"Senior brother, it's good morning."
As soon as he arrived at the cafeteria, Lu Li saw the limping figure busy with work. From time to time he raised his arms to wipe the sweat from his forehead. It looked like he was working hard.
The fat man looked back when he heard the sound, and when he saw it was Lu Li, he smiled and said, "Morning." He started to busy himself again, saying while working, "The buns are in the steamer, the porridge is in the pot, and the pickles are here." Over there...you can do it yourself."
"good."
Lu Li nodded, took three small steamed buns, a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickles, and then started eating by himself. I have to say, the steamed buns were very delicious, with minced meat and chives, and the meat was obviously deep-fried. Yes, not boring at all.
After eating a few mouthfuls, Lu Li asked casually, "Senior brother, there seems to be no one else on this mountain. Can you finish eating so much?"
"What you don't know is that besides the great elder, there is a senior brother on this mountain. The great elder rarely comes to eat, but that senior brother is very picky. I will prepare a few more dishes for him to choose at will, so that he will not be eaten. Punished."
"Senior brother?"
"That's Senior Brother Deng Qingsheng and Deng I mentioned yesterday. He is the registered disciple of the Great Elder." At this point, the fat man sighed and shook his head and stopped talking.
Lu Li didn't ask any questions. After eating in a hurry, he went to the door of the alchemy room and waited quietly.
After waiting for half an hour, Xiao Jue slowly walked over with a tall and thin young man in green clothes. Xiao Jue was in front and the young man in green clothes was behind. He looked quite extraordinary.
Seeing that Lu Li was waiting here in advance, Xiao Jue couldn't help but nodded, "I have a good understanding."
After he finished speaking, Lu Li clearly saw the young man behind him frowning, but he pretended not to notice and said respectfully, "This is what a disciple should do."
"Disciple, what kind of disciple?" The young man in green immediately scolded, "You are just a handyman, and you dare to call yourself a disciple. Remember, in front of the master, you can only call yourself a subordinate!"
master?
It turns out that this person is Deng Qingsheng.
Lu Li frowned slightly, but did not object and bowed his head in agreement.
Xiao Jue turned around and glanced at Deng Qingsheng, shook his head without saying anything, took out a token and pressed it on the door. After a flash of light, the door of the alchemy room was lifted up with a rumble.
Only then did Lu Li realize that the gate was actually a large stone about a foot thick.
The alchemy room was wider than the cave where Lu Li lived. There was a one-foot-high alchemy platform in the middle. A bronze three-legged alchemy furnace was placed above the alchemy platform. There was a knob mechanism directly in front of the alchemy platform.
There are many shelves around the alchemy room, with some jade bottles placed on them, and there are many books on the east shelf.
After the two of them entered, Lu Li lowered his head and walked in.
"Boy, you must have never been exposed to alchemy. Today I brought Qingsheng here. Firstly, he will be familiar with alchemy. Secondly, I will give you a demonstration so that you can understand what you will do when I refine alchemy in the future." Jue turned around and said to Lu Li.
"Brother, my subordinates know."
Xiao Jue nodded and winked at Deng Qingsheng. Deng Qingsheng immediately walked back to the door and pressed a mechanism. The thick stone door suddenly fell with a rumble.
Just when Lu Li thought the room would become dark, several white lights suddenly shot out from the roof. It turned out... there were ventilation windows and lighting tiles on it.
It's just that when the stone door was opened, it was covered.
Then Xiao Jue stretched out his hand and magically produced a large amount of medicinal materials and placed them in the jade basin on the alchemy platform. Then he sat directly on the futon in front of the alchemy platform and gently turned the knob.
As the knob turned, a flash of fire suddenly appeared under the alchemy furnace, and the temperature in the room immediately rose.
amazing.
This was the first time for Lu Li to see alchemy, and he wondered how there could be such a big fire underground.
"Get out of here!"
While Lu Li was thinking, Deng Qingsheng suddenly pushed Lu Li, almost making him sit on the ground. Lu Li suddenly became angry, and after steadying himself, he glared at Deng Qingsheng.
"Why, you can't get me to fight!" Deng Qingsheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Li contemptuously.
Lu Li's behavior in front of Xiao Jue just now made him extremely unhappy. In his opinion, as a handyman, he should have the consciousness of a handyman, and it was simply unforgivable for him to want to climb the master's tree.
"Okay! You are at the fourth level of Qi training. Why bother with him? Just pick out the medicinal materials." Xiao Jue suddenly said calmly.
"Yes, Master." Deng Qingsheng glared at Lu Li fiercely, squatted down next to the jade basin in front of Lu Li and started sorting the medicinal materials.
It turned out to be the fourth level of Qi training.
Lu Li calmed down and looked at Deng Qingsheng's back without knowing what he was thinking.
"This step is called heating the furnace. The temperature should not be too high when heating the furnace, otherwise it will have an indelible impact on the first medicinal material..." Xiao Jue suddenly spoke, not sure whether he was talking to Deng Qingsheng or to Deng Qingsheng. It's for Lu Li.
"Remember, master." Deng Qingsheng said while sorting the medicinal materials.
Lu Li was about to speak, but he closed his mouth when he heard this, showing a hint of self-mockery. He was just a handyman, how could the other party give him advice, but he still took note of Xiao Jue's words seriously.
If you don’t give me any advice, it’s not illegal for me to secretly memorize it myself.
"One Black Pearl Grass." Xiao Jue spoke again.
"Yes." After hearing this, Deng Qingsheng hurriedly took out a dark elixir from the jade basin, opened the furnace lid and threw it in.
It turns out that this is called Xuanzhu grass.
Lu Li saw it and secretly remembered it.
After the medicinal materials were put into the furnace, Xiao Jue controlled the ground fire switch again. The fire instantly became bigger. Lu Li looked over and realized that Xiao Jue was operating with his eyes closed. He couldn't help but be curious, how could he know the size of the fire without looking.
And upon closer inspection, Xiao Jue's hand controlling the ground fire switch was always shaking slightly, and the flames under the alchemy furnace also changed slightly. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to tell at all.
Lu Li wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to ask.
Suddenly, Lu Li noticed that Xiao Jue's face suddenly trembled.
It turned out that there were a few drops of sweat flowing into the corners of the other party's eyes. Lu Li changed his mind, looked around and saw a handkerchief on the shelf behind him, so he took it off carefully, then walked over slowly and controlled his steps and gave it to Xiao. Jue wiped it.
This guy has great eyesight.
Although Xiao Jue didn't open his eyes, he knew it was Lu Li who did it.
Cao! What a bitch!
Deng Qing was so angry that he trembled. He wanted to say something angrily but stopped it.
Lu Li saw it, but still pretended not to see it. As long as he could learn what he wanted, let alone wipe off the sweat, it would be no problem for him to carry his shoes. As for Deng Qingsheng, it was probably because of Xiao's attitude towards him. And you're jealous.
"This fire control cannot be done in a hurry. You need to be familiar with the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials. Different medicinal materials require different heats. A little heavier or a little lighter will affect the quality of the finished pill. What we can do is to continue to refine it, and countless Experiment to improve your familiarity with various medicinal materials..."
"And when controlling fire, you cannot use your eyes to see the size of the flame. You need to sink your consciousness into the furnace, observe the smelting degree of the medicinal materials at all times, and control the fire according to the smelting degree of the medicinal materials. This is the best..."
"It is rumored that as long as a powerful alchemist gets a medicinal material, he will know how much heat to use and how long it takes to smelt it... That is our ultimate goal."
"...."
Lu Li held his breath and listened to Xiao Jue's intermittent narration, fearing that he would miss a word.
