Family cultivation: I am the reincarnation of an ancestor

Chapter 3 The Zhang family monopolizes elixirs, and the Fifth Master appears to make elixirs

"Ninth brother, why are you walking with your hands behind your waist? Who did you learn this from? It couldn't be the Sixth Master, right?"

Yan Lingyu heard the laughter in her ears, quickly adjusted her posture and said:
"No way, Seventh Sister, you are wrong. Here, the alchemy hall has arrived."

While talking and laughing, the two siblings, Yan Lingyu and Yan Lingyun, had arrived at their destination.

The Yan Family Alchemy Hall does not look high from the outside. It is surrounded by dense forests and only a corner of the front can be seen.

As the central building of the Yan family, it is not as splendid and high-end as imagined. Instead, it is built of brown and gray pine wood. It looks antique, quiet and tranquil. When you get closer, you can smell a strong aroma of medicinal herbs.

"This alchemy hall was just a small shabby courtyard at the beginning, but now it has something to look forward to." Yan Lingyu sighed silently in her heart as things changed and people changed.

Stepping into it, the main hall of the Alchemy Hall was bustling with people. Young girls, either alone or gathered around, made the originally silent Alchemy Hall extremely lively.

Yan Lingyu looked around. They were all descendants of the Yan family from the seventh generation. Except for the eldest sister and the second sister, everyone else was here. There were a total of 12 people.

Only clansmen with spiritual roots will be kept in the master's house, while the rest of the mortals will be sent to the secular world to take care of the housework.

Like Yan Lingyu, his parents were mortals, and his ancestors were from Yan Jixiu's lineage. It took six generations for a cultivator to be born.

This shows how difficult it is to become a monk.

In each previous generation of the Yan family, only seven or eight people could produce spiritual roots, but this seventh generation had a big explosion, doubling the number.

No wonder the Zhang family wants to suppress the Yan family.

"Is this the effect of rewarding 'increasing family power'?" Yan Lingyu murmured as she looked at the scene in front of her.

……

"Seventh sister, ninth brother."

"Seventh sister, ninth brother."

"Third brother."

"Eleventh brother."

With the arrival of new people, daily greetings come and go.

Because the fifth grandfather Yan Jiedao hadn't come yet, the atmosphere in the alchemy hall was still lively, and everyone was chatting with each other. After all, it was rare for brothers and sisters to gather together like today, and everyone was usually distributed in various parts of the family.

"The Zhang family has gone too far!" Suddenly, a deep voice exploded in the crowd.

Yan Lingyu looked for fame and found his fourth brother Yan Lingzhang.

The other person is very tall, strong and mature. He is obviously only nineteen, but looks like he is thirty-nine.

At this time, Yan Lingzhang was talking angrily to the five and six men beside him. Admittedly, he didn't realize that the attention of the people around him had been drawn to him.

Yan Lingzhang waved his arms with exposed veins up and down, and continued: "The Zhang family actually joined forces with the Bai family and the Tiger Faction to block the supply of elixirs to our Yan family. If we want to take elixirs in the future, in addition to producing them ourselves, we can only Being able to buy, sell and transport to the next state or county, the cost here has increased by more than [-]%!"

"Fourth brother, this is happening! No wonder the family hastily held this small alchemy meeting, just to screen out the alchemy talents in the family and then train them to prevent the monopoly of elixirs in the future!" Old Wuyan Lingfei's eyes widened. , said out loud.

"Without the aid of elixirs, it will be more difficult to improve one's cultivation. Without the support of high-level monks, the family will slowly decline. It seems that the Zhang family is determined to destroy me!" Another young man shouted.

"Has the other party forced me to this point? No, I must become an alchemist to share the family's worries!"

"Yes, after becoming an alchemist, we will carry out anti-monopoly and suppress the other party!"

"Ten sister is right!"

As the fourth son, Yan Lingzhang, revealed all the scandals of the Zhang family, the descendants of the seven generations of the Yan family suddenly became emotional, filled with righteous indignation, and shared the same hatred. They all vowed to become alchemists.

In the alchemy hall, there were constant shouts, which made Yan Lingyu's eardrums hurt deeply.

But there was a happy smile on his face.

"Yes, yes, I, a descendant of the Yan family, must have such spirit!"

The spirit of a family is the key to whether the family can be passed down.

Therefore, Yan Lingyu, who was the ancestor of the Yan family in his previous life, was naturally satisfied when he saw the scene in front of him. The strength of his Yan family was still there!
"Ahem, cough, cough, what's the fuss? I can hear your loud voice, Lingzhang, from all the way away."

"Take a seat and wait." Just as the momentum was getting louder, a black-haired old man came into the alchemy hall and forcibly suppressed the atmosphere.

"Fifth Grandpa." Everyone shouted in unison

Afterwards, Dantang finally fell into silence.

The person coming is none other than Master Wu, a disciple of the fifth generation of the Yan family, said Yan Jie.

"Well, cough cough cough."

The Fifth Master was wearing a dark gray Taoist robe, with his body hunched slightly and his hands on his back, he walked slowly towards the center of the alchemy hall. As he walked, he closed one eye and glanced at the young people with the other eye.

"This old boy is quite impressive." Yan Lingyu curled his lips silently when he saw this scene.

As the Fifth Master took his seat, the Dan Xi meeting began immediately.

"..., alchemy is actually divided into four major steps, gathering materials, burning medicine, gathering shapes, and tempering. Because today we mainly examine your alchemy talents, we will focus on 'Gathering Shapes' this time."

"'Gathering', to put it simply, is to condense spiritual materials of different shapes into pellets so that the elixir can be heated evenly during refining."

"How to 'gather the shape'? There is no mold for you to apply. When refining alchemy, you can only use the monk's own magic power and the furnace fire to slowly combine the pill shape. This is a great test for the alchemist's skills, because even if there is any trace of Any unevenness will affect the subsequent 'tempering' part, so there must be no carelessness!"

"So, whether a person has the talent for alchemy depends on how good he is at 'Gathering Forms'."

The fifth master talked eloquently, and the descendants of the seventh generation listened attentively.

As for Yan Lingyu, he fell into memories.

In his last life, when he was still young, he also found someone to learn how to make alchemy, but just the "gathering of shapes" step troubled him for three months.

There are some things that the Fifth Master did not explain clearly. In fact, the "tempering" step is hundreds or thousands of times more difficult than the "gathering of shapes". It can be said that "gathering of shapes" is only the basic foundation of alchemy.

People who can be stumped by "Gathering Forms" basically say goodbye to alchemy.

"Okay, having said that, I will now demonstrate to you how to 'gather shapes'."

The old man raised his beard, took out a small emerald green cauldron, and a handful of crystal clear spiritual material slag (the semi-finished elixir after "burning medicine"), and was about to start "gathering".

I saw that the Fifth Master released his true energy, completely wrapped the slag of the spiritual material, and transported it to the small green cauldron. Then he fired a spell, and flames rose out of thin air under the cauldron.

It can be found that the slag of the spiritual material is slowly melted by the high temperature in the small cauldron, and is constantly spinning out of thin air with the drag of the true energy.

Soon the spiritual material slag was completely integrated into a whole.

The Fifth Master shot out another Spirit Art, reducing the intensity of the fire and beginning to take shape.

The elixir that was beginning to take shape was still spinning.

As Master Wu continued to refine it, an alluring fragrance filled the air, and the semi-finished pill-shaped elixir was completed!

"This little guy has something. He completed the 'Gathering' in less than half a cup of tea. Not bad, not bad." Yan Lingyu from behind nodded her forehead lightly to the Fifth Master, and decided to complete the previous life with a stick of incense. " The deeds of "Ju Xing" were deeply buried in my heart.

At the same time, he also became curious about the alchemy talent given by the system.

It remains to be seen what kind of results the so-called "excellent alchemy potential" will have.

"It looks pretty simple." Yan Lingyun beside her suddenly said.

Her words seemed to express the thoughts of all seven generations of disciples present.

"What's so difficult about this? Why don't you just add fuel to the fire and increase your vitality?"

"It seems I'm going to become an alchemist."

"The fifth master spends half a cup of tea, and no matter how bad I am, I can only use half a stick of incense."

For a time, everyone was full of confidence.

The Fifth Master, who had just completed the steps, did not say much. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, narrowed his small eyes, and shot a dozen small cauldrons to everyone's chest. Inside the small cauldron was a burning spiritual material. Scum.

He said quietly: "I've finished the demonstration, it's your turn next."
