Chapter 128: Fire Spirit Mutation
87_87380 Zhou Xuan has always believed that Luo Xiu has passed the assessment of the third-grade alchemist at the age of fourteen, which is already rare, and he is one of the best in the entire Yan Kingdom.
Perhaps only the personal disciples of some old fellows, geniuses who have been exposed to alchemy since childhood, can reach this level at this age.
This is still Zhou Xuan's speculation, at least he doesn't know who else in the Yan Kingdom can pass the guΓ² three grades assessment at the age of fourteen.
But he didn't expect this Luo Xiu to drop a big bomb on him again, and he actually had to conduct the assessment of the fourth-grade alchemist within three days!
In the entire Yunzhou Alchemist Guild, Situ Mingyue, a fourth-grade alchemist in his early forties, is the youngest and most promising, and the rest of the elders, that is not a bad old man who is half a hundred years old and has ancient armor.
Is it possible to take the fourteen-grade alchemist exam at the age of fourteen?
There won't be such freaks in the entire Southern Heaven Domain!
Even though Zhou Xuan was well-informed, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit: "Elder Luo, I heard you right, right?
"Yes, the president also knows that the Longli Pill I refined has reached the peak of the third grade, and if you want to advance to the fourth grade, you must have Danhuo, and now I have obtained an earth fire essence, and I want to refine and absorb it, once the absorption is successful, I believe that the assessment of the fourth grade is still somewhat certain. β
"I know this, you came to ask me about this last time, but this is too shocking!"
"Hehe, I haven't thanked the president for his advice. β
"You don't need to be polite to me, but Elder Luo, our Yunzhou Alchemist Guild can preside over the third-grade assessment at most, because to assess the fourth-grade alchemist, then at least three fifth-grade alchemists need to be invigilated, and only the old man here is a fifth-grade alchemist, and the invigilators are not enough." β
"And this one?" Luo Xiu was stunned for a moment, a little disappointed in his heart.
Zhou Xuan hurriedly said: "This is the case with the trade unions in various places, the assessment qualification of the four-grade alchemist is in Yanjing, if Elder Luo wants to take the assessment, you can refine the four-grade pill first, and I will submit it, and when you arrive in Yanjing, you can go to the Yanjing General Association for assessment with our elder card." β
Luo Xiu nodded, it seems that this is okay, anyway, I have to go to Yanjing, and it is the same to go there for the assessment, now go and take the essence of earth fire and refine the elixir.
"Elder Luo, I still have to remind you that once the Earth Fire Essence is nourished by the associated lava during the absorption process, it will become extremely violent, and the firepower will become more and more powerful, if you are not sure enough, you must not act rashly, the safest way is to separate the associated lava from the Earth Fire Essence. β
"Thank you, President, for your advice, I have my own measure in this matter. β
Luo Xiu and Zhou Xuan nodded goodbye and came to their quiet room.
After coming here, Luo Xiu first meditated on pranayama and meditation to adjust his state to the best.
He didn't even look at the Sumeru ring he got from the Huangqi Pavilion, nor did he look at the somewhat special bone pendant, these things would be distracting, the most important thing for him at the moment was to absorb the fire essence and become a four-grade alchemist as soon as possible.
He didn't plan to abandon the lava pendant, and since Luo Xiong and Luo Hu had given him such a big gift, he had no reason not to laugh at it.
What's more, Zhou Xuan said that when the fire essence is absorbed by the nourishment of the associated lava, there will be some chance of mutation, Luo Xiu is like this, if he knows this information, then he has to give it a try, whether it will be successful or not, if he doesn't try, he will not be willing.
After a week of practice, Luo Xiu felt that he was in the best condition, and he took out the lava pendant and hung it on his chest.
He took out the cold iron box from the Sumeru ring, and the cold iron box was still warm in his hand, which showed that the temperature of the earth fire spirit inside was extremely high.
He also took out a hundred-year-old Xuanbing Essence and a thousand-year-old cold spring water, which was the treasure that Luo Xiu relied on to suppress the temperature of the fire essence.
Silently running the dantian qi, the water vapor around the body began to float.
Gradually, there was already a faint layer of white mist floating on the surface of Luo Xiu's body, and if you observed carefully, you would find that the surface of the items around Luo Xiu was covered with a layer of water mist, and a little water droplets were hung.
Feeling that he was in good shape, Luo Xiu stretched out his hand and opened a gap in the cold iron box slightly.
"Whew!"
Just opened the crack like spider silk, and felt a scorching wave of air rushing towards his face, like a fire under the scorching sun, if Luo Xiu hadn't turned on the water vapor in advance, I am afraid that his eyebrows and hair would have been burned this time.
Despite this, Luo Xiu's protective water vapor was still washed away and almost collapsed, so frightened that he hurriedly released the water vapor again, so that he could withstand the fire that seeped out.
"This is just an earth fire spirit, if it is a sky fire, I am afraid that it will turn me into ashes this time, it seems that it is still a bit careless. β
Luo Xiu didn't use the cold spring water and the Xuanbing essence immediately, but now he just opened a gap, if he used these two treasures, it would be difficult to continue later.
Taking a deep breath, he continued to release water vapor to resist the overflowing firepower, and put the cold iron box into the Dan furnace, which could ensure that the power of the earth fire would not burn other items in the room, Luo Xiu sat in front of the Dan furnace and began to tentatively inject the dantian qi.
Absorbing the earth fire is to let the dantian qi and the earth fire essence closely fuse, so that the fire essence can fully accept its dantian qi, rely on each other, and will not cause any harm to itself before it can be considered successful.
This process requires countless temptations with dantian qi, during which the firepower of the fire essence must be continuously consumed until the fire essence fully accepts the penetration of dantian qi.
A trace of dantian qi touched, and in an instant, a huge firepower surged, this trace of dantian qi was like a moth to a fire, and it was instantly extinguished by the impact of powerful firepower!
Luo Xiu couldn't help but snort, and the backlash of fire made him almost vomit blood.
"It's so hot! It's so strong, and the temperature of the flame is probably several times higher than that of the normal flame. β
"It seems that you need to sharpen the strength of this fire spirit, and there is no possibility of subduing it if you continue like this. β
Luo Xiu quickly determined that he could not subdue the fire essence with just this trace of water vapor of his own, so he simply stopped being verbose, and first picked up the bottle containing the thousand-year-old cold spring water.
This bottle of cold spring water was tricked from Wang Shi, and there were more than a hundred drops of water in it, each of which was extremely cold, just used to suppress the fire power of the fire spirit.
Tilt the mouth of the bottle slightly, and drop a drop of cold spring water into the cold iron box where the fire spirit is located.
"Poof!"
A wisp of green smoke emanated from the cold iron box, and the cold iron box was also restless, as if the fire spirit was a little enraged, and a more powerful firepower was emitted.
"The little thing is very grumpy, and it looks like it's going to cool you down. β
Luo Xiu tried it twice, and poured about ten drops of cold spring water at one time!
The fire spirit violently encountered so much cold spring water, and the hot and cold attacks made it extremely uncomfortable, and the whole turned into a ball of flames, and slammed into the cold iron box.
Luo Xiu keenly felt that the temperature of the fire essence had dropped a bit.
He hurriedly injected the dantian qi again, testing the temperature of the fire essence, and also letting the fire essence get used to his own appeasement.
Luo Xiu not only has dantian qi, he also has divine thoughts, this time, he also injected divine thoughts into the cold iron box, and vaguely saw the shape of the fire essence.
Just like the word "fire", the fire spirit has hands and feet, but it looks more like a burning flame, and the sparks are constantly shooting out of the body, hitting the inner wall of the cold iron box, making a slight sound.
This time, Luo Xiu held on a little longer, but it was no more than a breath, and before the dantian qi was swallowed by the fire essence again, Luo Xiu's divine thoughts withdrew from the cold iron box.
It is also the loss of a lot of dantian qi, Luo Xiu secretly thought in his heart, if the dantian qi is insufficient, I am afraid that he does not have the strength to subdue the fire essence, no wonder anyone who has the fire essence must at least be in the realm of the pulse, just because the dantian qi in the realm of physical training is not enough.
After that, Luo Xiu dropped a drop of thousand-year-old cold spring water each time, and then injected it with dantian qi, so that the fire essence gradually adapted to the pacification of his dantian qi.
This is a long and arduous struggle, and thanks to Luo Xiu's water vapor protection, he will not be injured by the backlash of the fire spirit, and if he is an ordinary person, he will have to find another treasure that can protect himself.
The gap in the cold iron box was as thin as spider silk, just enough for the fire spirit to rush out, and time gradually passed, and three hours passed in the blink of an eye.
More than half of the bottle of thousand-year-old cold spring water had been consumed, and the fire spirit was getting weaker and weaker, and after Luo Xiu dropped into the seventieth drop of thousand-year-old cold spring water, he finally felt that the fire spirit was powerless to resist.
The flames around this little thing were already much smaller, almost extinguished, and the tiny body was almost transparent, faintly reddish.
"Well, this cold spring water is really useful, and the fire spirit has no power, but there is no sign of mutation. β
Luo Xiu couldn't care about feeling sorry for this expensive bottle of cold spring water at the moment, how could he be willing not to let the fire essence mutate.
Gritting his teeth, he took out the lava pendant and placed it directly in the gap of the cold iron box.
"Teng!"
This scene was like dry wood encountering a blazing fire, a huge flame gushed out of the Dan furnace, Luo Xiu was caught off guard and was rushed up, although there was a water vapor to resist most of the flame impact, it still burned his head into a mess of scorched grass!
The lava pendant was reduced to pieces in a matter of breaths, and all the fire power was injected into the body of the fire spirit, and the cold iron box that imprisoned it instantly turned red, as if it was about to be melted by the fire spirit.
"Damn! the preparation is still a little insufficient, and the fire essence must not be allowed to rush out of this Dan furnace, otherwise the Alchemist Guild will be in trouble!"
Luo Xiu didn't care about anything at the moment, he directly took out the Trapped Array Banner and closed the small space of himself and the Dan Furnace, and poured twenty drops of thousand-year-old cold spring water at one time, hoping to suppress the firepower of the fire essence.
But this time the thousand-year-old cold spring water didn't seem to be so easy to use, and the twenty drops of spring water did make the momentum of the fire spirit a little more restrained, but the next moment, the fire spirit actually made a "hiss" chirp, and I don't know if it was because the fire was too strong, and the temperature actually rose again.
The cold iron box could no longer withstand the high temperature of the fire spirit, and began to twist and deform, and small holes appeared in the wall of the box, which was about to melt into molten iron.
The bursting sparks began to come out of the broken cold iron box**, crackling on the wall of the Dan furnace, and a * heat wave rolled in, and Luo Xiu felt that his clothes were burning.
"With such strong firepower, is it really possible to mutate?"
Seeing that the effect of the cold spring water was no longer strong, Luo Xiu also broke the cauldron and resolutely took out the hundred-year-old Xuanbing Essence and put it into the Dan furnace!
Regardless of being stingy with dantian, Luo Xiu drove the Xuanbing Spirit and suppressed it towards the cold iron box.
The arrival of the Xuan Ice Essence was just right, and it landed right on the cold iron box, and the slightest white mist rose, and the cold and flames began to cancel each other out in the Dan furnace!
The hundred-year-old Xuan Ice Essence is an extremely cold thing, and its effect is stronger than that of cold spring water, and it really greatly suppressed the arrogance of the Fire Spirit at the beginning.
But in the time of more than ten breaths, the flame that had already converged rose violently again, and in the hole of the cold iron box, the fire spirit actually poked out the arm of the flame, and it seemed that it was about to get out of trouble!
Vaguely, Luo Xiu seemed to feel the love of the fire spirit, which was a kind of rage, burning a qiΔ love xΓΉ!
"It's going to mutate!" was Luo Xiu's only feeling
