Chapter 42: Digging for Treasures in the Ruins



Since the matter of Ninghua North Garden, Chen Sheng's life as the steward of the medicine house became very leisurely, and he devoted all his energy to cultivation.

"Come on, I'll take you to Changyue Palace for a stroll."

Xi Fu did not forget to pave the way for Chen Sheng. After finishing refining the elixir today, he asked Chen Sheng to follow him to Changyue Palace.

Changyue Palace is one of the twelve palaces in Yaolu. Its general layout is the same as that of Chenguang Palace.

As a steward of the medicine house, Chen Sheng was assigned to the Chenguang Palace. He was unfamiliar with the remaining eleven palaces and did not have those connections.

This is not the case with Xifu.

He has been in the medicine house for decades and is a well-known alchemist. He is very popular in the entire medicine house and can be said to know everyone.

"Then I'll trouble you, Master Xidan."

Chen Sheng walked out swiftly. The more he practiced the Eight Methods of Controlling Fire, the more he felt the exquisiteness of this method. It was indeed an ancient method of controlling fire.

Xi Fu said that other alchemists in the medicine house also have their own specialties.

If he could learn these, he would surely be able to make smooth progress on the path of becoming an alchemist.

One of them was a deacon and the other was an alchemist. They had a smooth journey when walking in the medicine house.

After passing through several palace gates and walking around the corridor, they came to a tall and majestic palace. The three words "Changyue Palace" were written on the front of the door, exuding the heritage of time.

Xi Fu was very familiar with this place. In a few steps, he climbed up the stairs and ran directly to the alchemy room.

Chen Sheng saw that in the alchemy room, there was a ten-foot-high alchemy furnace, which was burning fiercely and emitting red flames.

However, this alchemy furnace was not used to make elixirs. It was just burning fire, illuminating the figure of an old man.

The old man's demeanor was the same as Shifu's, elegant and gentle.

This is probably the aura of an alchemist.

He looked at a clay pill in his hand by the fire, his eyes sparkling as if he was looking at some rare treasure.

"Fiddling with your broken pill again."

Xi Fu was undoubtedly very familiar with this alchemist and knew what the other was doing.

Identify the elixir.

It's the kind of elixir that should be scrapped.

After all, the process of alchemy is not always smooth sailing, and even experienced alchemists can make mistakes sometimes.

"Old Xi."

Master Ding turned around and began to lecture Xi Fu, saying, "Throughout the ages, there have been many new elixir recipes that were created from discarded elixirs. You are just too rigorous in refining elixirs. It's meaningless."

Waste pills are also divided into different grades.

Some waste pills are valuable, just like there are treasures hidden in the ruins, which can be extracted with skillful means.

For example, the waste pill in his hand is not completely useless, but has some shining points.

"If I studied pharmacology like you, I would definitely steal the limelight from you."

In terms of pharmacology, Xifu admitted that Lao Ding's level was higher than his, and this was partly due to his personality.

He is too stable and lacks innovation.

Lao Ding’s way of making elixirs is a bit unconventional. Sometimes he can produce excellent products, but sometimes he loses all his money.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s good or not, it just depends on the alchemist’s feeling. If he thinks it’s good, then everything is good.

"It's still unclear who will steal the spotlight."

Master Ding Dan cursed with a smile, then looked at the young man behind Xi Fu. He felt that he was familiar with him, and then said, "This is... Deacon Chen..."

Not everyone may know the twelve halls of Yaolu.

However, Chen Sheng suppressed Luo Jiaoyuan with great force and succeeded. Then the third master of the Law Enforcement Hall came to visit and caused a big commotion, which really made many people recognize him.

"I have met Master Ding Dan."

"Brother Chen is interested in alchemy. I think he has great potential and can be tapped. Your level of pharmacology is so good. You should help the younger generation."

Xi Fu chatted with him from the side, and although he didn't say it explicitly, he had already revealed that he thought highly of Mr. Chen.

The two have been friends for many years. Since he values ​​​​him so much, Master Ding Dan cannot treat him normally no matter what.

"Potential? It's not like I haven't read his file."

Master Ding understood but was a little confused. Mr. Chen had average talent, so it would be extremely difficult for him to become an alchemist.

If you want to achieve something, you must have a famous teacher to guide you. However, famous teachers are looking for talented disciples, and it is too much effort to carve such rotten wood.

"Do you know about Ninghua Beiyuan?"

Xi Fu was a reasonable man. He believed that Master Ding Dan was a reasonable person like him, so he brought up the old story.

"I heard a little bit, and according to the report from my subordinates, there was an audacious independent cultivator who drove the monster beast to plunder the spiritual herbs in the garden. Fortunately, he was discovered and killed, so there was no chaos."

As someone in the circle, Master Ding Dan had naturally heard about the Guangxiu Immortal Sect's spiritual herbs being looted.

After listening to it, he could only sigh that this thief was so bold and really didn't know whether he lived or died.

"That person is Brother Chen. He has excellent character."

Xi Fu filled in the details for Master Ding Dan, which he had also verified. Mr. Chen lived up to his original intention and was truly free and easy.

He didn't want such a person to waste his youth, so it would be better for him to take off as soon as possible.

"Yes, I can teach you the principles of alchemy."

Master Ding Dan took Xi Fu's consideration into consideration, and saw that Chen Sheng was indeed a man with a clear mind in Taoism and was upright, so he admired such people very much.

"In the world of cultivation, morality is still useful."

Mr. Chen had some insights. There were many intrigues and deceptions in the world of cultivation, but that did not mean there was no room for good people.

There are always some old people who are willing to be boats to ferry the younger generation.

Master Ding Dan's teaching method is unusual.

He had a small treasure house in his alchemy room. It did not contain rare treasures or elixirs, but rather neatly arranged waste pills.

Under each waste pill, there is a piece of gold paper with the pill's name, recipe, reason for failure, remaining medicinal power, and some mysterious effects written on it.

"This is a waste Qi Condensation Pill. It also has instructions. Go take a look first. If you don't understand, come back to me."

Master Ding gave Chen Sheng a discarded pill that he had treasured, along with the mark he had painstakingly made on it.

This is his treasure, that little treasure house, which contains the results of his life. If he learns it thoroughly, he will be able to become a high-level alchemist.

Even he could only learn them one by one, and was unable to truly apply what he had learned and gain a thorough understanding.

"The road has been paved for you, and the rest is up to you to walk on."

During this process, Xi Fu said nothing. Each alchemist is independent and has his own style of doing things.

Old Ding undoubtedly gave the most precious thing to Mr. Chen.

Even so, he knew that it would be very difficult for Chen Sheng to control this treasure house because of the gap in qualifications, which would take a lot of time to make up for.

But since you have chosen this path, you cannot be afraid of difficulties or make excuses, but you must be wholeheartedly and move forward courageously.

"I'll eat it up as fast as I can."

When Mr. Chen saw the densely packed annotations, which were clearly organized and linked one after another, he couldn't help but feel more confident.

only……

He quickly understood the charm of Dandao.
