Chapter Thirty-Eight: Observing Alchemy
The Thunder One-Horned Rhino is worthy of being a third-order spirit beast, and it is in mid-air with a few jumps, the clouds are constantly retreating, and the speed is really fast, and its body seems to form a barrier, blocking all the cold wind outside, like a layer of glass, similar to the feeling of sitting in a car, much more comfortable than the slightest wind gallop.
In less than five minutes, the spirit beast landed in front of a large building, the style of the building was similar to that of an ancient official mansion, and when viewed from above, it occupied one-twentieth of Xiangcheng. The vermilion gate closed, and Naranwen led them through the corner gate.
After passing through countless small doors and cloisters, they came to a large room. At this time, a maid came over and said gently: "Young master, it's time for you to observe alchemy." ”
Nalan Wen replied and brought them to the alchemist, he gently opened them, and suddenly a scorching temperature rushed to his face, and Chu Qianqiu and the two immediately took a step back.
Nalan Wen made a silent gesture and walked in first, Chu Qianqiu did not hesitate, and followed in with his age. The first thing that catches your eye is a huge Dan furnace, which resembles a large Ding and is two people tall, and the crimson skin is carved with many strange and mysterious patterns.
Three steps in front of the Dan Furnace, a capable middle-aged man hung cross-legged in the air, his eyes closed, his fingers quickly changing different formulas, and suddenly a milky white flame erupted from his hand, knocking down the Dan Furnace. With the change of middle-aged mantras, the flame is also sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes large and sometimes small.
"This is my father, Nalankan, who is refining the Five Rank Pill. Nalan Wen whispered, and then observed his father's every move and the change of the flames.
Five-pin pills!
Chu Qianqiu couldn't help but be very surprised when he heard this, he had caused such a big storm when he had a third-grade Thousand Lives Pill, but he didn't expect Nalan Kan to be able to refine a five-grade pill? Chu Qianqiu guessed that he was at least a fourth-grade alchemist.
The elixir is the same as the realm of cultivators, with each grade raised, its refining difficulty will increase by tens of thousands of times, and its price will also increase by tens of thousands of times.
Chu Qianqiu didn't expect Nalan Wen to be so serious when he was observing alchemy, so he didn't bother him, and began to watch and figure it out.
After a while, Chu Qianqiu and his age gradually adapted to the high temperature of the alchemy room, and he also saw some general ideas. Because the elixir requires different temperatures of flame at different times and stages, and sometimes it needs to be heated through the Dan furnace, and sometimes it needs to be baked directly.
This is also the reason why Nalan Kan does not listen to the mantra of transformation, and it is also the reason why the flame changes in size and sometimes drills into the Dan furnace.
In Nalan Kan's introduction later, Chu Qianqiu learned that the higher the grade of the pill, the shorter the time span of the flame transformation, and when refining some higher-grade pills, even each breath needed a different flame.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound suddenly erupted in the Dan furnace, Nalan Kan suddenly trembled, and Nalan Wen immediately looked nervously into the air. Nalan Kan opened his eyes, withdrew the milky white flame, and slowly descended, it seemed that there was no big problem, Nalan Wen let out a sigh of relief.
"Failed. It seems that it will take some time to be promoted to a fifth-grade alchemist. Nalan Kan rubbed his palm, his fingers looked extraordinarily thick, and Chu Qianqiu also confirmed his guess, Nalan Kan was indeed a fourth-grade alchemist.
Suddenly, there was a sound of peeling in the Dan furnace, and many cracks appeared on the Dan furnace, the cracks changed from short to long, from thin to wide, and finally the entire Dan furnace was broken into countless fragments scattered all over the place, piled up high and high.
Chu Qianqiu looked at the Dan Furnace with some distress, he didn't expect that the failure of refining the Dan Pill would cost him such a good Dan Furnace. "Yuexin Wenxuan's literary master, Wen'er, is this your friend, how come I have never seen it. Nalan Wen asked with a little surprise after seeing Chu Qianqiu's costume.
"This Chu Qianqiu brother and the girl of the age only met today, and they came to visit their father. Naranwen seemed to have a lot of respect for his father, and even a little scared.
"Well, treat the two distinguished guests well, I still have to deal with this place, you guys go. Nalan Kan waved his hand and crouched down into the pile of debris to study it carefully.
"The child is gone. Nalan Wen arched his hand at his father's back and retreated with Chu Qianqiu and the others.
Out of the alchemy room, Chu Qianqiu couldn't help but ask, "Brother Nalan, forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, I found that you seem to be a little timid in front of Lord Lingzun. ”
"Don't mention it, my father's family education is very strict, and he says that he must have the style and demeanor of a family, and he also says that alchemists are the most taboo and impatient, and I have to follow the rules in everything he wants. By the way, he also has a pair of troublesome etiquette, hey, I'm living in dire straits. Nalan Wen said and looked up at the sky, his eyes full of melancholy.
Chu Qianqiu thought about it, although he was the only seedling of the Nalan family, everyone else regarded him as the pearl in their palms and did not dare to restrain him. It is precisely because he is the only seedling of the Nalan family that Nalan Kan strictly disciplines him and cannot let the family fall. Otherwise, Naranwen would not have gone to the field.
"Brother, tell me honestly, what did you do. A young girl approached and asked sharply.
A thick black hair floated gently with the girl's steps, her figure was a little thin, her height was not high or low, her face was not very beautiful or ugly, he did not have fingers like tender onions, a slender waist like willow branches, but the whole match gave people a fresh and refined feeling, like a spring breeze, one more point is too much, one less point is too little, everything coexists so appropriately, Chu Qianqiu couldn't believe that there were such delicate people in the world, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
"I ...... Didn't you just watch Daddy's alchemy? Nalan Wen's words woke Chu Qianqiu up, he shook the folding fan lightly, and politely gave a salute: "Xiaosheng has seen the girl." ”
Nalan Wen immediately smiled and said, "Sister, let me introduce you, this is Brother Chu Qianqiu Chu, and this is an age girl, all of whom I know today." ”
Nalan Wenruo glared at Chu Qianqiu, took his age's hand and said with a smile: "Age, yes, you look so cute, go, my sister will take you to play." Before leaving, he said viciously to Nalan Wen, "I will settle accounts with you in the future."
Chu Qianqiu looked at the girl directly just now, which made Nalan Wenruo very disgusted, thinking that Chu Qianqiu was a womanizer like his brother, so he ignored him. And age was also very dissatisfied with Chu Qianqiu's performance just now, so he naturally stood with Nalan Wenruo, a woman is such a complex creature.
"Woman. Chu Qianqiu sighed and smiled at Nalan Wen.
