Deduct 1 for merit. I am really not a child of luck.

Chapter 189: Three Transformations and One Refining! The Great Way of True Fire! (Subscribe)
Lin Mo scratched his head: "..."

Refining all things, becoming immortal with one pill!
This declaration is indeed very domineering.

However, there is no one in Diyuan Jiuzhou who can ascend to become an immortal now, so the empty talk of "one pill to become an immortal" may be able to fool children.

It's somewhat insufficient to fool Lin Mo.

But to be honest, alchemy is really profitable, as can be seen from this incredibly expensive recipe.

I didn't notice it just now, but even Dean Dai's wooden table is full of spiritual charm and is definitely not an ordinary item.

Lin Mo reasonably suspected that even the medicinal residue discarded casually in the corner was worth a lot of money.

Therefore, even though he had no interest in alchemy, Lin Mo still clapped his hands and said, "External alchemy is indeed of infinite use. Not only can it cure the dead and whiten bones, it can also prove the way to immortality!"

Dean Dai & Mu Kongqing: "..."

It seemed a bit perfunctory... Lin Mo stopped slapping him awkwardly.

Mu Kongqing also coughed and said:

"Junior Brother Lin Mo, before you had your epiphany, I already knew the basics of refining. Now it's time to teach you the real refining method!"

Lin Mo didn't care about the other party's abrupt turn and said:
"Big Brother, I think this refining method should be a secret of the Alchemy Academy. Isn't it inconvenient to teach it to a disciple from the outer academy like me so easily?"

Originally, I learned the refining method in order to make money to settle accounts with Chu Wange.

The unexpected surprise was that learning the refining method was also beneficial to the use of the [Lihuo Divine Power], and it even triggered the first epiphany in his life, and he realized the secret method of Dao Fire Transformation.

But if you want to continue learning...

Wouldn’t it be easy to become a real Dan cultivator then?
He glanced at the man in front of him, who was considered the most talented third-generation leader in the Alchemy Academy in the past hundred years. The two strands of hair on his head were too conspicuous.

Lin Mo imagined himself without hair on his head. His 95-point appearance would drop by at least 5 points, right?

Emm...there is a risk of falling below 90 points in appearance.

Moreover, except for the fact that the teacher is almost non-existent, the other parts of the fortune teller profession are quite good.

Especially the magical powers of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, which are simply the magical powers and secret techniques that practitioners dream of.

With only two magical powers unlocked, his combat power has reached such an exaggerated level. I dare not imagine how terrifying it would be if all eight magical powers were unlocked.

He originally thought that the old man's talk about natural spiritual roots and mutated spiritual roots was nothing but nonsense.

I didn’t expect that I wasn’t bragging!

Therefore, there is no need for him to change his allegiance. There is nothing wrong with being a half-immortal.

However, he did not expect that his refusal did not stop the two people in front of him from giving up the idea of ​​preaching.

Dean Dai, in particular, said with a smile:
"No problem. I am the head of Qingshan Sect's external alchemy. I will teach anyone I want. Although Lin's major is not alchemy, no one says that you can't practice external alchemy as a minor."

Mu Kongqing said quickly:
"That's right. Even if Waidan is taken as a secondary training, it is still a very good profession."

“Junior Brother Lin, you can imagine that alchemy can not only enhance your control over fire-related magical powers, but also bring you a good income.”

"Just like this time, if I had learned the refining method earlier, I could have made money earlier!"

One yard owned by a yard!
Lin Mo was not brainwashed by Mu Kongqing.

If you really enter the Dan Academy, you will really be short of money.

According to Zhuang Weiwan, the medicinal materials extracted every month are not enough for himself.

If you want to get on the list, you need to pay your fellow disciples to help you refine the herbs and complete these basic processes.

The wasted pills refined in the early stages, the medicinal materials that failed to be refined...these are all costs.

Otherwise, how could Senior Sister Zhuang, a famous wealthy woman in the Alchemy Academy, only save up a few thousand low-grade spirit stones in six years?

Compared with students from other departments, he is indeed extremely rich.

But the expenses are also outrageous!

Maybe, in the first few years, the income was not enough to cover the expenses, and in the next few years, you will have to pay back the debts like Pan Peng.

The volume is just a superficial phenomenon. The deeper contradiction is that alchemists earn a lot but also spend a lot.

Besides, their fellow disciples around them are all competing, so how can they not compete?

Lin Mo was silent for a moment, then said, "That I..."

"Junior Brother Lin, I remember that the medicinal materials extracted before seemed to come from me..."

Mu Kongqing interrupted him.

Although he was still smiling, there was a hint of something else behind it.

Threat, Chi Guoguo’s threat!
Lin Mo's eyes widened. He really didn't expect that the "almost extremely smart" senior brother was actually waiting for him here.

Okay, this one with thick eyebrows and big eyes...

He was extremely shocked and lamented that the sect was treacherous and people's hearts were no longer the same as before.

In fact, the price of the medicinal materials he refined was not high, but he was afraid that the other party would take the opportunity to ask for more "chips".

For example, the storage ring in Lin Mo's hand, and the Dao Fire insights that the senior brother had sent over before...

If we count them one by one, it seems that the contribution points will not be limited to a few thousand.

After Lin Mo pondered for a moment, he finally chose to give in and raised his hand and said:
"I've thought about it. The path of alchemy is full of mysteries. If I can learn even a little bit of it, it will be of great benefit. If Dean Dai is willing to teach me, Lin Mo will be very grateful!"

Dean Dai finally showed a satisfied look on his face: "This boy is teachable!"

Mu Kongqing also showed the same expression: "This young man is teachable! Junior Brother Lin, you can call me teacher now!"

Lin Mo raised his hand: "Dai, Teacher Dai!"

Dean Dai looked even more satisfied, but suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed, and he raised his hand and said:
"Wait, since you have a master, I think it's inappropriate to call me teacher directly. Um...how about this, you can just call me dean."

"From now on, we can just be a pair of fake master and disciple, 'master and disciple in reality, but not in name.'"

Mu Kongqing, who was standing next to him, heard this and looked at his teacher. The latter shook his head slightly at him, and he understood.

Lin Mo was a little puzzled, but he didn't say much, and said:
"Okay, Dean Dai."

Dean Dai nodded, and then said:

"Okay, now that everything is settled, let's get started."

"Start, start what?"

"Or what else can it be? To preach, to impart knowledge, to resolve doubts!"

Dean Dai said as a matter of course:
"But my time is limited. Let's try to learn the most basic Taoist method of alchemy, the method of refining, within a month. No, let's learn it in ten days!" Lin Mo asked doubtfully: "The method of refining? Don't I already know it?"

Mu Kongqing stepped forward at the right time to explain:

“Junior Brother Lin, what you have learned before is just the basics of refining, but the real method of refining is a magical secret method.”

"It's called: Three Transformations and One Refining."

Why not call it one lesson one exercise?
Lin Mo complained in his heart.

Mu Kongqing seemed to see Lin Mo's doubts and added:
"Actually, it shouldn't be called this name. The original name should be: Eighty-one Turns of True Fire!"

"When you reach a high level of cultivation, you can refine everything for your own use."

"It's just that the threshold for cultivation is too high, so my teacher and I have come up with a solution in recent years to break it down into basic version, advanced version, and complete version."

"This [Three Turns and One Refining] is the basic version that foundation-building disciples can practice. There are also advanced versions such as [Nine Turns], [Eighteen Turns], [Thirty-six Turns], etc. However, one needs to reach the Golden Core Stage to practice it."

It seems... the original name is not that good.

Lin Mo didn't say this out loud.

Dean Dai raised his chin slightly, stood up and said:
"This magical power is the essence of what I have learned throughout my life. After eighty-one revolutions, the Dao fire has changed from the outer truth to the inner truth, and from the acquired to the innate. They have merged into one and are no longer ordinary fire."

Lin Mo was confused: "I still don't understand, what is the difference between this true fire and Tao fire and strange fire? What is the function of each?"

Logically speaking, since his Dao Fire contains spiritual fire of heavenly grade, it should not be considered ordinary fire, right?
Dean Dai said:
"This ordinary fire is not that ordinary fire. The ordinary fire I just referred to is the acquired fire."

“No matter how many different fire objects the acquired fire has refined, it is still tangible and limited after all. The innate fire is invisible and infinite. It is the true fire of God, which can reach the sky and refine all things!”

The more Lin Mo listened, the more he felt that this true fire was an amazing Taoist magical power, so he asked curiously: "Can this three transformations and one refining condense true fire?"

Dean Dai frowned and said, "Young man, don't be too ambitious!"

Huh? Why did your attitude suddenly change?

When Lin Mo was confused, he heard Senior Brother Mu Kongqing say:
"Junior Brother Lin, you are really overthinking this. The Three Transformations and One Refining are just basic magical powers, designed to allow disciples to enter the door earlier."

“And even the eighty-first turn of true fire can only condense a trace of true fire.”

“Even so, this magical power is already a heavenly-level magical power. In the circle of alchemy practitioners, it is definitely one of the top magical powers. You must not underestimate it.”

Heavenly level magical power!
Lin Mo suddenly understood. If he had said this earlier, the matter would have been settled.

He didn't understand much of the explanation just now. It would be more intuitive to explain it using the levels of magical powers.

Dean Dai also found that he was talking at cross purposes.

Lin Mo has good talent, but he has never even completed the novice mission of the Alchemy Academy. In terms of alchemy knowledge, he is a complete blank slate and is even worse than ordinary alchemy disciples.

"It seems that you, Mr. Lin, still have a lot to learn. How about this, you stay here until the season leaderboard is settled."

Dean Dai smiled and said, "As the dean, I will personally teach you the basics of Dan Xiu Yi!"

Lin Mo looked at the other person's expression, and suddenly his body trembled, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

……

……

Luoxing Peak, in the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain.

The candle flame, which seemed to be frozen in time, trembled slightly, and the next second, a figure appeared on the cushion.

"Oh, it finally came out!"

A sweet female voice sounded in the temple, breaking the deathly silence of the mountain.

The woman in colorful clothes looked around, and then she saw a lion cat suddenly jump out from behind the Taoist temple platform and rush into her arms.

"Meow~"

After an intimate call, he rubbed his head against the woman's hand vigorously, followed by a series of "gurgling" sounds.

"Haha, little dumpling, you're not dead yet!"

The woman touched its head lovingly, then said suspiciously:
"Something's wrong. Have you been touched by anyone else?"

"Gulu gulu gulu~"

"Hey, he should be very beautiful, let me take a look..."

As the woman spoke, she took out a sparkling crystal ball from her arms.

The next second, a handsome and tall figure appeared in the mirror image of the ball...

"Wow, we actually have a new junior brother in our lineage. Haha, the sect has finally found its successor!"

The woman's eyes, sparkling with the colors of glass, lit up slightly and said:

"My little junior brother is so handsome, no wonder you took the initiative to rub against him, you little pervert!"

"Let me see. I have good luck, heavenly water, strange fire, and consecutive victories in the sword arena..."

"Tsk tsk, that's a lot of winning streak, almost more than Ninth Senior Brother, but still a lot less than me, hehe!"

"No, the master finally accepted a little apprentice, and as a senior sister, I must go and meet him, don't you think so, little dumpling?"

The woman muttered to herself as she stood up and tried to walk out of the Taoist temple.

Before he had even stepped half a step out of the Taoist temple, he was hit by a powerful recoil force that knocked him back onto the temple's cushion.

"Ouch, oooooooo, my butt hurts!"

She covered her buttocks in pain and rolled on the ground twice before sitting up again. She seemed to remember something and a trace of loss appeared on her face. She slapped her forehead:
“I almost forgot, I’m dead.

The lion cat named Xiaotuanzi rubbed the back of her hand affectionately, as if to comfort her.

"Meow~"

If there were someone around at this moment, and they observed carefully, they would definitely find that the woman's form seemed to be there and not there, like a phantom.

The behavior of the lion cat rubbing the back of the hand seems to be the intersection of the virtual and the real.

The woman didn't care about it. She quickly showed a bright smile on her face, "rubbed" the lion cat's head, and said:

"Hehe, it's okay. I won't go out. Junior Brother will come back eventually."

"It's decided. I'll wait here for my junior brother to return to the mountain!"
