Chapter 2173
“Smelt the Yin Yang Flower first. This thing is the weakest among the six medicinal herbs, but it is also the most difficult one to smelt. If you want to smelt it to a higher degree, you have to smelt it first, then smelt the other medicinal herbs. This way, you can balance the medicinal properties of each other.”
Donghuang Zhong began to give instructions to Xiao Chen, and Xiao Chen also began to smelt the medicinal herbs according to Donghuang Zhong’s instructions.
As time passed, the six medicinal herbs in front of Xiao Chen were almost smelted.
During the smelting process, Xiao Chen found that he was actually very good at smelting these medicinal materials. It was as if he was born with a kind of affinity with these medicinal materials, so he did not feel the slightest hindrance when smelting these medicinal materials. He was able to successfully smelt these six medicinal materials with ease. This kind of feeling even made him feel a little nostalgic and reluctant to part with it.
“Brother Xiao, according to the order I told you before, fuse all these medicinal herbs together. As for whether you can succeed or not, it is up to fate.”
After half an hour, Xiao Chen had smelted all the medicinal herbs, and then Donghuang Zhong said irresponsibly again, and then became silent.
Xiao Chen rolled his eyes. Then, he took a deep breath and put all the ingredients together without a care in the world. He began the final step of the fusion.
“Zi Zi …”
Just as he was about to put these medicinal herbs together, a slight sound came from the alchemy furnace, and Xiao Chen instantly smiled bitterly.
“As expected, I am still going to fail.”
The moment he heard this sound, Xiao Chen already knew the outcome.
Although even Donghuang Zhong said at the beginning that his fusion this time would definitely end in failure, when he smelted different medicinal herbs previously, he still felt very good, and there were no mistakes, so Xiao Chen could not help but have a glimmer of hope in his heart. But now, he was slapped in the face by reality. Although he did not make any mistakes in the process of smelting medicinal herbs alone, when it came to the final fusion, he almost had no foundation in alchemy, and he still could not complete the final fusion.
Sure enough, not long after he had this thought, there was a violent explosion in the alchemy furnace!
Bang bang!
Two consecutive explosions sounded, announcing that Xiao Chen’s smelting this time was a complete failure.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen forced himself to turn around and say to Elder Zhang, “Elder, your disciple has failed to live up to your trust…”
He felt that Elder Zhang would definitely punish him harshly, and then find a reason to casually punish him!
After all, for a person who did not have any foundation in alchemy to smelt such high-grade medicinal herbs, it was simply too difficult!
However, after hearing what Xiao Chen said, Elder Zhang did not have any intention of getting angry, instead, he smiled at him, and actually nodded his head, and praised, “Not bad, you did well!”
“Ah?” Xiao Chen was stunned, and a little confused.
What the hell is going on?
Elder Zhang actually praised me, did I hear it wrong?!
“Haha, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you. However, you have indeed done well this time. This old man is quite satisfied. Although the smelting process was not a complete success, you have displayed sufficient talent in the Dao of alchemy. How about it?
Little fella, are you interested in learning alchemy with me? “Elder Zhang smiled, and then said something that made Xiao Chen dumbfounded.
Is this Elder Zhang’s affirmation of me?
Moreover, Elder Zhang actually said to let me follow him to learn alchemy, this sentence had a deep meaning, didn’t it mean that Elder Zhang had already approved of me in his heart? If I agree, then I will not have to worry about the assessment a hundred years later, I can definitely become an inner sect disciple, and even become Elder Zhang’s disciple.
Becoming an ordinary inner sect disciple and becoming an elder’s disciple, those were two different concepts.
With such a high position in the sect, and a special elder backing him, his status would naturally rise, and he would also be able to obtain many benefits, which was naturally very different from an ordinary disciple.
Xiao Chen’s throat moved, and he wanted to agree, there was nothing to consider at all, okay?
Although he did not know why Elder Zhang would say such a thing after his smelting failed, this was definitely a great opportunity for him.
However, this was definitely a great opportunity for him. It was an opportunity that could immediately make him different from those ordinary disciples. Of course, he had to firmly grasp it. Moreover, after the Eastern Emperor Bell heard Elder Zhang’s words, it had already madly roared at him in his mind, telling him to agree. Therefore, he did not hesitate to agree. However, before he could say anything, a pressure suddenly descended from the sky.
He was stunned, and his mouth opened wide, unable to say anything.
However, Elder Zhang was not affected by this pressure at all, and instead, he directly scolded, “Old Ghost, you old bastard, what are you doing here at this time?!” However, Elder Zhang was not affected by this pressure at all, and instead, he directly scolded.
“Hehe, of course, I am here to visit. Seeing that you are going to accept a disciple, I am so happy that I killed myself, so I came to take a look.” Following Old Ghost’s words, Old Ghost’s figure also appeared in the pill room.
“Whether I accept a disciple or not, what does it have to do with you?” Elder Zhang looked unhappy.
“Hehe, of course, other people’s words have nothing to do with me, but don’t forget the agreement between us last time. This kid has not yet gone to my place, and you already want to monopolize him?
Don’t stare at me!
If you continue to be like this, don’t blame me for directly robbing you. ”
Old Ghost’s eyes widened, and his lips moved slightly, but Xiao Chen did not hear any sound, and it was obvious that he was talking to Elder Zhang through telepathy.
“… Although we did have an agreement last time, you can also see that this kid has such a high talent and affinity for alchemy, naturally, it is better for him to follow me in alchemy.
And didn’t you see that he was about to agree just now? “Elder Zhang frowned, and replied with telepathy as well.
“I don’t care, that is because this kid has not yet gone to my place, and has not yet felt the magic of the array, otherwise, he will not agree to you so easily!” Old Ghost stared!
“…” Elder Zhang was instantly speechless.
“Don’t forget the additional agreement between us. If you break the agreement, heh heh heh heh …” Old Ghost chuckled but did not say anything specific. However, Elder Zhang remained silent.
Then, Elder Zhang raised his head and sighed, “Forget it …”
