Heavenly Dao Formula

It was rare for Mrs. Zhang not to draw a conclusion right away, but after pondering for a moment, he said, "Is it a shock...it looks like your style just now."

"Tsk tsk, it's such a rare character." Wang Renzhi, who didn't even bother to report his name before, seemed to be in high spirits at the moment, "Hey, I say you should change your profession and stop being a alchemist. Materials are hard to come by, you can’t just rely on a wooden sword to defeat demons, can you? Being an escort or coach might be more suitable for you.”

"It's too much for you to say that, Qingshan Township's examination is thanks to Xia Fan—" Halfway through the speech, Luo Youer suddenly seemed to remember something, and covered her mouth with her hand.

"Excessive?" Wang Renzhi shrugged, "We are a team that is going to act together. It is a risk for everyone to have a slow-down in the team. As for the taxi test you mentioned, I don't think it can be used as a basis-first Regardless of the large number of examination rooms, how can it be considered as the credit of one person for the fact that hundreds of candidates participated together? Could it be that without him, there would not even be a single passer in the Qingshan Town Scholars Examination?"

"Woo..." Luo You'er couldn't refute for a while.

"However, if you insist, Yu'er, I don't have to kick him out of the team," Wang Renzhi sighed lightly, "After all, I'm a person who wants to do big things, and the most I can do is to work harder on myself."

"Then you have to work harder." Luo You'er replied almost without thinking.

This time it was Wang Renzhi's turn to be astonished.

Xia Fan, the person involved, couldn't help but feel a little moved. He thought that the little girl had been rejecting him all the time, but he didn't expect that one day she would speak for him, and she retorted in the face of a handsome guy.

There is nothing more satisfying than seeing someone who looks better than you.

At this moment, Luo You'er turned her head, and quietly made a gesture of baring her teeth and claws at him.

What does it mean?

Xia Fan thought about it for a while, and almost didn't spit out his mouth.

Could she be a mock crab, reminding herself to pay back with fried crab?

"Master," Yue Feng said suddenly, "Since you said that xinxing is acquired, wouldn't the hexagram attributes also be artificially changed?

"Hehehe...good question." Mrs. Zhang stroked his pointed beard, "In fact, the Privy Council has conducted a detailed experiment to prove the plasticity of mind. To put it simply, ten people The children of the same hexagram are divided into two groups, one group has no worries about food and clothing, and the other group is freed on the street. In the end, the hexagrams of the three of them did change. It’s just that the price is extraordinary. It goes a step further in the law, in other words, the hexagram attributes can indeed be changed artificially, but the completely different xinxing also makes them become another person."

"According to the records of the Privy Council, there are indeed examples where a sudden change of hexagram attributes did not affect the practice, but they are all special circumstances and are difficult to reproduce. For example, people who lost their memory after serious injuries, or people who are insane." He looked at Xia Fan, "You don't have to be discouraged. Although it is difficult to improve the Zhen Attribute, it is not an alchemist who has broken through. You can first consider other spells, even kung fu skills, and when you accumulate a certain amount of merit and rise to the sixth rank or above, you will be able to do so." Apply directly to the Privy Council for materials."

There is actually a control group experiment, the accumulation of the Privy Council's hundreds of years should not be underestimated.

"Thank you, Master Zhang, for reminding me." Xia Fan said with some reservations. He was already mentally prepared for this result—when he wandered with his master, he noticed that some spells could be easily imitated by him, while others were much more difficult, and it often took a month or two to see signs of it . It's just that the master kept nagging that learning alchemy is a long-term process, and it's normal to spend three or four years to master it, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Only the shock technique that even the master didn't know, he just followed the other party's "dictation" and conceived it according to the gourd painting, and he could already feel the qi in his body start to move around, faster than any one he had learned before. All kinds of surgery are fast. Because of this, he devoted most of his energy to trying and improving the shock technique.

Now, Xia Fan finally got a systematic answer.

As for the classification by heart nature, he thinks it is completely understandable - just like some people in the previous life were good at science and engineering, while others were good at art. As thoughts shape character, character in turn strengthens thoughts.

"You mentioned meritorious service just now," Luo You'er asked curiously, "What is the promotion method of the Privy Council? How many levels are there in total?"

"Little girl, are you starting to think about getting promoted now? That's right! This kind of thing needs to be planned early." Mrs. Zhang praised, "The Privy Council is different from the Six Ministries. The rank is the rank, and the position is the position. The two cannot be compared. Starting from the beginning, alchemists have a total of eight ranks, which are Chukai, Shouxin, Wendao, Trial Front, Hundred Blades, Guardian, Green Sword, and Yuyi. When you eliminate evil spirits, create spells, improve materials and When you make talismans or make other great achievements, you may be promoted. As for the position... For example, no matter how long you work as an instructor, it is only a part of your duty and you cannot get meritorious service. "

"But you have also dealt with evil spirits before."

"Indeed, that's why I'm the sixth-rank Taoist, but it's only a sixth-rank." There was some regret in his tone. "As for the position, part of it is for the convenience of calling, and the other part is to connect with the six departments of the imperial court. Those fools who can't feel angry will never understand that it is not the square chair under the buttocks that determines the status, but what they own Strength."

"Okay, let's talk about grades here first. Now that you have completed the xinxing appraisal, you can go to the library of the Lubu by yourself and borrow the alchemy you want to learn with the seal of the alchemist." Master Zhang finally concluded.

"Excuse me...can any type of alchemy be used?" Wei Wushuang asked unexpectedly, "Do you need to spend extra money?"

"If you can learn one more alchemy with money, then the Privy Council will probably beg you to learn it." Master Zhang looked at him like he was looking at a fool, "The stronger the alchemist, the stronger the Privy Council. Is there any reason for the above to set up a card to enhance your strength? Apart from not being able to take out the books, and not to teach non-alchemists everything learned in the mansion, there are no other restrictions in the Ministry of Records."

"Heh, fat man, do you think that you can learn those alchemy techniques if you want?" Wang Renzhi probably regained his composure, and then aimed his ridicule at Wei Wushuang, "Alchemy is free, but it doesn't mean that medicinal materials and chips are also available. It's free, learn too much at once and be careful to die of poverty."

"Uh... If the materials are not too expensive, I should be able to afford them." Wei Wushuang retorted softly.

"Oh? That's why I underestimated you. But money can only solve the most basic problems, and it depends on how much you can learn." Those who scored the top ten in the exam."

"The top ten...why don't you go to Shangyuan City, Brother Wang?"

"You envy Shangyuan, but I don't. You can go there whenever you have money, but in terms of freedom, how can it compare to Jinxia City? Hey, only bumpkins will blindly yearn for big cities."

Xia Fan figured it out, this guy surnamed Wang is definitely either rich or noble, or both, and his family background should be ranked high in Jinxia City, otherwise it would be impossible to be so open-minded—especially In the Privy Council. At least when he was bragging about himself, Mrs. Zhang was just watching, without any intention of interfering.

He didn't seem to be targeting anyone deliberately, but he was used to talking like this.

"I also want to ask a question." Shangguancai stood up and said, "I have witnessed the battle between alchemists, to be honest...it is extremely clumsy, if it is against a seasoned Jianghu person or martial arts person, it is impossible Any power to fight back. Especially the point of calling out your own spells... Is it the same for top-rank alchemists?"

This angle of question immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Even Xia Fan wanted to know the answer.

"The first batch of new alchemists this year is really good, much smarter than the batch three years ago." Mrs. Zhang nodded with satisfaction, "Of course not! The technique comes from the heart, and it comes in a second, so why bother?" Speak it out with the help of the mouth? But even guards, and even Qingjian, will still read the spell aloud on some occasions, guess why?"

"Strengthen your consciousness?" Yue Feng tried to answer.

"Correct, expressing your thoughts can be regarded as the unity of mind and body. When the level is almost the same, the effect of reciting is definitely stronger than not reciting. If it has no effect on your situation, why not speak out? In addition, if you are conscious If it is clear enough, language can sometimes be used as a means of offense—for example, the spell that is spoken is the opposite of the spell that is thought.”

"So that's what happened..." Shangguan Cai showed a thoughtful expression.

"If the opponent is evil, it's always good to shout out?" Luo Youer clapped her hands suddenly, "Anyway, they don't understand human language!"

"Exactly." The master laughed.

After the laughter subsided, Xia Fan raised his hand again.

"Can I ask a question that has nothing to do with magic?"

"Oh? Ask."

"When I was in Fenghua County, I met an old woman." He explained in detail what happened three days ago, "The Privy Council is an imperial institution that deals with evil incidents, why is the asking price so high that an ordinary household cannot afford it?" How far? Shouldn't alchemists protect one side and protect others from evil spirits?"

This time Master Zhang didn't answer as he expected, but stared at him for a while before asking, "Who did you listen to?"
