My game announcement panel is Tiandao?

The next day, early in the morning.

Zhou Yu instructed the young apprentice surnamed Sun to find Cheng Ye:

"Officer Cheng."

"Master Zhou asked if you want to go to the county market together later?"

Cheng shook his head, then went to see Zhou Yu in person and made a request that shocked everyone present:

"Master Zhou."

"I'd like to try my hand at alchemy."

Zhou Yu's brows furrowed instantly, and he looked at Cheng Ye, saying in a deep voice:

Don't aim too high.

Even if you truly have a photographic memory.

"We need to take it slow."

obviously.

Cheng Ye's "anxious" appearance was starting to make Zhou Yu somewhat displeased.

If it weren't for the fact that he and Chen Hai were very good friends.

at this time.

Zhou Yu may have already had Cheng Ye "sent" out of Almond Hall.

"Master Zhou, please let me explain."

"I only came into contact with, or saw with my own eyes, how elixirs are made."

Zhou Yu remained silent for about ten breaths.

"Little Sun."

"Today you will go and start refining the heat-clearing pills, and let Constable Cheng watch from the side."

The apprentice was extremely surprised, but in the end he agreed.

"Although Master Zhou is gentle, he is extremely strict when it comes to alchemy."

"This Constable Cheng hasn't even mastered the basics, yet Master Zhou allowed him into the alchemy room?"

Leave Almond Hall.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh, and said to Li Ruyi beside him:

"then."

"When I was young, I traveled and wandered the world."

"I lacked experience, and others set a trap for me, falsely accusing me of being the murderer who killed a family of twenty-three."

"If Chen Hai hadn't argued his case and cleared my name privately, there wouldn't be an Almond Hall today, and there wouldn't be an alchemist like Zhou Yu."

And for certain reasons.

Both Zhou Yu and Chen Hai remained unmarried throughout their lives.

In that new letter, Zhou Yu could tell that Chen Hai also treated Cheng as his own son.

and so.

Cheng Ye's request was somewhat absurd and unreasonable, but Zhou Yu still agreed.

"Master Zhou, before you have seen a wider world."

People are easily trapped in their own self-righteousness.

"After he went to the Southern Sea Palace and entered the Three Halls."

Only then can we break free from this trap.

……

Almond Hall, Alchemy Room.

Apprentice Xiao Sun led Cheng Ye into the house.

The first thing you smell is the strong aroma of medicinal herbs.

"Officer Cheng."

"Today I will refine a heat-clearing pill, which has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying."

"Our Nanming Prefecture is located south of Datang, where the weather is hot and humid, making it easy for dampness and toxins to accumulate in the human body."

"Therefore, the sales of this heat-clearing pill are very good."

Cheng Ye has been making some surprising remarks these past few days.

But even so.

Zhou Yu showed no sign of blame.

This relationship is so close that it even surpasses that between myself and Zhou Yu!

I've been following Zhou Yu since I was twelve years old!

Therefore.

Xiao Sun was very enthusiastic towards Cheng Ye.

"The heat-clearing pill is not difficult to make; it can be said to be one of the simplest pills to make."

"Chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, sophora japonica flowers, with licorice root..."

Xiao Sun had three years of experience in refining heat-clearing pills, and he easily selected the appropriate medicinal materials.

"The next step is the initial processing."

Which ingredients need to be ground into powder, and which need to be soaked beforehand...?

Cheng stood aside, watching each step intently.

"alright."

After letting out a sigh of relief, Xiao Sun said to Cheng Ye:

"Whether it's processing these medicinal herbs before refining the pills or tending the furnace fire afterwards, it's extremely mentally taxing."

"The higher one's cultivation level, the more composed one becomes."

As he spoke, Xiao Sun gave a self-deprecating laugh:

"My cultivation aptitude is not high; I am only at the ninth rank of the mortal realm."

"It often takes half a day to refine a batch of heat-clearing pills."

"But Master Zhou only needs one hour."

"I wonder when I will be able to cultivate to the second rank and participate in the 'Three Examinations of Alchemists'."

After chatting for a while and calming down, Xiao Sun began the second step of refining the elixir.

"Master Zhou can use any kind of firewood when refining elixirs."

"His control over the furnace fire is already superb."

"I use treated pine wood and silver charcoal to refine the heat-clearing pills."

Spread a flat layer of silver charcoal under the alchemy furnace, then light pine wood and place it under the silver charcoal.

call!

As air was forced in, bursts of heat instantly circulated throughout the room.

"I've heard that those powerful cultivators who have mastered True Qi and entered the True Martial realm can directly use True Qi to refine elixirs!"

Speaking of it.

Sun's eyes revealed boundless longing.

He quickly came to his senses, his face became serious, he even closed his mouth tightly, and his muscles involuntarily tensed up.

The person was like a puppet; every movement was, to put it nicely, standard, but to put it bluntly, rigid.

The temperature inside the alchemy room was rising steadily.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief when the last ingredient was placed into the medicine furnace by Xiao Sun.

He took a towel from his sleeve and wiped away the sweat from his brow.

Outsiders may think alchemists have an extraordinary status, but the path is fraught with difficulties!

I took the time to say this.

Next.

Xiao Sun stared intently at the fire beneath the medicine furnace.

If the fire gets too hot, remove the pine wood; if it gets too cold, quickly blow air into the fire.

After a flurry of activity, it was past noon.

Xiao Sun took out all the pine wood and silver charcoal and cleaned them.

Once the residual heat in the medicine furnace had completely dissipated, he suddenly relaxed, like a person who had been tense to the extreme.

Xiao Sun was pale and extremely exhausted.

"call!"

"This time, about 50% of the pills should be of good quality."

Take a short break.

He opened the medicine furnace, and two aromas mingled and wafted out.

One had a "cool" medicinal aroma, while the other had a burnt smell.

"really!"

After counting the pills and pills that were in good condition, Xiao Sun smiled.

I did not embarrass Master Zhou this time in refining the elixir.

"Normally, an apprentice like me can only refine 40% of the pills to be of good quality."

"It's just the simplest heat-clearing pill."

He handed a heat-clearing pill the size of a soybean to Cheng Ye, and then put one in his own mouth as well.

The pill melts in your mouth, with a slight bitterness followed by a subtle sweetness.

After taking the pill, I felt a change in my body from "heavy" to "light".

The fatigue on Xiao Sun's face had also diminished considerably.

"Brother Sun."

"This heat-clearing pill is of very good quality."

Apprentice Xiao Sun immediately put on a reserved smile:

"Compared to Master Zhou, he is still far behind."

At this time.

Cheng Ye suddenly changed the subject:

"Can I try?"

As he spoke, Cheng also took out the newly issued silver notes:

"I'll cover all the losses."

Looking at the silver notes in front of him, Xiao Sun was somewhat at a loss. He stammered for a while:

"Officer Cheng."

"That's against the rules."

"You haven't laid a solid foundation, yet you rashly attempt to refine pills..."

Cheng Ye interrupted Xiao Sun, and the latter said with a smile:

"Brother Sun."

"I'll just give it a try. You watch from the side, and if anything goes wrong, I'll stop immediately."

"After this time..."

"After I return to Changning County, it will be difficult for me to have the opportunity to touch this medicine furnace in person again."

Cheng Ye's words were very sincere. After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Sun finally gritted his teeth and decided to try to get along with Cheng Ye.

"Officer Cheng."

"If I say stop, you must stop immediately!"

Cheng nodded and patted his chest lightly:

"Brother Sun, you can rest assured."
