Volume 1: This music should only exist in the sky Chapter 70: Mission
In the name of giving special training to her senior fellow devil, Shangguan Jinse rested comfortably for a few days. Within these few days, she taught Li Qinglang a good lesson in terms of types of herbs, growth habits, functional attributes, etc.
.
Of course, this is only the simplest part. The most difficult part is to teach him how to master the changes in the temperature of the spiritual flames in the alchemy furnace.
For different medicinal herbs, apart from the influence of the flame temperature, the simmering time will also affect their quality.
And after so many trainings, Shangguan Jinse also discovered the reason why Li Qinglang couldn't practice elixirs well - that is, his spiritual consciousness was too strong!
This provides him with great help in controlling the refining of many medicinal herbs at the same time. However, it also limits its development because he cannot control all the details.
"Qi Condensing Pill is the most basic elixir for practicing on the mountain, and it is also an essential resource for all Qi Condensing Realm disciples to practice. To a certain extent, at this stage, it is more valuable than spiritual stones!
The main materials for refining Qi Condensing Pills are Qi Condensing Grass, supplemented by some elixirs that strengthen the essence. Although there are 7,528 recorded Qi Condensing Pill prescriptions, the focus is on this Condensation Pill.
The use and refining of Qi grass.
"The current common methods are: first, put the Qi-Condensing Grass directly into the alchemy furnace for refining; second, use spiritual energy to grind it, crush the Qi-Condensing Grass and then put it in; third, only extract the warp threads on the Qi-Condensing Grass, and
Discard the leaves.
Like me, I usually squeeze the Ningqi grass into juice, just like you do with the leaves. And the difficulty of the leaves is even higher!
Of course, these methods have pros and cons, you can try them all, but don’t imitate me, because your level is not high enough.”
Li Qinglang looked at the junior sister who was walking back and forth in front of him with her hands behind her back, and regretted why he came to see her.
After all, it’s not like there is no elixir lineage in the Xianyin Sect.
At this moment, Shangguan Jinse was already immersed in the role-playing of being a senior sister and a master. How could he find Li Qinglang's inner thoughts?
"Okay, Junior Sister Jinse, will you still let me practice elixirs?"
Li Qinglang took the materials one by one, and then looked at her with a slight sigh.
"Aren't I telling you what to pay attention to? Practice, practice, or the alchemy furnace will explode later! It will kill you!"
Shangguan Jinse was interrupted and snorted angrily, then he walked to the recliner next to him and fell asleep.
Li Qinglang calmed down and began to refine the elixir according to his junior sister's instructions.
The first step is still to warm up the alchemy furnace. This time, Li Qinglang was very measured in his move. He just wrapped a wisp of spiritual energy around his fingertips and slowly injected it through the pores on the alchemy furnace.
The spiritual energy turned into a sea of fire inside, but it was not as turbulent and violent as before and suddenly dispersed. Instead, it was like the surface of a lake blown by the breeze, making gentle ripples.
Next is the process of “selecting materials”.
He did not rely on his powerful spiritual consciousness to refine the herbs all at once, but took several at once. For the refining of the Qi Condensing Grass, he chose the simplest one and threw it directly into it.
After a period of training, Li Qinglang's operations became more and more smooth, without any stagnation. And the flames transformed from spiritual energy in the alchemy furnace were really tepid in the literal sense.
Continuously and slowly simmering various medicinal herbs, just like last time, in the end there was only a ball of medicinal liquid floating in the flames.
But this time, the medicinal liquid finally condensed into an elixir with a much smoother surface and a faint medicinal fragrance.
Shangguan Jinse paused slightly after the fragrance of the medicine wafted out, but then covered it up.
"It's almost done, get ready to warm up the fire and close the furnace."
Following her prompts, Li Qinglang slowly reduced the output of spiritual energy in his hands, waiting for the fire in the alchemy furnace to burn to its fullest.
"Turn on the stove!"
As the junior sister spoke nervously, he immediately slapped the alchemy furnace with his palm, knocking the top cover away.
In the alchemy furnace, there is a round elixir the size of a fingernail, and the fragrance wafts out.
Li Qinglang reached out and grabbed all the elixirs in his palm. At the same time, he also did not forget to collect a few wisps of fire and pour them into them.
"Junior sister, how are you? The ammunition this time was quite successful, right?"
He put these elixirs into an elixir bottle and gave them to Shangguan Jinse.
"It's not bad! I've barely reached the entry level."
The elixirs are roughly divided into nine grades. If they are divided according to the realm of the practitioner, such as the three-grade elixirs given by Yu Wenji before, they actually correspond to those used for foundation building.
Just because the elixirs are different, there are specific subdivisions for each realm, which results in a huge elixir system.
In fact, the elixirs that Shangguan Jinse said were only entry-level are already at the foundation-building level.
But yes, these ninth-grade pills were not popular before, and they were talking about elixirs with thin spiritual energy. The elixirs that Li Qinglang refined before were actually slightly better than the elixirs.
But now, he can basically refine foundation-building elixirs!
"After practicing so many times, I believe you also have a certain understanding of medicinal herbs. Different materials require different heat levels, and even the time to mix them is also different.
For me, these are not a big deal. But for you, you need to practice repeatedly and find the most suitable time within your own spiritual power.
Although this sounds a bit arrogant, given Shangguan Jinse's talent in alchemy, he can still afford it.
"I have nothing more to teach you. In general, I have already told you about the properties of medicinal herbs, timing, methods of obtaining materials, etc.
The final test is the alchemist's mastery of spiritual consciousness. To you, this may seem very simple, but in fact it is also the most difficult part.
It's like a complete piece of glass that is broken. Although you can find all the pieces and then piece them together, there are still certain gaps between each part.
Sometimes you are too obsessed with satisfying this gap. On the contrary, you lose a natural degree of the elixir."
Originally, based on Shangguan Jinse's character, he should ask for more compensation from the fourth senior brother at this moment. But for some reason, she still informed her of her understanding one by one.
"I learned a lesson, thank you, junior sister!"
Li Qinglang took a few steps back, then bowed respectfully and said.
Shangguan Jinse, who was born in the Shangguan royal family of Yongzhou, suppressed his smile and turned slightly sideways, half accepting the gift.
"Okay, okay, don't do all these bells and whistles."
The little You in her hand is nearly four months old, and has grown to eighty centimeters. The hair on her body is black and white, and she looks really cute. At the moment, she is barking incessantly with its strange Clamp Neo voice.
"Seriously, do you really want to go to the southern battlefield? Unlike us alchemy monks, you probably want to go to the battlefield head-on!"
Li Qinglang was a little surprised by his junior sister's concern, but he just smiled to cover it up.
"The battlefield can best train a monk's adaptability, and it will also be a great test for the monk's killing power, defense, psychological endurance, etc.
Besides, if you go too, then why should I practice alchemy? There is no need to worry about getting hurt, because you are there, right?"
Shangguan Jinse rolled his eyes and chuckled.
"Who cares about you?"
Having said that, Li Qinglang, who had been harassing me here for many days, just said it smoothly.
"Since you are so bored, then I will go back. It just so happens that the things I asked my disciples to do have basically been completed."
"If you don't want to send it off, leave quickly!"
Shangguan Jinse didn't look back, but just sat on the side, holding Xiaoyou in his arms. His green fingers gently stroked Xiaoyou's hair. The latter was also lying next to her very comfortably.
"Then please return Xiaoyou to me."
Li Qinglang stepped forward and took Xiaoyou out of her arms.
"Let's go! If I remember correctly, we will leave in three or four days. Senior Brother Qi Yun said that he will arrange for you to go to the southern battlefield, but I don't know the specifics at the moment."
"You can go if you want. It doesn't matter if you don't go. Anyway, I have been here for so long. Master is so strict, there is nothing we can do."
Shangguan Jinse lay sprawled on the couch, not caring about his own image at all.
"Okay, okay, what's the matter? Well, I may go on a mission in a few days, and then I won't follow the large army to the southern battlefield. Otherwise, you can forget it with me."
As soon as he said this, Li Qinglang regretted it, because this was completely beyond the plot of the story.
"Of course, I still hope you can go with the large army. Safety is the main thing!"
"Hey, don't, don't, don't! I don't like safety, I just like to go out and play."
Shangguan Jinse didn't give him any chance at all, jumped up from the couch, and after saying that, he flew towards the peak of Jiu Jue Taoist.
"Senior Brother Qinglang, it's settled, I'll report to the master right away! I'll be with you then!"
Looking at the little junior sister's retreating figure, Li Qinglang couldn't help but sigh at his own mercy, and secretly sighed in his heart: What a sin!
But now that the words had been spoken, and she had already gone to find the master, he had no reason to refuse, so he stopped thinking about it. Anyway, the most important thing is to complete the task quickly, and then omit the unimportant plot in the middle.
, it should not matter.
When the time comes, send her directly to the southern battlefield, so that you can naturally follow the plot.
After thinking about it, Li Qinglang returned to his cave. This time it was also because Tang San called through the microphone, saying that his mission had been completed.
"Greetings to Senior Brother Changsheng!"
After Tang San conveyed the message to Li Qinglang, he quickly went up the mountain and waited at the entrance of the cave.
"How's it going? How's the situation at the Southern Mall?"
Li Qinglang held Xiaoyou in his arms, his face was calm and showed no emotion at all.
"On the southern battlefield, the main situation has not changed. Teng Snake Cave is still the main force. There are some hidden forces from Huohan Sect and Longyu Palace involved, but there is nothing to be afraid of.
It’s just that for some unknown reason, Teng Shedong has dispatched a lot of troops recently. Moreover, many of them are beings in the sect who are worthy of the title of genius. Not only can they inherit the sect’s great authority, but at least they can inherit the sect.
The legal system of a certain sect.
Li Qinglang kept tapping the table with the fingers of his right hand. In the original plot, the main cause of the chaos in the southern battlefield was Teng Snake Cave, and then Long Yu Palace and Huo Han Sect wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the forces in the northern region.
However, the battle was not as tragic as Tang San said when many sect geniuses were dispatched.
"What about the mission I asked you to take on?"
Chapter completed!
