Chapter 76: A Single Sentence Reveals the Truth! Changes in the Imperial City! Are the Great Abyss a
In the mist.
Chen Fan, dressed in rags, lay sprawled on the ground.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he had gone mad.
"Why isn't it working... What did we do wrong...?"
Chen Fan, who was still muttering something, was momentarily at a loss.
He just refined three batches of medicine at once, each batch containing different proportions of medicinal herbs.
But the result was still the same: all the furnaces exploded!
"Father-in-law, are you alright?"
Just as Chen Fan was talking to himself, Eunuch Wei came looking for him.
When he saw the mess on the ground, his eyes were filled with surprise!
"Our family is fine..." Chen Fan shook his head slightly.
Eunuch Wei was obedient.
They quickly helped the person up.
He glanced at the fragments of the alchemy furnace on the ground and asked in confusion:
"Father-in-law, are you refining pills, or what are you doing...?"
"Nonsense, of course we're refining pills!" Chen Fan sighed.
"I don't know what went wrong, everything's exploded!"
Alchemy?
Eunuch Wei's pupils contracted.
Having consumed the Rejuvenation Pill, he naturally knew of the existence of alchemists.
Unexpectedly, after only a few days apart, Eunuch Chen has also started thinking about alchemy!
"We've heard of alchemists; they're said to be able to concoct elixirs using common herbs and various other ingredients," Eunuch Wei nodded.
"These people are often very knowledgeable about pharmacology. Secondly, alchemy requires a good furnace. Father-in-law, do you think it's possible that this furnace isn't good enough?"
As the saying goes, a single word can awaken a person from a dream.
Chen Fan was taken aback by what Eunuch Wei said.
Suddenly realizing his mistake, he clapped his hands and said:
"You're right... This stove was brought from the palace, and its quality is indeed not very good... If we had a better stove, maybe the pot wouldn't have exploded!"
After saying this, Chen Fan, who looked like a madman, smiled and disappeared in a flash!
Seeing this, Eunuch Wei smiled but remained silent.
Thinking that the old eunuch was gone, he no longer needed to worry about being blown up!
He glanced at the fragments of the alchemy furnace on the ground, then turned and left...
……
Go back inside.
Chen Fan left the Imperial Stables without stopping.
It happened to be noon.
The Imperial Guards inside and outside the palace are changing shifts.
After disguising himself, Chen Fan arrived at the base of the wall and planned to climb over it.
But unexpectedly, he sensed a dangerous aura.
The aura didn't come from a person, but from the palace wall in front of us!
Upon closer inspection, these palace walls appear ordinary, yet they contain an extremely powerful aura!
The aura grew stronger, flowing continuously like a stream of water.
Compared to Chen Fan's own aura, it seemed to be much stronger.
Thinking about what Emperor Jianwen was planning to do, he couldn't help but suspect that this was one of his schemes!
Fortunately, this aura has not yet been activated and cannot harm anyone.
Secretly alarmed, Chen Fan gritted his teeth and quickly scaled the wall to leave!
After leaving the palace.
Chen Fan headed straight for the courtyard at the southeast corner of Chang'an Street.
As he passed through some markets along the way, he inevitably heard some rumors and gossip.
Some say that Emperor Jianwen was a perverse and domineering ruler, a complete tyrant.
Some people say that Emperor Jianwen was ruthless and actually arrested all eighteen princes at the same time!
Some even say that Emperor Jianwen has now stopped mining and refused to pay tribute to Emperor Changchun!
Amidst the conflicting opinions, Chen Fan was somewhat confused.
Not understanding much, he simply quickened his pace.
Soon, he arrived outside the courtyard.
After exchanging a secret signal with the gatekeeper, Chen Fan successfully entered the market.
One can vaguely see people coming and going in the market.
Powerful figures from eight countries gathered here, selecting what they needed.
As the saying goes, wherever there are people, there is a world of intrigue and gossip.
Even in the markets where there are many experts from the innate level and even cultivators, people still gather to exchange information!
"A treasure has been discovered within the Qin Kingdom, said to have been left behind by the former Guigu Sect. It's estimated that it contains a magic weapon for achieving the Core Formation stage!"
"Have you heard... it seems like the Great Abyss and the Changchun Sect are at odds. The Great Abyss royal family isn't giving the Changchun Sect any of the three spirit mines on the border!"
"I've heard that the Changchun Sect hasn't reacted at all. It seems the Great Abyss Dynasty has risen up in the last two years!"
"The Changchun Sect has been facing a talent shortage these past two years... I guess they're not in the mood to compete with the Great Yuan Dynasty!"
"There's a strong smell of urine! Who peed their pants?!"
……
At the back of the crowd, Chen Fan listened for a couple of minutes and then turned and left.
His face was flushed red, and at that moment he wished he could strangle the guy who had just said he smelled urine!
He wanted to see just how sensitive this man's nose was!
while walking.
Chen Fan stopped in front of a blacksmith shop.
This is no ordinary blacksmith shop; it's a place that specializes in forging weapons for both acquired and innate powerhouses.
There are three people in the shop.
The two thin, muscular men were probably apprentices.
The remaining burly, tall man with a stubble beard is probably the boss; judging by his cultivation level, he's at the Great Perfection of the Acquired Realm.
"Sir... what kind of weapon would you like to acquire?"
Upon seeing that a customer had arrived, the blacksmith shop owner immediately greeted him with a smile.
"The alchemy furnace...can you even handle it?!" Chen Fan asked bluntly.
"An alchemy furnace? You're an alchemist?" The blacksmith was taken aback, a hint of surprise on his face.
Chen Fan shook his head slightly.
His voice was hoarse as he responded:
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Just answer whether you can fight or not!"
"You..." The blacksmith shop owner was immediately displeased upon hearing this.
Just as he was about to get angry, he saw the aura of the Qi Refining Realm emanating from Chen Fan.
This startled him, and he quickly smiled and said:
"You can fight... how long will it take...?"
"The sooner the better, I need something sturdy and durable!" Chen Fan nodded and said.
Price is not an issue!
"Alright! Come back in two hours to collect it!" said the blacksmith.
"We'll calculate the materials later; you just need to pay a low-grade spirit stone as a deposit first."
Chen Fan didn't say anything more.
After giving him a low-grade spirit stone, he headed straight for the Hundred Herbs Hall.
Wait until the person leaves.
The blacksmith shop owner wiped away cold sweat as he watched the retreating figure.
He thought to himself that usually only those acquired or innate experts would come to visit his small place.
But for some reason today, a Qi Refining Realm expert actually came to visit!
The blacksmith, feeling honored, smiled and turned around, saying:
"Go and fetch me some cold iron; I'll forge this furnace myself!"
……
Inside the Baicaotang (Hundred Herbs Hall).
As always, Old Li sat in his armchair, drinking tea and resting.
He was humming a little tune and had a smile on his face.
"I've come to buy some medicine..."
Just as Old Li was enjoying life, a strong smell of urine suddenly hit him.
Smelling the aroma, he quickly stood up and said:
"Brother Wei, you've arrived... Please come in!"
Chen Fan nodded.
Without hesitation, he took out the prescription he had written down beforehand.
The above are all the medicinal materials needed for Qi Condensation Pills and Spirit Gathering Pills.
These medicinal herbs cannot be found in the Imperial Medical Academy of Dayuan, so he came to Baicaotang!
"Qi Condensation Pill... Spirit Gathering Pill... Brother Wei, what do you need these medicinal herbs for?" Old Li asked curiously after looking at them.
