Chapter 8 (2/2)
Even he, as a real Druggist, found it challenging. Furnace explosions were anything but unusual for them.
However, the liquid in front of him was a perfect combination of dozens of herbs. It was in the most perfect gold color!
Even if he were to do it personally, he could only melt them at best, and the product wouldn’t be half as impeccable as that!
It meant that whoever did it was even stronger than him in terms of refining!
“Mr. Xin…”
Feng Gan looked at him carefully.
He wondered if the Druggist had been driven mad.
If so, he would certainly be fired as the person responsible for the place.
“I’m fine…”
Mr. Xin kept mumbling, “The Masculine Sun Grass requires 971 degrees to be melted, and the Purification White Lotus requires 1432 degrees. The former will be ruined if the temperature is above a thousand degrees, but the latter will not melt if the temperature is too low… I’ve tested 129 times but still failed to melt them…”
“The Gold Threat Flower is cold in nature. Normally speaking, it has to be put in a three thousand degrees fire, when the fire has burnt for 13.7 seconds. Also, it needs Heavy Agarwood to melt other herbs. This gold liquid doesn’t contain any Heavy Agarwood. How did he make it?”
“The blood of the spiritual fox and the True Gold Grass are opposite ingredients. They have to be soaked in Purple Sun Water to eliminate their power before they are put in the furnace. The combination here obviously didn’t follow the procedure. I can even see that the blood of the spiritual fox and the True Gold Grass are perfectly integrated…”
…
For a Druggist, inferring the ingredients of a medicine was a daily task. The gold liquid, despite the smell of barbecue, was obviously designed to polish the body!
Xin Qi figured out the ingredients and the way to refine them easily.
However… no matter how he calculated and deduced, it was impossible to refine those herbs perfectly in such a refining room!
Even if he performed the mixture, the product would be acceptable at best!
Even he was incapable of doing that. Who was it that achieved it in the Green Abyss Academy?
Also, the most unbelievable thing was that, since perfection allowed no errors, the weight of the herbs had to be absolutely precise. The tiniest smoke or saliva during refining could have ruined the product!
So, to achieve perfection, the first requirement would be to work in a dust-free refining room!
There were no such facilities in the Abyssal Ocean Kingdom…
However, a perfect product had been made in a room full of dust, grease, and smoke!
“Mr. Xin, I’ll find out who was here and I’ll teach him a good lesson about the rules…”
Feng Gan was anxious seeing that Xin Qi’s face became weirder and weirder.
“Teach him a good lesson?”
Returning to himself, Xin Qi asked with his eyes bulging, “Who are you going to teach?”
“The saboteur who messed up this place just now, of course…” answered Feng Qian in a hurry.
“That’s bulls*it!”
Xin Qi burst into fury. “A saboteur… What saboteur? He was a master!”
“A master?”
“Yes. He was a real master of refining, and it’s our privilege to appreciate his work… Investigate it carefully and in secret, and do not piss him off. I’ll visit him in person after you find out who he is…” said Xin Qi.
Startled, Feng Gan looked around and felt like crying.
The smoke, the pepper powder and the stink of barbecue…
“You’re saying that a master refined herbs here?”
“Why do I feel that someone had a barbecue party?”
