Chapter Twenty-Five: Brownish-Yellow Crystal Ore

"This elixir is really very precious as it said in the jade tablet, and I gave it to you all at once, it seems that the effect is very ambiguous?" Merlin walked over, looking at the tall black panther, he still had a little palpitations in his heart, after all, it was the first time to look at a spirited beast so closely, he was still a little scared in his heart.

"Okay brother, I prepared 10,000 spirit coins for you in the beast taming card, I see that your injuries are not completely healed, so go in first to fully recover your strength, I am calling you out." ā€

When the panther heard this, he suddenly let out a low roar and knelt down.

"Haha, there's no need for this, your master and I don't like to come to this set," Merlin said with a stunned smile, taking out the small wooden card, "Then you go in first to recover your strength." Merlin said, and as soon as his mind moved, the panther was absorbed into the beast taming card.

Next, because Merlin had the black panther of the fourth-degree demon beast, he decided to make a good break in this Red Bank Forest.

But before that, he decided to take a look at the people of the Nightingale Hall who were killed, whether the storage spirit weapons on their bodies were still there, he knew that the disciple of the Beast Taming Gate must not have taken these into account in order to hunt him down, and Merlin had already drawn a positive conclusion from what he saw in his ring.

Merlin quickly returned to the place where he had shot the Nightingale Masked Man, only to see the corpses lying on the ground one by one.

Merlin walked up to a masked man, "It seems that it is true, the ring on his hand is still there." He said as he squatted down and pulled out the ring from the masked man's hand, "Nightingale Hall is actually so rich, even the spirit priests use this kind of storage spiritual weapon. ā€

Merlin finally collected the masked man's rings and the storage bags of the dead in the Falling Moon Pavilion, and finally popped up wisps of red flames and burned them to ashes.

"This spirit can be easily burned to ashes by my flames, but my speed is far from that of a spirit priest, otherwise I would have used my flame to fight the enemy. Merlin sighed, looking at the corpses all over the ground, and he couldn't help but sigh again, "This world is so cruel. ā€

After Merlin finished speaking, he strode towards the other side, and he suddenly saw Zhao Yue.

"Well, there must be something hateful about the poor man, and if you don't leave me, maybe you won't die. Merlin looked at Zhao Yue, who was stabbed in the throat, and said, "Okay, for the sake of our acquaintance, I'll bury you." ā€

After Merlin finished speaking, he took out his big knife and began to dig up dirt on the ground, he was going to dig a big pit to bury Zhao Yue.

As a result, as soon as he dug for a while, he found a quick brownish-yellow crystal ore.

"Is it a spirit stone?" Merlin said in surprise.

He quickly cut a piece with a knife and took it in his hand to observe it carefully, "The general spirit stones are colorless and transparent crystals and have no attributes, this is actually brown and yellow, and the soil represents yellow, is this the earth spirit stone of the earth attribute of the earth? No, why can't I feel a little aura on it." ā€

Merlin knows that the spiritual stones with attributes in the monk world are very precious, and most of the spiritual cultivators in this world have no attributes, but there are also some spiritual cultivators who practice single-attribute exercises, and they get single-attribute spiritual energy after absorbing it.

For example, the spiritual cultivation of fire attribute exercises, the aura they cultivate is fire attribute, and alchemists and refiners are often from these fire spiritual cultivations.

"Look at the diamond-like luster of the ore, and the transparent brownish-yellow color," Merlin suddenly remembered the chemistry books he read, "I'll go, this can't be natural sulfur ore." ā€

"Wouldn't you just know if you gave it a try? Merlin said as he held the ore in one hand and a red flame in the other, and began to burn the ore.

Soon the ore was burning, and the flame was blue-blue, and Merlin sniffed it lightly with his nose and asked for a pungent smell of sulfur.

"Sure enough, it's natural sulfur ore. Merlin extinguished the flame in his hand, dropped the ore, and kicked it away: "I rely on the old hen of your second uncle's family to make Ben Shuai Bai happy." ā€

"I would have made a fortune in the 21st century with so many high-quality natural sulfur mines, but ...... here"

Merlin was suddenly stunned, and he jumped up suddenly, "I can make explosives, I can refine sulfur to make explosives, this is my strength, as far as I know, explosives have not appeared in this world, with explosives, it can help me kill many enemies, and when the time comes, I will blow up the Spirit Ghost Sect into ruins." ā€

Merlin excitedly dug a pit with his knife again, and soon he found a large amount of brownish-yellow natural sulfur ore.

Looking at so much ore, "it seems that the results of the experiments I did in the past are completely successful today." ā€

Merlin remembered that when he was at his aunt's house, he had been working on explosives every day for a while, and he finally finished the experiment, and during the experiment, he also cracked the wall of one of their neighbor's pig farms, and soon the whole wall collapsed, causing his aunt to lose a lot of money to let him go.

"Looks like you've brought me good luck. Merlin looked at the dead Zhao Yue, he found a new place to dig a pit and buried her in it, and erected a simple tombstone for him, looking at the tombstone he sighed, "I hope you will be an ordinary girl in the next life and spend your life happily." ā€

Merlin clapped his palms, turned to the side and started his mining business, time passed slowly, and inadvertently piles of saltpeter mines piled up like small mountains appeared on the ground.

"Grandma's, the strength of a miner of a sixth-degree spirit disciple is extraordinary, and the mine I dug in just half a day is enough for a dozen or so big trucks to transport. Merlin said, and with a wave of his hand, he put all of these things into the ring.

"But the soil here is dark and damp, and the potassium nitrate content of this soil should not be low. Merlin knew that the main material used to make explosives was black powder, and the materials of black powder included sulfur, potassium nitrate, and charcoal.

"I must make some bombs in this dangerous Red Bank Forest, but I can't find saltpeter for a while, and the main ingredient of saltpeter is potassium nitrate, so it seems that I can only cook it with the black soil here. ā€

Merlin grabbed a handful of soft black soil, took it to his nose and sniffed it, and a smell of corruption suddenly entered his nose.

Merlin remembered the introduction of nitrate in a previous book: after the organic matter in the soil decays, nitrite bacteria and nitric acid bacteria are used to form nitric acid, which combines with potassium, sodium, magnesium and other ions in the soil to form nitrates such as potassium nitrate and sodium nitrate. Nitrate is generally found in toilets, pigsties, cattle pens, old walls in courtyards, cliff edges, caves, and floors that are not easily washed by rainwater. The nitrate soil is moist, not easy to dry, and turns slightly purple-red after being exposed to the sun.

"This natural sulfur ore is heated and melted to remove impurities in order to obtain yellow sulfur, while the extraction of potassium nitrate from nitrate requires boiling, and after the aqueous solution is boiled dry, there are two layers of crystals, the square crystals are sodium, and the long crystalline layer is potassium nitrate. You'll need a pot to get both, and it looks like I'll have to use my alchemy furnace to get it. ā€

Merlin said and hurriedly took out his half-human-high black Dan furnace, which was the Ding Dan furnace he got from the five wolves of Huangshan, and then Merlin took out a ring, and the water gushed out from the ring, which was his special ring for water.

Since he looked at the Jiulong Slope that crossed Lop Nur, he knew that when he went out in the wild, the source of water was the most precious, so he specially used a ring to fill a ring with sweet water.

Soon Merlin filled the Dan furnace with more than half of the furnace water before it stopped, and then he dug up a large pile of black dirt and poured it into it, and finally threw a red flame in his hand and began to burn the bottom of the Dan furnace.

Due to the very high temperature of Merlin's flame, the black paste made of mud and water began to boil in the blink of an eye, and it was burned dry before it took a cup of tea.

Merlin used his aura to protect his hands and took out a small transparent crystal from the hot soil, "Grandma's, this black soil is really rich in potassium nitrate. ā€

Merlin said as he brought out the whole furnace of dirt, and looking at the crystals all over the ground, he crouched down and began to quickly sift through the dirt.

After about a cup of tea exercises, he sat down on the stone beside him, panting from exhaustion, "I rely on the old hen of your second master's house, if only there was a bamboo sieve, let me sift them one by one, but fortunately, I am a sixth-degree spirit disciple, and the speed is fast enough." ā€

Merlin looked at the small pile of crystals on the ground, he collected them into the ring with a wave, and then after washing the Dan furnace, he poured the natural sulfur ore into the Dan furnace and began the great business of refining sulfur.

As a result, it didn't take long for him to refine most of the sulfur in the furnace, and looking at the yellow sulfur, he knew that he only needed to burn some black charcoal now, and he could immediately make black powder.

Merlin quickly found wood and threw a flame, but because his flame was too hot, it burned to ashes with a bang.

Merlin had to get another pile of wood, but this time he was smart, and as soon as he set fire to the wood, he quickly threw out a blue ice flame to cool down the wood that had become black charcoal, and only then did he get a large pile of black charcoal.

Merlin then cut down a large tree that was difficult for a man to hold onto, and cut it into stakes of uniform length, each of which was about half the height of his body.

"Such a hard stake is much stronger than the stone used in the land. ā€

Merlin said and then crushed the sulfur, black charcoal, and potassium nitrate into powder with wood on a large bluestone, and then stirred them together in proportion, and soon the black powder was made.

Looking at the black gunpowder, Merlin grabbed a little bit of it that was still on the ground with his hand, and popped out a little red spark on it, and with a bang, the black gunpowder instantly burned brightly.
