Chapter 18 The birthday boy hangs himself

Shen Cong quickly purchased the materials needed for the alchemy recipe on the black market. When he came back, there was already a woman beside the alchemist.

His appearance is average, but he is full of vitality, his eyes are shining, and his breathing is steady and strong. He carries a pill furnace on his back, which seems to weigh more than a hundred pounds, but he does not feel any discomfort.

If nothing else happens, this woman should have already reached the eighth level, not yet the eighth level, but not far away.

Seeing Shen Cong return, the alchemist bowed his hand towards him.

"Boss, this is my wife."

Shen Cong nodded, the combination of the other party is quite good, one is responsible for martial arts, and the other is responsible for alchemy.

Men and women are matched, so work is not tiring.

"let's go."

"good."

The alchemist checked the materials, and then the three of them came to an open space not far from the black market.

It's not too far from the city gate, so if anyone has other thoughts, they still have the opportunity to seek help.

The alchemist's wife put down the alchemy furnace, and the alchemist immediately started to light the fire and put in the ingredients.

"The most important thing for an alchemist is to control fire. Flame is the most important factor in promoting alchemy! It is related to the success or failure of alchemy and the quality of the elixir.

Each stage of reducing and increasing fire is very particular."

Shen Cong was surprised to find that the other party could actually control the flames.

"How do you control flames?"

The alchemist smiled and said:

"Alchemists actually use alchemy furnaces to control flames. It is very expensive to build an alchemy furnace. The cheap ones cost hundreds of taels, and the expensive ones even cost tens of thousands of taels. In short, the more expensive the alchemy furnace, the harder it is. Fryer, this is very necessary.

It is said that a high-level alchemist, whose strength is comparable to that of a third-level warrior or above, can release a slight trace of spiritual energy to control the flame without the cooperation of an alchemy furnace.

However, that would require a high-end alchemy furnace, because the elixir they refine has stronger medicinal properties and contains stronger energy. It is very dangerous. If you are not careful, the explosion caused can directly kill a martial arts master! "

"That's it, I've learned a lesson."

Shen Cong continued to watch and understand carefully. He wondered if the alchemist was too weak. In his own eyes, his steps were very simple and there was nothing too difficult.

But what the situation will be depends on your subsequent alchemy refining.

If it is easy to make alchemy by yourself, it means that it is due to your understanding and the alchemist is too weak.

If it is not easy to make an alchemy by yourself, it means that the alchemist still has a problem.

The entire alchemy process lasted for more than half an hour, which would have been more than an hour if converted into time in the previous life.

When the last step of reducing the fire was completed, the alchemist breathed a long sigh of relief and wiped the hot sweat on his forehead with his arm.

"It's done!"

He opened the furnace lid and found a round, red-colored elixir lying quietly in the furnace.

As a gust of cool breeze blew by, the heat of the elixir gradually subsided, and its color gradually turned into dark brown, which looked a bit like sheep dung eggs. There was also a bitter smell of medicine in the air, which was not pleasant.

Shen Cong thought of the spirit liquid with the smell of Jiuzuan Large Intestine, and thought that as long as it was related to medicine, it would be a bit disgusting.

But in order to become stronger, just be disgusting.

He took out the elixir and threw it directly into his mouth. A majestic force burst out in his body, which was quickly suppressed by the Ben Lei Jue and was quickly transported to every meridians in his body.

This refreshing feeling, as if you have practiced for half a day at once, is extremely refreshing.

Based on the comparison with the elixir he had taken before and the spiritual liquid, Shen Cong judged that the purity of this elixir should be around 70%!

"Yes, you are indeed good at refining elixirs."

The alchemist smiled confidently.

"That's not true. I have been refining alchemy for eight years. In the early days, I was also a martial arts practitioner. However, I did not have strong qualifications and did not have many resources. In the end, I had to switch to alchemy."

"I see."

"Now, are you sure that the prescription is real? Can we go?"

Shen Conggang was about to nod in agreement, but his eyelids suddenly jumped. The perception of a seventh-level warrior allowed him to sense something that others could not know in time.

Before he could say anything, the next moment, a gloomy voice came from the darkness.

"Hey, let's go? How can it be that easy?"

"who?"

The expressions of the alchemist and his wife changed instantly. Through the moonlight, five figures appeared in front of everyone. The leader had a terrifying scar on his face, which spread from under his left eye to the root of his right ear. His aura was strong and powerful, and compared to She is much stronger than the alchemist's wife, and has obviously broken through the eighth rank sequence.

"Old friend, it has only been so long before you have forgotten us."

"Laurent, how could it be you?"

"Hey, why can't it be us?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything. I just want you, Master Chen Yuchen, to help me refine the elixir for a while. Should you go with us yourself, or will our brothers kidnap you back?"

The faces of Chen Yu and his wife were extremely ugly, and there was a bit of fear in their eyes. They were obviously afraid of the people in front of them.

Shen Cong was quite puzzled and said:

"Do you know each other?"

Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth and said:

"They are all martial arts cultivators from Saibei. They make a living by extorting and robbing all year round. The leader is called Laurent, who is already an eighth-level warrior. The remaining four are also ninth-level warriors.

Today, I'm afraid we are in doom."

Chen Yu said coldly:

"Laurent, I can go with you, but you have to let my wife go. My wife can't make elixirs, so it's useless if you arrest her. And this boss, he is an innocent person, don't hurt him."

Mrs. Chen immediately grabbed his palm and said:

"Husband, I'm not going anywhere, I'm just going to be with you."

Chen Yu gently stroked her face and smiled guiltily.

"I'm incompetent and can't protect you. It's better to find someone capable to marry."

"I don't! Even if I die, I will only be with you."

Laurent, who was opposite him, suddenly laughed sadly.

"Hey, hey, don't let us get too close to each other here. Mrs. Chen also has to come with us. Without her, you might not be able to help us refine the elixir properly.

As for that kid, he is not an innocent person. He has seen our faces and knows our identities. If you don’t kill him, are you going to let him tell others to rescue you in the future?"

There was a hint of appreciation in Shen Cong's eyes.

Not to mention, as a villain, they are quite qualified. They actually know how to eliminate the root causes without leaving any future troubles. Their IQ is as high as 80.

But it's a pity that they shouldn't get involved with a person they don't understand, let alone interfere with this person because of a trivial matter.
