Elder Mo Xuan stood at the door, scratched his head, suddenly turned around, showed an expression that almost forgot about business, and laughed.
"Oh, brat, when you said that, I really remembered that there was something I wanted you to do."
Jiang Donghua As soon as I heard this, my heart skipped a beat, and I subconsciously wanted to run away.
"Master, you don't want me to be an examiner, do you? I'm busy practicing recently, I'm afraid I don't have time..."
As he spoke, he quietly took half a step back, ready to use his body skills to run away at any time.
Elder Mo Xuan's eyes widened, his beard curled up, and he cursed angrily.
"Fart! Who asked you to be an examiner? With your lazy temper, if I ask you to invigilate the exam, I'm afraid you won't just fall asleep!"
Jiang Donghua He breathed a sigh of relief, but then he became vigilant. This old man smiled so brightly, something must be up to him!
Sure enough, Elder Mo Xuan rubbed his hands and said with a smile.
"Being a teacher means that you can make a first-class elixir recipe."
"What?!"
Jiang Donghua almost jumped.
"Master, are you kidding?"
A first-grade elixir recipe is the core content of the alchemist's assessment!
Generally speaking, the elixir recipes are formulated by the academy elders or senior alchemists to ensure that the difficulty is moderate, which can test the students' basic skills without being too difficult.
Can a student be allowed to formulate a prescription?
This is an unprecedented first time!
Elder Mo Xuan Seeing his appearance, he stroked his beard proudly and said slowly.
"What? Are you afraid? I asked you to ask the question, but you got scared?"
Jiang Donghua twitched the corner of his mouth, the old man was clearly irritating him!
Jiang Donghua looked at Master Elder Mo Xuan's cheerful expression, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
Sure enough, before he could refuse, Elder Mo Xuan happily took out a stack of yellowed parchment from Storage Ring, slapped it on the table, and said with a smile.
"Come on, come on, since you are so cheerful, I can't treat you badly as a teacher. There are more than ten prescriptions for you. Just write ten or eight prescriptions for each prescription!"
"Ten and eight?!"
Jiang Donghua almost jumped up.
"Master, didn't you say it's just one portion?!"
Elder Mo Xuan stroked his beard with a natural look on his face.
"Yes, if it is divided into the hands of our ten elders Alchemy Department, it's just one share for each person!"
Jiang Donghua The corners of his mouth twitched, this old man was clearly cheating!
"Master, you are exploiting your disciples!"
He said with a grimace.
Elder Mo Xuan chuckled and patted his shoulder.
"He who can do it should work harder! Besides, you are the most proud disciple of my master. You can get dozens or even hundreds of first-grade elixir recipes at your fingertips, right?"
Jiang Donghua sighed helplessly, knowing that he could not escape today, so he could only accept his fate and picked up a blank scroll, dipped his pen in ink, and began to think.
"The first-grade elixir recipe must not only test the basic skills, but also not be too tricky."
While muttering, he wrote the first recipe Wind-Walking Pill on the paper.
"Wind-Walking Pill, main materials: Wind Spirit Grass, Light Spirit Flower, First-tier Wind Element Demonic Core..."
"Key points for refining: wind-attribute medicinal materials are easy to volatilize and need to be refined at low temperature and slow fire. Finally, Condensing Wind Technique is used to make the elixir."
After writing a piece of paper, Jiang Donghua rubbed his temples and felt that his head was a little big.
"One piece is enough trouble, but ten more?!"
Jiang Donghua rubbed his swollen temples, looked at the many blank elixir scrolls spread out on the table, and took a deep breath.
"Master, this old fox, really doesn't care about his disciples at all."
He smiled bitterly, condensed a ray of light cyan Soul Power on his fingertips, and slowly poured it into the tip of his pen.
In Lian Medicine Realm, making elixir recipes is by no means a simple written record.
The real elixir recipe must be imprinted on the scroll by an alchemist using Soul Power as ink and a pen as a guide. Every detail of refining the elixir, including the ratio of medicinal materials, control of fire, fusion timing, and elixir-making techniques, must be imprinted on the scroll.
Only in this way can other alchemists use Soul Power to read the key information hidden in the elixir.
Otherwise, even if you get the prescription, it will be just a piece of waste paper!
"Huh..."
Jiang Donghua held his breath and concentrated, Soul Power poured into the tip of the pen like a trickle, and the tip of the pen fell, slowly outlining mysterious lines on the scroll.
As the pen moved, his Soul Power also carved invisible marks on the scroll, recording every subtle change in the refining process.
With every stroke he made, Jiang Donghua felt a little bit of his Soul Power being taken away, and his brain felt like it was being pierced by countless fine needles, causing bursts of pain.
"Hiss..."
He gritted his teeth, beads of sweat already forming on his forehead.
"No wonder most alchemists are unwilling to make elixirs. This is simply more torturous than practicing physical skills!"
Making the elixir requires not only extremely high soul control, but also enduring the pain of being constantly pulled away from Soul Power.
If Soul Power is insufficient, at least the elixir recipe will be incomplete, and at worst, the soul will be damaged!
Jiang Donghua endured the discomfort and continued writing.
One, two, three...
When I wrote the eighth picture, my face turned a little pale, and the hand holding the pen began to tremble slightly.
"No, if this continues, Soul Power may be overdrafted."
He took a deep breath, took out a Spirit Nourishing Pill that restored Soul Power from Storage Ring, and swallowed it, which slightly relieved the tingling sensation in his brain.
"Master, this old guy really treats me like a coolie."
Jiang Donghua cursed secretly in his heart, but did not dare to stop the movement of his hands.
Finally, after consuming an entire Spirit Nourishing Pill, all ten pill prescriptions were completed!
He breathed a long sigh of relief and slumped down on the chair. His whole body seemed to have been drained of strength, and he didn't even want to move his fingers.
"Finally done!"
The ten pill prescriptions on the table are emitting faint soul fluctuations at the moment, and each one records complete refining information.
Jiang Donghua Looking at his results, he finally felt a little comfort in his heart.
"Although the process was a bit painful, it was not embarrassing at all."
After two days of frantic writing, Jiang Donghua has lost weight. His eye sockets are slightly sunken, but his eyes are sharper than before.
The pen in his hand kept moving, and Soul Power poured out like running water, carving the last line on the scroll. Pill Pattern, Explosive Fire Pill First-grade Pill is one of the more violent ones. If you are not careful when refining, the furnace will explode, but if it can be successful, its power is quite impressive.
"Huh--"
Jiang Donghua breathed a long sigh of relief. As soon as he put down his pen, the door of the alchemy room was pushed open, and Elder Mo Xuan walked in with a smile.
"Bad boy, have you finished writing?"
Jiang Donghua raised his head, pointed feebly at the mountain of alchemy scrolls on the table, and said.
"Master, see for yourself."
Elder Mo Xuan took a closer look and his eyes suddenly widened.
"More than a hundred pictures?!"
He originally just wanted Jiang Donghua to write dozens of pieces to cope with the assessment, but he didn't expect that this kid actually wrote more than a hundred pieces in one go!
"Did you write down all the first-grade elixir recipes?"
Elder Mo Xuan picked up a few pictures and looked through them, and found that each one was extremely complete, and some prescriptions even included Jiang Donghua's own experiences.
Jiang Donghua rubbed his swollen temples and smiled bitterly.
"Master, you asked me to write the elixir prescription. How dare I neglect it? In the past two days, apart from meditating to restore the power of my soul, I have been working hard on writing, and I haven't even slept much."
Elder Mo Xuan Hearing this, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, but his words remained unforgiving.
"Humph, you brat, stop pretending to be pitiful here!"
He paused and suddenly grinned.
"Your prescription for elixirs is really good. There are some parts that even my teacher would not have thought of. It seems that the two days of hard work have not been in vain!"
Jiang Donghua When I heard it, I immediately became energetic.
"Master, are you praising me?"
Elder Mo Xuan's beard curled up.
"What? I complimented you as a teacher and you feel proud?"
Jiang Donghua smiled and did not refute.
Although he was very tired from these two days of crazy writing, the harvest was also huge.
In the past, when he refined elixirs, he mostly followed ready-made elixir recipes and rarely thought about the principles behind them.
This time, making the recipe himself gave him a deeper understanding of the characteristics of each medicinal material, the control of heat, and even the use of Soul Power.
"Master, this disciple finally understands why high-level alchemists attach so much importance to the preparation of elixirs."
Jiang Donghua sighed.
Elder Mo Xuan nodded.
"Alchemy is the foundation of an alchemist. Only by making it yourself can you truly understand the essence of the elixir. This time is a blessing in disguise for you, Soul Power, I am afraid you have become a lot better, right?"
Jiang Donghua closed his eyes and sensed it, and he found that his Soul Power was more solid than before, and it was as smooth as an arm to control.
"Indeed!"
he said in surprise.
Elder Mo Xuan stroked his beard with satisfaction, suddenly took out a jade box from Storage Ring, and threw it to Jiang Donghua.
"Here, it's your reward!"
Jiang Donghua took the jade box and opened it, his eyes widened immediately.
"Fifth-grade Pill--Soul Condensing Pill!"
This is the best elixir for nourishing the soul and is priceless!
"Master, what are you doing?"
Jiang Donghua can't believe it.
Elder Mo Xuan snorted.
"What? You don't want it? Then give it back to me!"
Jiang Donghua quickly stuffed the jade box into his arms and said with a smile.
"Yes! Of course! Thank you so much, Master!"
Elder Mo Xuan couldn't help laughing and scolding when he saw this.
"You bastard, you got an advantage and still act like a good boy!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door. Before going out, he glanced back at Jiang Donghua and said meaningfully.
"Have a good rest. The assessment will begin tomorrow. Don't embarrass me!"
Jiang Donghua was stunned.
"Assessment? Haven't I already finished writing the recipe?"
Elder Mo Xuan raised the corner of his mouth.
"Who told you that everything will be fine after you write the prescription? You have to go to invigilate the exam in person tomorrow!"
He suddenly felt that he seemed to have been tricked by his master again.
