Into the World of Medicine

Chapter 17 Alchemy "You girl, you are very lucky." Yuan Li said with a smile, "Actually, under normal circumstances, alchemists use animal fire. Many alchemists will recover perhaps As a contracted beast, Warcraft uses the beast fire of Warcraft for refining medicine. That little fox of yours, if I read it correctly, should be the Sky Fire Fox. The Sky Fire Fox's Sky Fire is in the beast fire, so it is considered top-notch. ."

"It seems that Xiaohong is really useful!" Murong Qingyan nodded clearly.

After hearing Murong Qingyan's address to Sky Fire Fox, Yuan Li couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Today's Fire Fox is a born divine beast. When it grows up in the future, it will definitely not be comparable to ordinary magical beasts. It's such a divine beast, but it has such a name.

If Xiao Hong heard Yuan Li's thoughts at this moment, she would definitely be moved to tears. Because finally someone knew her pain about her name.

"By the way, Master, what kind of flame did you use to make elixirs?" Murong Qingyan asked curiously, "You must have used animal fire too!"

If there is still divine fire, then the heat of the earth's core can definitely be felt. As the number one divine fire, Earth Core Yan is still very sensitive to the existence of other divine fires.

"Yes." Yuan Li nodded and then waved his hand.

A huge monster appeared in the alchemy room. The appearance of the monster is no different from that of a lion. It has golden fur and looks majestic. However, there is a tuft of white hair on its forehead, which not only does not damage its majesty, but also gives it a hint of majesty that makes people surrender.

"White-headed Flame Lion." Murong Qingyan could tell what kind of monster it was at a glance, "And it is already a level ten monster. It should soon be able to overcome the tribulation and enter the ranks of divine beasts."

"Haha, you girl is quite discerning." Yuan Li waved his hand and took back his contracted monster into the monster space again, "This white-headed flame lion is a fire monster. After I contracted with it, , you can use its beast fire at will."

Murong Qingyan nodded knowingly, this white-headed flame lion was a good match for his master. Moreover, this white-headed flame lion is about to advance into a divine beast. Its beastly fire is probably even worse than Xiaohong's!

Although Xiaohong is a born divine beast, he is still young after all, even if his sky fire is top-notch. Xiao Hong now has no way to unleash all the power of Sky Fire.

"Girl, you have to remember that the refining of elixirs requires a very high mental strength of an alchemist." Yuan Li continued to explain, "The higher the level of elixirs, the higher the mental strength of the alchemist." The higher it is. If the mental power is not enough, an explosion may occur when refining the elixir. In severe cases, the elixir may even destroy people and kill people. This is why, among thousands of people, there may not be one You can become an alchemist."

"Among alchemists, different people use different flames, and the level of the flame is also very important for alchemy. The more powerful the flame, the easier it is to refine it successfully, and the grade of the refined elixir will also be The higher it will be. Divine fire is naturally the best choice, but there are only ten types of divine fire on the divine fire list, and many alchemists may not have the chance to see a divine fire once in their lifetime."

"So, at this time, the alchemist's best choice is to contract a fire-type monster. After contracting the monster, the alchemist can use the beast fire of the monster at will. Of course, if you cannot contract the monster, you can still borrow other ones. The method is like using the core of a fire-type World of Warcraft. However, this method will cost more money. Because good Warcraft cores may be hard to come by, and even if they are available, the price is very high."

When he said this, Yuan Li turned his head and looked at Murong Qingyan, his expression became serious, "Qingyan, you are a very lucky child. Even if ordinary people want to see the divine fire, it is impossible. Things. But at such a young age, you already possess two kinds of divine fire."

"But I don't want this to be a factor that restricts you. Having divine fire does not mean that you will definitely be able to become the top alchemist. If you want to become an alchemist, the most important thing is basic skills. Keep practicing and never fail. Only by learning from experience can we continue to make progress.”

"Master, I know what you want to say." Murong Qingyan nodded, "I won't rely too much on divine fire."

She knew that what the master said was not to hurt her, but to remind her not to think that she could relax with the divine fire in hand. If you want to become an alchemist, the most important thing is your alchemy skills.

"Yes." Seeing Murong Qingyan's statement, Yuan Li nodded with satisfaction, then picked up a medicinal plant from the table, threw it into the medicine cauldron, and then threw it into the flame again, "Qingyan, take care. The first step in refining alchemy is to refine the medicinal materials.”

The flames instantly engulfed the medicinal materials.

"The heat of the flame must be controlled well. Because the properties of various medicinal materials are different, the flame requirements for different medicinal materials are also different when refining. Just like this wisteria leaf, when refining, it needs The low temperature will melt away the fuzz around it. If the temperature rises all of a sudden, it will directly destroy the medicinal effect of the wisteria leaves."

Yuan Li was explaining and controlling the flames. The wisteria leaves inside the medicine cauldron slowly turned into a transparent liquid, flowing slowly.

"Dissipate the spiritual power and constantly feel the changes of the medicinal herbs. Remove all the impurities in the medicinal herbs, leaving only the pure essence. Then, add the second medicinal material again."

Murong Qingyan watched the movements of Yuan Li's hands intently, without even blinking. Although she had already understood this step, she still looked at it very carefully when Yuan Li demonstrated it.

After the first herb finally turned into liquid, Yuan Li then added the second herb.

"After adding this second medicinal ingredient,..."

Yuan Li explained and continued to demonstrate. The only voice left in the alchemy room was Yuan Li's voice. Murong Qingyan watched intently from the side, nodding from time to time.

After all the main herbs for alchemy were refined, Yuanli began to add auxiliary herbs. Secondary herbs are much easier to extract than primary herbs.

"After all the medicinal materials are refined, the most important step is to condense the elixir. Disperse your mental power, then wrap the essence of all the medicinal materials, and finally condense it into an elixir."

Yuan Li explained while condensing the elixir, "When condensing the elixir, your mental power must be highly concentrated. Use your mental power to fuse all the essences together."

The essence of all the medicinal materials in the medicine cauldron were gathered together, wrapped in it, and tightly surrounded by a ball of flames.

Even just watching from the sidelines, Murong Qingyan could feel the powerful spiritual power in the medicine cauldron. No wonder if you want to become an alchemist, you must have strong mental power. If the mental power is not enough, the elixir will not only be unable to condense in the end, but it may even become useless.

Gradually, a strong medicinal fragrance began to emit from the medicine cauldron.

"Each medicinal ingredient in the elixir requires a different temperature. Therefore, when condensing the elixir, you must pay attention to the control of the heat. If there is any deviation, the entire pot of elixir may be useless. .The closer you get to the end, the more careful you have to be to avoid falling short."

While speaking, Yuan Li did not stop moving his hands, and he carefully controlled the flames.

"Bang——", a low sound came from the medicine cauldron.

Yuan Li withdrew the flame. At this time, several round pills were lying quietly in the medicine cauldron.

"Master, this is a first-grade health elixir, isn't it?" Murong Qingyan could already tell what kind of elixir it contained just from the smell of the medicine.

Although she has not successfully refined the elixir so far, she can still know from the aroma of the elixir that it is a first-class healing elixir.

"You girl, you have a pretty good nose." Yuan Li nodded appreciatively, "This grade of healing elixir is the most basic elixir. It can be seen from the medicine powder you refined that you are refining medicinal materials. There is no problem in this regard. The most important thing for you is to learn how to condense elixirs."

"Master, I understand." Murong Qingyan nodded, "I will practice hard."

Seeing Murong Qingyan's serious attitude, Yuan Li nodded with satisfaction, "It would be best if you have such an awareness. Practice more and I believe you will soon learn how to condense pills."

Murong Qingyan nodded, said nothing more, and just started practicing.

Yuan Li watched Murong Qingyan practice from the side, thinking that if the young apprentice didn't understand something, he could provide some guidance.

Murong Qingyan did not hesitate at all, and followed the steps that Yuan Li had just demonstrated, and made the alchemy step by step. Whether she was refining medicinal materials or controlling flames, she didn't act like a new student at all. All movements flow smoothly. If it weren't for his prior knowledge, Yuan Li wouldn't have thought that the person standing in front of him was a new student. Such an action could only be accomplished by an experienced alchemist.

Time continued to pass, and after refining all the medicinal materials, Murong Qingyan began the last step - condensing the pill. This was also a step she had never succeeded in. Now that she saw her master's demonstration, she couldn't wait to try it.

Murong Qingyan carefully used the animal fire to wrap the essence of all the medicinal materials, and then began to use her mental power to fuse all the essence together.

When she really started trying, she discovered that everything was not as simple as she imagined. Various medicinal materials require different temperatures, and the control of the flame must be very precise. At the same time, she took away all her thoughts and let herself not think about anything, but concentrated all her mental power on the elixir.

Time passed minute by minute, and Yuanli on the side did not speak. When he saw Murong Qingyan's skillful movements, he couldn't help but be surprised. When it came to the last step of condensing the elixir, he, who had always been calm, started to become uncontrollably nervous.

"Ning!" Murong Qingyan shouted, then withdrew his flames.

When Yuan Li saw this situation, he immediately stepped forward. When he saw a few pills lying quietly in the medicine cauldron, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but cracked, "Okay, okay, you girl is really It's beyond my expectation! I didn't expect that you succeeded in the first try, and the quality of this elixir is still excellent."

Yuan Li did not expect such a result at all. He had always known that Murong Qingyan was very talented, but he never thought that this was just his first time making alchemy, and Murong Qingyan succeeded. Although Murong Qingyan had refined a lot of medicinal powder before.

But medicine powder and elixir are always different. The condensation of the elixir was the most difficult step, but now his little apprentice actually succeeded in it in one go. How could he not be happy with such an unexpected surprise?

Seeing several pills lying quietly inside the medicine cauldron, they are round and shiny, and the fragrance of the medicine makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Although Murong Qingyan didn't say anything, there was still joy in her eyes. She didn't expect that she would succeed in the first attempt. Moreover, she learned a lot from this experience. I believe that it will be easier for her to make alchemy in the future.

"You are really a very talented child." Yuan Li couldn't help but praise, "Even I couldn't compare to you back then."

"master!"

"Girl like you, you can really surprise people at any time!" Yuan Li smiled and praised, but then he continued, "However, Qingyan, even if the refining is successful, you Don't be proud either. Things like alchemy require continuous practice, and you must not be complacent just because of one success. This will not be good for your future."

Although he knew that Murong Qingyan was not such a person, Yuan Li still couldn't help but remind him. He finally accepted such a good apprentice, and he naturally hoped that his little apprentice could go further.

"Master, you can rest assured." Murong Qingyan smiled and promised, "I will not forget who I am just because of one success."

"That's good." Yuan Li nodded, and then said, "By the way, practicing alchemy is of course very important. But you must not relax when it comes to cultivation. In the upcoming college selection competition, our college will Many people will participate, although I don't require you to win the championship. But this is related to the candidates who enter the ancient secret realm. I hope you can go all out."

"Academy selection competition? Ancient secret realm?" A trace of doubt flashed in Murong Qingyan's eyes.

"You have just entered the academy not long ago. Maybe you are not very clear about these things!" Yuan Li touched his beard and explained with a smile, "The Ancient Secret Realm is opened every five years. The Ancient Secret Realm is a very important place. A mysterious place, full of dangers, but also full of opportunities. Everyone hopes to enter there."

"However, the opening time of the Ancient Secret Realm is limited. The next opening will be three months later. The number of people who can enter the Ancient Secret Realm is limited in each college, so they must pass the selection."

"At that time, there will be a selection in the academy. In the end, fifty people will be selected to be able to enter the ancient secret realm. Even if you are my disciple, you must pass the selection before you can enter the ancient secret realm."

"Selection competition?" Murong Qingyan raised a slight smile on her lips, "It sounds quite interesting."

"You girl, do you think this is fun!" Looking at Murong Qingyan's calm look, Yuan Li said, "I tell you, it is not easy to get a place. Everyone in the elite class All students will participate. However, the selection will be very fierce. If you are not selected, you will have to wait for another five years."

"Master, you can rest assured." Murong Qingyan patted her chest and said with a smile, "I will definitely get the quota. Speaking of which, I am also very interested in this ancient secret realm."

Hearing Murong Qingyan's words, Yuanli didn't know whether he should smile or be sad, "You girl, you are quite confident. However, I still have to tell you first, the competition in the selection will be It’s very intense. If you can get a spot and enter the ancient secret realm, it will definitely be a good thing for you.”

"Looking at it this way, I think I am quite lucky!" Murong Qingyan said with a smile, "The ancient secret realm that we have opened together for five years will be opened soon after I enter the academy. It's really It’s so exciting. But, master, what kind of place is the ancient secret realm?”

"The Ancient Secret Realm is a very mysterious place. There are many precious medicinal materials in it, and of course, there are also various rare and exotic animals." Yuanli explained, "If you have a chance, you are very likely to get what you want. Of course, there are some people who get nothing and end up losing their lives there.”

"In this world, opportunities and dangers go hand in hand. While there are various opportunities, there are also many dangers. Every year, there are people who go in and can't get out."

"It seems like this is an opportunity." Murong Qingyan nodded, and then asked, "Master, in addition to our college, will people from other colleges also enter?"

"Yes." Yuan Li nodded, "Each college will send fifty people to enter the ancient secret realm together. As for how other colleges are selected, I am not very clear."

"Along with people from other colleges!" Murong Qingyan's lips curved into a meaningful smile, "It seems that danger and opportunity really coexist!"

"On the surface, the four major colleges are in peace with each other, but in the past few years, the overt and covert fighting between the several colleges has become very fierce." Yuan Li said, "In the ancient secret realm, in addition to being prepared for dangers that may appear at any time, Likewise, beware of sneak attacks by people from other colleges. Those who appear next to you may not necessarily be your teammates."

"Master, I will definitely get a quota and enter the Ancient Secret Realm." Murong Qingyan promised with a smile, "I am really curious about this Ancient Secret Realm and really want to enter and study it."

"I have been to this ancient secret realm many times. It is indeed a good place to practice there." Yuan Li said with a smile, "However, everything is not as simple as you think. The degree of danger there is much higher than that of the academy's back Mountain, that is ten times or even a hundred times greater."

"Then, I will take a closer look to see what it is like inside." Murong Qingyan said with a smile, "It must be a good place to attract so many people!"

"In fact, there have always been legends that this ancient secret realm was left behind by a great master who had transcended the tribulation period." Yuan Li continued, "It is said that this ancient secret realm contains the inheritance left by this great master. Many people come here for this. That’s why they want to enter the ancient secret realm.”

"Is it the inheritance left by the great power?" Murong Qingyan nodded, "It sounds really interesting."

"You girl, I really can't do anything to you." Yuan Li shook his head in amusement, "Everyone who enters the ancient secret realm wants to gain some benefit. But you are the only one who thinks it's interesting. Once you get in, you'll know what's going on. Things are not as simple as you say. Besides, you haven't gotten your quota yet!"

"I told you just now. Even if you are my disciple, you do not have any privileges. If you are not selected, then you are not qualified to enter the ancient secret realm."

"Don't worry, Master. Now that I know it, I will never let go of this opportunity." Murong Qingyan said with a smile, "Maybe the championship is a bit reluctant. However, getting the spot is a sure thing. Something happened."

Murong Qingyan was not worried about this. What she said was true. Her cultivation was not the highest in the academy, but it was more than enough to be selected into the top fifty.

In the following time, Murong Qingyan almost lived the same life. Practicing, refining alchemy and resting, this is almost a reflection of her life.

Murong Qingyan was not bored with such a busy day, but felt quite fulfilled.

A month later, in the alchemy room——

Looking at the few round pills lying quietly in the medicine cauldron, Yuan Li felt that he could now calmly look at all the things that were almost unreasonable.
