Drunk Immortal Gourd

The middle-aged woman finally found two people to talk to, and naturally she would not let them go easily. She pulled the two of them and stood outside the alchemy room to chat.

Shangguan Yan and Qing Yang have been nesting in the yard for the past few months, and they finally came out today. There is nothing to do anyway, so it doesn't matter if they stay a little longer. These two seniors have lived in Wuliang Mountain for a long time, so they should know the situation here better. Can get useful information.

Shangguan Yan and the middle-aged woman seemed to be reluctant to meet each other. The more they chatted, the closer they got. Qingyang would only occasionally interject, but most of his attention was focused on the old man who was refining the elixir inside. Qingyang has never refined the elixir since he refined it more than two years ago. Now that he suddenly saw someone else refining the elixir, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

The old man in the room didn't care about the interference outside. He sat in front of the alchemy furnace and closed his eyes and meditated. I don't know how long it took, but he seemed to have gained something. So he took out the materials and placed them in front of him one by one, and then lit the furnace. , took out the first material and threw it into the alchemy furnace.

Qingyang saw everything in his eyes. There was no problem with the order and the technique was smooth enough. However, Qingyang always felt that something was wrong. There seemed to be some gap between him and a real alchemist. However, this did not affect the elixir refining. Qingyang just He watched quietly and didn't say much.

The old man in the room was operating in an orderly manner. After seeing more, Qingyang finally discovered the problem. The old man's elixir recipe was fine, the refining steps were correct, the materials were not wrong, and even the refining techniques were correct. Can't fault it, everything is right, but put together it just doesn't make sense. how to say? That is, the entire alchemy process has no spirituality. It simply copies the steps on the elixir recipe without its own understanding and adjustment, and it seems very rigid.

Everything requires talent. If you have good talent, you will learn something with half the effort. If you have poor talent, you will need to spend more time than others. This is true for ordinary people, not to mention immortal cultivators. Refining alchemy is an extremely complicated matter. , the requirements for talent are even higher. If you just rely on rote memorization and mechanical repetition of other people's actions, without your own understanding, it will be difficult to succeed.

Qingyang could tell that this old man really liked alchemy and spent a lot of energy on it. Otherwise, he would not have been able to improve his alchemy skills to the level of a foundation-building alchemist without talent. But this old man is also really He has no talent, which can be seen from his operation.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. In order to refine the Tongqiao Pill, this old man spent several years in preparation. In the past few months, he wasted dozens of materials, but it was not without gain. Although the operation was not spiritual, it was also It's pretty good, and I haven't made any big mistakes.

Unknowingly, more than an hour passed. The old man in the room was operating according to the refining method of Tongqiao Dan. Only the last two of the hundreds of materials originally piled next to him were left. The refining of the elixir had reached the most critical stage. At this moment, if everything goes well, the Tongqiao Pill may not be successfully refined, but Qingyang clearly felt that the old man seemed to be nervous.

The most taboo thing when refining elixirs is nervousness. When you are nervous, you are prone to making mistakes. Seeing that the liquid medicine in the elixir furnace was almost hot, the old man picked up the materials on the ground and threw them directly into the elixir furnace. He even forgot to clean the materials. Qingyang felt very regretful for a while.

The old man also reacted after completing the operation, but faced with this situation, he had no choice but to watch the liquid in the alchemy furnace change in an unknown direction.

He has refined the Tongqiao Pill dozens of times. Either he made a mistake at the beginning or made a mistake later. In short, he never succeeded. This time the operation went smoothly. He thought he could successfully refine the Tongqiao Pill, but who knew that he would become nervous when he got nervous? Mistakes were made, leading to failure.

The old man was immediately very upset. In order to improve his alchemy skills, he wasted countless training time. In order to refine the elixir, he lost countless natural materials and earthly treasures. In order to refine the Tongqiao elixir, he delayed countless business matters, but in the end he still could not succeed. Could it be that I really don’t have any talent in alchemy? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get a few more wrinkles on his face.

Seeing that the other party's alchemy was about to fail, Qingyang finally couldn't help but said: "Increase the firepower, and at the same time, keep tapping the alchemy furnace with both hands to separate out the impurities in the materials just added, and remove the floating foam on the top and gradually reduce it. Firepower may be able to save this furnace of elixir.”

Facing the situation in front of him, the old man in the room was in a hurry and was pessimistic and disappointed. When he suddenly heard what Qingyang said, he was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw. He unconsciously followed it. It was also amazing that with a quick and dazzling operation, the liquid in the alchemy furnace was actually saved, and the elixir refining gradually returned to normal.

Neither Shangguan Yan nor the middle-aged woman knew how to refine elixirs, but they could tell that without Qingyang's few reminders just now, the old man's elixir refining would have really failed. Both of them couldn't help but He looked at Qingyang, his eyes full of shock and confusion.

Shangguan Yan was mainly shocked. Before she came, she heard Qingyang said that he knew alchemy, but she didn't expect that Qingyang's alchemy was so powerful. With just a few words, he could prevent the foundation-building alchemist from failing. Then his own How advanced should the alchemy skills be? She had always had doubts about Qingyang's identity before, but now she was even more certain that Qingyang's identity was definitely not simple.

The middle-aged woman was more confused. She had observed Qingyang and Shangguan Yan when they came in, and found nothing unusual. She only thought they were two young lovers who had sneaked out for a private meeting, but they didn't. Thinking that this boy has such a good eye for alchemy. At this time, she looked Qingyang up and down again, but she still couldn't see any problem. She had no choice but to attribute this matter to the fact that the authorities were blind to the eyes, her old man was too stupid, and Qingyang was talented in alchemy.

Not only the two of them, but even the old man in the room couldn't help but turn his head. Qingyang quickly reminded: "It is most important to avoid distractions when refining alchemy. If you continue to look like this, you will really fail."

Being reminded by Qingyang, the old man in the room suddenly became alarmed and quickly turned around to continue refining his Tongqiao elixir. The previous mistakes more or less affected the refining of the elixir. In the subsequent operations, the old man's Two more mistakes were made, all thanks to Qingyang's reminder.

Because of the first success, the old man had trust in Qingyang. After two reminders, the old man completely followed Qingyang's method without any discount. Under Qingyang's guidance, no major problems occurred again. Despite the mistake, the refining of the Tongqiao Pill went smoothly.
