Chapter 319: Niuniu’s talent for alchemy is too terrifying
Zhang Changsheng reached the peak of foundation building. Although he still used the innate true fire, it had changed from white to purple. It had a higher temperature and better quality. It could be used to refine weapons, not just medicine.
Before, Zhang Changsheng only refined the lowest-level magic weapons, but now he can make higher-level magic weapons.
Of course, Niu Niu obtained a bunch of magic weapons and spiritual treasures in the Fengdu strange world. Their power was no less than those refined by Zhang Changsheng, but the ingenuity of those magic weapons was not as good as those refined by Zhang Changsheng.
If Zhang Changsheng breaks through the Nascent Soul stage, cultivates the infant fire, refines spiritual treasures, or even reaches a higher level.
In the Qiankun Continent, Zhang Changsheng is also known as the top weapon refiner in tens of millions of years!
Niuniu looked at the jumping purple flame in Zhang Changsheng's hand and asked in confusion: "Dad, what is this?"
"Innate True Fire. When a practitioner reaches the Innate Realm, he or she can cultivate Innate True Fire. Innate True Fire has a restraining effect on various evil spirits. It can also be used to refine medicine. The pills that my father refined before were refined with Innate True Fire."
Zhang Changsheng told Niu Niu the purpose of the innate true fire.
"Practitioners can cultivate different levels of fire. The innate fire is true fire, and when they reach the Nascent Soul stage, they become infant fire, which is hundreds of times more powerful than true fire."
Niuniu's eyes lit up when she heard this and she said, "Dad, now that I have reached the middle stage of the Xiantian realm, can I also cultivate the True Fire?"
Zhang Changsheng nodded and said, "You should operate yourself according to the luck method I taught you."
Niu Niu immediately began to circulate the energy in her body according to what Zhang Changsheng said. After a few breaths, a small white flame burst out from her tender white palms.
"Dad, Dad, look, look, Niuniu has also cultivated the true fire."
Niu Niu became excited, but her excitement made her breath unstable and the burning flame went out.
She immediately used her luck again as before, and soon a small flame ignited in her palm again.
This time she was more skilled than before. She adjusted her body's breath to control the size and shape of the flame, and even the temperature of the flame.
Zhang Changsheng was extremely shocked. He was just about to teach Niu Niu how to control fire, but she figured it out on her own and quickly mastered the rules. This talent was too incredible.
When I first cultivated the innate true fire, it took me half a month to be able to use it freely, and Niu Niu also took a short while.
Compared with her, Zhang Changsheng was shocked.
"Dad, look."
Niu Niu controlled the flame to change into the shape of a bird.
"It looks good."
Zhang Changsheng nodded and said, "Not bad."
"Dad, can Niuniu also make medicine now?"
Niu Niu has always been interested in refining medicine. When she saw Zhang Changsheng refining medicine before, she felt that her father's movements were particularly handsome.
"Of course." Zhang Changsheng had previously told Niu Niu so much knowledge about spiritual medicine in preparation for Niu Niu to learn how to refine medicine.
The path of alchemy is extremely important for practitioners. After all, in the process of practice, everyone will inevitably use various elixirs.
The higher the grade of the elixir, the more expensive it is. It is often several times or even dozens of times more valuable than spiritual medicine. This is why alchemists are all wealthy people, and it is easier for them to find helpers.
Niuniu must learn to make pills, which will be of great benefit to her future cultivation. However, alchemy requires talent. If one does not have talent, even if one makes a hundred or a thousand times the effort, the achievement will still be limited. This is why there are very few alchemists among practitioners.
Zhang Changsheng's talent in alchemy is naturally the highest in the Qiankun Continent in tens of millions of years, which also laid the foundation for him to become the peerless heavenly master.
I don’t know if Niu Niu can inherit his talent in alchemy.
"Niuniu, try to integrate the power of the stars into the true fire and control the temperature of the flame." Zhang Changsheng took out a cherry tomato and said, "Heat it with the flame, just enough to peel it, but don't cook it. The temperature is 100."
"Good dad."
Niu Niu took the cherry tomatoes and placed them in the palm of her hand. She first used the power of the stars to lift the cherry tomatoes up and suspended them above her palm.
Then, flames ignited in the palms of his hands and wrapped the cherry tomatoes.
After a few breaths, Niuniu turned off the flame, picked up the cherry tomatoes, and gently peeled off the skin. "Dad, do you think this is the case?"
Niu Niu easily broke off the peel, revealing the bright red flesh, which was still steaming.
Zhang Changsheng was shocked again and was speechless. The most difficult part of refining medicine is temperature control. If the temperature is too high, the medicine will be burned to ashes. If the temperature is not high enough, the medicinal juice cannot be extracted. A slight temperature difference will result in all efforts being wasted.
This is more difficult than ordinary practice, which is why many practitioners are unwilling to spend too much energy on alchemy.
This basic threshold keeps 99 percent of practitioners out.
Niu Niu was able to control the temperature so precisely with just one move. This required her to be extremely sensitive to temperature and have excellent control skills. If Zhang Changsheng hadn't known that Niu Niu had just started, he would have thought she was an alchemist of the third rank or above.
Niu Niu is stronger than him. Back then, it took Zhang Changsheng a month to reach this level. This was hailed as the number one cultivation talent in the Qiankun Continent.
"Yes, Niu Niu has very good control over temperature, which is a key step in becoming an alchemist." Zhang Changsheng said.
"So Niu Niu can make pills?" Niu Niu said happily.
"Don't be too ambitious. There are many steps to making an elixir. In the next few days, you should first familiarize yourself with the medicinal properties of various herbs, and then try to make the herbal juice, and finally make the elixir." Zhang Changsheng said.
"Yes." Niuniu nodded and agreed, "Niuniu will do whatever Dad tells her to do."
Niu Niu was very happy that she was able to cultivate true fire today. This was much more interesting than the blasting talisman.
"That's all for today. Go and have some rest."
"Yes, Dad." Niu Niu left happily humming a little tune.
Zhang Changsheng looked at Niuniu's happy expression and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "This talent is too monstrous. Dandao Yitu may achieve higher achievements than me in the future."
If the people of Qiankun Continent knew about Niu Niu's talent, it would probably cause a sensation throughout the world, and all the other geniuses would be eclipsed.
Three days later, Zhang Changsheng tried to refine a simple medicine for Niu Niu. Without using an alchemy furnace, he used the power of the stars and the innate true fire to refine the medicine.
This is Zhang Changsheng's unique method of alchemy, and others cannot learn it even if they want to.
The first time she refined it, Niu Niu was still a little unfamiliar with the temperature and couldn't control it well, so she directly burned a hundred-year-old ginseng clean. But the second time she was much better, and by the third time, Niu Niu could easily refine a drop of very pure ginseng essence.
Zhang Changsheng didn't know what to say. He felt that at this rate, he would soon run out of things to teach Niuniu.
