Chapter 139: Fifty-Nine Sanyang Zengyuan Dan
Excellence walked around the cave and came to the entrance of the cave, only to see Jason the Fire Beast lying there bored, looking at a tree outside the cave in a daze. After looking behind it for a while, I couldn't help but be a little disappointed when I saw that it didn't feel it at all, this guy's sense of smell was too poor.
Looking at the entrance of the cave, the aura really didn't leak out again, but many plants and trees in the distance seemed to have been burned by the fire, and he glanced at the fire lin beast around him, and said with a smile: "You burned these plants and trees?"
Only then did the Fire Lin Beast realize that Excellence had come behind him, so he said with a sincere face: "Master, Jason knows that his cultivation is not high, and his qualifications are average, but his master's orders will definitely be completed, so I burned all of them when I saw the grass and trees that had returned to green." ”
Excellence's heart warmed, this guy is stupid, but he is serious, he went around outside, and found that the bewildering magic circle he had set up was still functioning normally, and no one should come.
He returned to the entrance of the cave and looked at the Huolin Beast and said with a smile: "Not bad, yes, continue to guard the entrance of the cave, and I will go inside to refine the Sanyang Zengyuan Pill for you." ”
When the fire linmon heard this, it was overjoyed and shouted and promised, "Please rest assured, master, Jason will never be able to guard a fly and not get in." ”
When Excellence excavated the ice for thousands of years before, there was a special alchemy room there, and the purpose was to refine the fire pill. At this time, he came to the Dan room, took out a small yellow tripod from the different space, took out a piece of Lieyang Zhi, put it in the tripod, added some stone lotus and mica, covered it, sat there and said with a smile: "Lao Wu, it's time for us to merge again, you can be careful." ”
"Come on, boy, if I had helped you control the Dan Furnace last time, you would have controlled the fire yourself, and there wouldn't have been so many waste pills, but this time you finally won't be able to?"
"I forgot about you then, and you old boy didn't remind me, so you wasted so many things. This time I can't do without you, and I can't stop the leakage of the essence of vitality by myself. ”
"Okay, you simulate the steps in the sea of consciousness first, so that I can know when to do something. ”
There are three stages required to refine the Sanyang Zengyuan Pill, the first stage is the Lieyang Zhi fusion stage, this stage only needs to keep the flame at a certain temperature to make the Dan furnace evenly heated, and ordinary alchemists can do it.
The second stage is the yang refining stage, at this time, the yang pith should be added, because the temperature of the yang pith is too high, this stage not only can not be heated, but also a certain cooling treatment must be done to keep the temperature in a suitable range, otherwise the temperature is too high will scorch the Dansan formed by Lieyang Zhi.
The third stage is the Ning Dan stage after adding dragon blood, and the temperature required in this stage is not too high, and the pursuit is a stable dìng and uniform heating.
At first glance, the requirements of the three stages are not high, but when they are combined, it is a big problem, because there is a key part, that is, the three main materials are added in three times, and how to make the Qi Yuan essence not leak out when the materials are added in the last two times is a headache, and how many famous alchemists are planted on this.
The two simulated it a few times and found that the effect was very good, so Wu Shikat used his mind to control Xiao Ding, making it spin in the air non-stop, and the right hand of Excellence carried the power of pure yang to hit the outside of Xiao Ding, and began the refining journey of the Sanyang Zengyuan Pill.
In the first stage, there were no problems, Wu Shi Kat put the Dan furnace on the thermostat that had been prepared before, to help control the leakage of the air flow, and he himself condensed the opening and merging of the top lid of the Dan furnace and added the yang marrow.
Fortunately, the two have been cooperating for so long, and the pace has already been completely consistent, and there is no problem at this time.
As soon as the yang pith entered the Dan furnace, a high temperature was immediately generated, and the entire Dan furnace was burned red, and there was a danger of exploding at any time. Wu Shikat hurriedly controlled the Dan furnace in the air and spun non-stop, and the excellence opened his fingers widely, using the power of Xuan Yin to cool down the Dan furnace up and down, left and right.
At this time, if you look at it from the outside, the room where Excellence is located is steaming and colorful. As soon as the rising large amount of fog met the ice on the top, it immediately condensed and flowed down the wall along the dome, but because it was too cold, the condensed water did not flow to the ground and froze, forming ice bars and sticking to the wall.
After two or three days, the excess heat contained in the yang marrow in the Dan furnace was finally released, and the two of them joined forces again to add the dragon's blood to it, and then Zhuo Zhuo began to bake it at a low temperature, so that the Dansan condensed into a pill.
After more than half a day, Zhuo Zhuo heard the crackling sound of the Dan pills in the copper tripod colliding with each other, and hurriedly withdrew the power of pure yang, so that the Dan furnace naturally cooled down. Wu Shikat smiled proudly: "Extraordinary, how is the old man's control level?"
"So-so, according to your ability, it could have been better controlled, but I have found that your rotation speed has been uneven for a while. ”
Zhuo Zhuo said and opened the top cover, only to see more than a dozen pills lying quietly at the bottom of the furnace, but unfortunately, most of them were gray-white blind pills, and only one was a vermilion Cheng Dan.
"See, it's all caused by your uneven speed, otherwise it could be at least half as much. As he spoke, he put the pill into an ink-colored jade bottle, and put the waste pill into a small green box, these blind pills were also very effective in treating cold poison.
"You kid is, why don't you say that it's caused by the difference in the temperature of your ten fingers many times?"
Excellence saw that the materials were still sufficient, and then refined two furnaces, these two times were better, one into three pills, one into pills of four grains, although it was still less than ten percent, but it was already good, and Excellence did not pursue the rate of Cheng Dan too much.
After going out, he found that the ice silkworm still had no sign of waking up, and when he went to the entrance of the cave, he saw that the fire unicorn was concentrating on absorbing the aura in the air.
Excellence said that this guy finally knew how to work hard. So he called it to him, took out a freshly refined Sanyang Zengyuan Pill and handed it over, and said in a deep voice: "Go inside and eat it, and pay attention to the Yungong Huadan." ”
Seeing that Excellence had taken out the pill, the fire beast couldn't take his eyes off it, and when he heard it, he quickly thanked him, and rushed to the inner room with the pill in his hand, probably waiting anxiously.
Zhuo Zhuo went around outside, and found that the ice and snow on the ground had thickened another layer, and after doing the math, it was almost November, and I don't know if Hercules sent the cattle or not.
After thinking about it, he returned to it, and set up a small spirit gathering formation with the spiritual vein as the center, sat in the center of the formation, and began to use the qi induction technique to inhale the essence of the spiritual energy to temper the essence of the soul.
In this way, about half a month passed, Hercules and Zhuo Yan finally came, and after talking about it, they knew why they didn't come until now.
When they drove the cattle back to Tirens, Eurystheus did not bother any more, but he heard the bad news: Argos, king of Argos, Adrastos, and six other heroes were leading a large army against the city of Thebais.
Although Hercules had been expelled from the country by the Thebai king Itocles before, it was also his hometown, and the city where he was born and raised, it was impossible to watch it destroyed, so he rushed to Thebais.
It was too late to arrive, the war was over, but the result was much more than he expected, and quite dramatic.
It is said that in the days before the battle, the Argos had the upper hand and at one point they had reached the head of Thebai. Later, Itocles felt that the city would be broken sooner or later, and that it would definitely not end well at that time, so he was brave enough to ask for a one-on-one confrontation with Polynicus, one of the Seven Heroes of Argos, because both of them were the sons of the previous king Oedipus, and the purpose of the Argosians' attack on Thebais this time was to expel Itocles and put Polyniceus on the throne.
In this era, martial arts are respected, and if Polynicus refuses to fight alone, his reputation will definitely be damaged, and he will become the king of Thebai in the future, and the subjects below will not be convinced, so he quickly agreed.
However, both sides were disappointed, and both of them were killed in the process of heads-up, and the Thebes secretly sent heavy troops to hide under the city gate while the brothers were alone, and rushed out as soon as the heads-up was over, killing the Argosians, and six of the seven heroes were killed, and the only one who escaped was King Adrastos.
In fact, the real victory was the former father-in-law of Hercules and the uncle of the Itocles brothers, Creon, because all the sons of Oedipus died, and he is now a veritable king of Thebais.
It's just that he is happy and sad, this old boy does not let people collect the corpses of those Argos warriors, and makes them expose the corpses to the wilderness, and finally angers the king of Athens, that is, the excellent cheap daddy Theseus. Theseus then led a large army to take the city of Thebais, and Creon ended up in ruins.
When Hercules arrived, Theseus had just withdrawn his army, and the once prosperous city of Thebais became extremely desolate, and he was there again to organize the war preparations and tidy up the hearts of the people, and he was busy for more than a month before he became a little bit of a look, so he hurried here.
After listening to the excellence, he said that my cheap dad is a master of taking advantage of the situation, Thebai was founded earlier than Athens, and his fame is greater than that of Athens, and he has been stabilizing Athens before, he took this opportunity to beat Thebai down, not only sold the Argos a favor, but also took the opportunity to suppress Thebais, and it was difficult for Thebai to turn over from then on.
I also thought of the little man Titius I met in Calydon, this guy was also unlucky to come home, and he was ousted from the throne by his conspirator's uncle, and he was sent to the fence for more than ten years, and finally had a chance to restore the country, and he was defeated and died in a war. The heart said to go back and take care of his family, no matter how you say it, there is some friendship.
Zhuo Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Big brother, I have been at a critical time in my cultivation recently, and I won't be able to leave for a while, and I won't be in a hurry about the task, so let's do it again next year!" What are your plans for this time, or just stay with me for a while?"
Hercules' brows twisted into a Sichuan character, he thought about it and shook his head: "I'll go to my brother Iphicles to have a look, I don't know how he is now, I'll come back to you." ”
Seeing that he had made up his mind, he didn't persuade him again, Hercules played for two days and then went down the mountain to Greece, and Zhuo Yan explained to Zhuoma and Zhuo Yan, and began to retreat in the inner room.
