Chapter 1272 News About Wei Boyang
When Zhang Daoyi, Fang Yuan and other alchemists left the Hanzhong Marquis Mansion that night, they were still very excited.
It is a rare opportunity to be able to do our part for the people of the world.
After Bai Feng sent Zhang Daoyi and others away, he saw Cao Jie waiting for him to go back to his room to rest.
"Why are you chatting with them so late?"
When Cao Jie came over to change Bai Feng's clothes, he couldn't help but say, with a hint of coquettishness in his tone.
In Cao Jie's view, people like alchemists and alchemists are using their youth to pursue the illusory thing of becoming immortals and ascending to heaven.
It's really a bit ridiculous.
My husband, who is proficient in Taoist magic, has no desire to ascend to immortality, but you mere alchemists who refine poisonous elixirs are still dreaming of becoming immortals and ascending to immortality? !
As for Bai Feng, who had been chatting with these alchemists for so long, Cao Jie didn't know what his husband cared about about the abilities of these alchemists.
After hearing this, Bai Feng smiled at Cao Jie and said:
"Of course I want to have a good chat with these alchemists."
"They will have to sacrifice their lives for me next, in the true sense of the word!"
Cao Jie couldn't help but wonder, why did the alchemist sacrifice his life for Bai Feng?
Could it be that he helped Bai Feng refine the elixir and then ate it himself to see if it could poison the dead?
"Does your husband also want to pursue ascending to immortality?"
"But it doesn't feel very reliable to hold an alchemy festival with them."
Then Cao Jie said to Bai Feng.
"Hahaha, what am I pursuing to ascend to immortality? Jie'er can't really believe those rumors in the room, hahaha!"
Bai Feng couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"Hate!"
Cao Jie looked at Bai Feng who was laughing heartily and couldn't help but give him a roll of his eyes.
"Hahaha, I won't tease you anymore."
After Bai Feng changed into silk pajamas, he stepped forward and hugged Cao Jie, speaking in her ear.
"Didn't I prepare to make nitrate/glycerin explosives because of iron ore mining?"
"But this nitrate/glycerin explosive is quite dangerous to make, and an explosion caused by operational errors can easily take away people's lives."
"So I need these alchemists with experience in refining elixirs to make nitrate/glycerin explosives for me."
Cao Jie felt the heat coming from Bai Feng's body and listened to Bai Feng's explanation.
Cao Jie had already heard Bai Feng mention the nitrification/glycerin dynamite, as well as the manufacturing blueprints for blast furnaces and treasure ships.
She also knew that Bai Feng summoned these alchemists to help him create nitrified/glycerin explosives.
It's just that Cao Jie now knows that the process of making nitrate/glycerin explosives is so dangerous.
"Then husband, just let them help you make nitrate/glycerin explosives. Don't always go inspecting if you have nothing to do."
Cao Jie remembered that when Bai Feng was manufacturing steam engines and steam trains, he always visited the R&D center frequently and personally participated in the manufacturing.
It is so dangerous to make nitrate/glycerin explosives now, and Cao Jie is worried that Bai Feng will be injured.
So when she looked up at Bai Feng, her eyes were full of worry.
Seeing this, Bai Feng couldn't help but lower his head and kiss Cao Jie's lips directly.
After a while, the two of them separated with unfinished business.
Looking at the pretty red-faced Cao Jie, Bai Feng said to her easily:
"Jie'er, don't worry about my safety. Even if there is an accident during the production of nitrified/glycerin explosives, I will be able to resolve it. You have to believe in my husband's strength!"
"Of course I believe in your strength, husband, but I still can't help but worry."
Cao Jie said softly upon hearing this.
"Well, in the future, I won't inspect the nitrification/glycerin production workshop as frequently as I go to the R&D center."
Bai Feng said to Cao Jie.
Normally, Bai Feng would go to inspect and help Zhang Daoyi and the others in their experiments.
After all, Bai Feng didn't want to see alchemists like Zhang Daoyi and Fang Yuan have any accidents happen during the process of making nitrate/glycerin.
But in order to make Cao Jie less worried, he had to make up a reason when he went there in the future.
Cao Jie didn't know that Bai Feng was doing "one thing in front of others and another behind his back", so he nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's take a rest."
"Um."
Cao Jie responded softly with a blush on his face.
The servant of the Hanzhong Hou Mansion who arrived in Liaodong was currently in the mountain village where Fangyuan had stayed before, asking the villagers about Wei Boyang.
Among all the mountain villages at the foot of Changbai Mountain, Wei Boyang has become an immortal who has ascended during the day.
When the local villagers saw outsiders coming to inquire about the immortal's deeds, they all vividly told the story of Wei Boyang's ascension during the day to the servants of the Hanzhong Hou Mansion.
The servants who came were as shocked as Zhang Daoyi when they first heard the story of Wei Boyang's ascension to immortality from Fang Yuan's mouth.
It turns out that the alchemist who we came to look for in Hanzhong has already ascended during the day?
Moreover, these villagers told the story vividly, as if they were all at the scene of Wei Boyang's ascension and witnessed the whole process of Wei Boyang's ascension, as well as his eldest disciple and that little native dog.
If it hadn't been for Bai Feng's warning before setting off, and for hearing four versions of Wei Boyang's ascension with different details in four mountain villages, these servants of the Hanzhong Hou Mansion would have traveled all the way from Hanzhong to find Wei Boyang.
I really thought that Bai Feng asked them to invite an immortal back to Hanzhong.
After the unremitting efforts of these servants, they finally determined the approximate location of Wei Boyang's alchemy cave in the mountains from the mouths of several woodcutters.
So the servants, led by the woodcutters, finally found the cave where Wei Boyang had been before.
"Everyone, two people in a team, search the surrounding mountains and forests, and gather here again in three days."
The middle-aged guard of Hanzhong Houfu said to the remaining servants after the woodcutters who temporarily served as guides left.
These servants all carried armor and swords to deal with wild beasts in the mountains, and Bai Feng also prepared herbs for them to prevent mosquito bites.
Before entering the mountains, everyone also prepared five days of dry food.
According to the arrangement of the captain of the guards, after searching for three days, the dry food was just enough for them to go down the mountain to replenish.
So the six servants, together with the captain of the guards, began to search for Wei Boyang's current traces in the mountains and forests with Wei Boyang's abandoned cave as the center of the circle.
Hard work pays off.
Two days later, the captain of the guards and two servants finally found a cave deep in the mountains, with smoke rising from outside the cave.
"It should be Wei Boyang's cave. Let's go and take a look. Be alert!"
"Yes!"
Under the order of the chief of the guards, the remaining two servants held the hilts of their swords and came to the outside of the cave in a triangle.
