Fellow Taoist: Do you have any spiritual stones on you?

Walking into the medicine refining hall, you immediately feel the aroma of medicine.

Disciples in twos and threes gathered together to discuss terms that Gu Feng didn't understand. Some people's faces were scorched black, as if they had just failed in elixir refining.

When they saw Yan Xixi coming in with a stranger, they only looked slightly surprised and did not come forward to ask. They seemed to be accustomed to this kind of thing.

"Are there any strangers coming in here?"

"Well, there are often disciples who find elixirs outside and want us to refine the elixirs in the elixirs." Yan Xixi whispered.

"These are the places where the elders usually give lectures." After going around several classroom-like places, the temperature suddenly rose.

Yan Xixi seemed to have been used to it for a long time, and Gu Feng didn't ask any more questions. He followed her and opened a stone door, and a downward step appeared in front of him.

"Down here is where we make alchemy. There is a cluster of high-level spiritual flames there. That cluster of flames is still..." Yan Xixi, who was walking in front, explained.

About a few dozen meters down, a large circular venue appeared. There were stone gates on the walls around the venue. There was a faint buzzing sound coming from some of the stone gates.

"These noisy stone doors mean that someone is refining elixirs inside. Don't knock on the door. Otherwise, if they fail to refining the elixir, they will blame you and you will inevitably have to pay for some spiritual stones."

After saying this, seeing Gu Feng's wary look, Yan Xixi burst into laughter:

"I'm lying to you. Even if you knock on the stone door, you still won't hear any sound inside. It's all protected by formations."

Yan Xixi found an alchemy room that was not in use, opened the door and entered, closing the formation.

The alchemy room is not big, about the same size as the room in Gu Feng's courtyard. In the center of the alchemy room, there is a three-legged alchemy furnace, which looks somewhat similar to Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace.

There is a formation below the alchemy furnace that connects to the spiritual fire. There are faint flames shooting out from the walls of the alchemy furnace, but the temperature is quite comfortable.

Gu Feng sighed, this is the mystery of the formation. It not only communicates with the spiritual fire, but also isolates the temperature. Otherwise, the alchemist's elixir would not be finished and would become dried meat first.

"I'm not very good at teaching, why don't you tell me what kind of elixir you would like to learn to refine?" Yan Xixi said sheepishly as she sat cross-legged in front of the elixir furnace.

"I want to refine the kind of elixir that is relatively scarce, profitable and not too difficult." Gu Feng said without thinking.

"Do you think there will be such a pill?" Yan Xixi asked with a strange expression.

"Probably not," Gu Feng touched his nose, "How about you explain to me the elixir you know!"

Ah!

Gu Feng listened and took notes. From time to time, he asked about the prices of various elixirs and the time required for refining them. He took out his small abacus and started calculating.

Yan Xixi looked interesting and knew that he was calculating which pill to refine to maximize the benefits, so she did not interrupt him.

One of them explained, the other calculated, and before they knew it, two hours passed.

"How's it going? Have you figured out what kind of elixir you want to refine?" Yan Xixi asked with a smile on her face, holding her chin in her hands.

For some reason, she likes to look after Gu Feng, who is obviously very rich, but still pursues money regardless of his own life.

"Let's take the Bone Cleansing Pill, which has the highest overall profit and is suitable for any Body Refining Realm monk." Gu Feng said solemnly.

"Well, the bone-cleansing pill is indeed in short supply, but it's very difficult and you may not be able to learn it successfully!" Yan Xixi frowned slightly.

Every disciple in the outer medicine refining hall hopes to refine the Bone Cleansing Pill, but unfortunately, only a few dozen people can actually successfully refine it.

And the output is not high. Even at twelve hours a day, I can only refine two furnaces without sleep, and each furnace can only produce four or five at most.

Many serious disciples of the Medicine Refining Hall are unable to successfully refine elixirs. Can Gu Feng do it?

However, in order not to dampen Gu Feng's enthusiasm, Yan Xixi did not say anything, but just smiled and said, "Okay, I'll teach you!"

"I'm extremely talented, just guide me in refining it!" One furnace takes nearly five hours, and Gu Feng doesn't have the patience to wait for so long, so he has to go into battle himself from the beginning.

"That's fine, you may not be able to understand it anyway, so why not just go into battle!"

Yan Xixi opened the storage bag and took out dozens of elixirs and a small scale.

"One liang of incense grass, three liang of green lotus fruit, three liang of black ice flower..."

Soon, she arranged dozens of elixirs neatly on a piece of white cloth and brought them to Gu Feng.

"I have prepared all the elixirs needed. We will start refining them later. I will be responsible for the guidance, and you will be responsible for throwing the elixirs and controlling the heat according to my requirements!"

"I understand, this is very simple!" Gu Feng was full of confidence. This is a mechanized process. After practicing it two or three times, you will naturally become familiar with it. I really don't know why these disciples of the Alchemy Hall find it difficult to refine it.

Shila-

A large ball of flames burst out, burning the alchemy furnace in front of him red, and the temperature in the alchemy room suddenly soared.

"Turn down the flames!"

"Is that enough?"

"A little bigger!"

"now what?"

"A little smaller!"

"Oh, okay, is it almost done?"

"Maintain it for a while to allow the furnace wall to be fully heated!"

"..."

“Add incense!”

"I understand, I'll throw it away, hiss~~it's so hot!"

"Start over. You threw half the candelabrum outside."

Looking at the incense sticks stuck to the outer wall of the alchemy furnace, Gu Feng's cheeks felt hot. The slap came too fast, and he messed up in the first step.

"Hey, you should refine it first!" Gu Feng scratched his head and said sheepishly.

"It's okay, it's okay. My first time was no better than you." Yan Xixi comforted her with a smile.

buzz-

Yan Xixi's graceful movements, even the simple action of throwing elixir, can make people feel relaxed and happy.

Unknowingly, time passed quickly, and Yan Xixi shouted: Get up!

The spiritual fire suddenly went out, and the small cover on the top of the alchemy furnace suddenly rushed out. Along with the small cover, there were several pills.

Yan Xixi, with sharp eyes and quick hands, jumped up high and grabbed the elixir into her hands.

"How many pills were made?" Gu Feng hurriedly approached and asked with his eyes shining.

"Five!" Yan Xixi smiled sweetly and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She finally didn't embarrass herself in front of Gu Feng. The five pills had equaled her record of refining bone-cleansing pills in a single furnace.

"Amazing!" Gu Feng praised without hesitation, his eyes filled with envy.

Yan Xixi's success gave him endless confidence.

In the next few days, he mastered every step and began to refine it alone.

However, the result made him disappointed. Although he was careful and careful, he still couldn't avoid the furnace explosion.

"This alchemy is too difficult!" Gu Feng's face turned black, he lay on the ground and howled. He had never felt that there was anything more difficult than alchemy.

"Xixi, what exactly is alchemy talent?" Gu Feng couldn't help but ask after resting for a moment.

"I don't know, even the elders of the Alchemy Hall can't explain clearly the talent for alchemy.

According to my understanding, if you can refine a successful elixir, this is called talent! I explain it this way, do you understand? Yan Xixi asked tentatively.

"I think I understand, but I can't accept this cruel reality!"

Of course Gu Feng understood that just like those monsters he encountered in the nine-year compulsory education, they were clearly in the same classroom, learning the same knowledge and spending the same time, but some people got perfect scores every time, but he could only barely pass. .

To put it bluntly, whether you have talent or not, it is result-oriented.

If your cultivation progresses quickly and you master martial arts quickly, you will have talent, but not vice versa.

"Then do you want to learn how to make alchemy?" Yan Xixi squatted next to Gu Feng and asked in a low voice.

"Learn! For the sake of spiritual stones, you have to learn even if you don't have talent. I believe that hard work will pay off in the end. Find me some books related to refining medicine. I want to learn, research, and refine at the same time.

It's just a bone-cleansing pill, but if it doesn't work, you have to give it to me! "

Gu Feng, who was speaking eloquently, did not hear, but there was a faint contemptuous laughter deep in the ground.

Ah--
