C141 Alchemy knowledge
This was especially true for the disciple who had just been rejected. He felt that the silver-haired old man had said the same thing. Not only her, the others also felt the same. However, it was actually not the case.
At that moment, if they wanted to see how Chu Chen understood the situation, they had to ask him.
It was the first time a freshman met an elder, so everyone wanted to show off their skills so that they could attract the attention of an elder. If they were able to win the favor of an elder, they would surely be like fish in water when concocting pills in the future.
Under the crowd's gaze, Chu Chen stood up, his expression extremely calm, and said slowly: "Among the three examples that the elders mentioned, there are two that emphasize the pill and the soul force, in addition, there is another important point, and that is to kill people. Whether it is using the pill or using soul force, all of them are to kill the enemy.
"Cultivation methods are all very strange, but in the end, it all depends on the path of martial arts. It's the same for pill refining, but there are tens of thousands of variations in one method. pill not only heal injuries, they can also make breakthroughs, and they can even help one to kill others."
"Three refining and two techniques, as for the other few auxiliary methods, they all say that refining pills is useless. Those who succeed are as rare as phoenix feathers or unicorn horns, and the elder wants to express that once they succeed, they will be used the same way as martial arts to help themselves."
After Chu Chen finished speaking, the entire lecture hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at him in astonishment, as if they did not expect that from just three examples, they could think of so many things.
"What's your name?" The silver-haired old man came to his senses, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes. Back then, You Fang hadn't been able to tell what his disciple had said.
"Chu Chen." Chu Chen said calmly.
"You are Chu Chen?" There was a trace of surprise in the silver-haired old man's voice. As an elder, he naturally had enough attention to pay to the matters of the academy.
First on the Heaven Stairway, suppressing the older students, seizing the Training Tower, and training on the third floor. More so yesterday, he broke the Divine Acupoint Clearing Technique and the Scorching Sun Palm, defeating Han Feng.
Initially, he thought that such a disciple would be wild and untamed, condescending to others.
However, now that he saw it with his own eyes, he knew that it was very different from what he remembered. It was mainly Chu Chen's answer that made him have a whole new level of respect for him.
"In your opinion, what I'm saying may be nonsense, but Chu Chen has already given us a thorough analysis on the topic. Not only is refining pills a form of cultivation, it is also a type of cultivation method that can be used to kill people, and it's the same with martial skills. What I want to tell you is, if you cultivate well, along with the path of refining pills, you will not be weaker than equipment forging, talisman refining etc."
After the silver-haired Elder said this, every disciple in the classroom felt their blood boil. Although they knew that this was an inspiration, it still allowed them to have a clearer understanding of the path of alchemy.
In many people's memories, although refining pills was noble and respected, one's cultivation was still too low. There wouldn't be much growth in their entire life, let alone pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts.
As for the silver-haired elder's words, they had changed his mind, allowing the crowd to see a completely different world. So, pill refining was not only limited to this.
Previously, he knew very little about pill refining, but today, with just a few words, he had benefited greatly. Otherwise, he would have never thought of those theories just now.
"Alright, let's begin the self-introductions. My surname is Ke, you can call me Elder Ke. In the future, I will first teach you how to refine a pill …"
After the first day of Elder Ke's lecture, all the disciples left. When they passed a corner, they saw a few older students, who were discussing something amongst themselves.
"Look, that madman You is refining the pill again. Even though his strength has not reached the required level, he is still delusional enough to think of refining a high level pill. Look, this is the result."
"Wandering side?" Hearing this, Chu Chen looked over.
Not far away, You Fang's sorry figure was flung out of the Pill Refining Room by a violent Qi, smashing onto the ground. His body was full of wounds and his hair was disheveled.
Even so, his eyes were filled with an unwavering determination, as if he was facing death itself.
This gaze caused Chu Chen's eyes to slightly narrow and he couldn't help but think to himself, This You Fang, such a determined heart, if he were to use it in cultivation, he would definitely be able to achieve great things. Like many people said, he could already enter the inner court.
But the question that followed was, why was You Fang so infatuated with the pill, and why was he willing to give up on cultivating?
At this moment, Wandering wasn't too far away from where he was. He could hear their conversation, but he didn't react at all. He got up, dusted himself off, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and went back into the Pill Refining Room.
From this, it could be seen that this kind of result was commonplace for him.
"He really isn't a simple person." Chu Chen said, he remembered this person in his heart and then left.
In the next half a month, Chu Chen spent all his time on understanding pill refining.
In order to refine pills, one must have soul force. Other than that, there was another condition: control the fire, drive the fire, melt the various materials, and eventually form the pill. In addition, there was also the need for a furnace.2
If one possessed these three types of pills, he would be able to start concocting pills. As for whether he would succeed in the end, there were many other factors.
In short, this was an extremely difficult process, but there was no need to rush things. After Chu Chen understood everything, he had a rough idea.
"Last time, due to unintentional, I swallowed the entirety of the Fire Yuan Vein Qi, and the vitality in my body started to mix with the Fire Elemental Qi, although it was not very rich, it was better than nothing. Now, I have already entered the Spiritual Martial Stage, if I can grasp the power of fire, refining pills shouldn't be a problem." Chu Chen said.
However, mastering the power of nature is extremely difficult. You only need to have a high cultivation base and a certain amount of fortuitous encounters. So, you don't dare to expect too much.
This was a chance for him to live. If he could master the Fire Elemental Energy, although it wouldn't be as strong as fire, it shouldn't be difficult to condense flames.
For example, the Raging Flames Palm that Han Feng used, was a pure Yang martial skill, so when using it, it would bring its own flame, and Chu Chen thought that it was also because of this, he believed that if he could master the Fire Elemental Energy, it would be stronger than a pure Yang martial skill.
"However, before that, I still have to make a trip to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion." Chu Chen muttered to himself. Becoming a disciple of the Academy, coming and going as he pleased, without any restrictions. On the same day, he went to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion and found Sister Yun.
"You want to buy a pill furnace?" Hearing what Chu Chen said, Liu Yun was stunned. This guy hadn't been in the Meteorite Realm for long, could it be that he still needed to concoct pills?
Chu Chen nodded his head: "That's right, I chose to help concoct pills, so I lack a pill furnace. Coincidentally, I have something to do, so I bought it while I was at it."
Especially young people. As far as I know, only Bai Yuhan from the Allied Guilds has the ability to refine pills, because he was born with great talent and he also has a good teacher to teach him. Don't go down the wrong path, otherwise, my investment would go down the drain. Liu Yun laughed.
"Am I a person who goes the wrong way?" Chu Chen shrugged.
"I helped you settle the matter regarding the cauldron. Just now, you said that you had other matters to attend to. What is it?"
"To me, it is a very important matter. Sister Yun, I will have to trouble you again with your Myriad Treasures Pavilion." Chu Chen's face became serious.
"What, looking at your face, it seems like even our Myriad Treasures Pavilion is not enough to do it. Tell me about it?" Liu Yun asked curiously.
Based on the power of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, some of the Meteorite Academy s might not have it, and hence, they could travel unhindered through the entire West Spirit Domain. She believed that Chu Chen understood this point, and since he had said it like that, he must be extraordinary.
"A friend of mine is sick and needs a pill to heal. I will have to trouble Sister Yun to help me take note of these ingredients. I will buy all of the money that is on the market." With that, Chu Chen took out a piece of paper, and all the materials that he needed were written on it.
