The invasion of the abyss begins with the Laughing at the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 109 Alchemist

Huya Mountain, Alchemy Pavilion.

With a loud "bang", thick black smoke rose up and filled the entire attic, followed by a violent coughing sound.

When the smoke slowly dissipated, Shen Yuanliang reappeared in everyone's sight. His hair was messy, his face was pitch black, and there was even a burnt smell.

"Master."

Dongmei, who was waiting nearby, saw this scene and shouted anxiously.

Although it was not the first time, Dongmei was always worried every time the alchemy furnace exploded, fearing that her young master would encounter an accident.

"It's all right. It's all right."

"As for refining the elixir, just refine it a few more times."

Picking up a clean towel and wiping his face, Shen Yuanliang waved his hand and said nonchalantly while looking at the ten-foot-high alchemy furnace in front of him.

Ever since awakening his innate wisdom, Shen Yuanliang has been pushed forward and has no time to rest. Now he is a top-notch martial arts master, and no one in the world can defeat him.

In his spare time, Shen Yuanliang thought of the bronze tripod in his mind and suddenly became interested in refining legendary elixirs, such as Shaolin Dahuan Dan, Peach Blossom Island's Wuchang Dan, Jiuhua Yulu Pills, and so on.

Starting ten days ago, there were occasional loud explosions in the southwest corner of the Shen family manor. At first everyone thought it was the enemy attacking, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

"Master, isn't alchemy just a scam?"

"Qin Shi Huang refined the elixir of immortality, Emperor Wu of Han sought immortality, and Emperor Jiajing of this dynasty all died from taking elixirs."

Dongmei said with a worried look on her face as she tidied up Shen Yuanliang's slightly messy clothes.

Throughout the dynasties, all emperors sought immortality, and most of them refined elixirs. However, it is well known that elixirs are poisonous, and countless people died suddenly as a result of them.

"The materials used in alchemy are generally minerals, plants, and animals. The emperor usually uses minerals to extract the immortality properties from them when refining elixirs."

"Cinnabar is one of the most important ingredients, and cinnabar contains mercury, so there are rumors that the elixir is poisonous."

"The Shaolin Temple's Da Huan Dan uses a variety of rare medicinal materials, such as hundreds of years old ginseng, thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and other natural treasures. The elixir made from this is the real elixir."

Stepping onto the three-step square stove that symbolizes "Heaven, Earth, and Man", Shen Yuanliang rekindled the charcoal fire. The orange-yellow flames rose up, and a terrifying heat wave hit.

"Dongmei, bring the processed Korean ginseng over here, and a bowl of water."

Under the red fire, Shen Yuanliang, dressed in a purple Taoist robe, added medicinal materials from time to time according to the size of the fire. The whole process was tense and orderly.

Dongmei, Qiuju and others were busy under Shen Yuanliang's command. The Korean ginseng must be hundreds of years old, preferably produced in Changbai Mountain. The clean water must be rootless and cannot touch the ground.

An hour later, there was a loud "bang". If nothing unexpected happened, the alchemy furnace exploded again, and the best medicinal materials were wasted again, as well as thousands of taels of silver!

"Brother Yuanliang."

Pushing open the tightly closed door and looking at the smoky scene in front of her, Li Wan'er took out a silk handkerchief from her arms and covered her mouth and nose, looking around for Shen Yuanliang.

"Here it is!"

Hearing the familiar footsteps, Shen Yuanliang waved and shouted.

"Brother Yuanliang, we have been refining the elixir since this morning. It is time to rest."

"This is the medical book of the famous murderer Ping Yizhi sent by Dongfang Bubai. It should be of some help to you in refining the elixir."

After saying that, Li Wan'er, who was wearing an emerald green silk skirt and a fox fur coat, took out a book from her messenger bag. It was Ping Yizhi's medical book, which recorded his lifelong medical skills. Generally, a good doctor must have some knowledge of alchemy, not to mention Ping Yizhi, who was known as a miracle doctor. He was the one who made the Three Corpse Brain Pills of the Sun and Moon Sect.

"I didn't expect that Dongfang Bubai is quite particular."

Flipping through the medical book in his hand, Shen Yuanliang nodded involuntarily as if he had gained something. He praised Ping Yizhi's alchemy skills, saying that he was indeed a famous doctor.

The previous scenes of alchemy kept replaying in his mind, when to place the medicinal materials, the control of the fire, etc. Combined with Ping Yizhi's experience in alchemy, Shen Yuanliang was very confident about the next batch of pills.

"Refine another batch of pills."

"May all the Buddhas in the sky bless us, this time we must succeed."

After adding the silver charcoal, Shen Yuanliang lit the three incense sticks in his hand and bowed to everyone, from the Jade Emperor to the Buddha, praying for peace of mind and good luck.

After a cup of tea, when the color of the flame changed from orange to azure blue, Shen Yuanliang put the prepared snow lotus rice in, and then added a hundred-year-old ginseng, chicken blood vine and other medicinal materials.

"boom!"

Circulating the Qi and blood throughout his body, Shen Yuanliang slapped the alchemy furnace one after another at a specific frequency. Waves of loud and clear sounds came from the air, which was very pleasant to the ears.

Under the observation of spiritual power, the snow lotus rice and various rare medicinal materials gradually turned into a pool of liquid of different colors, emitting a faint light.

Under the vibration of a specific frequency, wisps of impurities turned into a wisp of green smoke and drifted away with the wind, and the remaining essence gradually condensed into blood-red, pearl-sized pills.

After a full hour, a mellow and enticing fragrance wafted from the Alchemy Pavilion and swept across the entire Shen Family Villa. Everyone was intoxicated, as if they were drunk, with flushed faces.

"boom!"

When the lid of the cauldron was opened, more than thirty pills were seen floating in the air, spinning around like rubies, crystal clear. These were the Qi and Blood Pills that Shen Yuanliang wanted to refine.

"Thirty-six pills have been made, which is not bad."

Shen Yuanliang put the pills in the alchemy furnace into the jade bottle and left the last pill. He smelled it lightly, and the qi and blood in his body became stronger a little bit, without any discomfort.

"Dongmei, grab a chicken."

Just in case, Shen Yuanliang still wanted to do an experiment, and chickens and ducks were the best guinea pigs.

A quarter of an hour later, Dongmei came with a chicken cage with a majestic rooster inside. She glanced at everyone arrogantly. This was the famous Fengqing chicken.

"Little guy, what a blessing, what a blessing."

After feeding the pills in their hands into the Fengqing Chicken's stomach, Shen Yuanliang and his companions stared at it intently, observing its every move.

"Whoa whoa!"

After one stick of incense, the Fengqing Chicken flapped its wings, venting the endless energy in its body, and the blood and qi in its body increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, the one-foot-long Fengqing chicken was reborn as if by magic.

A two-foot-tall Fengqing chicken with colorful feathers appeared in front of everyone. It grabbed forward with its sharp claws and with a "rip", the bamboo chicken coop was split into two.

"Brother Yuanliang, you succeeded!"

Looking at the scene in front of her, Li Wan'er excitedly hugged Shen Yuanliang's arm, her eyes shining.
