Chapter 4: The Human Furnace
Yu Xiudan didn't come out again after closing the door, except for being sure that he was not dead, he didn't know anything else.
Lu Yaoxiang continued to take care of the alchemy room, and suddenly found that he didn't seem to see Lu Xiaoding for three days. She didn't bother to look for it, that guy wouldn't run far, at most, she realized that she had done something bad and found a place to cry.
The only public furnace room in Yunjian Gate was built by cutting half of the top of Zhishang Peak and then digging a cave in the mountain wall. The cave attracted earth fire, and a nine-story alchemy furnace pit was built along the rock wall.
It's like a big kitchen, one by one the alchemy furnaces are placed in the furnace pit, just check the amount of fire and the situation of the pill. Each sect is refining low-grade pills in this way, which can greatly increase the number of pills.
The disciples of Zhichu Hall have to take turns to pull out people every day, and the working time is only one hour per day, which is very easy.
Lu Yaoxiang counted the time, there were almost two furnaces of pills to come out, so he planned to wait to take the pills away. When she walked to the corner of the eighth row of furnace pits, she suddenly noticed that something was wrong, the alchemy furnace on the far right pit was very large, not the usual size.
She stared at the Dan furnace that had been clearly placed for a long time, and the lower part was burned red, and the more she looked at it, the more familiar it became. Isn't this the furnace that Xiao Ding is carrying wherever he goes? For what will be here!
No, Xiao Ding has never left the furnace, and now she has been burning on the top of the furnace pit for so long, is she ......
Looking at the tightly covered lid, Lu Yaoxiang stood in place in a daze, feeling a little messy in his mind. She didn't dare to imagine that Lu Xiaoding would put himself in the Ding on the furnace pit because he ate the master's spirit grass!
Could it be that she felt that she could refine the elixir by eating the spirit grass and putting it in the furnace, so she did such a stupid thing? Ordinary people wouldn't do this, how could they be able to refine the elixir!
Lu Yaoxiang took a step back, and suddenly thought that others might not do such a thing, but Lu Xiaoding may not be. That guy only has one soul and two souls, and he's a complete idiot!
This is really unacceptable, the junior sister actually committed suicide in the furnace, and the way of death is too strange. She looked up and looked around a little dazedly, there were only ten disciples of the Zhichu Hall in the entire cave who were helping, and no one looked at her at this time. If it is rumored, it will definitely be said that the people of the medicine hall are extremely stupid, and the master will also bear the notoriety of forcing the medicine boy to death, Xiao Ding is really dead and will not let people live in peace.
Suddenly, the lid of the furnace was lifted up, and Lu Xiaoding's head poked out, and his upper body was lying on the edge of the tripod and shouted: "It's burning me, why didn't you find it so hot here before!" ”
Lu Yaoxiang looked at her with a horrified expression, then reacted, and shouted at her hot ears: "You stupid, what the hell are you doing!" ”
"Senior sister, my ears hurt so much, don't talk about it." Lu Xiaoding grinned, quickly reached out to cover his ears, and touched Lu Yaoxiang's hand, which directly burned the senior sister and retracted her hand.
"Get out of here, you're looking for death inside! I've never seen a person like you, thinking that carrying a furnace on your back all day long is a Dan furnace? I actually ran into the furnace to refine, do you want to refine the adult pill! Lu Yaoxiang scolded anxiously, almost angry with her.
Lu Xiaoding pouted, and before he could even explain, he was scolded fiercely. She could only crawl out of the furnace, only to find that the clothes on her body had long been burned to ashes by the fire, and her whole body was naked.
"You just want to me off, why didn't you burn you into a leper dog!" When Lu Yaoxiang saw it, she had to quickly take out a piece of clothing and put it on her body. As soon as the clothes were draped on his body, he heard a sizzling sound, and smoke came out directly.
It's too hot, isn't it?
Seeing that it was not good, Lu Yaoxiang couldn't care about the hot hands, so he jumped off the eight-story furnace pit with Lu Xiaoding on his shoulder. She hadn't cultivated, so she didn't fall to the ground and her legs were broken directly, and Xiao Ding also rolled on her to the ground.
"Senior sister, what are you doing!" Lu Xiaoding was frightened, looking at Lu Yaoxiang, whose hands and shoulders were burned, and her legs that were twisted by the fall, she was so frightened that she reached out and wanted to help her. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he thought that his whole body was very hot, and helping her would continue to burn her, so he stood up and ran to the corner with a few water tanks.
But at this time, she was far away from the stove that was placed on it, and her whole body suddenly became weak, and she staggered with smoke all over her body and wanted to walk over, but she seemed very weak and would tip over at any time.
The ten disciples of Zhichu Hall looked at the two of them in horror, completely unaware of what was going on. In the blink of an eye, one of the two medicine boys in the medicine hall fell to the unknown of life and death, and the other was directly burned by the fire.
Just as they were about to rush over to save people, Lu Yaoxiang, who was lying on the ground as if she had died, suddenly jumped up, flew out like a carp, and hit Lu Xiaoding hard. With a bang, Lu Xiaoding was knocked into the water tank, directly smashed a large water tank, and was drenched in water.
With a sizzle, a large cloud of water vapor rose from her body, and the hot fire was extinguished.
"Senior sister! Don't scare me! Lu Xiaoding crawled out of the broken cylinder, threw himself at Lu Yaoxiang's side, hugged her in his arms and cried loudly.
Lu Yaoxiang slowly opened his eyes and said fiercely: "If you die again, I won't care about you!" After saying that, she passed out directly.
Lu Xiaoding, who was scared half to death, cried so much, "Senior sister, I don't dare anymore." Don't scare me, don't die! ”
She hugged Lu Yaoxiang tightly, but the disciples of Zhichutang hurriedly knocked on Yu Xiudan's door, and after calling out the hall master, she snatched Lu Yaoxiang out of her arms and sent her to the room for treatment.
Lu Xiaoding was wearing burnt clothes, standing outside Lu Yaoxiang's door nervously, her furnace had already been dragged over, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to come to the gate.
After a long while, she saw Master coming out of it, and she quickly greeted her and asked eagerly, "Master, how is Senior Sister?" ”
Yu Xiudan looked at her deeply, sighed and said, "Xiaoding, what are you doing?" ”
"Master, I just want you to be happy, and I want Senior Sister to be able to go to the Zhichu Hall to study. I didn't know that Lu Dao would become like this, if I had known that Lu Dao would be like this, I would definitely tell my senior sister in advance and ask her not to touch me. Lu Xiaoding lowered his head and didn't dare to look at his master, and asked in fear: "Master, is she dead?" ”
"No, she was burned on both hands and behind her shoulders, and after jumping from the eighth-story furnace pit, she couldn't bear it because she didn't cultivate, and her legs were broken. But even if she is fatal, I have already dealt with the burns, and my leg has been picked up, but I can't go down to the ground until my leg bones have grown. Yu Xiudan looked at Lu Xiaoding and really had nothing to say to her.
He always remembered that when he found the black iron tripod, the lid was suddenly lifted up, revealing an innocent smiling face from inside. His eyes were as clear as crystal, and he whispered to himself, "Are you the one who came to subdue me?" ”
Now that I think about it, I can't subdue her at all!
Looking up at the mountains in the distance, Yu Xiudan said sadly: "Are you sent down by Heaven to destroy the Cloud Sword Gate?" ”
"Master, don't say such incomprehensible words, you can quickly take this and eat it." Lu Xiaoding stretched out his palm without hearing it, and raised it high and directly under his chin.
didn't even want to listen to the words properly, Yu Xiudan was really angry, and reached out and slapped the things in her hand. But when something passed in front of his eyes and a scent wafted through his nose, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed another one.
When he looked at it, he was stunned. In his hand is a green pill the size of a dragon's eye, with a white cloud pattern on it, the whole pill exudes a faint light, and the rich medicinal fragrance comes to the face, isn't this the five-grade ascending elixir!
"This! What's going on! Yu Xiudan looked at the medicine in his hand dumbfounded, and after the ecstasy, it was inexplicable, which was too strange!
Lu Xiaoding pointed to the distance and said, "Master, there is another one that was knocked away by you." ”
"What!" Yu Xiudan jumped up at once, and rushed out of the city, rushing straight in the direction she was pointing. I actually beat the ascending elixir away, and with two ascending elixirs, no matter how you can advance to the golden pill stage!
Looking at the master who had forgotten to use his divine sense and was wandering around in the grass looking for the elixir of ascension, Lu Xiaoding felt that the master had become strange. Usually it's not like this, and I won't be in a hurry when I encounter anything, but now it's like robbing a monkey.
"Are you so happy?" She muttered and shook her head, and went into Lu Yaoxiang's room to see how her senior sister was doing.
Lu Yaoxiang had already taken the medicine, took the Healing Pill, and was now asleep. Lu Xiaoding gently put Ding down, and wanted to walk over to take a good look at her, but just two steps ago, the door was slammed open, and Yu Xiudan rushed in with an amazing momentum.
He pinched two ascending elixirs in his hand, grabbed her and asked excitedly, "Xiao Ding, how did you get these two ascending elixirs!" ”
Yu Xiudan was so excited, and when he picked up such a strange child as Lu Xiaoding, it was also because he felt that she was different. Only a child with one soul and two souls who is not dead and does not leave Ding is simply an outlier. Everyone often travels to pick up leaks, pick up these treasures that fall in various places, even if it is a remnant or something, it is also a kind of chance.
"I practiced it." Lu Xiaoding didn't tell a lie, she honestly admitted it.
Yu Xiudan frowned and said, "How did you practice?" ”
"Senior sister said that the master has never refined such a high-grade elixir, and his level and cultivation are not high, and eighty percent of them will fail, so he will die in more than a year at most. I don't want Master to die, so I want to help Master refine this elixir. Lu Xiaoding preached seriously.
Lu Yaoxiang speaks straight and ugly, can't this problem be changed? Yu Xiudan directly skipped the words that his level was not high, and he just wanted to hear how to refine the pill.
Lu Xiaoding smiled and said, "I chewed all the spiritual grass I could get, mixed it together and put it in the furnace, and then used the ground fire in the kang pit to refine it." Didn't the Dan Fang say that it would take three days to practice, today I saw that the time was about the same, and I heard that if I put the soul into the pill, it would be refined well, so I jumped in, and sure enough, it was refined. ”
"Soul?" Somehow, when she heard her say that she had chewed all the spirit grass, Yu Xiudan suddenly felt a little sick to her stomach. It's just that he can't think of it, where did he write that he was going to add a soul when he was alchemy?
"It's written here, Master, look." Lu Xiaoding took out a book of alchemy beginners from his senior sister's cabinet, opened the last page and pointed to it.
Yu Xiudan looked at it, and it was indeed written to join the soul, but it was said that it was the machine spirit. The furnace has the soul of the instrument, and the Dan will be successful.
