While in Hollywood, I used Taoist magic to quell American terrorism.

Just do it.

After a flurry of activity, it was time to reach the next step: alchemy.

Cao Kun poured the fused medicinal liquid from the pot on the induction cooker into the pressure cooker that had been prepared beforehand.

Turn on the high-powered stove, close the lid, and start pressurizing.

While waiting, Cao Kun kept sensing the aura of the medicinal liquid and continuously cast incantations to prevent it from dissipating.

Finally, the pressure came in, and the gas cap began to rotate.

Cao Kun changed his alchemical formula and began to transform the elixir.

Cao Kun's face was serious as he constantly sensed the changes in the medicinal liquid through its aura, deciding what kind of pill-making technique to use.

Time passed slowly, and Cao Kun's alchemical formula changed: "Transform!"

A moment later, Cao Kun's face lit up with surprise.

In his perception, the medicinal liquid had actually successfully transformed into a pill.

Cao Kun let out a long breath, telling himself not to get too excited.

It hasn't been successful yet.

After the elixir is formed, there is also the process of dividing the elixir.

If the alchemy formula is wrong, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Dividing pills involves breaking down a large pill into smaller pills.

Only during the process of separating the elixir can the ingredients and their components combine to form a true elixir.

Only those kinds of pills will be effective.

A single batch of pills can produce a maximum of 12 pills; it's impossible to exceed that number.

The exact amount that can be divided depends entirely on the alchemist's skill.

Those who can separate more than 8 pills are already extremely skilled alchemists.

Some alchemists can only obtain one pill.

Even worse, some people can't distinguish a single one and simply explode the pill.

Cao Kun's expression turned solemn as he changed his alchemy incantation and began to divide the elixir.

Being unable to see the state inside the pot and having to rely solely on sensing the aura of the elixir undoubtedly increases the difficulty.

However, this is the case when refining pills in a real alchemy furnace.

Cao Kun didn't care anymore.

Sweat gradually beaded on Cao Kun's forehead.

His alchemical techniques continued unabated.

"puff……"

Suddenly, a muffled hiss came from the pressure cooker.

Cao Kun's expression hardened slightly, but his hands did not stop moving in the slightest.

A moment later, there was another "poof..." sound.

This means that the alchemy process failed again.

After more than ten minutes, Cao Kun finally stopped his alchemical incantation.

A smile gradually bloomed on her face again.

After stabilizing for a while, Cao Kun turned off the fire and removed the gas cap.

Once the pressure had dissipated, Cao Kun slowly opened the lid of the pressure cooker.

Then you can see yellow pills spinning inside the pressure cooker.

Cao Kun was overjoyed; there were seven of them.

He separated seven pills from the first batch that was successfully refined.

This was made using an induction cooker and a pressure cooker.

If it were a real alchemy furnace, there would be even more.

Of course, he doesn't have alchemical fire now, so giving him an alchemy furnace would be less useful than using an induction cooker and a pressure cooker.

After the elixir is divided, the final step is to extract the elixir.

The process of preparing the pills involves grasping them, not using your hands.

The elixir's fire has not yet subsided; if you try to grasp it with your hands, the fire will surge forth, and the elixir will inevitably explode.

As the elixir naturally deteriorates, it will lose some of its medicinal properties in the process.

At this point, a special technique for collecting elixir is needed.

Cao Kun took out a jade bottle he had prepared beforehand and formed a mysterious hand seal: "Rise!"

The pills instantly jumped out of the pressure cooker and fell into the jade bottle on their own.

Only then was the alchemy process truly complete.

Cao Kun poured out a pill and placed it in his palm. The pill was small, with a warm, yellowish color and a faint luster.

Cao Kun couldn't help but smile.

He actually managed to refine the elixir using an induction cooker and a pressure cooker.

He put the pill in his mouth, and it transformed into spiritual energy, nourishing his body.

Cao Kun's smile widened even further.

This elixir is truly effective.

Cao Kun looked at the induction cooker and pressure cooker in front of him.

Surprisingly, neither of them is quite good when taken individually.

But when combined, they can indeed be used as an alchemy furnace.

Indeed, you can really learn something from reading novels.

After a long while, Cao Kun gradually calmed down and began to meditate to recover.

Although alchemy is not a battle, the depletion of one's magical power and mental energy is no less than that of a battle.

After fully recovering, Cao Kun began his second alchemy session.

The second batch went very smoothly, but this time, he only managed to extract 6 pills.

The third batch yielded 8 pieces.

But by then, he had run out of all his medicinal herbs and could only wait for news from back home.

Cao Kun poured out another Spirit Transformation Pill and threw it into his mouth.

In an instant, the pill transformed into pure spiritual energy and merged into his body.

"Unfortunately, although this Spirit Transformation Pill contains some spiritual power, it has little effect on me, an eighth-grade geomancer."

"If ordinary people were to consume it, they would only be able to absorb a small portion, and most of the spiritual energy would be wasted."

"However, even if it's a small part, the body should be well nourished and able to get rid of minor injuries and illnesses."

"That's about right, it's almost as effective as sacrificing the moth monsters."

Should I sell it?

After thinking for a moment, Cao Kun took out his phone and scrolled through his contacts.

After searching for a while, he found Little Radish's phone number.

The call was answered quickly: "Master Cao, it's so rare to receive a call from you. What can I do for you?"

On the phone, Little Radish sounded surprised and delighted.

Cao Kun tried his best to keep his tone calm: "It's a good thing."

"What is it?" Little Radish asked expectantly.

Cao Kun: "I have recently refined a magical item that we call elixir. It has great benefits for the human body."

If you're interested, you can…

Before Cao Kun could finish speaking, Little Radish quickly said, "Interested? I'm very interested. I'll come to visit you with Susan later."

Cao Kun smiled.

Little Robert was more enthusiastic than he had expected.

Of course, all of this is based on the many amazing things he had previously demonstrated.

Little Radish said she was coming, and she really did.

More than an hour later, Little Radish and Susan appeared at Cao Kun's house together.

After exchanging greetings, Little Radish eagerly asked, "Master Cao, can you take out that elixir you mentioned?"

Not only was the little radish curious, but Susan was also very curious.

His eyes were fixed on Cao Kun.

Cao Kun smiled slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, a jade bottle appeared in his hand.

Although Xiao Luobo and her husband still find Cao Kun's ability to conjure objects out of thin air amazing, they have gotten used to it.

They were more focused on the jade bottle.

Then they saw Cao Kun slowly pour out a small, round ball with a pale yellow color from the jade bottle.

"This is the elixir?"

Both of them stared intently at the Spirit Transformation Pill in Cao Kun's hand.

Cao Kun: "That's right, eating it will help you recover from some of your minor injuries and ailments."

At the same time, it can dispel bad luck and make the body healthier.

After listening to Cao Kun's introduction, Little Radish immediately remembered the spinning ceremony from last time.

Isn't that the effect of the final special ritual?

"How much?" Little Radish asked.

Having been educated in capitalism since childhood, they never imagined they could get this for free from Cao Kun.

That doesn't align with their values.

If Cao Kun said he would give it to them for free, they would be suspicious.

Cao Kun slowly extended one finger.
