Volume 4: The Rise of Wuji Dao Chapter 3: Thunder Palm, Alchemist
After distributing the Tongmai Pills, Su Yan asked Su Yi to leave and called Min Xuelou in.
"Master." Min Xuelou bowed to Su Yan meticulously.
Su Yan got straight to the point and said, "I know you are more talented in practicing ice-attributed exercises. It just so happens that I have a "Ice Qi" here. Although it may not be better than the "Wuji Gong", it can be studied and understood by you. Maybe it can help you to understand the mysterious gate of heaven and man sooner."
"Thank you, Master!"
Su Yan looked at Wu Yue next to him and said, "You are quite talented in water-attributed techniques. Water and ice are connected, so you should listen to it. Don't just stand there. Go get some pen, ink, paper and inkstone and take notes."
"yes."
The two of them agreed and went to get writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.
In fact, it was inside the Wuji Palace—Su Yi had brought it before and did not take it away.
After the two were ready, Su Yan began to teach and explain the "Ice Qi".
Although Wu Yue had a high level of comprehension, his foundation was poor after all. He didn't understand what was being said and just forced himself to memorize the content.
However, Min Xuelou, because of his special talent of "Ice Intention" and his own cultivation reaching the eighth level of perfection in the acquired realm, listened attentively, nodded from time to time, and occasionally even showed a look of enlightenment, obviously benefiting a lot.
In this way, by the time Su Yan finished explaining "Hanbing Zhenqi", it was already past midnight.
Both of them had martial arts skills, so they didn't feel sleepy at all. They simply sat in the hall to consolidate what they had learned and also keep watch for Su Yan.
The word "night watch" doesn't sound nice, but Su Yan still can't control his body below the head, so he really needs someone to protect him.
…
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Although summer is coming to an end, it is even hotter.
However, Shuiyue Cave is located deep in the mountains, close to the belly of the mountain, so it is quite cool.
In the Wuji Hall, Su Yan was answering some of Duan Zhang's questions about martial arts.
Duan Zhang returned from Longshan County seven days ago, and was replaced by Zhao Shi. Qinglong Temple was also officially renamed Shuiyue Villa, and from now on Duan Zhang and Zhao Shi would take turns to be in charge.
Su Yan personally answered the doubts of Duan Zhang, the third-generation true disciple. One reason was that his master Xu Lai had been busy refining pills recently and had little time.
Secondly , when Xu Lai left Kunwu Mountain with Su Yi, he was just a teenager with the second or third level of acquired cultivation. And because he did not teach many martial arts suitable for male disciples to learn, his knowledge of martial arts was quite limited.
Although Su Yan felt that female disciples were more pleasing to the eye than male disciples, he did not want the yin and yang of Wuji Dao to be too unbalanced. Of course, he had to find ways to improve the strength of several male disciples - at least to pass on some of the martial arts that Su Yi and others had not brought out back then.
While explaining, he did not forget to check Duan Zhang's qualifications.
Name: Duan Zhang;
Age: 33 years old
Root bone: 8;
Comprehension: 8;
Fortune:?
Talent: Thunder affinity.
Xu Lai's two disciples were just like him, looking very ordinary, so Su Yan had never had the time to investigate their qualifications before, and he never thought that Duan Zhang was actually Lei Qinhe.
Speaking of which, he had explored the qualifications of many disciples , but this was the first time he had seen Lei Qinhe.
Therefore, after answering Duan Zhang's questions about martial arts, he said, "I have a mysterious martial art called Thunder Palm, which should be very suitable for you. I will teach it to you now."
"Thank you, Master!" Duan Zhang kowtowed quickly, somewhat excited.
Xuan-level martial arts are already quite rare, let alone being taught by the founder?
There is no doubt that it must be a top-grade Xuan-level martial art.
When Duan Zhang was listening to Su Yan answering questions, he was already taking notes with a book and pen, so he didn't need to get them again.
There are only five moves in "Thunder Palm", which mainly uses true Qi to imitate the shock of thunder, but also implicitly corresponds to the five changes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. When the palm is out, not only the sound is like thunder, but also the true Qi can cause explosive damage.
Su Yan continued to teach and explain. When he finished, he was about to ask Duan Zhang if he didn't understand something, but he noticed a new message on the simulator achievement information bar -
"Wuji Dao has its first Yellow-rank alchemist, and has obtained 1,000 achievement points!"
Yellow-level alchemist?
After reading this message, Su Yan couldn't help but fall into deep thought, thinking, could it be that the simulator also has special titles and grade classifications for people who refine pills?
In addition, this alchemist should refer to Xu Lai, right?
When Su Yi came over earlier, he had said that Xu Lai was going to start refining the Qi Yun Dan again today. Could it be that he had finally succeeded?
The reason why Su Yan used the word "finally" was because after Xu Lai listened to what Su Yi relayed from him, he finally let go and tried to refine the elixir.
However, he had previously started five furnaces, but all ended in failure, and he was unable to produce a qualified Qi-enhancing Pill.
Today is the sixth furnace. If it fails again, Xu Lai will be heartbroken for the wasted medicinal materials.
Then, Su Yan calmed down his wandering thoughts and patiently explained to Duan Zhang several unclear points about the Thunder Palm. Then he saw Xu Lai running to the Wuji Palace holding a wooden box.
He did not care that his disciple Duan Zhang was present, and he knelt down in front of Su Yan, smiling and said, "Grandmaster, I have fulfilled my mission, and I have finally succeeded in refining this furnace of Qi Condensation Pills!"
Su Yan had guessed this beforehand, so he wasn't too excited. He nodded and asked, "How many pills are there in this furnace?"
Xu Lai explained honestly: "This furnace refines 60 pills, and 36 are successful!"
"Okay." Su Yan finally smiled and nodded approvingly.
This success rate is pretty good.
Ning Zhongze of the Huashan Sect was in charge of refining the Yunqi Pills. He used nine furnaces before he finally succeeded in refining one. At that time, he also refined sixty pills, but only twenty-seven were successful.
It seems that Xu Lai does have a talent for refining pills, and the time he spent previously researching the pill formula was not wasted.
Then, Su Yan asked Xu Lai to tell Su Yi, Fu Xuan and others the good news so that they could be happy too.
After Xu Lai and Duan Zhang left, Su Yan looked at the sect achievement value which had increased by 1,000 points to 7,900 points, and began to think.
One is to think about how to use up another batch of achievement points, and the other is to think about how to earn more achievement points.
Using achievement points is nothing more than exchanging various goods from the mall to enhance the strength of Wuji Dao.
As for how to earn achievement points, Su Yan summarized the following points :
① Sect star upgrade.
② Recruit disciples with special talents.
③Eliminate hostile and evil forces.
④Have disciples with special abilities, such as alchemists.
Maybe there are other ways, but he hasn't discovered them yet.
…
That evening, Su Yan once again summoned Su Yi, Wu Yue and six second-generation true disciples to the Wuji Hall for a meeting.
Glancing at everyone, he said, " Today Xu Lai finally refined a furnace of Yunqi Pills, which means that we in Wuji Dao now have an alchemist.
With the pill recipe and the alchemist, all you need to do in the future is to make enough money to make pills like Peiyuan Pill and Yunqi Pill.
Xu Lai has made a special contribution to my Wuji Dao, so I decided to use my secret technique to help him improve his understanding."
Su Yi and others could understand Su Yan's previous words.
But after hearing the last sentence, everyone except Wu Yue looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking: Comprehension can also be improved through secret techniques?
Wu Yue knew about Su Yan's ability, but since Su Yan didn't say anything, she just smiled and said nothing.
Su Yan didn't want to explain any more. He just looked at Xu Lai and said, "Come to me."
"Yes, Master."
Xu Lai responded and walked in front of Su Yan with a nervous expression, thinking to himself: Could the master's secret technique be dangerous?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he heard Su Yan say, "Okay, let's go back."
ah?
Is that it?
Xu Lai's slightly plump round face was full of surprise.
Not only Xu Lai was surprised, but Su Yi and others were too. However, because they were not involved, they came to their senses before Xu Lai.
Seeing Xu Lai still standing there in a daze, Su Yi coughed lightly and said, "Xu Lai, why don't you leave?"
"Oh yes."
Xu Lai retreated back to his original position.
Noticing that Fu Xuan, Mu Chunhua and the others were peeking at him, Xu Lai couldn't help but touch his forehead and thought: My comprehension has improved? That should make me smarter? Why do I feel like I've become dumber?
