The empress is wild and cool, and I'll help her secure her throne

"Whether it's alchemy, alchemy, or alchemy, the essence is equal exchange."

Ye Qianxuan's words instantly aroused the enthusiasm of some old alchemists to speak:

"That's right! Extracting the essence from things and turning waste into treasure is just an equal exchange! Master Ye used that word well!"

"As expected of our Eastern Zhou poet! He's even better with words than us, the kind who can only tinker with the stove!"

"And Mr. Ye's explanation is so simple and easy to understand. It's really good! Calling the extraction process an equivalent exchange is really brilliant!"

Many alchemists showed joy on their faces, and some young alchemists listened attentively and studied hard.

"Uh... that's about it, but it's not quite accurate."

Ye Qianxuan confirmed ambiguously.

Although what these people said was not about equal exchange, there is nothing wrong with what they said.

After receiving Ye Qianxuan's slight approval, more alchemists began to open up and the discussion became more and more heated!

But the Taoist admiral shook his head and sighed.

The sigh didn't seem very loud in the bustling courtyard.

But it made everyone stop speaking and look up at their heads.

What does the admiral's sigh mean?

Could it be that what this craftsman Ye said is wrong? !

Oh!

wrong!

I remembered!

This Ye Qianxuan is here to cause trouble!

How could they be so easily convinced by Ye Qianxuan? !

"What this craftsman Ye said is indeed novel and profound, but in the field of alchemy and alchemy, our admiral is still the leader!"

"That's right! Our Admiral is the true saint who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Yellow and White Saint Ancestors!"

This group of alchemists from the Alchemist Department began to flatter the Alchemist Admiral, which made the bald man smile slightly and straighten his back quietly.

No matter how eloquent you are, if you don't have anything practical, it's just empty talk.

The ninth princess, An Luowei, raised her hand, holding a piece of tinfoil:

"Master! I understand!"

"This piece of top-grade medicinal silver called tinfoil that you taught me to refine was obtained through an equal exchange, right?"

Top-grade medicinal silver? !

Everyone at the scene was shocked!

Is this small piece of silver the best quality medicinal silver?

Or was it refined by Ye Qianxuan under the guidance of the Ninth Princess? !

The Ninth Princess then immediately demonstrated the state of the burning tin foil. It indeed looked like silver burning into golden color, which instantly stunned all the alchemists present!

When they looked at Ye Qianxuan again, their eyes were filled with admiration!

When the Taoist admiral saw this scene, his back, which had just straightened up, slowly collapsed again.

Ye Qianxuan nodded, and then talked freely:

"Yes, this piece of tinfoil was made from the equivalent exchange."

"In fact, the refining methods of all the alchemists are wrong!"

"You think that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can be made into elixirs and the necessary silver for medicine? That's pure nonsense!"

"Only when you put in something of equal value can you get out medicinal silver or elixirs of equal value. This is the essence of alchemy."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the alchemists suddenly became hot.

So this is what equal exchange means!

The noise at the scene suddenly became noisy.

These words also reached the ears of the empress and the other two.

The empress's beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she looked at the young man standing on the high platform, giving instructions and passionate speeches to the group of arrogant alchemists left by her father, her expression revealing satisfaction.

Ye Nianxi was also confused. It was hard to imagine that the man who was talking so eloquently at this moment was her dull younger brother who used to only be able to sew corpses!

She knew that Ye Qianxuan had some strange ideas, but she never thought that Ye Qianxuan was so familiar with alchemy!

Jin Bei frowned slightly.

As the third uncle of Tianzong, he knew very well that the most important thing in the current alchemy system was the use of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Ye Qianxuan actually completely denied it, which had a shocking impact on Taoist Jin Bei's worldview.

Is what he said true?!

Taoist Master Jin Bei originally wanted to go in and listen, or even have a confrontation and discussion with this fourth junior fellow apprentice.

But realizing that the empress had no intention of disturbing him, he endured it and stood still. He could only continue listening to see what Ye Qianxuan could say.

Ye Qianxuan on the stage continued:

"I just said that the essence of alchemy is equal exchange. This is the key principle, but you don't care about it at all."

"So, when you refine medicinal silver or elixirs, you always add the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon as a medicine or ingredient. This is why the things you refine are always not as good as you think."

"My point is very simple. One plus one equals two."

"And one plus zero can only equal one."

"You're talking nonsense!" The Taoist admiral couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and pointed at Ye Qianxuan's nose and started cursing!

All the alchemists immediately looked at the admiral with subtle expressions.

Because under his leadership, the alchemist Si practiced the skill of collecting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and the moon, which was a compulsory and the most important lesson!

According to the alchemist admiral, no matter whether it is refining elixirs or yellow, white, and silver items, without the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and the moon, it can only be an ordinary product!

But Ye Qianxuan's theory at this moment was slapping him in the face!

"I'm talking nonsense?" Ye Qianxuan chuckled and pointed at the tinfoil in the Ninth Princess's hand. "Then what do you think of this top-grade medicinal silver that I, based on my theory, guided the Ninth Princess to refine?"

"This..." The admiral's breathing suddenly became rapid, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Ye Qianxuan added lightly, "And may I ask, Admiral, based on your theory, have you ever been able to refine any top-grade medicinal silver or elixirs?"

boom!

The whole place was in an uproar!

This is a slap in the face!

It was like firing right at the face of this alchemist admiral!

The scene fell silent in an instant.

Everyone in the audience was looking at the Taoist admiral whose face turned red and his neck became thick because of Ye Qianxuan's words!

Liu Jie, the commander of the alchemy department, is fifty years old and has been practicing alchemy for thirty-three years, but he has never produced a top-quality product, let alone a top-notch one.

Ye Qianxuan's words really hit Liu Jie in the face.

Outside, the Empress and Ye Nianxi couldn't help but look at Jin Bei at the same time.

It seemed as if it was asking, "Third Uncle, have you ever refined any top-grade medicinal silver or elixirs?"

Jin Bei's face flushed red just like Admiral Liu's.

At most, he could refine top-grade medicinal silver and top-grade elixirs.

He has indeed never set foot on the level of peerless quality.

The Empress and Ye Nianxi looked at Jin Bei's expression, and understood what was going on, but at the same time they were a little shocked.

This Ye Qianxuan has actually surpassed Tianzong's Third Uncle in alchemy?!

This made them listen with even more interest...
