****************************************
Li Zheng opposite seemed to be relieved, and the expression on his face softened a lot. I wonder if she was hearing hallucinations, and even his voice was a little softer.

"Yes, it's Huichun Powder. Are you sure you can successfully refine it?"

Mo Ranyi's mind changed. Fortunately, she had spent many days getting familiar with the environment. Otherwise, if she just opened her mouth and asked for Huoxuesan, wouldn't she be judged as a liar by the person in front of her?

Who would have thought that the rejuvenating blood of Cangqiong Continent would be called Huichun Powder on Minghuan Star, which is exactly the same as the name in the Divine Book of Medicine.

The Huichun Powder is indeed not difficult, but the success rate is something I don't dare to boast about if I don't have much effort.

But, but, but, is it necessary to question the success rate of low-level powders like Huichun Powder?
Even if you have just started learning alchemy, as long as your character is not too bad, there will basically be no problem.

"Junior, do your best." She still couldn't finish her words.

Li Zheng frowned, a little dissatisfied with such a general answer, but still didn't say anything. He waved his hand and someone took her to a quiet room.

************************************************** **********
In the middle of the room, a copper alchemy furnace stood, covered with a layer of warm firelight. Two alchemy boys stood beside it, looking very respectful.

The person who brought her in briefly explained a few words and then left.

Mo Ranyi didn't mind that there were people in the room. The refining method of Huichun Powder was not really a secret.

She had probably guessed that Ming Huanxing's level of alchemy might not be very high, so she, a young monk who claimed to be good at alchemy, was so valued.

Having Dantong as an assistant is not a treatment that ordinary cultivators can receive.

Dantong, to put it bluntly, is an apprentice. When his cultivation is insufficient, he will learn from the alchemist's experience, control the temperature, etc. When his cultivation is sufficient, he can start the alchemy furnace alone.

Mo Ranyi has never been in the Danzhu Hall, but as the chief disciple of Yifeng, even though there is no hall under Izumo Peak that specializes in refining pills, she still understands the meaning.

In Hanyu Palace, the disciples from the outer sect who are assigned to Danzhu Hall must start as Dantong first.

Dantong's subdivisions include collecting herbs, picking up herbs, lighting fires, and looking after furnaces.

The medicinal alchemist is responsible for picking spiritual plants for the alchemist. In ancient times, the monks lived in huts and relied on the mountains. The entire mountain belonged to their own family. If they needed anything, they would ask the alchemist to pick it. They also divided the season and the Yin and Qing, etc., the picking techniques of different spiritual plants also have different requirements. This is the stage of initially familiarizing themselves with the habits of spiritual plants.

Shiyao Dantong is a bit more advanced. Shi also means to collect whole things. Not all spiritual plants can be used after being picked. They need to be further processed, or some parts are selected, or their juices are extracted, etc. Shiyao Dantong is already Being able to initially grasp the pharmacology of yin and yang, the spiritual plants picked back by the medicinal alchemy boy are usually sorted by the medicinal alchemy boy.

The fire-burning alchemy boy is responsible for the daily maintenance of the alchemy furnace. The alchemy furnace is an important auxiliary tool for the alchemist. The materials of a good alchemy furnace are valuable and the refining techniques are exquisite. They are valuable. Daily maintenance is also a process of becoming familiar with the alchemy furnace. At this stage , you will also come into contact with some of the spiritual fires of heaven and earth. The leap from the medicine-picking elixir boy to the fire-burning elixir boy means that you can observe the refining of elixirs up close. Although the fire-burning elixir boy is hard work, it is the first step in formal contact with alchemy.

The last Alchemy-Keeping Alchemy Boy is actually almost ready to become a master. He can even replace the alchemist to check the changes in the materials in the furnace, adjust the temperature of the furnace fire at any time, add materials step by step, etc., and even The final condensation of the elixir and the opening of the furnace could barely qualify him as a quasi-alchemist.

But generally speaking, furnace-watching alchemy boys are very rare. Even if the alchemist has three to ten years to extract benefits from the furnace-watching pill boys and get rewards, selfish nature still prevails, and the alchemist's habit of cherishing his broken broom is very rare. It’s not just alchemists. In fact, this phenomenon is common in many kinds of practice. Many alchemists only bring alchemists to the fire, then discard them and cultivate new alchemists from scratch.

Today's alchemists all attach great importance to the secrecy of their skills, and the people who inherit them are only relatives, friends, and disciples.

Therefore, alchemists generally come from family backgrounds or sects.

For casual cultivators with no sect, the chances of learning the art of alchemy are very slim. The investment in elixir prescriptions, alchemy furnaces, and materials is quite large, which is really unaffordable for casual cultivators.

Mo Ranyi's eyes swept over the two Dan boys. Their hair was tied up and not messed up at all. The clothes on their bodies were clean and neat, without even a small wrinkle. On their feet were thick-soled cloth shoes. If everything was right, they would be It is extremely soft and makes no noise when moving around. The sleeves seem to be shorter, but in fact they are to avoid accidental contact with the material. The hands are very clean, and the nails are carefully trimmed and are even with the fingertips. They are not too long to affect work. There will be no pain if it is too short and accidentally hits a hard object.

"Whose Dan children are you?" Mo Ranyi asked softly.

In principle, Dantong was the alchemist's exclusive worker. Now he was "lent" to her for use. Although she understood that there was some surveillance in it, she had to thank him afterwards.

"Returning to the seniors, the two juniors will serve Master Li."

There is only one golden elixir ancestor here, Li Zheng, which means these two are his alchemy boys?
Didn't see it!That old man can also make elixirs?

"What is the division of labor between you two?" She asked no more questions. Li Zheng gave her his alchemy room and also borrowed an alchemy boy, which showed that he really valued her as a half-full alchemist.

The two boys looked at me and I looked at you, their faces turned red and purple, and they hesitated for a long time. Finally, they bite the bullet and replied: "To my seniors, the two juniors... have no division of labor."

Not only is there no division of labor, they don't even know what the division of labor is.

I just know that I am here to be a Dantong, just to help Master Li.

Mo Ranyi choked, looked at the two of them for a while, and said helplessly: "Then just watch from the sidelines."

Good guy, the two kids were doing something very similar to each other. They looked similar, but it turned out to be fake. She didn't bother to explain to the two kids what Dantong was, so she was busy minding her own business. .

The two boys looked at each other again, standing obediently in the corner, not daring to disturb this beautiful and gentle-spoken senior from his work. They stared with wide eyes.

************************************************** **********
Mo Ranyi first poured out the materials from the storage bag, picked them quickly with both hands, opened the furnace lid, picked up a few spiritual plants, and threw them in.

The fire in the furnace flickered.

She invoked the magic formula with her hand, and a ball of real fire roared away. The temperature of the furnace fire suddenly increased, and the spiritual plants in the furnace melted rapidly.

Continuously put the materials in, and use Yuanhuo Jue to control the temperature of the fire at any time.

The process of Mo Ranyi's alchemy refining was like a magical skill in the eyes of the two boys next to him. Their eyes were shining with stars, and they didn't even want to blink. They stared blankly at the smooth movements.

The key to powder is to make the materials decompose evenly, heat them evenly, and have even potency.

Ahem, Mo Ranyi actually likes to use a frying spoon to make Huichun Powder, and she is more familiar with it.

The fire waves rolled back and forth in the furnace, and the fine powder slowly turned bright red.

She stared at the changes in the materials in the furnace with burning eyes, and when the color was about to reach the familiar vermilion, she decisively turned off the fire.

Putting the powder into the bottle with your hand, the white porcelain bottle glowed faintly red from the inside out. It was still a little warm in your hand.

He quickly sealed the bottle mouth and did this again and again, forming a neat row of porcelain bottles.

Mo Ranyi took a long breath and stretched out his hand, and the ten small porcelain bottles and all the remaining materials were put back into the storage bag.

He looked up at the two dumbfounded children, smiled slightly, and walked out of the room.

************************************************** ***********
Walk back along the same path.

Li Zheng was still in the room just now. He probably didn't expect Mo Ranyi to come out so quickly. After being stunned for a moment, his face suddenly turned dark.

"What's the result?" He managed to keep his composure and didn't directly ask if it was all ruined...

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my destiny. I only opened the furnace once and gained something." Mo Ranyi smiled shyly and presented the storage bag with both hands.

Li Zheng was suddenly struck by this unbelievable huge surprise!

He hurriedly grabbed the storage bag, fished out small white porcelain bottles, and opened them eagerly.

The still warm medicinal fragrance wafted out the moment the bottle was opened.

The taste is right, but what about the color?

He opened the bottles one after another without knowing what was going on. The more he opened, the more confused he became, and the more he opened, the less he could understand.

Although this Huichun Powder is the lowest-grade powder, it is the elixir with the highest usage rate in Minghuanxing.

Swords have no eyes. It is common for them to get injured when they are fighting each other. Therefore, the elixir that the monks of Minghuan Star are most familiar with is not the spiritual elixir that increases the true energy, but the rejuvenation elixir that is not even an elixir. scattered.

How familiar are you?

From a distance of more than ten feet, you can smell the fragrance of the rejuvenating powder, even if it is mixed with blood.

This taste has been firmly engraved in their minds and is absolutely unmistakable.

Although the efficacy of the medicine is not very good, probably due to poor control of the heat, the contents in these porcelain bottles should undoubtedly be Huichun Powder.

But...how could it be red? !
He twisted a little and smelled it, and he was even more sure that it was Huichun Powder!
"Senior Rong, this is made from the secret method passed down by the master. During the refining process, a secret medicine was added, so it is different from the ordinary Huichun Powder." Mo Ranyi said cautiously while looking at Li Zheng's face.

Afraid that the other party would not want her and punish her, Mo Ranyi hurriedly added, "The effect of the medicine is more... no, not more, it will be less... stronger..."

After saying that, she stood there awkwardly, like a prisoner waiting for sentencing.

Li Zheng frowned and looked at her in surprise.

Seeing that the other party looked like a small family who was not worthy of being on the stage, he felt unhappy, so he withdrew his gaze and fell back on the porcelain bottle in his hand.

After thinking about it, he drew a line on his arm with his finger and sprinkled some of the red powder that was said to be slightly stronger...

After Mo Ranyi took a peek, he quickly lowered his head.I feel like I have a bit of toothache. The medicine was applied too quickly. It looks so professional.

Try the medicine on yourself?This old man is really...

Isn't he afraid that she might poison her or something?

Worried about a double output, Mo Ranyi finally stopped the fire a little early. The efficacy of the powder was not perfect, but the effect of replenishing and restoring blood was still more significant than the ordinary Huichun Powder.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the shallow line on Li Zheng's arm quickly closed and slowly faded until it could no longer be seen.

The evil look on the old man's face suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't even close his mouth with a smile.

He put away the rejuvenation powder, looked at the remaining materials in the storage bag, and said generously: "You are good. Although your level of alchemy is not as good as mine, you still have some talent. I will reward you with these."

Mo Ranyi suppressed the muscle cramps and hurriedly lowered his head, with a bit of fear and inexplicable joy, "Thank you, senior, thank you, senior..."

Damn, she endured so much pain!Just these few bits and pieces, she had stopped liking them a long time ago, okay?Mo Ranyi made a flying sword at will, and it was highly sought after. It was hard to find a sword.

The labor cost is really high.

But forget it, she endured it, who said this was not her own place.

"Besides Huichun Powder, what other elixirs can you refine?" Li Zheng asked casually.

Got the point.

Mo Ranyi hesitated for a moment, with a bit of hesitation, "Master also taught Qi-tonifying pills and Qi-nourishing pills..."

Ming Huanxing's level of alchemy is really not high, so there should be nothing wrong with only reporting these three types.

Li Zheng said nothing and was noncommittal.

She secretly thought in her mind that it was already very rare for her to master the refining of these three kinds of elixirs among casual cultivators. What was important was that someone had given her guidance and had some foundation. When she became more proficient in skills in the future, she would be given more advanced elixir recipes to practice. It's better than trying to figure it out on his own.

I also recalled the report below about this woman. Her teacher died and her background was very clean. She could be used as her own and trained as an exclusive alchemist.

Thinking of this, Li Zheng's expression became more kind, "Are you willing to make elixirs for me?"

Mo Ranyi sighed in her heart. She definitely couldn't say no. With her current status, how dare she "disobey"?

"Junior is willing to serve for senior!" She raised her head suddenly, her eyes were shining with the stars in the sky, her cheeks were flushed, and she was very excited.

Li Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly, Mo Ranyi, right? From now on, the weapon refiner will be yours to use, and the two alchemists will also be at your disposal. If you use If it doesn't go well, come on, I'll just switch with you."

"No need to change..." Mo Ranyi said sheepishly, "Junior can do it alone..." No matter how I heard it, there was an air of insincerity.

Li Zheng knew it, and had been following his master. He had someone to protect him from the wind and rain, and he had not experienced much of the world. His temperament was a bit more delicate, and he probably really liked having someone to serve him. He was timid and did not dare to admit it...

It's better to be timid, but it's better to handle a weak temper.

"That's it, you go down and rest first." Li Zheng said gently.

Mo Ranyi bowed and backed away. As soon as he went out, someone was waiting for him. Senior Sister Chang and Senior Sister Short were so enthusiastic that they poured out all the goods in their stomachs without her having to ask any questions.

She listened with a smile, the blush still on her face.

In fact, there is only one purpose when the content is turned over and over, which is to praise Senior Li Zheng for his great achievements, such as his advanced cultivation, outstanding swordsmanship, good conduct, being generous and generous, etc., the purpose, and all the beautiful descriptions are instantly added to it. On the old man named Li Zheng.

Mo Ranyi wanted to say, if it was really so good, then who were the few people who were severely punished for their substandard skills?If he was so powerful, how could he be squeezed out to train as a casual cultivator here?

But she can only think about this in her heart. In the short term, she will still have to make a living under Li Zheng, and she will just listen to what others say.

************************************************** ***********
Mo Ranyi's life is monotonous and leisurely.

In addition to completing the alchemy task assigned by Li Zheng, the remaining time can be used by himself.

Compared to other people who complained every day and were tortured into human form, her life was extremely comfortable.

But no matter how envious and jealous they are, everyone can only watch helplessly. Who knows that this person has a popular craft? In Minghuanxing, the alchemist's status is far beyond Mo Ranyi's expectation because of his rarity.

This planet is rich in mineral resources and is very unsuitable for the growth of plants. There is little vegetation and few spiritual beasts. Compared with Minghuan Star, the low-level monks of Cangqiong and Canglan are extremely happy. In the early stage, they can at least go deep into Hunting spiritual beasts in the mountains, picking spiritual plants, or simply growing them yourself, etc. What are the low-level monks of Minghuan Star doing?

Mining!

More than [-]% of cultivators have carried hoes in mining areas after entering the practice.

However, almost all mineral veins and mines are owned by owners. After excluding the ore they turned in, there is not much left, and life is miserable.

No wonder Mo Ranyi saw mostly monks in the foundation building stage, and very few in the Qi refining stage.

Comparing this, the two boys who were selected to be Li Zheng Dantong were simply lucky.

Mo Ranyi does not hesitate to give them occasional guidance and train them, and she will be more relaxed.

The spiritual plants of Minghuan Star are difficult to obtain, and most of them are obtained by exchanging ores with other planets. However, this planet itself has a lot of sword cultivators. Excluding personal use, there are not many that can be used for "foreign trade transactions", so spiritual plants have become scarce. It is precisely because of the lack of materials that there are fewer good alchemists. It must be said that this is a vicious cycle, which has allowed Minghuan Star to develop into a deformed state with a highly developed sword refining level and a disabled alchemy level.

Li Zheng "raised" her, which was a very risky decision.

But obviously, he found a treasure. Mo Ranyi's alchemy level is not ranked high in Cangqiong Continent, but it is rare in Minghuan Star. Coupled with the occasional double output, the success rate is, Damn it, old man Li Zheng's eyebrows almost shook off with laughter.

She was able to break even and still have a slight surplus.

Since Li Zheng discovered this, he has been desperately searching for all kinds of elixirs and spiritual plants. The punishment mechanisms for the sword formation monks he listed are also different from others. They no longer shout and fight, but are only sent to mine. , all the ores obtained are handed over...

Using these ores, Li Zheng went out several times secretly and exchanged some spiritual plants. The types were very mixed, but most of them were low-grade goods.

After Mo Ranyi taught Qingfeng and Mingyue to identify spiritual plants, they were freed from the heavy classification work.

Who are Qingfeng and Mingyue, you ask?
Ahem, you didn’t know it was so famous?
He is the ancestor of our generation of cultivating alchemists!

She didn't care what the two boys were called before, they just called each other so brightly that no one remembered their real names in the end...

************************************************** ***********
On this day, Mo Ranyi came to watch the sword formation drill again.

The scattered cultivators have been trained to perfection.

The way of the sword formation lies in working together, commanding and prohibiting, and reacting quickly.

This requires a lot of practice and practice.

The more people there are in a sword formation, the more powerful it is and the more difficult it is to practice.

The sword formation hosted by Li Zheng is called the Eight Palaces and Nine Locks Sword Formation.

It is a trapping lock formation that is rare among sword formations. It is not as powerful as an offensive sword formation, but it is better than the nine-turn twist. The lock shape locks the mind, and it is a formation that traps the enemy.

The Eight Palaces and Nine Locks Sword Formation evolved from the two formations of Bagua Eight Palaces and Nine Locks Chain. It is especially important for changes. During the practice, everyone in the sword formation was like butterflies walking through flowers, which was dazzling.

Mo Ranyi is in Minghuanxing, so he cannot miss swordsmanship, sword formation and sword refining techniques.

As long as he gets an opportunity, he will consider himself a secret "stealer".

************************************************** ***********
Mo Ranyi, who was drawing in the air with his fingers and remembering silently, suddenly paused.

He raised his head suddenly, narrowed his eyes, and his eyes fell on a distant place, his face gradually became serious.

A blur of white light vaguely outlines the appearance of a person.

That kind of warm light that you can never forget once you experience it...

The strong beating of the heart sped up by two minutes, then returned to its original rhythm.

Believers of light!

"Form up!" Li Zheng shouted.

Standing in the air, looking straight into the distance with a solemn expression.

The person came closer and closer, gradually revealing his true appearance.

He is tall and strong, wearing strange armor with beautiful patterns, but no one appreciates it. He has short, slightly curly hair, brownish to reddish, eyes of the same color, a high nose bridge, and a square chin...
