Chapter 24 Jealousy

"Brother, good morning."

As soon as he arrived at the cafeteria, Lu Li saw the limping figure busy and busy, and he often raised his arm to wipe the sweat on his forehead, looking very tired.

The fat man looked back after hearing the voice, and smiled after finding that it was Lu Li, and said, "Good morning." He then got busy again, and said while busying himself, "The buns are in the steamer, the porridge is in the pot, and the pickles are over there... You can do it yourself."

"Okay."

Lu Li nodded, took three baskets of steamed dumplings, a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickles, and then ate by himself. It must be said that the steamed dumplings were very delicious, with minced meat and chives, and the meat was obviously fried, not greasy at all.

After eating a few bites, Lu Li asked casually, "Brother, there seems to be no one else on this mountain. Can you finish all the food you made?"

"You don't know, there is another brother besides the elder on this mountain. The elder rarely comes to eat, but the elder is very picky. I will make a few more dishes so that he can choose freely, so that he will not be punished."

"Brother?"

"It's Brother Deng Qingsheng, the elder I mentioned yesterday. He is the registered disciple of the elder." At this point, the fat man sighed and shook his head and stopped talking.

Lu Li didn't ask any more questions. After eating hurriedly, he came to the door of the alchemy room and waited quietly.

After waiting for half an hour, Xiao Jue slowly came with a tall and thin young man in green. Xiao Jue was in front and the young man in green was behind. He looked quite extraordinary.

Seeing that Lu Li was waiting here in advance, Xiao Jue nodded and said, "You have good awareness."

After the words fell, Lu Li clearly saw the young man behind him frowning, but he pretended not to see it and said respectfully, "This is what a disciple should do."

"Disciple, what disciple." The young man in green immediately scolded, "You are just a chores, and you dare to call yourself a disciple. Remember, in front of the master, you can only call yourself a subordinate!"

Master?

It turned out that this person was Deng Qingsheng.

Lu Li frowned slightly, but did not contradict him, and bowed his head to say yes.

Xiao Jue turned around and looked at Deng Qingsheng, shook his head and said nothing, took out a token and pressed it on the door. After a flash of light, the door of the alchemy room was lifted up with a rumble.

Only then did Lu Li realize that the door was actually a big stone that was one foot thick.

The alchemy room was wider than the cave where Lu Li lived. There was a one-foot-high alchemy platform in the middle. A bronze three-legged alchemy furnace was placed above the alchemy platform. There was a knob mechanism in front of the alchemy platform.

There are many shelves around the alchemy room, with some jade bottles on them, and many books on the shelves on the east side.

After the two entered, Lu Li walked in with his head down.

"Boy, I guess you have never been exposed to alchemy. Today I brought Qingsheng here, one is to let him get familiar with alchemy, and the other is to show you, so that you can understand what you have to do when I make alchemy in the future." Xiao Jue turned around and said to Lu Li.

"Brother, I know."

Xiao Jue nodded and winked at Deng Qingsheng. Deng Qingsheng immediately walked back to the door and pressed a mechanism. The heavy stone door suddenly fell down with a rumble.

Just when Lu Li thought the room would become dark, several white lights suddenly shot out from the roof. It turned out that there were ventilation windows and lighting tiles on it.

It was just that when the stone door was opened, it was covered.

Then Xiao Jue stretched out his hand and took out a bunch of medicinal materials like a magic trick and put them in the jade basin on the alchemy platform. Then he sat directly on the cushion in front of the alchemy platform and gently turned the knob.

As the knob turned, a flash of fire suddenly appeared under the alchemy furnace, and the temperature in the room rose immediately.

It was really magical.

It was the first time for Lu Li to see alchemy, and he wondered how there could be such a big fire under the ground.

"Get out of the way!"

Just as Lu Li was thinking, Deng Qingsheng suddenly pushed Lu Li, almost making him sit on the ground. Lu Li was immediately furious, and after stabilizing his body, he glared at Deng Qingsheng.

"What, you want to be beaten!" Deng Qingsheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Li with contempt.

Lu Li's performance in front of Xiao Jue just now made him very unhappy. In his opinion, as a chores, he should have the awareness of chores. He actually wanted to climb up the big tree of the master, which was simply unforgivable.

"That's enough! You are a Qi training level 4, why bother with him? Just pick the herbs." Xiao Jue suddenly said indifferently.

"Yes, Master." Deng Qingsheng glared at Lu Li fiercely, squatted beside the jade basin in front of Lu Li and began to sort the herbs.

It turned out to be Qi training level 4.

Lu Li calmed down and looked at Deng Qingsheng's back indifferently, not knowing what he was thinking.

"This step is called hot furnace. The temperature should not be too high when hot furnace, otherwise it will cause an indelible impact on the first herbal medicine..." Xiao Jue suddenly spoke, not knowing whether he was speaking to Deng Qingsheng or Lu Li.

"Remember, Master." Deng Qingsheng said while sorting herbs.

Lu Li was about to speak, but he closed his mouth after hearing this, revealing a hint of self-mockery. He was just a choress, how could the other party instruct him, but he still took note of Xiao Jue's words seriously.

If you don't instruct me, it's not against the law for me to secretly remember it myself.

"Xuanzhu grass, one plant." Xiao Jue spoke again.

"Yes." Hearing this, Deng Qingsheng hurriedly took out a dark spiritual medicine from the jade basin, opened the lid of the furnace and threw it in.

It turned out that this was called Xuanzhu Grass.

Lu Li saw it and secretly remembered it.

The medicinal materials were put into the furnace, and Xiao Jue controlled the ground fire switch again. The fire instantly became bigger. Lu Li looked over and found that Xiao Jue was operating with his eyes closed. He couldn't help but feel curious. How did he know the size of the fire without looking?

And after a closer look, Xiao Jue's hand controlling the ground fire switch kept shaking slightly, and the flame under the furnace also changed slightly. If you don't look closely, you can't see it at all.

Lu Li wanted to ask, but didn't dare to speak.

Suddenly, Lu Li found that Xiao Jue's face trembled suddenly.

It turned out that a few drops of sweat flowed to the corners of his eyes. Lu Li changed his mind, looked around and saw a hand towel on the shelf behind him, so he carefully took it down, then controlled his steps and walked slowly to wipe Xiao Jue.

This kid has good eyesight.

Although Xiao Jue didn't open his eyes, he knew it was Lu Li's doing.

Cao! This lackey!

Deng Qing was so angry that his body trembled, and he wanted to scold him but took it back when the words came to his mouth.

Lu Li saw it but still pretended not to see it. As long as he could learn what he wanted, he would let him hold his shoes, not to mention wiping his sweat. As for Deng Qingsheng, he was probably jealous of Xiao Jue's attitude towards him.

"You can't control the fire in a hurry. You need to be familiar with the medicinal properties of the herbs. Different herbs require different heats. A little bit of over-refining or lightness will affect the quality of the pill. What we can do is to improve our familiarity with various herbs through continuous refining and countless experiments..."

"And you can't control the fire with your eyes to see the size of the flame. You need to sink your consciousness into the furnace and observe the degree of melting of the herbs at all times. Control the heat according to the degree of melting of the herbs. This is the best way..."

"It is said that as long as a powerful alchemist gets a kind of herb, he will know how much heat to use and how much time to melt it... That is our ultimate goal."

"......."

Lu Li held his breath and listened to Xiao Jue's intermittent narration, afraid of missing a word.
