Chapter 14: Show off your skills and then blow up the furnace

"can."

Lin Xin's proposal was exactly what Xingyuan wanted, as he also happened to have a great interest in refining pills.

On a larger scale, it can effectively improve the combat effectiveness of oneself and the future demon hunting team. On a smaller scale, it can be used to make money. Even if you don't perform missions, you can still earn a considerable income.

"Hey, come on then."

Lin Xin felt that this was a chance for him to show off his abilities in front of Xing Yuan and let him see the value of making friends with him, and he couldn't help but feel eager to try.

"Let me show you the level of the number one genius in the Potions Class."

"is it?"

Xingyuan rarely smiled, "I'll wait and see."

……

The alchemy room at the Magic Temple headquarters was much more complete than those Xingyuan had visited before, both in terms of various instruments and common alchemy materials. Moreover, they were all open to the members and students of the Temple for free.

Even some precious materials that Xingyuan had only seen in books could be bought here at extremely low prices.

The Magic Temple paid out of its own pocket to provide them with the best learning and training environment, but the other temples did not receive such good treatment.

After all, the Magic Temple is the temple with the strongest ability to make money and the fastest speed in realizing its abilities among the six major temples, so it is not surprising that it can do such a thing.

Or maybe it was because the Assassin's Temple where he had been before, the Exorcist Pass, was too poor...

"You seem to be quite interested in potions."

Seeing Xingyuan looking at the medicine materials in the cabinet, Lin Xin couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is your level of potion science?"

"Full marks."

Xingyuan replied calmly, and took out a rhizome of sweet stamen from the glass jar and put it in his mouth to suck.

It tastes sweet, just like what is written in the book.

I just don't know if it really has the effect of strengthening yang...

“…I-Is that so?”

Lin Xin naturally would not doubt Xingyuan's abilities.

After all, there are geniuses in this world who have photographic memories. Maybe Xingyuan is a genius in this area?

But Alchemy is not a subject that can be learned by rote. Making potions may seem simple, but there is actually a lot of knowledge involved.

Lin Xin has been studying here for so long and has perfect theoretical knowledge of alchemy, but he has seen countless examples of furnace explosions when actually refining pills.

But if it was this guy Xingyuan...

Lin Xin shook his head to clear his mind of distracting thoughts, then put his finger under the stove. The flame instantly ignited, heating the stove to the temperature he wanted.

I almost forgot the purpose of bringing Xingyuan here, which was to let him see my attainments in making potions. I felt from the bottom of my heart that it was worthwhile to make friends with him.

However, just when Lin Xin was grinding the blue-eyed tiger bone powder.

Xing Yuan, who was standing by and watching, suddenly asked, "Are you going to make the Blood Activating Pill?"

"Ah?"

Lin Xin couldn't believe his ears. He stopped what he was doing and asked, "Have you ever made this medicine?"

"No."

Xingyuan was quite straightforward, "I only memorized the potion formula because I couldn't buy the bones of the green-eyed tiger there."

"I see."

Lin Xin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and almost thought that Xingyuan was an all-rounder who had dabbled in all aspects and had a fairly high level of proficiency.

The fire was a little too high, and when the medicine was pounded, the remaining fragments from other people's work were not cleaned out, so a lot of impurities were mixed in.

Xingyuan knew that this was the result of Lin Xin being distracted while talking to him. It wasn't that he was not careful, but he had never thought that someone would make the low-level mistake of not cleaning the mortar after using it. Ah...

Xingyuan reactivated his future vision ability and saw the furnace explosion scene that was about to happen in front of him.

"Lin Xin!"

"What?"

Lin Xin, who had just noticed something was wrong, was reviewing in his mind whether his operation process was correct, and responded subconsciously.

Then Xingyuan grabbed him by the collar and they both fell to the ground.

Lin Xin had a confused expression on his face, but before he could ask Xingyuan what he was doing, he heard a loud explosion next to his ears.

The furnace exploded, and the power was quite strong.

Suddenly, the alchemy furnace made of magical metal material exploded, and fragments flew everywhere.

Now Lin Xin was even more confused. Why could Xingyuan realize that the furnace was about to explode faster than him, a potion master?

"boom--"

When a sharp piece of metal fragment was about to hit Lin Xin, it was blocked by a khaki spiritual barrier.

Seeing the earth element shield that was almost shattered, Lin Xin's face turned pale instantly.

After all, if this hit him in the face, he would be dead on the spot.

"There were other people's leftover materials in the mortar just now. It's not your problem."

Xingyuan stood up and said calmly: "If it was in my own personal alchemy room, this situation would not have happened."

As for the high temperature, it is a minor problem that will slightly affect the quality and output of the pill. He believes that with Lin Xin's talent in refining magic potions, he will be able to master the best temperature by trying slowly.

Don't give him too much of a blow...

Xingyuan thought secretly in his heart.

"Did you just see that?"

After catching his breath, Lin Xin felt very upset about the man-made disaster caused by his own carelessness.

Fortunately, there were only two of them in the alchemy room. If he accidentally hurt an innocent person, he would definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"I saw."

Xingyuan nodded slightly, "But before I could confirm, you had already poured all the ingredients into the furnace and closed the lid."

"..."

Lin Xin was silent for a while and then said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

"Nothing."

Xingyuan shook his head. "There was nothing wrong with your operation. This was just an accident caused by the disadvantages of using a public pharmacy. As long as you pay more attention next time, or have your own pharmacy, this kind of problem will not happen again."

"..."

Seeing that Lin Xin didn't respond for a long time, Xingyuan couldn't help but worry that the explosion would destroy the little confidence he had left.

"I was wondering why the furnace exploded for no apparent reason. It turns out that some idiot didn't follow the rules for using the equipment in the alchemy room..."

Seeing Lin Xin being silent for a while, then standing up and cursing to go find the person in charge to complain and find out who the last person who used this pharmacy was, Xingyuan breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

I really, I cried to death...

Seeing that there was nothing for him to do next, Xingyuan simply packed up and left. He still had a lot of magic to learn. Learning to refine pills was important, but for now he had to put it off for a while.

He didn't come to the Magic Temple headquarters to eat, drink and have fun. He came here to study and practice to fulfill the agreement he made with Cai'er.
