Ye Feng walked to the alchemy furnace and skillfully lit a fire and preheated it.
Then, he selected several medicinal materials from the pile of medicinal materials and put them into the pill furnace one by one according to the prescription in his mind.
His movements were smooth and smooth, without any jerkiness.
It’s like the elixir has been refined countless times.
In the alchemy furnace, the medicinal materials gradually merged, exuding bursts of strong medicinal fragrance.
Ye Feng concentrated on controlling the fire and did not dare to be distracted at all.
Alchemy is an extremely delicate task. If there is a slight mistake, all previous efforts will be wasted.
Suddenly, there was a slight vibration in the alchemy furnace.
A stronger medicinal fragrance assaulted my nostrils.
"It's done!"
A flash of excitement flashed in Ye Feng's eyes.
He carefully adjusted the heat, waiting for the final elixir.
After a while, the vibrations in the alchemy furnace gradually subsided.
The medicinal fragrance gradually dissipated.
Ye Feng took a deep breath and slowly opened the alchemy furnace.
A faint halo of pills rose from the furnace.
At the bottom of the alchemy furnace, two round and plump elixirs lay quietly.
"Successful!"
Ye Feng took out the elixir and looked at it carefully.
The surface of the elixir is as smooth as jade, exuding a light luster.
A refreshing medicinal fragrance penetrates the nostrils, refreshing people.
"Mid-grade Foundation-Building Pills! Not bad!"
I refined two mid-grade Foundation-Building Pills at once!
The Foundation Building Pill is in the Tianji Sect, and only the inner disciples are eligible to enjoy it.
"Ni Qingshui and Lin Chen helped me a lot, let's reward them both."
Ye Feng put the Foundation Establishment Pill in a medicine bottle and planned to give it to them both.
"Go to sleep." He stretched.
......
Tianji Sect, inner sect.
The room was filled with incense.
Qing Xuanzi stroked his beard and his eyes fell on Zhu He in front of him, full of approval.
"He'er, you are talented and intelligent, and your alchemy skills are advancing rapidly. I am very pleased to be my teacher."
Zhu He bowed, his eyebrows full of pride.
"Thank you for the compliment, Master!"
Qing Xuanzi nodded slightly.
"With your current progress, you will definitely be promoted to an intermediate alchemist within a few years."
He paused, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.
"If you can study hard, given time, you can become a high-level alchemist."
When Zhu He heard this, he was ecstatic in his heart and the smile on his face became even brighter.
"Disciples must do their best to live up to Master's high expectations!"
He clasped his hands in fists and bowed deeply.
"This disciple must study alchemy assiduously and become a high-level alchemist as soon as possible to bring glory to the master!"
Qing Xuanzi nodded with satisfaction, with relief in his eyes.
"Well, good, you are indeed my most proud disciple."
In the room, the sun shines through the window lattice, casting mottled light and shadow.
Zhu He said goodbye to Qing Xuanzi and walked out of the room.
The spring breeze blew across his face, making him feel refreshed and his steps brisk.
Walking on the bluestone path, there are lush flowers and plants on both sides, and the air is filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.
I turned a corner and bumped into someone.
It is Lin Chen.
Zhu He raised his eyebrows, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
"Lin Chen, where is the spiritual grass I want?"
There was a questioning tone in his tone.
Lin Chen lowered his head and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "I...I didn't find..."
Zhu He's face instantly darkened, as if the sky was covered with dark clouds and a violent storm was about to fall in an instant.
"Trash!"
He yelled angrily, and his voice echoed in Lin Chen's ears like thunder.
"If you can't even handle this little thing, what use do you have?!"
Lin Chen trembled and buried his head lower.
As if to retract oneself into the cracks in the ground.
A cold glint flashed in Zhu He's eyes.
He took a step closer and looked down at Lin Chen condescendingly.
"Do you know the consequences of delaying my alchemy?"
His tone was cold, and every word was like a sharp knife, stabbing Lin Chen fiercely.
Lin Chen’s lips trembled, but he did not dare to make any sound.
Zhu He snorted coldly.
He stretched out his hand, grabbed Lin Chen's collar, and lifted him up.
Lin Chen’s feet were off the ground and his body was hanging in the air. His face turned red and it became difficult to breathe.
"Trash, I will teach you a lesson today!"
Zhu He's eyes were full of sternness.
He suddenly shook his hand and threw Lin Chen to the ground.
With a "bang" sound, Lin Chen hit the hard bluestone board hard.
A sharp pain hit him, and he felt like his bones were falling apart.
Lin Chen curled up and did not dare to resist.
Zhu He had no intention of stopping.
He raised his foot and stepped hard on Lin Chen's chest.
"Tell me, did you do it on purpose?"
There was more pressure under his feet, and Lin Chen could hardly breathe.
He shook his head desperately, his eyes filled with fear.
"No...not..."
He struggled to spit out a few words.
Zhu He sneered.
"You still dare to quibble?"
He exerted force on his feet again, and Lin Chen's face instantly turned pale.
A mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, dyeing the shirt on his chest red.
The surrounding air seemed to have solidified, making people breathless.
Lin Chen closed his eyes tightly, feeling the severe pain in his chest, and his body was shaking constantly.
He gritted his teeth to prevent himself from making a sound.
Zhu He looked at Lin Chen struggling in pain at his feet, with a look of pleasure on his face.
"Trash should have the consciousness of trash!"
He crushed it hard several times before taking his foot back.
Lin Chen collapsed on the ground, like a puddle of mud, unable to move.
He was breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling violently.
Zhu He straightened his robes, as if nothing had happened just now.
He glanced contemptuously at Lin Chen on the ground.
"Next time you dare to delay my affairs, you will not be lenient!"
After saying that, he walked away.
The sun was still bright, but when it shone on Lin Chen, he couldn't feel the slightest warmth.
He clenched his fists tightly and dug his nails into his palms.
The pain woke him up.
Lin Chen slowly got up from the ground.
Every move would pull at the wound, causing a burst of heartbreaking pain.
He stood up staggeringly and walked towards the alchemy room step by step.
The sunlight stretched his shadow very long.
Alchemy room.
This is a large stone chamber, with an area of dozens of feet.
The surrounding walls are inlaid with rows of wooden shelves, filled with various bottles and jars, which contain spiritual herbs of various colors and exude a strong medicinal fragrance.
The air is filled with light smoke, which is the medicinal gas produced during alchemy.
In the center of the stone chamber, there is an alchemy furnace, which is as tall as a person. It is completely dark and has ancient patterns carved on its surface. There is a blazing flame burning at the bottom of the furnace, making a "whooshing" sound.
Several ordinary alchemy disciples wearing white robes are busy around the alchemy furnace. Some are adding medicinal materials, some are controlling the heat, and some are observing the changes in the alchemy furnace. They all look focused and move skillfully.
"Hey, that waste, come here and clean up these medicine residues!"
Suddenly, a sharp voice came, breaking the tranquility of the elixir room.
Ye Feng raised his head and followed the sound.
I saw a young man wearing a white Taoist robe, tall and thin, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, looking at him with disdain.
"Call me?"
Ye Feng pointed to his nose and asked casually.
