Chapter 63, the alchemy furnace

When Ye Chenxing regained his consciousness and regained control of his body, he found that he had come to a relatively spacious room. The furnishings in the room give it a very classic and simple feeling.

There are futons, Ye Chenxing is sitting on an earthy yellow futon at this time, there are fourteen futons around him, there is a wooden table facing Ye Chenxing against the wall, I don't know what material it is for the time being, but just by looking at the appearance, I know that it is not an ordinary thing, and there are some ancient strange beasts carved on the four table legs, which are realistic and moving, and the desktop shows a dark purple color. On one side of the table, there is a closet with small bottles in three gears. The topmost layer, with the fewest bottles, has only one; the middle layer, with five bottles; At the bottom, there are nine bottles.

Each bottle, in terms of appearance and form, is roughly the same, with only slight differences in the shade of color. The higher the bottle, the darker the color.

And just after Ye Chenxing sat down, before he could calm down, the second futon beside him also emitted a golden flash at this time, and his eyes were a little unable to open, Ye Chenxing squinted and found that there was suddenly one more person on the second futon, this person was none other than Song Jiang!

Then, just after Song Jiang sat down, slowly, several futons around him appeared one after another, and these people were none other than people from the five major forces!

And at this time, there are no more and no less people sitting here, exactly fifteen people, the number of places to enter here is sixteen, but at this time there are only fifteen futons here, all, as the last Tiger Gang to enter, there is one less place, think about it, Zhou Hu's face outside at this time must not be good-looking!

Suddenly, Ye Chenxing's gaze slowly swept over everyone, and these people had almost one expression on their faces, and they were shocked beyond measure! And after the last futon was stained, behind Ye Chenxing, there was a gate, which was closed at this time.

Everyone who comes in is pulled in through this gate and is pulled in by the colorful energy. The door had been open, but now it was closed, and there were fifteen futons in the room, which naturally meant that no one would enter.

At this time, Ye Chenxing was the first person to enter this room, and compared to other people, he didn't have much advantage, and he didn't know much about this ruin. It's not that everyone sitting on the futon doesn't want to search the room, but before the door is closed, no matter how hard they try, they can't leave the futon, so everyone can only sit and rest cross-legged, waiting for the moment when freedom of movement is restored.

Ye Chenxing wanted to try to stand up many times, but every time he felt a great force, restraining him, although, simply stretching his legs, moving his hands, or turning his head, talking or something, it would not be a big problem, but if he wanted to run the vitality in his body, or stand and walk, it was impossible.

Faintly, Ye Chenxing felt that the atmosphere in the entire room was full of a trace of weirdness.

Except for Ye Chenxing, the rest of the people naturally wouldn't continue to look at the room at this time. Everything that should have been seen has already been seen, and there is nothing else in the room except for a few simple furnishings that can be seen. Although it is a relic of the relics, I believe that there will always be a time when these confinements will be carried out, and when the time comes, everyone will strive for more things by their own abilities.

When Ye Chenxing's gaze turned around from the other fourteen people, and then thought of the position where he was sitting, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Fifteen people did not sit neatly in a row, or several rows, but sat in a circle around the center of the room. Of course, on the side facing Ye Chenxing, there was a relatively large "gap", and there was exactly where the table and closet were located.

Ye Chenxing didn't know if the people on these futons were seated in the order of entry, from the distance close to the closet, but according to the normal situation, it should be like this, and besides, there would be something in the center where everyone was sitting.

So, after Ye Chenxing checked his own safety, there would be no problems for the time being, and then he focused his attention on the center point where everyone was sitting around.

Suddenly, Ye Chenxing, who had a calm face, fell into a burst of restlessness in his whole state......

Suddenly, in the center of the room, there was a "creaking" sound, and the flat ground slowly cracked, and a puff of green smoke slowly rose from the ground. Under the green smoke, it was a brown Dan furnace the size of a human head.

Could it be a Dan furnace? Ye Chenxing's heart couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

However, soon, Ye Chenxing was relieved. As far as the furnishings of the entire weird room are concerned, not to mention the table against the wall for the time being, judging from the futon on the ground, the closet next to the table, and the pill bottle on the closet, it is also very reasonable to place such an alchemy furnace in the middle of the room.

Otherwise, Ye Chenxing wouldn't have felt that there would be something missing in the empty center of the entire room.

Now, a Dan furnace suddenly rose from the ground, and the curling mist and the antique atmosphere brought by it undoubtedly added a lot of pill to the entire room.

Not only Ye Chenxing's attention was focused on the Dan Furnace that had just risen, but the other fourteen people in the room also set their eyes on the Alchemy Furnace for the first time. It was as if at this moment, the small alchemy furnace that suddenly appeared, something amazing, gathered everyone's attention.

Alchemy is a method used by the ancients to refine elixir in pursuit of "longevity". Dan refers to Dansha or mercury sulfide, which is an inorganic compound of sulfur and mercury (mercury), because it is red, Tao Hongjing called "Dansha is cinnabar." ”

Dansha is different from plants and trees, not only does it burn but does not ember, but "the longer it is burned, the more wonderful the change." "The mercury produced by mercury sand is a metallic substance, but it is in a liquid state, with a metallic luster and different from that of hardware (gold, silver, copper, iron, tin). ”。

In ancient times, it was believed to be an elixir of immortality with miraculous properties. In the ancient books, it is pointed out that the standard for grading the elixir is: "the medicine makes the body safe, the life is extended, the ascension to heaven, and the immortals ,......", among which the dansha is listed as the first in the top grade of alchemy, and it is the earliest important medicinal material selected in ancient alchemy.

Jin Ge Hong's "Hug Puzi? Jin Dan said: "Where the grass and trees are burned, they are embers, and the dansha is refined into mercury, and the accumulation changes into dansha, and the plants and trees are far away, so they can make people live forever." ”

What's more, this alchemy does not only exist in reality, but also in many myths and stories, there is also the theory of alchemy, as far as the Taishang Laojun's Nine Turns Golden Pill is concerned, it is definitely a magic medicine that can make people eat immortality and soar in the day.

And now these people sitting here have no concept of the elixir at all, and even if they do, they have only seen it from many fantasy novels, and they have not seen it with their own eyes, but at this time, the legendary alchemy furnace and pill appeared in front of their eyes, how could they not be excited?

"Huh, the feeling of confinement seems to be gone?" Just when everyone's attention was focused on the Dan furnace in the room, Ye Chenxing, who was the first to enter the inheritance cave, suddenly let out a soft "huh", and then, everyone saw that Ye Chenxing stood up very abruptly and left the futon that had been sitting upright.

Just as Ye Chenxing stood up, he turned his gaze to the rest of the people. No one but himself could stand up.

"Does it have something to do with the length of time you've been in this room?" Ye Chenxing was puzzled. The rest of the people also have a lot of speculation in their hearts. After thinking of anything, Ye Chenxing didn't think much about it anymore and came to the side of the Dan furnace. First, he circled around the Dan furnace that suddenly appeared, and then, as if his eyes lit up, he took out a pill from the Dan furnace.

However, when Ye Chenxing's hand took out the pill from the pill furnace, perhaps because the storage time was too long, or because of some other reason, this blue glowing pill turned into powder in an instant. The energy originally contained in the elixir was a concrete portrait that appeared out of thin air, virtually standing in the center of the entire room.

Everyone in the room can see it clearly.

Even, the other people in the room could clearly feel Ye Chenxing's surprised look at this time.

And these specific portraits are more like recording the appearance of an old man dressed in simple clothes, concentrating on alchemy. The Dan furnace used in the old man's hand was the Dan furnace that appeared in the room in front of him. Then, these images suddenly divided into fifteen points of light, one of which directly drilled into Ye Chenxing's mind, and the rest disappeared into the fourteen futons where someone was sitting in the room.

Ye Chenxing felt that some information was slowly transmitted from the blue light he had just gotten. At the same time, everyone also has a certain understanding of this ruin.

To put it simply, the old man in the virtual image that appeared originally was the owner of this ruin. And this ruin is not only the place where he is buried, but more importantly, it is also the place he used to select his heirs!

As for his identity, strength, and the like, there was naturally no explanation, but judging from the size of the inheritance cave he left behind, it would definitely not be just a fifth- or sixth-order evolutionary left by him, as the alliance said.

And the fifteen people who entered the room can be regarded as having passed the first test of this inheritance. It shows that the qualifications of these people in the room are still good!
