“Mr. Lin, please here.”

Old Liu respectfully led Lin Lang into his alchemy department!

In the spacious hall, various modern high-tech instruments were arranged in an orderly manner!
The air is filled with a strong smell of medicine!
There are quite a few staff here, men, women, young and old, all wearing white coats and goggles!
They had heard that a master alchemist would be coming to give them guidance soon!

At this time, I saw that Mr. Liu finally brought people here.

So they all stopped what they were doing and looked forward to it.

however!
When they saw Lin Lang, they were all stunned for a moment——

Lin Lang had a young face, appeared to be in his early twenties, and was dressed in a youthful and sunny manner.

It is completely different from the image of the white-haired, immortal-looking alchemy master in their minds!

I couldn’t help but be a little surprised!

……

Old Liu said, “This is Mr. Lin, the master of alchemy. He is here to guide us in alchemy. Please welcome him with applause!”

Then there was a very restrained applause.

The staff here——

Or they are old Chinese medicine practitioners with profound qualifications, who have their own insights in the field of alchemy due to their years of experience and mastery of pharmacology!
Or they are top students majoring in medicine, who have made their mark in alchemy research with their solid theoretical knowledge and innovative thinking!
Even though they didn’t say anything on the surface!
But there are more or less ripples of doubt in my heart——

Could this “Mr. Lin” who looks so young really be the so-called alchemy master?
……

“I don’t dare to be a master, I just come here to exchange and learn from each other.”

Lin Lang said modestly.

“Mr. Lin is so modest. Your alchemy skills are superb. Please give me more guidance!”

Old Liu on the side nodded and bowed to Lin Lang.

This respectful attitude surprised everyone!

In their eyes, Lao Liu is also a person of considerable status in the General Intelligence Bureau!
And he acts steadily on weekdays!

But at this moment, he was so respectful to Lin Lang, even flattering!

It’s really puzzling!
……

at this time!

Lin Lang probably also sensed from everyone’s eyes that they did not trust him.

But he didn’t care.

He still paced calmly in the alchemy department.

Old Liu followed closely beside him, asking various questions with an open mind.

Lin Lang had sharp eyes and observed the alchemy facilities and operating procedures around him as he walked.

After a while!
He mercilessly pointed out the problems he found, commenting on them as he walked:
“Since this is the alchemy department, you don’t even have a proper alchemy furnace.”

“How can we retain the medicinal power and extract high-purity elixirs using only these glass instruments?”

He shook his head.

“Also, this sterile operating table is too rigid, and it kills the chance of making the elixir…”

……

Lin Lang’s voice was calm and clear, echoing in the quiet hall.

His words were direct and sharp, like a sharp arrow, pointing out the key point.

However, it also criticized the alchemy department as being useless!

The faces of many staff members gradually became gloomy!
An old Chinese doctor with gray hair could not help but frowned, stepped forward and said:
“Young man, you can’t say that!”

“These instruments of ours were imported at high prices and are the most advanced in the world! They can also control the temperature very well when refining the elixir!”

“Over this long period of time, we have indeed refined quite a few medicinal pills with good effects!”

Lin Lang glanced at him and responded slowly:

“Even if these instruments are advanced, they are used to make modern medicines, not elixirs!”

“Compared with a dedicated alchemy furnace, there is still a big gap in retaining medicinal power.”

“Take the Qi Gathering Pills you are refining for example. Because too much medicinal power is lost, the efficacy of the pills you are refining has been reduced by at least 20%.”

As soon as these words came out, the staff around him all showed surprised expressions.

Lin Lang could tell at a glance that what they were refining was the Qi Gathering Pill!

This shows that he does have some skills!

But now!
A young man couldn’t help but speak up:
“Mr. Lin, we have considered the special alchemy furnace you mentioned!”

“It was only after precise calculations and deductions by a team of experts that they determined that it was an outdated production tool, and therefore eliminated it!”

“If we switch to the alchemy furnace now, we will have to replace all the equipment, which is an astronomical amount of money!”

Lin Lang shook his head slightly and said:
“Alchemy doesn’t require so many instruments. One alchemy furnace is enough.”

“As long as you master the correct method, the efficiency of alchemy will be greatly improved.”

“Although you can refine pills now, the quality is far from the top level. This is actually a waste of precious medicinal materials.”

Lin Lang’s words caused everyone present to fall into angry silence.

what?
The alchemy method that we have been strictly following is actually incorrect and wrong?
And you still say we are wasting pills?

unacceptable!

We are all contributing to the country!
……

After Lin Lang’s sharp comments!

The air around him froze.

at last!

Some people can’t hold back anymore!
A young girl stood out from the crowd.

She wore thick glasses, and her eyes behind the lenses showed a spirit of not admitting defeat; her neat ponytail was tied behind her head, swaying gently with her movements:

【Wu Dan】

[Appearance: 6.5 points]

【Charging: 1 times】

[Loyalty: 5%]

[Return rate: 100]

[Combat Power: E]

[Ability: Super Sense of Smell (Level 5)]

Lin Lang glanced at her message.

And this woman also looked at Lin Lang very confidently, with a strong aura!
of course!

She has the qualifications to be confident!
after all!

She is a top student who graduated from a top medical university!
During her time at school, she was able to handle both complex medical theories and cutting-edge research topics with ease, and was recognized as a medical genius by her teachers and classmates!
In order to recruit her to conduct medicinal pill research, the Secret Service Bureau not only promised her generous treatment, but also promised her many scientific research resources. It can be said that they spent a lot of time and money.

now!

She stood there, clasped her hands over her chest, and looked Lin Lang up and down.

I felt that this guy who looked so young had no real ability at all!

I’m just talking nonsense here and disrupting everyone’s work.

“Mr. Lin! I wonder which famous medical book recorded what you just said? What scientific basis is there?”

“Forgive my ignorance, but I would like to ask Mr. Lin for advice!”

With the intention of making Lin Lang look bad, she took a step forward!
Then he began to test Lin Lang’s professional knowledge of pharmacology in a shrill voice!

Between words!
Those professional terms came one after another, like a machine gun, and the speed was extremely fast!
What about “the temperature of Chinese medicine preparation and the mechanism of drug property transformation”, “the effect of the dosage ratio of monarch, minister, assistant and envoy in prescription compatibility on drug efficacy”…

It seemed as if it was going to drown Lin Lang in this ocean of professional knowledge.

Every time she asked a question, she raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of provocation.

When Mr. Liu saw this scene, his originally kind expression changed slightly, his brows frowned instantly, and several deep lines appeared on his forehead.

He was quite angry at Wu Dan’s rude behavior, and his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something!
But considering Wu Dan’s special status, he is also highly valued in the bureau, and has a strong scientific research team supporting him!
Old Liu suppressed his anger, gritted his teeth lightly, and finally swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He just stood aside, looking quite helpless.

Although Lin Lang has not systematically studied Chinese medicine!
But at the moment Wu Dan asked those questions, the law of wisdom seemed to be a mysterious force that was activated and started to work rapidly in his mind.

The complicated and obscure pharmacological knowledge seemed to be neatly sorted out by an invisible hand, and he understood it thoroughly in an instant.

However, he had already reached a certain state——

Having met all kinds of people and experienced countless things, I know that debating with others is just a waste of words. Real strength will prove everything.

So, Lin Lang raised his head slowly and glanced at Wu Dan calmly.

The voice was calm and steady.
“Take the example of the Qi-boosting pills you made! If you use a pill furnace to make them, add ginseng and other blood-boosting herbs, raise the temperature of the pill fire, and inject spiritual energy during the critical pill-condensing stage, the effect will be immediate.”

After saying this, he didn’t care whether the crowd’s reactions were surprise, disdain or confusion. He tapped his feet lightly and turned to leave.

……

Some of the people present were whispering to each other, discussing in low voices whether what Lin Lang said was reliable.

Some of them still had disdain on their faces, with sarcastic smiles on their lips, thinking that Lin Lang was speechless and fled in panic.

Wu Dan curled his lips, snorted softly, and muttered softly:

“Pretending.”

Seeing this, Old Liu became anxious and quickly took a few steps to catch up. As he walked, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead due to anxiety.

After catching up to Lin Lang, he said apologetically:

“Mr. Lin, I’m really sorry. These people are too conceited and never willing to reflect. If they were really capable, how could they fail so frequently in alchemy? You are a magnanimous person, so please don’t take it to heart.”

Lin Lang had a gentle smile on his face, looked into the distance, and said slowly:
“It’s okay, I don’t care about these. However, the Dao of Alchemy is broad and profound, and many things cannot be replaced by others. You still need to explore them by yourselves. Some experiences can only be truly understood by experiencing them personally.”

After that, he bowed slightly to Lao Liu and left. Lao Liu looked at Lin Lang’s departing back, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something to keep him, but in the end he didn’t say it. He could only sigh helplessly, his heart full of regret.

He knows it very well!
This may be a missed opportunity for the alchemy department to achieve a major breakthrough!
……

Old Liu returned to the alchemy area with a lot of anger. When he saw the staff, his face instantly turned gloomy, and his usual amiability disappeared without a trace.

He coughed heavily, attracting everyone’s attention, then suddenly raised his voice and started to curse:
“Do you know what you have done? We finally invited a master of alchemy. This is such a rare opportunity! He came all the way to help us, but you are so disrespectful and rude that you drove him away!”

As he spoke, he pointed at everyone, his face distorted with anger.

Wu Dan was standing in the crowd. When he heard Lao Liu’s scolding, he just shrugged slightly, with an expression of disapproval still on his face.

She pushed her glasses up on her nose and muttered softly:

“Why are you so angry? I think he is a liar.”

Although the sound was not loud, it was still heard by many people in this quiet space.

The others also echoed, saying one after another:

“That’s right. This Lin Lang may not really be a master of alchemy! Teacher Liu, you haven’t seen him make pills with your own eyes, right? Maybe he is just a person with a false reputation.”

As they spoke, they exchanged glances with each other, as if looking for more support for their doubts.

When Old Liu heard these words, he was speechless and didn’t know how to refute.

He opened his mouth, but found that he really could not produce any evidence of Lin Lang refining the elixir. After all, he had never seen Lin Lang refining the elixir with his own eyes.

But he had an inexplicable certainty in his heart. He had never doubted Lin Lang’s strength. This was an intuition, a judgment of people accumulated over his many years of experience.

Seeing that Lao Liu didn’t say anything, Wu Dan thought that his words had the upper hand, so he continued:

“Don’t worry, Mr. Liu. We were almost successful in refining it. It doesn’t matter whether he is there or not! We have so many people and so many resources. Are we afraid that we can’t make a small pill?”

Her tone was full of confidence, even a little conceited.

After hearing this, Old Liu was so angry that he trembled all over. He glared at Wu Dan fiercely and said loudly:

“That’s better! If you can really succeed in refining it, then I’ll just be meddling in your business!”

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned away angrily.

Old Liu was thinking in his mind as he walked.

He knew that it was everyone’s fault for making Lin Lang angry and leaving this time. He had to go back and think carefully about how to apologize to Lin Lang and how to save the situation.

After all, in his heart, Lin Lang is definitely not an ordinary person, and he might really be able to bring unprecedented breakthroughs to the alchemy department.

……

As soon as Mr. Liu disappeared at the door, Wu Dan curled his lips, his face full of disdain, and kept muttering:

“Even a top student of medicine like me is still exploring, and yet anyone dares to pretend to be an alchemy master! He keeps talking about mysterious metaphysical words all day long. He should just pretend to be a fortune teller! It would be strange if you believe what he says!”

As she spoke, she waved her hand impatiently, as if she wanted to completely erase Lin Lang from her world.

After venting his dissatisfaction, Wu Dan quickly adjusted his attitude, held his head high, and spoke loudly with the demeanor of a leader:
“Everyone, stop standing there and let’s continue trying to make the elixir using our own methods!”

As she spoke, she strode to the experimental table, her eyes revealing determination and confidence.

At this time, one of Wu Dan’s assistants, a little girl, stepped forward cautiously.

She said in a timid voice:

“Sister Wu, how about… we try the method Mr. Lin taught us? There’s no harm in trying it anyway, maybe it really works.”

As she spoke, she nervously tugged at the corner of her clothes with her hands, her eyes full of expectation, hoping that Wu Dan would consider this proposal.

When Wu Dan heard this, he immediately frowned, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he said in a firm tone:
“You are not allowed to use it! We must have confidence and believe in modern medicine! We are professional researchers and we must use scientific methods to defeat the end of the world. How can we believe in those unorthodox methods that have no scientific basis?”

Her voice rose a few notches, as if to encourage herself and the people around her.

The assistant was so frightened by Wu Dan’s yell that he shrank his neck, dared not say another word, and silently retreated back into the crowd.

Wu Dan ignored the assistant’s reaction, turned to look at the other staff members, and gave a loud order:

“Okay, everyone take your positions and start refining the elixir!”

Everyone took action and worked busy in front of various complex reactors.

They carefully picked up the reagent bottles and added the reagents into the reactor drop by drop according to the plan formulated by Wu Dan. They kept their eyes fixed on the scales on the instrument and the changes in the reaction. Every movement was rigorous and focused.

In the entire laboratory, there was only the slight sound of instruments running and people’s nervous breathing. Everyone was looking forward to the success of this alchemy.

……

Lin Lang finished his trip to the alchemy department of the Secret Service Bureau and returned to Xina’s residence.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard the sound of running water in the bathroom. He must have come back and was taking a shower.

Lin Lang changed his shoes, walked into the living room, and sat casually on the sofa.

At this time, Hina’s voice came out through the bathroom door with water vapor:

“Lin Lang, where is Zhixi? I ​​didn’t see her when I came back.”

Lin Lang leaned back on the sofa and responded calmly:

“She went to help me train Ji Qianlan.”

“Ok?”

There was obvious surprise in Xina’s voice, as if she was a little surprised by this answer. However, after a brief silence, she did not ask any more questions, but just responded: “Oh.”

Afterwards, the only sound in the bathroom was the sound of running water.

Lin Lang was in the living room, resting with his eyes closed.

He leaned comfortably on the sofa, bored, and decided to use his spiritual power to find out the current situation of the women.

In an instant, a mysterious and powerful spiritual power spread from him, like invisible tentacle, crossing the limitations of space and reaching every corner!

On Zhixi’s side, everything was going quite smoothly.

She took Ji Qianlan to the wild, surrounded by dense jungle and diffuse fog.

Ji Qianlan, holding a long sword and with a nimble posture, was fighting fiercely with a huge and ferocious beast.

Zhixi was observing attentively from the side and gave Ji Qianlan some key advice when appropriate.

Whenever Ji Qianlan found the right moment and attacked the ferocious beast accurately, Zhixi would nod slightly, her eyes full of approval.

……

In Asuka City!

Ouyang Yunzhi has successfully escaped.

There was a faint blue glow emanating from her body, and it was obvious that she had successfully refined the water spiritual root.

At this moment, she was traveling through the streets and alleys of Feiniao City, searching for traces of other spiritual roots with a keen eye.

……

In the happy community!
Gu Fei, Lu Suran, Yu Annie, Ding Xinrou and Ding Xinyi were gathered together, enjoying a leisurely time.

In the living room, the sound of mahjong tiles colliding was crisp and pleasant, a light-hearted and interesting variety show was playing on TV, and their cheerful laughter could be heard from time to time.

Someone played a card and shouted “peng”, followed by a lively discussion and a happy atmosphere.

Tang Lingyu sat patiently beside Lu Xiaoxing and taught her how to read and write.

Lu Xiaoxing held the pen carefully and followed Tang Lingyu’s writing stroke by stroke.

Tang Lingyu explained the meaning and writing of each word in a soft voice.

……

Around Mingyue City!
Leng Wei, Ning Shuangyu and Xu Bing, three women, led the members of the martial arts team in a heroic manner and actively cleared out the rampant beasts around Mingyue City.

……

On Star Wave Island.

Xu Xingyao sat quietly by the window, her eyes somewhat empty, staring blankly out the window.

Liu Lan is busy cultivating super fruits. She takes good care of those exotic fruit trees, watering and fertilizing them from time to time, her eyes full of expectations for these fruit trees.

Xu Xingyao looked at Liu Lan’s busy figure, and her thoughts seemed to drift far away.

……

At Baida Plaza!
Yan Lan was immersed in cultivation.

She closed her eyes tightly, and the surrounding spiritual energy surged towards her like a tide, forming a small spiritual energy vortex around her body.

Her expression was focused and determined. She was not disturbed by the outside world at all and only wanted to make breakthroughs on the path of cultivation.

……

In Qingfeng City!

Wen Feiyan is concentrating on training a group of ferocious beasts——

Under her command, the ferocious beasts performed various actions in a uniform manner. Although they looked ferocious, they were very obedient to Wen Feiyan.

Yan Xiaofan was doing the housework at home carefully. She cleaned the room spotlessly, placed every item in order, and had a satisfied smile on her face.

……

In the Martial God Village!

Zhong Qinglan was dressed in gorgeous clothes and was sitting together with the elders of the Martial God Palace to discuss matters.

She looked solemn and listened carefully to the elders’ speeches, occasionally expressing her own unique insights, and her every move showed her leadership style.

……

On the lake in Black Lake City!
Jin Xiaoyu sat alone in the small boat, holding a fishing net and catching fish.

However, her mind did not seem to be on fishing, her eyes were somewhat wandering, her hands were moving slowly, and she looked into the distance from time to time, as if she was thinking about something.

After Lin Lang sensed all of this, he slowly withdrew his spiritual power and his thoughts returned to reality.

He opened his eyes slightly, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.

His own women each lead a stable and interesting life.

He was very pleased. (End of this chapter)
