Thanks to the cute owner who rewarded me with braised quail eggs. Don’t treat me like a human being tonight, you are my god of war.

"Sorry, I didn't think well."
Bai Yueling took the volcanic stone from his hand and gently broke it with two fingers. The cross-section of the volcanic stone was as smooth and flat as a mirror.
Jiang Qiao was dumbfounded. He was indeed a fairy. The words "invincible in the world" were not just words. With just one hand, it would be no problem to hit him with a hundred lightning bolts and five consecutive whips.
He decided to be nicer to her in the future. After all, flesh and blood were not as hard as stone. If she had missed that time, she might have been disabled for life.
As Fairy Bai crushed it with her fingers, the powder as fine as sand fell from her palm. Jiang Qiao tugged at the corners of his eyes, wondering if this woman's hand strength was a little too abnormal.
"This is almost half a tael of volcanic stone powder." She said calmly.
Jiang Qiao nodded, then ran downstairs and picked up an electronic scale. The weight of all medicinal materials was accurate to the gram.
Putting the medicinal materials on the screen will directly give the weight. After reading it, Bai Yueling couldn't help but nodded secretly. These mortal utensils are very simple and practical. What changes everything is the omnipotent science.
"The medicinal materials are ready, what's next?"
"Put Yang Ganoderma and Qingling Bamboo Shoot into the furnace first, smolder over low fire for a quarter of an hour until the medicinal liquid is boiled out, then add wolfberry, red dates, Houttuynia Cordata, calcine over high fire until they become ashes, and finally add in Little Tai Sui and volcanic stone powder. Bake it over medium heat for an hour. If the aroma of red pepper wafts out during the process, it will be quickly changed to high heat to simmer it. Finally, the congealed pills will be round and yellow, with a bitter taste and the ability to condense Qi."
Jiang Qiao saw that what she said was true, but the problem came, what if there is no alchemy furnace
"I have a pressure cooker, a rice cooker, an electric hot pot, a wok, a casserole, and an air fryer at home. Which pot do you want?" He pointed at the cooking utensils in the kitchen and introduced them one by one.
Bai Yueling frowned slightly. There were all kinds of kitchen utensils. To be honest, none of them looked like an alchemy furnace. A qualified alchemy furnace had flues, water channels, a feeding entrance, a residue discharge outlet, etc.
At the moment, it seems that only the pressure cooker is somewhat similar.
"That's it." She pointed to the pressure cooker.
"you sure?"
Jiang Qiao looked suspicious. He had never heard that a pressure cooker had the function of making alchemy.
Bai Yueling hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Jiang Qiao finally washed the pressure cooker that had not been used for a long time, and then put the medicinal ingredients into the pot one at a time in order. Before closing the lid, he asked: "Are you adding water?"
"Don't add it. The elixir is the concentrated essence of medicinal materials. Adding water is useless."
Jiang Qiao became more and more doubtful whether the pressure cooker could really make medicine. If water was not added, would it really not be burned into coke if it was heated by a fire
However, looking at how confident she is...
Well, you should be right to listen to the fairy.
Cover, put on the stove, ignite the fire, and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
"Is this a small fire?" Jiang Qiao asked her after turning the knob to the minimum.
"Not bad, a very convenient fire control weapon."
Fairy Bai once again marveled at the magic of scientific equipment, which could even perfectly control the temperature of the flame.
Many monks who have just entered the immortal path are refining elixirs for the first time. Either they do not have enough spiritual power to support the elixirs, or they do not control the fire well, resulting in the failure of refining elixirs.
She thought of the industrialized assembly line production that Jiang Qiao had mentioned before. If they had enough raw materials and knew the entire alchemy process, wouldn't it mean that mortals here could continuously refine alchemy
Cultivating immortal masters in batches is indeed a civilization that cannot be underestimated!
Jiang Qiao stared at the pressure cooker. Although he had the fairy's endorsement, he was still worried that the pressure cooker would explode.
Time passed by, and the pressure valve of the pressure cooker didn't even emit any steam, but there was no mushy smell either.
"Didi!"
Classmate Xiao Ai accurately tells the time.
"Fifteen minutes are up!"
Jiang Qiao was shocked and quickly opened the pressure cooker. A gas with an unknown smell instantly came out and filled the entire kitchen.
The liquid medicine was not visible, but the parts of the Ganoderma lucidum and green bamboo shoots that were in contact with the bottom of the pot had a tendency to carbonize. The white outline was probably the liquid medicine, but it has been burned dry now.
"Where's the medicine?"
Jiang Qiao turned to look at her expressionlessly.
Bai Yueling was slightly embarrassed, why was this first step different from what she described.
After pondering for a moment, she said slowly: "It may be that the temperature is not up to standard and the medicinal liquid has not been completely tempered."
Jiang Qiao almost believed her. It was obviously the liquid that had been evaporated, right
"You really don't want to add water?"
"No more." She insisted.
"I have practiced Taoism for thousands of years and have made countless pills. Even the nine-turn elixir has been produced several times. Besides, this is just a low-grade pill. You believe me."
"So now we go directly to the second stage?"
"yes."
He gritted his teeth and threw the wolfberry, red dates, and Houttuynia cordata into the pressure cooker. It needed to be simmered on medium heat for two hours. As for the final fire, he was not sure whether his pressure cooker could survive until that time.
Half an hour later, a burnt smell came from the pressure cooker.
"The fragrance of elixirs is overflowing?" Jiang Qiao sat on the sofa and stared at Bai Yueling with an increasingly unkind expression.
How crazy is his brain to think that a pressure cooker can really make elixirs? This woman is just crazy on her own, but he actually goes crazy with her.
"Maybe... maybe the aroma of this elixir is a bit special?"
Fairy Bai, who has been refining elixirs all her life, is also a little unsure: "How about we wait a little longer?"
Jiang Qiao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, but thinking of her true identity, he couldn't help nodding after all.
"Then just wait."
An hour later, black smoke began to emit from the pressure cooker, and an indescribable smell filled the entire room. The smell of burnt paste mixed with the stench was like a biological weapon.
At this point, even a fool can see that the alchemy has failed.
If Jiang Qiao believes that a pressure cooker can produce elixir, he is a dog!
He ran into the kitchen in a flash, turned off the heat immediately, opened all doors, windows, and the range hood, and then slowly poured water on the pressure cooker. After it cooled down, he slowly opened the lid.
A stream of unpleasant-smelling black smoke came out instantly, smelling worse than cat feces.
Bai Xianzi held her breath and covered her face. After the black smoke dispersed, Jiang Qiao looked at the several herbs at the bottom of the pot that had completely turned into coal, with a speechless expression.
"The dignified Immortal Emperor failed to refine even inferior elixirs. I believe you even when you say they are poisons."
Bai Yueling's breath froze.
Although the operation procedures were all correct, she couldn't figure out what went wrong. It seemed like something was wrong from the beginning.
"Alchemy is a process of continuous improvement. A temporary failure doesn't mean anything. I think we can try again." She said righteously.
"Again?"
Jiang Qiao seemed to be frightened.
"If you want to come, do it yourself, I won't play any more!"
If he kept playing, he was afraid that the kitchen would explode.
Bai Yueling curled her lips and walked into the kitchen alone. She had already memorized the method of using the natural gas stove in her mind.
Refining an elixir is currently the only way she can suppress her inner demons. If she really can't make an elixir, she will have to rely on Jiang Qiao in the end.
