Beast Tamer: Super Lucky Starting Contract

Chapter 302: Entering the Dao of Alchemy

The materials were enough to refine eight batches of pollen pills. For the next six batches, Xiu Xiu was able to successfully condense the pills through the furnace.

With the last two furnaces, the elixirs reached a higher level and were already of the quality of alchemy apprentices in the gym.

"Master, what are we going to train tomorrow?" Mo Xu asked.

"......" Huan Cong didn't know what to say. The task that was expected to take several days was completed in just one afternoon.

The corner of his mouth twitched: "If you are just helping to refine the Jingshu Pill, this level is almost enough. Just polish it one or two more times and it will be enough."

Mo Xu stared at the remaining smoke curling up from the alchemy furnace, and suddenly some thoughts came to his mind: "Master, can you teach me how to make an elixir?"

He is the most experienced alchemist in the West. If you want to learn alchemy, it would be most appropriate to let Huan Cong guide you.

"You want to learn?" Huan Cong stroked his white beard, looked at Xiu Xiu deeply, and actually wanted to accept him as his disciple: "Then let's try it tomorrow."

Mo Xu returned Huan Cong's greeting: "Thank you, Taoist Priest!"

Huan Cong waved his hand and said with a smile, "You don't have to be polite, young friend."

The next day after arriving at Jiang's house, Yu Xinhai called and informed that the ambergris was on the way and was expected to arrive tomorrow night or the next morning.

Mo Xu and the monsters' schedule was also full, so in the morning they let the two cubs learn and hone their skills.

After learning epic skills, there is a lot of room for improvement.

Xiu Xiu needs to expand the scope of "Thousand Miles of Wilderness" and integrate this skill into "The Myriad Things in the Forest".

Ah Bing has to complete Professor Li Xiang's homework and learn the remaining two skills, "Ming" and "Fantasy Summoning".

Fortunately, there is a gym operating near the Jiang family, which basically serves the Jiang family.

After a morning, both cubs had made some progress, and their spiritual power values ​​had increased as if their epic skills had improved.

"I'll take Xiuxiu to learn alchemy, and you just stay here to practice your skills. Do you hear me?" Mo Xu instructed Abing.

Ah Bing floated in front of him and nodded obediently, but he was very happy in his heart.

"Open the warehouse." Mo Xu knew what Ah Bing was thinking and took out the scroll of "Si Ming" from it: "If you don't make any progress in studying this tonight, I will send you to Professor Li Xiang."

Ah Bing's body froze, his hands drooped, and his face was full of reluctance.

The scroll opened, and the familiar owl from the time-related skills was still on the screen.

First, a purple-black beam of light came, and the owl raised its eyes lazily, flapped its wings and flew forward towards the beam.

Time passed silently, and when the owl flew by, it suddenly turned into three and flew in three directions.

The purple-black beam hit one of them, while the other two were unharmed. The one that was hit was injured and annihilated on the spot.

Afterwards, one owl continued to fly forward, while the other one passed the beam and cast a new time spell.

The picture stops here. This is the effect of "Si Ming". These owls are not real bodies or clones, but manifestations of different timelines, doing different things at the same time.

Even if you are seriously injured by the light beam, you can still shrink the time beam. To a certain extent, as long as you grasp the timing well, it is equivalent to having an extra life.

When it comes to attacking, you can also launch two attacks at the same time. At that moment, the enemy will have to face two of you at the same level.

This skill can be said to be both offensive and defensive, or in other words, the mystery of the time system is not limited to this. If used at certain special time points, it will be even more useful.

This is also the reason why Mo Xu chose this instead of the more "instantaneous" one.

"I'm leaving first. You continue practicing in the training room. I'll pick you up in the afternoon." Mo Xu waved his hand.

"Alas, everyone is bullying me. When can I just lie down?" Ah Bing swallowed the remaining time energy in the scroll resentfully, sighed resignedly, and then began to review his skills.

After lunch, Mo Xu took Xiu Xiu to the alchemy room to receive formal teaching from Huan Cong.

As a demonstration task for teaching, it is still Pollen Dan.

"Since you want to try alchemy, then start practicing as an apprentice. This is the recipe for pollen pill. Take a look at it first. If you don't understand anything, just ask me." Huan Cong took out a piece of paper.

The handwriting on this piece of paper was much neater, and Mo Xu could barely understand it.

"Shake one and a half bottles of pollen and pour them evenly into the fire core, add a flint, one ounce of spring water, one ounce of aconite, one ounce of gold and silver grass..."

Mo Xu opened the furnace and put the pills in one by one according to the requirements on the recipe. His movements were much clumsier than Huan Cong's.

After all the herbs are gathered, the next step is to light the fire, which is temporarily done by the Oiran Yanling.

During the alchemy process, the fire-dominated monsters need to adjust the flame at any time to control the efficacy of the medicine, while the other types of monsters can only control the fire by themselves or the beastmaster.

Non-fire monsters also have advantages, that is, when the materials match their own properties, the process of making magic pills is easier to control.

A monster like Yanling Huakui that has both fire and wood attributes is the most suitable monster for alchemy.

Huan Cong said nothing, neither giving instructions nor correcting them, allowing Moxu and Xiuxiu to follow the recipe.

"Mo Xu! It has all been refined into juice. Change the fire to 70% and burn it towards the center."

"Shush, shush, it says here that we need to guide the wood energy so that it doesn't all pile up together."

"It's the third step. How do you say fire? Oh, smaller, smaller."

"Hurry... is the pill about to condense? Whoosh!"

Only after trying it myself did I realize that there are so many tricks involved. There are so many steps to making a pollen pill alone, and this is even with the help of the Flame Spirit Courtesan to control the fire.

The two of them were busy and finally made it to the last moment. As the elixir energy gathered, the furnace lid opened and round pills flew out.

"Success!" Mo Xu and Xiu Xiu both cheered.

They were all very happy, but the next moment they discovered that this pill was completely different from yesterday's. It was black and gave off a suspicious smell.

"How could this happen?" Mo Xu felt a little embarrassed and looked at Huan Cong.

Huan Cong took the black pill and examined it. "Don't be discouraged, my friend. This pill has 10% to 20% of its efficacy. This is your first time refining pills with the monster beast, which is commendable. Ninety percent of apprentices don't have this kind of performance on their first try."

"But Xiuxiu and I followed the recipe every step of the way. Was there any mistake?"

"Not really." Huan Cong stroked his beard and smiled, "I can't say you made a mistake in any step, but you did every step very carelessly. If you missed even a tiny bit in any step, you would lose a lot of medicinal effects when the pill is formed."

Mo Xu suddenly realized that alchemy is rigorous and complicated. This knowledge cannot be learned from books. It is a test of the alchemist's skills.

Huan Cong admired his talent, paused for a moment, and said with a little regret: "My friend has an extraordinary talent in alchemy, but he is also the best in China in spiritual practice. It is difficult for people to have both."

Mo Xu knew that Huan Cong was telling the truth. If he wanted to gain something from this, he would have to invest a lot of effort.

As the saying goes, it is better to buy than to make, the cost-effectiveness is not high.

He was just acting on impulse, so he asked Xiu Xiu for her opinion: "What do you think of refining the elixir?"

Xiuxiu's answer was beyond Mo Xu's expectations.

"I think it's very interesting. The materials are separated and combined to form a pill. It's like a fun game."

"Is that so?" Mo Xu thought for a moment and said to Huan Cong, "Master, I really can't focus on the Dao of Alchemy, but I am somewhat interested in this Dao. I wonder if there is a way for me to learn some of the basics by myself in the future?"

Huan Cong knew that Mo Xu would never tell him that he would go back to the temple with him to make pills from then on, so he said, "How about this, I will send you a book on alchemy after I return to the temple. If you are interested, you can learn from it. You can still be self-sufficient in making pills for injuries and daily practice."

"Thank you, Taoist Priest!"
