Chapter 548: Alchemical Furnace
Yang Haoran's conclusion gave Feng Xiao a sense of reassurance. Feng Xiao, who was already inclined to accept, agreed to Yang Haoran's invitation and decided to leave the valley with him.
That Feng Xiao agreed to his invitation was something Yang Haoran had anticipated, but even though his face didn't show it, he was extremely happy and even excited to actually hear Feng Xiao's agreement.
What an Alchemist means to a team, Feng Xiao may not understand, but Yang Haoran certainly does. Being able to obtain the assistance of an Alchemist is indeed something worth getting excited about.
In order to leave a good impression on Feng Xiao, Yang Haoran did not touch any of Feng Yaoshi's relics, even though he knew that among them there must be various medicinal ingredients that he needed.
However, in order to establish a good image in Feng Xiao's eyes, he decisively gave up on these things.
But since Feng Xiao's current strength has not yet reached the level of opening an independent space, at her request, these items were eventually stored in Yang Haoran's independent space.
In addition to Feng Yaoshi's relics, Feng Xiao also had some of her own things, most of which were related to alchemy. Feng Xiao sorted and packed these items, and also asked Yang Haoran to store them in his independent space.
Feng Xiao and Feng Yaoshi's living here was not extravagant, with the vast majority of their belongings related to alchemy, and only a few personal items and daily necessities unrelated to alchemy.
Regardless of what it was, even if it was just a pot or a bowl, as long as Feng Xiao decided to take it, Yang Haoran did not hesitate and stored everything in his independent space.
There were also some of Feng Yaoshi's relics in the small house, but not many. These relics, Feng Xiao also packed and classified them all, not leaving a single one behind, deciding to take them all.
Since the master and disciple's belongings were not much, it did not take much time, and Feng Xiao had Yang Haoran store all the items she wanted to take away in his independent space.
When Feng Xiao was about to leave the house, Yang Haoran called her and pointed to the central hall of the small house, asking, "Aren't you taking this thing?"
The small house, though small, had a central hall, with a room on each side, one for Feng Xiao and one for her master. The kitchen was in a shed outside the house.
And what Yang Haoran was pointing to in the central hall was a rather peculiar-looking cauldron furnace.
Although Yang Haoran was not an Alchemist, he had seen this cauldron furnace in books, it is a must-have for Alchemists to refine elixirs, and is called an "alchemical furnace" in the circle.
The alchemical furnace used by Alchemists is different from Yang Haoran's soul-refinement cauldron. The soul-refinement cauldron is a cauldron, small in size, without a lid. While this alchemical furnace is a furnace, with a lid.
Of course, not all cauldrons are small in size, it's just that Yang Haoran's soul-refinement cauldron is very small.
Compared to Yang Haoran's soul-refinement cauldron, the alchemical furnace in front of him is much larger, about two meters tall, round and bulky, obviously not light in weight.
Yang Haoran saw that Feng Xiao had packed up the dilapidated pots and pans to take away, but did not touch this alchemical furnace, so he was very puzzled and couldn't help but ask.
"Aside from the medicinal garden, this alchemical furnace was my master's most beloved possession. If I take it away, I'm afraid my master will be very saddened," Feng Xiao replied.
Yang Haoran was a bit speechless, your master's soul has already scattered, how could he still be happy or sad, but he couldn't say that directly, so Yang Haoran changed his approach to persuade Feng Xiao.
"Do you have an alchemical furnace?" Yang Haoran asked.
In fact, even without asking, Yang Haoran already knew the answer in his heart. He asked the question just to set the stage.
Feng Xiao shook his head and then said, "The alchemical furnace is very precious. It's not a simple matter to have a suitable alchemical furnace. I don't have an alchemical furnace right now, and I usually refine elixirs using my master's alchemical furnace."
"Since you don't have an alchemical furnace, how will you refine elixirs in the future? Of course, I will definitely use all means to help you find an alchemical furnace, but this process will take time, and I can't guarantee how long it will take. During this period, how will you refine elixirs?"
"This..." Feng Xiao looked troubled and didn't know how to answer Yang Haoran.
Seeing this, Yang Haoran continued, "You just said that the alchemical furnace is precious. If you leave the alchemical furnace here, do you think it will always stay with your master? If someone breaks in here, do you think they will leave the alchemical furnace behind to keep your master company, or will they take it away?"
"They will definitely take the alchemical furnace away!" Feng Xiao thought for a moment and gave a definite answer.
"Since you know they will definitely take the alchemical furnace away, why are you still leaving it here? Are you providing your master with a companion, or are you just warming the hearts of the future thieves?" Yang Haoran asked.
"Big brother, you're right. I must take the alchemical furnace with me, so that it won't be desecrated by the thieves who come later."
Saying this, Feng Xiao looked towards the location of the medicinal garden and continued, "Originally, I didn't plan to take the medicinal herbs growing in the medicinal garden, but now that you've said this, I think it's better to take them all. Otherwise, not only will the herbs in the medicinal garden be dug up, but even my master's grave might be trampled on."
Hearing Feng Xiao's words, a smile appeared on Yang Haoran's face.
"You're very smart, and you can think deeply. If your master heard your words, he would be deeply gratified." Yang Haoran praised.
Being praised by Yang Haoran, Feng Xiao felt a bit embarrassed.
"Big brother, don't tease me. My master often scolds me for being stupid. I'm really not smart at all," Feng Xiao said awkwardly.
"No, your master's words were probably just reverse psychology, meant to spur you on." Saying this, Yang Haoran pointed to the alchemical furnace in the center of the hall and asked, "Shall I put away this alchemical furnace?"
After Feng Xiao nodded in agreement, Yang Haoran waved his hand and stored the alchemical furnace in his independent space.
Next, Feng Xiao picked up a hoe and went to the medicinal garden, carefully digging out all the medicinal herbs. To ensure the herbs were not damaged, Feng Xiao's movements were very gentle and meticulous. This was a delicate task that required great care. Yang Haoran had the strength, but he didn't understand the medicinal herbs. If he had picked up the hoe and started digging wildly, these herbs might have suffered varying degrees of damage. Therefore, he didn't interfere, and the entire process was done by Feng Xiao, with Yang Haoran only responsible for storing the herbs Feng Xiao dug up in his independent space.
One by one, the medicinal herbs in the medicinal garden were dug out by Feng Xiao and stored in Yang Haoran's independent space. As the herbs in the medicinal garden became fewer, the herbs in Yang Haoran's independent space became more and more.
After the last herb was carefully dug out by Feng Xiao, she sat on the ground, sweating profusely and panting heavily, clearly exhausted. T#hi.s is a s&l#e^ f@rom My V&i-rtu-a$l Li&br%a+r!y& Em$p$ir^e@.^ Read the r*e$s$t@ on [email protected]*YR.
Yang Haoran didn't rush her. After storing the last herb, he sat down next to Feng Xiao, ready to give her some time to rest.
To avoid an awkward silence, Yang Haoran found a topic to chat with Feng Xiao.
"Previously, your master had a deadly poison on him, and you had direct contact with him, but you didn't use any power. How come the poison didn't affect you? Are you immune to poisons?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.
Feng Xiao took a few deep breaths, then used the sleeve of her robe to wipe the sweat from her face, and then responded to Yang Haoran's question.
"I wouldn't say I'm immune to poisons, but generally, deadly poisons don't have much effect on me. Moreover, I've almost taken all the poisons and toxic pills my master has refined, so I've built up resistance to this type of deadly poison. In normal circumstances, they won't harm me," Feng Xiao replied.
Hearing this, Yang Haoran was somewhat surprised. Although Feng Xiao's power fluctuations were not strong, it seemed her resistance to poisons was quite high.
"In my eyes, this already makes you practically immune to poisons. That's really impressive," Yang Haoran said with a smile.
Feng Xiao shook her head and said, "But I don't think it's that useful."
"Whether it's useful or not depends on the situation, and how you understand it. By the way, your master's mountain valley has been exposed for a long time, and many people know about it. Why doesn't he take you and move to another place to live?" Yang Haoran asked.
Feng Xiao shook her head again and said, "I don't know. My master has never told me about these things."
Hearing this, a look of confusion flashed across Yang Haoran's face, and he fell into deep thought.
