Chapter 58: Heaven-Mystic Eight-Trigram Furnace
"Since this was forged from innate dark iron, let's call it the Heaven-Mystic Eight-Trigram Furnace!"
"Alright, next is to refine some Medicinal Pills according to the methods in the Alchemy Basics Compendium."
Su Yu came to an empty room, which was just right to be used as a Pill Refining Room.
Su Yu took out some Materials for basic Pill Formula and then set up a Qi Gathering Formation in the room. After thinking about it, Su Yu added a defensive Formation as well.
Because he thought that there might be a furnace explosion; after all, he hadn't asked anyone else how to perform Alchemy, so a furnace explosion felt inevitable.
After Su Yu was prepared, he put some Materials for refining Qi Gathering Pills into the Pill Furnace.
The Qi Gathering Pill is a common type of Medicinal Pill. For those who have just stepped into the Qi Refining First Layer, it is a very good auxiliary Medicinal Pill and is also very popular among beginners.
Therefore, this Qi Gathering Pill is the first lesson for every Alchemist and the most basic lesson for becoming an Alchemist.
Su Yu observed the techniques and the control of heat in the Alchemy Basics Compendium, and then performed the same actions.
Soon, as time passed, a muffled sound indeed came; this first attempt at Alchemy had indeed failed.
Su Yu had expected this result, but he was not in a hurry; he would just take it slow.
After several continuous attempts that all failed, this was the consequence of having no guidance; after all, if even one detail was wrong, the Medicinal Pill could not be refined.
But Su Yu could feel his progress every time and would not make the same mistakes as before; this was the benefit brought by proficiency.
As long as there were enough costs, he could succeed.
Soon, Su Yu refined another batch of Medicinal Pills. Seeing that there was no movement from this batch, could it be that it had succeeded?
"It seems I do have some talent for Alchemy. I thought it would take a while to succeed."
At this moment, Su Yu was also a little excited. Looking at the Pill Furnace in front of him, he reached out with a smile on his face to open the lid, but soon he couldn't laugh anymore.
A familiar muffled sound came, and suddenly Su Yu's face was pitch black.
At this time, Su Ling'er, who was watching from the side, laughed out loud upon seeing Su Yu's appearance.
"Uncle Yu, your face, it's too funny, it's all black!"
But in reality, these things did not stick to Su Yu's face; these things had already been blocked by his Qi.
Normal things could not get close to him; it was just a visual error caused by these things remaining on his Qi.
"It seems I still overestimated myself. I didn't expect this Pill Furnace to pull this on me, a delayed explosion."
"Alright, it seems I should honestly build up my proficiency. At most, my talent for Alchemy is just a bit better than the average person."
"After all, I am at least a Three Spiritual Root that is compatible with Alchemy attributes."
During this period, after Su Yu's continuous attempts, on this day, Su Yu looked at the Pill Furnace that was finally emitting the fragrance of Medicinal Pills.
He also sighed that without anyone teaching him how to refine, relying on this Alchemy Basics Compendium was truly not easy. This time, there shouldn't be any problems, right?
Subsequently, Su Yu opened the Pill Furnace in front of him, and saw ten Qi Gathering Pills emitting medicinal fragrance lying inside the Pill Furnace.
Su Yu picked up one of them and looked at the Qi Gathering Pill in his hand. "Finally succeeded. It really wasn't easy."
After Su Yu's investigation, the quality of this Qi Gathering Pill was quite good, and its effect was much better than ordinary Qi Gathering Pills.
It seems that the effect of the Pill Furnace forged with innate dark iron and Innate Qi is indeed quite good.
"Alright, since I have successfully refined the Qi Gathering Pills, I must get something to eat to reward myself."
As for this Alchemy, he could just take some time every day to practice it later. He had to follow his own pace; he was not in a hurry.
Subsequently, Su Yu came to the lakeside to prepare to catch a few fish to eat. He still enjoyed this kind of daily activity very much.
Su Yu looked at the fish caught from the lake. "I'll roast these fish to eat. It just so happens that the pepper powder and other things I made based on the barbecue seasonings from my previous life haven't been used up yet."
Su Yu took the fish to the barbecue grill by the lake; this was something Su Yu had specially forged according to the shape from his previous life for barbecuing.
Only Su Yu was so particular in this cultivation world; generally, once others reached the Bigu Realm, they basically rarely ate anymore.
As for Su Yu, he couldn't do without three meals a day; as long as he had time, he would eat every day.
At this moment, Su Yu smelled the fragrance of the roasted fish and his appetite was wide open. "Indeed, in this world, only food cannot be let down."
Just as Su Yu was about to enjoy these roasted fish, Han Ting ran over again.
Su Yu looked at Han Ting's expression; it seemed she had something to ask him again. Otherwise, based on his understanding of Han Ting, she wouldn't have come with this expression.
"Uncle Yu, you're roasting fish! It smells so good. It seems I've come at just the right time!"
Han Ting did not stand on ceremony either; she picked up the fish that Su Yu had just roasted and started eating.
"It's so delicious, so fragrant! Uncle Yu, everything you make is so delicious."
Su Yu also picked up a roasted fish and started eating, watching Han Ting eating the roasted fish in big bites.
"Eat slowly, there is more. Tell me, what do you want to find me for this time?"
"As expected, I can't hide anything from you, Uncle Yu. It's nothing major, I just want you to teach me a few more songs. I lost to someone else in playing the zither."
Oh, he didn't expect Han Ting to actually compete with someone else in Musical Talent and end up losing.
Su Yu knew that Han Ting was a bit unwilling to admit defeat; otherwise, she wouldn't have come to find him.
Based on his understanding of Han Ting's Musical Talent, plus his occasional guidance, ordinary people could not compare with her.
"Is that person very good at playing the zither?"
"No, just a little bit better than me, but I am still very unwilling to accept it."
"Alright, isn't that why I'm here? I'll just teach you."
You can win it back then. After all, the reason why Han Ting learned to play the zither was, in the end, influenced by him.
"Alright, just come to my place to practice the zither when you have time later, and I will guide you."
"But later I have to go give a lecture on the Dao first; I haven't been there for a while."
"Hehe, I want to go and see too, to see how Uncle Yu gives lectures on the Dao to those new Disciples."
"You just like to join in the fun. Alright, hurry up and finish eating, we have to set off."
Han Ting followed Su Yu to the chores area, but just at this moment, Su Yu saw someone suppressing others.
A person who had just entered the Qi Refining First Layer not long ago was lying on the ground injured, and another person at the Qi Refining First Layer was blocking in front of this injured person.
Wang Xiaoqiang looked at the person in front of him who wanted to stand up for someone else and said:
"Just you, you're also only at the Qi Refining First Layer, yet you dare to stand up for others? Do you also want to taste the feeling of being bullied?"
Yun Kai looked at Wang Xiaoqiang and said firmly: "I will not move away. What kind of ability is it to bully those who are weak?"
The crowd nearby was also whispering.
"Look, Wang Xiaoqiang is bullying the weak again. Relying on his cultivation at the Qi Refining Second Layer, he is acting tyrannically."
Just as Han Ting couldn't bear to watch and was about to step forward.
Leng Jiahang appeared in front of the three of them.
