5. Chapter 5 Alchemy Comprehension
Yang Chen returned to his room and began to sort out his thoughts.
Yang Caidie is indeed not his biological sister, but his physical parents, who picked it up. To put it bluntly, it is not related by blood. As for who Yang Caidie is, it is not known.
In my memory, Yang Chen's parents couldn't even remember their appearance. They only knew that their parents had left the hundreds of tribes in the Great Wilderness when they were very young and went to the prosperous places in Beishan County to explore.
This time he went there for more than ten years and no one knew whether his parents were alive or dead. Instead, he and Yang Caidie left behind his two children alone and their status in the Yang family was very embarrassing.
As the saying goes, a child without a mother is like a grass...
If Yang Caidie had not been for his amazing talent and had shown a sense of responsibility and level that was not inferior to that of the Yang family men at a young age, Yang Chen would have probably been expelled from his household registration in the Yang family.
However, even so, if it were Yang Chen, he would have been expelled from his household registration three months later.
Why do you say so?
Three months later, it will be the Yang family’s ‘adult club’.
This is a clan meeting that every young child of the Yang family has to go through. It is a test for the young members of the Yang family. Only after this clan meeting can it be truly recognized by the Yang family. Half a year ago, the Yang family issued a new system. If the younger generation of the Yang family does not show the strength of the first level of body refining in the "Adult Association", they will be directly stripped of their household registration.
To remove the household registration, simply put, it is exiled and gradually marginalized by the Yang family. No one will care whether you are alive or dead.
Yang Caidie also knew about this, but Yang Caidie completely maintained the idea that the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. With her protecting her younger brother, she would keep Yang Chen even if he was expelled from his household registration.
But Yang Chen didn't want to be so cowardly that he was expelled from his household registration at an adult club.
"The first level of body refining..." Yang Chen murmured: "Let's aim for this first, otherwise you will be expelled from your household registration at an adult club and have no resources to provide, which will be much trouble."
He gradually had his own plan in his mind.
What he was best at in his previous life was to explore a person's talent, use alchemy and various treasures to cultivate a person with martial arts skills into an outstanding genius. For him, although Yang Chen's current embarrassing status in the Yang family and the rumors that he was not talented at all can cause some obstacles, in the final analysis, this is nothing.
However, the most troublesome thing now is the resource issue. His status in the Yang family is too embarrassing and he has no resources at all.
He has only academic knowledge, but he is so short of money and poor.
Fortunately, he had a clear plan in his mind and said, "This is the most outstanding alchemist in the Yang family, the second among the seven clan masters of the Yang family, and he is called the second master. This person is the master of the Yang family's alchemist. Today is the time for his lecture. It is said that if he can get his satisfaction, he will get a lot of rewards."
Yang Chen was very concerned about this "reward". As soon as he thought of this, he immediately set off.
"Young Master, you're going out."
In Yang Chen's house, a sweeping servant smiled flatteringly.
Yang Chen glanced at the middle-aged servant and nodded, but he didn't have much affection for him. The servant was named Zhou Huaiyi, who was responsible for cleaning up debris in the Yang family's courtyard. He was in his thirties and respectful to others. However, since he was betrayed by Hua Wanru, Yang Xian has made more progress in observing people.
Zhou Huaiyi's eyes were full of sleekness and rebellion, and he seemed respectful, but no one in his heart knew what he was thinking.
But Zhou Huaiyi was just a servant this time, so he didn't take it seriously. He nodded slightly, said nothing more, and directly packed up his clothes and rushed to Mr. Yang.
Mr. Yang Er, the most talented alchemist in the Yang family, is said to have reached the middle level of the second-grade alchemist at this age, and is the first alchemist in the Yang family. He is also one of the most famous alchemists in this hundred tribes in the Great Wilderness.
This person enjoys the only alchemy room in the Yang family, which Yang Chen cares the most.
...
"The most important thing about alchemy is the temperature, followed by conditioning. Control and understanding of the two determines the quality and quantity of the final elixir." Yang Erye sat in the upper position in the alchemy room, touched his white beard, and gave a lecture to the Yang family's alchemy children below.
At this moment, a sudden noise appeared, which made Mr. Yang frown secretly. The source of the noise was just a boy from the Yang family suddenly appeared in the classroom.
This young man from the Yang family was Yang Chen who came from outside.
"Yang Chen, didn't you hang yourself? How could you still come to listen to the second master's lecture?" A young man sarcastically said, without hiding his disdain for Yang Chen at all in his words.
Yang Chen is a character that many teenagers of the Yang family are ridiculed and played with. In the final analysis, it is because Yang Chen is too cowardly.
At this moment, someone took the lead, bursts of laughter came to his ears. The next moment, someone even laughed: "Yang Chen, you bet with the Wang family and you have all the open crotch pants in. Three furnaces of alchemy materials, you haven't refined a single pill. If I were you, I would hang myself quickly and come to listen to the second grandfather's lecture. That would be an insult to the second grandfather! If you throw the Yang family's face in, don't throw the second grandfather's people away."
Yang Heng, who was fighting with Yang Chen in the morning, was also in the middle of it. Now that he saw Yang Chen coming, he was even more angry.
He didn't know how Yang Chen had lucky enough to refine four bone-returning pills, but he felt that Yang Chen had some skills in the bone-returning pills. Now when he saw Yang Chen coming, he mocked him: "Yang Chen, the second grandfather is giving a lecture. If we listen to the lecture, we will come on time. If you come in half the way, do you take the second grandfather seriously?"
Mr. Yang had no good feelings for Yang Chen, and he knew more about Yang Chen's loss to the Wang family and losing all his face to the Yang family's alchemist. However, he was an elder of the Yang family after all. Seeing the students in his seat making such noise, he groaned: "What kind of morality do you all play so much? Do you still take me, the second master seriously?"
Hearing Yang Erye's words, the Yang family's children did not dare to act rashly, and they all said, "Second Master, we know we were wrong."
Mr. Yang looked rigorous, but he did not help Yang Chen to help him. He didn't even look at Yang Chen and said directly: "Yang Chen, it's been an hour since I started class. You've been in halfway through now, but do you take me, the second grandpa, seriously? Now, you just stand in the corner and listen to the class."
"Yes, the second grandpa." Yang Chen also knew the rules and had no intention of complaining, and would not say anything in humiliation, so he simply stood in the corner.
Seeing Yang Chen's embarrassing look, Yang Heng sneered and felt much more relieved.
There are also many young men who laughed at Yang Chen. Seeing Yang Chen like this, they winked at Yang Chen and showed their power.
Yang Chen would not be as knowledgeable as these Yang family members, carrying their hands on their backs, with a careful look and meticulous look.
This surprised Mr. Yang a little, because Yang Chen used to listen to his class and even dared to sleep on the spot. Unexpectedly, Yang Chen was energetic today and looked like he was planning to listen to the class carefully.
Mr. Yang was confused, but he did not stop his hand. He said slowly: "I have said all the truths that should be said, okay. Next, I will refine a furnace of one-grade elixirs in front of you. This elixir is called Qinghuo Pill, which is a high-level elixir that is very difficult to refine among the first-grade elixirs. If you can refine this elixir successfully, you will have the level of a first-grade elixir."
"Next, I will start to refine the alchemy. How much you can understand from my technique depends entirely on your luck."
After Yang Erye finished what he said, all the Yang family's children began to hold their breath and carefully observe Yang Erye's alchemy.
Yang Chen was also observing. Of course, he observed it, but he was not planning to learn. Although Yang Erye’s alchemy level exists like a myth in the Yang family, it makes people yearn for it, but in his heart, it is still a poor character. When he observed Yang Erye’s alchemy, he had other ideas in his mind.
What made him curious was that Mr. Yang Er was much better than Yang Heng's half-baked alchemy technique. He could be said to be skillful and had already mastered a lot of control over the truth of alchemy.
"Mr. Yang Er knew to put the materials first and then control the fire. It seemed that he knew some details of alchemy." Yang Chen was thinking.
When Mr. Yang was refining the alchemy, he carefully. After about half an hour, suddenly, the fragrance spread in the alchemy furnace. Then, Mr. Yang slapped the alchemy furnace with a big hand. With a bang, two round and smooth elixirs jumped out of the alchemy furnace and fell into Mr. Yang's hand.
A smile appeared on his old face, obviously he was particularly satisfied with the results of the alchemy. He held two pills and glanced down.
Seeing Yang Erye’s magical alchemy level, the Yang family’s children were full of envy, but when they saw Yang Erye’s eyes, they suddenly became solemn again.
Mr. Yang stood up and stood with his hands behind his back: "Tell me, I just deliberately slowed down the methods, steps and processes of alchemy. In order to achieve the effect you can learn, who can tell me, you have learned a lot about my alchemy process this time!"
When these words were finished, there was a silence.
This made Mr. Yang's expression gradually look ugly.
Only then did Yang Heng raise his hand carefully and stand up.
Mr. Yang was slightly happy: "Yang Heng, what have you understood? Let's listen."
"Second Master, I just observed that your alchemy technique is to throw away the materials first, and then use fire control wood to generate fire. It is different from the method of fire and conditioning materials that I taught us before. I guess that if you refine this Qinghuo Pill, this step is the most critical point." Yang Heng preached confidently.
Mr. Yang narrowed his eyes and sighed: "You only see the fur, but you don't understand the truth, sit down."
What he said was quite tactful.
Because Yang Heng's words were clearly the idea of hitting a dead mouse with a blind cat, how could he understand the little bit of fur?
He originally thought that today he would refine a first-grade high-level elixir here, and the professor would dig out several alchemy geniuses before the "Adult Association" to come out. However, he did not expect that the result would be like this. Yang Heng, the best alchemy genius, answered just like this.
"Who else do you understand what I learned from the refining process just now?" Mr. Yang said with a expression.
"Second Master, I..."
Next, there were a few Yang family members who were lucky enough to answer. After all, being favored by Yang Erye is undoubtedly the blessing of the younger generation of the Yang family. Everyone knows that Yang Erye has no descendants, and his lifelong efforts are all based on alchemy and protecting the Yang family.
Getting his favor is equivalent to getting the true teachings of Mr. Yang.
However, the answers of these young men did not make Mr. Yang happy, but instead made the old man look ugly and even showed signs of being angry.
"Your answers have disappointed me so much. With the idea of taking chances, do you really think I can fool me? Okay, who else is willing to answer?" Mr. Yang sighed. At this point, he no longer had any hope.
It was also at this moment that Yang Chen, who was standing in the corner, raised his hand.
"Second Master, I think I should have understood something." Yang Chen said without any grief or joy.
