Chapter 25: Master
Chapter 25: The Great Master
Outside the window, in the small courtyard, an old man stood quietly. His back was a little crout, but in Zhang Shen's sight, his back was extremely tall and straight, which seemed to cover the world.
Zhang Shen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his spirit was poured into it. Looking at it again, the old man stood there, but he could not feel it at all, like a mass of air, and as if he had integrated with this world.
Recalling the warm voice in his ear when he woke up for the first time, Zhang Shen had a clear understanding in his heart.
He walked out of the room and walked towards the old man.
"Thank you for saving my life." Zhang Shenchao bowed deeply.
Hey~~ The old man waved his hand and didn't care: "Don't be polite. It's also a fate that the old man can save you."
"How dare you forget the great kindness to save your life? Zhang Shen, may I ask the old gentleman's name?
"Ha ha, the name." The old man turned around and saw a trace of nostalgia in his eyes. "I haven't mentioned it for a long time. I have forgotten the old man myself. Just call me the old head."
Zhang Shen was stunned by the deep eyes of the old man who seemed to contain the truth of heaven and earth.
"Sit down. You have been lying in ** for several days and still need to recuperate."
The old man surnamed said and waved casually. The ground surged and turned mud into stone. Two stone stools and a stone table appeared in an instant.
The surname is Gu... Alchemy... The unity of heaven and man... Zhang Shen's mind flashed, is it...
Zhang Shen sat down and was more respectful between his words. The basic etiquette of treating elders, especially those who have mastered spiritual knowledge, is necessary.
He immediately understood who the master was. He smiled helplessly: "I didn't expect that hundreds of years have passed, and some people still remember me, a bad old man. Little guy, don't be polite. You will make the old man uncomfortable.
"Senior Gu, do you know what happened after the boy?" Seeing the old man say this, Zhang Shen was no longer restrained. After a few words, he asked the question he was most concerned about.
"The old man is not very clear."
The great master shook his head with an expression of helplessness. According to him, when he arrived at the ancestral temple, Zhang Shen was already unconscious and took him to the mountain. After that, Zhang Shen was also in a coma, and often showed a very painful and ferocious expression, shouting and jumping lively.
It has been a month since Zhang Shen fell into a coma!
If it hadn't been for the middle master collecting the qi of heaven and earth to refine the elixir spiritual liquid to supplement his basic needs, Zhang Shen would have been afraid that it would take ten days and a half months to get out of bed.
"At first, your spiritual fluctuation was very strong, but it was getting weaker and weaker. The old man kept using spiritual stimulation and did not respond. He thought you couldn't hold on. Unexpectedly, hehe, little guy, good, very good."
If you can get a "very good" comment from the master, if you let Yu Lao or other alchemists know it, you will be jealous to death.
Zhang San thought about it and had no clue, so he talked about the events before and after the Dan meeting and asked the master to help him with details, hoping to see some problems with his superb knowledge.
The imbalance of the five elements, the prevalence of golden fire, easy anger, black smoke... The master pondered for a moment and slowly said, "The old man has no clue, but what you said reminds me of something."
"Little guy, if the old man is right, you should learn alchemy."
Zhang Shen nodded.
"Well, the old man, you are very good at alchemy. You should know the taboo method of refining the human body."
Zhang Shen nodded again.
"The scene you just described reminded the old man of the chat with Hornheim."
"The refining of the human body is a taboo method. Let alone the huge price to be paid, even if the refining is successful, the 'human' created through this method has huge defects."
"The most obvious of them is extreme negative emotions."
"Arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, greed, lust, Hohenheim called the 'seven sins', which is a negative force that exists in everyone's heart."
"And the 'people' created through alchemy are often swallowed up by one or several extreme negative emotions, and their minds are chaotic. From a certain point of view, it can't be called 'human' at all.
"That black figure should be related to the 'rage' of the seven sins. Little guy, if you want to pursue it to the end, you can go to the neighboring country's Ames Dolis.
"Well, after hundreds of years, this day still came." The master picked up the teacup that appeared when it appeared, gently embellished it, and sighed, "Although I stopped Hornheim, and later had a lot of friendship, at that time, the old man felt that the concept of alchemy, with its development and growth, sooner or later, he would embark on the road to the outside world... After all, it came. "
"Little guy, I want you to guide you to Amestoris to have the selfishness of an old man. I hope you won't be surprised."
Zhang Shen smiled and said, "You think too much. Even if there is no such thing, the boy will go to Amestorius.
"My alchemy has reached a bottleneck. Amestorius is the origin of alchemy. Anyway, I will go to explore the origin of alchemy."
The master showed admiration and sighed: "When the old man was as old as you, he had just come into contact with alchemy. Ha ha, he doesn't know anything and often makes jokes. Don't mind the old man asking, little guy, what do you think of alchemy?
Zhang San's heart moved, did not answer rashly, and began to meditate.
For a moment, Zhang Shen organized the language in his mind and said slowly, "The key to alchemy lies in the human spirit and the free energy flow of heaven and earth, which is the resonance of the qi of heaven and earth, followed by the understanding of everything in the world. This is the opposite of alchemy. Alchemy focuses on the analysis and understanding of everything in the world, but the strength and sensitivity of spiritual power are less important.
"This is also the reason why the boy learns alchemy."
"I hope to make up for the shortcomings of alchemy with the strengths of alchemy and create my own way."
"I have also achieved certain results during this period."
"Dragon vein alchemy, please also ask the master to comment on it."
With such a good opportunity, Zhang Shen will be too sorry for himself if he doesn't grasp it well. Regarding alchemy, he is far from reaching a level that can be highly summarized in a few words. It's better to take the opportunity to show his "dragon vein alchemy" and let the master comment on it, which can also avoid many detours.
Oh~~ The eyes of the great master Gujing Bbo glowed with curiosity for the first time: "Dragon vein alchemy? Let the old man have a look."
Because of the initial recovery of a serious illness, Zhang Shen did not intend to carry out large-scale refining. He changed his mind and chose a small but "fine" enough refining.
Zhang Shen began to draw and refine on the stone table.
symbolizes the circular circle of all things in the world;
symbolizes the world's six supreme mysterious hexagons;
A triangle symbolizing the power of the earth;
simple or complicated rune patterns.
While drawing into a formation, spiritual power gushed out from Zhang Shen's eyebrows and sank into the void.
A wave of strong "earth" atmosphere converged towards this side, almost to the extent. At this time, if someone walks into this area, they will immediately feel extremely heavy, as if they have stepped into the muddy land, and it seems that the gravity of this place has increased several times out of thin air, making it difficult to walk.
Dragon vein alchemy, since this concept was initially formed, has only appeared once. It was Zhang Shen's destruction of the huge stone wall contaminated by black gas, which was also its maiden battle.
However, strictly speaking, that use was not complete!
The dragon vein alchemy conceived by Zhang Shen does not simply attach the spirit of heaven and earth to the surface of the alchemy product, so that it has the capital to fight against extraordinary forces.
If that's the case, spend some money, and there are a lot of better choices on the big will list!
If it's really just for that purpose and spend so much time, it's completely ridiculous to pick up sesame seeds and throw watermelons.
This time, Zhang Shen wants to use the real dragon vein alchemy conceived in his mind!
After refining into a formation, Zhang Shen paused the movement in his hand, concentrated his thoughts, and more mental strength gushed out, guiding the strong "earth" qi that was only one step away from entering the refining array.
After entering the array, the "earth" spirit is gradually transformed into form and attached to the drawn alchemy rune under the control of Zhang Shen.
It seems that a drop of mercury fell into the boundary-limited abrasives. With more than a dozen breathing efforts, the original form of these "earth" qi disappeared and turned into a character pattern, which was an alchemy text.
After these alchemy characters composed of "earth" air are formed, they slowly float above the alchemy text drawn by Zhang Shen on the desktop. If you look carefully, you can still see faint traces of air distortion.
The second layer of alchemy text was formed, and Zhang Shen began to fine-tune them.
In alchemy, the circulation of heaven and earth is very important, as is the dragon vein alchemy.
It didn't take much time to fine-tune. Soon, the "earth" qi forcibly dragged by Zhang Shen once again made contact with the surrounding aura of heaven and earth. At the same time, it also formed a simple cycle. The continuous "earth" qi flowed from the surrounding void to fill the gap.
Next is the last and most important step.
The dragon vein is refined and started!!
The silver thunder stained with a little earthy yellow suddenly burst out, half into the void, and half disappeared into the stone table.
The master couldn't take his eyes off every reaction.
In his horizon, in this space, the earthy atmosphere suddenly surged up and gathered in a strange way into the refining array drawn by Zhang Shen on the stone table.
A bulge appeared on the desktop, and regular fluctuations emanated from it, forming a wonderful resonance with this world.
After a few blinks, the fluctuations disappeared, and the surrounding atmosphere returned to calm.
At a close look, a cube rock appeared on the stone table.
The rocks are generally light green, with snake-squall-like lines on the surface, which looks beautiful.
The master stared at the stone for a moment, his white eyebrows trembled, and there was a guess in his heart.
"Little guy, don't be preocating. Let the old man see the results of your dragon vein alchemy."
Zhang Shen smiled, picked up the snake green rock and gently knocked on the edge of the stone table.
The "shell" cracked, and a diamond-shaped transparent stone rolled out of it.
"Sure enough, something is hidden." The master stroked his long beard and was a little surprised. "It's just diamond jade. Tut, little guy, you really surprised the old man."
