The old shopkeeper's surname was Ma, and after the shopkeeper packed the medicinal materials, Xiang Fei also silently helped him put the medicinal materials on the flatbed.

The shopkeeper is old and walks slowly, and Lan Wan and Chen Xiaoyou are both women, naturally, Xiang Fei has become the coolie who pulls the flatbed car.

He pulled the flatbed cart and followed the shopkeeper to a gushing spring, and then stopped in surprise.

"That's it. The shopkeeper said.

"You're not kidding, this is a hot spring, how can you make an alchemy at this temperature?" Xiang Fei stretched out his hand and probed the seawater inside, the temperature was high, but the heat was limited.

"Hehe, don't worry, push this away. After speaking, the shopkeeper pointed to a black boulder on the side.

Xiang Fei listened, looked at it fixedly, and realized that this was actually a cold stone.

Thinking of this kind of primeval sea, full of such cold stones, he was not overly surprised, and after pushing the boulder away as he said, he immediately felt a scorching breath coming from a small hole.

"Is there a volcano down here?" Xiang Fei exclaimed, glancing at the red entrance of the cave.

"I don't know if it's a volcano, anyway, in the nearly 1,000-year history of Liuxian Island, it has never erupted, so it should be safe. The shopkeeper said.

"Your hearts are so big, if they do erupt, the entire inhabitants of the island will probably have to be buried together. Xiang Fei said.

"No, I heard that before this island, it was still a barren land, and then it was sealed by a great monk with a formation, and at the same time, this is also the only geothermal outlet. The shopkeeper said.

"Okay, I'll try to see if it's the first time I've used this alchemy. After Xiang Fei finished speaking, he took down the packaged medicinal materials, sorted them into categories, and put them away one by one.

After that, Xiang Fei began to refine the first furnace of Zhuangqi Pill.

At first, Lan Wan and Chen Xiaoyou both watched with interest, and after watching for half an hour, they found that Xiang Fei was still there refining medicinal materials in an orderly manner, and finally lost patience, and went to the side to chat together, chatting and waiting, for fear of disturbing Xiang Fei.

Only the shopkeeper was more patient, and he had been silently watching Xiang Fei's every move, his eyes shining, as if he wanted to steal some skills.

"Poof......" was accompanied by a soft sound, and the first furnace of elixir failed.

Because this kind of natural earth fire is not as stable as the fire source provided by the flame stone, it is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and it is extremely difficult to control, Xiang Fei is a halfway monk, and his level is limited, so he can only accumulate experience through this kind of failure, so the success rate is not too high.

After this failure, Xiang Fei slowly found his senses, and his control of the heat became more and more proficient. 【… … Better, newer, faster]

But the good times didn't last long, and when the pill was about to be harvested, the ground fire suddenly erupted, and because the heat was too high, Xiang Fei couldn't withdraw the furnace, and the pill that had just been condensed exploded in an instant, turning into a pile of black ash.

"Still can't do it?" The shopkeeper also saw that there was a problem, and his heart hung in the air.

It stands to reason that such a large package of medicinal materials should be more than enough to refine five Zhuangbo Pills, but if Xiang Fei keeps failing, then not only will his medicinal materials be lost, but it is likely that he will not be able to get the Zhuangbo Pill.

And, because it's self-sufficient

has taken the initiative to propose, if Xiang Fei fails completely, it is not realistic to make him admit the debt of 500,000 yuan.

"Don't worry, the next furnace is guaranteed to be fine. Xiang Fei comforted.

With this lesson, when refining the pill, he would also pay close attention to the situation of the earth fire, and if the situation was not right, he would immediately move the alchemy furnace to ensure that the pill was stable and heated, so that the pill would not be fried.

"Good luck, I'll sit on the side for a while, it's too hot. "The shopkeeper is a handful of years old, and he has been roasting with him for an hour here, and his mouth is already dry, and he is supported by a spirit, and now he is half of his breath vented, and he can't stabilize it.

"Okay. Xiang Fei also understood the reaction of the shopkeeper, adjusted his emotions, and began to refine the third furnace of pills with confidence.

This time, everything went quite smoothly, there was no conflict of medicinal properties, no ground fire trouble, however, when Xiang Fei collected the pill, the accident happened again - it was still fried pill.

"It's fried again, what's going on? shouldn't be. Xiang Fei silently recalled his methods and alchemy process, there was no problem, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

"Hehe, I heard you say that your level was limited, and I thought it was self-humility, but now it seems that you just told the truth. Chen Xiaoyou joked with a grin.

"Xiang Fei, don't mind, there is still a chance, take your time, even if you fail, I can help you advance the money for the medicinal materials first, and then pay me back when you get to Wuji Island." Lan Wan said thoughtfully.

"Listen, learn from your sister Wanwan, and do less in the future. Xiang Fei said with contempt for Chen Xiaoyou.

Under Xiang Fei's second consecutive defeat, the shopkeeper's confidence in him was already seriously insufficient, but seeing that everything was going well this time, Xiang Fei still failed, and he was even more unstable.

The shopkeeper glanced at the remaining medicinal materials, no matter how bad they were, these medicinal materials could be worth two or three hundred thousand, so let's save a little.

So, he rolled his eyes, walked over and said, "Xiang Fei, it's already afternoon, and it's getting dark, so why don't you do it next time." ”

Of course, Xiang Fei knew what the old shopkeeper was thinking, and with his temperament, of course he wanted to continue refining, if he let the old shopkeeper leave today, it was estimated that there would be no next time.

However, after three consecutive defeats, he was not sure if he could find out the problem, and if he continued to practice, it seemed that there would be no good results.

While he was struggling, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in Xiang Fei's ears.

"It's really stupid, the aura here is more abundant than Huaxia, the Zhuangju Pill can only be regarded as an ordinary pill, and the aura that can be carried is quite limited, if you still collect the pill according to the previous rhythm, it will definitely explode, just collect the pill a little earlier, don't let the pill absorb too much aura." ”

Hearing Fairy Yu's reminder, Xiang Fei suddenly realized, knowing that the three of them couldn't hear it, he immediately said: "Shopkeeper Ma, wait a minute, give me another chance, I promise that it will definitely work out this time!"

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he said: "There is a way, there are only three things, you have failed three times, and if you are given another chance, I am afraid that you will still fail, you can rest assured."

, The cost of those medicinal materials before, just as the old man's investment failed, you and I should bear half of it. ”

"No, you give me these medicinal herbs, and I promise to give you five strong body pills in return. Xiang Fei said confidently.

The shopkeeper looked at Xiang Fei seriously a few times and said, "Have you found out the crux of the problem?"

"Yes, so, this time, I will definitely succeed!" Xiang Fei said.

The shopkeeper listened, sighed, and said: "Okay, then I'll believe you again, no matter what, if it fails again this time, our previous agreement will be null and void." ”

"Xiang Fei, if you are under too much pressure, I will help you buy the medicinal herbs, even if you are not in a good state today, you can continue tomorrow, as long as you believe in yourself, I will believe you!" Lan Wan said seriously.

"Husband, come on, I'm the same as Sister Wanwan, in fact, I've always believed in your ability!" Chen Xiaoyou waved his fist and cheered for Xiang Fei, but that tone didn't sound like it was sincere.

"Don't make a mess, as long as you don't shout, I promise you will succeed this time. Lanwan, you take the little demon to dinner first, and I'll go to you after refining the Dan, it's estimated that it will be late. Xiang Fei said.

"No, I've been waiting for so long, and it's not too late, we have to stay by your side and witness success with you!" Lan Wan said confidently.

"Okay, old man, I'll wait a little longer, don't be in a hurry about eating. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he also sat aside, looking like he was waiting for good news.

"Started ......"

Xiang Fei silently thought in his heart, and began a new attempt with concentration......
