Chapter 517

"Isn't that nonsense? How could I not know about the Mercenary Guild? The branch president of the Mo City Mercenary Guild is that old boy Li Jing."

"Mr. Pang, do you know him?"

"Of course, I have a pretty good relationship with him."

"Mr. Pang, you are not the branch president of this alchemist guild, are you?" Ling Bai guessed Mr. Pang's identity.

"Okay, now that you know what these are for, let me ask you, do you want to learn alchemy?"

"I wonder if Mr. Pang will teach me."

"Here, this is a junior alchemist's manual. Take it and study it yourself. If you want to become an excellent alchemist, the first thing you need to learn is to be familiar with medicinal materials, and the second is to control fire.

I think the first one should be very simple for you. What you need to learn now is fire control. "

After Pang Lao's explanation, Ling Bai flipped through the junior alchemist's manual in his hand, which introduced some alchemist's treatment and assessment.

If an alchemist wants to improve his level, he must take an assessment. The assessment is very simple. If you can refine the highest-grade elixir, that is your alchemist level.

Alchemists are divided into ordinary, junior, intermediate and advanced. Ordinary alchemists use herbs to refine some elixirs. Low-level alchemists can refine low-level elixirs, but everyone's elixir-making rate is different.

Although some alchemists are already intermediate alchemists, their success rate in refining intermediate elixirs is very low, so these people passed the test purely by luck.

However, even those who can only refine low-level elixirs are still very popular, and some families cherish such alchemists very much.

But generally, alchemists who have positions in the alchemist guild have very good alchemy skills, and they can guarantee that their alchemy success rate is around 90%.

"How about it, kid? You understand it in general."

"It's almost there, but I've never had any experience with fire control. Does Mr. Pang have any skills?"

"There are really no body skills for this. You have to figure it out yourself. I will lend you this pill furnace. How about you refine the lowest level healing pill first?"

"Okay, let me try."

Ling Bai recalled in his mind the medicinal materials and steps needed to refine the healing pill, and then poured his spiritual power into the alchemy furnace in front of him.

With the injection of spiritual power, flames appeared in the alchemy furnace, and then the alchemy furnace started to burn.

Since it was Ling Bai's first time coming into contact with the alchemy furnace, his flames were sometimes big and sometimes small.

"Ling Bai, concentrate your energy and control your flames in a stable state. You have to ensure the intensity of the flames. This won't work now."

After hearing Pang Lao's words, Ling Bai controlled his spiritual power, and then slowly adapted to the rhythm of the flames in the alchemy furnace.

He now needs to know how much spiritual power is sent in, the flame will become bigger, and how much spiritual power is withdrawn, the flame will become smaller.

An hour later, Ling Bai was able to control the heat freely, and was no longer as panicked as he was at the beginning.

"Okay, Ling Bai, now we can proceed to the next step, smelting medicinal materials." Old Pang reminded Ling Bai.

Ling Bai put a styptic grass in, and then the flames immediately wrapped it up. Within a second, the styptic grass was burned.

"Boy Ye, you are too anxious, please take your time."

Ling Bai once again threw a hemostatic grass in. This time he was not in a hurry. He slowly controlled the flames to wrap the hemostatic grass, and then slowly refined the hemostatic grass into a liquid raw material.

Then came the dragon-marked tree vine, which was relatively resistant to burning. It took Ling Bai a full stick of incense to refine it into a liquid.

In this way, Ling Bai slowly smelted all the five herbs needed for the healing pill into liquid. The last step was to make the pill.

"Ling Bai, the next step requires you to use your spiritual power. You have to feel the similarities between each material, and then use the spiritual flame to condense them together."

Ling Bai took a deep breath, controlled the flames to surround five groups of liquids of different colors, and then slowly sensed the commonalities among the five groups of energy as Lao Pang said.

His mental strength was already pretty good. When he was watching Pang Lao refining alchemy, he could already feel the situation in Pang Lao's alchemy furnace. Now it was up to him. He focused his attention on the alchemy furnace as before. middle.

Chapter 44: Cheng Dan, Heavenly Sword Technique

Slowly, he felt that there seemed to be a certain connection between the five raw materials, and then he activated the spiritual flame to fuse the five raw materials together.

It went quite smoothly at the beginning, but in the final fusion stage, Ling Bai suddenly discovered that there was a sense of rejection between the two liquids.

Then the elixir he was about to take shape immediately turned into ashes.

Ling Bai licked his lips. It seemed that his first alchemy failed.

"Boy, don't be discouraged. Take your time. I failed more than two hundred times before refining the first pill, so you still have to practice hard."

"Don't worry, Mr. Pang, I won't give up."

Closing his eyes, Ling Bai ran the Sheng Sheng Jue to restore the consumed spiritual power, while recalling the alchemy process just now in his mind.

After burning the incense, his spiritual power had recovered, and he continued to refine the healing pill.

Two, twenty, fifty, eighty times, each failure allowed him to accumulate experience.

The day passed quickly. At night, Ling Bai regained his spiritual power and once again devoted himself to refining the healing pill.

Ling Bai skillfully injected spiritual power into the alchemy furnace, and then threw five medicinal herbs into it. Now he can melt five herbs at the same time.

Since these are the lowest-level herbs, so many can be melted at one time.

If it is a spiritual medicine, it is very troublesome to melt one, let alone melt five at the same time, which is completely a fantasy.

After a while, the five herbs have been melted, and then Ling Bai controls them to condense together.

Ling Bai's soul power is better than before. A day of exercise has made his soul power stronger.

"Condense the pill." Ling Bai shouted softly.

A bumpy pill appeared in the spiritual flame, and Ling Bai showed a happy expression on his face. It was done.

The next step is the last step, using the spiritual flame to nourish the pill and refine the bumpy places on it into a round shape.

The process of nourishing the pill lasted for half a quarter of an hour. Ling Bai stretched out his hand and a light yellow pill flew into his hand.

"Pang Lao, I succeeded." He called out and found that Pang Lao was gone. He put the pill in a bottle beside him and prepared to take a rest.

Refining pills is too laborious, so generally, lower-level alchemists must take a nap after refining pills.

Ling Bai fell asleep and forgot that this was Pang Lao's room.

Pang Lao came back from outside and found that Ling Bai had fallen asleep on the spot. He shook his head. This kid was really crazy to do things. He refined for a whole day.

Suddenly he saw the bottle next to Ling Bai, picked it up and found a pill in it.

"This kid really refined it." Pang Lao did not wake Ling Bai up. He knew that Ling Bai needed a good sleep.

The next day, Ling Bai woke up and felt very comfortable all over his body. Then he got up and stretched, and saw Pang Lao sitting cross-legged beside him.

"Old Pang, I made it."

"See, this is the most basic elixir. Don't be so excited. You still have a long way to go."

"Hehe, Old Pang, this is not the first time I have made an elixir. Can't you be a little excited?"

"You kid, can't you be a little more modest? Now you are already an ordinary-level alchemist. You need to practice more in the future, otherwise your talent will be wasted."

"Don't worry, Old Pang, I won't fall behind." Ling Bai said goodbye to Old Pang and went to the Mercenary Guild. He remembered that he had obtained 6,000 points. Let's see if he can exchange for some good things.

He has almost understood the Lingyun Sword Art. With his current cultivation, he can no longer understand any advanced sword skills. It's better to go to the Mercenary Guild to exchange for some.

When he came to the Mercenary Guild, Ling Bai looked at the martial arts on the mercenary store and felt that he was no longer a poor man. 6,000 task points can still be exchanged for a lot of things.

Ling Bai stopped his eyes on a high-level Xuan-level sword skill and felt that this sword skill was very suitable for him.

Cang Tian Jian Jue, Xuan-level advanced sword technique, priced at 4,000 task points.

After hesitating for a moment, Ling Bai walked to the window of the mercenary shop, "I want to exchange Cang Tian Jian Jue."

"Okay, sir, please wait." Ling Bai handed the token in, and after a while, the staff sent out a book of sword techniques and his token.

"Sir, keep it well, welcome to come again next time."

Ling Bai looked at the 2,000 task points in his hand, suddenly thought of something, and returned to the window.

"Hello, give me another Huang-level intermediate technique and Huang-level intermediate martial arts."

Ling Bai spent 500 task points to buy these things. He was going to go back to Qingshan City in a few days, and these things would be gifts for Brother Hou.

After leaving the mercenary guild, Ling Bai went to the Mu Ling mercenary group again and found that they were all practicing. Ling Bai talked about some things with Mu Ling and left.

Mu Ling told him that they were going to take on an escort mission in half a month, and they would need Ling Bai's help at that time. Ling Bai agreed, after all, he was also a member of the mercenary group.

Chapter 45 Return to Qingshan City

After leaving the Mu Ling Mercenary Group, Ling Bai returned to his house and took out the Cang Tian Sword Art that he had just exchanged.

The Cang Tian Sword Art is divided into three styles, Cloud Shadow Slash, Sky Slash, and Cang Tian Slash. Each style is stronger than the other. With Ling Bai's current cultivation, he can only practice the first style, Cloud Shadow Slash.

The second style, Sky Slash, can only be practiced after reaching the Earth Martial Realm, and Cang Tian Slash requires the peak of the Earth Martial Realm.

After Ling Bai read the introduction of the Cang Tian Sword Art, he felt the difference between the Xuan-level high-level martial arts and other low-level martial arts, and it would also limit people's cultivation realm.

After he practiced the first style, Cloud Shadow Slash, he finally understood why the Cang Tian Sword Art required realm.

The spiritual power required for each move is an extremely large amount. With his current spiritual power, he can only perform half of the Cloud Shadow Slash, but the power is comparable to his Sword into Rain.

If Ling Bai has enough spiritual power, he feels that Cloud Shadow Slash is stronger than the Sword into Rain he can perform at this stage.

Of course, his Sword into Rain is an evolving move. As long as his swordsmanship is enhanced, the power of Sword into Rain will be enhanced.

After practicing the first move of the Blue Sky Sword Art, Ling Bai left his house and went to the horse market in Mo City.

This time he bought a carriage. He still has a lot of silver on him, but the spiritual stones have been spent now. But he will be able to earn it back soon because he is now an alchemist.

Ling Bai drove the carriage towards Qingshan City. It had been several months since he left Qingshan City. He wondered if Brother Hou and the others were doing well.

The Hou family in Qingshan City was as peaceful as before Ling Bai left, and everyone was doing their own job.

Xiao Bai is now a master of the second level of the Spiritual Martial Realm. Although he has no martial arts, he is enough to protect the safety of the Hou family.

Since Ling Bai taught Xiang Tianju a lesson last time, the Xiang family is no longer so arrogant and no longer specifically troubles the Hou family.

After all, Xiang Tianju, the strongest of their Xiang family, was defeated, and they did not have the strength to seek revenge on the Hou family.

That day, Hou Hu received news that Hou Yu was going to take his senior sister back to Qingshan City this time, because the days in Qingshan City are relatively plain and not as tense as in the academy, so he took the time to relax himself.

After Hou Hu knew about it, the entire Hou family moved, because Hou Yu's senior sister was a strong man in the Xuanwu Realm, and Hou Hu certainly did not dare to neglect her.

The Xiang family on the other side of Qingshan City also started to move, but Hou Hu didn't know that the two families started to move at the same time. It seems that Ling Bai's return this time should be very lively.

Ling Bai drove the carriage slowly. The journey that was supposed to take three days took him five days.

On the way, Ling Bai's cultivation level broke through one level. After fighting with Xuan Wu at the mercenary conference, Ling Bai realized a lot of things, and he practiced alchemy for a day with Pang Lao.

The spiritual power in his body grew rapidly. On the third day, he sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough, so he stayed for a day to break through, which took an extra day.

The carriage appeared in front of the gate of Qingshan City. Ling Bai walked out of it and led the horse slowly towards the Hou Mansion.

Back in Qingshan City, Ling Bai felt like he was back home, and he felt very comfortable.

Although the streets of Qingshan City were not as lively as Mo City, they were very warm. Everyone greeted each other. Although Ling Bai had been away for several months, the neighbors still knew him.

Ling Bai responded to them with a smile, and then came to the back door of the Hou Mansion. When Ling Bai was ready to go back, he would continue to use the carriage, so he brought the carriage in from the back door.

After tying the horse, Ling Bai came to the courtyard of the Hou family guards. There was no change here since he left. He knocked on Xiao Bai's room door, but no one came to open the door.

Normally, at this time, the guards of the Hou family would have returned to rest.

Ling Bai knocked on the doors of the previous rooms again, but no one came out. Ling Bai walked towards the front hall of the Hou family. Could it be that the Hou family had something to do today, and none of the guards were there.

At this time, many people gathered in the front hall of the Hou family. Xiao Bai brought the guards of the Hou family to protect Hou Yu and Hou Hu together.

"Master, Miss, it seems that we are in trouble today. I'm afraid that guy will not let it go."

"Hey, Xiao Bai, now we can only hope that Senior Sister can stop that person, otherwise we will not end well." Hou Yu sighed and said.

"Master, I will fight with my brothers later, you should leave quickly, you can go to Mocheng to find Brother Lingbai, with his talent, he should be able to take you in now."

"Xiaobai, what are you talking about? I am the master of the family, how can I let you lead people to die.

I will stop him, you take Yu'er away, you are the only Lingwu realm in our Hou family, Yu'er's safety is in your hands."

"Dad, I won't leave, we will die together." Hou Yu said while holding Hou Hu's hand.

While the two were talking, the woman fighting over there was blasted towards this side, and Hou Yu stepped forward to support her.

Chapter 46 Strange man, shocked Hou family

"Senior sister, how are you?"

"This guy is a bit strong, he is already the fourth level of Xuanwu realm, we may not be able to escape this time, I will hold him back later, you find a chance to escape, Yu'er will report this matter back to the academy."

"Senior sister, you will die, let's go together."

"Silly girl, if we go together, no one can leave, remember what I said."
