Chapter Fifty-Third: Muscle-Stimulating and Bone-Building Pill
"boom"
The alchemy furnace was agitated for a while, and then gradually calmed down. The lid of the furnace was slowly opened, and a halo of light rose up, illuminating the light in the small room for a few minutes.
Long Chen looked at one of the elixirs in the elixir furnace that looked like a pearl at night, and couldn't help but feel ecstatic - the high-grade elixir had finally been refined into a high-grade elixir.
The identification standard for low-grade elixirs is the fragrance of the elixir, the middle-grade elixirs are the elixir pattern, and the upper-grade elixirs are the faint elixir halo, which is a sign that the elixir has tightly locked the properties of the medicine into the elixir.
In the entire Fengming Empire, apart from Master Yunqi, there is absolutely no other person who can refine high-grade elixirs.
"The halo is a little light. It should be the imperfections left by the current pill fire, which has not yet been fully controlled, but it is enough."
Looking at this high-grade elixir, Long Chen was filled with pride. This elixir was called the muscle-building and bone-building elixir.
It was the memory of the Alchemy Emperor from Long Chen's soul. Although it was a second-level elixir, in this world, this elixir recipe had become extinct, and Long Chen had the only one in his hands.
He put away the top-grade muscle-building and bone-building pill, and also put away the remaining pills. After refining the pills for a whole night, he felt a little tired.
Now that there was still an hour before dawn, Long Chen began to close his eyes and rest his mind, slowly recovering the consumed soul power.
After absorbing the beast fire, the intensity of the elixir fire became more than ten times stronger, but controlling it would consume too much of the soul.
In particular, Long Chen has not fully adapted to the new elixir fire, so the consumption is greater, so he needs to keep it up for a while.
When the sun shed its first ray of light on the imperial capital, Long Chen slowly opened his eyes.
After breakfast, Long Chen took his elixir and went straight to Huayun Pavilion. Today is the day when Huayun Pavilion's annual auction begins.
However, the auction does not start until noon. An auction like this lasts for three consecutive days, so no one rushes early. Long Chen is the first one.
Huayun Pavilion is located in the north of the city. Although it is slightly remote, it is still in the center of the imperial capital. A magnificent building nearly a hundred feet high is Huayun Pavilion.
As soon as he entered the Huayun Pavilion hall, four girls with beautiful faces and graceful figures greeted Long Chen.
"Hello sir, may I ask..."
Those girls were accustomed to receive him, but when they saw Long Chen's face clearly, they all exclaimed and stared blankly at Long Chen.
Long Chen was stunned and looked at his clothes. There should be nothing wrong with the clothes he just changed out of.
"How decent are you to make such a fuss and scream so early in the morning? How did you train you in the past few days? Why are you so ignorant...ah, Crown Prince Long Chen?"
A middle-aged man with a very decent dress and a clean face scolded the girls as soon as he came out, but when he saw Long Chen, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Fugui, long time no see," Long Chen said with a smile.
That person was none other than the business manager who gave Long Chen the invitation. The reason why Long Chen could still remember his name for so long was because his name was very special.
This name seems to be usually given by wealthy people to their pets, but in any case, he succeeded. The fact that he was able to make others remember his name immediately shows that he is an excellent salesman.
Fugui was not only overjoyed to see Long Chen arrive, but also because all three of his quotas for this year have been used up.
One of them was given to a powerful ranger, and the other was given to a wealthy businessman. However, after a recent investigation, he found that the two of them did not seem to be very attractive to the auction, which means that his oil and water may be
It's so pitiful that it doesn't even have a cent.
But there's nothing he can do about it. After all, those big customers have long been won over by more senior managers. Even if he wants to poach them, he can't.
Later, Fugui focused all his attention on Long Chen, but Long Chen never contacted him since he got the invitation.
Seeing that the auction was about to start today, Fugui's heart felt cold. He originally thought that there was no hope for this year and could only count on next year.
Seeing Long Chen now made his heart, which was already dying, start beating rapidly again.
"Prince Long Chen, you are finally here. I thought you had forgotten about this matter," Fugui said with an excited smile.
"Haha, I'm sorry, I've been too busy recently. I brought something here this time. Call your appraiser. Let's discuss the auction. After all, time is a bit tight now," Long Chen said with a smile.
.
"Okay, Lord Long Chen, please come with me." Hearing that Long Chen had brought something, Fugui couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly led Long Chen upstairs.
The remaining four girls still looked at Long Chen blankly until Long Chen's figure completely disappeared from their sight.
"Oh my God, I actually met a legendary figure"
"That's the number one member of the younger generation in the imperial capital, and it's such a close encounter. I'm so happy."
While several girls were discussing secretly, Long Chen was led into a very luxurious box by Fugui.
As soon as he entered the box, an elegantly dressed woman walked in, bowed to Long Chen, then stretched out her slender hands and began to warm the cup and wash the tea. She turned out to be a tea master.
"Prince Long Chen, please taste the tea first. I'll go find the appraiser right away. I don't know what you need to appraise..." Fugui said cautiously. After all, appraisers have their own expertise, and different things require different skills.
appraiser.
"Elixir" Long Chen said with a slight smile.
Although he had already estimated it in his mind, when Long Chen said it, Fugui's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "Wait a moment, the little one will come as soon as he goes."
"Your Majesty, please have some tea."
The tea master handed over a cup of tea with both hands. Before the tea arrived, the aroma of tea was already hitting his face.
“Good tea”
Long Chen took a sip. The tea was warm and smooth, and fragrant on his teeth and cheeks. It made people feel refreshed and he couldn't help but admire it.
"The tea is good, and the people are better," Long Chen looked at the tea master and said with a smile.
The woman's face turned slightly red, her beautiful eyes moved slightly, and she looked very endearing. However, Long Chen's original appreciation for her suddenly disappeared without a trace because of her expression.
It turned out that the woman's tea skills were very exquisite, especially her control over the water temperature and changing cups, which made Long Chen feel a little admired. After all, people with skills are worthy of respect.
However, the expression on his face that wanted to refuse but still welcome, it was clearly for you to pick and choose, which made people feel disappointed. Long Chen felt disgusted, and even stopped drinking tea, and started to close his eyes to meditate.
The tea master suddenly felt embarrassed. She didn't expect that her tried-and-tested method actually failed.
She didn't know Long Chen, and she was past the age of chasing dreams. She didn't know that the young man in front of her was the number one person famous in Fengming.
Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere did not last long, and Fugui came back, and at the same time, an old man in his sixties appeared in front of him.
As soon as the two people arrived, the tea master hurriedly left. As soon as the old man came in, he brushed his hand across his chest and performed the etiquette of an alchemist.
"I have met Lord Long Chen. Let me introduce myself. I am Qian Fu. I am also an alchemy disciple. Please give me your advice."
Long Chen was speechless. He was indeed a businessman, and his name was so auspicious. He stood up and returned the courtesy of an alchemist:
"Your Excellency, you are very polite. When it comes to alchemy experience, you are a senior."
After the two parties were polite, Long Chen got straight to the point and said: "I need to auction a few pills this time, please take a look first."
After Long Chen finished speaking, he handed a jade bottle to Qian Fu. Qian Fu carefully took the jade bottle, put on a pair of gloves, and at the same time took out a jade plate and poured out the elixir inside.
"this is……"
When Qian Fu saw the elixir, he saw that it was a second-level middle-grade elixir, and he couldn't help but feel happy. But when he was about to see what kind of elixir it was, he couldn't help being dumbfounded. He didn't recognize it.
Although Qian Fu has limited talent and is just an alchemy disciple, he has seen countless elixirs in his life, otherwise he would not be able to be the top appraiser of Huayun Pavilion.
But it was such a second-level elixir that actually stumped him. He looked at it for a long time, smelled it for a while, and took out several small instruments to test it.
After all the work, Qian Fu couldn't help but look a little embarrassed. He didn't know what kind of elixir this was. This was like a slap in the face as an appraiser.
Qian Fu's expression was as expected by Long Chen. This muscle-building and bone-building pill was originally from the Soul of the Pill Emperor, and was a very unpopular pill.
Long Chen gathered 217 kinds of medicinal materials before refining it, although those medicinal materials were not very precious.
But the elixir recipe is so wonderful, it combines different medicinal materials to exert different medicinal properties.
Sometimes three or five types are fused, sometimes more than a dozen. The fused powder has to be fused again through different procedures before it can be made into an elixir. It's simply amazing.
When refining the muscle-building and bone-building elixir, Long Chen felt for the first time the breadth and depth of the alchemy. Different medicinal materials, when fused together, would produce different effects. When combined repeatedly, it was simply a miraculous workmanship.
"Ahem, if I read correctly, this should be a kind of healing pill, and its effect is frighteningly powerful."
After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't pronounce its name. Qian Fu still said its efficacy. He, as an appraiser, was not a slouch, but as for how powerful the efficacy was, he himself was not sure.
Qian Fu couldn't help but blush. Such uncertain food cannot be auctioned. Otherwise, if he doesn't even know it, wouldn't it be an obvious deception if it were auctioned? That would seriously affect the reputation of Huayun Pavilion.
Qian Fu worked as an elixir appraiser in Huayun Pavilion. During more than thirty years, he had checked countless classics. He knew the elixirs below the third level like the back of his hand and knew them by heart. Today he was completely stumbled.
"Your Majesty, I'm so sorry. I can't name this elixir, and I don't know its medicinal properties, so we can't accept this elixir," Qian Fu said with some embarrassment.
As soon as Qian Fu finished speaking, Long Chen hadn't done anything yet, Fugui's face turned green. If Long Chen's things couldn't be auctioned, all his gains would be in vain. He would hang himself by pointing at Long Chen's big tree now.
Already.
"This elixir is called the muscle-building and bone-building elixir. It is a wonderful medicine for treating trauma." Long Chen smiled slightly and said calmly.
"I'm really sorry. Even if you tell me your name, we still can't accept it." Qian Fu apologized again. He couldn't help it. This was related to the reputation of the entire Huayun Pavilion. He didn't dare to take the risk.
You can't just let others say what you say. If something goes wrong, Qian Fu's life and future will be affected.
"It doesn't matter. The main reason is that you are not sure about the properties of the elixir. I can prove it to you," Long Chen said with a smile.
"Proof?" Qian Fu and Fugui looked confused.
"excuse me"
Suddenly, a long knife appeared in Long Chen's hand, and while the two were horrified, he slashed at Fugui.
