Chapter 146 Three Fires
"It's a small matter, just take care of our store's business." Shopkeeper Xi chuckled.
He was very aware of Yu Changsheng's potential. It seemed like he had lost money this time, but in the long run, Shopkeeper Xi felt that this was not a successful investment.
As he said, it's just for making friends.
Naturally, Yu Changsheng was not unaware of these thoughts, and they were not harmful to him. They were both beneficial to each other, so he simply accepted them.
"Yes, I will keep today's events in mind and leave first." Yu Changsheng nodded and put the pill recipe away.
Shopkeeper Xi, the good man, was also happy to go to the end and sent another batch of medicinal materials to Yu Changsheng, which contained almost all the medicinal materials needed for the Yun Beast Pill.
But this time, Yu Changsheng still insisted on paying, and the latter refused after a while of refusal.
Shopkeeper Xi also understands that investment is investment, but being too diligent is not necessarily a good thing and will also put pressure on the other party.
After chatting for a while again, Yu Changsheng almost clasped his fists and said goodbye.
"Okay, I wish fellow Taoist success in advance."
Shopkeeper Xi sent Yu Changsheng out of the store with a smile on his face. He looked at Yu Changsheng's back for a long time and slowly exhaled.
"It's not easy."
He shook his head and continued doing business with a smile on his face.
Yu Changsheng left the first-grade medicine hall and returned directly to the Royal Beast Peak.
"Just some of the medicinal materials are so expensive. If I hadn't earned a lot of spiritual stones these days, it would be enough for me to go back and forth." Yu Changsheng muttered, a little aching for those spiritual stones.
"No wonder the Foundation Establishment Pill is expensive but not widely available. Alas, spending money is like running water!"
While sighing, I saw the Royal Beast Peak in sight, so I went to Mr. Wei's place first, but it turned out that Mr. Wei was not there, and I don't know where he went.
After the daily feeding was over and he headed towards the alchemy hall, Gongsun Yang forced a smile on his old face when he saw the visitor.
"Here you go, I haven't seen you refining elixirs for a while, so don't be unfamiliar with your skills."
Yu Changsheng smiled bitterly, clasped his fists and said, "Master said, it's not that we are unfamiliar. There have been a lot of things lately, so I just took the time to ask Master."
Gongsun Yang touched his beard, felt Yu Changsheng's aura, and was slightly surprised: "I have improved a lot in my cultivation. Yes, I came here this time because I want to continue learning the third fire, empty fire, right?"
"I can't hide anything from Master," Yu Changsheng nodded, "We have collected all the medicinal materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill, and we still have to trouble Master."
"Ready to build the foundation..." Gongsun Yang murmured, his expression slightly complicated, but it was soon replaced by joy, and he laughed.
"That's right. When your cultivation level has further settled down and you have reached the peak of Qi refining, I will refine the Foundation Establishment Pill for you. The fresh medicine will have the best effect. As an alchemist, your cultivation level is indeed very important. Ah, only with the support of cultivation can we go further."
As he spoke, Gongsun Yang's eyes darkened slightly inadvertently, and he sighed deeply.
He himself suffered a disadvantage in his cultivation. At such a young age, due to his mediocre cultivation talent, he was only at the first level of foundation building. After trying all possible methods, his alchemy skills could reach the third level.
Therefore, even if his cultivation level is low, he is still respected in the sect. The only regret is his cultivation level. If his cultivation level reaches the late stage of foundation building and above, then a fourth-level alchemist is not out of reach for him.
In his opinion, Yu Changsheng's current cultivation speed was definitely regarded as a gift. He was filled with emotions, but more importantly, he was filled with pride.
"Perhaps, I, Gongsun Yang, can personally teach a fourth-level alchemist?" Such thoughts flashed through his mind, and Gongsun Yang looked at Yu Changsheng with even more eager eyes and a smile on his face.
"Thank you so much, Master." Yu Changsheng thanked him happily, and at the same time handed Gongsun Yang the storage bag containing the medicinal materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Based on his current alchemy skills, it would be safer to leave it to Gongsun Yang to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. After all, he has refined many Foundation Establishment Pills for the sect over the years, and he still has experience and skills.
"That's the case, now I'm here to teach you, the third fire of Sanwen Fire Alchemy, empty fire, is also the most difficult fire."
Gongsun Yang was sitting upright, cross-legged on the ground.
Yu Changsheng looked serious and leaned forward to listen.
"Empty fire is different from the first two fires. Empty means ethereal and illusory, long and endless."
"This fire also has relatively high requirements for mana. The mana is not strong enough and cannot last long. When the elixir is formed, the empty fire has the effect of making it more round and convergent..."
Gongsun Yang's teachings were very detailed and vivid. When necessary, he would often give Yu Changsheng a hands-on demonstration in person. If it wasn't enough, he would do it again.
By the way, I also reviewed some details of the similarities between the first two fires, which made Yu Changsheng suddenly enlightened, like sitting in the spring breeze.
An hour passed slowly. Seeing Yu Changsheng closing his eyes and meditating, Gongsun Yang nodded with satisfaction, his mouth was a little dry.
"Please study it carefully. It took me a month to get started with this empty fire."
Gongsun Yang sighed inwardly, thinking about those days when he was refining alchemy, he felt a little nostalgic.
"Because of my cultivation, if I don't have the opportunity, I may never have the chance to continue to break through the alchemy path in this life. But fortunately, having such a disciple who can inherit my mantle means that this method has not tarnished its glory. …”
With his eyes wandering, Gongsun Yang thought a lot and was slightly lost in thought for a while.
"Empty fire...goes into the void like a spirit, seems to be an illusion but not an illusion, and can do whatever you want...draw the fire..."
While half asleep and half awake, Yu Changsheng seemed to have entered a very mysterious state. His thoughts were spinning and he was very ethereal. Everything about Kong Huo was transformed into many small dots in his mind, becoming clearer and clearer bit by bit.
"So, that's it!"
I don't know how long it took, but Yu Changsheng had a clear understanding, his eyes widened, and a flash of light flashed through his eyes.
"Ethereal, ignites fire, takes the power of heaven and earth, and captures the endless void! It's like fire, but not fire! The point is Yun?!"
When the thoughts are clear, the spiritual consciousness is also pulled up, and all the mana is naturally mobilized, running round and round according to the strange trajectory. At the same time, the spiritual consciousness guides the void, heaven and earth, and gradually, wisps of light gather together. , a flame with a light yellowish color slowly appeared in front of Yu Changsheng, rising and falling and burning slowly...
Although this flame is weak and tiny, it gives people an ethereal, illusive and natural feeling. It seems that a breeze can blow it away, but it is eternal and can be born at any time, which is very strange.
Yu Changsheng looked at the flame with slightly obsessed eyes, and a smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Although the level of an alchemist will not increase by leaps and bounds due to the improvement of this fire, there is no doubt that mastering this fire will be important to one's future alchemy.
