Afterwards, Lu Cheng first went to the antique city, then to the antique market, and then to the museum. He wanted to find an ancient alchemy furnace. Even if he couldn't find the original, he still wanted to understand the principle of alchemy.
He had seen how Wu Luo refined the Enlightenment Pill, using a bronze cauldron.
In his newly obtained "Lingjiu Palace Witch Medicine Collection Volume 2", there is an introduction to the bronze cauldron alchemy.
The next day, Lu Cheng took the high-speed train to Jinling.
He saw alchemy furnaces from the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties at the Jinling Museum.
On the third day, he went to the Magic City and continued to search for various pill furnaces.
On the fourth and fifth days, he visited many Taoist temples.
It wasn't until the morning of the sixth day that he saw a dark alchemy furnace in the Miluobao Pavilion of Xuanmiao Temple in Suzhou, one of the ten Taoist temples in the country. As soon as he saw the alchemy furnace, he jumped up excitedly: "Okay, great! This is it!"
Why is it? Because Lu Cheng knew the art of looking at Qi, he saw the five-color treasure light emitting from this alchemy furnace at a glance! Accompanying the Baoguang is the dense Dan Qi and the refreshing fragrance.
Lu Cheng saw so many alchemy furnaces, but only this one was the most impressive, with steaming light and mist, curling smoke and clouds, forming its own runes to communicate with the sky!
Xuanmiao Temple is a tourist attraction, and many items are labeled.
This alchemy furnace also has a text introduction.
The alchemy furnace was first made by Wei Boyang and has been kept in Xuanmiao Temple since then. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Taoist priests in all dynasties used it to make elixirs! In the early years, the alchemy furnace was red in color and very beautiful. It has been 80 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The alchemy furnace has not been used anymore, so its color is getting darker and darker.
Lu Cheng secretly gritted his teeth: "I must get it!"
But what to do? Will Xuanmiao Guan sell such an item that has been passed down for a long time? This matter may seem small, but it may not be something that the owner of Xuanmiao Temple can decide, because Xuanmiao Temple has long been taken over by the state. The state allocated funds to rebuild the mountain gate and Sanqing Hall, and also helped reshape the golden statue of the statue in the hall. .
Lu Cheng felt a headache just thinking about it: "We still need to open up connections for a pill furnace? What if we can't get through? This pill furnace already belongs to the category of cultural relics, and cultural relics cannot be traded."
He felt that since he knew it couldn't work, he shouldn't ask more questions, so as not to alert the enemy.
Lu Cheng walked out of Xuanmiao Temple, activated the disguise talisman, and walked towards the jade carving shop.
When he arrived at the door of the store, he took out a large piece of mutton-fat white jade from his storage ring and held it in his arms.
"Come here, come here! Master Zhang, I got the jade material, where do you want to put it?"
"Ah? Put it on the ground first! Let me take a look."
Zhang Anqi, Wang Chengzhi and many apprentices gathered around.
"Let me take a look...it looks very good on the outside. It is indeed mutton-fat white jade. I'm not sure about the inside..."
"It should be fine. It's very transparent from every angle..."
"How many kilograms does such a big guy have to weigh?"
"At least two hundred kilograms!"
"It's square and easy to calculate. The density of mutton-fat jade is 3 grams per cubic centimeter..."
These people chattered and discussed for a long time.
Zhang Anqi looked up at Lu Cheng and said with a smile: "You said it would take a week, and it's almost here. I thought you couldn't get the jade material. I didn't expect you actually got it! You can hold such a heavy guy." Move! You are very strong."
Lu Cheng said, "Do you want me to help you put it in the safe?"
"Wait a minute, I'll cut it open and see what's inside. Cutting it into small pieces is easier to store. _o_m "
"Then you cut slowly. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Zhang Anqi said: "Don't leave, I'll give you a receipt."
Lu Cheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. After you cut it open, study it carefully and it won't be too late to issue a receipt."
That night, something happened at Xuanmiao Temple. Someone took advantage of the night to "borrow" the alchemy furnace.
The next day, the Taoist priests and maintenance staff in the temple paid no attention to this matter.
It wasn't until five days later that someone suddenly mentioned: "I remember there is an alchemy furnace here? Right?"
The person next to me asked: "Is there an alchemy furnace?"
"Yes, it's a very big alchemy furnace. I tried to move it, but it was too heavy and I couldn't move it alone."

Chapter 327 Cultural Relics Alchemy Furnace
"Yes, yes, the alchemy furnace is the treasure of this palace, weighing 280 kilograms. How could it disappear? Even the introduction text is gone. It seems like this treasure has never existed."
"What baby? A black iron lump!"
"It's not an iron lump, it's made of copper!"
"Stop talking, if you lose your treasure, call the police!"
Soon, several police officers came to investigate.
"On what date was it lost?"
"have no idea."
"Is there anyone suspicious?"
"Not sure."
"Are there any footprints left at the scene?"
"The footprints were messy and the scene was damaged."
"Where are the fingerprints?"
"not found."
"Not a hair at all?"
"No hair left."
The police transferred all the nearby camera videos and watched them for a long time, but could not find any clues.
"It's strange! It takes at least two or three people to lift the 280-kilogram alchemy furnace! Why did it disappear inexplicably?"
"It's not a dark and windy night. The moonlight has been very good these days. There are bright lights at the front and back doors of the Taoist temple, and the camera can capture it clearly. Could it be that the thief escaped by jumping over the wall with the alchemy furnace in his arms?"
"What a worry! How should we investigate a case like this?"
"Hmph, it doesn't matter if you throw away a broken pill furnace! It's not a murder case, it must be solved."
"Yes, although the alchemy furnace is an ancient relic, it is not listed as a national cultural relic, so the consequences are not that serious."
"Didn't you say that the alchemy furnace was passed down from the Jin Dynasty? Why is it not a national cultural relic?"
"Don't listen to the nonsense of those Taoist priests! In my opinion, it can be as high as the Ming Dynasty, not even the Yuan Dynasty."
As a result, in less than a month, the case became a pending case and was shelved.
Lu Cheng placed the alchemy furnace in the yard of Qiucheng Garden, placed a 6600 nine-speed high-power induction cooker under the alchemy furnace, found a few simple elixir recipes from the "Lingjiu Palace Witch Medicine Collection", and began to try to refine it. Pill. The purpose of refining these basic elixirs is to get familiar with the alchemy furnace and see if this ancient alchemy furnace works. If not, return it to others as soon as possible.
He refined the Qi-Building Pill and the Blood-Activating Pill. These are elixirs based on spiritual grass. They are in the same vein as the Tongmai Pill, the Heart-Nourishing Pill, the Guiyuan Pill, the Kaiming Pill, the Nourishing Spirit Pill, and even the Lingwu Pill. .
Luo Ji, Luo Tong, and Zhao Hongshao all helped him refine elixirs such as leopard gunpowder in high-temperature furnaces. Although they didn't know what they were refining, after a few months, they were used to it.
Especially Luo Ji and Luo Tong, because they had eaten small pieces of Biyi Dan, Xiong Dan, and Hu Dan, and knew that these were miraculous medicines, they rushed to help Lu Cheng guard the high-temperature furnace.
This time, they all felt very happy when they saw Lu Cheng making a dark alchemy furnace. Under the baking of a high-temperature induction cooker, in less than two days, the dark color of the alchemy furnace faded away, revealing a reddish copper color. Strange.
They don't care where the alchemy furnace comes from, they only care about what kind of elixir comes out and whether it can increase their power.
Lu Cheng distributed the refined Qi-Building Pill and Blood-Activating Pill to the three of them.
After Luo Ji and Luo Tong took the elixir, they practiced the "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms" in the yard and felt that their whole bodies were full of strength. After Zhao Hongshao took the elixir, he followed the "Qi Movement Jue" taught by Lu Cheng to promote blood circulation. I also find it very beneficial.
Lu Cheng was not stingy with his men, teaching them techniques and providing pills.
He feels that it is not easy for everyone, and if you can help, it is a big help. Hello, I am good, everyone is good, which can be regarded as the embodiment of a harmonious society.
If, as a rich man, he ignores the people around him, he will not get the sincere service of others.
Lu Cheng signed a long-term contract with them. Maybe he can still see them after a month.
A period of 60 years. By then Luo Tong will be 83 years old, Luo Ji will be 90 years old, and Zhao Hongshao will be 95 years old. If you are a monk and take the longevity pill, you may be almost 60 years old. If he becomes an innate monk, he will look even younger. _o_m.
