"Do you really want to know?"
Lu Jingzhi hesitated, and finally nodded.
"Because I'm afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, and when your strength is able to help me, we can go our separate ways after we're both clear."
Lu Jingzhi felt that breathing was a little difficult, and he smiled reluctantly, "It seems that Master is also afraid of gossip. Whatever, whatever."
Yan An suppressed the unnatural feeling in his heart and turned his head away so as not to look at his face.
After the room fell silent, Lu Jingzhi changed the subject and continued, "Then, Master, can you teach me the art of alchemy?"
"Yes, sure."
…
The two came to the bamboo forest in the back mountain. Yan An took out an alchemy furnace from the jade pendant. The furnace was square and pitch black. There was a rotten crack on the lid.
Lu Jingzhi stared blankly, his mouth twitching, "Master...Master, is this your alchemy furnace?"
Although he had never refined medicine and did not have an alchemy furnace, he had seen others refining medicine. It can be said that he had never seen such a shabby alchemy furnace.
"Why? If you're not satisfied, go buy it yourself."
Lu Jingzhi said with a sad face, "How can I afford to buy it now?"
A first-grade alchemy furnace would cost at least 20,000 low-grade spirit stones, but he only had a little over 1,000 spirit stones left in his pocket.
"Then stop talking nonsense and practice for me."
Helplessly, defeated by reality, Lu Jingzhi had no choice but to sit cross-legged beside the alchemy furnace and adjust his energy and spirit to the best state.
Yan An did not urge him. He sat on a big rock and looked at his calm and serious expression.
Lu Jingzhi opened his eyes and took a deep breath, "Master, I'm ready."
"Well, heat up the alchemy furnace with Xuan Qi."
Following Yan An's instructions, he injected the mysterious energy into the alchemy furnace, thereby forming energy, which was then converted into heat.
Seeing that the furnace was almost heated, Yan An spoke again, "Let's make the healing pill first. Throw the spiritual herbs... the healing grass into the alchemy furnace."
Lu Jingzhi opened the lid of the alchemy furnace and threw the herbs in one by one. At this time, his whole body was soaked in sweat, as if he had just taken a shower.
[It’s so hot, so tired, and I have no strength left.]
"Open your mouth."
When Lu Jingzhi heard the cold voice, he opened his mouth mechanically.
At this moment, a round pill flew into his mouth. After a while, a feeling of comfort and coolness rushed to his meridians and limbs, and he seemed to come alive.
"Release the demon pill."
Lu Jingzhi nodded and added the demon pill in with quick movements.
At this moment, the alchemy furnace began to boil and the lid was shaking slightly, as if something was about to come out of the furnace.
Lu Jingzhi increased the output of his profound energy, and a medicinal fragrance wafted out from the alchemy furnace. He sniffed it, feeling intoxicated.
"Condensing the elixir, this is the most important step, and also the final step. You must concentrate your mind and control the heat."
Hearing this, Lu Jingzhi calmed down, gritted his teeth, and stared closely...
After about an incense stick of time, the lid of the alchemy furnace flew up with a bang.
During his first alchemy, during the last step, he added too much mysterious energy, but was unable to reduce it for a while, causing the furnace to explode!
Lu Jingzhi picked up the charcoal-black pill and said, "Master, the furnace exploded."
Yan An, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his calm eyes and said, "Well, let's rest first, and then continue."
He held the pill with a painful look on his face, lying beside Yan An, smelling her elegant body fragrance, and suddenly felt a lot more at ease.
"Master, how do I control the heat later?"
Yan An explained, "If the temperature is too high, then stop heating it early and let it cool down naturally. Another way is to absorb the energy, but your strength is not yet enough."
Lu Jingzhi put his hands behind his head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds above. "Thank you, Master, for answering my questions."
"Um."
At this time, Lu Jingzhi, who had relaxed, felt his eyelids twitching. The words Yan An said in the room echoed in his mind, and he fell into a deep sleep unknowingly.
Yan An glanced at the sleeping face and did not disturb him...
The sun sets.
Lu Jingzhi turned over, put his right arm on her thigh, and rested his forehead on her buttocks.
With a snap.
Lu Jingzhi suddenly woke up, feeling a burning pain on his face, "Master, did you hit me?"
"No, you are dreaming."
"Is... is it?"
Yan An nodded noncommittally, "It's getting late, let's refine one more furnace and then go back to rest."
After hearing her words, Lu Jing was stunned. "Doesn't refining the elixir take several days? Why is it over so quickly?"
"Because you can't do it, you can't practice for too long." After saying that, he flashed back to Lu Jingzhi's sea of consciousness.
【I...I can't?】
These three words were like a raging storm, roaring in Lu Jingzhi's mind.
He held his breath, sat back beside the furnace, and concentrated on refining the alchemy...
Feng family of Panping Town.
The thin man paced back and forth in the living room, frowning, sometimes looking outside the house, sometimes sighing.
"Dad, you're making me dizzy. My second brother might be out playing with women somewhere. Just be at ease and wait patiently."
"Hmph, this brat always makes me worried." The head of the Feng family sat back in the main seat and drank a sip of tea to calm his nerves.
A servant came in from outside, stepped into the living room, bowed and lowered his brows, "Master, we have searched everywhere outside the Lu family, but still can't find the second young master."
Bang.
The teacup in his hand shattered, and he kicked the servant out in anger.
The servant's face looked painful, and he curled up on the ground like a white shrimp.
"A bunch of useless trash. You can't even find a living person. What's the point of keeping you good-for-nothings?"
