Rebellious Contract Beast

"Impossible!" Hearing Shen Yi's guess, He Jian Chuyun shook his head decisively.

Walking all the way from the entrance of the shed here, the wooden tools on both sides of the aisle are more or less covered with a layer of dust. It is obvious that no one has touched these things for a long time.

It is a black workshop and a storage room, and the environment is very poor.

Walking deep into the shed, the tools, equipment and various items were not covered with dust at all.

And in a large bucket at the innermost part of the pavilion, one can clearly see that it is filled with pills.

What can I say about these pills… They look very similar to the Peiyuan Pills that cultivators all over the world often take. However, unlike ordinary Peiyuan Pills, the Peiyuan Pills in the big bowl are smaller, only half the size of normal Peiyuan Pills.

They are like small Peiyuan pills that have not yet grown up.

It is because these Peiyuan Pills are too small that Shen Yi guessed that the mysterious black workshop in the horse farm is making pills.

But is this possible?
This is why Tsurumi Hatsuyun shook his head decisively.

Because she is an alchemist, she knows how difficult it would be to refine pills without the alchemist's fire.

The first point is that the materials for alchemy are too fragile and cannot tolerate any negligence.

The temperature is the most critical. If it is too high, the alchemy materials will become mushy. If it is too low, they will be suffocated into charcoal, which will directly lead to the failure of alchemy. There is no room for recovery.

Based on her experience as an alchemist, in theory, mortals can also make elixirs, but this is only theory. It will be extremely difficult to put it into practice. In Shen Yi's words, it is like making an atomic bomb with bare hands.

You can imagine how difficult it is.

Apart from anything else, if ordinary people want to refine and make successful elixirs without elixir fire, the first thing they need is precise control of the temperature, and it must be precise to an unimaginable degree, accurate to more than a dozen decimal points after zero!
From throwing the materials into the alchemy furnace for refining, to the materials being refined into spiritual liquid, and finally to the spiritual liquid solidifying into pills.

There are three stages in total.

And this is only the control of temperature in the first stage of alchemy. In the second stage, the required temperature is more gentle than that in the first stage. In the last stage, the control of temperature is even stricter.

Let’s not talk about whether there is anyone in this world who can control the heat so precisely. Even if there is such an ability, who can control and transition the heat required for the three stages so smoothly?
Moreover, before the first stage of refining the alchemy materials, the alchemist needs to remove the hidden impurities in the materials to ensure the quality of the finished pill.

This also requires the alchemist to control the temperature, which is extremely difficult.

Who without Danhuo has the perseverance to meet these conditions?
When refining the elixir without the elixir fire, the error rate is too low. As long as there is a little bit of it... No! Not just a little bit! It's a tiny bit!
Even the slightest deviation in the temperature will result in all the efforts being wasted!
And that’s not all. If you want to make pills without using pill fire, any other fire, no matter if it’s a strange fire from somewhere or just ordinary fire, if you want to make pills successfully, your mind must be kept tense throughout the process.

Some people may think that this is as it should be. After all, if you want to become an alchemist without alchemy fire, it is no big deal to endure these hardships. But what if someone tells you that even if you have extremely precise control over the temperature, it will take more than a few hours to complete the alchemy with ordinary fire?
You know, when He Jian Chuyun had just comprehended the Dan Fire, it took him almost two hours to refine a furnace of Beast-Nourishing Pills, and he only produced four or five inferior Beast-Nourishing Pills.

Even she had such an experience, not to mention those alchemists who didn't have alchemy fire.

If you don't have alchemy fire and use ordinary fire to make the elixir, then naturally the lower the temperature, the easier it is to succeed, because it is safer.

But the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish. Conversely, the smaller the wind and waves, the cheaper the fish.

It is right to lower the flame temperature to ensure stability during alchemy, but too low a temperature will greatly reduce the efficiency of producing pills. Other alchemists have real alchemy fire, and regardless of the quality, it will take at least three or four hours for them to produce a furnace of inferior pills.

If ordinary fire is used to make elixirs, although all the necessary conditions are met, the time required to make the elixir is a hundred times that of an ordinary alchemist.

It takes you one or two months to refine a batch of medicinal materials for Peiyuan Pills. That would be fine, but after two months, you only produce four or five pills in one furnace, and they are all inferior. The effort and reward are not proportional at all.

The price/performance ratio is really too low.

When Shen Yi stole materials from Qingyuan Sect and planned to use his dragon breath to make pills, it would be strange if he could succeed.

From the moment he spewed out dragon breath to heat the alchemy furnace, the result was already determined.

This is why He Jianchuyun was certain that it was impossible for anyone to refine the elixir without elixir fire.

But what about these small pills of Peiyuan Pills?

She walked forward, took one out, put it to her nose and smelled it, and the next moment she couldn't help but frowned.

It cannot be said that these small Peiyuan Pills are odorless. They do have odor, but it is very faint. The smell is very similar to that of normal-sized Peiyuan Pills, but with an additional strange spice smell. She couldn't tell what the smell was, but it was not unpleasant.

Turning his head to look at the other side, there was a large water tank filled with orange-yellow viscous liquid that was still steaming. The fragrance of the elixir floating in the air came from the liquid.

"These are..." He Jian Chu Yun quickly recognized that these were the semi-finished products of Pei Yuan Dan. After putting the materials into the alchemy furnace, the materials were first refined into spiritual liquid and finally solidified into pills with magic power. This tank of semi-finished products was the alchemy materials that were forcibly taken out after being refined into spiritual liquid state.

I don’t know what means someone used, but after these spiritual fluids were taken out, they did not solidify and turn black, but remained in liquid state.

However, although these spiritual liquids have not solidified, taking them out like this is equivalent to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. They are already wasted. Even if they can be salvaged, the effects of the pills refined through secondary processing will be greatly reduced, and the quality will be extremely poor.

"How to say?"

"These are all elixir liquids. They were forcibly taken out before they became pills." He Jian Chuyun explained to Shen Yi. At the same time, he opened the sack next to him and took a look inside. There were normal-sized Peiyuan Pills in it. The quality seemed to be standard.

Everything was very strange. Just when He Jianchuyun was thinking about something, Duan Huai came over and asked, "Girl, how are you? Are these pills special?"

"I don't know either. Why don't you ask someone to ask those people?"

"Good Le!"

Duan Huai nodded and quickly led his men out.

After being tortured, the few stable guys who had been hiding here quickly confessed.

As expected, this was the black workshop in the horse farm, and what they produced was nothing but these Peiyuan Pills.

But the Peiyuan Pills here are different from those made by normal alchemists outside. The Peiyuan Pills made by alchemists are made by themselves, while the Peiyuan Pills made by this black workshop are processed secondary.

The things being processed were exactly those small Peiyuan Pills.

Of course, these small pills were not made in a black workshop, but were bought by Han Guishan from an alchemist.

Although these small Peiyuan Pills are small in size, their medicinal effects are equivalent to those of ordinary Peiyuan Pills. In fact, you can use them as normal Peiyuan Pills.

It’s just that these small Peiyuan Pills contain an extra medicinal ingredient that normal Peiyuan Pills don’t have.

The guys at the horse farm said that their daily job in the black workshop is to soak these small Peiyuan pills in the pill liquid, then take them out and process the small Peiyuan pills into normal-sized Peiyuan pills, making it impossible to tell the mystery inside.

As for what additional ingredients these processed Peiyuan Pills have compared to normal Peiyuan Pills, they are just a group of workers. They don't know much and are not very clear about it. They just do their job.

These Peiyuan Pills that have undergone secondary processing have never been sold to the outside world by the horse farm. They are usually sold to a man named Sikong, whose full name is unknown. Even the owner of the horse farm, Han Guishan, does not call this "Sikong" by his full name, but calls him "Sir Sikong". It is obvious that his identity is not simple.

There are rumors in the horse farm that this Sikong Lord seems to be a big shot in Jiyuansi. Whether it is true or not, it is very intriguing. Finally, the identity of the alchemist who refined these small "Peiyuan Pills" is also a mystery.

Hearing this, He Jian Chuyun waved her hand and asked someone to bring the farm workers down. She picked up a processed Pei Yuan Dan and put it to her mouth, but after hesitating for a moment, she chose not to eat it. She asked Shen Yi in her heart: "Xuan Li, do you want to try it? Help me see what is the difference between these Pei Yuan Dan?"

"Want to use me to test drugs again? Get lost!"

"Don't be angry~ You are immune to all poisons anyway~"

"It's my business that I'm immune to all poisons. That's not an excuse for you to use me to test your medicine!"

"Okay, okay, I won't use you to test the medicine, okay?"

"roll roll roll!"

Listening to the violent noises made by Shen Yi in her mind, the girl shook her head helplessly and gave up the idea of ​​using Shen Yi to test the medicine.

Anyway, any pill that enters his mouth will be refined into almighty red gas. I think the same is true for the Peiyuan Pills processed in this black workshop. It is impossible to test out what effect they have in this way. It is better to take them back and study them carefully to see what is so strange about these Peiyuan Pills.

After packing all the processed Peiyuan Pills into the storage space, He Jian Chuyun did not stay here for long and quickly evacuated with his men.

When the Tiger Gang attacked the horse farm this time, Shen Yi prepared several backup plans to deal with any unexpected events that might occur at any time. Fortunately, everything went smoothly and nothing went wrong.

On the other hand, after Han Guishan got on the carriage and left the horse farm, he did not enter the city smoothly. The moment he drove into the farmers' market, Zhang Wenyuan and his men blocked him on the road.

"Stand still! Stop!"

The driver in front of him looked very upset, and he immediately asked Han Guishan in the carriage, "Master! Someone is blocking us! They are from the Tiger Gang!"

Hearing this, Han Guishan's face suddenly darkened. At this moment, he was very calm, knowing that the Tiger Gang was targeting him. If he stopped, his life or death would be at the mercy of the other party, so he didn't dare to stop. He said directly, "Keep going! Go full speed ahead! Whoever dares to stop me will be killed!"

"It's the master!"

Zhuzi nodded in response, raised the whip and hit the horse's back hard, forcing the horse pulling the cart to move faster.

But Zhang Wenyuan had already guessed what Han Guishan was going to do, and he led dozens of Tiger Gang disciples to draw their bows and arrows, and then countless arrows flew out!

Wow!

Seeing the rain of arrows coming, Zhuzi's face changed drastically. The next second, before he could react, his body was full of arrows. The whole carriage also stopped heavily. The two horses pulling the carriage were not spared. They were killed on the spot by the rain of arrows and fell to the ground.

Without the horses pulling the carriage, the carriage behind did not stop immediately, but continued to slide forward due to inertia until it ran over the horse's corpse and fell apart and overturned.

"Fuck him! He tried to hit us!"

"Pull him out for me!"

Fortunately, Han Guishan had some skills, so he was not injured in the car accident. He was just a little dizzy. Before he could come to his senses, he was grabbed by the collar and forcibly pulled out by a disciple of the Tiger Gang, and then pinned to the ground and beat.

Faced with the siege of more than a dozen people, Han Guishan had no ability to resist at all, and was beaten to a bloody mess by the punches and kicks that followed.

"That's enough! Stop it."

After a while, Zhang Wenyuan raised his hand, stopped his men's actions, walked forward and picked Han Guishan up from the ground.

"You...who are you?"

"Nonsense? Can't the Tiger Gang see that? Don't you have eyes?"

"You came to see me?"

"Yes, I came to ask you something."

"You Tiger Gang members killed so many of my people. There's nothing good about this..."

Snapped!
Han Guishan wanted to say something tough, but Zhang Wenyuan didn't give him any face at all. He interrupted him with a slap in the face, leaving him confused.

"Don't talk nonsense to me. Just answer whatever I ask you. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you!"

"I say! What do you want to ask?"

"Do you have a relative working for the Lonely Alliance?"

"This..." Although he already had a guess in his mind, Han Guishan couldn't help but panic when he heard that Zhang Wenyuan and others really came because of his second uncle. However, because of his panic and hesitation, Zhang Wenyuan slapped him in the face again.

Snapped!
"Tell me! What are you standing there for?"

"What are you looking for my second uncle for?"

"Oh! So he's your uncle! As for what? Of course, we're going to settle accounts with him! Where is he? Tell me quickly!"

"I don't know..." Han Guishan shook his head, but before he finished his words, he was slapped again.

Snapped!
The slap was so powerful that it knocked him to the ground.

Bah~
After spitting, Zhang Wenyuan stood up and kicked him in the stomach. The others did not just stand there and watched. They surrounded Han Guishan who was lying on the ground and punched and kicked him until he could not bear it anymore and began to beg for mercy. Zhang Wenyuan then stopped, bent over, grabbed the man's hair and lifted him up, with a joking smile on his face, and asked, "Do you understand now?"

Han Guishan was in a miserable state at the moment. In front of him were elite disciples of the Tiger Gang, each one was more ruthless than the last. Facing these people, even with his Pure Level cultivation, Han Guishan could not withstand it and had to compromise.

Today I fell into the tiger's mouth.

"I said it, I said it!"

"Then hurry up!"

"My second uncle lives in a house on Shuxiangfang Street in Jueqingjian!"

"Take us there!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Zhang Wenyuan directly threw Han Guishan into the carriage parked nearby, then gestured to the surroundings and led his men into the city.

"let's go!"
