Chapter 167 Alchemy
The Penglai Sect in the East China Sea is really wealthy. After this battle of annihilation, Lu Sen gained a lot.
Lu Sen no longer cared about money, but Yu He's training cellar was filled with a large amount of top-notch medicinal materials, which was an extremely rare treasure in itself and much more precious than money.
Sometimes, no matter how much money you have, you can’t buy a hundred-year-old ginseng, not to mention that some of the medicinal ingredients in it are materials for making elixirs.
Now Lu Sen has built the alchemy furnace given by the system, but what he didn't expect was that the alchemy furnace also has its own "recipe" requirements, and it is linked to the character level, with two added for each level. Now Lu Sen only has eight alchemy recipes.
Then due to the shortage of materials, he was unable to refine a single prescription.
The blue pill doesn't count, that's a system formula.
The medicines refined in the alchemy furnace are mostly related to spiritual practice.
Such as Tongmai Jingti Pills, Taishen Jingyang Pills and so on.
While on the boat, Lu Sen thoroughly checked these medicinal materials and found that some of them could be put together to make a furnace of pills.
He immediately put the herbs into the system backpack, and then said to Mu Guiying beside him: "I'll trouble my mother-in-law to take care of the rest. I'll go back to the cave first. There are some things that need to be tested."
"Then you go back first. Jinhua and I will follow the boat."
Lu Sen nodded and left first in the aircraft.
Zhao Bilian also stayed. She said she wanted to try the feeling of drifting on the sea on a boat and accompany Jinhua at the same time.
Watching Lu Sen's aircraft turn into a small dot in the air and finally disappear, Mu Guiying smiled and said to Yang Jinhua: "The old lady said that you are blessed and the most blessed daughter since the Yang family established the ancestral temple. This is true."
Yang Jinhua smiled happily.
"Hey, Aunt Ying, didn't you say before that a man who only marries one woman and doesn't take concubines is a good man?" Zhao Bilian looked at Mu Guiying with a pair of almond blossom eyes in confusion: "Why do you think the husband is good now? He has three women like us."
Zhao Bilian used to often go to the Yang family to play with Jinhua, so she was familiar with everyone in the Yang family.
The relationship is very close.
Mu Guiying shook her head and smiled, "Jinhua was still young at that time, so as a mother I had to say that. Did I teach her to marry a man with multiple wives and concubines? That was a different time, and this is a different time."
Although Mu Guiying was considered a relatively independent woman, during this period, women's independence was not considered an "awakening" but more of a stubbornness and rebellion because there was no specific, systematic ideological guidance.
Even with a "tiger" like Mu Guiying at home, Yang Zongbao still took a concubine, although that concubine died of illness less than half a year after entering Tianbo Mansion, and Yang Zongbao also died in battle shortly afterwards.
Therefore, in the Yang family's "memory", that concubine was almost non-existent.
But no matter what, it is true that Yang Zongbao took a concubine, and Mu Guiying acquiesced to it, which is also a fact.
Even though she was more independent and strong than most women in the Northern Song Dynasty, she was still inevitably influenced by certain rules in that era.
Yang Jinhua smiled and said, "My husband is generous and kind. It is my blessing to marry him."
"I think so too." Zhao Bilian shouted from the side.
"Since you feel blessed, then work hard to train so that you can help your husband in the future." Mu Guiying lay on the side of the boat, looking at the sea-sky line in the distance, listening to the rustling sea breeze, and said, "Although I don't understand what your husband wants to do, he has a big plan, which should be true. If one day you hold your son-in-law back, you will feel unwilling and guilty even if you commit suicide."
Jinhua pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer.
"I know that you appear to be frivolous and have great martial arts skills, but you are actually just a little woman at heart." Mu Guiying smiled slowly, "Because I was the same before, thinking of spending my life playing and fighting with the master. But after Zongbao got into trouble, my thoughts changed. In fact, mother, I regret it now. If I had not been playful when I was young and had worked hard to improve myself, and had been as powerful as I am now, Zongbao might have survived, and many of your uncles, aunts, and cousins would probably have survived as well."
After saying this, Mu Guiying gently stroked Zao Jian on her shoulder and sighed slightly.
Yang Jinhua looked at her mother who had suddenly fallen into depression and opened her mouth, not knowing how to comfort her.
But at this time, Zhao Bilian suddenly appeared, patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Ying, Jinhua and Master are all in my care. Now my sword-controlling skills are almost perfect. When I have mastered the ten thousand swords, I will prick anyone who dares to bully Master, Jinhua, and Mei'er into hedgehogs."
Mu Guiying looked at Yang Jinhua who was a little uneasy, and then at Zhao Bilian who was full of vigor and vitality. She suddenly laughed, pulled the two juniors to her side, and said, "I worry too much. One of you is responsible for the food, clothing, and health of your son-in-law, and the other helps him beat people. Then Mei'er helps him with strategies. It's just right. It's my fault. I shouldn't have said nonsense and let you bear so much burden."
At this time, Mu Guiying suddenly realized that since Jinhua alone could not completely help Lu Sen, what about adding Bilian and Mei'er?
The three of them together just complement each other's strengths and weaknesses. Could it be that the son-in-law took this into consideration and took all three sisters in one fell swoop?
If this is true, my son-in-law is quite amazing.
Suddenly, Lu Sen's image became somewhat subtle in Mu Guiying's mind.
Just as she was sighing inwardly, she saw an incredibly handsome man in black walking past her.
It’s Bai Yutang.
Mu Guiying thought for a moment and called out, "Young Master Bai, please stay. Can you come over and have a chat?"
Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment, then he came over obediently, clasped his hands together and said, "Bai greets Marshal Mu."
The righteous people in the martial arts world have always admired the Yang family, and Bai Yutang is the same.
"No problem." Mu Guiying returned the greeting with a smile, and then said, "I see that you have a gloomy face, as if you are in trouble?"
“Not really…”
Bai Yutang seemed a little hesitant. He was in a period of confusion.
The previous battle between Mu Guiying and her daughter and Yu He really refreshed his three views.
He was considered a top-notch young master in the martial arts world, but in front of Yu He, he couldn't even block a finger.
However, after the mother and daughter joined forces, they were able to beat the Martial Saint Yu He to death.
How big is the gap? You can tell just by comparing them.
So now Bai Yuting is wondering what kind of place he will have in the world in the future. It's really ridiculous.
Real masters all live in seclusion, or at least are not well-known.
But those of us who are half-baked are feeling dizzy and panic.
Nicknames like the world's number one master, the world's number one hidden weapon master, and the Five Rats of Loyalty were shouted out loudly.
The result was a complete joke.
He even had some thoughts of retiring from society.
At this time, Mu Guiying took out a booklet from behind her and handed it to Bai Yutang: "This is the Wu-I-Luxury Technique that my son-in-law gave me before. He said that this technique looked evil and he didn't want to practice it. Then he asked me if there was any way to improve it."
Bai Yuting looked at Mu Guiying strangely.
"After reading it once, I found that there is nothing that can be improved. This is a rare and good method, and it is somewhat related to the immortal method." Mu Guiying chuckled and said, "My son-in-law is extremely talented and brilliant, so he thinks he can practice this skill of forgetting both things and myself, and from then on he will be emotionless and desireless and not human, so he thinks it is evil. But ordinary people don't have this ability. If it were me, I would be very powerful if I could practice two points of this skill, and the same is true for you."
Bai Yuting understood Mu Guiying's thoughts.
"So take it, and practice as much as you can. It should be much more powerful than your current skills." Mu Guiying pushed the booklet forward a little: "You and my son-in-law are friends, so he shouldn't mind if I give it to you."
Bai Yutang did not take it. He looked away from the book with difficulty and asked, "What do you want in exchange?"
"When you have improved your skills, find an opportunity to help my son-in-law. He has great ambitions and will definitely need a lot of patriots and retainers around him in the future."
Bai Yutang looked at Mu Guiying deeply, took the booklet with both hands, and said solemnly: "From now on, I will follow Master Lu's lead."
"Remember your promise." Mu Guiying smiled.
On the other side, Lu Sen returned to the cave and went straight to the alchemy room.
This alchemy room was built independently in a hidden compartment on the rear mountain wall. Alchemy requires air circulation and it is also dangerous in case of a furnace explosion or something... so it is normal to keep it as far away from the living area as possible.
The core material of the alchemy furnace is also meteorite iron, but it has been almost two years since it was made and has never been used.
Today I can finally try it out.
Lu Sen looked at the recipe, then slowly found the materials from the system backpack, mixed them one by one, and put them into the alchemy furnace.
Then connect the redstone energy pack to the alchemy furnace for energy supply.
Then the alchemy furnace started running.
The most powerful feature of the system is this automation function.
You just need to provide the materials, and the subsequent synthesis steps can be almost completely omitted.
Now, the system prompts that the alchemy has begun and it will take five hours for the pill to be ready.
He just waits.
Lu Sen returned to the garden , took a rest and drank some mead. When he saw Yaoyao and Kunkun sparring, he walked over.
“Master!”
"master!"
Seeing Lu Sen coming, the two little girls immediately put down their homework and ran to Lu Sen to greet him.
Lu Sen sat on the stone chair in the pavilion and asked, "Are there any questions about your recent homework?"
The two girls shook their heads at the same time.
The two of them are now only practicing the basic techniques, which are very simple, and Yang Jinhua is also teaching very well. They have not yet been exposed to the higher level techniques, so of course they have no doubts.
Therefore, for those who have worked hard to study and learned arithmetic, their logical thinking will improve a lot and their learning ability will also increase accordingly.
Compared to other girls of their age, they are much smarter.
"You have been in the cave for more than three months."
The two nodded at the same time.
"Do you feel bored?" Lu Sen asked with a smile.
It was difficult for most people to stay in the cave for too long. Even Yang Jinhua, Bilian and Mei'er, who were older, more sensible and had many things to do, still felt that although the cave was beautiful, it was boring after staying there for more than a year, and they always wanted to go outside to see the scenery.
Neither of them spoke; they just looked at Lu Sen timidly.
In fact, they did feel annoyed. After all, they both came from Suzhou, a land of glamor and had grown up living a prosperous and lively life. Although the workload in the brothel was heavy, it did not mean that they did not know what prosperity and life were.
When Lu Sen saw them like this, he knew that they wanted to go out for a walk.
He thought it was normal. What kind of child would like to stay in a place where the scenery hardly changes for a long time?
"Since you are bored and your studies have been progressing quickly recently, I will give you a task."
The two girls' eyes lit up, and Yaoyao said anxiously, "Master, just give us your instructions, and we will definitely get it done."
Kunkun nodded vigorously in agreement.
"You two also know how to synthesize giant rice." Lu Sen drank the honey wine and then said, "And in three months, it will be spring ploughing again. Now in the Bitian Pavilion in Hangzhou City, there are already a large number of dignitaries waiting to exchange our giant rice seeds."
The two girls listened very carefully.
"Although I have synthesized a large batch, it is still not enough." Lu Sen smiled and said, "So you two have to help synthesize it, but there is a condition, that is, you two must go to the Bitian Pavilion and synthesize the giant rice in front of those people. The spiritual energy of the two of you is not enough, each of you can synthesize about 300 kilograms a day, and then you can rest, and then walk around Hangzhou every day, which is considered to be a relaxation after homework. Are you willing to do it?"
At this time, the two girls smiled happily and nodded repeatedly, almost kowtowing to each other.
Lu Sen shouted to the side: "Heizhu, take the two of them out, stay in the Bitian Pavilion first, explain this matter to the owner of the Bitian Pavilion, and at the same time let a dozen good fighters secretly protect them."
Hei Zhu took a look and said, "My dear, how about I protect the two young ladies in secret myself?"
Now Hei Zhu is already very strong. He first trained with the black-clothed generals, and later was taught Yang family's external boxing by Yang Jinhua for more than a year.
He practiced very seriously, thirteen hours a day without stopping. When his hand bones were sore, he would take a sip of honey water and continue. In just one and a half years, he had mastered the Yang family's external boxing to perfection.
Combined with the jewelry that provides +3 defense, although the pair of iron arms cannot be said to be invincible, they can still be ranked among the top masters.
Besides, Heizhu grew up as a beggar and had rich experience in the market and folk life. With him watching the two girls secretly and a dozen family guards on board, safety would not be a problem.
"Okay." Lu Sen nodded.
Then Heizhu said to another girl next to him: "Ringo, your food, clothing, housing and transportation will be left to you during this period."
Ringo smiled with curved eyebrows: "Brother Heizhu , don't worry."
Then Heizhu left the cave with the two excited girls.
Lu Sen sat in the pavilion for a while, talked to Ringo, and then walked towards the alchemy room.
Because the time has come...the elixir has been produced.
