Overthrow the Cultivation Civilization

Chapter 150 Becoming an Alchemy Apprentice

"Thank you for your kindness. I will show you how ugly I am. I will play it a few more times. Please watch me."

Being appreciated by two colleagues, although there was some flattery in the middle, it did prove that he was indeed quite capable. Meng Yulang was greatly encouraged, and felt that he had never felt so heroic before. He immediately gave a fist and his Taoist robe fluttered without wind.

"..."

Wang Qiye was very excited after two rounds of Meng's standing posture. This Meng's standing posture simply combines all the skills of close combat, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a skill for fighting enemies in close combat.

"From now on, we need to drive piles in the morning and evening. We need to drive piles as many times in the evening as we drive in the morning."

Meng Yulang stopped punching and looked at the three young men sideways.

"I will definitely live up to Coach Meng's trust."

The three of them shouted in unison.

"We came here for the first three days to get to know the basic situation first, and then report to the course designer. So don't be nervous, just do what you need to do, and then the formal course teaching time will begin."

"Coach Meng is right. We will take our leave today."

Old man Pei was very frugal with his words, so Tan Qian had no choice but to take over the conversation and say goodbye to everyone.

"The three coaches, please walk slowly."

Wang Qiye, Zhu Dachang and Gao Youmo politely saw the coaches off.

After the three coaches left, Wang Qiye quickly performed the Meng style standing posture while the formation was still in effect.

Zhu Dachang and Gao Youmo started practicing again.

When the effect of the formation of a spirit stone for an hour disappeared, Wang Qiye was so tired that he lay down on the ground and didn't want to get up. Zhu Dachang and Gao Youmo also came to him, sat on the ground and took a rest.

"Wang Qiye, you hid it so well, no wonder you look down on Mu Wanqing."

In Zhu Dachang's opinion, Wang Qiye and Mu Wanqing were very close when they were in the outer sect, and they were simply a natural match. After entering the inner sect, Wang Qiye began to give Mu Wanqing a cold look, and he was simply a scumbag.

Wang Qiye couldn't find a way to refute his words. Feelings were really hard to figure out. At that time, he felt very close to her, but now he felt very far away from her. Now it seemed that even Zi Linglan, who had no chance of success, was closer to him than Mu Wanqing.

"This practice room has been booked for the whole year. Come on, add me as a friend first. I'll send you the password to the room later."

Wang Qiye fumbled on the ground with his right hand for a while before he touched a jade pendant. Without even opening his eyes, he lifted it up by feel.

"Okay, Brother Wang."

Gao Youmo quickly took off his identity jade pendant and covered it with it. With a flash of white light, the two of them became friends.

"Don't be so formal. From now on, just call me Wang Qiye, just like pig intestines."

Wang Qiye casually threw the jade pendant on the ground, probed his spiritual consciousness into it, and operated the identity jade pendant to send the room password to Gao Youmo.

"Got it, Brother Qiye."

Seeing that Gao Youmo insisted again and again, Wang Qiye didn't know what to say.

"Wang Qiye, do you still want to practice in the afternoon?"

Zhu Dachang stood up and imitated Wang Qiye, stuffing a spiritual stone into the mouth of the lion against the wall. A series of magic lights lit up, and he began to practice the Meng's standing posture in a proper manner.

"You two go practice. Yan Mengwan and I have an appointment to meet at the Alchemy Hall this afternoon."

"You've found a new love so quickly! You just started dating Purple Belle a few days ago!"

Pig Intestine stopped, turned around to glare at the ungrateful man, and began to speak up for Mu Wanqing.

"Gao Youmo, let's fight a few moves."

It seemed that Zhu Dachang's pig brain was really hopeless, and Wang Qiye didn't want to pay any attention to him. He stood up with a somersault.

"Okay, I've heard from Pig Dachang a long time ago that there is a fierce man from the outer sect of Qingzhu Peak who has entered the secret realm twice. Today I finally met him and I've been wanting to learn from him for a long time."

The thin Gao Youmo stood up, brushed the dust off his butt, kicked his foot, and got a whistle stick in his hand.

Wang Qiye pulled the rope, stretched out his hand, grabbed the Wentian in his hand, and pulled it out easily.

"Up."

Then he raised his knife and chopped forward, fighting with Gao Youmo.

……

In front of the Alchemy Hall.

The afternoon sun was somewhat warm. After having lunch with Zhu Dachang and Gao Youmo in the cafeteria at noon, the three of them parted ways at the restaurant door.

"Master, what service do you need?"

A receptionist in blue shirt came up to greet us with a smile.

"Alchemy Room No. 6, lead the way."

"Taoist Master, please come this way."

The receptionist in green led Wang Qiye through many turns and finally stopped at the door of a room.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Is it Brother Wang?"

A pleasant female voice sounded from inside, with a hint of surprise.

"It's me, Senior Sister Yan."

"Please come in quickly."

When the door of the room opened, a fresh herbal fragrance wafted into the air, but it was still not as bright as the beauty in front of him, which made his eyes brighten.

"Sorry to have kept Senior Sister Yan waiting for a long time."

Wang Qiye quickly bowed.

"Stop standing around and come in quickly."

Yan Mengwan made way and let Wang Qiye in.

The room was surrounded by tall medicine cabinets, and once inside, the mixed smell of herbs became even stronger.

"Ah che-"

Wang Qiye was not used to it at first and sneezed violently.

"Junior Brother Wang, you may not be used to it at first, but after a long time, you will become uncomfortable without these smells."

Yan Mengwan chuckled, fearing that he would back down.

"Ah."

Wang Qiye replied without comment and nodded.

"These are the things that Junior Brother Wang will need to deal with in the future. Start with the most basic research and grinding of medicine. After three years, you will be able to make pills. There are actually not so many rules between the two of us. When I am making pills, you can also watch from the side, so that when you get started, you can also be familiar with the steps first."

Walking through the middle aisle, the two of them went inside while talking.

"This is the room where I rest. There is an empty room opposite. You can clean it up and use it as a temporary rest area. The conditions are a bit simple, and I hope that Junior Brother Wang doesn't mind."

Yan Mengwan finished speaking, with a hint of apology in her tone.

"It doesn't matter. We are all cultivators. These are just floating clouds."

"It's rare that Junior Brother Wang is such a devoted person. Please come this way. The alchemy area is inside."

Yan Mengwan led the way in front, but there was a hint of loss in her words.

After passing through a stone door, the temperature inside instantly rose. Yan Mengwan didn't feel anything, as she had fire and wood spiritual roots and was naturally close to fire. However, Wang Qiye felt that the surrounding atmosphere was very uncomfortable, as if he was in the desert.

"Junior brother, this is the place where we stir up the earth fire to refine the elixir."

"Senior Sister Yan, why are there four alchemy furnaces?"

Looking at the four alchemy furnaces roasting on the ground fire, Wang Qiye showed interest. This was not quite the same as the alchemy method he had imagined.

The entire alchemy room was as big as four master bedrooms, with four large openings on the ground, each far apart. Each alchemy furnace was as tall as a person and as wide as an arm stretched out, with different insect, fish, bird and animal patterns engraved on them. Even without opening the lid, one could already smell a strong herbal aroma.

"Junior brother, you don't know that it takes ninety-nine eighty-one days to make a first-level pill. Even the most powerful alchemist needs seventy-seven forty-nine days to refine a furnace of first-level pills."

"However, the furnace does not need to be looked after all the time. During these 9981 days, the master of the alchemy only needs to do it himself on certain nine days. The temperature of the underground fire can be set at other times. If you are not good at this, you can ask a fire maker to tell them what underground fire temperature to use during the time period and entrust the furnace to them."

Yan Mengwan began to explain so that he could have a more comprehensive understanding of alchemy.

"Ah."

Wang Qiye hummed in response. It was like a mountain between two different trades. Cultivating the Hundred Arts, none of which seemed easy. Generally speaking, alchemy seemed to take a little less time than refining tools, which might be the biggest advantage. But when I thought about the time it took to plant the herbs, it seemed to be more difficult than refining tools.

"Senior Sister Yan is now taking care of four alchemy furnaces by herself. Isn't that difficult?"

Wang Qiye complimented.

"No, usually Ye Lingxi helps to look after the temperature of the fire. She had something to do today, so she didn't come."

After saying that, Yan Mengwan glanced at Wang Qiye guiltily, and then she heaved a sigh of relief when she found that he had been concentrating on looking at the alchemy furnace.

"Sister Yan, what is your success rate now?"

Wang Qiye asked curiously.

"The first-level elixir can now maintain 80%, the second-level elixir is at 60%, and the third-level elixir is only 30%."

When Yan Mengwan talked about alchemy, she became more confident and radiant.

Just then Wang Qiye turned around and saw a jasmine flower blooming in front of him. He was stunned for a moment.

A single man and a single woman were in the same room, and the whole scene suddenly became ambiguous.

"Junior brother, let me show you what to do in the early stages of an apprenticeship."

In the end, the little princess was too shy and gave in. She turned around and nervously combed a tuft of hair on her chest.

"Oh well."

Only then did Wang Qiye notice that he had offended the beauty. For a moment he just wanted to find a place to hide and he couldn't even speak clearly.

"Come with me."

Yan Mengwan left the alchemy room and led Wang Qiye back to the front hall.

"In fact, if you want to increase the success rate of pills, braided herbs are the most important. Not being able to see how much medicinal value the herbs still have and just copying the dosage on the pill recipe is what a low-level alchemist does. Such alchemists sometimes have trouble even securing their capital."

"Mastering the five elements and skillfully using the five elements characteristics of various herbs to make pills is what an intermediate alchemist does. Only this kind of alchemist can really earn spirit stones, and they are also the backbone of the current cultivation and alchemy world."

"The top-level alchemists are already proficient in replacing one or several herbs in the recipe, and can ensure a success rate of over 80%. But they dare not replace too many, otherwise what they refine will be another batch of elixirs."

After Yan Mengwan finished speaking, she showed pride again, waiting for Wang Qiye to praise her or ask her a few questions, but she could not get any response from this wooden man.
