Chapter 62 Learning Alchemy
ps: I added an achievement in the previous chapter. If you want to see it, you can take a look back.
On this day, Si Tan'er finished teaching Xu Mu the alchemy technique step by step. When the two of them sat down to drink tea and rest, Xu Mu asked: "What level of alchemist is Miss Si?"
"First level! Make Senior Xu laugh!"
There was a hint of shyness in Si Tan'er's crimson pupils.
Her grandfather is a well-known alchemy master in Liyang City, but she has no talent in alchemy.
It is a bit ironic to say that the cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi training is still lingering at the first level.
"With Miss Si's cultivation talent, there is hope for foundation building in the future! When it comes to alchemy, you don't have to push too hard!" Xu Mu consoled her.
Si Tan'er is not yet thirty years old, but she has already reached the fifth level of Qi training. Her talent is not inferior to Leng Yuening's, and she does have a high chance of building a foundation in the future.
"Senior Xu, thank you! Compared with senior, I'm still far behind!"
Si Tan'er looked at Xu Mu with a hint of envy.
At the end of Qi training in his early sixties, he is already considered excellent, not to mention that the other party is also a part-time alchemist.
Especially during these few days of getting along, she noticed Xu Mu's terrifying talent for learning. In the past, she could barely understand the elixir techniques that she had learned for a long time before he could figure them out.
The thick elixir was explained in detail, and it only took the other party three days to learn it by heart.
You know, it took her a full month to just memorize it.
This kind of talent really makes Si Tan'er envious.
What Si Tan'er didn't know was that Xu Mu's previous talent was worse than hers, and it was only because of his success in body training that he had been reincarnated many times that he had the current talent for learning.
Xu Mu felt the envy in Si Tan'er's mood and couldn't help but smile.
Unexpectedly, he would also be envied by others one day.
He used to be an old cultivator that everyone looked down upon!
"Miss Si, I wonder if I can ask you something?"
"Senior Xu, it doesn't matter if you say it."
"Are all the elixirs refined by your grandfather sold to the Alchemist Guild?"
After a few days of getting along, the relationship between the two has become much closer.
Only after Xu Mu understood the other party's character did he dare to ask the doubts in his heart.
He didn't believe that the alchemists' guild would be so oppressive and that the alchemists would really be obedient.
Si Taner smiled and instantly understood what Xu Mu meant.
"That's not true! Our Si family used to have our own medicine shop, and the elixirs refined by my grandfather were sold in our own medicine shop. The Alchemist's Guild would not care about this!"
"If you don't have a drug store, the alchemist can also sign a contract with the drug store and sell the elixirs directly to the drug store! As long as the contract is notarized by the alchemist guild, there won't be any big problem!"
"I see!"
Only then did Xu Mu suddenly realize.
It seems that the Alchemist Guild also knows that they cannot be pushed too hastily.
To be able to open a pharmacy in Liyang City, one does not have to be a powerful person, and one must have strong connections.
The alchemist's guild is not compromising with the casual alchemists, but with the forces behind these medicine shops.
But it's not that simple to sign a contract with a drug store.
When supply exceeds demand, there will be competition everywhere.
But for Xu Mu, it is not a big problem. As long as the elixir is practiced well, there is no need to worry about finding a buyer.
Xu Mu studied with Si Tan'er for seven days, and after mastering all the essentials of refining Xuanyuan Dan, Si Tan'er took him to find Si Xuanjing again.
Si Xuanjing was still a little surprised that Xu Mu had learned all the essentials and elixir techniques in seven days.
"Fellow Daoist Xu is really talented. I originally thought it would take at least half a month!"
"Fellow Taoist Si, thank you!"
For the next time, he stayed in the alchemy room every day, with Si Xuanjing guiding him step by step in refining Xuanyuan Dan.
Si Xuanjing did not do anything. He was too old and could not make elixirs for a long time. Otherwise, he would not have the leisure and elegance to teach others how to make elixirs.
A month later, Xu Mu settled the remaining spiritual stones and said goodbye.
"Grandpa, how is Senior Xu studying?"
"Not bad!" Si Xuanjing praised, stroking his beard.
Among the alchemists he knew, Xu Mu's talent was definitely at the forefront.
"However, there is still a long way to go before we can earn spiritual stones with Xuanyuan Dan." Si Xuanjing clicked his tongue and smiled.
If you want to be an alchemist, you don't just have talent, you also need money.
A lot of practice is essential.
Talent only reduces the consumption of this resource.
"oh!"
Si Tan'er was not surprised by this situation.
Alchemy is not that easy to learn. It is obviously a bit fanciful to think of starting a profession and making money in just one month.
Many people, like Xu Mu, wanted to make money through alchemy. They invested a lot in the early stage, but as a result, there was no profit and they had no money to continue investing. In the end, they had no choice but to give up.
However, this senior's alchemy skills are not bad and he should be able to persevere.
It's just that she felt a little regretful.
After the course is over, you will no longer be able to chat with the other person.
Compared with the practitioners she knew, Senior Xu was not only well-informed, but also humorous. After spending a month together, she felt that the two of them were quite compatible.
"Speaking of which, this kid is really stingy. Everyone else has to study for two or three months, but he is the only one who only takes one month! Hey!"
Si Xuanjing shook his head regretfully, turned around and walked towards the house.
"Tan'er, make some tea and wait for new students to come over!"
"good!"
…
In the alchemy room opened underground, there was a red pill furnace. Under the urging of Xu Mu's pill formula, the lid of the furnace opened suddenly, and seven emerald-green pills flew out from it, which were collected by Xu Mu.
in a bottle.
"It seems that my talent has indeed improved a lot. After just a few attempts, I have gained more than a hundred points of alchemy experience."
Seeing that Xu Mu had reached proficiency; 219/800, Xu Mu was very satisfied.
Of course, the reason why he has made such rapid progress is not only that his talent has indeed improved, but also because his level of firebending is high enough.
During the recent period, he once again started to integrate fire spells, and his fire control skills have made great progress.
Putting away the third-level alchemy furnace he had just bought, Xu Mu decided to start adding more points tomorrow and then refine a large amount of Xuanyuan Dan.
He only has seven or eight thousand low-grade spiritual stones left in his hands now. If he doesn't make money, paying the rent next time will be a problem.
“I originally thought I could live a happy life for a few years, but now I realize it’s not easy to live in a big place!”
After dinner in the evening, Xu Mu stopped Lan Shijin, who was about to go to the kitchen to clear away the dishes.
"Fellow Daoist Lan, do you still want to deal with me today?"
Lan Shijin's face turned red quickly, she let out a soft sigh, and hurried to the kitchen.
"Ms. sir, what are you talking about?" Ye Yingying came over curiously with a big belly and asked.
"Nothing! How about my husband accompanying you tonight?"
"Um!"
Ye Yingying's face showed joy.
Leng Yuening happened to be passing by, her face obviously a little unhappy.
Because Xu Mu hasn't been here for several days.
"Ning'er, how about we come together?"
Both women immediately blushed.
It's a pity that his little idea did not succeed in the end.
…
early morning!
The morning light is dim in the east.
Standing in front of the window on the third floor, Lan Shijin simply arranged her robes, then quietly went downstairs and started busy in the kitchen.
After the meal was ready, Xu Mu came down from the third floor leisurely and cleaned up a few drops of water stains stuck to the stairs.
After breakfast, Lan Shijin accompanied Ye Yingying and Leng Yuening to the city, preparing to see a doctor to check the condition of the fetus.
In the past, there were no conditions in Fangshi, but now that there are conditions, we naturally have to do our best to avoid accidents.
Xu Mu entered the underground alchemy and began to add points to his alchemy skills.
