Chapter 508: An Unexpected Assessment
The refining of the first purple ice vine was completed, and after taking out the essence, Wang Sanniu actually threw three purple ice vines directly into the alchemy furnace.
The temperature that had finally risen was suppressed again, and the flame in the furnace was almost extinguished directly. However, the toughness of the ninth-level flame still helped Wang Sanniu stabilize the situation in the alchemy furnace.
Mars flying, the same refining method as before, continues to be used by Wang Sanniu. Although after adding three purple ice vines, the refining speed was much slower than before, as the volume of the refined medicinal materials increased, the sparks in the furnace were also able to touch the purple ice vines more. In this way, the efficiency is improved.
While maintaining refining, Wang Sanniu also thought about the significance of these assessment projects. Although these assessments seem to be arbitrary, the content of the assessments is actually completely different.
The first item, the refining of hundreds of violets, tests the concentration and patience of the alchemist; The second Hundred Poison Fruit is a test of the alchemist's ability to adapt when encountering a crisis. As for the purple ice vine in front of him, it is the foundation of the spiritual power of the alchemist.
Although the situation simulated by these three assessments will basically not happen when the alchemist actually refines the pill, this kind of targeted assessment can test the alchemist's ability in an all-round way. As Elder Meng had told him before, a true alchemy grandmaster was not only able to refine high-grade pills, but more importantly, he was able to deal with various alchemy situations.
After a stick of incense, the ten purple ice vines were finally refined. At this time, Wang Sanniu's spiritual power had been consumed by nearly half. However, compared to refining the purple ice vine according to the normal mode, his current state is already good. The only additional consumption is probably the extra part of the spiritual power consumed when controlling the flames.
"When I saw your flame, I knew that this fourth assessment was not too difficult for you. However, in accordance with the principle of fairness, this assessment must be carried out. The fourth assessment, refining the beast crystal of the Yuqing Realm Earth Dragon Python, is limited to a time limit, and the time for a stick of incense. ”
Watching Wang Sanniu complete the third assessment, and it looked relatively relaxed, the soul old man as the "examiner" didn't say anything, but continued to give the next assessment content.
Hearing this, Wang Sanniu instantly understood the significance of the fourth assessment. The Earth Dragon Python is a kind of magical beast known for its defense and endurance, and its beast crystal is naturally the kind of existence that is difficult to refine. Therefore, this assessment content should be a test of the alchemist's flame attributes. It's no wonder that the old man thinks that this assessment is not difficult for him—the ninth-level flame attribute is naturally taken advantage of.
However, when Wang Sanniu really began to refine, he realized that the beast crystal of this earth dragon python was far stronger than he imagined.
The gray-yellow crystal nucleus, with a rich jade Qingjing fluctuation emanated, after Wang Sanniu's flame covered it, there was no response, even if Wang Sanniu increased the flame output, it was still not moving, and there was no intention of being refined.
Compared to the purple ice vine just now, this beast crystal will not affect the flame output of Wang Sanniu, but it is much smaller than the previous purple ice vine, even if Wang Sanniu uses the method of Mars impact just now to refine, it is difficult to work - the volume is too small, and it is unusually solid, and the Mars collision will not have the desired effect at all.
Moreover, after a short period of contact, Wang Sanniu found that this beast crystal, which had reached the Yuqing Realm Demonic Beast, seemed to have some sense of self-protection. As long as Wang Sanniu's flames attacked, it would shrink back to its own devices, and use the abundant spiritual power inside the beast crystal to resist Wang Sanniu's refining. If it continues to be consumed like this, let alone a stick of incense, it will be an hour, and it will be difficult for Wang Sanniu to refine it.
"Soul Burning!"
In the raging flames, the power of Wang Sanniu's soul was gradually integrated. Since this beast crystal has an autonomous consciousness, then Wang Sanniu must first destroy this consciousness and then refine it.
The flame that fused with the soul covered the beast crystal again, and Wang Sanniu sensed a python that was frantically resisting the flames, swimming in the alchemy furnace. It seems that this is the consciousness hidden in the beast crystal.
"Soul Phoenix!"
has always been a one-legged fire phoenix, condensed in the alchemy furnace. This flame body, which resembles the form of Bi Fang Bird, is the product of the condensation of Wang Sanniu's spiritual power and soul power. To deal with the consciousness of that kind of demonic beast, of course, it is better to use other powers with consciousness.
The one-legged fire phoenix not only has a body condensed by ninth-level flames, but also seems to be mixed with a trace of Bi Fang Bird's aura coercion. No matter how strong the python is, it is also a dead thing, and in the face of the fire phoenix of this power, it was completely defeated after only a few rounds of fighting.
"Burst of flame!"
The python spirit body was destroyed, and Wang Sanniu immediately increased the flame output. The solidified flames continued to converge, and they faintly formed the form of lava. The two attributes of burst and annihilation both released their maximum power at this time, constantly burning this beast crystal.
Rao is like this, the solidity of the earth dragon python beast crystal still makes Wang Sanniu work a lot. After the incense stick burned two-thirds of the way, Wang Sanniu finished refining. At this time, his spiritual power had already been consumed in the process of refining.
"Young man, now you have five minutes to correct, after which you do the final test."
The soul old man put away all the medicinal herbs, medicinal essences, and timing supplies, and motioned for Wang Sanniu to take a break.
According to Wang Sanniu's estimate, this last assessment should be to refine an eighth-grade pill. However, his current state is really not good, with only a five-minute break, and it is a bit far-fetched to try to adjust his condition. All he could do at this time was to recover his strength as much as possible.
Five minutes passed quickly, and Wang Sanniu looked at the soul old man very punctually, signaling that he was ready.
"The fifth item of the assessment, under the pressure of my soul, I insist on a stick of incense for a long time, and I can't take pills or use spiritual weapons."
Different from Wang Sanniu's prediction, the last assessment is still not the refining of pills, but the assessment of soul power. This also caught Wang Sanniu off guard.
In the recovery time just now, he was recovering his spiritual power wholeheartedly, completely ignoring the consumption of spiritual power. Although he had also consumed a lot of soul power before, compared to spiritual power, his soul power was quite sufficient.
However, at this moment, if you want to assess your soul power, this relative sufficiency is obviously insufficient. But at this point, he had no other way but to bite the bullet.
Without waiting for Wang Sanniu to finish his preparations, the soul pressure like Mount Tai's pressure came towards him. At the beginning, Wang Sanniu was a little powerless! 5610
