Chapter 205: Conjectures about Formation Spells(1/2)
After Chang Gu heard this, he smiled coldly: "Accept you as a disciple? Ha, you kid has a pretty good idea. However, I have long said that you are not suitable for the path of alchemy. You don't have it at all.
Life, it’s better to give up on this idea.”
Li Wuqi smiled and said: "What's the harm in trying? Senior Chang Gu won't even give me a chance?"
Chang Gu took a deep look at Li Wuqi and thought to himself: "This guy has a lot of crooked ideas. He might have prepared some insidious means! If I had been straightforward and agreed, otherwise I would have fallen into this guy's scheme!
"
So he rolled his little eyes and said: "I can give you the opportunity. This is not a powerful elixir, it is just a basic one. Even if you refine it in one go, it doesn't mean anything!"
Li Wuqi said: "Then what Senior Chang Gu means is..."
Chang Gu said confidently: "Let's do this, I will show you another method of refining the elixir. If you learn it after watching it once, it means that your kid may really have a thing or two in this."
Talent! Only then can you be qualified to be my disciple, Changgu!"
Although Li Wuqi already has the skill of "Alchemy", this does not mean that he is already a qualified alchemist.
He still doesn't know some basic knowledge about alchemy, but with the support of the system, he is particularly sensitive to the knowledge of alchemy and his memory has improved.
But when Li Wuqi saw Chang Gu's evil smile, he couldn't help but think that the old Taoist priest might be up to some dirty tricks!
For example, if he deliberately allowed himself to refine some particularly difficult elixirs, Li Wuqi would naturally not be able to refine them.
He directly said to Hase: "Senior, please don't deliberately choose some particularly difficult pills for me. I am still a novice after all. If you really do this, you will be bullying others."
Chang Gu said: "Don't worry, Pindao won't do such unsavory things, but since it is a challenge, I will naturally give you some challenging tasks, otherwise, my name, Chang Gu, will not be worth anything."
For this reason, Li Wuqi smiled: "In that case, let's do it. I naturally believe in Senior Chang Gu's character."
The three disciples were also shocked when they saw this scene.
Qing'er whispered to Li Wuqi: "General Li, don't be impulsive! Teacher Chang Gu is different from other alchemists. The ordinary elixirs he talks about are already high-end elixirs in the eyes of others! If even he thinks so,
Such a challenging task means that it is definitely not something that ordinary people can refine!"
Li Wuqi smiled: "Don't worry Qing'er, I'm not an ordinary person."
The other two people also said: "Oh! Let General Li give it a try, otherwise, he really thinks that our talents are too low."
Chang Gu snorted coldly: "The qualifications of the three of you are not very good! I am willing to accept you, which is a great mercy on my part!"
Whenever Chang Gu speaks to anyone, he is always so cold and forceful.
Li Wuqi finally understood why Chang Gu couldn't find his favorite disciple for decades.
Who can stand the way he speaks? Even if he finds a disciple, he may not be able to keep him, and he will run away soon.
Among the three disciples Qing'er in front of me, someone might run away, but I don't know which one ran away first.
Chang Gu said to Qing'er and the others: "You guys, go get the medicinal materials!"
The three asked: "Teacher, which medicinal material do you want?"
Chang Gu said majesticly: "Bring me whatever you have!"
Li Wuqi was surprised when he heard this: "Senior Changgu, what kind of elixir are you trying to make? How can you still use so many medicinal materials?"
Chang Gu said: "Huh! Are you scared? If you are scared, just leave quickly, don't delay my discipleship!"
Li Wuqi smiled and said: "I'm not afraid, I'm just a little curious. Senior Changgu, please do it yourself."
Chang Gu snorted, then turned his head and said to Qing'er and the others: "Why are you standing there in a daze? Go quickly!"
So Qing'er and the three of them responded, then went into the house together, took out many types of medicinal materials, and filled half of the alchemy room.
Chang Gu said: "The elixir I am going to practice today is said to be a standard for testing the qualifications of an alchemist!"
"As long as you can refine this elixir, you are considered to have some talent! Those who cannot refine it are destined to not achieve much success on the road of elixir refining."
Qing'er and the other three listened to Chang Gu's speech and were so satisfied that they couldn't help but ask: "Testing qualifications? Teacher has this kind of elixir, why don't you take it out and give it to us to try?"
"Yes, we also want to know what our qualifications are."
Changgu glanced at the three of them, but said disdainfully: "You three still need to try? Humph!"
His words made all three of them a little embarrassed.
Li Wuqi said: "Senior Chang Gu, don't be too pretentious. What kind of elixir is it?"
Chang Gu glanced sideways at Li Wuqi and said calmly: "Why are you in a hurry? You will know after I finish practicing."
So he ordered Qing'er to light the alchemy furnace, and then used his soul energy to turn the fire of the alchemy furnace into colorful spiritual fire.
This hand can completely suppress several people.
Li Wuqing was also quite surprised. He had never seen an alchemist refining pills with his own eyes. He didn't expect that this scene was so mysterious.
Li Wuqi was still sighing: "Awesome, Senior Chang Gu!"
Qing'er rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you know what the spiritual fire represents?"
"It means that the quality of this elixir is already very high! It seems that the teacher is holding his breath and doesn't want you to recite such an elixir."
When Li Wuqi saw that Chang Gu was so aggressive, he knew that the difficulty of refining this elixir was probably not low. Although he had the system of "Alchemy", after all, he had just understood the skill of "Alchemy" and his level was not high.
Raised to a very high level.
It was really embarrassing for me to try such a difficult elixir right away.
However, Chang Guwu began to refine elixirs.
I saw him putting a lot of medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace. His technique seemed to be free and freehand, but in fact it was hidden secrets.
The order, weight, and even strength of adding the medicinal materials, as well as the heat of the spiritual fire under the alchemy furnace are all very particular!
These cannot be accomplished by just relying on memory.
So Li Wuqi thought to himself that he might not be able to complete Senior Chang Gu's test.
But what he didn't expect was that as Chang Gu's alchemy continued, the system's proficiency also continued to improve——
["Alchemy" Progress 1]
["Alchemy" Progress 1]
["Alchemy" Progress 1]
…
Soon, the proficiency level of the skill "Alchemy" reached mastery.
Li Wuqi's eyes gradually became strange, because as the level of alchemy continued to increase, Chang Gu's movements became traceable in his eyes.
The rules of adding medicinal materials seem to have been gradually figured out by myself.
He probably knew what elixir Chang Gu was practicing now and how he should practice it.
This feeling is really wonderful, as if there is a steady stream of knowledge being actively poured into my head. I don’t even have to think of ways to absorb it, but it has been deeply engraved in my mind. The mastery of this knowledge has become
Extremely clear.
The elixir that Chang Gu wants to practice is probably the Peiyuan Dan, which is used to enhance physical fitness. It is a top-grade elixir!
Sure enough, it is not something that ordinary alchemists can easily practice. For someone like Li Wuqi who has never been exposed to the alchemy industry, the probability of successfully refining this kind of elixir for the first time is infinitely close to zero.
This also shows that Chang Gu does not want Li Wuqi to complete this test and accept him as his disciple, but is just trying to find ways to make things difficult.
Li Wuqi smiled slightly. The most correct thing for him to do at this time was to pretend that he could not refine this elixir, so as not to hurt Chang Gu's face.
When Chang Gu feels better, he might agree to teach Li Wuqi more advanced alchemy techniques.
However, Li Wuqi felt that he already had this skill in his system, and he didn't even need Chang Gu to teach him.
Anyway, as long as you are exposed to things related to alchemy, your proficiency will continue to increase. In this case, even if you just take out a book of alchemy recipes and read them constantly, your alchemy skills will also increase.
Then there is no need for Chang Gu to teach me, and I can become a master of alchemy.
Before Chang Gu finished refining the elixir, Li Wuqi said: "Senior Chang Gu, I have already learned it."
"What?!"
The three of them looked at him in surprise: "General Li, what are you talking about?"
Li Wuqi repeated it again: "I have learned it, I know what kind of elixir it is... Senior Chang Gu, you are refining the Peiyuan Dan, right?"
Hearing that Li Wuqi really said the name of the elixir accurately, a flash of surprise flashed in Chang Gu's eyes: "Hey! You kid is really a bit crooked! Tell me! How did you know that this is the Peiyuan elixir?"
Li Wuqi smiled: "Senior, I am already familiar with this elixir, so let me start refining it directly!"
Then, he used his soul energy to ignite another alchemy furnace to form a spiritual fire.
Then, based on the knowledge of Peiyuan Dan that suddenly entered his mind, he selected the correct medicinal materials and put them into the alchemy furnace one by one.
And began to activate the spiritual fire to refine elixirs!
His skillful movements and control of the heat are all perfect, and he can even be described as proficient!
Several people present were dumbfounded.
Senior Chang Gu was even more shocked: "What's going on with you kid? You're going to hell!"
How come in the blink of an eye, this kid's alchemy level has skyrocketed to an incredible level!
