This system is so brutal

Chapter 161: Learning Alchemy

Xueyun Palace.

The palace of the Willows.

After Lu Chen was taken away by Shangguan Shanshan, the disciples at the stronghold immediately sent someone to report the incident.

The disciple who came to report was named Shen Ping. He didn't want to come to this place at all, but he didn't draw the lot well, so he was out of luck.

What Liu Lin disliked most was someone disobeying his orders. Liu Lin mentioned this Lu Chen many times, which was enough to show that Liu Lin wanted this Lu Chen to die.

But what is surprising is that when Liu Lin heard that Lu Chen was taken away by Shangguan Shanshan, he was not angry.

Liu Lin sat on the throne with a thoughtful expression. After a while, he said to himself:
"Strange, why did Shangguan Shanshan take Walking with her?"

"Hasn't she always been neutral and never participated in factional struggles?"

At this time, Wei Qiu in the main hall said: "Prince Lin, I heard yesterday that Lu Chen ate at Shangguan Restaurant. He couldn't afford the meal and was made a waiter by Shangguan Elder. Is this the reason?"

After hearing Wei Qiu's words, Liu Lin said: "Shangguan Shanshan looks gentle and gentle on the surface, but in fact she is more ruthless than anyone else. It is impossible for her to go to Wujie for a restaurant guy."

"Maybe she was attracted by those two old guys."

Wei Qiu continued: "Lord Lin, I think there is another possibility."

"That possibility?"

"This Shangguan Shanshan has taken a fancy to Lu Chen's talent and wants to accept her as an apprentice. She may not know that those two old fellows specially sent Lu Chen to Xueyun Palace." Wei Qiu replied.

Liu Lin thought about it and felt that it made sense.

"Well, I'll go talk to her personally and see what choices she can make then."

……

After Shangguan Shanshan came back from Wujie, she took Lu Chen to her auction house, and then helped Lu Chen auction off the spiritual artifacts taken from the White Moon Temple.

Although Baiyue Temple is a second-level fairy gate, the items in their treasury are very valuable, and these spiritual artifacts are very popular in Xueyun Temple.

After the auction, Lu Chen received a total of more than 100 million spiritual stones, which made Lu Chen a rich man again.

After Lu Chen obtained these spiritual stones, he immediately exchanged them for crystal coins, then upgraded the alchemy furnace and bought the elixir recipe.

Originally, Lu Chen's pill furnace could only refine one kind of pill at a time, but the upgraded pill furnace can refine ten kinds of pills at the same time, and the refining speed has been greatly accelerated.

In order to find a suitable position in Xueyun Palace, Lu Chen asked Shangguan Shanshan for help again, and asked her to send him to a place where he could really make alchemy, and to accept the alchemy test, and become a real alchemist of Xueyun Palace instead of adding Fireman.

When Shangguan Shanshan learned that Lu Chen could also refine pills, she was very surprised. She never thought that Lu Chen, who is also a disciple of the Immortal of the Holy Land, would know so many things.

In order to see how Lu Chen's alchemy skills are, Shangguan Shanshan personally took him to the Alchemist Association and asked someone to test him.

The Alchemist Association is the most comfortable group of people in Xueyun Palace. The Alchemist Association belongs to the neutral faction. Most of the alchemists in it are only responsible for alchemy. They don’t care about faction struggles, so they have few enemies. They are, so to speak, a large faction in their own right.

I heard that people from the same neutral faction came to visit, and the president of the Alchemy Association, that is, Zhuge Mingjie, the elder of Xueyun Palace, came out to greet him in person.

"Elder Shangguan, what brought you here?" Zhuge Mingjie said with a smile.

The Alchemist Association generally does not have high-level figures to come, and their pills are sent out regularly, and how to distribute them is not the business of the alchemists.

Elders like Shangguan Shanshan who are independent in Xueyun Palace don't even need to come to the Alchemy Association. If she wants any pills, she can just go to the alchemist to refine them.

At this time, Zhuge Mingjie saw Lu Chen next to Shangguan Shanshan, and he asked again: "Is he your disciple?"

Shangguan Shanshan replied: "No, he is my restaurant boy."

"Boy?" Zhuge Mingjie looked at Lu Chen again.

What did Shangguan Shanshan bring the restaurant staff to the Alchemist Association?
Shangguan Shanshan said again: "He said he wanted to be an alchemist, I said he wasn't the material to be an alchemist, but he didn't believe it, so I brought him to test it myself, so that he could die."

Hearing this, Zhuge Mingjie's eyes lit up.

Hearing Shangguan Shanshan's tone, she seems to value this disciple very much. Could it be that she is really planning to accept a direct disciple?

This is big news.

Every elder in Xueyun Palace has many disciples and various forces, but Shangguan Shanshan only has a few restaurants and auction houses, and she has never accepted disciples.

It can be said that Shangguan Shanshan has always been a loner.

Rare, really rare.

"Alright then, come in." Zhuge Mingjie said.

After finishing speaking, he took Shangguan Shanshan and Lu Chen into the hall of the Alchemy Association.

The hall is relatively large, the roof is more than ten meters high, and it looks relatively empty. There is a large golden boiler in the hall, and there is a statue next to the boiler.

Lu Chen asked Shangguan Shanshan: "Senior sister, whose statue is this?"

Shangguan Shanshan replied: "This is the founder of Xueyun Palace. He was an alchemist before he became an immortal."

Hearing the conversation between Shangguan Shanshan and Lu Chen, Zhuge Mingjie thought suspiciously: "Senior Sister? Why do you call me Senior Sister? Shouldn't you call me Master?"

There are not many people who can call Shangguan Shanshan Senior Sister in Xueyun Palace now, either by name or elder, basically there is no one who calls Senior Sister.

From this point of view, the relationship between these two people is not the relationship between master and apprentice?

Thinking of this, Zhuge Mingjie turned his head and glanced at Lu Chen.

The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, and his white beard was raised.

Could it be that these two people have some ulterior secret?

However, why does he feel that this man doesn't look very powerful.

Because of Shangguan Shanshan's presence, it was inconvenient for Zhuge Mingjie to spy on Lu Chen's realm directly, but he could feel it, and he could feel that there was a huge gap between him and Lu Chen's realm.

In other words, he had already sensed the gap in cultivation between Lu Chen and Shangguan Shanshan, so he was even more confused.

If Lu Chen and Shangguan Shanshan have some ulterior secrets, then this Lu Chen's level is too low, how did this Shangguan Shanshan fall in love with him?

Could this young man be Shangguan Shanshan's illegitimate son?Calling Senior Sister is just to deceive others.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Mingjie nodded. He was very satisfied with his guess, and he thought it was the correct answer.

Zhuge Mingjie glanced at Lu Chen again.

When a person recognizes a certain thing, most of what he sees afterwards is related to this thing.

Just like now, Zhuge Mingjie thinks that Lu Chen is Shangguan Shanshan's child, and when he looks at Lu Chen again, he feels that Lu Chen looks surprisingly similar to Shangguan Shanshan.

Zhuge Mingjie is an old man with active thoughts, and his gossip heart is not weaker than that of people on earth.

After coming to the alchemy furnace, Zhuge Mingjie said to Lu Chen: "Young man, it is not easy to become an alchemist, you must have this talent."

"A real alchemist needs to use spiritual power to generate fire when making alchemy. We call this kind of fire a spiritual fire. After that, the alchemist needs to extract the ingredients required for the elixir in the medicinal materials, and finally control the spiritual fire to wrap these ingredients and continuously heat them to form a pill. Medicine, this is a very long process, if people have no patience, it is difficult to persevere."

Hearing this, Lu Chen asked suspiciously: "Elder, why doesn't our alchemy room refine elixirs like this?"

"I saw those seniors directly pour the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace, and then burn them with ordinary flames. After burning for a day, they directly took out the elixir from the alchemy furnace."

Hearing this, Zhuge Mingjie was stunned. He didn't expect that this young man was originally a new disciple of the alchemy room.

Originally, he said that mainly to dissuade Lu Chen from retreating, because he thought that Shangguan Shanshan didn't want Lu Chen to become an alchemist, so he said what he said earlier.

Zhuge Mingjie continued: "That kind of refining method is not very expensive pills, which are really valuable, and the higher-grade pills are all artificially refined. Only those who have the ability to artificially refine pills Only then can you be called an alchemist."

"Now, let's test your ability to turn spiritual energy into fire." Zhuge Mingjie said.

"Okay." Lu Chen replied.

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, he was about to use his spiritual power to turn into a fire. However, just as Lu Chen was about to use his spiritual power to turn into a fire, he suddenly froze, and asked Shangguan Shanshan blankly.

"Senior sister, how do you turn spiritual power into fire?"

amount……

This……

The alchemists in the hall were dumbfounded. This young man didn't even know how to turn spiritual power into fire, so why should he be an alchemist.

Shangguan Shanshan was also stunned, she thought that Lu Chen excitedly said that he wanted to be an alchemist because he knew how to do alchemy, but she didn't expect that Lu Chen didn't even know how to do spiritual power to transform fire.

At this moment, Su Yaoyao cursed: "You stupid hammer, just ask her what she does, just ask me if I don't. Doesn't asking her mean that you are exposing your ignorance?"

Shangguan Shanshan and Su Yaoyao look too similar, Lu Chen always subconsciously regards Shangguan Shanshan as Su Yaoyao, that's why he made this mistake inadvertently.

After hearing Su Yaoyao's voice, Lu Chen reacted, scratched his head, and quickly said to Shangguan Shanshan: "Senior sister, I was joking with you."

Hearing what he said, Shangguan Shanshan came back to her senses, and then said with a smile: "I almost really thought you couldn't transform into a fire with spiritual power."

Su Yaoyao sent a voice transmission to Lu Chen again, saying, "I'm going to teach you how to use spiritual power to transform fire, get ready."

Lu Chen quickly got ready.

Su Yaoyao continued: "You feel the spiritual power in your body first, and I will think about how to teach you in the most scientific way."

After two seconds, Su Yaoyao continued: "Spiritual power contains positive and negative particles of spiritual power. You control these two kinds of spiritual power particles to enter the left and right hands respectively, and then release them quickly. When they collide at high speed, It will turn into fire, well, try it now."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned.

What is positronic spiritual power?What is negative particle spiritual power?Is it so scientific?It’s so scientific that he can’t understand it at all…

However, fortunately, he had noticed the difference between the two spiritual powers in his body before.

Although he didn't know whether the spiritual power he felt was the two kinds Su Yaoyao said, but he could try it, so Lu Chen immediately controlled the two spiritual powers to collide.

boom……

At this moment, a huge blue fireball suddenly appeared in front of him.

Shangguan Shanshan and the alchemists reacted quickly and hurried away from Lu Chen.

The blue fireball immediately burned to the roof, and Shangguan Shanshan waved her hand immediately, restraining the flame in the barrier, preventing the flame from reaching the roof.

At this time, Zhuge Mingjie said: "Ahem, there are too many cremations. Alchemy requires fine fire and slow processing. Your fire is too violent. Not only will you not be able to make the elixir, you may even burn the medicinal materials." Gone."

Zhuge Mingjie continued to scare Lu Chen, trying to make Lu Chen give up the idea of ​​becoming an alchemist, trying to sell favors to Shangguan Shanshan.

Lu Chen immediately extinguished the flame.

Shangguan Shanshan asked at this time: "Elder Zhuge, can you let him try refining the elixir directly, so that he can also feel the hardships of refining the elixir."

"Okay, then I will tell him the process of refining the simplest spirit building pill."

Having said that, Zhuge Mingjie took out some medicinal materials and recipes needed to refine the spirit building pill, and then he said to Lu Chen: "To refine pills, you must first know the recipes, and then the next step is to extract them." Those usable substances in medicinal materials."

"Here, take a look at Danfang first."

Zhuge Mingjie handed the pill directly to Lu Chen, and Lu Chen was stunned when he saw it.

There were densely packed characters on the elixir prescription, and they were very messy. He didn't recognize any of them, just like a ghost drawing a talisman.

This……

Lu Chen immediately opened the Tianyu translation system, recognized these words, and found that the prescription was written in great detail.

What ingredients are in the medicinal materials, how many ingredients are needed for the spirit-building elixir, and how to prepare these ingredients? This small elixir recipe is all on it, and it is quite impressive to see.

The prescriptions that Lu Chen bought in Tianyu Mall only contained the required medicinal materials.

Seeing Lu Chen frowning, Zhuge Mingjie showed a kind smile, and then stroked his beard with his hand.

"Okay, let's refine the elixir now, young man, watch me demonstrate it first, and then do it again."

After Zhuge Mingjie finished speaking, he controlled the medicinal materials suspended in the air to come to him. People can see with the naked eye that the medicinal materials are constantly being decomposed into powder, and then part of the ingredients in the powder needed to refine the elixir are decomposed independently. It came out and formed a ball. After the ball was continuously heated in Zhuge Mingjie's hands, it emitted a golden light.

After a while, the pill was refined.

Zhuge Mingjie said: "Elixirs are divided into ten levels, and the quality of elixir refining is divided into twelve levels."

Lu Chen asked: "Elder, what level does your elixir belong to?"

Zhuge Mingjie smiled and said: "Perfect level, level ten."

"You are learning alchemy for the first time, you don't need to consider the level, as long as you can gather together to form alchemy."

"Okay, let's try it."

After finishing speaking, Zhuge Mingjie pushed all the medicinal materials in front of Lu Chen.
