure. It was Han Wuji, one of Elder Mo's direct disciples.

"Senior Brother Laohan, I've been waiting for you for a long time. I wonder if Elder Mo is in the cave at this time?" Ye Chunyang asked casually.

"Master is not here, so I will be solely responsible for assisting in the alchemy. All you need to do is follow me to the Alchemy Pavilion." Han Wuji replied with a faint smile.

Ye Chunyang was a little surprised when he heard this, "Elder Mo is not in the mansion, so how to refine the elixir? Could it be that she herself sacrificed it to the furnace?"

Han Wuji shook his head and said: "Young Daoist Ye don't know something. Although the master is a famous alchemy master in the Taiyuan Immortal Dynasty, he rarely makes alchemy himself now. Most of the time, he gives the alchemy recipe to senior brother Tian Yuanzi and lets him do it on his behalf." He supervises his disciples to perform sacrifices.”

"Tian Yuanzi?"

Ye Chunyang blinked, showing a little surprise.

"Yes, Senior Brother Tian Yuanzi is our senior brother. He has supreme talent in alchemy and is also Master's most trusted disciple. Master has passed down all the alchemy skills to him. He will serve as the chief alchemist in the Alchemy Pavilion. You'll know when I meet him later, and you will also help him make elixirs this time," Han Wuji explained with a smile.

Ye Chunyang's mind was spinning with information. In the past few days, he had also secretly inquired about a lot of information about Elder Mo. He also knew a thing or two about the situation under his sect, but he had never heard of this person named "Tian Yuanzi" The chief alchemist couldn't help but be a little surprised.

However, Elder Mo's elixir actually required many people to refine it, and he didn't know what elixir it was that required so much effort.

"In front is the Alchemy Pavilion. Han is only responsible for handing over the results and delivering messages on Master's behalf. As for the alchemy matters, it will be supervised by Senior Brother Tian Yuanzi. Hehe... our senior brother is a wizard of alchemy that is rare to see in tens of thousands of years. If you have any questions about alchemy, you can ask him and he will answer it for you. I believe you will benefit a lot as long as you stay with him for a while. "

Han Wuji said to Ye Chunyang as he walked, and finally stopped at the outer door of a majestic attic suspended high in the air in the center of the cave.

Ye Chunyang quietly sensed it and found that this attic was actually built on the earth's heart fire. There were various absorption magic circles engraved around it, which absorbed the essence of the earth fire day and night, and the high-level secret methods were continuously refined, making it the best spirit for alchemy. fire.

Even though Ye Chunyang was a master of alchemy, he couldn't help but marvel when he saw such a magnificent handiwork.

In fact, it is not difficult for a monk of his level to build an alchemy pavilion, but to refine the spiritual fire day and night, the time and energy required are not as simple as talking about it.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see Senior Brother Tian Yuanzi." Han Wuji took Ye Chunyang to visit the Dan Pavilion and got familiar with it before leading him towards the pavilion.

The attic is filled with the fragrance of traditional Chinese medicine, and pure fire-attribute spiritual energy is emitted from time to time. There are also some monks in unique clothes walking back and forth in the attic, holding medicine bottles or various medicinal materials in their hands, and they are very busy. Huh.

In the middle of the attic stood a giant cauldron that was as tall as two people, and inside it was burning six flavors of true fire. Ye Chunyang knew at a glance that it was a pure flame extracted from the soul veins of the underground. The biggest advantage of this type of spiritual fire is that it does not require mental control. You only need to press the mana from time to time to ensure that the spiritual energy is full, and then carefully control the temperature of the fire.

This kind of alchemy is called "Ju Yuan". Even if no one is in charge, the elixir can be made by gathering the strength of everyone and taking turns to take care of it.

Of course, elixirs that are generally refined using this method are huge projects that can take several years or even decades to be refined. Moreover, all those responsible for refining must cooperate closely and must be skilled in the art of controlling fire. It is also necessary to lead an alchemy master who is better than ordinary alchemists, otherwise the failure of alchemy will be a trivial matter, and it is very likely that everyone will die together.

Therefore, anyone who uses this method to make pills must be very careful and rigorous in selecting the alchemist. Any omission of a tiny detail will lead to failure.

Ye Chunyang looked up at the huge pill furnace, and a dark color flashed across his eyes.

He had sensed this pill furnace just now and wanted to see what kind of pill was being made in it, but was surprised to find that there was a layer of isolation restriction inside, as if it didn't want people to know the secret.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chunyang became even more curious.

However, he did not continue to explore rashly. If the restriction in the pill furnace was really forcibly cracked, it would naturally not be difficult for him. However, doing so would definitely alarm Elder Mo, so there was no need to take this risk to satisfy his curiosity.

While thinking in his heart, a light footsteps came from upstairs. Ye Chunyang looked up and saw an old man in green clothes, with a messy beard and a few burn marks on the corners of his clothes.

This man looks plain, but he is a cultivator who unexpectedly reached the False Infant Realm.

"Big Brother, I have brought him here. From now on, I will leave Fellow Daoist Ye to you." Han Wuji smiled and bowed to the old man who came down from the upstairs.

It seems that this man is the chief alchemist "Tian Yuanzi" he mentioned.

"Are you the casual cultivator who can cultivate the invisible fire?" The old man in green tidied up his white hair and looked at Ye Chunyang with a pair of strange eyes.

"It's me. I meet Senior Brother Tian Yuanzi." Ye Chunyang said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Very good, it is said that your alchemy skills are extraordinary, and you can refine the ancient lost Fuling Wuji Pill. Wonderful, wonderful..." The old man in green looked at Ye Chunyang and grinned and laughed.

But before Ye Chunyang could answer, his smile faded, and he became solemn and cold. Then he threw him a jade slip and said indifferently: "Remember the recipe in it within three breaths, and then show me the furnace!"

Ye Chunyang frowned secretly, but didn't say much. He took the jade slip and probed into it with his spiritual sense.

But when he found out the content, Ye Chunyang suddenly frowned, with doubt on his face.

"The recipe in it..."

Ye Chunyang raised his head and looked at Tian Yuanzi to ask something, but the latter waved his hand and said in a cold tone: "You don't need to ask more. Although the recipe in this jade slip is the elixir ordered by the master, everyone only gets a part. You just need to help refine it according to what you get."

Hearing this, Ye Chunyang's heart condensed, and he felt more and more that there was something strange in it. Elder Mo deliberately divided a recipe into several parts and asked his disciples to perform their duties. It was obvious that he didn't want them to know the secrets. However, since the other party said so, Ye Chunyang naturally would not ask any more questions, but kept a secret and waited for the situation to be found out later.

Before it was clear what Elder Mo was doing secretly, he did not want to be used for nothing.

"Okay, you have also read the jade slip. From today on, you only need to follow the above steps to help refine it. Now you are responsible for maintaining the earth spirit fire array. With your consciousness that can cast invisible fire, it should not be a problem to control this spiritual fire, right?" Tian Yuanzi waved his hand coldly and directly assigned the task to Ye Chunyang.

Ye Chunyang nodded, looking obedient and sensible.

Tian Yuanzi was very satisfied with this, and then turned and went upstairs. Han Wuji also said a few words to Ye Chunyang and said goodbye.

"That's right."

At this moment, Tian Yuanzi, who had just walked up to the attic, paused again, looked back at Ye Chunyang, and said, "I almost forgot to tell you something. You alchemists who are responsible for assisting in alchemy can only move in the areas you are responsible for, and you are not allowed to step into the attic, let alone exchange the recipes you have obtained, otherwise... you will be killed without mercy!"

A cold breath suddenly shot out from Tian Yuanzi's eyes and rushed towards Ye Chunyang.

"Got it." Ye Chunyang responded calmly.

"Haha, fellow Taoist, don't worry. This is just a routine matter. After all, we are just doing things for others. It is for everyone's good to say ugly things in advance. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me. Well, I will also give you some advice on alchemy for your hard work. In addition, after the elixir is refined, the master will also give you another reward."

After Tian Yuanzi finished speaking, he suddenly changed from being cold and stern, and returned to his previous playful and smiling appearance. He laughed loudly and disappeared completely in the attic.

Ye Chunyang rolled his eyes and didn't take Tian Yuanzi's words to heart. He just looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him with a deep look in his eyes.
