Chapter 170 There Are Always Obstacles

Fire is needed for alchemy.

Moreover, the nature of this fire is very important. Good elixirs cannot be made without good fire.

In the entire Shangjing Huafu, only the Shenhuo Peak on the west side of the lake has lava ground fire suitable for alchemy. The fire pit that burns with coke like Gujiazhuang is only suitable for refining medicines needed by warriors in the early stage of the body-tempering realm.

That kind of fire can't even refine the jade brocade pills needed by internal force martial artists.

Generally speaking, the alchemy rooms of slightly larger sects use molten ground fire.

Of course, unrestrained ground fire is not good. It must be restrained by magic arrays to prevent the flames from being out of control. At the same time, it also adds a bit of spirituality.

Of course, if the sect or family is not strong, even if there is a good alchemy room, don't think about keeping it, and can only become a subsidiary of a larger family sect.

The alchemy room has too high requirements for the environment and fire.

In Shangjinghuafu, only the Shenhuo Peak has an alchemy room. It is not affiliated with any building, but all twelve buildings have it. There are more alchemists in Qingmu Building and Tianbao Building. They can compete with each other in the alchemy room, and the better alchemy rooms are occupied by them.

Some alchemy rooms dedicated to fourth-grade alchemists will be empty even if they are not used, and others will not be allowed to enter and exit at will.

Fang Shiquan is a fifth-grade alchemist,

However, he was born in Shangyang Building.

He does not have an exclusive alchemy room in Shenhuo Peak. Every time he refines an elixir, he needs to make an appointment in advance. Basically, the time will be delayed. For the same merit points, other alchemists will always be ahead of him.

Sometimes, he can only refine elixir in the big room.

The big room is an alchemy room similar to the one in Gujiazhuang, with dozens of fire pits in a wide hall.

Generally speaking, only alchemists of the seventh grade or below use the big room.

Alchemists of the fifth and sixth grades are qualified to refine elixir in a separate alchemy room.

However, rules are rules.

Sometimes, rules are not as good as connections and background.

The above situations are what Fang Shiquan said on the way to the Divine Fire Peak. Because Nie Wushuang did not apply for the qualification of an alchemist, he did not have a rank. The first time he went to the alchemy room, he could only refine pills in the hall.

After completing ten furnaces of nourishing blood pills, three of which can reach the level of top grade, he can be considered as a real ninth-grade alchemist.

The eighth-grade alchemist refines ten furnaces of bone-forging pills, and also needs three pills to be top grade.

The seventh-grade alchemist refines the heart-nourishing pills, which correspond to the martial artists in the refining organ realm. The requirements are exactly the same as those of the ninth-grade and eighth-grade alchemists.

The sixth-grade alchemist must refine the pill corresponding to the divine martial artist, the jade brocade pill.

Ten furnaces must be refined, and there is no requirement for the quality of the pills, whether they are medium-grade or low-grade, as long as they can be made into pills.

In Fang Shiquan's opinion, the sixteen-year-old Nie Wushuang is probably an eighth- or ninth-grade alchemist.

Alchemy is more about talent than martial arts, and it also requires more experience. Any famous alchemist has been through countless failures. Generally speaking, the older they are, the older they are. It is basically common sense.

Occasionally, one or two geniuses, such as Fang Shiquan, have only made some progress in alchemy in his thirties.

Sixteen years old?

Impossible!

As a fifth-grade alchemist, he is qualified to grade ninth-grade alchemists.

Fang Shiquan had an idea. He took over the task of grading Nie Wushuang in the alchemy room, and then watched Nie Wushuang make alchemy. On the road of martial arts practice, he had been beaten to a pulp by Nie Wushuang. In the art of alchemy, he wanted to take revenge.

He looked at Nie Wushuang with a smile.

As Fang Shiquan walked, he was thinking about how to beat Nie Wushuang later.

Young man, don't think that you have a good talent and no obstacles in your practice, so you think that everything is like this.

Alchemy!

That's not how it's made!

You take yourself too seriously!

There are two mountains between Shangyang Tower and Shenhuo Peak, connected by a bluestone mountain road. Both of them are Shenyi martial artists, and they are very fast. Soon, they arrived at Shenhuo Peak. They continued to go up along the winding mountain road and came to the halfway point of the mountain.

A huge courtyard is located in the concave land on the mountainside.

This is the alchemy room.

Like people, alchemy rooms are also divided into different levels.

The most exquisite one is naturally the exclusive independent courtyard that only the fourth-grade alchemist can have. It is protected by a magic array and is not disturbed by the outside world. As long as it is a fourth-grade alchemist, it can have it. Even if it is free, no one else can use it without the owner's permission.

Then there is the single-room alchemy room.

Both sixth-grade and fifth-grade alchemists can use it, but there are not many rooms, so they must make reservations in advance, with fifth-grade first and sixth-grade later.

Finally, there is the hall.

There are dozens of fire pits in a hall. The quality of the flames here is much worse than that of single rooms and independent courtyards.

Only the elixir in the body refining realm can be refined.

There is no need to make an appointment in advance to refine elixir here, because the entire alchemy room has nine halls, and if added up, there are hundreds of fire pits.

There are not so many alchemists who have entered the rank.

"Ninth rank?"

Standing in front of the door of the mission hall of the alchemy room, Fang Shiquan turned his head and looked at Nie Wushuang.

"Can I skip the level and determine the rank?"

Nie Wushuang asked back.

"No!"

Fang Shiquan shook his head.

"Then let's start with the ninth rank..."

After that, the two walked into the mission hall.

The mission hall of the alchemy room will issue some alchemy tasks. After the alchemist takes the task here, he can refine the elixir and hand it over to the mission hall according to the requirements, and then he can exchange it for the sect's merits. In addition, he can bring his own elixir raw materials to refine the elixir here.

The latter also needs to pay merit points in the mission hall.

Only by doing this will the elixir room be assigned to you.

The same is true for the final product. As long as Nie Wushuang takes over the task of refining ten furnaces of blood-nourishing pills and completes it independently under the supervision of the alchemist, he can obtain the title of ninth-grade alchemist. The task hall will issue a special talisman. Prove this.

"Hey, isn't this our great genius Fang?"

"Your Excellency, you are busy with things. It has been a long time. Why do you think of the alchemy room today?"

The mission hall has a row of long rectangular tables. People are sitting behind the long tables. In front of the long tables are alchemists who come to receive missions or turn in missions. The whole scene gives Nie Wushuang a sense of having returned to the government affairs hall in his previous life. .

The person behind the counter who was teasing Fang Shiquan in a weird tone was an alchemist of the same age as him. He had a black mole on his chin, and a long black hair growing on the mole, which made people very impressed after seeing it. profound.

"I met a nasty guy..."

Fang Shiquan whispered in Nie Wushuang's ear.

"I brought a junior brother here to prepare the elixir..."

As he spoke, Fang Shiquan forced a smile on his face.

"Junior brother?"

The man glanced at Nie Wushuang.

The sixteen-year-old boy Fang Shiquan calls his junior brother, which means he is a sixteen-year-old divine martial artist...

"Is this the genius of Shangyanglou who defeated Bai Yiyi?"

"You come to the alchemist to order a product?"

The man chuckled.

Nie Wushuang nodded.

"Okay, okay..."

"I happen to have nothing to do, so I can be your examiner, right?"

Fang Shiquan secretly said something bad. Originally, he wanted to be Nie Wushuang's examiner himself. As a fifth-grade alchemist, he had the qualifications.

However, the guy opposite is also a fifth-grade alchemist.

Moreover, he works in the alchemy hall and serves as an examiner for the alchemy master qualifications, which is justifiable.

"Mu Hua, I am his senior brother, how about I be the examiner?"

Fang Shiquan still wants to fight for it.

"Just because you are his senior brother, you should avoid suspicion. If my junior brother decides on the product, you don't want to be suspected of being behind closed doors, right?"

Mu Hua said with a smile.

"I'm different. As the manager of the alchemy room, I receive a salary. This is my job. Are you worried about my retaliation?"
