Within the cave, Zhang Chu began to refine the pills.
Night Diem and White Diem gave Zhang Chu a hand, and a copy of the ingredients for the Dragon Rising Pill was placed by Zhang Chu’s hand.
Night Diem, Bai Yan, and the hot pot were completely quiet for fear of disturbing Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, quieted his mind and adjusted his state.
Soon, Zhang Chu took a deep breath, the fuel entered the furnace, and his hand gently clapped.
Whew!
After the Dan Furnace, there were mysterious purple flames burning up.
Zhang Chu slowly closed his eyes and carefully felt it, this flame was completely different from the flame he had used when he was refining pills in the outside world.
It was the same charcoal, the charcoal flame here, was much hotter, and even, the flame contained some sort of mysterious power within it.
“It seems that this fire needs to be carefully adjusted.”Zhang Chu thought in his heart.
At this moment, Zhang Chu’s divine soul completely communicated with the flames within the Dan Furnace.
Controlling the fire, this was the first step in alchemy, after all, it was a different fire, so Zhang Chu needed to adapt to it for a little while.
After a few minutes, Zhang Chu’s divine soul was finally able to completely control the flames within the Dan Furnace.
It was at this moment that Zhang Chu spoke, “Golden Congo!”
Night Yan hurriedly handed Zhang Chu one of the prepared medicinal herbs.
After the first flavour of herbs entered the Dan Furnace, Zhang Chu was suddenly slightly stunned, “Hmm?”
“What’s wrong?”Night Diem asked in a small voice.
For her part, Bai Yan hurriedly poked Night Diem, “Shh, don’t talk, when refining pills, you can’t be disturbed.”
Zhang Chu didn’t pay any attention to Night Diem, however, he did feel that something was wrong.
When refining pills in the outside world, after the Golden Congo entered the furnace, the medicinal power would gradually dissolve under the heat of the flame, and much of the medicinal power would seep out in the epidermis of the Golden Congo.
But this time was different.
This time, the Golden Congo had just entered the Dan Furnace, and the medicinal power seemed like dynamite, directly exploding inside the Dan Furnace.
Of course, with Zhang Chu’s control over the flames, the Dan Furnace would definitely not explode, but the medicinal power within the Dan Furnace was surging abnormally and was difficult to control.
Even Zhang Chu was born with a feeling of being unable to control it.
“My heavens, why does it feel like the difficulty of refining the Dragon Rising Pill with this kind of pill is comparable to that of a Fourth Grade Pill?”Zhang Chu muttered in his heart.
In reality, Zhang Chu’s art of alchemy had been certified by Heaven and Earth as a second grade elixir, but it did not mean that Zhang Chu was only a second grade elixir master.
Strictly speaking, Zhang Chu was actually considered a Fourth Grade Dan Master.
This was because according to the standards of the alchemy world, as long as one was able to refine a Fourth Grade Pill once, then they were considered a Fourth Grade Pill Master.
Although Zhang Chu had never refined a Fourth Grade Pill, however, previously, in the Alchemy Space, the segment of the Divine Soul Fragment that Zhang Chu had devoured had actually refined a Fourth Grade Pill.
Therefore, Zhang Chu was very familiar with the difficulty of refining a Fourth Grade Pill.
At this moment, only one elixir had entered the furnace, already causing Zhang Chu to feel the strain.
However, Zhang Chu did not give up, and instead, he controlled the furnace with all his heart, restraining the medicinal power within.
After roughly ten minutes or so, Night Diem could not wait any longer, and she whispered to Bai Yan, ”Hey? How come you’ve waited for so long and still don’t want the second flavour of herbs?”
Bai Yan also frowned in disbelief, “I remember, the last time I refined the Dragon Rising Pill, it wasn’t this laborious.”
Of course, the two sisters’ voices were small and did not affect Zhang Chu.
Finally, Zhang Chu spoke, “Dragon Beard Orchid!”
This time, Bai Yan hurriedly handed Zhang Chu another herb.
Another ten minutes or so passed.
Zhang Chu had barely added four herbs to it, but at this moment, Zhang Chu finally lost control.
With a poof, within the Dan Furnace, fire suddenly sprang out.
That fire was too fierce, as if it was a fire dragon, and it blazed over towards the tail of the hot pot.
Whew……
The fire directly enveloped the tail of the hot pot.
“Woof woof woof!”The hot pot jumped in fear and hastily dodged, drooping its tail and hiding behind Night Diem.
Then, the hotpot looked towards Zhang Chu in a thievish manner, with fear all over its face.
On the other hand, Zhang Chu’s Dan furnace suddenly smoked, and the fire directly went out, losing all the medicinal power.
Zhang Chu sighed and shook his head, “Hey, it doesn’t work ……”
Night Diem was a little disappointed, “Can’t the medicinal herbs here, be refined?”
Zhang Chu nodded his head, “Yes, the medicinal herbs here, their medicinal properties are very strange, very different from outside.”
“Forget it then, let’s not bother with that, we don’t need to pick herbs.”Night Diem said.
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, mused, “But I always have the feeling that the herbs here, have even more medicinal power, so logically, it should be easier to refine pills.”
“Try again?”Bai Yan asked Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu shook his head, “No, I need to think carefully.”
He wanted to recall the feeling he had just had when he was refining pills and figure out what the problem was.
Otherwise, wasting herbs one after another would not work.
At this time, Bai Yan said, “Then let’s go to sleep first, maybe after a good night’s sleep, we’ll be able to think clearly tomorrow.”
Night Diem also said, “Right, after being tired for a day, it’s time to rest, and when we are rested and full, our brains will be active, and we’ll think of it all at once.”
Zhang Chu felt that what the two of them said made sense.
Thus, Zhang Chu temporarily put the Dan Furnace aside, not bothering with it, and then, wrapped his arms around them and slept together.
Next to him, the hot pot guarded the bonfire, very depressed:
“Hey, in the past, I was always laughing at grandpa for not being able to find a woman, but now, it’s good that people play with two at once.”
“This is the real dog abuse ah ……”
The bonfire was very strong, with three flames, constantly emitting all sorts of strange and weird sounds.
This night, quickly passed.
Early the next morning, Zhang Chu pushed Bai Yan, who was lying on his lap, out of the way, and found that the hot pot was lying beside the fire, still awake.
Thus, Zhang Chu went alone to the Dan Furnace and once again pondered over the medicinal properties of these herbs.
Right at this moment, Zhang Chu suddenly felt that two large soft balls pressed against his back.
Without guessing Zhang Chu knew that it was Night Yan.
This one who was a younger sister was much more generous than her elder sister.
Sure enough, Night Diem’s voice, came from Zhang Chu’s ears, “How is it? Did you study it out?”
Zhang Chu slightly shook his head, “If I think about it alone, I still can’t figure it out ……”
“In this case, let’s, during the day, collect some low-end medicinal herbs, I’m looking at the valley, there are a lot of low-end medicinal herbs, I’ll first use the low-end ones to research.”
Within this valley, ordinary medicinal herbs like the Motherwort, Great Green Leaf, Dragonflower, and the like were growing in patches.
Previously, Zhang Chu disliked that such things were rather low-end and did not collect them.
But now, Zhang Chu needed to use them to understand the medicinal properties.
When Bai Yan and Night Yan heard this, they immediately said, “Good!”
After eating a little breakfast, the three of them, along with the hot pot, once again appeared on the hillside within the valley.
Not only were there plenty of medicinal herbs here, but they also had a wide view, and from here, they could see the white apes’ garrison at the mouth of the valley.
However, Zhang Chu and the others did not intend to go looking for trouble from those white apes, and after teaching them a lesson, it would be good to be at peace with each other in the future.
This time, Zhang Chu’s speed in collecting medicinal herbs was much faster, and large swathes of ordinary medicinal herbs were loaded into the Star Pagoda by Zhang Chu.
It was only noon when Zhang Chu felt that those medicinal herbs were already enough.
Right at this time, Night Diem suddenly pointed at the White Ape Resident in the distance and shouted, “Zhang Chu look, there’s someone!”
