Martial Arts Immortal Saint: Starting from Feeding Horses and Escorting Goods

He rubbed his eyes and looked again, only to find that the alchemy furnace was still the same as before, about half a person's height, completely black, and he couldn't see what was inside.

illusion?

He was puzzled, so he focused his attention on observing the furnace for a few more breaths. The furnace changed again, and the medicinal herbs inside transformed into medicinal vapor. The state of the vapor was clearly presented to him.

At this point, Yu Xiaoshui added the second ingredient.

In Lu Chuan's view, the second medicinal herb was in its original state, showing no changes upon entering.

But after a few breaths, the medicinal vapor began to rise gradually, merging and intertwining with the medicinal vapor of the first herb, resulting in a wonderful reaction.

"Can this martial arts manual panel help me monitor the real-time status of the medicinal herbs being refined in the alchemy furnace?"

A surge of joy welled up inside Lu Chuan, and he finally understood.

Doesn't this mean that even though I don't have the talent, I can still try alchemy?

He suppressed his restlessness and carefully observed the situation inside the alchemy furnace.

Master Zhang Dan truly lived up to his reputation as a great alchemist; he handled the Bone-Refining Pill with ease, even on his first attempt.

During the observation in Luchuan, it was observed that the medicinal properties of each herb were almost perfectly integrated, without any conflict, and they complemented each other.

It was completed in less than half an hour.

In Lu Chuan's final vision, he saw the medicinal energy from all the herbs being refined, which ultimately merged and intertwined perfectly, forming a perfectly round pill.

"This medicinal vapor form is probably the medicinal power within the herbs being refined. I can clearly see its trajectory, ultimately transforming into a pill!"

Lu Chuan speculated in his mind.

His heart was pounding. If this fact were verified, he might indeed be able to try alchemy!

Yu Xiaoshui had already taken out four pills from the alchemy furnace.

After taking it, Master Zhang examined it carefully and finally smiled.

"Good, it really is a Bone-Forging Pill, just like some of the Bone-Forging Pills I bought before, hehehe."

Zhang Danshi was all smiles, clearly very happy.

He turned to look at Lu Chuan and smiled, "Lu Chuan, I said I'd give you two, you can take them now."

"Thank you, Master Zhang."

Lu Chuan stepped forward and took two Bone-Forging Pills.

Upon handling, it feels smooth and rounded, still slightly warm, and has a faint sheen.

The two Bone Forging Pills contain potent medicinal power, which can greatly increase his chances of breaking through to the Bone Forging Realm!

Lu Chuan carefully put the pill away.

"Although I am already a Grand Alchemist, I have always been troubled by the fact that I cannot refine Bone Forging Pills. Now you have filled the knot in my heart."

"When we see that old guy from the Heavenly Sword Sect, we'll finally be able to stand up straight."

Master Zhang stroked his beard and said, "I must thank you for this. If you ever need anything in the future, please feel free to come to me if I can."

He knew very well that in a place like Canglan Prefecture, the value of the pill formula was not low. If Lu Chuan were to sell it, he could get more than just two Bone Forging Pills.

"Thank you very much, Master Zhang. Thank you very much." Lu Chuan respectfully cupped his hands, feeling reassured.

Master Zhang turned to Yu Xiaoshui and said, "Xiaoshui, you should get ready and start refining pills in my furnace."

"I remember you've recently been trying to refine a mid-grade mortal-level pill. This Bone Forging Pill is one of the most important pills for martial artists. I have some free time now, so you can give it a try."

"Okay, Master." Yu Xiaoshui said happily.

She immediately went to prepare the medicinal materials needed for the prescription, prepared them one by one, and set them aside.

Lu Chuan was about to leave, but now he hesitated. He wanted to continue watching Yu Xiaoshui's alchemy progress.

Standing nearby, Master Zhang seemed to have sensed Lu Chuan's thoughts. After a moment's thought, he said, "Lu Chuan, if you are interested in alchemy, you can watch from the side."

"I do have some interest in alchemy. Since Master Zhang has agreed, I thank you very much."

Lu Chuan relaxed and remained standing to the side.

Next, Yu Xiaoshui began refining pills.

When she started refining pills, she wasn't so composed. Even though Master Zhang personally helped her place the pills, she still looked quite nervous.

With just three medicinal herbs added to the alchemy furnace, fine beads of sweat began to appear on her face.

Lu Chuan carefully examined the three medicinal herbs inside the furnace. The medicinal power and aroma emanating from them were not as well-integrated as when Zhang Danshi had refined them.

On the contrary, there is a forced integration, unable to truly achieve a harmonious and mutually supportive interweaving, as if they might clash at any moment.

Just as the fourth ingredient was placed into the alchemy furnace, less than five breaths later, Lu Chuan keenly noticed that the medicinal power of one of the ingredients, Tibetan ginseng, had suddenly surged out of control.

In that instant, the several medicinal energies that had been barely compatible clashed violently, producing a muffled bang.

Lu Chuan was slightly surprised; this was clearly a failure.

As expected, Yu Xiaoshui sighed and raised her hand to wipe the fine sweat from her face.

Master Zhang stood aside, watching Yu Xiaoshui. After she had rested for a while, he asked, "As an ordinary alchemist, you should be able to easily refine high-grade mortal pills, but you failed to refine the Bone Forging Pill. Do you know why you failed?"

Yu Xiaoshui sat on the futon, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, and pondered carefully for a moment.

Without Lu Chuan's martial arts manual to assist her, she relied entirely on her own perception to control everything. Her first attempt at refining the Bone Forging Pill was somewhat rushed, which led to her failure.

"this……"

Yu Xiaoshui felt somewhat helpless.

Lu Chuan, standing to the side, was eager to try his luck; this was a great opportunity.

After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke up: "Master Zhang, I suspect that the medicinal power was not properly controlled. The first three ingredients had not yet fully blended before the fourth ingredient was added in a hurry."

"It must be that the medicinal properties of the third ingredient, Zangma ginseng, went out of control, causing the refining process to suddenly fail."

"I don't know if that's true?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Danshi, who was about to lecture Yu Xiaoshui, paused for a moment before speaking.

He looked somewhat surprised, but quickly suppressed it.

"What makes you say that, and what inferences do you draw?"

He appeared calm on the surface, but was slightly surprised inside.

This kid has never been involved in alchemy before, so how could he spot the problem with the failed refining at a glance?

To prevent Lu Chuan from making wild guesses, he pretended to ask the question as usual.

"Reporting to the alchemist, my internal energy cultivation method makes my senses particularly acute, and I have also studied the properties and pharmacology of medicines by following my father for many years."

"In the few breaths before the furnace exploded due to the failed refining process, the medicinal power of the Tibetan ginseng was very strong, and the aroma was wafting out. It was clear that the heat had been instantly increased. Then, a burnt smell filled the air."

"Therefore, I speculate that this is the reason."

Lu Chuan earnestly explained his reasoning, which was of course all made up; his hesitation earlier was simply to come up with a reason.

Zhang Danshi's gaze towards Lu Chuan changed once again.
