I dreamed of returning to ancient times, and I became a beast tamer

Ancient dreamland, Qianshan City.

"Xiu'er, how is Lu Yuan's teaching recently?"

"Reporting to the master, Senior Lu is currently tinkering with growth medicine, which is said to be related to the so-called catalytic medicine."

Zhuge Xiu clasped his hands together and bowed his head slightly to report to Master Jia about Lu Yuan's recent situation.

Lu Yuan has been in the Tornado Martial Arts School for a while.

The fact that Lu Yuan possesses the terrifying Nian beast has spread among the martial arts school disciples.

Even people outside the martial arts school knew about it and were curious about it. Many people brought their children to visit, seemingly wanting to raise a tornado mantis, but actually coming to see the Nian beast.

Some people also think that Lu Yuan is very dangerous and should be kicked out of the Tornado Martial Arts School.

Master Jia just listened to the above news and would not be affected by the outside voices. What he was more concerned about now was Lu Yuan's catalyst.

As for the theory of treating pets well that Lu Yuan advocated in class, Master Jia did not take it seriously.

Whether it is strict or kind, they are just different forms of training. There is no good or bad. Just use whichever one is more convenient.

Only the catalytic drug mentioned by Lu Yuan made Master Jia particularly concerned.

Being able to shorten the growth cycle of the mantis beast to a few months is simply a fantasy. At least in Qianshan City, no one can make this thing.

But in large sects or centuries-old families, there might be such ancient magical recipes that can help people grow faster.

Master Jia was a little envious, but he didn't dare to take action because of the power behind Lu Yuan.

He could only use some tricks, such as asking his apprentice to eavesdrop through the wall, or placing spies in the training ground to eavesdrop on their training content.

Anyway, Lu Yuan had no intention of hiding it. He trained outdoors and everyone could see it.

"Go and listen to his class again. If you hear anything about catalytic drugs, write it down," said Master Jia.

"Master, do you believe that there is a catalytic drug in this world that can be made quickly in a few months?" Zhuge Xiu asked doubtfully.

"I don't believe it." Master Jia shook his head.

"Then you..." He hesitated.

“But I know that the beastmaster who can raise the Nian Beast is definitely not a simple person!

"Look at Qianshan City, and then look at the beast masters outside of Qianshan City. Is there anyone who can control the Nian beast?

"Such a strange thing, do you think people can't think of it? It's because people don't have the ability to control the Nian beast, otherwise there wouldn't be any Nian disasters.

"Don't just look at what he does, but also look at what kind of pet he can raise. That's the true manifestation of his strength... Go, don't ask any more questions."

Master Jia raised the teacup in his hand and took a sip of the tea.

Zhuge Xiu suddenly realized that this was indeed the case.

A beast tamer who can raise the Nian beast is not a simple person.

He thought that the Great Zhou Dynasty was full of talented people, and perhaps a genius appeared in a sect he had never heard of.

Judging from the master's tone, he must have made a thorough search but failed to find any other Nian Beast Tamers.

Then the only remaining answer is -

A disciple of a hidden sect?

Some sects live in seclusion in deep mountains, and no one knows where their mountain gates are. They are very mysterious. Even the Emperor of the Great Zhou has to greet them politely when he sees them.

The disciples of the secluded sects rarely come into contact with outsiders and their traditions are ancient.

It is said that the pets they control are creatures from outside the wilderness. Many of them are rare and precious pets that the world has never seen. Outsiders cannot even imagine what they look like.

Thinking of this, the mysterious aura around Lu Yuan seemed to become even stronger.

"I understand, Master!"

Zhuge Xiu bowed and stepped back.

……

Lu Yuan was preparing medicine in the boiler room. In front of him were two pots of medicinal soup. Under the moxibustion of the spiritual fire, they were slowly heating up and changing color.

This was the first time that Lu Yuan prepared medicine in an ancient boiler room.

But according to the locals, it is actually alchemy.

According to the method of the ancients, a pot of complex medicinal soup is steamed into dried medicine, and then it is continuously hammered, with appropriate auxiliary medicines added along the way, and slowly beaten into the shape of a solid pill.

After the pill is made, it can be taken orally or added with water. When not in use, keep it in a cool place.

This not only allows for long-term preservation, but also facilitates transportation.

And this is just the method of refining low-star pet animal elixirs.

The recipe for higher star-level pills is made by a beastmaster who specializes in alchemy and uses his pet to make the pills in the furnace.

It is said that Danchong's skills can perform special processing on medicines.

To those who have never heard it, it sounds magical.

After hearing this, Lu Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It is no secret that Danchong's skills have become very popular in later generations and have become the representative of many life skills.

Some beastmasters who don't like fighting will contract a pill pet and specialize in the business of custom-made pills.

Thanks to the convenience of the cultivation major, Lu Yuan knows a lot of basic knowledge about alchemy.

The apprentice disciples in the boiler room are only half-baked and all their knowledge comes from a single master.

The alchemists here were hiding their knowledge and had no intention of teaching more.

Therefore, the apprentices assigned to help him lacked nearly 90% of the knowledge about alchemy.

They only know the basic operations, such as making fire, watching the temperature, weighing, and pounding medicine into pills. These are all physical work and have no technical content.

As for how to mix the medicinal materials and why to mix them in that way, I have no idea.

Lu Yuan had already prepared the soup base, and then gave instructions:

"Two ounces of Wind Purple Grass, one ounce of Wild Flying Sand, and half a ounce of Spiritual Blue Stone Crystal..."

The weight requirements of the herbs were reported one by one, and the two apprentices were sweating profusely as they took turns weighing them and placed them on the table in order.

The old alchemist in the room listened quietly, and remembered what Zhuge Xiu had told him, so he remembered it as much as he could.

I originally thought it would be a difficult thing to find out, but I didn't expect Lu Yuan to report the weight in public. Isn't he afraid that others would learn it?

In fact, Lu Yuan can call it himself without letting others know.

But he just wanted to be more efficient.

If he really wants to hide the formula, he can do so by blocking the key point and preventing others from knowing it.

For example, the following drug ratio.

He had it pounded into powder and then had two people burn part of it.

While the two were busy, Lu Yuan prepared the medicine himself, pouring the powder on the table into the pot in order and calculating the time.

Because he was blocking the mouth of the pot with his back, no one could see how much medicine Lu Yuan poured into the pot.

Lu Yuan did not pour all the herbs in each plate. Instead, he poured some, stirred it, and then poured more.

After a while, pour the rest.

At this time, the two apprentices had finished roasting the herbs, and nearly half of the herbs on the table had been moved by Lu Yuan.

When the trainee disciple, who lacked common sense, saw this scene, he had no idea what order Lu Yuan had put the ingredients into the pot.

More importantly, Lu Yuan also let Dabai appear, and used the light to suppress evil to condense a talisman, placed it in the pot, and illuminated the bottom of the pot.

A sinister aura rose from the pot and was captured by Dabai.

Seeing this, everyone naturally gave up the idea of ​​learning secretly.

This pot of medicine requires the light to suppress evil, you can’t learn it.

Even though it is worth a fortune, the skill of suppressing evil is still too rare for the beastmasters in Qianshan City. It is out of touch with reality and cannot be learned.

In fact, Lu Yuan just made a small change to the prescription and used a few evil herbs.

The evil-repelling light of Dabai can remove the impurities in the medicinal soup and make it purer.

People who lack common sense will naturally find it incomprehensible.

Even people with common sense would not be sure of the power of Dabai to suppress evil. A slight difference is enough to ruin a pot of medicine.

You should know that some fierce pets need a certain amount of Yin energy to balance the Yang energy in their bodies.

Only the beastmaster and his pet know how much active ingredient is retained. If too much is given, it will be poisonous.

When Lu Yuan saw that all the preparations were completed, he secretly moved the time particles to speed up the time to one hour later.

The medicinal soup in front of him was churning rapidly, all the herbs were changing dramatically, and the white soup vapor turned into white smoke columns.

People were constantly coming and going around him. Dabai wagged his tail and turned his head countless times to look at other people's medicine pots. All the perspectives and changes in things in an hour turned into the essence of one second and remained in his mind.

"We can stop firing now." Lu Yuan said absentmindedly.

"But the medicine soup hasn't dried yet?"

The two apprentices standing up were puzzled when they saw that there was still a lot of medicine soup in the pot, which clearly had not been cooked yet.

"Don't ask, yes means yes."

Lu Yuan waved his hand and asked Dabai to supervise the two of them to take the pot.

The two looked at each other, then glanced at the alchemist in the distance.

The alchemist was also a little confused, but he nodded and asked the two to take the pot out.
