Chapter 86: Fire Control Technique

"Let's start refining without further delay."

The three judges from the Alchemy Association also stood up and urged.

"I wonder which second-grade elixir the Alchemy Association requires us to refine today?"

Master Mo asked.

One of the judges took out a sealed scroll with the logo of the Alchemy Association from his sleeve, removed the seal on the spot, unfolded the scroll, and read out three words: "Chenglu Pill."

Master Mo understood that this Chenglu Pill is a water-attributed elixir, which is made from several rare water-attributed herbs as the main materials. It has great benefits for warriors who practice water attributes to take it. Its effect is roughly similar to the effect of Lihuo Pill on fire-attributed warriors, but its medicinal effect is one level lower than that of Lihuo Pill.

Among the second-grade elixirs, this Chenglu Pill is considered to be a medium-level one. It is neither too difficult nor too easy to refine.

"Everyone, please move and follow me to the alchemy room."

Master Mo took everyone to his alchemy room, where there was a purple silver furnace, which was an alchemy furnace with both water and yin properties, and was perfect for refining the Chenglu Pill.

"Bring two portions of the materials for the Chenglu Pill!"

Master Mo called another apprentice and instructed him.

The referee of the Alchemy Association said, "In this case, a two-hour time limit will be set for the two members of the Qinghe City Alchemy Branch. Within two hours, if the two can successfully refine the Chenglu Pill one after another, then they will be considered promoted successfully."

Master Mo nodded and said, "Then I will refine it first."

The combined refining time of the two cannot exceed two hours. If Master Mo can take a shorter time, it will undoubtedly buy more time for Su Chen.

Master Wang thought so. He looked at Su Chen with a sneer on his face, thinking, even if Master Mo bought him more time, even if he was given ten hours, could he refine a second-grade elixir? Dream on!

When the materials for the Chenglu Pill were delivered, Master Mo started to refine it.

There were eight flame mechanisms under the purple silver furnace, which could spit out flames after being turned on. Master Mo turned on all eight mechanisms, preheated the purple silver furnace, and then began to put the materials in by category.

Master Mo's technique was very stable and skillful, showing his strong foundation as the number one alchemist in Qinghe City. After the materials were put in, they were purified to form elixir liquid, and then condensed into elixir.

After completing this series of steps, Master Mo's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Alchemy is a very delicate job, and no point can be sloppy, otherwise it is likely to fail.

After more than half an hour, thick white mist rose from the purple silver furnace, accompanied by bursts of elixir fragrance, symbolizing the success of condensing the elixir.

"The elixir is done!"

Master Mo opened the lid of the elixir furnace and took out the hot Chenglu Pill.

"Master Mo is indeed worthy of being a respected and famous master. His elixir refining skills are extremely exquisite."

The judges of the Alchemy Association praised him. For Master Mo, refining the second-grade elixir was as common as handing in homework. It was not seen how much effort Master Mo had put in, and the elixir was successfully refined.

This is because the other people in the Qinghe City Alchemy Branch were too incompetent and dragged their feet. Otherwise, the Qinghe City Alchemy Branch would have been promoted to a second-grade branch long ago.

"Little friend Su, it's your turn."

Master Mo said to Su Chen with a smile.

Su Chen nodded casually, then stood up and came to the purple silver furnace.

"This old Mo is too willful. He has a chance to be promoted to the second-grade branch today, but he insists on messing around."

The judges also shook their heads. In their opinion, there is still more than an hour left. If Master Wang were to refine the second Chenglu Pill, the chance of success would be very high. Unfortunately, Old Mo insisted on trusting a young boy who was still wet behind the ears, and actually let this boy refine such an important Chenglu Pill. It seems that this time the Qinghe City Alchemy Branch will miss the opportunity to be promoted to the second grade.

Master Wang sneered. Master Mo deserved it. He would regret it later. Anyway, he would never help the Qinghe City Alchemy Branch.

The unknown girl blinked her eyes and looked at Su Chen with a bit of curiosity and inquiry.

Among all the people, the only one who had confidence in Su Chen was Master Mo.

"Mr. Su, please." Master Mo said silently in his heart. Whether the Qinghe City Alchemy Branch could be promoted to the second grade this time depended on Su Chen.

Click!

Su Chen sat cross-legged in front of the purple silver furnace and reached out to open the four flame mechanisms under the purple silver furnace.

This step made Master Wang smile sarcastically: "No way, only four mechanisms are opened. Doesn't this kid know that this furnace has eight mechanisms?"

Not to mention Master Wang, even the referees were puzzled. You know, when the furnace is preheated, the flame must be as strong as possible, so that the temperature in the furnace can be raised as quickly as possible. Opening four mechanisms is definitely not as strong as opening eight mechanisms. How low-level does it take to make such a mistake?

Master Wang shook his head in disdain: "Alas, I didn't expect that he was a complete layman. It's a waste of my words just now."

Master Mo also showed a little doubt, but he believed in Su Chen and thought that Su Chen had his reasons for doing so, so he smiled and remained silent.

Su Chen naturally listened to the comments of others, raised his eyebrows, and said lightly: "You are shallow and ignorant. Is it better to open more traps? Then why don't you just light a pile of firewood under the stove?"

"You..." Master Wang's forehead was throbbing with veins. He had never been so venomous before, and he was furious. "You are an outsider and you are right? I won't argue with you. Everyone present is an insider, so you naturally know what's going on."

The referees all nodded. What Master Wang said was absolutely right. When the furnace is preheated, the fire should be as strong as possible, otherwise the subsequent alchemy may fail because the temperature inside the furnace is not enough.

"Frog in the well, open your eyes and watch!"

Su Chen made a complex and strange hand seal with both hands, which looked a bit mysterious.

"What is he doing?"

"Is this the legendary fire control technique?" a referee asked in surprise.

Suddenly, this sentence was like a stone that caused a thousand waves: "How is this possible? How old is he? How could he master the fire control technique!"

It's no wonder they were so surprised. The fire control technique, as the name suggests, is to use mysterious techniques to control flames. This is something that only third-grade alchemists and above can do. Looking at the entire Anyang County, I'm afraid only the presidents and vice presidents of the Alchemy Association may have mastered it.

And now, they actually saw the existence of the fire control technique on a fifteen-year-old boy in Qinghe City. How could they not be extremely surprised?
