Chapter 57 Planning



"Three seniors, can you tell me now what you are up to?"

After returning to his own place, Chen Sheng asked the question in his heart: what were Xi Fu and the other two planning around him?

"Do you know? Elder Shen will have about 30 years to step down as the Elder of Yaolu."

Xi Fu did not answer directly. He mentioned Old Shen, who was the best alchemist in Yaolu. He had high attainments in alchemy and was also a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage with a long lifespan.

He has already started planning to enter the inner gate, but it will take time to implement. He estimated that this period of time should be thirty years.

"Elder Yaolu? You want to..."

Mr. Chen was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized that Xi Fu and the other two were actually planning for his future position as the elder of the medicine house.

"That's right, you are an outer sect deacon, and the next step is to become an outer sect elder."

Xi Fu nodded and explained, "Originally, you had no chance, but you learned the art of alchemy and became a first-level alchemist, so there is a slight possibility."

The medicine house is different from other places. Alchemists are arrogant and an ordinary outer sect steward will never be able to manage them.

But Chen Sheng is not a simple outer sect deacon, he is an alchemist and also one of us, so the resistance to his promotion would not be that great.

"You shined brightly in the Medicine House this time, and you really made a name for yourself. Many alchemists are convinced. It's almost safe to use the next thirty years to cultivate your career."

The reason why Master Fei withdrew was to allow Chen Sheng to show his face among the group of alchemists in Yaolu.

This time, all the alchemists in Yaolu were very interested in participating in the refining of the Golden Elixir, and were even sharpening their knives for the position of assistant alchemist.

The fact that Mr. Chen was able to get this position is itself a symbol of his strength.

If one wants to become the elder of the Medicine House, he must impress them with his alchemy skills and leave them speechless.

Mr. Chen has already achieved this.

With the three old guys assisting from the back, the possibility of Mr. Chen taking that position will be greatly increased.

"No wonder!"

Mr. Chen understood it completely, and looking at Xi Fu and the other two, he felt a little moved. They had no ties to each other, but they were willing to teach each other everything they knew just because they had similar personalities.

Now, we are even planning for what will happen thirty years from now.

Sometimes, he always felt that he was very lucky to be so favored by the elderly.

News of Mr. Chen's wonderful performance in the medicine house spread outside.

"I heard that you ranked top in the alchemy competition in Yaolu and will soon participate in the refining of the Golden Elixir."

She was very happy. The alchemists in the medicine house were a very special group of people. They had a high status and were highly respected.

Mr. Chen not only became an alchemist, but also became the best among them, which is extremely rare.

“Just a support staff.”

Chen Sheng smiled. The Golden Elixir was a top-grade second-grade elixir that also contained some special properties. Ordinary second-grade alchemists were not qualified to refine it.

He was also lucky to have the opportunity to stay aside and assist.

"I believe that you will be able to refine this second-level elixir independently in the future."

Luzhu looked at Chen Sheng with shining eyes, as if she was looking at a bright star with a hint of longing.

Then, she instructed: "Don't fall behind in cultivation. After the age of sixty or seventy, the body's functions decline, and it is unlikely to build a foundation."

She was very worried about this.

Chen Sheng's aptitude is very poor. He has used up a lot of cultivation resources, but he has only reached the eighth level of Qi Refining now.

Time waits for no one. She didn't want Chen Sheng to become obsessed with alchemy and eventually miss out on the foundation-building stage, leaving him to regret in the future.

“I remember.”

Mr. Chen agreed with a smile, but his situation was special and the time would be earlier or later, so he was not afraid.

However, he was greatly touched by such attentive concern, and he also thought of the two deacons who were taking care of the elderly. He thought that if they were still alive, they would probably give the same instructions.

The time to refine the Golden Elixir officially began four days after the Yaolu alchemy competition.

Yaoguang Palace.

The surroundings were deserted; the carved beams and painted buildings in the palace seemed frozen in time; not a single sound could be heard.

The alchemy room was already sealed, and four people, led by Elder Shen, gathered together.

"There are four alchemy furnaces. Can I open one to make alchemy?"

Chen Sheng saw that there were four alchemy furnaces in the alchemy room. The one in the middle was grand and noble, while the other three were petite and exquisite, forming a shape of stars surrounding the moon.

Obviously, the three small alchemy furnaces were prepared for him, Xifu and Master Ding.

"I have only come across the water refining method a few times in my life. This time, I am refining a second-grade superior golden liquid pill. Elder Shen, you have to be careful and explain it to me."

Shifu spoke up.

He sounded unsure, but Master Ding knew that his purpose was to let Mr. Shen explain the alchemy ideas of the Golden Elixir so that Mr. Chen could understand more.

Of course, the water refining method is very mysterious. Many alchemists will never be able to access it in their entire lives, and the two of them are indeed not familiar with it.

"The water refining method does not mean not using the fire, but using the method of steaming to refine the elixir."

Old Shen spoke very straightforwardly and revealed the essence of the water-refining method in one sentence. The idea of ​​​​alchemy is consistent with the usual fire-refining method, but the means are different, that is, the pills are made by steaming.

He uncovered the alchemy furnace in the middle, which was filled with spiritual water, crystal clear.

"Then we need to do something."

Mr. Chen understood a little, but he still didn't know how they could assist him.

"It's simple. Just follow the instructions on this piece of paper and execute them strictly and meticulously."

The Golden Elixir is very special. After studying it for a while, Mr. Shen found it difficult to refine it by himself.

Although it belongs to the upper grade of the second stage, the complexity of refining it has already exceeded this category.

"No wonder we need three assistant alchemists."

Mr. Chen took the paper, took a look at it, and knew why Mr. Shen needed assistance.

The list was filled with the names of rare treasures. He took a quick glance and found that there were about 150 kinds. The materials included were very complicated and were not limited to spiritual herbs. There were also gold, iron, stone, jade, wood, etc.

The time sequence is not sufficient, and the time required to refine each kind of spiritual herb is clearly marked, which is very strict.

"The main furnace and the secondary furnace are working at the same time. If one person makes a mistake, the golden elixir will be lost."

Xi Fu finally understood why only the absolute elite in the medicine house had to participate in assisting in alchemy this time.

The refining of the Golden Elixir requires complicated materials and cumbersome procedures. If you are not careful, the furnace will explode.

The cost of the Golden Elixir is already extremely high, and no one can afford the responsibility for failure.
