Chapter 123 Second Level Alchemy Furnace
On that day, Si Shengcai came wearing a green robe.

He has an extraordinary temperament and you can tell at first glance that he is no ordinary person.

Following him was Hu Qingsong, who acted as the introducer.

Ji Chang was practicing in seclusion in the cave. When he heard that Hu Qingsong and Si Shengcai were coming to visit, he was slightly moved.

He lifted the restrictions on his retreat, straightened his robes, and went out to greet them in person.

The three monks met outside the cave, bowed to each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Brother Han, this is the Taoist friend Si Shengcai whom I mentioned to you before."

Hu Qingsong introduced, "Friend Si is also a well-known figure in the Zheng Kingdom's immortal cultivation world!"

Upon hearing this, Si Shengcai quickly waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Hu, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary person."

Ji Chang smiled slightly, and bowed to Si Shengcai, saying, "It turns out that it is Brother Si who has come to visit my humble home. Han Lin is sorry for not welcoming you in person. I hope Brother Si will forgive me."

Si Shengcai looked at Ji Chang, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

He returned the compliment and said, "Fellow Daoist Han, you are too polite. I have long heard that you have great attainments in alchemy. After seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed worthy of your reputation."

Hu Qingsong also echoed, "Yes, Brother Han is not only superb in alchemy skills, but also humble and polite. He is indeed a leader in the world of immortal cultivation."

Ji Chang said modestly: "My two Taoist friends are too kind. I was just lucky enough to get some opportunities and inheritance, and I have a little experience in alchemy."

"I wonder why Fellow Daoist Si is here this time? If you need any help from me, please feel free to ask."

Si Shengcai stopped beating around the bush and directly stated his purpose: "To be honest, I came here to ask Brother Han to help me refine a foundation-building pill."

"Although I have collected some materials, I am not proficient in the art of alchemy. I heard that Brother Han had refined a foundation-building pill for Fellow Daoist Hu a few days ago, so I came here specifically to ask for help."

Ji Chang's heart moved, and without much hesitation, he nodded and agreed: "Since Fellow Daoist Si thinks so highly of Han, I will do my best to help you."

"But the materials needed to refine the foundation-building pill are extremely precious and rare. I wonder if you have prepared them all?"

Si Shengcai was delighted when he heard this and said, "Thank you, Brother Han, for your help! Since I am here, I will naturally gather all the materials and will not waste Brother Han's time."

As he spoke, he took out a storage bag from his sleeve and took out a wooden box from the storage bracelet on his wrist.

"This is a small gift from me. I hope you will accept it, Brother Han."

Ji Chang took the storage bag and smiled slightly, saying, "Friend Si, you are too polite. I will definitely try my best to refine the foundation-building pill to repay your trust."

The two discussed the specific details and signed the spiritual contract before Si Sheng said goodbye and left.

Hu Qingsong did not leave with Si Shengcai. It seemed that he had something else to discuss with Ji Chang.

He picked up the tea in front of him and took another sip, his praise overflowing with words: "Good tea, really good tea."

Hu Qingsong savored the spiritual charm of the tea carefully and seemed to find something unusual, so he asked curiously: "Brother Han, this tea doesn't seem to be just a single kind of spiritual tea, right?"

Ji Chang smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Daoyou Qingsong has good eyesight. This tea is indeed a kind of spiritual tea that I carefully blended using the alchemy technique."

"It combines the essence of several rare spiritual herbs and undergoes a special refining process to form this unique taste and charm."

Hu Qingsong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he admired Ji Chang's alchemy skills even more.

He sighed, "Brother Han is really a man of great talent. Not only is he extremely accomplished in alchemy, he is also excellent at brewing spiritual tea."

Ji Chang waved his hand modestly and said, "Daoyou Qingsong, you are too kind. This is just a little hobby of mine in my spare time. It is not a real skill." He paused and added, "This spiritual tea is not a precious thing. If you like it, I will ask Xuexuan to prepare some for you before you leave."

Hu Qingsong did not refuse but gladly accepted the kindness: "Thank you very much, Brother Han."

After the two chatted for a while, Hu Qingsong took out a red alchemy furnace from his storage bag and carefully placed it on the stone table in front of him.

Although this alchemy furnace is only the size of a palm, it is engraved with complex patterns and is obviously a very good magical tool.

In addition, when the alchemy furnace just appeared, it exuded a hot breath, and even the surrounding air was slightly distorted by it.

Ji Chang's gaze fell on the alchemy furnace, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He carefully examined the weapon patterns and said softly, "Is this the weapon pattern of the Dao of Fire?"

Hu Qingsong nodded and smiled: "That's right."

Then, Hu Qingsong continued to explain.

"This is the alchemy furnace that Brother Han asked me to make. I brought it here today. I want you to take a look and see if you are satisfied."

Ji Chang was delighted when he heard this, and he looked at the alchemy furnace carefully.

"Fellow Daoist Qingsong, can you let me have a try?"

Hu Qingsong laughed when he heard this: "This furnace was originally made for fellow Taoists, so feel free to try it."

Ji Chang nodded, and then injected his magic power into the alchemy furnace.

The red alchemy furnace suddenly expanded several times in size and became half a person's height.

With the continuous infusion of magic power, the patterns on the furnace began to emit a faint spiritual light.

Immediately afterwards, a real fire burned fiercely in the alchemy furnace.

Ji Chang felt the heat and agility of the true fire in the alchemy furnace, and secretly admired in his heart: "This fire pattern is really extraordinary. It can directly give birth to true fire."

His satisfaction with this alchemy furnace was beyond words.

Although according to his observation, this red alchemy furnace is only a second-level low-grade magic weapon, and the true fire it produces is not that powerful.

However, in the absence of earth fire veins, it is sufficient to meet the smelting needs of most ordinary second-level spiritual medicines.

Even some difficult-to-smelt second-grade high-quality elixirs can be melted by this true fire after multiple processing.

In addition, the fire pattern on the alchemy furnace not only enhances its alchemy effect, but also gives it additional offensive capabilities.

Although compared with normal magic tools, the alchemy furnace magic tool is mainly used to refine elixirs.

However, many alchemy furnaces can be used as defensive tools in emergencies due to their sturdy bodies, and can even attack the enemy directly by smashing or bumping into them.

This is especially true for the red alchemy furnace that Hu Qingsong refined for him. Since it has fire-artifact patterns that can give birth to true fire, it can be used as a fire-artifact to some extent.

The true fire that is generated can not only be used to make pills, but can also be used to kill enemies.

The practicality of this alchemy furnace exceeded Ji Chang's expectations.

If this alchemy furnace were sold at an auction, the price would probably be far higher than an ordinary second-grade lower-quality magic weapon, and could be comparable to the price of some second-grade middle-quality magic weapons.
