Chapter 214 A small success in alchemy
in the afternoon.
Alchemy room.
There are quite a lot of people in the alchemy room today. In addition to Yan Mengwan, Duanmu Lan, Chuntao, Ye Lingxi, even Ruyi is there. Today is the day when Wang Qiye starts the furnace for the elixir.
Ever since he organized his two wives to go on a spring outing to the demon land every month and hunt a few monsters, he finally turned the monthly financial loss into profit. Wang Qiye, who had already made great progress in refining second-level elixirs, dared to refine third-level elixirs. Today was the day when the first batch of third-level elixirs, the Pulse Protecting Pill, was produced.
The first furnace did not choose to refine the best-selling third-level Xiao Huan Dan, of course, the reason is to be safe, after all, Xiao Huan Dan is notoriously difficult to refine among the third-level pills. So it is reasonable to choose the relatively simple Humai Dan among the third-level pills.
The Meridian Protecting Pill is something that cultivators of the third realm take to stabilize their meridians and bodies when they break through a realm. Most Dharma cultivators take it, but physical cultivators do not need it. The well-tempered bodies of physical cultivators are the best pills.
This furnace of meridian-protecting pills took a full 270 days to refine. Despite the joint guidance of a fourth-level alchemist and a third-level alchemist, Wang Qiye could not hide his excitement. He smelled the medicinal fragrance emanating from the furnace, but was hesitant to open it.
In fact, all the pills have already become pills when the pill furnace is "maintained" for the last time. The pills will be nurtured in the furnace for a period of time afterwards. This period of time is the key to determining the quality of the pills.
"Open it quickly, my third-level alchemist."
Duanmu Lan joked.
But she never said that. Just by smelling the fragrance of this furnace of pills, one can tell that they are successfully refined. As long as the lid is opened, Wang Qiye will be a genuine third-level alchemist.
There is no standard for evaluating a third-level alchemist. As long as one can refine a batch of third-level pills, he can declare to the outside world that he is a distinguished third-level alchemist.
Wang Qiye walked forward angrily, took a deep breath, and still cast the spell.
"Ding."
With a crisp sound, the lid of the alchemy furnace opened, and the rich scent of plants and trees overflowed, filling the entire alchemy room with fragrance.
"Not bad, one top-grade pill, ten mid-grade pills, and 70 low-grade pills. For the first time refining a third-grade pill, it's pretty good. Not only did I save the money, I also made a little money."
Duanmu Lan gave a brief comment.
"Congratulations, you have also become a third-level alchemist."
Yan Mengwan turned around and congratulated with a smile.
"Thank you. Without you and Duanmu Lan, I wouldn't have been able to grow so fast."
Wang Qiye nodded to her sincerely.
"In this case, I have nothing to teach you."
What Yan Mengwan said sounded somewhat lonely.
"The road to the third-level elixir has just begun. We can communicate more in the future."
Wang Qiye should have been happy at this moment, but for some reason, he just couldn't be happy.
"Well, will you attend this medicine improvement exchange meeting?"
Yan Mengwan thought of something and spoke.
"I'm not interested. They just like to brag and talk in secret. They can talk about the second-level elixirs in detail, but when it comes to the high-level elixirs, they start to be vague. They just want to enjoy the admiration of others."
Wang Qiye turned around and started taking out porcelain bottles, putting ten pills into a bottle, and then handed it to Ruyi beside him.
"In fact, it's not bad to listen to them. Sometimes, their unintentional words can be very inspiring."
Yan Mengwan gave another piece of advice.
"The alchemy industry is so strict about family background, and you still have illusions about them?"
Wang Qiye has a dirty nose.
Seeing that he was determined to do so, Yan Mengwan didn't want to persuade him anymore.
The three of them are now more or less a small team. They exchange their experiences in alchemy with each other, and everyone makes rapid progress. Now Yan Mengwan has already refined only third-grade pills.
"What Wang Qiye said is right. It is better to practice a few more furnaces by yourself than to listen to them. The elixir you have refined once will be basically the same the next time you refine it. They are just guarding a few details, but those are also figured out by their ancestors. These things are easy to understand once they are explained, and there is no gold content. If they don't work hard to guard them, who will respect them?"
Duanmu Lan came over and nodded in agreement.
"Duanmu Lan, tell me about your tricks."
Wang Qiye looked at the quiet woman next to him with envy.
"Okay, come to my room tonight, kowtow three times under my skirt, and listen to me obediently in the future, and I will pass it on to you."
Duanmu Lan said in a relaxed manner.
"Why does it have to be at night?"
Wang Qiye felt that their school was somewhat abnormal and deformed, otherwise it would not have produced someone with such a twisted mentality like Duanmu Lan.
"Because there are some inheritances that you still need to learn."
Duanmu Lan's eyes were twinkling with stars, but Wang Qiye felt cold all over. He even imagined that when the two of them were in the same room at night, Duanmu Lan would make all kinds of perverted requests. Just thinking about it made him shudder.
Yan Mengwan was a little envious. Wang Qiye had an opportunity that many people could not get even if they begged for it. Besides, Duanmu Lan was also a top-notch beauty, and she was still a virgin. Even if she had some perverted requests, it seemed that Wang Qiye was the one who got the advantage.
"If you're willing to teach, then teach. Don't go through all these roundabout ways."
Wang Qiye, who had been giving birth on his knees, was unusually persistent on this matter for some reason.
"Humph, is being my slave so unfair to you? Do you know how many people are queuing behind you?"
Duanmu Lan gave him a resentful look, not knowing what he was insisting on.
"Whoever wants to do it can do it, but I won't do it."
It is not known whether Wang Qiye’s complaint was directed at her or at the old times. In the old days, love was based on family background. He did not expect that after traveling through time, he would learn that alchemy was also based on family background. How could he not hate it?
"Don't do it, it's like I'm begging you."
Duanmu Lan seemed to be angry as well and turned her face away.
"Okay, stop arguing. Master Yu will accept a new alchemy disciple next month. Would you like to go and take a look? Master Yu only accepts one alchemy disciple a year. It's a rare opportunity. With your financial resources, it shouldn't be a problem."
Yan Mengwan acted as a peacemaker again, persuading the two of them.
"If I don't go, I might as well be a slave to Duanmu Lan, that vampire."
Wang Qiye sneered.
"But Master Yu accepted the money, so at least he was sincere in teaching, and he has a good reputation in the alchemy world. He is not like some hypocritical alchemy masters who can't even refine a third-level pill after following him for three or four years."
Yan Mengwan was secretly worried about him.
"As for him, the initial cost is expensive, and he also takes 10% of the profit from each furnace of pills after he leaves the master. Even the cows in the production team dare not use them like this."
Wang Qiye was shaking his head as he spoke.
"You don't want to do this, and you don't want to do that. When will you be able to make a fourth-level pill?"
Yan Mengwan's eyes were red.
"Senior Sister, I have just opened a furnace of third-level pills, and it is still too early to make fourth-level pills."
Seeing her like this, Wang Qiye's stubborn words softened.
"Junior brother, you are different from my senior sister. My senior sister refined second-grade pills for 10 years before she started to refine third-grade pills. And my master is famous for being a "one-furnace master". He can only refine that one furnace of third-grade pills in his life, and that is the only kind of pill he is best at. I was able to succeed in refining it after being influenced by him for a long time. But you have only been refining second-grade pills for a year, and you started to refine third-grade pills, and you succeeded. I don't want your talent to be buried."
Yan Mengwan sighed, not knowing whether he had heard her or not.
"Let's talk about the future later. I don't even have a good alchemy furnace right now. It's a bit early to talk about fourth-level elixirs."
Wang Qiye smiled slightly and said in a friendly manner.
"Anyway, I have already taught you everything I can teach you. The three of us can also work together to figure out how to refine other third-level pills. Senior Sister has no way to refine fourth-level pills."
Yan Mengwan rolled her eyes at him.
"There must be a way. Look, Senior Sister, aren't the third-level pills in these three furnaces all fine? As long as the second, third, and fourth furnaces don't explode, it proves that our alchemy theory is still feasible. I don't believe that with our wisdom, we can't research a fourth-level pill. Don't you think so, Duanmu Lan?"
Wang Qiye looked at the quiet woman.
"Wang Qiye, you want to get something for free again? Forget it."
Duanmu Lan rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.
"How can it be free? I can pay for it."
Wang Qiye said seductively.
"No, I can also give you money if you agree to be my slave."
Duanmu Lan's eyes were full of spring water, which was very tempting.
"Why are you bringing this up again? I just don't understand. As a disciple of yours, why do you value this slave so much?"
Wang Qiye curled his lips.
"Because my master said that I can find a slave to repay him for the suffering I have endured in the future. You are the person I want to take revenge on."
Duanmu Lan looked at him with a smile on her face, as peaceful as a poem.
Wang Qiye felt that Duanmu Lan's master must have been tortured into a pervert to teach such a perverted Duanmu Lan. At the end of the cultivation, was it because everyone had lived too long that their psychology began to become abnormal? Those things that Wang Qiye thought were abnormal, everyone was actually accustomed to them, and they didn't know who was abnormal?
"Duanmu Lan, has your master ever told you that you are sick?"
"How do you know? One time, Master said I had a cold, so he put me in a cold storage for three days and three nights. My temperature did go down, but then I caught a cold again, so Master put me in a big pot and boiled me for three days and three nights before I was cured."
Duanmu Lan was a little surprised that Wang Qiye knew all this.
"Then he is really very good to you."
Wang Qiye's voice trembled. It was true that only a perverted person could teach another perverted person.
"You know, my master treats me the best, so I want to treat you well, so how about you be my slave?"
Duanmu Lan smiled lightly, that smile was as bright as the stars.
