Chapter 200 Technology Assisted Alchemy
"Let me think about it again."
Huo Lingze finally sighed and looked at Huo Qinghuang with a complicated expression, "Qinghuang, thank you for your reminder. I know you are doing this for my own good."
Huo Qinghuang nodded slightly. She understood that changing a person's established plan was not an easy task, especially for someone as ambitious as Huo Lingze.
"Just think it over carefully. No matter what decision you make, the Huo family will always support you."
Huo Qinghuang stopped talking and said no more.
"With your words, I can do it with confidence."
Huo Lingze smiled in a casual manner.
Huo Qinghuang raised her eyebrows and watched Huo Lingze leave with heavy steps.
With two people missing from the house, the place suddenly became quiet. Huo Qinghuang continued to devote himself to cultivation. When he was bored, he would go to see how Huo Lingfeng taught Huo Jiayue how to make pills.
After Huo Lingfeng finished dealing with things in the hospital, he returned home and began to teach Huo Jiayue how to make pills.
Huo Jiayue studied very hard. Although she was always confused at the beginning, she was never discouraged.
"Jiayue, the most important thing in alchemy is carefulness and patience. You can't make mistakes in every step."
Huo Lingfeng taught patiently.
"Brother, I understand. I will definitely study hard."
Huo Jiayue said firmly.
Mrs. Huo watched her study hard and felt both relieved and a little worried.
I am glad that my youngest daughter finally has the ambition to make progress, but I am worried about whether there will be any danger in the process of refining the elixir.
As the days passed, Huo Jiayue gradually made some progress in alchemy and was able to complete some simple steps independently.
But he always failed to control the temperature, and the amount of pills he refined was very small.
But this has already dealt a heavy blow to Huo Qinghuang.
Back then, she blew up one hundred and eighty alchemy furnaces and destroyed countless rare elixirs, but she still couldn't make a single successful pill.
And now, not only Huo Lingfeng has learned how to refine pills, but even Huo Jiayue can occasionally refine a batch of successful pills. How can she not be indignant?
"Is this what mortals say, God gave you a pair of eyes to discover beauty, but he has to close a window?"
She curled her lips and muttered to herself.
On this day, Huo Lingfeng and Huo Jiayue were refining pills again.
This time, the two of them changed to refining a type of elixir called Bigu Pill, and the recipe and experience of refining the elixir were provided by Huo Qinghuang.
As for the medicinal materials, they were genuine goods that Huo Lingfeng bought through his connections, and their quality and quantity were guaranteed.
The Bigu Pill, as the name suggests, can help one fast. Low-level cultivators who take this pill can stop eating for a short period of time.
The reason why Huo Qinghuang gave this pill recipe was to prepare it for Huo Lingchuan.
With the fasting pill, that guy can practice without distraction, without having to eat, drink, defecate and urinate all day and waste his practice time.
I just wonder if Huo Lingchuan will faint in the toilet after he finds out that Huo Qinghuang prepared this kind of medicine for him.
…
"Brother, the temperature of this flame is really hard to control. Besides, we can't always ask Aunt Liu to help us light the fire. We have to learn how to make the fire while refining the elixir."
Huo Jiayue frowned and looked at Huo Lingfeng with a distressed expression, and continued: "Second brother, do you think we can develop a method to automatically control fire, so that refining pills can be easier."
Huo Lingfeng pushed his glasses and said after thinking for a moment, "Jiayue, your idea is good. In fact, there are records of fire control methods in the alchemy of ancient alchemists, but they have long been lost.
However, it would be nice if there was a way to quickly stabilize the temperature when the fire suddenly changes.”
Huo Jiayue's eyes lit up when she heard this: "By the way, we can make a simple temperature control device.
Think about it, we can use some special materials to make parts that can absorb or release heat and install them around the furnace."
Huo Lingfeng slapped his thigh and said, "What a good idea! This way, even if there is an emergency, there will be enough buffer time to adjust the temperature."
They got to work right away. They looked through various physics books, combined with their knowledge of alchemy, and began to design and make a temperature control device.
Huo Qinghuang was confused and couldn't help but complain in her heart.
These alchemy experiences were gained through countless years of research by those powerful Taoist priests. It would be a miracle if these two rookies could change them easily.
However, in the next few days, the two rookies gave her a great surprise.
After completing the training for the day, Huo Qinghuang walked leisurely to the martial arts arena to watch two rookies making pills.
Huo Lingfeng was seen holding a strange-shaped object and surrounding the entire alchemy furnace, then he rolled up his sleeves and began to make the elixir.
Aunt Liu continued to light the fire carefully.
Huo Lingfeng paid close attention to the situation inside the furnace and the operation of the temperature control device.
Huo Jiayue held her hands and watched nervously, muttering: "I must succeed, I must succeed..."
As time passed, the familiar faint medicinal fragrance emanated from the furnace again.
Huo Jiayue and Huo Lingfeng looked at each other, their eyes full of anticipation.
Huo Qinghuang raised her eyebrows and looked at the scene with disapproval.
However, just as the pill was about to take shape, the sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds and a loud thunder exploded not far away.
Immediately afterwards, a strong wind blew, even stronger than last time, blowing towards the alchemy furnace.
Huo Lingfeng's heart tightened and he quickly looked at the temperature control device.
The indicator light on the device began to flash, indicating that it was working hard to absorb excess heat and stabilize the temperature inside the furnace.
Huo Qinghuang frowned, looking at the flickering indicator light in confusion.
Can this thing really control the temperature?
Aunt Liu looked at the stove nervously, trying to control the fire.
The wind was howling, making everyone's hair messy, and the flames flickered.
However, thanks to the temperature control device, the temperature inside the furnace fluctuates but is always within a controllable range.
Huo Jiayue clenched his fists tightly, his eyes never leaving the alchemy furnace, and he kept muttering: "I must succeed, I must succeed..."
Huo Lingfeng stared at the temperature control device intently, ready to make adjustments according to the situation at any time.
Infected by the emotion, Huo Qinghuang pursed her lips, and couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation rising in her heart.
Finally, the wind gradually died down and the temperature inside the furnace returned to normal.
The strong medicinal aroma became stronger and stronger, and the stove cover began to tremble again.
"Success! It must have succeeded this time!"
Huo Jiayue shouted excitedly.
Huo Qinghuang was startled for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and lifted the lid of the stove.
A medicinal aroma stronger than ever before wafted into my nose.
Inside the furnace, several round pills emitted a soft and bright light, and the patterns on the surface were clearly visible, as if telling of their extraordinaryness.
“We did it!”
Huo Jiayue hugged Huo Lingfeng excitedly, tears of joy flashing in her eyes.
Huo Lingfeng's face flushed with excitement, "That's great, Jiayue! Our efforts have not been in vain."
Huo Qinghuang picked up the pill from the bottom of the furnace, sniffed it under his nose, and found that the quality was not bad.
“Is this the power of human technology?”
She murmured to herself, and for the first time she felt that mortal technology was not completely useless for cultivation.
At the very least, this experiment has proved that technology can be used to improve the success rate of alchemy.
"Get out of the way, let me try!"
She pushed Huo Lingfeng away, rubbing her hands together, eager to give it a try.
