He picked up the tea cup again. This time Chen Pan did not drink a ox drink, but took a sip, then turned it in his mouth, and then swallowed it. Although he didn't know how to taste tea, I have to say that the tea is really fragrant. Especially the tea has obviously fallen, but there is still a lingering smell on the tip of his tongue, which naturally produces saliva.

After a while, Shi Buyi suddenly spoke, "Take another sip, close your eyes and reminisce."

Chen Pan took a sip again, then closed his eyes. The tea rolled into his throat, and the fragrance remained on his tongue. He didn't know what to savor, so Chen Pan had to let his mind emptied. In just a moment, something magical happened. A faint fragrance seemed to come from his belly, and the fragrance directly reached his soul through his nerves. Because he didn't know why he had to taste tea by himself, his originally restless mind suddenly calmed down after smelling the fragrance. Soon, he felt as quiet as water.

"So amazing, what can I do? Could this tea be a special elixir?" Chen Pan asked in surprise. This tea can actually affect mental power, and it is definitely not something that ordinary elixirs can do.

After hearing what Chen Pan said, Shi Buyi's eyes lit up: "You can think of elixirs, which is very good, at least it means that your mind is not dull. Many people think that elixirs are just such round pills, but they don't know that everything that can be used as medicine can be regarded as a elixir. If others see this tea, it is made of ordinary tea and has not undergone any method of refining elixirs. In my opinion, it is a elixir, a natural elixir."

"Natural elixir?" Chen Pan didn't understand. He knew nothing about the elixir, which sounded even more mysterious.

Shi Buyi nodded: "Yes, natural elixirs. Why do we practitioners have monks who have embarked on the path of elixirs like this? It is nothing more than to cure the injured. All things in nature, no matter what they are, or even many things that we think are poisonous, actually have a healing effect. Alchemy is essentially extracting these useful things from all things, and then kneading them into a ball, which turns them into elixirs. Of course, this is just a simple description. All things are mutually reborn and restrained, so alchemy is actually very complicated."

"This... I don't understand it very much!" Chen Pan smiled and Shi Buyi's words seemed to him to understand it.

Shi Buyi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you will understand in the future. I am actually explaining to you why I want to develop these mortal medicines. In my opinion, although medicinal materials are of high or low level, the level is not high or low. Each medicinal material is actually unique and no other medicinal material can be completely replaced. Their value mainly depends on their rarity. Because they are small and use large amounts, the medicinal material will be precious, and vice versa."

"Well, I understand this, things are precious because they are rare." Chen Pan nodded and said, but what does this have to do with refining medicines from the mortal world?

"The way of pills should be to maximize the effect of each medicinal material. However, since the emergence of alchemy, until now, at some point, alchemists have begun to compete with each other, taking pride in refining so-called high-level pills, and moving towards the blind pursuit of using the most precious medicinal materials they think are to refine higher-level pills. The study of medicinal materials has gradually declined."

"In addition to the small amount of precious drugs, on the other hand, their effective substances can be easily extracted, so they are very favored by alchemists. On the contrary, there are many drugs, because the effective substances are difficult to extract, so they gradually become low-level drugs in alchemists' mouths. So much so that many things that were once used by elixirs as medicines gradually began to be abandoned by alchemists."

Chen Pan opened his mouth slightly. He really couldn't understand these things, and he didn't understand why Shi Buyi was so patient and told him so much, but he was embarrassed to interrupt him.

Shi Buyi seemed to see what he was thinking and smiled: "I once got a very ancient alchemy recipe, which is the method of refining this Ningshen tea. The whole process is quite simple, only some simple alchemy techniques are required, but the process of using requires slow taste. You should know that there are very few medicines that can act on mental power, but Ningshen tea can do it, and its raw materials are just ordinary tea. This kind of thing is not at all the eyes of ordinary alchemists."

"This pill recipe allows me to see a new way of elixir. A kind of ordinary tea can do many things that even higher elixirs cannot do. So how many magical drugs are still buried in this world by our ignorance? From then on, I began to study enthusiastically, hoping to get out of a different way of elixir."

"Hard work pays off. I have achieved a lot of achievements and have done many things that so-called elixirs who are better than me cannot do. My spirit gradually rises, and I feel arrogant and offended many people. When I woke up, it was too late, and it hurt my friend to die tragically, and I also lost an ear. Although my realm improved later and I could recover my body, I did not do this, but used my lost ear to remind myself of the mistakes I made back then." Shi Buyi said at this time his eyes were a little dazed, as if he had remembered many past events.

After a long time, I suddenly came to my senses and said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, I talked about the past and said some off-topic words."

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay." Chen Pan said hurriedly. In fact, he was more interested in Shi Buyi's past.

"After that, I devoted myself to practicing the elixirs. Because of my careful study of the basic effects of various drugs, I found that I became extremely relaxed when I refining elixirs, because I was easier to control the effective substances between various drugs than other elixirs, so that they could fusion well."

"The deeper I study, the more I find that in fact, each medicinal material has its unique properties. The reason why many medicinal materials seem useless to us is actually just that we do not have the ability to fully discover its effects. That's why I built this Kanlan Valley."

"Oh, so that's it." Chen Pan nodded quickly. In fact, he didn't fully understand. He was also wondering why Shi Buyi said so much to himself.

Shi Buyi shook his head: "Looking at you like this, you know that you don't fully understand. Now you must be wondering why I told you this, right?"

Chen Pan laughed and said nothing.

Shi Buyi suddenly put away his smile and asked with a serious look on his face: "Actually, I'm just telling you so much, just to ask if you would like to be my disciple."

What? Chen Pan was stunned, and Ji Xuefu was also surprised.
