Hearing Lu Ming say that he was kept by a rich woman, Chen's mother was silent again. After a long time, she said, "Um, how old is he?"
Lu Ming's eyes widened: "You don't doubt this anymore?"
Chen’s mother: “Besides following me and being good-looking, you don’t have any other advantages except this.”
Lu Ming: "..."
Mother Chen asked again: "How old is she? Is she older or younger than me?"
Lu Ming: "A little... smaller than you."
Mother Chen: "Can your body bear it? How about I send you some wolfberries?"
Lu Ming: "..."
Lu Ming looked up at the ceiling, feeling bitter and speechless.
After a while, he hung up the phone silently, not wanting to talk to Chen Shumei anymore.
…………
As time went by, in the final round, the results of 39 other countries also came out.
Without exception, all tasks failed.
To a certain extent, what netizens said is not wrong.
After the town added new residents, the difficulty did become more difficult each time.
Especially, there are so many more bombs.
If Lu Ming and Bai Yuekui hadn't been prepared in advance and ran out before the bombs surrounded them, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Strange, this mission obviously has a certain degree of continuity."
"After the previous player dies, he will become a new resident of the town, and the items he carries will also be left behind for Mary-Shaw to use."
"But after Mary Xiao was killed by me, Mary Xiao who was on mission in other countries did not disappear with her."
"The national game is really unconventional."
After seeing the final results coming out one after another, Lu Ming couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
He found that the more experiences he had, the less he understood the national game.
All he can understand is that this power is really strong, so strong that he can't even imagine it now.
I don’t know who Wang Lang asked for advice and what resources he mobilized. It only took him one day to deliver the medicinal materials Lu Ming needed.
Lu Ming was surprised when he saw the medicinal materials delivered in several fresh-keeping boxes.
First, I was surprised at Wang Lang's efficiency, and second, I could really find those medicinal materials in this world.
Originally, he didn't have much expectations for this.
Of course, if you can get it, it’s naturally better.
After thanking the soldier who brought the medicinal materials, Lu Ming put several large boxes of medicinal materials into the system space and then went to the basement.
Here, he made some preparations in advance and transformed it into an alchemy room.
What he called transformation was just to strengthen the room.
After all, there are certain risks in alchemy. There may be accidents such as the explosion of the alchemy furnace. It would be bad if the house collapses.
Gunpowder was invented during the process of refining alchemy, wasn't it?
Of course, it was caused by Taoist priests who had no right to use the right method, adding messy things and making random mistakes.
Lu Ming said this was an authentic alchemy technique, so it would naturally not add deceptive poisonous things like mercury.
In order to show his authenticity, Lu Ming took out the alchemy artifact he had prepared long ago - the induction cooker.
This is an induction cooker that Lu Ming bought specially, which can adjust the fire power infinitely.
Unlike ordinary fixed-speed induction cookers, this kind of induction cooker can be adjusted at will between low heat and high heat.
You can easily control the size and change of the firepower, so that the heat of the alchemy is just right.
The above is just Lu Ming's own guess. He can't guarantee whether it will work or not.
But anyway, there is no alchemy furnace now, and it doesn’t cost any money to give it a try, so why not give it a try.
What if it succeeds?
After turning on the power of the induction cooker, putting on the clean pots and pans, Lu Ming took out the 49 kinds of medicinal materials needed for the most basic Lingyuan Pill.
Note that it is 49 species, not 49 strains.
The induction cooker was started, the pot was preheated, and Lu Ming put in a psychic grass with only three leaves.
If Lu Ming did nothing else, the heat from the induction cooker would gradually burn the psychic grass into a small pile of "coke".
At this time, the elixir techniques needed for elixir refining are needed.
The so-called Dan Jue is actually also a magic technique, which requires various complicated and mysterious gestures on the hands.
Not only speed is required, but precision is also required.
Danjue is also the key to leveraging the mysterious power in the world.
However, this power is specifically used for alchemy.
Lu Ming's hand moved, and his fingers changed instantly, and in a very short period of time, he pinched out seven kinds of elixirs.
As the elixir was pinched, a mysterious force rose from the heaven and earth and landed on the pot on the induction cooker.
With a "bang" sound, the lid of the pot was closed, and the psychic grass in the pot began to undergo drastic changes.
It began to shrink from a piece of grass, and gradually transformed into a mass of liquid medicine, and the impurities in it were gradually separated and placed aside.
Soon, all the essence of this psychic grass was extracted, floating in the pot, shaking slightly, but not falling.
Lu Ming was delighted, this induction cooker could actually make elixirs!
At least, there is no problem with the step of extracting the essence of the medicinal solution.
Lu Ming opened the lid of the pot, took out the jade bottle he had prepared in advance, and pinched an elixir. The small ball of medicinal liquid flew up on its own and sank into the jade bottle.
After cleaning up the impurities of the psychic grass in the pot, Lu Ming followed the same method and put in the second medicinal material - Wild Mendong.
After a while, the essence of the wild asparagus was transformed into a small ball of liquid medicine, and the impurities were separated out.
Lu Ming was even more excited, and he energetically refined 49 kinds of medicinal materials, a total of 73 essences, into medicinal liquids, and put them into 49 jade bottles respectively.
During this process, Lu Ming adjusted the power of the induction cooker from time to time, increasing or weakening its firepower, so that the essence of the medicinal materials could be better extracted without losing its medicinal properties.
After successfully extracting the essence of 49 kinds of medicinal materials, Lu Ming, who was already a little tired, had a smile on his face.
"According to the records of alchemy, the liquid of basic elixirs such as first-grade elixirs can be put away first, and then refined after some mana and spirit have been restored."
"When it comes to high-grade elixirs, their essence must be used within a very short period of time. Once the time has passed, it will lose its medicinal properties and spirituality and cannot be used anymore."
"I don't know how troublesome that would be."
"It's also a big test for mana and mental strength."
"Fortunately, the induction cooker I use does not require mana to control the heat. If I had used an alchemy furnace, I would have had to use mana to control the heat, which would have made me even more tired than I am now."
After Lu Ming sighed a few words, he took a short rest and started the second step of refining the alchemy.
According to the alchemy records obtained by Lu Ming, alchemy is divided into five steps:
1. Refining.
2. Rongdan.
3. Condensing elixir.
4. Divide pills.
5. Collect pills.
It doesn't seem difficult, but every step is extremely complicated.
Not only do you need to master the heat, but you also need a lot of alchemy assistance, and even a little mistake is not enough.
Just now, Lu Ming extracted the essence of medicinal materials, which was the first step of refining.
Next, is the second step of melting the pill.
