Chapter 182 Turning the Tide
Shi Hao rubbed his chin, it was the first time he was thrown off by a woman halfway.
It's not that his charm has declined - if his charm is not enough, how can Qiaoqiao forget about his master's affairs and deliberately lead him astray in order to increase the time spent with him?
However, this is really enough!
Shi Hao sighed, walked to the front corner, he turned left as he said, but he walked forward for a long time, but the place was empty, where is anyone?
He had no choice but to walk away.
Anyway, as long as you meet another person, just ask him.
Walking and walking, he suddenly smelled the fragrance of medicine.
Someone is making alchemy.
OK, you can ask someone.
He entered a courtyard, which was extremely quiet, and there was an alchemy room in the courtyard, with no walls around it, only six simple pillars supporting the roof, so the lighting was quite good.
This... can only be regarded as a pavilion, right?
There is a pill furnace in the pavilion, and there is a raging flame burning, and an old man is standing beside him, pulling charcoal to lower the temperature of the fire.
The old man glanced at Shi Hao, and immediately said: "Why are you standing still, why don't you come to cool down the fire for the old man."
Shi Hao was taken aback for a moment, but since he wanted to ask others for directions, he should help him.
He walked over and pulled out charcoal from the stove with tools.
"Stop!" The old man was paying attention to the temperature of the furnace, and quickly pressed his hand.
Shi Hao discovered that the alchemy level here is obviously stronger than where he came from.
Not to mention anything else, the alchemy furnace here depicts a circle of circles according to the height, and the surrounding will change color according to the temperature, so it is easy for alchemists to determine the temperature of each position of the alchemy furnace.
You must know that among the factors that affect the success rate of alchemy and the effect of alchemy, furnace temperature is definitely the most critical link.
So, such a pill stove is revolutionary.
The old man commanded, while Shi Hao added or decreased charcoal according to the other party's request to control the furnace temperature.
After a while, Shi Hao could already conclude what kind of elixir the old man was refining.
Turn Cyan Frost Pill three times.
This can increase the cultivation speed of the strong Guan Zizai. After Shi Hao knows the division of martial arts realms, he can also match his alchemy knowledge with the martial arts level.
In addition to the normal refining difficulty, this elixir has three rounds.
That is to say, it needs to be refined three times in total.
For ordinary alchemists, the success rate of alchemy is estimated to be only 50% - the higher the level of the elixir, the lower the success rate. Mistakes are all failures.
Therefore, very few people would turn to the Cyan Frost Pill three times, because the success rate for most people is only more than 10%.
Now, the old man has reached the third level of refining, so there is basically no need to add any materials, the main thing is to control the fire temperature to sublimate the medicinal power.
"Not good! Not good!" The old man suddenly exclaimed, he made a mistake in controlling the fire, and he was about to fail.
He staggered back, looking very decadent.
What a pity.
Shi Hao thought in his heart that he had stepped forward, replaced the old man, and continued to refine.
Although he is not specialized in alchemy, Yuan Chengmie was a strong builder of the ladder back then, and there are few alchemists of the corresponding level in the world who can refine elixirs for him, so many elixirs are actually refined by himself.
Therefore, this four-star elixir is really trivial to Shi Hao.
Isn't it just that the fire temperature is out of control?
Indeed, ordinary alchemists must be helpless, but Shi Hao is different. He rotated nine rotations to plunder the heavenly scriptures, and plundered a large amount of fire elements, causing the furnace temperature to drop all of a sudden.
This is inconceivable, because even if all the charcoal is taken away, the furnace temperature will only slowly decrease, and if the ice element is used to suppress the furnace temperature, the cold and heat will burst, and the pill furnace may explode directly.
——If not, the old man would not have given up directly.
"Huh?" The old man was shocked and stared blankly at Shi Hao.
This guy is actually more proficient than himself, adding and reducing charcoal with one hand, and flipping the pill furnace with the other hand, so that the pills in it can be heated evenly, and "enjoy" different temperatures on different alchemy walls.
Niubi.
The old man was dumbfounded, how old is this boy?
Seventeen? eighteen?
But why is his attainment in alchemy so amazing?
The batch of pills just now seemed to be doomed, but when he made a move, he managed to turn the tide.
You know, he is already the highest-ranked alchemist in Sanyuan City, and also the only four-star alchemist. He is the only one in the entire alchemy city who can refine three-turn Cyan Frost Pill.
But now?
He is more proficient than himself, even relaxed and comfortable.
How could he not get his scalp numb in shock.
Could it be that God Alchemy failed to reincarnate?
He was close to success, but he fell short for the mountain, and now he was rescued by Shi Hao, and it only took a while, and the three-turn Cyan Frost Pill was finally refined.
Shi Hao turned on the furnace and quickly dissipated the high temperature, allowing the pill to take shape.
In the furnace, the eight elixirs are all green and verdant.
The old man also saw it, and was naturally even more shocked. This was supposed to be a batch of waste pills, but now none of them are broken, it is simply a miracle.
"Okay." Shi Hao looked at the old man, "I'll do you a favor, and you can do me a favor too."
The old man was already astonished, his eyes were filled with admiration.
There are no seniors in learning, and those who are capable are teachers. Judging from Shi Hao's performance just now, the opponent is at least at the level of a four-star alchemist, and even far better than him.
He is obsessed with alchemy, but has encountered a bottleneck, and in the alchemy city, no one is far weaker than him, so who can he ask for advice?
Now he has a lot of questions and wants to ask Shi Hao for advice.
Therefore, when Shi Hao asked him to do a favor, he of course took it seriously and said, "Please tell me, little friend."
"Where is the alchemist assessment, and how do I get there?" Shi Hao asked.
Huh!
The old man opened his mouth halfway, his face full of disbelief.
You, a great alchemist, turned the tide for me, and ended up asking for a way?
After all, I am also the only four-star alchemist in Sanyuan City, the master of the alchemy city, and the dignified president!
"Hey, don't you know?" Seeing the other party's stupidity, Shi Hao thought the old man didn't know, so he felt embarrassed, "Forget it, I'll ask someone else."
"Wait." The old man hurriedly said, he was mainly too ignorant to short-circuit his brain, "You turn left when you go out, turn right at the third intersection, and go forward for about half a mile, you will see A tower, that is."
"Okay, thank you." Shi Hao was very polite and went out.
The old man put away the elixir first, if he left it like this, the potency would be lost easily.
Then, he slapped his thigh, why didn't he even ask Shi Hao's name.
It doesn't matter, since the other party asks for directions, they will definitely go there.
