Chapter 9
Don't ask Fang Lin to know that Xu shangao must have failed in alchemy.
When Fang Lin first came into contact with alchemy in his previous life, he often exploded the stove, but soon mastered knocking on the door, and there was no furnace explosion again.
Xu shangao walked into the courtyard with a dark face, and he didn't care that Fang Lin was laughing there. His face was full of depression and annoyance.
"Elder martial brother Xu, you'd better wash your face first." Fang Lin said to him after laughing.
Xu shangao sighed, washed his face, and was ready to return to the alchemy room.
This time, Fang Lin followed in, and Xu shangao didn't stop him. Come in, anyway, there is no secret in the alchemy room.
"Elder martial brother Xu, why is your Dan stove so bad?" Fang Lin glanced at the dark Dan stove in the room and said.
Xu shangao looked at Fang Lin in astonishment and said, "do you still know the quality of the Dan furnace? Although my Dan furnace is average, it is at least durable and has not been damaged after frying several times."
Fang Lin was speechless. From his point of view, the black Dan stove was very inferior, and there were no other characteristics except for its durability.
However, it is no wonder that Xu shangao is only a inferior disciple, and the Dan stove he can use will naturally not be much better.
There was still a trace of black smoke in the Dan stove, and a burning smell of herbs filled the alchemy room, which was pungent.
Fang Lin's nose moved slightly, which was to distinguish how many kinds of herbs there were from the burning taste, and also know what elixir Xu shangao was refining just now.
Xu shangao, with a sad face, cleared the residue from the Dan stove and sat on the ground sighing.
"Elder martial brother Xu, why are you so depressed? Isn't it a failure in alchemy? It's a big deal. Just come again." Fang Lin couldn't see it anymore and began to persuade him.
Xu shangao shook his head and said in a bitter voice, "but I have failed several times. I can't refine this heart clearing pill at all."
Fang Lin said with a smile, "isn't it just a heart clearing pill? If it can't be refined, it won't be refined."
Xu shangao sighed and said, "you don't know, our formal disciples have to evaluate once a month. The topic of this month is refining the heart clearing pill. If I can't refine it, the result of the evaluation will be unqualified."
Fang Lin was puzzled and said, "what will happen if you fail?"
Xu shangao said bitterly, "unqualified? If unqualified, I will have less time to study in the Danlin academy next month, and the gap with other disciples will be wider and wider."
Fang Lin asked again, "where is the Danlin courtyard?"
Xu shangao wanted to cry. He was so depressed that Fang Lin even kept asking why he seemed to have deviated. Shouldn't he comfort and persuade himself at this time?
Fang Lin also realized that he had asked too many questions. He patted Xu shangao on the shoulder and said seriously, "elder martial brother Xu, you should know yourself clearly. Even if you go to Danlin garden, there will still be a gap with other formal disciples."
“···”
Xu shangao regretted. He felt that he should not choose Fang Lin to be his Dantong. This is completely to attack himself, okay?
Seeing Xu shangao's sad, angry and depressed expression, Fang Lin stopped joking and said, "it's not the end of the month yet. Maybe you'll succeed next time."
Xu shangao shook his head repeatedly and said, "it's easy to say. I've refined this heart clearing pill five times, and each time I failed in this step. I don't even know what went wrong."
"Why don't you ask others, elder martial brother?" Fang Lin said.
Xu shangao smiled bitterly and said, "most of the formal disciples are competitive. Who will tell you?"
Fang Lin nodded, which is also true.
"Forget it, it's no use telling you this. Help me bring these herbs. If you don't know anyone, please ask me." Xu shangao said and handed a Dan Fang to Fang Lin.
Fang Lin took the pill and glanced at it. The herbs on it were all in the yard outside. They were just several kinds of herbs needed to refine Qingxin pill.
A moment later, Fang Lin mixed all the herbs and brought them in.
Seeing Fang Lin's hands and feet so neat, Xu shangao was a little surprised, but he didn't think much.
"You can stay here and have a look. Anyway, you'll have to refine pills in the future." Xu shangao didn't let Fang Lin go out, so he let him stay in the alchemy room to watch his alchemy.
Fang Lin directly sat down on the stool in the corner, and the old God was looking at Xu shangao's Alchemy.
Xu Shan was calm, and the gloomy color on his face converged. Then he patted the Dan furnace, and suddenly a flame rose in the furnace.
Ordinary alchemy requires fire. Alchemists at such a high level use ordinary flames, but the temperature is higher than ordinary flames.
The Dan furnace gradually had temperature, and the whole alchemy room was hot.
Fang Lin looked at Xu shangao's solemn look and felt funny. It didn't feel like refining pills, but like being generous to die.
The Dan stove is hot. Next, put all kinds of medicinal materials into the Dan stove.
Xu shangao threw the herbs into the Dan stove bit by bit. Suddenly, Fang Lin's eyes coagulated, and then a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
"I see." Fang Lin said secretly that he had known the reason why Xu shangao failed to refine repeatedly.
Fang Lin knew that Xu shangao would fail this time, but he didn't point it out, but continued to watch silently.
Sure enough, soon after all the herbs were thrown into the furnace, the furnace boomed and made a dull sound.
Hearing this sound, Xu shangao's eyes showed disappointment, and then with a bang, the flame in the Dan furnace suddenly went out, and a large stream of black smoke came out, spraying Xu shangao like black charcoal.
Fang Lin wanted to laugh again, but considering Xu shangao's mood at the moment, he resisted.
Xu shangao was really depressed, but he had long expected that he would fail, so he seemed calm.
Without speaking, Xu shangao silently cleaned up the residue in the Dan stove.
Fang Lin also didn't speak, silently walked out of the alchemy room, prepared the herbs for refining Qingxin pill again, and walked into the alchemy room again.
Xu shangao was sitting in the corner frowning. Fang Lin put the medicine aside and said, "elder martial brother Xu, try again, maybe this time will be successful."
Xu shangao shook his head and said, "if you don't try, trying again is a waste of herbs."
Fang Lin said with a smile, "elder martial brother Xu, as an alchemist, how can you give up easily? It's just that many alchemists lose their heads after failing several times. Are many alchemists going to commit suicide in the river after failing hundreds of times?"
Xu shangao felt dazed when he heard the speech.
Fang Lin added, "alchemy is always going to fail, but as long as you succeed once, all your previous failures are worth it. Don't elder martial brother Xu want other formal disciples to look up to him?"
When he said these words, Fang Lin couldn't help but return to the scene when he was in the Dansheng palace, and his heart burst into sobs.
After hearing Fang Lin's words, Xu shangao's depression and depression in his eyes gradually dissipated and stood up again.
"Younger martial brother Fang, I can't imagine that although you are only a Dan boy, you make my formal disciple feel inferior. You're right. My generation of alchemists should not be afraid of failure. I still have a chance. I want to make those who despise me look at me differently!" Xu Shan said loudly.
Fang Lin looked at him with satisfaction. Although Xu shangao's qualifications, appearance and bones were poor, at least his spirit as an alchemist was worth encouraging.
Xu shangao cheered up and came to the furnace again. He took a deep breath to calm his heart completely.
"Brother Fang, do you think I can succeed?" Xu shangao suddenly asked.
Fang Lin smiled and said, "sure."
Xu shangao also smiled, "I borrow your kind words."
When he began to refine pills again, Xu shangao looked very serious and stared at the furnace without blinking.
When Fang Lin began to put the herbs in, he said, "brother Xu, maybe it will be better to put the qingmingcao first and then the macaroni at last."
Xu shangao was stunned, frowned and looked at Fang Lin, hesitated for a moment, then clenched his teeth, and followed Fang Lin's advice.
First put the qingmingcao in, then put other herbs into the Dan stove, and finally the pink macaroni.
Cover the furnace, Xu shangao's face full of tension, for fear that this time alchemy failed again.
Fang Lin was calm for a while, thinking that if this failed, he, the Dan Zun, didn't have to live, and just ended it himself.
One hour, two hours, three hours···
Xu shangao looked at the Dante furnace in a daze, and there was no sign of explosion. Everything in the Dante furnace was normal, and the heart clearing pill was gradually condensing and forming.
Xu shangao's face showed ecstasy, and he was so excited that he almost jumped up.
"It's successful! I'm successful! I refined the heart clearing pill!" Xu shangao shouted excitedly.
Fang Lin said helplessly, "elder martial brother Xu, it's just a heart clearing pill. You'd better keep a low profile. You can't be such a man without pursuit."
Xu shangao suddenly looked at Fang Lin and wondered, "how do you know that you should finally put the macaroni in?"
Fang Lin said proudly, "because I'm a genius."
“···”
Xu shangao took a deep look at Fang Lin and said, "brother Fang, can you also refine pills?"
Fang Lin nodded and said very seriously, "that's nature. I'm a genius. As long as it's Alchemy, there's nothing I won't do."
Hearing the words, Xu Shan gaodun turned his mouth and said, "just boast."
Fang Lin is helpless. You don't believe it.
After a pause, Xu shangao said, "but thank you very much. Without your reminder, I might have been getting into the tip of the ox horn."
After speaking, Xu shangao made a deep bow to Fang Lin.
Fang Lin smiled and patted Xu shangao on the shoulder, saying, "elder martial brother Xu didn't want me to be embarrassed in front of everyone before, so I naturally want to help elder martial brother."
Hearing the speech, Xu shangao was also quite impressed. He kindly chose Fang Lin as his Dan boy, and in the twinkling of an eye Fang Lin helped him refine the heart clearing pill. This drink and Peck is really wonderful.
"Elder martial brother Xu, I have something to discuss with you." Fang Lin said with a smile.
