Chapter 85: Alchemy
The carriage flew over the Huaguo Mountain.
Taishang Laojun opened the curtains and saw a lush forest under the wheels. The fresh and sweet wind made him feel comfortable.
"This carriage is running so steadily."
The Supreme Lord said in surprise.
The Rakshasa girl was a little happy: "This is our latest product."
She looked back at Sun Wukong, hoping to get his praise. But she saw Sun Wukong sitting on the cushion, holding his head with one hand, as if resting.
"The king is distracted again."
The Rakshasa girl said that since she followed Sun Wukong, she would occasionally see him wandering with his eyes closed.
"That's not a waste."
The Supreme Laojun glanced at it and smiled and said, "He is not here at all."
The Rakshasa girl looked puzzled.
Isn't the king here for a long time?
The Emperor Taishang did not continue to explain, but turned around to continue to enjoy the scenery outside the window.
Ten minutes later, the carriage landed in front of a Taoist temple on Yongchun Island.
"This is the place to refine alchemy?"
The Grand Lord got off the carriage and sniffed it carefully. Sure enough, he smelled the fragrance of the elixir from the air.
"This Taoist temple seems to have not been built for a few years."
The Emperor Taishang said.
Sun Wukong got off the carriage: "It's been a few years."
He patted the fat cow pulling the carriage to show his gratitude, and then took the two into the Taoist temple.
"I don't know much about alchemy techniques, and the alchemy in Huaguoshan has developed relatively late."
Sun Wukong explained to Taishang Laojun.
Taishang Laojun was surprised: "You have something you are not good at?"
“That’s too much.”
Sun Wukong said with a smile.
Back then, he studied art in Sanxing Cave. In addition to martial arts and Taoism, he did not study in particular in-depth music, chess, calligraphy, painting, music and alchemy.
"King."
Zhang Liang brought a group of Taoist priests out of the alchemy room to greet him.
After Liu Qi left, Zhang Liang came here to work.
Sun Wukong introduced to Taishang Laojun: "His name is Zhang Liang, and he is the person in charge of the Taoist temple."
The Grand Lord looked at Zhang Liang and felt inexplicably kind. After he calculated his fingers, he knew that he and Zhang Liang had a fate with their master and apprentice.
Zhang Liang can become an immortal in the future and be one of the boys under his seat.
Since you are qualified to be his boy, Zhang Liang's alchemy skills are naturally not to ask too much.
Zhang Liang took the Taishang Laojun to see the elixirs they refined. They were all elixirs used for practice. They were usually used as rewards and were used by Ao Luan to reward monsters.
“It’s good to practice.”
Taishang Laojun picked up a pill and put it in his mouth and started eating it.
"The plants in Huaguo Mountain are indeed a little different."
The biggest difference between the method of alchemy in Huaguo Mountain and the outside world is that it uses some plants unique to Huaguo Mountain, especially some hybrid plant varieties.
Laojun was quite interested in the elixirs that he had never seen before, so he started discussing it with Zhang Liang.
Seeing that they were having fun chatting, Sun Wukong wanted to take the Rakshasa girl away.
"Don't leave."
The Grand Lord called him: "You can listen to it too."
Sun Wukong and Rakshasa girl sat aside and listened.
This sounded like this for a day, and Rakshasa was drowsy, and Sun Wukong frowned.
The Supreme Lord seemed to intend to give him some advice, but Sun Wukong was not interested in refining alchemy.
In addition to the necessary knowledge, alchemy requires a lot of practical experience, and it cannot be learned overnight.
Sun Wukong was determined to say goodbye, but the Supreme Laojun took out a elixir and asked Sun Wukong to try to refine a elixir.
“Why do you do this?”
Sun Wukong was puzzled, but he still grabbed some herbs and worked hard for half a night to practice a few pills.
The Grand Lord picked up the pill: "It's true."
This pill has not yet been formed, but its appearance surprised Zhang Liang and other Taoist priests.
"Master, how could you make this pill?"
They asked.
Sun Wukong was a little strange: "Is this kind of pill very strange?"
"Of course it's strange." The old man of the Supreme Lord put away the pill and said, "I'll teach you to practice it blindly, and you really have it refined."
His guidance to Sun Wukong was actually very vague. Unexpectedly, Sun Wukong had figured out a different method of refining himself.
The Grand Lord asked, "How did you come up with a pill to cure diseases?"
"Laojun, I have written pharmacy books."
Sun Wukong replied that he had written pharmacy books and naturally wanted to use elixirs to cure diseases.
It is not surprising that elixirs are used to treat diseases, but even so, the elixirs produced by Sun Wukong are unique.
The Supreme Laojun couldn't help but smile and said, "I knew you were different from ordinary people."
Sun Wukong has extensive knowledge and has no contact with alchemy. In the eyes of Taishang Laojun, he is a rare treasure house.
If he was taught to refine alchemy in an unconventional way, he might have a shiny idea.
The alchemy just now has already let the Taishang Laojun know that it is feasible.
"You go to the library to learn some alchemy techniques."
The Grand Lord said, "It is not advisable to study more. Just read two books. If you have time, come and see me to refine elixirs and talk to me."
He told Sun Wukong the two books.
Taishang Laojun didn’t ask Sun Wukong to refine alchemy, but was just interested in his ideas.
"And this..."
Laojun took out an immortal hammer from his cuff and handed it to Sun Wukong, saying, "Return it to Zhenyuan Daxian."
Sun Wukong felt that the Immortal Hammer looked familiar.
"You ask Zhenyuan Daxian not to beat him randomly." said the Grand Lord: "I don't know what he hit. Not only did he deform the appearance, but it even shattered inside, which made me yangyuan last for half a year before it was repaired."
"I see."
Sun Wukong took the Rakshasa girl to say goodbye.
He wanted to go to Wuzhuang Temple to return the Immortal Hammer, while the Rakshasa girl took the initiative to ask for the two books to go to the library.
Sun Wukong handed her the carriage, used a technique of shrinking the ground, and came to Wuzhuang Temple in the blink of an eye.
Zhenyuan Daxian took back the immortal hammer and looked at Sun Wukong with a smile.
"Great Immortal." Sun Wukong said, "Laojun told you not to fight."
Zhenyuan Daxian was stunned: "Why?"
"I'm harder than a hammer."
Sun Wukong answered.
Not long after he returned to the Water Curtain Cave, the Rakshasa girl came back with two books.
"King, I met Fairy Chang'e in the library."
She reported to Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong was a little curious: "What did she do in the library in the middle of the night?"
"It seems like I'm reading a note book."
The Rakshasa girl replied: "And she doesn't look very happy."
Sun Wukong became more and more curious: "Why?"
"Maybe it's because I don't want to lose to Daji in singing."
The Rakshasa girl said, "I heard that Daji has been staying up late to practice dancing recently, saying that she wants Fairy Chang'e to admit defeat in the singing and dancing competition."
This surprised Sun Wukong.
The singing and dancing competition is a competition held by Huaguoshan every year. The champion is Daji. However, if you have Fairy Chang'e this year, it may not be said.
Sun Wukong has never been able to guess the woman's thoughts, and he thought the two of them could be together.
The two of them were not getting along well, which made Sun Wukong a little nervous.
But he thought about it again and again that these two people might be better than competing with each other.
