"Ha, that's exactly what I was going to say."
Heiyang clapped his hands with a smile to attract Xiaohuo's attention.
“Nirvana Fire itself is a spiritual fire of very high quality, and because it contains rich vitality, it can be even more helpful in refining healing pills.
It just so happens that the Shengxi Pill here is such a healing pill, and it is an advanced healing pill at that. It has mild medicinal properties and a wide range of applications.
However, its refining process is rather complicated, and the control method of Dan Huo is extremely strict. It can be used as a test of small fire, right? "
"I don't ask for the ability to refine a top-grade elixir perfectly. As long as the process performs well, it can be considered as a qualified small fire. Of course, it would be best if it can be refined."
Heiyang smiled and stretched out a finger.
“Also, because of its universality, it is sold at a high price in the spiritual community.
So, dad, after you finish the test, I will also prepare a few furnaces of Dantu Yaowang Sect's friends to help sell them and increase the family income."
"Eh? Selling pills?"
Xiao Huo asked curiously, "Dad wants to hide some private money too?"
"Ah this..."
A row of black lines appeared on Heiyang's head.
"Pah, pah, pah, what are you talking about!"
Hei Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and couldn't help but complain: "With your mother's character, she wants me to feed her even when she has to eat. Do you think she is the kind of person who would care about how much money the family has?"
Of course, there was something that Heiyang didn't say, because Hongli hardly cared about how much money there was at home, so she always thought that her family didn't have much money left. Whenever Heiyang accidentally scratched a sofa cushion, she would shout in pain that he was a spendthrift.
One doesn’t know how expensive firewood and rice are until he or she manages the household. Hongli has been stingy since she was a child.
In terms of consumption, she is at completely different extremes from Heiyang's mother Qing Yiyi.
Of course, Heiyang's mother has actually always been the one who earns the most in the family, much more than his father who works all day, so in a sense, his father Hei Muguang is a gigolo, cough cough...
Heiyang didn't know where his wife Xiaoli learned to be so stingy, since her father-in-law and mother-in-law had given her a lot of money to spend when she was a child.
Or maybe it's just that he loves the things at home, which has evolved into being stingy.
Heiyang could probably guess where this came from. Hongli would feel upset for a long time if she accidentally folded a corner of her book.
"So, how could I possibly hide any private money?"
Heiyang laughed helplessly and explained, "Although we don't have much financial pressure right now, we can't just live off our savings and spend more than we earn. We have to replenish our family's piggy bank occasionally, otherwise our whole family might end up sleeping in cardboard boxes in the alley in the future..."
"Then give Xiaohuo's newspapers to mom and dad!"
"Dad, I am really touched."
Heiyang smiled and waved his hand, then he touched Xiaohuo's little head. Looking at Xiaohuo's hair which had suddenly grown a lot longer, he muttered, "Dad will braid your hair for you later. Don't be like your mom who always lets her hair down and thinks she has long, straight black hair."
"Hey, hey, dad is secretly saying bad things about mom behind her back."
Xiao Huo looked at his father with a smile and said, "After Xiao Huo tells the secret, Dad will be in trouble."
"Good boy, backstabbing dad can be passed down as a family tradition, right..."
Heiyang couldn't help but complain, pretending to look at Xiaohuo viciously and threatening her: "Then before Dad gets into trouble, let Xiaohuo get into trouble first!"
"Hey hey hey..."
Xiao Huo tried to get away with it, but suddenly he thought of something and said, "But then again, Grandpa has some private money!"
"uh-huh."
Heiyang nodded calmly, disapprovingly.
“Because your grandmother was afraid that your grandfather would spend the money on alcohol, she asked him to hand it over ‘voluntarily’.
In fact, your grandmother earns in a day what your grandfather earns in a month, so she doesn't care about that much at all.
But in order to let him control the amount of drinking, he still has to be controlled. He can spend money if he wants, but it must be for a legitimate reason.
Your grandma said that even if your grandpa wants to develop a hobby, such as fishing, he can ask her for money, but he can't buy alcohol."
"Ah this..."
Xiao Huo showed his half-moon eyes and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Is drinking really not a good habit?"
"Anyway, your mother and I can't drink."
Heiyang shook his head, placed three or four storage bags aside, and took out the medicinal herbs stored in them.
“These are the medicinal materials for refining Shengxi Pills. Except for one of the main ingredients which is a bit more expensive, the others are very common medicines.
But once the elixir is refined, the profit will be hundreds or thousands of times higher. It is a relatively profitable business. If you learn from your father, you won’t end up living in a small alley in the future..."
"I've already told you! Xiao Huo doesn't live in a small alley!"
"Ah, yes, yes."
Heiyang coughed twice and showed a serious expression.
"Okay, now watch carefully. Dad will teach you step by step a few times. You should learn and take notes while looking at the recipe. Mainly record how I control the flames at different time stages and the order in which the herbs are placed.
You can also ask me some questions, such as what to do if you encounter special situations, etc. Don't pretend to know something when you don't. Remember it, because when you do it yourself, the knowledge in your head can't deceive yourself. "
"Oh, Xiaohuo understands!"
Xiaohuo nodded repeatedly, watching his father Heiyang casually throw out a ball of Nirvana Fire and ignite it under the alchemy furnace. He seemed very skilled in how and when to put various medicinal materials in. It seemed that he could successfully refine the pill without even looking at the recipe.
“Having said that, I think we can change a few steps here, so that the effect will be better, but Xiaohuo, you don’t have to force yourself to learn from your father.
Look at my operation, and then look at what is written on the recipe. Just compare the two and understand them. There is no need to ask why my father's steps are different from those on the recipe."
Hei Yang said leisurely: "It's normal if it's different. After all, my father is more experienced in this field. He can do things in a comfortable way and skip many tedious steps.
Xiaohuo only needs to learn his father's techniques and the descriptions of the various sizes of fire. He doesn't need to imitate his father. He can just follow the recipe and copy it. It won't be a big problem!"
"Oh, alright!"
Xiaohuo nodded repeatedly, and time passed quickly.
What impressed Xiaohuo was that even when his father was refining the elixir, he was able to multitask and explain it to him in a casual manner, and he did it with ease.
Unlike her, just recording these knowledge points is very hard and takes up a lot of energy.
She is now at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Stage. It should be basic for her to remember everything she sees and hears, but there are too many key points.
At this moment, Xiaohuo felt like he was holding a textbook for a four or five-year-old child and listening to his father explaining fifteen or sixteen pieces of knowledge. There was a kind of hazy beauty, but he could hardly understand what his father was saying.
Fortunately, although Heiyang does not have much teaching experience, he was not good at explaining questions to students in school.
But when it comes to his own daughter, Heiyang is still very patient.
He constantly adjusted the difficulty of teaching according to Xiaohuo's acceptance level.
Until it reaches a suitable level, Xiaohuo can no longer lower the difficulty level. After all, Heiyang can love his children but cannot spoil them!
In this regard, Heiyang has always learned from his mother Qing Yiyi.
Although he always complained about being too sleepy when he got up in the morning, his mother's teaching methods, both soft and hard, made Heiyang clearly feel that his mother was doing it for his own good, and that she really cared about him from his perspective.
Instead of leaving you with a bunch of tedious tasks, you are given a set time to complete them. Even if you finish them ahead of time, you cannot rest and have to do more tasks.
Heiyang has experience in this regard. When he was in junior high school, he could finish his homework several days in advance. But in high school, it was difficult to finish his homework every day.
The teacher once told them honestly that homework is given with the goal of making them unable to finish it, so that students can work hard every minute.
Just like after completing a task at work, you cannot let your boss see you taking a break. No matter whether you have finished the work or not, you cannot take a break, otherwise you will feel guilty of "wasting time and wasting your life". Working overtime does not necessarily allow you to get more done, but you have to "make good use of every minute of your time."
I don't know how normal rest can be considered a waste of time. Isn't it just excessive labor that kills life...
Heiyang no longer thought about the past events, as it was of no use to him to think about them.
All he can do is to take care of his children's emotions when educating them.
The so-called elite education cannot be achieved by simply spending time on it.
Of course, if you don’t want to spend any time on studying, that’s another story.
If Xiaohuo listened to them and stayed at home with her parents, Heiyang Hongli would respect her choice and would have no problem protecting the child for the rest of her life.
But since Xiaohuo still has some ambition in his heart, Heiyang Hongli will not pour cold water on the child.
Just like his parents respect Heiyang Hongli's way of life and choose to give him patient love.
Then Heiyang Hongli can also have this kind of patience towards Xiaohuo, who has different ideas from them.
After all, parents always hope that their children can be stronger than themselves, or live a happier life.
Then if the child has the same ideas as you, how can he surpass his parents?
"The third furnace!"
Heiyang slapped the alchemy furnace and opened it. Amid Xiaohuo's amazement, dozens of pills flew out and fell into a container beside them.
The rich fragrance of the elixir lasted only for a moment, but was still caught by Xiaohuo's sensitive little nose. He took a deep breath and showed an expression of enjoyment.
"Dad is so awesome!"
"Of course."
Heiyang placed the third bottle next to the first two bottles of pills. It looked like a bottle of candy beans and there was nothing visually appealing about it. However, if it were sold at the price, one bottle could be exchanged for the airship that Heiyang Hongli drove back from the Five Elements Sect.
"Okay, it's your turn!"
Heiyang moved back, handed the control to Xiaohuo, and said with a smile: "Come on, Xiaohuo!"
"what……"
Xiaohuo was stunned for a moment, then nodded firmly.
"Yes! Xiaohuo can definitely do it!"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 383 The future is always hidden in the fog. Only by stepping into it can we see clearly...
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the aftermath of the explosion hit an invisible protective shield, causing a few ripples before quickly disappearing.
The smoke dissipated, revealing the expressionless Heiyang Xiaohuo behind the shield. The father and daughter watched another furnace of medicinal materials being wasted in silence.
"Ahem, that..."
Xiao Huo stuck out his tongue and said maliciously, "It's still a little difficult!"
"Yeah yeah……"
Hei Yang showed his half-moon eyes and said with a chuckle: "Hei Xiao Huo, this is already the sixth furnace, do you want to continue?"
"continue!"
Xiao Huo raised his fist and clenched it tightly, his eyes burning with fire. He said unconvincedly, "Xiao Huo doesn't believe it. It's just a Shengxi Pill. Can't Xiao Huo refine it?"
"Dad, you saw it too!"
Xiao Huo turned his head to look at Hei Yang, and said seriously: "Is Xiao Huo's Nirvana Fire performing well?
Even if there are some minor mistakes, it means Xiaohuo has studied hard, right? "
"That's true..."
Heiyang thought about it, nodded in agreement, and gave Xiaohuo a thumbs up.
"To be honest, just looking at the use of Nirvana Fire, it's really good."
"Well, maybe the difficulty of refining the elixir is still a little bit too great..."
Heiyang stroked his chin and thought: "How about considering Xiaohuo as having passed? Or lowering the difficulty a bit?"
"Ha! That's totally unnecessary!"
Xiao Huo snorted softly: "I, Hei Xiao Huo, must do my best when I do something. Half-hearted people can only deceive themselves, and they will be dumbfounded when they need to be. "
"Okay! Be ambitious!"
Heiyang was moved by Xiaohuo's persistence. He took out several storage bags from his body and put them aside, and said: "These herbs are for you, Xiaohuo. When you are done, tell dad and I will make more for you.
As long as you have the willpower and perseverance, Dad will accompany you to the end and help you max out your alchemy proficiency!"
"Of course, be careful!"
