Beast Blood Rush

Chapter 44 Erysipelas
Sure enough, the old man glanced at Zhang Ling, and said impatiently: "One star for the fire attribute, one star for the wood attribute, failing! Go back!"

Zhang Ling hurriedly said: "Well, that's not the case... Can you listen to my explanation?"

He really wanted to say, that's not the case, my beast soul attribute is definitely more than one star.However, in the end it still didn't come out.No way, this matter is too involved, he can't say it for the time being.

As a person of two lifetimes, Zhang Ling is very clear about what can and cannot be said.

There are two things he must never say.

The first one is that I have traveled from the earth.

The second one is that he has ten beast souls.

Well, in fact, there is a third one, that is, all the attribute indexes of his beast soul are full of ten stars.

The old man said impatiently: "Go, go, don't hinder the people behind!"

Sure enough, the crowd behind Zhang Ling booed immediately.

Someone said unabashedly in front of Zhang Ling: "One-star beast souls, come to join in the fun!"

In fact, many of them have less than five-star fire attribute index.People whose wood attribute index can reach four stars are even rarer.However, like Zhang Ling, they all chose to line up without hesitation.Obviously, like Zhang Ling, they were all trying to try their luck.

Perhaps, there is no one who meets the requirements, and if you choose the best from the poor, you may be chosen by yourself!You can't be a handyman, not even an apprentice, can you?Otherwise, where to find so many geniuses!

Besides, a genius needs someone to help him!Is the genius willing to do those dirty jobs?
Many cultivators who were sent out were begging bitterly.Some are still talking about their 180-year-old mother and their eight-month-old child, in order to win the sympathy of the two old people.It's a pity that these two old men don't give any affection at all.No matter what you tell, no matter how much you cry, no matter how brilliant your tongue is, he just remains unmoved.In the end, you will wear your lips and have to leave in despair.

From the beginning of the recruitment to the present, a qualified practitioner has not yet appeared.It's not that the cultivators in Wulin Town are not strong enough, it's that Qiu Risi's requirements are too high.In addition to the five-star fire attribute index, four-star wood attribute index is also required. Such an attribute combination may not even have one among a million beast souls!Wulin Town is only so big, how could anyone meet the conditions?
Seeing that all the pleadings were in vain, Zhang Ling didn't bother to say anything, so he withdrew sullenly.

Frankly speaking, he was not in a good mood.His purpose of learning alchemy is definitely not to get rich, but to save his mother.

No matter how clever other alchemists are, it is better to master the alchemy technique by oneself after all.Only by mastering the technique of alchemy personally can we prepare the most suitable elixir according to the needs of my mother's condition.

More importantly, in the process of learning alchemy, alchemists will master many medical skills at the same time, and have the ability to cure diseases and save lives.Alchemy and medicine are complementary to each other.This is very important to Zhang Ling.Now he really needs to master medical skills himself.Perhaps, one day, he suddenly found a prescription to cure his mother?
The Xia family itself also has an alchemy hall.The Great Elder of the Alchemy Hall is Xia Yue'e.Zhang Ling's impression of her is still very good.She belongs to the type that is more loved by younger disciples.However, in all fairness, the Xia family's alchemy hall really doesn't have any outstanding characters.Xia Yuee herself was only a high-level alchemist, not as good as these two old men in front of her, let alone the other alchemists like Qiu Rusi.

Among the four major families in the empire, only the Qiu family is professional in alchemy.This is what they do best.In this field, almost no one can compete with them head-on.Opening a branch in a small place like Wulin Town is more often not to make money, but to show the strength of the Qiu family.The Qiu family wanted to let practitioners in the entire empire know that if they wanted to buy pills, Qiu Japanese silk was definitely the first choice.

From a professional point of view, becoming an apprentice of Qiu Risi is the most promising.Given that all his attributes are ten-star beast souls, he will definitely become a high-level alchemist soon.If you work hard enough, becoming a master-level alchemist should not be a problem.

However, now, Zhang Ling had no choice.Since he couldn't become Qiu Risi's apprentice, he had no choice but to try his luck in the alchemy hall.Leaving aside other things, it is estimated that the basic knowledge of alchemy can still be provided by the alchemy hall of the Xia family.When you have a chance in the future, go to those professional alchemy institutions to learn alchemy.Purely from the perspective of learning, the Qiu family is not the only choice.

When he was about to leave quickly, the old man next to him who had been closing his eyes to rest suddenly opened his eyes and said softly, "Boy, does your beast soul still have a one-star vitality?"

Zhang Ling turned around, nodded, and said, "Yes."

The old man's face was very red, as if he had some strange disease.

Every time he spoke, he seemed to have to hold back for a long time, as if he had to accumulate a lot of strength, otherwise, he would not be able to speak.

Zhang Ling estimated that this red-faced old man probably absorbed too much erysipelas during alchemy, which caused him to be poisoned.For some unknown reason, his erysipelas had not been completely resolved, and it turned out to be what it is now.

Alchemists are of course infinitely beautiful and admired by thousands of people.An extremely brilliant alchemist can even decide the fate of a country and a great power.All brilliant alchemists will be shrouded in countless halos.However, who knows the bitterness and price behind the alchemist?

The so-called medicine is three-point poison.Almost all medicinal materials have side effects.Even if the side effects are not obvious, it will be terrifying if it accumulates over time.The higher the quality of the pill, the more medicinal materials it needs to use, and the stronger its medicinal properties.Among them, many medicinal materials are toxic.To remove these poisons, the alchemist must be very careful.Otherwise, you will poison yourself.

However, there will always be exceptions.When dealing with medicinal materials, it is impossible to never have accidents.Especially in the process of learning and exploring, the handling of unknown medicinal materials is always risky.Once poisoned, it is difficult to rescue.After a long period of time, the poison accumulated in the alchemist's body will become more and more complex, and it will become more and more difficult to clean up.

Unless, from now on, no more contact with medicinal materials, no more alchemy, it is possible to completely eliminate it.

However, for an alchemist, stopping alchemy means giving up his pursuit and his career as an alchemist.This is intolerable to anyone.If an alchemist does not practice alchemy, can he still be called an alchemist?Do alchemists who don't make alchemy still need influence?Therefore, the vast majority of alchemists, even if they are deeply poisoned, will continue to practice alchemy.

Naturally, the toxicity in the body is getting stronger and stronger, and will eventually destroy the alchemist's body.Like the red-faced old man, the erysipelas was exposed, but it was only a slight erysipelas reaction.If it was a severe erysipelas reaction, he was already dying and dying.

The toxicity contained in the medicinal material itself is actually relatively easy to deal with.For individual toxicity, there is generally a way to detoxify it.The most terrible thing is the unknown compound toxicity.What alchemists are most exposed to is the toxicity of these uncertain compounds.

In the process of alchemy, because different medicinal materials are mixed together, a lot of toxicity will also be produced.It's like different chemicals, which are not poisonous in themselves, but when they are mixed together, they will produce a chemical reaction and become highly toxic.This kind of poison is the most powerful erysipelas.

Its toxicity is generally difficult to estimate.Different elixirs have different erysipelas.If the level of cultivation of the alchemist is not high enough to dissolve these erysipelas, the accumulation of erysipelas will eventually seriously damage the alchemist's body.

The red-faced old man looked at Zhang Ling for a while, and then said slowly, "It's a pity."

Zhang Ling said unwillingly, "Why is it a pity?"

I haven't started learning alchemy yet, why does this old man say that he is a pity?
The red-faced old man said: "The vitality attribute is very rare. If the animal soul of the alchemist has the vitality attribute, it can add a ray of vitality to the pill, which greatly improves the efficacy of the medicine. The elixir of this medicine is like a cloud and mud. If you want to become a master-level alchemist, the beast soul must have the life attribute. Unfortunately, your wood and fire attributes are too low. Even if you have the life attribute, you still have What a waste!"

Zhang Ling couldn't help but said: "Master, don't I have a chance?"

The red-faced old man was silent for a moment, as if recalling something from the past, he said slowly, "Forget it, I'll give you a chance."

He took out a simple wooden box from the back, brought it to Zhang Ling, and said slowly: "There is a prescription in it, which is about Bingling Pill. There is also a detailed step of refining medicine. There are five spare copies. You can comprehend it by yourself. Three days later, you will hand over the sample of the elixir here. If I think it’s okay, maybe I can make an exception and give you a place as a handyman.”

Zhang Ling hurriedly took the box over and said sincerely, "Thank you, senior."

As long as he has the opportunity to use his beast soul advantage, he can definitely get the qualification to enter Qiu Yusi.

Leaving aside the other attributes, the ten-star birth attribute alone would surely attract the attention of a brilliant alchemist.Zhang Ling has enough reasons to believe that the brilliance of Qiu Yu's silk should be regarded as a very high value for this natural attribute.
