Chapter 550: Opening the Furnace
Sanqing Mountain, Jade Everest Peak. ,!
At this time, it is already the peak season of tourism, Sanqing Mountain people come and go, every day to usher in a large number of passing tourists, but the backyard of Sanqing Taoist Temple is extremely quiet, there is no hustle and bustle of tourist Jingshan.
Yichenzi and Dakong were very happy about Shi Zhong's arrival, and Shi Zhong introduced his subordinates to the two of them, and Ji Pinglang was stunned, and the three of them had already been ordered by Shi Zhong, and they were respectful.
"Shizun, this dog" Dakong's eyes fell on the white whirlwind at the foot of the stone bell.
Shi Zhong said with a smile: "Master, this is the Tibetan mastiff I raised from the grassland, a purebred snow mastiff!" ”
Dakong was excited, there was a feeling of old tears, looking at the white whirlwind and couldn't take his eyes off, and finally said: "Amitabha, the mastiff king from the snowy mountain, the little monk is polite!" As he spoke, he actually saluted the white whirlwind, which made everyone stunned.
Shi Zhong was surprised by the poison in Dakong's eyes, and he suddenly saw the origin of the white whirlwind, thinking about the two Tibetan lions in his temple, he was relieved, Dakong was born in the prairie, and he was naturally extremely familiar with the snow mastiff that was regarded as a sacred beast in the courtyard, and there was a huge snow mastiff in the temple where he practiced.
"Woohoo!"
The white whirlwind shouted twice at Dakong, as if he knew that Dakong was talking to it just now.
Yichenzi stared at Shi Zhong directly, and it wasn't until Shi Zhong's heart was furious that Yichenzi nodded: "Not bad, not bad, full of energy, there is no sign of exhaustion, junior brother, you are really a genius of cultivation for thousands of years, I am afraid that your future achievements will overshadow all the predecessors in history." ”
Shi Zhong smiled shyly: "Senior brother has won the prize, and he has been on the road all morning, I don't know if senior brother has eaten here?" ”
"Lao Dao has already arranged a feast, just wait for the junior brother to take a seat!" Yichenzi smiled and made a gesture of please.
Ji Heilang has always been honest, and as soon as he heard what he was eating, his eyes immediately lit up: "Feast? Aha, it's been a long time since I've had a full meal! ”
Today's lunch, Yichenzi specially instructed the kitchen to add vegetables and rice, and those Taoist priests who really followed Yichenzi in the Taoist temple could not eat such a sumptuous lunch for a month, and the arrival of his cheap uncle could be described as a welcome to him.
Looking at those smiling faces, Shi Zhong touched his nose, when did he become so popular?
said that it was a meal with vegetables, but in fact it was still some vegetarian food, and the cooking skills of the royal chef who seemed to be dusty were not commendable, Shi Zhong was okay, and it was not the first time he had eaten it, but he was pitiful and had to follow Shi Zhong to Sanqing Mountain with a dead face, Ji Pinglang and Da were stunned, and swallowed bitterly under Shi Zhong's fierce eyes.
"Boss, these vegetarian dishes are so delicious!" The second stunned said such a sentence, which almost made Tokuyoshi Heiro and Da stunned vomit blood.
After the meal, Shi Zhong told his three subordinates to let them go to the scenic spot by themselves, and they were not allowed to cause trouble, and he followed Yichenzi to the back mountain with a black and white whirlwind.
When he came to the back mountain, Yichenzi pointed to the rock wall in front of him and said: "Senior brother, there is a stone cave there, which can accommodate the volume of more than a dozen people, which is very in line with your requirements, but, why hasn't Lao Dao heard that alchemy needs to be sheltered from the wind and sun?" Decades ago, with the first master's fight, the first master just set up a shed on the dojo to block the rain, besides, this alchemy is to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, you are hiding in a cave, but where are you absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon? ”
Approaching the rock wall, Shi Zhong glanced at the stone cave in front of him, about five meters deep, enough, and listened to Yichenzi's question, so he said: "Senior brother misunderstood, now it is different from the past, now Sanqing Mountain is a world-class scenic spot, although this is a back mountain, there will be tourists rushing in, if it is swaggering in the open space alchemy, it is not good!" ”
"It's hard for my junior brother to think so thoughtfully!" Yichenzi nodded, and then said, "When the old Dao of the Danlu received your call yesterday, he had already let people carry it in, and some fuel was also prepared, but, you have prepared this medicinal herb yourself?" ”
Shi Zhong patted the suitcase in his hand and said with a smile: "Naturally, the preparations are complete, if you are lucky enough to refine the elixir, you must honor your senior brother." ”
"Hehe, then the old way will wait and see!" Yichenzi smiled, looked at the black and white whirlwind playing on the side, and hesitated, "Do you want this dog to take back to the front yard, if they run to the front mountain, I'm afraid of accidents!" ”
Shi Zhongdao: "No need, the two of them are human, and they are very well-behaved!" ”
"In this way, Lao Dao is relieved!"
Yichenzi left, and the stone bell invited a black and white whirlwind, explaining that they were not allowed to run to a crowded place, nor were they allowed to enter this cave, and then walked into the stone cave, which was quite wide and clean, it seems that the senior brother made someone clean it, and there was a stone pier inside, a Dan furnace, and a gas stove.
Shi Zhong waved his hand, except for the stone pier left, the others were all put into the space ring, replaced by the copper tripod covered with the tripod lid, and then spread out the suitcase, took out the medicinal materials in the space ring, and sorted them out.
This time he plans to refine Pei Yuan Dan, since Xue Shan got the two prescriptions, Shi Zhong has been studying them, Rui Xue Dan is a healing elixir, he is not in urgent need, and Pei Yuan Dan, which can increase vitality, is what Shi Zhong is pursuing.
When everything was ready, Shi Zhong's face added a trace of solemnity, and he came to the edge of the copper tripod, and his palm was aimed at the live mouth at the bottom of the copper tripod, and the dantian qi mass in his body flowed, and immediately, the palm was hot
"Poof!"
A blazing white flame rose out of the mouth of the carved dragon in the dinggai, and there was a momentum of surging out of the copper tripod, like an arrogant and unruly wild horse, in an instant, the temperature in the stone cave rose several degrees, fortunately, the physique of the stone bell was not very human, and it was not affected much.
Shi Zhong actually planned to use Dan Huo to refine Dan, and this difficulty would be much higher, after all, the consumption of Dan Huo Dao power was extremely huge, and with Shi Zhong's current cultivation, it could only support five or six hours without stopping. As for alchemy, I have never heard of anything less than seven days, however, Shi Zhong has his own plans, the better the quality of the flame and the better the quality of the elixir refined, there is no doubt that the critical moment is supported by the Danhuo, and the other moments of cultivation are supported by ordinary flames.
Shi Zhong's eyes stared closely at the beating white flame, the purple mansion opened widely, and he used the power of his divine soul to perceive, and soon, the violent Danhuo slowly tame, like a tamed good horse, for Shi Zhong to control.
When the flame was completely controlled by himself, Shi Zhong led it with one hand, and in the suitcase he opened, a wild ginseng plant was in Shi Zhong's hand, which was a century-old wild ginseng obtained from the last auction in the capital, as for the small branch of nearly a thousand years of wild ginseng Shi Zhong that Shimen treasured was useless, first of all, Pei Yuandan did not need to use such good medicinal materials, and secondly, for the sake of insurance.
With his fingers, he made a cutting motion at the wild ginseng, and a third of the wild ginseng fell like a knife cut, and then was thrown into the mouth of the dragon on the lid by the stone bell.
It's not the first time that Shi Zhong has made alchemy, and his cultivation has improved, so he is familiar with the refining of medicinal materials, even so, he doesn't dare to be careless, I don't know how many people are just careless.
Carefully control the flame, under the control of the mind, hundreds of thousands of degrees of flame did not let the copper medicine tripod go, the copper tripod doped with some special temperature-resistant materials can be understood, but the lid is made of ordinary copper, more than a thousand temperatures are enough to make it liquid.
It can be seen how precisely the stone bell controls the flames.
The one-third of the wild ginseng churned in the flames for a while, and finally began to gradually take off the medicinal skin, and the impurities attached to the surface of the medicinal skin were instantly refined by the flames and expelled by the special settings in the copper tripod.
Under the right flame temperature, the wild ginseng sublimated into a little white powder, which is the essence of the one-third of the wild ginseng.
With the taste of medicinal herbs thrown into the copper tripod by the stone bell, the essence of various medicinal materials was packed into the small porcelain bottle that had been prepared by the stone bell.
Some medicinal materials were refined into powder, while some medicinal materials were viscous liquid, and soon, the suitcase was full of bottles and jars, and in one afternoon, Shi Zhong refined 30 kinds of medicinal materials, and these thirty kinds of medicinal materials were only half of the medicinal materials needed by Pei Yuan Dan.
Shi Zhong's original intention was to refine it in one go, but he was too confident, the refining of 30 kinds of medicinal materials, at least 18 kinds of medicinal materials were wasted, alchemy, even if the control was good, it was inevitable that there would be mistakes, not to mention a rookie like Shi Zhong.
The Dao Qi in the dantian is more consumed than he imagined, at this time, the Dao Qi in his body has been exhausted, and the meridians of the whole body are sore and numb, as if ordinary people have carried out strenuous exercise, Shi Zhong scolded in a low voice, cultivated a little to return to qi, and then put the suitcase and copper tripod into the space ring, released the Dan furnace gas stove prepared by the senior brother, and then walked out of the stone cave.
At this time, it is already seven o'clock, although it is already July, but because it is on the top of the mountain, the temperature is not high, if the average person is wearing a thin shirt, it is estimated that it may catch a cold.
Suddenly, there was a childish roar from the jungle ahead, and then a black shadow rushed out, followed by a white shadow and ran in front of Shi Zhong.
Seeing that the black whirlwind was holding a huge hare in its mouth, showing off in front of Shi Zhong like a treasure, Shi Zhong smiled: "Who caught this hare?" ”
"Woohoo!"
The white whirlwind opened its mouth and shouted, and the black whirlwind stopped doing it when he saw this, and his mouth opened and shouted, its voice was a little thicker than the white whirlwind, and it was more penetrating. However, the white whirlwind was not afraid in the slightest, picked up the hare on the ground, and trotted to the feet of the stone bell.
When the black whirlwind saw that his prey was snatched away, where would he do it, he pounced on the white whirlwind is claw, and made the white whirlwind a rolling gourd.
"Whew"
The white whirlwind let go of the hare on his mouth, lowered his head, brushed the white hair on his body, and a low voice gushed out of his mouth, with a little majesty.
The black whirlwind was already 80 centimeters tall at this time, where would he be afraid of the young white whirlwind, but with the low roar of the white whirlwind, the black whirlwind opened its mouth and roared as if it had encountered a great enemy.
The roar of the two dogs was like thunder, and Shi Zhong hurriedly separated the two guys, saving them from fighting.
Although the Black Whirlwind is huge, it is clearly different from the White Whirlwind, that is, the head and limbs, and the White Whirlwind has the head and limbs of a lion. The Black Whirlwind's head is pointy, and its limbs are thicker than those of a normal canine, but they are not as thick as its body. (To be continued)
