Chapter 21: Cauldron Refining Elixir
"What are you going to do?" asked Mad Mountain.
"Don't ask yet, how about seeing how I control the fire this time?"
Yuan Qiong Gong urges internal force, which is also known as true qi. The fire in the stove swayed with Yuan Qiong's hands, swayed, shrunk, and fluttered to the left and right......
Crazy Mountain nodded: "Yes, this time you did a good job, hold on! It takes more than an hour to refine the Yanyan Spirit Pill, so keep it like this!"
Yuan Qiong's face was bitter, an hour was two hours, and the internal force in his body might not be able to hold even fifteen minutes.
Sure enough, fifteen minutes were approaching, and Yuan Qiong began to sweat on his forehead, and the flames in the furnace began to shake incessantly.
"It seems that the limit has been reached, and the true qi in the body is about to be exhausted!" Wild Mountain sighed.
At this time, Yuan Qiong stretched out his left hand and grabbed a heavenly and earthly treasure that was placed next to him and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it.
Chu Yue said worriedly: "Young Master, the medicinal effect of the Heavenly Treasure is very strong, you will hurt your body if you eat it like this!"
"yes, don't spoil the good stuff. Saying that, Wild Mountain secretly ate a blue firefly.
Yuan Qiong didn't answer, and at this moment his attention was all focused on the yellow flame in the stove.
I used the system to scan myself again, and new messages came.
"Charge is complete, with a delay of 60 days. ”
"If the body is not full of energy, it will be replenished automatically. ”
Yuan Qiong only felt that there was a warm current pouring in the dantian, and the true qi was also recovering rapidly, and the swaying flames in the stove gradually calmed down, and he was obediently at the mercy of Yuan Qiong.
Sure enough, Yuan Qiong was happy in his heart. At that time, the system used energy to protect itself from Qian Shen's fatal injury, so it should also be able to supplement its own internal strength.
It's no wonder that he was able to stand up again and again during the death fight with Zuo Shanren in the cave, completely exceeding the bearing capacity of the ordinary body refining period, all with the help of this passive ability.
In other words, the energy of the system can replace the true qi, but this ability can only be triggered when the flesh is severely injured or the internal force is exhausted.
His guess was correct, after consuming 100 days of energy, Yuan Qiong lasted another ten minutes of fire control time. Later, due to the lack of energy stored in the system, it was unable to maintain the passive ability to recharge, and the fire control trick stopped.
"Warning: Low energy, please recharge in time!"
"Sleep countdown 52 seconds, 51 seconds, 50 seconds, ......"
Yuan Qiong hurriedly grabbed the Heavenly Treasure and devoured it, he didn't want to let himself fall into consciousness dormancy because of his low-level mistakes.
It seems that this ability is also defective, in case one day the energy is consumed too much, and the energy body cannot be recharged for a while, wouldn't it be that the consciousness will be dormant again!
At that time, I am afraid that it will not be a dormant period of more than ten years, and I am afraid that I may not be able to wake up even if I am dying.
This system does not have functions such as solar charging, and when the power is cut off, the power will be cut off, and there is no negotiation for anyone.
Set a small goal first, and the number of energy days will break 10,000 days, Yuan Qiong thought in his heart.
"Crazy Mountain, you said that this pot of heavenly and earthly treasures is worth how many Yanyan Spirit Pills?"
Yuan Qiong didn't want to eat a pot of good things to alchemy, but he couldn't get back his money.
Wild Mountain looked at a small pot full of heavenly and earthly treasures with disdain: "The years are all herbal roots of about fifty years, and they are not worth a few dollars." A single elixir can replace an entire kitchen with something like this. ”
As he spoke, he tiptoed up a water spirit fruit and swallowed it into his stomach, licking his tongue with satisfaction.
Yuan Qiong gave him a chestnut on his forehead: "Steal my share again! Later, I will use them to assist in alchemy, and I am not allowed to eat them again." ”
Crazy Mountain thought that Yuan Qiong suddenly held on for a moment just now: "Could it be that just now because of eating these heavenly and earthly treasures, the time of your fire control technique was extended?"
Yuan Qiong nodded and smiled mysteriously.
Crazy Mountain looked shocked: "Impossible, I have checked your physique, it is not a special Dao body at all, how can you do it! Tell me quickly, do you have something to hide from me?"
Yuan Qiong stretched out his index finger and shook it: "Don't try to find out other people's secrets. You have more secrets than I do, and I didn't even press you. It's enough for us to maintain such a mutually beneficial relationship, you say!"
Wild Mountain was silent, and it took a long time before he spoke: "I was preached by your kid, but we demons must get what we want, including secrets." When I regain my strength, I must interrogate you properly. ”
said and pretended to laugh arrogantly, but he was in a hurry and snorted twice, which made the first moon on the side laugh.
Yuan Qiong smiled: "It's also the first time I've seen a demon clan who told the other party about his conspiracy. ”
He didn't worry about the other party, after checking the other party's situation, he found that the state of the wild mountain recovered very slowly, even if he was given another hundred years, it would return to 0.1% at most, not to mention being trapped in the elixir.
Maybe he used to be a powerful demon, but now Wild Mountain is just an animal trapped in a puppy's body, and even ordinary beasts can eat it.
Just as Yuan Qiong continued to hone his alchemy skills, in the Apocalypse Great Forest, Cangnan rushed back covered in blood, clutching a branch in his hand, and eighteen thumb-wide fiery red fruits bore on the branch.
He didn't have time to change his clothes and jumped into the courtyard of the Yuan family, Yuan Zhiyuan thought it was someone from the Qian Mansion who broke in, and rushed out of the house with a big knife.
"Township Chief, what's wrong with you, do you want me to bring you a medicine box to treat your wounds?" Yuan Zhiyuan looked at Cangnan who was stained red with blood in surprise.
"No need, these are the blood stains of that beast, by the way, where is Yuan Qiong?"
Yuan Zhiyuan pointed to the kitchen suspiciously, and Cangnan ran towards the kitchen quickly.
"What the hell are old men and Yuan Qiong doing? Yuan Zhiyuan muttered back to the house.
Yuan Qiong, who was in the kitchen, heard the movement outside, and immediately walked out and met the other party head-on.
"Yuan Qiong, this is the Yan Yan Spirit Fruit, I have already taken it out, now I can refine the elixir, right?" Cang Nan enthusiastically stuffed the precious spirit fruit into Yuan Qiong's hand.
Yuan Qiong coughed, glanced at Crazy Mountain, and said, "Well, that's right, the materials have been gathered." But before I do that, I have to explain a few things to the mayor. ”
"Tell me, what's the matter? As long as I can do it, I will do it!" Cangnan patted his chest and promised.
"That's right, my master and old man made two requests, first, after Dancheng, I will only give you two ......"
"Two, enough!" Cangnan said excitedly.
Yuan Qiong was quite surprised, he was so happy to give you both, haven't you ever seen the pill?
He then said: "Second, except for this Flame Spirit Fruit, other materials require labor hours and material costs, a total of 1,000 taels. ”
Cangnan agreed: "Okay, no problem!"
As he spoke, he took out a dozen silver tickets from his arms, removed the bloodstained ones, and handed the clean twelve one hundred taels of silver tickets to Yuan Qiong: "The extra two should be given to you to drink tea, you must accept them!"
Looking at the Yan Yan Spirit Fruit and the silver ticket in his hand, Yuan Qiong felt a little like he was in a dream, it was so simple to get it?
"Yuan Qiong, what about your master, I want to meet him and thank him for his help in person!" Cang Nan looked behind Yuan Qiong, the noble identity of the Pill Medicine Master is not something that ordinary people can be lucky enough to see, but what can be seen is only the early moon when the kitchen is busy.
Yuan Qiong hurriedly stopped and said, "That, my master is in the kitchen, and he is more greedy for the dishes made by my maid."
My master has a strange problem, he doesn't like to be disturbed when he eats. If you go to the guest hall and sit for a while, it will take about an hour to refine the pill. ”
Cangnan was suspicious, and finally chose to go to the guest hall to wait, for fear of rashly breaking in and offending the mysterious pill pharmacist.
Since he can cure Yuan Qiong's absence, and he can see through the poison of withering glory, there must be no fake.
Yuan Zhiyuan, as the head of the family, handed over the task of entertaining Cangnan to him.
"Township Chief, I had a conflict with the Qian family a few days ago, thanks to your rescue, I was thinking about coming to the door to thank you after I recovered from my injury!" Yuan Zhiyuan thanked.
"Everywhere, this is all as it should be, the Qian family is rampant in the township, and the villagers have long been complained, this time I will never tolerate it! I must deal with the arrogance of the Qian family!" Cangnan spat and said righteously.
Yuan Zhiyuan was stunned when he heard this, when did this old man act so impartially, he used to be in the township and mud, and no one was allowed to die.
Cangnan continued: "Your family Yuanqiong is a talent, I have long seen him as unusual!"
Yuan Zhiyuan was in a hurry, shouldn't he have been discovered when his son and Qian played a death match!
He hurriedly explained: "Township Chief, you misunderstood, our Yuan Qiong has been sensible since childhood, the Qian family's child is dead, it must have nothing to do with our family, you can't believe the rumors!"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood," Cang Nan said: "I mean, in a few days, I will deal with the township meeting impartially, and your family Yuanqiong must not be wronged if it is not wrong!"
Only then did Yuan Zhiyuan understand that Cangnan did not come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, but to express his stance and stand on his son's side.
"What the hell did the stinky boy do?" Yuan Zhiyuan muttered.
And in the kitchen next to the guest hall, Yuan Qiong and Wild Mountain were busy alchemy.
"Heat the pot first, mash the other ingredients and pour them into the pot, add some water, cover well, and don't let the heat in the pot hit the lid. Wild Mountain jumped on the stove and guided.
"I mean, how does this look like cooking?"
Chu Yue on the side said with a smile: "Isn't this just cooking vegetables, and stirring with a spatula." ”
Crazy Mountain shouted with a straight face: "Be serious, what about alchemy!"
Chu Yue covered her mouth and smiled: "Young master, the dishes made at noon have been cooked, braised tooth leopard meat, you taste it first." ”
As he spoke, he picked up a piece, Yuan Qiong opened his mouth wide and swallowed it in one gulp, full of flesh, oily but not greasy, and added a little energy.
"It's delicious, Yue'er, your craft has improved again!"
Looking at Yuan Qiong's happy expression, Chu Yue was satisfied: "Young master, eat more delicious food, ah, open your mouth." ”
The wild mountain on the side couldn't hold it back, and came over: "That, little girl, bring me one or two pieces!"
"Aren't you going to do alchemy?"
"Hey! Like this kind of elixir that is not in the product, I can refine it with my eyes closed. And now I play an on-site guiding role, mainly because this kid controls alchemy. ”
Hatsuki hesitated for a while, and finally gave a piece of fat meat to Crazy Mountain.
Crazy Mountain's face was black: "This is too biased, he eats lean meat, and I still eat a piece of fatty meat! You don't respect the elderly, but you also have the heart to protect animals!"
Chu Yue pouted: "If you don't want to eat it, I won't give it to you, puppy, picky eaters can't grow up." ”
"I'll eat I'll eat, well, it's delicious, the taste is so speechless!" Wild Mountain swallowed it in one gulp, licking his mouth with a lingering meaning.
