Zhang Chu did not expect, this Zhuang Zhuo, surprisingly so affordable to put down, said to apologise, immediately apologised.
So Zhang Chu waved his hand, “Forget it, since you know that you can’t, I won’t bother with you, remember clearly in the future, in this world, there is no desperate path.”
What is fortune telling?
Fortune-telling, is not to make others resign to fate, on the contrary, fortune-telling, is to resist, is to not resign to fate.
If you know that there may be a car accident tomorrow, can’t you tell people to avoid it? Do you have to make people prepare coffins with head irons?
If you can tell that you will get married one day and your girlfriend will be taken by someone else, can’t you advance a few days and change your girlfriend?
Fortune-telling is never about calculating a certain future, but rather about calculating a certain possible future and removing factors that are unfavourable to you.
Of course, Zhang Chu was not in the mood to educate Zhuang Zhui.
At the moment, Zhang Chu only wanted to finish what he had promised Tang Duo earlier and refine that Life Extension Pill.
In Elder Xu’s small courtyard, Zhang Chu began to prepare for the alchemy.
He first checked the medicinal herbs that Tang Duo had brought, and after checking them for a while, he picked out a few unqualified herbs and spoke:
“This Di Huang doesn’t work, it was supposed to be put on a reed mat to be exposed to the sun for a few days, then piled and smothered together to return to moisture for a bit, and then exposed to the sun again, so that the Di Huang would have a soft texture and be very dry.”
“But these Groundnut you got, although the origin is fine, and it is indeed wild, but it should have been dried with a clay kang, and the medicinal effect has flowed out quite a lot, go and change it for some new Groundnut.”
“There’s also this Thousand Mile Light that’s not right, before drying it, it should be sprayed with water to make its medicinal pole hollow before it can be dried again.”
“You bought these, the processing procedure is one step less, the medicinal properties originally belonged to the cold, now it even belongs to the warm, completely wrong.”
“The others are not bad, surprisingly all of them are Taoist herbs.”Zhang Chu also expressed a little affirmation towards Tang Duo’s work.
At this moment, Tang Duo looked embarrassed, “Ah? What about this?”
Zhang Chu slapped Tang Duo’s buttocks and laughed:
“What else can I do, hurry up and get up, go find medicine that can be used ah, is it hard to believe that you want me to use this kind of medicine and try to see if Jin Yuanyuan can change his life against the heavens?”
Tang Duo immediately said, “Oh oh oh, I’ll go right away.”
However, Xu Lao hurriedly said, “Don’t, when you go to look for it, it will take until the monkey’s age, this way, I know the old shopkeeper of Ren He Tang, I’ll ask him over there if there are any medicinal herbs that can be used.”
Soon, the phone call was made.
A few words of effort, the side gave the letter: “Teacher, you say this is not a coincidence, these two kinds of herbs ah, I really have stock here, but also fresh just come, immediately send you over.”
The phone hangs up, Ren He Tang’s old shopkeeper then immediately dialled other shopkeepers.
“Shopkeeper Liu, do you have any authentic Di Huang on your side? It has to be anciently concocted, the kind where the process can’t be sloppy at all.”
“No? Then you help ask around, who has this stuff, urgent request!”
“Okay, thank you.”
“Qian shopkeeper, I heard that you have authentic Qianliang over there?”
“Yes, yes, yes, I want some, I’ll be right over!”
……
Twenty minutes later, the car of the old shopkeeper of Ren He Tang, stopped in front of Xu Lao’s door.
As soon as he entered the door, this old shopkeeper shouted, “Xu Lao, what you want, I sent it over to you, what a coincidence, it just so happens that a medicine merchant came over yesterday to make a delivery, the only thing I looked at were two samples that looked good, so I left them behind.”
Saying that, two boxes of herbs, were sent over.
Xu Lao was very satisfied, “Sit!”
Then, Xu Lao asked Zhang Chu with great respect, “Mr Zhang, take a look, these two medicines, are they right?”
Only then did the old shopkeeper of Ren He Tang see clearly that it was Zhang Chu.
He was instantly surprised, “Aiya, isn’t this Mr Zhang? I’ve long heard of Mr Zhang’s great name, and it really rings a bell!”
Zhang Chu muttered in his heart, “So, am I already this famous ……”
In reality, this Ren He Tang’s old shopkeeper had known Zhang Chu’s appearance a long time ago.
After all, having refined the Life Benefiting Pill and having sold the Qi Condensation Pill to the Song Family twice, such a character might not be of concern to ordinary people, but how could the old shopkeeper of Ren He Tang not be concerned?
Therefore, it was more than normal for Zhang Chu to be recognised by him.
Of course, Zhang Chu didn’t have too many courtesies, and after he finished inspecting the medicinal materials, he immediately began to refine the pills.
The true Life Extension Pill was a Third Grade Pill.
As for Zhang Chu, he had only obtained the Heaven and Earth Certification for a second-grade elixir, so strictly speaking, there was a probability of failure for Zhang Chu to refine a third-grade elixir.
Therefore, Zhang Chu had to completely adjust his state before refining it.
He first walked around the small courtyard, looking for the most “auspicious” direction.
Then, he observed the time of day and calculated the most suitable hour for alchemy.
Finally, Zhang Chu told Elder Xu that he would not allow any disturbances while he was refining pills.
Good fellow, after Zhang Chu made this request, a few minutes later, a squad of a hundred men, completely protected the place.
Finally, the time came, and Zhang Chu began to open the furnace and refine the pills.
The fire started.
Zhang Chu’s entire aura instantly changed to one of concentration and caution.
Elder Xu, Tang Duo, Zhuang Zuai, and the old shopkeeper all entered the room, watching from afar for fear of disturbing Zhang Chu in the slightest.
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, was incredibly focussed, and one by one, the medicinal herbs, according to the order, entered the Dan Furnace.
“Watching Mr Zhang refine pills is truly a pleasure!”Elder Xu commented in a low voice.
Next to him, Tang Duo hurriedly said, “That’s true, Uncle Xu, you don’t know, Zhang Chu is awesome, he can simply do everything!”
“Hehe …… such a good man, ordinary girls, can’t meet, Duo Duo, you have to work hard.”Xu Lao said.
Tang Duo immediately nodded her head, “Mmmmmmmmm, I must make him refine more pills, and strive to drain him of all his power!”
Right at this moment, Zhang Chu finally put the most crucial herb, the Golden Yuan Yuan, into the dan furnace.
After that golden-coloured bug entered the furnace, it immediately spread its wings and tried to escape.
However, Zhang Chu’s technique was very powerful, as he gently turned his hand, and the internal space of that Dan furnace seemed to form a mysterious force field, directly trapping the Jin Yuanyuan within it.
Then, under the scorching fire, that Jin Yuanyuan eventually turned into three drops of spirit liquid, fusing together with the other medicinal herbs.
It was at the same time that the few people who were chatting suddenly saw that above Zhang Chu’s Dan Furnace, there was an illusion, and the shadow of a mysterious white Danding Crane was dancing!
“What is that?”The old shopkeeper exclaimed, his eyes widening.
Several people were stunned.
It could be seen that above Zhang Chu’s Dan Furnace, the shadow of that immortal crane was becoming clearer and clearer, and in the end, it even had the appearance of spreading its wings and flying.
And right at this moment, Zhang Chu’s alchemy was completed.
At this moment, Zhang Chu slapped the Dan Furnace, “Kai!”
“New!”A crane’s cry unexpectedly sounded in everyone’s ears.
Immediately after, Zhang Chu beckoned, and three pills, fell into the jade disc that had been prepared long ago.
This was a third-grade elixir, and the number of third-grade elixirs that could be refined was far from being as counter-intuitive as first-grade and second-grade, and to be able to produce three at a time was already extremely efficient.
And right after those three pills fell into the jade disc, one of the pills, surprisingly, as if it had a spirit, actually took the initiative to move away from the other two pills.
Then, this elixir that rolled out on its own, turned out to change rapidly.
Only to see that on its surface, a small cloud quickly condensed.
In a short while, this elixir, surprisingly, was completely shrouded in clouds.
“Dan cloud elixir!”At this moment, even Zhuang Zhuo stared in disbelief and exclaimed incredulously.
The name of the Dan Yun Pill was too big, a Feng Shui master like Zhuang Zhui, even if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, then he had definitely heard of the name.
As for Ren He Tang’s old shopkeeper, he even exclaimed, “My goodness, the Life Extension Pill can appear as Dan Yun, this ……”
Speaking here, Ren He Tang’s old shopkeeper, snapped his head around and said to Xu Lao, “Congratulations Xu Lao, congratulations Xu Lao, this Dan Yun Life Extension Dan, at least you can get fifty years of life!”
