Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

"This unscientific."

"How come it can't be refined?"

"There is nothing wrong with the steps I explained."

Ning Yan looked at the pile of waste and black ash on the ground, puzzled.

Cao Junwei on the opposite side almost laughed out loud.

He had already prepared a backup plan, but who would have thought that before he could use it, Ning Yan would run into trouble himself.

You're in such a mess, and you still have the nerve to take the Red Gold Order?

"It has taken such a long time and he has not been able to replicate it. This proves that there must be something wrong with his elixir. Maybe he used some unknown means to cheat!"

Facing Cao Junwei's accusation, He Peng tried to save his dignity by saying:

"Perhaps it's just that the time is too short, and the alchemists present haven't had time to master the trick, so they fail repeatedly. If we give them a little more time, perhaps they can replicate the success."

"Vice-Governor He, I can't pretend I didn't hear what you said."

As soon as the words fell, an elderly alchemist with white hair and beard immediately said in a solemn voice:
"We, the group of alchemists, have been serving the Pavilion for a long time. We have refined at least a million pills. You can question our eccentricities, but you cannot deny our alchemy skills.

We have not been able to successfully replicate these two kinds of elixirs for an entire hour today. Even if you replace them with other alchemists, they will never be able to replicate them successfully. Even if their level is higher than ours, they still will not be able to succeed.

Because this is not a question of alchemy at all."

The speaker's name was Chen Ang, the most experienced alchemist in Fulong Wanfa Pavilion. In terms of the time he had served the Wanfa Pavilion, he had even surpassed the deputy pavilion master Qin Zhiqiang who was about to retire.

Maybe his alchemy skills are not the strongest among everyone, but he is definitely the alchemist with the broadest knowledge, the most alchemy methods, and the most pills.

Even some extremely remote and uncommon elixirs were refined by him alone with his unique skills.

Even the three deputy pavilion masters would not be easy to offend him.

Seeing Chen Ang contradicting him on the spot, He Peng felt a little deflated, but Cao Junwei was gloating.

However, before he could add fuel to the fire, Ning Yan's voice rang out again:
"I just thought about it carefully. The reason why I failed to replicate it again and again might really be a problem with my alchemy skills."

"Alchemy? How could it be alchemy?"

Seeing Ning Yan questioning his expertise, Chen Ang immediately became angry and glared:
"The alchemy techniques we practice are all powerful methods collected by the Wanfa Pavilion. Compared with the alchemy techniques of those independent practitioners on the market, it is no exaggeration to say that there is a world of difference. Basically, we can practice anything that independent practitioners can practice, and we can also practice anything that independent practitioners cannot practice.

Moreover, the alchemy methods we practice are not the same, including fire alchemy, water alchemy, air alchemy and so on. When added together, they basically cover all aspects of alchemy. Even some strange and weird elixirs can still be easily understood by us and reproduced on the spot.

Or do you think your alchemy skills can beat all of ours?"

Hearing Chen Ang's stern question, Ning Yan waved his hand and said:

"Your Excellency has misunderstood me. I am not saying that my alchemy skills are definitely better than others. It is just that there may be differences in the processing of some details of the elixir. Although this difference seems insignificant and I didn't even write it in the prescription, it may be the root cause of the failure of alchemy.

I didn't explain these issues clearly before, it's my fault, now why don't you do a comparative experiment, start from the beginning, from the first step, and compare the alchemy to see where the problem lies. "

Chen Ang frowned slightly and said coldly:
"So many of us have been trying to replicate it for so long without success. I don't think it's a problem with alchemy, nor do I think there's any need for comparison. Everyone's time is precious, and there's no need to dwell on it. Do we have to keep cooperating if you keep having problems? If you can't replicate it, it only means that there's something wrong with your prescription."

“I have always heard that Master Chen has profound skills. As long as he can get the prescription, he can make any elixir below the third grade.

As a result, today my junior brother took out the recipes for two pills and wrote down the refining process in detail, but you couldn't even refine one of them.

It seems that the rumors cannot be fully believed. After all, it is fine if you can't make one of the two prescriptions, but how can people believe you if you can't make both?"

Wu Xuantian's face was filled with sobs, and he looked heartbroken as if he was disenchanted by his idol.

Chen Ang couldn't help it this time.

He has been refining pills for seventy or eighty years, and what he values ​​most is his reputation and face. Now that he has been hit so hard, even if he knows there is a pit ahead, he will resolutely step into it:

"Boy, quickly prepare your alchemy furnace. I want to see if there is anything wrong with the alchemy process. It can't be that your elixir popped out of a crack in a rock!"

Ning Yan did not hesitate and immediately prepared the furnace.

Chen Ang also prepared the alchemy furnace.

As for the rest of the alchemists, even He Peng and others, they watched this comparative experiment from the side.

Both of them used the same raw materials and began to refine the elixir according to the established steps, comparing the processes one by one to see where the mistakes occurred.

Ning Yan originally thought that problems might only arise at certain key points in alchemy, such as separation of impurities and condensation of medicinal liquid.

As a result, the first step in alchemy went wrong.

The first step is to use alchemy to pre-treat the raw materials of the medicine. This should be the simplest step. Even if Ning Yan does not explain it in detail, everyone knows how to do it.

But this simplest step went wrong.

On the surface, there was no difference between the medicinal liquids prepared by Ning Yan and Chen Ang, but after careful observation, even the alchemists outside the field could see the problem.

"Why is your medicine more viscous than Mr. Chen's?"

Everyone was quite puzzled.

Ning Yan was even more puzzled:
"But this is the liquid that will form after my pre-treatment."

Chen Ang looked at it, equally puzzled.

Logically speaking, they all used the same techniques, and even if there were some differences in alchemy, the differences in drug pretreatment would not be this great.

But this situation was so obvious before his eyes that he couldn't help but believe it.

"Take care of it for me."

Ning Yan got a new batch of raw materials.

A group of alchemists gathered around, all staring with wide eyes.

In order to let them see more clearly, Ning Yan even slowed down his processing speed.

It is simply that the first step of preprocessing is further divided into more than ten steps.

After completing each action, he would look at the people around him to make sure they understood before taking the next step.

So, first step, no problem.

The second step is no problem either.

……

Until the fifteenth step, no one expressed any opinion.

Then, looking at the sticky liquid fresh from the furnace, the alchemists present were numb.

How could this be?
Obviously every step is fine.

How come this kind of viscous liquid was suddenly produced in the end?
According to common sense, shouldn't you practice like them?

"Wait, wait, let me sort it out."

Chen Ang raised his head with a confused expression and waved his hands in the air.

After waving for a long time, he looked around at his companions who were staring at him with wide eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly:
“I didn’t pull it out.”

Everyone was speechless, but they could understand.

It feels like one plus one plus one equals three thousand.

I know this result is problematic, but it just works.

You want to ask why it is possible... Yes, why? The alchemists all looked at Ning Yan.

Ning Yan said helplessly:
"I told you before, there's something wrong with your alchemy skills."

"Impossible, there is absolutely no problem with our alchemy skills."

"Then how should you explain this control experiment?"

Everyone was suddenly speechless.

Ning Yan said in a deep voice:

"In my hometown, there is a boxer named Fu who once said, if you eliminate all impossible options, then whatever remains, even if it is impossible, is the truth."

"In the control experiment just now, the only difference is that the alchemy techniques we used are different. No matter how much you trust your alchemy techniques, I can only say that your alchemy techniques are not suitable for refining these two kinds of pills. It is very likely that they need to be coordinated with special alchemy techniques to be successfully refined. Such cases actually exist, right?"

Chen Ang opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but in the end he just remained silent.

Just as Ning Yan said, some very special elixirs do require specialized alchemy techniques to be refined.

So no matter how proud he was, he had to go against his professional ethics and deny this.

What confused him greatly was that both the Bu Shen Dan and the Qing Ming Dan were relatively popular elixirs.

Why does this very common elixir require special alchemy techniques to be refined?
That doesn't make any sense at all.

"Next, let me teach you my alchemy skills."

After hearing this, everyone, including Chen Ang, agreed.

After all, it is good to master one more alchemy technique.

Moreover, if these two kinds of elixirs can really only be made through specialized alchemy techniques, they will most likely become the first batch of alchemists responsible for these elixirs in the future, and perhaps even their income will increase.

As teaching progresses, new problems arise.

Although the "Daytime Alchemy Method" is simple, these people still seem unable to refine the body-replenishing pills and green moth pills after learning it.

Thinking about it carefully, he also taught this method to Yue Letang, Jin Chaoliang and others, but they were also unable to refine the Corpse Soul Powder.

It seems that the "Daytime Alchemy Method" will only produce its miraculous effects when he uses it himself.

“So, geniuses are always lonely.”

Ning Yan sighed, feeling a sense of loneliness and isolation from the world for no apparent reason.

But there was no other way. For the sake of the Red Gold Order, these less-than-qualified alchemists had to refine the two kinds of pills no matter what.

To this end, Ning Yan used his brain a little and deduced a new alchemy technique based on the "Daytime Alchemy Method" and the characteristics of the two elixirs.

Ten breaths later, facing the alchemists who had failed to refine the elixir again and looked doubtful, Ning Yan quickly interrupted them and said:
"I'm so sorry, I accidentally taught you the wrong thing just now. In fact, I use another similar method to refine pills."

"How can this be wrong?!"

"It can't be helped. The contents of these two alchemy techniques are very similar, even the names are very similar."

"what is it call?"

"This similar alchemy technique is called 'Daydream Alchemy Technique'."

"What a stupid name!!"

"Don't worry about the details. Just learn the content from me first. I guarantee that you can make the elixir this time."

Faced with the alchemists with strange expressions, Ning Yan did not waste time and quickly passed on the "Daydream Alchemy Method".

This method is derived from the "Daytime Alchemy Method". Its core point is to use the alchemy illusions produced in the brain while being awake during the day to promote the movements of the hands, making them smooth and fluent, and reducing the chance of failure. It can be said to be a very excellent alchemy method.

Even if it is not used to refine the body-replenishing pill and the green moth pill, it will be quite effective in refining other pills.

The two methods are very similar, so everyone learns them quickly.

But after learning it, they generally have some doubts about its effectiveness.

After all, after such a long time, no one except Ning Yan has been able to succeed in refining the elixir, so much so that everyone is somewhat skeptical whether this alchemy technique can actually work.

Afterwards, with Ning Yan's assistance and corrections, when Chen Ang was the first to refine two kinds of pills, the alchemists present were suddenly extremely excited.

Followed by one instruction after another.

One after another was successfully refined.

All the alchemists were very excited.

Looking at the two freshly-baked pills in the furnace, the curly-haired alchemist held Ning Yan's hand tightly, his excitement evident in words.

However, just as he expressed his gratitude, he saw Cao Junwei, whose face was as black as charcoal, behind Ning Yan. The smile on the curly-haired alchemist's face froze.

Ah, I was so focused on refining the elixir just now that I forgot to do some little movements.

But everyone has successfully replicated it, so there is no point in contaminating the raw materials now.

The curly-haired alchemist simply turned his eyes away, pretending not to see Cao Junwei.

After all, Fulong Wanfa Pavilion is not a place where Cao Junwei has the final say.

At worst, he could just switch to He Peng's school.

With the successful reproduction of the elixir, He Peng will now have one more holder of the Red Gold Order.

With the authority of the Red Gold Order, in some aspects it even exceeds that of the Deputy Pavilion Master.

No matter how you look at it, He Peng's side has a greater advantage.

As the saying goes, those who understand current affairs are heroes.

The curly-haired alchemist's eyes suddenly became more fervent as he looked at Ning Yan.

Ning Yan let go of what he saw.

He Peng looked at the scene and said with a smile:
"Now the pills have all been refined. Although there were some setbacks in the middle, the replication was successful in the end. And it was a great success. Everyone has succeeded.

This is enough to prove that not only are the raw materials of the two kinds of pills relatively cheap, but the refining process is also very simple. They are simply a visible source of wealth. It is not an exaggeration to issue a red gold order.

What does Mr. Qin think?

Qin Zhiqiang smiled and nodded.

He Peng looked at Cao Junwei again.

Cao Junwei snorted coldly with a sour look on his face.

He Peng immediately looked at Ning Yan and announced the result on the spot:

"Although it still needs to be signed by Pavilion Master Wei, the successful reproduction of the elixir has confirmed the ownership of the Red Gold Token. Let us congratulate Ning Yan, the seventh holder of the Red Gold Token from Fulong Wanfa Pavilion!"

Everyone applauded and congratulated Ning Yan.

Wu Xuantian and Zhu Kexin also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ning Yan was also extremely excited, but what excited him was the purchase amount of three million.

He seemed to have seen countless magical skills beckoning to him. (End of this chapter)
