Chapter 04: Alchemy in Public
Fang was almost guilty of usurping power and seeking office by Qin Chuan's laughter, and He Hong's arrogance at this time was also slightly restrained, and he bowed to Elder Ming.
"Report to the elder, the disciple was ordered to take charge of the Dan room, and he has always counted the number of pills in the library, and he checked them every day, so he didn't dare to be lazy. But the day before yesterday, it was suddenly discovered that there were forty or fifty pills missing from the Jingqi Pill, and the disciples searched hard for several days, and finally found something strange. ”
He Hong didn't forget to boast a few words at this time, and then looked at Qin Chuan and the others, and finally showed ruthlessness, "Ye Qiuqi didn't buy the pill from me before, and then someone saw Qin Chuan send the pill to him, if he hadn't stolen the pill in the warehouse, where did Qin Chuan come from?"
As he spoke, he smiled in his heart.
The pills in this Jiyun Temple were all managed by him, and before he acted, he had erased dozens of Jingqi pills from the books and fell into his private pocket, and there was no trace of others at all.
He deliberately did not say that he stole the elixir refined with his personal private funds, but stole the public treasury of Jiyunguan, firstly, he could use this to enrich his own pockets, and secondly, Qin Chuan was even more guilty.
Besides, he still has a backup move, even if Qin Chuan really knows how to refine the Calm Qi Pill, when the time comes, he will make this Qin Chuan, who does not know the current affairs, lose his reputation.
Otherwise, how could he dare to invite Elder Ming, who had always been upright, to make a judgment.
"Senior Brother He, how do you know that I can't refine the Calm Qi Pill?"
Qin Chuan smiled, but asked He Hong rhetorically, "Although it is a little more difficult, in the thousands of years since we Jiyunguan, didn't we have predecessors who learned the method of alchemy before going up the mountain?"
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was shocked.
The disciples around the square looked surprised one by one, and exchanged their heads with each other. Qin Chuan's words, could it be that he really refined the Tranquility Qi Pill?
They naturally know the history of Jiyunguan, could it be that Qin Chuan is also a genius who has not been seen in a hundred years?
"Qin Chuan, could it be that you can refine this Tranquility Pill?"
Elder Ming asked suddenly, his eyes narrowing slightly, staring at Qin Chuan tightly. There was some incredulity in his expression, and there was a faint hint of joy.
"Elder Ming, Qin Chuan has never been anywhere else since he entered the Guanguan, how to learn the art of alchemy, I think he just wants to quibble, don't listen to his nonsense!"
He Hong suddenly jumped up and said angrily.
If Qin Chuan really knew how to do alchemy, he still didn't believe it. He burned the fire for the inner disciples who practiced alchemy on Luoyan Peak for more than ten years, and only with his own exploration did he find some way, how old is Qin Chuan, how can he refine it?
"I've got my own measure!"
Elder Ming scolded He Hong, causing He Hong to be silent. Immediately, he asked Qin Chuan, "Qin Chuan, you haven't been out for more than ten years, how did you learn the refining method of the Calm Qi Pill?"
"Elder, when Senior Sister Zihan left, she sought the Dan prescription of the Tranquility Pill for me, and the disciple studied it several times, so I got a little bit clear. ”
Qin Chuan replied respectfully.
He had already prepared such a statement, and he expected that the alchemy matter would be confessed to the public sooner or later, so he had already thought of an excuse. Anyway, no one will ask about this Shangluo Yanfeng, and Luoyanfeng will not pay attention to them because of this trivial matter.
"Danfang?"
Suddenly, a bit of greed flashed in He Hong's eyes.
Pills are already very valuable for ordinary medicines, and pills are even more valuable than pills. He punished Qin Chuan this time, but he wanted to expel Qin Chuan, so as not to affect his monopoly of Jingqi Pill and cut off his financial route. But now it seems that there are still some unexpected gains.
"What can you prove if you have Dan Fang?"
He Hong asked, a hint of cunning in his eyes.
Qin Chuan met He Hong's gaze, he was already a little impatient, He Hong bit him tightly, making him feel a slight anger in his heart.
"Then what does Senior Brother He want?"
"You only need to refine a Tranquility Pill in public!"
He Hong looked at Qin Chuan extremely arrogantly, as if he was afraid that everyone would not hear clearly, and shouted out extremely loudly in this square.
In this way, if Qin Chuan didn't agree, he admitted that he didn't know how to do alchemy.
Hearing this, Ye Qiuqi suddenly pulled Qin Chuan's arm, leaned into Qin Chuan's ear and whispered:
"Brother Qin, don't agree, I'm afraid there will be fraud. ”
Since He Hong is so persecuted, he will definitely make a move in the pill or the medicinal materials, so that even if the furnace is opened for alchemy, there will definitely be nothing to refine. He looked at Qin Chuan with a solemn face, hoping that Qin Chuan would not be hot-headed for a while.
However, if you don't agree, isn't it also the way of He Hong?
"What's so hard about that?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Chuan agreed with a mouthful of words.
Although he was not talented in his previous life, he had also stayed on Luoyan Peak for a few years, and even cultivated to the peak of the foundation building period, and he was still familiar with the refining of the most basic Jingqi Pill. As long as the materials are complete, even if he moves a little bit of hands and feet, it will be difficult for him to refine a few pills.
"Qin Chuan, have you thought about it clearly?"
Elder Ming asked, he also wanted to know the answer to whether Qin Chuan could refine the Calm Qi Pill. But he also secretly understood He Hong's character, and he was afraid that this Qin Chuan would fall into He Hong's way.
He is an upright person and doesn't want to wronged Qin Chuan.
"I just hope that the elders will be able to handle this matter fairly. ”
Qin Chuan replied, full of confidence in his words. Elder Ming made a judgment, even if He Hong secretly acted against him, he would not dare to be too obvious, and he would definitely only start on some small issues.
What is he afraid of?
What's more, escaping from the battlefield has never been his style!
Hearing this, Elder Ming nodded, and he also understood the meaning of Qin Chuan's words.
"Don't worry, I will judge, and I will not let He Hong make a mistake. ”
That He Hong was glared at by Elder Ming, and immediately laughed a few times, but he raised his eyebrows again, and pressed straight at Qin Chuan, and his momentum became more and more violent.
"Elder Ming is discerning, how dare I cheat secretly. But the ugly words are ahead, Qin Chuan, if you can't refine it, you will admit the crime of stealing the pill!"
As he spoke, the greed on his face was even worse, "Moreover, you have to hand over the Dan Fang as well!"
"What if it's refined?"
Qin Chuan smiled, he was still thinking about why He Hong was pressing, it turned out that it was for Danfang, and he was really a market clown.
"If you can refine it, in addition to proving your innocence, I will resign myself as the steward of the Danfang. "That Dan Fang's temptation is so great that He Hong gives such a bargaining chip.
It seemed that he was already at ease.
"Then we'll see. ”
Qin Chuan smiled slightly, closed his eyes and breathed, and stopped speaking.
The place of alchemy was set on this square, so none of the onlookers dispersed, but more and more people gathered here, looking forward to witnessing the birth of a genius. In the crowd, many of them looked at Qin Chuan, and their eyes were already full of admiration.
After about a cup of tea, the people under He Hong's hands had already prepared a thing.
Elder Na Ming went up to inspect it, and after confirming that it was correct, everyone's eyes focused on Qin Chuan. The alchemy of the famous disciple of Fuxi, who has not been seen in a hundred years, is about to start.
Qin Chuan opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hung on the smile that he had been standing since his rebirth.
Facing a qiē indifferently is the essence of Taoist practice.
"Qin Chuan, I support you!"
In the crowd, someone shouted in surprise. Immediately, He Hong swept away coldly, but he didn't find who the voice was, and his face was a little embarrassed.
"Senior Brother He, you seem to be unpopular. ”
Qin Chuan sneered at He Hong, which caused the crowd to laugh, making He Hong's face even redder.
"Don't be complacent, if you can't refine it, you look good!"
"Humph!"
Qin Chuan sneered, glanced at He Hong meaninglessly, and didn't bother to care what he said, Gu Zi walked to the center of the square, set up the Dan furnace, and checked the things He Hong had prepared again.
Although Elder Ming is quite old, unless he is proficient in this alchemy, it is difficult for others to see what is wrong, even if it is Qin Chuan himself, he does not dare to say that he can eliminate all the differences. He checked it carefully, and really didn't find any place to move his hands and feet, so he sat down on the ground and began alchemy.
The onlookers were all staring intently at the center of the square, all the alchemy was basically carried out in that sparsely populated place or in the exclusive Dan room, ordinary people rarely got a glimpse of it, this time the public alchemy greatly satisfied their curiosity.
Ye Qiuqi looked at Qin Chuan quietly, although the Calm Qi Pill he took some time ago was from Qin Chuan's hand, he really hadn't seen Qin Chuan's alchemy with his own eyes.
Therefore, a huge square is surprisingly quiet.
After a long time, I finally saw Qin Chuan make a move, but he put the Ning Shenhua into the Dan furnace, and the flames burned more vigorously, and the entire Jiyun Temple seemed to have only the sound of the flames moving.
After Qin Chuan finished this action, he sat cross-legged on the side of the Dan furnace again.
This is different from his previous two times, he didn't pay attention to the fortune of alchemy, but he just refined it to prove himself, and whether the medicinal effect was good or bad was not so important. Moreover, this Dan furnace is different from the Danding he purchased, it is a special alchemy container, and it also makes up for some cumbersome exquisiteness.
The top of the Nadan furnace can be freely sealed, but the Jingqi Dan must be fired with a strong fire, but it cannot be closed, otherwise it is very easy to fry the furnace.
The common sense of alchemy that his senior sister had personally told him about appeared in front of Qin Chuan's eyes one by one.
Suddenly, he saw Qin Chuan's eyebrows frowning.
"Not true. ”
He said secretly in his heart.
It stands to reason that when the Jingqi Pill is refined at this moment, he can already smell the faint fragrance of the Dan, but Qin Chuan doesn't feel anything at the moment. While thinking about it, he immediately condensed his mind into the Dan furnace and took a look.
Under the snooping of his mind, Qin Chuan already knew the situation in the Dan furnace.
"I said how He Hong was so confident, it turned out that he had done something to this medicinal material. ”
The medicinal properties of the Ningshen flower are mostly concentrated in the flower stems, and at this time, these Ningshen flowers that have entered the furnace have already been evacuated in advance, and the silver needles are used to penetrate them, and most of the medicinal properties have already been volatilized when they are dried.
At this moment, in the Dan furnace, the only remaining medicinal properties dissipated out through the guò mouth and melted into the air, even if it was a Daluo Immortal, it was impossible to refine a single Tranquility Pill.
"What a trick I say. ”
Qin Chuan shook his head secretly, a touch of contempt crossed the corner of his mouth.
