Chapter 48: Middle-grade alchemist, perfect score on elixir theory
has passed for a few days.
The Yunwu Mountains have entered winter, with heavy snowfall, making the monks' survival even more difficult.
Especially for monks who went into the mountains to hunt monsters, the monsters hid due to the heavy snow. Not only was hunting more dangerous, but they also couldn't find prey for a long time, resulting in nothing.
Of course, these things had nothing to do with Zhou Sui. He still stayed at home to practice.
Wow~~
At this time, Zhou Sui was sitting cross-legged on the ground. He used the power of the Book Gu, and wisps of gray air flowed into the depths of his soul, which greatly improved his understanding.
A lot of knowledge about first-level alchemy emerged in his mind.
Originally, he just memorized this knowledge and did not fully understand it. However, with the help of Book Gu, he gained a deep understanding of this knowledge.
This feeling is like studying elixir knowledge for more than ten years.
Vaguely, his soul seemed to have entered Shugu's internal virtual library, where he was constantly learning how to purify elixirs and refine elixirs, as if he had been an alchemy apprentice for more than ten years.
He is already extremely familiar with alchemy, and he has it in his hand.
"First-level mid-level alchemist."
At this moment, Zhou Sui opened his eyes and looked at his virtual panel. After several days of hard training, he had been promoted to the realm of first-level mid-level alchemy master.
With the help of the power of book Gu, he devoured the jade slips inherited by that level of alchemy master, and then ate those alchemy recipes. He knew the theoretical knowledge of alchemy like the back of his hand and thoroughly understood it.
But unfortunately, since there is no Danding, he currently has no chance to experiment.
To put it simply, it means full marks for theory and zero marks for practice.
But he believed that as long as he could operate it skillfully a few times, he would be able to completely learn how to make alchemy.
It won't be long before he can become a second-level alchemist and even be able to refine foundation-building pills.
"The power of book Gu is indeed mysterious."
Zhou Sui sighed with emotion.
Without the help of Book Gu, he might not be able to get started even after practicing hard for more than ten years.
But now, as long as Shu Gu eats those books and jade slips, he can start learning on his own and achieve full theoretical scores. If he uses those gray mysterious energies, he can improve his understanding and deepen his understanding of this knowledge. .
If I had the power of Book Gu to help me in my previous life on Earth, I might be able to become the top scientist on Earth in an instant and master all the knowledge of Earth from ancient times to the present.
Boom, boom, boom! !
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
"Huh?!"
Zhou Sui's consciousness swept away and he instantly sensed that the person outside the door was actually his neighbor, the alchemist Zhang Cheng, whom he had not seen for a long time.
And Zhang Cheng's situation is also very bad now. His hair is white, strange black lines appear on his skin, and his body exudes the smell of rotten wood, as if his life span is about to run out.
Whoosh!
Thinking of this, Zhou Sui flashed to the door of the courtyard and opened the door.
"Uncle Zhang, what on earth is going on with you?"
Zhou Sui was startled and looked at him.
Because he remembered that Zhang Cheng followed the Xianxia Sect to mine the red gold veins before, but he didn't expect that Zhang Cheng would become this virtuous after not seeing him for several months.
"Oh, nephew, this is my fault. A week ago, I was mining in red gold veins, and I accidentally encountered a black thread poisonous insect. As a result, I was poisoned. Now the black thread poison has invaded my meridians."
Zhang Cheng's mouth showed a bitter look as he recounted his experiences in the past few months.
He said that in the red gold veins, although there was no threat from other monks and the original second-level monsters had been killed, there were still some terrifying poisonous insect monsters hidden deep in the veins.
If the monks are not careful, they will also be attacked by these poisonous insects and monsters. The black thread poisonous insect is one of them.
They are good at hiding in the darkness, and they contain black lines of poison inside. Once they invade the monk's body, they will invade the meridians of the monk's body like gangrene attached to the bone.
At that time, the true energy in the monk's body will continue to deplete, and then it will be difficult to cure with medicine and stone, and he can only wait for death.
Even a few months before death, he will be corroded by the poison and suffer painful torture day and night.
"This!"
After hearing this, Zhou Sui had nothing to say. He originally thought that he would not encounter much trouble as a miner. At most, he might encounter erosion from the red gold energy.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Cheng was so unlucky and encountered a black thread poisonous insect.
Sure enough, my choice was correct.
Only a fool would choose to go mining with the people of Xianxia Sect. Wouldn't it be better to stay in a safe city and practice? !
After all, in the wild, any accident may happen.
How can you often walk by the river without getting your shoes wet?
"I wonder why Uncle Zhang came here this time?"
Zhou Sui vaguely guessed something, but still asked.
"I want to exchange some spiritual stones with you, nephew, to buy high-grade detoxifying pills. Only high-grade detoxifying pills can remove the black line poison from my body and allow me to survive." "Of course, I'm not asking you for free
. As a gift of spiritual stones, I just want to sell you this first-order high-grade alchemy cauldron that I have on me, hoping to get five thousand low-grade spiritual stones."
Zhang Cheng said straightforwardly.
After all, high-grade detoxifying pills are expensive and require at least 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones, which is equivalent to 100 mid-grade spiritual stones.
If you want to buy a first-grade top-grade detoxifying pill, for ordinary monks, it will cost you everything.
"Uncle Zhang, if that's the case, then you don't have the alchemy cauldron."
Zhou Sui was surprised.
He knew that the market price of a first-level high-grade alchemy cauldron requires at least eight thousand low-grade spiritual stones. Now it is only five thousand, which is already a 40% discount, which can be said to be a bargain.
But Zhang Cheng is an alchemist. After losing the alchemy cauldron, he loses his food.
This is like a taxi driver selling his taxi, obviously wanting to change his career.
"If I don't have it, I won't have it. I have been poisoned by this black line. Even if I use the top-grade detoxifying pills, my path will be ruined. I will basically be hopeless in this life." "After the toxins are eliminated from my body, I plan
to Return to the secular world, marry a few wives, and spread your business."
Zhang Cheng said helplessly, with a look of defeat on his face, and it was obvious that he had completely given up on foundation building.
Once a monk gives up building foundations and returns to the secular world, he can enjoy glory and wealth in the secular society, have more than ten rooms of concubines, give birth to a lot of fat boys, and spread his branches.
In fact, this is also the choice of many casual practitioners.
After reaching the age of forty or fifty, you basically know your destiny and know that you have no hope of building a foundation in this life.
In this case, there is no need for them to waste time and choose to return to the secular world and enjoy the happiness of family.
Originally, Zhang Cheng was also a very ambitious alchemist and believed that he had a good chance of building a foundation in the future.
But after this blow, he completely recognized the reality and planned to sell all his wealth, return to the secular life, and become a wealthy man safely.
