Chapter 377 - 288: Modern Alchemy Methods
"Mr. Lin, this way please."
Old Liu, with a respectful demeanor, led Lin Lang into his Alchemy Department!
The spacious hall was adorned with a variety of modern high-tech instruments, all placed in an orderly fashion!
The air was filled with a strong medicinal aroma!
There were quite a few staff members here, regardless of age or gender, all wearing white lab coats and safety goggles!
They had long heard that an Alchemy Master had recently come to provide guidance!
Now, seeing Elder Liu finally bringing someone in,
they all stopped their work, eagerly awaiting.
However!
When they saw Lin Lang, they couldn’t help but be taken aback—
Lin Lang appeared youthful, looking barely in his early twenties, with a bright, youthful attire.
This was a stark contrast to the image they had of an Alchemy Master, who they imagined to be white-haired with an immortal-like aura!
They couldn’t help but be a little surprised!
...
Yet Old Liu said, "This is the Alchemy Master Mr. Lin, here to guide everyone in their alchemy work. A round of applause, please!"
Then there was a restrained applause.
The staff here—
were either seasoned traditional Chinese medicine doctors, with years of experience and a deep understanding of pharmacology, having their own insights in the domain of alchemy!
or outstanding students from medical fields, showcasing their talent in alchemy research with solid theoretical knowledge and innovative thinking!
Even though they did not outwardly say anything!
In their hearts, ripples of skepticism began to emerge—
Could this seemingly young "Mr. Lin" really be the so-called Alchemy Master?
...
"I wouldn’t dare call myself a master, I’m just here to exchange and learn from each other."
Lin Lang modestly replied.
"Mr. Lin is too humble, your alchemy skill is extraordinary, please do give us more guidance!"
Old Liu, standing by, nodded and bowed to Lin Lang.
This respectful attitude left everyone even more astonished!
In their eyes, Elder Liu was a person of considerable stature in the Special Agent Bureau!
And usually acted with prudence!
Yet at this moment, he was showing such respect, even to the point of flattery, towards Lin Lang!
It was truly puzzling!
...
At this moment!
Lin Lang seemed to have sensed from everyone’s gaze their lack of trust in him.
But he did not mind.
He continued to stroll calmly around the Alchemy Department.
Old Liu followed closely beside him, humbly seeking advice on various issues.
Lin Lang, with sharp eyes, observed the alchemy facilities and operating procedures as he walked.
After a moment!
He began mercilessly pointing out the issues he discovered, criticizing as he went:
"This is supposed to be an Alchemy Department, yet you don’t even have a proper Alchemy Furnace."
"How can you retain the medicinal power and extract high-purity elixirs just using these glass instruments?"
He shook his head.
"And this sterile workstation, it’s too rigid, stifling the chance occurrences in elixir creation..."
...
Lin Lang’s calm and clear voice echoed in the quiet hall.
His words were direct and sharp, like arrows pointing out the crux of the matter.
Yet he practically criticized this Alchemy Department into being worthless!
The faces of the numerous staff members began to gradually darken!
An elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctor couldn’t help but furrow his brows, stepped forward, and said:
"Young man, you can’t say such things!"
"These instruments were imported at a high price, and they are the most advanced internationally! They also control temperature well during elixir refinement!"
"For so long, we’ve indeed produced quite a few decent elixirs!"
Lin Lang gave him a glance, responding slowly:
"Even though these instruments are advanced, they are used for modern medicine production and are not suitable for elixirs!"
"Compared to a dedicated Alchemy Furnace, there is still a significant gap in preserving medicinal power."
"Take the Qi Gathering Pill you’re refining now, for instance. Due to excessive medicinal power loss, the efficacy of your elixir is reduced by at least 20%."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding staff expressed surprised expressions—
Lin Lang could tell at a glance that they were refining the Qi Gathering Pill!
This indicated that he indeed had some level of expertise!
But at that moment!
A young man couldn’t help but speak up:
"Mr. Lin, we haven’t ignored the specialized Alchemy Furnace you mentioned!"
"But after precise calculations and simulations by an expert team, it was deemed a backward production tool and therefore discarded!"
"If we switch to an Alchemy Furnace now, all our equipment would need replacing, which would cost a fortune!"
Lin Lang slightly shook his head and said:
"Alchemy doesn’t need that much equipment, an Alchemy Furnace is enough."
"As long as the correct method is mastered, the efficiency of alchemy will also be greatly improved."
"Although you can currently produce elixirs, their quality is far from top-tier, which is essentially wasting precious medicinal materials."
Lin Lang’s words plunged the present crowd into a silent fury—
What?
The alchemy methods we’ve strictly adhered to are incorrect, are they wrong?
He even said we’re wasting elixirs?
This is too much!
We’re all contributing to the country!
...
After Lin Lang’s sharp critique!
The surrounding air seemed frozen.
Finally!
Someone could no longer hold back!
A young girl stood out from the crowd with a swish—
She wore thick glasses, her eyes beneath the lenses revealing a spirit of defiance; her neat ponytail behind her head swayed gently with her movements:

[Appearance: 6.5 points]
[Recharge: 1 time]
