C275 win over the hearts of the people

Inside the wooden house, the air was filled with a faint warmth.

In front of the furnace, Han Chen was controlling the fire and refining the pills inside the furnace. The youth's handsome face was filled with solemnity and attention. Despite the sweat on his forehead, he did not wipe it away.

"Increase the intensity of the fire." Cang Jie said faintly.

Han Chen nodded, with a thought, the flames below the cauldron started to rise. In the next moment, a pungent smell of burnt flesh came out from the cauldron.

"What is that thing?" "Kid, is your brain made of wood?" Cang Jie immediately became so angry that his eyes became red as he pointed at Han Chen and loudly shouted, "How many times have I told you? Your flames are too overbearing and can't be increased too much. This is the second batch of ingredients you've destroyed. "If you continue to destroy it, you won't be able to concoct this Great Body Tempering Pill."

Being scolded like that, Han Chen felt a little embarrassed. He rubbed his nose and said, "Senior, come again, I will definitely pay attention this third time."

"Hmph, three times?" Cang Jie glared at him in annoyance, muttering to himself, "The third time you were able to concoct a Great Body Tempering Pill, this old man will kneel down and call you master."

This Great Body Tempering Pill was one of the hardest pills to refine in a grade one medicinal pill, even for those geniuses with extremely good talent in alchemy. At the very least, he would have to experience close to ten failures before he could master it.

Cang Jie also knew that letting Han Chen to finish refining the pellet in such a short period of time was indeed too difficult for him. As for swearing, that was part of the Pharmacist's nature. Seeing that his juniors were not performing well, who cares if he was thirty-seven or thirty-one? Let's just scold him first.

Han Chen didn't know what Cang Jie was thinking, and only thought that it was all his own fault. He then began to focus on the furnace, placing the herbs and refining the pills. Every step he took was exceptionally careful, and every action he made was extremely serious.

Cang Jie, who was at the side, nodded silently, his eyes showing a trace of admiration. Not arrogant, not impatient, not angry, not discouraged. Only by maintaining a calm mind could one become a qualified alchemist.

In the blink of an eye, six hours had passed. Han Chen controlled and transformed the fire many times, concentrating his spirit power at a high level. The faint fragrance of medicinal pills was floating in the air.

Cangjie, who was watching from the side, was dumbstruck. His face was full of shock and astonishment. It was only his third try, and Han Chen was already able to do it to such an extent, he couldn't help but have a whole new level of respect for him.

"Good boy, this is a pretty good step to take. As for the final step, he had to control it with his mental strength. I want to see if you can complete it. " Cangjie softly murmured. He let out a light sigh of relief, leaned against the wall behind him, and gradually dozed off.

A day passed by quickly.

"Gather!" Han Chen secretly shouted, Bang! A muffled sound rang out. Cang Jie, who was still sleeping, was suddenly awakened. Before he could fully understand what had happened, he was immediately attracted by the rich medicinal fragrance in the air.

"This?"

Han Chen who was seated beside the cauldron gasped for air, his chest rising up and down violently. Bean-sized perspiration continuously dripped, but Han Chen's face was still filled with an incomparably excited smile.

Han Chen slowly stood up, walked to the side of the cauldron and lifted the lid. Inside the cauldron were many brown colored pills that were round and smooth, about the size of a longan.

"Senior Cangjie, there's a total of 19 Grand Body Tempering Pills."

Cangjie's body could not help but tremble. He quickly got up from the ground and walked unsteadily towards the cauldron. When he saw the Great Body Refinement Pellet, his old face couldn't help but twitch a few times. Xiao Yan's shriveled lips trembled as he spat out a few words.

"It really is a Great Body Tempering Pill. Kid, how did you do it?"

"Hmm?" Han Chen was stunned at first, but quickly replied, "Is there something wrong? I did it in accordance to what senior taught me! "

"Yes, yes, that's right." Cangjie heaved a deep sigh of relief, his face full of complex emotions.

Thinking back to when he had first learned alchemy, not to mention refining the Great Body Refinement Pellets, he had even failed countless times to refine those ordinary body tempering pellets that had not even reached the tier. As for the young man in front of him, he had only used it three times. With such monstrous talent, it was impossible for Cang Jie not to be shocked.

Han Chen did not try to guess at Cang Jie's thoughts. He looked at the pill that was emitting a fragrant scent one by one within the cauldron, and his heart was filled with pride and joy. "Oh right, Senior, after these two days of refining pills, my mental strength seems to have increased a lot."

"Of course." Cangjie replied, "You will be able to experience the benefits of refining pills in the future."

"Yes." Han Chen nodded, after pondering for a moment, he said, "Senior, with these nineteen Great Body Tempering Pills, I can first proceed with the first step of my escape plan."

"Oh? What's the first step? "

"To win over the hearts of others."

Han Chen said goodbye to Cangjie first, then left the hut. Outside, it was already afternoon. Just as he walked out, he met Zhang Tao.

"Master Han Chen, you came out."

"Mn, where is Ding Lang? Tell me to come over and see me. "

"Reporting to the lord, Ding Lang has gone to hand in the spirit crystal. Today is the seventh day, so the higher ups have come to collect spirit crystals and distribute food. " Zhang Tao answered.

Han Chen frowned, this was the seventh day. Time passed by really quickly. Unknowingly, this had happened. It was no wonder that people here were dispirited. Other than working, they didn't know anything else. If things continued like this, it would be strange if there were no problems.

Just as they were talking, Ding Lang had returned, followed by a group of brothers who were carrying food over. Seeing Han Chen, Ding Lang hurriedly walked over with a giggle.

"Hehe, look, I got the most food this time."

Han Chen laughed, "Alright, you let them bring the food back, you go run over there. Call Scarface, Gou Lao Si and the Gan Yi siblings over. "

"Why are you looking for them?"

"Don't mind it so much, just find me."

"Alright!" Ding Lang did not hesitate as he turned and headed towards the three mining areas.

An hour later, in a simple but spacious room. In the middle of the room was a simple table. Scarface, Gou Lao Si, Zhang Tao, Liao Yang and more than a dozen people from the mining site gathered together. The people from the three mining areas had all come, but the people from the east mining area was nowhere to be seen.

"Chief, that Gan Yi is unwilling to come." Ding Lang said somewhat indignantly.

"It's fine, he'll come sooner or later." Han Chen replied indifferently.

Scarface and Old Gou looked at each other, slightly confused as to what Han Chen was up to. The latter faked a slight cough and said, "Boss Han Chen, why have you called us here? If there's nothing else, we'll have to go first. I just finished paying the spirit crystal today, so I need to hurry up and work. Otherwise, my brothers will starve the next time I come. "

"That's right. If you have anything to say, just say it earlier."

Looking at the two people's dissatisfied expressions, Han Chen smiled lightly and said, "Regarding the spirit crystals, you two don't have to be worried anymore. "How many spirit crystals do you need? I will provide them to you in the future."

"What?" Once those words were said, everyone present was stunned. The scarred face and Gou Hanshi's eyes were filled with a deep sense of disbelief. The latter replied in a low voice, "Han Chen, don't lie to us like that."

"Fuck you, will our leader lie to you?" Ding Lang immediately reprimanded.

Han Chen waved his hand, signalling for the other party to withdraw. "I said, if you are willing to cooperate with me, there will be a day when you will go out."

After hearing this, not only were the other two mining site's people stunned. Even Ding Lang, Zhang Tao and the rest of the people in the northern region had their expressions change.

"Heh." Old Gou laughed contemptuously. "On what basis are you able to say such words?"

"Hehe, it's up to you whether you believe me or not. Even if I am to leave now, no one can stop me. " With that said, a pair of golden light wings suddenly expanded from Han Chen's back. With a flutter of the light wings, Han Chen's body immediately separated from the ground and flew into the air.

Everyone present was shocked and their eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets.

Han Chen continued, "The reason I'm still here, is only to help you. I want to take you guys away and escape this place. "

The atmosphere suddenly froze, Han Chen's actions proved that he was not lying.

Scarface clenched his fists and asked with a trembling voice, "What do we need to do?"

Han Chen's figure moved, returning to the ground. The wings of light behind him were withdrawn, and everyone's expression became more and more amazed. Especially Zhang Tao and Liao Yang, they were overjoyed. Initially, when she heard what Han Chen said, it was indeed a wise choice.

"I have nineteen Great Body Tempering Pills." "Han Chen's palm moved, and nineteen brown pellets floated above his hand. Take these pills and increase your strength first. These few days, I will do my best to provide the others with large scale Body Refinement Pellets. "

Hearing the words "Great Body Tempering Pill", the eyes of Ding Lang, Gou Lao Si, Scar Face and the others lit up. All of them could not help but swallow their saliva.

"B-big Body Refinement Pellet, a grade one pellet." "Boss, are you really willing to share with us?" Ding Lang asked in disbelief.

Han Chen laughed, casually waved his hand, and a dozen Body Refinement Pellets fell on the table. "One for each person, I will make up for those who don't get one in a few days."

Only now did everyone believe that such a good thing would fall to them. One by one, they rushed forward to snatch the pills. It wasn't until he put the pill in his hand that he realized what had really happened.

"This?" After the scarred face received the Great Body Refinement Pellet, his hands began to tremble. When she looked at Han Chen again, there was already an additional kind of indescribable admiration in her eyes.

"Han Chen, you."

"No need for further words, regarding the Spirit Crystals, Ding Lang will tell you guys what to do." You must increase your strength as soon as possible, but the matter of the Great Body Refinement Pellet must be kept a secret. We have to take the soldiers outside by surprise and strike them head-on. " A sharp domineering aura flashed in Han Chen's eyes.
