Chapter 44: Dan Fire Demon
The rest of the year was really tough.
According to He Rouyu, cultivators don't eat at noon, at least at the top of this mountain, so Lu Ran was still hungry until the evening.
Fortunately, Ke Zhizi was gentle and considerate, and found a few fairy carrots from the fairy vegetable garden to cushion Lu Ran's stomach.
As soon as it got dark, the unlucky old Taoist priest quietly appeared, like the head of all families, and asked around, and the first thing he asked was, have you eaten the meal?
Remember what you want every day.
Then, he began to watch the wind.
Huihuan's half-hung explanation is that the wind determines the fire, and the fire determines the Dan.
Dan can not succeed, it all depends on the momentary wind.
On the top of the red pagoda, an eight-sided Sendai can be seen with the naked eye, and the old Taoist priest suspended and meditated on it for a full hour, not moving at all.
In the end, the timing of the furnace was finally observed, and the next day, it was secretly in line with the "dragons and rain".
Alchemy is not only such a technical work, but also a metaphysics within metaphysics.
Therefore, there is a special "alchemist" in the practice, who has spent his whole life refining the true gold pill of "one grain of ascension", "innate creation" and "transcendent sanctification".
But Qingwu also once said that relying on pills to practice is just an ideal.
But three thousand years have passed, and the speed of human progress is unimaginable to her.
After all, Lu Ran had taken the blue pill that could temporarily obtain the power of the "Red Immortal", but that pill came from Li Yan's sect where they were.
In 3022, he also briefly learned through some media that there was a drug called "Heaven Replenishing Vaccine" in that side of the world, which was used to strengthen a teenager with immortal power like Hui Huan.
Therefore, Lu Ran is very interested in the pill refined by the old Taoist priest of the Ring Sect, if it is really refined into a pill of immortal cultivation elixir, then Lu Ran will ask for one, and instantly improve his cultivation, not only can he fight side by side with Huihuan and Kezhizi, but it is not impossible to go to Char to kill the Quartet when the time comes.
Hmph, kill the four evils of the Li family, oh no, it's the three evils now......
"Hey, wake up, Brother Ran, your saliva is flowing on my clothes!" Huihuan pushed Lu Ran, who was asleep against him, and then removed his hand that was holding half a carrot and poking it into his body.
"Let's go, Master, let's all go into the Dan room."
"Let's go, let's go to alchemy!"
Lu Ran rubbed his eyes, wiped his saliva, and happily followed.
……
Overlooking the open space of Pingtou Peak, the whole plane is in the shape of a "by", and the small red tower is on the point that protrudes from the word "by".
A section of blade-like cliffs, walking past in the dark mountain night, as if there is no road under your feet, is extremely thrilling.
Fortunately, Lu Ran had long been accustomed to acting in the dark, so he also followed his predecessors steadily and arrived at the bottom of the small tower.
The shape of the small red tower is very casual, very similar to the carrot that Fang Zhizi stuffed to Lu Ran, with a Sendai at the top, a small door at the bottom, and many holes like windows open at random on it, all for smoke exhaust.
Shocking, unforgettable all-over red is its most attractive point.
When Lu Ran really got closer, he found that the red tower body was not mud, brick, or stone, but was made of red rune paper, so the surface was so uneven, and the shape was so irregular.
This is a paper tower that is dozens of feet high.
It's even more interesting to use fire in a paper tower to make pills.
Lu Ran's interest was even stronger, looking left and right, and asking questions non-stop.
Huihuan, Kezhizi was in front, and successfully passed through the small wooden red door that only allowed one person to enter and exit.
When it was Lu Ran's turn, Bai Yunpiao, who had been waiting there for a long time, stopped him with his big hand and said three words coldly: "You can't do it." ”
"What's not going to work?" Lu Ran didn't care, he was so excited that he could bear it, and he was about to rush in.
Bai Yunpiao's tone was still flat: "You didn't eat meat." ”
"Eating meat? You call that thing meat? "You don't care about going back, just break in.
It turned out that this Bai Yunpiao really wanted to give Lu Ran to eat the flesh of that fleshy man, but Lu Ran didn't eat it, he was angry.
But it is clear that neither his good intentions nor his unhappiness can be well expressed.
After all, Lu Ran didn't know him on the first day, but at the mountain inn, when he was still the second shopkeeper, he didn't think this person was so serious.
Also, at that time he was a man, and at this time, he was a birdman.
If he hadn't been able to beat him, Lu Ran would have gone up and folded his red tassels, and he would be angry when he looked at it.
In the end, it was the old Taoist priest who said in the tower, "Since they have all gone up the mountain, it doesn't hurt for those who are destined to come in", and Bai Yunpiao gave way to a way, but his face was still expressionless.
It's just that my eyes seem to be rolling up.
Inside the Red Tower, there is no cave.
The most striking thing is a huge red Dan furnace, but unlike what you imagined, this Dan furnace has no lid, no cabin and no holes, and it is more like a large bowl with a slightly smaller bowl in it.
"Where is the Dan fire?" Lu Ran searched and searched, but he didn't find a place to set fire, ordinary stoves should have isolation cabins, fire cabins, and some openings for smoke and slag discharge.
Ke Zhizi pulled the corner of Lu Ran's clothes and motioned him to look up.
Under the top of the hollow tower, there are countless long red exercises, and there is a huge thing hanging upside down in the red practice, like a horse and not a horse, and the whole body is covered with scales like burning red coal, constantly emitting firelight and bursting out of sparks, so there is no need to light the lamp in this tower.
But strangely, the beast had no eyes, and where it was supposed to have eyes, there were only two ugly scars, which must have been dug up by someone.
This beast is already alive.
It should be incomparably powerful, and even the saliva that flowed from the corners of its mouth at this time carried sparks and dripped into the Nadan furnace with a loud bang.
He Rouyu introduced lightly: "Danhuo Xuan, also known as Danhuo Demon, the Demon of Devouring Fire." ”
Lu Ran glanced at it, and couldn't bear to look at it any more, so he just listened to the old Taoist priest's order at this time, the four of you are on one side, and tonight, don't move, understand?
These four people refer to Hui Huan, Ke Zhizi, He Rouyu, and Lu Ran.
Lu Ran raised his hand, then can I go and make it convenient first?
The old Taoist priest with an unlucky face looked even more unlucky, but he actually smiled, didn't say anything, and let Lu Ran go.
When Lu Ran came back, he found that there had been changes in this Dan room.
One after another, the indifferent and vigorous white clouds drifted in many strange objects from outside the tower.
There is an incomparably smooth and beautiful white tiger skin.
There are five swords of different lengths, but at a glance it is clear that they are from the same furnace and the same swordsmith.
There was a bowl of silver water.
A handful of black golden sand.
Two horns of the head of an unknown beast.
The nine soul pots are exactly the same as the one Lu Ran saw in the Huihuan room, and they look exactly the same on the outside.
……
Lu Ran's gaze stopped on the last two things.
The first thing he knew was a meat man, the so-called "Meat Tai Sui".
The second thing was blood-red, like a skeleton with an elongated skeleton, but it didn't look like it.
If you look closely, this skull has two horns, and in addition to the eyes, there is an extra hole in the forehead.
Three eyes?
"What is this?"
Lu Ran pointed to the red skeleton and asked.
