Chapter 6 (2/2)

After giving him the instructions, Shen Qing hesitated for a moment and said, “Young Master, you probably shouldn’t come home soon. If you can’t illuminate four stars, I’m afraid…”

“Of what?”

“I’m afraid that you would be beaten to death!” Shen Qing shook his head and left.

“What a dangerous world…”

His teacher wanted to beat him, his monitor wanted to beat him, and his family also wanted to beat him. There was truly no way for a weak student to survive…

Shen Zhe sensed an enormous pressure.

He observed the herbs in front of his eyes.

Since they were no real medicines, it was indeed easy to refine them, but it still required the power of the stars in his body!

However, since the two stars had died out, he was no different than an ordinary person. There was no star power at all!

He couldn’t let anyone know that, or his identity as a transmigrator would be exposed!

“Actually… I’m expected to heat those herbs until they are liquefied. It’s not complicated at all. I can try a few furnaces and see if they can bear the temperature.”

Without any hesitation, he went to one of the special refining rooms in the school and placed a standard furnace that he had just bought on the burning coal.

According to the procedures, he introduced the herb with the highest melting point into it and boosted the fire.

“Crack!”

The furnace fell apart, and the herb didn’t change at all.

He bought a few more furnaces, but the result was the same.

The furnaces were all simple, because the power of the stars could guarantee that they wouldn’t break when herbs were refined. But Shen Zhe didn’t have such power at the moment…

“The furnaces are too lousy…”

While complaining, Shen Zhe suddenly thought of something. “I seem to recall that my chemistry teacher kept saying that a certain item was heat-proof and could be used as a container of liquid metal. What was it called…?”

Some of the knowledge he overheard during classes in his precious life was currently useful.

His chemistry teacher mentioned a container which could be used for melting metals. If such containers existed in that world, wouldn’t they be perfect furnaces to refine the herbs?

“I believe it was called cru… crucible!”

Shen Zhe’s eyes glittered.

“I’ll ask if there is such a thing first… After all, I’m just refining herbs, and it doesn’t matter if it’s done in standard furnaces or not…”

Shen Zhe walked out of the refining room.

It finally occurred to him that it was already eight at night. He hadn’t eaten anything for supper yet, and he was starving.

“I’ll have supper first. Perhaps I can find out if and where crucibles are available…”

Nodding his head, he went to the cafeteria again. Because it was too late, few students were around. The vendors all cried.

“Dear customer, have some steamed dumplings!”

“Cheap fried rice here!”

“Have anything you want…”

Looking around, Shen Zhe was going to have something random before he continued his research, when something he heard changed his mind.

“Spicy lobsters! Griddled spicy lobsters, thirty wen apiece!”

“Griddle1…”

Shen Zhe hurried to turn his head over.

He was looking for a crucible (griddle), and it was right there.

It seemed that he was truly lucky!
