The sun sets in the west and the dusk is graceful.

The horizon is dyed golden yellow, accompanied by the gentle sea breeze. If you walk barefoot on the beach with your close lover on your arm, it will be a unique experience.

On a reef that is constantly being washed and beaten by waves, a young man is sitting on it with his trousers rolled up, looking at the setting sun in the west, holding his knees and his face is neither happy nor sad, but looking from behind, his back appears. A touch of loneliness.

His name is Qin Yu, and he is an ordinary disciple of the nearby Haitian Sect. Because of his poor qualifications, he was assigned to collect the afterglow of the setting sun here on the reef.

Next to Qin Yu, he saw a transparent vial with its mouth facing upwards. As if there was suction, a wisp of golden gas was slowly absorbed into the vial. Due to the slow speed, this bottle lasted for a month. To this day, Still not full.

The setting sun's afterglow is not a precious thing, but it is an excellent alchemy material. After all, it is taken from between heaven and earth, and it can give the elixir a trace of aura.

Whether the elixir is high-grade or not depends largely on aura. If it has aura, it is a good elixir. If there is no aura, even the elixir can only be reduced to a defective product. Therefore, the material of Luoyue Afterglow is because It is easy to obtain, making it the best choice for alchemists.

The Jade Pure Vase, a tool used to absorb the afterglow of the setting sun, is not available to every disciple. Only those who are trustworthy by the sect and who are more than ten years old will be given it down.

Qin Yu has been in the Haitian Sect for eighteen years. Although he was not born in the Haitian Sect, he grew up in the Haitian Sect. He knows everything about it, so the Haitian Sect can safely hand over the jade purification bottle to his hands. After all, the Haitian Sect It's not a big sect, there are only three of them, one is in his hand, the other two are in the hands of the sect leader, and the other is in the hands of the great alchemy elder.

About an hour later, seeing that it was getting late, Qin Yu took out a cork, blocked the mouth of the jade bottle, held the bottle body, stuffed it into his chest, Qin Yu jumped off the reef with his feet bare. Pan, came to a wooden house.

The wooden house is not big, only a dozen square meters, and there are not many furnishings in the house, just a slightly moldy straw mat.

Whenever Qin Yu is assigned to collect the afterglow of the setting sun, he will live here to save the trouble of going back and forth to the sect. Because the sect trusts him, it does not interfere. If you want to live in a wooden house, you can live in it. As long as you go back on time to return your orders. That’s it.

Qin Yu didn't have any special requirements for food, so he just found some food to fill his stomach and passed away. Although the sect would ring every month, Qin Yu saved all the money, not for anything else, just for a bite. A Taoist-level cauldron.

His qualifications were not good, so he was destined to achieve little in practice, so alchemy became his major course.

Don't look down on those who make alchemies. If you can make elixirs with spiritual charm, then masters will naturally flock to you. By then, it will not be a dream to establish a sect, so that most sects are established by alchemists. Real masters There were not many sects established.

After finishing his meal, Qin Yu took out a gray cauldron, which was a Taoist-grade cauldron that Qin Yu had bought frugally.

Taoist weapon level is the most basic level for tools. Above it, there are spiritual weapon level, ancient weapon level, fairy weapon level, and even divine weapon. However, those things are just out of reach for Qin Yu, that is Even if he sold it, he wouldn't be able to buy the spiritual weapon-level scraps. Only the Taoist-level cauldron was something he could afford. However, just the Taoist-level cauldron cost Qin Yu ten years of savings, and he had to pay the sect for it. I got it after ten years of monthly payment in advance.

If that's the case, then it's nothing. However, this Taoist-level cauldron is still a defective product. Half of the alchemy formation depicted on the base has disappeared. If it is to be used, it must be completely repainted.

If that's the case, why did Qin Yu buy this product? It's almost like being cheated.

But the real reason is that Qin Yu heard that there are many immortal artifacts handed down from ancient times. The artifacts are all defective, and quite a few of them have lost half or most of their formations.

Qin Yu was betting that the cauldron, which cost him twenty years of salary, was actually a spiritual weapon, or even an ancient weapon, and only half of the formation map of the cauldron was missing. He only needed to copy the intact half of the formation map to

Just disappear on one side.

If it is really a spiritual or ancient weapon, then the value of this cauldron goes without saying. As for immortal or divine weapons, Qin Yu dare not even think about it.

Not to mention divine artifacts, there are only three immortal artifacts in the world, and the cauldron in your hand is still dusty, and the formation diagram is not very complicated. It must not be an immortal artifact, or even a divine artifact, otherwise no one else will sell it, so why not

How about repairing it yourself and benefiting others in vain?

Put the cauldron beside you.

Qin Yu took out a piece of parchment from under the straw mat. Wrapped in the parchment was a pen and a carving knife.

The carving knife is not needed yet. The pen is naturally used to rub the complete formation diagram of the cauldron.

Spreading out the parchment, what comes into view is an array diagram, which is almost complete and only needs a little modification to make it complete.

At this time, it was pitch dark outside the house.

Qin Yu lit an oil lamp and placed it in front of himself.

There was some draft in the house, causing the flame of the oil lamp to constantly sway in the wind, as if it would go out in the next moment.

It took nearly three hours of scribbling and revising before the formation diagram on the parchment was perfect.

However, in order to make it watertight, Qin Yu continued to modify it until he was completely satisfied.

The next step is to repair the formation diagram under the tripod.

This is technical work, and Qin Yu has never done it before.

When he lifted the cauldron, his hands shook violently.

He grinned and laughed to himself that he really couldn't withstand the storm, "It's just a cauldron. So what if it fails? The worst is to start all over again."

After calming down, Qin Yu began to repair the cauldron, bit by bit, bit by bit, referring to the parchment, often taking a breath for a long time, swallowing saliva again and again, when there was nothing left to swallow, there was no saliva in his mouth.

Only then did he stop the knife and let out a heavy breath.

As if exhausted, Qin Yu lay down on his back, blinking at the ceiling, and large beads of sweat dripped down his cheeks.

Sometimes Qin Yu really envies those rich people.

After resting for a while and wiping the sweat off his forehead, Qin Yu stood up and started carving again under the flickering flames.

When it was bright and half of Father Sun's face was revealed, Qin Yu finally completed the repair of the cauldron. As the array diagram under the cauldron flashed a white light, and after the remaining array diagram merged with the newly carved array diagram, Qin Yu smiled.

But his smile looked very tired.

But Qin Yu didn't feel that he had succeeded yet. The key to success was whether he could make an elixir.

Take out some common alchemy materials, which are not high-end goods and can usually be seen on the roadside, such as sea snake grass, a snake-like seaweed that grows on offshore reefs. It has the effect of rejuvenating the appearance of women, so women often

The monks use it to refine the beauty elixir. After all, it is natural for women to love beauty.

Putting the sea snake into the cauldron, Qin Yu picked up a bronze rod, crushed the sea snake and pounded it evenly.

Because it was his first time to make elixirs, Qin Yu took out the jade purification bottle, poured a little of the sunset, and then closed the cauldron.

When the lid of the cauldron is closed, after a while, the formation diagram under the cauldron base will automatically open.

For a moment, the cauldron turned from black to red, as if it was burning. Along with the burning, a wisp of green smoke curled up from the lid of the cauldron.

Qin Yu was extremely nervous when he was refining an elixir for the first time, even though it was just an ordinary beauty elixir.

After about an hour, the red light of the cauldron slowly faded away, which meant that the alchemy was over.

He was even more nervous than before, and even Qin Yu didn't dare to open the lid of the cauldron, fearing that it would disappoint him.

But how can you know the result without looking at him?

In the end, Qin Yu reached out and opened the lid of the cauldron.

at the same time..
