Lu Qingxuan drove the flying car and soon arrived at a commercial district in Jinghai City. Lu Qingxuan's family's company was located in this commercial district.
There was an independent office building. Although it was only rented, it could be seen that Lu Qingxuan's family's company had a good revenue. If it wasn't for Chu Zhiguo's interference, it obviously wouldn't have fallen into such a predicament.
Chu Yunfan followed Lu Qingxuan into the company and saw some clues. The building looked rather deserted. Although it was a weekend, there was not even a single person left to stay behind. Clearly, the company had encountered some problems with its operations.
Soon, Chu Yunfan followed Lu Qingxuan to the company's underground alchemy room. Her company's business was related to elixirs and medicinal materials. She usually refined elixirs and sold them, but after the two alchemists in the company jumped ship, this place was no longer open.
However, the entire alchemy room had adopted the most advanced dust-free mode, so even if it hadn't been opened for a while, it was still as clean as new.
In the corner of the alchemy room, various medicinal materials for refining the Body Forging Pill were piled up like a mountain.
Chu Yunfan glanced at it and said, "Are you planning to refine a hundred Body Forging Pills?"
"How did you know? I don't think I mentioned it to you before!"
Lu Qingxuan looked at Chu Yunfan in astonishment. Along the way, she didn't mention how many Body Forging Pills she wanted to refine. She only said that it was a batch.
Chu Yunfan stood with his hands behind his back. He was just checking the freshness of these medicinal materials. He just answered casually, "This is just a basic skill, it's nothing!"
Although Lu Qingxuan still didn't trust Chu Yunfan, Chu Yunfan's magical performance of seeing how many Body Forging Pills she wanted to refine at a glance made Lu Qingxuan trust Chu Yunfan a little more.
"This is the first time we've cooperated, so it's inevitable that there is some distrust between us. I'll help you refine a Body Forging Pill first. After you see my skills, we'll talk about the next cooperation!" Chu Yunfan said bluntly. He knew that it would be a little difficult for Lu Qingxuan to trust him so much, so he might as well do it directly and let her see for herself.
Chu Yunfan didn't care about Lu Qingxuan's suspicious gaze. He came to the front of the alchemy furnace, lit the fire, and added water. All of his actions were as smooth as flowing water, as if Chu Yunfan had really refined the elixir countless times.
"This posture is quite intimidating, but I wonder how strong he is!" Lu Qingxuan said doubtfully. She was not sure now. Even she was a little confused about Chu Yunfan's behavior. Did he know how to do it or not?
Soon, the water in the alchemy furnace was boiling. Chu Yunfan walked to the side and grabbed a pile of herbs, then threw them into the alchemy furnace.
"Hey, you don't even use a scale to measure the weight of the herbs. You just throw them in!"
Lu Qingxuan suddenly said in a hurry, speechless.
Although she didn't know how to refine elixirs, her company also had a long-term contract with two intermediate apprentice alchemists. She had also seen the two apprentice alchemists refining elixirs several times. They really wanted to be careful in every step. Every time, the time and the amount of herbs added were paid attention to. If there was a mistake, the effect of the elixir produced would be much worse.
The gap between alchemists was reflected here. It was not determined by the number of elixir recipes. The same elixir recipe, but the elixir refined by alchemists of different levels was simply a world of difference.
"Don't worry, it can't be wrong!" Chu Yunfan said confidently.
Seeing Chu Yunfan's confident look, Lu Qingxuan suddenly remembered that she had talked to the two alchemists in the company when she was chatting with them.
Like them, with the help of modern technology, they were actually rogue cultivators without a proper inheritance.
Some alchemists with a real inheritance could grab the required amount of herbs at will. They didn't need to use the inheritance of modern technology at all. However, the alchemists with such inheritance were actually very rare. Even they had only heard of them and had never seen them.
Could it be that Chu Yunfan was also an alchemist with such an inheritance?
After such a thought emerged in Lu Qingxuan's mind, she threw it out in an instant.
How could it be, looking at Chu Yunfan's appearance, it was obvious that he was an ordinary high school student. How could he be an alchemist with an inheritance?
Those people all had an inheritance and a great background. They had cooperation with major forces, major groups, and even the federal government. They didn't lack money at all.
How could he come here to help others refine elixirs for money? Thinking about it, it was impossible.
But she didn't know why, but in her heart, a little hope rose. If it was really what she thought, it would be great. Then, they could save their company that was about to go bankrupt.
Then she saw that Chu Yunfan didn't stare at the alchemy furnace at all. He just sat down and was actually practicing.
"Is it really okay if you don't stare at the fire like this?"
Chu Yunfan wasn't anxious, but Lu Qingxuan herself was anxious. Although she only put a slim hope on Chu Yunfan, she also hoped that Chu Yunfan could succeed.
"Don't worry, it's okay. I have refined this kind of body-forging elixir countless times. I won't make a mistake even if I close my eyes!" Chu Yunfan said faintly, then closed his eyes and meditated again.
At this time, he had already started refining the elixir. Even if Lu Qingxuan was insensible, she knew that she couldn't disturb him at this time. Although she was anxious, she could only watch. Then, something magical happened. Because she was about to remind Chu Yunfan to add other medicinal materials according to the time recorded in the elixir recipe, she saw that Chu Yunfan opened his eyes and began to add the medicinal materials.
It was actually without any mistakes. If it was only once, it would be fine, but for several times in a row, he opened his eyes and added the medicinal materials, or used the Heavenly Fire, or switched between the mode of civil and martial fire.
It was as if there was an automatic alarm clock in his body reminding him.
This couldn't help but make Lu Qingxuan feel amazed, and Chu Yunfan's somewhat magical performance also gradually increased Lu Qingxuan's confidence in him.
Finally, it was time for the elixir to be released. Chu Yunfan looked calm, but Lu Qingxuan's hands were clenched tightly, and even her fingers turned white from nervousness. This might be just a business for Chu Yunfan, but for her, it was very important. It was related to whether her company would go bankrupt or not.
Accompanied by a burst of white steam, the lid of the huge alchemy furnace automatically opened. Chu Yunfan, who was seeing the real thing for the first time, could not help but click his tongue in wonder. There were indeed many good things to learn from modern civilization.
In Danhuang's memory of the super-ancient civilization, it was not easy for an alchemist to open the alchemy furnace. Every time he opened the furnace, it would take a lot of effort.
A wave of medicinal fragrance wafted over. Chu Yunfan could tell from the medicinal fragrance that this Body Forging Pill was a success.
Lu Qingxuan quickly went forward and picked up the elixir. At this time, the elixir had just been formed, and it was still very hot, but Lu Qingxuan couldn't care so much. She also had a cultivation base, so after directly wrapping a layer of True Qi in her hand, she held it in her hand and looked at it.
Although she didn't understand alchemy, after all, she was also engaged in this business, so she still had the basic insight.
There was no doubt that this was a Body Forging Pill. In fact, judging from its color, it was 100% pure.
Lu Qingxuan suddenly looked at Chu Yunfan in shock. One must know that although the elixir was refined according to the same elixir recipe, because each alchemist's skill was different, when adding medicinal materials, even a few seconds late could affect the final product.
Generally speaking, the refined elixir could be considered qualified if it had 70% quality, and 80% quality was considered high-quality. As for above 90% quality, it was completely dependent on luck, and if one was lucky, they could refine one.
As for 100% quality, it could only be achieved if the various steps of alchemy were standard like in the textbooks, without the slightest mistake.
This definitely didn't mean that it could be refined with good luck, unless the understanding of the elixir was already deep in the bones.
Obviously, the young man in front of her had done it!
Lu Qingxuan looked at Chu Yunfan with an extremely shocked expression.
If Lu Qingxuan had suspected that Chu Yunfan was just talking big, then now that she saw with her own eyes that Chu Yunfan had refined a 100% quality Body Forging Pill, all her doubts disappeared.
Only incomparable shock was left in her heart. She knew how rare a 100% quality elixir was, and it couldn't be achieved with just good luck.
Because of this, she wanted to know what the background of this young man in front of her was!
Refining a Body Forging Pill was something that could be done by an intermediate alchemist apprentice, but to refine a 100% quality Body Forging Pill, she was afraid that only an official alchemist could do it.
"This …" Lu Qingxuan didn't know what to say for a while.
On the contrary, Chu Yunfan, who was next to her, said, "How is it? You've seen the quality, there shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"No problem, no problem. So you're a master, sorry for not recognizing you!" Lu Qingxuan quickly said.
Alchemists had a very high status in human society. Although only official alchemists could be called masters, generally, people were willing to call apprentice alchemists masters. Who wouldn't want to listen to good words?
However, Lu Qingxuan said it sincerely. At least when it came to refining Body Forging Pills, Chu Yunfan was indeed a master.
