Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

Chapter 253 Xia Huo Li Yang

Prince's Palace.

Li Chonglin said to Miao'er outside the palace door, "Have you made it clear to Yuguan?"

"Your Highness, Master Lu said he wants five thousand taels."

Miao'er said carefully.

After hearing this, Li Chonglin was immediately furious. "He's still mad at me?"

Miao'er: "No, Mr. Lu seems very happy."

Li Chonglin:?

"He also asked you to pay compensation for emotional damages."

Miao'er said quietly.

The corners of Li Chonglin's mouth twitched slightly.

Although all these things were done by my father, it was initially because he was too radical and openly displayed his love in the court that aroused my father's interest.

"Never mind, five thousand taels is five thousand taels. Take the banknotes from the East Palace passbook to Qianhua Lao."

"As ordered."

Miao'er was about to leave when Li Chonglin seemed to have thought of something. He quickly stopped her and asked, "By the way, has Yuguan been in contact with anyone in the past two days?"

"Especially strange men?"

"For the past three days, Master Lu has been staying in the Imperial Bamboo Forest, seeking the truth from Senior Danxuzi, and has never left."

Miaoer explained.

"Danxuzi?" Li Chonglin frowned. "Isn't he the head alchemist of the royal family?"

"Why would Yuguan go to find him?"

Miao'er was equally puzzled. "How about... I go and ask?"

"No need for that, as long as he doesn't mess around with other women," Li Zhonglin said with emotion. "If Yuguan asks about it again, he might have to add another five thousand taels!"

……

Ever since he started learning alchemy from Danxuzi, Lu Yuguan felt that his face had never been clean.

Every day I am either blasting the furnace or on my way to blasting the furnace.

"My friend, will this furnace explode?"

Danxuzi pointed at the stove with a sly look.

Lu Yuguan frowned and said firmly: "No!"

"Are you sure? Why don't you come closer and take a look?" Dan Xuzi asked.

Lu Yuguan leaned over and stared closely at the edge of the stove lid, where steam was coming out.

"Hey, guess wrong!"

Dan Xuzi said with a smile.

boom!

After a loud bang, the furnace cover, wrapped in billowing smoke and surging heat waves, flew straight towards Lu Yuguan's face.

Lu Yuguan was unable to dodge and was hit hard by the furnace cover. He fell backwards and fell on his back.

"You old Dantou, you're teasing me again!"

Lu Yuguan shouted depressedly.

His face was black and his hair was blown up, making him look like a madman.

Danxuzi was laughing so hard that tears were about to come out. He pointed at Lu Yuguan and said, "It's obviously your own fault. Don't blame me!"

Lu Yuguan got up from the ground, wiped his face, and his hands were instantly covered with black ash.

Looking at Danxuzi's gloating expression, Lu Yuguan was speechless.

It had only been three days, and he had been tricked by Danxuzi into watching the spectacle of the furnace exploding thirty times, and he even called it a necessary step in alchemy.

"Damn it, he's clearly just an old naughty boy, a troublemaker, why is he pretending to be so cool?"

Lu Yuguan thought gloomily.

Even if you haven't eaten pork, at least you have seen a pig run.

He benefited greatly from these two days of observation alone.

As for the alchemy secret book given by the system, he also secretly read it in his busy schedule and had basically read it.

Now, Lu Yuguan has the confidence to make elixirs on his own.

"The master can only lead you to the door, but the practice depends on the individual. This is all I can teach you."

Danxuzi patted his gray robe and smiled.

Lu Yuguan was stunned for a moment and said, "Senior, you haven't formally taught me how to make pills yet?"

"My friend, you have a lot of wisdom. In just three days, you've already guessed the probability of a furnace explosion. Most people can't do that."

Danxuzi said with relief.

Lu Yuguan's mouth twitched. "So... you've spent the past three days just to make me learn this?"

"What else?" Danxuzi said angrily, "Safety is paramount for alchemists. If you get blown to pieces, you'll have trouble refining the elixir, and even trying to put yourself together won't be easy."

Lu Yuguan thought for a moment.

What this old Dantou said... seems to be correct?

"My most proud disciple, Ding Chunyuan, is now the chief alchemist at the Imperial Medical Clinic," Danxuzi said. "Back then, he wasn't as resilient as you."

Lu Yuguan: ...

No.

Are we really going to judge talent by the ability to withstand furnace explosions?

Lu Yuguan: "Excuse me, Senior, besides Master Ding Dan, are there any other disciples?"

Danxuzi: "No more."

Lu Yuguan: “Ah?”

Danxuzi: "Before him, there were Jia Chunyuan, Yi Chunyuan, and Bing Chunyuan, all of whom were killed in the explosion."

Lu Yuguan: “…”

Danxuzi wiped the alchemy furnace proudly.

He meows!

Is this something to be proud of?

Just as he was about to complain, Danxuzi took an alchemy furnace from the shelf and placed it solemnly in front of Lu Yuguan.

Lu Yuguan was surprised and said: "Senior, this is..."

"This is a fourth-grade alchemy furnace that I treasure, called the Flame Sun Furnace."

"Although it's not a high-grade alchemy furnace, it has a stable temperature. It's perfect for you to practice with."

"Now I will hand it over to you, please don't let me down!"

Danxuzi's eyes were deep and his face was serious.

Lu Yuguan opened his eyes wide, looking at the ancient alchemy furnace in front of him, and felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

He took it with slightly trembling hands. It was warm to the touch, as if he could feel the spiritual power accumulated in the furnace over the years.

"Senior, this... this is too precious. How could Yuguan afford this..."

"Three thousand taels."

"What?"

"I wouldn't sell it to ordinary people, but since it's been hard for you to learn, I'll give you a 20% discount!"

"..."

The corners of Lu Yuguan's mouth twitched.

This old Dantou, you know he can't come up with anything good!

"Don't worry about money. Once you can refine good pills, there will be many ways to make money."

"Besides, I live deep in the bamboo forest and have no use for money."

Danxuzi said with a smile.

Lu Yuguan said cheerfully, "What's there to worry about? Give me the money and I'll help you spend it!"

Dan Xuzi: "..."

The two chatted for a while until it got dark, and Danxuzi finally spoke.

"My dear friend, if you can refine a ninth-grade elixir one day, please do me a favor."

"Why are you being so polite to me? Old Dan, just speak frankly."

Lu Yuguan responded.

Danxuzi shrank his pupils and said, "Go to Zhongdu Danzong and show them the elixir you made."

"Let them know that although I, Danxuzi, cannot be promoted to a Saint-grade Alchemist, my apprentice can!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuguan was startled and took note of this sect.

"Don't worry, senior. I will do my best to live up to your expectations!" Lu Yuguan shouted.

"It's already this late, and you're still calling me senior?" Danxuzi said with a smile.

Lu Yuguan was startled, then waved his hand again and said, "Disciple will remember Master's teachings!"

Danxuzi nodded with satisfaction.

"Your senior brother's name is Ding Chunyuan. How about giving your alchemy a name too, Wu Chunyuan?"

"Shut up, I don't want to be blown to death..."

"No, no, he's two years older than you, you need to get a new brand—"

"Just call yourself Xia Yuan!"
