Chapter 33: Completely Shocked
"It's very simple. Just add three taels of copper crystal sand." Su Chen knew that Master Mo was anxious at the moment, so he didn't beat around the bush and said it directly.
Upon hearing this, Master Mo immediately rushed to a cabinet like a whirlwind, opened one of the drawers with a skill that was extremely inconsistent with his age, took out a bag of copper crystal sand, grabbed it without even looking at it, and threw three taels directly into the furnace that had not yet been extinguished.
Then, a black smoke suddenly came out of the furnace!
"It's over!"
Although the alchemy apprentices in the room didn't understand the Snow Lotus Creation Pill, they also knew that such a thick black smoke must have failed in refining. Even the smoke was like this, so the pill inside must have been burnt, right?
"It's all your fault. You've been talking nonsense for no reason. You've gotten yourself into trouble now, haven't you?"
"Master Mo will definitely be furious now. Please don't let us get into trouble!"
Several alchemy apprentices immediately complained to Su Chen. They didn't know what had happened to this new kid. He actually spoke nonsense in front of Master Mo. They just hoped that he wouldn't get them into trouble later!
But, just when they couldn't wait to draw a line with Su Chen, a long roar of surprise suddenly came from the other side of the alchemy furnace!
"It's done!"
In the spotlight of everyone, Master Mo took out four snow-white pills from the alchemy furnace with an ecstatic look!
These four pills were not only crystal clear, full of color, and as big as longan, but also exuded an attractive fragrance. You could tell that they were high-quality pills at a glance.
"It's...it's done?" All the alchemy apprentices were petrified on the spot. How could this be possible? How could a fledgling apprentice know how to refine the Snow Lotus Creation Pill?
"Hahaha, it's really the Snow Lotus Creation Pill, it's really been successfully refined, hahaha..." Master Mo almost cried with joy while holding the four Snow Lotus Creation Pills. You can't blame him for being too out of control, because this success was hard-won.
After a long while, Master Mo calmed down and walked towards Su Chen, took a deep breath, bowed his waist, and said with deep respect: "I, Mo Shiqiu, meet the master!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene was stunned. The president of the Alchemy Guild actually respected a fifteen-year-old boy so much and called him a master? Is this a dream?
Su Chen didn't expect Master Mo to respect him so much. You know, Master Mo is different from Master Qian Dan. He is an extremely respected master of alchemy. With Master Mo's status, even the Prince of Anyang has to give him some face when he sees him.
I remember that in my previous life, the Prince of Anyang once personally commented on Master Mo, "The value of Mo Shiqiu alone is greater than that of a city of one million people," and personally gave him the title "Mo Yicheng."
This shows how high Master Mo's status is in the eyes of the world.
Su Chen hurriedly helped Master Mo up and said, "Mr. Mo is the president of the Alchemy Guild, how can you salute me?" He felt a sense of emotion in his heart. He remembered that in his previous life, he had only seen Master Mo from a distance at the Alchemy Conference. At that time, Master Mo was an alchemy master admired by thousands of people, and he was just an ordinary person under the stage.
But in this life, Master Mo saluted him so respectfully, everything was changing.
On the other hand, the reason why Su Chen treated Master Mo with more respect was because he had some understanding of Master Mo's character in his previous life. He knew that Master Mo had a noble character and cared about the people. He often gave free pills to the poor and often waived the medical fees for poor warriors who were seriously injured or seriously ill.
I remember that in my previous life, there was an epidemic in Qinghe City. It was Master Mo who led several of his men to fight for twenty consecutive days without sleep before the epidemic was brought under control.
For such a person, Su Chen would naturally not be stingy with his respect.
"Master, you are too modest." Master Mo shook his white-haired head seriously, "Just because you can guide me to refine the Snow Lotus Creation Pill, you should be called a master by me!"
After speaking, Master Mo couldn't help asking: "Master, I still have one thing I don't understand. I want to ask what went wrong with my refining this time and why it failed?"
Su Chen shook his head and said: "In fact, your refining steps can be called perfect, but you overlooked one point, that is, the pill furnace!"
"Pill furnace?"
Master Mo was stunned, looked at the purple pill furnace next to him, and asked in confusion, "Is there anything wrong with this purple silver furnace?"
This purple silver furnace is one of the pill furnaces he uses most easily. The cold attribute contained in it is also very suitable for refining the Snow Lotus Creation Pill. There should be no problem.
"You only see that the cold property of the purple silver furnace is suitable for refining the Snow Lotus Creation Pill, but you ignore that the purple silver furnace contains Qinyin Stone. Qinyin Stone will evaporate a small amount when it encounters heat. When it meets the Mingxin Flower in the Snow Lotus Creation Pill, it will generate many impurities. This is why you always fail to refine the Snow Lotus Creation Pill with the purple silver furnace."
"But if you add copper crystal sand when it is about to fail, the copper crystal sand can purify the impurities in the finished pill, and you can refine a perfect Snow Lotus Creation Pill."
After hearing Su Chen's words, Master Mo was stunned on the spot, completely shocked.
That's right, what Su Chen said may sound simple in principle. However, to be able to say this, it is necessary to be very familiar with the properties and characteristics of the Purple Silver Furnace, the Snow Lotus Creation Pill, and various materials.
The Purple Silver Furnace and the Snow Lotus Creation Pill are both very unpopular. Even veterans who have been immersed in the art of alchemy for decades may not know them so comprehensively.
Even if you know them, it is difficult to connect all this knowledge in a very short time and analyze the reasons for the failure of alchemy.
Even Master Mo himself did not do it, but this fifteen-year-old boy did it.
Master Mo was only shocked. He did not expect that there was such a peerless master hidden in Qinghe City, and he had never heard of this person before?
Thinking of this, Master Mo asked tentatively: "Master, what is your name and where do you live?"
"Master Mo is highly respected. If you call me Master again, it will be embarrassing for me." Su Chen said, "Just call me Su Chen."
"So it's Mr. Su." Master Mo nodded, muttering Su Chen's name softly, and suddenly remembered something, and was extremely surprised, "So you are Su Chen?"
Su Chen looked at him puzzled, and Master Mo didn't care about anything else, and asked quickly: "Half a month ago, did you cure an old man bitten by the Frost Heart Python in Wubao Hall?"
"Are you talking about that thing?" Su Chen smiled, "It's me."
