Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Does this count as a master-disciple relationship?
Bailu teaches more than just sword-wielding.
Everyone was curious about the decoction he prepared at the Red Dust Test Site. It was said that the effect was similar to that of the Huanling Pill, but Bai Lu used local ingredients and made it into a decoction without starting the furnace.
"Actually, the principles are similar, except that alchemy is made using high temperature in a furnace, while I boil it." Bai Lu said that potions and alchemy are of the same origin and were developed by wizards and alchemists together.
Moreover, the ultimate goal of alchemy is to create the philosopher's stone that can bring immortality. The Eastern external alchemy method also aims to create elixirs that can allow people to ascend to heaven after eating.
He took out his own formula and a gem pendulum he made himself. The raw materials were given by Emperor Chaotian in the past and were as red as a pomegranate.
"In fact, I used a pendulum at the time, which is a bit like a compass and can detect energy. I used it to quickly identify the availability of materials and how much energy they have. This way I can roughly classify them first, and then sit down to mix them."
"oh--"
Liang Mangu took a look and said, "You should have said it earlier. I think this function can be added to the compass."
Someone immediately posted: "Junior Brother Liang, remember to be the first to tell me when you figure it out. I want to buy it."
Everyone also recreated the magic potion brewed at the Bailu competition on the spot.
To be honest, before the remake, no one had thought too much about it. In their minds, the pills were just too big and hard to swallow. Especially since Bai Lu often made cakes, even those who hadn't eaten them had heard of them.
But this pot in front of me...
The more it boiled, the more something seemed wrong. Everyone stared at the strange bubbling potion.
"Brother, don't you guys want to try it?" Bai Lu invited enthusiastically, "Don't those who study alchemy like to test medicine? I just added a new herb to it, you guys can try it and see if you can taste it."
Return product?
Ding Douhua felt a bit of a shadow in her heart as she walked away with weak steps: "No, I'll go and take it easy..."
I have to say that Master Xue Feng's disciples are much more perseverant than Ding Douhua. With an infinite thirst for knowledge, each of them filled a bowl and drank it, then savored it carefully.
It's okay if you don't feel it too carefully, the more you feel it, the more it feels like snot.
Regret tasting it carefully.
As expected... Bai Lu said he got the inspiration from Huanling Pill, and the effect is indeed very similar, but this form...
"Junior Brother Bai is really talented... Ugh, great results."
"It's good... Ugh, but I still like to make pills... Ugh..."
"Hey, aren't you going to drink it? Do you want to take some home?" Bai Lu saw that there was still a big pot, so she thought to herself not to waste it.
The senior brothers and sisters of Tianxuan Peak looked at each other and said in unison: "Bring it!!"
"There are many fellow disciples in our peak who have never drunk this. Knowing that this is the decoction that Junior Brother Bai used in the competition, they must be eager to try it... hehe."
Everyone is very enthusiastic, much better than Ding Douhua and the others, Bai Lu thought.
"Okay, take them all away, and leave one bowl for us Qiusuo." Bai Lu brought a bowl to Qiusuo.
Liang Mangu looked at Qiusuo with sympathy. Look, before he became a spirit, he didn’t have to eat anything. Now that he has become a spirit, this is what he is treated like…
Qiusuo drank the potion in one gulp, and used a branch to sweep the potion hanging on the wall into his mouth, then said calmly, "I've finished it."
Meng Caiqing and the others looked at each other for a few seconds, their eyes full of suspicion: Is Qiusuo still harboring puppet habits? What is this called, blind loyalty?
…
Bai Lu didn't know what happened to the people from Tianxuan Peak after they returned, so he went back to Meifeng on his own. He had a lot of things to do, for example, he had to clean up and try to make his staff today. Now happened to be the autumnal equinox, a very stable period.
Pei Zhaoting had given Bai Lu a piece of Sophora japonica before. He had studied for a long time how to make a staff that suited him and the properties of the wood. He had to write the spell himself so it took a long time to prepare. After all, Sophora japonica was powerful and it was not any other wood he had known before.
Bai Lu was still a little unsure at first, but during the trip to the Qingdi Secret Realm, he gained some insights into the earth's networks and even became a foreign member of the Wood Clan. This greatly increased his confidence.
Chao Tianzi was watching boredly from the side, watching Bai Lu burning sage to purify the alchemy room. Seeing this, he thought Bai Lu was going to make a new broom and had no reaction.
Bailu arranged the altar, first muttered thanks to the trees, then used the prepared potion to boil the ingredients for the staff, while chanting the spell: Luna in argento, Mercurius in circulo...
After processing the raw materials, several grooves need to be opened on them, which are reserved for the placement of gemstones. In addition, because the cousin of the Wood Clan gave Bai Lu many seeds of exotic flowers and plants, he also planned to leave space on the staff, not only for decoration but also for enchantment.
"Okay, the first step is done. We'll continue tomorrow night." Bai Lu stood up and said tiredly. This ritual is divided into two steps. The first step of the ritual will last for a total of seven nights. The second step is to wait for a time when the sun and the moon are in a perfect fusion phase. This requires a wizard to wait and capture it. Sometimes the wait is fleeting.
Chao Tianzi was so nervous that he almost didn't want to leave the alchemy room, but not because of what he thought was the broom handle, but mainly because Bai Lu also put the gem here: "Just put it here? Will there be any accidents?"
"We need to keep it here and keep it close... It's okay, I'll put the snow golem here to guard it later, and I've put a curse on it." Bai Lu's mental strength was drained out, and she returned to Shu Chunyuan listlessly.
Bai Lu went back and fell asleep immediately. She slept for at least ten hours before waking up. In fact, Huo Xuexiang came to see her when she had slept for eight hours. Now Qiusuo no longer served as an alarm clock.
But the master is much more humane than Qiusuo. Artificial means artificial, and very intelligent. Noticing Bai Lu's tired state, Huo Xuexiang just gathered his quilt and left.
After sleeping for another two hours, I didn't wake up naturally, but was woken up by some noisy noise.
Bai Lu leaned over the window and saw that there were several peak masters and elders in the courtyard, but Peak Master Xue was the loudest among them: "Do you know what the situation is like in Tianxuan Peak now--"
“Then do you know that I have scraped off a layer of the soil in Kaiyang Peak?” The elder of Kaiyang Peak said calmly.
Chao Tianzi held the broom and shouted even louder: "You! All! Stop arguing! You were just praising me! How did you get off topic!"
Hahahaha, he has been in Xuanshan for so many years, and many people here grew up under his care.
These people are just ignorant. Every time they see him praising the spirit weapon that shocked the world, they would start quarreling soon after.
Huo Xuexiang suddenly turned around, locked onto Bai Lu who was peeking through the window, and called out, "Come out."
Bai Lu used magic to tidy himself up with one click, and went out yawning. He remembered that his master seemed to have said that these seniors applied to borrow his Qingdi Jue for research.
It just so happened that he wanted someone to help him see if it could be repaired, so they hit it off right away.
Before he even walked into the yard, Bai Lu felt Xue Danxing's resentful gaze fixed on him, which made him unable to help but walk to Huo Xuexiang. He took the warm water that Chao Tianzi handed to him attentively and took a few sips. While drinking, he secretly glanced at Xue Fengzhu through Huo Xuexiang's cover.
Xue Danxing is going crazy!!!
He had planned well, to teach Bai Lu a few moves, to let him learn his skills, so that the master-disciple relationship would be a fait accompli. But when he returned to Tianxuan Peak, oh my god, Bai Lu had taught them a few moves first -
What is this?!
Boluan Immortal Lord was also puzzled and said, "In the past two days, people in Xuanshan have been sliding... Some people slide and shovel, and shovel hard enough to shovel my Caiqing disciple out of the ground. This is really not good."
Everyone: “…”
How miserable! Bai Lu felt sorry for Cai Qing being shoveled off the field, and she was probably working like a slave.
Everyone was silent for a while, and then looked at Bai Lu silently, wondering who started this trend. In fact, every time the Red Dust Trial was held, some new trends would be set off, but no one expected that this time...
Bai Lu looked back innocently and asked openly, "You guys want to learn too?"
It's so natural and sincere that one is speechless.
Of course, it might be mainly because Huo Xuexiang was still staring at him. Even if he didn't say a word, he was very oppressive. You said that they were all family members, so why did they still hold swords when chatting...
Xue Danxing moved his mouth a few times and sneered, "You don't want to learn anymore. If you continue to learn, I will become your apprentice."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the elders who knew Xue Danxing's plan could not help but lower their heads to hide their smiles.
"Come to think of it, was Bai Lu refining the elixir? There are traces on his hands." Liang Mangu's master Xu Zuichan changed the subject, looking at Bai Lu's hands and said, anything that touches water or fire will always leave traces.
Xiang Huo Xue remained tight-lipped, causing Xuanshan's disciples to not understand much, but the peak masters could always tell that many of Bai Lu's things were definitely not taught by Xiang Huo Xue.
In the past, people would not have thought so much about it, and since Bai Lu was mostly on Meifeng Mountain, now if you pay close attention, you will naturally notice that Bai Lu seems to have just "refined the elixir".
"I'm not making an elixir, I'm making a magic weapon." Bai Lu explained.
This sentence attracted many strange looks, and Xu Zuichan's heart skipped a beat. Previously, he had looked at Master Xue and Chongming with red eyes. Could it be his turn now? How many art apprentices did Bai Lu bring with him?
Bai Lu explained her past to everyone, especially to Huo Xuexiang: "When I made magic tools, I used alchemy to refine materials. Alchemy is a traditional skill in my hometown. It is similar to the alchemy furnace and refining tools."
"Alchemy? That's what you studied under in the past, right? How is it different from ours? What's the essence of it?" The atmosphere in Xuanshan has always been open. Besides, Immortal Lord Boluan was also curious about what Bai Lu had learned in the past. It seemed that he was different from Huo Xue, who specialized in swordsmanship, and it seemed that he had learned the best of many schools.
In fact, there are also academic disputes in the world of immortal cultivation, from the differences between inner and outer alchemy to the differences between orthodox cultivation and demonic cultivation. They wanted to understand what this theory that Bai Lu had never heard of was about.
How can alchemy be explained simply?
Bai Lu thought for a while and said, "Some people say that nature is the best alchemist. I think it can be said that the essence of alchemy is to master the laws of nature." In fact, the same is true for wizards.
"I think this is very similar to the Dao of Alchemy, relying on one object to gain the power of the upper and lower." Xue Danxing only heard one sentence and said sharply. The so-called upper and lower refers to heaven and earth.
Bai Lu nodded vigorously. Master Xue Feng was indeed an old man. He actually felt the connection between the two, but it was difficult for him to summarize it accurately in Chinese like Xue Danxing.
"Someone condensed the knowledge of alchemy into thirteen sentences and engraved them on the Emerald Tablet, so everyone called these words the Emerald Record. This can be said to be the code of conduct for alchemists."
Bai Lu said: "For example, there is a sentence called 'Truth is not false, never lie, and will inevitably bring truth', which is talking about inner awakening. There are also many contents related to astrology, 'The sun is the father, the moon is the mother...'"
This is very similar to the East, where the world of immortal cultivation also practices by observing the stars.
“When I was young, I didn’t know why, but later I realized that everything is related to the communication between myself and the universe.”
The more I learn, the more I feel like everything is one. Perhaps no matter in which world we are, we are all exploring the same path?
"It's really rare for someone of your age." Xue Danxing said this with resentment again. No matter where Bai Lu is, she is a genius.
"Is this also related to the physical technique you used to refine the cage to eliminate the thunder?" Huo Xuexiang said after hearing this. He also had a deep memory of this.
Bai Lu nodded: "Alchemy gave rise to chemistry, physics and other disciplines. They are indeed inseparable."
"A cage to dispel the thunder? What kind of method is this?" Xu Zuichan caught the key words, dispel the thunder? He has been refining instruments for many years, let alone the foundation building stage, even the thunder listening stage may not be able to refine such a magical instrument.
Xue Danxing also exclaimed: "Really? What cage is that? Let me see it."
He seemed a little unconvinced, and with his hands behind his back, he let Bai Lu explain in detail.
Instead of explaining in detail, it is better to do the experiment directly. Bai Lu took out three Faraday cages. At first glance, they did not have any spiritual power and were just ordinary metal cages.
"Doesn't Bo Luan also know thunder magic? Why don't you give it a try?" Xue Danxing pointed, "Who's going into the cage?"
Except for Bai Lu, everyone here is above the Thunder Listening Realm. He took the lead and said, "Then I am the only one who can go in. I am at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Since I have received the Huanyuan Pill, I must assume the obligations of a Foundation Establishment Realm disciple."
Everyone: ? ? You sound quite righteous.
I wouldn't have remembered if you hadn't told me. It was said that the first thing you did when you returned to the mountain was to get the Huanyuan Pill. This is another strange thing that makes me want to scratch my head.
Bai Lu crawled into the Faraday cage, and Immortal Lord Boluan used thunder magic. He was more cautious, and seeing that there was no trace of magic power in the cage, he only released a palm thunder.
It was just a little bit of lightning, and it disappeared instantly when it touched the cage.
"Interesting." Immortal Lord Boluan increased the power and released five thunderbolts in succession, "Wind, cloud, thunder and rain, obey my command!"
Purple-gold lightning flashed and struck the Faraday cage, but was instantly swallowed up as before, and disappeared along the cage!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Bai Lu sat in the cage without using any strength at all.
"This, this..." Xue Danxing had been practicing for so long, but he had never seen such a strange and weird martial art. "What on earth is this!"
"Physics and alchemy have a deep connection. Its essence is to study natural science and the basic laws of all matter. These laws are so basic that they can be realized without any interference from magical powers. Like this cage, if a mortal blacksmith can make it, they can also avoid the thunder." Bai Lu explained.
After these words were spoken, the elders were even more shocked.
Can mortals avoid thunder? This is a skill only available to those at the Thunder Listening Realm!
Xue Danxing screamed: "If this continues, who will be afraid of listening to thunder? The name of the Listening to Thunder Realm can be changed to Sitting in a Cage Realm! Doesn't that mean there is no need to forge the body? Without the power of hard training, what kind of evil cultivation is this!!"
"I don't think it's an evil cultivator." As a weapon cultivator, Xu Zuichan thought more and spoke in a vague tone, greatly shocked. "But this is indeed worth studying. Uncle Xue said an evil cultivator, so don't you want to make one?"
Not to mention that it can be used to help disciples reach a higher level, the fact that it can just destroy the opponent's thunder magic is very practical.
So Xue Danxing remained silent for a while and couldn't say the words "I don't want it".
Bai Lu blinked. In modern times, science has achieved many things that magic cannot do. As a wizard, Bai Lu still has to embrace new technologies. His Chinese parents insist on letting him attend extracurricular tutoring classes.
In the final analysis, science, magic, and immortality are all in pursuit of the laws of the universe, and through this they will all gain extraordinary abilities. All things are one, and we all reach the same destination through different paths.
but……
"Senior, do you want to make your own products?" Bai Lu's eyes flickered, and she said with a little worry, "But I have decided to start a business with Junior Brother Liang, and sell it exclusively to senior brothers and sisters. We don't charge expensively, and we just make a processing fee..."
They also set up stalls everywhere.
Everyone has heard about Bai Lu and his friends' heroic deeds in the world of mortals, but they never thought that they would be the ones to take on business.
Without waiting for the other elders to speak, Xu Zuichan was the first to nod and said, "This is as it should be. I think we should not steal the business from the younger generation. Bailu, I'll reserve one first and then play with it properly."
Others: Of course you have no objection, everyone knows that Liang Mangu is your apprentice! !
Before they could give their opinions, Huo Xuexiang next to them had already instructed: "Don't take too many spirit stones from the elders."
Bai Lu: "Oh, I understand, Master!"
Everyone: “…………”
It was decided so shamelessly!
…
At the end of the day, Xue Danxing walked out of Shuchun Garden in a trance. He suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have studied anything about the Qingdi Jue today. He just listened to Bai Lu talking about physics and the principles of Faraday cage.
Chongming Yuanjun sighed softly beside him, and said with a worried look on his face: "Uncle Master, can we be considered as a master-disciple relationship now?"
Xue Danxing: “…”
...He is our master and our apprentice?!
