Chapter 55: The Problematic Dan Furnace (2nd Update)
"Condensing Pill, Condensing Pill, Condensing Pill, Turning Golden Pill, Soul Returning Pill, Soul Nourishing Pill."
When Xiaoqing put the name of the alchemy furnace and the pill that needed to be refined on my desk, I roughly checked the alchemy furnace and the test questions with the name of the pill written on it, and then sneered in my heart.
There is no problem with the test questions, it is true that all of them are medium-grade elixirs, and they are the same as the test questions of other examiners.
The problem is the alchemy furnace.
The alchemy furnaces provided by the Alchemist Guild are all the most ordinary alchemy furnaces, not up to the grade, and the styles are all the same, at a glance, the furnaces of the ten of us are exactly the same, no problem at all.
But if I carefully examine the furnace in front of me, I will find that there is one more thing in this alchemy furnace than the other nine people's furnacesβa very small explosive.
Moreover, the explosive was not hidden inside the furnace, but was placed in a mezzanine at the bottom of the alchemy furnace, and after carefully examining the interlayer, I found that the small interlayer of the splint was actually made of materials that could isolate the temperature for a short time.
As we all know, alchemy is to start a fire, and although the temperature of the flame does not change, the temperature of the wall and the surrounding area of the alchemy furnace will increase with the increase of alchemy time.
And the interlayer that hides the small bomb can also isolate the temperature in a short time, that is to say, in the two processes of refining and purifying, the furnace will not explode, as for the later Ning Dan, Ji Dan and Cheng Dan which process will explode, it is not certain.
For alchemists, the more you get to the back of the medicine refining steps, the easier it is to make mistakes. At best, all alchemy materials will be scrapped, and at worst, they will be ...... Hmph, there are also Dan furnaces that explode on the spot!
Xiaoqing hits, that's what you pay attention to!
"Now, everyone check the alchemy furnace, if there is no problem, let's get started!"
Master Gu Hua didn't notice Xiao Qing's conspiracy, and after finishing speaking, he lowered his head to review the topic of the spirit grass that he had handed in earlier.
Looking at my own problematic stove, and at Xiaoqing, who was smiling triumphantly, I grinned at him. He raised his hand again: "Master Guhua." I have another problem. β
Hearing this, Master Gu Hua raised his head from the test question, and since I had indeed had a situation before, he did not show any more dissatisfaction. First glanced at Xiaoqing suspiciously. Then he said to me, "This son." What's going on again? β
I glanced at the alchemists who were picking up the furnace and inspecting it inside and out, and asked with a smile, "The so-called inspection must be like them." Observe the appearance? Can I light a fire? If the alchemy furnace is not strong, and the fire will crack, wouldn't it be a waste of so many alchemy materials? β
When the middle-aged man in the middle-grade cloth armor who was inspecting the stove above his head heard this, he gave me a blank look: "Do you think the Dan furnace of the Alchemist Guild is all tofu scum?" Or how powerful is your own tinder? It's still on fire, and it cracks! Why don't you just blow it up? β
Master Gu Hua obviously thought that I was finding fault, and glanced at me with dissatisfaction: "This son, since our Alchemist Guild conducted the alchemist level test, there has never been a problem with the furnace provided, and you say this because you are extremely distrustful of our guild!" β
Xiao Qing also sneered: "That is, it is common for the furnace to explode during the refining process, but it has nothing to do with the furnace itself, it is caused by the explosion of the refining materials caused by the improper operation of the refiner." This son, you have found fault again and again, I really doubt that you are really here to assess! β
Hearing his words, the look on Master Gu Hua's face just became displeased: "If this prince is suspicious of our Alchemist Guild, you don't have to come here to participate in the assessment, and the Medicine Sect can also provide proof for your alchemy level." β
As the place where the two major alchemists in the cultivation world gather, the Medicine Sect and the Medicine Master Guild have never been very compatible, and it seems that he is treating me as a medicine sect to make trouble.
"Did I really find fault on purpose? I did have a problem with the question in the last test, didn't I? β
I didn't bother to pay attention to their doubts and slapped me in the face with facts.
"Uh......" Master Gu Hua was stunned, and what he wanted to say was so stiff in his mouth, and finally flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "If you want to check, check it, hmph, our guild is sitting upright, even if you have a top-level fire, the stove we provide will not be so easy to have problems!" β
Xiaoqing also snorted coldly: "This son, I advise you not to start a fire, otherwise don't blame others for your own humiliation when the time comes!" β
"Heh......" chuckled, and I corrected his words seriously: "How can you say that you are humiliating?" If the stove is fine, shouldn't I be relieved? β
"Uh......" Xiaoqing blinked, speechless.
I ignored him, put the stove in the middle of the table, glanced at the people in front of me and on the left, and reminded lightly: "You'd better unfold your spiritual power shield and body, although the reputation of the Alchemist Guild has always been very good, but if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of what if, isn't it?" β
Hearing this, Master Gu Hua's face became even more ugly, and the two people I named looked at each other for a moment, looked at Master Gu Hua's ugly face, and then looked at the stove in my hand, and did not move.
I've done my duty to warn, and since they don't believe me, I can't do anything about it.
Shrugging, I grinned at Xiaoqing again, and then lit the fire.
The scorching flame overflowed from the fingertips, and after falling into the stove, it "buzzed" and burned, and the dark red flame was not ordinary at first glance, and as soon as the flame came out, the whole room was plunged into a scorching torment.
Xiao Qing's face changed drastically, and he who was only at the level of a spiritual cultivator quickly unfolded his spiritual power shield, however, it was too late.
"Bang!"
With a violent explosion, a two-meter radius with the alchemy furnace as the center was covered with billowing smoke and dust, and this smoke and dust actually emitted a strong smell of fire and medicine!
When the smoke cleared, everyone within two meters of me, except for the dazed-looking tester in the back, who was unaffected because of my cover, the three including Xiaoqing.
Most of the alchemists are not very strong, and the people in front of me and on the left are all the strength of the early stage of the spiritual cultivator, although they did not unfold the spiritual power shield, but their physical strength was originally stronger than that of Xiaoqing, a spiritual cultivator, so they were the same as Xiaoqing, and they were only slightly injured.
When the billowing smoke and dust cleared, I looked at Xiaoqing with my arms crossed, withdrew my smile for the first time, and asked coldly: "Master Xiaoqing, can you tell me why you unfolded your spiritual shield before the explosion occurred?" β
Although he unfolded his spiritual power shield, he was still slightly injured because of his lack of strength, his hands and face exposed outside his clothes were blown apart, and the blood flowing from his body blackened by smoke and dust was also black, which looked terrifying and disgusting.
Hearing my words, his face changed, and he shook his head regardless of the pain in his body and said, "I'm just, just ......" (to be continued......
