Not to mention how the bloodthirsty demon sword suppressed the abnormal movement of the blood stone, Zhou Baopu was in a good mood when he was in the alchemy room and saw the alchemy furnace in front of him. The raging fire burning under the alchemy furnace popped out directly from the ground. There was a hole on the floor, and the alchemy furnace sat on it for who knows how many years.
Zhou Baopu thought about it and opened the lid of the alchemy furnace. When he thought about it again, he discovered that the fire intensity of the earth fire could change according to his thoughts, sometimes weak, sometimes fierce, sometimes docile, sometimes rampant.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Baopu couldn't help but feel happy.
But then Zhou Baopu calmed down from this excitement. What he wanted to learn was refining elixirs. If Hua Changqing wanted to assess him, he would definitely be assessed based on his actual work, and it was impossible for him to be as good as he is now. All your wishes come true. Zhou Baopu thought of this and immediately thought of how to deal with it.
Although he couldn't use blood mustard to take advantage, Zhou Baopu could definitely make his alchemy process go smoother.
Hua Changqing had already said when Zhou Baopu left that aside from today, Zhou Baopu would still have three days to refine the Yicai elixir. Although it seems to be as difficult as climbing to the sky, in Zhou Baopu's opinion, it is not impossible to complete. Now with the help of blood mustard, his chance of success is undoubtedly much greater.
Before officially refining the elixir, Zhou Baopu first carefully read the "Introduction to Alchemy" that Hua Changqing gave him. When he really read it, Zhou Baopu finally discovered why Yao Qian envied him so much, because although this It is an ordinary "Introduction to Alchemy", but the things involved in it are not comparable to the ordinary "Introduction to Alchemy".
The thin book "Introduction to Alchemy" not only includes the basic knowledge of alchemy such as identifying medicines, herbal medicines, and refining medicines, but also records a lot of experience in the blank space next to the text. Zhou Baopu glanced at ten lines, and after reading further, he discovered that all the experience and advice here actually came from the previous pavilion masters of Jiucai Pavilion.
Zhou Baopu thought about it and looked through it carefully, and sure enough he found Hua Changqing's annotation in it.
When Zhou Baopu reads a book, he has a habit of reading the preface first, then the follow-up, and then the main text. "Introduction to Alchemy" does not have a preface, only the main text and appendices. Zhou Baopu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the records in the attachment. What was recorded in it was the time each of the Nine Color Pavilion masters studied the "Introduction to Alchemy" and the achievements they could achieve after studying this.
Just don't read it. After reading it, Zhou Baopu's heart felt cold. Even the master of Jiucai Pavilion, there was no one who could complete the refining of Yicai elixir within three days. Seeing this, Zhou Baopu's face turned dark. He knew that Hua Changqing, who had read this book, must know this, but he still made such a request to him without hesitation.
Zhou Baopu was a little confused now. Could it be that Hua Changqing really didn't want to accept him as his apprentice?
However, Zhou Baopu is also a smart person. He knows that thinking about those things now is just asking for trouble. Instead of disturbing his mind, it is better to learn alchemy skills quickly, so as not to be unable to even distinguish medicines after three days. That is really true. It's embarrassing.
Zhou Baopu thought again that the ultimate purpose of learning alchemy was not to worship Hua Changqing as his teacher, but to revive Yao Ruoxi, so Zhou Baopu became more determined.
Zhou Baopu opened the book and studied it carefully to see how fast he was.
Once you embark on the journey of blood refining, your hearing, vision, understanding and reading speed will increase exponentially. However, even if you recite this "Introduction to Alchemy" by heart, but do not have any experience, you will not be able to solve the problem by talking on paper. question.
What Zhou Baopu wants is to improve his abilities in actual operations, not to enrich his knowledge in theory.
When he thought of this, Zhou Baopu became even more anxious. The reason why the method of alchemy relies on rich accumulation is because it is too manipulative. Therefore, even if some people are talented and intelligent, they understand the method of alchemy very well. It's sufficient, but if you don't have strong hands-on ability, it's useless.
However, when Zhou Baopu pulled out a flicker of consciousness and reached towards the book, he was suddenly startled, and then a flower-like smile bloomed on his face.
Zhou Baopu smiled, and he smiled happily. He had no reason not to smile. He laughed naturally and with reason.
It turned out that after reading and understanding the main text, when Zhou Baopu's consciousness entered the annotations next to it, he suddenly discovered that he seemed to have become the master of Jiucai Pavilion who wrote down the annotations. The deviations and errors in the annotations, Even the final correction method was deeply imprinted in his mind.
This may not be very appropriate, because the annotations not only allowed Zhou Baopu to deeply remember those experiences, but also gave Zhou Baopu a sense of personal experience, as if he had experienced those mistakes himself, peeking into the annotations in his consciousness When reading the content, he seemed to have completed a time travel and transformed into the annotator himself, experiencing the joys and sorrows he experienced when he just studied "Introduction to Alchemy".
Zhou Baopu was overjoyed. Although he didn't know why, it was so effective. Of course he couldn't help it, so he laughed.
Zhou Baopu didn't know that just when he mobilized his consciousness to read the annotation, the one hundred and eight talisman roots in his body were already deeply integrated with his body and would not appear at all until the critical moment, but at this moment they Rays of light were emitted, and one hundred and eight rays of light formed a network structure.
One hundred and eight rays of light intertwined with each other, constantly exuding nameless power. They flowed directly along Zhou Baopu's arm towards the "Introduction to Alchemy" and covered the annotations. Whenever the annotations were After the picture was illuminated, a dim light shone. Zhou Baopu studied "Introduction to Alchemy" wholeheartedly, but he did not notice this.
The talisman root seemed to be a bottomless pit, always emitting light. At the same time, each formation diagram was formed in Zhou Baopu's body. Along Zhou Baopu's hand, it directly entered the "Introduction to Alchemy" in his hand, and entered every comment. , paving the way for Zhou Baopu’s rapid understanding.
Zhou Baopu was in a happy mood, and his speed was naturally not slow. When he raised his head, the early morning sun was already shining in through the east window. When he recalled the achievements of the night, he couldn't help but smile. Now Zhou Baopu was in high spirits, and there was no trace of his heart. Feeling down and out?
