Chapter 47: The Fryer
At this moment, in the alchemy room, the temperature slowly and gradually rose.
Although Fang Xu was still some distance away from the alchemy furnace at the moment, he was already sweating, and he couldn't help but tug at the placket of his clothes.
And Qiu Chuji, who was standing in front of the alchemy furnace, had already had a ruddy complexion, and the floor in front of him was already soaked with sweat.
"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and the lid of the alchemy furnace, which weighed a hundred catties, trembled slightly.
After hearing this loud noise, the guards who were still standing outside the door in awe instantly kicked open the already crumbling wooden door, and then the wooden door slowly fell, splashing dust on the ground.
Even at this moment, these guards have already unsheathed their swords, after all, their identity is to protect Fang Xu's safety, if Fang Xu has three longs and two shorts.
Maybe they felt that they were to blame for their deaths, but when they saw the scene in the alchemy room, they were slightly stunned.
At this moment, the original bitter taste of medicinal herbs was everywhere in the room, and at this moment, Fang Xu was sitting on the ground stupidly, his eyes looking at the gossip alchemy furnace in front of him in disbelief.
Accompanying the direction of Fang Xu's gaze, he saw Qiu Chuji, who was also sitting on the ground, but the difference was that Qiu Chuji's face was dark at the moment, and his eyes looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him in disbelief, as if he was a little puzzled.
"Mother...... Master! Are you alright, young master?! Originally, these guards blurted out the word "mother", but they were also forcibly held back.
Fang Xu himself didn't want others to know his identity, and Fang Xu himself didn't like to be called Niangniang, so this was to let these guards who protect his safety call themselves young masters.
"Huh? What are you talking about?! Looking at Fang Xu, who was gossiping as if he was saying something, he frowned a little.
After all, Fang Xu really couldn't hear clearly at this moment, and the only thing he could hear clearly was the clear tinnitus.
This is also something that can't be helped, who let the fryer suddenly happen just now, and Fang Xu and Qiu Chuji are the closest people to the alchemy furnace, and the sound caused by the fryer can be imagined.
However, the tinnitus only lasted for a short time, and then returned to normal.
"I don't have anything to do, let's see if there's anything going on!" Fang Xu pointed to Qiu Chuji, who was sitting on the ground not far away, and said, when these guards helped Fang Xu to come to Qiu Chuji.
After Fang Xu saw Qiu Chuji's face, he couldn't help but laugh, after all, the dark complexion on Qiu Chuji's face at this moment was indeed a little funny.
However, Fang Xu noticed something, stretched out his hand and gently wiped the dark complexion on the face of the Qiu Zhiji, but was surprised to find that it could be wiped down.
And this kind of touch, Fang Xu thought of a chemical element: lead!
In Fang Xu's memory, why did he fall lonely later in alchemy?! Naturally, it is because the medicine has three points of poison, and the alchemy technique is to add a poison again, that is, lead.
It's just that Fang Xu doesn't know that this fryer can still blow up the lead components in the medicinal materials?!
"Shouldn't it?! How can you blow up the oven?! Before Fang Xu could react, he only heard Qiu Chuji, who was sitting on the ground, constantly muttering.
After all, in Qiu Chuji's opinion, he really doesn't understand it now, and his procedures and steps are not wrong, and even the power of fire control is just right.
But why is it a fryer?! Even it seems that the elixir has failed to be refined at this moment, and Qiu Chuji seems to have accepted this result.
"I'm sorry for making Brother Fang laugh." Qiu Chuji lowered his head a little aggrieved and said, after hearing Qiu Chuji's crying, Fang Xu couldn't help laughing.
But who would have thought that after hearing Fang Xu's laughter, Qiu Chuji, who was still able to hold back his tears, really couldn't help it now, staring at Fang Xu with tears in his eyes.
"Isn't it a fryer, are you happy?! It turns out that Brother Fang never believed me! At this moment, Qiu Chuji's heart completely exploded, and he was not even called a poor road.
And after hearing Qiu Chuji's words, Fang Xu could be regarded as reacting, and looked at Qiu Chuji with red eyes in front of him with some embarrassment.
"Ahem, you misunderstood! That's what I'd like to see! Fang Xu scratched the back of his head and said, but as soon as the words fell, Fang Xu found that Qiu Chuji was even more staring at him, and even gritted his teeth.
"Nope! No! No! Of course, I also knew that this was an accident, but this accident was also within the scope of my expectations! Fang Xu naturally sensed the mistake in his words just now, and hurriedly explained.
"Humph! You don't know the art of alchemy?! And how could you expect failure?! Qiu Chuji snorted disappreciatively, in Qiu Chuji's opinion, Fang Xu was just going to laugh at himself at this moment.
This made Fang Xu cry and laugh a little, could it be that people in this era are so arrogant?!
"Although I don't know what kind of elixir you plan to refine, you added the wrong herbs, which caused the fryer to happen." Fang Xu said with a smile.
"Huh? Adding the wrong herbs? Nope?! The medicinal materials here are also recorded in alchemy?! After pondering for a moment, Qiu Chuji looked at Fang Xu seriously and said.
Although Fang Xu didn't know what pill Qiu Chuji was planning to refine, and he couldn't even recognize all the medicinal materials in front of him, even so, Fang Xu was sure that Qiu Chuji had made a mistake.
Why are you so sure?! It was because Fang Xu discovered a familiar medicinal material, and this was naturally the root of Sun Simiao's discovery of gunpowder in later generations: sulfur!
After all, even if he doesn't know the appearance of sulfur, Fang Xu will never forget the taste of sulfur in his life, which is simply better than durian.
Seeing Fang Xu pointing at the sulfur, Qiu Chuji frowned slightly, obviously thinking about something.
"If you don't believe me, you can give it a try, and try it without sulfur this time?!" Fang Xu naturally knew that Qiu Chuji was a little hesitant at this moment, and even a little unsure of himself.
But after hearing Fang Xu's words, Qiu Chuji was still a little hesitant, not that Qiu Chuji didn't dare to try, but that Qiu Chuji was afraid of failure, after all, in Qiu Chuji's opinion, these herbs were also limited.
If you are wasting it, you will not have it in the future, and Qiu Chuji has no money now, which is where Qiu Chuji is embarrassed.
"If you're short of money! I'm in charge of all of this! Fang Xu patted Qiu Chuji's chest and said, while Qiu Chuji looked at Fang Xu in disbelief, even the guards beside Fang Xu.
