Chapter 84 Concentrate on protecting your heart! Storm is coming!
Su Changkong then asked, "Second Miss, summoned me late at night, is there something to send?"
Sikonghuang nodded, she didn't beat around the bush, she made her request clear: "Master Su, I want to ask you to help me make alchemy."
These words made Su Changkong a little surprised, but just this?
Su Changkong is now the alchemist of the Giant Whale Gang, and he will not refuse anyone who asks him to make alchemy. Sikonghuang wants him to help with alchemy, so he can directly bring the medicinal materials to the alchemy room. Why call him over at night?
"Is there anything I should pay attention to?"
Su Changkong asked, he knew that Sikonghuang asked him to help with alchemy.
Sikonghuang said with a slightly solemn expression: "The pill I want you to make is very difficult, are you sure? There are only three medicinal ingredients."
"Second miss, I don't know what the pill is, and I can't promise you that it may succeed or fail. I can only promise to do my best."
Su Changkong didn't promise anything, he directly explained that he could only do his best, and he did not guarantee that he would be able to make the medicine that Sikonghuang needed.
Hearing this, Sikonghuang also laughed secretly to herself. She also asked Gong Zheng to help her practice pills before, but she forgot about this. That's normal even if you fail several times or ten times.
"This is a pill recipe, please ask Master Su to have a look."
Sikonghuang took out a pill recipe, and when she raised her white palm, the pill recipe was actually set off by an invisible force, and flew towards Su Changkong in a hurry.
"This Sikonghuang's martial arts cultivation is very good!" This scene surprised Su Changkong secretly.
But it's normal. Sikonghuang is the daughter of Sikongyong. She has the supply of training resources from the Giant Whale Gang, and has advanced martial arts and martial arts training, plus her own talent, she can't be weak!
Su Changkong reached out his hand to catch the flying Dan Fang, opened it and looked at it.
"Concentrating and protecting the heart pill."
The method for refining medicinal pills recorded on this pill recipe is a medicinal pill called Concentrate and Protect the Heart Pill.
"Concentrating the mind and protecting the heart, protecting the mind and calming the qi, it is a high-level medicinal pill used for healing. Even if the body is seriously injured, as long as there is still a breath, it can make the user's injury stop worsening and gradually recover."
Su Changkong took a closer look and found that this Mind-Healing Pill is a medicinal pill for healing.
"Could it be that someone is seriously injured and needs this Pill of Concentration and Heart Protection?" Su Changkong guessed in his heart, of course, it could be that the other party wanted to get a few in case they needed it.
"Master Su, how are you?" Sikonghuang asked.
"It's very difficult to refine this mind-boggling pill. I haven't refined it before, and there are only three herbs... I can't guarantee it."
Su Changkong said truthfully, his alchemy skills are almost at the fifth realm, not much worse than Gong Zheng, but there is no guarantee that he will succeed in refining the concentrating mind and protecting heart pill within three chances.
"Unfortunately... Master Gong suffered an accident." Sikonghuang sighed secretly, she had no other choice, and now the most skilled alchemist in the giant whale gang is this Master Su, although she doesn't know much about Su Changkong, she can only choose believe him.
Si Konghuang said at the moment: "Master Su, you can let go and practice, even if you all fail, I will not blame you."
"Since that's the case, then you can rest assured."
After receiving the assurance from Sikonghuang, Su Changkong nodded.
In case Sikonghuang still blames him for three failures in refining the Concentrating Soul Pill, then he is not willing to do this errand.
"Come with me, there is a pill furnace here, and there are materials needed for pill concocting. You are here to concoct pills."
And Sikonghuang got up and walked towards a secret room in the hall.
Su Changkong followed behind, looking at Sikonghuang's graceful back, he was thoughtful, this Sikonghuang refining the Soul Concentration Pill, called him in the middle of the night, and was still refining it in her residence, as if she didn't want to let him Outsiders know this!
In a secret room in the main hall, as Sikonghuang said, the tools for alchemy and the required medicinal materials have been prepared.
"I'm just outside, you can call me immediately if you have anything." Sikonghuang didn't bother Su Changkong to prevent him from being distracted. After taking him to the secret room, he left alone and stayed outside.
"This concentrating and protecting the heart pill seems to be very important to her. Could it be that someone is injured? I don't want outsiders to know."
Su Changkong couldn't help thinking too much, but soon he shook his head, these were none of his business, he did his duty well and made alchemy well!
Without delay, Su Changkong began to process these medicinal materials and prepare for the alchemy. The refining difficulty of this Pill of Concentrating and Protecting the Heart is higher than that of Qi and Blood Pill. There are only three medicinal materials, and Su Changkong can only concentrate fully and try his best to make it!
Time passed, and soon the time came to the early morning, and the flame in the Dan furnace was burning non-stop.
"Boom!"
There was a slight cracking sound from the Dan furnace, and a burning smell wafted from the air outlet of the Dan furnace.
"Failed..." Not surprisingly, the first batch of medicinal pills failed.
Su Changkong had never practiced the Pill of Concentrating and Protecting the Heart before, and his proficiency was not enough, and it was normal to fail.
"Did you fail?" Sikonghuang heard the movement and came over at the door of the secret room. Her face also showed a touch of disappointment, but she comforted Su Changkong, "It doesn't matter, there are still two medicinal herbs, Master Su, Tian Kuai It's bright, you go back to rest first, and come back tomorrow night to continue alchemy."
Sikonghuang didn't let Su Changkong continue, but let him go back, raise his spirits first, and keep his state at the peak, so that the success rate of alchemy will be higher.
"Yeah." Su Changkong nodded, refining this mind-boosting pill, he needed to concentrate fully, not to mention his physical strength, he was indeed very tired mentally.
"Besides, I hope Master Su won't tell others about the matter here, so that some people don't think too much." Then Sikonghuang added another sentence.
"I know." Su Changkong didn't refuse, knowing that Sikonghuang asked him to secretly refine the Soul Concentration Pill, but he didn't want too many people to know about it.
Sikonghuang then sent Su Changkong to the gate of the main hall. Su Changkong set off to return to his residence, and after a few breaths, he practiced the Turtle Breathing Technique for a few weeks before dawn.
"I'm so hungry... I'll have to find a chance to eat again later." Su Changkong got up, practiced Wu Qin Xi for a while, washed up and then went to the public kitchen for breakfast. He patted his stomach, secretly helpless.
Practicing the Giant Whale Exercise, Su Changkong's food intake has greatly increased in the past two months, and he is not even half full after eating every day.
After having breakfast in the public kitchen, the hunger finally disappeared, and Su Changkong went to work in the alchemy room as usual.
Today was supposed to be another quiet day, but it wasn’t.
"Master Su...Did you go to see Second Miss last night?"
After a while, Liu Geng also came to the alchemy room, and he seemed to mention it casually.
As soon as these words came out, Su Changkong frowned. This Liu Geng belonged to Meng Sang and was here to monitor him.
Su Changkong went to Sikonghuang's residence late last night, and was immediately spotted by Meng Sang's eyeliner, and as soon as the day came, Liu Geng mentioned this to him, which was obviously at the behest of Meng Sang.
When Gong Zheng was still there, he had warned Su Changkong about the faction of the gang leader and the deputy gang leader faction, let Su Changkong concoct alchemy well, and don't get involved in it, so as not to cause trouble.
And last night, Sikonghuang asked Su Changkong to go there. Maybe from Meng Sang's view, it was the faction of the gang leader who wanted to win over Su Changkong, so Liu Geng mentioned this to him at this time.
Su Changkong was also a little unhappy about being monitored, but he looked at Liu Geng and said, "I'm just a part-time worker, I'm an alchemist, I just want to do alchemy well."
Su Changkong's words are very clear, he doesn't want to care about the relationship and struggle between the two parties, he just wants to make alchemy quietly and doesn't want to cause any trouble.
Liu Geng smiled shyly, and did not continue to talk about it, but said: "Then let's start the furnace, there are a lot of orders today."
Originally, Su Changkong thought that he would show his attitude and would not stand in line, and this matter would be over, but what Su Changkong didn't expect was that it wasn't over yet.
The time has come to the evening, and the wind and snow is heavy tonight, which is better than last night.
"Practice the Turtle Breathing Technique for a while, and then go to Sikonghuang to make alchemy in the middle of the night."
Su Changkong was lying on the bed, cultivating diligently as usual. Cultivation has long since become a part of his life, as essential as eating and drinking.
"Um?"
Between breathing and breathing, Su Changkong was in a half-dream and half-awake state, but his perception was sharper than usual, and he couldn't hide the slightest nuisance from him. He heard the slight sound of someone jumping over the wall and the soles of his feet hitting the ground.
"Someone came to my place? Who is it?" Su Changkong was a little surprised, he stopped cultivating and pretended to sleep.
"Crack!"
But the uninvited guest climbed over the wall and entered directly towards his room, and with a push of his arm, a huge force emerged, the wooden door bolt was broken, and the closed door was suddenly opened, making a lot of movement.
A man wearing black clothes and a black scarf with only his eyes exposed appeared at the door.
"who?"
Su Changkong looked like he was awakened from his sleep, sat up, and leaned against the wall with some fear!
"Don't yell and startle other people, I can't guarantee that something will be done."
The masked man in black made a hoarse voice, obviously deliberately changing his voice, he warned Su Changkong, and swaggered into the room and sat down at the table.
"He's... the man in black who handed over to Liu Geng that night? It's from Meng Sang!"
Although this man was dressed in black and masked, his physique and the light power he just showed made Su Changkong immediately determine the identity of the other party. He was Meng Sang's subordinate and one of the warriors who burned down Xuanwu Pavilion two months ago. The person who handed over to Liu Geng and was cut off by Su Changkong.
The true identity of the other party must be a prominent figure from the giant whale gang who works for Meng Sang.
"You... Who are you? What do you want to do? This is the Giant Whale Gang!" Su Changkong looked stern, and at the same time guessed that the other party's purpose was definitely not because of the intention of the Giant Whale God.
If Meng Sang knew that the giant whale **** intended to fall into his hands, he would not have come to him now.
"Don't be nervous, I won't hurt you, I just have something to ask you."
The man in black said lightly, in his eyes, Su Changkong was just an alchemist who had studied martial arts, but at such an age he would not be able to rank among all the warriors of the Giant Whale Gang, so he could knead at will.
"You...you ask." Su Changkong calmed down, his face was full of vigilance and fear, and he flinched, thinking about what medicine the other party sold in the gourd, and would come to him at night.
The man in black stared at him: "Sikonghuang asked you to help her concoct pills, right?"
"How do you know? You're... from Meng Sang, the deputy leader?"
Su Changkong looked shocked, and seemed to be suddenly enlightened.
"You're not stupid." The man in black was not surprised that Su Changkong could guess his identity. In the giant whale gang, if you pay attention to the news, you can know that the giant whale gang is divided into two factions, and he said When Sikonghuang entrusted him with alchemy, Su Changkong could guess that it was normal.
Su Changkong then said with a look of vigilance and helplessness: "I know what happened between the deputy gang leader and the gang leader, but the second lady asked me for alchemy, and I couldn't refuse. Similarly, if the deputy gang leader asked me for alchemy, then I would definitely do my best. Do your best, this is my duty as an alchemist of the Giant Whale Gang."
Su Changkong understood that it was because Sikonghuang was quietly looking for him to make alchemy that Meng Sang sent someone to look for him, presumably to beat him, but Su Changkong didn't want to cause trouble, and directly stated that he was not recruited by Sikonghuang. It's not that he joined the faction of the gang leader. If Meng Sang asked him to help with alchemy, he would do his best.
"Okay, I didn't ask you to talk about this." The man in black interrupted, "You have to go to Sikonghuang's place in a while? I want you to help her concoct alchemy...but you will fail!"
These words made Su Changkong stunned for a moment. The meaning of the man in black was obvious. Su Changkong deliberately failed to work hard, and deliberately failed in alchemy!
"This...Isn't it compliant?" Su Changkong frowned.
"Hey! This is not to discuss with you!" The man in black smiled, and then said indifferently, "But don't worry, after helping this time, we will accept your favor here, think about it for yourself! Now the giant whale gang is in the gang. The deputy gang leader is in full swing! It's hard to say who will have the final say on this giant whale gang in the future!"
After finishing speaking, the man in black got up, his figure was like the wind, he swept out of the house, he closed the door and disappeared into the snowy night.
The man in black left, the fear and jealousy on Su Changkong's face disappeared, and his brows furrowed: "This is... it's really troublesome!"
Sikonghuang asked Su Changkong to secretly help her concoct pills, and this pill was used to heal wounds, so she or someone needed it. As a result, Meng Sang knew the news, so he wanted to make trouble and send someone to threaten Su Changkong. I want him to make a deliberate mistake when concocting alchemy, and make Sikonghuang bamboo basket empty.
If all of Su Changkong failed in alchemy, Sikonghuang might not be able to see it. Although Sikonghuang had previously promised that he would not blame him even if all failed, but if all failed, would Sikonghuang really ignore the past? Su Changkong didn't know her.
In addition, Su Changkong really listened to Meng Sang's words, making Sikonghuang unable to get the medicine he wanted, and selling Meng Sang's favor means he joined Meng Sang's faction!
This is definitely not what Su Changkong doesn't want, who just wants to quietly concoct alchemy and doesn't want to interfere in the war between the giant whale gangs.
"It's really a dilemma!" Su Changkong was helpless. Since ancient times, the centrists have not been so easy to be in. He didn't want to stand in line, but there were external factors that affected him!
With the most important things in mind, at the appointed time, in the middle of the night, Su Changkong went to Sikonghuang's residence to refine the second pot of elixir.
In his heart, he considered whether to explain to Sikonghuang what just happened, but he was quickly denied it. He told Sikonghuang, which was equivalent to completely offending Meng Sang to death!
Su Changkong made the second batch of elixir, and because of the entanglement in his heart, this batch of elixir was undoubtedly a failure.
Sikonghuang didn't blame Su Changkong, but comforted him: "Elder Su, you don't need to be under too much psychological pressure, just do your best, go back to rest first, and keep your spirits up."
To this young man who was two or three years younger than himself, Sikonghuang was very tolerant, even though this Pill of Concentration and Heart Protection was very important to her, she would not make Su Changkong look bad when he failed.
"Well, then I'll go back first." Su Changkong felt a little guilty for some reason. He felt that he was still influenced by the words of the man in black, and he didn't do his best to refine this second pot of medicine pill.
"Failure in alchemy three times in a row will not be considered as a deliberate failure by me. I asked Liu Geng to tell Meng Sang that I just wanted to be an alchemist."
Su Changkong returned to the room, he said silently in his heart.
The lesser of the two evils, although he felt a little guilty towards Sikonghuang, but in order to have some peace in the future, he decided to slack off a little bit. After all, even if he tried his best, he might not be successful the third time!
With this thought in mind, the time came to the third night.
"here we go again?"
But what made Su Changkong frown was the third night when Su Changkong was lying in bed when he heard the sound of someone jumping over the courtyard wall and landing. He immediately felt agitated, why did he come again?
After a while, the door was violently pushed open, the bolt that had just been replaced during the day broke, and a man in black appeared in the room again.
Su Changkong looked startled: "Why... are you here again?"
The man in black swaggered and sat down at the table, he smiled: "Don't be nervous, I have something to explain to you today."
"What's the matter?" Su Changkong suppressed the anger in his heart and asked.
The man in black took out a small bottle from his arms and put it on the table. He looked at Su Changkong: "Today you go to alchemy, you can use all your strength to do alchemy, try your best to ensure success, and add some ingredients to it."
"What kind of medicine is this? Poison?" Su Changkong looked astonished, but in fact it was. He was also horrified that Meng Sang was too vicious!
The Concentration and Heart Protection Pill refined by Sikonghuang is a medicinal pill for healing wounds, most of which are taken by himself or an important person, and the bottle of medicine that Meng Sang asked the man in black to bring is poisonous. .
If Su Changkong added this medicine to his alchemy, and the concocted medicinal pill was eaten by the people on Sikonghuang's side, the result could be imagined!
Su Changkong, as a person who refines medicine pills, it is too easy to use his hands and feet in the process of making medicine pills.
"What kind of medicine do you care about? Just do it!" The man in black raised his eyebrows.
