There is no need to chew. Just press your tongue against the roof of your mouth and the skin and flesh will become soft and tender.
Chen Mu couldn't help but squint his eyes.
In the past, when cooking, even with the secret medicine to soften the meat, the meat of exotic animals was still quite chewy.
It was the first time for him to eat such soft and tasty exotic beast meat.
"I'm in for a treat."
Chen Mu came to the restaurant carrying the alchemy furnace, and ate two bowls of yellow sprout rice with two halves of green leafy vegetables that had been prepared long ago.
After the meal, the five ghosts' black smoke poured into the alchemy furnace and swirled around.
The oil stains on the inner wall of the furnace disappeared in an instant.
The Hunyuan Furnace has turned into a good alchemy furnace with a matte black color, clean and refreshing.
……
After dinner, in the alchemy room.
Wind and Fire Cardinal Spell: Extreme;
"I have practiced another skill to the limit!" Chen Mu looked at the gray wall happily.
The various insights that came with proficiency made Chen Mu familiar with the black furnace in front of him.
Three hundred and sixty-five moments of cold and heat, eighty-one moments of breath prohibition, and seventy-two moments of thunder sound.
As long as you think about it, you can immediately adjust different combinations and build different environments.
"I have mastered all five types of talismans."
"The worst Hun Yuan method has already gained more than 2,500 experience points at the second level."
"You can start trying to make the elixir."
……
He took out the essence of the five grains that he had refined before, activated the Qi that could forbid a hundred miles of land, and a ball of white powder the size of a fist flew into the Hunyuan furnace.
Chen Mu hooked his left thumb around the left ear of the alchemy furnace and pressed his palm on the side of the furnace.
The Wind and Fire Cardinal Mantra was activated, and the top cover rotated slightly, a faint light flashed, and the inside and outside were immediately isolated, making it airtight.
"One hundred and eighty-three to two hundred and twenty-one ke of cold and heat, and thirty-five to forty-two ke of breath restraint."
"It's hard to grasp the scope, so let's take the middle first."
The talisman vibrated slightly, and the alchemy furnace immediately radiated high temperature outwards.
"The alchemy furnace is ready, and then we need to condense the elixir into a pill."
He hooked his right thumb around the right ear of the furnace and pressed his palm on the surface of the furnace.
At the same time, inside the jade seed, the spindle-shaped golden bead talisman drilled into the middle of the vortex-shaped Five Qi Hunyuan talisman.
A strange force suddenly projected from the palm of his right hand into the alchemy furnace.
The shallow layer of grain essence on the bottom of the alchemy furnace suddenly split into ten parts, flew into the air, and gathered into a ball.
With the intervention of Hunyuan strange force, the small ball of grain essence began to rotate on its own.
As it rotates, its volume becomes smaller and smaller, and it slowly solidifies into a ball from a ball of loose sand.
……
A quarter of an hour later.
Chen Mu opened the top cover.
Pills as big as ten longans flew out.
"Failed." Chen Mu shrugged.
The surface of the pill was full of pits and some places were charred with residue.
It's like a mass of white plastic that has melted together, it smells bad and looks ugly.
Fortunately, he had anticipated this.
If you succeed in one go, then becoming an alchemist would be too easy.
……
The Wuguidai brand dishwasher started up, and black smoke penetrated into the furnace to clean the inner wall.
A ball of essence of grains as big as a walnut drilled into the alchemy furnace.
Wind and fire are the pivots, and the five energies are mixed.
Chen Mu held the alchemy furnace with both hands and started practicing again.
Chen Mu kept trying again throughout the afternoon.
Unfortunately, there was not a single successful experience.
at dusk.
Chen Mu held an oval white pill in his right hand.
He was about to put it in his mouth, but hesitated for a moment and stopped.
A pinch with the right hand.
click!
The pill suddenly split into two halves like a peanut shell.
Bits of white powder suddenly fell from inside.
"It still failed." Chen Mu sighed.
"Fortunately, it wasn't all in vain."
He looked at the gray wall in front of him.
A brand new entry still appears.
Alchemy (Bigu Pill): 5/10000;
"It's done!"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 314 Spying
Five days later.
At the bottom of the cliff, there is the small warehouse of Danbao Pavilion.
Chen Mu handed in two hundred kilograms of yellow sprout rice and received sixty white jade coins.
Thirty of them are the reward for the alchemy boy, and the other thirty are the reward of two hundred kilograms of grain essence.
Chen Mu returned another twenty white jades and exchanged them for a wooden stick.
The wooden stick is two fingers wide and palm long. One side is engraved with a pattern of mountains and the other side is engraved with the words "two thousand kilograms of yellow sprout rice".
With this wooden stick, he could go to the General Affairs Office's warehouse to collect two thousand kilograms of yellow sprout rice.
……
The large warehouse of the General Affairs Office was not far away and was also built by hollowing out the mountain.
Compared to the small warehouse of Danbao Pavilion which is only as big as a basketball court, the large warehouse is much more spacious.
The top is as high as seven or eight stories.
Chen Mu stood at the door and looked inside. Perhaps due to insufficient light, he couldn't see the edge at first glance.
As I watched, a strange sense of disconnection came over me.
It’s as if the inside and outside of the door are two different worlds.
After thinking for a while, Chen Mu finally found something unusual.
The shortest cave in Danbao Pavilion is located five or six meters above the large warehouse.
But the height of this large warehouse is more than ten meters.
This……
"Never seen him before?" The short and fat warehouse manager who was helping him with the business glanced at Chen Mu.
"This is a method that can be miniature in a thousand-mile household."
"The original hole wasn't this big."
"Similar to the mustard seed talisman?" Although he had seen many strange sights, this still shocked Chen Mu.
"That's about right." The fat warehouse manager looked indifferent.
If you use this secret method in your own cave, your small three-bedroom apartment will immediately become a large flat!
"I wonder which high-level cultivator can perform such a secret method?" Chen Mu couldn't help but ask.
"Do you want to learn? Or do you want to decorate your own cave?" The fat steward glanced at Chen Mu.
"Let's talk about it when you become an alchemist."
Chen Mu paused and couldn't help laughing. What the fat man said was unpleasant to the ear, but it made sense.
This kind of secret method, whether you want to learn it or ask someone to perform it, requires Taoist skills.
I'd better just focus on practicing my elixir.
He then carried two huge hemp sacks and left the warehouse.
……
Not far away, beside the arched door of the small warehouse, Bai Xiuwen squinted at Chen Mu's back.
He turned around and asked the warehouse manager behind the long table, "How much grain essence did the newcomer hand in?"
The warehouse manager, who was in his sixties with white hair and beard, raised his head and looked out through the jade window.
