It was quiet in the alchemy room.

Zhao Ci had no distractions, and quietly looked at Zhang Xian's alchemy, this was the first time he had seen people at alchemy so closely, and it was impossible to say that he was not curious.

I saw Zhang Xianfeng select a few auxiliary medicines from the medicine cabinet and send them into the Dan furnace, slowly burning away the impurities, leaving only a few streamers suspended in the Dan furnace. These herbs can't be extracted with wine, but fortunately, the dosage is far less than that of Qi Nourishing Grass, so it won't be wasted for long.

Immediately afterward, he used his true qi to draw out the medicinal liquid in the jade bottle.

The liquid medicine was scorched by the flames, and it suddenly sizzled, and quickly steamed clean, leaving only pure medicinal power.

Seeing this, Zhang Xianfeng's face was a look of ecstasy that could not be hidden.

Hurriedly held his breath and condensed, and used all his attention on the medicine.

The flames ignited by the true qi are sometimes large and sometimes small, and the temperature of the alchemy room is also high and low, and every time the temperature changes, the medicine group in the furnace will separate a streamer, and after it is completely divided, it will be triggered by the true qi and melted together.

"Alchemy is really a technical job!"

Zhao Ci couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although he didn't know how to make alchemy, he had made up a lot of theoretical knowledge in the past few days, and this process was to separate different medicinal ingredients, and then reintegrate them in the most perfect proportion and way to achieve the strongest medicinal effect.

The specific principle is very complex, but it can be compared to his experience as a scientific research dog, just like a brain drug, because the fat solubility is not strong, it is difficult to pass through the blood-brain barrier, and this situation can often be solved by adding fat-soluble groups to the drug molecule.

Of course, there are a lot of inappropriate explanations in this one.

Because the pills in this world are completely different systems, but the principle is to let the medicinal ingredients exert their medicinal effects in the most suitable place.

How far it can be achieved depends on the quality of the medicinal materials and the skill of the alchemist.

Long.

The multiple wisps of medicinal qi remerged into one under the guidance of Zhang Xianfeng.

The next moment, the furnace window closed, and the open medicine pot was suddenly completely closed.

And Zhang Xian's true qi also spewed out as if he didn't want money, and the furnace fire suddenly became several times stronger, and the entire alchemy room seemed to be in a sea of fire, burning Zhao Ci's skin painfully.

The Nadan furnace was also burned red.

Finally.

"Boom!"

The top of the stove pops open automatically.

Wisps of refreshing medicinal fragrance overflowed.

"Out of Dan!"

Zhang was overjoyed, and immediately took out a gourd, and the true qi was drawn from the furnace.

"Dada......"

One by one, the pills fell into the gourd.

Zhao Ci also walked up: "How?" ”

Zhang Feng's face was about to smile crookedly: "Congratulations to Your Highness!" Great goodness, this furnace has practiced a total of twenty-seven! ”

"Twenty-seven?"

Zhao Ci was puzzled: "Is it more or less?" ”

Li Fugui was also extremely surprised: "Your Highness! Of course it's a lot! Ordinary alchemists refining Qi Refining Pills, and it is already good to have twelve in one furnace. ”

Oh!

That's quite a lot.

Zhao Ci was relieved.

Zhang Feng's face was full of red light: "Thanks to the miraculous liquid of His Highness, the medicinal properties of the Qi Nourishing Herb have been extracted, otherwise I would not dare to quench the medicine on the spot in the furnace, and there is a risk of frying the furnace if I am not careful." Your Highness's move is really a god'......"

"Stop blowing rainbow farts! Bring me one! ”

Zhao Ci directly snatched the gourd, poured one out of it and threw it into his mouth.

The elixir melted in his mouth, turning into a stream of heat down his throat, and suddenly he felt that his whole body was excited, as if every cell had entered a state of pleasure, drawing out a trace of true qi into the meridians and injecting it into the dantian.

But......

Zhao Ci's face was a little unpleasant: "Zhang Xianfeng, the quality of this Qi Cultivation Pill doesn't seem to be too high!" ”

He had eaten Qi Cultivation Pill before.

The one I just took is obviously a notch off.

The smile on Zhang Feng's face suddenly froze, and he hurriedly arched his hand: "Your Highness!" This Qi Cultivation Pill is indeed only of medium grade, but it is already the limit of the ability of his subordinates, but Your Highness don't worry, we have a large output, and we will definitely be able to get a place in the Gongdan Conference. ”

Zhao Ci sighed lightly: "I don't blame you, it's just that your idea is too idealistic." ”

Zhang Xianfeng choked.

Li Fugui couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, what do you think?" ”

"I'm asking you two questions!"

"Your Highness, please speak."

"First question, do you think the liquid in my bottle was easily obtained?"

"This ......"

The two hesitated, yes! If this medicinal liquid could really be obtained so easily, the price of the Qi Cultivation Pill would have been lowered a long time ago.

Zhao Ci continued to ask: "Zhang is already very strong among our alchemists, but he can only refine a medium-grade Qi Refining Pill, what about the others?" If your goal is just not to be kicked out of the Gondan Conference, what's the difference between that and salted fish? ”

The two looked at each other.

This is indeed a big problem.

It is true that the liquid medicine can increase the quantity, which saves a lot of energy for the later steps, and also improves the quality of Cheng Dan.

But with the average level of their alchemists, it is difficult for most of them to break through the middle grade mark.

If it only increases the output, it can indeed win a large order, but it only has a foothold, and in front of the Feng Zhuyang family, he is still as humble as a minion.

Unless, the benchmark quality can reach the middle grade, and even some of the top grades.

For a moment, the two of them looked ashamed.

Zhao Ci asked, "Is there a way to improve?" ”

Zhang Xianfeng hurriedly said: "If you can win the list of the Zhuge family, you should be able to improve a lot!" ”

Zhao Ci asked again: "Can it be compared to the three families of Feng Zhu and Yang?" ”

Zhang Xianfeng looked bitter: "Your Highness! Aren't you embarrassed for us? How can they be compared to their old alchemy family? You should have seen my alchemy just now, I am quite skilled in controlling fire, and I think I am no worse than the alchemists of the three families.

But the talent is not good, so the temperature of the Dan fire before the Dan can't rise, so it will never be able to compare to those top alchemists. ”

"Can't take down the Zhuge family's Dan furnace?"

"If we win, we should be able to close some gaps."

"Okay!"

Zhao Ci was a little disappointed, he also knew that in the closed furnace condensing pill stage before the Dan, the higher the flame temperature, the more the medicinal properties could be stimulated.

But the temperature of the flame is not determined by effort at all.

Li Fugui was a peacemaker on the side: "But it's already very good, in a few days, I will try my best to take the Dan furnace." I only hope that Your Highness's liquid medicine ......"

Zhao Ci nodded: "Don't worry!" I'll do my best to support you. ”

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

The two of them were stunned.

Just a little bit of support?

Zhao Ci looked worried, as if he couldn't see their expressions at all: "Let's stop here today, I still have something to do when I go home." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left the Danfang.

The two hurriedly followed, asking all kinds of things about the pill, Zhao Ci frowned and immersed himself in his own world, not listening at all.

"Bang!"

When he left the Danfang Gate, a figure collided head-on.

Zhao Ci staggered back a few steps, and the whole person almost sat on the ground.

It's a lot of energy.

"Who! Didn't grow long...... Ay? ”

Zhao Ci was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect it to be an acquaintance.

"Zhao Ci?"

Zhu Li was also a little surprised: "Why are you here?" I haven't seen you in a long time! ”

Her attitude is quite good, at first she was still a little worried, feeling that it might be Zhao Ci's delaying tactics, but in fact, Kan Luotang's favor.

But he never thought that in the afternoon of the same day, the emperor summoned Kan Tianji into the palace to discuss the marriage date, and it was successfully postponed to three years later.

In the next seven days, Zhao Ci disappeared as if he had disappeared, and there was no sign of stalking at all.

Others are weird.

He's a good guy!

"Oh! I'm talking about a business. ”

"Business...... Then I wish you a fortune! You're a good guy and you're going to get rich! ”

Zhu Li sincerely sent a simple blessing, and threw Li Fugui a money bag: "Shopkeeper Li, quickly prepare an alchemy room for me!" ”

Li Fugui had a headache and looked at Zhang Xianfeng: "Zhang Xianfeng, I'm tired!" ”

Seeing Zhang Xianfeng leave with Zhu Li.

Zhao Ci was a little curious: "Why did the people of the Zhu family come here to rent our alchemy room?" ”

Li Fugui scratched his head: "Your Highness doesn't know, although this Zhu Li is the daughter of the head of the Zhu family, she doesn't have a good relationship with the family......

After listening to his story, Zhao Ci suddenly realized.

Although Zhu Li's father is the head of the Zhu family, he only has such a daughter, and his talent for alchemy is still very poor.

The second child of the Zhu family, who is in charge of Linge, has long had the idea of competing for the position of the head of the family, and even has a trend of success in seizing the throne, how can Zhu Li's life in Linge be better?

She seems to want to become a qualified alchemist, but she is naturally difficult to control fire, and she often has the situation of frying the furnace.

Over time, some people in the Zhu family couldn't raise their heads, and they were ridiculed at home.

And the law of Dayu, if you want to buy a Dan furnace, you must have the corresponding qualifications.

Therefore, she can only choose a small Danfang like the Li family.

Almost every month, three or four Dan furnaces will be fried, and the profits of Li's Danfang are all supported by her.

It's also a problem child.

Zhao Ci smiled and jumped directly into the carriage.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

Li Fugui still wanted to ask about the medicinal liquid, but Zhao Ci's carriage had already gone away.

At this time, Zhang Xianfeng had already arranged for Zhu Li to come back from the alchemy room.

Li Fugui said in a deep voice: "You come to take care of Danfang today, I asked my daughter to ask to see Niangniang!" ”
