In the south of the North City, there is a huge manor with nearly a hundred exquisite buildings standing in it.
This manor is Ruyizong's residence at the foot of the mountain, which is specially used to entertain guests.
Lu Fan, Li Jianxi and others were temporarily arranged in this manor.
In order to commend him and Li Jianxi for their outstanding soul power, Hall Master Liu specially arranged a separate big house for each of them.
As for the remaining four people, they live in another big house.
At this time, in a certain building on the left side of the manor, Lu Fan was sitting cross-legged on a soft bed.
In front of him, there were three jade slips.
One of them was the eighth-grade alchemy given to him by shopkeeper Wan.
He has already firmly remembered this technique.
However, the eighth-rank alchemy is extremely complicated, and he has only mastered the theory. If he wants to truly become an eighth-rank alchemist, he must be able to successfully refine the eighth-rank alchemy.
However, every eighth-grade elixir involves hundreds of herbs.
This requires the alchemist to be very familiar with the medicinal properties of these herbs. Only after this step can he decide the order of adding these herbs, as well as the refining time and refining temperature of each herb according to the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint of their medicinal properties.
However, in the Jade Slip of the Eighth Grade Alchemy Technique, it only introduces the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint of herbs, and how to use these principles to refine hundreds of different herbs into eighth grade pills with magical effects.
As for the properties, appearance, year and other knowledge of each herb, it will not be recorded in alchemy, and all these need to be learned by the alchemist from other places.
Before this, Lu Fan had never obtained such a professional alchemy technique, so his alchemy technique was still a lot worse than that of a professional alchemist.
On the other hand, the properties of medicinal herbs he knows are pitifully small.
Although he was able to refine seventh-grade pills, he could only refine a few kinds. In addition, the large medicinal herbs he cultivated have full medicinal properties, which also gave him a lot of help.
Without these great medicinal materials, it would be even more difficult for him to successfully refine the seventh-grade elixir.
"What I lack is the understanding of the properties of various herbs, as well as professional alchemy techniques, that is, the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint between herbs.
As long as I can supplement this knowledge, plus my soul power and real fire, I will definitely be able to reach the level of an eighth-rank alchemist in a short period of time.
According to the information I inquired about, Hall Master Liu and others will still be presiding over the first round of assessment tomorrow. After the first round of assessment is over, Ruyizong will let all alchemists who passed the assessment take a day off, so that everyone has time to review alchemy.
Therefore, I still have two days to prepare. Two days, although a bit tense, is enough to raise my level of alchemy to another level. "Lu Fan's eyes flickered slightly, thinking in his heart.
As for the jade slip in the middle, it was an important item that Hall Master Liu specially distributed to the six of them before leaving.
Every alchemist who passed the examination will get the same jade slip.
In this jade slip, the properties of 50,000 medicinal herbs are recorded.
This is very important for alchemists like them.
At the same time, it is also something that Lu Fan urgently needs.
As long as he can memorize the properties of these fifty thousand kinds of herbs, plus the eighth-rank alchemy, then he will definitely become a real eighth-rank alchemist.
"It seems that Ruyizong attaches great importance to this alchemy conference, otherwise, they would never be able to present such important things.
It's a pity that alchemy is not the specialty of Ruyizong, so they can only come up with 50,000 kinds of medicinal herb attributes. If it is within the Medicine Sect, it is definitely more than this number. "
Lu Fan looked at the jade slip in the middle and murmured.
As for the quaint jade slip on the far side, it was the "soul swallowing technique" he got from Zhou Qing.
He has achieved a little success in this technique.
In addition, he learned from the exercises that the soul power devoured by the "soul-swallowing technique" from the enemy's sea of ??consciousness can only be kept for twelve hours. Once the time is up, the devoured soul power will disappear. Cannot be turned into used.
However, for Lu Fan, the situation is different.
Because of his own soul power, he already has the ability to devour the soul power of outsiders.
As long as he uses the "soul swallowing technique" to swallow the soul power of outsiders into his own sea of ??consciousness, then he can transform a small part of it into his own soul power.
According to his estimation, this small part is only about one-tenth.
That is to say, he can swallow one-tenth of the external soul power that has entered his own sea of ??consciousness, and transform it into his own soul power.
Although it can only convert one-tenth of it, this is already very unnatural, and Lu Fan is also very satisfied.
For Zhou Qing, the "Soul Swallowing Technique" can only be regarded as a means of sneak attack.
But for Lu Fan, it is a very important technique, which can really improve Lu Fan's soul power.
After sorting out the clues of these things, he put away the jade slips of "soul swallowing technique" and "eighth grade alchemy technique".
He has firmly imprinted the words in these two jade slips in his sea of ??consciousness, and he no longer needs these two jade slips.
Only the medicinal herb jade slips remained on the ground.
Next, he plans to spend a period of time to fully grasp the contents of the herb jade slip.
Although there are only 50,000 kinds of medicinal herbs recorded in the medicinal herb jade slips.
However, there are almost a dozen types of attributes for each herb, and there are even hundreds of attributes for some high-level herbs.
Calculated in this way, the attributes of 50,000 herbs are enough to reach millions.
It is by no means an easy task to memorize these 50,000 kinds of herbs and fully grasp their millions of attributes. Even if Lu Fan has super strong soul power, it will take a lot of time.
After making an arrangement in his mind, Lu Fan closed his eyes and began to adjust his breath.
He wants to make himself in the best condition before learning these medicinal herbs
Outside the window, it was already dark.
The three buildings where they lived were silent, and the surroundings were also quiet.
Obviously, after everyone got the medicinal herb jade slips, they must have been studying the medicinal herbs in the jade slips seriously.
This is also the benefit of those alchemists who are eager to pass the assessment in the first batch.
However, among the six of them, one was not in the manor.
That person was Zhou Qing.
At this time, he was rushing to a hidden place outside the North City.
After Lu Fan spared him, he restored half of his soul power as promised.
As long as he has this half of the soul power, Zhou Qing can activate his own sea of ??consciousness, condense new soul power, until the soul power in the sea of ??consciousness is fully restored.
However, the previous injuries still had a certain impact on him.
In the future, if he wants to improve his soul power, it may become very difficult.
He hurriedly walked, and when he came to the secret place, he stopped. At the same time, he also emitted his spiritual sense and looked around.
After a few breaths, displeasure appeared on his face.
"Why haven't those guys arrived yet?" He murmured unhappily.
He took time out specifically to meet outsiders.
After a few more breaths, there was still no movement around.
Zhou Qing was a little impatient.
You know, Lu Fan and others are racing against time to learn the knowledge of medicinal herbs, but he ran outside, wasting a lot of precious time.
After scanning around with his spiritual sense, there was still no figure, so he didn't wait any longer, turned around directly, and wanted to go back.
Just at this moment, several figures suddenly appeared behind him.
"Why are you here now? I have been waiting for you for half an hour!" Zhou Qing spotted them immediately.
These people were all dressed in gray cloaks, which covered their whole bodies and even their heads, with only two cold pupils exposed.
After they showed up, they dispersed in all directions, vigilantly observing the movement around them, leaving only the two leaders behind.
The two leaders are one tall and one short.
They also stared at a pair of sinister pupils, and there was a terrifying fluctuation in their cultivation.
Zhou Qing's complexion changed slightly, and he hurriedly stepped back a few steps.
"Actually, we have arrived a long time ago, but for the sake of safety, we observed in the dark for a while." The tall man said in a hoarse voice.
"After all, this is the Ruyi Sect's territory, we must be careful, and I hope Mr. Zhou will forgive me!" The short man beside him had a soft tone, and he bowed his hands to Zhou Qing. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
