In the slightly worn bronze furnace, the elixir fire slowly maintained the temperature of the liquid medicine.
Tiny impurities were slowly peeled off from the liquid. Finally, the liquid became more pure, with only the last impurity left.
Qin Gengyun's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. He controlled his consciousness and pulled out the last few impurities from the liquid medicine.
Done!
Qin Gengyun calmed down and pushed all the impurities into the erysipelas chamber on the side of the alchemy furnace, which was isolated from the main furnace.
Now, only the most essential parts of the medicinal materials remain in the main furnace.
Refined, done!
Qin Gengyun breathed out a heavy breath, and the depression in his heart disappeared.
I finally took this most difficult step.
There are three next steps: fusion, spiritual infusion, and elixir formation.
Fusion is to combine the refined medicinal liquid into one, which is also preparation for the last two steps.
Qin Gengyun spent half an hour melting the liquid.
Next is the spiritual injection. The alchemist injects his own spiritual power into the medicinal liquid and activates the furnace fire to fuse the spiritual energy and medicinal liquid as quickly as possible and convert them into medicinal spiritual energy.
At this point, this potion liquid has the effect of elixir.
This step of injecting spirits is not the most difficult, but it is the riskiest.
Because the furnace fire must be activated to the highest level in an instant, if the temperature changes suddenly, if the control is not good, there is a risk of explosion of the furnace.
However, the most difficult refining process was over. Qin Gengyun was full of confidence and vowed to successfully refine the elixir tonight.
I succeeded in refining the elixir for the second time. Maybe I am really that unique genius?
Inject spiritual power into the medicinal liquid, and then vigorously fan the fire-controlling fan. The fire instantly ignites, and the temperature in the alchemy furnace rises instantly.
Qin Gengyun wrapped the medicinal solution with his spiritual consciousness, and suddenly, the furnace lid began to vibrate.
not good!
Qin Gengyun was shocked and withdrew his consciousness.
next moment.
boom!
The furnace cover was blown away and embedded directly into the stone slab above the head. A small hole was opened in the alchemy furnace, the liquid medicine splashed everywhere, and the fire suddenly appeared on the ground.
Qin Gengyun quickly took two steps back. Fortunately, he was not burned by the elixir fire, but the furnace of liquid medicine was completely scrapped.
Fryer!
This is a common situation, but it is also the situation that alchemists are most afraid of encountering.
An ordinary bronze furnace is also very expensive. Blowing up an alchemy furnace means that a low-level alchemist's life savings are gone.
If you want to buy another alchemy furnace, with the income of an ordinary casual cultivator, you don't know how long you will have to save the spiritual stones.
Qin Gengyun was the same, even worse.
He couldn't even afford an ordinary bronze furnace, so he had to buy a second-hand alchemy furnace.
But now, even the second-hand alchemy furnace I just bought has exploded.
How can he buy another spiritual stone if he still has one?
When other people encounter such a situation, the most they can do is give up on being an alchemist.
But he can't give up. If he gives up, he can only wait for death!
Qin Gengyun stood blankly in front of the scrapped pill furnace, his face ashen and his body stiff.
"You have erysipelas in your body. If you can't detoxify it, you won't live to be forty years old."
"When you and I build the foundation, it will come to light again!"
"I want to build a foundation before I turn forty and become a fourth-level alchemist!"
"I want to buy a spiritual mansion in Zhenyang City so that you can live a good life!"
Suddenly, scenes from the past came to mind.
There is the pain and perseverance when erysipelas attacks, the heroism when looking forward to the future with friends, and the confidence when making a promise to your wife...
But at this moment, in front of the damaged alchemy furnace, everything turned into delusions and jokes.
"you……"
A crisp voice sounded behind him, awakening Qin Gengyun who was in a turmoil in his mind. He turned back to look at Qiu Zhihe.
Today she was wearing a lotus-embroidered Yanluo shirt. Although it was still black, the white skin above her chest was even more dazzling, and the mountains and rivers wrapped in the black shirt became more and more attractive.
This delicate and beautiful woman had doubts on her face:
"Does the furnace need to be blown up to make Qingfeng Powder?"
Qin Gengyun smiled bitterly: "Yes, the furnace will explode to make even the lowest grade of elixir. What else can I be like as an alchemist?"
He walked out of the kitchen in despair, and Qiu Zhihe stopped him:
"Fellow Daoist Qin."
Qin Gengyun turned around, only to see that his round face was still as cold as frost:
"Throw this alchemy furnace out and don't occupy the kitchen. I have to cook porridge tomorrow."
Qin Gengyun glared at Qiu Zhihe, "I bought this for eleven spiritual stones!"
How can you just throw it away? !
Qiu Zhihe looked at him indifferently, and Qin Gengyun nodded dejectedly:
"good."
There was a hole in the alchemy furnace, the spiritual energy had been released, and the alchemy fire in the furnace had long been extinguished. After waiting for a while, when the alchemy furnace was no longer so hot, Qin Gengyun moved the scrapped alchemy furnace out.
This is an old bronze furnace, but now it has a hole and is worthless. It is thrown at the door. The landlord will take it away tomorrow.
Qin Gengyun returned to the house with his head hanging down. Qiu Zhihe had already taken off the stove cover embedded in the ceiling and handed it to him. Qin Gengyun took it, walked to the door, and threw it out.
The stove lid hit the ground with a loud bang and rolled far away.
"Why are you making such a fuss? Are you still going to sleep?!"
The roar of the wretched monk came from next door.
Qin Gengyun was silent for a moment, then walked over, picked up the furnace cover, and put it back on top of the scrapped pill furnace.
He gently stroked the still slightly warm furnace body, looking confused.
"It's time to sleep."
Qiu Zhihe's voice came from the room.
Qin Gengyun sighed and returned to the house.
After a while, the candle went out.
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I'm really not in the mood today...?!"
Qin Gengyun, exhausted both physically and mentally, fell into a deep sleep.
Qiu Zhihe got dressed and got out of bed.
In the darkness, her petite figure gradually became taller, and her hands emitted an invisible red light, floating towards the room on the opposite left side.
At this moment, in the room opposite.
Zhao Yi and Qian Er slept on a small bed, with their limbs intertwined and snoring loudly.
Sun San, who had lost the fight tonight, lay on his side on the floor, saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth to his arm.
The three of them were originally extremely vigilant, but they were injured the night before and were tortured by the poison of the Heart-Eating Pill. Last night, they were still injured and moved the bronze furnace to Liuyan Lane. They waited in the cold wind for two hours and finally moved the bronze furnace back. Arrived at Zhaiyu Alley.
This continuous torment was really exhausting, so the three of them slept very soundly tonight.
Suddenly, the three of them felt a sharp pain in their body meridians, and they woke up from their sweet dreams.
"Ah!! How could this happen?!"
"Yes, it's senior who is calling us!"
"Senior, we'll be here soon! Please take away your magical powers!"
The three of them hurried out, enduring the pain and heart-wrenching pain, and stumbled to Liuyan Alley. At the place where they met last night, they saw the hot and terrifying red figure.
The three of them immediately knelt down in front of the red-haired female cultivator:
"Senior, please calm down! Senior, please calm down!"
"Senior, please give me your instructions if you have any orders!"
The red-haired female cultivator said calmly: "Within one stick of incense, I will deliver yesterday's alchemy furnace here."
"ah?"
