Chapter 17: The Alchemist and the Firmament
"Dragon Change?!" Tianyou said in surprise.
"That's right, it's "Dragon Change"!" Chu Xinghe reached out and stroked the golden dragon ball on his shoulder, and as soon as his mind moved, the dragon ball moved again, circling and flying around Chu Xinghe's body, and finally turned around Chu Xinghe's chest and bumped into it, but it turned into a golden light and drilled into Chu Xinghe's body.
Manipulating Xuan Power like this, let alone a Formation Dao Grandmaster who is proficient in Xuan Array, even if it is a Xuan Di Master or even a Xuan Tian Master, if he does not cultivate a unique Xuan Gong, it is impossible to do it. This alone is enough to explain the uniqueness of Chu Xinghe's self-created Xuan Gong.
"Ancient Dragon Emperor, you can rest in peace!" Chu Xinghe said silently in his heart.
"Oh no, no!"
Suddenly, a childish voice sounded eagerly, and Chu Xinghe looked down, but it was a ginseng essence with a red leaf on its head that escaped from the ground, it was the red leaf ginseng essence that had just saved him.
"Xiaohong, what's wrong?" asked the green leaf ginseng essence.
The red leaf ginseng said angrily, "Full moon, today is a full moon...... Sister, sister's blood curse has attacked!"
"Full Moon, Sister, Blood Curse?" Chu Xinghe frowned and asked, "Xiaohong, is there anyone else in this Heavenly Tomb?"
"My sister fell from it two days ago, she was seriously injured, and she was also hit by a very terrible blood curse, called 'Tianshui Xuanying Blood Curse', the blood of the person in this blood curse is cold, and the cultivation is lost, and as soon as the full moon blood curse comes, the spell will change, making people lose their consciousness and become a murderous ghost without blinking!" This was all told to me by my sister, and she asked me to stay as far away from her as possible when I was full moon, but just now I ran back to the stone room where my sister was retreating, and I saw my sister rushing out of the stone door like crazy......"
"It fell two days ago?" Chu Xinghe secretly wondered in his heart: "Could it be that the thunder attribute Xuan Monk who was suspected of being a Xuantian Master who was attacked from behind by Chu Xingfeng and Ouyang Xun and knocked down the cliff from behind?
"Then we won't run yet!" said the green leaf ginseng spirit urgently.
"Wait a minute. Chu Xinghe shouted out to the two ginseng essences, and then asked the red leaf ginseng essence: "Didn't you say that sister was seriously injured?
"My sister said that her injury was not a wound of flesh and bones, but a wound of the soul and blood, which could not be treated by the Washing Pulp Spring. Although the Red Leaf Ginseng Essence was in a hurry to leave, she still answered Chu Xinghe's question: "However, my sister said that her 'Tianshui Xuanshen Blood Mantra' did not have a spell when the blood was cold, and she needed to use the bone refining red lotus in this marrow washing pool to warm and suppress it, otherwise the 'Tianshui' would invade the body and be in pain!"
"'Tianshui' invades the body?" Chu Xinghe said curiously: "Do you need to refine the bone red lotus to suppress it?" He remembered clearly, at this moment, the bone refining red lotus fire had been received into his body, which meant that the spring water in the marrow washing pool had lost the miraculous effect of refining bones and strengthening the marrow.
"That's what my sister said. The Red Leaf Ginseng Essence nodded, and then urged eagerly: "Brother, let's get out of here quickly, my sister will soon break the stone gate leading here......!"
Chu Xinghe listened intently, and the sound of a blast breaking through the stone gate came from a distance through several heavy stone gates, and it seemed that it was not far from here.
"Then where are we going?" Tianyou was ready to run away, but he didn't know where to run.
"You come with me, go to Lord Baili's bedroom and hide for a night, and my sister said that as soon as the blood spell subsides at dawn, she will return to her original state. As he spoke, the Momiji Ginseng Spirit took the lead and walked towards a stone door.
Chu Xinghe only had time to take a closer look around, it turned out that this was a spacious space similar to a hall, in the center was a pool of clear marrow washing spring, around this pool of spring water there were a total of ten stone gates, the stone gate in the center was quite different from the other nine stone gates, carved with the shape of a square tripod, and there seemed to be a flame burning below the square tripod. Chu Xinghe recognized this symbol, it was a unique symbol of the alchemist of the head of the three great grandmasters of the Xuanhuang Continent.
The alchemist is a rare creature in the Xuanhuang Continent, in addition to having a simple fire attribute physique, he also needs rich pharmacological knowledge, skilled fire control techniques, and of course, in addition to this, there must be a medicine refining tripod, also known as an alchemy furnace. With such harsh conditions, the number of alchemists is extremely rare, compared to refiners and array masters, it is simply the existence of nine hairs and one cow, but because of this, it also makes the status of alchemists extremely respectful.
Unexpectedly, the owner of this celestial tomb turned out to be an alchemist of the Heavenly Realm!
Chu Xinghe sighed in his heart: If you can get the true inheritance of a Heavenly Realm alchemist and become an alchemist, then you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort in cultivating in the future!
Chu Xinghe now has an inexplicable red lotus fire in his body, and the speed of refining the pill has reached an unbelievable level, if he can refine the pill by himself, and then continue to devour the refining pill, then the cultivation speed will definitely increase exponentially. You must know that the pill is a scarce resource in the Xuanhuang Continent, if you rely on others to refine it, it is estimated that you will not be able to buy a few pills in your lifetime, it is best to refine it yourself, first, you can increase your cultivation speed, and secondly, you can also rely on the noble status of the alchemist, and you will not be oppressed by others from now on.
It seems that there are countless benefits to becoming an alchemist.
At that moment, Chu Xinghe didn't say more, and came to the unique stone gate under the leadership of the ginseng spirit. Chu Xinghe pushed the stone door hard, but it didn't move, and the stone door was as heavy as a mountain.
"This is Lord Baili's bedroom, this door has been cast with a gravity array, unless the celestials of the Tianxing Realm come, no one will want to open this door!" said the Red Leaf Ginseng Spirit proudly.
"Then you must have a way to take us in!" With Chu Xinghe's cleverness, how could he not have imagined that this Red Leaf Ginseng Essence said that he would take them in for refuge, and it was absolutely impossible that he had not thought about how to take them in.
"Of course there is a way, but I have to grieve you, brother. The red leaf ginseng essence said: "I once heard Lord Baili say that our thousand-year-old ginseng can escape from the ground, and we can also take humans with us, but the premise is that we must absorb the essence and blood of that person before we can take that person with us!"
"Is there really such a thing!?" Chu Xinghe said in surprise.
"Well, if Lord Baili says yes, he will definitely be able to. Momiji Ginseng Jing said confidently.
"Just try it and you'll know!" Chu Xinghe was about to bite his finger as he spoke, but he heard the green leaf ginseng essence call out to him eagerly: "Brother, don't you remember that I have absorbed your essence and blood, I should be able to take you with me now!"
Being reminded by it, Chu Xinghe remembered that when he was caught by the tomb guarding ape demon, he spit out a mouthful of blood on the ginseng essence and was absorbed by it, so he said excitedly: "Yes, Xiao Lu, then try to see if you can take me to escape with you!"
"Okay. The green leaf ginseng essence came over and grabbed Chu Xinghe's hand, but Tianyou muttered on the side: "Then what should I do?" I'm a fleshless skull, where can I get sperm blood for you to absorb?"
"I'm sorry, a ginseng essence can only absorb one person's essence blood, I have already absorbed my sister's blood, and Xiao Lu has absorbed my brother's blood!" Momiji Ginseng Essence said apologetically.
"It's okay, I'm just talking, I don't have to be so troublesome!" Tianyou said and walked to Chu Xinghe's side, and hit the gluttonous armring on Chu Xinghe's arm, and disappeared into the gluttonous armband on Chu Xinghe's arm so abruptly, and then Tianyou's triumphant voice came from the gluttonous armband: "As long as I stay in the gluttonous armband, I can follow Chu Xinghe anywhere!"
"Then let's go!" The green leaf ginseng essence grabbed Chu Xinghe's hand, and a red light appeared on his body, and the red light directly covered Chu Xinghe inside, and then the green leaf ginseng essence pulled Chu Xinghe and sank into the ground.
Chu Xinghe only felt that he felt like he was suffocating for a moment, and he was suddenly pressed by a pressure gathered from all directions, but it turned out to be underground. That layer of red light blocked all the dirt from the outside, and under the leadership of the green leaf ginseng essence, Chu Xinghe was like being in the water, and he could freely shuttle through the dirt.
"Brother, there is no air in this ground, you have to hold your breath by yourself. But it was only through a stone gate, and it passed quickly. The green leaf ginseng essence said as he moved Chu Xinghe forward a few meters, and then sent Chu Xinghe back to the ground.
As soon as he returned to the ground, Chu Xinghe was attracted by the giant tripod in front of him.
The huge tripod is three zhang high and one zhang wide, and the body is carved with all kinds of strange things, including men, women, beasts, plants, clouds, thunder and lightning...... There is anything that can be called famous, or something that is not famous, and it includes almost everything in heaven and earth.
The canopy was placed in the middle of a huge room, as if the whole world revolved around it. Chu Xinghe was fascinated, and for a moment he had an illusion, as if that giant tripod was an immortal existence that lay across heaven and earth, containing all things in heaven and earth.
It's obviously just a mouthful, but it exudes such an earth-shattering momentum. Chu Xinghe couldn't help but be amazed, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the mouthful. It didn't matter if it touched some ancient prohibition, and the mouth shook suddenly, as if the volcano that had been silent for thousands of years suddenly came to life, and then the sky collapsed and the earth erupted.
Chu Xinghe was startled, and quickly withdrew his hand and took two steps back, but it was too late, the giant tripod seemed to have been awakened from an ancient slumber, and the body of the tripod made a "rumbling" sound, and suddenly jumped out of thin air, and smashed down on the top of Chu Xinghe's head.
Chu Xinghe instinctively pushed with his hand, and when the giant tripod touched the palm of Chu Xinghe's hand, a wave of fire erupted from Chu Xinghe's palm, and the crimson flame instantly wrapped the giant tripod. Chu Xinghe was dumbfounded, and the palm of his hand spit out flames again, and the flame calcined the giant tripod, and it actually burned the giant tripod smaller and smaller, until finally it burned to the size of a handful, hovering in the air and spinning.
As soon as Chu Xinghe's heart moved, he collected the flame in his palm back into his body, and together with the small ding, he was also included in Chu Xinghe's body. When he landed, a stream of information was transmitted to Chu Xinghe's mind-
"Those who have obtained the inheritance of the red lotus fire from the center of the earth by my array Dao and the great master of alchemy Baili, this 'Sky Ding' can be regarded as a gift from me to you. You have to pass on the Firmament Ding, and from now on, you will be the only true disciple of my Array Dao and the Great Grandmaster of Alchemy Baili Xi!"
