Chapter 21: The recipe is wrong

"I'm right!"

Xiao Yi's question with absolute confidence actually didn't mean to ask at all, which made the apprentices who had laughed at him before very annoyed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 While sighing at the thickness of the other party's skin, he also expects his teacher to expose his nonsense on the spot, so that he can ridicule the other party again. It's just that they couldn't wait for their hot-tempered teacher to go berserk.

Regano just stood stunned at this time, shocked! Absolutely shocked! Even if a person who had been famous for a longer time than him found that he was working the top-secret formula that was about to succeed and was revealed, he would probably not perform much better than him.

And if Regano was not confident that he had done a good job of keeping his formula secret, he would almost suspect that the other party was either a top treasure hunter who specialized in stealing secrets or an illusion wizard who could see through people's hearts, just because his formula was not only confidential but also had a wide range of ingredients, and it was the final formula that he obtained after many trials and countless tests.

Not to mention the supreme skill of 'smelling and distinguishing ores', even the ingredients of alchemy can be told meticulously, which is simply too unacceptable.

"You! you ......"

Xiao Yi knew that his performance was too exciting for the old man in front of him, and he couldn't tell him that he was a bug-like all-skill master who had crossed over, if he really wanted that, with the old man's age, his brain would have to be down on the spot.

"I think you're more interested in what your problem is than why I know the recipe?" Xiao Yi changed the topic very successfully, and saw that Regano's eyes lit up immediately when he heard it, and his attitude was like that of an apprentice who was ready to listen to the teacher's teachings.

And the apprentice next to him saw his teacher's appearance, and no one dared to doubt whether Xiao Yi had the qualifications and ability to 'make a big fuss' here.

"Gold essence is very guaranteed for the improvement of hardness, and the composition of clematis can increase the ductility and toughness of the metal, and the animal ashes will be denatured under the action of Safron medicine, which can adsorb impurities and recrystallize and precipitate, which is a great help for purifying and removing bubbles in the metal, I have to say that it is indeed a very outstanding formula from the principle alone!"

Xiao Yi's appreciation is sincere, if he hadn't been honed by the system in the game, he would definitely not have the level of a skill master, although he had been tortured enough by the difficulty of the perversion, but at least there were traces to follow, and all the built-in databases and detailed instructions of the system were very convenient ways. And the old man in front of him relied on his own efforts in reality without any help through a little bit of groping, and after countless discouraged failures to win the title and achievement of the master, this is an even more valuable fact.

But Regano didn't know this, and with his character, I am afraid that even if he knew, he would not find a reason to excuse his failed work, and still stared at Xiao Yi with burning eyes and said:

"But what?"

"But!From the actual effect, this formula may have a fatal flaw, which is why the armor will crack, I think you only suspected that the ratio of the additives was wrong and adjusted the ratio many times, but the results were not satisfactory, right?"

Regano nodded heavily, and Xiao Yi once again expressed greater confidence in Xiao Yi's judgment, and at the same time made him more eager to know what he had done wrong before.

"Clematis is a plant ingredient often used in alchemy, but the treatment of it is generally only mastered by apprentices who have crossed the threshold of proficiency, because no matter what state the clematis is, once heated, it will precipitate a corrosive component, which will destroy the matrix of most magic potions to the greatest extent, so that the magical elements maintained in the equilibrium state are unbalanced and quickly lost, so ......

Hehe, it seems that you have already figured it out, that is, the clematis destroys the active ingredients of the Safron elixir and makes it invalid, and the animal ash solution without the crystallization effect is not purified but even becomes an impurity itself, and the gold essence that lacks the effect of the softening agent will only be harder and more brittle, and it is strange that the things that come out of this way do not crack. ”

After listening to Xiao Yi's words, Regano's face was blood-red, and even a layman like Eric could understand the explanation in simple terms, so he naturally had no objections, but it was really not too good to be on face now.

After a long time, the old man burst out and roared: "Damn alchemist's guild, Lao Tzu humbly asks for advice, you actually cheat Lao Tzu like this, wait! ”

“...... Well, I'm afraid you're wrong about this!" Xiao Yi touched his nose a little narrowly, but he had to tell the truth.

"What are you talking about!" Regano glared at Xiao Yi, his expression almost like a cannibal.

"The side effects of clematis are common knowledge in the alchemist industry, and they only appear when making potions, so it's normal to forget to talk about the blacksmith's consultation. And I guess you didn't tell people all the additives in the formula in order to keep it secret, just just asked about the efficacy of the alchemy materials, I'm afraid that you still ask different people about the three things except the gold essence, how can people expect that there will be accidents, I think it's more important for you to think about how to improve the formula than to be angry with others!"

"yes, as long as you understand what's going on, it's fine, let me think about it...... The problem lies between the clemat vine and the saffron elixir, the potion can't be used, and the clemat can't be removed, it's nerve-wracking!"

Regano entered a state of thought as if no one was around, but he couldn't come up with a solution after muttering over and over for a long time, and the people next to him were very helpless but also sighed, if he didn't have this fascinated energy, how could he become the top master of the whole empire.

Xiao Yi didn't want to interrupt the other party's thinking, but he still had something to do, and he really didn't want to waste too much time, so he coughed lightly.

Hearing this, Regano seemed to have been reminded, and instantly came back to his senses and stepped in front of Xiao Yi and said excitedly: "By the way, since you know what I'm wrong, there will definitely be a solution, right?"

Is there a solution? Of course there is! Xiao Yi could at least casually name seven or eight methods on the spot, but whether it was the alternating extraction and purification of ice and fire or the magic essentia condensation technique, I am afraid that it was not suitable for the old man in front of him who was born as a pure blacksmith. In fact, even if Xiao Yi himself had a lot of skills that required magic because he left the game environment, he couldn't use it, but as a full-skill master-level figure, Xiao Yi could have come up with other methods, but he couldn't do that.

The top-of-the-line hardened steel armor recipe wasn't unusual, but if you wanted to avoid the conditions that required the use of mana, you would have to completely change the additive recipe that Regano had come up with earlier. Pointing out someone else's field of study or making a small revision that adds to the cake can be a welcome help, but it's a blatant insult to completely overturn and reconstruct someone's hard work, even if you're completely right.

And Xiao Yi is asking for it now, so naturally he will not be stupid enough to do such a thing, and even if he doesn't have such a respectable old man, he will never bear to hurt his self-esteem too much. So Xiao Yi also fell into thought, and Regano honestly waited for an answer with an expression of expectation and worry, as if he was very afraid that the formula he had spent countless efforts would be abolished like this, but he didn't dare to urge Xiao Yi, the only hope that could save it.

After a long time, Xiao Yi stopped thinking, and then put his hand into the pocket in front of the clothes and began to rummage, although he had changed the casual hoodie into a set of casual clothes that were more suitable for this era, but without exception, he added a half-moon-shaped pocket on the stomach, it seems that he really intends to cos a certain blue-skinned cute thing to the end.

He took out a crystal bottle containing a green solution, added another crystalline white powder to it, stirred it well, and brought it to Regano.

"This is for you, just soak the ore in a 1:10,000 potion solution before smelting the ore. ”

"One stroke...... What?" The people around were confused.

"Oh, it's just that the concentration of 1 drop of medicine and 10,000 drops of water can achieve the effect, and it doesn't matter much if you have more or less, but if the dose deviates too much, it will affect the final effect. ”

"Little Harry, give me a portion of the ore, Bill, heat up the fire. The old man instructed the apprentice next to him to regain the momentum that the master should have, and then immediately turned to talk to Xiao Yi in a tone of humble inquiry.

"That...... How long are you going to soak it?"

Xiao Yi tilted his head and thought about the timekeeping system he had learned through Zode in the past few days was no different from his original world, and simply gave the answer: a quarter of an hour.

When the apprentice brought a huge wooden basin full of water, Recarno pulled the cork from the bottle but hesitated.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi knew this, so he stepped forward and took the bottle and glanced at Regano to signal that he was about to start, and then tilted the bottle very slowly, and a thin stream of emerald green pierced directly into the basin, spreading into a blue cloud in the water.

Feeling the dosage flowing out of the bottle, Xiao Ling stopped the movement in his hand and handed the potion bottle back to Regano, and the old craftsman hurriedly noticed the height of the drop of the potion in the bottle, so as to estimate the amount poured into the water.

There was an apprentice who soaked the divided amount of ore in water, and then a group of people except Xiao Yi stared at the basin with big eyes and waited. A quarter of an hour was not too long, and when the time was up, he took out the ore and did not wait to drain it, then threw off the towel and rolled a whole large pot of ore into the smelt pool.

The leather drum in the fireman's hand whirred incessantly, and the temperature in the whole room rose a lot in an instant. The barebacked craftsmen are used to sweating like this, Zod and Eric, as top professionals, are also very perverted in their tolerance to temperature by relying on their fighting spirit, and little Pete is still young and has always been pampered, so he can't bear it after such a toss. But out of self-cultivation, he didn't complain, just frowned and secretly endured.

Xiao Yi saw that he secretly moved his body and stuck to Xiao Pete's side, and Xiao Zhengtai immediately felt a chill coming from Xiao Yi's body, so a comfortable smile appeared on his face. Eric beside him was also aware of this change, although he didn't know that this was the magic pattern on Xiao Yi's robe that could automatically adjust the temperature according to the environment, but it did not prevent him from giving Xiao Yi a grateful expression, after all, it was his duty to take care of the young master, and it was really a bit derelict to ignore little Pete when his attention was attracted by the novel experiment just now.

Regano's craftsmanship as a master craftsman was indeed not in vain, and I saw that between the waves of his strong arms, one process after another was carried out rapidly, and the masculinity of both the steadiness and strength of the elder converged into an artist-like picture.

Smelting, purifying, cooling, reheating, and hammering until a complete outline of the armor's chest takes only a little more time than soaking the ore. Let everyone see it heartily, Xiao Yi, who has seen the world's top craftsman level for the first time, admires this very much, although he is far beyond anyone in this world in terms of skills, but if you only talk about the proficiency and dedication that have been tempered by hard work for many years, he is a little inferior after only more than ten years of virtual games. If he didn't use the instant production of the system to cheat, he really didn't have any advantage compared to the old craftsman in terms of speed.

Looking at the nail model with a slight cyan halo, all the craftsmen present were secretly happy in their hearts, the new nail piece not only looked much better than the previous test piece, but most importantly, it did not crack after cooling down like before. Of course, this is only a superficial perception, and whether it is successful or not needs to be more rigorously verified.

The old craftsman stretched his hand to the side without wiping the sweat from his head, while the apprentice tacitly handed over a long hammer that was nearly a man high, and under the reverent and nervous gaze of the craftsmen around him, Regano took two steps back, inhaled and held his chest, and pulled the hammer in his hand into a perfect arc.

"Dangchang" "Click"

There was a roar of a hammer against a breastplate, a wail of a wrist-thick wooden handle breaking.

The broken hammer was tossed aside and left unattended, while the undamaged piece of cuirass was held high over the shoulders of the old blacksmith and treated to the limelight in the sun.
