C9 Trap

On the other side, the young man quickened his pace and arrived at the alchemy lab with Master Zhu.

However, today's Pill Refining Room did not seem to be as quiet as it was yesterday. Standing outside the door was a group of black-robed clan guards, all of them in the Vein Refining realm!

Master Zhu frowned. He had already seen that the Third Elder, Xia He, was standing at the door of the alchemy room. It was also his sworn enemy, why did he come here today?

Xia He was a skinny old man, his eyes were narrowed as if he had wrinkles all over his face, and his beard was dry. Beside him stood a beautiful young girl.

She had beautiful features and a delicate nose. She was wearing a white blouse and a bright red leather belt. She was wearing a bright yellow dress and exuded an aura of youthful vigor. This was an extremely beautiful young girl.

"Second Miss, why are you here?"

Xia Yanru, the second daughter of Xia Family Patriarch Xia Shiwen, had been intelligent since childhood. Although he didn't have much talent for cultivation, he had managed his family's businesses in a neat and orderly manner, and was very favored. In addition to her beautiful appearance, she was truly a proud daughter of heaven.

However, the fact that Second Miss came here now made Zhu Chengdan's heart tighten.

The young girl didn't say anything, but Xia He, who was beside her, smiled coldly, "Brother Zhu, what are you so nervous about? Second Miss is inspecting our family's property, is there a problem?"

Zhu Chengdan laughed boldly: "What a joke. Old Zhu, of course I welcome Second Miss." As she spoke, she bowed towards Xia Yanru, "Greetings to Miss."

The girl pursed her lips into a smile and nodded, "Master Zhu is in a good mood today."

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhu Chengdan laughed as he opened the door. "I wonder what orders do you have for Big Brother Second Miss to come here today?"

Xia He squinted his eyes and said in a weird tone, "Old Zhu, when you asked for the ingredients two days ago, didn't you mention to me that the pill you refined for my master's hidden injuries were first effective? I just brought Second Miss here to take a look. "

Master Zhu thought in his heart, they didn't come with good intentions.

He had sought to break through and concoct the healing panacea, 'Condensation Pill'. He had especially requested for the ingredients from Xia He, who was in charge of concocting pills. At that time, he was still suspicious that this old guy was so straightforward. He didn't think that he would be waiting for him here.

The Congealing Pill was a fifth grade pill. If it was refined successfully, Zhu Chengdan could break through to become a fourth tier alchemist and become one of the top existences in the Ningnan City.

But how could the Congealing Pill be so easy to refine? It had only been three days since the application was made, even if it was a tier 7 alchemist or above, it was still impossible!

Xia Yanru smiled warmly and said softly, "Master Zhu, I heard that you can concoct a Congealing Pill, so I couldn't wait to come today. Father has been suffering from internal injuries for many years, please forgive this little girl for her rudeness. "

Since Second Miss had already said so, Master Zhu could only reply, "It's okay, it's okay. If Miss needs it, I can start now. "

Even though Zhu Chengdan had only studied the pill formula and had yet to try it out, he was, after all, a grade-3 apothecary. He felt that even if he were to start now, he would still have a seventy percent certainty of being able to finish the first batch.

Even if he was unlucky, he should be able to achieve something within three batches. This old guy Xia He wanted to catch him off guard, so it could be said that he looked down on him!

Zhu Chengdan wanted to humiliate Xia He in front of Second Miss!

"Then it can't be any better," Xia Yanru said happily. "I'm just looking forward to Master Zhu's success!"

Xia He was also standing at the side, with a fake smile on his face. It was unknown what he was thinking, "That's right, that's right. I wish my little brother success."

Seeing Xia He's attitude, Zhu Chengdan was also scared. With his eyes, he signaled Xia Ling to wait first and invited Xia Yanru and Xia He to have a seat. Zhang Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he prepared himself to forge the pill.

Although it was Master Zhu's first time trying to refine a fifth stage pill, he was already mentally prepared and was quite calm.

He skillfully operated the apparatus, calculating the time of every step in his mind. Everything was under his control. Old Zhu's heart slowly calmed down. The process this time was unexpectedly smooth. Perhaps he might really succeed in his first attempt!

Although Master Zhu's technique wasn't as natural as Xia Ling's, it was still extremely proficient.

Congealing Pills were considered complicated even amongst fifth grade pill. Since Zhu Chengdan dared to breakthrough with this kind of pill, it was also very risky. The most important step in the process was to use the ground red rock to torture the Life Grass to stimulate its medicinal properties.

Once you're done, you can enter the furnace.

The Life Qi Grass was already in the pot. Zhu Chengdan used his left hand to grind the red tassel into powder. He felt that something was wrong, but he was extremely accurate when concocting pills. Without much time to think, Master Zhu added the red tassel stone in.

The flame was jumping slowly. Master Zhu estimated the time and with a flick of his inner force, he added all the processed materials into the furnace. Circulating his cultivation technique, Zhang Xuan's palm imbued the bottom of the cauldron and ignited the flames in the cauldron.

He didn't dare to rely on his inner strength to control the fire like Xia Ling, but this method of igniting the fire was not a problem.

However, something unexpected happened. The moment the flame was ignited, it actually began to expand violently, transforming into a blazing white light in the blink of an eye, and then exploded with a loud bang!

What, such a thing actually happened!

For a 3-star apothecary to explode in such a manner!

Master Zhu didn't have time to react at all, the powerful impact went straight to his heart meridian through his arm. The man spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

This sudden development made everyone stand up in shock. Xia Yanru's beautiful face was filled with astonishment, while Xia He's feigned panic had a trace of coldness on it.

Xia Ling, who was sitting upright on the side, couldn't help but frown. The smell that was spreading in the air earlier was definitely from the Molten Rock. Why would Master Zhu's hands be covered in it?

This was a very dangerous explosive!

"Xia He, you …" Zhu Chengdan was shocked and angry at the same time, but he couldn't say a word. He had finally understood that the red caltrop stone had actually been mixed with sulfur fire rock!

"Yo, Master Zhu, are you alright?" "Xia He slowly stepped forward with his back facing Xia Yanru, sneering." "The only apothecary in our family, he better not hurt himself."

"You plotted against me!" Zhu Chengdan shouted in anger.

"You can't talk nonsense about this," Xia He quickly shook his head. "Controlling the fire is the fundamental knowledge of alchemists. If you don't grasp it properly, do you still want to owe it to me?"

"Second Miss," Master Zhuqiang endured the pain and said, "Check the composition of the red tassel and you'll know soon! You must seek justice for me, Old Zhu! "

"Red Feathered Rock, where else would you find it?" Xia He sneered, "Don't be stupid!"

Only then did Zhu Chengdan realize that the intense explosion just now had messed up the counter. How could there still be any red tassel left over that had mixed in with the sulfur fire rock? It had already been burnt to ashes!

Master Zhu's face instantly turned ashen. Without material evidence, how could Xia He plead guilty?

But this explosion could completely destroy his alchemy foundation! Master Zhu's heart felt like it was bleeding.

"Elder Xia He doesn't need to worry," a young and melodious voice suddenly sounded from the side. "Don't you know that the red tasseled rock and the sulfur fire stone are different?"

Xia He was first surprised, then he calmed himself down and berated: "You must be a little boy from the alchemy lab, what business do you have now? It can be seen that Zhu Chengdan is also lacking in discipline and discipline! "

So what if Ashes is different, you still have to pick one out!

The young girl by the side asked curiously, "You said that Yu Jin was different. Is there a way to differentiate them?"
