Volume 1: The Twin Towers Chapter 26: The First Quenching Completed
After returning home at night, Lu Yao told Lu Yiqian that he had promised Wang Ping to move during the day.
Lu Yiqian didn't ask the reason, but just asked: "When do you plan to move?" ”
"I'm going to move this weekend, do you have anything else to prepare, godfather, I'll clean it up for you?"
"We don't have anything to prepare in this family, and your study materials are equivalent to all our belongings!" Lu Yiqian said jokingly.
Indeed, there is really nothing left to take away from this home, except for some Lu Yao's books and the clothes of the two, everything else is useless.
After finishing all the homework planned during the day, it was only past nine o'clock, and after saying hello to Lu Yiqian, Lu Yao went out to the nearby grocery store to buy some things needed to refine the spiritual liquid.
Before going out, he carefully took off the white-washed school uniform he wore on weekdays, and changed into an old cloth shirt that he only wore when he used to do odd jobs.
At around half past ten, after Lu Yao bought the casserole and some other auxiliary equipment for boiling medicine tonight, he slowly walked in the direction of Jingxin Lake.
In the past, it took about an hour to walk from Lu Yao's place to Jingxin Lake, but now with Lu Yao's foot strength, it takes about half an hour to arrive.
Lu Yao hasn't been to Jingxin Lake for a long time, and he has been busy working hard for life and studying hard for the past two years, so he can't find time to "squander" here.
It's early summer, but the temperature in Twin Towers City is already very high, and although the sky is already full of stars, there are still some young people hugging each other in the embankment and grove on the edge of Jingxin Lake on a date.
Boiling medicine by the lake at night always doesn't seem so appropriate, so Lu Yao doesn't want anyone to notice him, so he carefully controls his search route.
Over the years, Jingxin Lake has been developed by some tourism companies of varying levels of unevenness, destroying the original appearance, if it were not for the new municipal party secretary Lin Yuandao to urgently stop it, it is estimated that these stinking behaviors are still continuing.
Many tourism projects that were previously planned to be built on a large scale have been ordered to be rectified at this time, and the so-called three fires for new officials to take office, no one wants to touch the ban of the secretary at this time.
In order to find this spring, Lu Yao also spent a lot of time.
Fortunately, more than an hour later, Lu Yao found this Zimuquan who had almost killed him within the development scope of a tourism company called "Ruibang Lijing".
The Ruibang Lijing Tourism Company only got the land half a month before Lin Yuandao took office, and it was stopped after doing some simple infrastructure.
I think this tourism company also wants to develop this spring as a selling point to attract tourists.
The Zimu Spring was surrounded by a cement platform made of some reinforced concrete, which isolated the water in the entire spring from other springs, which saved Lu Yao a lot of trouble.
Looking at the time, it was almost time to leave Xinjiang, Lu Yao carefully checked around, and did not find anyone nearby.
Lu Yao hurriedly sat on the cement platform next to the spring, holding his breath and concentrating, trying to communicate with Lijiang in his mind.
"Master, I've got the things ready, can I start refining the spiritual liquid now?" Lu Yao tried to ask,
It didn't take long for Lijiang's voice to appear in Lu Yao's mind: "The time is just right, the place you found is perfect for quenching your body, now, I will teach you how to boil spiritual liquid." ”
As he spoke, a strange prescription appeared in Lu Yao's mind.
"The spiritual liquid we want to refine this time is called secondary Xuanyuan liquid, the reason why it is secondary is because the complete Xuanyuan liquid requires the purple monkey flower, the yuan spirit fruit and the thousand-year-old Yang Locking Grass three precious herbs, but now we only have this thousand-year-old Xuanyuan Grass that has lost most of its medicinal power, so we can only refine the secondary Xuanyuan liquid." With the advent of the prescription, Lijiang explained: "However, even if the secondary Xuanyuan liquid is used to quench the body, it will not be a problem for you to be promoted from the Hammer Body Refining Membrane Entry Realm to the Subtle Realm. ”
"It's all up to the master, what should I do next?" Lu Yao asked.
"I saw some red willow trees nearby, after you cut a small piece of the thousand-year-old lock sun grass and soak it in a casserole, go pick up some red willow trees." Lijiang said.
"Red willow?"
"Yes, red willow wood, although this wood does not have thick branches and cannot be used to build houses, it is tenacious and hardwood, and the flame burns long enough, it is the best choice for you to boil the secondary Xuanyuan liquid!"
After listening to Lijiang's explanation, Lu Yao suddenly opened his mouth, it seems that his thinking still needs to be adjusted, and he can't think about everything related to cultivating immortals so mysteriously, just like this red willow wood tonight, if it weren't for Lijiang's words to remind him, he wouldn't have associated him with refining spiritual liquid at all.
"Put the cut millennium sunlock grass in the casserole, hold the lit red willow wood tightly in your hand with the cloud pushing hand I called you, concentrate all your energy, and I will tell you how to control the heat!"
By the time Lu Yao had everything ready, it was almost time, and he said outside the frontier.
Lu Yao put the lit red willow wood under the casserole according to the explanation of leaving the territory, and ran the cloud pushing hand, flickering forward and backward, flickering left and right, carefully controlling the flames to heat all different parts of the casserole.
With the passage of time, the amount of water in the casserole is decreasing little by little, and the thousand-year-old Suoyang grass exudes a faint fragrance, which is completely different from the taste of the previous Suoyang grass.
"Now, quickly pull out half of the red willow wood and weaken the fire!" Just when the water was almost three-quarters evaporated, Lijiang said violently.
"Flutter!"
When Lijiang's words fell, Lu Yao didn't have time to react, only to see a stream of black ash coming out of the casserole, and the entire small section of the thousand-year-old Locking Yang Grass instantly turned into a lump of black viscous things, and the original fragrance disappeared, but it emitted a fishy smell.
Failed?
Lu Yao didn't expect that because of the long-term operation of the Tuiyun hand, the muscles in his entire arm became a little stiff, and after leaving the territory just now, he hadn't reacted yet, and the first boiling ended in failure.
"Master, I'm ......" Lu Yao didn't know what to say for a while.
"It's okay, it doesn't matter, the first time you refine medicine, you will inevitably be nervous, and it will be fine slowly." Lijiang comforted: "I think the first time I refined the pill for my master, I almost blew up the entire Dan furnace, you are nothing, start again, try again!" ”
Lu Yao listened to Lijiang's words, felt a little better, and immediately prepared things and prepared to boil them for the second time.
This time, with the lessons of the past, Lu Yao was even more engrossed, and after pushing the cloud hand, he controlled the power just right.
Before igniting the fire, Lu Yao had already tightly clasped the red willow wood with his fingers, just dividing it into two, and when he asked to remove half of the red willow wood from Xinjiang again, Lu Yao immediately flicked it with his middle finger and did it.
Although it was still a few seconds slower than expected, it was finally not enough to burn the thousand-year-old Locking Sun Grass into a black and sticky shape.
"Flameout!" When the moisture in the casserole was close to completely disappearing, Lijiang urged.
Lu Yao heard the reminder to leave Xinjiang and quickly pulled out all the red willow wood.
The whole casserole was full of medicinal fragrance, but because the water was close to boiling dry, there was a thick mist in the casserole, and it was impossible to see what the things refined inside looked like for a while.
"Master, is this refined?"
When the fog cleared, Lu Yao looked at the casserole as a piece of liquid the size of a newborn baby's palm, showing a faint red color, dripping and tumbling under the casserole.
"The control of the heat is already much stronger than the last time, but the control of the timing is still slightly lacking, but fortunately, it can be regarded as boiling except for a little bit of secondary Xuanyuan liquid." Lijiang said.
It's finally done!
Lu Yao couldn't help but say something in his heart.
Hearing Lijiang tell him that the secondary Xuanyuan liquid was barely practiced, Lu Yao's entire hanging heart could be put down, and the whole person sat on the ground as if he had been fished out of the water.
"Next, drop the refined secondary Xuanyuan liquid into the spring water, and the whole person will be completely immersed in it, and the whole body will relax, and let the medicinal effect enter every inch of your skin!" Before Lu Yao could take a breath, Lijiang urged again: "In the process of boiling the spiritual liquid, the pores of your whole body have been completely opened, and this is the best time for you to quench your body!" ”
Lu Yao followed his words, picked up the casserole and poured all the spiritual liquid into the spring water.
A small amount of spiritual liquid entered the water, but the whole spring water turned red, and as the medicinal effect reacted, the whole spring water seemed to be about to boil, and it tumbled and tumbled.
Lu Yao also had time to think about it, stripped naked, and immediately jumped into the spring.
"Shhh
Although he had been prepared in his heart, when every inch of skin in his body was stinging like a needle prick, Lu Yao couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief to alleviate his pain.
However, Lu Yao's perseverance was indeed amazing, and even so, his entire body remained motionless in the spring water all the time.
Lijiang saw all this clearly, and couldn't help but feel happy for Lu Yao in his heart.
He knew what it was like for someone like Lu Yao to not have a trace of true qi to protect his body, and simply rely on his body to withstand the quenching brought by the secondary Xuanyuan liquid.
The whole process lasted more than an hour, and the first quenching was completed when the color of the entire spring water had returned to its original appearance.
"Alright, come out!" Lijiang said.
Lu Yao always maintained a clear consciousness throughout the whole process of quenching, although he almost couldn't hold on several times, but he still persevered with great perseverance far superior to his peers.
Hearing Lijiang talking to himself, he slowly stood up from the spring and came to the spring to put on his clothes.
Lu Yao looked at the faint red light flickering on the surface of his bare skin, and he knew that the first spiritual fluid quenching was completed.
