Chapter 1270: Searching for Wei Boyang
Then Bai Feng invited Zhang Daoyi and Fang Yuan to stay at his house for dinner that night.
During the dinner, Bai Feng also introduced Fang Yuan to Cao Jie and others, and expressed his recognition and appreciation for Fang Yuan's ability.
Fang Yuan, who often visits various famous mountains and rivers and refines pills while practicing, has naturally met many officials.
He feels that Bai Feng is different from them.
This feeling is not because of Bai Feng's various halos and combat performance bonuses, nor because Bai Feng himself is proficient in Taoism.
What Fang Yuan feels around Bai Feng is a true equality.
This is something Fang Yuan has never experienced in his high-ranking officials and princes.
Of course, Fang Yuan doesn't know that Bai Feng's high-profile recruitment of alchemists is to let them help him make nitration/glycerin explosives.
In the true sense of "working hard" for Bai Feng.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Bai Feng finally extended an olive branch to Fang Yuan.
"Fellow Daoist Fang, how about you stay in Hanzhong and develop in the future?"
During the dinner, Bai Feng also learned that Fang Yuan's parents were no longer alive. He had practiced Taoism and alchemy for many years, traveled all over Wei, and had not married or had children.
As long as Fang Yuan nodded, Bai Feng could directly let Fang Yuan settle down in Hanzhong.
Fang Yuan smiled and nodded to Bai Feng and said:
"Thank you for the favor of Hanzhong Hou. I am grateful for your appreciation."
"I came to Hanzhong this time, and I was originally planning to serve Hanzhong Hou."
Fang Yuan expressed an equal and friendly attitude towards Bai Feng, and Bai Feng's possession of many Taoist arts made it impossible to refuse Bai Feng's recruitment.
"Hahaha, cheers!"
Bai Feng laughed happily when he heard this.
Zhang Daoyi, a local of Hanzhong, was also very happy to know that he could work with Fang Yuan in the future, and drank the glass at the same time.
After recruiting Fang Yuan to his command, Bai Feng began to send people to Liaodong to find Wei Boyang.
When Bai Feng sent people to Liaodong to look for Wei Boyang, Fang Yuan and Zhang Daoyi helped Bai Feng identify the alchemists who came to Hanzhong one after another.
Now, there are more than 50 alchemists who have come to Hanzhong.
Most of the alchemists in Yizhou have come to Hanzhong.
There are rumors among the people that Bai Feng is now refining elixirs, wanting to pursue immortality.
After hearing the rumors among the people, Cao Jie teased Bai Feng.
"Husband, if you really refine the elixir, will you eat it if there is only one?"
Facing this fatal question, Bai Feng directly answered that he would only refine one elixir and would never eat it.
When the second elixir is refined, eat it with Cao Jie.
Cao Jie laughed after hearing Bai Feng's answer.
Liuli raised her little mouth when she heard it.
Bai Feng covered his face helplessly with his hands. How many elixirs would be enough!
Another week passed, and no new alchemists came to Hanzhong.
Those alchemists who were just filling in the numbers and the charlatans were screened out by Zhang Daoyi and Fang Yuan, and finally driven out of the city by the soldiers of Hanzhong.
And these alchemists who were just filling in the numbers and the charlatans were also severely punished by the soldiers of Hanzhong.
Dare to cheat the head of Hanzhong Hou, are you going to die?
There are only thirteen alchemists who are really proficient in alchemy. If Zhang Daoyi and Fang Yuan are counted, there are now fifteen alchemists in Hanzhong.
Bai Feng felt that it was time to explain to these alchemists what he asked them to come to Hanzhong.
After all, the next thing is really risking their lives.
So Bai Feng held a banquet in the mansion and invited all fifteen alchemists including Zhang Daoyi and Fang Yuan to the mansion.
"First of all, let me explain to you that I didn't ask you to come here to refine some elixir to pursue ascension or immortality as the rumors in the market."
Bai Feng first refuted the rumors.
Zhang Daoyi, Fang Yuan and other sorcerers all smiled when they heard this.
Elixir and immortality, these alchemists are confused. After all, except for the legend, no one has seen any alchemist really successfully refine the elixir, and then ascend to heaven in broad daylight after taking it.
Most of the elixirs are made, and after taking them, they either have stomachaches and turn into jet fighters.
Or they directly poison themselves to death, but alchemists basically call alchemists who are poisoned by their own elixirs "transmigration".
Then Bai Feng continued:
"Now Hanzhong needs to open a mine, which is why I called you all here."
"Open a mine?!"
Alchemists including Zhang Daoyi and Fang Yuan did not expect that Bai Feng would summon so many alchemists for this reason.
The key is that they are proficient in alchemy, and no one has experience in mining!
Seeing everyone's confusion, Bai Feng continued to explain:
"Different from traditional mining, I want a more efficient mining."
"This requires something, that is nitration/glycerol explosives. I asked you to come here because I want you to help me refine nitration/glycerol explosives!"
The alchemists present were still confused after hearing about nitration/glycerol explosives.
This was the first time everyone heard of the term nitration/glycerol explosives.
Then Bai Feng explained the role and power of nitration/glycerol explosives again.
Zhang Daoyi, Fang Yuan and other alchemists were shocked by the power of nitration/glycerol explosives described by Bai Feng.
"Hanzhong Hou, is this nitrified/glycerin dynamite really capable of breaking mountains and cracking rocks?"
Zhang Daoyi couldn't help but asked Bai Feng.
"Of course, so the process of refining nitrate/glycerin explosives is full of dangers."
"This is why I called you all here. Most people really don't have that experience."
After Bai Feng finished speaking, the expressions of less than half of the alchemists present changed.
"I wonder if the danger Hanzhong mentioned is that there is poisonous gas in the refining process of the nitrated/glycerin dynamite, or is it easy to explode?"
The well-informed Fang Yuan looked as usual, and then asked Bai Feng.
"Yes, during the process of refining nitrification/glycerin, some toxic gases will indeed be produced, but as long as the protection is good, it will not cause any major harm to people."
"The most dangerous thing is an accidental explosion!"
When Bai Feng said this, his expression became very serious.
The alchemists present could also feel the seriousness of Bai Feng's words.
Bai Feng had to explain clearly to these alchemists the problem of killing people due to improper operation during the refining process of the nitrified/glycerin dynamite that could break mountains and crack rocks.
Otherwise, if they really start refining nitrified/glycerin explosives, after some alchemists are killed, the rest will probably run away.
