Chapter 30 Alchemy



Qiao Ruoxi smiled and shook her head: "It's not hard. I only made clothes for people close to me."

All in all, she had only made clothes for her master and the little emperor.

Although she lived in the mountains with her master when she was a child, the conditions were not too bad. Later, after entering the palace, she had no worries about food and clothing. Therefore, everything she did was not forced by life, but out of her interest, hobby, or out of her heart.

Pei Yaozhou's frown relaxed a little. "As for the fabric, if we successfully apply for a patent, I'll share all the profits with you."

Qiao Ruoxi was about to refuse when Pei Yaozhou stopped her.

"You have done Pei's a great favor. This is not part of the agreement. You can accept the money with peace of mind."

Qiao Ruoxi thought about it and felt that it made sense.

I think Mr. Pei did this because he didn't want to owe her a favor and didn't want to have any connection with her other than the agreement, so he agreed.

The next day, Saturday, Qiao Ruoxi got up early on purpose.

Aunt Zhang told Qiao Ruoxi that Mr. Pei had gone out early in the morning and had specifically instructed that he would be home to have dinner with his wife in the evening.

Eat together? Is there something you want to say to her?

Qiao Ruoxi raised her eyebrows. Today was the day she and Taoist Wuya had agreed to go and see the mysterious man Shanzhu.

I'll see the patient at noon and will probably be back in the evening.

After breakfast, Qiao Ruoxi washed up quickly and went to Yuanshan Taoist Temple. Unexpectedly, all the disciples in the temple were lined up and waiting for her at the door.

When they saw her coming, they all bowed and called her "Master".

His eyes were firm and his voice was sonorous and powerful, completely unlike his previous reluctance.

Qiao Ruoxi: ...

Entering the Taoist temple, Taoist Wuya welcomed Qiao Ruoxi to sit in the seat of honor. He then personally poured a cup of tea and respectfully handed it to Qiao Ruoxi: "Master, please have some tea."

Qiao Ruoxi twitched her eyes: "I already told you, just call me Ruoxi."

Taoist Priest Wu Ya quickly shook his head: "No, no, you are my grandmaster, and I cannot be unruly. If you hadn't left us the Thirteen Chapters on Alchemy, our Taoist temple wouldn't be what it is today!"

"You don't know, the elixirs we refine are so effective that they're being sold at exorbitant prices on the black market. The disciples decided to..."

Taoist Wuya raised his hand, and Qiao Ruoxi looked up.

Wow, the statue of the master is shining with golden light, obviously it has just been gilded. In addition, there is a statue of a female cultivator erected next to the statue of the master.

It was exactly the same as what she wore when she left the Taoist temple that day: a plain long gown, a pear blossom hairpin on her head, and her whole body was covered in gold, so dazzling that she couldn't open her eyes.

"Master, this is the unanimous opinion of all the disciples. We have made a golden statue for you. Now, the disciples spontaneously offer sacrifices to the ancestor and the master every day. We hope that the ancestor and the master can always bless our Yuanshan Sect with a continuous incense!"

Qiao Ruoxi stroked her forehead. She wasn't dead yet...

As he was thinking this, he suddenly realized that there was a faint light surrounding his statue, so he stretched out his palm and was able to gather spiritual power like a stream.

It’s the power of faith!

Although these spiritual powers are still not comparable to her previous life, it is better than nothing, which may not be a bad thing.

"Are all the things I asked you to prepare ready?" Qiao Ruoxi asked Taoist Wuya.

Taoist Wu Ya nodded quickly, took out a peach wood box from behind and handed it to Qiao Ruoxi.

"Master, everything you want is in there: the red string, copper coins, talisman paper, cinnabar, and the magic gourd. I bought them all myself!"

Qiao Ruoxi opened the box and took a look. It was indeed good. With these things and the existing spiritual power, it was enough to deal with some dirty things.

"Master, are you going to perform a ritual? Can you teach us too?" Taoist Wu Ya looked at Qiao Ruoxi eagerly with a look of expectation and admiration.

These things of the ancestors were lost in their generation long ago. This is a good opportunity to practice!

"Sure!" Qiao Ruoxi said casually, "We need help catching ghosts, so it would be great if you could come and help."

Taoist Wu Ya shuddered, a chill running down his spine. "Catch, catch a ghost? A living one?"

"Of course he's dead."

Taoist Wu Ya breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay..."

"How can one become a ghost if he is not dead?" Qiao Ruoxi picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Taoist Wu Ya:?

The two were chatting when suddenly there was an explosion in the backyard, and even the ground shook three times.

Qiao Ruoxi stood up vigilantly, but saw Taoist Wuya with a calm expression, as if he was used to it.

"Master, don't be nervous. Even if the alchemy furnace exploded, don't worry. I have asked those guys to take protective measures. No one will be in danger."

"It exploded more than once?" Qiao Ruoxi frowned.

Taoist Wu Ya touched the back of his head and said, "It's the Yixin Pill for treating heart disease. It has always failed, and the disciples are unwilling to give up, so they have been trying again and again. They have already blown up more than a dozen alchemy furnaces."

Qiao Ruoxi: ...

"Go and have a look."

Qiao Ruoxi walked towards the backyard filled with black smoke, and saw several disciples walking out of the alchemy room. Even after taking off their heavy protective suits, they were still covered in dust and dirt, sitting dejectedly on the ground, as if they had suffered a great blow.

Qiao Ruoxi walked straight into the alchemy room, first looked at the medicinal materials, and then looked at the remains in the alchemy furnace.

The ratio is right, the heat is right, the only problem is the people.

"Prepare a new alchemy furnace, and prepare a new batch of these herbs." Qiao Ruoxi came out of the alchemy room and gave the order.

The disciples immediately did as they were told and then all waited at the door.

I thought I would have to wait at least half a day, but in less than an hour, Qiao Ruoxi came out with two pills in her hand and fed one of them directly into her mouth.

They have never succeeded in refining elixirs once, and it takes at least several days. How did the leader manage to make it in just one hour?

besides……

"Master, why are you testing the medicine yourself?!" Taoist Wu Ya widened his eyes in surprise.

"What else?" Qiao Ruoxi asked back.

She used to learn how to make medicine from her master, and she would test the medicine herself. If someone was poisoned, she would make an antidote, and if there was no poisoning, the person could take the medicine.

Taoist Wu Ya glanced at the little white mouse in the cage and felt extremely ashamed.

No wonder they have lost all their spiritual powers in this generation and can only make a living by fortune-telling and swindling. It turns out that they don’t have the ruthlessness and determination of the leader!

Qiao Ruoxi handed another pill to Taoist Wuya: "You can't refine this pill because you lack spiritual power. If you sell this medicine, remember to attach the precautions and taboos."

Taoist Wu Ya quickly stretched out his hands and took it respectfully.

It turns out that refining this pill requires spiritual power!

In other words, their leader is the only one in the world who can refine this "Heart-Yi Pill"!

It’s a top-notch product!

It's a unique piece!

It’s a lot of cash!

Qiao Ruoxi glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting late, let's go."

Taoist Wu Ya finally reacted and quickly handed the pill to his eldest disciple Yuan Tong, asking him to take it to the black market for auction as Qiao Ruoxi had said.

Then he took out his phone, glanced at the address the mysterious man had sent him, and read it out: "Master, the agreed location is at Yuanzhou Private Hospital in Jing City. I'll drive you there!"
