Duanmu Hong's words silenced the entire second floor of the Black Spirit Hall. All the ancient race disciples and the descendants of the Void Temple looked at him.
The ancient clan disciple who spoke first didn't get angry when he saw Duanmu Hong, who still looked like a teenager. He merely glanced sideways at him. "You should only be at the Foundation Establishment stage. Can you understand Brother Liancheng's technique?"
"Junior doesn't understand," Duanmu Hong answered honestly.
Even if he was talented in alchemy and knew many things, the difference in cultivation was too big. He naturally couldn't see through Gu Liancheng's method of using magic power. At most, he could only guess from the surface.
When Duanmu Hong answered like this, many people revealed looks of disapproval.
The leader of the Taixu Temple disciples was a handsome youth in white. It was Chen Xingyu. A Taixu Temple disciple beside him shook his head. "Xuanmen Tianzong is really arrogant. Even a child doesn't know what's important."
Duanmu Hong looked at the others strangely and then looked at Yan Wuwei. "But Martial Uncle Yan explained it to me. I can understand."
Many people smiled and shook their heads. However, there were also a few people who looked at Yan Wuwei. "This fatty hasn't formed his nascent soul yet, but he can understand the technique of the middle stage Yuanying cultivator, Gu Liancheng?"
Some of the Gu clan disciples frowned and looked at Gu Liancheng. This was because they noticed that after Gu Liancheng heard Duanmu Hong's words, his expression changed from disapproving to thoughtful. He began to think seriously.
More and more people saw him like this, and they couldn't help but feel nervous. They began to seriously think about Duanmu Hong's initial words.
Most of the Gu Clan's disciples were proficient in alchemy, especially the few led by Gu Liancheng. Although they were juniors in the Ancient Emperor's bloodline, if they were to go to the outside world, they would all be famous alchemy grandmasters.
Now that they put down their prejudices and thought seriously, their hearts moved. They went into deep thought and kept deducing.
Especially Gu Liancheng, he could be said to be the most outstanding alchemy genius of the Ancient King's younger generation. He could even be considered the most outstanding alchemy grandmaster below the Primordial Soul Realm.
Duanmu Hong's words were directed at the problem he had with the alchemy just now. Gu Liancheng was the clearest on whether Duanmu Hong was talking nonsense or not.
After thinking about it carefully, Gu Liancheng shook his head and said, "It is not impossible to use the Seven Void and Three Corporeal method, but because I am using the Nan Ming Li Fire to refine the elixir, if I use the Seven Void and Three Corporeal magic power to refine the elixir, it might damage the medicinal effect."
"Perhaps it can indeed draw out more pills, but the medicinal power won't be as good as it is now. Choosing the lesser of two evils, the quality of the pills is more important than quantity."
Duanmu Hong frowned. "You don't have to use the Nan Ming Li Fire."
Someone from the Gu clan burst out laughing, but Gu Liancheng didn't laugh. Instead, he explained seriously, "Using the Nan Ming Li Fire not only increases the success rate of alchemy, but it also increases the quality of the elixir. Therefore, when using the Nan Ming Li Fire, the amount of spirit energy drawn when opening the cauldron is the most suitable.
"Of course, this is relative to elixirs like the Qi Reversal Elixir. For other elixirs, there will be corresponding changes in the technique, but there will be many changes. It is not just the change of the magic power when opening the cauldron to refine the elixir. This needs to be adapted to the situation."
After hearing Gu Liancheng's explanation, many people thought about it seriously and nodded. "That is right. In order to covet the number of elixirs, he neglected the quality of the elixir. This is obviously not worth it."
"However, this child is not bad. He is quite talented in the alchemy path."
"He still needs to guard against arrogance and rashness. Otherwise, it will be easy for him to walk on the crooked path of seeking instant benefits. Then, a good seedling will be wasted."
"That will depend on how Xuanmen Tianzong teaches him. However, looking at the current situation, there are already signs of him walking on the crooked path. Xuanmen Tianzong's rise is too fast, and the entire sect is too impatient. This is unavoidable."
Hearing the discussions of the surrounding people, Yang Tie, Tan Yunqing, Yan Wuwei, and the others were calm. However, Ye Xinhui and the other third generation direct disciples were frowning slightly. However, it wasn't because of their senior brother, Duanmu Hong. Instead, they were looking at the people discussing.
Gu Liancheng stopped the discussion of his clansmen and waved his hand. "Although his thinking is not thorough enough, it is rare for him to be able to draw inferences and think deeply. Also, don't forget that he is only at the Foundation Establishment Realm. When I and all of you were at the Foundation Establishment Realm, did you pay attention to the change of magic power when pulling the elixir?"
"At that time, we would be happy for a long time if we could refine more than five Qi Restoration Pills with the same amount of ingredients."
The ancient clansmen quietened down. Gu Liancheng turned to look at Duanmu Hong. "This little friend, I remember that you are called Duanmu Hong. Are you Daoist Tang Jun's direct disciple?"
Duanmu Hong nodded. Gu Liancheng continued, "Little friend Duanmu, maintain your meticulous and open-minded way of thinking. However, you need to be more thorough when thinking about problems. Your future is limitless."
In the Taixu Temple, a young man looked at Duanmu Hong and said, "You have talent, but you cannot squander it like this. Blindly seeking instant benefits and greed for a moment of vanity will only lead you to the wrong path in the end."
"Perhaps this cannot be blamed on you. After all, the environment you grew up in is like this. One is marked by the company one keeps. It is inevitable that you will be affected."
He glanced at Tang Jun and shook his head before looking at Duanmu Hong again. "Some people have already sunk their feet into the mud. You still have the leeway to rein in the horse at the precipice. Conduct yourself with dignity."
Yang Tie Silently said, "This Daoist from the Taixu Temple, please be careful with your words."
The young man smiled. "Good medicine tastes bitter, and good advice is unpleasant to the ear. This has always been the case since ancient times. I admit that my words just now were a little deep, but I really cannot bear to see a good seedling of alchemy step on the wrong path. If you feel that my words are unpleasant to the ear, I can choose not to say it. However, those who hide their ailments for fear of treatment will only suffer in the end. "
Tang Jun, who had been staring at the Flowing Azure Cauldron, finally regained his senses. He suddenly turned around and asked, "How should I address you?"
"My name is Chang Ling." The young man smiled faintly.
Tang Jun nodded. "Fellow Daoist Chang seems to have deep attainments in the Dao of alchemy?"
Chang Ling unhurriedly said, "My master is Dao Master Ming Qi, a disciple of Dao Master Qing Ning. What I have learned from my elders in alchemy is only the tip of the iceberg. I don't dare to say how deep my attainments are, but at the very least, I know some of the most basic principles. "
Dao Master Ming Qi was a cultivator of the same generation as Lin Daohan and Yan Mingyue in Taixu Temple. He had entered the sect before Yan Mingyue and Pang Jie. It was just that he spent most of his time in seclusion at White Cloud Mountain and rarely went out. Even if he did go out, it was to gather herbs and refine pills, so he wasn't too famous.
But within Taixu Temple, Dao Master Ming Qi's reputation was very resounding. As one of Dao Master Qing Ning's successors, his alchemy skills were superb and he was at the top of the entire Taixu Temple. His master, Dao Master Qing Ning, had high hopes for Dao Master Ming Qi and was optimistic that he would surpass his master in the future.
However, in the outside world, very few people knew of Dao Master Ming Qi. But his master, Chang Ling's Master Ancestor, Dao Master Qing Ning, was extremely famous.
This old man had already become famous in the Middle Era. After entering the Modern Era, he was recognized as the number one alchemist in Taixu Temple. His alchemy skills were superb and not only did he far surpass his peers, but it was also difficult to find someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
The Dao of alchemy was not like magic powers. The higher one's cultivation, the stronger their magic powers, and the higher their alchemy skills would be.
Of course, there were some alchemy methods that could only be used after one's magic powers or cultivation reached a certain level. Or, if one's magic powers were powerful enough, it would be more helpful in alchemy.
But what was more important was a cultivator's own understanding and perception of the Dao of alchemy.
There were many unique alchemy methods and techniques that were rooted in a cultivator's own understanding of the Dao and magic powers. They were unique methods that could only be comprehended by oneself; not even a master could teach them.
The lower one's cultivation, the greater the difference in their realm and magic powers. The Yuanying realm Gu Liancheng, Tang Jun, and Chang Ling were naturally better at alchemy than the Foundation Establishment realm Duanmu Hong. This was because there were some techniques that even if Duanmu Hong knew, he couldn't use on his own, or if he couldn't use them freely, thus he wouldn't be able to achieve the desired effect.
And the higher one's cultivation, the smaller the effect would be. This was especially true after one reached the Essence Soul realm. The difference in magic powers and magic powers would have a negligible effect on alchemy skills. At this time, alchemy skills mainly depended on a cultivator's own comprehension and research.
With Dao Master Qing Ning as an example, it wasn't just the previous generation's Dao Master Supreme, Shōichi Dōshin, and the others, but even the previous generation's Taixu Temple Elders were inferior to him in terms of alchemy techniques.
In the eyes of many people in this world, Dao Master Qing Ning was not only the number one alchemist in Taixu Temple, but he was also the number one alchemist in the entire Divine Land.
Chang Ling's words sounded modest, but how could the people of Xuanmen Tianzong not hear the ridicule in his words?
Even the simple and honest Duanmu Hong widened his eyes and clenched his fists.
Tang Jun calmly looked at Chang Ling and nodded. "Oh, I've heard of Dao Master Qing Ning's great name for a long time. Dao Master Ming Qi must also be an alchemy expert."
"However, Dao Friend Chang, what you said just now is still open to discussion. Hiding one's illness for fear of treatment is indeed not advisable, but there is a prerequisite. The doctor must be a good doctor, not a quack."
Chang Ling frowned slightly when he heard this. Tang Jun's expression remained indifferent. "Did Dao Friend Chang grow up in White Cloud Mountain? I wonder if you've lived in the secular world? You must know that many patients who could have survived lost their lives in vain because of quacks. "
Tang Jun calmly walked in front of the people of Taixu Temple and looked at Chang Ling face to face. A cold smile appeared on his face. "To you, it might be seeking instant benefits, but to us Xuanmen disciples, it's nothing more than a trivial matter. Greedy for a moment of vanity? It's not that we're greedy for vanity, but we can bear this glory, so it naturally falls on us. "
Chang Ling's pupils shrank slightly. "You …"
Tang Jun chuckled and directly turned around, leaving Chang Ling behind. He walked in front of the Flowing Green Cauldron. "Open your eyes wide and learn well."
