I have a magical tree

Xu Dao didn't expect the teacher to react so strongly. He thought that the sword intent was not rare, after all, he knew it inexplicably at that time.

What he said to the teacher just now was also half true and half false. He did fall into enlightenment that day, and thus comprehended the sword intent, but his cultivation level was not the eighth grade as he said, but the sixth grade.

He directly concealed two grades. After all, in this world, if you don't become the sixth grade, you will not live long!

"At that time, I thought that even if I didn't have to fight often, there would be a time when I needed it, so I bought two martial arts books to practice. Who knew that I would get such a reward." Xu Dao scratched his head.

"What is the other martial arts?"

"A boxing method called "Mountain-breaking and Sea-smashing Fist"!"

Ge Lao: "..."

What kind of shitty boxing method is this? It sounds like garbage. It's about breaking mountains and seas. If it is really some kind of magical secret method, it must have been famous all over the world. But this method is so arrogant, and he has never heard of it.

That can only mean one thing, this name is probably the same as that of the sword technique, it is randomly chosen.

"You haven't practiced the boxing technique to develop the boxing spirit, have you?" Ge Lao asked tentatively.

Xu Dao shook his head: "No!"

But it should be soon, he thought to himself, when he practiced this boxing technique recently, he vaguely had this feeling, but it seemed to be a little short.

"That's good!" Ge Lao breathed a sigh of relief, if Xu Dao could practice the boxing spirit even with this crappy boxing technique, he would really be scared.

"Okay, let's go, go to Shangyi Bureau!"

"Teacher, don't you want to eat?" Xu Dao reminded, the teacher put down the bowl and chopsticks before finishing eating.

"No more!" Ge Lao waved his hand, he didn't have any appetite now. "Go to Shangyi Bureau, I will teach you to make medicine!"

This may be the only skill he can show off in front of this disciple.

Speaking of martial arts, although his current realm is still above Xu Dao, with this disciple's talent and understanding, it is only a matter of time before he surpasses himself, and this process will probably be very fast!

Of course, maybe not only in martial arts, but also in the way of alchemy, Xu Dao's talent is not weak. If I am also in the way of alchemy...

Thinking of this, Ge Lao felt a little disappointed, but he quickly reacted. Isn't this a good thing? So, Ge Lao, who was a little depressed just now, suddenly couldn't help but feel happy again.

...

Xu Dao followed his teacher to the Shangyi Bureau, and then Xu Dao began to refine the first batch of elixirs in his life under the guidance of his teacher.

The elixir that Ge Lao chose for him was called Qi Bu Dan, which was not of grade, but was extremely close to the first-grade elixir, which was most suitable for entry.

It's not that Ge Lao looked down on Xu Dao and didn't choose a more difficult elixir. But alchemy is a step-by-step process.

He needs to learn how to control the flame first and be familiar with some skills involved in the process of alchemy. Some things can be seen, but it doesn't mean that you can do it.

Even though Xu Dao watched Ge Lao refine the fourth-grade elixir last time and learned a lot, it was the first time he really got started. Thinking and doing are completely two different concepts.

Even though it was just the simplest Qi-boosting pill, Xu Dao almost made mistakes several times. If it weren't for the teacher's constant reminders, he would have failed.

When the first batch of Qi-boosting pills came out of the furnace, Ge Lao looked at the ten Qi-boosting pills and nodded calmly, "It's okay, although the quality only meets the minimum standard. But it's the first time after all."

Although he said so, Ge Lao was actually very shocked, because it reminded him of the scene when he first made pills. Even though it was also the first time to make pills, and they were also the simplest Qi-boosting pills, he boasted that he had good talent and wasted four batches of medicinal materials before he succeeded on the fifth time.

But Xu Dao succeeded in one go.

"Continue to make it. I won't remind you again this time." Ge Lao casually put the Qi-boosting pill in a wooden box, walked out of the hall, raised his trembling arms, and pinched his beard.

"Am I not worthy of being his master?" Ge Lao muttered to himself, feeling like he was doubting his life. He didn't realize that he had pinched off several strands of his beard with his hands.

At this time, Xu Dao's mind was completely immersed in the alchemy furnace in front of him. In fact, he knew that the reason why he was able to succeed at once was not only because his soul was strong enough and his perception was sharp enough, but also because he had the Qi Refining Cultivation of the Naqi Realm.

Although the Naqi Realm was low, he found that mana was really useful for controlling fire and temperature and integrating medicinal properties. It was not as violent and unruly as martial arts Qi and blood, and was more suitable for fine operation and could truly move with the mind.

After the martial arts Qi and blood left the body, the farther the distance, the lower the controllability, until it would completely lose control after exceeding a limit. But mana was not like this.

Every strand of mana of a Qi cultivator seemed to be stamped with the cultivator's own will. It was gentle and peaceful in the body, and it could change its nature according to the cultivator's thoughts when it was outside the body, becoming an extension of the cultivator outside the body.

And the nature of mana was a perfect match for alchemy and medicine. Even if he was outside the furnace, he knew the inside of the furnace like the back of his hand and commanded it like an arm.

After the first attempt, Xu Dao gradually understood the secret of alchemy.

To put it simply, each kind of elixir has a theoretically optimal ratio. When it is refined according to this optimal ratio, it will be a elixir with the best efficacy and the highest quality.

This ratio can fluctuate within a certain range, which is why the quality of the elixir varies even if they are all successfully refined.

It sounds simple, but it is very difficult to get close to this optimal ratio, because even the same medicinal material will have subtle differences in medicinal properties due to different growing environments and different growing years.

So when you put in a medicinal material, you have to adjust the amount of subsequent medicinal materials according to the medicinal properties and efficacy of this medicinal material to reconcile the overall medicinal properties.

In addition, you must pay attention to the temperature changes, the length of time, and the humidity. It is more likely to affect the fusion of various medicinal properties. All these are knowledge.

When you take all these into consideration, your pills will be successfully refined.

"Bang!"

Xu Dao opened the lid of the pill furnace, just raised his hand and slapped the furnace wall, and the pills in the furnace were shaken out.

It should be good this time, right? Xu Dao lowered his head and looked at the newly baked Qi-boosting pill in his hand.

"Let me see!" Ge Lao came behind Xu Dao without knowing when, stretched his neck, and looked at it.

Xu Dao handed eleven Qi-boosting pills to the teacher, who looked at them for a long time, but remained silent.

"Teacher, did you fail?" Xu Dao was a little nervous, "I'll refine another furnace."

"No need, I'll start refining the first-grade blood-strengthening pill tomorrow!" Ge Lao waved his hand, then pinched the Qi-boosting pill and turned to leave.

When he reached the door, he turned back and shouted, "Your master's wife is coming back today, come with me to pick her up!"
