However, this smell was so strong that it spread quickly with the wind, and even if it spread to the front, it did not weaken at all.
"What does it smell like?" Han Jingyun, who was enjoying fragrant tea in his study, frowned and put down the teacup in his hand. The tribute tea that Zhu Biao had so kindly given her was no longer fragrant at this time.
When he opened the door, Han Jingyun felt a stronger smell. His face suddenly turned pale, he couldn't help but vomited, and quickly covered his mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief.
"What on earth is going on? Someone, come and see where this smell comes from?"
Not only Han Jingyun discovered it, but everyone in the academy was made extremely uncomfortable by the strong smell. Everyone was very angry and followed the source of the smell to the back of the academy.
They saw Zhu Tan and the others were burning the cauldron in full swing, and a strong smell was constantly coming out of the cauldron.
"Zhu Tan, what are you doing?" The veins on Zhu Zi's face popped up, wondering when did he, a majestic prince, receive such a strong influence?
Zhu Tan heard the sound and raised his eyes to see that all the classmates from the academy were here, and they all covered their mouths and noses uniformly. I tried to smell it, but I felt that the smell was not as strong as before, so I simply put my hand down.
"Myna is here? What are you doing? Although the smell is a bit strong, is it so exaggerated?"
Seeing Zhu Tan's unrepentant look, Zhu Zi said angrily, "You have been in abalone restaurants for a long time, and you haven't smelled the smell for a long time. Ask your classmates, isn't the smell you created exaggerated enough?"
Seeing everyone looking at him with disgust, Zhu Tan suddenly became speechless.
"What on earth are you doing?" Everyone moved away consciously, and Han Jingyun walked out from behind the crowd.
When Zhu Tan saw Han Jingyun coming, he had no choice but to explain with an embarrassed face, "...I just wanted to extract the gold from here, but I didn't expect that I alerted the gentleman."
Han Jingyun frowned, "So you filled the entire academy with this unpleasant smell just to extract the gold you want?"
"Yes." Zhu Tan nodded.
Han Jingyun frowned even more tightly. She knew that her eldest brother had been emphasizing the importance of hands-on experiments to the students when teaching, and also encouraged them to do various experiments themselves.
Strictly speaking, although Zhu Tan's idea was a bit absurd, his behavior was completely in line with Han Du's requirements.
But the smell was really unbearable for Han Jingyun.
"Mathematics classes are temporarily suspended. I will come back when this damn smell has dissipated." Han Jingyun covered his mouth and nose and left, not wanting to stay here any longer.
Han Jingyun can leave, but the students cannot. Before it was time for Xiu Mu, they could only stay in the academy. Fortunately, we are all men, and our tolerance for this smell is much higher than that of women.
But even so, everyone still looked at Zhu Tan with murderous looks.
The peculiar smell not only filled the academy, but also spread to the street outside the academy. The people at the gate of the academy all cast strange glances into the academy. They wanted to know what was going on inside the academy, but there were guards guarding the door, and they couldn't get in. They could only frown and look inside the academy.
As the water evaporated, Zhu Tan found that the liquid in the pot first turned red, then white, and finally evaporated completely, leaving nothing in the pot, not to mention the shadow of gold.
Zhu Tan worked hard for a long time, enduring the unpleasant smell from beginning to end, and ended up enduring loneliness.
An ordinary person might give up on this, because gold cannot be extracted from urine. But Zhu Tan thought of the change in urine color during steaming. Although there is no gold in it, there must be something there, otherwise this situation would not be possible.
At the same time, he also thought that he had not refined anything, and it might be because he urinated too little.
Wanting to rely on the barrel he left to collect urine, Zhu Tan felt it was too slow and had to find a place with a lot of urine.
Zhu Tan then came to the palace again. Yes, Zhu Tan thought that there were many such things in the palace.
There were tens of thousands of people living in the palace, and countless gifts were transported out of the palace every day. Isn’t it easy to find this thing?
"What? What do you want?"
When Zhu Tan found his father, Lao Zhu was having dinner with Queen Ma. Originally, Zhu Tan was asked to eat together, but Zhu Tan said that he had already eaten and came here to ask his father to help collect something.
Seeing Zhu Tan nodding seriously, not joking at all, Lao Zhu suddenly became depressed.
"My appetite has just gotten better these days. Are you here to disgust me on purpose?"
Zhu Tan was immediately startled and said quickly: "My son, I really don't know. Why don't you wait for your father to finish eating?"
Lao Zhu put down the chopsticks in his hand and sighed, "Forget it, you've lost all your appetite. Although you know your mistakes and can correct them now, and don't take the pills anymore, how could it be like this?"
He waved his hand and asked the old eunuch to go down and give instructions.
After Zhu Tan left with the old eunuch, Lao Zhu slammed the table angrily.
"How did Han Du teach me? How did my good prince become like this now?"
The more Lao Zhu thought about it, the angrier he became. In the end, he couldn't get any more angry and simply ordered: "Come here, summon Han Du to the palace. I want to ask him carefully, how did Tan'er become like this?"
As soon as Han Du came to Lao Zhu and saw the ceremony, he was scolded by Lao Zhu, "What have you taught Zhu Tan?"
"What didn't I teach? When I taught, everyone taught together, and I didn't teach King Lu anything in particular." Han Du was scolded by Lao Zhu for no reason, and Han Du naturally felt wronged.
"Then why, why did he want to find..." Lao Zhu hesitated for a moment, but still did not say anything.
He suddenly waved his hand to the old eunuch next to him and said, "Tell him."
The old eunuch immediately walked down expressionlessly. In Han Du's confused eyes, Fu Er told Han Du the whole story.
"I definitely never taught King Lu that gold can be extracted from that thing, and there is indeed no gold in it." Han Du didn't know what was going on. The physics and chemistry he taught were all things he had learned before. How could he know that? Teach the fallacy that gold can be extracted from urine?
Zhu Tan's behavior is more like those alchemists in the West. They try everything on anything and try to make gold out of it.
Moreover, those people are eager to refine gold because they are a group of poor people who have never been rich enough to want to get rich from gold.
But you, Zhu Tan, are the majestic King Lu of Ming Dynasty, and your family has a lot of gold. Do you need to refine gold?
