Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

"What are you doing?"

Jia Jing, who came back from doing business in the government, suddenly saw a little black egg in his alchemy room.

Xichun was covered in ashes from cleaning the alchemy furnace.

"Dad, are those people eating the pills you made because they don't want to live anymore?"

Xichun pushed away the half-cleaned ashes of the alchemy furnace, and really wanted to be coquettish and ask Jia Jing to buy a new one.

She looked around all the alchemy rooms and found that all the alchemy furnaces here had been used. The one in Jia Jing's house was better, but it also burned too much ashes.

Xichun finally understood why Jia Jing spent so much money but had a low elixir yield rate. The charcoal he burned was actually the best charcoal.

I wonder why it is so difficult to succeed in alchemy, because this is obviously done by rich fools. Danfang has been made fancy by scammers, just to get money.

Xuanzhenguan's annual income is indeed one or two thousand taels, but Jia Jing's alchemy would cost more than three thousand taels. With this money, Jia Zhen can hire a three- or four-year-old troupe to sing great operas.

So the two of them are competing to see who can destroy their fortune first?

"Nonsense! Of course I am making good elixirs."

Jia Jing really wanted to become an immortal, so while constantly experimenting with original elixir recipes, he also kept looking for new elixir recipes.

"Qin Shihuang has been deceived. Dad, do you think we can make a breakthrough with the help of our family?"

Xichun rolled her eyes at her father, feeling that it would be more interesting to confront him.

When Jia Jing heard this, he just wanted to tear up the new land deed in his arms and burn it. This unfilial daughter should really be trapped in the back house.

"This is different. Qin Shihuang is a foolish king..."

Jia Jing defended: "I'm not a foolish king, I'm just... in short, don't worry about my alchemy business. You're just a kid, just go ahead and play!"

He looked at Xichun's appearance in gray, and then thought about Xichun's appearance when he first came here, and he couldn't help but regret a little.

His fragrant and soft little girl disappeared, but it was because of his own indulgence that she became skinny.

"I'm talking to Daddy about business! What did those fools who bought Daddy's elixir think? If the elixir had worked, Daddy would have risen to the top by a long time ago. Why would he sell medicine to them? They look so stupid."

Jia Jing blushed, they were indeed stupid in this matter. It turned out that the former prince was ill, and the prince's treatment did not work for a long time, so he asked the alchemist to get through the gap and donate precious medicine.

Because this pill is mixed with arsenic, it is really very effective. However, the prince's symptoms were prone to recurrence, so he accidentally overdosed.

By the time they found out, they were already in trouble. So Jia Jing wanted to refine the real elixir to save the prince's life.

After discovering that all this was just the plan of today's emperor, Jia Jing's mentality changed. He didn't expect that they, a group of smart people, would actually suffer in this matter.

Therefore, the people who come to Jia Jing to buy medicine are all fools from back then. They deeply regretted harming their lord, so they would take the elixir together even if they were not sick.

Now that I think about it, it is indeed stupid. Anyone who actually ate it would have died violently. They pretend to be stupid for each other's benefit, and their lives go by like this.

Since Jia Jing has entered Taoism, he really wants to find out the method of cultivating immortality. But the real Taoist priest didn't accept him, so he had to play around on his own.

Now that he saw Xichun mocking him, he couldn't stand it anymore. He kept saying that Emperor Zhenwu was the master of Zhenwu. What happened to him who followed him to refine alchemy?

"If you have something to talk about, if nothing else, go and play with the golden boys and girls."

When Xichun heard the name, he wanted to complain. This scumbag father was so smart that he was misled by his cleverness. Because he was fooled, he wanted to get into trouble.

"Dad! Let's stop playing with this. If you really like to make alchemy, I also have a recipe here."

Xichun took out the prepared prescription of Bigu Pill and showed it to Jia Jing, and then introduced this good treasure with heart.

"Although this elixir cannot make people soar in a day, it can help people not eat for a month. Of course, this elixir cannot be used frequently. If you use it too much, you will starve to death."

Xichun didn't want to argue with Jia Jing about what trace elements were, so she just omitted it. Seeing that he really took it to study, he couldn't help but talk about something else.

"Didn't dad come up with anything interesting when he made alchemy before?"

Xichun didn't believe that what Jia Jing burned was all garbage. She checked the raw materials and found that there were several materials for burning glass.

Things like quartz sand, limestone, alkali and borax, as long as the temperature is high enough and the dosage is sufficient, even if transparent glass cannot be burned, there should always be glass balls, right?

"Hmph! I know you covet my things."

Jia Jing said proudly, but turned around and walked to where he kept the treasure.

His several boxes of treasures were indeed not shown to anyone else. Now that Xichun is interested, he can't help but want to show it off.

"have a look!"

Jia Jing carefully displayed a box of colorful glass balls, not counting balls, because these things also have different shapes.

He looked at Xichun expectantly and wanted to ask Xichun to praise him.

"It's quite pretty."

Xichun picked up a bracelet of the same color and wanted to wear it, but Jia Jing slapped the back of her hand.

"Be careful. It took a lot of effort for me to save this bunch. This is the only bunch I have here."

While showing it carefully, he also said: "Doesn't it look good? Your brother doesn't even know about it. If he finds out, he will definitely not be able to keep this glass string."

Xichun originally thought that a string of glass beads was nothing to worry about, but she realized it when her father called it Liuli. Feelings are still rare!

There were a lot of glassware in Rongguo Mansion, so Xichun thought that there were already a lot of them at this time. It wasn't until I saw Jia Jing cherishing these glass balls that I realized that these were actually rare items.

"Don't we have a lot of them at home? I saw a lot of them at the old lady's house."

"Hmph! The things she shows off are all gifts from the royal family, or they were found by the Wang family from the south. But no one knows about me. I figured it out by myself over and over again, and it still has fairy aura on it. "

Jia Jing was confident that what he refined would be better than others. In his opinion, it was given by the gods when refining elixirs, and could not be compared to those things that foreign monks got randomly.

Jia Jing was convinced that the "orb" he refined had a blessing effect, so he wore it every time he made an elixir. Seeing Xichun being so disapproving, I felt that she was really ignorant.

Xichun was also confused by this scumbag father. He was sometimes advanced and sometimes pedantic. He also half-believed in the existence of gods, and was in a more wonderful existence. Just like the Yunnan people who look at mushrooms, they don't believe that they are poisonous, but believe that they are not cooked properly.

"Dad! How about we practice this and sell it for money?"

Xichun decided not to popularize science, but to find ways to make money first. She once knew how to burn glass. Nowadays, this thing is rare and can be used to make money.

Within three years, you can make a fortune by burning glass.

"Nonsense! How can this thing be burned? Mine was given by the gods. And even if it can be burned, it cannot be sold for money. This thing can only be owned by the emperor's family. Are you selling this? How many heads do you have?"
