Chapter 190 Don’t you know how to avoid people?
noon.
Alchemy Hall.
The sun shines everywhere, but it cannot reach the 18th floor. In order to be close to the underground fire, only the main hall of the Alchemy Hall is on the ground, where people make a living by selling elixirs and receiving distinguished guests. The rest of the alchemy rooms are underground, which are well connected and well ventilated. All the high-temperature alchemy rooms are blocked with special insulation materials. Therefore, living underground is not very uncomfortable for the monks.
"Wang Qiye, don't you know how to avoid people?"
Duanmu Lan rolled her eyes at him.
Yan Mengwan hadn't come yet. At this moment, Wang Qiye, Duanmu Lan and Chuntao were preparing the medicinal materials for tomorrow's furnace. Today's medicinal materials had been prepared, and they were just waiting for Yan Mengwan to come. Duanmu Lan was ready to start the furnace.
"What is there to avoid? We are a legal couple, not an adulterous couple."
Wang Qiye chuckled. He was already quite skilled in grinding medicine. He kept pounding the medicine pestle in his hand, and his feet were not idle either, stepping on the medicine mill. It was a simple job, but it was also a very trying job. As the pestle pounded again and again, a scent of grass and trees drifted throughout the room.
"You can't shout so loudly."
Duanmu Lan's voice became lower and lower, and finally her face turned red.
Wang Qiye wanted to say something rude. "You can yell too." But after thinking about it, he held back. What if this girl was shameless and slapped him? How could he explain it to Lei Siyu? He was afraid that he would be laughed at by these maids.
"I'll try to keep her in control."
Duanmu Lan rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.
Wang Qiye stared at her full and soft breasts that were rising and falling, and took a peek. The two of them were not too close, nor too far away. The faint scent of plants wafting from Duanmu Lan's body fascinated Wang Qiye. At first, he just felt it was novel, because it was Duanmu Lan's body fragrance. As the two of them got along for a long time, sometimes he didn't smell it and missed it a little.
"I kept you waiting."
Just when Wang Qiye was daydreaming, Yan Mengwan arrived late with Ye Lingxi.
"It's not too late. It won't take much time to open the furnace. This time, I'm going to refine the third-level elixir, Xiao Huan Dan. In order to open the furnace smoothly and keep it in full condition, I plan to give the first-level auxiliary medicine to Wang Qiye to refine. Junior Sister Yan, you will refine the second-level auxiliary medicine, and I will refine the three third-level main medicines myself."
Duanmu Lan stopped what he was doing and turned around.
"I am honored that Senior Sister Lan trusts Yan Mengwan so much."
Yan Mengwan was surprised that Duanmu Lan trusted her so much.
Although Duanmu Lan had never seen Yan Mengwan making the elixir, but when Wang Qiye "maintained" the alchemy furnace and Yan Mengwan was giving instructions, Duanmu Lan was also present. From a single glimpse, he could tell the whole picture. Wang Qiye's rapid progress was naturally due to the efforts of both of them, but it also made Duanmu Lan recognize Yan Mengwan, a woman who was on par with himself in alchemy attainments.
"Junior Sister Yan is willing to help, and Senior Sister Lan wants to thank you. Let's go quickly. I can't wait any longer."
"Ok."
Wang Qiye and Yan Mengwan followed Duanmu Lan into the alchemy room. He didn't know if it was an illusion. Although Yan Mengwan was normal today, Wang Qiye always felt that the two of them were so close, yet so far away.
"Wang Qiye, you can use this furnace to refine these first-level medicinal materials into liquid medicine. Is there any problem?"
Duanmu Lan put down eight portions of medicinal materials. These spring peaches had been separated. One pile of first-level medicinal materials, one pile of second-level medicinal materials, and one pile of third-level medicinal materials. There were still three idle alchemy furnaces, which was plenty. Three people could operate one each.
"no problem."
Wang Qiye nodded. It was not difficult for Wang Qiye to refine the medicinal materials into liquid medicine. Wang Qiye felt that he could give it a try with his own strength, not to mention the first-level medicinal materials. Even the third-level medicinal materials could be refined into liquid medicine. After all, the trick of alchemy was still in "opening the furnace" and "maintenance". The other links were relatively less important.
"Then leave it to you."
After Duanmu Lan finished speaking, he walked away and returned to his own alchemy furnace. He chanted a spell and started to light the fire. Yan Mengwan had already started.
Wang Qiye also retracted his gaze and took a deep breath. He was still a little excited. After all, he was now involved in the refining process of the third-level elixir. As for nervousness, he was not nervous at all. He was already a qualified second-level alchemist who could skillfully refine second-level elixirs. It was as easy as drinking water to refine some first-level herbs into liquid medicine.
Wang Qiye cast a spell, the ground fire mouth opened, the fire was adjusted to the maximum, and the furnace began to heat up. Hot air surged out, and the whole alchemy room was hot and unbearable. Wang Qiye, who had been with the alchemy furnace every day, had now adapted to it. As a result, even the temperature of Wang Qiye's daily medicinal bath has been set at 500 degrees.
When the alchemy furnace was almost heated up, Wang Qiye uttered a spell, and the temperature of the earth fire dropped a little. When the temperature of the alchemy furnace stabilized, Wang Qiye opened the lid of the furnace and threw the processed herbs into it. The first few herbs to be refined were the most difficult, and the temperature in the furnace was relatively high for those herbs that were cut into slices, so they were just right for refining.
The spells kept changing, and one by one, first-grade medicinal materials were refined into liquid medicine, and then put into porcelain bottles with labels. When the last portion was refined, Chuntao came over in time, took it away, and then sent it to Duanmu Lan.
Wang Qiye turned off the underground fire of the alchemy furnace in front of him, and then he had nothing to do. At this time, Yan Mengwan also finished her work, and Duanmu Lan threw the last batch of third-level medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace.
After experiencing a fourth-order alchemy furnace, Wang Qiye looked at Duanmu Lan with envy. He could swear that he was definitely not coveting her curvy figure.
The fourth-grade alchemy furnace is extremely useful for refining first-grade medicinal materials. Compared with the ordinary one used by Wang Qiye, it not only saves refining time, but also the control technique is also very handy and there is no delay.
"I'm going to start the furnace next, so watch carefully."
Duanmu Lan called out, and after refining the last batch of third-level medicinal materials into liquid medicine, she didn't spend much energy at all. Otherwise, if she had refined so many medicinal materials by herself, she would definitely have to sit down and meditate before she dared to open the furnace.
Wang Qiye and Yan Mengwan didn't dare to be distracted any longer and watched attentively, as such opportunities were rare.
As soon as Duanmu Lan finished speaking, she uttered a spell, the lid of the furnace opened, and bottle after bottle of refined liquid medicine began to be poured into the furnace. As Duanmu Lan's gestures began to merge, Duanmu Lan's spells became faster and faster, and her two hands flew up and down like fluttering butterflies. For her, alchemy was like an art, worthy of being from the long-standing Duanmu family.
As sweat poured down, waves of spiritual energy surged in the alchemy room. The boiling hot liquid medicine churned in the alchemy furnace. With Duanmu Lan's spells, the temperature of the earth fire and the temperature in the furnace were constantly adjusted. Depending on the timing and temperature, different spells were used to achieve the best condition.
The aroma of the elixir began to emanate from the elixir furnace and spread throughout the alchemy room. The elixir aura of the third-level elixir was stronger than that of the second-level elixir, which showed how effective it was.
When the medicinal liquid in the furnace began to stabilize and no longer churned, Duanmu Lan stopped practicing and breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did Wang Qiye and Yan Mengwan dare to breathe deeply, recalling everything they had just seen, and felt that they had gained a lot. Learning is also a physical job, not much easier than refining Duanmu Lan, who immersed his mind in every move and every spell of hers. By the time it was over, the two of them had white lips and sweat soaked their backs.
Chuntao hurried forward and wiped the sweat from her cheeks with the towel. It can be seen that the third-level elixir is still a bit stressful for her.
"After 270 days, this third-level Xiao Huan Dan can be started."
Duanmu Lan glanced at Wang Qiye and Yan Mengwan with a smug look on his face, and then continued speaking as if he was giving an explanation.
"The Xiao Huan Dan is one of the more famous healing medicines among the third-level ones. Basically, no matter how serious the injury is, as long as the limbs are not cut off, only one pill is needed to stabilize the injury. If the injury is not serious, it only takes about a day to heal. It is basically a must-have pill for the third-level cultivators to go out to hunt for treasures, explore, and hunt monsters."
"Senior Sister Lan, how much does this Xiao Huan Dan cost?"
Wang Qiye is still concerned about whether he can make money.
"Only eight portions of medicinal materials were put into this furnace, and each portion costs 260 spirit stones. If 80 low-grade pills can be produced, one low-grade pill can be sold for 30 spirit stones, a medium-grade pill is worth 40 spirit stones, and a high-grade pill is worth 60 spirit stones. If it is a top-grade pill with pill patterns, it can heal even broken hands and feet, and the selling price of one pill is 120 spirit stones. Just two pills with pill patterns can make a profit, and the rest are pure profit."
Duanmu Lan explained everything clearly, no matter how big or small, just to make Wang Qiye understand.
Wang Qiye sighed inwardly. If he wanted to make money, he had to refine third-grade elixirs. The average selling price of a bottle of second-grade inferior elixir was 50 spirit stones, and the average selling price of a bottle of third-grade inferior elixir had reached 300 spirit stones. The higher his cultivation level, the more spirit stones he could earn. Only by selling these consumables for high-level cultivators could he support himself and his two maids. The pressure was really huge.
