Chapter 187: Silver-Haired Old Man

Su Chen was also secretly shocked in his heart. He had only heard those old guys in the Alchemy Domain say that the body of the innate fire spirit is a natural material for alchemy. Today, he knew that what those old guys said was true.

Gu Qianxue not only has a strong affinity for the fire attribute, but also has a very fast grasp of the basic alchemy theory, which greatly exceeded Su Chen's expectations.

Su Chen's booklet is not an ordinary booklet. It contains some of Su Chen's understanding of the basic alchemy theory, which is equivalent to condensing the essence of the basic alchemy theory in this booklet.

Ordinary alchemy apprentices may need to read dozens of thick theoretical books before they can get started with alchemy, but for Su Chen, it is enough to just read this booklet thoroughly.

However, what Su Chen did not notice was that while he and Gu Qianxue were asking questions back and forth, a silver-haired old man sitting in another corner of the carriage was listening to the conversation between the two, frowning and shaking his head, looking extremely disapproving.

But it's no wonder. Su Chen's alchemy theory is too advanced. Many of them are theories that don't exist now and will only appear in the future. People nowadays will naturally think that there are many mistakes in them.

In addition, there are many advanced theories from the Alchemy Domain, which are contrary to some of the current alchemy theories of the Yunyuan Empire.

The old man is obviously an alchemist. At this moment, he frowned and listened for a long time. He seemed to be speechless about these "wrong" alchemy theories. He shook his head, closed his eyes and continued to rest.

Su Chen didn't notice the old man's reaction. Even if he noticed it, he wouldn't care. After he and Gu Qianxue played around and tested the alchemy theory for a while, he took out the bronze tripod and jokingly asked Gu Qianxue to make the alchemy.

Gu Qianxue hadn't condensed the alchemy fire yet, and Su Chen couldn't offer the alchemy fire in public to avoid attracting attention. So, he summoned the little sky fire, let the little sky fire release the flame under the alchemy tripod, and then Gu Qianxue made the alchemy in the alchemy tripod.

In this way, it is equivalent to Gu Qianxue and Xiao Tianhuo working together to make pills. If other people see it, they will only think that the little girl and the monster pet are fooling around, and they will not think too deeply.

——Although Xiao Tianhuo is in human form, it is reasonable to say that he is a monster pet with his whole body on fire.

"You refine Xiao Yuan Dan."

Su Chen decided the type of pill to be refined for Gu Qianxue. Xiao Yuan Dan is the most common first-grade pill. It is not difficult to refine and is very suitable for beginners to learn alchemy.

"Okay, Brother Chen."

Gu Qianxue nodded obediently, and then picked out the materials needed for Xiao Yuan Dan from the pile of materials in front of her, and began to refine it in the alchemy furnace.

At this time, the old man not far away couldn't help but open his eyes and watch again.

Alchemists are like this. When they see others refining pills, they can't help but watch. If the other party refines well, they can learn from their refining techniques. If the other party has problems with refining, they can learn from their lessons and avoid this problem in their own refining in the future.

Therefore, it is almost an instinct for alchemists to like watching others make pills.

However, after watching Gu Qianxue making pills for a few times, the old man couldn't help but get upset, his eyebrows raised high. This girl was not making pills at all, she was just fooling around, not following the various rules that must be followed in alchemy, but breaking almost all the taboos that cannot be violated in alchemy.

Nonsense, just nonsense.

With such an alchemy method, it would be great if the cauldron didn't explode, how could it be possible to make any real pills.

The old man shook his head unhappily, he couldn't stand these people the most, they were basically insulting the way of alchemy.

Originally, he didn't want to care, but the old man's eyes caught Gu Qianxue picking up a few more herbs and putting them into the alchemy cauldron, this time, the old man was completely upset.

Those herbs were incompatible with the herbs in the original cauldron, and putting them in would definitely cause the furnace to explode!

The carriage is so small that if the furnace explodes, it will definitely affect other people.

The old man didn't care too much and immediately stood up and walked towards Gu Qianxue, shouting in a reproachful tone: "Little girl, didn't your parents tell you that you can't play with the alchemy furnace and medicinal materials casually? Once the furnace explodes, who will compensate for the losses caused? Who will bear the responsibility?"

As he said this, the old man reached out to the bronze tripod, wanting to take out the few medicinal materials that Gu Qianxue had just put in.

However, when the old man's hand was halfway extended, a swift palm stretched out from the sky and grabbed the old man's wrist.

Su Chen smiled faintly, "Old senior, it's okay to talk, but it's not easy to get started, right?"

"You still dare to say that?"

The old man glared and scolded, "How old is this little girl? You actually let her play some alchemy game. You should know that real alchemy is very serious, not a child's game."

"These herbs are incompatible with the original herbs in the alchemy furnace. If they are heated like this, the furnace will definitely explode!"

"Since you are her companion, I just heard that you seem to know a little about alchemy, so you should stop her in time. What's the matter with ignoring her?"

The old man became more and more angry as he spoke. He obviously regarded Gu Qianxue's alchemy as a game. However, it was no wonder. There were few people in Anyang County who could use the alchemy furnace to make alchemy, because using the alchemy furnace to make alchemy required the condensation of alchemy fire. Therefore, the old man naturally thought that Gu Qianxue was playing with the alchemy furnace as a toy.

"First, do I need to explain to you how I act?"

Su Chen did not give the white-haired old man any face at all, and said bluntly, "Second, how do you know that these herbs will inevitably cause the furnace to explode?"

"Is there any need to say that?"

The old man frowned and said, "The golden cicada clothes and blue yam in here... all conflict with the medicinal properties of the green oil fruit in the alchemy furnace. This is the most basic theory. Do I need to explain more?"

"Qianxue, you tell him."

Su Chen was too lazy to explain to the other party and said to Gu Qianxue.

"Okay, Brother Chen."

Gu Qianxue nodded, then pointed to the silver powder in the alchemy furnace and said, "Grandpa, you don't have to worry about the furnace exploding. Xue'er added Liuyin powder, so the furnace won't explode."

"Liuyin powder?"

The old man was stunned, and looked into the alchemy furnace. He saw that the silver powder was indeed the Liuyin powder that Gu Qianxue mentioned.

At that moment, the old man was stunned. Gu Qianxue was right. If Liuyin powder was added, the furnace would not explode, because Liuyin powder could neutralize the conflicting medicinal properties of the herbs.

But how did this little girl know that? Adding Liuyin powder is a very unpopular method. Where did she learn it from?
