The reason why these pills attracted Fang Lin's attention was because of the smell they gave off.
Normal elixirs will basically emit various different elixir fragrances, some strong, some light, and some pungent.
The smell emitted by the elixir can largely reflect the quality of the elixir.
As for these elixirs, the smell they emit is very strange. It is not like a normal elixir at all, and it cannot even be called an elixir at all. It is a smell that makes people feel disgusted.
Although there are many medicinal materials in this alchemy room, the various smells are mixed together, making it difficult for ordinary people to identify them.
However, Fang Lin was an alchemist, and his nose was sharper than any alchemist. He could catch the smell of these pills with just a slight sniff.
"Senior Gongsun, did you refine these pills?" Fang Lin pointed at the pills and asked.
Gongsun Mo snorted and frowned: "These pills were indeed refined by me, but I don't know what went wrong. Although the pills were refined, their medicinal properties were very weak and the taste was strange. "
Fang Lin walked closer, took these pills in his hands, and looked at them carefully.
There were seven pills in total, and Fang Lin recognized them all, but as Gongsun Mo said, the quality of these seven pills was very poor, and the smell was also very bad.
According to common sense, Gongsun Mo is already at the level of an alchemy master, and it is impossible for him to refine such a bad elixir.
Gongsun Mo himself couldn't figure it out at all. He tried many times and found that the problem was still the same and could not be solved at all.
Fang Lin thought for a while, smelled the elixir carefully, and then looked at the many medicinal materials piled up in the alchemy room.
"There is nothing wrong with the medicinal materials. I have checked them all." Gongsun Mo said.
Fang Lin didn't think so. He walked to these medicinal materials and picked up a few to check.
Indeed, there was nothing wrong with the medicinal materials, but upon closer inspection, Fang Lin discovered some very obscure things.
These medicinal materials indeed look normal, but Fang Lin is a dead tree with a spring body, and he has rich experience and profound attainments from the previous life of Alchemy Master. Therefore, it can be seen that these medicinal materials are normal in appearance, but the inner medicinal properties and essence have been destroyed. Very lacking.
The appearance of normality is just an illusion. It would be strange to use these medicinal materials lacking in essence and medicinal properties to refine elixirs. It would be strange to be able to refine any good elixirs.
But the question is, why are these medicinal materials lacking in essence
If the environment here is very harsh, then it makes sense that it would cause the essence of the medicinal materials to be lost.
But this Xuandu City has fertile water and soil, and sufficient spiritual energy. If the medicinal materials are stored in this place, they will not lose their medicinal properties for decades.
Fang Lin frowned, feeling that this was strange, so he looked around the alchemy room to see if there were any clues.
Gongsun Mo looked at Fang Lin with a strange expression. Did this boy really see something? Or are you just pretending to understand if you don’t understand, and just pretending to be a ghost here
It's no wonder that Gongsun Mo is a little suspicious. After all, Fang Lin is too young, and he is only a Sanding alchemist. Even a great alchemist himself can't find the reason. What can you, a Sanding alchemist, see in such a short time? Come
It's not that Gongsun Mo looks down on Fang Lin, but normal people would be as suspicious as Gongsun Mo.
After carefully walking around the alchemy room several times, Fang Lin finally found some clues.
In the corner of the wall, Fang Lin found a few red hairs, which were very soft and had a very, very slight odor.
Fang Lin held these red hairs in his hands and asked Gongsun Mo and Gongsun Xiao to look at them together.
Seeing the red hair, Gongsun Xiao didn't know why, but Gongsun Mo frowned and said, "This seems to be the body hair of the three-eyed red fox."
Hearing this, Gongsun Xiao also remembered and said: "There is indeed a three-eyed red fox in the house!"
Gongsun Mo suddenly became a little uneasy. Only he could enter his alchemy room, and he regarded everything here as a treasure.
Unexpectedly, a fox sneaked into his alchemy room. Gongsun Mo became furious when he thought that his medicinal materials had been crawled by a fox or even licked by a fox.
"Damn fox! If you dare to sneak into my alchemy room, I will skin it when you turn around!" Gongsun Mo said angrily.
Fang Lin said with a smile: "The three-eyed red fox likes to suck the essence from medicinal materials. Most of the medicinal materials here have had their essence sucked away, and their medicinal properties are seriously insufficient, so no good elixirs can be refined. Come."
Gongsun Mo also completely understood that the relationship had been turbulent for a long time, and it turned out to be the fault of a three-eyed fox. Gongsun Mo thought it was because his level had dropped.
"Go and catch that fox!" Gongsun Mo said to Gongsun Xiao.
Gongsun Xiao did not dare to neglect and went out immediately. After a while, Gongsun Xiao came back holding a red fox with three eyes.
The three-eyed red fox was trembling with fear, as if it knew that it was revealed that it had sneaked into the alchemy room to absorb the essence of medicinal materials, and its eyes were filled with fear and panic.
Gongsun Mo slapped the three-eyed red fox on the head, but he didn't use any force and the force was not strong, but it still frightened the three-eyed red fox into screaming.
"You evil beast, I kept you in my house, and you actually secretly harmed my medicinal materials. See if I don't stew you today!" Gongsun Mo said fiercely.
Although the three-eyed red fox couldn't speak human language, it could understand human language. When he heard that Gongsun Mo was going to stew him, the three-eyed red fox almost fainted from fright, and his body was shaking extremely hard.
Fang Lin stood aside and said nothing. He had already helped Gongsun Mo find the reason. As for how to deal with the three-eyed red fox, it was Gongsun Mo's own business.
But Gongsun Mo didn't care about the three-eyed red fox. After all, Gongsun Mo personally brought this fox back to his mansion and raised him, and he also developed feelings for it. Although the fox harmed his medicinal materials, Gongsun Mo still He wouldn't kill this three-eyed red fox that he had raised since he was a child because of some medicinal materials.
"Remember this, next time you come in secretly and harm the medicinal materials, I will break your legs!" Gongsun Mo roared, and the three-eyed red fox nodded repeatedly, appearing extremely obedient.
After settling the matter, Gongsun Mo was in a good mood and discussed alchemy issues with Fang Lin.
Fang Lin didn't show any timidity and chatted eloquently with Gongsun Mo, but Gongsun Xiao stood aside and felt a little embarrassed. He didn't know much about alchemy, so he couldn't get a word in at all.
"My little friend is indeed amazing. I admire your insights in alchemy." Gongsun Mo said sincerely, his face full of admiration.
Fang Lin smiled and was about to return the favor when he suddenly heard a voice outside.
"Fifth Master, the people from the Prince's Mansion are here."
