Chapter 54 Is this all the Master is?
Chapter 54 Master... That's it?
Li Xiuchang was both looking forward to Zhao Yuansi's lectures and a little guilty.
What he was looking forward to was of course the effect of the lectures.
Senior Brother Motu gave him two classes, and his length increased by an inch and a half.
Zhao Yuansi, a fifth-level master of the alchemy, gave him one class, so wouldn't his length increase by more than two inches?
What he felt guilty about was that if Zhao Yuansi checked his progress in the alchemy, he would not be able to show it off.
Since he became Zhao Yuansi's apprentice, he was busy smoking meat to earn spirit stones, busy practicing, busy farming, busy practicing magic, and did not spend much time on the alchemy.
So far, he can only refine a few kinds of non-level medicinal powders.
He can't even refine the most basic pills such as the Bigu Pill.
He had to continue to cram and practice intensively in the last two days, with the goal of refining the Bigu Pill!
Unfortunately, Li Xiuchang did not have the heaven-defying talent in the alchemy as he did in the spiritual plant path.
Two days of intensive training did not allow him to master the ability to steadily refine the Bigu Pill.
Seeing that he was going to attend the class tomorrow, Li Xiuchang had to ask Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi for advice.
He heard that among the more than ten skills that Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi mastered, Dan Dao was included.
…
Li Xiuchang knocked on the door of No. 1, Donggeng District.
“A Chang, you are here.”
The door was opened, and Zhang Wanzhi welcomed Li Xiuchang in.
Perhaps because they were getting more and more familiar with each other, Zhang Wanzhi changed the address from “Junior Brother Li” to “A Chang”, and Li Xiuchang did not notice it at the first time.
Li Xiuchang had communicated with Zhang Wanzhi through the identity token before he came, so Zhang Wanzhi already knew his purpose.
“This Dan Dao is not my best, but if I just teach you to refine a Bigu Pill, it is no problem.” Zhang Wanzhi said confidently.
“Then I will trouble you, Senior Brother.”
Time was tight, and Li Xiuchang did not waste words, and took out his top-grade magic furnace and various raw materials for refining Bigu Pill.
"Let me make it first and show you how to make it, and then you can imitate my steps."
"Okay."
Li Xiuchang watched Zhang Wanzhi demonstrate how to make the Bigu Pill with great concentration.
Unconsciously, his mind was immersed in it, as if he felt every move of Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi.
It was as if he shared his consciousness with Zhang Wanzhi.
When Zhang Wanzhi finished the demonstration, Li Xiuchang had completely fallen into his own world of thought, and summarized the various problems he encountered when making the pill.
After a full quarter of an hour, he came back to his senses, feeling that he was now terribly strong, his confidence was infinitely expanded, and he couldn't wait to start making the pill himself.
This time, the Bigu Pill was closer to success than any previous time, but he still made a mistake in the last step, and the pill broke and became a pile of medicine residue.
But this progress is already visible to the naked eye.
Next, Li Xiuchang continued to try, and during the process of refining the pill, Zhang Wanzhi gave some pointers from time to time, which made Li Xiuchang feel enlightened every time.
It seemed that Zhang Wanzhi was just teaching him how to refine the Bigu Pill, but in fact, many of the techniques were common to all kinds of pills.
In the second attempt, one pill was made from a furnace of pills, and three or four were wasted.
In the third attempt, four pills were made.
"Okay, you have basically mastered the Bigu Pill refining method. Go back and practice diligently to consolidate it."
Only then did Li Xiuchang stop, and he still felt unsatisfied.
In just one hour, Li Xiuchang made much more progress than he had in two days of practice.
It is true that having a teacher to teach and not having a teacher to teach are two completely different things.
With such a success rate, Li Xiuchang has already passed the Bigu Pill refining. Even if Zhao Yuansi asks about his progress in the alchemy tomorrow, he does not need to be shy, and he can show it off completely.
Li Xiuchang did not forget to take a glance at the length value, and the length increased by 0.2 in one class!
It seems that Senior Brother Zhang's teaching level is a little worse than Senior Brother Mo... Li Xiuchang still remembers that when Mo Tu gave him the Soul Control class, the length increased by nearly half an inch in one class.
In a spiritual plant class, the length increased by more than an inch, of course, this was due to his spiritual plant talent bonus.
After leaving Zhang Wanzhi's residence, Li Xiuchang returned to his own courtyard to continue refining the Bigu Pill. After many attempts, he can ensure that the Bigu Pill success rate exceeds 80%, and he can even try to increase the dosage, and produce seven or eight pills in one furnace.
And with his continuous practice, his length value finally reached two inches again.
...
The next day, Li Xiuchang rushed to Zhao's house early in the morning.
There were already many people gathered outside the Zhao's house, about a dozen, all unfamiliar faces that Li Xiuchang did not recognize.
They were talking in groups of two or three. When they saw Li Xiuchang coming, they were all stunned for a moment. After a while, someone smiled and said, "Is this the little junior brother that Master just accepted?"
In Xianchen Sect, the relationship between disciples and technicians is loose, and naturally they are not very close to other brothers who are under the same technician. Most of them have little interaction.
However, because Zhao Yuansi always likes to gather his disciples together for large classes, these disciples gradually get to know each other.
Li Xiuchang saw that everyone's eyes were on him, so he had to briefly introduce himself and say a few polite words.
These brothers and sisters were also polite, and some were quite curious about Li Xiuchang and came forward to talk to him.
Li Xiuchang dealt with it in a casual manner, feeling a little embarrassed. Fortunately, at this time, the door of Zhao's house finally opened.
"Come in."
Zhao Yuansi's voice came from Zhao's house.
More than a dozen disciples entered in a line and came all the way to the main hall of Zhao's house.
Zhao Yuansi looked dressed up today, with a feather fan and a long beard, and he looked extraordinary.
He sat high in the hall, with more than a dozen cushions neatly arranged below him.
Li Xiuchang saw other senior brothers and sisters taking their seats one after another, and he also found a cushion at the back and sat cross-legged.
The biggest difficulty in giving a large class is that the level of the disciples attending the class is uneven, and it is not appropriate to talk too deep or too shallow.
But this is naturally not difficult for Zhao Yuansi, a master of the alchemy.
Zhao Yuansi is not a person who likes to talk nonsense, and he did not waste time. Seeing that everyone was gathered, he quickly started to teach.
What he said sounded very basic, but it directly pointed to the essence of the alchemy.
For many things, everyone knows how to do it, but they don’t know why they do it.
Knowing the fact but not the reason.
Zhao Yuansi broke down the simple things and explained them in detail to deepen the disciples’ understanding of the alchemy.
Let a novice in the alchemy like Li Xiuchang understand the surface, and think deeply, and seem to have some enlightenment.
Those senior brothers and sisters who are much better than Li Xiuchang in Dan Dao can also diverge their thinking based on these basic knowledge and have their own understanding.
Li Xiuchang listened attentively, trying to understand and digest every word said by the master. Even if he could not understand it on the spot, he would remember it and prepare to go back and ruminate.
While listening, he truly felt the gap between himself and Dan Dao masters like Zhao Yuansi.
Zhao Yuansi's Dan Dao level is so high that it is like a crane in the clouds, far away and unreachable.
Some of the most superficial things can also explain profound truths, which makes him sometimes difficult to understand and seem to understand.
Unlike Motu and Zhang Wanzhi, when they gave him lectures, they were very simple and he understood them as soon as he heard them.
The master is indeed a master... Li Xiuchang sighed in his heart.
However, when a class was over, Li Xiuchang glanced at the length value and was stunned.
Master... That's it?
