Chapter 1698
1698 You can insult the body, but not the personality
Ling Chuxi took a closer look and sure enough, there were a total of nine array techniques engraved on it.
Ling Chuxi was a little dumbfounded at that moment. A normal alchemy furnace would be engraved with arrays in order to allow the medicinal ingredients to fuse better and increase the success rate of refining pills. However, because the size of the alchemy furnace was limited, the difficulty of engraving arrays was too high. Therefore, there would usually be two or three arrays engraved at most. It was not like this super large alchemy furnace of his, which had nine arrays engraved on it.
What made people even more speechless was that there were a few high-quality blue jade crystals embedded at the bottom of the pill furnace, which were obviously used to activate the formation. The size of an ordinary alchemy furnace was too small. It was not even enough to engrave a formation on it. How could there be extra space to embed jade stones? it was driven by the natural spiritual Qi of heaven and earth. The effect of the formation was simply incomparable to this alchemy furnace.
No wonder his success rate in alchemy was so high. It turned out that he had so many protective formations, and they were all activated by jade crystal stones. Ling Chuxi did not know if other places had such an alchemy furnace, but she had never heard of it before.
“Didn’t anyone tell you that in such a large pill furnace, it’s very difficult for the flame to penetrate the temperature, and it’s also very difficult for the medicinal liquids to fuse together?” Ling Chuxi asked in confusion.
If it could increase the success rate of alchemy so easily, others would have thought of it long ago. Li shaoqiu would not have had a chance. However, if the pill furnace was too big, the flames would not be able to spread to every corner of the pill furnace sufficiently and evenly, and the medicinal liquids would not be able to fuse completely. Therefore, the pill furnace had to be limited in size. If it wasn’t because the pill furnace was too small, it would be impossible to engrave formations. The smaller the capacity, the higher the color of the pills refined. Of course, if it was too small, it wouldn’t be able to fit any medicinal herbs.
Therefore, for thousands of years, through the exploration and summary of countless senior alchemists, the optimal size of the alchemy furnace had been determined and became a fixed model. No one thought of changing it. Even if someone had a wonderful idea to change it, they would find that this change was completely superfluous.
Only li shaoqiu, an Alchemist who had become an Alchemist halfway through his career, would be able to create such a furnace.
“Elder su said it before, but there’s no other way. If it’s small, it really can’t be used. It has to be big. I even think this is small.” Li shaoqiu said helplessly.
You still think this is small? Ling Chuxi didn’t know what to say. She grumbled in her heart that if she were to cook a large pot of lean meat porridge, even seven or eight people might not be able to finish it.
“Hey, you! I said that you can insult my body, but you can’t insult my character, and even more so, you can’t insult my alchemy soul!” Li shaoqiu roared in anger.
Eh? Ling Chuxi was stunned for a moment before she reacted.””Did I say it?”
“Yes, you’ve said it!” Li shaoqiu said angrily.
“Ahaha, I’m really sorry.” Ling Chuxi laughed awkwardly. She had originally only been ridiculing him in her heart. Why did she accidentally say it out loud? “Alright, you can start. I won’t talk anymore.”
“Hmph!” Li shaoqiu snorted coldly in anger, and only then did he start.
Seeing that li shaoqiu had arranged large piles of medicinal materials and was ready to start refining, Ling Chuxi did not say anything more and concentrated on reading.
Li shaoqiu dug open the fire pit under the pill furnace and put in a large pile of charcoal. He even threw in a few red stones.
Ling Chuxi recognized this stone. It was called Firestone. Its nature was the same as the lava fire Crystal used by the Gongxi clan for forging. Although its effect was not as good as the lava fire Crystal, it could also increase the temperature by a large extent. Generally, only those large forging shops would use it.
