Chapter 194: Chapter 116: It’s Really Become Science! The Demon Dao Demon’s Accusation!

That gooey mess left Xiaoyu dumbfounded.

Why is it that when my senior makes elixirs, they turn out perfect, but mine just end up as a gooey mess?

"Sister Xiaomi, this is just a demonstration of a mistake," Xiaoyu awkwardly explained before looking to her senior for help, asking, "Senior, why is my concoction just a mess?"

"You must have made a mistake somewhere," Chen Han replied, not needing to guess the reason, which clearly indicated that Xiaoyu had failed in refining the elixir this time.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu promptly cleaned the pressure cooker and started the refining process anew.

This time, she was noticeably more meticulous.

Step by step, she controlled the civil and martial fire, and finally completed the refinement once more.

As she released the steam and opened the pressure cooker, she couldn’t help but feel anxious, praying in her heart, hoping it would succeed.

She had already embarrassed herself once in front of Sister Xiaomi.

After her prayers, she opened the lid, and as the steam dispersed, a few elixirs lay inside, making her exclaim excitedly, "Sister Xiaomi, look, come look, it succeeded."

Sister Xiaomi also saw the elixirs in the pressure cooker, and her face instantly showed a look of surprise.

This was really quite miraculous.

After a moment, Xiaoyu stored away the few elixirs and observed them carefully before asking Sister Xiaomi, "Sister Xiaomi, isn’t this amazing?"

Sister Xiaomi nodded with astonishment, "This high-pressure boiling point effect has actually been applied to alchemy by you guys."

Hearing this, Xiaoyu was rather puzzled, "What high-pressure boiling point effect?"

Sister Xiaomi explained, "It’s related to college-level physics and chemistry, involving knowledge about sudden temperature changes and material condensation, pressure airflow changes and separation laws, as well as material fiber or particle structural separation principles. For example, as the temperature rises in a pressure cooker, the internal pressure at high temperatures..."

When Xiaoyu heard her senior talking about scientific alchemy and bringing in physics and chemistry, she thought he was just bluffing.

Now hearing Sister Xiaomi’s explanation, she was a bit overwhelmed.

Could it really be related to physics and chemistry?

The key is, she couldn’t understand a word of what Sister Xiaomi explained, so she awkwardly said, "Sister Xiaomi, could you explain in simpler terms?"

Sister Xiaomi also looked at Xiaoyu awkwardly, remembering her friend was a complete academic slacker.

She tried to simplify her words as much as possible: "Have you seen this phenomenon? Like when an electric fan blows a mass of water from above, the water will spread all around, and if the wind is controlled well, smaller water masses can form."

"Similarly, in a pressure cooker, when heating in a sealed environment, as the internal pressure builds up enough, it can create a similar force pushing the separation of the gooey mixture..."

"If during the process, you control the pressure internally, like reducing it, it can cause a counter airflow phenomenon that kneads the separated mixture back and forth..."

As Xiaoyu listened, she felt that Sister Xiaomi’s explanation really made sense.

She truly envied her knowledge.

But she didn’t understand at all, seeing Sister Xiaomi, she became more bewildered.

Sister Xiaomi saw her expression and felt like she was wasting her words, helplessly saying, "Anyway, science, physics, chemistry related courses in college all have this little experiment."

Though Xiaoyu still didn’t understand, Sister Xiaomi had explained this much, so she seriously nodded, "So that’s how it is!"

Chen Han was actually quite surprised after hearing Sister Xiaomi’s explanation.

He had been bluffing to his junior about physics and chemistry.

Now Sister Xiaomi’s words actually seemed to fit within a scientific explanation?

This...

Seeing his junior and Sister Xiaomi enthusiastically start alchemy again, Chen Han decided not to reveal his own confusion, so he concentrated on editing the video.

By evening, he had edited the alchemy video and uploaded it to the Patriarch Chen’s account, pondering briefly before titling it: "New Era, Scientific Alchemy!"

He clicked send.

Chen Han now had quite a number of followers, and as soon as he updated, many people saw it, especially those who avidly followed him.

Ming Di was one such follower; seeing Patriarch Chen’s update, as a Demon Path Demon, he naturally checked it out immediately.

The title "New Era, Scientific Alchemy" drew his attention.

After all, Patriarch Chen’s videos were abstract cultivation content, and alchemy was a key skill in cultivation, but what did this scientific alchemy mean?

He clicked on the video to see footage of Patriarch Chen going to the county, strangely referred to as Tianhe City in his narration.

He was accustomed to such abstractions without much surprise.

Upon seeing Patriarch Chen at the pharmacy, earnestly proclaiming regular ginseng and eucommia ulmoides to be Centennial Ginseng, Centennial Sizhong Root, it genuinely amused him.

Especially when the video included a snapshot of the pharmacy owner looking at him as if he were mentally unstable, along with holding a drug-cutting knife, it cracked him up.

The owner probably thinks Patriarch Chen is crazy, probably contemplating using the knife for self-defense.

If Patriarch Chen hadn’t been quick in picking herbs, paying, and leaving, the owner might have drawn the knife.

Yet as the video played, when Patriarch Chen entered the kitchen and presented the spirit fire stove and spiritual pressure cauldron, he really couldn’t hold it in anymore.

"Oh my, Patriarch Chen, your abstractions are top-notch!"

Turns out it’s just a gas stove and a pressure cooker.

Goodness!

Though there’s lots of online jokes about alchemy with pressure cookers, those are just jokes. Patriarch Chen, are you for real?

He then saw Patriarch Chen preparing the ingredients, slicing and crushing them, adding water and pouring them into the pressure cooker.

This operation left him bewildered.

No way, messing around?

Under those circumstances, it looks like you’re just brewing herbs, not refining elixirs, and with that amount of water, you’ll end up with mush.
