Chapter 108: Alchemy

Passing through the door guarded by two Medicine God Valley monks in red shirts again, Lu Tao came to a building that covered a considerable area, and on the plaque above the building, only the words "Dan Palace" were written.

"This is the alchemy room used by the outer disciples, on the mountain, each elder has his own alchemy room, and my master also has it, but the fire was taken away by the master, and it can't be used for the time being, ah...... Tinder is something that is extracted from an active volcanic crater in a special way, and when placed in a special formation, it can simulate a special flame in the depths of a volcano. ”

Lu Tao nodded, and Kikyo continued: "The earth fire used in the Dan Hall is much worse than using fire directly, let's go, let's go in!"

Among the people around them, "Little Uncle" and "Uncle Kikyo", Lu Tao and Kikyo entered the interior of the Dan Palace, and a monk from the Medicine God Valley wearing a red shirt greeted them: "Uncle Kikyo, why are you here?"

"I want to find an empty alchemy room, is there anything else?" Kikyo asked the Cardinal in a deep voice with his hands behind his back.

"Uncle Junior, go to the underground alchemy room, the fire there is more fierce than that on this floor, with your alchemy level, it should be no problem. ”

"Hmm...... Of course no problem! Take us there!"

The cardinal monk bowed his hand to the bellflower, and by the way, he glanced at Lu Tao curiously, and began to lead the way in front, Lu Tao and the bellflower followed him, down a downward staircase, to the underground.

The underground space is composed of a straight passage and several rooms, the red iron door makes people feel a burning feeling, in fact, as soon as he came to this floor, Lu Tao felt the heat coming out of these rooms, although it is not much, with Lu Tao's current physique, he will not sweat at all because of this heat, Lu Tao is still a little surprised, the door of the room does not look thin.

"Uncle Junior, how is this room?"

"Well, this is it...... By the way, you can take down some more medicinal materials for refining Qi and Blood Pills, about three servings. ”

The Cardinal nodded, opened the door, and turned to leave.

Behind the open door was a red light, and a wave of heat rushed to the face, as if it had suddenly come from early spring to midsummer. In the middle of the room, there was a three-legged alchemy furnace surrounded by one person, and on either side of it were two smaller alchemy furnaces, and there were flames coming out from under each alchemy furnace, which dyed the inside and outside of the room orange.

Lu Tao and Kikyo walked in front of one of the small alchemy furnaces, and Kikyo pulled Lu Tao to sit down: "Let's use the small alchemy furnace, but the Blood Qi Pill doesn't need to use a big one." ”

"Good. Lu Tao agreed, looking at the alchemy furnace wrapped in a layer of red light and carved with patterns on it, Lu Tao was a little eager to try: "What are you going to do next?"

"Ahem...... I'll teach you how to control the flames first. With that, Kikyo silently recited a mantra to Lu Tao, who memorized it with his heart, and then began to practice according to the mantra.

"This is the fire control technique of the Medicine God Valley, which is much better than the fire control technique that is circulated in the scattered cultivation outside, and the speed of cultivation is not slow, it only needs to be ......."

Lu Tao opened his eyes: "Okay!

Kikyo's eyes widened: "Okay...... Alright?!"

"What's the problem?" Lu Tao looked at it suspiciously, and he felt that compared to any stealth technique, the fire control technique could not be simpler, and he could learn it only once.

“...... No problem. Kikyo said with some hesitation, and then pointed to the alchemy furnace in front of him: "You can try the effect of the fire control technique." ”

Lu Tao nodded, staring at the flame under the alchemy furnace, silently running the fire control technique in his heart, after a while, Lu Tao felt as if he had some kind of connection with the flame, and his heart moved slightly, and the flame became bigger and smaller at will with Lu Tao's mind.

Interesting!

Lu Tao was immersed in the fire control trick and couldn't extricate himself, until the knock on the door woke Lu Tao from this state, and looked behind him, it turned out that the previous cardinal monk had returned, still holding a basket containing medicinal herbs in his hand.

"Uncle Kikyo, I brought the medicinal herbs!"

Kikyo nodded: "Well, you can put it over there." ”

"Yes, little uncle!" the cardinal respectfully placed the basket containing the herbs beside him, and did not forget to close the door as he left.

Waiting for the cardinal monk to close the door, Kikyo ran over to pick up the basket, and then picked and rummaged through the medicinal herbs inside: "It looks good, Lu Tao, here you go!"

Lu Tao took the medicinal herbs: "Give it to me?"

"That's right, don't you want to learn alchemy? I'll tell you the steps, just follow the steps, the Qi and Blood Pill is very simple!"

"Really?" Lu Tao looked at the bellflower with some confusion: "Shouldn't it be that you show me first, and then I'll try again?"

"Hah...... Ha ha...... This one is too novice for me to do. Come on, I'll tell you the steps first, first, keep three points of flame, put a portion of the Gathering Spirit Grass into the alchemy furnace, and after ten breaths, wait until the Gathering Spirit Grass is completely turned into juice, and then put it in the Yuehua Grass......"

While speaking, the bellflower took out the medicinal materials corresponding to the name and showed it to Lu Tao, and Lu Tao compared his memory and matched the herbs in the book with the herbs here.

"If you don't remember it, I can say it again, especially in the control of time, every step must be very precise, not the slightest mistake. ”

Lu Tao nodded: "Don't worry, I remember everything." ”

I don't know if with the improvement of the cultivation realm, the monk's memory will also improve, the bellflower said the pill recipe for refining the pill, and Lu Tao remembered it, as if this pill was originally in Lu Tao's mind.

"Remember?!...... Well, let's try it first. ”

Lu Tao looked at the alchemy furnace nervously for seven points and three points, this was his first time alchemy, and he silently recited the steps again, Lu Tao picked out the spirit gathering grass from a pile of medicinal materials, the effect of the spirit gathering grass is the same as its name, it can gather spiritual energy from the air when it grows, and the juice formed during alchemy can coordinate the medicinal effects of other materials, and protect the herbs to maintain a relatively stable state during the refining process.

Therefore, in fact, most of the pills were first added to the refining of the spirit gathering grass, which was also mentioned in the books in the bookshelf in Lu Tao's room.

Opening the lid of the alchemy furnace, Lu Tao carefully put the spirit gathering grass into it, silently counting in his heart, and at the same time carefully controlling the size of the flame, one breath is one second, about ten seconds later, Lu Tao opened the furnace lid and threw the Yuehua grass into it.

In this way, Lu Tao kept throwing the herbs in step by step according to the steps on the Dan Fang, throwing them away, Lu Tao let out a "huh" and frowned.

Seeing Lu Tao's expression, Kikyo asked, "What's wrong?"

"It always felt like something wasn't right. Lu Tao stared at the Dan furnace suspiciously.

"It doesn't matter, the first time I refined the pill, it was always like this, even my master, I didn't succeed when I first refined the Qi and Blood Pill. Kikyo comforted, "Just remember the problem next time, and then avoid the same problem again." ”

Lu Tao nodded, but he didn't stop, in Lu Tao's feeling, the faint connection between himself and the flame seemed to extend along the flame to the alchemy furnace, and the feeling of feedback from the alchemy furnace was peaceful with anxiety, which made Lu Tao feel that something was wrong.

Therefore, this step should be to wait for fifteen breaths before putting in the next herb, but Lu Tao waited until twenty breaths - the burning feeling was a little calmer before putting it in, and then, every subsequent medicine Lu Tao treated like this, until the last medicine.

The last medicine is the shell of the long fruit, brown, only a thin layer, Lu Tao took out a copy and put it into the Dan furnace, as soon as the shell of the long fruit came into contact with the liquid in the Dan furnace, it immediately reacted, and the boiling juice lifted the lid of the furnace, making a "clang" sound.

Lu Tao: "......"

The reaction is so exaggerated...... No problem, right?

Looking back, Kikyo didn't know when he stood by the door.

"Why are you standing so far away?" Lu Tao asked.

"Haha...... It's okay, I'm just a little hot. ”

Lu Tao pursed his lips and continued to focus on the flame and the Dan furnace, and gradually, the reaction of the medicinal liquid in the Dan furnace became smaller and smaller, and the water in it quickly evaporated, steaming out along the gap between the Dan furnace and the furnace lid.

It wasn't until the movement in the Dan furnace completely disappeared that Lu Tao suppressed the flames under the Dan furnace, leaving only a shallow layer of flames.

It seems that the refining has been completed? Lu Tao opened the lid of the furnace a little nervously and looked inside, and more than a dozen round brown pills were quietly staying at the bottom of the Dan furnace.

Kikyo also came over: "How is it? I thought it was going to explode just now, but it seems that it is still fine, hahaha......"

Lu Tao: "......"

Skillfully performing the object control technique, Lu Tao fished out the more than ten pills from the Dan furnace, and the pills that had just been baked still exuded a faint smell of medicine, and there was a layer of wax-coated shell on the outside, reflecting the light in the orange light.

After the temperature cooled down, Lu Tao put these pills in his hand and handed them to Kikyo: "How about it?

Kikyo picked up one of the pills and held it in the palm of his hand and sniffed it: "Hmm...... It feels like it's a Qi and Blood Pill, but it doesn't seem to be the same as the Qi and Blood Pill I've usually seen?" As he spoke, Kikyo took out a white porcelain bottle from his pocket and poured out a pill that was also brown and placed it in the palm of his hand.

After looking at it for a while, Kikyo shook his head: "I didn't see any difference, but I didn't expect you to be able to refine Cheng Dan for the first time through alchemy...... It's incredible......! Sure enough, it's because of the Dan furnace problem?"

The last sentence Kikyo muttered quietly, but Lu Tao didn't hear it clearly.
