"That goes without saying."
Su Chen imdiately asked:
"By the way, Miss Qin, may I ask where the alchemy cauldron is? When can you give it to ?"
"The alchemy cauldron isn't here, please wait two or three days, and I will deliver it to the villa by then."
Qin Nishang pondered for a mont and said.
"That's too troubleso, I'll co to pick it up myself then."
"Mr. Su, don't be so formal. It's no big deal, just a trivial task."
Qin Nishang smiled and said.
Su Chen stayed at Qin Nishang's villa for a while longer before leaving. The alchemy cauldron was always his biggest worry, and now that it was resolved, he was relieved.
After all, materials and fuel also require ti, so there was no need to rush!
Apart from entrusting the materials to the Myriad dicines Hall, he had also assigned people to gather fuel.
He required Fla Charcoal, which is collected from rocks ford after a volcanic eruption. Both the temperature and sustainability are far superior to ordinary fuel!
That wasn't difficult. It could be done with so money. A few days ago, when he was preparing for alchemy, he had already arranged for it, and it should be ready in a few days!
Now, Su Chen could only wait patiently!
He felt relatively more relaxed at this mont...
When he returned to the villa, all the ladies, including Xiao Xun, were still cultivating. Su Chen didn't disturb them and went back to his room to cultivate.
He cultivated until the evening, and after dinner, all the ladies engaged in leisure activities.
After a soak in the hot spring, Su Chen returned to his room...
Of course, with Du Hanbing, Ye i, and others soaking with him, it was inevitable for him to take so advantage—nothing unusual if it hadn't happened!
...
Over the next two days, Su Chen cultivated and occasionally strolled around the corporation without anything remarkable happening.
Two days later, the Fla Charcoal he needed was delivered, and on the third day, Qin Nishang personally brought over the alchemy cauldron.
Fortunately, Du Hanbing and Eniel went shopping with Xiao Xun, otherwise, seeing such a stunning and charming woman like Qin Nishang would have made them secretly grumble about Su Chen again!
...
Within Yuquan Villa, there was a large backyard, and at the very back of the yard were a few utility rooms. Su Chen had tidied up one to use for alchemy.
Su Chen carefully inspected the recently moved-in alchemy cauldron, noting that it stood over a ter high with a similar length, adorned with intricate patterns, appearing quite extraordinary.
"Miss Qin, this alchemy cauldron is not ordinary, is it?"
Su Chen casually asked.
"You have quite the perception!"
Qin Nishang laughed and said:
"This alchemy cauldron is a magic artifact."
"A magic artifact?!"
Su Chen was taken aback upon hearing this!
An alchemy cauldron was already precious, but being a magic artifact elevated its value imnsely!
"Miss Qin, this favor is a significant debt for Su!"
Su Chen couldn't help but exclaim.
"Then take your ti repaying it!"
Qin Nishang smiled with a beautiful curve at the corner of her lips.
After a while, Qin Nishang also left...
However, Su Chen still couldn't perform alchemy as the dicinal ingredients hadn't arrived yet.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long, and two days later, the shopkeeper of the Myriad dicines Hall called to inform Su Chen that everything was prepared!
After hanging up the phone, Su Chen imdiately rushed over!
To his delightful surprise, the Myriad dicines Hall had not only prepared the current batch of herbs but also completed the previous ones that Su Chen had requested!
Returning once again to the villa, Su Chen prepared to start alchemy!
Truth be told, Su Chen was filled with nervousness and excitent for his first alchemy attempt!
It was understandable, as this was a world he had never encountered before!
Below the alchemy cauldron was a square-shaped device resembling an ancient bellows, specifically designed by Su Chen to control the fla's intensity and duration!
After all, alchemy is a ticulous task, leaving no room for carelessness!
Of course, the elixir Su Chen was about to concoct was ant to help Lan Minghe recover his ridians, called the ridian Repairing Pill, intended specifically for restoring ridians!
Su Chen had long realized alchemy wasn't that easy, but when he actually started, he discovered just how challenging it truly was!
With intense focus, he managed the timing, order, and amount of herbs; the fla's temperature, size, position, and timings—each factor demanded attention!
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a loud noise echoed, and the alchemy cauldron's lid flew off. Su Chen saw the inside was burnt and charred, with all the herbs reduced to waste. Clearly, it was a failure!
Su Chen discarded the herbal debris, cleaned up a bit, but instead of imdiately retrying, he sat down to contemplate each step and detail, pondering where it might have gone wrong!
This was always Su Chen's habit: prioritizing thought along with action!
After three or four hours of reflection, Su Chen tried once more, only to fail again as expected!
And so, Su Chen sat down once again and started contemplating...
...
In this manner, constantly failing, pondering, and experinting, ten days passed without him realizing!
Luckily, Su Chen had prepared enough materials; otherwise, it would have been a real problem!
During these ten days, Su Chen remained cooped up in that utility room, hardly ever stepping out, now appearing disheveled and unkempt!
Although the won at the villa were concerned, they refrained from disturbing him, only occasionally checking in.
Su Chen implented many improvents, including extrely detailed aspects!
At this mont, he focused intently on the alchemy cauldron, as the fragrance of elixir gradually wafted out!
Su Chen waited for the right mont, lifted the lid, and saw inside two pills rolling about...
"Success! It's done!"
Su Chen picked up those two pills, overwheld with excitent!
This was his first successful batch of pills ever!
At that mont, he felt those previous ten days of tornt were all worth it, filled with a sense of accomplishnt!
Because Su Chen wasn't blindly guessing but making gradual improvents based on evidence, those ten days significantly elevated his alchemy proficiency!
After resting for a while, Su Chen returned his concentration to alchemy once more!
Another day or so later, he finally managed to concoct a total of twenty ridian Repairing Pills, each perfectly round and exuding a faint herbal scent!
...
That night, Su Chen took a bath, cleaned up his disheveled appearance, and enjoyed a good night's sleep, as he had barely rested during those ten days!
The next morning, after breakfast, he once again flew towards Yunhai Hall's headquarters.
It had been almost twenty days since Su Chen last left that place...
