Online Fortune Telling: Your Son Has Another Dad-Chapter 279 - 277: Firing Up the Furnace for Alchemy

After Group Leader Qi decided to stay, he immediately called the current director of the Religious Affairs Bureau to report the situation here.

Meanwhile, Captain Meng followed the previously agreed plan and requested a helicopter from the city to airdrop tents and food supplies.

About half an hour later, the helicopter flew over everyone's heads and dropped tents, drinking water, food, and other supplies.

After receiving the supplies, everyone, under Captain Meng's command, began setting up the tents.

At the same time, Lu Heng was preparing to perform alchemy.

When this news spread, no one bothered to set up tents anymore, and they all gathered around Lu Heng with expectant expressions.

Lu Heng looked around at everyone and took a deep breath.

This was his first time performing alchemy in front of so many people.

Fortunately, he had secretly tried it a few times before, and the steps of alchemy were already familiar to him.

Under everyone's gaze, he calmly took out the previously owned Bronze Pill Cauldron from the system warehouse.

This seemingly magical scene first stunned Group Leader Qi and others.

"Did you see that? Where did that big cauldron come from?"

"I didn't see clearly, it seemed to appear out of thin air."

"This is too unbelievable! Even with magic tricks, you can't make something so big appear like that, right?"

"This cauldron is huge! It's bigger than those bronze cauldrons collected by the National Museum."

"Are they planning to use the bronze cauldron for alchemy? I remember that in ancient times, bronze cauldrons were not cooking utensils?"

"No, no, no, the most basic use of a cauldron is as a food utensil, secondly as a vessel for offering sacrifices to ancestors and spirits, and also as a symbol of royal and political power!"

"I guess if such a large bronze cauldron were taken out, it would definitely be like a national treasure."

"What will be used to heat the cauldron for alchemy?"

"I don't know, don't tell me it's firewood!"

"That would be too cheap, at least use smokeless coal!"

"Shhh... keep your voices down! Didn't you see the leader frowning?"

As Group Leader Qi lightly frowned, the murmurs on site instantly ceased.

This alone showed the authority of Group Leader Qi.

After everyone stopped discussing, Lu Heng slowly extended his right palm.

The crowd was puzzled by this action.

But soon, they saw a flame suddenly emerge from his palm. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Whoa!"

Someone shouted first, and others couldn't help but exclaim as well.

Alas, having little knowledge, one 'whoa' suffices worldwide!

This "whoa" expressed the indescribable shock and amazement felt by everyone at that moment.

"Immortal! Truly an Immortal!"

"Nonsense, if he weren't an Immortal, could he have appeared beside us out of thin air earlier?"

"Suddenly, I remember when he first appeared, wasn't his whole body engulfed in flames?"

"I was really ignorant just now to question the alchemy process of the great Immortal."

"What kind of fire is this? Even a small flame makes me feel the heat."

"It is a bit hot, but not excessively so, right?"

"I think you have a fever!"

All the young people present widened their eyes in surprise.

And Captain Meng was no exception.

He opened his eyes wide, almost popping them out.

"Even such an Immortal has appeared. It seems the world is going to undergo great changes!"

In his astonishment, he couldn't help but worry too.

"A hero might break the law with martial force!"

If these Immortals with extraordinary abilities do not like to follow modern societal laws, what then?

The consequences of any conflict with such beings would be incalculable!

While Captain Meng was feeling worried, Lu Heng continued with the next step of the alchemy process.

With a gentle flick of his fingers, the flame in his hand flew beneath the Bronze Pill Cauldron.

"Makapaka... Wuxidi... Yigubi... Chattering..."

Lu Heng muttered, as if reciting some kind of curse technique.

As he continued to chant, the flame grew larger and eventually enveloped the entire cauldron.

The crowd gathered around instinctively stepped back a few steps.

Not because they didn't enjoy watching the commotion,

but because it was too hot!

When there was only a small flame earlier, the surrounding temperature had already risen slightly.

Now such a large flame instantly raised the temperature by more than a dozen degrees.

Sweat poured off everyone's foreheads.

No one dared to get closer, fearing they'd be roasted alive.

Lu Heng ignored the reactions of the others, and with a slight wave of his sleeve, the lid of the Bronze Pill Cauldron flew open.

Meanwhile, he took out a heap of miscellaneous items.

These were things he had casually gathered from the nearby forest.

Weeds, branches, stones, you name it, there was everything.

Wrapped in True Qi, this heap was quickly thrown into the Bronze Pill Cauldron.

The so-called "Three-Stripe Clear Spirit Pill" was just something he made up.

Even he didn't know the recipe for it.

So whatever materials there were, he just used them.

After all, this thing was going to appear for the last time.

The onlookers hadn't had a chance to see what the materials were before they were thrown into the big bronze cauldron.

As the materials entered the cauldron, a series of sounds erupted from within.

There was no need to think of it, those miscellaneous things must have exploded from the high temperature.

But the others didn't understand and thought it was some special step.

After completing this series of alchemy steps, Lu Heng slowly stood up.

He glanced over the crowd and said softly, "This Three-Stripe Clear Spirit Pill needs to be refined for seven days."

"During these seven days, do not approach the alchemy cauldron lest you be burned by the flames."

"Don't worry, Younger Brother Xiao!"

"Old Taoist I will stay here to guard it, ensuring no problems arise."

Zhenyuan lightly stroked his long beard and said.

"Senior Xiao, please rest assured!"

"We definitely won't disturb it," promised Group Leader Qi hastily.

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

What a joke!

At a distance of several meters from the big bronze cauldron, the heat was unbearable.

Getting any closer, wouldn't you be burned to ashes by the flames?

"That's good!"

Lu Heng nodded in satisfaction at these words.

"I wish to return to the mountains for introspection and will come back in seven days to open the furnace for the elixir. Please do not be impatient."

Having said this, he rose into the air, transformed into a white shadow, and instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Coming without a trace and going without a trace, truly the style of an Immortal!

The crowd couldn't help but feel amazed.

"Alright, everyone, let's get back to setting up the tents!"

With him gone, why stand idly?

Captain Meng quickly motioned for everyone to resume setting up the tents.

Unlike those Immortals, in such conditions, not having a tent at night would be deadly!
