Chapter 6 The Oven Burns and Smokes
In addition to the cultivation of Huanglonggong and the idea of natural view in the past few days, Zhou Kai's martial arts have been released first, and he has concentrated on accompanying Zhou Jiaxin. After visiting all corners of the town, some distinctive restaurants and shops lingered more, and the mountain behind Zhou's house was also carefully walked again.
The younger brother is so well-behaved and sensible, Zhou Jiaxin also looks at it again. The younger brother is no longer a decadent and ignorant gentleman, but a little man with pursuits. "Xiao Kai, this world is very big, I have to find a chance to go out for a walk. Hongshan Town, Haojiang County is still too small, and the outside world is very exciting. Although I have never been out of Wu'anguo, I often hear from my classmates. ”
"Wait for me for a while, my cultivation will be higher, and I will go out again when I have a certain ability, and now I don't even dare to go to the outermost part of the Demon Beast Forest." Zhou Kai was a little helpless. The world is so big, who doesn't want to go out and see. In the previous life, you had a strategy, prepared some money, and you could run all over the world. It's not good here, I don't have any strength, it's too easy to be shot to death.
"Well, you do cultivate a little too low, you have to improve faster. Only the big sects have all kinds of conditions that can better satisfy cultivation. The three largest sects in Wu'an have the standard for accepting disciples, at least in the late stage of body refining. ”
"No matter how bad the foundation is, I will definitely do my best! I also hope to go to the Jade Girl Sect to find my sister when I grow up, and let my sister help introduce a few beautiful sisters to each other. ”
A chestnut burst into the chisel, and another burst of giggles.
When I went to spring and fell in the twilight of spring, I was wet with tears and red letters. There will be a day of separation in reunion, and no matter how sad you are, you have to take care of the road in front of you.
After Zhou Jiaxin left, Zhou Kai rearranged his cultivation. Needless to say, when I walked around the back mountain, I found a good place that is suitable for the current martial arts cultivation. A small waterfall in the mountains, the waterfall flows into a stream, there is about an acre of open flat land by the stream, and there are several ancient trees. At present, Huang Kitten's demon pill is enough to last for half a year, and the elixir spirit stones he needs for his cultivation are increasing day by day as the realm improves. The so-called wealth and wealth required for cultivation, at present, although the issue of wealth is not considered to be a burning eyebrow, it is also necessary to start preparations. Therefore, alchemy learning should be achieved as much as possible, and it is necessary to have a skill.
Needless to say, he practiced Huanglonggong and the idea of natural outlook every day, and arranged three hours to practice martial arts by the waterfall in the back mountain during the day. Broken Mountain Boxing, Fast Wind Sword, Tiger Leap, at present, they are all integrated, if you want to further achieve supernatural transformation, you have to work slowly and carefully. Moreover, there is also a combination of body and fist and swordsmanship, which is also needed in actual combat, and it must also be learned and then fused. And the opportunity to learn alchemy is not yet available.
Go to Xu Bo every other day to sway, watch his words and observe his deeds. It's a pity that every time he started alchemy, Uncle Xu didn't let the little boy and Zhou Kai watch, and there was no way to steal the teacher. It's very melancholy.
On this day, the little boy was also idle, and was invited into the house by Zhou Kai, prepared some spirit wine, spirit meat and spirit fruit, drank two glasses together, and had a good chat.
"Brother Zhang, you've been with Mr. Xu for two years, did Mr. Xu teach you some alchemy tips?"
"Xiao Ke was born poor and lonely. It is a great fortune to have Xu Lao to take him in, and to have a place to eat. First, I didn't dare to expect too much, and secondly, these were also Xu Lao's ability to eat, so he kept it tight. ”
"That's right, come and drink."
The little boy was taken care of by the young master, and he was happy. And Zhou Kai was even more deliberately flattering, knocking on the side. After three rounds of drinking, I learned some about Xu Lao's situation. He is in his fifties, with a fourth-layer Tianji, but his cultivation talent is not good, and if he wants to reach the Tianyuan Realm, there is no time for him to reach the Tianyuan Realm. pursues alchemy, but due to various conditions, it is currently only classified as a second-order upper grade. A little greedy for money, but also loves the things in the cup. It is said that once I drank a few more cups, and I was excited to open the furnace, and I actually refined a few second-order best pills, which was a happy event in my life. Since then, I have fallen in love with good wine.
The little boy went by himself, and Zhou Kai began to prepare. Looking for my father, I begged for some good spiritual wine, and put it in a gourd, just in case of emergency. Take out the second-order late-stage demon beast meat obtained in the Demon Beast Mountain Range last time, choose some delicious ones, barbecue, fry, cook them, divide them into tableware, and put them in a storage bag. Usually, when I go to the back mountains to cultivate, I get some newly ripe wild fruits in the mountains and earn them together.
If you go to Mr. Xu's place again, you will have the opportunity to do what he likes. On this day, Zhou Kai sent the elixir with Zhang Xiaotongzi, and saw Xu Lao coming out of the Danfang with a happy face.
Zhou Kaidao: "Uncle Xu, it seems that there is a happy event today?" ”
Xu Lao couldn't stop smiling: "Today, I have refined two furnaces of Dan, both of which are of the highest quality, and the old man seems to be not far from upgrading." ”
Zhou Kai hit the snake with the stick: "Congratulations to Uncle Xu, congratulations to Uncle Xu, he is about to be upgraded to a second-order best alchemist." Xu Bo's luck, the Zhou family's luck, Hongshan Town's first third-order alchemist will also be just around the corner. ”
This one is forced to improve, novel and praised, straight to the heart, and listens to Uncle Xu with a red face and high spirits.
Zhou Kai took out the wine gourd, uncovered the lid, and smelled a strange fragrance. "My dad appreciates some spirit wine, and the drunken incense building specially makes drunken incense drops, and tastes them with Uncle Xu."
Uncle Xu smelled that the wine worm had gone up, "Xiao Zhang, you go to Zuixianglou to book a table to eat, and steal half a day to drink a few glasses." ”
Zhou Kai saw that the opportunity had come, and hurriedly took out the carefully cooked food in the storage bag, "Uncle Xu, you must be happy in time, and you will have an hour to go back and forth in Zuixianglou." You can try some of the snacks that the kid usually tinkers with, and the teeth grinding pads should also be available. ”
The fruits and meat are all put on plates, the red one is the fried spotted tiger, the flesh and bones are connected, bright red and dripping, the hot sauce is wrapped in thick juice, and the tiger roar is hidden inside; The black is the spring boiled mountain spirit pig, soft and soft, black as ink, the soup is profound, and the middle is ripe and rotten; The yellow one is the barbecue Qingfeng rabbit, the bamboo string spirit block, the golden yellow is burnt, the oil locks the tenderness, and the internal and external contradictions are strange; There are dozens of spirit fruits, which are verdant and green.
White wine, red tiger, black pig, yellow rabbit, green fruit, and the dark fragrance of spiritual grass that has already tasted, it is already a big move of the index finger. After chewing and swallowing slowly, the wind swept away, pushed the cup and changed the lamp and then staggered, eating a lot, drinking and sweating. During this period, Zhou Kai praised and praised, saying that Xu Bo is the humerus of the Zhou family, the future of Hongshan Town, Dangai Haojiang County, and Yaotong West Deserted City.
Xu Bohe was so proud, on a whim, he invited Zhou Kai and Zhang Xiaotong to enter the Dan room together, open another furnace, and refine the second-order wounding elixir on the spot. Excitedly explained while demonstrating:
"If you want to make alchemy, you must first have fire. The fire of spiritual wood charcoal is easy to take, but the temperature is not high enough, and the first order can barely become a pill; The demon fire and beast fire are included in the body, and they are generally not considered to be high-grade in the Danhuo; Like here, there is a small piece of earth fire introduced with the formation, but it can be directly used, which can save some heavenly power; Following the fire of alchemy cultivation, a special method is stored in the sea of qi, such as the envoy of the arm, which is what the alchemist wants. However, the secret of the Dan technique is hard to find, and the strength of the Dan Fire also needs to be carefully cultivated every day to grow. ”
"Secondly, alchemy requires high divine sense. One is intensity, and the other is control. Anyone who touches the wall of the furnace can sense the fire in the furnace and control the temperature. ”
"The third is the familiarity of the spirit grass. The first is to select the appropriate spirit grass and spirit fruit, variety, year and quantity; The second is to deeply understand the nature of each medicinal material in the three steps of extraction and refining, fusion of medicinal powder, liquid medicinal crystal, and condensation into Dan. ”
A few explanations, a few drills. One furnace of Dancheng is actually three top-grade. Uncle Xu was happy. Zhou Kai also took advantage of his interest to ask some basic questions. For example, the temperature control of various spiritual herbs in the first-order Peiyuan Pill during extraction and refining, and the control of divine consciousness in the three steps of extraction, refining, fusion, and condensing pills.
After asking some basic questions, Zhou Kai was eager to try, and proposed to use Xu Bo's Dan furnace to try to extract and refine the spirit grass, and Xu Bo agreed on a whim.
There is a way that the furnace is blazing with blue smoke, and the Zhou family is trying to test the sky.
Take out the first-order Pei Yuan Grass obtained from the Demon Beast Mountain Range last time, which is mainly used for the refining of Pei Yuan Dan. Throw in the spirit grass, then wrap it with divine sense, and start to control the temperature. With a snap, the ashes were extinguished, the fire was not controlled, and it was burned out by too high temperature. Throw another one and continue, try to lower the temperature as much as possible, burn for a long time but there is no reaction, and the fire power cannot reach the strength of extraction. Adjusted up, lowered, tried more than ten times, and consumed all the Peiyuan grass at hand, and finally got a small bottle of not too white powder, which also obviously had some black impurities.
The ideals are abundant, but the reality is too cruel. The first extraction and refining ended in a basic failure. Of course, Zhou Kai has some basic understanding of alchemy, which can be regarded as being introduced into the door, which Zhou Kai is still very happy about, at least the vague direction has become each specific point.
It's easy to do with the beginning. Zhou Kai went to the Spirit Pill Pavilion to buy a first-order top-grade Dan furnace with five hundred spirit stones, and spent another thousand five hundred spirit stones to buy a first-order Peiyuan Dan, a Qi Returning Pill, and a Dan Fang for Wounding the Spirit Pill, and also bought a first-order spirit grass recorded on the Dan Fang with a thousand spirit stones, as well as a number of spirit charcoal that can be used to refine the first-order pill. More than half of all the property has been gone, and there are only more than 2,000 spirit stones left.
In the following days, in addition to practicing martial arts, all of them were used to practice extraction and refinement. Some are charred and mushy, and some are raised to be full of impurities. Failed again and again, tried again and again, and finally slowly memorized the temperature control points of the various spirit grasses at hand. Although the results are still not ideal, at least every time it is better than the last time, which also makes Zhou Kai's confidence begin to accumulate.
Everything is most afraid of the word serious, let alone the seriousness of a smart person. After more than ten days of Xu Bo's introductory explanation, Zhou Kai took a look at the various small medicine bottles in front of him, the liquid crystal of the medicine was crystal clear, the medicine powder was as white as jade, the medicine crystal was black and bright as ink, and the spiritual herbs corresponding to the three basic pills were perfectly refined. The bitterness is sweet, and it can be regarded as a brave small step on the road of alchemy. Because of the use of spiritual charcoal to start a fire, a part of the heavenly power had to be input to support the flame burning every time, and the three layers of Zhou Kai's refining body were still very lacking. Therefore, it is best to go to Xu Bo's side to try this link of integration.
Zhou Kai took the elixir he had refined and came to the Alchemy Pavilion where Xu Bo was. Of course, there are also good wines, good dishes, and good fruits. Xu Bo looked at Zhou Kai's refining results, they were indeed excellent, almost catching up with his own refining level, and they were only achieved in ten days, Xu Bo nodded secretly.
There is another spare Dan room in the Alchemy Pavilion, in which the formation is also connected to the ground fire. Zhou Kai proposed to try fusion by himself, and Uncle Xu agreed. Help Zhou Kai put his Dan furnace at the mouth of the ground fire, and the formation was connected, and he used it.
