It’s too dangerous to seize the direct descendant, so I choose to be the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 20: Congratulations to the Problem Children of the Family
The alchemy room was very quiet.

Zhao Ci was focused on nothing and quietly watched Zhang Gongfeng making alchemy. This was the first time he had watched someone make alchemy at such a close distance. It was impossible not to be curious.

I saw Zhang Gongfeng select a few auxiliary medicines from the medicine cabinet and put them into the alchemy furnace, slowly burning away the impurities, leaving only a few strands of light floating in the alchemy furnace.These herbs cannot be extracted with wine, but fortunately the dosage is much less than that of Qi-nourishing grass, so it won't be wasted for long.

Immediately afterwards, he used his true energy to draw out the medicinal liquid in the jade bottle.

The medicinal liquid was scorched by the flames, and it suddenly sizzled and evaporated completely, leaving only the pure medicinal power.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Gongfeng couldn't hide the look of ecstasy on his face.

He quickly held his breath and concentrated, focusing all his attention on the medicine.

The flames ignited by the true energy wax and wane, and the temperature of the alchemy room also rises and falls. Every time the temperature changes, the medicine ball in the furnace will separate into a stream of light. After it is completely separated, it will be melted into the alchemy room by the true energy. Together.

"Alchemy is really a technical job!"

Zhao Ci couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although he didn't know how to make elixirs, he had gained a lot of theoretical knowledge in the past few days. This process was to separate different medicinal ingredients and then recombine them in the most perfect proportion and way to achieve the ultimate goal. Strong medicinal effect.

The specific principle is very complicated, but he can use his experience as a scientific research dog as an analogy. It is like a drug used in the brain. Because it is not very fat-soluble, it is difficult to pass through the blood-brain barrier. This situation can often be solved by adding fat-soluble properties to the drug molecules. Group solution.

Of course, there are many inaccuracies in this explanation.

Because the elixirs in this world are from a completely different system, but the principle is to allow the medicinal ingredients to exert their effect in the most suitable place.

How far it can be achieved depends on the quality of the medicinal materials and the skill of the alchemist.

a long time.

Multiple strands of medicinal energy merged into one again under the guidance of Zhang Chongfeng.

The next moment, the furnace window was closed, and the open medicine pot was completely sealed.

And Zhang Chongfeng's true energy spurted out as if it was free of charge, and the fire suddenly became several times stronger. The entire alchemy room seemed to be in a sea of ​​fire, burning Zhao Ci's skin.

The alchemy furnace was also burned red.

at last.

"boom!"

The stove top pops up automatically.

Wisps of refreshing medicinal fragrance overflowed.

"The pill is released!"

Zhang Gongfeng was overjoyed and immediately took out a gourd and drew the true energy from the furnace.

"Da da da da..."

Pills fell into the gourd one by one.

Zhao Ci also walked up: "How?"

Zhang Fengfeng's face was almost crooked with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Highness! Dashan, I have produced a total of 27 in this batch!"

"27?"

Zhao Ci was puzzled: "Is it more or less?"

Li Fugui was also extremely pleasantly surprised: "Your Highness! Of course there are too many! For ordinary alchemists to refine Qi training pills, a batch of twelve pills is already pretty good."

Oh!
That's quite a lot.

Zhao Ci was relieved.

Zhang Gongfeng's face glowed red: "Thanks to Your Highness's magical liquid, the medicinal properties of Qi-nourishing grass have been extracted. Otherwise, I would not have dared to quench so much medicine on the spot in the furnace. If I were not careful, the furnace would explode. Risk. Your Highness’s move is really a miracle..."

"Stop blowing rainbow farts! Give me one now!"

Zhao Ci grabbed the gourd directly, poured one out of it and threw it into his mouth.

The elixir melted in his mouth and turned into a stream of heat flowing down his throat. He suddenly felt excited all over his body, as if every cell had entered a state of joy, sucking out traces of true energy into his meridians and pouring into his Dantian.

but……

Zhao Ci's face looked a little unhappy: "Zhang Chongfeng, the quality of this Qi Training Pill doesn't seem to be very high!"

He had taken Qi training pills before.

The one I just took is obviously a notch lower.

The smile on Zhang Gongfeng's face suddenly froze, and he quickly raised his hand and said: "Your Highness! This Qi Training Pill is indeed only of middle grade, but it is already the limit of my subordinate's ability. But Your Highness, don't worry, we have a large output, we will definitely be able to Get a seat at the Gondan Assembly.”

Zhao Ci sighed softly: "I don't blame you, it's just that your idea is too idealistic."

Zhang Gongfeng choked.

Li Fugui couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, what do you think?"

"Let me ask you two questions!"

"Your Highness, please speak."

"First question, do you think the liquid in my bottle was easily obtained?"

"This……"

The two hesitated, yes!If this medicinal liquid could be obtained so easily, the price of Qi Training Pill would have been reduced a long time ago.

Zhao Ci continued to ask: "Zhang Chongfeng is already considered a very strong one among our alchemists, but he can only make mid-grade Qi training pills. What about the others? If your goal is not to be driven away What's the difference between a tribute pill conference and a salted fish?"

The two looked at each other.

This is indeed a big problem.

It is true that the medicinal liquid can increase the quantity, save a lot of energy for the subsequent steps, and also improve the quality of the finished pill.

But based on the average level of their alchemists, it would be difficult for most of them to break through the middle-grade level.

If we just increase the production, we can indeed win a lot of money, but it will only have a foothold. In front of the Feng, Zhu and Yang families, we will still stand as humble as a minions.Unless the baseline quality can reach mid-grade, or even some top-grade products.

For a moment, the two of them looked ashamed.

Zhao Ci asked: "Is there any way to improve it?"

Zhang Gongfeng said quickly: "If we can win the order from the Zhuge family, we should be able to improve a lot!"

Zhao Ci asked again: "Can it be compared to the three families of Feng, Zhu and Yang?"

Zhang Gongfeng had a look of pain on his face: "Your Highness! Aren't you making things difficult for us? How can their old alchemy family compare to us? You should have seen that I made alchemy just now. I am quite skilled at controlling fire. I think I am no better than the three alchemy families." Teacher difference.

But because his talent is not good enough, the temperature of the elixir fire cannot rise before the elixir is released, so he will never be able to compare with those top alchemists. "

"How about taking down the Zhuge family's alchemy furnace?"

“If we win, we should be able to make up some of the gap.”

"All right!"

Zhao Ci was a little disappointed. He also knew that in the closed furnace condensation stage before the elixir was released, the higher the temperature of the flame, the more the medicinal properties could be stimulated.

But the temperature of the flame cannot be determined by hard work at all.

Li Fugui acted as peacemaker: "But it's already very good. We will try our best to get the alchemy furnace in a few days. I only hope that your highness's medicine..."

Zhao Ci nodded: "Don't worry! I will try my best to support you."

"what?"

"what?"

The two were stunned.

Just a little support?
Zhao Ci looked worried, as if he couldn't see their expressions at all: "That's it for today. I have something to do when I go home."

After saying that, he turned around and left the alchemy room.

The two hurriedly followed, asking various questions about the elixir. Zhao Ci frowned and was immersed in his own world, not listening at all.

"Oh!"

When he was leaving the Danfang Gate, a figure bumped into him.

Zhao Ci staggered back several steps and almost sat on the ground.

What a lot of energy.

"Who is it! Not long...hey?"

Zhao Ci was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that he was an acquaintance.

"Zhao Ci?"

Zhu Li was also a little surprised: "Why are you here too? Haven't seen you for a long time!"

Her attitude was quite good, but at first she was a little worried, feeling that it might be Zhao Ci's delaying strategy, but it was actually a trick to gain Kan Luotang's favor.

But he never thought that that afternoon, the emperor summoned Kan Tianji to the palace to discuss the wedding date, and successfully pushed it to three years later.

In the next seven days, Zhao Ci seemed to have disappeared, with no sign of being stalked.

Others still blame it.

is a good man!

"Oh! I'm talking about a business deal."

"Business... Then I wish you fortune! You are a good person and you will definitely get rich!"

Zhu Li sincerely gave her simple blessings and threw a money bag to Li Fugui: "Shopkeeper Li, quickly prepare an alchemy room for me!"

Li Fugui had a headache and looked at Zhang Chongfeng: "Zhang Chongfeng, you're done!"

Watching Zhang Gongfeng leave with Zhu Li.

Zhao Ci was a little curious: "Why do people from the Zhu family come here to rent our alchemy room?"

Li Fugui scratched his head: "Your Highness does not know something. Although Zhu Li is the daughter of the head of the Zhu family, she does not have a good relationship with the family..."

After listening to his story, Zhao Ci suddenly realized.

Although Zhu Li's father is the head of the Zhu family, he only has one daughter, and her talent in alchemy is extremely poor.

The second eldest son of the Zhu family, who was in charge of affairs in Linge, had long had the idea of ​​​​fighting for the position of head of the family, and had even shown a tendency to succeed. How could Zhu Li have an easy life in Linge?

She seemed to want to become a qualified alchemist, but she was born with difficulty controlling fire and often had furnace explosions.

As time went by, I could not hold my head high in the Zhu family and was ridiculed at home.

As for Dayu Law, if you want to buy an alchemy furnace, you must have the corresponding qualifications.

Therefore, she could only choose a small alchemy shop like Li's.

Three or four alchemy furnaces are opened almost every month, and the profit of Li's Alchemy House depends entirely on her.

He is also a problem child.

Zhao Ci smiled and jumped directly onto the carriage.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

Li Fugui still wanted to ask about the liquid medicine, but Zhao Ci's carriage had already rumbled away.

Just at this time, Zhang Gongfeng had arranged an alchemy room for Zhu Li and returned.

Li Fugui said in a deep voice: "You will take care of the alchemy shop today, and I will ask my daughter to ask to see the empress!"
