Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

Chapter 208 Teaching Luo Chen and Chen Xi to make elixirs

When the two brothers heard this, they made a decisive decision without even thinking about it. They immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Bi Yue three times. "My two brothers have suffered hardships since childhood. Since we met the princess, we are no longer displaced and have enough food and clothes. We are very grateful in our hearts.

Now that the spirit stone has tested us, we have spiritual roots. We are willing to learn to cultivate immortality, stay by your side forever, and protect you forever. We will guard you with our lives. Your Highness, please accept us two brothers. We will practice diligently and will not slack off for even a moment. "

I was very pleased to hear his sincere expression. "Okay, I'll find a new housekeeper in the next two days. You can take over and stay by my side. It doesn't mean that you don't need to work if you practice Taoism. You still need to do things, but it will be easier because cultivation takes time. If you become a housekeeper, you will have too many things to do and won't be able to calm down and practice seriously."

"Thank you, Princess, for arranging everything for me."

After testing all the people, everyone started to disperse. Chen Chen came over and said to Bi Yue,

"Master, I didn't expect that among the servants you bought, there are three people with spiritual roots. It seems that there must be many children with spiritual roots who are cultivating immortals in this Changping country."

"Of course there are some, but if I want to bring them with me for cultivation, first I have to examine their character. Second, cultivation requires resources. I need to spend money to buy these techniques and spirit stones from the gods. So they need spirit stones and must work with me to create income. Otherwise, I can't handle it alone."

"Master, don't worry about money. We will do whatever you ask us to do. We will work hard with you to make money and will not let you spend more than you earn."

Bi Yue thought Chen Chen's words were very interesting. "Hahaha, our king always speaks sweet words. How can he spend more than he earns? I still have many good ideas in my mind. For example, my auction house has already been opened, and it will definitely make a fortune every day."

After dinner in the evening, Biyue asked Chen Nan and Chen Xi to go to Dingyuan Mansion and call Luo Chen over to learn how to make pills together in the evening.

After Luo Chen arrived, everyone went to an empty house. Bi Yue told the housekeeper that this room would be her alchemy room for practice from now on and no one could enter or leave at will. She also posted a piece of paper on the door.

After everyone arrived, Bi Yue took out the jade tablet and placed it between their eyebrows. The two of them received the knowledge of alchemy one after another. She asked them to close their eyes and digest it for five minutes, while she thought about and savored the basic knowledge of alchemy in her mind.

Bi Yue shared her experience with them again. She told them to learn with her own alchemy furnace first and then buy one with her own money. She asked Luo Chen to practice the first one. The recipe was for a sleeping pill. After the herbs and other things were prepared, she took out the alchemy furnace and placed it on the stone platform in the middle.

Bi Yue taught him step by step, asking him to use his own natal fire and how to transfer the fire from his body to his hands and then light the stove. She taught him step by step.

Luo Chen was very smart. After just one stick of incense, he was able to freely control his own natal fire. An hour later, the elixir in the furnace emitted a faint herbal fragrance that filled the entire room.

Everyone was very happy. It seemed that he was going to succeed. He controlled the flame very well. After a few minutes, the lid of the furnace was pushed open by the gas from the medicine inside, and a single pill floated down from it.

Biyue asked Luo Chen to pick up the small box beside him, open the lid, and put the pills in. There were six pills, which were low-grade pills. Although they had a fragrance, it was not strong. The system observed from the side and whispered to Biyue,

"Host, your fiancé is pretty good. He was able to make a low-grade pill the first time. Like you, he is very talented. Although this sleeping pill is of low grade, a mortal taking one can help him have a good night's sleep. Not bad, not bad, worthy of congratulations!"

Biyue praised Luo Chen generously, saying that he was gifted and a good candidate for alchemy, and would achieve great success in the future.

Luo Chen knew that Bi Yue was praising him, but he was still very happy to hear his sweetheart say that. It was as sweet as drinking a jar of honey.

Next I taught Chen Xi. He seemed a little nervous. Bi Yue comforted him and said, don't be nervous. It doesn't matter if you fail the first time. This requires frequent practice. You two should take turns practicing today. In two days, each of you should buy a furnace and practice hard. When I have an auction in the future, you have to help me make pills and I will sell them.

When the two heard this, they suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Bi Yue patiently taught Chen Xi how to make the elixir. How to do the first step? How to control the temperature? How to activate the life fire? She taught him every move and process in detail.

He also studied patiently and mastered it seriously, and did not disappoint Bi Yue. The first furnace did not explode, and the elixir was refined. Like Luo Chen, it was a low-grade elixir, a sleeping pill.

When he took the pills in his hand, he saw six pills in the box, which exuded a fresh fragrance. His eyes were red, and he shed two lines of tears. He lowered his voice and said,

"Master, I never thought I could make pills by myself. I'm so happy."

Chen Chen came over and patted his shoulder gently. "Xiao Xixi, why are you crying with joy? This is a good thing. It seems that you have the same talent for alchemy as Master Han. Follow the master and learn well. Your future achievements will definitely be extraordinary."

"Got it, my king. I will try my best."

Next, the two of them took turns practicing alchemy. Tonight, each of them prepared four portions of medicinal materials. After Luo Chen finished practicing one portion, he sat cross-legged on the futon and silently reviewed it.

Then Chen Xi came to practice, alternating. The two of them had a total of eight portions of herbs. When they finished practicing, it was already past midnight, but the results were quite good. Everyone saw the efforts of the two.

Chen Xi went from being timid at the beginning to being able to control it freely and flexibly later. Now he can control his own life source fire very well. The two of them did not explode the furnace tonight. Everyone congratulated the two of them, and then everyone dispersed and went back to wash up and rest.

It was too late today, so Biyue asked Luochen to rest in the princess's mansion today. After washing up, she took him to the second floor, spread out sheets and quilts in the small bedroom, and turned on a fan. It was also the first time for Luochen to come to Biyue's second-floor boudoir to rest. He felt that the whole room was fragrant, and he fell asleep soon.
