My cultivation is too warm

Chapter 11 Alchemy Inheritance
On the way, Xu Mo asked Sanyuan Zhenren with some curiosity:
"I have heard that this Jade Water Heart Lotus is the main ingredient for refining a medicine called 'Ji Bo Qing Xin Dan'.

That elixir was of the fourth grade, while the Green Water Heart Lotus was only a second grade elixir.

Can a second-grade elixir be used as the main ingredient for a fourth-grade elixir?
From my impression, it seems that the main spiritual medicine is usually of the same grade as the elixir, or maybe one or two grades higher, right?"

Upon hearing this, Sanyuan Zhenren looked at Xu Mo in surprise, with a strange expression on his face, "Who told you that?"

Xu Mo looked confused, "Isn't it?"

"Of course not." Sanyuan Zhenren shook his head and responded in a firm tone.

Then he said:

"The art of alchemy emphasizes 'principle' and 'qi'.

The so-called principle is the law of operation of the universe.

Qi represents various elixirs.

The job of an alchemist is to combine the energy of the elixir itself with the principles of heaven and earth.

The grade of a spiritual medicine is like the cultivation level of a cultivator. It only represents its own strength and has no direct relationship with the grade of the elixir.

It should be noted that many ninth-grade or even higher-grade elixirs also use many first-grade spiritual medicines.

Because the aura of each elixir is unique.

If it is a first-grade spiritual medicine, it can only be used to refine first-grade spiritual pills. If it is a second-grade spiritual medicine, it can only be used to refine second-grade spiritual pills.

"If that's the case, what do we alchemists need? Can't we just take the spiritual medicine cultivated by your spiritual plant masters and eat it?"

Xu Mo only had a vague understanding of the "reason" and "qi" mentioned by Sanyuan Zhenren.

However, he still roughly understood the logic behind it.

He nodded in sudden realization and replied, "I see. I am ignorant."

Sanyuan Zhenren didn't care about it and continued chatting casually with Xu Mo.

After the two of them visited the ruins and cave, their relationship became much closer.

Although Sanyuan Zhenren is much older, more advanced, and has a higher status than Xu Mo.

But he himself is not arrogant.

In him, Xu Mo did not feel the sense of class where the strong are respected as described in the immortal cultivation novels of his previous life.

He is like an ordinary but knowledgeable, experienced and caring elder.

He answered all of Xu Mo's questions.

From him, Xu Mo learned a lot of information that he had never known before.

It contains local customs and practices, as well as some interesting stories circulating among monks.

In short, Xu Mo felt relaxed and happy along the way and gained a lot.

During this period, Xu Mo talked about how he originally wanted to become an alchemist.

However, due to the popularity of Danxia Peak, there were too many students who signed up, and my qualifications were average, so I was worried that I would not be able to pass the assessment.

That's why I chose Lingmiao Peak to become a spiritual plant master.

However, if in the future, there is a descendant among my descendants with decent qualifications.

I must let him choose to become an alchemist and fulfill his dream.

When Sanyuan Zhenren heard Xu Mo say this, he laughed.

They bluntly said that their Danxia Peak had missed a disciple with excellent comprehension, and that the old stubborn Elder Ouyang had taken advantage of him.

Xu Molian said he didn't dare, and modestly said that he was still far from it.

……

Time passed slowly as the two of them talked.

Xu Mo felt that not much time had passed before they returned to Tianxuan Sect.

Afterwards, he followed Sanyuan Zhenren to Danxia Peak.

The next thing they had to do was to plant the Green Water Heart Lotus they brought out from the ruins cave on Danxia Peak.

After Xu Mo walked out of Sanyuan Zhenren’s flying boat.

I looked at the scenery of Danxia Peak with curiosity. The most eye-catching thing in Danxia Peak is the fiery red trees on the top of the mountain.

Whenever the sun sets, the trees will be connected with the sunset glow on the horizon.

It gives people the feeling that the sunset in the sky is falling into the mortal world.

When people step into the Danxia Peak, the light and pleasant fragrance of Danxia in the air will flow into the tip of the nose, making people feel relaxed.

Under the guidance of Sanyuan Zhenren, Xu Mo came to a lake.

This is what Sanyuan Zhenren prepared to use to plant the Green Water Heart Lotus.

The difficulty of growing the Green Water Heart Lotus is even greater than when they were taken out from the ruins cave.

However, Xu Mo and Sanyuan Zhenren had already cooperated once before.

After witnessing the level of Master Xu Mo's spiritual plant.

Sanyuan Zhenren finally understood why an old stubborn man like Elder Ouyang valued Xu Mo so much.

Although Xu Mo looks young, his level as a spiritual plant master has definitely reached the third level.

In fact, if it were not limited by the cultivation level, it might even be higher.

The reason why he is not famous in the sect is simply because Xu Mo did not determine his grade.

But this is normal, although spiritual plant masters have the same grade system as alchemists.

However, it is rather troublesome to identify, as there are many items that need to be assessed.

Unlike alchemists, they only need to refine pills of corresponding grades.

What's more, spiritual plant masters are naturally indifferent, and most of them will not participate in grade certification unless it is necessary.

In short, now that I have seen the level of Master Xu Mo's spiritual plant.

Sanyuan Zhenren trusted him even more than the last time they worked together.

The cooperation between the two has become more tacit and smooth.

It only took about a day.

With Sanyuan Zhenren wholeheartedly helping Xu Mo.

This batch of Green Water Heart Lotus brought out from the ruins cave was finally successfully transplanted.

Afterwards, Sanyuan Zhenren said to Xu Mo, who had taken the elixir and was sitting cross-legged on the ground to recover:

"Thank you for your hard work, Xu Xiaoyou."

Xu Mo waved his hand and responded: "Finally, I have lived up to your trust."

Sanyuan Zhenren nodded and said, "The work has been completed. Now it's time to discuss the reward. I wonder what you need, Mr. Xu?"
As long as it is reasonable, everything will satisfy you."

Xu Mo's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, "Is there a reward?"

Sanyuan Zhenren smiled dumbly, "Of course I have. I can't let you make a wasted trip, can I?"

Xu Mo hesitated a little, "But Elder Ouyang has given me a task, Master..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Sanyuan Zhenren:
"You're the one who's doing this for me, and Elder Ouyang has already given me instructions. I can just give you the reward directly."

"But the disciples in that relic cave before..."

"Those are your own gains and have nothing to do with compensation."

Hearing this, Xu Mo stopped refusing, but he thought for a moment and couldn't figure out what he wanted.

After all, he had never thought about the reward before, and now he was practicing peacefully with Elder Ouyang and living a good life.

If you are just helping to transplant spiritual plants, it is not appropriate to ask for excessively high compensation.

For a moment, he was a little troubled.

Seeing Xu Mo's distressed look, Sanyuan Zhenren lowered his head, pondered for a moment and said:

"I heard you say before that you once dreamed of becoming an alchemist.

How about this, as a reward for your efforts this time, I will give you a copy of my Danxia Peak's basic alchemy inheritance.

I wonder what you think, my friend?"
