The main body of the pressure cooker is made of stainless steel, without using any difficult-to-refine spiritual materials, and the spiritual fire quickly forges it into shape.
The whole process takes only a few minutes.
All the disciples of Jijin Sect were stunned, and the same thought popped up in their minds: What a fast man!
The disciple who took over the pressure cooker was even more confused. The material and the finished product of this pot were mediocre. The only good material was the spiritual stone. The lid was a bit special, but what effect could such a small modification have
He used his cultivation to explore it and confirmed that the spiritual power in this pot was very weak, almost no different from an ordinary cooking pot.
How can such a pot replace the function of the nameless cauldron
Zhu Changyang saw the other party's suspicion and said with a smile: "This pot needs to be tightened."
After that, he took the pot to find the chef and explained his purpose.
The chef was even more incredulous after hearing this, and had the same idea as everyone else: that Wuming Yihuo must have taken the Jindan stage person an unknown amount of time to perfect, and you've made a pot with the same function in less than the time it takes to cook a meal.
Who can believe this!
Zhu Changyang didn't explain much, but asked the chef to take some beans and pork bones, put them in the pressure cooker, add water, tighten the lid, and cover it with the pendant.
“After the water boils, the plug will make a sound. At this time, you need to turn down the fire and pay special attention to safety…” Zhu Changyang emphasized safe operation while explaining the usage.
Seeing him being so serious, the people of Jijin Sect were somewhat unimpressed. In order to speed up the process, a disciple used spiritual fire to fuel the firewood, and the fire burned fiercely.
After a while, steam came out of the small hole blocked by the pendant, and then there was a slight sound of steam jets.
"Everyone be careful, you can't move the safety valve at this time." Zhu Changyang emphasized again.
Everyone was still confused. Some people could not help themselves and tried to use their skills to probe the pot. Then they stared in surprise and said, "The pot is so hot, it's almost as hot as the nameless cauldron!"
"What?" The others were surprised when they heard this, and they all released their skills to investigate this seemingly ordinary pot.
After the investigation was completed, everyone's face changed and they looked surprised.
"Oh, it's true!"
"Why is this? I saw that the cultivation methods you guys were using were just ordinary and there wasn't any magical skills. Could it be that I was wrong?"
"No need for any skills, just using some laws of nature." Zhu Changyang looked at Jie Li and said, "Jie Li, you explain the principle."
In addition to teaching Ji Jin Zong's classes these days, he also took time out to teach Jie Li some basic knowledge related to physics and chemistry, and he had just covered the section on air pressure.
Jie Li had just been watching Zhu Changyang refining the pot intently. He had already thought about the corresponding principles in his mind, and when he saw Zhu Changyang asking a question, he wanted to answer it.
Jun Shu spoke first: "I know that the boiling point of water is affected by air pressure. The higher the air pressure, the higher the boiling point."
Cleavage:
Zhu Changyang: “…”
Jun Shu was not interested in classes at all and dozed off in Ji Jin Zong's classroom every day, but every time Zhu Changyang gave a lecture to Jie Li, he would squeeze in to listen together.
Zhu Changyang had always thought that he was just having a useless competitive spirit, but he didn't expect that he actually listened to him. Judging from the fluency of his answers, he might have secretly taken notes.
Seeing Jun Shu's smug expression, Zhu Changyang hesitated to speak, and finally chose to smile and applaud, praising him enthusiastically: "Correct answer!"
The disciples of Jijin Sect were still confused.
Zhu Changyang did not hide anything and simply explained the relevant knowledge about air pressure and temperature to everyone.
Air pressure, temperature, and boiling point are phenomena that we encounter frequently in daily life and are not difficult to understand.
The disciples of Ji Jin Sect were all talented and understood quickly.
"So that's the truth. I never thought of it before."
"Hey, I've actually noticed before that the alchemy furnaces in Danzong can refine some materials faster when sealed. Also, when cooking or boiling water, it cooks faster with a lid on than without. But I just got used to it and never thought about the reason carefully."
"Yes, yes. It seems that we still need to observe more and try more in the future. Like you brothers, using what is this called... physics! Yes, it is the law of all things. You can easily make a pot comparable to the nameless cauldron, which saves you a lot of detours."
As we talked, we admired Zhu Changyang even more.
After a while, Zhu Changyang saw that it was almost done, so he removed the pressure cooker from the heat and explained how to wait safely for the air to be released, or to pour some cold water on the pot to cool it down.
In fact, it can be made into an electric pressure cooker, but spiritual power batteries are still very precious, and Ji Jin Sect does not have any, so we just made the simplest fire-burning version.
The air was finally released and Zhu Changyang opened the lid of the pot.
The chef took out a spoon, scooped up a piece of bone, and looked at it with a look of surprise: "It's cooked soft, really cooked soft!"
The beans that usually need to be soaked first were directly cooked and fell apart.
Normally, it would take a lot of time to stew the pork bones to this degree, but this pressure cooker only took a short while.
At this rate, as long as we spend more time, it shouldn't be a big problem to cook the skin, flesh and bones of the spirit beast.
Although it is not as good as the nameless pressure cooker, this pressure cooker is so easy to make and so convenient to use, what is there to complain about!
Zhu Changyang gave the pressure cooker to the chef, then took a look at Li Li and said, "You can try making it."
Jie Li nodded vigorously: "Yes, Master."
.
Soon it was the day of the midterm exam. Although Zhu Changyang did not have to take the exam, as an excellent anchor, how could he miss such a fun event? So he asked Elder Cen to be there to supervise the exam.
Elder Cen was once again moved by his eagerness to learn, and since it was just a routine test for beginners that did not involve the sect's secrets, he readily agreed.
So early that morning, Zhu Changyang brought Jun Shu and Jie Li to the trial field.
The trial field of Jijin Sect is much more luxurious than that of Baigong Sect. In addition to trial stones, there are also various monster scales, boulders, hardwoods, etc. for practical testing of magical instruments.
The disciples lined up neatly and stepped forward one by one to take the test.
The Jijin Sect's quizzes are similar to the monthly exams for junior high school students, and each exam has a designated topic. The topic for this monthly exam is weapons, so most of the items handed in are still swords, spears, and halberds.
Elder Cen placed the weapons handed in by his disciples on the trial stone. The trial stone would emit a light of corresponding grade, and a score would be obtained.
The disciple then practices with the weapon, such as felling hardwood, cutting animal hides and armor, and even splitting water and stones. Based on the effect of the weapon, Elder Cen will give the disciple a score.
The two scores are added together to form the ranking, and the top-ranked disciples can receive corresponding rewards.
It has to be said that Ji Jin Sect is worthy of being the University of Science and Technology of the cultivation world, and the level of its students is much higher than the one Zhu Changyang participated in at the Baigongmen branch of Lanxiang Technical School.
After a series of tests, the quality of each weapon basically passed the test and none of them broke on the spot.
Moreover, the light emitted by the trial stones was mostly above blue, which was close to the middle grade. Several of them also emitted red light, reaching the middle grade quality.
Blue-grade weapons need to be practiced on animal hides and hardwood, while mid-grade weapons need to be able to split animal armor and stone.
It is worth mentioning that one of the disciples refined a repeating crossbow that could fire twenty short arrows in a row. This repeating crossbow received a mid-level rating on the trial stone, and then in actual practice, the twenty short arrows shot through stones and beast armor one after another.
"That's right." Elder Cen said to the disciple, "Tell us how this short arrow can penetrate the beast armor?"
The disciple nodded and said, "The shaft of this short arrow is made of non-ash wood, and the tip is made of extremely hard tungsten wood."
Elder Cen: "These two things alone are not enough to penetrate the beast armor and the rock."
The disciple explained: "I also drew wind patterns on the arrow to increase its speed."
Another student next to him said, "Huh?" "I don't see any lines."
The disciple said, "I used Blazing Grass Dew and Gold Ink to draw it, so the wind pattern is invisible."
The others suddenly realized.
"Very good, you have learned and put it into practice." Elder Cen nodded with satisfaction, "This crossbow can be ranked as the best at the moment."
"Thank you, Elder." The disciple showed a happy expression, bowed to Elder Cen, and then withdrew.
The next person to come up was Hai Qingshan.
Hai Qingshan took out a black bead the size of a finger joint from the mustard seed bag and handed it to Elder Cen: "Elder, please take a look."
When the students saw this, they all looked puzzled and whispered to each other.
"What kind of weapon is this?"
"Are you sure it's a weapon? It looks like a pill from the Dan Sect to me."
Elder Cen asked: "What is this?"
"Oh?" Elder Cen frowned and placed the Thunder and Fire Pearl on the trial stone with some confusion.
The trial stone suddenly shone brightly, emitting a dazzling purple light.
"Okay." Elder Cen shouted, handed the Thunder Fire Pearl back to Hai Qingshan, and said impatiently, "Quick, show it to everyone."
Hai Qingshan nodded, pinched the Thunder and Fire Pearl between his two fingers, chanted a spell in his mind, and with a flick of his fingertips, the Thunder and Fire Pearl flew out and fell onto a huge rock in the distance.
The moment it came into contact with the boulder, there was a loud "boom" and the thunder and fire bead exploded.
The explosion was so powerful that it was comparable to thunder from heaven. Even from a distance, everyone could feel the vibration in the air.
The huge rocks were hit and exploded almost at the same time, turning into rubble that flew everywhere and almost hit where they were standing.
Everyone had to retreat quickly, fortunately no one was injured by the rubble.
After a while, the explosion subsided and the smoke cleared. When everyone looked again, they saw that the boulder had been completely shattered, leaving only a large pit.
No further explanation is needed, everyone understands the meaning of the name "Thunder Fire Pearl".
"Good, very good!" Elder Cen couldn't help but smile, and patted Hai Qingshan on the shoulder. "Qingshan's Thunder Fire Pearl is as effective as the Mishan Sect's Lightning Attraction Talisman. If it is put on the market, there will definitely be a lot of people who want it. I will report to the Sect Master, and the Thunder Fire Pearl will be added to the products we sell soon."
When the other disciples heard this, they all showed envy.
Being included in the public products of the Jijin Sect is not only a recognition of the work itself, but also the name of the weapon refiner will be spread, and he can also participate in the revenue sharing. This is very rare among disciples of their level.
"As expected of Qingshan, you are indeed the best!" said the disciple who had refined the repeating crossbow with emotion.
"Of course. Qingshan has the best spiritual roots among us. If he were placed in the Nine Regions, I'm afraid there wouldn't be many people who could match him."
"Recently, Shi Yun, the Marquis of Yong Zhou Tian, has been very arrogant. He even said that our new disciples of Ji Jin Sect cannot compare to them. I am really angry. When Qing Shan's Thunder Fire Pearl is released, I will definitely let them open their eyes."
"That's right."
When Elder Cen heard them talking about Yong Zhoutian, he quickly put down his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet: "Don't criticize his faction."
Then he turned to look at Hai Qingshan, "Qingshan, can you tell us how this lightning fire bead was made?"
Hai Qingshan bowed and said, "That day, when the elders and fellow Taoists mentioned the Blazing Grass Dew, I wanted to know more about it, so I went to look up some information about the Dan Sect, and happened to see a record of the Dan Sect refining gunpowder. I thought that since the Blazing Grass Dew can be used in refining tools, then I wondered if the gunpowder refined by the Dan Sect could also be tried. So I found the formula of the gunpowder, studied the ratio, and refined this Thunder Fire Pearl."
Zhu Changyang: “…”
It's you again, alchemist.
Studio:
[Shh, the gunpowder in the cultivation world was also first invented by those alchemists? ]
[To be honest, this lightning fire bead is indeed well made and much more powerful than ordinary black gunpowder. ]
The alchemist was not interested in gunpowder and only regarded it as a failed attempt at alchemy. On the contrary, the weapon refiner got inspiration from it.
This lightning fire bead, to put it bluntly, is spiritual explosives. The material is somewhat different from ordinary explosives, containing some spiritual materials, and the power is much stronger than gunpowder.
"Very good, very good. Learning from one example and applying it to other situations, and learning from others' strengths, this is the spirit that our weapon refiners should have." Elder Cen praised Hai Qingshan several more times before letting him step aside.
With the example of the Thunder and Fire Bead, the following works seemed too bland. Elder Cen continued to mark the papers according to the procedure, but the students began to lose focus frequently.
The position Hai Qingshan retreated to was right next to Zhu Changyang. He was a little embarrassed about the incident during the practice session, so he said dryly, "I heard that the pressure cooker in the kitchen was made by you, brother Zhu?"
Zhu Changyang nodded: "Yes."
"You brothers have a profound understanding of 'physics', which makes me admire you." Hai Qingshan said sincerely.
This man is also sincere and straightforward. Zhu Changyang smiled and said, "You are flattered."
Hai Qingshan paused, and then said, "Come to think of it, I have never seen you brothers forge weapons."
He said with some regret, "It's a pity that all your wonderful ideas are always used to refine these mundane things. If they can be used on weapons, they will surely be able to refine top-grade weapons that are famous in the Nine Regions..."
Zhu Changyang: “…”
I just thought Hai Qingshan was getting better, but now I'm worried about him again.
Zhu Changyang felt a headache after hearing this, and quickly waved his hand to interrupt, "You can't say that, I have actually refined weapons before."
"Really?" Hai Qingshan blinked. "How come I've never heard of it? Is that weapon still in your hand? Can you let me see it?"
He was genuinely curious. Zhu Changyang was so famous for refining weapons, and everything he had refined before was very famous. Ordinarily, weapons were what the cultivation world paid the most attention to. If Zhu Changyang had really refined weapons, how could there be no news at all
Could it be that Zhu Changyang was not good at refining weapons, so the weapons he refined were mediocre
Zhu Changyang coughed lightly and said, "You have seen that weapon before."
Hai Qingshan was even more confused: "Really? Why don't I have any impression of it?"
Zhu Changyang smiled slightly: "It's a pressure cooker."
"?" Hai Qingshan was silent for a moment, then said angrily, "Brothers, if you haven't practiced it, just say so. Why are you making fun of me?"
"Hey, I'm serious." Zhu Changyang originally just wanted to tease Hai Qingshan, but he didn't expect him to be so serious. Seeing that he looked like he was about to get angry, he had no choice but to say, "How about I demonstrate it to you?"
Hai Qingshan frowned: "Are you kidding?"
"Really not." Zhu Changyang held his forehead with his hand. He saw that Elder Cen had just finished the last test paper, so he waved his hand and said, "Elder Cen, can you lend me the venue? I'll show Brother Qingshan a weapon."
"Oh, you have also refined weapons?" Elder Cen's eyes lit up, "Then I have to see it too."
Seeing that Zhu Changyang was really going to demonstrate, Hai Qingshan was stunned: "Are you serious?"
"Of course it can be fake." Zhu Changyang glanced at his apprentice and said, "Jie Li, have you finished the pressure cooker I asked you to make?"
"It's done." Jie Li quickly took out a pressure cooker from the mustard bag and handed it over, but his expression didn't understand much more than Hai Qingshan's.
The others were very excited when they heard that Zhu Changyang was also going to try out weapons, but they didn't expect him to take out a pressure cooker. Question marks immediately popped up in their minds.
Are you kidding us
Zhu Changyang remained calm, turned to Hai Qingshan, and said, "Brother Qingshan, do you still have the materials for refining the Thunder Fire Pearl? Can you lend me some?"
In fact, it is possible to do without explosives, but the effect will not be very good.
Hai Qingshan didn't understand, but he still took out a few materials and said, "Is it enough? If not, I'll get you some more."
"Enough." Zhu Changyang looked at the materials and found that there was gunpowder, so he picked it out. As for the spiritual power materials, he did not take any of them.
Hai Qingshan became more and more suspicious: "Is this what you want?"
Although the gunpowder refined by the Dan Sect can produce explosions, its power is very limited. It still has some uses in the mortal realm, such as making firecrackers.
Hai Qingshan's Thunder and Fire Pearl was made by adding spiritual materials to gunpowder and refining it with cultivation to produce such an effect.
What could Zhu Changyang do with the gunpowder at this time
"Enough." Zhu Changyang smiled slightly, processed the gunpowder a little, and then put it all into the pressure cooker, covered the pot, and blocked the steam outlet.
After doing all this, he threw the pressure cooker towards a pile of spiritual wood in the distance, and at the same time, he made hand gestures and injected spiritual power into it until the gunpowder inside was ignited.
Everyone was even more confused: What is this for
Elder Cen couldn't help but ask: "Young friend, what are you doing...?"
Before he could finish his words, a loud "bang" was heard in the distance. The pressure cooker suddenly exploded, instantly blowing away the spiritual wood next to it.
Elder Cen:
Others:
Studio:
[… … Depend on]
[I thought Chang Yang would make a bomb sooner or later, but I didn’t expect that the first thing he would make would be a pressure cooker bomb…]
[Zhu Changyang has successfully awakened my fear of pressure cookers again! I will really thank you! ]
