Uncle is so fierce

Su Fan welcomed Zhang Shanfeng into the room: "Don't worry, sit down and tell me the news that happened in the past few days."

Next, Zhang Shanfeng told Su Fan about the horrible news he had seen in the past three days with a sad face.

On the first day, Ruan Xingze and Bai Bingyang, one disappeared and the other died suddenly.

The occurrence of such a thing is enough to shake the entire world of cultivating immortals. Zhang Shanfeng is also shocked, but not surprised.

After all, the Nine Tribulations Sanxian is also a human being, so it's not surprising that he died. As for the disappearance, he didn't feel much. Maybe he was just tired, went out to play for two days, and returned by himself after a while.

It wouldn't even be news if it weren't for the coincidence that the date of his disappearance coincided with the death of another suzerain.

However, on the second day, the news of the tragic death of three other great suzerains was published on the headlines of the newspapers. They all died suddenly, exactly the same way as Bai Bingyang.

If Ruan Xingze's disappearance wasn't a coincidence, it would mean that five suzerains fell within two days.

Zhang Shanfeng was a little panicked at first, but he kept paralyzing himself, saying that it was just a coincidence, and it must be an acquaintance who committed the crime, so he resisted not looking for Su Fan.

But today, the newspaper came again, like a reminder, it once again published the news of the death of the three suzerains.

Among them, there is another one of the ten major forces, the suzerain of the Nine Swords Immortal Sect, Sword Eleven.

How could he sit still, and immediately decided to tell Su Fan about it.

"According to what you said, this should be a premeditated and organized serial murder case."

Su Fan analyzed: "The murderer's target is very clear, and it is the suzerain of the great sect."

"Yes, Uncle Master,"

Zhang Shanfeng nodded hastily and said: "So many suzerains have died, if we fail to keep them all, it will be my turn one day, help me, uncle!"

Su Fan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him:

"Don't panic, what's the situation outside now?"

"The current situation is turbulent, and everyone is in danger."

Zhang Shanfeng said: "After most of the suzerains died, the subordinate countries and towns controlled by their sects fell into chaos, looking like the end of the world."

"What about the area around Haotianzong?" Su Fan asked.

"Fortunately, nothing messed up, whatever should be."

Zhang Shanfeng said anxiously: "Maybe it's because I'm still alive, but I always feel that the murderer is coming soon. Do you think I should send two disciples out to investigate?"

Su Fan frowned and shook his head, "If I want to investigate, I can only do it myself. The Nine Tribulations Sanxian is no match for him, and it's useless to send more disciples."

"You're right, but you can't leave this alchemy furnace right now." Zhang Shanfeng said.

Su Fan turned around a few times, pondered for a while, and said, "Wait another three hours, when this pill is ready, I'll feed it to Jiao Ruo, and then go out to investigate it myself, how about it?"

The most urgent thing now is Jiaoruo's condition, as long as the enemy doesn't come to attack him, naturally he can't mess up.

"That's good, but Master, what should I do?"

Zhang Shanfeng said worryingly: "I'm afraid that I would die suddenly that day too, it's something bad."

"How is it possible, you think too much."

Su Fan reassured: "Don't worry, there will be no random things in this world, what are you afraid of with me here? If anyone dares to come to Haotianzong to provoke, I will kill one, so you should be at ease, right? "

Hearing Su Fan's assurance, Zhang Shanfeng was slightly relieved.

As expected, Master Uncle still makes people feel safe as always.

boom!

However, at this moment, there was a loud noise from Danyun Peak, followed by billowing black smoke, which shot straight into the sky, and could be seen clearly across several mountain peaks.

Su Fan's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

"Uncle, did you make the Vitality Pill?" Zhang Shanfeng asked hastily.

"I'm afraid not"

Su Fan looked up at the sky, and said deeply: "It's Maoshi, and it's still three hours away from the original plan to complete the alchemy. This movement is probably an explosion."

"Fryer?!"

Su Fan nodded: "Come on, let's go over and have a look."

As soon as the two of them approached the alchemy room, they heard a choking smell of burning. Weng Zijing and the others escaped from the inside holding their noses, coughing for a long time before recovering.

Su Fan hurried forward and asked, "Are you three okay?"

"It's okay, we're okay, it's just a little bit of a mess"

The disgraced three shook their heads one after another.

"It's fine, it's fine." Su Fan patted them in relief.

"But we refined and exploded your elixir. I'm sorry, uncle, I'm useless! Please punish me."

Weng Zijing knelt down on one knee, and Liu Cheng and Qingwen also knelt down on one knee.

"I'm sorry Senior Su, you punish us."

Hearing these words, Su Fan felt cold in his heart.

But he just sighed, and gently helped the three of them up: "It's okay, it's just a fryer, and it's not a big deal."

With the alchemy skills of the three of them, no matter in any sect, it is absolutely impossible that there is a problem with their operation.

And when I stared at it for the first two days, it was obviously going well, how could it fry the furnace?

But since the matter has already happened, it is undoubtedly the most stupid way to pursue the fault, and the top priority now should be to find a way to restore it.

"I don't blame you, and you don't have to feel guilty. It doesn't make any sense to find out who is right and who is wrong now."

Su Fan said, "Weng Zijing, can you tell me where we are now?"

"It's still short of the last blind auxiliary medicine. As long as it is added in another hour, it will become a pill. But I didn't expect the pill furnace to explode inexplicably."

Weng Zijing held his head tightly, and said in pain: "We have been watching from the side, the steps and procedures are all correct, and the supplementary medicine was newly purchased last week, how could it blow up the furnace?"

Su Fan frowned and said, "Could it be something wrong with my vitality grass?"

This is what he is most worried about. If there is really a problem with the vitality grass, there is a high probability that he was deceived by Kong Jiashi, and a small probability is that the grass itself is fake.

But no matter what the reason is, I have to spend some more time to find Kong Jiashi or find a new one.

Even if it is the fastest situation, it will take three days, plus three days for alchemy, the time is simply too late.

According to Su Fan's estimate, Jiao Ruo can last for at most five days.

Weng Zijing was taken aback for a moment, then looked back at Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng shook his head slightly and said: "Probably not. When you just gave me the vitality grass, I could feel the surging vitality inside it, and if there was really a problem, the furnace would have been blown up long ago, so I wouldn't wait until today."

Hearing this answer, Su Fan was slightly relieved.

If it is not a problem with the vital grass, then the problem lies in a certain link. As long as the problem can be found, there should be room for recovery.

"How many materials are left? Have you used up the vitality grass?" Su Fan asked.

"I don't know either. There was so much smoke when the furnace was frying that we didn't have time to see it clearly." Weng Zijing answered truthfully.

Then, the only uncertain factor now is whether the vitality grass is exhausted.

"The smoke cleared, let's go in and have a look."

Su Fan passed the three of them and walked straight to the alchemy room.

In the alchemy room, although the smoke was still thick, the direction could be vaguely discerned.

Su Fan didn't waste too much time, and quickly found the largest alchemy furnace standing in the middle of the house.

"rise!"

Lifting the lid of the stove, a strong smoky smell spreads over the surface, which smells a bit like the smell of the pot being dried out when steaming buns.

Don't think about it, this pot of elixir must have failed in refining.

But after the smoky smell, Su Fan smelled a faint scent of herbs.

It's the smell of organic grass!

Before he came back, he kept the vitality grass in his underwear pocket. He smelled it countless times, and it was almost engraved in his brain.

Very good, it seems that the vitality grass has not been refined yet, so there is still room for redemption.

Su Fan ignored the reddened pill furnace, and directly reached in to fish it out. He found a pile of sticky things.

After pulling it out, Su Fan looked at the palm of his hand. It was a fluid between solid and liquid, glowing red, a bit like pig iron in a high-temperature molten state.

Su Fan knew the steps of alchemy, so he could roughly guess what it was.

The vitality grass at this moment has gone through the process of melting and re-condensing, but now it is stuck in a semi-solidified state, and it is only a matter of blindly coagulating the powder to make the vitality pill.

Weng Zijing said that the supplementary medicine that was put in an hour later should be this.

The liquid vitality grass slowly cooled down in Su Fan's hands. After the red light subsided, only a dark mass remained, a bit like dry oak bark.

"Look, can this thing continue to be recycled?" Su Fan showed the 'oak bark' to several people.

"This is"

As a result, Liu Cheng studied it carefully, took out a book from the Qiankun ring and looked it up for a while, a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Senior Su, you are really lucky, this thing can be used completely, no problem!"

The more Liu Cheng talked, the more excited he became, "Not only that, this thing is even better than using raw materials to make alchemy."

"Oh? Let me tell you how to use it. It just so happens that I also gain knowledge." Su Fan laughed.

"Hahaha, you may not believe it, this is the first time this old man has seen such a thing."

Liu Cheng said frankly: "This thing is called Yuan Embryo, and the probability of its formation is lower than that of Cheng Dan, but if you use it to refine elixir, the effect will increase by at least three times."

"So exaggerated?" Su Fan exclaimed.

"Yes, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. In fact, few people have used this alchemy method in recent years. The raw materials are smelted into embryos, just like when iron is smelted, blacksmiths will melt pig iron into liquid iron, and then melt the molten iron Pour it into the corresponding mold to get the desired weapon."

"The traditional alchemy method is equivalent to directly carving a piece of pig iron into the desired tool, and then polishing it. The difference between the two is very big."

It has to be said that Liu Cheng is not only a master of alchemy, but also a very competent teacher.

His metaphor was very apt, and all the other four people present understood it.

"What's the advantage of alchemy like this? It can remove all the impurities in the raw materials, and only keep the most essential part, but because the success rate is too low, very few people use this method of alchemy, and it is almost lost now. gone."

"I think there is another reason why this kind of refining has been lost." Su Fan said.

"what?"

"Too much like a fryer." Su Fan laughed.
