C17 Apprentice Furnace
Chang Sheng looked at the brilliant smile on the ethereal face, opened his mouth, and imitated the ethereal look on the face, he started laughing, laughing in a daze.
The two of them smiled as they returned to Chang Residence. One of them laughed like a flower while the other laughed until he was dumb and dumb.
After returning to the manor, Fen Juechen immediately rushed to report to the patriarch about what had happened today. Chang Sheng took the herbs and slowly returned to the dao room.
He already had all the ingredients needed to concoct pills, but he was still missing something – the pill concocting furnace. The success rate of concocting pills and the quality of the pills would have a lot to do with the furnace. All the alchemists were looking for the highest quality alchemy furnace, and every alchemist master had at least one top quality alchemy furnace, such as the number one alchemist in Immortal Realm or Heavenly Pill Taoist Sovereign's alchemy furnace. The value of his most precious alchemy furnace was equivalent to a supreme treasure.
"It's a pity that the pill furnace is not as easy to obtain as medicinal ingredients." Chang Sheng shook his head, placed the ingredients on the table in his room, and walked out of the room. He wanted to look for a pill furnace, and as for the herbs in the room, there was a precedent for Zhang Shan, so who would dare to randomly run into his room to touch his things!
Chang Sheng is walking in his yard, and his head is aching. Where can I go to find a furnace?" Before he bought the medicinal herbs on the streets, he had been strolling around for a long time, but he couldn't find a person who sold pill furnaces.
As he was walking, Chang Sheng unknowingly walked to his house, a place to take care of trash. Several servants were placing objects that were of no value on the carriage. Some were holding broken vases, some were holding broken wooden tables, and there was a servant holding something the size of a pillow.
"Pill Forging Furnace!"
Chang Sheng was shocked, and shouted from afar: "Don't move, don't move, that treasure is left for me."
The sudden shout startled a few servants. The servant who was holding the broken vase trembled in fear, and the vase in his hand fell to the ground.
"Bang!" The few servants, who were already taken aback by the sound, shuddered. They didn't even get the items in their hands properly and dropped them to the ground. Amongst them, there was an object that resembled a cauldron!
"My baby!" Chang Sheng facepalmed, shouted loudly, and pounced forward, picking up what seemed to be a pill furnace from the ground.
"Hmm? "It really is a pill furnace. It's just that this is a pill furnace that's been prepared for a little girl who has just started learning pill refining techniques."
Chang Sheng looked at the pill furnace in his hands and finally understood why this furnace was treated as useless.
For example, this type of pill furnace was also known as the Apprentice Furnace. As it was meant for apprentices to practice using, it was made from the most common materials, and there was no need to make it. Anyway, as long as he could light a fire and plant herbs in it, he would be able to get the pills out eventually. As for the other uses, this kind of alchemy furnace did not have any, moreover, this alchemy furnace did not even have the most basic Spirit Convergence Array. As for the other uses of refining, this kind of alchemy furnace did not have any, and this alchemy furnace did not even have the most basic Spirit Convergence Array.
Looking at the furnace again, the lid couldn't be found, only leaving the entire furnace body. Moreover, the interior was a bit slippery, and the entire furnace wall was thin, thin, and thick. It was unknown just how many times this furnace had been used. Such an apprentice furnace had been used by many people before. Even an apprentice apothecary wouldn't want to use it. It was useless to keep it. At most, it would just be sold as scrap metal!
"But, forget it, I'll just use the apprentice furnace. Back when I first arrived at Immortal Realm, I've used this kind of furnace. As for the Spirit Convergence Array, I'll just have to place one of them myself."
After Chang Sheng fell down, one of the walls of the furnace had caved in, becoming even more broken, there was nothing for the disciples to use, it was only the size of a pillow with a stove lid missing. Raising his head, he used a voice loud enough to be heard by a few servants, muttering to himself, "This is it, I'm just using this furnace to put the captured crickets away.
With that, Chang Sheng ran off with the apprentice pill furnace in his hands, leaving behind a few servants looking at each other.
This was the forbidden grounds of the family. Aside from Patriarch Chang Qianyi, a few clan elders, and the most important guest in the family, Fang Xianyun and her junior brothers, junior sisters, disciples, and daughters, no one was allowed to enter this place.
In the middle of the courtyard, outside the biggest room, Chang Qianyi was quietly listening to what happened today. He gently nodded and said: "Don't worry, Sheng Er has already reached the peak of level 10, adding your mother and I, our Chang Jia will not be afraid of their Luo Family in the battlefield. Now, as long as your mother can refine the Qi Condensation Pill, we Chang Jia will be able to suppress our Luo Family."
"Then how is your mother's research now?"
"I heard that he has already restored half of the pill formula." Half of the pill formulas, and this was held by the ethereal mother and junior brothers to begin with. Out of forty-eight of the forty-nine pill recipes, the group of them spent close to a month's time to come up with another half of the pill formula.
At this rate, if he did not get the pill formula from someone else, perhaps his ethereal mother would never be able to complete the Qi Condensation Pill's formula in her entire life.
Chang Qianyi sighed, studying pill formulas was simply too difficult, and not only did he have to be familiar with the effects, he also had to know the theory behind refining pills. Just based on this alone, he did not know how many people, and many pill refiners only knew how to refine pills using the method, but they had never known how to do so in their entire lives, not because they did not want to understand it, but because they did not understand it!
Any one of the lowest level First Rank pills would cost close to a hundred types of medicinal herbs, and there was not only a single medicinal ingredient among them. There were also many people who wrote down pill formulas, but due to their various considerations, they intentionally neutralized each other with their pill formulas so as to not affect the medicinal herbs used in the pill.
Even if one was familiar with the properties of medicinal herbs, it didn't mean that one was able to successfully study a pill. At least a low tier pill required a hundred types, hundreds of types, and at the very least, thousands of types of medicinal herbs needed to be added at different times, many of them couldn't be added all at once. Some needed to be added at different times, some needed to be added at different times, some needed to be added with one medicinal herb at the beginning, and some needed to be added with another soon.
Every time it was added, he had to grasp the amount to add. Every extra coin meant a lower price, and it would result in a failure in concocting the pills. He even had to calculate the temperature of the flame when adding it. Even a little temperature difference could cause the refinement to fail!
In the entire Divine Continent, everyone knew that apothecaries were the most respected, the least troublesome, and the richest profession. Countless people, including him, had tried hard to become an apothecary, but the number of true apothecaries was pitifully few.
Thinking about the importance of refining pills, Chang Qianyi looked at Misty Heaven, and said sincerely: "Misty, there are countless people who want to find an alchemist, and can't get one. Your mother is a true alchemist, and you can't keep refusing such a good opportunity to learn. "Don't always say that you don't have the talent to concoct pills, and don't learn. You should know that diligence can make up for incompetence."
"Yes, Misty knows."
With a bitter face, she followed Chang Qian into the room. She knew that it would be bad if she talked about alchemy in front of the clan leader. The clan leader had asked her to learn alchemy from her mother, but she had no talent in it.
In the middle of the room, beside a pill furnace that was as thick as a big tree that had three people holding each other's arms, three pill refiners held a huge fan in their hands, and were fanning themselves crazily. Behind them, there were three children resting on the side. The three who were fanning were tired, and for this group of people to be replaced, the children must always have sufficient physical strength and follow the Alchemy Master's instructions to fan the cattail leaf.
Beside the boy, there was a beautiful young woman who looked like she was in a dream. She stared at the temperature of the fire and the time she spent counting the time. She didn't know that there were a few more people in the room. In the entire room, no one dared to disturb her, even Chang Qianyi, the Chang Jia Family Patriarch. One of the rules of Chang Jia's family was that in this room, the beautiful woman was the oldest.
In the room, no one dared to breathe out. If they wanted to cough, they would have to run out to cough, and come back after coughing. This was because if they disturbed the beautiful woman and distracted her a little, it would lead to failure!
"Quick, make it bigger!"
Looking at the degree of the incense burning, the beautiful woman suddenly cried out and instructed the boy to increase the intensity of the flame. At the same time, she carefully took out the already weighed herbs from a nearby table and poured them into the furnace bit by bit.
In the center of Chang Jia's courtyard, after Chang Sheng obtained the apprentice pill furnace, on his way back to his room, he found a bronze censer accessory in the corner of the hall. He realised that the censer's lid was only slightly larger than his own apprentice pill furnace, and was just enough to be used as the furnace lid.
Returning to his room, Chang Sheng locked his room door. He could not let others know that he knew how to refine pills, so he could only hide in his own room and refine pills.
After he took out the last time the Fire and Water Lock was exhausted, Chang Qianyi gave him another Calculi. He broke it open with his bare hands and injected spirit energy into the disciple furnace.
"Ah, the conditions are really crude. Moreover, the Spirit Convergence Array needs to be fixed properly to prevent the fire from moving, so the only way is to use brute force to push it to the bottom of the pill furnace. However, this way, this pill furnace can only be used once.
