Chapter 130: First Meeting Alchemist I
Taiqu County is only about 50 kilometers away from Wufang City, Zhang Baobao rushed to Taiqu County that day, after all, the toxins in his body will not wait for anyone, and only by seeing the alchemist as soon as possible can he determine the solution to the toxins in his body.
Taiqu County is not a big place, and Director Zhang's master Qianjibian is quite famous in the local area, so Zhang Baobao quickly inquired about the mansion of the alchemist Qianjibian.
"Bang Bang"
After knocking on the door, the door was opened by a teenage boy, who seemed to be an apprentice of an alchemist.
After entering the courtyard, Zhang Baobao found that this courtyard was far larger than what he saw on the outside, and it must cost a lot of money to buy such a large courtyard in Taiqu County.
After passing through the two moon gates along the courtyard path, Zhang Baobao saw a corner similar to a blacksmith shop, where an old man with crane hair and a childish face was teaching a few apprentices.
"Concentration! If you want to become an alchemist, one of the first abilities you need to have is to fire the Dan furnace, and it is impossible to refine a good Dan furnace without a good Dan furnace! Therefore, an alchemist must not only have superb alchemy skills, but also have superb skills in firing the Dan furnace......
"Master, this guest said that he has something important to do with you. ”
"Oh?"
The old man with a childish face turned his head, and when he looked at Zhang Baobao, who looked like a young man in front of him, his face immediately showed contempt, "You, what are you looking for the old man?"
"Hello Master Qian, I am a high school student, and I have come to Taiqu County to consult you about alchemy. My name is ......" Zhang Baobao spoke humbly and politely.
"Humph!"
But before Zhang Baobao's words were finished, Qianjichang's face sank, and he snorted coldly, "Huangkou Xiao'er, you actually dare to talk about alchemy? I'm busy here, I don't have time to talk to you, Zhang Hang!
As soon as Qianji's voice fell, the little boy who had just sent him in walked to his side, "Sir, please!"
"What are you looking at!?Why don't you hurry up and burn the Dan Furnace!?" Qianji said sternly to a few apprentices on the side.
"Haha!
Zhang Baobao turned his body and glanced in the direction of several apprentices firing the Dan furnace, and suddenly laughed, and Qianjibian's already unhappy face became even more gloomy, "Shaft! You are not here to find trouble! You actually dare to laugh out loud in my Dan room!?"
"Oh. Master don't blame!" Zhang Baobao hurriedly clenched his fists and apologized, "Just now I just saw that the method of burning the Dan furnace was ridiculous, so I lost my mind and laughed for a while." Please don't blame the master, excuse me, I'll leave now. ”
After that, Zhang Baobao walked out without looking back.
"Stop!"
Since you dare to laugh at my apprentice's refining method, then you can stay and talk about it, if you can't tell me why, I'll let you know my Qianjichang's method!
"Master, listen to what you mean, are you going to ask me for advice?" Zhang Baobao said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"You!"
As soon as Zhang Baobao's words came out, Qianji, who was holding his hands behind his back, was so angry that he almost cocked his beard!
"Oh, since the master judges people by their appearance in this way, there must be no real talent to learn. It's the juniors who are abrupt, so let's leave!" After that, Zhang Baobao strode out.
"Wait!"
Qianji was very annoyed, and wanted to teach the arrogant young man in front of him a lesson, but he was afraid that he would let others say that he was bullying the small, so it was better to keep this kid and let him say it, if it was wrong, it would not be too late to teach him a lesson. Insulting alchemists is a taboo in the industry, but I am afraid that if this kid steps out of this door today, he will become the public enemy of all alchemists in Hexi Province!
"Little brother, slow down!"
Qianji's tone softened significantly, "Little brother, stay here, stay back." It was the old man's words just now, since the little brother has great talents, he can see my loopholes here, and he can't help but point out one or two, the old man is grateful!"
The corners of the baby's mouth are raised, and this is what he wants. He immediately turned around and walked back to the alchemist Qianjichang's side, "Master, these apprentices of yours have some problems with the way they refine the Dan Furnace now. ”
"Little brother, but it's okay to say!" Qianji changed the anger in his heart, as long as what you said was wrong for a while, see how I clean you up!
"Hmm. If my expectations are correct, after the master's Dan furnace is used for a period of time, the quality of the refined pills will decline or even the Dan furnace will be completely scrapped, I don't know if it's right?"
"What? How does he know?"
"The first time I saw us firing the Dan furnace, you could guess the problem we encountered!?
"Who is this man?"
……
After listening to Zhang Baobao's words, several apprentices who fired the Dan furnace were all talking to each other, whispering, and the alchemist Qianji's face was also the color of pig liver, and when he saw this scene, Zhang Baobao knew that he was right.
"Uh...... , what the little brother said is good. Qianji didn't admit it, and then asked suspiciously, "I don't know how the little brother knew?"
"Hahaha. Zhang Baobao laughed loudly a few times, "This matter is very easy, I just walked into the courtyard and found that the disciples used all the iron with a carbon content of more than six percent when firing the Dan furnace, although the Dan furnace refined with this material is very well formed, but in the process of use, it is inevitable that some small cracks will appear due to the quenching of the flame high temperature, which will affect the effect of alchemy." ”
"Therefore, using an alchemy furnace of this specification, at first it was possible to refine the pill of the desired quality, but as time passed, the pill furnace was slightly damaged, and the quality of the pill refined would inevitably decline!
After Zhang Baobao finished speaking, several alchemy apprentices next to him all nodded silently, and Qianjibian also fell into contemplation, and after a while, Qianjibian walked up to Zhang Baobao and bowed his hand respectfully, and said, "Little brother is right!
Zhang Baobao hurriedly returned the gift, "Student Zhang Baobao of Wufang City, Hexi Province." ”
"Oh, what does it have to do with Zhang Baobao, who won the second-class medal of the 'National Defender' of the Pearl Country?" Qianjibian's eyes widened, looking at the young man in front of him with expectation.
"It's the students!"
"Hey!" The doubt on Qianji's face instantly turned into surprise, "I said why is the little brother so powerful, it turned out to be Zhang Baobao, the old man has admired his name for a long time!"
"Oh, the master knows me?" Zhang Baobao felt strange, the first time he came to Taiqu County, how could he know himself?
When you came back, our Hexi Provincial Alchemist Branch also went to pick up the station, but the old man was old, so he didn't go. I hope the little brother won't be surprised. ”
