Yan Qi smiled mysteriously: "When you watched Gao Ji perform Thunderbolt in Fire, did you really think she was barefoot?"
Kong Chen frowned: "Isn't it barefoot? I saw it with my own eyes."
“Seeing may not be believing.”
Yan Qidao: "Actually, Gao Ji's feet and calves are not naked, but covered with a layer of transparent, colorless crystals. This crystal will dissolve in the skin when blown by the wind. On the top, it looks like water, covering all the skin. A little further away, it is indistinguishable to the naked eye."
"The most amazing thing is that this kind of crystal can insulate heat in a short period of time. Although the charcoal is hot, with this layer of crystals that can insulate, Gao Ji cannot feel much heat at all, and it can only reach fifty degrees at best. Fifty degrees, Lord Kong Chen, even your footbath water is higher than this temperature."
Kong Chen was shocked: "How could it be so magical?"
Yan Qi clasped her hands behind her back and said, "The world is so big and full of wonders, so this little trivial thing doesn't matter."
Leng Youxue couldn't hold it in anymore and asked: "This kind of crystal can actually insulate? What on earth is it that is so magical?"
Yan Qi opened the bag at hand and pointed to the white crystal inside: "Xiaoxue, this is the bag you just brought. The white crystal inside is the magical thing in your mouth."
"what is this?"
Leng Youxue, Kong Chen, Di Renfeng all shook their heads in confusion.
Yan Qidao: "This thing is called borax."
"Borax?"
Leng Youxue and others shook their heads, saying they had never heard of it.
Yan Qi sweated profusely.
However, borax was not very useful in ancient times, and of course very few people knew about it.
Yan Qi explained: "Borax can insulate, filter, and is extremely shiny. Ordinary people know very little about it. However, the masters who make ceramics have a special liking for this thing and regard it as a treasure. These borax are still I bought it from Zhang's Ceramics, it costs ten taels of silver per catty, it's very expensive."
Leng Youxue's eyes darkened, indicating that she didn't understand at all.
Kong Chen, however, had some research on ceramics: "Borax is used in good ceramics. What's the point?"
Yan Qidao: "The two major benefits of borax are that it is shiny and that it is heat-insulating. If borax is used in ceramics, the gloss will be significantly improved. Furthermore, as long as the space inside of any good porcelain is cold, then It’s because borax is used to isolate the outside heat.”
This guy not only introduced borax, but also taught Kong Chen, Di Renfeng and others how to identify the quality of porcelain.
Kong Chen suddenly realized: "Mr. Yan, you are right. Now that I think about it, my porcelain vase is hot on the outside and cold on the inside. I am still wondering why it is so magical. Could it be that the porcelain vase has become a spirit? It turns out that it is added Borax’s sake.”
Di Renfeng wondered: "Why did Gao Ji fail in her second performance? Is it possible that borax is not easy to use?"
Yan Qi had a wicked smile on his face: "Borax is still the same borax, it's just that I tampered with it."
Di Renfeng and the three of them thought at the same time: "What tricks did they do?"
"It's very simple."
Yan Qi said proudly: "Just now I pretended to help Gao Ji wash up, and when Gao Ji wasn't paying attention, I put gypsum powder in the borax."
"Gypsum powder?"
"What's the use of this game?"
Di Renfeng and the others are still puzzled.
Yan Qidao: "Gypsum powder has a characteristic that it dries easily, and cracks will appear after it dries."
"Gao Ji washed her feet with borax and didn't think there was any problem at first. But when she stood on the charcoal, the gypsum attached to the borax would quickly evaporate. After the gypsum evaporates, fine cracks will appear. The charcoal fire starts from the cracks. It poured in everywhere and burned Gao Ji."
"I see!"
When everyone heard it, they felt it was both magical and sublime.
Kong Chen gave Yan Qi a thumbs up: "I didn't expect that Mr. Yan would be so involved in hundreds of schools of thought and various miscellaneous studies. I admire him, I admire him."
Master Di was also full of emotions: "We scholars think that after reading the Book of Songs and Music, we are proficient in the world's articles. In fact, it is just a corner of the world. Brother Yan, you are knowledgeable in hundreds of schools of thought. People."
Leng Youxue glanced at Yan Qi with her beautiful eyes, her eyes full of admiration, and even a little proud of Yan Qi.
Humph, this is the man my aunt likes.
He knows so much.
Yan Qidao: "Okay, everyone, I have satisfied your curiosity. Next, let's get down to business. In a while, we will work together to expose the Lotus Sect's shenanigans."
…
At this moment, people were questioning one after another.
"Why was the Holy King's envoy burned?"
"The Lotus Sect's magic doesn't work?"
…
Wu Hao panicked for a while before finally finding a suitable reason: "Everyone, please be patient and listen to me."
Wu Hao flew down from the lotus platform and pretended to be calm: "The reason why Gao Ji failed in her performance is because she was severely punished by me just now. She was physically and mentally injured, and her magic power was also reduced sharply. Please understand."
In fact, the people still have great trust in the Lotus Sect. Just now, Gao Ji failed in her performance and was burned by fire. It was just a small episode and could not shake the God-like status of the Lotus Sect in the hearts of the people.
After listening to Wu Hao's explanation, everyone could accept it.
Don’t those legendary gods sometimes run out of mana?
Seeing that everyone's emotions had calmed down, Wu Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Qi jumped out and said loudly: "Fellows and fellow villagers, this is just a performance of thunder in fire, so what kind of magic power is needed?"
Wu Hao didn't expect that Yan Qi would come out to find fault again.
He is not a fool either.
Now it is confirmed that Yan Qi, the bastard, is just here to kick the can down the road.
He came with bad intentions.
Wu Hao stared at Yan Qi and said aggressively: "Don't talk nonsense. If you don't have magic power to protect yourself, how can you perform a thunderbolt in the fire? Yan Qi, if you dare to confuse the audience again, I will definitely kick you out of the ceremony."
"Who said you can't perform a thunderbolt in the fire without magic power?"
Yan Qi smiled faintly: "Although I don't have any magic power and have never practiced the Lotus Sect's techniques, I still dare to perform the strange and obscene skill of thunder in the fire in front of everyone."
"What, strange and obscene skills?"
Wu Hao was furious and said angrily: "You dare to say that the thunderbolt in the fire is a strange and obscene skill? You are so loud. You actually despise the boundless magic power of the Lotus Sect. You say you dare to perform it? Well, well, you have the guts, forget it. You have the guts."
"It's useless to talk more. Now, right now, Yan Qi, just perform in front of the people. I'd like to see how you were burned to death."
Yan Qi stretched and said casually: "Isn't it just a performance of thunderbolt in the fire? It's such a simple thing, but you still have to worry and make me angry? Come on, Xiaoxue, help me wash up..."
Wu Hao had a ferocious smile on his face: "Okay, I want to see how you were burned to death. You died, but it has nothing to do with our Lotus Sect."
