I couldn't afford the bride price, so I had to marry the Demon Sect Saintess

Chapter 20 You, Me, and Him in an Ordinary Town

The body of the monks on the third level of Qi training is already far superior to that of ordinary people. Although the bronze furnace is heavy, if you insist on moving it, it is not impossible to move it.

Just a little embarrassed.

Qin Gengyun finally moved the bronze stove into the kitchen, leaning on his waist and panting.

He looked outside and said loudly:
"Friend Qiu, today I not only bought a bronze furnace, but also spent one spirit stone to buy four pill stones, and one spirit stone to buy a clear spirit grass. Tonight is a bright moon in the sky, which is a good time for alchemy. How about refining 'Qingfeng San'?"

After a while, there was no response from outside.

Qin Gengyun walked out of the kitchen, but saw that Qiu Zhihe had already gone to bed, with his back turned to him.

Qin Gengyun had no choice but to say: "Friend Qiu, you should go to bed first, I'm going to make alchemy."

After speaking, he walked back to the kitchen.

On the bed, Qiu Zhihe who was facing the wall opened his eyes, stretched out his slender arms from under the quilt, and held a Qingling grass overflowing with spiritual energy in his hand.

This was cultivated by her spiritual power during the day in the past two days.

Qiu Zhihe was silent for a moment, took out the storage bag, put the Qingling grass in it, and then closed his eyes again.

in the kitchen.

Qin Gengyun cleaned the alchemy furnace with a broom, opened the bottom of the alchemy furnace, and put a pill stone into the fire chamber.

Then he urged the spiritual power on the Danshi, and soon the Danshi ignited.

Qin Gengyun quickly picked up the fire-controlling fan, flicked it twice, and the pill fire gradually became stronger.

There are seven steps in alchemy. The first step is to wash the furnace, clean the alchemy furnace, and leave no impurities.

The second step is to light the fire, put the pill stone into the pill furnace, and use spiritual power to stimulate the birth of the pill fire.

Qin Gengyun has completed the first two steps, and the next step is to use the medicine. He picked up the Qingling grass, opened the side furnace door, wrapped the Qingling grass with spiritual energy, and put it in the furnace.

The first three steps are very simple, washing the stove, elixir fire, and adding medicine, and the subsequent steps will start to test the realm and experience of the alchemist.

The fourth step is to transform the medicine, control the pill fire to melt the medicinal material and turn it into a liquid medicine.

Usually during this step, there will be a spirit fan Yaoshi waiting by the side, fanning the fire control spirit fan according to the instructions of the alchemist, so as to control the size of the pill fire.

But Qin Gengyun didn't have the capital to hire a spiritual fan medicine official, so he had to do it himself.

While fanning the spiritual fan to control the pill fire, he focused on entering the furnace with his spiritual sense to check the refining process of the medicinal materials in the furnace.

Fortunately, first-grade medicinal materials such as Qinglingcao are easy to refine. After an hour, the Qinglingcao in the furnace has been turned into a liquid medicine.

Then comes the hardest step - refining.

The so-called refining is to use spiritual consciousness to enter the furnace to separate the essence and impurities in the liquid medicine, the essence remains in the main furnace, and the impurities are discharged into the erysipelas chamber.

In this way, only the most essential part of the liquid medicine remains in the main furnace.

This step has extremely high requirements on alchemist's spiritual control ability.

It is as difficult as peeling a raw egg with one hand and engraving letters on rice grains.

This step is the difference between alchemists and ordinary monks.

Many monks who wanted to become alchemists were stopped at this step and could only give up.

When Qin Gengyun was still an apprentice of an alchemist, he often exercised his spiritual consciousness to the smallest detail, but at that time his spiritual consciousness was not strong enough to carry out the practice of refining.

And at this moment, it was the first time for him to truly carry out this most crucial step as an alchemist.

In the alchemy furnace, Qin Gengyun's spiritual consciousness penetrated into the melted liquid medicine, separating the impurities and essence little by little.

But he was not proficient enough, the process was very slow, after two hours, half of the impurities were stripped out.

And his consciousness has consumed most of it.

It's just that it has gone so far, once it stops, the aura in the liquid medicine will dissipate, so it can only continue.

Another hour passed, Qin Gengyun was sweating profusely and his face was pale.

Most of the impurities were finally stripped away, but his spiritual power was no longer able to support it.

boom!
Finally, the consciousness that he probed into the furnace was disordered, and the essence that was originally wrapped in spiritual energy exploded with a bang, spilling over the furnace.

Extraction failed.

This Qingling grass, which cost one spirit stone, was completely scrapped.

Qin Gengyun slumped on the ground and raised his hand with difficulty to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

There is a saying in Danshi:
The one who succeeds in alchemy for the first time is a peerless genius, the one who succeeds in the second alchemy is a genius, and the one who succeeds in the third time is a genius.

The majority of people in the world succeed after more than four or five attempts, and they are you, me, and him in ordinary towns.

It seems that this is true, the probability of success in alchemy for the first time is even more difficult than that of the previous life when Kao Gong went ashore.

Qin Gengyun had already prepared in his heart. If he was a peerless genius, it would be impossible for him to practice Qi at the second level at the age of 35. Even a genius is unlikely.

Living in a small town, I failed two or three times, which is really normal.

It's just that a stalk of clear spirit grass needs a spirit stone, and this is what makes people feel sore.

Qin Gengyun extinguished the pill fire in the stove, washed briefly, got up and walked out of the kitchen.

Today's consciousness is exhausted, let's try again tomorrow.

Walking to the bed, I saw Qiu Zhihe on the bed was still facing the wall, with his back to himself, probably already asleep.

Qin Gengyun took off his coat, got on the bed lightly, looked at the petite and exquisite figure, turned his back, and closed his eyes.

His consciousness was exhausted, he was extremely tired, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

……

Yin Shi.

Willow Smoke Lane.

Three men in black robes guarded a bronze furnace, shivering in the early morning wind.

Zhao Yi looked at the alley, and murmured:

"Why aren't seniors here yet?"

According to the request of the senior last night, today the three of them dragged the bronze furnace to Liuyan Lane.

But after waiting for an hour, the senior still did not appear.

The three of them were all injured last night, and they were poisoned by the Heart-Eating Pill. They couldn't resist the cold wind of the cold winter at night, but they dared not leave.

I can only wait in the cold wind.

The three hugged their bodies that were about to freeze, hoping to see through them.

Another hour passed, around three quarters of Shen time.

Finally, a tall red figure appeared.

"Welcome senior!"

Zhao Yi, Qian Er, and Sun San immediately knelt down and shouted respectfully.

With a flattering face, Zhao Yi pointed to the bronze furnace next to him: "Senior, this is the pill furnace you want."

Qian Er smiled all over his face: "Senior, this bronze furnace was cleaned last night to ensure that there are no impurities in it!"

Sun San said respectfully: "Senior, I also put four middle-grade Danshi in the furnace, please accept it."

Zhao Yi and Qian Er turned their heads and stared at him.

Damn, let this kid take the credit!

However, as soon as the three of them finished speaking, they heard the ethereal voice:

"I don't want the alchemy stove anymore, let's move it back."

The three looked up at the red-haired nun in astonishment: "Huh?"

But the red-haired nun had already turned and walked out of the alley.

The three looked at each other, and Zhao Dao said, "What should I do?"

Qian Er said helplessly: "Didn't you hear what senior said? Let's move back!"

Sun San said with a bitter face: "Brothers, if it is normal, I can move this small alchemy furnace back by myself, but now I am seriously injured, cold and hungry, and I really have no strength."

The two stared at him: "Aren't we the same? Stop talking nonsense, do it quickly, don't be seen!"

So, the three black-robed men struggled to lift the heavy bronze stove, and walked towards Narrow Rain Lane humming.
