Amidst the uneasiness in his heart, Li Jian entered the interior of the pharmaceutical factory. Along the way, many security guards greeted Chen Xianxi and called him " President Chen." Li Jian was envious and sighed at how glorious this kid was.
Finally, they arrived at the door of a closed research room in the pharmaceutical factory. Chen Xianxi sent his men away, and Li Jian followed him into the room.
"Is this a place for pill refinement?"
As soon as he entered the room, a whiff of medicinal fragrance entered Li Jian's nose, causing him to size up his surroundings.
Only then did he realize that this was a research lab that looked like a Chinese medicine shop. There were medicine cabinets everywhere in the room, and the names of the herbs were written on the cabinets. In the middle of the room was an experiment table, on which there were many scientific instruments, microscopes, experiment bottles, alcohol lamps, and so on. It really looked like a secret research base.
"That's right, Boss. This is a pharmaceutical factory under my company. It's responsible for the production of some medicinal pills that provide assistance to us cultivators, such as the Clear Spirit Pill, the Qi Transforming Pill, the Detoxification Powder, and so on.”Chen Xianxi proudly introduced the room, then paused for a moment and pointed at the room.""And this is the core research room of the pharmaceutical factory, used to research all kinds of newly developed immortal cultivation pills.”
F * ck! Could immortal cultivation pills be mass-produced? Li Jian nodded doubtfully.
"Boss, you can start helping me refine pills now.”
Chen Xianxi took a pile of herbs from the medicine cabinet and pushed them in front of Li Jian.
How could he know how to refine pills? He immediately felt guilty and carefully said,"Let…let me refine it?"
"Of course, I've just researched a new type of pill called the Essence Fusion Pill. It can help cultivators before the Foundation Establishment stage consolidate their true essence, but I'm constantly failing to refine it, so I've asked Boss to help me take a look.”
If you can't even refine it, what can I refine!
Li Jian thought so in his heart, but he did not dare to say it out loud. He pretended to be experienced and said,"Oh, since it's something you just developed, I might not have mastered the method. Why don't you refine it for me to see first?”
"En, Boss is right. I'll refine a cauldron first.”
Chen Xianxi nodded and picked a batch of herbs and placed them into a wok.
Immediately after, he circulated his true essence and a ball of strange fire appeared in his hand. It instantly caused the wok to evaporate and melt the medicinal herbs inside.
F * ck you! Was this alchemy? It was clearly cooking. Even the gas stove was saved!
Li Jian was shocked, but Chen Xianxi's subsequent pill refinement technique was even more eye-opening.
After the medicinal herbs melted into medicinal paste in the wok, Chen Xianxi actually began to rub the mud balls with his hands. He kneaded the medicinal paste into five mud balls the size of glutinous rice balls. After the mud balls were successfully kneaded, he placed them into the steamer at the side to cook.
"Okay, I've finished refining it. I can see the effect of the pill.”After he was done, Chen Xianxi went to the sink to wash his hands.
This…Could this be the legendary pill refinement?
You must be joking. Shouldn't you use a furnace or something?
Li Jian was dumbfounded and asked in a daze,"This…this is enough?"
After washing his hands, Chen Xianxi returned to Li Jian's side and said arrogantly,""Boss, don't make a fuss. Using a cauldron to refine pills is the method of a great god like you. We small cultivators don't have a magic treasure cauldron either, so we can only use the traditional method.”
Traditional your head! The furnace is the traditional method, alright? This is already very technologically advanced! Li Jian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The steam in the steamer started to boil, and the steamed buns…no, the medicinal pills started to become cooked in the steamer as the steam heated them up. In about ten minutes, a rich medicinal fragrance floated out of the steamer, making people feel relaxed and happy when they smelled it.
"Did he succeed?" Li Jian asked in surprise. This was the first time he had seen someone refine pills, so he was looking forward to the results.
"I'm not sure, but it's time to cook. Look, I've already failed many times.”Chen Xianxi shook his head helplessly and did not have much hope. He immediately opened the steamer.
In the end, a puff of steam rose, and the situation inside the steamer was revealed. The round medicinal paste ball inside had disappeared, turning into a pool of black juice that dripped into the steamer.
Haha, the result was 0.5!
Li Jian suddenly laughed and covered his mouth.
"Sigh, I failed again. Boss, don't laugh at me, okay? I've failed hundreds of times, and you're still laughing.”Chen Xianxi sighed unsurprisingly. He was even more dissatisfied with Li Jian's mockery.
"I…I'm not laughing at you. I'm really not laughing!”Li Jian hurriedly waved his hand, but he still couldn't help but snicker.
"Humph! Don't laugh, Boss, help me refine it. If I can't refine it, none of us will sleep tonight.”Chen Xianxi blushed and immediately sat on the ground, acting like a child.
Me? Li Jian's expression turned serious, and he could no longer laugh.
However, he knew that he could not escape no matter what. If he did not refine the pill, Chen Xianxi would definitely be suspicious.
"Good!" Li Jian hurriedly nodded and followed Chen Xianxi's example. He picked a batch of herbs and began refining.
Li Jian had already memorized the refining method just now. Moreover, he had learned how to stir-fry vegetables in his hometown, so his movements were very familiar. After putting the medicinal herbs into the wok, he took a lighter to light a stove and heated the wok.
"Hit…a lighter? Boss, why didn't you use your Thousand Transformations Divine Fire?”Chen Xianxi asked curiously.
I don't know the Thousand Transformations Divine Fire!
Of course, Li Jian did not dare to say that. He could only stammer,"You don't need to use divine fire to refine such an ordinary pill.”
"Oh." Chen Xianxi nodded and felt that Li Jian was right.
After a series of operations, Li Jian realized that the fire in the furnace could not melt the herbs. Instead, it began to burn the pot. It did not have the same effect as Chen Xianxi's heating with the Alien Flame.
We're done for. What should we do?
Li Jian was a little flustered. He looked around and found a bottle of water beside him. He thought about how his mother used to pour water into the pot when she was about to burn the pot when she cooked, so he poured the bottle of water into the pot.
At this moment, the wok was no longer burnt. Moreover, the medicinal herbs had been diluted by the water and turned into a lump of medicinal paste.
"Boss, this is normal mineral water. Adding it in will reduce the effect of the spirit herbs.”Chen Xianxi was shocked.
Li Jian did not care about this and explained,"It's okay, Ah Xi. Just make one out anyway.”
Just the same? Chen Xianxi didn't quite understand, but he thought that Boss must have his reasons for doing so.
Following that, Li Jian didn't say anything else. He boiled the medicinal paste in the pot until it was more concentrated before he started to rub the mud balls.
"Are you going to steam it?" Chen Xianxi asked as he opened the steamer.
"No need. Do you have a microwave?" Li Jian hurriedly waved his hand.
Just now, he had discovered some impurities. These medicinal paste originally contained water. If they were to be steamed in a steamer, the medicinal paste would also melt under the steam. Wouldn't it turn into a pool of medicinal liquid? It was impossible for it to condense into the shape of a medicinal pill.
Therefore, in order for the medicinal pill to condense into a shape, it had to be steamed to evaporate the moisture in the medicinal paste. That was why he thought of the microwave oven.
"Micro-microwave?" Chen Xianxi asked in surprise.
He had never heard of such a method of condensing medicinal pills. He felt that it was already very traditional for him to use a wok to melt the medicinal herbs. He did not expect Li Jian's method to be even more traditional than his.
"Yeah, is there?"
"Yes, there is one here."
Chen Xianxi couldn't figure out what was going on, but he still brought Li Jian to the microwave.
He turned on the microwave, put in a plate of medicinal balls, and heated them on medium heat…for 30 minutes!
OK! That's it. Mom steamed egg hibiscus. It seems to be like this too!
After Li Jian finished everything step by step, he found a stool to sit down and lit a cigarette.
Would Boss be able to do this? Chen Xianxi didn't say anything and could only wait at the side.
Soon, half an hour passed. Suddenly, a medicinal fragrance wafted out of the microwave.
Did he succeed?
F * ck, something's wrong. It seems…burnt again!
Li Jian was pleasantly surprised. However, when he took a closer sniff, he could smell a burning smell mixed in with the medicinal pill fragrance.
Ding! The heating time in the microwave was over.
"Boss, it's done. I'll open it and take a look.”Chen Xianxi also smelled the medicinal paste, so he went to turn on the microwave.
He took out a plate and a black pill appeared in front of them. It looked like it had been roasted.
No way, I also failed. Shouldn't I use the cooking method to refine pills?
Li Jian felt a little guilty. He secretly glanced at Chen Xianxi's face and found that his expression was even more serious, as if he was about to fly into a rage.
Suddenly, Chen Xianxi's joyful voice entered Li Jian's ears.
"It worked, boss, it really worked. You can actually refine pills using a microwave oven. Why didn't I think of that?”
What the hell! Success…Success?
