Chapter 24 Alchemy is art, and art is...

 In this letter of complaint, Bai Yuan wrote in detail about the experience of this month.

For example, the food was not good, the accommodation was not good, and he went through a lot of hardships and dangers before arriving at Daliang, the capital of Wei State. On the way, he was inexplicably assassinated by a trap killer. Mr. Nameless was seriously injured. If he hadn't been lucky enough to meet him

Bai Yuan exaggerated some of the things such as the succession of doctors, and the loss of others.

After checking it twice, Bai Yuan believed that Chisongzi would be furious after seeing this letter and would find a way to avenge himself, so he rolled it up and sealed it with satisfaction.

After doing all this, he checked the medicinal materials that shopkeeper Lin brought.

Although he just asked Shopkeeper Lin to get some old medicinal materials, he found that what Shopkeeper Lin brought were some relatively precious medicinal materials, and even a thousand-year-old ginseng.

Shopkeeper Lin really knows how to do things!

Putting down the medicinal materials, Bai Yuan walked to the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a beautiful maid waiting there, waiting for orders.

"Go and help me call Shopkeeper Lin over."

"Sir, please wait a moment!"

After the maid finished speaking, she bowed slightly and immediately ran to find Shopkeeper Lin.

Bai Yuan waited for a short while and saw Shopkeeper Lin trotting over.

"Master, what are your orders?"

"Send this secret letter to someone trustworthy and send it back to Tianzong as soon as possible."

Bai Yuan handed the complaint letter he just wrote to Shopkeeper Lin.

Shopkeeper Lin carefully took the sealed letter and nodded solemnly.

"Please rest assured, Master, I will arrange for someone to send the letter back immediately!"

After Shopkeeper Lin put away the letter, Bai Yuan pointed to the medicinal materials on the table and asked, "Where is the alchemy room? I plan to use those medicinal materials to make a furnace of elixirs."

As a Taoist stronghold, Xuanxin Pavilion also sells some elixirs and the like, so it must have a special alchemy room.

Shopkeeper Lin was delighted when he heard that Bai Yuan wanted to make elixirs. He had been guessing what Bai Yuan would do with these medicinal materials before, so he specially took some more precious and more effective medicinal materials.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yuan would refine the elixirs at that time, and they would definitely have better properties. Maybe he would be able to get one or two of them if he was happy.

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Lin was overjoyed and smiled as he led Bai Yuan the way.

"Please come with me! The alchemy room is in the backyard. It's cleaner and has better feng shui."

Bai Yuan nodded and followed him to the alchemy room. The maid on one side helped him carry the medicinal materials and followed behind the two of them.

The backyard is not far away, and a few people quickly arrived at the alchemy room. The alchemy room was not big, and there was only a copper alchemy furnace, a futon and a small table in it.

There are many small jade bottles on the table.

The maid put down the medicinal ingredients and stepped aside.

Bai Yuan took a look at the environment here, nodded, and then said to shopkeeper Lin: "Okay, you can leave, and don't let anyone disturb me next time."

"Yes, yes, master, let's go first!"

Shopkeeper Lin nodded, knowing not to disturb Bai Yuan's alchemy, so he winked at the maid on the side, and then left the alchemy room with her.

After leaving, he immediately gave an order not to allow anyone to approach the backyard to avoid disturbing Bai Yuan.

In the alchemy room, Bai Yuan started his first alchemy journey according to what he learned in Taoism.

After lighting the fire, Bai Yuan sat on the futon, using Wanchuan Qiushui with his left hand to control the size of the fire, and selecting medicinal materials with his right hand.

Taking an inconspicuous herb at random, he controlled the alchemy furnace to open a trap, put the herb into it, and used flames to purify its essence.

Although it was his first time to make alchemy, he controlled the fire very well. The temperature in the alchemy furnace was neither too high nor too low, and the herbs were not directly burned to ashes by the flames after entering.

He carefully controlled the flames and stared at the herbs tumbling in the flames, watching as they were gradually burned by the flames, leaving behind a translucent liquid about the size of a thumb.

At this time, the refining is complete, and this liquid is the herbal essence that has just been extracted.

Take out the liquid and put it in a small jade bottle for later use.

Then Bai Yuan repeated the steps just now, put an herb into the alchemy furnace again, and continued refining.

During this process, Bai Yuan has been staring at the alchemy furnace with all his concentration, carefully controlling the temperature of the flame. If he is not careful, everything he has done before will be in vain.

After refining three herbs in a row, Bai Yuan no longer went to get the herbs, but was ready to start the next step, fusing the extracted essences together through the elixir fire to form a real elixir.

Just refining the three herbs took Bai Yuan more than an hour, and also consumed a lot of internal energy.

The next step of blending herbal essences is also a laborious task.

......

As the day went by, Wuming and Lu practiced for an entire afternoon, but they felt hungry again, so they ran to find Bai Yuan.

Only then did they realize that Bai Yuan was not in the room.

After asking, they found out that Bai Yuan went to make alchemy not long after lunch, and he specifically told no one to disturb him.

At this time, a loud noise suddenly came from the backyard, attracting the attention of Wuming and others.

"This direction seems to be the alchemy room. Something happened at Bai Yuan?"

Without enough time to think about it, Wuming immediately went to check the situation.

When he got there, he saw shopkeeper Lin directing people to put out the fire.

"Master Wuming, even you were alarmed."

Shopkeeper Lin saw Wuming and said hello to him.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know. I just heard a loud noise from the backyard, and then someone saw a fire here. I just came here."

Shopkeeper Lin wiped the sweat from his head, hoping that nothing big would happen.

"Where are the Baiyuan people?"

Wuming asked worriedly.

"I'm here!"

At this time, Bai Yuan appeared out of nowhere. At this moment, he looked a little disgraced.

Shopkeeper Lin saw Bai Yuan's appearance and hurried forward: "Master Bai Yuan, are you okay? Do you want me to call the doctor to take a look at you?"

Bai Yuan waved his hand, indicating no need.

"Weren't you refining elixir just now? How did you end up like this?"

Wuming felt very puzzled and a little curious about what happened.

If nothing unexpected happens, the movement just now must have been caused by Bai Yuan.

Isn’t it just alchemy? How come it’s like demolishing a house?

Bai Yuan coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.

He was indeed refining elixirs just now, and he had successfully refined a batch of elixirs.

The system has effectively activated the alchemy skill, which is something to be happy about.

He was in a joyful mood and started refining the second batch of elixir without much rest.

When the second batch of elixir was refined to the last step, Bai Yuan's internal strength was not enough, and there was an error in the control of the flame.

Then, the furnace exploded.

Not to mention that a furnace of elixirs was destroyed, the elixir fire flew everywhere, causing the alchemy room to burn down.

In other words, he had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he took the remaining medicinal materials and the refined elixir and ran out.
Chapter completed!
