Chapter 164: Old Man Fei's sad past
The top lid of the Dan furnace was swept open by a stream of air. Inside the Dan furnace, smoke and dust were billowing out, revealing a strong smell of elixir.
Jiang Chen's brows furrowed slightly, this pungent smell made Jiang Chen's heart sink.
Although he had never refined the Five Dragons Open Heaven Pill in his previous life, he also knew that if this Pill was cultivated, it would have the momentum of a dragon swallowing the world, and that kind of aura would definitely not be like this.
Sure enough, when this pill appeared, Jiang Chen couldn't cry or laugh. Looking at this black and autumn appearance, Jiang Chen knew that this pill was wasted.
Not to mention the finished product, even if it is a semi-finished product, this is not a finished product, and if it is thrown on the side of the road, I am afraid that no one will pick it up.
"Unsurprisingly, the first test failed. ”
Jiang Chen was not in a hurry to refine the second time, but sat cross-legged, adjusted the true qi in his body, and sorted out the entire process of alchemy.
Every detail, every step, if the movie is like walking through his head.
"Theoretically, every step of mine is not wrong, what is the problem?" Jiang Chen meditated, reviewing the first refining process, gains and losses.
However, he found that there was no flaw in the first refining!
"Could it be that there were some loopholes in my operation? Or is it not good enough to grasp the heat?"
Although Jiang Chen was a Dan Dao master in his previous life and was proficient in alchemy, he had not refined the Five Dragons Open Heaven Pill in his previous life, after all, he had no intuitive impression.
I couldn't find the exact reason for this.
After meditating for an hour, Jiang Chen returned to his peak state, and only then did he start refining for the second time, this time, he was more cautious.
Every step of the way, try to pursue perfection.
Then, when the results were revealed, Jiang Chen was disappointed again.
Just like the result of the first time, it is not even a semi-finished product, and it is completely practiced into a waste.
Third, fourth......
Every time, Jiang Chen felt that there was absolutely no mistake this time, but the final result was still the same scum as always.
"Hell, when did I Jiang Chen's past and present lives become so embarrassed?
Jiang Chen's competitive spirit was stimulated.
However, he knew that something must be wrong with this, and if he continued, if he didn't change his thinking, he would definitely not be optimistic.
He prepared ten materials this time. Four failures now equals six more chances, and each of these six chances will be one less.
"In terms of details, there should be no problems. Where did it appear? The Five Dragons Open Heaven Pill is not such a great elixir. In my ability, I shouldn't have fallen in the same place four times in a row. Something must have gone wrong with this. ”
Jiang Chen entered a meditative state again, and he decided to change his way of thinking and thinking.
"The five dragons open the heavens, draw qi like dragons, and open the world. The name of this Dan is majestic...... "Jiang Chen suddenly seemed to have caught a clue.
"Yes, the five dragons open the heavens, draw qi like dragons, open the heavens and the earth, what a heroic spirit this is. I seem to have departed from the true meaning of this Dan, and during the refining process, I have been cautious, afraid of failure, and I have completely lost the true meaning of this Dan. Draw a gourd in the same way, but draw a tiger and not become an anti-dog. ”
Jiang Chen's mind flashed, inspiration came one after another, and he immediately found the crux of the problem.
After all, he is the reincarnation of the Dan Dao master, and he can be described as a deep insight into alchemy. Once the crux of the problem is identified, the direction of the next step is clear.
Sure enough, it wasn't that there was anything wrong in the refining process, but that his thinking was wrong, and he didn't have the mentality of winning from the beginning.
Refining the Five Dragons Open Heaven Pill like this, it is strange if it does not fail.
Jiang Chen knew that the reason why he was like this was that he was still afraid of failure. Because without the assistance of the alchemy array, Jiang Chen was not 100% confident at the beginning.
This is a fatal problem for a Dan Master.
found the reason for the failure, Jiang Chen's adjustment ability is still very strong. If you are an ordinary Dan Master and fail four times in a row, there will definitely be problems in your mentality.
However, Jiang Chen's cultivation of "Heart of Rock" is so strong that it can be called a rock, and he will definitely not affect his emotions because of a few failures.
Sure enough, when the furnace was opened for the fifth time, this elixir was indeed formed. Although it is still a little short of the qualification of the next product, it can barely be regarded as a finished product.
"It seems that the direction is right. This fifth time, it was more or less affected by the mentality. The sixth time, I will definitely succeed!"
I have to say that Jiang Chen's self-confidence is something that other Dan masters can't learn at all.
The sixth time the furnace was opened, and sure enough, the results were better. This time, the Five Dragons Open Heaven Pill really reached the next grade qualification.
The seventh time, although it is still a lower grade, the quality and texture are much better than the one just now. If the one just now is just barely considered a lower grade, then at this moment, it is definitely the first-class in the lower grade.
Seeing the progress, Jiang Chen's motivation became more sufficient.
After meditating, the spirit and spirit were fully rested, and Jiang Chen once again impacted in a full state.
When the Dan furnace was opened for the eighth time, this time, I finally saw the mid-grade Wulong Kaitian Dan!
The medium-grade five dragons open the heavenly pill is enough to ensure the success rate of ninety out of five. In other words, a martial artist at the peak of the True Qi Realm, taking this pill, has a ninety-fifty hope that he can impact success.
This is almost equivalent to escorting the spiritual realm.
The sesame seeds are blooming high, Jiang Chen is full of energy, the ninth time, the tenth time, and even two times in a row, they have refined the top-grade Five Dragons Open Heaven Pill!
"It's a pity, if you give me five more materials, I'm at least eighty percent sure that I can refine the best Five Dragons Open Heaven Pill!"
Jiang Chen sighed regretfully.
However, it is already very good to have this harvest. Jiang Chen was not dissatisfied with anything. The best elixir is often hard to find.
Being able to get to this point, Jiang Chen should be said to be relatively satisfied. At such a thrilling beginning, if you were someone else, I am afraid that you would have been desperate for a long time.
Jiang Chen was able to turn the tide and reverse the unfavorable situation, and it was really not easy to refine four or five finished Five Dragon Open Heaven Pills without danger.
Ten times of refining, it seems that it is not a long time, in fact, in the next few times, almost every time it is refined, it will take a day, or even two days.
The refining process does not take so much, but more time is spent on meditation, resting, and restoring the state of essence and energy.
Jiang Chen walked out of the Danfang, absorbing the air from the outside world, feeling the afternoon sun, and feeling very comfortable.
Old man Fei came over: "There is less dust, are you out of the customs?"
"Old Fei, it's hard work this time. ”
Old man Fei's nose was sore, and he almost didn't shed tears. It's not easy, after guarding the gate for ten days, I finally got a positive evaluation.
After receiving Jiang Chen's reassurance, Old Man Fei felt that the past ten days had not been spent in vain.
"By the way, old Fei, there's something I think is very strange. It is also the four major dojos that belong to the Baoshu Sect, and I see that the other three dojos are all very high-profile. Qianlan Beigong is arrogant and domineering, and Qianlan Nangong also likes to show up in all kinds of ways, not to mention Duobao Dojo, there is no business in the country that they don't interfere with. Why do I think that you, Qingyang Valley, are so low-key that you are a little wilted. Look at you like this, you don't like to keep a low profile!"
Jiang Chen was just curious about this question.
Unexpectedly, this question asked Old Man Fei's sadness.
Sighing gloomily, Old Man Fei's obscene eyes revealed a trace of sadness for the first time.
"Alas, there is little dust, I didn't expect you to be young, but you are very perceptive. Yes, our Qingyang Valley is indeed very low-key. ”
"Don't tell me you're a natural low-key person. If you want to coax a three-year-old child like this, it's better not to use it to bluff me. ”
Old man Fei scratched his head and said with a smile: "Yes, who made me your servant." This matter, even if it is a disciple of Qingyang Valley, few people know about it. ”
"Oh?
"There's less dust, you can see it. In the Tiangui Kingdom, the more high-profile and capable of doing things, the higher the status and the higher the voice. I'm old Fei, it's not that I don't know how to do things, it's not that I don't know how to be high-profile, I really have unspeakable hardships. ”
"What's the problem?"
"There is little dust, I think I was old Fei back then, and I was also a disciple of the Baoshu Sect, and at that time, the younger generation was also in the limelight. It's a pity that the villain was killed. In a battle, he wounded the son of an elder of the Baoshu Sect. Since then, the steps have not been smooth, and in the end, he couldn't get along in the Baoshu Sect, and took the initiative to apply to open a dojo in the secular kingdom, which led to the Qingyang Valley. ”
"It's better to be a chicken's mouth than a cow's queen. You are bullying people in the Baoshu Sect, and you should be angry, and it is also a smart choice to come to this secular kingdom to be the boss of a party. ”
Old man Fei's eyes widened: "Dust, are you kidding? Do you know the identity of a disciple of the Dao Sect, what does it mean? Especially for me like this, if it weren't for that incident, with my qualifications, if I have been mixed for decades, I may be able to mix in the position of an elder, and no matter how bad it is, I can also be a reserve elder." But if you look at me now, even you have told me, an old and bad old man. Alas, this is life. If you lose in one step, you will lose in your life. ”
"Alas, you are young, and you can't understand the bitterness and desolation of a sect genius who has fallen into the world. ”
At this moment, the old man Fei actually changed his hippie smiling face in the past, and his two thin eyes were full of a throbbing sadness.
Although Jiang Chen is not a disciple of the sect, from his understanding of this worldly realm, the difference between a sect disciple and a secular martial artist is indeed very big.
From an outstanding disciple of the sect to being banished to the world, this kind of gap is the same as Jiang Chen's reincarnation from the son of the Emperor of Heaven to a small secular prince, it can be said that it is a flying stream of 3,000 feet.
However, Jiang Chen was luckier than Old Man Fei, because Jiang Chen couldn't cultivate in his previous life, and after being reincarnated, he was at least blessed by misfortune and had the qualifications to cultivate.
For a while, Jiang Chen felt a little sympathetic to this old man.
