Chapter 400
Hu Xiu looked at Mo Jiuwei eagerly——
"Sister Mo, please help me. My brother's face depends on you!"
He had been eagerly waiting for good news from Master Hong Dan for the past two days.
But who knew that the news came, but it was bad news.
They are not afraid of Master Hong Dan wasting materials, but they are afraid that he will not succeed in refining the pills.
After much thought, it seems that only Mo Jiuwei can help with this matter. After all, it was she who came up with the recipe.
"Let's make the elixir here. Let's find a temporary alchemy room and go together." Mo Jiuwei said only to Master Hong Dan.
"Okay, I'll take a look at that one."
Master Hong Dan's eyes lit up, and he thought Mo Jiuwei was going to tell him about that master, and his face was full of surprise.
Mo Jiuwei looked at the three people from the Hu family who wanted to catch up and said, "You guys just wait outside. It will be just the two of us going in."
Hu Xiu opened his mouth and had to agree.
After closing the door, Mo Jiuwei waited until Master Hong took out his alchemy furnace before sitting down. "Take out all the materials, and then tell me what your steps are."
Master Hong Dan was stunned. "Ah, I can just talk to the master about this matter directly."
He thought Mo Jiuwei wanted to ask him first and then pass the message to the expert on his behalf.
In Master Hong's opinion, how could the matter of alchemy be conveyed? It couldn't be explained in a few words, and Mo Jiuwei was so young that she probably couldn't remember everything. If she was conveying the message again and again, wouldn't it be irrelevant?
He has to tell the expert in person.
"Just as you say." Mo Jiuwei said.
She knew that Master Hong Dan didn't take her seriously, and this was hard to explain, and she didn't intend to explain.
"Well, okay then."
Master Hongdan sighed softly and was ready to talk for nothing.
After he finishes speaking, the little girl will definitely realize that she doesn't understand and can't remember it. Then he will still have to tell it to the expert in person.
"I turned on the furnace first, then put in this soul-calling grass, and then..."
Master Hong Dan’s explanation was a bit brief and he did not explain all the details.
Mo Jiuwei suddenly asked halfway through, "You said you added the Mansha and then added the purple saltpeter after a while? What was the state of the Mansha when you added the purple saltpeter?"
"Of course it's melted." Master Hong was puzzled. "One material must be refined before the next one can be added. This manganese sand is no exception."
"No." Mo Jiuwei said, "In other recipes, it is correct to wait until the sand is refined before adding other ingredients, but this recipe does not work."
"Why not?" Master Hong Dan was puzzled.
"Because purple sand grains are a material of fire attribute, they will heat up rapidly in a short period of time after being added to the furnace." Mo Jiuwei explained, "If you add purple sand grains after the previous materials have been refined, the temperature will be too high. So if you want to balance the temperature, you can add purple sand grains before the previous materials are refined."
Master Hong Dan was stunned.
"Not only that, after adding the purple sand particles, the next material must also be added quickly. The principle is the same as before." Mo Jiuwei added.
The difficulty of this pill recipe is quite high, but you can’t tell from the outside. You’ll know once you’ve tried it.
Even an earth-level alchemist like Master Hong Dan still took things for granted. He always felt that the recipe was not earth-level and the materials used were nothing special. That's why he was careless and just refined it according to his previous alchemy habits.
But in reality it is not the case.
Just this one detail gave Mo Jiuwei some understanding of Master Hong Dan's level——
Regardless of his strength, at least he is lacking in attentiveness and thoughtfulness. For such a person, it is already a blessing to be able to reach the Earth level, and it can almost be said that it will be difficult for him to reach the Heaven level in his entire life.
"So that's how it is... So that's how it is. How could I be so careless as to overlook this..."
When Master Hongdan understood what was going on, his face turned red, and he felt regretful and annoyed. He even slapped his forehead with his palm.
But soon, his arms froze, and he looked at Mo Jiuwei belatedly, "No, how do you know all this? Did that master teach you this too?!"
He felt terrible and was extremely shocked.
Is this really just a child? Can a child say such words and have such logic?
Mo Jiuwei spoke clearly and logically, with a clear mind, without any stuttering, and without any mistakes!
Master Hong couldn't help but think of the time when he taught other alchemists how to make pills. When he asked them questions, none of them answered as fluently as Mo Jiuwei!
"You can start refining the elixir now." Mo Jiuwei did not answer him, but just raised her chin towards the elixir furnace. "I will keep an eye on you during the process. If you do something wrong, I will remind you at any time. Be prepared."
Things here are actually over, and she can leave Canxin City and return to Xianlai Sect at any time.
But Hu Xiu’s face hasn’t recovered yet. After all, they are friends, so she still wants to see him resolve his knot with her own eyes.
If not for this, she would have left as soon as Huo Tian delivered the materials to her. Why would she wait until now?
It can only be said that Master Hong Dan was lucky. If Du Yue was not around and Mo Jiuwei was unable to refine the pill himself, there would be no need to expect him to do it, let alone personally guide him.
"……good."
Alchemy is important.
Master Hong Dan put aside his doubts for the time being, adjusted his state of mind, and then began to refine the elixir.
Maybe it was because he finally faced it this time, or maybe it was because he no longer had any obstacles after Mo Jiuwei pointed out the problem, so this time the alchemy went extremely smoothly.
Master Hong finally demonstrated his level as an earth-level alchemist. The alchemy process was smooth and even Mo Jiuwei did not say anything to remind him during the whole process.
"Great, it really worked."
Master Hong Dan couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't feel much joy.
He thought of the look in Mo Jiuwei's eyes after she pointed out his problem.
Her eyes were extremely clear, like a mirror, and he could clearly see the doubt in her eyes.
It seems to be asking: With your level, can you be considered an earth-level alchemist?
It was just that look that made his heart shudder. He even felt ashamed of himself and didn't feel any joy even after he succeeded in refining the elixir.
"Congratulations, give it to them."
Mo Jiuwei straightened up as she spoke.
"Miss Mo..." Master Hong Dan called her, but he was speechless when Mo Jiuwei turned around.
He wanted to ask about the masters, but what he wanted to ask more was about Mo Jiuwei——
Is she also an alchemist? Does she also know how to make elixirs?
Did you learn this by following a master?
If this is the case, then what kind of strength must this master have?
No wonder the Xianlai Sect was able to create the Breakthrough Pill, a pill that can cure so many difficult and complicated diseases!
