With a loud noise, birds and beasts dispersed in the deep forest shrouded by spiritual power, and the originally silent mountain behind Danfeng began to become lively.
"Who the hell threw the explosive pill?! I was so scared that I shook my hand and scrapped one of the materials!"
"No way, this kind of flammable and explosive elixir is prohibited from being refined within the sect. If you are discovered, you will be punished with a major demerit!"
…
Many Tianyan Sect disciples gathered at the door of a certain alchemy room and whispered, one of them suddenly said in surprise.
"This seems to be Chu Ming's alchemy room, right?"
"That sixteen-year-old third-grade alchemist? Sure enough, geniuses are always different. Refining an elixir is like overcoming a calamity!"
At this time, a Danfeng steward came to disperse the crowd watching the excitement and hurriedly kicked Chu Ming's alchemy room open.
"what happened?"
With a loud roar, black smoke billowed out in an instant.
The steward frowned, and after waving his sleeves to disperse the thick smoke, he saw Chu Ming, covered in black and gray, standing in the center of the room, looking at the pill in his hand in a daze.
Upon hearing the question, he seemed to come out of his dazed state, turned his head, and smiled sheepishly.
"Manager Chen, are you here? Hehe, it's nothing serious. I just didn't control the heat properly when refining the elixir, and the elixir furnace exploded..."
"Exploded?"
Glancing at the broken ground, Manager Chen looked around and found that the blackened walls inside the room were covered with various scratches and were in a mess.
If it weren't for the special building materials of this alchemy room, the explosion just now might have destroyed the entire house.
"As long as everything is fine, please pay attention next time."
After a few more instructions, Manager Chen made a silent calculation, took out a pen and paper to write, then tore it off and handed it to Chu Ming.
"This is the restoration cost of the alchemy room. Remember to come to the Holy Alchemy Hall to hand over the spirit stone within three days. Someone will help you repair it then."
"Do you still have to pay?"
Looking at Chu Ming's surprised expression, Manager Chen looked indifferent, as if he had long been accustomed to this.
"The alchemy room is an asset of the sect, so damage will naturally require compensation."
"Of course, you can also choose not to pay and continue to use this dilapidated alchemy room to make alchemy. But I would like to remind you that once the house collapses, the cost of reconstruction will be much more expensive than restoration."
"No, no, I've already exploded once, how could I explode again?"
Chu Ming said confidently, and Manager Chen didn't say much when he saw this. He took back the note and patted his shoulder lightly.
"Xiao Chu, we have known each other for a long time. I have to give you some life advice."
"'If you want to do something well, you must first sharpen your tools.' With your alchemy talent, it would be a waste not to use a high-quality alchemy furnace!"
"What a coincidence, you say. My relatives happen to be in Bailian Peak. The ex-factory price of the third-level alchemy furnace is only 800 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones. I'm a young man who can't be bullied... Hey, hey, why are you pushing me!"
"Thank you, Manager Chen, for your kindness. You can go ahead and do your work. I will consider it."
Chu Ming smiled and asked Manager Chen to leave the alchemy room, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't bother to clean up the room and hurriedly spread out his right palm, staring at the Zhen Zi Dan lying quietly in his palm.
The whole body is crystal clear amber, with black lines on the surface to outline a coherent martial arts posture. The four pill lines are like a dragon's body, faintly exuding astonishing spiritual power fluctuations.
"Why are there four pill lines?"
Chu Ming couldn't help but feel a little confused. He squeezed it gently with both hands and found that it was as hard as a plump and round pearl, and he could feel an inexplicable connection with it.
It seems that because of the existence of the soul, I can convey a trace of my thoughts to it?
Chu Ming released his spiritual consciousness and tried to convey the command "Show me yourself" to Zhenzidan.
After all, this elixir was an experimental product and he did not dare to take it easily.
Besides, it's so hard that if you bite it, half of your teeth will fall off.
After a while, the light yellow fluorescence rippled slightly on the surface of the elixir, and a loud roar suddenly sounded.
Subsequently, rich spiritual power began to disperse from its interior, slowly condensing in the sky and turning into a familiar figure.
"This is……"
Chu Ming's eyes widened in surprise, and he saw that this figure was performing a Wing Chun attack fluently, and in the end he even performed a standard fist-holding salute.
"handsome!"
Chu Ming couldn't help but applaud.
Perhaps because he felt the praise in his heart, the figure seemed a little proud, and immediately performed another set of unknown powerful kicks, and the stronger power brought about bursts of sonic booms.
This skill, this level of spiritual power is at least comparable to the physical cultivation of the seventh or eighth level of Qi refining!
It seems that I have another life-saving trump card.
The corners of Chu Ming's mouth were raised in a huge arc. However, when the figure kicked the wall excitedly for the last time, the smile on his face gradually stiffened.
…
"boom!"
The violent collapse sound made the originally silent mountain behind Danfeng become lively for the second time.
"Who the hell is throwing out the Explosive Pills again?! I already scrapped two of them... Hey, why did that house collapse?"
"The alchemy room collapsed? Is it true? Can't this thing withstand a full blow from an eighth-level Qi refining monk?"
"You are cutting corners. Do you really think that all the spiritual stones sent to the Holy Alchemy Hall by the sect were used to improve the alchemy environment for us? They were probably given to us by that elder again..."
"Shh!"
When everyone saw Steward Danfeng coming, they hurriedly pretended to be unaware and dispersed.
Looking at the ruins in front of him and Chu Ming standing in the center, Manager Chen blew his beard and glared, and couldn't help but roar.
"Chu Ming! Didn't you just say yes?! I haven't warmed up my chair yet and you're causing trouble for me again!"
"Uh... accident, purely accidental!"
Chu Ming patted the dust on his body and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Well, Manager Chen, what do you think we should do?"
"What should I do? Pay money!"
Manager Chen stretched out his index finger with a cold and unselfish expression.
"Although I don't know how you, who is at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm, collapsed the alchemy room, you still have to pay compensation. You can't lose a cent of the 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones."
"Can I pay on credit?"
Thinking of the miserable situation of his own family, Chu Ming couldn't help but feel helpless.
"Manager Chen, I don't have that many spiritual stones on me at the moment, why don't you remember them on my master's head first?"
"Your master?"
As if he had thought of something, Manager Chen's whole body was agitated, and there was deep fear in his eyes.
"Uh... Okay, I'll apply to the higher-ups for you."
"Then thank you, Manager Chen!"
Chu Ming clasped his fists and expressed gratitude, looking at his leaving back and letting out a long sigh.
Before I even start making money, I have to bear a debt of 10,000 yuan.
"It's all your fault, you know!?"
After expressing an indignation at the Zhen Zi Dan in its hand, it seemed to have noticed Chu Ming's complaint. It purred a little aggrievedly and rubbed the palm of its hand in a flattering manner like a kitten.
This little guy is quite intelligent.
It feels almost like a spiritual beast.
While Chu Ming was amazed, an inexplicable idea suddenly came to his mind.
Since elixirs have combat effectiveness, it seems that taking the path of elixir cultivation is a good choice in the future?
