Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 501 Alchemy
Sitting in the lecture hall, most of the people were teenagers aged 16 to [-]. Some of these teenagers looked confused, some were excited, some were expressionless, and some took out their notes.

The remaining few are the above-mentioned adults, and these adults have apprehensive faces, anxious hearts, helpless looks, and a fighting spirit.They have all experienced severe beatings in society, and pinned their hopes on the final way of alchemy.

This class is also full of life flavors.

Not long after, a middle-aged Taoist came in. He looked around at the people below, and then coughed lightly and said, "Very well, everyone is a person with a heart for Taoism, so I don't want to talk nonsense. My surname is Wu, you You can call me Master Wu Dan."

He paused, and then continued: "Dao, is the way of refinement. Blend different medicinal materials together to refine a pill that contains extraordinary power..."

The Taoist began to talk eloquently, but the people below listened carefully.But Zhang Wei heard it a little bit like chewing wax, because this kind of person's knowledge is very shallow, and many understandings are wrong.

After just listening for a few minutes, he regretted it very much.Then I wanted to leave.

At this time, a young man stood up suddenly, and he said: "Master Wu Dan, I have already listened to three sessions of this kind of course, it is time for you to show us some real skills, otherwise I doubt whether you will Alchemy!"

After this person's voice fell, several people echoed and said: "Yes, Master Wu Dan, we have listened enough to this kind of lectures that talk about muddled words, we should give some dry goods, or directly refine alchemy!"

A few people coaxed together, and there was a hint of suspicion on the faces of the others.Many of them are newcomers who came here for the first time, and when they heard the old people say this, they also murmured in their hearts, the alchemist in front of him could not be a liar who only understands theory.

Alchemy only understands theory, which is useless at all.It's like you know the theory of making a nuclear bomb, but can you make a nuclear bomb?

Important practice!
As soon as several people made a fuss, Master Wu Dan couldn't hold back his face. He looked at the other apprentices who were showing doubts, and knew in his heart that if he couldn't settle this matter properly, his reputation might not be preserved.

So he coughed, pressed his hands, and said: "This alchemy requires preparation, sincerity, bathing and changing clothes, and the right time, place, and people..."

Before he finished speaking, the young man who spoke first sneered and said: "Master Wu Dan, last time you said that you ate garlic and were stained with meat, so you couldn't make alchemy. Last time, you said that the time of heaven and earth is wrong, you can't Alchemy. Then when do you say that you can make alchemy, let's come to the class again. But before again..."

He suddenly said loudly: "Refund the money! You give me the money back!"

The word "refund" hurt Danshi Wu deeply, he frowned, looked around, and immediately said: "Since you want to see my alchemy technique, today I will let you open your eyes!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and left the room.Immediately, a Taoist followed, and after the two of them walked away, the Taoist said to Master Wu Dan: "Old Wu, why did you promise them to open a furnace for alchemy?"

"You have also seen that if we don't open the furnace to make alchemy, those thorns will let us go? Refund? It is impossible to refund the money in this life!" A ruthless look appeared on Wu Danshi's face.Asking him to refund the money is worse than killing him.

When the Taoist heard the word 'refund', his expression turned pale.He also has a share of the money, and if he wants to refund it, he has to use the money to refund it.So he took a deep breath and asked, "Then how sure are you?"

"About [-] to [-] percent, don't be afraid of failure, we can have an excuse if we fail." Wu Danshi is a steady person, and at this moment he is already thinking of retreating.

"If you fail, I will say that the weather is not good today, which will affect alchemy. You will say that the charcoal fire is not good today, which will affect alchemy. We are experts in alchemy, and we are what we say!"

After listening to Master Wu Dan's words, the Taoist also nodded, isn't that right, the final right of interpretation is also in their hands!
The athletes are them, the referees are them, the sponsors are them, and the supervisors are them too. How could they lose!

The Taoist figured this out, finally nodded and said, "Then let me prepare for you."

Not long after, the Taoist came to the room and said with a cold face: "Okay, Alchemist Wu is ready, everyone can come to the alchemy room."

Hearing this, all the people present stood up with a whoosh, and followed the Taoist to the alchemy room.

The alchemy room is quite big, in the center of the alchemy room, there is a one-foot-tall alchemy stove.The whole body of this alchemy furnace is made of red copper and dolomite. There are various patterns on the alchemy furnace. It is said that these patterns can increase the success rate of alchemy.

Zhang Wei looked at the alchemy furnace, and couldn't help but nodded. This alchemy furnace is quite satisfactory. For low-level alchemists, the standard is the best, and the fancy pill furnace is not easy to use.

Two Taoists with big arms and thick waists carried baskets of charcoal, and then poured them all into the fire chamber of the alchemy furnace.After five or six baskets of charcoal were poured into it, Master Wu Dan estimated that there was enough fuel, and then asked them to stop pouring charcoal.

Then he said: "Since everyone wants to see me concocting alchemy, then I have no choice but to make a fool of myself. But today is not the best time for alchemy, and the preparations are hasty. Alchemy is a matter that values ​​external factors. Today is the right time, place and people. Neither will work, so everyone must be prepared to fail.”

He said something first to pave the way for his own failure, and then said: "But since everyone wants to see it, I can't stop showing it to everyone because of these things. Well, stop talking nonsense, I'm starting!"

After speaking, he took out a fire essence from his bosom, activated the fire essence with mana, and threw it into the fire chamber.

The scorching fire essence began to ignite the charcoal in the fire room, and the two big men with big arms and waists also took out two fans as tall as a person, and began to fan the fire room.

This alchemy... is a physical activity!Everyone in Zhang Wei was shocked!

"Is this blacksmithing or alchemy!" He whispered to himself.When he was a junior, Zhang Wei also used charcoal to make alchemy, and he even used firewood to make alchemy!

But alchemy is not blacksmithing, and there is no need for such a high temperature!It's not really burning lead to smelt mercury!
In alchemy, the first thing to do is to heat. Zhang Wei shook his head when he saw this method of burning fire. This first step is wrong, and how can he succeed in the future!
Sure enough, when the pill furnace was burning red, Master Wu Dan asked the two big men to stop. He looked at the red-burning pill furnace and couldn't help but frown. Fortunately, he still had some common sense, knowing that throwing medicinal materials into it now would definitely no.

So he began to put on a show and calculated, in fact, he was waiting for the pill furnace to cool down.Copper dissipates heat quickly, and after a while, the red-hot copper furnace slowly turned to its normal color.Danshi Wu reckoned that it was almost done, and then roared: "Bring up the ingredients! Today I will make a life-extending pill for everyone!"

This is the only elixir he knows how to refine. Even if the 'time, place and people' are all available, he only has a success rate of more than [-]%.

Two big men brought up the materials, which contained safflower, elderberry and Tianqigen.

Master Wu Dan took a deep breath, grabbed the red flower, and then threw it into the alchemy chamber in the alchemy furnace.At the same time, he also yelled coquettishly: "The goddess scatter flowers!"

The safflower fell into the alchemy room like rain. It is hard to say whether it is useful or not, but it is very beautiful to look at.It doesn't matter whether the alchemy is successful or not, handsome must be handsome!

But Zhang Wei shook his head when he saw it, the safflower was lost too early!You should put a little Tianqi root first, and use the medicinal power of Tianqi to protect the red medicine.This is a little trick.

This little trick can be found as long as you practice more alchemy.Because safflower is very fragile, although it is the first medicinal material to be put in, it must be protected with a little Tian Qi to stimulate the medicinal energy.

After the safflower enters the Dan room, the Dan room starts to rotate.Zhang Wei looked at it and shook his head again, this alchemy room was turning too slowly!The safflower is fragile, so it is easy to paste!
At this time, Master Wu Dan had already started counting with his fingers, this is not just pretending, but really counting the time to put in the next medicinal material.

When the time was up, he opened his eyes, grabbed the elderberry and threw it in!

Zhang Wei shook his head again, the injection was too slow!The alchemy has leaked out!This person is still not skilled.

At this time, Wu Danshi also felt that something was wrong.This Danqi seems to have leaked too much!If a large amount of elixir is leaked, the chance of becoming an elixir will be much smaller.

But the previous start was good... Master Wu Dan thought so in his heart, so he made a bold idea - add medicine!
Didn't the Dan Qi leak out?Then I will continue to add medicinal materials to make up for the lost qi!It's a risky decision, but there are tricks to this.

Wu Danshi pondered for a moment, then grabbed a handful of red flowers.

Seeing this, Zhang Wei was very puzzled, what is this person doing?
I saw Wu Danshi suddenly lifted the top cover of the alchemy room, and then threw the red flower in his hand into it.Zhang Wei was shocked by this heaven-defying movement!
This time Danshi Wu's hands and feet were very fast, in order to prevent the loss of alchemy, he immediately lowered the lid and sealed the alchemy chamber.Then he spat out his palm, and a gust of wind blew into the fire chamber, making the flame bigger.

He was afraid that after adding the medicinal materials, the temperature of the pill room would not be enough, so he added a fire!

"It's over! This pill furnace is about to explode!" Zhang Wei shouted loudly.His shout made everyone look at him.

These people were full of suspicion. Seeing Zhang Wei sizing up, this is another "superior" all the way, who actually shouted that the pill furnace is about to explode!

Seeing these people standing there stupidly, Zhang Wei immediately shouted: "It's going to explode! Get back quickly!" The pill furnace is made of red copper and dolomite, and it is extremely hard. Will not pop.

The pill furnace exploded, only the pill room where the medicinal materials were placed exploded!The medicinal materials inside will be sprayed out with high temperature and high pressure, and it will also hurt people!Moreover, most of the people here are people with low cultivation bases. Even if they will not be killed by the bomb, they will inevitably be burned by the high-temperature medicinal materials.

Zhang Wei's small body didn't want to be burned, so he stepped back immediately.Danshi Wu's face turned dark, and immediately scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about, what about my pill furnace..."

The second half of his "will explode" hadn't finished, the pill furnace shook violently, and then the top cover of the pill room was pushed open suddenly, with a loud "bang", the pill room exploded, boiling hot Medicine dregs spewed out from it, flying in all directions.

Danshi Wu was still cursing at that time, so he didn't notice the pill furnace.And he was the closest, the loud noise and splash of medicine dregs, he was the first to bear the brunt!

With a sound of 'wow', he was sprayed with hot medicine dregs, and he yelled.And some people who were close were also affected, and the alchemy room was full of shouts.

At this time, Zhang Wei was already standing at the door, but he was fine.Looking at this scene, he shook his head.

Then, he heard an exasperated voice shouting: "It's that crow's mouth, catch him!"

I saw Danshi Wu standing up with his whole body hot and red, and now he was yelling while gnashing his teeth while glaring at Zhang Wei, while a few Taoists with big arms and thick waists grabbed Zhang Wei!

"???" Zhang Wei was stunned again, your pill furnace exploded, what does it matter to me?

Regardless of the pain, Wu Danshi said loudly: "Alchemy pays attention to the right time, place and people. Today is not a good day for alchemy. It is not easy for me to force alchemy, but this person still cursed me, saying that my alchemy furnace is going to blow up." ! It’s really unreasonable!”

When Zhang Wei heard this, his eyes widened, and he said unconvinced: "You are poor, poor in technology, and you blew up the alchemy furnace yourself, and you still want to blame me? It's really absurd." Why don't you say that the weather is not good today, the floor is too hard, and there are too many spectators, which caused your alchemy to fail?"

Zhang Wei's words made Wu Danshi choke, he originally wanted to say so.But now that he was robbed by Zhang Wei for a while, he lost his temper in an instant!

"You...you...you know a fart! Are you an alchemist or am I an alchemist? Can you make alchemy? You don't know anything, why do you say that? If you have the ability, go for it!"

"Joke, you can also be called an alchemist at this level? In the early years, you were not even allowed to enter the alchemy room of the Taoist temple at your level, so you could only process the medicinal materials outside! You are not even a boy who fanned the fire!"

Zhang Wei scolded disdainfully, then broke away from the hands of the two big men, and said: "As for the way of alchemy, unfortunately, I also know a little bit, although it is not strong, but it is not as good as half a bucket of water like you." The guy is much stronger!"

He walked up, looked at the bewildered onlookers, and said, "I didn't want to be troublesome at first, but this person has no level and no morals. I am not good at learning, but I am also to blame for this irrelevant person."

"I absolutely can't bear this tone today. In order to prove my innocence, I really want to make a batch of elixir!"

Zhang Wei looked at Alchemist Wu and said, "I'll make a bet with you, if I can't refine the life-sustaining pill, I'll give you an apology and give you a thousand taels of silver."

"But if I refine the elixir, I don't want you. How about using this alchemy room for a month?"

Zhang Wei looked at Alchemy Wu in front of him and said.

But Master Wu Dan in front of him was stunned when he heard the bet, and looked at the young man in front of him with a sudden change of mind.He absolutely does not believe that such a young person in front of him can make alchemy, but the confident appearance of this person in front of him is so bluffing...

Seeing Wu Danshi hesitate, Zhang Wei showed a hint of joy in his eyes, he just wanted to say something.But it was this gleam of joy that was caught by this Danshi Wu!
"This bastard lied to me! He doesn't know how to make alchemy at all, he's just bluffing people! He wants me to let him go!" Wu Danshi thought that his alchemy skills were mediocre, but his skills in judging people had always been very strong, otherwise he wouldn't have relied on this The ability to observe words and colors offers alchemy courses.

So, when Zhang Wei said: "Since you don't want to...", this Danshi Wu immediately interrupted him, saying: "Okay! I've made the bet! Everyone present is witness."

When Zhang Wei heard this, there was a hint of 'panic' and a hint of disbelief in his eyes.And this performance made Master Wu Dan feel confident that this little bastard is a liar!
Hehe, the little house sparrow still wants to play smart in front of the old bird, so today I will make you lose money and lose face!

Alchemy Wu felt a little refreshed in his heart, then his face became serious, and he said: "I am the person who likes to convince people with virtue, since you said you can refine, then you can refine a batch of pills, here the materials and pill stove are optional You use."

After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation, and then stood aside to clean up the medicine dregs on his body.

Fortunately, his cultivation base is not too low, and he was not injured when he was sprayed by the hot medicine residue, but he was burned a bit.

Zhang Wei looked at the crowd, and they were all fun people, so he immediately booed and said: "He agrees, you can go up to refine it and have a look, it will also open our eyes."

Finally, Zhang Wei was "forced to do nothing" and came to the alchemy stove.He said to the two Taoists beside him: "Go and clean the alchemy room, and clean up the remaining medicine residue!"

The two Taoists were taken aback for a moment, then looked at Wu Danshi.Master Wu Dan nodded to them, they climbed up the alchemy stove and began to clean the alchemy room.

When they cleaned it up, Zhang Wei was already sitting cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, not to mention other things, the momentum was still impressive.

He picked up the cattail fan beside him and fanned the wind lightly. The dark red charcoal in the alchemy furnace shone slightly, and a gust of hot wind hit.Zhang Wei felt the temperature of the hot air and began to calculate the temperature.

The most important thing in alchemy is to control fire. If it is other different fires, you need to control fire.But if it is charcoal or firewood, fans and fuel control are needed to control the fire.

Feeling that the temperature is right, Zhang Wei first threw a little elderberry into the alchemy furnace.Just this first step made Wu Danshi laugh, he said sarcastically: "Can you refine life extension pill? The first step of life extension pill is to refine safflower, what do you mean by adding bone grass? You really will?"

Zhang Wei ignored him, but waited until the elderberry was slightly refined, and then put in a large amount of red flowers.This weight is much more than Wu Danshi added!
Wu Danshi immediately shouted: "This amount is too much, are you wasting my medicinal materials?"

Zhang Wei still ignored him. At Zhang Wei's level, every alchemy is to bring out the full potential of the alchemy furnace.

When the safflower was put into it, the elderberry just now played a good buffering effect, and there were no other problems when the safflower entered it.Seeing this, Wu Danshi's eyes flickered suddenly.Then meditate.

'This elderberry, seems to protect the later added safflower... Is this a coincidence? 'He is not completely a layman. He also learned a little from the alchemy Taoist who followed Sheguguan before.It's just that later when the preaching of the scriptures came, the alchemy Taoist left, and he had no place to learn art, but in order to make a living, he picked up a level that was not as good as his own, opened a lecture hall, and earned some expenses.

The Dan room rotated quickly, making a 'buzzing' sound, which drove the air in the fire room to flow, and the charcoal burned a little redder!Zhang Wei looked at the flames, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

The rotation of the Dan room not only makes the materials more evenly heated, but also slightly improves the air flow in the fire room, increasing the fire intensity.You only need to grasp the speed, and you don't even have to fan the flames.

After a while, Master Wu Dan calculated in secret, and muttered in his heart: "It's time for the red flower to be refined, why didn't he add the elderberry?"

He also didn't think about it, Zhang Wei's dosage is so high this time, the refining time must be long!Therefore, sometimes alchemy needs to be handled flexibly. If you don't have this ability, you really can only invest in standard doses and perform standard operations.

Zhang Wei thought he had enough time, so he grabbed the elderberry and threw it in.His movements were smooth and smooth, and he completed this step very quickly, with very little alchemy leaked.Zhang Wei can't do anything about it, his body has low magic power, and he can't use spells to control the alchemy furnace at all, which is naturally very inconvenient.

After the elderberry entered the alchemy room, the two medicines began to be fused and refined. At this time, Zhang Wei began to put some quartz sand into the fire room. The function of the quartz sand is to cool down, but it will not cool down too much, and it has a slight heat preservation effect. .

Master Wu Dan was puzzled by this step, he put in the elderberry, it was time to increase the firepower to refine it, why should he cool down?

He didn't understand, but he didn't dare to say anything.In fact, when he got here, he also understood that the person in front of him was not a layman, he had alchemy skills.And at present, it seems that the level is not below him!
After a while, Zhang Wei suddenly picked up the palm-leaf fan to fan the fire. He fanned the fire vigorously, and the flames in the fire room suddenly churned, and sparks flew out.

Dan Shi also turned violently.

'What is he going to do?Such a big fire will burn all the medicinal materials! Danshi Wu was startled, and then watched the appearance of the alchemy furnace gradually turn red.

'Oh shit!This bastard wants to set up a fryer! Danshi Wu was shocked, and quickly shouted: "It's not good! This is going to blow up the furnace! Everyone, disperse!"

After speaking, he squeezed out of the crowd alone and hid far away.When the others heard this, they quickly backed away, for fear of being bombed.Eat a fall and gain a wisdom!

But at this time, I heard Zhang Wei yelling: "Get up!"

I saw the alchemy chamber in the alchemy furnace suddenly opened, Zhang Wei threw Tian Qigen into it, and then closed the lid suddenly, making the alchemy chamber humming and spinning.

The alchemy furnace was shaking at this time, with a high-frequency and slight vibration, making a dull buzzing sound.

Such a pill furnace is repeatedly jumping between the edge of the frying furnace and the non-frying furnace.But it just didn't explode!

Danshi Wu in the distance saw this scene, and a scene suddenly appeared in his dusty memory.That's when the alchemy Taoist priest of Sheguguan mastered an advanced alchemy technique called 'shock furnace', and it seems that the alchemy furnace made the same sound back then.

And the alchemy priest who mastered this technique was ecstatic at the time, and even rewarded him for being able to enter the alchemy room to watch this phenomenon...

But now this advanced alchemy technique seems to be easily used by this unknown young man!
