"Alchemy with niter? An explosion?"
Chen Mo was taken aback.
The so-called alchemy with niter is not using niter as a fuel.
It's used for "subduing fire."
Subduing fire refers to the practice of alchemists burning toxic minerals like sulfur and arsenic to reduce their toxicity before use. Subdued fire means to tame, making the toxins less potent.
The materials used for subduing fire include niter, sulfur, and soapwort (which contains carbon).
Chen Mo quickly asked, "Besides niter, what else did the State Preceptor use for alchemy?"
Zhao Fujin, as Lin Su Ya's direct disciple, naturally had learned alchemy. She said, "There's also sulfur, charcoal, obsidian, seeds of gold coin..."
Zhao Fujin listed off seven or eight things in a row.
Hearing this, Chen Mo's eyes lit up with joy.
Indeed, it was one niter, one sulfur, three charcoals.
It's executable, really executable.
As for the explosion.
