Chapter 5: Enlightenment of Alchemy

Yang Chen returned to his room and began to sort out his thoughts.

Yang Caidi is indeed not his biological sister, but his parents who picked this body up. To put it bluntly, there is no blood relationship. As for whose family Yang Caidi is the orphan, no one knows.

As for Yang Chen's parents, in his memory, Yang Chen can't even remember their appearance clearly. All I know is that his parents left the wilderness when they were very young and went to live in the prosperous areas of Beishan County.

He has not returned for more than ten years, and no one knows whether his parents are alive or dead. Instead, he and Yang Caidi were left alone, and their status in the Yang family was very embarrassing.

As the saying goes, a child without a mother is like a grass...

If it weren't for Yang Caidi's astonishing talent and her ability to be as responsible and capable as any man from the Yang family at such a young age, Yang Chen would have been expelled from the Yang family's household registration long ago.

However, even so, if it were the previous Yang Chen, he would basically be expelled from his household registration after three months.

Why do you say that?

Three months later, it will be the Yang family's 'adult meeting'.

This is a clan meeting that every young member of the Yang family must go through. It is a test for young members of the Yang family. Only after passing this clan meeting can they be truly recognized by the Yang family. Half a year ago, the Yang family issued a new system. If the younger generation of the Yang family did not show the strength of the first level of physical training in the 'Adult Meeting', they would be stripped of their household registration.

To be stripped of your household registration is simply to be exiled. You will be gradually marginalized by the Yang family. No one will care whether you live or die.

Yang Caidie also knew about this, but Yang Caidie completely maintained the idea that a dead pig would not be afraid of boiling water. As she protected her brother, she would still raise Yang Chen even if he was expelled from his household registration.

But Yang Chen didn't want to be so cowardly as to be expelled from his household registration at the adult meeting.

"First level of body refining..." Yang Chen murmured: "Let's take this as our goal first, otherwise we will be kicked out of our household registration at the adult meeting and there will be no resource supply, which will be a lot of trouble."

A plan of his own gradually formed in his mind.

What he was best at in his previous life was to explore a person's talent and use alchemy and various natural and earthly treasures to cultivate a person with martial arts talents into an outstanding genius. For him, although Yang Chen's current embarrassing position in the Yang family and the rumors that he is not successful at all can cause some obstacles, in the final analysis, it is not a problem.

But the most troublesome thing now is actually the problem of resources. His position in the Yang family is too embarrassing and he has no resources at all.

He had nothing to gain from academics, but he was short of money and extremely poor.

Fortunately, he already had a clear plan in mind, and said: "The most outstanding alchemist of the Yang family is the second among the seven masters of the Yang family, and is called the second master. This person It’s the master alchemy master of the Yang family, and today is when he is giving lectures, and it is said that if you can satisfy him, you will get a lot of rewards.”

Yang Chen was very interested in this 'reward', and as soon as he thought about it, he set off immediately.

"Master, you have to go out."

In Yang Chen's house, a servant sweeping the floor smiled flatteringly.

Yang Chen glanced at the middle-aged servant and nodded, but he didn't have much favorable impression of him. This servant's name is Zhou Huaiyi, who is responsible for cleaning up debris in the Yang family's courtyard. He is in his thirties and is respectful to others. However, since being betrayed by Hua Wanru, Yang Xian's ability to observe people has improved even more.

This week Huaiyi's eyes were full of tact and rebelliousness, seemingly respectful, but no one knew what he was thinking.

But this week Huaiyi was just a domestic servant after all, so he didn't take it to heart. He nodded lightly and without saying anything else, he packed up his clothes and rushed to Mr. Yang's place.

Second Master Yang, the most talented alchemist of the Yang family, is said to have reached the intermediate level of a second-grade alchemist at this age, and is the number one alchemist of the Yang family. Among the hundreds of tribes in this wilderness, he is also one of the best alchemists.

This person owns the only alchemy room in the Yang family, which is what Yang Chen cares about the most.

…

"In alchemy, the most important thing is the heat, and the second is conditioning. The control and understanding of the two determine the quality and quantity of the final elixir." Mr. Yang sat in the upper position of the alchemy room, stroking his white beard, and said to The alchemy disciples of the Yang family below were conducting an opening lecture.

At this time, a burst of noise suddenly appeared, which made Mr. Yang frown secretly. The source of the noise was just a young man from the Yang family who suddenly appeared in the classroom.

This young man from the Yang family is none other than Yang Chen who came from outside.

"Yang Chen, didn't you hang yourself? How could you still come to listen to the second master's lecture?" A young man spoke sarcastically, and his words did not hide his disdain for Yang Chen.

Yang Chen is a character that many young people of the same race in the Yang family laugh at and play with. In the final analysis, it is because Yang Chen is too cowardly.

At this moment, someone took the lead, and bursts of laughter could be heard one after another. The next moment, someone laughed and said: "Yang Chen, you had a bet with the Wang family and lost all your crotchless pants. You didn't even get a single elixir out of three furnaces of elixir-making materials. If I were you, I would hang myself immediately." Come on, you still come to listen to Second Grandpa’s lectures, that’s simply an insult to Second Grandpa! You’ve thrown the Yang family’s face into it, so don’t come here to humiliate Second Grandpa’s people again.”

Yang Heng, who had a gambling fight with Yang Chen in the morning, was also among them. Now that he saw Yang Chen arriving, he was even more angry.

He didn't know how Yang Chen was lucky enough to refine four bone-returning pills. He just felt that Yang Chen had some skills in bone-returning pills. Now that he saw Yang Chen coming, he even mocked him: "Yang Chen, second grandfather Lecture, if we are attending the lecture, we should arrive on time. You came in halfway, do you think you take the second grandfather seriously? "

Second Master Yang didn't have a good impression of Yang Chen, and he knew a little bit about Yang Chen's defeat to the Wang family and the loss of the Yang family's alchemy master's face. But after all, he is an elder of the Yang family. When he saw the students in the audience making such a fuss, he snorted: "You are all so playful, how can you behave like this? Do you take me, the second master, seriously?"

After hearing what Second Master Yang said, these Yang family children did not dare to make any mistakes and said one after another: "Second Master, we know we were wrong."

Second Master Yang had a serious look on his face, but he was not trying to help Yang Chen out of trouble. He didn't even look at Yang Chen, and said directly: "Yang Chen, it's been an hour since I started class. Now that you're interfering in the middle, are you going to hurt me?" Does this Second Grandpa take anything seriously? Now, just stand in the corner and listen to the class."

"Yes, Second Grandpa." Yang Chen also knew the rules and had no intention of complaining, let alone saying anything to humiliate himself. He simply stood in the corner.

Seeing Yang Chen's embarrassed look, Yang Heng sneered again and again, feeling relieved a lot.

There were also many young people who laughed at Yang Chen. Seeing Yang Chen like this, they winked and showed off their power to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen is not as experienced as these Yang family disciples. He has his hands behind his back and his expression is careful and meticulous.

This somewhat surprised Second Master Yang, because Yang Chen had dared to sleep on the spot while listening to his class before. Unexpectedly, today Yang Chen was full of energy and looked like he was going to listen to the class seriously.

Mr. Yang was doubtful, but he did not stop his movements. He said slowly: "I have said everything that needs to be said, okay. Next, I will refine a batch of first-grade elixirs in front of you. This elixir is called Qinghuo Dan, and it is a high-level elixir that is very difficult to refine among first-class elixirs. If you can successfully refine this elixir, you will have the level of a first-class high-level alchemist."

"Next, I will start refining the elixir. How much you can understand from my method depends entirely on your luck."

After Mr. Yang said these words, all the disciples of the Yang family began to hold their breath and carefully observed Mr. Yang's alchemy.

Yang Chen is also observing. Of course, he is observing, but he is not intending to learn. Although Yang Erye's alchemy skills are like a myth in the Yang family, and people aspire to them, in his heart, he is still an inferior character. When he observes Yang Erye's alchemy, he has other ideas in his mind.

What made him curious was that Second Master Yang was much better than Yang Heng's half-assed alchemy technique. It could be said that he was very skilled and had already mastered a lot of the truth of alchemy.

"Second Master Yang knows how to put the ingredients first and then control the fire. It seems that he knows some details of alchemy." Yang Chen thought in his mind.

When Mr. Yang was refining the alchemy, he worked carefully for about half an hour. Suddenly, the fragrance spread in the alchemy furnace. Immediately afterwards, Mr. Yang slapped the alchemy furnace with his big hand. With a bang, two pills with round and smooth texture jumped out of the alchemy furnace and fell into the hands of Mr. Yang.

There was a smile on Mr. Yang's old face, and he was obviously very satisfied with the results of the alchemy. He held two elixirs and glanced at them.

Seeing Second Master Yang's incredible alchemy skills, all the Yang family disciples were filled with envy, but when they saw Second Master Yang's eyes, they suddenly became solemn.

Mr. Yang stood up and stood with his hands behind his back: "Tell me, I just deliberately slowed down the methods, steps, and process of alchemy just now. In order to achieve the effect that you can learn from, can any of you tell me, How much have you understood about my alchemy process this time!"

When these words were spoken, there was total silence.

This made Mr. Yang's face gradually look ugly.

Only then, Yang Heng carefully raised his hands and stood up.

Second Master Yang was slightly happy: "Yang Heng, what have you learned? Tell me."

"Second Master, I just observed your method of refining the elixir. You throw the materials first and then use the fire-controlling wood to make a fire. It is different from the method that taught us before about starting the fire and then conditioning the materials. I guess that when you refine this fire-clearing elixir, This step is the most critical point." Yang Heng preached with confidence.

Mr. Yang narrowed his eyes and sighed: "You only saw the surface, but didn't understand the true meaning. Sit down."

What he said was quite euphemistic.

Because Yang Heng's words are clearly based on the idea that a blind cat will kill a mouse. How can anyone understand it at all?

He originally thought that if a high-level elixir was refined here today, the professor on the spot would unearth a few alchemy geniuses before the 'Adult Meeting'. But he didn't expect that the result would be like this. Yang Heng, the best alchemy genius, could only answer like this.

"Who else among you has learned something from my refining process just now?" Mr. Yang said with a serious expression.

"Second Master, I..."

Next, a few more Yang family children tried their luck and wanted to give the answer. After all, being able to win the favor of Master Yang was undoubtedly a blessing for the younger generation of the Yang family. Everyone knows that Mr. Yang has no descendants and has devoted all his efforts to refining elixirs and protecting the Yang family.

Obtaining his favor is equivalent to receiving the true biography of Yang Erye.

However, these young men's answers did not make Mr. Yang show any joy. Instead, they made the old man's face look ugly, and even showed some signs of anger.

"Your answers really disappoint me. You are trying your luck. Do you really think I can be fooled? Well, who else is willing to answer?" Mr. Yang sighed. At this time, he had already No hope left.

It was at this time that Yang Chen, who was standing in the corner, raised his hand.

"Second Master, I think I should have understood something." Yang Chen said neither sad nor happy.
