When Qi Lingzhi saw Sifu, her stern pretty face smiled slightly, but when she saw Sifu helping Jiang Yan remove debris from his collar out of habit, her eyes couldn't help but froze.
She knew Sifu and knew that Sifu's origin was extremely mysterious, but she didn't know that Sifu and Jiang Yan knew each other.
The expression on his face remained unchanged, but he thought to himself: Could it be that this Jiang Yan also has a great origin?
"Sister Si, Sister Yiren, since you know Miss Qi, you can reminisce about old times first, and I won't greet you anymore. I need to start preparing to refine the elixir immediately."
"Well, you go and do your work and don't worry about us." Qing Yiren nodded and motioned to Jiang Yan to go and do his work and don't worry about them.
Jiang Yan walked to the corner, opened a huge box placed in the corner, and then lifted an alchemy furnace from it.
Jiang Yan searched the entire Bei'an City market a few days ago, but could not find any alchemy furnaces for sale.
The alchemy furnace he was holding in his hand was made by a craftsman from Beixuan Star who forged swords after receiving the inheritance of alchemy.
The alchemy furnace was placed on the floor of the east wing of the small courtyard. The floor made a "dong" sound. It was obvious that the alchemy furnace was very heavy.
Although he had simulated the process of refining the Rejuvenation Pill countless times in his mind, it was his first time to actually do it, so Jiang Yan was inevitably a little nervous.
"The Great Wilderness Sutra" records: The refining of elixirs is extremely cumbersome and strict. Even in the ancient times when capable Qi alchemists emerged in large numbers, those who could refine elixirs were extremely rare.
The refining of rejuvenation pills not only requires specific medicinal materials, but many of these medicinal materials grow in remote mountains and forests, and some need to be picked at specific seasons. In ancient times, medicinal collectors had to brave hardships and visit famous mountains and rivers in search of these rare medicinal materials. Once found, they need to be collected carefully to avoid waste.
After collecting the alchemy materials, the alchemist will often use his own fire-attribute internal energy to activate the firepower of the alchemy furnace. During the elixir refining process, the alchemist must control the heat very carefully to ensure that the medicinal properties of each medicinal ingredient can be fully released.
The medicinal properties of the medicinal materials will gradually merge with the refining time and gradually form a round shape. Now comes the most critical step: becoming a pill.
Many of the failures of alchemists in refining elixirs are caused by this step.
In other words, the refining of elixirs not only requires rich knowledge, but also firm determination and strong control. The entire alchemy process is not just refining elixirs, but also a journey of spiritual practice.
Jiang Yan had never had any experience in refining elixirs. The reason why he dared to agree to the Qi family was not only because the various steps of refining rejuvenation elixirs were recorded in great detail in the inheritance of "The Great Wilderness Sutra", but also because he obtained the Blood Ganoderma. And it is a blood Ganoderma that is over a thousand years old.
The Blood Ganoderma obtained from the secret realm of raising corpses is more than a thousand years old and has certain life-extending power.
It can be said that as long as this blood Ganoderma is used as the main ingredient, the success rate of the rejuvenation pill can reach more than 80%.
After placing the alchemy furnace and the required medicinal materials, Jiang Yan sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace and began to refine the elixir.
In the early morning in Bei'an City, the sun shines on the beautiful courtyard decorated with Sifu. The golden radiance interweaves with the lingering mist, like a flowing picture scroll.
In the side room, the fire of the alchemy furnace swayed, emitting a faint orange-red light, reflecting Jiang Yan's young face. He was wearing a green shirt, his face was as calm as water, and his eyes were focused and deep.
Jiang Yan slowly put various medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace in a specific order. With a subtle hissing sound, the furnace fire began to jump and emit a unique aroma.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Jiang Yan reached out and picked up the blood Ganoderma lucidum. With a swipe of his fingers, most of the Blood Ganoderma lucidum fell into the alchemy furnace, making a "chichi" sound when it collided with other medicinal materials in the alchemy furnace.
With the addition of Blood Ganoderma, the initially light aroma gradually became richer, and a mysterious aura filled the room. Jiang Yan closed his eyes and seemed to be communicating with this breath. His face showed an indescribable contentment and tranquility.
The surrounding air seemed to be affected by this scene and became extremely quiet. There was only the crackling of the fire and the sound of medicinal herbs popping slightly under the high temperature, like an ancient piece of music.
The sunlight shines on Jiang Yan through the window lattice, forming mottled light and shadow, giving him a somewhat transcendent temperament.
In the small courtyard, at some point, there were only three women left.
The three women also stopped talking and sat at the stone table, all looking at Jiang Yan in the side room.
The sun rises and sets, and it's dusk in the blink of an eye.
The aroma in the alchemy furnace gradually spread into the small courtyard. At some point, a civet cat jumped over the wall and lay on the open space not far from the wing, greedily sucking the aroma emanating from the crack in the door. A pair of green eyes stared at the door without blinking.
"This cat belongs to the monkey spirit." Qing Yiren said with a smile while looking at the civet cat on the ground.
"Yes, he is also a lucky little guy." Qi Lingzhi looked at the civet cat lying on the ground with a contented look on her face, her eyes slightly envious.
"Sister Qi family, why don't you come to my place to deal with me all night? We haven't seen each other for a long time." Seeing that Jiang Yan could not complete the refining of the elixir in a short while, Sifu invited Qi Lingzhi.
Qi Lingzhi hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you Sister Si for your kindness, but you may also know about my grandfather's situation. I want to wait for Mr. Jiang to refine the elixir, and then get the elixir and return to Beimo City as soon as possible."
"Yeah, that's fine." Sifu stood up and pointed to the west wing of the small courtyard and said, "This house has just been decorated. I haven't lived in it yet. Everything is brand new. Sister Qi can stay in it at night. Rest here."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Si."
Seeing Qi Lingzhi's slightly tired expression, Sifu said nothing and walked out of Jiang Yan's courtyard with Qing Yiren.
"Yiren, it seems now that your vision was absolutely amazing. You caught such a treasure boy directly."
In the car, Sifu smiled and chatted with Qing Yiren.
"At that time, I just thought that Jiang Yan had great potential in genetic evolution. I never thought that he would grow so fast."
"Honestly, his growth rate really exceeded my expectations."
Qing Yiren said with a tone of surprise and expectation: "Jiang Yan is now standing in front of some of the so-called geniuses I know. He is not inferior, and it is very possible that he is even better!"
"Yeah, who knows how many things he still has. Anyway, every time I see him, he can squeeze out something new." Sifu also said with a smile:
"From the initial amazing swordsmanship, to the amazing skills in public competitions in the ring, to the fifth-level extraordinary being less than twenty years old, and now he knows how to make alchemy, which has been almost cut off..."
"I really want to see how many things he knows that we don't know about. For ordinary people, just picking one of them would be enough to be amazing, but he can actually do them all!"
