Chapter 117: The Moment To Witness A Miracle!
Chen Han also knew that using a gas stove and a pressure cooker was very abstract, but all of this was caused by bugs in the game system, and there was nothing he could do.
Under normal circumstances he should now be in the cultivation world, having succeeded in cultivation, flying on a sword and surveying the nine heavens, but instead he was here in reality playing at abstract cultivation.
He really wanted to ask the game system one thing: is this right?
However, seeing his junior sister’s reaction, he was very satisfied. What great material.
If even his junior sister could not hold it together, let alone those viewers; the effect would definitely explode when the time came.
Chen Han handed the mobile phone to his junior sister. “Next your senior brother is going to do alchemy. You do the filming.”
Then he took out the medicinal herbs he had purchased, as well as a knife, and began to cut, not forgetting to introduce them: “This is hundred-year ginseng. To refine one portion, you need to cut 15 grams. This hundred-year ginseng is about 20 slices in size, and this is hundred-year Si Zhong Root…”
Seeing her senior brother cut the herbs one by one and put them into a bowl, Xiao Yu asked doubtfully, “Senior brother, isn’t alchemy supposed to start with adding one medicinal herb, and when the refinement is almost done, then add another medicinal herb? You are mixing them all together like this, and once the pressure cooker is on, you cannot open the lid or add herbs.”
As she spoke, she seemed to understand. Her senior brother was purely filming an abstract video and had no real alchemy formula.
She suddenly wanted to cover her forehead. To think she had been expecting something for so long.
She had been teased by her senior brother again.
At this moment, Chen Han instead spoke with a serious face. “Junior sister, who told you alchemy has to be done that way?”
“???” Xiao Yu did not understand.
Chen Han had already started operating again.
The alchemy method given by the game system, especially with those passive restriction conditions of designating the spirit fire stove and spirit pressure cauldron, was definitely different from ordinary alchemy methods.
Anyone who has played xianxia games knows that for the alchemy function, you either control the game character to go to an alchemy furnace, or there is an alchemy interface in the attribute panel. But no matter which, you throw all the required medicinal herbs in at once, then click refine and that is it.
This body tempering pill now was roughly similar. You first cut the medicinal herbs proportionally, then put them all into the spirit pressure cauldron at once. There was simply no need for the troublesome steps his junior sister mentioned.
Moreover, in this alchemy process, the melting speeds of these medicinal herbs were different, so there was no need to add them one by one. Anything that could become a material in this pill formula had already been verified.
After cutting the herbs, Chen Han took the tools and actually began to pound the herbs into a paste, and even added water in the end.
The formula said that if there was something like spirit spring water, the alchemy effect would be better, but without the conditions, he could only use ordinary water.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yu felt her senior brother was really too abstract and could not help complaining, “Senior brother, I have read novels. In the alchemy world, this absolutely belongs to demonic heresy. Who does alchemy like you do?”
“Junior sister, don’t think that reading novels means you understand alchemy. You have to keep up with the times and use scientific methods for alchemy.” Chen Han completely ignored his junior sister’s complaints. He had already put all the pounded herbal paste into the pot, then turned on the fire, and started refining with the strongest high flame.
His expression was calm and breezy, but he also did not feel secure inside. After all, it was his first time doing alchemy, and the key was that this alchemy method was indeed far too abstract.
However, when wisps of special medicinal fragrance began to drift out, he relaxed.
The overflow of medicinal fragrance in alchemy was a good phenomenon.
Staring at the flame that kept burning, Xiao Yu asked worriedly, “Senior brother, using the pressure cooker like this, will it be dangerous?”
“That’s why, with scientific alchemy, we added water. Otherwise the explosion risk would be extremely high.” Chen Han smiled, and did not forget to turn the gas stove knob to control the size of the flame.
This was also the most troublesome part of refining the body tempering pill: alternating strong and gentle fire, the strong fire melting the drug, the gentle fire melting the medicinal properties.
If he were refining with true qi, it would only take a thought. Unfortunately his strength had no true fire at all, so he could only use this cumbersome method.
Xiao Yu kept staring at the burning stove and the pressure cooker. As steam began to spurt from the nozzle of the pressure cooker with a sizzling sound, she subconsciously took a step back, and even pulled the lens back a bit.
“Junior sister, do you have to be like this? You have so little confidence in your senior brother?” Noticing her movement, Chen Han said speechlessly, “I already told you, scientific alchemy.”
As he spoke, he also turned off the fire, then opened the steam nozzle, letting the steam inside pour out quickly.
Only after everything returned to calm did he open the pressure cooker. A lot of steam was still billowing out.
Xiao Yu immediately moved forward with the phone, aiming the lens into the pressure cooker, wanting to see what her senior brother had turned the pills into.
She did not know if they were burnt, or charred.
But when she saw the situation inside the pressure cooker clearly, she was stunned. She saw that inside the pressure cooker there were actually round, pellet-shaped, formed pills.
“Ah…” Xiao Yu couldn’t help crying out in shock, her face full of disbelief. “Senior brother, why is it like this?”
A look of irrepressible curiosity instantly appeared on her pretty face.
Each pill was very round. Even if made by hand, it would be impossible to reach this degree. Now her senior brother had so casually thrown the pounded medicinal paste into the pressure cooker, yet it had directly produced these smooth, round pills.
This was not scientific.
Chen Han knew this was definitely due to the game system, so facing his junior sister’s question, he could only make things up. “Because of scientific principles. That is what you get for not studying physics and chemistry properly.”
“???” Xiao Yu was directly confused.
What did this have to do with physics and chemistry? Did her senior brother think she was that easy to fool?
Taking advantage of the time, Chen Han had already taken the pills out of the pressure cooker. They were still very hot. Fortunately, with his current physical fitness it did not affect him. Then he quietly stored one of the pills into the warehouse and saw the remark information:
【Body Tempering Pill（Ordinary）: This is an ordinary body tempering pill. Used together with physical training, it has an excellent effect on tempering the body. 】
Chen Han frowned. Clearly alchemy had quality grades. The pills refined from these ordinary medicinal herbs were only of ordinary quality.
The remark information only said that used together with training, they had an excellent effect on tempering the body, with no attribute bonuses. They could not compare with medicinal cuisine.
He and his junior sister, Uncle, Uncle Dagou, and Uncle Shuisheng ate medicinal cuisine every day, so they did not really need this stuff.
However, for something produced by the game system, if it could be said to have an excellent effect, then the effect was definitely quite good. Having his junior sister refine some whenever she had time could help train the clan members.
For now, this was a secondary-level cultivation resource. Just as the game system’s prompt said, it was for raising younger family members.
Chen Han also took back the mobile phone and used the lens to give the pills a close-up.
“Senior brother, these pills look pretty good.” Holding the lens and filming, Xiao Yu could not help praising.
“Junior sister, try the effect of this pill.” Chen Han smoothly handed a pill to her.
Now that he had already cultivated true qi and opened his first meridian, this pill would definitely have no effect if he took it.
“No, no, no, I don’t want to eat anything right now.” Xiao Yu hurriedly shook her head. “I think we should let Xiao Jun and Dalong try it.”
Chen Han was speechless and directly filmed his junior sister’s untrusting expression.
What did she mean, she did not want to eat anything right now.
Xiao Yu was already using the mobile phone to call the two lab mice.
On the other side, Chen Jun and Chen Dalong were with Chen Lin in the ten mu plot, planting peach trees. It could be seen that along the outer circle many places had already had peach trees planted.
Although these were grown trees and it was the season for peaches to bear fruit, these trees only had green leaves. Their tree age was not yet enough to bloom and bear fruit.
Just as the two finished filling soil for a peach tree, Chen Jun’s mobile phone ringtone rang. Seeing the remark labeled Sister Xiao Yu, he immediately answered, “Sister Xiao Yu, what are your instructions?”
Xiao Yu immediately said, “Your senior brother refined a few pills for you. They are beneficial. You and Dalong come to Uncle’s house.”
Hearing this news, Chen Jun was full of surprise. After hanging up, he impatiently said to Chen Dalong, “Dalong, Sister Xiao Yu told us to go to Uncle Chen Lin’s house. She said Brother Han refined pills for us.”
“Really?” Chen Dalong’s eyes lit up.
“Would that be fake? Sister Xiao Yu personally called.” Chen Jun nodded firmly, then went to ask Uncle Dagou for leave. Hearing it was Sister Xiao Yu’s instruction, Uncle Dagou also told the two to go quickly.
Chen Jun and Chen Dalong hurried back to the Chen Clan, their faces full of joy.
The patriarch still cared about these little followers and specially refined pills for them. If it was not special treatment, why did only they get them and not the others?
The two quickly arrived at Chen Lin’s kitchen, saw Chen Han and Xiao Yu, and looked full of expectation.
“Try these two pills.” Xiao Yu immediately handed two pills to them.
Chen Han continued filming material, pointing the lens at the two and saying, “Alchemy has succeeded. My junior sister has summoned two heavenly prodigies of the Demon Subduing Hall from the family to first improve their strength.”
Chen Jun and Chen Dalong took the pills, dropped to one knee straight and firm, and cupped their fists.
“Many thanks, patriarch.”
“We swear to serve the patriarch unto death.”
These were the lines, right?
The two stared at the lens, feeling smug inside, especially Chen Jun. Just as his father had said, by joining the Demon Subduing Hall he could film videos with Brother Han. See, the opportunity was right here.
Their actions left Xiao Yu briefly confused.
This…
But Chen Han could not help showing a smile. This was the comfort of seeing talents emerging in the family.
With such tact, if they were not heavenly prodigies of the clan, then who was?
Under his gratified gaze, the two decisively swallowed the pills.
After a short while, both showed looks of surprise, because they felt a faint warm sensation in their bodies, very comfortable.
It was like the comfort of a good bath after intense exercise.
“Patriarch, this pill feels so good.”
“Yes, we felt it after just a short while. What effect does this pill have?”
Looking at the two of them, Xiao Yu could not help being surprised. “Xiao Jun, Dalong, not bad, you are really good at acting.”
“Sister Xiao Yu… we’re not acting. We really feel it.” Chen Dalong said quickly.
“???” Xiao Yu froze and looked at her senior brother in surprise. “Senior brother, your pills really have an effect? You weren’t using lab mice to test… no, give me one to try.”
Chen Jun and Chen Dalong were instantly stunned as they stared at Sister Xiao Yu. They had just heard the words “lab mice,” right?
But while his junior sister’s mouth was open, Chen Han stuffed a body tempering pill into it.
Moments later, Xiao Yu also felt something, although clearly less intense than medicinal cuisine.
At this time Chen Han explained, “Go for a run. This pill is to assist in tempering the body.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yu did not hesitate and directly took the two and ran out.
After leaving the courtyard, Chen Jun and Chen Dalong soon discovered in shock that they actually could not outrun Sister Xiao Yu.
They tried to catch up along the way, but they were chasing so hard they were almost out of breath. In the end, they could not even see Sister Xiao Yu’s dust.
Worthy of being the throat slitting and groin striking swordswoman.
However, as they ran, both also felt an indescribable sense of comfort from the exercise.
They had never felt this before, so it was clearly the effect of the pill.
When Xiao Yu returned to Uncle’s kitchen and saw her senior brother, her eyes were bright with expectation as she looked at him. “Senior brother, teach me alchemy.”
Chen Han smiled. Of course he would teach her. Otherwise how could he make his junior sister a tool person for alchemy?
So he began to teach his junior sister step by step the formula data, and how to control strong and gentle fire. He had her record the process on video, so she would not forget.
With the step-by-step alchemy, another batch of pills was soon refined, again with several body tempering pills.
Again they were round pill pellets in the pressure cooker.
Xiao Yu was very amazed at this, so when her senior brother had her practice hands-on, she sent a Weixin message to Xiao Mi Jie, asking her to come and witness this miracle together.
Chen Han once again stored one pill into the warehouse and checked the remark information.
It was still the same effect.
Pills refined from ordinary materials had no unexpected surprise. It reminded him of one thing: the ten mu spirit field.
What if the ten mu spirit field was used to plant these medicinal herbs?
If these herbs were grown in the spirit field and then used to refine the body tempering pills, would the effect be better?
The key was that ginseng and such would also bloom, and by the system’s abstract logic, that was also a flower.
Ginseng flowers were also very famous.
However, that would have to wait until the spirit field was renovated and the herbs were planted.
They would talk about it after the spirit field was renovated.
Watching his junior sister practice alchemy, he took out the filmed material and started editing.
After receiving Xiao Yu’s message, Xiao Mi was also very puzzled. Xiao Yu told her to come see something miraculous, but she had no idea what it was.
When she arrived at Uncle’s kitchen, she saw Xiao Yu messing with medicinal herbs and Chen Han editing video beside her.
She first greeted Chen Han, and then went over to see what Xiao Yu was doing.
“Xiao Mi Jie, you’re here. Watch me do alchemy.” Xiao Yu’s face was full of the desire to perform. She wanted to see Sister Xiao Mi’s surprised expression.
As she spoke, she had already put the prepared paste into the pressure cooker.
“Xiao Yu, you do alchemy like this?” Xiao Mi looked at Xiao Yu with a questioning gaze, as if asking if she was joking.
“Sister Xiao Mi, do you understand scientific alchemy or not?” Xiao Yu immediately imitated her senior brother’s manner of speaking, then seriously began to control the heat of the pressure cooker.
She was very serious about this. She was not good at studying, but she was quite good at hands-on tasks.
To avoid mistakes, she took out the video recorded earlier and followed along with it.
After a busy round of operations, the pill refinement finally ended. Xiao Yu said to Xiao Mi with excited joy, “Sister Xiao Mi, now is the time to witness a miracle.”
As she spoke, she released all the steam from the pressure cooker, then swiftly opened the pot lid and said with a beaming smile, “Sister Xiao Mi, behold the miracle.”
Puzzled, Xiao Mi leaned closer, then said with a strange expression, “Xiao Yu, this is the miracle you mentioned?”
“????” Sensing that something was off in her expression, and seeing no sign of shock, Xiao Yu also leaned over to look, and her own expression instantly froze.
Inside was one solid paste.
