Chapter 52 You Want to Learn Alchemy
"I'm not a craftsman." The white-haired old woman turned around slowly, although her tone was old, but unhurried.
What appeared in Ning Cheng's eyes was a somewhat pale face with several wrinkles.
Ning Cheng didn't dare to stare at the old woman for a closer look, and hurriedly clasped his fists again respectfully and said, "This junior learned from Ge Chang that senior is a master craftsman, and after seeing senior's furnace, this junior is sure that Ge Chang didn't lie to me. Seniors are requested to help, as long as the junior's magic weapon is successfully refined, the juniors will do their best as long as the seniors have orders."
"Doing your best means that if you really can't do it, don't do it, right?" The old woman's tone was still slow.
Ning Cheng was stunned for a moment, this is obvious, could it be that you help me refine a needle, and I will work hard for you?
Fortunately, the old woman did not continue to ask, but said slowly, "I took something from Ge Chang, but I helped him refine a low-level magic weapon, so he thought I was a weapon refiner. Actually, I am not a magic weapon refiner." Equipment master..."
Ning Cheng felt contemptuous in his heart, he is not a craftsman, can you help Ge Chang refine magic weapons? He didn't dare to refute the old woman, so he had to continue, "Senior can refine magic weapons, so he is already a craftsman for this junior. The junior's request is very simple, as long as senior can help me refine an ordinary magic weapon. "
The old woman seemed embarrassed to reject Ning Cheng, she sighed and said, "Since you can find this place, if you want me to refine a magic weapon for you, that's fine too. But I have three conditions, first you can't be like Ge Chang, Go everywhere to advertise that I am a craftsman."
"This junior understands that this junior is only passing through Nanyuan City. I will definitely not spread the name of senior around and disturb senior's meditation." Ning Cheng hastily assured him.
The old woman nodded and continued, "Second, if the things you bring out don't suit my eyes, I won't help you refine them. Although I'm not a refiner, I don't know how to refine any rotten things. Thirdly The reward you give must satisfy me, otherwise I will not help you refine the weapon."
"Naturally, what kind of remuneration do you need, senior?" Ning Cheng said confidently, as long as the other party wants remuneration, it will be easy to handle. He still has hundreds of spirit stones, so the reward for a refiner is definitely not a problem.
"Tell me what you want to refine first, and then bring out the materials." The old woman didn't directly ask Ning Cheng for a reward, obviously she wanted to see what Ning Cheng refined, and then talk about the price.
Ning Cheng took out two sharp teeth of the second-level wolf demon and said, "I want to refine one..."
Before Ning Cheng could finish speaking, the old woman's face sank, "You used this kind of rubbish material to make me make weapons? Are you insulting me because I'm not a weapon refiner? Get out."
Ning Cheng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that the old woman would turn her back when she said she would turn her back. The teeth of the second-level wolf demon are rubbish? This is something that he is reluctant to take out and sell casually in the Magic Treasure Building. How come this old woman's mouth is rubbish?
Fortunately, Ning Cheng's reaction was extremely fast, he immediately put away the wolf demon's fangs, quickly took out another horn and said, "Because what I refined was a needle, I thought the wolf fang would be better. Since senior doesn't like it, I still have a unicorn..."
"Huh..." Seeing the jiaojiao in Ning Cheng's hand, the old woman gave a sound of surprise, raised her hand and snatched the jiaojiao with incomparable speed.
Ning Cheng stared at the old woman a little nervously at the side, he estimated that there would be a fight, and he might not be the old woman's opponent. If the old woman wants to covet his horns, he really has no choice.
"The Jiaojiao of the one-horned fire dragon that has just been promoted to the fourth level? Where did you get such a good thing from the eighth level of Qi Gathering?" After the old woman finished speaking,
He stared at Ning Cheng closely.
Ning Cheng's heart sank, he didn't even care about answering Jiao Jiao's matter, he stood up in shock, "Senior, can you see my actual cultivation?"
The old woman sneered, "How dare you hide your cultivation in front of me if you have broken concealment skills? Bah."
After finishing speaking, she took out a jade slip and threw it to Ning Cheng, "Let you see what the real concealment spell is."
Ning Cheng grabbed the jade slip, swept it in with his spiritual sense, and immediately sweated profusely. After he read this jade slip, he realized how rubbish his concealment spell was. The hidden technique was modified by him, if he didn't correct it, it would be terrible. But no matter how perfect his correction is, his concealment skills are still inherently deficient.
With his current cultivation base, there is still no way to use the origin of the Xuanhuang Pearl to reach the phaseless level.
Just like a piece of black iron, even if it is repeatedly forged, there is no way to turn it into a piece of gold. Or wait for the day when he can reach the level of Xuanhuang Wuxiang, that random exercise can also be corrected by Xuanhuangzhu into the most awesome top-level exercise. But that's certainly not now.
Ning Cheng scanned the concealment spell with the fastest speed. Spells are different from exercises, far less complicated and lengthy than exercises. Ning Cheng's memory is astonishing, just by casually scanning it, he has already memorized almost everything.
Others may fail to remember some subtleties, and may make mistakes during the cultivation process, but Ning Cheng is different, he can correct his own exercises.
"I can give you the hidden skill jade slip, but you need to answer two questions for me." The old woman knew that Ning Cheng had been shocked by the concealment spell when she saw the way Ning Cheng grasped the jade slip. She was not at all surprised that Ning Cheng could look at the jade slips during the Qi gathering period.
Ning Cheng hurriedly returned the jade slip to the old woman, "This junior dare not covet senior's skill jade slip, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask, this junior knows everything."
Ning Cheng is not a fool, he already understands the Jade Slip of Cultivation Technique, and if this old lady gives it to him, wouldn't it be a vain debt to her? Even if he wanted something, he wanted something he hadn't seen.
The old woman didn't know that Ning Cheng had such a strong memory and the ability to correct exercises, so she asked with some doubts, "You really don't want it?"
Ning Cheng said resolutely, "This junior is here to ask senior to refine the magic weapon. If you want the jade slips of exercises, you will be greedy. Please ask senior for more information."
The old woman put away the jade slip with some appreciation and asked, "Since that's the case, I won't ask you any more questions. This one-horned fire dragon has just been promoted to the fourth level, and you can get this thing with just gathering energy , it’s really not that simple. Also, are Jiaopi and Jiaodan with you?”
Ning Cheng didn't hesitate, he took out the jiao skin and piled it in the room and said, "I didn't find the jiao dan."
The old woman's eyes showed some surprises. She didn't continue to check the Jiaopi, and didn't even ask about Jiaodan, but asked directly, "What do you want to refine?"
"I want to refine a thin-needle magic weapon with a concealment effect, the thinner the better, and at the same time, this thin needle needs to have an ice-type attack method, it can..." Ning Cheng was no longer polite, he guessed that the old woman should be a A simple person simply stated all the characteristics of the Qiyao Ice Needle.
"You want to refine Qiyao Ice Needle? You, a Qi Gathering cultivator, actually have such a mysterious spell? It seems that you have a lot of secrets." The old woman looked at Ning Cheng meaningfully and said.
Ning Cheng subconsciously shuddered, this old woman is so powerful, even the Qiyao Ice Needle knows it. If she knew that she had the Xuanhuang Pearl, wouldn't she be courting death?
Seeing Ning Cheng's worried look, the old woman smiled slightly and said, "Although the mysterious spells are good, I don't care about them. But if you use the horns of the one-horned dragon to refine the Qiyao Ice Needle, you can even refine it." , the effect is not satisfactory. The material of this one-horned dragon is of great use to me. I have a tail needle of a fourth-level shadowless bee, which is suitable for refining needle-shaped instruments. Why don't I refine the tail needle of this shadowless bee into a Seven Luminaries Ice Needle, and how about exchanging your materials for the One-Horned Dragon?"
As soon as Ning Cheng heard it, he knew that he must be at a disadvantage, but he said without even thinking about it, "But according to the senior's order, this junior only needs a seven-light ice needle."
The old woman nodded, obviously satisfied with Ning Cheng's attitude, and said immediately, "Although I am not a craftsman, I am an alchemist. If you have any pills that need to be refined, you can come to me. At least Within a year, I will not leave Nanyuan City."
Ning Cheng was ecstatic in his heart when he heard this, he never thought that this old woman was also an alchemist. When he first heard the news, he almost asked the old woman to refine Qi Gathering Pill. But in the end Ning Cheng still held back his thoughts, he felt that even if he wanted to ask the old woman to refine the Qi Gathering Pill, he couldn't do it now, at least he had to wait until he got the Qiyao Ice Needle.
"Of course, you can make alchemy for you. You need to bring your own spiritual herbs. I am an old woman, and I don't go out. I don't have any spiritual herbs for you." After receiving the jiaojiao and jiaopi from Ningcheng, the old woman's attitude changed drastically.
Ning Cheng knew that although he had the Golden Cicada Fruit, to refine the Qi Gathering Pill, he needed ten or twenty kinds of spiritual herbs. In the short term, he couldn't gather these spiritual herbs at all, so it can be seen that it is unrealistic to find this old woman to make alchemy.
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng said hastily, "May I ask if you have any jade slips and introductions for alchemy, senior. If there is, I would like to borrow it to have a look."
"You want to learn alchemy." The old woman immediately understood Ning Cheng's thoughts, and asked in disbelief.
Ning Cheng scratched his hair in embarrassment and said, "Yes, if I can make alchemy myself, it will save me a lot of trouble in the future?"
For the first time, the corner of the old woman's mouth showed a smile, Ning Cheng could tell that although the old woman was not laughing at him, the meaning was not much different from ridicule.
"Throughout the ages, ninety-nine out of ten monks want to make alchemy by themselves, but those who can become alchemists are rare. In addition to talent and perseverance, alchemy requires a chance. Even if you have pure spiritual roots, even if your perseverance is amazing , without a chance, you can't become an alchemist." The old woman said later, her tone was a little lonely, as if she was sighing for herself.
Ning Cheng knew that the opportunity was right in front of him, so he no longer cared about exposing his tail, and said eagerly, "This junior is confident that he can become an alchemy master, and this junior doesn't need senior's teaching, as long as the senior can give this junior an introductory alchemy slip." .”
