Chapter 6 Xiang Lai

"Just wait for the shit!"

Lu Chen said back, then calmed down and focused on refining the elixir.

Nine steps of refining the elixir: warming the furnace, selecting materials, refining, liquefying, fusing, sealing the furnace, condensing the elixir, opening the furnace, and collecting the elixir.

Lu Chen had already done the first step.

But Lu Chen did not follow the strict steps for the second step, so he was ridiculed.

Entering the furnace and refining are actually the same procedure, which means purifying each medicinal material separately, removing impurities, and then taking it out and placing it.

This procedure is to refine all the medicinal materials one by one, which is very tedious and time-consuming.

Lu Chen did the opposite and poured all the medicinal materials into it. It seemed to save the tediousness and time-consuming, but how could the refining step be carried out?

Unified refining, even the ninth-level alchemist could not do it, how could Lu Chen do it?

At this time, in the eyes of Zhou Hong and other alchemists, Lu Chen was not even as good as the lowest-level alchemist apprentice, and was simply refining the elixir blindly.

Lu Chen pushed the fire to the maximum and continued to refine the pill, not caring about the contemptuous eyes around him.

In his memory of the alchemy, there is the highest level of alchemy, how can these people understand it?

A quarter of an hour later, the furnace cover shook.

Lu Chen opened the furnace cover, and the strong smell of medicine spread everywhere, and the impurities of the extracted medicinal materials were also released at the same time.

Under the mocking eyes of everyone, Lu Chen quickly covered the furnace and proceeded to the next step.

Not long after, a faint sound of flowing water came from the furnace, and the medicinal materials were successfully liquefied.

After another incense stick of time, the furnace began to vibrate, and the amplitude became larger and larger, as if it would explode in the next moment.

"Ha, is the furnace going to explode?"

"It's normal for the furnace to explode if the fire is not well controlled."

"He didn't control the fire at all, it would be strange if the furnace didn't explode."

A series of sneers rang out.

Lu Chen had reached the stage of fusion, and this stage was most concerned with controlling the fire. If the fire was not well controlled, the furnace would explode most easily, but Lu Chen just kept urging the fire of the pill, as if he did not know how to control the fire.

Therefore, no one around him was optimistic about Lu Chen, and they all thought that Lu Chen was about to fail.

Especially Zhou Hong, who smiled very brightly, waiting to see the exciting moment when Lu Chen exploded the furnace.

"Seal the furnace!"

Lu Chen suddenly stretched out his left hand, slapped the furnace cover, and pressed it tightly.

Then, his soul power turned and spread throughout the pill furnace, instantly suppressing the violent pill furnace.

Bang!

A crisp explosion sounded from the pill furnace.

"This is the sound of condensing the pill!"

"I thought the furnace was going to explode, but I didn't expect that he actually condensed the pill."

"Lu Chen didn't learn the alchemy technique in the alchemy hall? Where did he learn the alchemy technique?"

Incredible voices rang out one after another.

Everyone around was shocked.

There are three thousand great ways, but only the way of alchemy is high.

The path of alchemy is difficult, and alchemists are rare. And elixirs are indispensable auxiliary items for warriors.

Therefore, anyone who practices alchemy is respected by warriors.

If Lu Chen is an alchemist, then his status in Shuangmu City will only be high, not low.

But at this moment, Zhou Hong's voice was neither positive nor negative.

"He made a mistake in the step of selecting materials. One step wrong, all steps wrong. Even if the elixir is condensed, what's the use? The elixir is divided into elixir and waste elixir. What he made must be waste elixir."

When everyone heard this, they showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

"Open the furnace, and see if you can make a pile of shit?"

Zhou Hong was extremely arrogant and sarcastic. He wished that Lu Chen would make a fool of himself in public and become the laughing stock of Shuangmu City from then on.

"Open the furnace!"

Lu Chen casually stretched out his hand and opened the furnace directly.

In fact, there are techniques for opening the furnace and collecting the elixir, otherwise it will affect the quality of the elixir.

However, since he was refining low-level pills, Lu Chen was too lazy to be so particular.

The pill furnace was opened, and a smell of burnt medicine diffused out.

In the pill furnace, there was no pill, only a pile of black waste.

"Failed!"

"Haha, I really refined a pile of shit."

"What the hell did you refine? If you don't know how to refine pills, don't brag. Is it fun to swell your face and pretend to be rich?"

Everyone shook their heads and looked at Lu Chen with contempt.

"Lu Chen pretended to be a pill cultivator and offended the way of pill cultivation. He is guilty of a heinous crime!"

Zhou Hong snorted coldly and waved his hand, "Come on, catch Lu Chen, break his hands, and throw him out of the hall."

Although he didn't know where Lu Chen's cultivation came from, Zhou Hong felt that if Lu Chen fell into his hands, he should not let him go easily. He would destroy Lu Chen again so that Lu Chen would never have a chance to turn over and no longer have the possibility of threatening the Zhou family.

"Wait a minute, who said I didn't refine a pill?"

Lu Chen laughed, stretched out his hand, pushed aside the pile of waste, and revealed a plump yellow pill.

Instantly, the entire alchemy hall was quiet.

Everyone opened their eyes wide, feeling slapped in the face.

No one expected that there was a pill buried in the pile of waste.

Moreover, the quality was not bad, it was actually a mid-grade body-refining pill.

"Um, Master Zhou, right? Come on, come on, you can check whether this pill is real or not."

Lu Chen pointed at Zhou Hong, then at the pill in the furnace, and said with a smile.

"No need, the pill is real."

Zhou Hong's face flushed, and he shook his head quickly.

Are you kidding? Even those customers can tell at a glance that it is a finished pill, how can he not see it?

If he, a high-level alchemist, still has to go to check, does he still have any shame?

"Then, what about the awakening dragon grass?"

Lu Chen asked.

In front of everyone, how dare Zhou Hong break his promise?

Zhou Hong immediately ordered someone to bring a plant of awakening dragon grass and hand it to Lu Chen.

"You can go."

Zhou Hong waved his hand, his face gloomy, and the feeling of being slapped in the face was extremely unpleasant.

"Also, you just said"

Lu Chen paused, and a playful look appeared at the corner of his mouth, "If I refine a finished pill, you will eat shit on the spot!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence in the alchemy hall!

Zhou Hong was stunned on the spot, extremely embarrassed.

"Come on!"

Lu Chen stretched out his big hand and said something shocking.

Everyone at the scene was shocked and shook their heads.

It looked like Lu Chen was going to force Zhou Hong to eat shit.

But how could Zhou Hong eat shit?

He was a high-level alchemist and the nephew of the city lord. He had such a noble status.

If he ate shit on the spot, where would Zhou Hong's face be? Where would the face of the alchemy hall be? Where would the face of the city lord be?

Zhou Hong's face was ashen, his fists were clenched, and he was about to explode.

"We are both alchemists, why do we have to force each other?"

A majestic voice sounded, echoing throughout the hall.

A middle-aged man with splayed eyebrows appeared.

The middle-aged man wore a black alchemy robe exactly like Zhou Hong, with a golden elixir embroidered on it.

The difference was that there was a striking red line under the golden elixir.

A first-level alchemist!

"Master Chen!"

Everyone bowed and was respectful to the alchemist.

Only Lu Chen did not react at all, neither bowing nor greeting.

Chen Yuanliang is not only a first-class alchemist, but also the owner of the alchemy hall. He monopolizes the elixirs in Shuangmu City and is as powerful as the city lord Zhou He.

Chen Yuanliang has a good relationship with Zhou He and has promoted Zhou Hong. Otherwise, Zhou Hong would not have such a high status in the alchemy world.

The alchemy hall refused Lu Chen to enter, which may also be due to the shadow of this owner Chen.

"Zhou Hong's joke, you don't have to take it to heart."

Chen Yuanliang glanced at Lu Chen indifferently, and waved his hand, "Come on, get 50 middle-grade body-refining pills and give them to this young alchemist. Today's matter is over."

Hearing this, there was a sensation at the scene.

Body-refining pills are basic pills, and the vast majority of warriors are in the body-refining realm, so the demand is huge.

However, it is not easy to refine pills. The market is in short supply and the price is very high.

An ordinary warrior can only afford a few low-grade body-refining pills a year at most.

The middle-grade body-refining pills are more difficult to refine and more expensive. Only wealthy and powerful families can afford them.

Chen Yuanliang spent a lot of money to save Zhou Hong's face.

Everyone looked at Lu Chen with envy.

Fifty middle-grade body-refining pills were offered, and Lu Chen accepted them without hesitation.

It was impossible to force Zhou Hong to eat shit. It was enough to embarrass Zhou Hong, and he could get benefits and make a fortune. Why not do it?

After all, the cost of fifty middle-grade body-refining pills is not small, and the medicinal materials for refining pills are very expensive.

Lu Chen was about to leave when he heard Zhou Hong's provocative voice.

"Lu Chen, since you are a pill-refining person, do you dare to accept my challenge? Let's have a pill-refining competition. If you lose, leave the pills and the dragon-awakening grass and get out. If I lose, I will give you fifty low-grade spiritual energy pills!"
