“The alchemy furnace has been put away upstairs; please wait a moment, senior. I’ll go get it.”
Upon hearing this, the girl slapped her forehead and immediately responded.
She then hastened out of the room, taking quick steps with her small legs.
“It seems that this shop must seriously mismanaged,”
Lu Changsheng said as he watched the girl, shaking his head slightly.
Only the girl was in the shop.
Considering her bored demeanor a moment ago and the display case in the shop with mostly First Grade Elixir Medicines,
he roughly judged that the current situation of the shop was not very good.
The few alchemy shops he had just visited, no matter how poor, all had one or two reception apprentices.
“Senior, the alchemy furnace,”
the girl returned to the room in a short while, taking out a half-man-tall, reddish-bronze cloud-patterned alchemy furnace from her storage bag.
“Thank you very much,”
Lu Changsheng said as he looked at the pill furnace in front of him, mana flowing within his body, immediately causing the furnace to steadily land atop the eight fire-breathing dragon heads.
“Oh, senior, inside these gourds is Mars Sand, which can temporarily strengthen the power of the Earth Fire,”
“If you find the temperature of the Earth Fire insufficient and need a greater blaze to increase its power, feel free to add Mars Sand. This is complimentary,”
the girl said, pointing to the gourds on the wall.
“Thank you very much,”
Lu Changsheng nodded and said with a smile.
“Alright, senior, please proceed with your alchemy, I won’t disturb you any further,”
“I’ll be in the front shop all the time, just call me if you need anything,”
“By the way, my name is Li Xingyu.”
the girl in the yellow skirt voiced.
“Ha ha, thank you for your trouble, Miss Li,”
Lu Changsheng replied, nodding.
After speaking, he added, “My name is Ye Fan.”
“Alright, Senior Ye,”
Upon hearing this name, the girl’s eyes instantly curved into crescents, beaming with a smile.
She knew that since the other party was willing to share his name, it meant that their relationship had also become closer.
“This Senior Ye seems easy to talk to; I wonder if my sister can recruit him as a resident alchemist,”
“If we haven’t managed to invite a resident alchemist, I wonder if I could ask Senior Ye for this favor,”
thought the girl as she left the alchemy chamber.
“Huff.”
After the girl left, Lu Changsheng closed the door to the alchemy chamber and began to prepare for alchemy.
He first embedded three Middle Grade Spirit Stones into the Earthfire Array.
Then, following the spell from the Jade Slip, he cast eight streaks of red light upon the dragon heads.
“Pfft!”
The dragon heads immediately absorbed the red light, then spouted streaks of purple flames from their maws.
The alchemy chamber was filled with a surge of intense heat.
“Let’s start with a furnace of Harmonizing Energy Elixir to warm up the hands.”
Lu Changsheng prepared to first refine a furnace of Harmonizing Energy Elixir, which aids those at the Foundation Establishment Cultivation.
“Rise!”
He looked at the pill furnace and with a hand gesture, cast a ray of Spiritual Light.
Behold,
The lid of the furnace flew up, and a stream of Spiritual Water rushed into the pill furnace, cleaning it thoroughly.
Then, with a slap to his Storage Bag,
multiple Spiritual Medicines flew one by one into the pill furnace for refinement.
“Blue Moon Grass, Citrus Ghost Flower, Bamboo Cloud Juice…”
Although it was his first time performing alchemy, Lu Changsheng was not the slightest bit nervous, exuding a quiet calm.
With his Second Rank Alchemy Skills, a common Second Grade Elixir like the Harmonizing Energy Elixir was something he could handle with ease.
Just like that, Lu Changsheng placed all the required Spiritual Medicines into the pill furnace, then replaced the lid perfectly.
This step was executed flawlessly, without a single mistake.
Watching the flames slowly burning and refining the Spiritual Medicines, Lu Changsheng casually took out a talisman brush, talisman paper, and Spirit Ink and began drawing.
Taking advantage of the free time during alchemy, he started crafting a few Spirit Talismans.
If anyone were to witness this scene, they would likely be too astonished to speak.
