Chapter 524: Alchemy (1st Update)
(Thanks to the red reward of "Hailanzhu", and thank you to the readers of the post bar.) )
A tall and spacious tent was set up at the edge of the camp, and three Daoists of the Pill Sect, two Daoists of the Honglu Sect and two Daoists of the Divine Engineering Sect were busy preparing to refine the pills inside, and it was not easy to do such a thing in the remote snow-capped mountains where birds and beasts were extinct.
First of all, the Taoist priests of the Shengong Department not only had to build a Dan house, but also made a series of items such as mortars, pestles, bottles, bowls, pots, etc., in order to prevent the mutual penetration of medicinal properties, most of these things could only be used once, and each Taoist system had a large amount of inventory, but it could only be made and used here.
The two of them had to take turns to maintain the flame with their own mana, constantly smelting gold, silver, all kinds of steel and demon pills, some of which were supplied to the Taoist priests of the Divine Engineering Division, and some of which were reserved for formal alchemy.
At the same time, the Taoist priest of the Pill Medicine Department was busy checking dozens of medicinal materials, classifying them, calculating the dosage, Xinghua Feiying and the dead demon seed were the main ingredients, and other auxiliary materials were also very important, they could make the antidote more relaxed, and adapt to Taoist priests with different realms and different physiques.
Although there were nearly 100 Taoist priests in the camp, this time entering the land of demons was a complete accident, and no one thought of carrying too many supplies, so the materials were still very lacking, and many times they could only settle for a while.
Meng Xu, a Taoist priest of the Zhaoshan Pill Pharmacy Department, was a little nervous, she was one of the only two smoke-swallowing Taoist priests in the team, but she was more accustomed to obeying other people's arrangements rather than making her own decisions, every time she found that the materials were lacking, her heart would rise, and she looked at her companions helplessly. He said, "What can I do?"
The others couldn't help it, and the smoke-swallowing Taoist didn't have confidence. They were even more flustered, and two Shengong Taoist priests accidentally broke five clay bowls. glanced at each other, their eyes were full of anger, and they all felt that this was Meng Xu's fault.
It was at this time that Gan Zhiquan walked in and stood at the door and glanced at it.
The seven Taoist priests all stopped what they were doing and looked at Gan Zhiquan blankly, not knowing how to deal with this Taoist priest, whether he was alive or dead, whether he was a demon or normal, whether he was free or a puppet, and no one could tell, not even himself.
"How's it going?" asked Gan Zhiquan, who had always been the recognized leader of the Demon Invasion Daoists. is different from Mu Xingqiu, he is "his own person", but now he has also become an "outsider".
"Uh...... It's okay. Meng Xu put more than a dozen Xinghua Feiying in his hand on the table, accidentally dropped one, and hurriedly cast a spell to suck it up, showing a little panic.
She is a smoke-swallowing Taoist, but standing in front of a Dining Xia Taoist priest, she is as restrained as an inhaling disciple.
An older Honglu Daoist couldn't help it, and said, "There are a few materials missing, and there are still a few things that are not enough. But it's not a big deal, the point is-" he glanced at Meng Xu, "everyone is inexperienced, and the conditions here are too simple. I don't know what the final elixir will look like. ”
Meng Xu's face was slightly red, she was the host, if the alchemy failed. I had to take the greatest responsibility, and whispered: "I am calling the mountain." Alchemy is not like this......"
Zhaoshan has everything, but there is almost nothing here.
Gan Zhiquan thought for a while. Walked to an open space where there were no things, conjured up a rectangular wooden table, summoned pens, paper and other things to spread on it, and then said to the seven Taoist priests: "Everyone come here, let's make a detailed plan first, and then start alchemy." ”
The Taoist priests walked over hesitantly, and they all stopped after a few steps, and Meng Xu mustered up the courage to ask, "Do you want to help yourself, or do you want to ...... Mu Xingqiu asked you to come?"
Gan Zhiquan laughed, his smile was a little stiff, his soul had not fully adapted to his original body, he raised his hand and rubbed the muscles on his face, "Does my answer make sense?"
Indeed, any kind of answer from Gan Zhiquan would be considered Mu Xingqiu's intention to stuff it into his mind, and the seven Taoist priests glanced at each other, but still did not take a step closer.
"If you think it's useless to make a detailed plan in advance, then ignore me, if you think it's still a little necessary, don't care who this means, neither me nor Mu Xingqiu will harm you, let alone destroy the alchemy, don't forget, Mu Xingqiu's two best friends have also fallen for evil magic. ”
Gan Zhiquan was speaking for Mu Xingqiu, which sounded more manipulated, but his words were very reasonable, and Meng Xu and the others really couldn't find a reason to object, so they all walked to the table and gathered in a circle.
"The first step of the plan, you have to settle down first, look at your current appearance, how can you still look like a Taoist priest?" Gan Zhiquan's voice was a little stern, but the seven alchemists felt that this was more like the Hongshan Taoist priest they knew before.
"I don't know what's going on. Meng Xu sighed lightly, "My Taoist heart seems to be getting more and more ...... I'm so worried that this is...... It's ......"
"It's a sign of enchantment. Gan Zhiquan finished speaking for her, pressed his hands on the table, and his eyes swept over the faces of the seven Taoist priests one by one, "I have been in the devil, I can tell you responsibly, the demons will never be flustered, they have doubts, but they are extremely convinced of their own doubts, and there is no hesitation." ”
The seven Taoist priests finally breathed a sigh of relief, and one Taoist priest asked cautiously, "Won't you enter the demon again?"
"Who knows, let's wait until the fifteen days are over. ”
"I heard that the method of re-destruction will cause changes in the body, and your changes ...... Where?"
Gan Zhiquan opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, which looked normal, and the other Taoist priests were puzzled, and his tongue suddenly flipped around, and it grew to six or seven feet, and it was covered with scales that were born backwards, like a whip with thorns.
The tongue flickered, quickly returned to normal, and returned to Gan Zhiquan's mouth, but the onlookers were startled, speechless for a long time, and their faces changed a little.
Gan Zhiquan remained silent, "The demon seed has destroyed everyone's Taoist heart, so your state of mind is not as calm as before, but this is not inevitable, my Taoist heart is not left at all, but I have not become a madman." In the past, we relied on practice and magic to stabilize our minds, but now we have to rely on our own will. Remember, dozens of Taoist priests are waiting for you to create the elixir, and since the most important materials are available, there is nothing to worry about. ”
The seven Taoist priests nodded at the same time, rekindling their confidence. Although Gan Zhiquan has undergone some changes in his body and personality, he is still the leader they believe in.
It took more than half an hour to make the plan. It was impossible to create something out of nothing, but the seven of them finally knew what they had to do. They will not be in a hurry when things come to an end, and after the plan becomes clear, they even feel that the elixir is not so difficult to make, and all the worries before are that they have thought too much.
"Let's get back to work. Meng Xu said happily, although the smoke-swallowing Taoist priest should not be moody, she still showed a happy smile.
Gan Zhiquan was a Taoist priest of the Five Elements Sect, and apart from stabilizing his morale and helping to make a detailed plan, he could not provide specific help to the alchemy, so he did not stay for long. Walked out of the tent.
At the door, he met Mu Xingqiu who came in.
The seven alchemy Taoist priests stopped what they were doing again, staring at the two Taoist priests, and there was a faint expectation: as soon as Mu Xingqiu raised his hand, Gan Zhiquan would obediently make the designated action.
But the expressions of these two people really disappointed them a little, Mu Xingqiu and Gan Zhiquan gave each other the standard Taoist courtesy, and without even saying a word, they went their separate ways.
"I need a favor from my fellow Daoists. Mu Xingqiu said, summoning a black-striped straw hat with the Demon Venerable's Righteous Method.
Everyone knows the power of this straw hat. The expressions of the seven alchemy Taoist priests changed again, especially the two Taoist priests of the Divine Engineering Sect, holding the clay pot and clay bowl that had just been made and had not yet been fired, and one of them said in a trembling voice: "I, we haven't entered the demon yet." "I don't think it's very convincing. Turning to Meng Xu and the others, "You can prove it, right?"
The other five Taoist priests nodded hesitantly.
The wooden table that Gan Zhiquan conjured up is still there. Mu Xingqiu walked over and put the straw hat on the table, "Don't get me wrong. I just wanted to put a stamp on it. ”
The two Shengong Taoist priests breathed a sigh of relief, put down the utensils in their hands and walked over. The other Taoist priests also approached curiously, looking at the straw hat that could bring people back from life to death and back again.
The Taoist priests of the Divine Engineering Department each summoned a copper seal and a bronze mirror, and used two magic weapons to observe the straw hat.
The straw hat trembled slightly, then slowly raised two magic scripts, floating in the air three feet high and spinning slowly.
A quarter of an hour later, the two Taoist priests put away their magic weapons, raised their hands to wipe the beads of sweat from their foreheads, glanced at each other, and shook their heads at the same time, one of them said: "The power of the Demon Venerable Fa-rectification is too strong, but the straw hat is too fragile, we ...... I don't have the ability to put a mark. ”
Another said: "I really don't know what the person who blessed the Demon Venerable Fa-rectification thought in the first place, and it was so powerful that such a powerful power was attached to a mortal thing, and at most six months, the straw hat would disintegrate on its own. ”
"I blessed it, and I let it stay on the straw hat because I was worried that the power of the Demon Venerable's Fa-rectification was too strong. Mu Xingqiu said.
The Daoist of the Divine Engineering Department laughed embarrassedly twice, "This is also a way, part of the power of the Demon Venerable Fa is used to maintain the integrity of the straw hat, and there is really no way to fight back against the master." Sorry, we can't put a stamp on it, but there's probably only one person in the entire camp who can do it. ”
Mu Xingqiu had thought of this person a long time ago, but as long as there was a choice, he was unwilling to ask this person for help.
Asan Taoist Zhou Qianhui, not only a Taoist priest of the Divine Engineering Department, but also the first one, slaying demons and eliminating demons is not his specialty, and blessing a magic weapon with a proprietary imprint, looking at the entire Taoist system, there are few people who can compare to him.
Mu Xingqiu said goodbye to the seven alchemy Taoists and had to go to see Zhou Qianhui.
The straw hat became more and more unstable, and the Taoist priest of the Divine Engineering Department judged that it could last for up to six months, but Mu Xingqiu felt that it might decompose within a few days.
Zhou Qianhui was tied to a free rope, and the tent was applied with multiple spells, so he didn't know anything about what was happening in the camp, but when he saw the black-striped straw hat, his face still showed a solemn look, and without waiting for Mu Xingqiu to speak, he said: "If I'm not mistaken, there are demon spells on it." ”
"That's right. Mu Xingqiu didn't show his straw hat when they met last time, so he put it in front of Zhou Qianhui and sat opposite.
Zhou Qianhui couldn't cast spells, he could only observe the straw hat with the naked eye, and after a long time, he asked, "Have you cast a spell here?"
"Well, twice. ”
"To kill or to save people?"
"I think I'm saving people. ”
"Good. Zhou Qianhui looked up at Mu Xingqiu, with a sneering smile on his face, "You can prepare for the aftermath for these two people." ”
