As Tang Yan expected, when he arrived at the formation pavilion, he saw Mr. Zhen and Mr. Huo playing chess.
Seeing Tang Yan coming, Mr. Huo pushed the chessboard directly: "No more, Tang Yan, come and sit here."
"Junior, just stand here. I heard that Mr. Huo is looking for me. What's the matter?" Tang Yan was very polite.
"It's okay, just sit down and talk." Huo Lao didn't show any force, and a chair flew over from a distance.
Tang Yan did not shirk anymore and sat down as instructed.
"Boy, I saw the elixirs that your gang auctioned today. I wonder where you got those elixirs?" Mr. Huo asked directly.
"Tang Yan, these few pills of yours have made Mr. Huo talk about them for a while." Mr. Zhen smiled, his eyes also full of curiosity.
Tang Yan hesitated for a moment, knowing that sooner or later everyone would know that he was an alchemist, so he did not hide it, and said bluntly: "They are all made by students."
"Pfft!" Mr. Zhen, who was drinking tea at the side, couldn't hold it back and spit out all the tea in a mouthful.
Huo Lao was also shocked by Tang Yan's words. He forgot to dodge for a moment and all the tea was sprayed on Huo Lao.
"Oops, I'm sorry, Lao Huo, I didn't pay attention." Mr. Zhen apologized hastily, but there was no look of guilt in his eyes.
"Write down this account first, and settle it later!" After glaring at Mr. Zhen, Mr. Huo eagerly confirmed: "You refined it all?"
"It's me." Tang Yan nodded.
"This... how is this possible? You are an alchemist yourself. Why didn't you learn alchemy from me at that time?" Mr. Huo frowned.
"There is already a master on the alchemy path, so it's not good to be a disciple again." Tang Yan rolled his eyes and immediately brought out his mysterious master.
"Do you have a master? Who is it?" Huo Lao asked.
"I don't know the name of the master. He just taught the alchemy method and some prescriptions and then disappeared without a trace." Tang Yan sighed deeply, as if the master's whereabouts were really unknown.
Sure enough, Mr. Huo was successfully fooled by Tang Yan's superb acting skills, and sighed: "It turns out there is already a master, but it doesn't matter. If you have any difficulties in alchemy in the future, you can come to me!"
The old man asked in surprise: "Are you still an alchemist? What level are you at?"
"It's only the third level now..." Tang Yan replied weakly.
"Fuck!" Rao Shizhen was extremely calm. At this moment, he couldn't hold it back and directly cursed: "Third level?"
"A mere third level?" Mr. Huo also widened his eyes. I have been in the world for nearly a hundred years, and I have never pretended to be so mellow!
A guy under twenty years old said to an alchemist who was over a hundred years old but only a fourth-level alchemist that he was only a third-level alchemist!
Why don't you pretend that you can die?
"Bang!" A pill cauldron was suddenly released from Huo Lao's storage space.
"Little guy, you can refine a pot of pills at will." Huo Lao said slowly.
Hearing Mr. Huo's serious tone, Tang Yan knew that Mr. Huo did not believe that he was a third-level alchemist.
Although Mr. Zhen didn't speak, the expression on his face revealed suspicion.
Hey, you don’t believe in the young master’s skills. Forget it, let me show you the level of a third-level alchemist who has retrained!
Taking a deep breath, Tang Yan walked to the side of the alchemy furnace.
"The alchemy cauldron is three inches higher than the ordinary alchemy cauldron. It can make the temperature of the flame in the alchemy cauldron more stable, but it also adds some difficulty to alchemy. The true energy is difficult to control. Generally, alchemists below the third level will not choose this method. Similar to the alchemy cauldron.”
"The outer material is Miyun iron, which is smooth, fine, unbreakable, and has excellent heat insulation effect.
Just looking at the outer wall, you can tell that it is worth a lot of money. Huo Lao’s tripod is really good! "
"The inner cauldron is made of Liushuantianjia. In Tingxiang Country, this type of material is among the top materials used for the inner wall.
The inner and outer walls are exquisitely made with natural techniques, and the functional design is also perfect. There should not be such skilled craftsmen in Tingxiang Country, and Huo Lao should have obtained them from other regions. "
As Tang Yan talked eloquently, Elder Huo and Elder Zhen on the side became more and more surprised.
The exact origin of the Danding was unclear to Old Zhen, and neither was its material, but Elder Huo cherished it very much, so he thought it was a treasure.
Listening to Tang Yan's analysis, it seems that this is really the case.
"Lao Huo, how correct was Tang Yan's guess?" Lao Zhen looked at his old friend.
Huo Lao also recovered from the shock, but his tone was still a little unbelievable: "It's exactly right! Little guy, I'm quite looking forward to your next craftsmanship."
Tang Yan was noncommittal, smiled and said: "The most popular third-level elixir on the market now is the Ling Ling Dan. I will refine this one."
"Are you sure?" Mr. Zhen was a little surprised when he heard this. Although he is not an alchemist, he has come into contact with a lot of pills. The Flowing Spirit Pill is not the top among third-level pills, but it is not the bottom either. Middle grade.
If Tang Yan can successfully refine the Spirit-flowing Pill, it will not only prove that he is a third-level alchemist, but also show that he has been a third-level alchemist for some time.
"Well, let's practice it first." Tang Yan nodded.
Seeing Tang Yan's persistence, Mr. Huo and Mr. Zhen stopped talking and sat aside to calmly watch Tang Yan's next alchemy.
Tang Yan didn't feel any nervousness and started the fire skillfully.
Seeing that Tang Yan lit a fire without taking out the medicinal ingredients, Mr. Huo couldn't help but frown.
If you do not sort out the medicinal materials first and preheat the alchemy cauldron, it may cause the alchemy furnace to overheat and make mistakes while busy. Therefore, generally, alchemists will first classify the medicinal materials when making elixirs.
Directly firing can only mean two things: the first is that Tang Yan doesn't know how to make elixirs at all.
The second is that Tang Yan has full confidence in his own strength.
If refining low-level elixirs, Mr. Huo would sometimes get angry first, but to be on the safe side, he would not try it easily.
Looking at Tang Yan's skillful making of fire and his explanation of his alchemy cauldron just now, even if he killed Mr. Huo, he wouldn't believe that Tang Yan didn't know how to make elixirs.
Immediately afterwards, the two elders who stared at Tang Yan were shocked.
They looked at each other in surprise, both noticing the shock in each other's eyes.
Tang Yan, who was originally ordinary, suddenly changed his aura after lighting the fire!
Calm, confident, majestic, and calm, there is also a kind of domineering and domineering attitude, and there is also a kind of natural nature!
Many temperaments merged with each other, and Mr. Huo couldn't help but smack his lips. The aura of this kid actually had the demeanor of a master.
But how is this possible? How old is this guy?
Suppressing the horror in his heart, Huo Lao put away all contempt and stared at Tang Yan with wide eyes.
"Fire orchid, seven taels. Phoenix tail root, four taels. Nine-mark leaves, twenty-seven pieces..." The medicinal materials were thrown directly into the alchemy cauldron. In the end, all the twenty-six medicinal materials for refining the Liuling Pill were thrown away. Tang Yan threw them into the alchemy cauldron one by one.
Huo Lao raised his eyebrows again!
The first step in refining an elixir is to refine and extract it, repeatedly purifying the elixir and removing the dross to leave the essence of the medicinal material.
The more sophisticated the quenching technique and the more times it is extracted, the higher the purity of the medicinal materials will be! The prepared elixirs are of higher quality.
This kid actually threw in all twenty-six medicinal herbs?
Don’t you want to refine your alchemy?
