"Father."
The blue-clothed girl looked at her father in a coquettish manner, "I'm sure you know how important a medicine furnace is to an alchemist. Since that's the case, let's be afraid of him. The Poison Dispelling Pill that I asked someone to buy was personally refined by him, so I have to thank him for removing the remaining poison from your body. "
Chu Chen had refined a Poison Dispelling Pill before, but he didn't expect the buyer to be this father and daughter pair.
"Oh? That pill was actually refined by him? " The middle-aged blacksmith was slightly stunned. After pondering for a moment, he nodded, "I originally thought that I wouldn't be able to find a Poison Dispelling Pill in a place like this. Speaking of which, I owe this little brother a favor. Since that's the case, I'll make an exception this time."
"Thank you, senior."
Chu Chen was slightly stunned, then immediately became overjoyed.
"Kid, let's get the unpleasant words out of the way first." The middle-aged blacksmith came before Chu Chen with a dignified expression, "It's not a problem to make a medicine furnace for you. However, to refine this copper plate, I need to use my family's secret technique and spend a lot of effort to succeed. Moreover, it will be extremely difficult for me to refine this medicine furnace in my current state. "
"Thank you, senior."
"The favor you gave me for the medicinal pills, I'll use the furnace to repay you. However, the remuneration for the furnace cannot be lacking. I don't want any treasures, nor do I want any divine weapons, nor do I need any spirit stones or medicinal pills. I only want a piece of the rare Scarlet Blood Iron Crystal. "
"Scarlet Blood Iron Crystal? What's that? "Chu Chen was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
"It's a type of spirit iron that's completely red. It's very rare and can only be found in the depths of some ancient earth type iron ore veins. " The middle-aged blacksmith said and waved his hand, "Of course, since you've done me a favor, I won't make things difficult for you. The Scarlet Blood Iron Crystal is rather difficult to obtain and won't be found in a short period of time. I'll give you a year's time. As long as you give me the Scarlet Blood Iron Crystal within this year, it'll be the reward for refining this furnace. "
"Something from an iron ore vein?" Chu Chen was slightly stunned, but a hint of joy appeared on his face. If it were some other strange item, he wouldn't have dared to agree. However, as for iron ores … he had a small eagle avatar that specialized in eating iron! In the future, it wouldn't be difficult for Kitty's avatar to run to a few more iron ore veins and find that thing.
"Well, looking at your confident face, you seem to have some ideas." The middle-aged blacksmith nodded. "I won't ask you for a mortgage."
"Thank you, Senior."
"Are you going to provide the copper needed to make the furnace? Or do you want me to find it … I'll go find it. This is such a good fragment. It would be a waste if we don't have good copper." The middle-aged blacksmith frowned.
Chu Chen straightforwardly took out the Purple Cloud Black Copper from his storage ring, and placed it on the ground with a loud and clear sound.
The middle-aged blacksmith's eyes lit up. "Meteoric Copper? Where did you get it?"
"I bought it from the Copper Shop next door. It cost me five hundred spirit stones." Chu Chen answered honestly.
"Kid, your luck is too good. Not only do you have a fragment, but you also have a treasure like the Meteoric Copper." The middle-aged blacksmith half-knelt on the ground and carefully rubbed the black copper block. His eyes were filled with excitement.
"My luck is indeed good." Chu Chen couldn't possibly say that his spiritual sense was good.
"The Meteoric Copper contains the Qi of the stars. It is an excellent material for making furnaces. At normal prices, one thousand spirit stones wouldn't be able to buy a single gram of it. You actually spent five hundred spirit stones to buy five hundred kilograms of it. Your luck is beyond reason. Even I, who have forged iron my whole life, am jealous of you."
Chu Chen could only show a simple and honest smile that said, "Fortune favors fools."
"It will take about three days for the furnace to be ready. After three days, you can come and get it directly. "
The middle-aged blacksmith was a straightforward person. Chu Chen was immediately overjoyed. "In that case, I will have to trouble you, Senior. Oh right, if you or the young lady need any pills in the future, you can find me directly at You Leng Valley. "
The young lady in blue nodded with a smile.
The middle-aged blacksmith looked up at Chu Chen and frowned slightly. "You Leng Valley … is where your Elder Lingxin lives?"
"Yes." Chu Chen nodded.
However, a complicated look flashed across the middle-aged blacksmith's eyes. The corners of his mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something. In the end, he didn't say anything. He just nodded softly. "I understand."
Seeing that the sky was already bright, Chu Chen remembered that he still had five Foundation Fortifying Pills and ten Beauty Nourishing Pills to make today. Moreover, the appointed time with Senior Sister Qing Yue had already passed. He hurriedly rushed to You Leng Valley.
When he reached the Ancient Hall of Medicine Refinery, he saw a graceful figure who was already busy brewing spiritual soup, preparing the furnace and wiping the tools. Chu Chen was a little ashamed. "Sorry, Qing Yue. I was held up by something today. "
Qing Yue smiled slightly. "You have been busy these few days. It's okay. Hurry up and get ready. There are quite a lot of tasks today. I've heard about it from some of my senior and junior sisters, Little Medicine Saint. "
"Others don't know, but Qing Yue, how can you not know?" Chu Chen said faintly. "What Little Medicine Saint? It's just a joke. In front of you, I'll always be that little junior brother."
"Little fool!" Qing Yue's face turned slightly red. She rolled her eyes at him, but the corners of her mouth curved up unnaturally.
The Foundation Fortifying Pill was the most common, most frequently used and the least valuable pill among all the types of pills. This kind of pill could be refined by even an "apprentice apothecary" or someone who had a rough understanding of the harmonization and evolution of medicine.
Therefore, real pharmacists rarely made this kind of pill. This also led to a phenomenon: Although there were many Foundation Fortifying Pills, most of them were substandard or finished products. There were very few Foundation Fortifying Pills of good quality. Moreover, Foundation Fortifying Pills of precious quality were basically impossible to find.
The confident Chu Chen did not spend too much effort. In the time it took for an incense stick to burn, a "Foundation Fortifying Pill" was produced.
However, Chu Chen was surprised to find that it was of good quality. There were no mistakes in all the steps. Separating the medicine, washing the medicine, mixing the medicine, burning the medicine, melting the medicine, and condensing the medicine. Every step could be said to be perfect.
With doubts, Chu Chen quickly opened the furnace and made another pill. With a "ding", a medicinal mist rose and another good quality pill was produced.
This was really strange. Chu Chen could even easily make the high-grade "Flesh and Bone Healing Pill", which was used to heal injuries, into a precious quality pill. Now, he could only make a good quality pill when he refined the lowest and simplest Foundation Fortifying Pill. What kind of logic was this?
What exactly went wrong?
"What's wrong? I see you frowning. "
Senior Apprentice Sister Qing Yue walked over and looked at the two perfectly round Foundation Fortifying Pills on the disk. She could not help but be surprised. "Why didn't you refine the Beauty Nourishing Pill today? Why did you refine this pill instead?"
"A senior apprentice brother specially told me that I need a precious quality Foundation Fortifying Pill. He's willing to buy one for 80 spirit stones." Chu Chen rubbed his temples tiredly. "But the strange thing is, I clearly followed the strictest method to refine the pill, but the pill I made is still of good quality. It's not of precious quality. Where did this go wrong? "
Uh!
Qing Yue's face suddenly turned red. As a pharmacist, she naturally understood the special effect of a precious quality Foundation Fortifying Pill.
This was the aphrodisiac that cultivators pursued.
