Chapter 15: Dan Club First Round
Chapter 15: The First Round of the Dan Club
Under the arrangement of Zhenbao Pavilion, Zhang Shen successfully entered the Li clan and became one of the Sanren alchemists who signed a cooperation contract with the Li clan and temporarily worked for them.
As a top-ranked clan among the fifty surnames, there are many alchemists who have chosen to cooperate with them. In a small but extremely high-quality gathering, Zhang asked for a parameter and found that there were about 30 people.
In addition to the alchemist and senior executives of the Li clan, there were also the supporter of the Li clan - Prince Yao Xing.
It can be regarded as letting Yao Xing and the alchemists get to know each other. After all, even if Yao Xing can't become an emperor, a prince cannot escape. According to "convention", most of the alchemists attending will still choose the Li clan to choose Yao Xing.
Prince Yao Xing is the seventh descendant of the old emperor Yao Zhen. He is already thirty-seven years old this year. Zhang Shen was slightly surprised when he saw him first. Seeing that he looked loyal and honest, he was not as honest as he could become an emperor.
However, for alchemists, in addition to material abundance and physical and spiritual enjoyment, they also want to obtain some resources for their own alchemy to continue exploring their own alchemy. Therefore, they do not care too much about how much benefits the supported families can gain in the throne change.
Of course, out of professional ethics and the desire to win, no one will be absent from the alchemy feast that has been rare in the past decade, let alone show weakness.
The alchemist is not an idiot who is not humane. The Li clan and Yao Xing are all given enough face. This small banquet is a happy ending with guests and guests.
"Master Zhang, Xiao Wang is polite." Zhang Shen tried hard to keep a low profile, but Yao Xing took the initiative to come over and could only give in vain.
Zhang Shen went to the team midway, and the other alchemists were not clear about it, and most of the Li clans didn’t know it, but the senior management of the Li clan and Yao Xing felt like a mirror. Although he didn’t understand his intention, it would definitely not be easy to be related to Zhenbao Pavilion!
"You are polite, Prince." Zhang Shen smiled helplessly when he sensed the curious and dissatisfied gaze that fell on him.
After chatting with Yao Xing patiently for a few words, Zhang Shen's attention increased significantly, especially when the senior executives of the Li clan also came one after another, Zhang Shen had no choice but to find that he had become the focus of the living room, and his eyes fell on him one after another. He was dissatisfied and dissatisfied, but he was more curious and confused.
After the banquet, the alchemists returned to their residences, and Zhang Shen also walked towards his small building.
"Brother Zhang, please stay." Just as Zhang Shen was about to step into the door, someone else's cry came from his ears. When he turned around, he saw a young man with a round face walking quickly towards him.
"You are Li Wei, Brother Li?" Zhang Shen remembers that he is also one of the alchemists. He always smiles at the banquet and can chat with almost every alchemist, and he has a good reputation.
Li Wei had a moderate figure, and when he smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits: "Brother Zhang is so honored that I can remember me."
The two of them exchanged a few greetings, and Li Wei asked, "Brother Zhang, where are you from? I have been with the Li clan for a while and have never seen him before."
"Wenxian people. They entered the Li clan just because of a favor. After all, for those who are determined to pursue alchemy, what is the relationship between where and who are working with me? Brother Li, do you think so?"
"Haha, of course, of course. Seeing that Brother Zhang is a little tired, I won't bother you anymore, so I'll say goodbye first."
"By the way, during the period before the elixir meeting began, there were small exchange meetings between us alchemists almost every day in Xiyuan. I wonder if Brother Zhang is interested, but is willing to go with him?"
"Well, there is nothing wrong with the left and right, so let's go together."
He bowed to Li Wei, Zhang Shen closed the door and returned to the small building where he temporarily lived.
He glanced at the fence, as if he could see through the obstacles and look at Li Wei.
"Ha, it's true. The movements and feelings of the mastermind behind the scenes are really keen."
In the information collected by Zhenbao Pavilion, it was mentioned that some scattered alchemists and master warriors had an indescribable relationship with the mastermind behind the scenes, and Li Wei was one of them.
According to the analysis of Zhenbao Pavilion, the goal behind the scenes seems to be the change of the throne this time. Because of this, Zhang Shen planned to watch from the other side of the river first. As long as those guys have something to ask for, they will definitely be exposed by themselves.
Zhang Shen is confident that when they are exposed to the sun, they will definitely not be able to escape from their palms!
"Let you jump around for a while first."
Thinking of this, Zhang Shen withdrew his gaze, slowly went upstairs, and returned to the bedroom.
The exchange meeting that Li Wei mentioned was actually a small gathering where dozens of alchemists within the Li clan communicated with each other and exchanged some experiences. It was once every two or three days, and everyone was very enthusiastic about participating.
For those of them who have not joined Kunlun 12 days, this kind of opportunity to communicate with their peers is not rare but definitely not many. How can we not cherish it?
Inspiration only flashes through the collision of thinking.
Zhang Shen was idle and attended every party. He quickly conquered everyone with his knowledge and became the target of the alchemists' pursuit of advice.
Of course, he also gained considerable gains from his arguments and communication with others.
Time passes quietly.
The Dan Club has begun.
Before the palace, there was a wide and flat square, as big as three football fields, which was the location of the Danhui.
There are two steps between the square and the main hall of the palace. There is also a strip-shaped platform between the two steps.
Above the platform are senior officials of the fifty surnames and some other top figures of the Qing Dynasty.
Going further up, before the main hall, the old emperor Yao Zhen was wearing a dragon robe and sat upright on the dragon couch, surrounded by wives, concubines, and children, with a majestic face. There was no trace of emotion in his deep eyes.
Between the two groups of people, the strong guards were wearing armor and holding sharp edges, blocking any factors that might be unfavorable to the emperor.
Look at the square again.
In the empty square, hundreds of cases were placed. There were all kinds of messy medicinal materials piled up in the gap between the cases and cases, all of which were common herbs, but there were many kinds. I am afraid that the medicinal farmers who have been picking herbs for a lifetime will not be able to recognize them all.
Under the attention of everyone, figures, led by the guards, slowly stepped onto the square in the gradually brighter sunlight.
It is the alchemist who participated in this alchemy meeting!
At this alchemy meeting, nearly one thousand participants were present. There were high and low levels of cultivation in alchemy, especially the "Story of All Spirits", so naturally I needed to choose and compete.
The layout of the square is the first round of competition at the Danhui.
Extract the "medicine energy" and refine it into a crude elixir!
Under the guidance of a guard, Zhang Chan came to the front of a desk.
"Master, the herbs in this area belong to you." The guard pointed to a bunch of mixed herbs in front of the desk and reconfirmed the rules for the first round.
"You need to extract all the 'medicine energy' in all herbs within the specified time and condense them into a crude elixir embryo to pass this first round of screening."
"I understand." Zhang Shen nodded.
The guards did not leave, but stood aside to prevent some alchemists from taking risks and cheating.
It's embarrassing to say, but no matter which group in which world, there are always some garbage that is not capable enough but always wants to take shortcuts.
Zhang Shen turned his eyes to the pile of herbs in front of him, frowned slightly.
The herbs assigned to each alchemist are "prepared carefully", with almost a little different quantity, species, and weight, and they are mixed together very carefully, and at first glance they look like a pile of weeds.
What Zhang Shen wants to do is extract the "medicine energy" of the same medicinal material and refine it into a crude elixir.
The assessment standards for this round are, first, whether the task has been completed within the specified time; second, whether the medicinal properties in the crude embryo are pure enough, and whether there is any admixture of other medicinal materials and medicinal gas.
The gong sounded, and the first round of Danhui screening began!
About one-sixth of the alchemists rushed into the herb pile with agility and quickly classified them;
The remaining two-thirds began to use alchemy to control the air flow of heaven and earth, turn into an invisible hand, and classify the herbs in front of them;
The last part is not classified at all. It directly uses alchemy to extract the medicinal properties from medicinal materials and each makes its own elixir!
Zhang Shen undoubtedly belongs to the third category.
Zhang Shen began to refine alchemy.
The first step is perception.
It's simpler, the mental power leaves the body and spreads. The next moment, the distribution and flow of the energy of heaven and earth in the square enters Zhang Shen's mind, which is extremely clear.
The second step is to draw the air.
It is OK to extract the medicinal properties of herbs and the five elements of qi. However, the most suitable situation in this situation is the wood energy and water energy.
More than four-fifths of the third type of alchemist choose the above two types of qi. After all, the herbs themselves have yin and yang and five elements, and there are so many. Using wood qi and water qi will not only avoid harming the herbs themselves, but also not easily confused.
In order to show off, Mr. Zhang decided to choose—
The five elements are together!
These low-level herbs are all five elements. When someone Zhang thought about it, dozens or hundreds of five elements of energy were ready to wait.
The third step is cycle.
Before, Mr. Zhang was traction with the five elements of energy and was seen by many alchemists. Now he was thinking about watching his jokes and seeing how he completed the chaotic five elements of energy each.
Zhang Shen showed his high profile and his mental power was quickly guided. He saw that hundreds of five elements were connected obediently in the order of the five elements being generated, completing the cycle!
The surging of the energy of heaven and earth is instantly calmed down and the cycle is completed.
The fourth step is to integrate thoughts.
Zhang Shen differentiated his mental power into five trunks and threw it into the five elements qi that cycled into circles. He suddenly realized that he was integrated with it. As long as he had thoughts, he could perfectly control every movement of it.
Step 5: Refining.
The most important thing is coming. Zhang Shen's expression was solemn, his mind was changing with his heart. After the thought was integrated, the five elements circulation airflow surging down, covering the pile of herbs.
Chapter completed!
