Zhang Cheng practiced alchemy at the "Xuelu Garden" under the "Danfang" in the town, where all apprentices studied medicinal materials, pharmacology, elixirs and elixirs with their master Dantong. After becoming proficient, the alchemist will become an alchemist and start doing odd jobs.

After being promoted to alchemist, Zhang Cheng transferred to "Lingmiao Garden", which is where the alchemist makes daily alchemy. He now has two elixir boys who can apply for a batch of medicinal materials every month. In addition to completing the designated elixirs that must be submitted every month, the remaining time can be used to develop and try new elixir recipes.

Zhang Cheng loved alchemy.

He likes the way that all kinds of inconspicuous things, even poisons and waste materials, are boiled, dried, filtered, pounded and ground, and finally turned into pills in the alchemy furnace. Anything that seems ordinary may be an indispensable part of a certain elixir.

Just like the saying among alchemists.

"Heaven and earth are alchemy furnaces, and everything can be refined."

This is the experience summed up by alchemists of all ages who have continued to explore and explore.

Heaven and earth are the best alchemy masters. People must follow heaven and earth in order to learn the natural principles of all things.

Because of this, the alchemist will walk in the wild every month, appreciate nature, mountains and seas, and inspect relics and medicinal materials, all in order to obtain new elixir recipes.

It is easy for Zhang Cheng to go out.

He was worried about his younger brother Zhang Ye.

The "metal workshop" where the alchemist worked was notoriously strict. This is also because the alchemy practiced by alchemists always involves some more dangerous operations and reactions, which must be strictly controlled.

Alchemy has a core idea - understanding, breaking down and reconstructing.

This is somewhat similar to the alchemist's Heaven and Earth Alchemy Furnace. They are easy-to-understand summaries, but they go straight to the essence through complicated phenomena.

Every time you prepare to build an alchemical device, you need to prepare and use a large amount of materials, and strictly follow the corresponding alchemical formulas and symbols.

The alchemy furnace Zhang Cheng used was an alchemical creation.

The vessel looks like an iron cauldron, but it needs to be made of high-temperature resistant volcanic clay, porcelain clay, crystal and special fine sand to create a crucible embryo. Then after shaping, the molten iron is fired, sulfur, salt, cinnabar, etc. are added, and it is repeatedly quenched and calibrated. This is called furnace cleaning.

After the furnace embryo is transformed, it needs to be soaked in the reaction tank and sealed with a layer of yellow iron sand on the outer layer. This is used to seal and let stand to avoid rust.

Then it will be handed over to those who need it.

Most of these alchemical materials are high-risk items. For example, the reaction tank is actually a highly corrosive liquid that is concentrated and purified from poisonous rain. Cinnabar and sulfur are also lethal substances, not to mention the process of firing molten iron. A slight mistake can lead to catastrophe.

Among them, the most mysterious and core step is [transformation].

Transformation is the core of alchemy, that is, through specific alchemical symbols and formula records, ordinary copper, iron and stone are converted into some non-existent materials or substances with specific auxiliary catalysts.

For example, the most critical thing in the alchemy furnace is the layer of [Fire Silver] on the outer wall. As a mysterious material transformed from alchemy, fire silver has two characteristics: first, it is very active at high temperatures, which can further concentrate the high temperature and is not easily lost; second, its temperature distribution is very uniform, making it difficult to explode the furnace.

In addition to the difficulty of asking for leave for metalworking, Zhang Cheng also had his own considerations.

His younger brother Zhang Ye has always been obsessed with alchemy. He tinkered with various materials, drew drawings, cut materials with ink lines and made various tools.

Zhang Cheng couldn't bear to interrupt his younger brother's spiritual practice.

At least wait until he becomes an alchemist before leaving. Once he leaves, Zhang Ye will never get such a good opportunity to study alchemy again.

Zhang Cheng remained stationary.

The core of the entire Jindan Kingdom's thirty-six towns is alchemy and alchemy, and the country's name is derived from these two crafts.

Jindan Kingdom takes the mountain god as its belief and national totem. The capital is built at the foot of Tianming Mountain, and Tianming Mountain is the place where the mountain god lives and cultivates.

Every year, Tianming Mountain grows a little taller, which means that the mountain god is recovering. Until Tianming Mountain towers high in the clouds and reaches the sky again, it means that the mountain god has completely recovered, and the curse of the entire world will be washed away.

On the secular level, the name of the king of Jindan Kingdom is "Feng Danzi". He is also the prophet of the gods. He is the person closest to the mountain god. He has the ability to turn mountains and seas, and is mysterious and unpredictable.

The first Old Man Mountain was created by Feng Danzi using magic to move the mountain and change its path. This is widely circulated.

In the past, no matter the mountain god, Feng Danzi or Lao Lao Shan, they were enough to make people proud.

Now these are all cast in a dark and gloomy light.

The glamorous shell of the entire world was torn apart by Powang Dan, and the bloody conspiracies and cruelty below were all laid bare before his eyes, making Zhang Cheng feel a huge pressure, fearing that he would attract the attention of Feng Danzi or even the mountain god.

He tried hard to be normal and not show any flaws.

But he still couldn't help but use Powang Dan to see the world again.

The alchemist always pursues various changes in nature, and he also wants to see the true appearance of this place.

Zhang Cheng discovered that for most people in Jindan Kingdom, the place where the monster lives is in the chest, close to the heart. It is also the location where everyone gets the divine seal.

There is no doubt that the mountain gods implanted monsters into people's bodies.

As people age, these monsters gradually mature until they finally break out of their bodies.

But what Zhang Cheng couldn't figure out was that he didn't feel the existence of monsters inside his body at all, and he had never heard anyone say that there was something crawling around in his stomach and chest.

Why is this?

After patiently observing, he found that the monster was different from what he thought. It had an oval and irregular head, and some strangely shaped blocky bodies. They didn't seem to be bunched up with each other.

However, Zhang Cheng reacted quickly.

That monster... is human internal organs!

The human internal organs are awakened by the divine seal and become a monster inside the body!

Zhang Cheng felt a chill on his back.

What the mountain god wants is everyone's internal organs...so they use people to nourish these organs.

The entire Jindan Kingdom is the mountain god’s pasture for human animals.

This terrible secret made him sleepless and unable to tell anyone.

Just as he was getting thinner and feeling uneasy, he suddenly heard a rumor.

The alchemist who returned from an outing said that he saw Monk Qing haunting the nearby mountains from a distance and knocking wooden fish.

Monk Qing is said to be a rural hermit who has lived for hundreds of years. He is also a wanted target by the Jindan Kingdom's Divine Guards. However, there is also a folk saying that this old monk is very smart and has seen through the secrets of life and death, so if you are lucky enough to meet him, you will have the opportunity to obtain the method of immortality from him.

Zhang Cheng immediately applied to Danfang to go out to look for medicine, and did not let Dantong accompany him.

He followed the direction the alchemist told him and entered the mountain.

It was still sunny in the front, but poisonous rain began to fall just after entering the mountain. Raining while the sun was shining was already a common sight in the mountains.

The poisonous rain fell like oil on the ground, and Zhang Cheng hurriedly ran to a mountain rock to take shelter while holding a thousand-layer umbrella.

Although he was wearing the medicine-gathering clothes provided by Danfang, with thick linen on the outside and pigskin armor on the inside, and it was wrapped tightly, there was still a risk after getting wet.

Zhang Cheng covered his face with a medicinal cloth to avoid inhaling too much poisonous gas.

The poisonous rain caused loud croaking of frogs.

Zhang Cheng lit a stick of insect repellent incense.

A few wisps of smoke drifted away, bringing with it the aroma of herbs and weakening the small hum around them.

Venomous insects pose the greatest threat when away from home, and many people die from them every year. Some injured people did not even react. It was not until they were extremely uncomfortable that they discovered the swollen wounds on their bodies.

Alchemists are also extremely careful about this.

The rain seemed to fall endlessly and even became heavier.

Zhang Cheng silently took out a handful of fried rice and stuffed it into his mouth, drinking water from the leather bag to satisfy his hunger.

In the rain curtain, he suddenly saw a figure.

The figure was tall, wearing a very large bamboo hat and blue clothes. He walked slowly in the rain, knocking wooden fish along the way.

You can still hear him chanting.

"Life is like floating, death is like rest."

"There are traces of ancient people on the Thousand-Year-Old Rock, but there is nothing in front of the Ten Thousand-foot Rock."

Zhang Cheng felt happy.

These characteristics belong to Monk Qing.

However, to be on the safe side, Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth and swallowed three PoWan Dan.

Then, after a cramp in his stomach, he saw the figure of the monk in Tsing Yi dim, as if he might disappear at any time. The opponent only had one eye, and the shadow under his feet disappeared without a trace. Other than that, there were no other abnormalities.

What surprised Zhang Cheng was that the monk didn't have any divine seals or internal organs monsters in his body.

Zhang Cheng was confused.

Do immortal people have no shadows?

However, he resisted his dizziness, held an umbrella and ran all the way.

"Excuse me, are you Master Qing?"

"If you don't want to be a master, the layman can just call the poor monk Qing Monk." Monk Qing's voice was kind, and even though he only had one eye, it was not scary.

Zhang Cheng wiped the blood from his nose with a handkerchief and said, "Zhang Cheng, a young student, would like to ask the master to clarify his doubts."

"Master, do you know that the mountain god is the biggest evil in the world?"

"Know a thing or two."

Zhang Cheng was overjoyed and immediately talked about his experiences during this period, the death of his mother, the withered bones in the old man's mountain, and the marks and monsters on everyone... He was filled with depression and finally found someone to talk to.

After hearing this, Monk Qing said: "What the layman saw is a secret that is difficult for the world to see. It may be a good thing that all living beings don't know it."

"I don't understand, why is this happening?"

Zhang Cheng looked pained.

"Why is this so?"

Monk Qing also said softly: "If you want to understand all this, you need to understand it yourself, and the poor monk is also on the way. However, floating life is like a dream, and lay people don't need to be too afraid. There is great terror between life and death."

Zhang Cheng felt keenly that the other party must know something.

"If you don't mind, Zhang Cheng wants to become his master, follow him in his journey and enlightenment! Please accept it, master!"

Monk Qing's one eye just blinked: "Are you really sure that you want to worship the poor monk as your teacher? The poor monk is wanted and hunted everywhere, and because of the relationship with the poor monk, you will inevitably be hiding in XZ in your life, surrounded by dangers. But here, you will still encounter the worries of life and death, have you really thought about it clearly?"

"Disciple has thought clearly!"

What Zhang Cheng thought was that if he could become a disciple of the capable monk Qing, he and his brother would have a place to go.

"Okay."

Monk Qing smiled: "I know you want to escape from the mountain god. I'll give you a token. Take this and come to me when you decide to come. I can decipher the mark left by the mountain god."

He tore off a piece of blue cloth and handed it to Zhang Cheng, then continued to stagger forward, blending into the rain amidst the sound of wooden fish.

Two months later, Zhang Ye successfully obtained the alchemist qualification.

That day Zhang Cheng and Zhang Ye Xingye left the village and went all the way to Monk Qing.

However, after meeting, Monk Qing's first words left the two brothers at a loss.

"I need you to go back and continue to hibernate over there."

Monk Qing stared at the two brothers with one eye.

Zhang Cheng cursed in his heart.

Mother Ganlin! !
