Another World: How to Practice Without Spiritual Energy

His Majesty the Emperor has just been watching calmly.

He showed weakness, set traps, and provoked the enemy... He used these tactics to perfection, and all the rhythm of Prince Kang was led by the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in front of him.

I have to find something to do with this ability in the future, it can’t be wasted.

"Okay, I'm a bit bored today, so it's not bad to watch a smelting competition."

The old emperor was all smiles; what he really cared about was the outcome of the game.

Prince Kang certainly didn't dare to deceive the emperor, but Chen Xian's superb skills in deceiving people showed that he did have efficient smelting technology.

And this efficient smelting technology is what His Majesty the Emperor truly values.

"Old Dragon, there is no smelting site in this palace. I heard that your granddaughter has a talent for alchemy, and you even built an alchemy garden for her. How about going to your granddaughter's garden to compete?"

Long Xing glanced at Chen Xian helplessly.

"I will obey the imperial edict."

Accompanied by Long Xing, the emperor left the palace in casual clothes with his personal old eunuch.

Li Yuewu, the son of Prince Kang, also got on his own carriage and rode in the same carriage with the smelting master who was waiting at the palace gate to the Dragon Cavalry General's Mansion.

Inside the carriage, Li Yuewu, who had calmed down, looked at the dark-bearded man beside him with a serious expression.

"Master Omega, do you think there is really a way to make smelting ten times more efficient than it is now?"

The dark-bearded man stood up, forgot he was in a carriage, hit his head on the roof, and fell back onto the seat.

He adjusted his hat made of gauze scarf with his iron-like hands and said seriously.

"Impossible. Even my master can only improve the efficiency by about 7%. What we announced to the public is a % increase in efficiency. Even so, our Peacock Empire's smelting technology is the best in the entire continent. How could there be a way to increase it by ten times?"

Li Yuewu nodded happily.

"That's good. As long as you can defeat that kid and help me get the mining rights, we at Prince Kang's Mansion will definitely do what we promised you."

Long Xing’s general’s mansion was not in the inner city, but next to a small hill in the outer city.

The alchemy garden she built for her granddaughter is on the top of a hill.

There are seven or eight furnaces on a square in the park, and there are also a lot of raw ores and waste ores around the square.

"That's right, Old Long, you've put a lot of thought into Qing'er, you two can choose the stove yourselves.

Raw iron ore, Lao Long, please order them to select raw ore of the same quality and give them 100 kilograms. In the end, they need to refine 10 kilograms of iron. "

"We will determine the final winner based on the completion time, the amount of materials used, and the quality of the smelted iron. Do you two still have any questions?"

The dark-bearded man looked at Li Yuewu and nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

Chen Xian raised his right hand and said.

"Your Majesty, we have chosen the same furnace, but before the competition begins, can we make some modifications to the furnace and make some auxiliary refining materials ourselves?"

The old emperor waved his hand.

"As long as the timer starts, you can do whatever you want. We only look at the final product and the time it takes."

This is exactly what Chen Xian wants, let him play with it as he pleases.

After a while, the servants in the garden selected out two hundred kilograms of raw ore, which was of medium quality and could easily produce twenty or thirty kilograms of iron.

After receiving the iron ore, the servants took out two hourglasses as tall as a person and started timing for both sides.

The dark-bearded man picked up a big hammer. The solid muscles in his arms were like a dragon. With one hammer, he smashed the ore into small pieces.

"What great strength." General Long Xing couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"It takes extraordinary strength to be able to break the raw iron ore. The smelters of the Maurya Empire are indeed extraordinary."

Emperor Tian Qing also sighed.

"Hey, why is that guy moving stones instead of firing the furnace and selecting ore?"

Emperor Tian Qing looked at Long Xing, and General Long also looked puzzled and confused.

Chen Xian was focused and recalled the method of smelting iron in a blast furnace, where a tall chimney was built with stones on top of the furnace and then covered with clay.

Then he asked his servant for some wood.

When Chen Xian was preparing all these, the dark-bearded man had already put a batch of processed ore into the furnace and lit the fire.

The dark-bearded man was pumping the bellows to blow air inside to maintain the temperature of the furnace.

The furnace fire in this world uses low-level fire magic crystals as fuel, only in this way can it reach the temperature required to melt iron.

Usually, it takes ten first-order magic crystals and one second-order magic crystal to refine one kilogram of iron, so the cost of iron smelting is very high.

Furthermore, there are many impurities in the original iron ore, which requires repeated refining to gradually remove the impurities, so it takes a long time.

Chen Xian did not use fire magic crystals, but instead put wood into the blast furnace, filling it up.

Light the wood inside and wait for it to burn for a while.

Seal the top of the furnace and leave several air inlets at the bottom of the furnace, which are also sealed one after another.

After finishing all these, Chen Xian went to look at the raw iron ore without any rush.

He took out a stone stick and a piece of black metallic ore from the space ring, and then used the stone stick to dig a groove on it.

Place all the ores into the grooves.

The stone sticks are used for pounding or grinding.

The ore inside was broken into powder like soil.

"This refining method is really unheard of. Even my teacher, Elder Wen, has never seen such a novel refining method."

An old man in a green robe and a beret couldn't help but speak at the entrance of the Alchemy Garden.

When Long Xing saw the old man, he hurried over to greet him.

"Master Kemi, aren't you usually doing research in a secluded laboratory in the backyard? How come you have time to come out and watch the smelting competition?"

When Kemi saw that Long Xing was with His Majesty the Emperor, he bowed first and then spoke.

"Isn't Qing'er taking the alchemy test today? She should be back soon, so I came out to take a look."

The emperor knew that Master Kemi was Wen Dou's favorite disciple and that his attainments in alchemy were unfathomable, so he asked.

"Master Kemi, in your opinion, who of these two will win in the end?"

Kemi looked around at the two people who were busy smelting.

"Both of them processed the ore before smelting, which is consistent with the teacher's theory. The smelters of the Maurya Empire are more skilled.

Moreover, the other party adopts batch refining, which should greatly improve the efficiency and purity. "

"I still can't figure out this young man's refining method. The ore has turned into powder. It will be difficult to aggregate it when I refine it."

……

The dark-bearded man has already produced one-tenth of the pig iron. Although there are still many impurities, the speed is obviously much faster.

He has now started to refine the second batch, and after all the pig iron is refined, he will purify it together.

Seeing that Chen Xian was still grinding the iron ore powder, the dark-bearded man seemed to have seen the outcome of victory.

He looked at Prince Kang, who smiled and nodded, seeming very satisfied with his performance.

When the dark-bearded man was refining the second batch,

Chen Xian took out the black charcoal from the blast furnace and placed it aside, piling it into a small hill.

He took out a few pieces of completely carbonized wood and threw them into the iron ore powder, crushed it and mixed it together, then quietly poured a few pieces of white ore into it.

Put all the ore powder into the container of the blast furnace, then put in the charcoal, and throw a second-level fire magic crystal in.

They lit the fire and started firing, while using a bellows and occasionally putting the charcoal powder into the bellows and blowing it into the blast furnace.

In the middle, take out the red molten iron from the furnace container, use a stone stick to poke out the impurities on the molten iron, and continue to put it into the blast furnace for smelting.

Just when the dark-bearded man refined the third piece of black iron and had a proud look on his face.

Chen Xian shouted.

"I have already refined it."

"This is impossible, he must be cheating." Prince Kang pointed at Chen Xian.

Emperor Tian Qing frowned as he watched Chen Xian take out a block of metal that had cooled down and was wrapped in black impurities.

Long Xing looked at Chen Xian deeply, his eyes full of regret.

Only Master Kemi walked over, took out his staff, and tapped the black metal block twice.

The black outer shell cracked and fell off, revealing the shiny silver-white metallic luster inside.

"This……"

After seeing the dazzling metallic luster, His Majesty the Emperor stood up suddenly.

Long Xing's eyes were also filled with excitement.

The silvery-white metallic luster meant that the purity was extremely high, and the time he took to refine it was more than seven times faster than that of the Maurya Empire's smelter.

With such efficiency, the empire's weapons and armor can be replenished in a very short time.

As everyone stared in amazement, a girl in a green robe came into the garden.

"Grandpa, guess how many points I got in the alchemy test?"

The girl and Chen Xian looked at each other and exclaimed at the same time.

"why you."
