Chapter 1957: Building an Alchemy Furnace

The fifth ancestor looked mysterious, and Zhen Cheng was shocked. Watching the Fifth Ancestor take out a yellowed sketch from his pocket and smell the familiar medicinal fragrance, Zhen Cheng knew what the Fifth Ancestor had let him do.

"Any idea what this is?" The Fifth Ancestor cautiously opened the sketch and asked with a serious expression.

"Know! This is a sketch of the structure of the alchemy furnace! Although he is not engaged in mechanical manufacturing, at a glance, Zhen Cheng knows what is drawn on that piece of paper.

"This is not just an alchemy furnace, this is the lifeblood of whether we can continue to open Kabo Peak! You are the eldest disciple of the Jindan Sect, so this matter of building the alchemy furnace is up to you to complete! ”

"I haven't refined Dan, I just know this thing, is it too hasty for me to complete such a major thing?" Zhen Cheng didn't rush to receive the sketch of the alchemy furnace, frowning, and questioned in surprise.

The old face of the fifth ancestor was red, but it was fleeting. glanced at Zhen Cheng, and after thinking for a while, he sighed helplessly.

"If Uncle Shi has something to say, just say it directly, it's all a family, don't hide it!" Seeing that the five ancestors seemed to be quite embarrassed, Zhen Cheng sensibly encouraged.

"How do you say that?" The fifth ancestor's old face turned even redder, and he smiled a little embarrassedly, and then said, "The alchemy furnace that your master is using now was built by me when I went down the mountain decades ago and built it according to his requirements!" I can't remember how many times I've gone down the mountain! Alchemy is a thing that can't be sloppy, and the importance of this alchemy furnace doesn't need to be talked about! This time when you go down the mountain, in addition to telling me to find you and bring you back to Kaikabo Peak, another secret commission is to let me build a new alchemy furnace and bring it back to the peak! ”

"So that doesn't work?" Zhen Cheng had a look of sudden realization, and said with a puzzled face, "Before I go down the mountain, the master's alchemy furnace can still be used normally, how can I say that I can change it?" ”

"I don't understand your master's thoughts! But since Lao Jiu said that he wanted to change the alchemy furnace, then I can't help but agree, right? ”

"That's right! That's right! Without the elixir, we don't need to cultivate when we open Kabo Peak! "Zhen Cheng is very involved in the play, and he counts himself as a part of Kaikabo Peak, without the slightest pretentiousness, which is very natural." Since the fifth master was in charge of this matter last time, it is better to continue to be responsible this time! The last alchemy furnace was very successful, so wouldn't it be enough to build an identical one this time? ”

"Do you think I don't want to?" The Fifth Ancestor shook his head helplessly with a wry smile and said, "Last time, I found that master in the Golden Triangle, and when I went down the mountain to look for it this time, that master had been dead for five years!" ”

"Dead?" With a stunned expression on his face, Zhen Cheng said regretfully, "That's really troublesome!" ”

"Whether it's Myanmar or Huaxia, it's easy to find big factories now, but it's hard to find small handicraft workshops! Even if they find it, they are all some low-skilled masters, where can anyone process this alchemy furnace! ”

"Must it be handmade?" Zhen Cheng couldn't understand that with the accuracy of the current process, the factory must be better than the manual one.

"It must be handmade, and it must be made of the prescribed material in one go! In other words, this alchemy furnace is refined, not created! Seeing that Zhen Cheng didn't understand, the fifth ancestor patiently explained, without the slightest impatience on his face.

"That's a big problem!" Zhen Cheng suddenly realized, then turned his head to look at the Fifth Ancestor and asked, "When you made this alchemy furnace back then, didn't you think about making a few more spares?" ”

"I've made three, but the one that can really be used is your master's current one! The firing of this alchemy furnace is more difficult than porcelain! Alas! If I had known this, I should have asked that master to do a few more! The five ancestors were full of frustration, and they couldn't stop shaking their heads and sighing.

"What does the fifth master mean, do you want to hand over this matter to me?" Zhen Cheng pointed to the alchemy furnace manuscript paper in the hand of the fifth ancestor, and asked with a reluctant face.

"Didn't you kid just say that you did well in Yanjing? Since this is the case, then the matter of this alchemy furnace will be built by you with full authority! I'm also old this year, so I'm only suitable for inspecting goods or something! After the fifth ancestor finished speaking, he solemnly put the manuscript in his hand in front of Zhen Cheng.

"Ahem!" Zhen Cheng regretted that he had bragged to Wu Yaozu just now, coughed dryly, and looked at the alchemy furnace production drawings in front of him, a little difficult.

If this matter is simple, with the character of the Five Ancestors, it will definitely not be easy for this secret to leak out; Now that the five ancestors seem to trust themselves, they will definitely not succeed if they refuse.

"You're young, but you're capable! The future Jindanmen depends on a few of you, as a senior brother, you have to take on more responsibilities! You just said that you want to stay in Yanjing for a while longer, this is a great opportunity! The fifth ancestor had the expression of a wolf grandmother, and she looked very intimidating.

"Then can I wait until the alchemy furnace is finished before returning to the mountain?" The conditions of the five ancestors made it difficult for Zhen Cheng to refuse, Zhen Cheng glanced at the structural sketch of the alchemy furnace and asked very seriously.

"You can't delay it for too long, your master's temper, you don't know! It's only three months at most! The Fifth Ancestor saw that Zhen Cheng was moved, and replied solemnly with secret joy in his heart.

"Three months?" Thinking about my mess, three months seems like a difficult time to deal with. "In three months, I have to find not only the materials, but also the master who refines the Dan furnace, plus the time to refine this thing, where is three months enough!"

"What you said is true, but I won't say much about your master's character, and you know it! In this way, you work hard first, and when you find the master who refines the Dan Furnace, we will decide!" But I warn you, you can't deceive me, or you'll be waiting to be dealt with!" ”

"Xiexie is considerate!" Zhen Cheng nodded in embarrassment, picked up the construction diagram of the alchemy furnace, and looked at it to himself.

"Be careful, this sketch is old! This paper is crispy, you be careful not to get flowers! The material and size are clearly written on it, if you can't see it clearly, you can come and ask me! ”

"Got it! I don't understand, I'll definitely ask you! Zhen Cheng replied very cheerfully, and after putting away the drawings, he was about to get up and walk out of the study.

"Why are you going?" Seeing that Zhen Cheng was about to leave, the Fifth Ancestor hurriedly stopped, "I haven't finished talking about my business yet!" ”

"Anything else?" Zhen Cheng was unusually puzzled and surprised, and hurriedly explained, "I want to bring you some fruit!" ”

"Don't eat! Let's talk about things first! The Fifth Ancestor waved his hand and refused, motioning for Zhen Cheng to sit down again. It should have been a while since you returned to Yanjing, let me ask you, are there any cultivators in this Yanjing City like we opened Kabo Peak? Thinking about the situation in Yujian, the five ancestors felt that it was necessary for him to learn about it briefly through Zhen Cheng.

"Nope!" As soon as the Fifth Ancestor's voice fell, Zhen Cheng replied decisively and simply.

"Think about it!" For Zhen Cheng's answer, the fifth ancestor was not very satisfied, especially Zhen Cheng didn't want to think about it, it was very casual.

"To be honest, I don't know if there are any cultivators in Yanjing! At my level, how do I know if there are any other cultivation sects in Yanjing? There are quite a few ancient martial arts cultivators, but I really don't know if there are any people who cultivate the truth. Could it be that Uncle Shi found that someone who cultivated truth appeared in Yanjing? ”

The fifth ancestor's inquiry made Zhen Cheng's heart tense. Zhen Cheng was not thinking of the cultivators of Yanjing, but of the Yunsong Dao people of Savage Mountain, the Himalayan Academy.

Yunsong Dao people are dead, and the Himalayan Academy will find out sooner or later. If the other party pursues it, it is likely to look around. But with his own method of disposing of the corpse of the Yunsong Dao people, even if the aliens come, it is impossible to track down Yanjing's self, right?

"Oh!" Seeing Zhen Cheng's honest appearance, the fifth ancestor nodded. Indeed, at Zhen Cheng's age, if he hadn't arrived at Kaikabo Peak by accident, he really shouldn't have known about the existence of a cultivator. Chen Yi has the cultivation of the middle stage of Jindan, and Zhen Cheng can't recognize it even if he sees it face-to-face.

"If Uncle Shi wants to find someone, you can tell me about the general appearance and body shape, maybe I have a way to help Uncle Shi find this person!" Plan ahead and prepare in advance, if there is really a cultivator who makes the five ancestors care about it, then you should indeed prepare in advance. In case it's really a Himalayan college, you should be on guard in advance.

"Not really!" The Fifth Ancestor waved his hand, glanced at Zhen Cheng's dantian and asked, "What's the situation with your dantian?" Ever since I knew you, why can't I see your cultivation clearly? ”

"I don't know about this either! Listening to my master, I may have had a problem while cultivating, and it should be what it looks like during the Qi cultivation period! The fifth ancestor glanced at the dantian, and Zhen Cheng felt uncomfortable. Fortunately, the Five Ancestors couldn't see through their own cultivation, otherwise with their strength in the foundation building period, they would definitely arouse the suspicion of the Five Ancestors. If this old guy subjectively thinks of himself as a spy of some cultivation sect, then he is really at a loss for words!

"Give me your hand!" The eyes of the fifth ancestor were unusually cold, staring at Zhen Cheng's dantian, very unwilling.

"Does Uncle Shi know how to read palmistry?" Zhen Cheng didn't immediately give his hand to the Fifth Ancestor, and asked with a smile on his face.

"I'm going to test your cultivation!" There was a hint of doubt in the Fifth Ancestor's determined gaze, and he once again emphasized, "Hurry up and give me your hand!" ”

"Alright then!" Zhen Cheng's heart was in his throat, as if he had plagiarized a hundred points and was about to retake the test under the supervision of the teacher, he was nervous and sweaty in his palms.
