Just after reading the first line of the reply, Master Shui's face became extremely ugly. While his face turned livid, cold sweat began to roll down his forehead!
For some reason, even though Master Shui was angry, frightened, and unwilling, he still had the patience to read this letter, which only had a few sentences, but the meaning was very clear.
When he finished reading the last word of this letter, Master Shui's hands, which were usually extremely stable due to refining medicine, began to tremble. He couldn't even hold the reply letter that he valued so much, and was blown away by a gust of breeze.
Blow away and fall.
When Master Shui looked up again and looked at this exquisite courtyard, the courtyard that used to provide him with comfort, pleasure, and anything he wanted, had now become a prison, a prison that restricted his freedom.
The Ling family, a wealthy family that used to respect him with great respect and respect, has turned into a ferocious beast that can devour him at any time.
The content of this letter, which represents the attitude of the Ling family, is very simple - my Ling family has supported you, Master Shui, for nearly ten years. Every year, a huge amount of silver is given to you. The maids and maids have all the best daily necessities, and they also provide
There are a lot of medicinal materials for you to practice. But what about you, Master Shui, what have you done for my Ling family?
Apart from refining a certain number of elixirs every year, you have not done any of the other things agreed upon, such as training an alchemist for the Ling family. For more than ten years, the talents that the Ling family has sent to you to learn are of great quality.
There are no less than 20 young people, but these people, after wasting countless medicinal materials, are still combined apothecaries, not even half an alchemist.
As for the reason? I believe you, Master Shui, know it, and my Ling family also knows something about it.
But now, you actually want to interfere in my Ling family's family affairs, and you even threaten to leave the Ling family and find another owner without refining elixir? Do you think that my Ling family is a place where you can come and leave whenever you want?
Regardless of whether you can get out of the Ling family gate, even if you get out of the Ling family gate, no matter which house you join, you will be hunted down by my Ling family regardless of the cost!
Therefore, for the sake of Master's safety, Master is asked to stay in the Ling family to refine elixirs for the sake of beauty. However, the number of elixirs handed in every month must be increased by 30%. As long as Master does his job, the Ling family will not miss Master.
No supply, food or goods will be lacking!
For the sake of Master's safety, sixteen additional bodyguards have been sent to protect Master at every turn. In addition, my Ling family has been reorganized in recent days, and I also ask Master not to travel at will, so as not to make things difficult for my Ling family!
Master, please remember the word "duty"!
At the end of the letter were the paintings of the second and third elders of the Ling family, including the bedridden eldest elder, and a blood-red seal from the Ling Elders’ Association!
After staying in the Ling family for so many years, Master Shui understood that with the signatures of the three elders and the seal of the Ling Elders' Association, this letter in the Ling family has become the same as the official language.
After being stunned for a long time, Master Shui's expression turned extremely ugly. The corners of his mouth twitched, and his eyes were full of despair: What is this? If the blackmail fails, you become a prisoner instead? Is it your own fault?
At this time, the sound of neat footsteps came from outside the courtyard, and the young man in gray clothes from before hurriedly went out to check.
A few minutes later, there was an argument outside the door, and then the young man in gray ran in with a swollen cheek and a sad face: "Master, there are guards outside the door who said they were ordered to protect you. I didn't let them in, so he beat me.
If you slap me, you have to do it for me..."
Before the young boy in gray clothes could finish crying, a guard with a stern expression and an evil look on his face strode in, and then said harshly: "According to the order of the elder, I have come to personally protect Master Shui. Please cooperate with me!
"
In the surprised and frightened eyes of the little boy in gray, his former arrogant master suddenly fell down on the wicker chair in the courtyard, nodded dejectedly, and looked at the person who had changed in his eyes.
Got a gray sky...
The former distinguished guest is now a prisoner, I regret it...
A young face jumped into Master Shui's mind, and it was all his fault! Master Shui roared in his mind, and clenched his fists tightly together until his joints turned white...
Holding the handle of the melting stone with his right hand, Ling Dong concentrated on controlling the alchemy formation on the alchemy furnace. His eyes were observing the liquid medicine tumbling in the alchemy furnace through the specially processed transparent crystal on the furnace cover.
Constantly adjusting the furnace temperature through formations.
I saw the three groups of medicinal liquid in the alchemy furnace slowly merging into one under the rolling motion of an invisible big hand, no longer distinguishing between you and me. The peripheral vision of my eyes swept over the two jade pills placed on the left side of my body.
There were cyan powder and yellow pills in the box, but Ling Dong's expression became more and more nervous.
The remaining two herbal essences have different furnace temperature requirements. Under normal circumstances, they should be put into the alchemy furnace for smelting in two times. That is the safest way.
But the problem is that the Gang Qi in Ling Dong's body is not enough. If it is divided into two times and the duration is too long, the Gang Qi in Ling Dong's body will be completely consumed and he will be unable to control the alchemy formation. The result will be a failure.
The mostly completed elixir will fall into the bottom of the furnace and turn into ashes.
Then Ling Dong's only remaining option is to put the two medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace at the same time for fusion. However, Ling Dong is a little worried about whether the Ling family's lowest level alchemy furnace and the basic alchemy formation can complete it.
Such a complicated operation?
But Ling Dong had no choice!
Almost as soon as he concluded that there was not enough Gang Qi in his body, Ling Dong's eyes tightened. The furnace cover slid open under the control of the formation. His left hand was extremely skillful and he picked up two jade boxes with four fingers. He was extremely flexible.
He poured the medicine block and powder inside into the alchemy furnace, and then concentrated on controlling the alchemy formation.
I saw that when the medicinal powder and medicine block fell into the alchemy furnace, it seemed as if someone was holding it up. The green medicine powder was frozen in the sky above the alchemy furnace, but the yellow medicine block suddenly sank, and it was close to the highest temperature of the alchemy furnace.
When it reaches the bottom, it is supported!
Under the extremely high temperature of the furnace and the moisture of the few cold water in the earth veins at the bottom of the furnace, it miraculously did not turn into ashes, but slowly softened, and then softened...
At this time, cold sweat was rolling down his forehead, and his whole body was tense because of nervousness.
At this moment, the liquid in the center of the alchemy furnace, in which the three medicines were refined and fused together, seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, suddenly split in two, sinking and sinking!
Half of it slowly flew towards the green medicine powder above the alchemy furnace, and the other half slowly sank towards the softened yellow medicine block in the lower half of the alchemy furnace. At the same time, it held four portions of the medicine liquid, and Ling Dong's eyes were already wide open.
It's round and the veins on my forehead are starting to pop out!
If Master Shui saw this scene, he would definitely exclaim that it is amazing!
This situation lasted for a few seconds. When the four pills successfully merged into two pills, Ling Ling's nostrils sucked out a long stream of white air!
After this extreme operation, the next thing is relatively simple. Ling Dong manipulates the alchemy formation to perfectly integrate the four groups of liquid medicine in the alchemy furnace, one high and one low, and then drives the two groups of liquid medicine toward the alchemy furnace respectively.
The center moves and the two become one again!
At this time, Ling Dong's pale face also showed a hint of relief. At this point, 70% of the small Gathering Pill has been completed, and the remaining three points of the Yang Pill are basically without any surprises.
Even so, the exhaustion of the Gang Qi in the body still made Ling Ling run around in a hurry. Before the last step of rubbing the elixir was completed, all the Gang Qi in Ling Ling's body was exhausted.
Using the method of urging Qi, Ling Dong squeezed out the last trace of Qi in his body, lifted the strange-shaped medicine cake out of the alchemy furnace, and quickly stretched out his jade spoon to catch it!
While shouting that he was lucky, Ling Dong laughed at himself: This may be the most ugly pill that Ling Dong has ever made!
Gao Yuan, who was nervously waiting for the results, came up, carefully wiped Ling Dong's sweat, handed Ling Dong a bowl of water, and then asked: "Master, is this the elixir? Why do I look like this?"
