Chapter 232: Colorful Scales Tribulation, Success or Failure
After parting with Liu Lao, I went straight back to the rental house, closed the door, covered the big quilt, and slept in the dark.
These days, it can be regarded as making me tired, as soon as I returned to Yunkai City, I was busy recovering the soul of heaven for Haozi, going around in a big circle, almost folding in the Splendid Manor, a night of fierce fighting, I was not very tired, closed my eyes, I wanted to sleep forever.
I slept for at least two days, and when I woke up, I still felt lightheaded and tired.
After going to the bathroom to take a shower, I returned to the study, took out the demon pill given to me by Canghai Zhenren, and began to ponder about refining the Nine Turns Purple Gold Pill.
Before, Liu Lao had something to entrust, but I didn't agree immediately, the main purpose was to take time to complete my promise to the little fox.
This Nine Turns Purple Gold Pill can help her reunite the Fa and make up for her cultivation, which is the most important thing to help this little fox to cross the tribulation, and I will never dare to slack off.
It's a pity that when I was in school, I always failed the chemistry test, and I really didn't know much about how to extract the impurities of the pill and how to practice the golden pill, so I had to take out the note that Chen Xuanyi handed to me, and studied it every day, constantly studying the steps of alchemy.
The steps of alchemy are very complicated, and there are more than a dozen kinds of materials to be prepared, such as Poria cocos, Aconitum sinensis, Chuanxiong, Angelica, Jinhua, Yanhusuo, etc., as well as many sundries and medicinal materials, including this five-hundred-year-old Great Demon Pill, which is also one of the auxiliary materials......
Each ingredient needs to be carefully selected, boiled according to the proportion, time, and heat, until finally, condensing a great tonic golden pill with miraculous effects.
Fortunately, as the end of the year approached, there was nothing to do at home, so I stayed at home and accompanied my parents to celebrate the Spring Festival lively, while studying the steps of alchemy.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, I began to refine the elixir.
Considering that this kind of thing could not be discovered by my parents, I had to move back to the rental house, specially bought a few large iron pots, set up a pot stove in my rental house, guarded the stove every day, and boiled it day and night in accordance with the method of Cheng Dan.
During this process, the demon introduction card has been hung on the shrine by me, paying attention to every move of my alchemy.
Occasionally, when I am sleepy, I will summon the God Devouring Gu and guard the stove for me.
After working so diligently and spending more than ten days, finally, the golden pill in the pot stove was successfully refined by me.
On the day of Cheng Dan, there was no imaginary heavenly calamity, thunder and fire, and there was no danxiang in the nose, only a lump of sticky sticky stuff in the pot stove, which I kneaded to the size of a fingernail.
I placed it on the shrine and silently stepped away, waiting for the Demon Channel's reaction.
Almost two minutes passed, and the little fox woke up, and then passed on a consciousness, saying What are you refining, dirty, how can I use it?
I smiled bitterly and said that you will come here, my first time alchemy, where is the best refining? Being able to knead it into pills is already considered to have exceeded the task.
She didn't speak, hiding in the demon card and hesitating.
I didn't speak, quietly looked at the demon introduction card, and waited for this little fox to decide for herself.
There is only one chance to use the Nine Turns Purple Gold Pill to restore cultivation, and if it fails, this little fox will be burned to death by the heavenly fire, and it will disappear.
This is a great test for her.
Again, it was a test for me.
After being silent for a long time, she sighed faintly, and then said to me, "Lin Feng, can I ask you something?"
I nodded vigorously, "You say, if I can do it, I must do my best." ”
After getting along for so long, although this little fox has never forgived people, I also know that she is just a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and she actually cares about me.
And me?
After these months of getting along, I gradually got used to the days with her by my side, although she has been trapped in the demon card, and she can't show up to meet me, but every time it comes to a crisis, this little fox will always appear in time to give me a calamity.
We're friends already......
Or something else?
Just as my mind was jumping, Colored Scales spoke again, "If I fail to cross the tribulation, you must send my bones back to Xiongren Ridge for a good burial." ”
When I said this, my heart was sour, and I hurriedly shook my head, saying How can it be, I have practiced all the Jindan, and I must not go wrong.
I said this, but my heart was sour, this Nine Turns Purple Gold Pill was trained by me to be like this bird, whether it can play a role is still a question, even if the Golden Pill is effective, the success rate is less than half.
Throughout the ages, how many big demons have died in the stage of the tribulation, they may not be more fully prepared than the color scales, but in the end, it is still difficult to escape the power of heaven and earth.
As if sensing my emotions, Cai Liang smiled, and said yes, although your alchemy skills are not good, but I have already felt the intention, with your encouragement, I will definitely be able to do it.
I nodded heavily and said yes, yes, it must be possible.
Then, Colorscale asked me to go out, close the door, and come back in three days.
I was surprised, saying that when you crossed the tribulation, didn't you need someone by your side to protect the Fa?
She smiled, surprisingly did not scold me, but pretended to be relaxed, "The catastrophe is not as exaggerated as you imagined, that is, a few thunderbolts, if you can avoid it, you can avoid it, if you can't avoid it, it will disappear, even if you stay, it is impossible to carry a thunder for me, right?"
I had no choice but to nod my head and say okay, then I'll go, and I'll come back to see you in three days, hoping that by that time, you'll be able to recover and live in this world as you always did.
After saying that, I turned my head and walked away, for fear that I would not be able to help but stay.
The moment the door closed, my heart was also a lot empty, and I was afraid that this parting would be permanent.
In order to be sure of her success in the first place, I didn't go far, but went to the corner of the street, found a guest house, and rented a room directly opposite the rental house, keeping an eye on the window.
The wait was grueling and long.
The first day passed, and everything was fine in that window, and there was no movement.
Then the next day, it was still quiet, the windows were closed, and no visions were happening.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day, just when I thought everything would survive in peace, that Thunder came!
When the first thunder fell, it was already the evening of the third day, and with a bang, the earth was illuminated as if it were day, and a thunderbolt struck the ground, shaking the whole neighborhood.
I was so frightened that I opened the window to look, and the street was full of people sheltering from the rain, and the sky seemed to fall into darkness all at once, and the wind mixed with the torrential rain hit the walls.
Half an hour later, a second thunderbolt was heard, louder than the first, and the window of the room was cracked despite being a block away.
The power of heaven and earth was unimaginably terrifying, and I looked across the street at the shattered window of the rental house, and a large number of glass shards fell down the wall, and my heart tightened.
Next, the third and fourth thunders!
I stayed in the hotel, and I couldn't sense the condition of the scales, but every time the thunder fell, my heart would clench.
The thunder was getting denser and denser, the earth was roaring, and the area where the rental house was located was shrouded in a thick black rain cloud, which rolled and rubbed blue arcs of lightning, and the terrible vision made me close my eyes and cover myself under the covers.
I'm not afraid of thunder, what really scares me is that this little fox may not be able to hold on.
Outside the window, the wind was still roaring, mixed with thunder and raindrops, and I couldn't do anything but huddle under the covers and wait anxiously.
The scene lasted for three hours, until the thunder stopped, the rain subsided, and the wind stopped swinging, and I immediately ran out of the hotel, ran upstairs as fast as I could, and kicked open the door of the rental house.
"Little Color!"
I yelled as I searched the room.
The safety line was damaged by a lightning strike, and the house was dark and in disarray, with rainwater seeping through the walls.
The living room seemed to have been soaked in a flood and was so messy that it had no direction.
I didn't see the strange figure, but in the corner of the wall, I found a curled up, charred skeleton.
The hair on her body had been blackened by the lightning, and all that was left was a dry bone.
In the night, it looks so bleak.
"Failed?"
I muttered, sat down, looked at the skeleton in the corner, my heart was like a knife, and tears came down in an instant.
