I Am A Dignified Immortal Emperor, But The Sect Actually Let Me Marry
Chapter 21 The First Trial Of Alchemy
The next day.
The morning glow scattered across the entire Extreme Emptiness.
Wei Yunzheng stretched lazily, loosening his muscles and bones, and walked out of the Extreme Emptiness Hall in a lazy and tired state.
In the eyes of others, he appeared carefree and natural, like a gentle and warm-hearted young man.
Outside the hall, Zhou Chouchou had been waiting for a long time and eagerly approached, saying, "Senior Brother!"
Wei Yunzheng nodded and handed the several volumes of pill formulas he was holding to Zhou Chouchou. The two of them set off towards the Pill Peak.
Today, he was planning to study pill formulas and try alchemy. He already had a general understanding of the basic knowledge of alchemy, but lacked practical experience.
Previously, Zhou Chouchou suggested moving the pill furnace and other equipment to the Extreme Emptiness Hall, but Wei Yunzheng felt that it was not quite right.
Aside from the fact that this would burden the fellow disciples, if there were any slight mistakes in the operation and no means of rescue, it could easily lead to a disaster.
If he accidentally burned down the Vast Righteousness Peak, it would be a big trouble.
Even if Perfected Being Sheng Xu doted on him, he would still face punishment.
Of course, if the culprit were Zhou Chouchou, he would probably have to meet his "grandmother".
To be on the safe side, it was better to go to the Pill Peak.
On the way.
Many disciples encountered Wei Yunzheng and their eyes were filled with eagerness. They instantly became die-hard fans, and the female disciples even clamored to give birth to monkeys for the Saint Child.
Wei Yunzheng mostly smiled and ignored them.
On the contrary, Zhou Chouchou became jealous and thought to himself: Are you even worthy?!
Arriving at the Pill Hall.
There were disciples specifically assigned to guide at the entrance.
They bowed respectfully, saying, "Saint Child, the hall master instructed me to arrange the quietest pill refining room for you. Please follow me."
The one who spoke was named Su Cai, a direct disciple of the Pill Hall's hall master.
He carefully examined Wei Yunzheng and felt as if the indifferent eyes contained the entire universe, capable of seeing through people.
Zhou Chouchou spoke up from the side, "Su Cai, not only does the pill room need to be quiet, but my senior brother also needs the best pill furnace."
He naturally recognized Su Cai, after all, the Pill Hall's hall master was his father, although he seriously doubted that he was his biological father...
"That goes without saying."
Under Su Cai's guidance, they arrived at a room closer to the center. In the middle of the room was a huge pill furnace, towering over two people.
"For the Saint Child's first attempt at alchemy, it is not suitable to use a Law Weapon pill furnace. We need to proceed gradually. When there is some progress in the future, Junior Brother will arrange a Law Weapon pill furnace for Senior Brother."
"Although this furnace in front of us is not a Law Weapon, it is not an ordinary iron forge either. It is probably the most suitable one for the Saint Child's alchemy."
Su Cai explained and casually closed the door.
"Junior Brother Su, you've gone through a lot of trouble."
"Not at all."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Su Cai and Zhou Chouchou stepped aside, leaving Wei Yunzheng alone to contemplate and comprehend.
Su Cai had made great achievements in the path of alchemy, and he stayed behind to clarify Wei Yunzheng's doubts and take care of related matters.
These were things that Zhou Chouchou couldn't do, after all, he had joined the Vast Righteousness Peak and hadn't learned alchemy from his father. He was completely ignorant of this path.
Wei Yunzheng focused his attention.
He carefully examined the pill formulas he had brought.
These pill formulas only recorded the names, as well as the precious medicines and methods needed for refining, with most of them not recording their effects.
And Wei Yunzheng discovered that many of them were incomplete, basically useless.
This made Wei Yunzheng's heart burn with excitement.
After all.
In the world of immortals and heroes, the more broken something was, the longer it had been passed down, and the longer it had been passed down, the more precious it was.
How many fragments could transform a person from a loser to a Great Emperor overnight, making all the goddesses around him secretly admire him and all the men around him trampled under his feet?
Wei Yunzheng selected a few pill formulas and prepared to start refining.
First, he chose to try refining the "Yin Yang Fusion Pill".
Just by looking at the name, Wei Yunzheng felt confident.
The fusion of yin and yang, embracing the yin and embracing the yang, seemed to symbolize the alternation between new and old.
Hmm, not simple!
He informed Su Cai of all the medicinal materials needed for the refining, and the latter quickly sent someone to deliver them.
Extreme Emptiness is a place with vast land and abundant resources. Not only are there specialized medicinal plantations within its borders, but the sect's treasure trove is also filled to the brim.
There is no need to worry about gathering enough alchemical ingredients.
Following the proportions and sequence stated in the alchemical formula, Wei Yunzheng began his attempt at alchemy.
The control of the fire and its difficulty.
It requires the control of True Qi to achieve a state where the fire can be manipulated at will.
After a brief attempt, sweat began to bead on Wei Yunzheng's forehead.
Su Cai stepped forward and said, "Saint Child, the first attempt at alchemy consumes a lot of mental energy, and the mastery of the fire's intensity is an extra test of the alchemist's skill."
"If Saint Child needs help, I can assist in controlling the fire and help Saint Child succeed in pill refinement."
Generally speaking, almost everyone fails their first attempt at alchemy. Su Cai's words were meant to help Wei Yunzheng succeed in his first attempt and avoid being discouraged.
Wei Yunzheng shook his head and rejected the proposal. He wanted to try the complete process first and considered any failure as an accumulation of experience.
Seeing this, Su Cai remained silent and observed the situation.
Zhou Chouchou muttered to himself on the side, "Don't worry, my senior brother doesn't need your help."
Su Cai raised an eyebrow and said impatiently, "Don't be too confident. Who can succeed in alchemy on their first try? I'm just looking out for Saint Child, not wanting him to be discouraged."
"My senior brother is not an ordinary person!" Zhou Chouchou glanced at him and lowered his voice, "What he does is not something a normal person would do."
Su Cai took a deep breath and scratched his head. Although the statement sounded strange, it seemed to make sense upon careful consideration.
Curiously, he asked, "Are you currently cultivating with Saint Child?"
Although Zhou Chouchou was under the Vast Righteousness Peak, he hadn't heard anything about the sect leader teaching him anything. He was only responsible for registration under the Vast Righteousness Peak every day.
But since Saint Child came out of seclusion, he had been following him all day.
Zhou Chouchou looked proud and put his arm around Su Cai's shoulder, saying, "It's not exactly cultivating with Saint Child. It's more like mutual encouragement and motivation between me and Saint Child."
Upon hearing this, Su Cai scrutinized Zhou Chouchou and disdainfully said, "Don't speak too highly of yourself. What can you do to mutually encourage Saint Child?"
This made Zhou Chouchou unhappy.
After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said, "You're mistaken. I also have my own shining points."
"Such as?"
"For example, I can highlight my senior brother's extraordinary valor and his sincere heart that is willing to be as humble as cow dung."
For a moment, Su Cai was speechless.
At this moment, Wei Yunzheng withdrew his control of the furnace fire. After waiting for a moment, he opened the furnace lid with anticipation.
Inside, there was no pill as he had imagined.
There was only a blackish-gray pill-like object that had just taken shape.
It seemed like a failure...
Wei Yunzheng wasn't angry either and calmly accepted the fact of failure.
Zhou Chouchou and Su Cai approached.
"How did it go, senior brother? Did you succeed?" Zhou Chouchou seemed more concerned about the result than Wei Yunzheng.
Wei Yunzheng shook his head.
"It must be because the quality of the pill furnace is not good. Otherwise, senior brother would have succeeded with one attempt."
"Or maybe today's condition is not suitable for alchemy?"
Zhou Chouchou desperately tried to find excuses.
Su Cai chuckled and encouraged, "Saint Child, don't be discouraged. It's normal to fail the first time in alchemy. Many people only succeed after years of practice and attempts."
"Like me, it took me several months of attempts before I succeeded for the first time."
"Please don't compare yourself to my senior brother!" Zhou Chouchou immediately retorted, "It's just that my senior brother is not in a good state. Once he adjusts his condition, he will succeed on the second try!"
Su Cai smiled and didn't deny it. There was no need to argue.
Being accepted as a personal disciple by the Pill Hall's hall master was already enough to prove his talent in alchemy.
To successfully refine a pill within a month of the first attempt was already remarkable.
"Su Junior Brother, can you help me analyze what went wrong?" Wei Yunzheng asked, deciding to seek advice from a professional.
Su Cai stepped forward and carefully examined the blackish-gray pill-like object.
Soon, he noticed something abnormal.
He couldn't help but exclaim softly.
