Chapter 172: Preparing for Advancement
At 11:40 p.m., as if she had set an alarm clock, Huai Shi opened her eyes from her dream, washed her face in her pajamas, pushed open the basement door, and went straight down the zipline to the cellar.
In the familiar sweltering heat, only the inferior air purifier was humming.
"Is it time?"
Huai Shi simply sat on the ground, staring at the cauldron that was silently running in the layers of steel in front of himβor, rather, it should be called the Rune Sealing Furnace.
This thing that looks like a huge hot water bucket opened during a rural banquet is not amazing, and it cost Huai Shi more than 3 million yuan, and the second-hand goods that were eliminated from the regular alchemy workshop were bought.
In the words of the crow, you can't buy a brand new 30 million, just buy a second-hand that can be used, and you will lose it after using it once anyway.
One-time refining furnace.
Extravagant to this extent, Huai Shi only hopes that it will be worth the money.
No need for a clock, the crow listened to the muffled echo in the furnace, "Five minutes to go." β
No one spoke in the silence.
Except for the humming purifier, only the faint sound of water droplets coming from the furnace remained.
Different from other alchemy kettles, this furnace adopts the method of hydroponic low-temperature cold smelting, using a special solution to fully atomize the material and then carry out molecular level coupling and extraction, sacrificing time and efficiency, and pursuing absolute stability and gentleness.
In the words of the developers, no matter how flammable and explosive explosives you overload it, there will never be any explosions.
Absolutely leak-free, absolutely safe.
Huai Shi can only hope that what they say is true.
Otherwise, once the things in this leak out, not to mention the Chalcedony Pavilion, the entire Qingxiu Mountain behind will be at risk of being polluted.
This is the case for most of the things that the sublimators study, and they have to be 100,000 percent careful or 100,000 percent risky, and the slightest mistake will create a hell on earth.
What is being refined and purified in it now is an out-and-out poison.
According to the recipe of the crow, half of Huaishi's blood was used as the base material, as if it was a bartending, and after going through hundreds of processes in three days, mixed with various materials, the blood of the Yin Soul full of pure negative energy was completely transformed into a toxin containing all kinds of primitive malice and dark essence.
Whether it is the most primitive plague recipe or the essence of wolf venom, it is followed by smallpox, dengue, Ebola, and other terrible plagues that must be properly preserved in various biochemical laboratories, and even all kinds of viruses and bacteria that circulate at the border......
Throughout the process, Raven showed a terrifying skill that was enough to win the top spot even in the World Finals of the Kitchen Demon Competition.
Even when he recalls the scene when he carefully manipulated these things a few days ago, Huai Shi himself will have nightmares.
The thing he made to kill crows when he was playing in the past two days was completely pediatric in front of it, and he didn't even deserve to carry his shoes.
In the crow's work, one-third of the poison is to create this kind of mutation so fast that it can be measured in seconds, and the remaining two-thirds is to use various methods to make it degenerate, atavistic, and preserve the most basic institutions, and then forcibly put it into the most stable state of sleep.
It's like creating a demon and forcibly turning it into a baby.
If he could understand a little bit of Huai's poems in the first third, then in the later part, he had no idea how the crow had accomplished such an incredible miracle.
And......
"What is the picture?" asked Huai Shi, "It's a bit of a waste of effort to build a building, and then bulldoze it, leaving only the foundation?"
"Doesn't this prove that this foundation is enough to support a tall building?"
Raven said calmly: "It is enough to prove it. β
Huai Shi wanted to ask again, but heard a crisp echo from the furnace.
The long smelting has come to an end.
"Let's go and turn off the air purifier and ventilation fan. The crow said cautiously, "Just in case." β
Soon, all the appliances were turned off.
Huai Shi pulled up layers of covers, and then completely sealed the last alloy gate, cutting off the connection between inside and outside, and the narrow cellar became more and more suffocating.
Luckily, the crow is not a living creature, just a cloud of ink, and he can enter a state of ghostly spirits, minimizing the need for oxygen and avoiding suffocation.
As the doors of the furnace were opened, a test tube with crystal water droplets slowly rose from the core of the atomized liquid ammonia and various solution vapors that suddenly escaped out.
In the test tube, about 20 milliliters of blood has been refined to colorless, and it looks like some new type of normal saline, which is unremarkable.
In the cold of liquid ammonia, it remains in a liquid state, and once it returns to normal temperature, then it will quickly vaporize, and at that time, demons with infinite variables will occupy every corner of the entire cellar.
If no one takes the initiative to catalyze, in a few days, tens of thousands of viruses will erupt from it as if they were rushing to the market, turning this place into a forbidden area.
"Are you ready?"
The raven looked back at him.
Huai Shi subconsciously took a deep breath, held her breath, and then nodded slowly. Carefully picked up the tweezers, and then opened the box beside him.
The box contained one of several prizes he had seen in the break room, a broken bowl with a handful of ashes in it.
That's a gift he got from one of the judges of the Chef Magic Competition.
I don't know what's going on, but it's good to choose my own mask.
In the words of the crow, it is something of little use - although it is not planned, since it has been encountered, it is a surprise to be able to use it.
Although it looks like a bowl, it seems to have been subjected to some kind of law, and no matter how you shake it in your hand, no matter how the ashes in the bowl roll, it will not fall out of the bowl. Even if it is upside down, it will hover in the air inside the bowl.
It's like being tied inside.
But this bondage is extremely fragile, and it only takes one tweezer to pierce it.
When Huaishi's tweezers stretched into it, countless ashes suddenly collapsed inward with the tweezers closed, and in the end, they turned into a speck of dust caught in the middle by the tweezers.
The near-endless resentment and anger condensed into one point.
It was a dark essence far beyond the ashes, enough to throw out the negative energy of Huai Shi out of hundreds of thousands of streets of calamity crystals.
Huai Shi can't imagine what kind of fate and encounters will make people be burned to ashes, and there is still such a huge scale of resentment and despair.
Now, as the tweezers swing and loosen, the ash falls silently into the tube.
Merge with the virus that has an infinite aftermath.
There is not the slightest resistance or abnormality, nor any rejection or resistance, the two become one, as if they were born as such.
As a result, the unconscious virus seemed to be endowed with a dark soul, setting off bursts of gray ripples, countless colors rapidly changed, and in the end, it turned into a pitch black that was difficult to illuminate even by countless scorching suns.
And so it was done. β
The crow quickly closed the lid of the test tube, and breathed a sigh of relief, as if relieved: "Although this kind of thing has no technical content, it can be said that it is exciting to do in this kind of environment that can almost be said to be without any protection, and if you make a slight mistake, your house will explode......"
"Can we find another place next time?" Huai Shi wiped a cold sweat: "There are so many unoccupied places on Qingxiu Mountain, so they want to be at my house." β
"Don't forget, the Chalcedony Pavilion is equivalent to a half-finished spirit coffin, and there is an old house here, just like there is a spirit coffin to suppress the leylines and floating spirits, at least the purity of the essentia can be guaranteed. Do you think alchemy is a place to invite guests to dinner, and you can just find a place to spread out a table? Even if you invite guests to dinner, you can't be so unsophisticated, right?"
Raven carefully placed the test tube into the storage box covered with dry ice, and bowed his head in satisfaction, "This way, we can begin the advancement of the Yin Spirit." β
As she spoke, she pointed to the floor in the middle of the cellar, and her tone became charming, like a late-night female anchor: "Okay, let's lie down, time is precious, let's not waste it." β
Huai Shi rolled her eyes.
Sure enough, expecting this woman to be more serious is a waste of time.
Huai Shi lay down on her back, leaned on the pillow, rolled up the sleeves of her pajamas, skillfully tied the rubber belt for herself, and then flicked her pale forearm, looking at the bulging blood vessels on it.
"Come on. He closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at them again: "Don't pity me because I'm a delicate flower......"
The crow was stunned for a long time, and after a long time, he said curtly: "I'm sorry, this stalk is so old, I didn't react for a while." β
β...... You're going to hurry up, OK?"
Huai Shi was completely powerless.
The big characters are flattened, waiting for the next transformation of the crow.
If I had to explain it succinctly, it would be that he was going to do hemodialysis.
That's right, this is the crow's plan, Huai Shi's shortcut to advance from a ghost to a mountain ghost.
As the legendary spirits and ghosts that walked in the mountains, and were once confused as miracles of the gods, the mountain ghost stigmata in the heavenly lineage is actually essentially the same as the yin spirit.
Their talent lies in their ability to spread their attributes to their surroundings.
The only difference is the medium.
The Yin Soul is through essentia, and the advanced mountain ghost can obtain a vitality that is completely compatible with the plant in addition to the original essentia mist.
In fact, this talent is really suitable for raising flowers and plants......
However, unlike the druids, the mountain spirits cannot make plants grow and wither out of thin air, but through the circulation of life force to achieve the effect of giving and extracting.
In short, after advancing, in addition to the effect of its own ash mist, Huai Shi will also gain the attribute of plant affinity, as well as the ability to give and extract plant life force to a certain extent.
It's a little expert at planting grass.
The original progression was not so simple, but with the Urn of Tree Blood in hand, you can skip the lengthy rituals and painful transformations, and get the best results in the quickest and least effort-saving way.
And in the process......
The crow had a whim and planned to add some material to Huai Shi.
