This was the first warlock Cao Shuo found, and his name was Song Yuan.

"Poor Dao is Yu Ji's apprentice, and now that Yu Ji has been killed, he has come to seek refuge with Cao Shuo's son!" Song Yuan said after bowing to Cao Shuo.

Hearing the name Yu Ji, Cao Shuo's eyes suddenly burst into light.

If you want to say who is the number one alchemist in the Three Kingdoms period, then Yu Ji must be in the first place.

But Yu Ji has now been killed by Sun Ce, and according to rumors, Yu Ji's Taoist skills are very powerful and his reputation is very high.

After Sun Ce's death, Yu Ji's name has been completely established in the Jiangdong area.

But now it's Yu Ji's apprentice...... Cao Shuo was also very happy in his heart.

"You're going to do it...... Can you do alchemy? ”

Cao Shuo said straight to the point.

"Alchemy?"

Song Yuan smiled slightly, and said to Cao Shuo: "In the matter of alchemy, I can now say that I am the first in the world!" If Childe wants to live forever, then I can only say that Childe is really lucky to find the right person! ”

"Hehe......"

Cao Shuo listened to Song Yuan's arrogant words, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly.

Immortality is the pursuit of emperors of all ages, but no one has ever succeeded.

It can be said that the prosperity of Taoism has a lot to do with the rumors of immortality.

But...... Cao Shuo was not interested in any of this.

At this time, Song Yuan was still bragging seriously: "Although Yu Ji was killed by Sun Ce's bastard, in fact, the soul went to Elysium, and now he lives a happy life, if the lord is interested in this, I can help him......"

"Don't talk nonsense, come here for me now!"

Cao Shuo didn't say a word, and dragged Song Yuan to a small room in the innermost part of his mansion.

Now this place has been completely improved by Cao Shuo and turned into a small laboratory.

Cao Shuo specially sent people to find all kinds of rare stones and metal materials, in order to wait for a person who is strong in alchemy, so that he can distinguish them well.

"It's ......"

However, Song Yuan looked at the dazzling array of materials on the table and was dumbfounded: "What are they?" We are the alchemists......"

"Fuck off, don't let me see you again!"

Cao Shuo directly gave Song Yuan a kick and let the guy roll to the door.

Song Yuan naturally knew how powerful Cao Shuo was, so he ran out with a roll.

Cao Shuo is also very angry in his heart now.

Alchemist, Taoist elite...... Anyway, you have to know a brimstone.

I don't know how to make alchemy?

Obviously, Song Yuan is a legendary god stick.

In the next few days, Cao Shuo also encountered several such liars one after another, but they were all kicked to the door by Cao Shuo.

Two months later, Cao Shuo met with a Taoist priest who was like Orion.

This Taoist priest said that his name was Chen Li, and his face was full of vicissitudes, and his clothes were even more outrageous, and his clothes were like woven bags, but he could still vaguely see that this was a Taoist robe.

As is customary, Cao Shuo brought him to his laboratory.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Chen Li exclaimed, "Could it be that Cao Shuo's son also wants to cultivate to become an immortal?" ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Cao Shuo suddenly became interested.

It is clear that this man knows a little about alchemy.

"These things are all things that I let people find in the mountains, and these sulfur and saltpeter are all things I have prepared." Cao Shuo said lightly.

Chen Li was also very happy at this time: "When these two things come together, they can burn, dare to ask what the son is going to do?" ”

"Talent!"

Hearing this, Cao Shuo's heart was suddenly overjoyed.

This man simply doesn't need to be taught, he is self-taught!

"You can work in my lab, would you?" Cao Shuo patted Chen Li's shoulder and said.

"Absolutely."

Chen Li said it, but there was not the slightest expression of joy on his face.

Thinking of the first meeting, Cao Shuo also suddenly noticed that this Chen Li seemed to have been sullen all along.

It's as if there's something on my mind all along.

"You...... What is the origin?"

Cao Shuo stubbled over the topic and asked Chen Li rhetorically.

"Since I am doing things for my son, I will not hide it."

Chen Li sat in front of Cao Shuo and said lightly: "Actually, I worked with General Zhang Jiao before, and I once learned a little bit of alchemy. ”

"The Yellow Turbans?"

Cao Shuo was immediately shocked, but then laughed again: "If your identity is in someone else's place, it is estimated that you will be discriminated against, but don't worry, there are not so many rules for doing things here with me." ”

"Thank you, Childe!"

The gloomy cloud on Chen Li's face seemed to disappear slightly, and then continued: "It's really my honor to meet a noble person like Gongzi. ”

Cao Shuo also stood up at this time and asked Chen Li, "Are you still refining pills now?" You must know a lot about these materials. ”

"Nope."

Chen Li waved his hand and continued: "Since the Yellow Turban Army incident, everyone's opinion of the Yellow Turban Army is not very good, and I am not interested in the matter of alchemy, but ......"

Chen Li paused, and continued to say to Cao Shuo: "I have been alchemy since I was a child, and then I worked in the Yellow Turban Army, if Gongzi is interested in alchemy, I will definitely do my best to make an immortal elixir for Gongzi!" ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Cao Shuo's eyebrows rose slightly: "Then you say so, you are also a person who knows the art of ascension?" ”

"Yes!"

Chen Li's face suddenly colored: "My master left me a detailed record of the art of immortality, and I am willing to give everything for my son." ”

"Hehe......"

At this time, Cao Shuo finally knew what the limitations of history were.

Just like the current Chen Li, although he far surpasses everyone else in chemistry, he naively thinks that alchemy is for immortality.

Cao Shuo stood up and said righteously: "I, Cao Shuo, just don't believe in the art of ascension, and especially in immortality, I don't believe in it at all. ”

"Huh?"

Chen Li looked at Cao Shuo with a look of surprise, and said in disbelief: "That boy is recruiting alchemy talents in magazines, and what am I here for?" ”

"Hahaha!"

Cao Shuo laughed out loud and patted Chen Li's shoulder: "Since your master knows how to live forever, has he really been to Elysium?" Or is it that after such a long time, someone is really immortal? ”

"This ......"

Chen Li lowered his head and was speechless at Cao Shuo's question.

The purpose of alchemy...... What is it?

To put it bluntly, it's simple money and power.

Whatever you say in order to attain enlightenment and go to Elysium, it's all fart.

If there is really someone in history who succeeds in alchemy, it will definitely be dedicated to the emperor.

But...... Emperors do not live forever.

That is to say, from the side, this alchemy is fake.

In an instant, the perfect alchemy world in Chen Li's heart quietly collapsed.
