Chapter 32: Still Able to Rescue

Master Qian left the room, leaving Su Chen alone, so he sat in the room drinking tea and waiting for Master Qian to come back.

Not long after, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open with a "bang", and a man dressed as an alchemy apprentice rushed in and asked hurriedly: "Where is Master Qian? Is Master Qian here?"

Su Chen said without raising his head: "No."

"Master Qian is not here, you are his apprentice, right?" The alchemy apprentice pulled Su Chen without saying anything, saying, "There is no time to explain, come with me quickly, Master Mo needs manpower to make the alchemy, it will be too late if you are late!"

Su Chen did not comment, and was pulled by the apprentice by his sleeve to a secret alchemy room on the fourth floor.

There were already five or six people in the secret room. The alchemy apprentice said directly to another older alchemy apprentice: "I found someone!"

The older alchemy apprentice looked at Su Chen, frowned, and said with obvious dissatisfaction: "Why did you find such a small kid?"

The alchemy apprentice who brought Su Chen was about to say something, but was interrupted by the older alchemy apprentice: "Forget it, there is no time, let him! You guys come quickly, you come to grind the seven-colored stones, you come to crush these Yunying grass... move quickly, Master Mo will start to make pills soon!"

Su Chen glanced at the deepest part of the secret room, and there was indeed a purple pill furnace there with curling hot steam. A white-haired old man in a red alchemist robe was busy next to the pill furnace with his back to them.

"That's Master Mo?" Su Chen asked. He had heard of Master Mo in his previous life. He was the president of the Qinghe City Alchemy Guild. He had a very high prestige in Qinghe City. He was a person who would shake Qinghe City three times if he stomped his foot.

"Yes, that's Master Mo. Stop looking! Come and cut off the heads of these iron wireworms!" A small can of iron wireworms and a knife were stuffed into Su Chen's hands.

Su Chen smiled and slowly cut the iron wireworms with the knife.

Master Mo stared at the furnace intently. The elixir he was going to refine today was the Snow Lotus Creation Pill, which was an extremely difficult elixir to refine. Master Mo had never succeeded in refining it so far.

Today was his seventh time refining. He had made all the preparations and had adjusted the elixir recipe based on his previous failed experience. He believed that there would be no problem this time and he would definitely be able to successfully refine the Snow Lotus Creation Pill.

"Materials!"

Seeing that the furnace was almost preheated, Master Mo called out.

The older alchemy apprentice hurriedly brought the prepared materials over, and Master Mo took them over. He put five of the main materials into the furnace in order, and then the auxiliary materials.

There are five main materials for the Snow Lotus Creation Pill, and there are as many as 23 auxiliary materials, a total of 28 materials. The order and timing of putting them in are very particular. If one of them goes wrong, the refining will fail.

In addition to the materials, the properties of the furnace and the steps of starting the fire are also very important. The furnace must be a cold furnace, and the starting fire must start with five fire sources, corresponding to the five properties of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

Master Mo was careful and followed every step. After doing all this, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

It's no wonder that he was so nervous, he couldn't afford to fail again. The materials for refining the Snow Lotus Creation Pill are very valuable, not to mention that he has failed to refine it six times. If he fails again this time, even if Master Mo is rich enough to rival a city, he can't afford to consume so many materials.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly this time, and everything was going according to Master Mo's expected steps. If nothing unexpected happens, the refining should be successful today.

Several alchemy apprentices in the secret room looked at Master Mo's busy back, and their eyes couldn't help but reveal admiration. In their eyes, Master Mo is their idol, the god of alchemy in Qinghe City, and his alchemy attainments have reached a superb level.

However, they did not notice that Su Chen, who was not far away, looked at Master Mo's movements and shook his head slowly.

After two quarters of an hour, green smoke began to rise above the alchemy furnace. When Master Mo saw the shape of the green smoke, his heart sank.

The shape of the green smoke was wrong. Could it be that the refining failed again?

Master Mo ignored the rule that the furnace could not be opened before the refining was completed, and walked forward quickly, lifted the lid of the alchemy furnace a little, and a burst of billowing smoke and dust rushed out of the alchemy furnace, mixed with a strong smell of elixir.

The pungent smell of the elixir immediately made Master Mo's heart sink again. He stretched his head to look into the elixir furnace. When he saw the black elixir embryos in the elixir furnace, which were far from the real Snow Lotus Creation Pill, Master Mo knew that the refining had failed again!

"How could this happen?"

Although he had a premonition, when he really saw this scene, Master Mo was still struck by lightning, and his eyes were dull and he muttered to himself. He had obviously done every step to perfection, so how could the refining fail?

What was the problem?

Master Mo looked at the elixir furnace in front of him with a messy face, and his heart was extremely frustrated. This time he failed again, which meant that he could not try to refine the Snow Lotus Creation Pill again in a short time. After all, no matter how much wealth he had, he could not afford to waste it again and again.

However, Master Mo was still unwilling to give up. This time the refining was perfect. What went wrong?

At this moment, Master Mo heard a voice coming from behind him: "This batch of pills has not failed yet, and it can still be saved!"

"Who is talking?" Master Mo was stunned and turned his head to look. Then he remembered that there was a group of alchemy apprentices helping in the room.

And the person who spoke was the youngest among this group of alchemy apprentices!

"Hey, are you crazy?" The alchemy apprentice who brought Su Chen here was almost scared to death. He hit Su Chen hard and said in a low voice, "How dare you speak nonsense in front of Master Mo?"

And the oldest alchemy apprentice hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Master Mo, saying, "Master Mo, please don't be offended. This kid may be a new alchemy apprentice and is still immature. We will take him away immediately."

As he said, the older alchemy apprentice turned around and whispered to Su Chen, "Why don't you leave quickly?"

"Wait!"

Master Mo raised his hand to stop him, walked quickly to Su Chen, looked at the teenager, and asked, "You just said that this furnace of elixir can be rescued? How to rescue it?"

Although Master Mo knew that he should not listen to a teenager's words, Master Mo was desperate at the moment. Anyway, the waste of this furnace of materials was a waste. Even if there was a 1% chance of rescuing it, it was worth a try.
