Master Kang couldn't find the reason, so he had no choice but to clean out the discarded materials from the alchemy furnace, tidy it up and start refining the elixir again.
In another alchemy room, Tian Buhui received a Dudu report with a sinister smile on his face.
"Pa~"
He slapped himself in the face and cursed: "Damn! Why are you taking the villain route?"
…
Twenty days have passed and the two of them have been in the alchemy room for a month.
On this day, Master Kang was still concentrating on refining the elixir.
Because of the last accident, he was extra careful. In the past ten days, he paid attention to his surroundings without affecting his alchemy.
But no abnormality was found, but a lot of spiritual power was wasted.
Twenty days later, we will enter the critical elixir fusion period, during which there is no room for distraction.
After observing for more than ten days, he only thought that the last time was an accidental spiritual explosion. At this time, he no longer thought about it and put all his consciousness into the alchemy furnace again.
Two days later, another metal bean spread its wings on the hem of his clothes and flew towards the alchemy furnace.
"Bang~"
This time he was quite surprised. There was no room for error in the fusion of the elixir. He was even more attentive than last time.
Suddenly, his mind was shaken, his consciousness became unstable, and he failed to control the intensity of the fusion.
The liquid medicine that originally needed to be fused slowly rushed together in an instant.
Just listen to the sound of "sizzling~" liquid being burned by high temperature in the alchemy furnace.
It was like the miserable howl the medicinal liquid made when it turned into ashes.
Master Kang saw the situation in the alchemy furnace and was instantly furious.
This must not be a coincidence. An extremely rare situation like spiritual explosion cannot happen to me twice in a row.
Divine consciousness swept through the entire alchemy room like a tide, and the culprit was bound to be found.
After searching several times, nothing suspicious was found.
"Um?"
Suddenly, he noticed that there seemed to be more metal debris on the ground than before.
As soon as he grabbed it with his hand, a small piece of metal shard was held in his palm.
Observing carefully, this thing does not have any spiritual power fluctuations, nor has it been refined by any refining method. It is just some unknown mortal iron.
He suspected that the explosion might be related to this thing, but he didn't know exactly what happened.
Now, two of the three alchemy materials have been destroyed. Before the cause of the explosion is found, he does not want to do it again. If there is another explosion, it will be considered a complete failure this time.
If that boy succeeds, wouldn't his old face be completely disgraced?
After walking out of the alchemy room, he found Lu Kaixuan in the front hall and handed the metal scraps to him for inspection.
Lu Kaixuan was confused as he held the metal scraps. This was obviously ordinary iron.
Why did Master Kang say that the explosion that occurred during the alchemy and the destruction of two pots of elixirs were related to it?
On the surface, he was analyzing the reasons, but in his heart, he was thinking: "Is it possible that Master Kang is unable to refine the elixir and is doing this because he wants to shirk responsibility?"
"But even so, you have to find a better reason. It would be a bit too disrespectful to fool me with something like this, right?"
Tian Buhui was completely unaware of the second explosion and just told Dudu to cause trouble for the old guy in advance.
He also entered the critical period of alchemy, and tested the main data in the first ten days.
After twenty days of refining, the medicine has entered the fusion stage, and it will take another ten days to complete.
Master Kang was out for two days, and neither he nor Lu Kaixuan could analyze the reason.
The elixir must continue to be refined, otherwise it would be directly equivalent to admitting defeat, if that kid comes out and finds out.
With his character, he would definitely be sarcastic towards himself.
Alchemists still have to rely on their strength to speak. If they can't refine the elixir, it's useless to say anything.
Do you still want your old face by then?
Just when he entered the alchemy room again, he had just been refining for six days.
Suddenly, in his consciousness, he discovered that there was a foreign object that looked like a metal bean on the hem of his clothes, and it spread its wings and flew towards the alchemy furnace.
Immediately, Master Kang was furious. Sure enough, someone was doing something!
He reached out and grabbed this thing in his hand, just when he wanted to check what it was.
"Bang~"
The thing exploded in his hands.
It wasn't very powerful. With his Jindan stage strength, he didn't even explode the skin of his palm, leaving only some black ash and metal debris.
But just because of this, the elixir being refined in the alchemy furnace was not controlled well, and all of it was burned under the elixir fire.
Although they are all regeneration pills and auxiliary medicines that have been refined in advance, without these, it is impossible to continue refining them. You have to go out to replenish them before you can continue.
He came to the front hall angrily, wanting to find out what happened to Lu Kaixuan, what exploded, and to get the materials together so that he could continue to refine the medicine.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in the front hall, he saw Lu Kaixuan and Tian Buhui speaking with an apologetic smile on his face.
On the table between them was a jade bottle containing elixirs.
After Master Kang saw it, his face became even more ugly. He knew very well what it was, and this boy must have successfully refined it.
He was right. Tian Buhui had successfully refined it, and he was "called" by Dudu.
"Oh! What a coincidence! I just successfully refined it, Master Kang has also successfully refined it?" Tian Buhui asked in a surprised tone, as if he really thought he had refined it.
Master Kang's face turned even darker when he heard this. He ignored him, walked up to Lu Kaixuan, opened his palm and showed him what was inside.
He said angrily: "I saw it this time. It was this thing that caused trouble and caused my alchemy to fail!"
Lu Kaixuan looked carefully and felt a little unhappy about the thing from last time. He said secretly: "I won't blame you if you can't refine it. Why use this kind of thing to fool me!"
On the surface, she doesn't want to offend him. If it doesn't work this time, maybe she will find him somewhere next time.
He smiled and said, "It's okay. This thing caused trouble this time. Master Kang failed to refine it successfully. It's not Master Kang's fault. I will still pay for the refining cost!"
"Yes, yes! It's not your fault, the refining fee will still be charged!"
Tian Buhui also looked at the thing in his palm and said it was not his fault, but everyone could hear the sarcasm in his words.
Especially the last sentence, the refining fee will still be charged, which is a slap in Master Kang’s face.
Master Kang's face suddenly turned from black to red, and he roared angrily: "Do you think I want to defraud you of the spiritual stones? This thing is indeed causing trouble!"
"I didn't say you cheated on spirit stones!" Tian Buhui spread his hands and said as if it had nothing to do with him, "You said that yourself!"
"You!" Master Kang was so angry that he trembled all over and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
In the end, it was Lu Kaixuan who came forward to comfort him, saying that he had never doubted Master Kang and that he would need more help from him in the future.
Master Kang left, looking a little embarrassed. Of course, he would certainly confiscate the refining fee.
Watching his leaving figure, Tian Buhui said heartily: "You little boy, you made me waste my spiritual stones. You are lucky if I don't make you angry to death this time!"
