Dongfang Jiayan opened the door of the secret chamber and said, "This is where Old Chai usually refines pills. His usual alchemy furnace is also inside. Go in and see if it's suitable."
Yan Gui excitedly walked up the stairs and entered the secret chamber. Looking around... In the secret chamber of over a hundred square meters, there was a massive cauldron sitting at the center of the chamber.
Clang!
Clang! Yan Guilai patted the huge furnace and exclaimed, "This is an Emperor-level alchemy furnace. It's really rare these days."
Dongfang Jiayan nodded and said, "Yes, although it's only a three-striped Emperor-level weapon, it's definitely a super treasure in this era. What do you think? Is it enough for you?"
Yan Guilai looked at Dongfang Jiayan with a wry smile and said, "I'm not an alchemy grandmaster. In fact … I'm not even a junior alchemist. How can it be enough for me? You're mocking me."
Haha …
Dongfang Jiayan couldn't help but giggle when she saw Yan Guilai's deflated look.
Yan Guilai shook his head and said, "Well, I don't have time to joke with you. Now … let's go get the Hundred Spirits Powder. I'm going to work."
With Dongfang Jiayan's help, Yan Guilai quickly carried a dozen big packages into the secret chamber.
Generally speaking, medicinal pills were all stored in small jade bottles.
Even the Hundred Spirits Powder was wrapped in paper packages the size of a fist. It didn't weigh much.
However, although the Hundred Spirits Powder was the most common medicine used by the common people, its production was really too large.
In order to cultivate a large number of alchemists, for the past hundred years, all junior alchemists and those below junior alchemists had refined the Hundred Spirits Powder to quickly improve their strength.
After a hundred years of accumulation, there was a huge amount of Hundred Spirits Powder. The total amount was definitely an astronomical figure.
Although the Hundred Spirits Powder was sold at a low price, its cost was very high. Every time a package of Hundred Spirits Powder was produced, it would cost a lot of money.
However … in order to cultivate a large number of alchemists as soon as possible, no matter how big the loss was, they could only pinch their noses and bear it.
Right now, the stockpiled Hundred Spirits Powder could not be used up even after a hundred years. However, new Hundred Spirits Powder was still being produced at a crazy rate.
Thus, even though the Hundred Spirit Powder was more expensive than the selling price, it still couldn't be sold. It was piled up like a mountain, but people couldn't bear to throw it away.
After carrying ten bags of Hundred Spirits Powder in, Yan Guilai put down the Forbidden Breaking Stone and completely sealed off the alchemy room. Unless Yan Guilai took the initiative to open it from the inside, otherwise, no one would be able to enter.
He opened the package and looked around. The huge package was filled with paper packets the size of an adult's fist. Every paper packet contained a packet of Hundred Spirit Powder.
Yan Guilai gently opened the lid of the pill furnace and carefully inspected it. After confirming that the pill furnace was clean and without any debris, he nodded with satisfaction.
He opened three paper packets in a row and poured the three portions of Hundred Spirits Powder into the cauldron. After that … Yan Guilai took out three jars of rootless water from the pond beside the cauldron.
The so-called Water of Five Roots usually referred to rainwater.
However, rainwater wasn't something that could be found anywhere. It wasn't something that could be obtained whenever one wanted it.
More importantly, rainwater was actually very dirty. If one really used rainwater to refine pills, it would greatly reduce the quality of the pills.
Thus, under normal circumstances, alchemists would use arrays to condense rootless water out of thin air instead of using real rainwater.
The three jars of rootless water were poured down. The three packets of Hundred Spirits Powder immediately melted and turned into a greenish-white liquid that shone with fluorescent light and emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.
Taking a deep breath, Yan Guilai pointed with his right hand. A golden crow flapped its wings and jumped into the cauldron through the fire entrance …
Boom!
In the next moment … a blazing golden flame rose from the stove below the pill furnace.
Hey, hey, hey …
Seeing this scene, Yan Guilai couldn't help but shout.
But unfortunately, Yan Guilai was still too late. He stuck his head out to look at the cauldron. Within the cauldron, all the water had evaporated in an instant. The three packets of Hundred Spirits Powder had also been completely burned into black ash.
Scratching his head in annoyance, Yan Guilai said, "What are you doing? I asked you to add some heat, but I didn't ask you to burn it! "
Hualala …
Hearing Yan Guilai's voice, an exquisite three-legged Golden Crow jumped out from the stove below the cauldron. Floating there, it said loudly, "I don't know how to refine pills. I only know how to destroy and destroy. How would I know what to do!"
Shaking his head, Yan Guilai said, "Aren't you three-legged Golden Crows the legendary Divine Sun Bird? Could it be that … the sun only knows how to destroy and not create?"
This …
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, the three-legged Golden Crow couldn't help but hesitate.
Looking at the three-legged Golden Crow's hesitation, Yan Guilai said, "As the ancient saying goes, all things grow by relying on the sun. If you can't comprehend the infinite vitality of the sun's true fire, you can forget about becoming an Emperor in this life!"
"I didn't think about this before. Once I enter a battle, I only want to explode with all my strength and completely destroy the enemy. I never thought about creation and vitality."
The three-legged Golden Crow said with grievance.
Nodding, Yan Guilai said, "It's fine if you didn't think about it before. It's not too late to start thinking about it now. Let's work hard together, how about it?"
Nodding deeply, the three-legged Golden Crow said, "No problem. In order to become an Emperor, I can do anything."
Yan Guilai's right hand slapped on the cauldron, shaking all the dregs off the inner walls of the cauldron. Then … the three-legged Golden Crow's flames swept up all the dregs.
Then, Yan Guilai once again poured three packs of Hundred Spirits Powder and three jars of rootless water into the cauldron.
At the same time, the three-legged Golden Crow tried hard to control the flames, cautiously burning the cauldron above. It would rather not have enough firepower than dry up the water and burn the medicine!
Time passed by minute by minute. Finally … after two hours, all the liquid was dried up. Inside the huge cauldron, only a layer of yellowish-brown powder was left, adhering to the bottom.
Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Yan Guilai said, "No, this cauldron of refining failed. The temperature hasn't reached six hundred degrees, so the refining can't be completed."
"This refining method pays attention to the control of the fire. Only when the temperature is maintained at six hundred degrees can the useless impurities in the Hundred Spirits Powder be dissolved and the Hemostatic Powder can be refined."
The three-legged Golden Crow said calmly.
Looking at the three-legged Golden Crow in surprise, Yan Guilai laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to hide and eavesdrop. You're not being honest …"
Curling his lips, the three-legged Golden Crow said, "When did I eavesdrop? Obviously, you were the one who was reciting it."
Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Yan Guilai also knew that before he started refining, he had indeed repeated the essentials of refining many times, for fear that he would make a mistake.
Looking at Yan Guilai, the three-legged Golden Crow said, "If it's just to ensure the temperature is six hundred degrees, I think … I don't need you at all. I can do it myself."
