Chapter 32 Passing the Examination
After about a quarter of an hour, Zhou Mu found a bunch of alchemy herbs.
They were placed in front of the Alchemy Elders.
"There are five kinds, I don't think I've seen them!" Zhou Mu smelled it, and there were five kinds of smells that he didn't have, which meant that there was nothing he wanted in these medicine cabinets.
The alchemy elder looked at it the same at first, and seemed to be somewhat satisfied.
"It's true, it's just that the taste is similar, but you also took three medicinal materials, which is considered to be passed!" The alchemy elder said, the most important thing in alchemy is rigor.
Although Zhou Mu took it wrongly, he was still able to make up so much, which is okay, after all, not every novice can quickly master it.
"Next, there is another test!" The Alchemy Elder continued.
I saw that he took out a small golden Dan furnace, the size of a palm, but it was engraved with lines.
"Psychic consciousness into it!" The Alchemy Elder commanded.
Zhou Mu nodded, and then held the Xiao Dan furnace with both hands, and his spiritual sense entered it.
After a while, Zhou Mu was very surprised and looked up and asked.
"What is this?"
"That's right, there are ninety-nine small holes inside, waiting for you to urge the spiritual fire inside, and then divide into ninety-nine parts, enter it, but it must be at the same time, then you will succeed!" The alchemy elder said with a smile.
"It's kind of difficult." Zhou Mu looked at the golden little Dan furnace in front of him and already knew why.
This is the test of the mastery of spiritual consciousness and spiritual power.
"It's only half an hour." The alchemy elder said lightly, today is the day when the Alchemy Academy accepts apprentices, and he is not the only alchemy elder, but the seven alchemy elders are all dispatched at the same time.
However, there are still very few people, because more than ninety percent of the people who have passed the first level have been brushed off.
"Try it!" Zhou Mu ran the Taiqing Jue exercises, which calmed his heart.
The alchemy elder also saw Zhou Mu calm down all of a sudden, and couldn't help but praise.
"It's a pity that it's not the fire spirit root, but if the fire spirit root is used, most of them are short-tempered!"
It is not unreasonable for the alchemy elder to think like this, the spiritual roots of the five elements are all different according to the attributes of the five elements, which slightly affects people's personalities.
But the fire spirit root happens to be a good help for refining the elixir, after all, he is born close to the flames.
"It's really hard!" When Zhou Mugang divided his spiritual consciousness into more than seventy parts, it seemed that he was not under control, and his spiritual consciousness began to collapse.
Again!
"Eighty copies!"
"Ninety copies!"
"Ninety-nine copies!"
Zhou Mu only used a stick of incense in less than a moment, and he actually divided his spiritual sense into ninety-nine parts.
The alchemy elder on the side was also surprised, he could sense that Zhou Mu should not have exercised beforehand.
In fact, some immortal cultivators have their own alchemists, so they have carried out relevant exercises first, but these are not what the alchemy elders want, what they want are seedlings who can really refine the pill.
These have been exercised beforehand, and I can't see the feeling of superiority and inferiority.
"Here we go!" Zhou Mu's spiritual power urged, and ninety-nine spiritual senses entered the spiritual fire in the center of the Xiaodan furnace.
Then small portions of spiritual fires were constantly pulled out, and there were a total of ninety-nine spiritual fires.
Head to the small holes above the small incense burner.
"It's too urgent! Some of the spiritual fires didn't keep up. "The fires are gone.
"The balance is not right!" The spiritual fire is gone.
Zhou Mu didn't know how many times he had done it, and he gradually entered the state, as if there were only these spiritual fires in his eyes.
......
"Finally it worked!" A trace of excitement flashed in Zhou Mu's eyes, he didn't know how many times he had failed, but he finally turned the spiritual fire into ninety-nine parts at one time, and then entered the small hole separately.
"Congratulations, become an alchemy apprentice, just call me Elder Lin in the future, you follow me for the time being!" Elder Lin was quite satisfied with Zhou Mu, and the other party's control of spiritual power was considered to be a first-class control.
"Thank you, Elder Lin!" Zhou Mu breathed a sigh of relief, his first step had finally been reached, and next, he could always learn some knowledge of alchemy.
"That's your own effort, and you deserve it!" Elder Lin touched his beard and said with a smile.
"In the next period of time, what you may want to learn is that it may be to screen drugs, identify drugs, and the characteristics of various drugs, this alchemy foundation, you can take it first!" Elder Lin took out a book on alchemy.
"Understood!" Zhou Mu knows that this book may be sold everywhere, but a lot of things, even if you are given a book, but no one teaches it, then you are going blind.
Immediately, Elder Lin raised his hand so that Zhou Mu could retreat.
In the future, every day, just come to the Alchemy Institute to report once, after all, like an apprentice who has just learned, it is impossible to directly let him just come into contact with alchemy, and he just talks about theories every day.
But you have to do your own alchemy in private, and no one will stop you, as long as your financial resources can support you.
"Finally the first step!" The reason why Zhou Mu sacrificed his cultivation time to use it for alchemy was because he planned to refine the pill that could increase a person's lifespan.
And among the rewards of Journey to the West, there has been a reward of peach, which means that this will also appear in the future, but I feel that the probability of winning may be very low.
After leaving the Alchemy Academy, Zhou Mu planned to go to the Traders Chamber of Commerce in the Changzhi Capital and sell all the items of the evil way, after all, he really didn't need it, it was really a waste.
"Buy an alchemy furnace and some regular alchemy materials?" Zhou Mu thought about it.
Among the previous Journey to the West rewards, there was an alchemy furnace, but Zhou Mu was not very interested in this.
Zhou's Chamber of Commerce.
Zhou Mu sells goods, and he still plans to buy and sell in the chamber of commerce opened in his family, after all, there is one less pit.
"Hello and welcome."
A maid in a blue dress walked out, only in her twenties, but she had the cultivation of the Qi Refining Realm, but her appearance was very pleasing.
"I want to sell something, and I want to buy an alchemy furnace, I am from the Zhou clan, I should enjoy a discount!" After Zhou Mu finished speaking, he took out a token with the word Zhou and handed it to the other party.
"Okay, please wait a minute!" The maid in the blue dress smiled, and then took the token to verify the authenticity.
Not for a moment.
The maid in the blue dress returned.
"Well, it's confirmed, Gongzi Zhou, please come with me." The maid in the blue dress led the way.
In fact, the identity was indicated at the beginning, this is to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, each city chamber of commerce is different, but the essence is the same, they are all about making money.
Zhou Mu took out the evil elixir, magic weapon, and some exercises directly and spread them on the table.
"Zhou Gongzi, please wait!" The maid in the blue dress had already called an appraiser to come over.
Zhou Mu looked at the surrounding environment, compared to his own chamber of commerce, I don't know how much luxury, all kinds of decorations, all kinds of mortal treasures, are all on it.
"Gongzi Zhou, it's a new disciple of the Capital Academy!" The maid in the blue dress smiled, her eyes were a bit like crescent moons, and she looked very kind.
"Yes!" Zhou Mu nodded, this is not difficult to guess.
"Then I guess for a long time in the future, I may be coming here!" The maid in the blue dress knew that the children of the Zhou family chose their own chamber of commerce more and would not be cheated.
"Yes, then take care of it!" Zhou Mu said with a smile.
After a while, an appraiser in his fifties had already arrived, and his face was rather expressionless.
"If you've met Zhou Gongzi, just call me Wei Appraiser!" The attitude of the health appraiser is very ordinary, and he does not greet him with a smile because Zhou Mu is a child of the Zhou family.
Zhou Mu didn't mind.
The Wei appraiser began to inspect one by one, as if to teach the blue-dressed maid beside him to do a unique job, and generally slowly talked about the preciousness and inadequacy of this item.
The maid in the blue dress also listened attentively.
And Zhou Mu was a little bored, and began to pick up the foundation of alchemy and began to watch.
"That's right, there are so many elixirs, spirit grass!" Zhou Mu is also satisfied, generally this kind of book rarely circulates outside, only inside.
Even if there is one outside, it must be complete, and the things said are not necessarily the same.
"Done?" Zhou Mu asked, because the other party had stopped.
"Yes, Gongzi Zhou, I don't know what grade you want for the alchemy furnace, and what elixir you need." The maid in the blue dress asked.
"One low-grade spirit treasure level is enough, as for the elixir, ten copies of the Hui Qi Pill, and ten copies of the Little Return Pill, so much first!" Zhou Mu said.
At the beginning, it was the most basic line, and no matter how advanced it was, it is estimated that there will not be a success.
"Okay, after deducting these sales, it should be given to you, two thousand low-grade spirit crystals, Zhou Gongzi has no objection!" The maid in the blue dress actually erased some of the odds, which is very cheap.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you!" Zhou Mu said with a smile, he naturally knew the price, this was the family's chamber of commerce, and he was too lazy to bargain.
Soon, the maid in the blue dress prepared all the things Zhou Mu needed, as well as two thousand lower-grade spirit crystals.
After Zhou Mu packed up all his things, he left the Zhou Family Chamber of Commerce.
In the following days, Zhou Mu went to the Alchemy Academy every day, listening to Elder Lin's explanation, and along with them, there were thirteen disciples, seven of whom were in the realm of the foundation building realm.
Lu Bing is also among them, but every day, Zhou Mu and her just meet in Pingshui, from the first time they chatted, the rest of the time they just nodded, and they didn't talk anymore.
It was because Xu Shi knew that Zhou Mu and Lu Bing were both in the Alchemy Academy, and they were almost mad, because he chose the Alchemy Academy, which was a little far apart.
However, every day, Gongsun Bo came to visit the door, although he successfully entered the Fu Gong Courtyard, but every day he talked about the basics, and there was no actual operation.
Zhou Mu is the same, every day is the basic theory, but he listens very carefully, as for practice, there is no yet.
