007 I am a genius
Chapter 7
Feng Ming is very skilled in processing spiritual medicine, which is also a point that He Shu is very satisfied with. He does not need to check the spiritual medicine he has processed, and can directly put it into the furnace.
He Shu sacrificed his own spiritual fire, which was a beast fire he subdued, which came from a relatively docile wood-attributed wild beast. If it was too explosive, it would explode the furnace if used to refine medicine.
The best spiritual fire is of course wood-attributed, but the price of such spiritual fire is often frighteningly high. The reason why He Shu was willing to join the Feng family was because the head of the Feng family took out such a beast fire, and He Shu was moved by such sincerity.
When the spiritual fire heated the pill furnace to a certain degree, He Shu threw the processed spiritual medicines in order, habitually talking about the matters that need to be paid attention to in refining the body-tempering pill. Feng Ming already knew these common senses. What he wanted to observe this time was the use of soul power in it.
When He Shu released his soul power, he also explained the matters needing attention to Feng Ming, in case Feng Ming's soul sea changed one day and he really awakened his soul power.
He Shu used his soul power to control the spiritual medicines to blend them. The first one thrown in was Tianzhuhuang, the main medicine of the body-tempering pill.
After Tianzhuhuang melted into a ball of liquid, other auxiliary medicines were thrown in one by one, and after they were melted into liquid or powder, they were sent into the liquid of Tianzhuhuang for fusion.
This process was all guided by soul power, and it was necessary to input vital energy for neutralization.
The Heshu at the Qi Gathering Realm can draw on the Yuanli from within the body, without the need to import it from the outside. However, the alchemists at the Tempering Body Realm and Opening Pulses Realm need to rely on external objects, that is, borrowing Yuanli from the Yuan Crystal, which is another burden on the soul power.
It is very simple for a second-grade alchemist to refine this lowest-level elixir. It took only half an hour before the furnace began to roar, and the formed pills collided with each other or hit the furnace wall, making crackling sounds.
The Heshu extinguished the fire, and then you can know the status of the finished pill without looking.
Feng Ming stuck his head out and took out the pills from the furnace. The primary body-tempering pills were light yellow in color. A full batch of pills was nine. He Shu had made nine pills in one furnace, seven of which were top-grade and two were medium-grade, a very good result.
He Shu himself was also very satisfied. The refining process was very smooth, and of course the wood-attributed spirit fire was of great help.
Feng Ming kept saying good things: "Uncle He, your alchemy skills are this," he raised his thumb, "Even if it's the most basic body-tempering pill, where can you find a top-grade body-tempering pill outside? The ones sold outside are all low-grade, and they are reluctant to sell the middle-grade ones." Taking
the elixir raw means taking the impurities in the elixir together. When it is refined into a pill, the impurities are reduced, but there will still be residues.
The lower the quality, the more impurities there are, and the fewer top-grade ones are. The best ones have almost no impurity residues.
However, Feng Ming has grown up so much, and he has never seen any alchemist outside who can refine a pill of the best quality, even these basic pills. He Shu stroked his beard
in a good mood, but said modestly: "No, no, I haven't refined this elementary body-tempering pill for a long time, so I'm a little rusty, so the result is just so-so." Feng Ming secretly rolled his eyes. If Uncle He's mouth was a little calmer, his words would be more convincing. Of course, he kept saying good things, and in the end, all the pills refined by He Shu were taken away by Feng Ming. Anyway, He Shu himself had no use for them, and only the cultivators who had just entered the body-tempering stage could use them. Feng Ming returned to his own alchemy room, and brought in a storage bag containing hundreds of materials needed to refine primary body-tempering pills. He had not yet learned how to refine pills, but there was no shortage of alchemy furnaces and spiritual fires in the alchemy room, and there were several alchemy furnaces alone. So it was not without reason that others regarded Feng Ming as a prodigal. Compared with the end of the world, his life now was really extremely happy, and he wished he could spend his whole life lying down. But after experiencing the end of the world, he still had a sense of crisis. Now his father was protecting him, and he hoped that one day in the future he would be able to protect his father. Knowing his father's background, and his biological father who seemed to have some background that made people jealous, Feng Ming felt a stronger sense of crisis. After only watching once how the primary body-tempering pill was made, Feng Ming took out the materials and started to try it himself. If He Shu saw this scene, he would not know how to scold this bold Shuang'er. He would never have thought that he only taught him once, and Shuang'er dared to try it privately. Feng Ming didn't care. He would not lack materials no matter what. Even if dozens or hundreds of sets were wasted, he and his father would not feel bad. Of course, he was still very careful when operating. After seeing that the Tianzhuhuang in the pill furnace was successfully melted into liquid, Feng Ming began to put other auxiliary medicines into the pill furnace. After putting the second auxiliary medicine in and refining it into powder, after melting the main medicine, there was a "bang" sound, and the first attempt was declared a failure. Feng Ming's face did not show any sign of frustration, but instead he was full of interest, and he tried again. The second time he tried, the furnace exploded when he was melting the third auxiliary medicine, and he failed. The third time he tried, the furnace exploded when he was melting the fourth auxiliary medicine, and he failed. ... The tenth time, Feng Ming successfully refined the last auxiliary medicine, and carefully used his soul power to send it into the much larger medicine liquid ball at the bottom center of the furnace. After it was integrated into the furnace, there was no furnace explosion, and Feng Ming did not show any joy, and he still carefully controlled the medicine liquid ball in the furnace. At this time, his face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The soul power he had mobilized was still too little. At this point, his soul power was almost exhausted. Feng Ming gritted his teeth and persisted, using his soul power and the alchemy technique to start dividing the pills. The large ball of liquid medicine in the pill furnace began to separate, one into three, and then three smaller balls of liquid medicine were separated. Feng Ming continued to operate, separating the small balls of liquid medicine, and then divided them into three. Gradually, nine small balls of liquid medicine appeared in the pill furnace, and the pills were successfully divided. As long as the last step of pill formation is completed, he can refine nine full pills in this attempt. However, at this time his soul power completely ended, and the pill furnace, which was about to form a pill, once again made a "bang" sound. Feng Ming sat in front of the pill furnace, wiping the large beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, his face pale. The furnace was also blown into a mess, but Feng Ming was very happy. He was only one step away from success. The reason was that his soul power was slightly insufficient. If he tried harder, he would be completely successful. So even though the furnace exploded, he saw the hope of success. Without bothering to clean up the furnace, Feng Ming first sat in meditation and adjusted his breathing to recover his soul power as soon as possible. Half an hour later, Feng Ming opened his eyes, his face regained its rosy color, and with a happy look in his eyes, he looked at the messy furnace and said happily:
"It's true that I'm refining pills. After I've exhausted all my soul power, I've actually caused the soul sea to stir again. Now the soul power I can stir up has doubled from the original level."
Great! Now I don't have to worry about not having enough soul power to refine pills. Feng Ming immediately cleaned up the pill furnace in front of him and started the eleventh attempt.
The eleventh attempt finally succeeded after half an hour. Feng Ming looked at the nine pills lying at the bottom of the pill furnace with joy. They were indeed full pills.
He took out the pills and tested them one by one. The first refining was successful, and he actually produced three medium-grade pills and six low-grade pills.
"Hehe, I am indeed a genius. If I show this result to Uncle He, he will probably suspect that I cheated by using other pills. Hehe, next time I will be able to refine a top-grade pill. If I try a few more times, even a top-grade pill will be no problem."
Feng Ming was so confident.
Feng Ming stayed in the pharmacy that day, taking turns to seduce soul power and use soul power to refine pills. When he was tired, he would rest for a while.
After continuous use, until he was too hungry to bear it, the soul power he could mobilize increased again. This result was gratifying.
His stomach was growling, and Feng Ming ate some dry food in the pharmacy at noon. At this time, he urgently needed delicious food to soothe his stomach.
Yang Xin was still guarding outside. When Feng Ming couldn't come out, he would practice outside. He was also in the Kaimai stage now, but without the problem of Feng Ming, so his cultivation would grow steadily.
Yang Xin looked anxious. Seeing Feng Ming finally coming out, he hurriedly said, "Young Master, something happened, a big thing."
Feng Ming's mind was still immersed in cultivation, and he asked casually, "What big thing could happen?"
Yang Xin stamped his feet and said, "Young Master, it's spread outside that the Bai family and the Feng family of Gaoyang County are going to marry. But now because Young Master Bai is deposed, this marriage has fallen on you, Young Master. Young Master, isn't this going too far? And how did our family get involved with the aristocratic families in Gaoyang County?"
Oh, Feng Ming slapped his forehead. The Gaoyang County team arrived so quickly. He was so busy in the alchemy room that he didn't even have time to think about this.
Feng Ming said calmly: "Why are you in such a hurry? It's just an arranged marriage. Don't worry, I heard dad mention it this morning. With my dad around, I will definitely not suffer much loss. Dad would not marry me off so easily." He
then leaned closer to Yang Xin and told him in a low voice, "Dad said that if we want to continue this engagement, Bai Qiaomo must be married."
"Huh?" Yang Xin forgot what he was going to say for a moment.
Feng Ming waved his hand and walked out while saying: "Where are the people from Gaoyang County? Where is my father?"
Yang Xin chased after him: "The people from Gaoyang County are staying in the City Lord's Mansion. My father has also gone to the City Lord's Mansion. I heard that the people from the Bai family have also gone there."
Feng Ming raised his eyebrows: "Yes, my father must have gone to negotiate. Don't worry, our family will have one more person."
Although Yang Xin felt that this result was less than his own, It would be better for the young master to marry out, but he still felt sorry for the young master: "Even if he gets married as a dowry, Young Master Bai is a useless person. No matter how you look at it, the young master is at a disadvantage in this marriage. What kind of person does the young master want to marry?"
Feng Ming turned around and asked him: "Are those people willing to get married as a dowry? No, they just want me to marry over, and then the whole Feng family will be given as a dowry, including my father."
Yang Xin After thinking for a while, he said, "Then we can take our time to look for one. With the old master here, there will definitely be men willing to marry in."
Feng Ming sighed, "Don't you know how powerful the noble families in Gaoyang County are? Do you think my father can object? Okay, things are not as bad as you think. We'll be fine after we deal with the people in Gaoyang County."
Yang Xin also knew this, so he stopped speaking up for his own young master. He turned around and remembered something else, "Young master, the news must have spread outside, so many young masters came to see you. The young masters of the Bai family, Ding family, Sheng family and Song family have all come."
Needless to say, the arrival of this group of people from Gaoyang County and their purpose will soon spread in Qingyun City. Especially these families, they will definitely be the first to know the inside story of this marriage contract.
The young masters of those families have worked so hard for so long, but now it’s gone to waste. Aren’t they unwilling to accept this? They probably want to test his attitude.
Feng Ming sneered, they are testing him, these people are protesting against their family, what’s the point of working on him?
Then he sighed again, no matter they are a couple in reality or in name only, from now on, he will be a man with a family. He will get married for the first time in his two lifetimes.
Maybe his father told him something, but when he walked in the mansion, Feng Ming found that the defense in the mansion had been upgraded by several levels, and the number of people hiding in the dark had increased a lot.
In fact, Feng Ming was willing to go to Fengyu Tower at this time to listen to how people in the city talked about this matter and him, Feng Ming himself.
Unfortunately, he also knew that as soon as he showed up, he would definitely become the object of others’ onlookers.
He just wants to eat melons, not be eaten by others.
Author's idle talk: There is an error in Chapter 4. The head of the Feng family in Gaoyang County is Feng Jinlin's father. Feng Jinlin's eldest brother is the designated successor to the head of the family, but he has not yet become the head of the family. I will find time to apply for a modification.
