The little fox is now much more diligent than before. After opening the doors and windows to disperse the smell of medicine, he hurriedly moved stools and made tea for several people.
But just as the water was boiling, the skinny pole also trotted over. After bowing to Mr. Fei, he respectfully presented the cloth bag in his arms and said:
"Fei Lao, I know that you like to drink tea. This is a small gesture from the disciples of Jiangyundong. Please reward me."
"Haha, I'm interested. Yingwu, go and tell them. I plan to take one more class tomorrow. Those who want to get credits can come and listen."
"Thank you...Thank you Mr. Fei~"
Yingwu clasped his fists excitedly, and then disappeared without a trace.
After a few people were seated, Feng Ziyu briefly explained what happened today, and he couldn't help but let Qingyun lead the two girls and respectfully handed them a cup of hot tea.
"Haha~ If I had known you were here, girl from the Long family, I would have sent Qingyun away a long time ago!"
Mr. Fei took a sip of tea with a smile, then changed the subject and said:
"By the way, I'm writing a poem. How are you doing with the Furnace Qi Pill?"
"The juniors before Mr. Fei are just doing their jobs and are not worth mentioning."
When talking about alchemy, Long Fushi showed a hint of embarrassment on his face and said sheepishly.
"Do you mind showing it to me, old man?"
"Of course I am willing, but the quality of this Qi-receiving elixir is not good, so I'm afraid it will stain Mr. Fei's discernment."
"Haha, I remember back then, you rejected my master with character. Why are you so shy now?"
Fei Lao joked.
"This this…"
The old man said a few words about Long Fu's poem, which made him quite embarrassed. The young master still couldn't bear the Master's embarrassment, so he volunteered to take out the Qi-receiving pill from the Miaoyin Furnace.
It doesn't matter if you don't see it, but when you see it, you will be stunned on the spot.
"What's wrong, little genius?"
Feng Ziyu asked and jumped over.
"This...this black thing is the Qi-Nai Dan?"
As soon as these words came out, Long Fushi's soft and beautiful face seemed to be as bright as the ripe winter dates.
As soon as he finished speaking, Fei Lao waved his withered palm lightly, and the elixirs in the Miaoyin Furnace, together with the dregs at the bottom of the furnace, all fell steadily onto the round table.
“Not bad~”
The old man smiled broadly and kept combing his long eyebrows.
But in fact, everyone, including Long Fushi, had the same question in their minds. Is this pile of black mud pills smaller than a fingernail good?
So what should the real panacea look like?
But after all, Shutong was also the Aquarius Alchemist of Xingzhi Palace, so his level and vision were naturally much higher than others, and he reacted instantly.
"Mr. Fei, this furnace..."
"Haha, did you find it?"
Shutong nodded, and then immediately asked Long Fu Shi:
"Poetry girl, how many medicinal materials did you use in total?"
"One copy. I only bought two copies of materials for research yesterday. The first copy failed, and this is the second copy."
Long Fushi still replied with some trepidation. She really wanted to be as generous as before, but the black Niwan was always disturbing.
But these words really shocked the young man, because he knew that this was really only Long Fushi's second time refining elixirs, and the Miaoyin furnace that had been with him for many years was likely to lose the bet and change hands.
"It's indeed a portion!"
Shutong took a deep breath, his eyes shining brightly.
"Shall we try it?"
Fei Lao laughed.
"good!"
Shutong nodded.
"Fei Lao...this..."
Long Fushi hesitated to speak but stretched out her hand to stop her. She was really afraid that if she made a mistake, she would burp these two distinguished alchemists, and they would really be unable to fly.
"It's okay, it's a bit dark, but based on my many years of experience, this is definitely a Qi-napping pill, and it's non-toxic and harmless~"
As he said that, Mr. Fei threw one into his mouth, and Shutong followed closely and took one. The old man and the young man chewed one like soybeans, making a clicking sound.
As the subtle spiritual energy slowly emitted from their bodies, the two looked at each other and nodded in unison. Shutong spoke first:
"Counting the two we ate, Sister Fu Shi, you made a total of eight in one furnace."
"Um…"
Long Fushi didn't understand what Shutong meant, but the clever Qingyun immediately realized something and said strangely:
"Huh? The Miaoyin Furnace is small to begin with. How did you manage to refine eight Naqi Pills with your spiritual materials?"
"According to common sense, if the spiritual materials of Naqi Pills are refined into elixirs, it will be about four to five pills. If you want to refine them to eight pills, you basically have to make the best use of them without any waste or mistakes."
Mr. Fei also commented.
"Yes, spiritual materials are precious and I don't want to waste them."
Long Fushi nodded.
"Then how did you do it?"
Shutong asked immediately.
"I saw that "Seventy-two Lectures on Ancient Methods of Alchemy" mentioned the idea of increasing the rate of elixir formation by reducing the efficacy of the medicine, so I gave it a try."
"It's that simple?"
Shutong looked in disbelief.
"Well...it's not that simple..."
Then, Long Fushi started from the structure of the Miaoyin furnace, combined with changing the function of the fire gathering array, and arranging simple spirit gathering arrays in the alchemy furnace, prolonging the alchemy cycle, etc., just like a senior alchemist. A group of people were dizzy talking about it.
Only Fei Lao and Shu Tong couldn't help but nod their heads, especially Shu Tong, who greatly appreciated some of the insights put forward by Long Fu's poems, and there was even a little respect in his eyes.
"The key is that I replaced the Water Moon Cinnabar with the more malleable Black Gold Cinnabar to stabilize the outer structure of the Naqi Pill, so... maybe it doesn't look very good..."
At the end of his words, Long Fushi blushed again with embarrassment and said again:
"I made the two seniors laugh."
Hearing this, Shutong and Fei Lao looked at each other for a while. After a while, the old man spoke first:
"Let me just say, Master's vision is definitely not wrong."
"Fei Lao..."
"I'm sure, Poetry Girl, your idea is completely correct, and the result is obvious."
The old man nodded in praise, but then the conversation changed:
"But, although it is a good idea to make the best use of everything, the Naqi Pill is originally the lowest-level elixir in the Xuan level. Even the Lingyin realm monks have very little use in the later stages. You have increased the elixir formation rate but reduced the efficacy of the medicine. , in this way, the selling price of the elixir itself will be greatly affected, not to mention that the cost of your hard work will increase significantly. Your Long family is a merchant family, you should understand what I mean, right?"
No one expected that this seemingly upright and selfless old man would actually say such words that were completely different from academics, and even spoke in a secular tone, which made these young people find it hard to believe.
"Why are you looking at me like that? This Furnace Qi Pill is only 80% effective as the genuine product at most. It seems that the quantity has increased, but the price is definitely not 80% of the original price. Zhijing Dongtian Alchemy is used to make money, not Even my master never makes a loss in business when he opens a charity hall!"
Fei Lao pretended to be angry, and Shutong nodded after hearing this. Only an old but gentle voice suddenly sounded in Long Fushi's mind.
"How many times have you seen "Seventy-two Lectures on Ancient Methods of Alchemy"?"
Long Fushi was shocked, knowing that this was a message from Fei Lao's spiritual consciousness, and silently recited:
"Time is short, and this junior has only watched less than ten lectures."
"Remember everything?"
"take note of it."
"Hey, it's true. Master said that you have a photographic memory. It would take an ordinary person a year and a half just to read one lecture. You have read nearly ten lectures in just a few days of school."
"Senior is so complimentary."
Long Fu was ashamed of his poems, but Fei Lao's thoughts became serious in vain:
"With Qingyun's current status, including credits, it is absolutely impossible to borrow "Seventy-two Lectures on Ancient Methods of Alchemy", so you have to pay attention."
Hearing these words, Long Fushi was shocked.
She was very aware of the deep meaning in Fei Lao's words. She quickly clasped her fists and said in a deep voice:
"Thank you, Mr. Fei, for reminding me. This junior has learned a lesson."
Everyone didn't know why, but they all thought that Long Fushi was thanking Mr. Fei for his previous words. After the old man secretly prompted her, he smiled again and raised his eyebrows.
"It's easy to say, but this is an excellent method for monks who want to be self-sufficient. I will mention this innovative reform back to Shoujing Palace, and will also give it to the Long family...well, and you Several people deserve their reward.”
"Thank you, Mr. Fei!"
Qingyun and Little Fox quickly clasped their fists.
In fact, the money-lover such as Xiaoye wanted to ask if there were any patent fees, but then he changed his mind. If he asked Zhijing Dongtian for patent fees, he would probably be expelled from the school immediately.
"Actually, this method still has relatively high requirements for the overall quality of the alchemist. Not to mention the alchemy technique, just modifying the formation is a huge knowledge. Changing the formation is not the same as setting up the formation. A slight difference can make a huge difference. .”
Shutong echoed.
"If you knew that this was only Fu Shi's second elixir refining, you might have wiped your neck."
The young man complained endlessly.
At this time, Long Fushi stared at Qingyun with deep meaning, and pointed at the wonderful sound furnace in the distance. The corners of his raised mouth were filled with the pride of a winner, making Qingyun smile bitterly.
After a brief interlude, Long Fushi and the little fox had a rough understanding of Fei Lao's temperament. As the sun set over the western hills and the lanterns began to turn on, the old man finally officially started the purpose of his trip.
"Qingyun, didn't you say you invited me over for a drink?"
Phew~
"You old man came here uninvited, okay?"
Alian was most familiar with the expression of Qingyun's black line, so she quickly smiled and said:
"Boss Fei is here, we are in great glory~"
"Yes, yes, Sister Lian, hurry up and give Mr. Fei some tea. I'll cook. We must entertain Mr. Fei well today!"
Long Fu's poems also echoed the poem.
"Haha... ok, ok... I've heard from Ziyu that your cooking skills are at their peak. If you eat anything else, it will be hard to swallow. Old man, I have to give it a try!"
Fei Lao laughed and seemed to particularly appreciate Long's poems.
"Made, my dormitory will be turned into a hotel in the future. I have only been here four or five days in total, and we have had three banquets."
After looking through his treasure bag, he sadly discovered that all the wine he bought in Qianzhong City had been drunk...
