"Hmm. You look like you're a man of indomitable spirit, but you haven't experienced many setbacks. It's just that you've been through a lot in terms of relationships," Grandmaster Chen teased.
"Uh …" I scratched my head and smiled awkwardly.
However, Grandmaster Chen thought about it again. I'm only eighteen or nineteen years old, and my life experience is limited. Compared to my peers, I'm already quite good, so he shouldn't expect too much from me.
"Master, how do you think we should deal with this?" I asked anxiously.
"As martial artists, we shouldn't interfere in these things. However, this has gone beyond the scope of a small fight, and has completely crossed the line. If Huang Yaoshi doesn't notice anything, he will continue to provide the pills. At that time, he will be caught red-handed, and all we need to do is follow the clues and testify against him. Then, the mastermind behind this will have to bear the blame," Grandmaster Chen said.
"Yes, yes. Master's words make sense." I gave him a thumbs up.
"However, it's best to inform Elder Li about this in advance, so that he won't carelessly take the pills again," Grandmaster Chen muttered.
"Alright, I'll contact him later," I readily agreed.
"Remember, only inform Elder Li. I suspect that there might be a mole in the Li family."
Grandmaster Chen's expression was uncertain. Not only did the Li family hold real power, but they also had Li Meiyu, a gem. Her mind contained hundreds of martial arts techniques. Whether it was the martial artists of Hua Xia or some foreign powers, they were all curious about her.
Actually, a few years ago, there were martial arts sects that invited Li Meiyu, hoping that she could join them as long as she taught their disciples regularly. However, Li Meiyu rejected them. Fortunately, the Li family had a deep foundation, so they weren't afraid of the wrath of the martial arts sects.
However, because of this matter, the Li family had offended some powers, and many of them had made life difficult for them. To put it bluntly, Li Meiyu was a moving Martial Saint Tablet. Director Du had repeatedly warned me not to mention the Martial Saint Tablet to others because of this concern.
Even when Grandmaster Chen asked me about it, I could only answer vaguely. Fortunately, he didn't ask me about it. After all, I have many secrets, some of which I don't even dare to think about.
Just like that, after discussing with Grandmaster Chen, he brought me to the underground secret room again. Actually, besides some ancient books and martial arts, there were also many bottles and jars. After searching for a long time, he took out three alchemy furnaces.
Grandmaster Chen pointed at one of the cauldrons and explained, "These are some of the things I collected when I was young. These two are level one alchemy cauldrons, and this one is level two. If you want to use them, take this one. It can increase the success rate of making pills by five to twenty percent." Grandmaster Chen pointed at one of the cauldrons and explained.
I took a closer look. It was a one-meter-tall stove with ancient carvings of dragons and tigers on the outside. There was some waste at the bottom of the stove. At first glance, I knew it was an ancient item.
I searched in my mind, then made a list of materials and asked Grandmaster Chen to prepare it. It wasn't difficult for him. As the holy land of martial arts, the capital not only had many strong people, but it also had a special industrial chain in the area of natural treasures. It was just that ordinary people couldn't get in touch with them.
In the past, when Grandmaster Chen was short of money, he would sell some things. After all, the Guowei Martial Arts School had to maintain its normal operation, so it inevitably had to spend big and small expenses.
About two hours later, Grandmaster Chen brought back the materials I wanted. Soon, I struck while the iron was hot and began my journey of alchemy.
In fact, whether it was making the black mud mask or acupuncture, they were somewhat similar to alchemy. Whether it was the heat or the time, they had to be controlled very accurately. Moreover, one thing that was difficult to guarantee was the success rate of the pills!
When Huang Yaoshi bragged in front of me, I didn't take it seriously. When I really tried it, I found that it wasn't as simple as I thought. What made me depressed was that after the first furnace of pills was refined, all of them turned into dregs …
I didn't hesitate. After a little analysis of the reason, I continued the second furnace. With the previous experience, I became more and more careful. However, the second batch of pills was still not satisfactory.
After these attempts, I found that the most difficult part was condensing the pills. If I didn't control it well, it wouldn't be a round pill. To put it bluntly, this process was to condense the liquid materials into granules.
After I summarized it, I immediately came up with an idea.
I had an idea and surged the two forces in my body, adding them to the bottom of the furnace. In this way, the purity of the flame could be strengthened. Not only could it improve the quality of the pills, but it could also have unexpected effects.
There was no doubt that this kind of waiting process made me anxious and expectant. When I tried it for the third time, a fresh and pleasant smell filled the entire room. It was as if I was in a natural oxygen bar. I couldn't help but take a few deep breaths. It was simply too refreshing.
I couldn't wait to raise my hand, and a few freshly made pills floated to me.
These pills emitted a jade-green glow and contained a strange power.
"Condensing Energy Pill!" A smile appeared at the corner of my mouth. According to the internal strength system, this should be regarded as a second-stage pill.
For most internal strength martial artists, body tempering was a boring process. Moreover, modern people had enjoyed a comfortable living environment for a long time, so they didn't want to improve their physique step by step.
At least more than 80% of the disciples of the Guowei Martial Arts School were not qualified in terms of physique. To put it bluntly, they only had the cultivation of the third or fourth level of the Supreme Power Realm, but they didn't have a strong body. This was a problem that couldn't be ignored.
This kind of pill could solve this problem very well. Because it was a second-stage pill, it could play a miraculous role for internal strength martial artists below the sixth level of the Supreme Power Realm.
