Chapter 42 Look, there’s a glow in his elixir pot! Xu Gu suppressed his emotions and returned to a calm mood. Although he suggested copying the magic skills and spreading them throughout the martial arts world, the impact it caused was far beyond his expectations. It not only attracted the hatred of the entire martial arts world, but also provoked an ancient physical cultivator in the tribulation period. Fortunately, the body cultivator who was undergoing the tribulation was suppressed by the joint efforts of the righteous path and the imperial court. There is no need to worry about retaliation. “Since Senior Brother Ping Wuqi and the elders can’t wait any longer, let’s go up the mountain.” Xu Gu said to the famous chefs behind him. "it is good!" Many famous chefs are eager to try it and have been waiting for a long time. Xu Gu trained them along the way. At this moment, they were very confident in their identities as alchemists in the Demon Cave and did not have to worry about anything going wrong. Li Shaobai and the others had originally planned to leave. They wanted to show off in front of Xu Gu and Huan Caiyi, but ended up becoming the foil for Xu Gu. However, after seeing this scene and asking Huan Caiyi, very complicated looks emerged in their eyes.
There was astonishment, surprise, confusion, as well as strong curiosity and anticipation. There's nothing we can do, since this is Senior Brother Xu Gu's operation. If it were anyone else, they would have started criticizing him a long time ago. Alchemy Peak. Although it was just built, it was still a bit empty, without much background revealed, and there was no alchemist to be seen inside. Obviously just an empty shell. However, in the demon cave, and even in the entire demon force, it was a shocking and huge move. The demons and Heping Wuji were already sitting at the top of the main hall of Alchemy Peak. There are rows of alchemy furnaces on the left and right. Fires are burning fiercely in the furnaces, but the air is not hot at all and is very cool. It is obvious that an array formation is used to isolate the furnaces from the heat from the outside world and to extract the heat from the air. "Greetings, Senior Brother Wuqi, and greetings to all the elders." Xu Gu bowed. This bow almost frightened the demons at the top to the point of falling off their chairs, especially Ping Wuji, who was known for his steadiness. As soon as he saw Xu Guna raising his head and preparing to bow, he stood up and hid aside. The consequences of this bow are too great to bear! Even for a lord like Xu Gu with a monstrous demonic nature, it was fortunate that there were no ancestral tablets in the Alchemy Peak, otherwise it would have been broken into pieces. "Junior brother Xu Gu, you have the talent for true inheritance. You don't need to bow to us when you see us in the future. They are all empty formalities. We in the Demon Cave don't care about these empty formalities." Ping Wuji said with a smile, holding Xu Gu's hand. As he spoke, he looked at the group of five righteous people beside Xu Gu and said, "You and Junior Brother Xu Gu are the same." Naturally, he could not forget these five relatively ordinary devil children sent from heaven. As soon as these words were spoken, everyone on the field jumped for joy. The demons don't have to worry about the consequences. Huan Caiyi and others also grinned. They originally hated this set of cumbersome etiquette. If they met a respected elder in the righteous way, they might bow from the bottom of their hearts, but in the devil's cave, they would definitely be unwilling to do so and it would be best to save it.
I have to say that the magic path still has its merits. Ping Wuqi coughed dryly and got to the point: "I heard that you brought back some chefs...alchemists. How are their skills?" "Of course." Xu Gu assured: "The pills I make will satisfy you all." Then, Xu Gu said to all the famous chefs, "Have you all read the basic manual of alchemy? Well, let's start making the alchemy now." "..." All the demons, including the righteous undercover agents, twitched their lips and were speechless. Why does it feel like 'You have already learned the art of lighting, and now you kill the evil dragon in the tribulation period'? "Okay." Although the famous chefs were excited and expectant, they were also very nervous and unsure in their hearts. In fact, even professional alchemists may not be able to make a batch of successful pills with 100% certainty, let alone these chefs who have never even seen others making pills. Under the guidance of Master Zhao, the famous chefs took a deep breath, walked to the alchemy furnace in an orderly manner, ignited the fire, took out various materials, and began the operation. The pills they refine are the most basic Qi-accumulating pills, suitable for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. The pill recipe and medicinal materials are all aside. The demons and the five righteous men sat at the top, watching with frowns. Although they hoped that the refining could be successful, they felt that it was unlikely. really, There were no surprises. The chefs who were trying to make elixirs for the first time were so flustered that it was dazzling to watch. It wasn't long before the furnace started to explode. "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" It seemed as if fireworks were set off inside the Alchemy Peak. Fortunately, there was a formation to protect them, otherwise these famous chefs would have definitely suffered serious injuries. Huan Caiyi, Ping Wuji and the others subconsciously looked towards Xu Gu, and in their hearts they were actually already pessimistic about this alchemy competition. Perhaps, if these famous chefs practice more, they may be able to succeed, but this first time is definitely going to fail. And, if these famous chefs really need a lot of practice but can only refine low-level Qi-increasing pills, then there is actually no need to use them, as other demon cultivators can also do it. However, Xu Gu's expression remained unchanged. He did not show any emotion or panic, and was very calm. "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Finally, after a series of furnace explosions, only two chefs were left on the field. One is Master Zhao, who is known as a cooking god. Zhao Dazui, who was not even rated as a famous chef and was chosen to be the cook. "Can it be done?" All the famous chefs were extremely upset and depressed after their failure. They felt ashamed of the entire human race. After leaving the stage, they felt heavier as they watched fewer and fewer famous chefs refining pills on the field.
After all, am I just overthinking? Can a chef just be a chef? Finally, they all focused their attention on Master Zhao. It was obvious that Master Zhao had become the hope of all famous chefs. "It must succeed!" Master Zhao's forehead was covered with sweat. He was very nervous and tense to the extreme. He also noticed the changes on the field and realized that he could only rely on himself now! But the more I operated, the more something felt wrong. "wrong!" “It shouldn’t be like this!” “This is not right!” Master Zhao's brows were furrowed, his lips were dry, sweat was dripping like raindrops, and his hands were shaking. The more he worked, the more he felt something was wrong. If he continued like this, he would definitely fail. "Isn't it possible after all?" When the demons, Huan Caiyi and others saw this scene, they sighed, and it was obvious that the end had been announced. Master Zhao even began to doubt himself; failure was inevitable. But at this moment, Xu Gu spoke leisurely to Master Zhao and Zhao Dazui: "I brought you here not because I expect you to make alchemy, but because I expect you to make progress in cooking." "You don't expect me to make alchemy, but you expect me to make progress in cooking?" Master Zhao was stunned for a moment, and recalled the discussion with Xu Gu not long ago. Suddenly, he suddenly became enlightened and extremely excited. His whole spirit and energy changed: "That's right! Senior Brother Xu is right! We are not alchemists, so we naturally cannot use the alchemy method to make pills, but we can use the chef's method to make pills!" Thinking of this, he completely let go and did it very easily. He even abandoned the furnace and took out his own iron pot and golden shovel. "Ah? What's going on?" Everyone on the field was stunned. Why are you holding a spatula if you're just making the elixir? Zhao Dazui, who was standing by, seemed to have opened his Ren and Du meridians and had an epiphany on the spot. He also became confident and generous, but he did not follow Master Zhao's example and abandon the alchemy furnace and use an iron pot. "Sure enough, it's just as I thought." Zhao Dazui laughed. After a while. A golden light shot up into the sky. Master Zhao and Zhao Dazui succeeded in refining the elixir at the same time, and golden light came from Master Zhao. "Hiss! Did he really succeed? Using an iron pot?" "Also, what's this noise!" "Oh my god! It actually attracted the divine light!" "Listen carefully! There's even a dragon's roar!" "Could it be that they have refined a peerless holy elixir?" The demons at the top were suddenly horrified and shocked to the extreme. They almost trembled as they looked at Master Zhao's pill... in the pot. Then, everyone's pupils shrank slightly, their expressions were dazed, and they stood there in a daze. I saw that the pot did not contain any elixirs, but a pot of... rice? It was not quite right to call it rice, as this was a elixir that was about the size of a human head, and was countless times the size of an ordinary elixir. (End of this chapter)
