Chapter 612: First Alchemy
There were dozens of people in the yard, most of them were at the Galaxy and Star Domain stage.
After Lin Zhen came in, only a few people responded to Ge Yunjie's words. Most people still looked at Lin Zhen with inquiring and indifferent eyes.
Ge Yunjie was a little embarrassed: "What? Don't you know Lin Zhen? Everyone here is here to break through Tianmen this time. Everyone should know about Lin Zhen's competition with Ke Jianglong seven hundred years ago. In fact, Lin Zhen should have been the number one in the Black Hole Period at that time."
At this time, a voice interrupted and said, "A hero never talks about his past achievements. Ge Yunjie, you also said that was in the past. Now it is not seven hundred years ago."
"Huang Yong, what do you mean?" Ge Yunjie looked at the person who spoke. He was a thin man, but he looked very strong.
"The meaning is very simple. Since you are from the New Territories, you are welcome to join our New Territories Association. But don't mention the topic of being the first or not. That is all in the past. People always have to face reality."
“That’s quite right!”
Ge Yunjie was about to say something when he was interrupted by Lin Zhen.
Walking to the table, Lin Zhen automatically found a seat next to Ge Yunjie and sat down.
"Brother Huang Yong is right. The past is the past. I came here as an ordinary Galaxy Stage warrior. I never thought of claiming to be the number one. After all, that person is not me."
Ge Yunjie's face was not very good. He asked Lin Zhen to come over, but he didn't expect that these fellow New Territories people would not give him face, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Huang Yong had a smug look on his face. In his opinion, he had successfully given Lin Zhen a warning.
But Lin Zhen changed the subject: "Although the past has become history, the person is still the same person. I, Lin Zhen, had the ability to take the first place, and I will not be scared just because 700 years have passed. If anyone does not take me seriously and tries to provoke me, I will make him regret saying such a thing!"
Huang Yong's face changed. He thought Lin Zhen had fallen, so he mocked him, but he didn't expect Lin Zhen to be so arrogant.
Just as he was about to explode, the man in the main seat spoke.
"Alright, alright! We all came from the New World, and we are the most vulnerable group in this metaverse. Let's not argue with each other. Please give me, the president, some face, and let this matter pass."
The man who was speaking was at the peak of level nine in the star field. There were many such people in the metaverse. In fact, within each realm, the largest number was not level one, but often level nine.
Because as time goes by, everyone can cultivate to the ninth level without any accident. However, it is not so easy to advance to a higher level. Most warriors are stuck at the ninth level.
Huang Yong glanced at the man who was speaking, and sat down angrily, but he snorted coldly: "President, I admire you, but you'd better not protect this guy. This is the Metaverse, it's not the same as it used to be!"
No one seemed surprised by this statement. Even the president himself was not angry. Instead, he turned to Lin Zhen and said, "Lin Zhen, we all know you. You are a talented warrior. I believe you will not waste your time because of the seven hundred years of delay. The New Territories Association of Muwang Mansion welcomes your arrival."
At this time, Ge Yunjie was also beside him and said to Lin Zhen: "This is our president Xu Xingyao. He is the first New Realm warrior below the Realm King to come to the Wood King's Mansion. He also founded the New Realm Hometown Association. You have to know that those Realm King masters still have a place even in the Metaverse. Only people like us need to help each other to gain a firm foothold."
"Thank you, President Xu! Thank you for establishing the hometown association and providing a place for us newcomers." Lin Zhen saluted Xu Xingyao. Although this president looked a little cowardly and like a good old man, he deserved Lin Zhen's respect for being able to establish the hometown association.
"Haha, I don't have much ability, I just came a little earlier. When I came to Tianmen, I was already a ninth-level Domain King. Now, more than 900 years have passed, and I'm still a ninth-level Domain King. I'm not very promising. Whether the hometown association can be carried forward in the future still depends on you young people."
Warriors are very accurate in judging age by looking at bone age. This Xu Xingyao looks to be at least four thousand years old, so it is correct to call Lin Zhen and the others youngsters.
At this time, Ge Yunjie said: "President, you have devoted all your energy to the study of alchemy, which has delayed your practice. Otherwise, I believe you can be promoted to the realm king."
"Alas! If we don't study the Dao of Alchemy, our hometown association may not even have the money to survive in the Yuan Realm. I don't expect to become a Realm King. I am already over 4,900 years old this year, and the maximum life span of a Domain King is only 5,000 years. I just want to leave you some wealth before my death, so that the hometown association can continue, and then I can close my eyes."
Many warriors present were somewhat moved, and began to persuade the president, saying that he would be able to make a breakthrough at the last moment and successfully advance to the realm king.
Lin Zhen even saw some people's eyes were wet. It was obvious that the president was very popular.
The Domain King is over 4,900 years old. He is an old Domain King in his twilight years and may die at any time.
However, Lin Zhen still admired the president's character. As a newcomer, he specially toasted Xu Xingyao with a glass of wine.
After drinking two cups, Xu Xingyao got up and left.
"You young people, please continue. I have to go to the Temple of Eternal Life to worship tomorrow, so I won't go crazy with you."
Everyone stood up and saw Xu Xingyao off.
After sitting down, Ge Yunjie said to Lin Zhen, "Alas, for a good man like the president, I really hope that he can break through to the realm king and extend his lifespan for another 5,000 years. Unfortunately, his deadline is coming soon. It seems that he only has a few years left. It is too difficult to break through."
"The president is studying alchemy?"
"Yes, the president is also an alchemist. You don't know that he started practicing the method of making elixirs in the New World. He got some elixir recipes from the Metaverse from somewhere and started to study them in the New World. Although his realm did not improve in the Metaverse, his research on elixirs was very impressive. Now he is a peak fourth-grade alchemist."
"The peak of the fourth level?" Lin Zhen still didn't quite understand.
"You don't understand, there are seven grades of alchemists, from one to seven, the higher the grade, the more powerful they are. Let me tell you this, a Realm King is worthless in the Metaverse, but a fourth-grade alchemist is as valuable as a Realm King in the eyes of those big shots. If you advance to the fifth grade, then if you want to kill a Realm King, you just need to tell any big shot. Don't you think that's amazing?"
Lin Zhen nodded silently. It turned out that the value of an alchemist was so high. He had never realized it before.
"If you can become a sixth-grade alchemist, then it will be difficult for you to die. The value of a sixth-grade alchemist is comparable to that of a great god in the realm of immortality!"
Lin Zhen was even more shocked. If a sixth-grade cultivator could be comparable to the Immortal God, then what about a seventh-grade cultivator?
Ge Yunjie continued, "None of us have any special abilities. We all had great ambitions when we came to the Metaverse, but when we got here, we realized that we are just like ants. We can't even support ourselves, let alone have great ambitions. If it weren't for the president making money from alchemy, most of us would have to beg on the streets."
"You are the only good-for-nothing who would go begging. I will never have that day!"
At this time, Huang Yong passed by them and directly refuted Ge Yunjie.
Ge Yunjie frowned slightly, and when he wanted to move, Lin Zhen pulled him back.
Huang Yong saw that the two did not move, and snorted smugly, and said to Lin Zhen: "Boy, I still say the same thing, this is the New Territories, you are not the Lin Zhen of the past, you'd better keep your eyes open!"
After saying that, he swaggered away with a few of his brothers.
"Brother Ge, don't be impulsive. It's not worth it to be with this kind of person."
Ge Yunjie spat in the direction where Huang Yong left: "What a thing! If several Star Domain experts in the guild hadn't disappeared inexplicably before, would this guy have been able to take the position? Now he is the top expert below the president. He is too arrogant."
After hearing Ge Yunjie's words, Lin Zhen looked at Huang Yong's back, thoughtfully.
********** Under the dual stimulation of the spiritual spring of the empty mountain and the heart of the planet's plants, the medicinal herbs on the dark star grew rapidly.
Half a month later, the first batch of medicinal materials had matured.
Lin Zhen sowed some of the seeds again to form a virtuous cycle, and then picked some medicinal herbs and prepared to try to make the elixir.
In his hand he held a book called The Essentials of Alchemy.
This was purchased in the dimensional universe, it’s a popular product and only cost a few hundred dollars.
It was too expensive for Lin Zhen to afford. He only had one thousand yuan left out of the ten thousand yuan. If the pill didn't work, he might have to move out of the hotel and sleep on the streets.
Lin Zhen had read this book on alchemy almost to pieces in the past few days, and he had already memorized all its contents.
Lin Zhen took out a simple alchemy furnace, which he made himself using materials purchased online. It could be said to be the worst alchemy furnace in history.
However, Lin Zhen also has an advantage, which is his deep green flame, which is the most critical factor in alchemy.
Lin Zhen's flame is a flame that combines the dual power of the phoenix and the qilin, and it was obtained by continuous coincidences.
Even among the alchemists at the King of Realm level, there are very few who have firepower as strong as Lin Zhen.
"This is my first time refining Ju Yuan Powder. I hope it will be successful."
Lin Zhen prepared all the necessary herbs and then took out some other materials.
"Danshi powder is the basis for alchemy. I have very little of it here, only enough for two times of alchemy."
"Dan-condensing agent is also a basic substance, but it has slight side effects."
"These two things plus my medicine can be used to refine Ju Yuan Powder."
Lin Zhen had experience in refining equipment and had read a book on the essentials of alchemy. He felt that he was almost ready to try it, so he started immediately.
The alchemy furnace he made was set up, and Lin Zhen heated it first.
A ball of deep green flame was emitted and burned fiercely inside the alchemy furnace.
When the temperature in the furnace reached a certain level, Lin Zhen put the prepared medicine into it.
Increase the firepower!
Snap~!
Suddenly, a small crack appeared on the alchemy furnace, and then the fire spread along the crack. The metal alchemy furnace actually showed signs of melting!
Lin Zhen hurriedly retracted the flame and looked at the alchemy furnace he had modified again. It was completely scrapped.
His first attempt at refining the elixir was so unsuccessful that he had no idea whether the theory was successful or not, and it ended in failure.
