Chapter 143 Alchemy Competition (Happy New Year)

When Steward Lu heard Han Li's words, he frowned imperceptibly, but he quickly returned to his natural state.

"Treasurer Lu, you can rest assured that all the expenses for the competition will be borne by me," Han Li added.

"Since seniors have said so, our Qianyao Zhai will naturally not discourage seniors, please." After hearing this, Steward Lu said without any hesitation.

After all, he took the first step, walked out of the door, took Han Li downstairs, went out from the back hall on the first floor, walked along a hand-painted corridor, and walked towards the backyard.

There is a circular arch deep in the back yard, which isolates the front yard.

Before reaching the arch, Han Li felt a layer of transparent light floating in the void inside the door, from which there were bursts of obvious spatial fluctuations, which seemed to be a teleportation circle.

When he got closer, Steward Lu stopped, turned around and said to Han Li, "Senior, wait here for a while, I'll go and inform you first."

After finishing speaking, he turned his hand and took out a purple token, and waved it towards the void in the direction of the arch, and a bright light suddenly lit up inside the door opening.

With a stride, he walked into the doorway, and then his figure disappeared.

After Han Li surveyed his surroundings for a while, he saw the light inside the door opening again, and at the same time, Guanshi Lu's voice came from it:

"Senior, please come in."

Upon hearing the sound, Han Li stepped into the doorway.

As soon as he entered it, he felt hot all over his body, and he also smelled a strong and mixed smell of elixir in his nose.

After looking around, he found that they seemed to be in a hall similar to an underground palace, surrounded by several spacious alleyways leading to all directions.

On the walls on both sides of the alleyway, there are bronze doors that are about ten feet high, and there are faint lights of fire shining through them.

Before Han Li had a clear view of his surroundings, Steward Lu led him into one of the alleyways and came to a spacious guest room.

Sitting in the guest room was a red-haired old man of medium build, wearing a purple-black blouse, holding a tea bowl in one hand, and skimming the tea leaves with the bowl lid in the other hand.

Han Li glanced over and found that this person had a strong aura, and he was clearly a Mahayana cultivator.

Seeing the two people come in, the red-haired old man put down his tea bowl and stood up slowly.

Upon seeing this, Steward Lu introduced to Han Li:

"Senior, these are the masters of our Qianyaozhai. He is a first-class alchemy master. He promised to help you do this test."

"Then I would like to thank all the masters." Han Li saluted him after hearing the words.

The red-haired old man knew that Han Lixiu's aura was not weaker than his, so he didn't dare to neglect him, so he saluted slightly and said:

"Since fellow daoist wants to test his level of alchemy, then he and I will refine a Huayang pill that restores mana. By comparing the quality of the pill, we can determine the level of fellow daoist."

"Huayang Pill? I don't know the composition of this elixir. I don't know if Guizhai can sell it?" Han Li frowned slightly and asked.

"oh?"

Hearing this, the red-haired old man was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect that Han Li would not even know about this pill, so he couldn't help but underestimate him.

"You don't need to buy it. Although Huayang Pill is a high-grade human-level pill, its formula is widely spread in the nearby sea area. It can be obtained from many places, but it is not worth much, so I will give it to Dao friendly."

After the red-haired old man finished speaking, with a flick of his wrist, a white jade slip flew lightly in front of Han Li.

Han Li took it over and swept his consciousness away, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This prescription does not require money, but the medicinal materials used in this prescription are all expensive, and he still has to spend money to buy two copies, which is really a lot of money.

Then, the red-haired old man began to explain to him some precautions for refining Huayang Dan.

Han Li listened carefully, nodded slightly, and silently memorized all of them. At the same time, he began to deliberate on the steps of adding the elixir and the heating time in his heart based on past experience.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the two of them took the storage bags that had been prepared from Steward Lu, which contained the elixir needed to refine Huayang Pill, and each walked into an alchemy room.

There was only a sound of "clang clang", and the heavy bronze door was closed.

Han Li took a look at the indoor environment, and found that the alchemy room here was indeed somewhat different from the ones he had seen in the spirit world.

There are almost no furnishings in the room, only a red copper alchemy furnace with a height of one person is placed in the center. There is no fire pit on the ground, and there are no runes to ignite the fire on the furnace body.

On the surrounding walls and ground, there are many complex runes carved, which seem to be some kind of prohibition that can condense and seal the spiritual energy in the room.

He only watched it for a moment, then collected his mind and prepared to start alchemy.

He raised his palm, snapped his fingers with a "snap", and a silvery white flame flew into the alchemy furnace like a bird.

There was a sound of "huh".

Inside the alchemy furnace, raging silver flames suddenly rose.

After about a cup of tea, and after the temperature in the pill furnace had risen sufficiently, Han Li began to add elixir to the pill furnace one by one.

As the elixir plants flew into the furnace, a strange medicinal fragrance began to fill the alchemy room.

After about an hour, Han Li only heard a soft "pop" sound from inside the pill furnace, and Han Li saw a cloud of lavender mist rising from the gap on the top of the pill furnace, gathering above the pill furnace, condensing Not scattered, very strange.

According to what the red-haired old man said before, it's time to add Cloud Transformation Grass to it.

But when Han Li held the pale white spirit grass in his hand, he hesitated a little.

From the human world to the spiritual world, he did not know how many elixirs he had refined. The combination of all the ingredients used in the elixir can be summed up in the phrase "monarch, minister and assistant envoy". , so as to reconcile the medicine.

This Yunhua grass is not a unique elixir in the fairy world. He has used it before in the spiritual world. He knows that this medicine is mild in nature. Danzhong is no exception.

But at this time, purple mist has just risen in the pill furnace, indicating that the medicinal properties of the previous medicines have just begun to diverge, and it has not yet reached the time when they need to be reconciled. It is definitely not the best time to put in the cloud-forming grass at this time, so he hesitated .

But soon, he made a decision and insisted on his own views.

After another half an hour, when the purple mist in the alchemy furnace changed from light to thick, Han Li immediately raised the furnace cover and added the cloud-forming grass into it.

As bursts of strong medicinal fragrance wafted out of his nostrils, Han Li also showed a look of joy in his eyes.

At this time, a light suddenly lit up on the surrounding walls, and the patterns engraved on it started to work by themselves.

A small vortex suddenly formed in the entire alchemy room, engulfing the spiritual power escaped from the elixir, and gathered towards the elixir furnace.

...

Two hours later, the red-haired old man walked out of the alchemy room and stood with Steward Lu, waiting outside Han Li's alchemy room.

After another quarter of an hour, the bronze door on Han Li's side also slowly opened, and he walked out holding a white porcelain bottle in his hand.

Seeing this, Steward Lu said with a smile:

"It seems that the senior has also successfully refined it, congratulations."

"I don't know the grade yet, so I'd like to ask Guanshi Lu and the masters to taste it for you." Han Li handed over the porcelain bottle and said.

Manager Lu took it, pulled out the cork, and a strong medicinal fragrance immediately escaped from it.

After the red-haired old man smelled it, his expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but move closer to Steward Lu's side, looking at the elixir Han Li had refined.

At this time, in the left and right hands of Manager Lu, there are three Huayang pills refined by the two of them. The appearance does not look much different, but Han Li's pill seems to be smaller. .

Han Li cast his eyes on the red-haired old man, and was about to ask, when he sighed silently, turned around and left.

When Steward Lu saw this, he didn't stop him. After his back disappeared at the end of the alley, he said to Han Li with a slightly weird expression:

"Don't blame the seniors, these masters are... a little hit."

When Han Li heard the words, he already understood what he meant, smiled and waved his hands, and said, "Then let Guanshi Lu come to judge."

"If it is true as what senior said before, if you have never been in contact with high-level pills in the fairy world before, then senior is really a good talent in alchemy. Senior's control of the fire is really extremely precise, and he can put these three Huayang pills It removes all the impurities, but it does not harm the potency of the medicine at all... This is even higher than the quality of the pills refined by the masters." Although Lu Guanshi is not good at alchemy, he seems to have a bit of knowledge about pills Research, he said now.

"From this point of view, what level should I be among the alchemists in the fairy world?" Han Li asked with a slight smile.

"Although Huayang Pill was only refined, but judging from the quality of this pill, senior is already a first-class alchemist without fear." Steward Lu said solemnly.

After hearing this, Han Li nodded thoughtfully.

In fact, although he hasn't fully developed his ability to refine such a elixir, the complexity and difficulty of refining this elixir are no longer inferior to those of the top elixir in the spirit world.

If calculated according to this, the alchemy attainments that he was once proud of are probably equivalent to an alchemy master of the third rank in the fairy world.

"Actually, with the current alchemy attainments of seniors, it may not be impossible to become a ground-level alchemist in the future." Seeing that Han Li didn't show any excitement, Guan Shi couldn't help but feel a little bit of flattery in his heart.

"Hehe, then I'll take advantage of Fellow Daoist Lu's good words." Han Li responded in this way, and immediately made up his mind secretly.

He will definitely become a Heavenly Alchemist in the future, so that as long as he finds a suitable formula for Dao Dan, he can refine the mysterious crystal grains produced by the vial into Dao Dan.

After all, for the future, the spiritual material of abnormal laws is cherished, but for him, it is much less difficult to obtain.

"I don't know if senior is planning to live in Black Wind City for a long time, or just staying temporarily?" Steward Lu hesitated for a moment and asked.

When Han Li heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Upon seeing this, Steward Lu quickly explained:

"Senior, please don't get me wrong. This junior just wants to invite you to join us in Qianyaozhai and become an alchemist. I believe that with the alchemy level of senior, he will soon become a high-level alchemist second only to Master Hao. By then..."

Han Li waved his hand, interrupted his words, and said: "I'm just staying here for a while, and I won't be staying for long. I can only appreciate the kindness of friends."

Guanshi Lu saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, so he could only sigh a few times as a pity, and let it go.

After that, Han Li bought some Wangyuan Pills, and after paying off the cost of refining Huayang Pills, he didn't want to stay any longer, and left.

Of course, he and the red-haired old man refined the six Huayang Pills, and naturally he also put them away and took them away.
