"Calm down, calm down. This furnace will explode in a minute. Just treat it as a joke and teach this little brat a bloody lesson so he won't have any unrealistic ideas that weapon crafting and alchemy are child's play."
The Old Gu gloated as he tried to persuade the curly-haired old man, chuckling as he watched the curly-haired old man blow his beard, his eyes fixed on Yang Zhen's pressure cooker.
The curly-haired old man sneered, "The terrifying pressure of refining a five-star pill, combined with the explosive power of the materials in this furnace, could easily blast this kid half to death. I'll see what kind of expression he makes when he fails."
Time passed slowly, and the two old men were getting impatient.
Yang Zhen didn't feel anything, after all, Supreme Old Lord would refine pills for a very long time, and this was only the beginning. Yang Zhen an outsider, and his alchemy skills were purely based on chance.
After consuming countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Yang Zhen finally stopped and added some firewood to the fire.
"It's going to explode!" The two old men exchanged a glance and said in unison, then simultaneously covered their ears and widened their eyes. One was furious, while the other was gloating, both staring intently at the expression on Yang Zhen's face.
Yang Zhen's face also turned solemn, and he stopped holding the Jade Lingzhi in his hand, staring nervously at the pressure cooker.
laugh!
With a soft click, the vent valve was opened, releasing a burst of hot air with a pleasant fragrance.
Yang Zhen hurriedly opened the vent valve, and a hissing sound could be heard continuously.
"Wonderful!"
The two old men stood up at the same time, cried out "Ouch!" and pulled each other, then fell off the tree with a thud.
The two men exchanged bewildered glances, then muttered to themselves. A glint of light flashed in the Old Gu's eyes. "They can do that? That venting valve is clearly ingeniously designed. It only opens automatically when a certain pressure is reached, and it can even stabilize the pressure inside the furnace. Who... who exactly is this kid?"
"This pressure is even more precise than controlling True Essence, and it doesn't require any distraction. This... this is simply Divine Artifact for beginner Alchemist!" The curly-haired old man's eyes also gleamed with a sharp light. The more he looked at Yang Zhen, the more satisfied he became. He secretly glanced at the Old Gu, only to find that the Old Gu was also secretly looking at him. His face immediately darkened.
"Don't even think about it!" the two said in unison, rushing towards Yang Zhen at almost the same moment.
Just as Yang Zhen put in the last two medicinal herbs, he saw two disheveled old men rushing towards him, and hurriedly threw a bunch of unstable array plates at them.
Rumble!
A series of explosive booms resounded, shaking the entire ground, sending dust and sand flying everywhere. The terrifying explosions engulfed the two strange old men.
It wasn't that Yang Zhen started hitting people at the slightest provocation; it was just that the two old men's eyes were too terrifying. One looked like he wanted to eat people, and the other seemed to want to eat even the stove.
Damn it, this is outrageous!
Yang Zhen hurriedly stuffed a handful of Five-Star Dantian Stabilizing Pill from the pressure cooker into his mouth, chewing them with a crunch.
Cough cough...
Two violent coughs came from the dust, and soon after, two old men covered in dust crawled out, startling Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen looked on warily, about to speak, when he suddenly realized that he couldn't move at all, and couldn't even make a sound. He immediately felt a chill and silently gathered all his Divine Sense power.
One of the two strange old men picked up the pressure cooker, while the other closed his eyes and sniffed around, almost touching his mouth.
"That's impossible!"
The Old Gu and the curly-haired old man said in unison, looking at Yang Zhen at the same time. "How did you do that?"
Yang Zhen rolled his eyes. Damn it, Laozi can't move or speak right now, how am I supposed to answer you?
What kind of mess is this? Just because I felt like refining some pills on a whim, I managed to attract two strange old men. Do these people usually have so much free time, wandering around in the middle of nowhere?
"This... this is ingenious! You can even do weapon forging like this?" The Old Gu grinned from ear to ear, then sat down on the ground with a serious expression and began to ponder the pressure cooker, scratching his head like a two- or three-year-old child.
The curly-haired old man shook his head and said, "The color is excellent, and the fragrance is wonderful. This is a top-grade five-star pill! To be able to refine such a high-purity five-star pill in such a short time, kid, you are simply a pill-refining prodigy. You are destined to become Alchemist in this life."
Yang Zhen to speak, but his mouth was completely out of his control. Otherwise, there was nothing wrong with him, and he had no idea what those two old men had done to him.
Old Gu suddenly jumped up, pointing at the curly-haired old man and saying, " Old Man Chi, don't be shameless! You call refining a worthless five-star pill a genius? Haven't you ever seen a real talent?"
Old Man Chi glared and was about to speak when Old Gu rudely interrupted him, holding up the pressure cooker and saying, "Do you even know what this is? This kind of weapon-refining technique is unheard of! This young man is destined to change the entire weapon-refining world. How can he learn alchemy from you? It's a complete waste of talent!"
Hearing this, Old Man Chi objected, shoving Old Gu's hand away and glaring at him, saying, "You old codger, want to fight? Changing the alchemy world is nothing special, is it? This kid might even surpass the alchemy grandmasters and become Alchemist!"
" Alchemist?" The Old Gu scoffed, "You're dreaming!"
You're short-sighted!
"You're being unreasonable!"
"You... I'll beat you up, you old geezer!"
"Hey, you dare hit me? I'll beat you to death, you old bastard!"
Yang Zhen stared dumbfounded at the two old men wrestling on the ground. With a thought, he used his spiritual power to break free from their restraints, picked up the pressure cooker, and turned to leave.
"Stop!"
Two voices came from behind him at the same time. Yang Zhen shrank his neck and quickly turned around.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura erupted from the two old men, as vast and overwhelming as a boundless ocean. Yang Zhen stared at them in astonishment, feeling extremely strange.
What kind of weirdos are these?
The two old men exchanged a glance, glared at each other, then turned to Yang Zhen and demanded in unison, "Do you know who I am?"
" Black Whirlwind Li Kui?" Yang Zhen blinked.
"No!"
Yang Zhen almost fell over; these two are such oddballs.
Those two old geezers were incredibly stupid, Yang Zhen didn't want to be associated with their stupidity, so he quickly turned around and left again.
"Kid, how about learning weapon crafting from me?"
"Kid, don't listen to this old man. Learn alchemy with me, and I can make you the most respected Alchemist in the Youzhou Continent."
"Bah! Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew? Kid, learn weapon crafting from me, and I can teach you to forge the most powerful Law Treasure!"
Yang Zhen looked at the two of them and asked with a smile, "Can you forge Divine Artifact?"
The Old Gu moment, then shook his head and said, "No!"
Old Man Chi chuckled strangely, then heard Yang Zhen's voice again. "Can you refine the Nine Revolutions Star Pattern Pill?"
"No... no!" Old Man Chi's eyes twitched.
"Then what am I supposed to learn from you, two old geezers writhing and fighting on the ground?"
Yang Zhen turned and left without giving him any face.
