Peng.
There was a strong muffled sound, echoed with the clang of metal being pushed open.
Chen Qingyan and the other two helpers subconsciously fell to the ground, and then they felt the sound of cracking in the air above their heads passing by at high speed.
The floor vibrated in winter.
Wait until things calm down.
The two handymen watched with concern as the wall they had been leaning against was now being deeply embedded by a piece of red metal emitting scalding heat. The cracks in the thick wall spread for more than ten feet.
Among them, Zeng Zhaolong, who had been a little absent-minded all morning because of the disappearance of his companion, completely came back to his senses.
He couldn't help but glance at Wang Teng. If the young man hadn't pushed him just now, he would have been smashed to death by now.
Just as he was about to say thank you, he saw a somewhat embarrassed alchemist coming out of the alchemy room and angrily yelled at the stunned people:
"Whatever you are doing so stupidly, let me come in and take care of it."
Several people immediately walked into the alchemy room and skillfully picked up baskets, brooms and other tools. The three of them cooperated and quickly cleaned up the alchemy room.
"Then, you, just you, take the prescription and go get me some medicinal ingredients."
After the alchemist finished giving instructions, he threw the alchemy recipe in front of the servant.
"I'll go right away."
Chen Qingyan responded and quickly walked out of the alchemy room.
After a while, he came back with a bag of medicinal materials.
At this time, Zeng Zhaolong and the others had already moved the new alchemy furnace to the alchemy room.
The alchemist's image is still sloppy and he has no intention of tidying it up.
The medicinal materials and the alchemy furnace were all present, and the three of them left wisely. But just as they walked to the door, the alchemist spoke again,
"Wait, leave someone to help me watch the fire."
The three of them paused and looked at each other.
He looked calm on the outside, but inside he was extremely panicked.
This alchemist was obviously not an expert in alchemy. He had already exploded the furnace twice while refining alchemy in the morning. They were all in danger outside the alchemy room. If they really stayed and encountered another furnace explosion, wouldn't it be over?
"Hurry up and leave any one behind."
The alchemist urged, turning his back to handle the medicinal materials.
None of the three handymen, including Chen Qingyan, wanted to stay, let alone leave easily.
The alchemist is also a monk, and he is a relatively noble figure among the monks. The few of them did not dare to offend each other.
Time passed slowly, and the three of them were still hesitant.
Seeing the alchemist turn around again, Chen Qingyan sighed secretly and said:
"Let me do it."
The cost of angering the monks was too high, so Chen Qingyan had no choice but to take the initiative.
Zeng Zhaolong was stunned for a moment, with a complicated expression on his face.
He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was pulled away from the alchemy room by another handyman.
At this time, the alchemist had already processed the medicinal materials and was taking out a few long charcoal sticks from a dirty cloth bag, then smashed them into thumb-sized pieces, neatly stacked them under the alchemy furnace, and lit them.
Chen Qingyan stood nearby and saw that the charcoal fire was a soft pink color, not a trace of irritation, and there was no crackle or other popping sound during the burning process.
This is an extremely mild carbon that provides a stable fire and is very suitable for making elixirs.
Chen Qingyan also smelled the mixed aroma of pine nuts and bamboo.
After the alchemist saw that the fire had stabilized, he turned around and gave Chen Qingyan a shovel-like iron tool and ordered:
"Listen to my instructions later. When I say take out three pieces of carbon, you should immediately use this thing to shovel three pieces of carbon out from the bottom of the furnace. Just as many as you say. No more, no less. Do you understand?"
Chen Qingyan nodded, "I know."
"Don't let the carbon shoveled out go out. If I tell you to add carbon, you can put it back into the bottom of the furnace. Do you understand?"
"understood."
The alchemist nodded with satisfaction.
After the explanation, the alchemist opened the stove lid, which was very hot at first glance, and gently lifted it. With the other hand, he quickly poured some of the medicinal materials into powder into the stove, and then immediately poured a bowl of Heihu Lake's The liquid was thrown in.
Card.
The stove lid is closed.
As time passes, the temperature of the alchemy furnace rises rapidly, and the heat wave distorts the surrounding air.
Chen Qingyan did nothing, he was already sweating profusely, but he could only stay near the alchemy furnace, waiting for the alchemist's instructions.
After a while, the alchemy furnace slowly emitted a pungent smell.
"Smoke two pieces of carbon, quick."
Chen Qingyan perked up, swiped his long shovel, and accurately shoveled out two thumb-sized pieces of charcoal fire.
At this time, the alchemist looked solemn, opened the furnace lid again with his ruthless iron hand, and then put the remaining medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace at once.
Card.
The stove lid closes again.
Snap.
The stove lid was closed.
Chen Qingyan's eyes narrowed, knowing that the critical moment had come.
The design of this alchemy furnace is like a pressure cooker. The lid of the furnace is closed, which means that the inside of the alchemy furnace is closed at this time. The higher the temperature, the greater the chance of explosion.
In this crisis, even he couldn't help but become a little nervous.
Time passes slowly.
During this period, Chen Qingyan performed a total of seven carbon extraction actions and two carbon addition actions.
The temperature inside the house is getting higher and higher, and the intense heat wave can be felt from several meters away.
Chen Qingyan had to retreat to the door of the alchemy room. This was the only place where he felt more comfortable. If he had still stayed by the stove, he would probably be half-cooked by now.
The alchemist was sitting cross-legged and meditating under the alchemy furnace, with his eyes closed and the old spirit was there, and he seemed not to be afraid of the heat at all.
About half an hour passed.
Suddenly, a closed hole of the alchemy furnace popped open, and a strong scent of medicinal smoke rose up like a bird.
In an instant, the whole alchemy room was filled with the fragrance of medicine.
Chen Qingyan only took a breath, and suddenly felt comfortable all over, and the previous discomfort was swept away.
His eyes flashed, this furnace of elixir was extraordinary.
The alchemist stood up happily and circled around the alchemy furnace.
Keep saying "ok".
After a while, the medicinal fragrance gradually disappeared.
"It's time to turn on the furnace and shovel out all the carbon."
"good."
Chen Qingyan stepped forward with his head down, staring at the heat wave as he shoveled. Soon, the last piece of charcoal fire under the stove was pulled out and piled on the iron plate.
The alchemist picked up a gourd with the spout facing down.
Tsk~~~
The cool water quickly extinguishes the carbon fire.
Thick steam and smoke rose up, covering the alchemy room like a sauna.
It's hotter.
Chen Qingyan gasped and leaned against the wall, his forehead, neck and back covered with sweat.
The fog was thick and nothing could be seen.
At the last moment, Chen Qingyan did not let down his guard, but instead concentrated as never before.
It exploded when the furnace was turned on. This kind of accident was widely spread among the handymen, so he had to be careful.
After a while, the dense mist of water vapor partially dispersed.
There was still no movement from the alchemy furnace.
Chen Qingyan exhaled a breath, and just as he was about to let go of his anxious heart, suddenly the hair on his body stood up.
A strong crisis emerged from the bottom of his heart, and without any hesitation, he threw himself directly behind a wooden shelf used to store medicinal materials...
tomato
next moment,
Boom——
The loud noise shook the sky.
The entire alchemy room shook.
The piercing sound of tinkling bells erupted intensively.
It was as if someone was smashing the room with an iron object.
Until everything subsided, the alchemist coughed and walked out of the smoke-filled alchemy room, his dirty face full of ecstasy.
"Hahahaha, it's done, I made the "Haoyuan Dan". "
He raised his head and admired the bright white pill held between his thumb and index finger in the noon light.
Suddenly, the alchemist let out a light sigh.
Turn around,
I saw a trembling young man crawling out from under the broken wooden frame.
The young man's ears and eyes were bleeding, and he was holding the iron tool he had used to shovel carbon fire, but now the iron tool was bent and cracked, as if it had been hit hard by something, and a large gap appeared.
It is considered completely scrapped.
"Haha, you are lucky."
The alchemist smiled cheerfully and threw a beautiful porcelain bottle at the young man's feet.
"Thank you."
