Longevity begins with alchemy

Chapter 104 Named Disciple
After returning from Zhenyao Pavilion, Su Yi first refined several batches of elixirs and fed them to the fire-eating flying ants.

Although these small things are not as big as rice grains, they are very edible because of the large number.

After feeding the spirit insects, Su Yi simply cleaned up and prepared to go to Shenji Pavilion.

He talked a lot with Mr. Shen yesterday, and in the end Su Yi said that he wanted to learn how to forge weapons with him, and Mr. Shen did not refuse.

Learning to refine weapons was something Su Yi had considered for a long time. As for why he no longer specialized in elixir refining, but instead turned his attention to weapon refining, there was a last resort.

The main reason for this last resort is one's own limitations. Specifically, there are three limitations, namely essence, qi, and spirit.

He has not yet reached the level of elixir formation and does not have true fire in his body. The flames produced by ordinary spiritual firewood cannot smelt higher-level raw materials. This problem can only be solved after the elixir formation and true fire appears in the body.

Or, Su Yi turned his hand, and a piece of bone as white as jade appeared in his hand, which was the "Xuanyuan Bone."

This magical weapon, polished from the bones of the ancient giants, was first in the hands of Song Qianqian. Later, Lu Guangtian brought it back from the East China Sea to Su Yi, and Su Yi later handed it back to his apprentice Song Qianqian.

The last time Su Yi was taken away by the insect demon, Song Qian gave him the Xuanyuan Bone when they left, and also gave him the Tongbao Jue.

Su Yi didn't know whether his future was life or death. Thinking of fulfilling his apprentice's filial piety and relieving the pressure in Song Qian's heart, Su Yi did not refuse and took Xuanyuan Bone away.

When he sent everyone off yesterday, he had so many thoughts in his mind that he had forgotten about it, so this piece of bone still remained in his hands.

Su Yi didn't think about taking possession of this piece of bone, otherwise he wouldn't have left this piece of bone when he gave the Bailan magic weapon, and would return this piece of bone to Song Qian when he had a chance in the future.

But before that, if this piece of bone can be used to collect the Qingqiu White Bone Fire that Song Qianqian has been obsessed with and even sacrificed his life for it, this problem can be solved.

The second problem that restricts Su Yi from refining high-level elixirs is mana. Refining high-level elixirs takes longer, which requires more mana support.

There is no "trick" to this problem, the only way is to improve your cultivation. As your cultivation improves, your magic power will naturally increase.

As for the gods, it is easy to understand. The higher the level of the pill, the more types and quantities of raw materials it needs to refine. This requires more refined operations. Without the support of a strong soul, it cannot be completed. .

Since Su Yi has no room for improvement in alchemy for the time being, and he has a lot of free time every day besides practicing, naturally this time cannot be wasted, so Su Yi thought about learning to refine weapons instead.

Weapon refining is a broad category. Once you master the weapon refining, you will basically master the basic knowledge of making talismans and formations. In this way, Su Yi can master the first four arts of cultivation, including making talisman, refining weapons, refining alchemy, and forming formations. Law has been covered.

If he can really learn these four arts, and having these four arts by his side, he will definitely be able to help Su Yi go further on the path of cultivation.

Of course, it can only be considered as an assumption now, and whether you can succeed in your studies depends on how much hard work you put in in the days to come.

Putting away the "Xuanyuan Bone", Su Yi went to Shenji Pavilion.

When I arrived, I found that Mr. Shen had finished his work and was waiting there making hot tea.

Seeing Su Yi, Shen Mo said with a smile: "I guess you will be here soon, come and have tea."

After hearing this, Su Yi hurriedly saluted, then came over and sat down.

In fact, Su Yi can't tell whether "tea" is good or bad. After all, he was very poor when he was a child, and he didn't have the opportunity to experience too extravagant enjoyment.However, he could roughly tell that Mr. Shen's tea was different. Not only was it mellow and palatable, but it also seemed to have the effect of slightly increasing mana.

This effect of increasing mana is very weak, but it is already very miraculous. After all, even if you take pills, they have to be refined before they can be converted into mana. Drinking a cup of tea can directly enhance mana, which was unheard of by Su Yi before.

The two chatted while drinking tea, and Su Yi once again said that he wanted to learn weapon refining from Mr. Shen.

He is a "thick-skinned" person. Mr. Shen did not agree or refuse yesterday, so Su Yi said it again with a shy face today.

Maybe Mr. Shen was too annoyed by him and had no choice but to say in the end: "Actually, my original intention is that we should get along as friends, but since you must become a disciple, then I will accept you as a registered disciple, and you don't need to." Change your words and just call me sir from now on."

Seeing that Mr. Shen finally let go, Su Yi was naturally overjoyed. It would be hard for him not to achieve something in the art of refining if he could get an expert like Mr. Shen to guide him in refining.

He first gave a big gift to Mr. Shen, and then said happily: "Thank you, sir!"

Seeing Su Yi's happy expression, Shen Mo said with a smile: "Don't be too happy too soon. Not to mention the vastness of the weapon refining process, I am just a drop in the ocean. I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it in the future just because of the boring process of weapon refining."

It was normal for Shen Mo to be worried about this. Since Su Yi had wanted to learn to refine weapons for a long time, he naturally had some understanding of this aspect.

Compared with alchemy refining, weapon refining is indeed boring.

This boringness is not only reflected in the process, but also in the feedback of results.

Because elixirs assist monks in their practice, there will be timely feedback on the improvement of their cultivation, the improvement of their magic power, etc.

The refining process is slightly different. The refined artifact can only receive the greatest feedback when it is used. You may be more excited when you first refine the finished product, but the feeling is not realistic enough. Compared with the elixir, Directly improving one's cultivation is always a little less interesting.

Another one, to refine a finished magic weapon, there are many steps required. Like Shen Mo refining the sword pill for Su Yi before, it looks similar to alchemy, but in fact, there are more steps such as drawing symbols and engraving arrays, and finally he can "make alchemy" .”

There are many steps, so there are more things to learn in the early stage of refining. In this way, it will be slower to see the effect, and many people may not be able to persevere in this learning process.

As the saying goes, “Those who travel a hundred miles are half-ninety!”

If you can't persist in the end, it's better to learn some simpler cultivation skills as soon as possible to avoid wasting a lot of time and energy.

The reason why Shen Mo spoke up front was because he wanted to give Su Yi a warning, so that he would not regret embarking on the path of learning weapon refining in the future.

Su Yi put away his playful smile and said to Shen Mo solemnly: "Please rest assured, sir, Su Yi did not just want to learn weapon refining on a whim. I have been considering this idea in my heart for several years. I am determined to learn the art of weapon refining." Walking up and down.”

After hearing this, Mr. Shen nodded. Seeing this, Su Yi hurriedly changed the husband to hot tea.

At this moment, Mr. Shen suddenly asked him an irrelevant question.

"Have you raised any spiritual insects recently? I feel the breath of spiritual insects in you."
