Chapter 53: Laying the Groundstone
The huge copper furnace was constantly overflowing with a scorching breath visible to the naked eye, and the terrible heat was so high that even the air was a little distorted.
And beside this red copper furnace, Xue Chuan was struggling to wield a one-man high iron hammer, striking on the herbs in a copper bowl to squeeze out the juice in it.
"Bell!"
"Bell!"
The muscle lines on Xue Chuan's body were full of explosive force, and a layer of sweat was soaked on it, but it was immediately evaporated by the high temperature. The muscles were a little sore and red under the long-term labor, and there was a faint feeling of numbness, which made Xue Chuan's expression a little tired.
Xue Chuan once again wielded the hammer and smashed it into the wide copper bowl, and the sweat on his body was discharged along with the impurities in the muscles and flesh under the high-intensity exercise, making Xue Chuan's body look a little dirty.
"It turns out... You said... Foundation... Just let me... Do it for free... Coolies?" Xue Chuan gritted his teeth fiercely, and spat out a few words every time he swung the hammer.
Xia Shou, who was lying on the recliner not far away, took a sip of ice drink comfortably, and said, "What you said is too much, I am obviously using resources reasonably, how can I say that I am using you as a coolie?"
Xue Chuan took a deep breath and smashed the hammer down again, and at the same time said viciously in his mouth: "What a reasonable use!"
"You don't understand~~ You have the so-called Qingtian Immortal Body, the body is extremely adaptable, and the high temperature near the furnace can just help you quench the impurities in your flesh and blood, and with the repeated contraction and relaxation of muscles and bones, the effect of exercise is first-class. Xia Shou's words were reasonable.
Xue Chuan didn't have the strength to argue with Xia Shou anymore, so he could only focus on the hammer and copper bowl in front of him, which could barely expel the fatigue and soreness from his mind.
With the legs as the source, the waist as the axis, the shoulders as the link, and the strength up to the arms, this hammer-wielding labor really has a good exercise effect on the whole body.
Finally, after wielding the last bit of strength in his body, Xue Chuan could no longer resist the soreness in his muscles and flesh, so he could only loosen the hammer and fall to the ground softly.
"Your uncle..."Xue Chuan scolded in a low voice, enduring the pain all over his body, and also hammered Xia Shou with a hammer dozens of times in his heart.
"Tired?" Xia Shou had already walked to Xue Chuan's side at some point, and was bending over and looking at him with a smile.
Xue Chuan stared at a pair of dead fish eyes, and said the sentence "Don't you look like I'm not tired?" with his eyes.
"When you're tired, drink saliva. Xia Shou handed over the cup in his hand, put it on the corner of Xue Chuan's mouth, and said, "Open your mouth." β
Xue Chuan opened his mouth obediently, expecting the cold rain, but in fact, what he was waiting for was a drop of cool liquid.
"What do you mean? just a drop?" Xue Chuan said dissatisfiedly: "Are you playing with me?"
Xia Shou's old face showed a malicious smile: "Hehe, one drop is enough, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it!"
When Xue Chuan heard this, his pupils shrank, and he understood almost instantly what Xia Shou was giving him to drink.
At this time, in Xue Chuan's abdomen, a burning sensation spread, flowing directly to his limbs and bones, gently washing his muscles and bones, making the exhaustion of his whole body gradually ease, and a feeling of numbness and crispiness gradually appeared in his bones.
It was indeed very comfortable at first, but after a while, Xue Chuan realized that something was wrong, because although the soreness in his body had been relieved, the heat flow in his abdomen did not mean to stop, but still circulated in Xue Chuan's meridians.
It can be seen that in this case, Xue Chuan's skin gradually became red and bright, as if his qi and blood were about to boil.
"I warn you, if you don't exercise a little more, you might be able to get bloody. Xia Shou gloated.
Xue Chuan didn't even have time to curse a swear word, so he directly turned over and jumped up, picked up the heavy hammer, and swung it almost desperately.
Xia Shou saw Xue Chuan's actions, and nodded with satisfaction: "Friendly reminder, at this time, you may have unexpected effects while running the Qi and Blood Atlas of the Blue Sky Immortal Body." β
When Xue Chuan heard this, he didn't think much about it, and while wielding the hammer, he began to concentrate and guide his own qi and blood.
It stands to reason that a complete alchemy technique, except for the initial entry map, the rest of the cultivation needs to be assisted by other exercises in order to reach a higher realm.
However, this Qingtian Immortal Body is different, even if the practitioner and the Lotus Life Daoist have studied for thousands of years, they have not been able to figure out how to make the Qingtian Immortal Body advanced, so they can only leave a refining body map that guides qi and blood to talk about comfort.
However, what Xue Chuan didn't expect was that after he drank a drop of unfragrant wine puree, as his body was tired again and again, and recovered again and again, the flow of qi and blood in his body was also catalyzed, so he ran the map of the blue sky immortal body, and there was actually a sense that the body was constantly refining!
Xue Chuan was overjoyed, he had also tried to run this blue sky immortal map for a few days, but it had little effect, so he simply gave up this road.
It's just that I didn't expect that at this moment, this map will play a role again!
Xia Shou on the side seemed to feel something, and couldn't help but nodded: "Sure enough, I have figured out the principle of your Blue Sky Immortal Body, I have to say that the practitioner and the Lotus Sheng Daoist are indeed two geniuses." β
"You figured it out?" Xue Chuan couldn't believe it.
Xia Shou nodded: "It's really not easy to create this path, but it's not difficult if you just understand it." β
"This blue sky immortal body can be said to be refining people as pills, since this is the case, future growth also needs the assistance of the Yang Treasure rich in aura, and this earth fire vein just happens to be counted. Xia Shou explained.
Xue Chuan suddenly realized: "What about other things? It should be more than this, right?"
Xia Shou nodded: "Not bad." Starting from the aspect of the elixir, you originally swallowed a whole Yan Soul Lotus, which not only played the auxiliary effect of the Yang Treasure but also provided a large amount of life active substances, which made the blue sky immortal and cultivate. β
Hearing this, Xue Chuan couldn't help but have a bad premonition: "You don't mean to tell me-"
Xia Shou's expression became a little admiring: "Not only treat people as pills, but also treat people as green lotus, you need to use the fierceness of the Yin Supreme Treasure and the Yang Supreme Treasure to promote the growth of the humanoid green lotus, in this way, this blue sky immortal body has almost no upper limit, it can be said that this is the veritable [Blue Lotus Body]!"
Xia Shou smiled: "In the future, you need to take a large amount of treasure medicine, or a spiritual object that can provide you with the life element, and at the same time cooperate with the assistance of the Yang and Yin Treasures, and operate the Qi and Blood Atlas, so that the Qingtian Immortal Body can continue to develop." β
"In other words, this is a money-burning loser alchemyβwith all due respect, even the king of the Son of Heaven's cultivation would not dare to play like this. Xia Shou came to such a conclusion.
Hearing this, Xue Chuan didn't know what expression to use to face it, whether he should be happy that he had found a way to cultivate the Qingtian Immortal Body, or whether he should be sad that he couldn't afford to raise this alchemy technique at all.
"But you don't need to think about it so much now, anyway, you don't need the assistance of Yin to Yang things in a short period of time, and now you can improve with a little catalysis, and you don't need to rush it. Xia Shou comforted.
Xue Chuan sighed, and the force of wielding the hammer increased a few points: "It's really a creation to make people... I was born to let a poor boy like me get involved in the money-consuming alchemy..."
"Are you content!" Xia Shou unceremoniously reprimanded: "What is the concept of no upper limit? You don't know how much advantage you have!"
"What do you say?" Xue Chuan asked with a gasp, his face had turned red at this time.
"Heh, some people have to spend almost their whole lives in order to find a strong enough alchemy technique, and after they have worked hard to achieve it, they may have to change to another alchemy technique because their cultivation paths are conflicting or they can't keep up with the improvement of their strength, do you say they are angry?" Xia Shou said angrily.
"Your blue sky immortal body is extremely inclusive, there is almost no such similar harm, you just need to pour treasure medicine without a head and no brain, you kid is still not satisfied?"
Xue Chuan laughed a few times, and he also understood that he was greedy.
Xia Shou shook his head: "It's a pity, this blue sky will not be destroyed, I'm afraid that you will be the only one in the future." β
This sentence made Xue Chuan stunned: "Why is this? Isn't it possible to successfully cultivate as long as the treasure of the Yin and Cold Soul can be successfully cultivated with the Refining Body Map?"
"That's why you say you're lucky. Xia Shou sighed: "If it weren't for a special feature in you, no matter who you come and how many times you try, it will be a dead end!"
"What is special about me?" Xue Chuan also stopped the hammer in his hand and frowned: "Is it because I'm more handsome?"
Xia Shou rolled his eyes: "Come on, with your little white face, the charm is not as good as one-thousandth of the old man when he was in his prime!"
Xue Chuan pursed his lips: "Hey, narcissistic maniac." β
"Who is the narcissistic maniac?" Xia Shou found that Xue Chuan's lower limit was also low and terrifying.
"Then you can tell me, what else can it be because of me besides being handsome?" Xue Chuan was unconvinced.
Of course, this kind of disobedience is naturally just ridicule, Xue Chuan can't be so stupid as to really think that he survived by his face.
Xia Shou narrowed his eyes: "Luck." β
"Huh, luck?" Xue Chuan almost laughed out loud: "Old Xia, it's not me who said, luck sounds real or fake, even if you say that this is my destiny and destined to survive this catastrophe, I still believe it." β
Xia Shouyin laughed twice: "Don't you want to know why I said that?"
When Xue Chuan saw Xia Shou's appearance, he also restrained his smile and became a little more serious: "Why?"
"Someone replaced your bones, but in order to balance cause and effect, they gave you extraordinary understanding and luck. "There was something indescribable in Xia Shou's eyes.
"Perception and luck can still be given?" Xue Chuan's face was full of disbelief.
"Hehe, who can say for sure what is in this world?" Xia Shou laughed twice as if he had a deep meaning, and then said to Xue Chuan: "Don't dance the hammer like an orangutan, go, go out and practice actual combat." β
Then, Xia Shou turned around and left with his hands on his back.
Xue Chuan frowned and said, "Actual combat?"
Xia Shou turned his head and smiled gloomily: "Me!"
