Chapter 111: Refining the Soul Returning Pill
"I am willing to let the lord of the city dispose of it. "Now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, Bai Dongqing can't show his cowardice, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of the city lord and be even more detrimental to the progress of the plan.
Seeing that Bai Dongqing readily agreed, the city lord dispelled a trace of concern, but he was still ready to test it.
Therefore, he groaned and said: "This matter is very important, it is related to the life of the dog, don't blame me for being too cautious, answer me truthfully a few questions!"
Bai Dongqing responded solemnly, "Please speak." ”
"One, as a Dan Master, why doesn't he have his own Dan Furnace? Second, what materials do you need to refine the Soul Returning Pill in addition to the poisonous moth Tiancao?Third, since you are sure of refining the Soul Returning Pill, why do you need a letter of recommendation from the Dan Master?" The city lord's eyes were like torches, staring directly at Bai Dongqing, waiting for Bai Dongqing's next reaction.
Having read countless people, he is confident that what Bai Dongqing said is true or false.
After a little hesitation, Bai Dongqing said aloud: "I'll answer your second question first, in addition to the poisonous moth heavenly grass, refining the Soul Returning Pill also needs to be supplemented with Juyang grass, dragon cordata, cockscomb blood, cinnabar, and a little incense burner ash.
As for why I don't have a Dan furnace, it is because I have lived in seclusion in the mountains and wilderness all the year round, followed the master to learn Danshu, and now that I have learned something, I hope to go to Taiyi College to become a qualified Dan master and be recognized by the world. Now, by chance, I heard that the city lord is also a Danshi, so I dared to come. ”
Bai Dongqing can be said to have carefully considered every word, except for the Danfang of the Soul Returning Pill, which is not bad, the rest are all made up casually.
But Bai Dongqing, who has experienced a hundred battles, has long been proficient in lying and blinding, and after a while, the city lord hesitated on his face.
Seeing Bai Dongqing's face, it didn't seem to be a fake, but the city lord was sophisticated, and at the beginning, he spread his sense and noticed that Bai Dongqing had a fierce aura that was different from ordinary people.
For the secluded mountains and forests in Bai Dongmu's mouth, it is naturally unconvincing.
After pondering for a long time, the city lord suddenly laughed, "Haha, you have such an achievement at a young age, and it will be immeasurable in the future." Little brother, don't worry, as long as you succeed in refining the Soul Returning Pill, I will not be able to treat you badly. ”
Imperceptibly, the city lord's attitude changed subtly. No matter what Bai Dongqing's identity is, he is willing to take the risk and try it.
"Okay, but the rest of the materials still need to be provided by the city lord. Bai Dongqing said embarrassedly.
Except for the poisonous moth and the grass in these things, the rest were ordinary materials, so the city lord waved his hand indifferently: "This is natural! Come, take the two distinguished guests to the guest room in the mansion for a short rest, and I will order someone to send the required materials over later." ”
Xue Lian looked at Bai Dongqing and blinked her big eyes, with an expression of wanting to speak and stopping. Bai Dongqing immediately understood, and said softly: "We still have a few friends waiting outside the house..."
"You don't need to worry, I will order your friend to be put in place. ”
"So hard-working..."
In an antique room, Bai Dongqing's face was solemn, "You promise others like this, how sure are you that the refining will be successful?"
The Soul Returning Pill is an extremely out-of-line pill, although the level of the pill is not high, but it is also extremely difficult to refine, and the slightest carelessness will cause the fryer.
"Fifty percent. Sword Spirit said casually and lightly.
At this moment, Bai Dongqing was furious, opened his mouth and scolded: "Fifty percent sure that you will casually agree to others? What if you mess up?"
Sword Spirit sneered and said disdainfully, "Otherwise, you have a way to get a letter of recommendation?"
Bai Dongqing was speechless, and said hatefully: "There is only one poisonous moth Tiancao, if it fails, we will not have any good fruit to eat." ”
"Don't worry, with me guiding you, it's not a big problem. The sword voice was leisurely.
In the wing room, Bai Dongqing took a nap, and the door was knocked on. Bai Dongqing opened his eyes and said quietly, "Come in." ”
Hearing the sound, the visitor pushed the door lightly, entered several subordinates, and sent in several wooden boxes, large and small.
In the end, the two of them struggled to carry a one-person-high Dan furnace into the room.
"Your Excellency, everything you need is here, please take a look. ”
Bai Dongqing waved his hand, and the subordinates quietly retreated when they saw this.
Bai Dongqing paced back and forth around the one-person-tall Dan furnace, and there was a clear emotion on his face.
There's excitement, there's excitement, there's a hint of apprehension.
This is the first time Bai Dongqing has ever come into contact with alchemy, and he is still a little nervous in his heart.
Regarding alchemy, Bai Dongqing can be said to know nothing except for the little theory he learned from the sword spirit.
Just as he was about to start preparing according to the instructions of the Sword Spirit, the Cloud Piercing City Lord came uninvited, with a faint smile on his face.
"The contemptible people are fortunate to meet noble people today, and they are especially cheeky to come here to observe and learn from the experience. ”
That being said, Bai Dongqing's heart was bright. The Cloud Piercing City Lord must still be at ease, so he found such an excuse.
Bai Dongqing knew that if he was persuaded to leave, it would inevitably arouse his suspicion, so he said with a smile: "The city lord is polite, but my alchemy method is different from ordinary people, if the city lord is interested, he can naturally leave a correction." ”
The Cloud Piercing City Lord smiled slightly and made a gesture of please.
Bai Dongqing calmed down, and according to the prompts of the sword spirit, he sorted and placed all kinds of materials in different categories, and then began to prepare for alchemy.
The conventional alchemy method requires that the furnace be heated first, and then the medicinal materials are thrown into the furnace one by one when the temperature of the furnace rises.
However, this conventional alchemy method requires the assistance of a huge amount of spiritual power to ensure that the medicinal materials are not destroyed by the burning fire.
But Bai Dongqing has no spiritual power in his body for a long time, and now he has to find another way, secretly mobilizing the essence blood of the three dragons in his body, and slowly converging it on his right palm.
The three intertwined flames danced back and forth in his hand, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Bai Dongqing followed the instructions of the sword spirit, patted the furnace wall with his palm, and suddenly the three-colored flames seemed to encounter hot oil, and instantly wrapped the entire Dan furnace.
In the room, the Cloud Piercing City Lord's eyes lit up, and he secretly screamed in his heart. Although he didn't know what the flame in Bai Dongqing's hand was, at this time, the beautiful alchemy picture was reflected in his eyes, and the city lord couldn't help but take a look.
Bai Dongqing's spirit was highly concentrated, his heart was free of distractions, and he only had the Dan furnace wrapped in flames in his eyes.
The dragon's blood fire was endless, and soon the Dan furnace was burned red, and there was a stabbing sound from time to time in the Dan furnace, as if it was about to explode.
A thick incomprehension flashed in the eyes of the Cloud Piercing City Lord, generally speaking, they are trying their best to control the heat to avoid the Dan furnace from burning red, but now Bai Dongqing is doing the opposite, which makes the Cloud Piercing City Lord feel inexplicably worried.
"Put Juyang grass first, then put H. cordata and burn until the herb turns into powder!"
Sword Spirit whispered.
Bai Dongqing followed the instructions and threw the herbs into the red-hot Dan furnace step by step.
As soon as the herbs were put into the furnace, there was a soft sound, accompanied by a puff of black smoke floating out of the furnace.
The sword took a sip, "Stupid, the fire is bigger, it's smaller!"
Thanks to this, Juyang Grass and Holderyntuynia are not too precious herbs, so they have prepared a lot at this time, which can be tried by Bai Dongqing many times.
"Stupid, the fire is small again, you have to learn to use mental power to control the fire..."
...
As Bai Dongqing continued to fail, the fine beads of sweat on his forehead kept seeping out. Bai Dongqing's mouth was dry, and he was faintly impatient.
"Don't worry, just calm down. ”
After witnessing Bai Dongqing's mistakes a few times, the face of the Cloud Piercing City Lord slowly sank, and his eyes looked at Bai Dongqing's back gloomily, not knowing what he was thinking.
After several attempts, Bai Dongqing gradually mastered the heat, and after burning the dragon cordata and the sungrass into powder, the sword spirit said solemnly: "The next step is a crucial step, don't miss it..."
Bai Dongqing nodded seriously and concentrated all his energy on the Dan furnace.
"Put the poisonous moth Amakusa in it, wait for a breath, and then pour in the cockscomb blood to mix it. ”
"Understood. Bai Dongqing comprehended, and carefully threw the poisonous moth Tiancao into the Dan furnace, and after a breath, the action was quickly drenched in the blood of the cockscomb.
The powders of the three herbs are fused together with the cockscomb blood to form a thick flow.
"Then came the critical moment for Cheng Dan. Sword Spirit said in a condensed voice.
Needless to say, Bai Dongqing also found that at this time, the water in the fluid object was rapidly evaporating, and the fluid body was constantly changing, becoming an irregular shape, which was a manifestation of the imminent Cheng Dan.
At this time, it was a crucial moment, and several people did not dare to breathe. His eyes stared at the steaming Dan furnace without blinking.
A unique fragrance of herbs permeated the room, and when he smelled this fragrance, the Cloud Piercing City Lord looked shocked, and his face showed ecstasy.
The appearance of Danxiang means that half of the pill has been successfully refined. As for the rest, it depends on Cheng Dan's condition.
Bai Dongqing didn't dare to be careless, the dragon blood essence blood was evenly distributed, and in the end, the flow was constantly compressed, and gradually turned into a round bead.
"Just now!" Sword Spirit shouted in a low voice, and his voice exploded in Bai Dongqing's brain.
Bai Dongqing gritted his teeth fiercely, slapped the fireplace with his palm, and suddenly the pill that was about to take shape was shocked by its strength.
Bai Dongqing kept in his hand, grabbed a handful of incense burner ashes and threw them into the air.
The hot pill was stained with fly ashes, and it suddenly turned gray-brown, and slowly fell into the Dan furnace.
"Increase the firepower. The sword spirit urged.
When Bai Dongqing heard this, the flame in his hand became even stronger, and the entire Dan furnace was completely covered in an instant.
The dragon blood flame became frenzied, and a fine crack appeared in the Dan furnace burned by the dragon fire, and a slight sound was heard.
Several people were shocked at the same time, when this Cheng Dan was about to be blown up, it would be a heavy blow to the quality of the pill.
"It's too late, sprinkle cinnabar and refine Danyi. Sword Spirit quickly urged.
Bai Dongqing nodded when he heard this, slapped the table with his left hand, and the cinnabar in the brocade box was shaken into the Dan furnace.
Suddenly, there was a crackling explosion, and the cinnabar wrapped the elixir, and under the roasting of the dragon fire, a layer of smooth texture was finally formed.
It was also at this time that dense cracks began to appear on the Dan furnace, Bai Dongqing's expression was awe-inspiring, and with a big move, the pill lying quietly in the Dan furnace was grabbed in his hand.
"Boom!"
The Dan furnace also exploded at the same time!
