Mu Jinyu heard Xia Ruochen muttering with a bit of helplessness, turned his head to look at him, and said: "Not so many people are needed!"
"Ah?" Xia Ruochen was taken aback and looked at Mu Jinyu in surprise.
Mu Jinyu explained: "You still don't get it. This pill furnace is not controlled by an alchemist to manage the heat for alchemy. It's a specialized automated alchemy furnace I developed. Think of the traditional pill furnace as an ordinary stove, and my batch of pill furnaces are like electric rice cookers..."
"Electric rice cooker?" Xia Ruochen's eyes gradually lit up, he spoke out.
Mu Jinyu nodded: "That's right. To automatically refine a furnace of Essence Qi Pills, it takes about ten minutes. The person in charge just needs to put in the materials for the first batch, and the remaining nine minutes, the furnace will complete the process of extracting, merging medicinal liquids, and forming the elixir on its own..."
