Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Three: Alchemy
Who knew that now that the turn of things has changed, I have found another junior who can inherit his own abilities. I just don’t know if this spiritual spring can be like a dead tree.
The Eighteenth Master shook his head and didn't think about this for the time being. He grabbed Ji Wenyu and said, "Come with me, let's sit in the house for a while. I will briefly introduce to you the techniques of planting and refining spiritual medicines that I have summarized over the years."
The Eighteenth Master lives alone all year round, just like other old people. Every time he meets Ji Wenyu, he seems to have endless things to say, and this time it is particularly serious, because he finally found a junior who can inherit his legacy, and wanted to pass on everything he knew to the other party as soon as possible.
Alchemy is one of the essential skills for a cultivator. The same treasure of heaven and earth is a treasure that cannot be used. People who do not know the alchemy will either sell it to others at a discount or can only swallow it alive by themselves. After learning the alchemy, they can refine the treasure of heaven and earth into pills and take it to maximize the efficacy and value of the medicine. If you master these alchemy techniques yourself, even if you don’t have star beads in the future, you can still improve your cultivation through pills.
He had no skills. That day, when he heard that Master Eighteen knew alchemy in Shaolin, Ji Wenyu made up his mind to learn it. So Ji Wenyu couldn't ask for Master Eighteen's request. Seeing that it was still early, Ji Wenyu simply followed Master Eighteen to teach on-site.
Alchemy is a very profound science and cannot be learned in one or two days. Today, Master Eighteen will briefly introduce some elixir knowledge. Taking the Yuan Bu Yuan Dan he refined as an example, Ji Wenyu has a general understanding of alchemy.
One teaches with heart and the other learns with heart. Since Ji Wenyu became an immortal cultivator, his understanding and memory have greatly increased. These things about the Eighteenth Master, which are extremely profound in the eyes of others, are very simple for Ji Wenyu. Not long after, Ji Wenyu basically mastered the basic procedures for refining alchemy techniques and also gained a general understanding of the Eighteenth Master's alchemy techniques.
Master Eighteen's alchemy is much higher than Master Youzheng in Shaolin. The small Huan Dan refined by Master Zheng is about one month to practice for the Dark Power Warrior, and the effect on the Warrior Warrior is very small. Master Eighteen's Yuanfu Pillage Pill is about two or three months to practice for the Warrior Warrior. Even if it is a Warrior Warrior, it has certain uses.
However, this is just that compared with warriors, the effect on cultivators is not that great, because warriors can only rely on refining their own energy to improve their cultivation, while cultivators can also absorb spiritual energy from the outside world to refine them, so they have very little effect on cultivators.
Among the information left by General Lei, there is a pill called Mai Bu Pill, which is similar to the Yuan Bu Pill Pill refined by Master No. 18, but the Yuan Bu Pill Pill is much worse. This Yuan Bu Pill Pill is likely to be a simplified version of Mai Bu Pill.
Ji Wenyu speculated that there may be two reasons for the two to be so different. One is that the alchemy technique has been passed down for hundreds of years and many important things have been lost during the inheritance process. The second is that it may be the problem of medicinal materials. Nowadays, the environmental pollution is serious, and even the spiritual spring is almost exhausted. The effect of medicinal materials must be greatly reduced than before.
When the two of them got busy, they forgot the time. Before they knew it, it was almost noon. Zhou Huizhen waited for Ji Wenyu to come back, so she had to call and ask. Only then did Ji Wenyu remember the fact that his mother asked her to take the master home for dinner.
Master Eighteen found his successor, and in a good mood, he agreed to go home for dinner with Ji Wenyu. Before leaving, Master Eighteen took out a booklet and handed it to Ji Wenyu, saying, "This is what I wrote without any worries. It is my experience of alchemy summarizing over the years. Take it back and take it to see if you don't understand. Just ask me if you don't understand."
The size of the booklet is similar to that of an ordinary book, with a thickness of only about five millimeters. The cover of the booklet contains four traditional Chinese characters, "The First Explanation of Alchemy". When Master Eighteenth was a child, he went to a private school for a few years, and reading and writing was not a problem, but they were all traditional Chinese characters, which seemed to be difficult for Ji Wenyu.
Ji Wenyu also knew that he could not stay with the master to listen to the teachings. With this booklet, it would be much easier to save money. After returning to Shangdu City, he could study it slowly.
The Eighteenth Master had nothing valuable here, and he didn't even need to lock the door. Ji Wenyu took the booklet about alchemy and went out of the valley with the Master and went home for lunch.
Today, Zhou Huizhen worked hard all morning and made a sumptuous lunch. Even Ji Mingli got home from get off work early and waited for them to go back to have dinner. As a result, Ji Wenyu never returned and set off early in the morning. He hadn't come back yet at noon. If she hadn't called and urged her, she wouldn't know when she would have waited.
Zhou Huizhen kept nagging all morning and was about to wait for Ji Wenyu to come back to say something. However, when Master Shiba and Ji Wenyu came back together, she forgot all her words and quickly greeted Master Shiba with Ji Mingli to have dinner.
For them, Master Eighteen is their only elder. No matter how much they care about, wouldn’t they let others stab their backbone? Besides, Master Eighteen helped them a lot when life was difficult, but Master Eighteen was unwilling to move in with them. Otherwise, Ji Wenyu wouldn’t have to spend this effort to hire someone specifically today.
For Master Eighteen, if he has no descendants, this family is his only relative. Even if he does not have the instructions from his elder brother when he passed away, he will take good care of this family. It’s just that he is used to living alone and is unwilling to stay with his younger generations.
The Eighteenth Master couldn't help but think of his elder brother and nephew. He was so blessed. He passed away early. If he could live until now, wouldn't the family be happy?
Although there were only four people eating, the food on the table was still very rich. The table was filled with chicken, duck, fish and meat. Eight dishes were cooked. Ji Mingli even took out a bottle of old wine that had been treasured for many years and drank several glasses with Master Eighteen and Ji Wenyu.
The meal was so happy, perhaps because he was over the age of impulsive middle school, Ji Wenyu also enjoyed the feeling of getting together for the family. If possible, he really didn't want to return to the city and live the life of rushing every day.
After dinner, Ji Wenyu was about to chat with his father and the master, but suddenly the sound of a loudspeaker came from outside. Like other rural areas, Jijiazhuang has a loudspeaker installed at the entrance of the village, which was used by the village to send a notice. I don’t know what important things are going on at noon?
When the village issued a notice, he naturally used local dialects. In addition, the radio effect of the speaker was not good, so it was wuwula. In the past, Ji Wenyu had to guess and knew the general meaning. Now he was smart and had a clear ear and eye, and his sensitivity was greatly improved, and he could hear it clearly even in the room.
