Chapter 39: The Theory of the Elixir
As soon as Pharmacist Li's feet landed, he looked at the giant bird that smashed into the mountain peak on the side, and suddenly his eyes glared: "Xing'er, go and kill it." ”
Gu Xing was stunned for a moment, looked at the huge body, and the corners of his mouth were a little bitter: "Master, can I kill it?"
Pharmacist Li said indifferently, "You stick the sword behind it into it, and then sprinkle this packet of medicinal powder into the wound." As he spoke, his arm stretched out a little tremblingly, and he handed Gu Xing a cloth bag in his hand.
Gu Xing hesitated slightly, took the packet of medicinal powder, and looked at the huge body at the mouth of the valley, gritted his teeth, ran forward, and when he got closer, he found that this strange bird was actually hairless, and its skin was the same color as the rock, and it ran straight to its back along its tail, Gu Xing saw the half of the sword on his back at a glance, which made Gu Xing a little helpless, the sword handle was gone, but the sword body.
"Broken sword?!Oh, how can this start?" Without the hilt of the sword, Gu Xing didn't know how to start, so he couldn't just hold the sword body with his hand, right? Just when Gu Xing hesitated, he felt a slight tremor under his feet, and couldn't help but be surprised, which shows that this big bird is not dead yet, Gu Xing is also in a hurry, his body jumps up, and he steps on the half of the sword with his feet, I don't know if this sword is already sharp, or the body of this giant bird can't help but stab, Gu Xing stepped down, and the exposed half of the sword pierced into the body of this giant bird.
"Woo..." a miserable scream, Gu Xing's body was thrown high, Gu Xing was shocked, his body was suspended in the air, and when he looked down, he saw that the head of the giant bird actually stood up, lifting the mountain rock buried in it Lao Gao, revealing the head, Gu Xing saw it clearly, and his heart sank, isn't this the Western dragon he saw on TV in his previous life, Gu Xing was shocked that he was afraid that this so-called dragon would also spit fire, if that was the case, he couldn't avoid it in the air.
To Gu Xing's reassurance, this guy probably struggled for the last time, and then fell into the dust, and Gu Xing also fell on its huge body, and at this moment, there was a hurried voice from Pharmacist Li's ears: "Get the medicine quickly." ”
Gu Xing woke up instantly, and ran to the position where the broken sword on the back of the bird had not entered the body again, looking at the blood slowly coming out, Gu Xing didn't think about it, and poured all the packets of medicine into the wound, and when he saw the blood on the medicine surface, a trace of white smoke came out, Gu Xing was startled, and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose and retreated, seeing that the white smoke was getting bigger and bigger, he didn't dare to stay, and returned directly to Pharmacist Li: "Master, it's done." ”
"Okay, let's step back. Pharmacist Li said as he walked back.
Gu Xing helped him, and when he glanced back by the way, he saw a figure flickering outside the valley, it seemed that someone was coming, but he didn't have time to care about them.
Just left not far away, he heard a terrible cry behind him again, it was the voice of the giant bird, and at the same time, Gu Xing also noticed that the ground was shaking slightly, and when he looked back, he saw that the giant bird actually stood up and pounced forward.
A loud "boom" sound came, and I heard Pharmacist Li let out a sigh: "Finally dead." At the same time, he stopped and looked back.
Gu Xing saw that the giant bird's head hit the side of the mountain, as if he couldn't bear the drug attack, it was considered suicide, a head had been submerged in the mountain for the second time, and was buried again by the falling earth and rock.
After a few breaths of breath, Pharmacist Li took out a jade bottle, swallowed a pill, sat down on the ground, and began to run the exercises.
Gu Xing was slightly relieved, but then he was a little dissatisfied, because a few people walked in, and when they got closer, Gu Xing saw clearly that these people were wearing the clothes of the elders, and the cuffs were gray, which was also the unique clothing of the elders, Gu Xing was slightly relieved, but he didn't immediately catch up, and those people saw that Pharmacist Li was stumbling there, and they stopped and waited in the distance.
After a short time, Pharmacist Li opened his eyes and said to the others: "Find someone to take the skin and flesh of this animal, and give me the head and Neidan." After that, he got up and walked towards the stone house, and at the same time said to Gu Xing: "Xing'er is coming." ”
Gu Xing glanced at those people, hurriedly followed Pharmacist Li and left, and entered Pharmacist Li's residence, before Gu Xing could ask anything, Pharmacist Li took out a small cloth bag from his body and handed it forward: "Xing'er, immediately go and refine these medicinal materials into Dan, the medicinal materials in this storage bag are only used once, and they can't fail." ”
Gu Xing subconsciously took the small cloth bag, and was just about to open it to take a look, when he heard Pharmacist Li continue: "Don't look at it, hurry up, it must be successfully refined within three hours." Gu Xing hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly went to the alchemy room.
Fortunately, Gu Xing has studied many times in front of him, but he is also proficient, put in the carbon crystal, start a fire, and then put the medicinal materials in the storage bag on the table on the side, there is a prescription inside, the three words on it are very eye-catching "Gathering Spirit Pill", Gu Xing looked at it carefully a few times, there are not many medicinal materials, there are thirty-eight kinds of them, however, each one is very precious, Gu Xing was a little nervous in his heart: "Just one chance, this is a very precious medicinal material, is it Pharmacist Li who wants to test me, or do I have to refine successfully?"
When Gu Xing was confused, he heard a bang in front of him, and he woke up instantly, and it turned out that a carbon crystal was not controlled by humans, and suddenly exploded.
Gu Xing didn't dare to be careless, hurriedly controlled the flames, shrouded the Ding furnace, and then began to throw in the herbs one by one, Gu Xing's spirit was highly concentrated, and he didn't dare to be a little negligent, after the thirty-eight kinds of medicinal herbs were thrown into the furnace, the lid of the furnace was covered, Gu Xing sat cross-legged in front of the furnace, and his spiritual power invaded the inside of the furnace body, controlling the temperature and starting to alchemy.
This time the refining is different from Gu Xing's before, and he can still pay attention to the situation in the outside world before, this time Pharmacist Li is too demanding, and there is only one use of materials, Gu Xing has a sense of crisis in his heart, once he fails, Pharmacist Li will definitely burst out and kill people, and he doesn't have any ability to protect himself now, so all his soul power is radiated, just for the success of alchemy.
The number of carbon crystals used this time is several times more than that of refining Zhuyan Dandu, because these medicinal materials are very tough, once the flame is lower, it will not be able to dissolve these herbs at all, Gu Xing kept throwing a large number of carbon crystals into the furnace, while controlling the flame of the carbon crystals to burn violently, burning the bottom of the furnace red.
An hour passed, only a few kinds of medicinal materials dissolved, Gu Xing was a little anxious, but also more cautious, and gradually entered a wonderful situation, it seems that his soul has left the body, and heaven and earth are one, after an hour and a half has passed, there are still three flavors of medicinal materials have not dissolved, but there is also a tendency to dissolve, the ancient astrolabe sat motionless, the temperature of the flame under the furnace did not drop, the medicinal materials in the furnace began to fuse, almost three hours, the Ding furnace suddenly shook, Gu Xing's soul instantly returned to the body, and then carefully inducted, I couldn't help but be overjoyed: "It was actually successful." ”
At this moment, the lid of the furnace was suddenly opened, Gu Xing was startled, and was about to make a move, but he heard the voice of Pharmacist Li behind him: "Xing'er, it's me." ”
Immediately afterwards, a streamer flew out, Gu Xing's eyes flashed, and he only saw a white light flying away and falling into the hands of Pharmacist Li, but he didn't see the appearance of the Gathering Spirit Pill clearly, and couldn't help but despise this Pharmacist Li slightly, but at this time, he suddenly remembered something, and suddenly secretly frightened: "I have been paying attention to the Dan furnace just now, but I didn't realize when Pharmacist Li came? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder, peeking at Pharmacist Li, but seeing that he was looking at the pill in his hand and didn't pay attention to his abnormality, he was slightly relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed down and stood aside without moving.
Pharmacist Li looked at it for a long time, and suddenly laughed, then put away the Gathering Spirit Pill, and said to Gu Xing: "Come with me." ”
Gu Xing turned around and extinguished the flames under the furnace, turned around and followed Pharmacist Li out, and when he arrived at a bamboo house next to him, Pharmacist Li pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down." The voice was very gentle, Gu Xing was slightly surprised, but he didn't say anything, he sat down on the side, knowing that he must have something to say to himself.
Pharmacist Li's face was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Gu Xing to sit down without the slightest push, but he showed a smile: "Xing'er, do you know why Master Wei went out this time?"
Gu Xing shook his head: "The disciple doesn't know. But he thought to himself, "This old man is too weird, what are you doing out out, how can I know? Isn't this clearly embarrassing me?"
But I heard Pharmacist Li continue: "The teacher went out this time, just to find the main medicine in the elixir formula. ”
Gu Xing was stunned for a moment: "Immortal elixir?!Can you become an immortal after eating?"
Pharmacist Li nodded, looking at Gu Xing with burning eyes, Gu Xing was looked at by him like this, and his heart suddenly jumped: "Could it be that this elixir is going to be refined by human sacrifice? This guy plans to use me to refine the elixir?" Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but be shocked, but he didn't dare to show anything on the surface.
"Master, then you got the main medicine?" Gu Xing asked pretending to be happy.
Pharmacist Li smiled: "Yes, the main medicine is the inner pill of the pterosaur, it is said that this pterosaur has a trace of the blood of the dragon clan." ”
Gu Xing didn't know what he was going to say to himself, so he didn't dare to interject, and when he continued, he listened to Pharmacist Li continue to laugh and say, "Xing'er, if you want to refine it into an elixir, you not only need that main medicine, but also a person with a strong soul to support that huge medicinal property. ”
Gu Xing seemed to understand, and asked, "Is that asking the disciple to control that Inner Pill alone?"
Pharmacist Li nodded: "That's right, it's already very difficult for the teacher to control other medicinal materials, and then to control that inner pill will be too strong, so you need to support it independently, this spirit pill is to test whether your soul power meets the requirements, since you can refine it successfully at one time, it means that you can completely control that inner pill." ”
Hearing what Pharmacist Li said, Gu Xing was slightly relieved, if this was the case, it would not be impossible to complete the so-called 'elixir', just help him once, in fact, Gu Xing was also a little curious about this 'elixir' in his heart, but in front of Pharmacist Li, a great martial artist, he didn't dare to show anything, just nodded and agreed.
Seeing Gu Xing so happy, Pharmacist Li laughed, then took out a jade bottle from his arms and handed it to Gu Xing: "Xing'er, this is a Heaven-level Soul Gathering Pill, which can enhance the power of the soul, and it can also increase a little confidence in your control of the Wing Dragon Inner Pill." ”
Gu Xing took the jade bottle, bent down and thanked Pharmacist Li, and Pharmacist Li waved his hand: "Okay, let's go rest for a few days first, prepare for the master, we master and apprentice must refine the elixir this time." ”
After Gu Xing expressed his determination, he said goodbye and withdrew from the bamboo house, and after returning to the stone house, Gu Xing felt restless, and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of it for a while, and suddenly his heart moved, thinking of the two demon foxes, in comparison, the demon foxes were much more powerful than Pharmacist Li, and he might be able to find out something.
Thinking of this, Gu Xing hurriedly closed the door, sat cross-legged, and began to call out to the two demon foxes in his heart, and the two demon foxes who were far away in the depths of the mountain, suddenly a light flashed in the center of their eyebrows, and the two women stopped at the same time and glanced at each other: "The master is looking for us." ”
"What should I do, do you want to go back?" asked one of the younger sisters, Hu Wen.
Sister Hu Wei thought for a while: "Forget it, let's go back first and see what he wants, and the matter of catching the dragon will be put on hold for a while." ”
The younger sister Hu Wen nodded, and the two girls said something in their mouths, and their bodies suddenly flashed and disappeared.
