Chapter 31 This is not woolgathering, this is an exchange of prices.

Key points?

Song Qing’s brain raced, analyzing the combination of several previous failures, as well as this time’s success.

None of the previous steps have changed, and what should really change is the last step: the lightning strike!

How is this lightning strike different from the last one?

A few slightly weak arcs of electricity flashed through his heart, and Song Qing’s body shook as he said excitedly, “I get it, I get it.”

“Xu Ningyan, you are truly a marvelous alchemy genius.”

“You haven’t seen our previous failures, but you’ve known it in your heart for a long time, haven’t you, you’ve known the real reason for our failures for a long time.”

No, I just know that your thoughts are gradually di …. Xu Qi’an smiled without saying anything.

“What’s the key? Elder Brother Song, what do you understand?”

“Elder brother Song, aigoo don’t sell yourself short, quickly say it, this alchemy is becoming a demon in my heart.”

The white-robed alchemists anxiously pursued the question.

Song Qing coughed, looked around at his senior brothers, and said in a deep voice, “It’s the intensity of the lightning strike.”

When he finished speaking, he looked at Xu Qi’an with a pleading gaze.

Xu Qi’an smiled and nodded, mentioning, “I’ll name it Voltage.”

The voltage for refining metallic sodium should be controlled at 6-15 volts.

Voltage?

Song Qing froze, another word he had never heard before, electricity he knew, but what was voltage?

Instinctively, he thought it was a marvelous bit of knowledge, as profound as that blue book on the nature of all things.

A white-robed alchemist took a step forward, arching his hand toward Xu Qi’an and bowing, “Please clarify, brother, what is voltage?”

“Please teach us.” The other white-robed alchemists simultaneously arched their hands and said in unison.

Chu Caiwei, who was standing on the side, was envious, she liked this kind of feeling of being a gentleman and teaching an apprentice the most. Unfortunately, she was only a Feng Shui master and was not qualified to teach her disciple.

Voltage, also called potential difference or potential difference, is a physical quantity that measures the difference in energy of a unit charge in an electrostatic field due to the difference in potential ……. Of course, you can’t understand what I’m saying. Xu Qi An coughed, his face serious:

“Electricity, in the same way that water flows, it will flow toward a low point.”

Xu Qi’an lifted the teacup and poured down the water inside, “It’s fine if this cup is poured on anyone, but if it’s a hanging waterfall and a person is in it, they will have their bones broken by the impact of the water and even lose their lives. The same is true of electricity, a phenomenon I call voltage.”

He explains voltage with this easy-to-understand example.

The white-robed men of the Divine Constabulary frowned and fell into deep thought; they did not understand Xu Qi’an’s words very well.

Although they were alchemists and both possessed the ability to manipulate lightning, it didn’t mean they understood the nature of electricity.

Song Qing suddenly understood something and perked up, ”So, lightning will hit trees on rainy days, also because the trees are at a low point? The same is true for hitting people. Also, if it’s just a weak current, we’ll feel paralyzed at most, whereas if we endure a heavenly lightning blast, we’ll die.”

“The truth is that the voltage of heavenly thunder is so powerful that it is beyond the limits of what mortals can withstand, like a waterfall. And a weak current is a glass of water that can withstand it.”

Upon hearing Song Qing’s words, the white-clothed alchemists were enlightened with the excitement of having gained access to the mysteries of truth, and turned to Xu Qi’an with pleading gazes.

Uh, is that the principle? Isn’t the principle of lightning striking trees the conductivity of rainwater? My middle school teacher did not make it clear ah …. Xu Qi’an wasn’t sure himself, and put a smile on his face, “The children are teachable.”

“Is this also written in that secret alchemy book?” A young white man asked, curiosity written all over his face.

“Yes. I am the only one who has read that secret book of alchemy; studied it. The contents of the notes I had sent to the Sitian Supervisor are but a drop in the ocean.” After a pause, Xu Qi’an said in a deep voice:

“That ancient book of alchemy not only contains knowledge, but also many unheard of alchemy techniques.”

Unheard of Alchemy ….. On the spot, everyone breathed a few ragged breaths.

Xu Qi’an smiled and threw out a promise that made the White Clothes boil, “I’ve decided to share the alchemy secrets with the Divine Constabulary.”

Wow!

Nearly twenty alchemists were boiling with excitement on the spot.

“That blue book I gave to the Szeth, a thank you gift for saving my life, pointing you towards perfecting the alchemy that is Fake Silver Refining, as well as teaching you about voltage just now, it did not come free of charge.” Xu Qi’an spoke eloquently:

“And, of course, the subsequent alchemical secrets.”

“Never forget that the principle of alchemy is equivocation!”

Song Qing nodded, agreeing with the truth of what Xu Ningyan had said, and then asked a question on behalf of the senior brothers:

“How much silver do you want?”

“Vulgar!” Xu Qi’an said in a deep voice, “Alchemy is not something that can be measured in silver.”

Don t want money is the most expensive …. He added silently in his mind.

…….

Changle County Office, side hall.

Xu Ling Yue held her soundly sleeping baby sister in her arms, squeezing her handkerchief and sobbing.

Looking at the pearly little beauty, the hearts of the fast class’s fast hands were about to break. It hadn’t occurred to them that Xu Ningyan actually had such a playful and beautiful sister.

Even Sheriff Wang, who had been to the Church Department, was stunned by the little beauty.

The atmosphere in the parlor was a bit depressing, the fastidious men’s faces were ugly and wilted.

Sheriff Wang poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Xu Ling Yue. This little beauty has been crying for half a day, and her tears haven’t stopped, women are really made of water.

“Miss Xu shouldn’t be in a hurry, Lord Hundredth House will find a way to save Ning Yan.”

Other fastidious people spoke up to comfort and scolded Zhou Gongzi.

Big brother has a good relationship with his colleagues …. Xu Lingyue had a few moments of surprise, and the expressions of irritation of the fastidious people did not seem to be faked.

As if he could see her surprise, Sheriff Wang smiled, “Ning Banquet is a person worthy of making people respect him.”

Respect? Xu Lingyue froze, huffed, and said in a thin voice, “Sheriff Wang, can you talk to me about my big brother.”

Sheriff Wang was silent for a moment, unconsciously lowering his voice: “In fact, to people like us, where are the clean hands?”

“It’s a good thing that we don’t take action against the common people, but as for the rich merchants, it’s only natural that we should make money from them.”

“But your elder brother won’t, civilian or rich merchant, he never goes to extortion and blackmail. A while ago, considering that the Xu family suffered a great disaster, I decided to take him to make a fortune …..” When Sheriff Wang said this, his look was strange, there was embarrassment, shame, and admiration:

“He agreed with a smile, and afterwards I gave him five coins of silver, but he quietly returned it later.”

“To say that he understands it, the water to the clear there is no fish, do not understand the reasoning. But to say that he does not understand things, but also very good at things, and everyone’s relationship is very good, people are slippery. So when something happens to him, it’s hard for everyone.”

Xu Lingyue listened in fascination, the image of her big brother in her mind changed to be tall, bright and magnificent again.

She had worshipped Xu New Year since she was a little girl, because all things were inferior but reading was superior, because her mother had always instilled in her that her second brother was the only scholarly seed in the Xu family, and was the pillar of the future.

This adoration reached its peak after Xu Xinxin won the Lifu Ren in this year’s fall exam.

But then came the tax silver case, the whole family was imprisoned, desperate and helpless, the elder brother in the desperate situation for the whole family to open up a way of life.

Xu Lingyue redirected her attention to her big brother, becoming slightly curious about him.

Until today, she hadn’t realized how reliable this big brother was, just as she had saved the desperate girls from jail a month ago.

And back then, the feelings were certainly not as profound as this one.

The moment she saw her big brother save her sister, Xu Ling Yue’s image of her big brother in her heart was enough to be equal to her second brother.

At this moment, hearing the sentiments of Sheriff Wang, an image of a high-minded, principled, and bottom line was born, and the layers were pulled up, and it had surpassed the second brother who had always been worshipped.

At this time, the doorway of the side hall light changes, Xu Pingzhi father and son finally rushed back to the Changle County Office, see safe and sound sister (daughter), father and son as a relief.

Xu Ling Yue tilted her head, tears streaming down her face as she wailed, “Father, you have to save big brother, if big brother can’t come back, my daughter won’t be able to live either.”
