Chapter 141 Alchemy Competition (Happy New Year)
Manager Lu frowned slightly after hearing Han Li's words, but soon returned to nature.
"Shopkeeper Lu can rest assured that all the costs required for the competition will be borne by him." Han Li added.
"Since my seniors have said that, our Qianyaozhai will naturally not be disappointed with my seniors, please." Manager Lu said no longer hesitated after hearing this.
After saying that, he took a step forward, walked out of the door, took Han Li downstairs, went out from the back hall on the first floor, and walked along a veranda toward the backyard.
There is a circular arch deep in the backyard, which separates the front yard.
Before he could reach the arch, Han Li felt a transparent light curtain floating in the void inside the door, and obvious space fluctuations came from it, as if it was a teleportation array.
When he got closer, Manager Lu stopped and turned to Han Li and said, "Senior, wait for a moment, I'll tell you first."
After saying that, he flipped his hand and took out a purple token, swayed towards the void in the direction of the arch, and a bright light suddenly lit up inside the door.
With a big step, he walked into the door opening and then disappeared.
After Han Li looked at the surrounding environment for a moment, he saw the light rising again in the door opening, and the voice of Manager Lu came from it:
"Senior, please come in."
When Han Li heard the sound, he stepped into the door opening.
As soon as he entered it, he felt a heat all over his body and smelled a rich and mixed smell of spiritual medicine in his nose.
After he looked around, he found that they seemed to be in a hall similar to the underground palace, with several spacious alleyways leading to all directions.
On the walls on both sides of the lane are bronze doors about meter high, with faint flames coming from it.
Before Han Li could see the surrounding environment clearly, Manager Lu took him into one of the alleys and came to a spacious living room.
In the living room, a red old man wearing a purple and black short shirt and a medium figure was sitting. He held a tea bowl with one hand and covered the tea leaves with the other hand.
Han Li glanced over and saw that this person had a strong aura, and he was a Mahayana cultivator.
Seeing the two of them coming in, the old man red put down the tea bowl and stood up slowly.
Seeing this, Manager Lu introduced to Han Li:
"Senior, this is the masters of our Qianyaozhai. He is a master of alchemy at the level of human level. He promised to come and do this test for you."
"Then thank you Masters." Han Li said to him and said.
The old man Chi knew that Han Li's cultivation was not weaker than him, so he did not dare to neglect him. He gave a slight bow and said:
"Since my fellow Taoist wants to test my level of alchemy, I will refine a Huayang Pill to restore magic power with me. By comparing the quality of the elixir, you can determine the level of the fellow Taoist."
"Huayang Pill? I don't know the composition of this elixir. I don't know if Guizhai can be sold?" Han Li frowned slightly and asked.
"oh?"
Old Man Chi was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Han Li would not even know about this pill, and he couldn't help but look down on him a little.
"It's not necessary to buy it. Although Huayang Pill is of high quality among human-level elixirs, its elixir recipes are widely circulated in nearby waters and can be obtained in many places. It's not worth much, so I'll give it to fellow Taoists."
After the old man said that, he shook his wrist and a white jade slip flew lightly to Han Li.
Han Li took the spiritual sense and sighed in his heart.
This pill recipe is worthless, but all the medicinal materials used in this recipe are expensive, and he has to pay to buy two copies, which is really a considerable expense.
Then, the old man Chi began to explain some precautions for refining Huayang Pills in a calm and unpretentious manner.
While listening carefully, Han Li nodded slightly and silently recorded it all. At the same time, he began to think about the steps and timing of adding spiritual medicine based on past experience.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the two of them took the storage bags that had been prepared from Manager Lu, containing the spiritual medicines needed to refine Huayang Pill, and each walked into an alchemy room.
With a clanging sound, the thick bronze door closed.
Han Li looked at the indoor environment and found that the alchemy room here was indeed a little different from what he had seen in the spiritual world.
There is almost no furnishings in the room, only a one-person-high copper alchemy furnace is placed in the center. There is no fire pit on the ground, and there is no runes that cause fire on the furnace body.
The surrounding walls and ground are carved with complex runes, which seem to be some kind of ban that can condense and block the indoor spiritual energy.
After only a moment of watching, he calmed down and prepared to start refining the alchemy.
He raised his palm and snapped his fingers with a "bang", and a silver flame flew into the alchemy furnace like a bird.
A "huh" sound.
A raging silver flame suddenly rose in the alchemy furnace.
After about a cup of tea, Han Li began to add spiritual medicines to the elixir after the temperature in the elixir rose to high enough.
As spiritual medicines flew into the furnace, a strange fragrance of medicine began to scent up in the entire alchemy room.
After about an hour, a "puff" sound came from the elixir furnace. Han Li saw a ball of lilac mist rising from the gap on the top of the elixir furnace, gathering above the elixir furnace, condensed but not dispersed, which was very strange.
According to what the old man said before, it is time to add Huayun Grass to it.
But when Han Li held the pale white spirit herb in his hand, he hesitated a little.
From the human world to the spiritual world, he had made countless elixirs. All the spiritual medicinal materials were summarized as "the king, minister, assistant, and envoy", among which the king was the main medicine, the minister was the auxiliary medicine, the assistant was the second-class auxiliary medicine, and the envoy was the harmonization medicine.
This Huayun Grass is not a unique spiritual medicine in the fairy world. He used it when he was in the spiritual world. He knew that this medicine is peaceful and is often used as a medicine to harmonize the properties of various medicines. It is naturally no exception in this Huayang Pill.
At this time, purple mist had just risen in the alchemy furnace, indicating that the medicinal properties of the previous medicines had just begun to dissipate and had not yet reached the point where it needed to be harmonized. It was definitely not the best time to put the Huayun Grass in this time, so he was hesitant.
But soon, he made a decision to stick to his opinion.
After another half an hour, when the purple mist in the alchemy furnace changed from light to thick, Han Li immediately raised the furnace cover and added the Huayun Grass to it.
As the strong fragrance of medicine came to his nose, a hint of joy appeared in Han Li's eyes.
At this time, a light suddenly appeared on the surrounding walls, and the array patterns engraved on them actually started to run.
A small vortex suddenly formed in the entire alchemy room, wrapped in the spiritual power radiated from the elixir and gathered towards the alchemy furnace.
...
Two hours later, the old man Chi had already walked out of the alchemy room, stood with Manager Lu, and waited outside Han Li's alchemy room.
After about a quarter of an hour, the bronze door on Han Li's side slowly opened, and he walked out with a white porcelain bottle in his hand.
Seeing this, Manager Lu said with a smile:
"It seems that the senior has already successfully refined it, congratulations."
"I don't know the grade yet, so I'll ask Manager Lu and Master Zhu to taste it on my behalf." Han Li handed over the porcelain bottle and said.
Manager Lu took it and pulled out the bottle plug. A strong fragrance of medicine immediately escaped from it.
After the old man Chi smelled it, his expression changed slightly. He couldn't help but come to Manager Lu and looked at the pills made by Han Li.
At this time, in the left and right hands of Manager Lu, there were three Huayang pills refined by the two of them. The appearance did not look much different, but Han Li's pills seemed to be smaller.
Han Li turned his gaze to the old man Chi. Just as he was about to ask, he saw him sigh silently and turned around and left.
Seeing this, Manager Lu did not stop him. After his back disappeared at the end of the alley, he said to Han Li with a slightly strange expression:
"Senior, don't blame me, these masters... have been a little hit."
When Han Li heard this, he understood what he meant. He smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Then please ask Manager Lu to evaluate it."
"If Zhenruo has never been exposed to high-level elixirs in the Immortal Realm before, then he is really a good talent for alchemy. His control over the fire is extremely accurate. He can remove all the impurities in these three Huayang pills, but it does not damage the medicine at all... This is even more quality than the elixirs refined by the masters." Although Manager Lu is not good at alchemy, he seems to have some research on the elixirs and said immediately.
"I wonder from this point of view, what level should I be among the alchemists in the fairy world?" Han Li smiled slightly and asked.
"Although only Huayang Pill was refined, judging from the quality of this pill, the seniors are already at the level of human-level alchemist." Manager Lu said solemnly.
After hearing this, Han Li nodded thoughtfully.
In fact, although I have not yet used all my strength to refine elixirs of this level, the complexity and difficulty of refining this medicine are no longer inferior to those top-level elixirs in the spiritual world.
If we calculate based on this calculation, the alchemy achievements that I once proud of would probably be equivalent to an alchemist such as the Earth-level B in the fairy world.
"In fact, the current alchemy attainments of the previous generation may not be unable to become a ground-level alchemist in the future." Manager Lu couldn't help but feel moved and said with a little flattering look when he saw that Han Li did not show any excitement.
"Haha, then let's borrow the auspicious words of fellow Daoist Lu." Han Li responded like this, and immediately made up his mind.
In the future, he will definitely become a Tiandan Master. In this way, as long as he finds a suitable Daodan recipe, he can refine the mysterious crystals produced in the small bottle into Daodan.
After all, it is much less difficult to obtain the extraordinary laws and spiritual materials in the future.
"I wonder if Senior is planning to live in this Black Wind City for a long time, or just stay for the time being?" Manager Lu hesitated for a moment and asked.
When Han Li heard this, his brows frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Manager Lu quickly explained:
"Senior, don't misunderstand me. I just want to invite me to join our Qianyaozhai and be an alchemist. I believe that the level of alchemy for the predecessors will soon become a higher worshiper second only to Master Hao, then..."
Han Li waved his hand, interrupted his words, and said, "I'll just stay here for the time being. I won't be able to stay for a long time. I can only appreciate the kindness of Taoism."
Seeing that his expression was not as fake, Manager Lu had to sigh a few times and gave up.
Then Han Li bought some Wangyuan Pills, and after paying the cost of refining Huayang Pills, he stopped leaving and said goodbye.
Chapter completed!
