The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 964 Is alchemy really that simple?
After Lin Chen performed all eight basic techniques, Su Mubai was dumbfounded.

Lin Chen's operation was meticulous and swift, flowing smoothly. It might not be absolutely perfect, but in terms of technique, it was in no way inferior to hers.

Su Mubai couldn't help but start to doubt his own existence.

Are the differences between people really that great?
"Have you really never been involved in alchemy before?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Yes, perhaps because I was originally a doctor in the human world, I have a deeper understanding of the word 'stability,' so it is easier for me to do things."

Su Mubai smiled wryly and said, "I have nothing to say. To be honest, teaching a genius like you is really too discouraging. With your current level, I don't know how much time I spent back then."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Consider this a compliment from you. Shall I begin refining the pills?"

Su Mubai nodded: "Okay, but first, you need to find your own exclusive alchemy furnace. Although experts don't necessarily need an exclusive furnace to refine pills, only with your own furnace can you become familiar with it through repeated alchemy and maximize the success rate of pills."

Lin Chen took out the Nine-Bend Alchemy Furnace: "This should be the alchemy furnace of Chen Xinghe, the sect leader of the Three Ghosts Sect. Now it belongs to me, and I think its quality should be quite good."

"Nine-Bend Alchemy Furnace!"

Su Mubai exclaimed in surprise, his eyes brightening: "This is a top-grade product from the alchemy furnace. Although it's not the absolute best, it's definitely top-tier quality and extremely rare. It seems you've made a lot of money on this trip."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Now that we've come this far, it wouldn't be right for me not to do something..."

Lin Chen took out a long, ornately decorated whip and handed it to Su Mubai.

"It's a very nice magic weapon, but it's not suitable for me. I'll give it to you."

Su Mubai quickly waved his hand: "I was just joking, I didn't want anything."

Lin Chen smiled and stuffed the whip into Su Mubai's hand: "Didn't you teach me alchemy? Consider this my tuition fee. I slaughtered an entire sect and robbed them of everything. I have plenty of magic treasures and such, so don't be polite with me."

Su Mubai reluctantly accepted: "Thank you. Actually, what I told you was just the basics. You can ask any alchemy disciple, they all know it. It's nothing. Besides, you also taught me a memory technique, which is very special and effective. I've already taken advantage of you."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "This memory technique is not a secret in the human world. As long as you want to learn it, there are ways to learn it. Alright, now that I have the alchemy furnace, what else do I need?"

Su Mubai replied, "The most indispensable element in alchemy is fire. You also need to have high-quality alchemical fire. Otherwise, if the fire is not strong enough or not pure enough, the quality of the pills produced will be very poor, and it is easy to cause problems with the alchemical fire."

Lin Chen nodded: "I saw this in the book, but unfortunately, those strange flames are hard to find. They are all things that can only be encountered by chance." Su Mubai explained simply: "Yes, you are right. They can only be encountered by chance, but that's why they are so precious. However, not all strange flames are so hard to find. Earth core magma flames are relatively common."

"Although the quality of Earth Core Magma Fire is not the highest, it is the easiest to obtain and is the alchemical fire used by the vast majority of alchemists. As long as you are willing to spend spirit stones, even if it is a bit expensive, it is not too difficult to buy a piece of Earth Core Magma Fire."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It seems I need to prepare some pill fire rings, so that I won't encounter any special strange fires in the future and not have a container to store them."

The Danhuo Ring is also a spatial artifact, specifically designed to store different types of fire. It releases the fire when needed and stores it back in when not in use. It can even be used to control different types of fire in battle.

Su Mubai smiled and said, "You can borrow my core magma fire to practice first."

Lin Chen nodded: "Thank you!"

Su Mubai smiled and said, "Now I will demonstrate the refining of several common pills for you. Once you are proficient, you will be on the right track. After that, you can explore and practice other pill formulas on your own. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."

"it is good!"

After receiving hands-on guidance from Su Mubai, Lin Chen began to practice.

In the beginning, as was inevitable, the ovens exploded, ruining batch after batch of raw materials.

Lin Chen didn't take it to heart and focused on summarizing and refining the process.

Finally, after seven or eight failures, Lin Chen successfully refined his first batch of pills, which were of poor quality.

Lin Chen seemed to have found the right path. His alchemy skills became more and more proficient, the success rate of pill formation gradually increased, and the quality of the pills also improved rapidly.

This scene left Su Mubai speechless.

Is alchemy such a simple thing?
How long did it take Lin Chen to go from wanting to learn alchemy to producing pills of such high quality?
More than three months?

On this day, Lin Chen was refining pills when Situ Xiu suddenly came to visit. He brought the spirit stones he had earned from the sales, and also brought Lin Chen some unexpected news.

"Brother Chen, Senior Jiang Rukong, whom you met in Death Valley, has appeared!"
