The First Saint of Dan Dao

Chapter 191: Supreme Heart Method?

Tang Yan thought for a moment and replied, "The reason why the Fire Cloud Pill you refined failed to fully activate its medicinal effect is because the 'Fire Root' herb was not completely dissolved.

'Flame Root' plays a vital role in the Fire Cloud Pill, which is equivalent to a fuel contained in the pill.

If you can extend the time of extracting the Flame Root for a little longer and extract it more times, the effect will be better.

Not all elixirs need to be refined within two quarters of an hour. The nature of the Fiery Root is fire, so it can withstand refining."

"Huh?" Upon hearing Tang Yanzhen's explanation, Zhen Lao was stunned.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of this!" Old Huo slapped his thigh and suddenly realized.

It turns out that the problem that has been bothering me is so simple!

"Old Master Huo is a fourth-level top alchemist. He will definitely find the reason with time." Tang Yan comforted.

Old Huo looked at Tang Yan with complicated eyes. The indifferent aura emanating from this little guy actually made him feel powerless.

Tang Yan has shown amazing alchemy skills since he started making pills. Now he can tell the crux of Huoyun Pill at once. How rich is his experience? Huo Lao couldn't figure it out for a while.

Can I really teach such a monster?

"This medicine..." Tang Yan handed the porcelain bottle back.

"Forget it, I'll give you this pill." Old Huo waved his hand. Tang Yan had helped him so much, so he might as well give him the pill as a favor.

"Then thank you, Master Huo!" Tang Yan bowed his hands in thanks. Although this Fire Cloud Pill has some flaws, he is unable to refine a fourth-level pill now, so he might as well keep it for himself.

"Since you don't want to learn alchemy from me, I won't force you. If you have any questions about alchemy in the future, feel free to discuss them with me."

"Thank you, Mr. Huo." Tang Yan hurriedly thanked him.

After discussing some difficult problems in refining the formation with the formation master, Tang Yan bid farewell to the two elders.

After Tang Yan left, Zhen Lao asked, "Old Huo, Tang Yan's alchemy skills are not low, right?"

Huo Lao did not rush to answer. He pondered for a while before sighing and saying, "Alchemy is a very rigorous, boring and long process. The slightest mistake may affect the efficacy of the elixir.

This mistake may be due to distraction when refining the elixir, unfamiliarity with the process of refining a new elixir, or a lack of solid basic skills.

Our academy also has quite a few third-level alchemists. Although they have reached the third level, in my eyes they still have many loopholes and have a long way to go.

However, during Tang Yan's elixir-making process, even if I wanted to find fault with him, I couldn't find anything wrong from beginning to end.

He handled even the smallest details very well, even better than I did.

And he was able to point out the problem with the Fire Cloud Pill that I was refining in just one sentence. Without rich experience and a skilled eye, it would have been impossible to do that.

I had always wanted to take him in as my apprentice, but now it seems that I really can’t teach him anything.

This kid is really something. If he had shown me his level earlier, why would I even think about taking him in as my apprentice? "

Hearing his old friend's comments, Zhen Lao's eyes flashed with shock. He thought he had overestimated Tang Yan, but he didn't expect Huo Lao's evaluation of Tang Yan to be higher than he expected!

After a long while, Master Zhen finally laughed and said, "What a monster, but it's good this way, I don't have to worry about someone snatching my students away."

"You got it easy." Huo Lao yelled in dissatisfaction: "Continue playing chess, I'm about to win this game..."

……

Tang Yan left the formation pavilion and walked on the road in deep thought.

The freshman competition is just a few days away. The top players in the other three districts have all reached the Earth level. Although I have a trump card, who wouldn't have a few hidden talents to be able to enter Qinglong Academy and become the top player in a district?

There is still a big gap in strength between me and them.

Although the speed of cultivation in the Nine Nether Sea of Fire would be much faster, it would be too late to reach the Earth Level before the competition.

I don't care about the star value or the ranking, but the number of star dormitories that students in the entire East District can live in depends on my ranking.

At this moment he was no longer fighting for himself, but behind him were countless East District students.

Tang Yan is not a coward. Although the opponents in the other three districts are very strong, Tang Yan has never thought of giving up.

He knew that no one really thought highly of him. Even if he ranked last, it was understandable to many people and no one would blame him.

But the pride in his bones prevented him from giving up with peace of mind.

The universe is uncertain, you and I are both dark horses!

However, the gap between the realms is so great that it makes people despair...

Just when Tang Yan was feeling distressed, he suddenly slapped his head and thought, how could the hell he forget about this!

Ziyun had given me a set of exercises for cultivating qi and blood before. Because I was in seclusion at the time, I hadn't had time to practice them. If I could practice "Changing Pulse Qi" in the next few days, wouldn't it be an extra layer of protection?

Originally planning to go to the Nine Nether Sea of Fire to practice, Tang Yan changed direction and walked towards the outskirts of Qinglong Courtyard.

There are many buildings inside Qinglong Academy, covering a large area. The surrounding area of the academy is mountainous, without deliberate design, and is an excellent place for cultivation.

After finding an empty area, Tang Yan stopped, stood there, closed his eyes, and carefully recalled the formula of "Changing Pulse Qi".

"Stimulate the potential of blood and energy, and instantly burst out several times the strength..." Tang Yan's brows furrowed more and more as he tried to figure out the meaning of the formula word by word.

This mantra is obscure and difficult to understand, and I don’t know where to start practicing it.

If Tang Yan knew that no one in Zizhu City could successfully cultivate Qi Meridians, I wonder what he would feel.

It's not Zi Yun's fault that she tricked Tang Yan. No one knows where the senior from Zizhu City got this set of mental skills, and it has been passed down to this day.

Although it was regarded as a top-notch mental method by the predecessors, no one has been able to practice it successfully for many years, so until now, basically no one is interested in it.

This time, because Tang Yan saved Zi Yun's life, the favor was too great, and a small gift of thanks would be inappropriate. If it was too large, it would involve the secret of Zizhu City. After high-level discussions, they finally gave away this set of useless skills.

Although Ziyun objected again and again, she had no choice but to do as her family wished. She planned to compensate Tang Yan with something suitable in the future.

Of course, Tang Yan was not clear about these things.

At this moment, Tang Yan was still standing in the same place, completely immersed in the understanding of the mental method of changing meridians and qi.

After all, he was a ninth-level alchemist in the past, and whether it was talent or knowledge, Tang Yan had a unique advantage. Even so, after two hours, Tang Yan still had nothing.

"That shouldn't be the case. It says that the Qi is used as a guide, and after forming seals one after another, the Qi changes..."

Tang Yan frowned even more tightly: "No, it seems very logical at first glance, but how can we generate enough true energy at the beginning?"

As if he had found a glimmer of hope, Tang Yan recalled the formula from the beginning again.

This time, Tang Yan finally knew where the problem lay.
