Chapter 6: The gifted disciple
Early the next morning, Kieran woke up from his sleep and sat up suddenly in bed. He was confused for a while before he remembered why he had to get up early.
It seems that I have accepted a disciple and will teach her how to practice today.
Before going to bed last night, he reminded himself to lead by example and...get up early.
"Ah!!!" Realizing this, Qin Ran couldn't help but hid his face and wailed, what evil had he done? ! !
"Mom, I don't want to go to school..."
"Please wake up, you are the teacher!!"
Finally got up.
Kieran wore a white singlet, opened the bedroom door, and came to the corridor. The cool and moist wind blew from the forest in the early morning, carrying the fragrance of grass and earth, making him wake up instantly.
He looked up at the vast sky. There were only a few clouds drifting slowly. There was a golden light behind the forest, which was the sun rising.
It’s another sunny day!
Kieran stretched.
Looking back, he glanced at the bedroom door next to him, hesitated, but still didn't go over and knock on the door.
"Let her sleep a little longer." He shook his head and sighed.
At such a young age, thousands of miles away from home, it was not easy to come here to practice cultivation. It was so pitiful that it reminded him that he had inexplicably traveled to this world.
After walking slowly downstairs, Qin Ran went straight into the kitchen, took a cup and poured a cup of pure white milk, then took something like a pack of jelly beans from the refrigerator and sat on the dining table.
Making things that are the same as those on earth is the only comfort for him as a traveler in another world.
The refrigerator was made by him using the formation method. The principle of using the formation method to realize the refrigerator is relatively simple, and the shape is the same as the refrigerator on earth;
The jelly beans are a breakfast made by him using the alchemy techniques of Bigu Dan. He changed the raw materials of Bigu Dan and added some of his favorite flavors. It is nutritious, healthy and delicious;
The milk was bought at the market. It was also milk, but it was not the milk of ordinary cows, but the milk of a type called Triangle Red Cow.
There is no special supply of milk in this world, but you can buy milk from various monsters in the Immortal Cultivator Market. Some of these milks have been tried by predecessors and are not only delicious but also beneficial to spiritual practice, such as the milk of the triangular red cow; some are newly obtained by the monks, and no one has ever drunk them, and they don't even know if they can drink them.
After taking a sip of milk, Qin Ran took a book from the shelf next to him. The book was about rare and rare animals, and it was just for eating. As he watched, he tossed jelly beans into his mouth, feeling relaxed and at ease.
While he was eating, the door to the living room outside was suddenly pushed open. He heard the sound and looked over, and saw Li Shiyin in a bright yellow double-collar gown walking in from the outside.
Li Shiyin's eyes passed through the living room, saw Qin Ran in the kitchen, and walked over.
"You..." Aren't you sleeping? Qin Ran hesitated and said, "Where have you been?"
"I walked around outside and looked everywhere." Li Shiyin replied.
"Oh!" As expected, he was the lazy dog. Qin Ran nodded and said without changing his expression, "It's quite early."
"I'm used to it. It's always like this at home." Li Shiyin said.
"All like this? What do you do at home?" Qin Ran stood up, took a cup, poured half a cup of milk for Li Shiyin, and said, "Sit down and have some breakfast."
"Breakfast?" Li Shiyin asked. The master sometimes spoke strangely. Although he could understand him, his words and sentences were a bit awkward.
"Breakfast is almost the same as rice." Kieran said casually, putting the cup on the table in front of Li Shiyin, "Milk from the Triangular Red Cow is good for your health, but you can't drink too much."
Li Shiyin sat down and said, "My father is the general of the Northern Chu Kingdom and has been very strict with us since childhood."
Northern Chu Kingdom? Not far from Daojianmen... From a geographical point of view, it can be said that Daojianmen is within the territory of Northern Chu State, but there is no actual superior-subordinate relationship between Beichu State and Daojianmen.
Qin Ran, who had traveled through time, could be considered half Northern Chu.
"The general family?" Qin Ran smiled.
No wonder, this girl could climb the mountain with him for a whole day yesterday, and she could get up so early today. He thought that ordinary people in this world also have such good physical fitness!
He pushed the breakfast jelly beans to Li Shiyin and said, "This is made using the same method of refining Bigu Pill. It is my personal taste. I will teach you how to make it later, and you can make it to your own taste."
There were so many strange things that Li Shiyin felt like she was almost used to them. She poured two jelly beans into her mouth. The jelly beans melted in her mouth, sweet and turned into a warm stream that slid into her esophagus.
She glanced at Kieran and realized that the master liked sweets.
The two chatted in the kitchen for a while, and after breakfast, Kieran took Li Shiyin to the other side of the river and arrived in front of the masonry building.
Qin Ran opened the door and said to Li Shiyin: "Usually meditating and refining alchemy are done here. Refining alchemy is refining alchemy, and life is life, so it should be separated."
"?" Li Shiyin was confused, not quite understanding Qin Ran's mind. Isn’t it all about cultivation? Isn’t the whole point of being an alchemist just to make alchemy? But she didn't dare ask.
"The first floor is the place for alchemy. There is an alchemy furnace, earth core fire, Xuan Ning Shui, and a centrifuge... Oh, it's the centrifugal formation." The two walked into the corridor, and Qin Ran found a room for Li Shiyin. A brief introduction to the room, “The first floor is basically the place used for alchemy.
"Then the second floor is where the medicinal materials are stored, and the third floor is where the elixirs are stored..."
With that said, he took Li Shiyin to the second floor and opened a room. The room was decorated like a Chinese medicine shop, with rows of brown drawers containing medicinal materials.
"What about the first step in refining alchemy? It is to know the medicinal materials..." There were tables and chairs in the middle of the room. Qin Ran asked Li Shiyin to sit down, while he opened a drawer and took out a large bag of medicinal herbs from the small drawer, "This It is the main material for refining Hui Yuan Dan, Gu Yuan Grass.”
Li Shiyin sat there and watched the master take out the herbs from the small drawer, knowing that there must be some kind of universe formation arranged there.
As Qin Ran spoke, he took out more than a dozen medicinal materials of different forms from other drawers and introduced them to Li Shiyin one by one. Li Shiyin's head was buzzing.
"These are all the medicinal materials for refining the Huiyuan Pill. The Huiyuan Pill is a very basic elixir. It is usually used by monks in the foundation-building stage to quickly restore mana. If you don't have enough mana in battle, you can use the Huiyuan Pill. Dan makes up for it.”
Qin Ran took out a portion of each medicinal ingredient and placed it on the table in front of Li Shiyin. He also took out a book from the purse-like Qiankun bag hanging on his waist and handed it to Li Shiyin.
"Your task today is to write down the original appearance of these medicinal materials. What they look like, how they are collected, how they are processed, what the finished medicinal materials look like, what their medicinal effects are, and the amount used in making elixirs. , what method should be used when refining alchemy..."
As he spoke, he suddenly saw Li Shiyin's confused eyes, but stopped, and finally said, "Forget it, just remember the appearance and efficacy, the original appearance of the medicinal materials and the processed appearance."
Looking at the medicinal materials in front of her and listening to her master's mumbling words, Li Shiyin had been confused for a long time. She finally found a bit of the master's smell in him, not just a little bit, but a smell that was even more terrifying than the old master in her family. She just nodded vaguely.
"That's it..." Qin Ran finished explaining and walked out with large and small bags, "I'll go downstairs to make alchemy, and I'll come up around noon for questioning."
Li Shiyin looked at Qin Ran's back as he went out, and slowly came back to reality. She held up the book in her hands, turned her head reluctantly, and opened the first page of the book. There were pictures and words on the pages, and the pictures were in color. It's very realistic, the words are... densely packed and very detailed.
She took a look...
"Ah..." I yawned loudly and muttered to myself, "Did you get up early today? I feel a little sleepy..."
Although Danfeng has declined and has almost ceased to exist in name only, it is Danfeng after all, and what needs to be done must still be done.
So, what should Danfeng do? Of course it’s alchemy! Provide basic elixir supply to Daojian Sect.
Of course, if he wanted to provide all the elixir supplies for the entire sect, it would really require Qin Ran's death, but it was still okay to provide some basic and necessary ones within his ability.
For example, he can refine the urgently needed elixirs such as Bigu Pill, Huiyuan Pill, and Foundation Establishment Pill.
What Qin Ran planned to refine today was the Huiyuan Pill.
Recovery Pill, a basic elixir that can quickly restore mana, is needed by everyone from low-level monks to top-level monks in the world of immortality. Well, low-level monks need low-grade Huiyuan Pills, while high-level monks need high-grade Huiyuan Pills.
So what about Qin Ran's alchemy skills? I can't say it's good, nor can I say it's bad. How can I say it? I can only say it's different from others.
Because he has a little scientific research spirit, he cannot be compared with other alchemists in the immortal world.
The most obvious feature is that his alchemy speed is much faster than that of ordinary alchemists. Because once he thoroughly understands the recipe of this elixir, his refining techniques will be different.
In only one morning, other alchemists can open up to one furnace, which may not be successful, and even if it is successful, one furnace can only open seven or eight pills; but Qin Ran can open two to three furnaces, and each furnace can be successful, and one furnace can be successful. Said there were ten.
After completing today's task easily, Qin Ran went upstairs with three or four porcelain bottles, humming a tune, and prepared to check out Li Shiyin's medicinal materials.
Unexpectedly, when he opened the door and took a look, Li Shiyin's dream saliva almost covered the table...
