Chapter 9: Alchemy
The stone staircase here is very strangely repaired, each step is wavy, Li Jiang is very puzzled by this, after walking a distance of about ten zhang, they walked to the end of the stone staircase, and they had a clear view of the bottom of the crater. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
They looked around, the bottom was a fiery red, the heat wave was dozens of times that of the outside, and the ground was full of dry cracked and charred rocks, and the fissures of the rocks flowed with hot lava, forming bright red lines crisscrossing and emitting bursts of black smoke, and from time to time the cracks spewed out raging leyline fire, as if to burn all the life that came here.
In the center of these dry cracked scorched rocks, there was a circular magma pool with a radius of more than ten zhang, in which bubbling magma was tumbling, and they emitted billowing smoke, after seeing all this, Li Jiang and Lan Mao were shocked by this spectacular sight and gasped.
"It's spectacular, I've never seen such a magnificent sight, and now it's an eye-opener." Li Jiang sighed.
Lan Mao squeaked and nodded, agreeing with Li Jiang's statement.
"Hey, blue-haired, there's a reddish-glowing cone-shaped stalagmite under the north rock wall." Li Jiang, who was looking around, suddenly saw a glowing stalagmite, so he patted Lan Mao's shoulder and said.
Lan Mao listened and looked in the direction that Li Jiang said, and then pointed to the squeaky over there, which meant to ask Li Jiang to go over and take a look.
"Well, that's what I mean, let's go." Li Jiang nodded, then replied, and after saying that, he and Lan Mao ran over there.
Along the way, the two of them narrowly avoided the sudden eruption of leyline fire, while advancing, and when the two ran in front of the glowing stalagmite, Li Jiang saw it clearly and recognized it.
"Oh my God, it's the essence of the leylines! I've seen this stuff in a book of hides! This thing is very precious, and it must be in the place where there is a strong power of the earth's leylines, and it will take more than 500 years to conceive one.
This thing is the essence of the leyline, containing the pure power of earth fire, and it is the treasure of the fire element cultivated by the Linghui sorcerer, with which you can turn the ordinary flame that contains the power of heaven and earth into a terrifying earth fire that contains the power of heaven and earth, which is ten times more powerful than ordinary flames, and can also be made into a fire attribute witch treasure that contains earth fire.
Haha, I didn't expect that there are a lot of treasures in this Earth Flame Peak, this time I Li Jiang is worth it, haha!! Li Jiang said excitedly, and laughed happily at the end.
"It's so weird, did this kid fall into a manure tank recently and not drown? Generally, only people who do not die in great calamities will have this kind of unfortunate luck. The blue hair on the side looked at Li Jiang with an incredible expression and thought.
"By the way, I'm ready to refine the pill, I want to find a place where I can breathe fire for a long time, so as to ensure that the fire in the land will not be extinguished before the pill is refined, come to Lanmao, look for it with me." After Li Jiang stopped laughing, he remembered the main purpose of coming here, and he said to Lan Mao.
Seeing that Li Jiang suddenly turned around and spoke to it, Lan Mao immediately put on a smiling face, and smiled and nodded in agreement, so they began to look for it carefully.
After dozens of breaths, the emperor finally lived up to his wishes, and the two of them found a suitable place.
This place is located in the south of the magma pool, it is a place with dense ground fire, it has four fire vents, and it is a round of fire, of which each earth fire can last for about a minute, just enough to meet Li Jiang's requirements.
"That's it, Lan Mao, I still have to trouble you to find something to eat with me during my alchemy." Li Jiang said, Lan Mao nodded when he heard this, and then left.
"Before this alchemy, I have to do a test to see if the stone medicine bowl can withstand a high temperature fire source like earth fire, otherwise it will waste my expression." Not long after Lan Mao left, Li Jiang looked at the alchemy site he had chosen and thought, after thinking about it, he immediately took out the stone medicine bowl from the medicine frame behind him, pulled the stone medicine stick of Zhong Yao out of the medicine bowl stone cover, and then put it on the fire for testing.
At this moment, Li Jiang was very nervous staring at the medicine bowl that was burning on the fire, and he was silently muttering words like Wuzu blessing in his heart, and time was constantly flying by under such circumstances.
In a flash, a few hours passed, and the surface of the stone medicine bowl was nothing abnormal except for being scorched and blackened by the earth's fire.
"Doesn't seem like there's a problem? Well, I'll kick it aside and check it out. Li Jiang looked at the stone medicine bowl on the earth fire and thought, after thinking about it, he took advantage of the fact that there was no intermission of spitting fire when the earth fire was converted, and kicked the stone medicine bowl out of the range of erupting earth fire with a speed that was not up to his ears with lightning speed.
The stone medicine bowl rolled to the ground not far from the breath mouth and spun in place, Li Jiang also walked quickly in front of the stone medicine bowl, he felt the bone dagger on his waist and squatted down, and then used the bone dagger instead of his hand, rolling the stone medicine bowl to examine it carefully.
"Well, there are no signs of burning from the outside, I'm opening the lid and looking out from the inside." Li Jiang thought after carefully looking outside, and after thinking about it, he picked up the stone cover with a bone dagger.
At this time, a very hot current of heat poured out from the stone medicine bowl, but Li Jiang, who had the power of heaven and earth to protect his body, was unaware, he lowered his head and stared at the stone medicine bowl with all his attention, and after twenty breaths, he finally made sure that the stone medicine bowl was intact.
"Haha, it's intact, you can start preparing to refine the witch pill." Li Jiang thought happily, and after thinking about it, he took out the herbs and stone grinders from the medicine frame on his back, and then hummed a little song and grinded the herbs.
In this way, Li Jiang began the first alchemy process in his life.
After a short period of effort, Li Jiang grinded out enough medicinal liquid to refine the witch pill once into the stone bowl, "Okay, let's start." Li Jiang held the stone medicine bowl in both hands, looked at the liquid medicine inside and said excitedly, after speaking, he covered the medicine bowl stone cover, seized the gap between the two flamethrowers to stop the fire, and put the stone medicine bowl on the flamevent at an almost lightning speed.
As soon as the stone medicine bowl was placed, a raging fire erupted from the flamevent, "Hehe, according to the alchemy process I saw last time, I calculated that it would take an hour to refine a finished Wu Dan, so I'll wait quietly." Li Jiang flattered his palms happily and looked at the stone medicine bowl on the fire and thought.
In the next time, Li Jiang waited patiently, during which Lan Mao came back, it found some wild fruits on the Earth Flame Peak, Li Jiang and Lan Mao ate a little together, after eating, Lan Mao went to sit on the stone ladder, held his head in his hands, and slept with his back against the corner, while Li Jiang continued to wait for the success of Wu Dan refining in this boring situation.
ā¦ā¦
Time continued to fly by, and an hour finally arrived, "Haha, it's finally time!" Li Jiang said happily, after speaking, he calculated the intermittent ceasefire time when the earth fire was converted, and gently kicked the stone medicine bowl to the side of the flamevent.
"Haha, I'm looking forward to it, my beloved Wu Dan baby, I'll take you out, haha." Li Jiang walked up to the stone medicine bowl and talked to himself happily, while he took out a bone dagger and squatted down and opened the stone lid of the medicine bowl.
"Huh!? This smell is ......" As soon as the stone cover was opened, there was a burnt smell coming out of it, and Li Jiang said in surprise.
"Huh!! Scorched!? How so!? Is it because the temperature of the earth fire is too turbulent!? Li Jiang looked at a scorched black pill inside and said with annoyance.
"Yes, it must be that the buried fire here is too vigorous, I remember that the alchemy process I saw was that the flame used was not so strong, it was medium fire." Li Jiang suddenly realized.
"Well...... How can we overcome this problem? Kindness...... The fire is too fierce, uh...... Ay! Wouldn't it be nice if I adjusted the refining time! Haha, I'm so smart! Li Jiang pondered and said, and finally he thought of a way with a flash of inspiration in his mind.
So Li Jiang took out the herbs and grinded them into a stone medicine bowl again, and started the second attempt, this time Li Jiang decided to shorten the time to more than half an hour.
More than half an hour later......
Li Jiang's pill was scorched again this time, and he stomped his feet angrily and said, "Ah~~~~~!! Still no, it seems that the control of time is still not precise enough, okay, I'll do my best with you! If it doesn't work twice, I'll do it three times! If it doesn't work three times, I'll come four times! Anyway, until I refine you! āć
After Li Jiang finished speaking, he continued to repeat the process of alchemy, and time flew by again in Li Jiang's experiment, during this time Li Jiang experienced countless failures, and the herbs were slowly consumed by Li Jiang, and finally Li Jiang had to go outside again with Lan Mao to pick herbs and come back to continue his experiment.
Slowly, a day passed, and the sleepless Li Jiang failed and failed, picking and picking herbs, which made his frustration more and more intense, but he was not discouraged, and he kept cheering himself up in his heart: "Don't be discouraged, this is the legendary Wu Dan, it's not as simple as imagined, if it's so easy to refine, it won't be called Wu Dan, continue to experiment...... Go on...... Come on...... Come on...... Strive to ......"
In this way, the time was in Li Jiang's undiscouraged experiment to the next day, at this time Li Jiang was already haggard, he scratched his hair that had already been scratched messily by himself and yelled: "Ah~~~~~~~!! Failed countless times! I'm going crazy!! How accurate is the time to be before it can be refined!! Yes~~~~!!! Yes~~~~~!!! ā
"Hey~~~~ Pitiful." Lan Mao, who was sitting on the stone stairs with his back against the mountain wall, looked at Li Jiang in collapse with a sympathetic expression, thinking.
"I've experimented for so many hours, and I haven't tried it in the last few hours, so I'm about to succeed, and I'm going to be motivated!!" Li Jiang, who was in a collapse, hammered his head to keep his emotions calm, and then gritted his teeth and said, after speaking, he took out the herb again and grinded it, ready to continue the experiment.
