Chapter 697 Giving Spiritual Grass

With a nod, Qin Fengming followed senior brother Wen Taixing and walked towards the cave.

Although Qin Fengming was a little disappointed that Master Weiming was out, he didn't take it to heart. Alchemy is different from other skills. The threshold for monks is much lower than that of making talismans, formations and puppets.

It can be said that anyone who is a cultivator can make elixirs regardless of their level of cultivation. However, the grade of the elixir being refined and the success rate are related to the monk's talent for alchemy.

Of course, to make elixirs, you must know the properties and efficacy of various spiritual herbs in detail, you must also be able to control various fire temperatures, and the techniques during refining must be extremely sophisticated. However, not all monks can possess these. .

If you can get the guidance of an alchemy master, it will be of great help to improve the success rate of alchemy and point out minor mistakes in alchemy.

At this point, Wen Taixing, who is a monk in the middle stage of transforming into an infant, is completely qualified. Wen Taixing's alchemy skills are not as good as those of Weiming Zhenren, but they are not too different.

Although Qin Fengming and Wen Taixing are both disciples of Zhenren Weiming, their cultivation levels are too different. Qin Fengming still behaves extremely respectfully in front of Wen Taixing, just like he does with other Huaying monks.

"Junior brother, please sit down and talk." Seeing Qin Fengming still standing after entering the cave, Wen Taixing couldn't help being slightly stunned and said.

"Junior brother, just stand and listen to the instructions of the senior brother. Since the master has asked the senior brother to teach the junior brother on his behalf, then the senior brother is as if the master is here in person at this time. If you have any instructions, senior brother, just tell me."

Qin Fengming bowed and saluted, and said with a very respectful expression on his face.

Looking at the young monks in front of him, Wen Taixing felt a lot in his heart. It was the first time in tens of thousands of years that such a thing could be recognized by five great monks and accepted as his direct disciples.

What's even more rare is that although the monk in front of him is young, he doesn't have any pride at all.

"Well, in that case, senior brother will recount what the master said when he left. The master said that you already have a certain foundation in various techniques of alchemy. What you lack is the knowledge of various spiritual herbs. Control the time during refining, and your experience needs to be improved.”

"These cannot be made up for in a short time. Therefore, Master will leave more than a hundred jade slips of classics. Within this year, you will mainly understand these jade slips. If there is anything, If you have any questions, you can ask your senior brother."

As Wen Taixing spoke, he raised his hand, and a storage ring appeared in his hand, and he gently handed it to Qin Fengming.

When Qin Fengming saw this, he immediately knelt on his knees and took the storage ring with the utmost respect. Although this was not handed over by Master Wei Ming himself, it was no different from the hands of senior brother Wen Taixing and the master's presence.

"This disciple will definitely live up to Master's expectations and study hard in alchemy."

"Okay, junior brother, that cave will be your training place for the next year. If you need anything, you can also tell senior brother. At this time, you should keep the prohibition token."

After bowing and saluting again, Qin Fengming took the token and couldn't wait to walk towards the cave.

Watching the young monk who entered the cave disappear in front of him, Wen Taixing sat on the stone chair for a long time, then smiled to himself, sighed, moved, and walked towards another cave.

Seeing hundreds of classics and jade slips piled in front of him, Qin Fengming was very excited. A great monk carefully selected the classics. You don't need to ask to know that they are very precious.

For Qin Fengming, it did not take him too long to delve into the art of alchemy. He was able to win the alchemy skills competition because he had a solid foundation in weapon refining and had read the alchemy experiences of many senior masters.

If he wanted to improve his alchemy skills, Qin Fengming still had to do a lot.

Qin Fengming made up his mind that within the next year, he would devote himself to studying the classics and jade slips in front of him, and he would not pay attention to other things.

Time passed day by day, Qin Fengming sat in the cave, and he never came out again.

Except for feeding the diluted mysterious liquid to the spirit beasts and spirit insects, he did not move at all.

As the number of classics and jade slips in front of him continued to decrease, Qin Fengming became more and more familiar with alchemy. With Qin Fengming's current level of cultivation, it should not be difficult to refine the elixirs needed to build the foundation and become a monk in the elixir realm.

But for more advanced elixirs, it is difficult to succeed with his current level of cultivation.

It is mentioned countless times in the jade slips of classics that when refining elixirs, as the efficacy of the elixirs increases, the number of spiritual herbs required for refining will also increase dramatically. The monks allocate more spiritual consciousness to control it.

Qin Fengming is self-aware and cannot be forced to make elixirs, otherwise the gains will outweigh the losses.

On the tenth month after Qin Fengming entered the cave, he finally read through the hundreds of classics and jade slips left by Master Weiming.

There is not a single elixir recipe among these ancient jade slips. They are entirely the elixir refining experience of the senior weapon refining masters. Although he did not refine the elixir himself, Qin Fengming felt that the harvest was extraordinary.

Some bad habits and minor deviations I had not noticed when refining elixirs in the past were also corrected during the study. With these tips, the success rate when refining alchemy will definitely increase.

Looking at the smiling young monk in front of him, Wen Taixing smiled slightly and said: "Junior brother, after seeing the jade slips of classics left by the master, I think your alchemy skills must have improved greatly. When the master left, he still left behind I have bought a lot of spiritual herbs for you to practice alchemy with your own hands."

After answering some of Qin Fengming's questions about alchemy, Wen Taixing spoke.

Qin Fengming was deeply moved when he heard that his master still had spiritual herbs left behind. Spiritual herbs are different from the materials for refining weapons. The value of spiritual herbs is determined by the year they grow.

Although there are a large number of spiritual herbs in many high mountains and dense forests in the world of immortality, after tens of millions of years of harvesting by monks, there are only a few that can be found now.

Even if the big sects deliberately plant and cultivate them, in the face of the demand of many monks, the number of spiritual herbs seems to be seriously insufficient. Although the spiritual herbs left by the master are not old things, they must be in large quantities, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the training requirements. The purpose of his alchemy.

After receiving the storage ring handed over by senior brother Wen Taixing, Qin Fengming released his spiritual consciousness and glanced at the storage ring. Qin Fengming was immediately shocked.

There were hundreds of kinds of spiritual herbs in this ring. Although he had not carefully identified them, after a brief glance, he discovered more than a dozen precious plants that were extremely difficult to find in this world. Spiritual grass.

"Thank you Master for giving me such a magical herb. I will use it carefully without wasting Master's efforts."

Qin Fengming also knew about the spiritual herbs given to him by Master Wei Ming. Most of them were not for him to refine all these spiritual herbs into elixirs and only use them, but for him to cultivate them well.
