Zongwu: I am Ouyang Ke

Chapter 160: Practicing alchemy is like cooking

It's not that Zhu Changhe doesn't believe it, but that he has practiced thousands of pills in five days, and the quality of the pills is still up to standard. This makes him, the elder of the Pill Hall...can't believe it!
Huang Rong frowned slightly. She knew very well what kind of character Ouyang Ke was, so she was a little confused. Could it be that Ouyang Ke had some new plan with such a high-profile approach?

Huang Rong didn't say anything, and so did the other girls. They all knew what kind of person Ouyang Ke was. Since he was willing to show his genius, he must have his plan. It doesn't matter if he doesn't know now, he will explain it later. , so now... watching your man show off his power, isn't it proud?

Ouyang Ke also did his best, hundreds of air swords appeared at the same time, some started to sort out the medicinal materials, and some... started to cut the medicinal materials...

In Ouyang Ke's eyes, practicing alchemy is the same as cooking. Who doesn't chop vegetables before cooking?Where can I get the flavor without cutting it?

The same goes for practicing alchemy. If the medicinal material is not cut, it will take a lot of time and ultra-high heat to melt it and refine it. Isn't this a waste of time?
After lighting the alchemy furnace with true essence, some chopped medicinal materials were put into it, and then several air swords began to stir-fry in the furnace...

This is called even heating. Otherwise, the dishes below, no, the herbs are all cooked, but the ones on top are still raw. Is this edible?
When the heat of the alchemy furnace melted the Qi Sword, the last part of the medicinal materials was cut, and then Ouyang Ke put it into the furnace, and then... the alchemy furnace was picked up by Ouyang Ke with his true energy, and began to shake regularly .

The heat in the alchemy furnace cannot be used by the Qi Sword. It can only be shaken from the outside in order to fully integrate the essence of the extracted medicinal materials. If this is used in cooking, it is called... shaking the spoon!
After the essence of the medicinal materials was fused, Ouyang Ke lowered the temperature of the furnace but increased the shaking. Now he was ready to make the elixir. If the temperature was too high, the elixir would not be made and could only be drank as water...

Under the control of strength, the essence of medicinal materials in the furnace began to turn into elixirs one by one, rolling back and forth in the elixir furnace. Everyone present had good eyesight, and they knew with just a glance that there were seven pills in total in this furnace. Ten.

Until the alchemy furnace landed, Ouyang Ke took out the Qi Restoration Pill. The whole process took... 15 minutes.

"Master, you've finished practicing. Can you take a look?"

After Ouyang Ke finished the presentation, he did not show any proud expression, because in his opinion, there was still room for improvement in this elixir.

They are all made from the essence of medicinal materials. They naturally have a medicinal aroma, but they still lack a bit of flavor. If you can add some seasonings to them, such as adding some salt or sugar, it should taste better, right?
Others were stunned...

Ouyang Ke had no idea that his method of combining cooking and alchemy training, which was extremely common in the secular world, was actually quite explosive in the world of cultivation!
Because since ancient times, no one has practiced elixir like him. Everyone has been honest and put the medicinal materials into the elixir furnace in order. After melting, they put other medicinal materials in sequence. After they are naturally refined, they will naturally become elixirs.

Otherwise, how can we embody 'Tao follows nature'?

But Ouyang Ke's series of operations made them discover that in fact, nature doesn't seem to be that important?
Zhu Changhe looked at Ouyang Ke and said in a dry voice: "Disciple, the difficulty you mentioned is..."

When it comes to this, Ouyang Keke gets excited!

First, he grabbed several medicinal materials: "Master, you have also seen that my cultivation is not enough. It took a long time to cut these medicinal materials." Everyone looked at the medicinal materials in his hand and were quite speechless. This iron grinding grass The Danyang fruit is indeed very hard. When necessary, they can be used as hidden weapons, but you said it takes a long time to cut them... This is too much. We just saw that when you cut them with Sword Qi, It's just a few more cuts than cutting other medicinal materials...

"Also, if my cultivation level is stronger, I can keep turning over the essence of the medicinal materials instead of picking up the alchemy furnace and shaking it. If I can always control it with sword energy, I can save some time."

One by one, Ouyang Ke explained the difficulties he found while practicing alchemy, and then everyone's faces became more and more confused: What is he talking about?Why can't you understand?

On the contrary, Zhu Changhe's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, because Ouyang Ke's so-called difficulties are not a problem here, so...can he give it a try?
If the method is feasible, then the efficiency of the elixir hall will skyrocket. If the Shushan Sword Sect is as big as this, the disciples will no longer be short of elixirs!
The apprenticeship ceremony was over, and Ouyang Ke successfully obtained two years of training time for himself, as well as...a large number of merit points!
"Ms. sir, why are you so anxious...?"

In a small forest in Shu Mountain, Ouyang Ke sat in a circle with the girls. Hearing Huang Rong ask, Ouyang Ke smiled: "In the past few days, I found that the five-year plan we set before was a bit conservative. The resources here are very sufficient, so I want to speed up the progress. With your qualifications, one year is enough to master all the basics. There is no need to stick to it for five years."

The girls all laughed, and after talking for a while, they followed Ouyang Ke back to the dormitory area of ​​the Alchemy Hall disciples.

Yes, although the master is not the same person, they... can live together.

Cultivation is a very personal matter. The role of the master is only to guide and correct. There is no need to be by your side all the time. As a well-known and upright Shushan, there are three basic core skills.

The first type is the Heavenly Sword Art of the Head Sect, and neither Ouyang Ke nor the other girls are disciples of the Head Sect, so their advantages and disadvantages are unknown.

The second type is the combat type's Ten Thousand Techniques Returning to the Sword, which emphasizes "If you have thousands of techniques, I will break them all with one sword." It is a technique with T0 level offensive power in Shushan, and even among all Immortal Sects. The progress of cultivation is too slow. It doesn't take more than a hundred years, and its power is not obvious.

The third type is the auxiliary sword technique. After learning it, the swords of Shushan disciples will become all-purpose. From attacking the enemy to treating diseases and acupuncture, they only need one sword. That’s it.

However, the technique is easy, but the requirements for the sword are very high, at least a sword of treasure level is required.

They have no capital to practice these three basic techniques, so what they are practicing now is the foundation among the basics, the sword-raising technique.

There are a total of [-] formations in the standard long sword issued by the sect. Only by activating [-]% of the formations with the Sword-raising Art can one fly with the sword. The beauty of the sword-raising art is that all the formations in the sword are activated. All formations, and only by achieving this step, can one be qualified to practice the three basic techniques...

In order to be able to truly wield a sword instead of being dragged around by it, Ouyang Ke also put in a lot of effort and meditated for at least two hours every day!
