"President Yang, this prescription..."
"I've checked, there's no problem. The reason it failed to refine is probably due to the refining technique. I'll give it a try."
Seeing that Yang Lu hadn't spoken for a long time, Wu Yazi hurriedly asked him a question.
What he's most worried about now is that there's something wrong with this magic formula.
If that's the case, then I really have to doubt my own judgment.
Fortunately, Yang Lu's answer completely relieved him.
This remedy is fine!
"Alright! Then I'll have to trouble Chairman Yang!"
"President, there's no need to say that. I am, after all, the honorary president and a member of the Alchemy Association! Of course, I will do my part!"
After Yang Lu finished speaking, he began to refine pills.
Han Xue and Ren Dongdong, standing nearby, didn't dare to utter a sound, afraid that they would disturb the director's alchemy.
"Get in!"
Once the alchemy furnace was almost heated up, Yang Lu fed the various raw materials into it one by one.
The two most important things in alchemy are the heat and the timing.
Each medicinal herb has a different optimal temperature; adding it too early or too late is not advisable!
Only by adding the right medicinal materials at the right time and using the right heat can the final elixir be refined!
"My goodness, the director just used his hands to pry open that scalding hot pot lid! Didn't he get burned?!"
Ren Dongdong was utterly shocked to see Yang Lu remove the top of the alchemy furnace with his bare hands and then put in the medicinal herbs.
You know, even from a distance, he could feel the high temperature of the alchemy furnace. If he did that, he probably would lose his hand.
I used to see people online saying they were making nuclear warheads by hand, and I thought it was a joke.
But now it seems that it really exists! Director, you truly deserve to be their director!
When Wu Yazi saw Ren Dongdong's naive and unworldly demeanor, he couldn't help but say something to him.
"This is nothing! The real show is yet to come!"
"Ah, why not just leave it to burn?!"
Ren Dongdong was stunned for a moment. Logically speaking, now that all the raw materials had been thrown in, all that was needed was to adjust the heat and let it burn, right?
Why do I say there's more to come?
Han Xue, standing next to her, also looked puzzled. There shouldn't be anything else going on, right?
But they soon realized that they had been too naive!
"Smack!"
"Slap! Slap!"
Just as Yang Lu was adjusting the heat of the alchemy furnace, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he hurriedly left the control panel, slapping both palms onto the furnace.
The huge alchemy furnace made a loud noise when Yang Lu slapped it, and flames kept shooting out of the furnace.
After the flames returned to the alchemy furnace, Yang Lu went back to the control panel.
Han Xue and Ren Dongdong were stunned by this scene, and then Ren Dongdong said something.
"What, if I hit it a few times, it'll become more obedient!?"
He had been wondering why the alchemy furnace had pitted and uneven marks.
I thought it was designed to resemble an alchemy furnace, but now it seems that's not the case at all!
Could it be that this alchemy furnace is stubborn, and only becomes more obedient if you hit it a few times?
However, the director's shots just now were taken with different force and in different places. Is there any significance to this?
"The flames may appear uniform, but there are actually subtle differences."
"Human eyes cannot perceive it, but medicinal herbs are extremely sensitive, especially top-grade medicinal herbs!"
"If the heating is uneven, then it will definitely be impossible to refine the pill!"
"By adjusting the force and angle of the tapping, you can better and more evenly distribute the flames! So, you understand now, right?"
Wu Yazi, at this moment, was like a wise old man, stroking his beard as he spoke to Han Xue and Ren Dongdong.
"Then...how does an alchemist know what force to use, and in what direction to strike a few times? After all, flames are invisible!"
Han Xue quickly discovered a problem: how to decide where to strike the alchemy furnace, and with what force and speed!
If flames could be quantified, that would be one thing, but the key problem is that flames cannot be quantified!
"Then you underestimate the strength of a top-tier alchemist. They can judge the state of the flames in the alchemy furnace from changes in air temperature and airflow, and so on!"
"This...this is insane!? No wonder top-tier alchemists are so sought after!"
At this moment, Ren Dongdong was looking at Yang Lu with the eyes of a little fanboy.
I doubt I could ever learn that skill in my entire life! The bureau chief is truly amazing!
Han Xue is speechless now; it feels like a fantasy.
To be able to tell the state of the flames in an alchemy furnace without even looking at it—who would believe that!
Today, I am truly fortunate to witness the director refining elixirs in person!
She finally understood why it was okay to offend anyone, but not an alchemist, especially a top-tier one.
They are practically national treasures!
Seeing their reaction, Wu Yazi continued.
"Don't rush, the best is yet to come!"
"Wow, there's someone really good at this! Xuexue, help me up later, I'm afraid I might not be able to hold back and kneel down!"
Ren Dongdong originally thought that what he had just witnessed was the most amazing thing, but now, listening to Wu Yazi's words, he realized that even more exciting things were yet to come!
