Chapter 264: The Alchemist
"Alchemist of the Flame Palace?"
It was the first time Mu Qing had heard these two names.
Yukun nodded fiercely and said, "Brother, you may not have noticed, there are dense black particles on the walls of those small holes in this stone ball, just like the size of millet grains in some places. ”
"Is there one?" Mu Qing heard this, and immediately probed his divine sense into the stone ball.
Under Yukun's guidance, it was found that there were small black particles on the hole walls in some places at the core of the stone ball, but these small particles were the same color as the stone ball, almost one body, so Mu Qing didn't notice it before.
"What is this?" Mu Qing wondered as she looked at it.
Yukun said unhurriedly: "How much do you know about demon insects and spirit insects?"
Mu Qing shook his head and said, "That's what you told me." What I have seen are those yellow sand ants in the Illusory Spirit Fantasy Realm, those poisonous insects in the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, and those spiders and fire ants under the ground!"
Yu Kun laughed miserably twice and said, "This fire ant you saw is not an ordinary fire ant! Brother, I also saw this strange stone ball, as well as those black ant eggs attached to the hole wall, and then I remembered!"
"Ant eggs? These little particles are ant eggs?"
"Yes, these are ant eggs, but the environment is not suitable, they are not hatching!"
"What about the Alchemist and the Palace of Flames?"
Yukun sorted out his thoughts for a moment and said, "The official name of this fire ant should be called the Red Refining Black Ant, and the nest where the queen ant is located is called the Flame Palace. This flame palace is different from ordinary ant nests, it is the worker ants who eat the underground lava, refine and condense it in the body, and then spit it out, and pile it up little by little, this flame palace is so big, I am afraid that it will be piled up for tens of thousands of years, and the queen ant inside is estimated to have changed for several generations......"
Mu Qing listened curiously, nodded slightly, and said: "So, this Flame Palace is a good material for refining fire attribute magic weapons, why didn't you mention it in the book you gave me?"
Yu Kun's small eyes rolled and said, "What? You want to use this to refine the weapon?" Brother, don't be funny, this Flame Palace is the alchemist's nest, without it, those alchemists won't be able to hatch, and there will be no place to live!"
Mu Qing roughly guessed that the alchemist was naturally referring to this kind of red refining black ant, and said: "Big brother, is this alchemist a very powerful demon worm? What is the use? When I was underground, I killed millions of them with water-based exercises, but I didn't think they were anything special!"
Yu Kun was accustomed to Mu Qing's cute ignorance, shook his head and said, "Brother, you have learned alchemy, you should know that when a monk in the Spirit Crystal Stage refines the magic weapon, there needs to be a step, which is called refining, also known as alchemy. ”
Mu Qing nodded.
Yukun said again: "Do you think that those fire ants you killed are alchemists?"
Mu Qing asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?"
Yukun smiled and said, "As I said just now, the worker ants in this red refining black ant can devour lava and condense and quench in the body, but ......"
He raised his voice and continued: "However, ordinary red refining black ants are not alchemists, only those red refining black ants hatched from those small black eggs you saw just now are called alchemists!"
At this time, Mu Qing was confused again, and said, "Could it be ...... It's all born to a mother, and the breed is not the same?"
Yukun smiled: "It's different, of course it's different, it's much worse! The eggs laid by the queen ant are generally pale golden, the size of peas, and thousands are laid each time, and the hatched fire ants are the ones you have seen, the size of a thumb, right?" There is only a very small probability, and I don't know why, this queen ant will lay small black eggs, and the red refining black ants hatched from this black egg are much smaller than the red refining black ants hatched from golden eggs, but the quality is many times higher, so it has a nice nickname, called alchemist!"
"Then what does this high-quality black ant have to do with alchemy?"
Mu Qing was still a little puzzled by the connection between the two.
Yukun smiled and said, "This is the key! That is, the rarity of this thing! This alchemist can devour almost all the refining materials, those who have aura and no aura, they eat them all, and then use a trace of Xuanhuo refining in the body, absorb everything that can be absorbed, and finally the little thing that cannot be absorbed will be spit out, and what they spit out...... Hey hey ......"
Saying that, Yukun looked at Mu Qing with envy on his face, and continued: "That is where the essence is, which is equivalent to the alchemy in alchemy!"
Mu Qing's pupils gradually dilated.
Just a few days ago, when he was in retreat with Murong Xue for refining weapons, he was still teasing Murong Xue for the alchemy in the inheritance of the Instrument Sect. However, now that he has obtained this large nest of alchemists, a cursory look, those dense little eggs are hundreds of thousands!
"That means that with these alchemists, I don't need to practice the art of alchemy to be able to alchemy?" Mu Qing blurted out excitedly.
Yukun sighed and said, "Brother, it's far away, it's far away." ”
"What's so far off?"
"The alchemy of the monk is far worse than the alchemy of the alchemist, the difference is 108,000 miles!"
"Ah!" Mu Qing shouted in surprise, and said hurriedly: "What about the inheritance of the sect master of the instrument sect?"
Yu Kun shook his head and said, "I don't know what kind of power the alchemy inherited by the Instrument Sect is, it should also be a very mysterious and superb exercise, but I can be sure that it is not as good as an alchemist!
Mu Qing only felt that her ears were buzzing, and a pair of eyes were staring at the "Flame Palace", for fear that it would disappear from front of her eyes!
Yukun said again: "As these alchemists continue to devour, their refining power will continue to improve, as for how high they can rise, I don't know, maybe no one in this world knows, but in the ancient spirit worm fragment left by my ancestors, there are several ores, even the monks of the Spirit God Stage can't completely succeed in alchemy, only this alchemist can, including the Taiyi Essence Gold Mine!"
"Taiyi Essence Gold!"
Mu Qing exclaimed.
For this kind of metallic material, he can be said to be like thunder, in that book, Taiyi Pure Gold is the ultimate metallic material in this world, and its ore veins are extremely difficult to find, because this kind of ore is fused with ordinary ore, so you don't know which ores contain Taiyi Pure Gold.
At the same time, it is also said that because the ore is extremely difficult to refine, even if someone finds some ore, after refining, it is just a gray-white gold and iron thing, let's call it Taiyi Pure Gold, but the real Taiyi Pure Gold should be silver-white!
It stands to reason that fire overcomes gold, but Taiyi Pure Gold is already the ultimate of the gold system, and if it is melted with fire, it can only change its shape, but it cannot be destroyed!
Mu Qing had heard Mi Fu say that a small piece of Taiyi Essence Gold was mixed with the Taiyi Xuanjian, the magic weapon of the Zhenzong of the Iron Sword Gate, which was the size of a peanut bean, which made this sword the nemesis of many magic weapons.
Now, hearing Yukun say this, a thought surged into Mu Qing's heart: If you use this alchemist to refine Taiyi Essence Gold Ore, will you be able to get the true, silvery-white Taiyi Essence Gold in the legend?
Yu Kun's words came into his ears again, and he said: "This alchemist also has a domineering subtlety, that is, his own strength will increase as he swallows harder materials, if you raise them as strong as King Kong, it will be a magic weapon that is difficult to hurt!
"But ......" Yukun paused, and said: "There is only one shortcoming, that is, this thing is afraid of water, and the water system exercises are their nemesis!"
Speaking of this, Mu Qing has a deep understanding. Xindao: If you really use this alchemist to fight the enemy in the future, you must guard against the opponent's water, and the magic weapon of the water system will not work!
Suddenly, another question came to mind, and Mu Qing hurriedly asked, "Big brother, how do you hatch these ant eggs, and how will you control them in the future?"
At this time, Yukun also frowned, thought about it, and said, "Hatching...... I guess fire. As for the controls...... As far as I know, it's not the same as manipulating spirit beasts, and I can't sign a soul contract, and I can't say it. However, it must be similar to the way the queen ants control the worker ants. ”
After a pause, he looked at Mu Qing and said: "Brother, you smear the ant eggs with essence blood, and then often wrap these ant eggs with your divine sense, so that these little things are familiar with your divine sense fluctuations since childhood, and when you have the opportunity to go to the Ziyang Country in the future, there is a sect called Baizu Gate, and they are good at insect repellent techniques......"
Mu Qing nodded slightly, and without hesitation, she bit the tip of her tongue, forced out a few drops of essence blood, and wrapped it in spiritual power and sent it to the hole.
It took seventy or eighty drops of essence blood, and Mu Qing felt that she was about to die of blood loss, so she smeared all those black ant eggs.
This time, I counted carefully, and there were more than 600,000 of these ant eggs!
But because these eggs are so small, even if they are piled together, it is estimated that a basin of water can fit them.
