During the past half month, Xu Ran has been studying alchemy in this mountain range. The two basic alchemy books that Yao Chen gave Xu Ran were so engrossed that he forgot to eat and sleep.
According to the book, elixir refining has different control over the heat and the refining of various medicinal materials. Whether the heat is too high or too low, it will lead to uneven coloring of the elixir, or the potency of the medicine will be evaporated, affecting the quality.
The more he studied, Xu Ran discovered that alchemy was really a science.
When he first started making elixirs, Xu Ran could not use medicinal materials to make elixirs. Instead, he experimented with fruits from the mountains. At the beginning, the temperature was too high and the fruits were evaporated.
Evaporate into nothingness.
Some unknown grasses were also used for experiments, and the result was that the grasses instantly turned to ashes.
Sometimes Xu Ran suspected that he had been deceived by Yao Chen.
Because according to the introduction in the book, the essence of the alchemist's refining of medicine lies in the fact that when refining medicinal materials, the medicinal materials become liquid in the flame without completely evaporating, fully charring their medicinal power and evaporating useless impurities.
It was also because of reading the alchemy book that Xu Ran felt a little lucky that he had not rashly refined the Perfect Mortal Transformation Pill, otherwise his collection of materials would have been in vain.
.....
During the days when Xu Ran was studying alchemy in the hidden mountains, the news about the suspected emergence of someone 'higher than the Fighting Emperor' in the Xiao family also spread, and this news immediately caused a shock.
Xu Ran's visit to the Xiao family that day caused a great shock, and some of the younger members of the Xiao family saw it.
The elders of the Xiao family wanted to hide the news, but some juniors liked to brag, so they spread the news. However, no one believed it after it was spread, and instead the Xiao family became a joke.
Just kidding, if you, a Xiao family that doesn’t even have a fighting spirit, say that someone stronger than a fighting emperor has emerged, who would believe it?
This 'vibration' is not that vibration.
This is a joke.
The Xiao family did not stand up to explain. After all, the mysterious and powerful man was unattainable and they did not dare to have random relationships.
The joke eventually died out.
....
Another half month passed.
In a certain mountain range, Xu Ran stood under a tree shade. A wisp of purple flame appeared on his fingertips. In the purple flame, there was a drop of crystal green liquid beating.
The strange thing is that the flame is obviously full of high temperature, but the green liquid in the flame is not evaporated immediately.
"I finally succeeded, it wasn't easy," Xu Ran sighed.
After a month, Xu Ran repeated the action of refining medicine over and over again, refining the fruits and vegetables into liquid without being evaporated. Xu Ran tried this action at least a thousand times.
Now it's finally successful.
"You can go out now, find some real medicinal materials to try, and get a recipe to refine the elixir." Xu Ran murmured to himself, and disappeared in a flash.
Refining elixirs is not just about finding some medicinal materials and mixing them together.
Each type of elixir has a necessary recipe. Each type of elixir has a certain number of medicinal materials, year, and dosage to ensure the finished product, quality, etc. of the elixir.
For each elixir, the alchemist used countless kinds of medicinal materials to mix, refine, and fail. After combining and refining, after countless tests, he successfully mixed various elixirs.
Because he had been in the mountains for a month, Xu Ran was a little dirty. As he walked in Wutan City, people around him looked at him with disdain from time to time. It was obvious that Xu Ran was regarded as a beggar.
Xu Randuo looked around intently, looking for a place where he could get the prescription. Soon, a tall building appeared in Xu Ran's sight. This building was extremely tall.
It is located in the crowd center of Wutan City and covers a large area.
There are guards guarding both sides of the two gates, with people coming and going. There are several big characters on them, Temir Auction House.
"This is it," Xu Ran said to herself.
The Temir Auction House is affiliated to the Temir family, one of the three major families of the Gama Empire. The Temir family is powerful and has powerful men at the level of Dou Wang. The family headquarters is in the capital of the Gama Empire.
Also known as Gama Sanctuary.
Under the Temir family, they own weapons catalogs, auction houses, and other shops. They have branches in many large and small cities in the Gama Empire, and their influence is complex.
In Wutan City, there is an auction house owned by the Temir family.
There are many things auctioned in the auction house, including weapons, exercises, elixirs, monster cores, etc. Many rare and rare things can be obtained in the auction house.
So, Xu Ran walked towards Temir Auction.
"Stop, you can't go in." Just when Xu Ran was about to walk inside, he was stopped by two guards guarding the door of the auction house.
"Why can't I go in?" Xu Ran asked, looking at the two guards at the talent level.
The two guards glanced at Xu Ran and said nothing, but there was disdain in their eyes. This was the Temir Auction House, and not a place where even cats and dogs could enter.
Xu Ran glanced at the two of them and continued walking inside.
"Stop, or don't blame me for being rude." When the two guards saw that the 'beggar' was still trying to rush in, they put one hand on the sword at their waist and warned in a cold tone.
"Call your person in charge to come out. What kind of auction house is this? You don't even let people in?" Xu Ran said calmly.
"Just because you want to see our boss," one of the guards sneered.
"I'm giving you one last warning, leave immediately, otherwise don't blame us for being rude," another guard said coldly.
"What happened? It's so noisy." Suddenly, an unhappy voice came from inside the door.
Then, a fat middle-aged man wearing white clothes came out.
"Steward, this beggar has to go in," the guard immediately reported when he saw the middle-aged man.
"beggar"
The middle-aged man was stunned, turned his head, and saw Xu Ran, whose clothes were a little dirty, looking at him calmly, with calm eyes.
For some reason, the middle-aged man looked at Xu Ran, feeling as if he was being stared at by a wild beast. He felt horrified. He was suddenly startled, looked at the two guards and cursed fiercely: "You two have no eyes."
"We are an auction house here and we should treat everyone equally. Who gives you the confidence to look down upon others?"
The two guards were immediately scolded by the middle-aged man and were stunned.
"This gentleman, we have failed to discipline him well, please come in." The middle-aged man bent down and made an inviting gesture.
Xu Ran walked into Temir Auction House calmly.
"Is it an illusion?"
The middle-aged man murmured to himself when he saw Xu Ran entering.
Of course, Temir Auction House is not something you can enter casually. You must at least dress decently. The young man in front of you looked miserable. For some reason, you looked at him and felt fear in your heart.
Moreover, there are many powerful warriors who have weird personalities and look ragged. They may have amazing identities or strengths. You should not just look at people by their appearance.
This is also the reason why the middle-aged man suddenly decided to let Xu Ran in.
