Regarding business matters, neither Xiang Nan nor Bai Muchen from his previous life are very proficient.
Therefore, although the elders were filled with righteous indignation, Xiang Nan had no choice but to listen from the sidelines.
"Xiao Nan." Xiang Shaohua suddenly turned his head to look at Xiang Nan, and said, "The city lord thinks highly of you, see if you can... Let the city lord talk to you?"
"This time is the only chance for my Xiang family to rise. If I can't win the deeds and title deeds of those shops, my Xiang family will..."
"Okay, I'll discuss it with the city lord tomorrow." Xiang Nan knew that the matter was important, so he had to do so.
After getting Xiang Nan's answer, the elders of the family relaxed a lot. At this moment, no one dared to make things difficult for Xiang Nan.
It can also be said that the Xiang family now relies on Xiang Nan alone.
"Okay, let's go here, Xiao Nan stays, and the others go back." Xiang Zhanxiong waved his hand, leaving Xiang Nan alone.
After everyone had left, Xiang Zhanxiong lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Nan, your martial arts level has improved by leaps and bounds recently. What's going on?"
Xiang Nan knew that this matter would definitely not be kept secret, so he was mentally prepared and said, "Grandpa, actually...someone secretly helped Xiao Nan."
"Oh?" Xiang Zhanxiong said in surprise: "So, that person secretly taught you the exercises and taught you how to practice? Who is that person?"
Xiang Nan shook his head: "It's an old man, but Xiao Nan doesn't know his name, and he didn't accept Xiao Nan as his apprentice."
"It's just that the old man said that he valued my talent, so he should train me first. If I can be promising, he will consider accepting me."
Xiang Zhanxiong had a happy face. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The strength and fighting skills you have shown recently made even my grandfather feel ashamed. I guessed that there must be someone behind you to help you."
"That's the case, you have to practice hard, don't waste the kindness of others."
Xiang Nan said respectfully, "Xiao Nan understands."
Xiang Zhanxiong nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry about family affairs, just concentrate on training. You must be selected in Martial Dao City and give the old man a satisfactory answer."
"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded in agreement.
Early the next morning, Xiang Nan brought enough materials and pill furnace, and rushed to the back mountain to refine the second-grade stone skin pill.
But before that, he still sent a letter to City Lord Hong Zhen, expressing the Xiang family's request for help.
The signaling order is a very expensive communication tool. It is a token filled with vitality, and after it is sent out, it can directly fly to the city lord's mansion.
back mountain.
Xiang Nan set up the alchemy furnace, and placed all the spiritual herbs needed to refine the stone skin pill in front of the alchemy furnace.
Alchemist is an extremely noble profession in this world. Their martial arts strength may not be very strong, but their status is extremely high.
Just like ordinary mortals, no matter how rich and powerful they are, you will find a doctor one day, and warriors will definitely find an alchemist.
And alchemy is a profound and unpredictable knowledge, which only depends on talent, not hard work.
If you don't have talent, even if you work hard all your life, it is absolutely impossible to become even the most basic alchemist.
In his previous life, Xiang Nan was an apprentice candidate that countless alchemists would snap up. He did learn some high-end alchemy techniques, but he focused more on martial arts.
"I've lost the five meridians of the Heavenly Spirit. I don't know if I still have the talent for alchemy in this life." Xiang Nan took three deep breaths in front of the alchemy furnace.
To be honest, he is really not sure whether he can make alchemy in this life.
The second-grade elixir, Shifu Dan, is complicated and complicated, and simple and simple, it depends on who is refining it.
"The blending of medicinal materials is only the most superficial knowledge." Xiang Nan was talking to himself while throwing various spirit herbs into the pill furnace.
Immediately afterwards, he took a deep breath, and the air in his body transferred to his right hand, and he slapped the outer wall of the alchemy furnace with his palm.
That palm slapped on the outer wall of the alchemy furnace, and the innate energy contained in the palm immediately poured into the alchemy furnace!
Almost at the same time, under the pill furnace, the fire rose!
The temperature of the furnace fire quickly penetrated the outer wall and entered the interior, and the temperature was swept by the previous weather, and began to wander inside the alchemy furnace, preheating the spirit grass first.
Alchemy needs to consider the things of an alchemist, there are too many things.
As small as the strength of the fire, the speed of fire, the timing of opening the furnace, as large as the alchemist's perception of the changes in the properties of the medicine, every detail of the reaction of the spirit grass under the high temperature roasting must be taken into account.
If you want to write this knowledge, I am afraid that more than a dozen thick books will not fit it.
But at this time, Xiang Nan's expression became more and more ugly.
He has a super innate ability to control the weather, and the precision of that strength can be said to be rare in the world.
But here's the trouble...
"Damn it!" Xiang Nan frowned, and said, "I can't feel the change in the properties of the medicine anymore!"
The wood talent is a great help in alchemy. It allows Xiang Nan to feel the changes in the temperature of each spiritual grass at any time.
But in this life, he has lost the five elements innate attributes. Although the heat can be controlled to perfection, he can't feel the medicinal properties inside the spirit grass, and he can't feel the changes of the spirit grass under the temperature.
Without this kind of perception, wanting to make alchemy is just a dream.
Xiang Nan was able to control the heat at this time, but he didn't know what happened to those spirit herbs.
"No, if you continue to practice blindly, all the spirit herbs will be destroyed." Xiang Nan felt sweat on his forehead, it was a pity that the spirit herbs were destroyed, but it was a pity that he had lost his talent for alchemy.
Just before he had no choice but to give up, he suddenly had an idea, and suddenly transformed the congenital air that swept through the temperature of the furnace into lightning power.
The god-level thunder pulse talent allowed Xiang Nan to control the power of thunder and lightning to absolute perfection!
Waves of lightning force swept through the high temperature and quickly interspersed among the plants of spirit grass. The next moment, a miracle happened!
Those lightning forces actually directly penetrated the spirit grass, dialysis to the most basic components of the spirit grass!
Xiang Nan turned pale with shock, and lost his voice: "This...I actually..."
The power of thunder and lightning penetrated the spirit grass, allowing Xiang Nan to understand the most detailed changes in the spirit grass. The level of detail was even down to the molecular level!
Not only did he not lose his talent for alchemy, but he became even stronger! His ability to perceive changes in spirit grass is simply unprecedented!
Xiang Nan felt everything in the alchemy furnace inconceivably, it was clear, thorough, precise and perfect!
After the spirit grass was preheated, Xiang Nan immediately strengthened the power of lightning and quenched the furnace to a higher temperature!
After a full hour, Xiang Nan slapped the outer wall of the alchemy furnace heavily with his palm, and the top cover of the alchemy furnace opened immediately.
Whoosh, whoosh, three pills rushed out, and Xiang Nan grabbed them in his hand.
In the palm of his hand, there were three khaki-colored pills rolling, and Xiang Nan took a breath.
The second-grade Stone Skin Pill was successful, without wasting any of its medicinal properties, and it has been cultivated to three!
Each grade of pill is divided into four grades, which are low grade, middle grade, high grade, and top grade.
And the second-grade stone skin pills refined by Xiang Nan are all the best of the second-grade, the best of the best!
