Chapter 99: Gunpowder
"But I don't know exactly where he is. I only know that he enjoys a very high reputation in the palace and is regarded as a master of alchemy."
"His alchemy skills are extremely advanced. He is able to refine amazing elixirs. Every time he refines an elixir, it attracts divine thunder, which is amazing."
After hearing this, Fusu's eyes flashed, and he realized that this might involve advanced skills in alchemy.
He further inquired:
"So, do you know the name of this master alchemist?"
"Or is there something special about the alchemy method and materials he used?"
Li Chen thought about it and replied:
"Sir, I don't know his name directly, but everyone in the palace respectfully calls him 'the God of Alchemy'."
"As for the alchemy methods and materials he used, I heard that they are extremely rare and precious."
"When he makes pills, he often needs to use some special minerals and medicinal materials."
"Also, the process of refining the elixir requires extremely high firepower and precise control. If you are not careful, you may fail."
After hearing this, Fusu became even more curious about this "God of Alchemy".
He realized that alchemy is not only a skill, but also a comprehensive art that integrates knowledge from multiple disciplines.
That's gunpowder, which will be a powerful weapon on battlefields for the next thousand years.
Although gunpowder has existed in history since the Qin Dynasty, it has never been used on the battlefield.
Fusu was about to ask further questions, but Li Chen's next words made him feel disappointed.
After Fusu heard Li Chen's description of the "God of Alchemy", the curiosity and expectation in his heart were instantly shrouded by a chill.
He was stunned for a moment and asked with a trembling voice.
"Li Chen, you... you mean, that 'Alchemy God' tested the medicine on himself, and ended up... being burned to death by the alchemy fire?"
Li Chen's face was heavy, and he nodded: "Yes, sir. I saw it with my own eyes."
"After the 'Alchemy God' took the elixir, within a few moments, his entire body was ablaze with flames, as if he was engulfed by fire."
"The King of Qin was horrified, but the 'God of Alchemy' had no power to struggle and was burned to ashes in front of everyone."
Fusu took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner shock.
He had mixed feelings, feeling regret for this "God of Alchemy" and deep worry about the ancient alchemy technique.
He said to himself: "This... this is not alchemy, it's playing with fire and getting burned!"
"Gunpowder...if that's true, isn't it too dangerous?"
Li Chen looked at Fusu's reaction and felt quite emotional.
He was well aware of Prince Fusu's desire for alchemy and immortality.
But this incident made him see another side.
The misuse and blind pursuit of skills may lead to unpredictable consequences.
He said in a deep voice: "Sir, that 'Alchemy God' may be pursuing higher alchemy skills, so he did not hesitate to test the medicine on himself."
"But such behavior is too risky."
"I think that real skills should be used to benefit mankind, not to destroy one's own future like this."
When Fusu heard Li Chen's story, he felt a strong sense of urgency in his heart and he hurriedly asked.
"Li Chen, do you know the whereabouts of those alchemists who are still in the palace?"
Li Chen thought for a moment and replied.
"Sir, most of the alchemists in the palace are under strict surveillance, and I am not very clear about their whereabouts."
"But as far as I know, several of them are trusted by the King of Qin. They should still be working in the alchemy room in the palace."
