Chapter 0040: First Alchemy

On a new day, the morning glow reflects the clouds on the horizon, a round of red sun slowly rises, illuminating the glazed tile roof of the palace in the mountains and valleys, and the morning mist shrouds the green mountain tips that stretch around Zanhuang Peak like a fairyland.

Yang Shao took the golden wolf shuttle to a branch of Zanhuang Peak and flew slowly, and when he was about to reach the top of Chongyang, a red-crowned crane with snow-white feathers flew in the clouds and mist in the distance, and on the back of the crane stood an eight- or nine-year-old girl in a yellow shirt and a green skirt, who was sleepy-eyed, covering her mouth and yawning from time to time.

"Ah......h Senior Brother Yang, it's morning!" The little girl in the green dress waved her hand from afar, and the small bell tied around her waist made a string of pleasant sounds.

This is the little junior sister Ge who caught the glowing firefly last night, Yang Shao couldn't help laughing, and took a look at the Tiansha Divine Eye Technique, a faint blue light appeared on her body with a slight spiritual pressure, it seemed that she was cultivating the water attribute exercise, and she actually had the cultivation of the seventh layer of the qi induction period, so she replied from afar: "Little Bell Senior Sister is also early, is it also going to Chongyang Dingdi Yan Pavilion?"

"Little bells, hee-hee...... I like this name!" The little girl in the green dress was stunned, lifted the jade bell tied to her belt and shook it in her hand, nodded with a smile and said, "Well, I'm going to refine a furnace of water to contain the Qing Ling Pill, and I don't know if I can succeed." Senior Brother Yang must have come here to refine the pill, right? Why don't you help me refine it?"

Yang Shao was stunned, Shui Yun Qing Ling Pill is a pill of the same level as Jiuzhi Pill and Yang and Dan, and he has never even refined Bigu Dan, how dare he agree to her casually, if her materials are scrapped, the little girl will cry and be troublesome, so she replied with a smile: "I am happy to help you, but your own pill is best to refine it yourself, so that you can learn alchemy and grow more skills!"

"Okay...... That's what my grandfather said, don't help me with alchemy!" The little bell pouted and muttered, looking innocent and lively, without scheming.

When Yang Shao heard this, he immediately asked, "Who is your grandfather?"

"My grandfather is on duty in the east attic of Tianji Palace, and the daily task deacon is enough, if Senior Brother Yang wants to take on the task next time, you can come to me!" replied with an enthusiastic face.

It turned out to be Ge Yutang! This thin old man is not bad...... Yang Shao nodded with a smile and said, "Okay! Diyan Pavilion has arrived, let's go down!"

Diyan Pavilion is an independent compound located on the top of a mountain, surrounded by green trees, remote and secluded, and there are not many people in the morning, even the two miscellaneous disciples in their twenties who are on duty in front of the gatehouse also look listless. Seeing that the two of them landed together, each receiving the magic weapon and the spirit beast, his spirit suddenly perked up, and one of them beckoned: "How many days will it take for the two of you to come to alchemy or refining?"

Yang Shao arched his hand and was about to reply, but the little bell raised his little face and smiled slyly, stepped forward and hurriedly replied: "It's all alchemy! This Senior Brother Yang was invited by me to teach me alchemy, just share an earth fire room, how many contribution points and spirit stones do you want?"

It turns out that this also has to contribute points and spirit stones...... However, looking at the appearance of the little bell, it is obvious that he often comes to know the gauge, Yang Shao hurriedly shut up and waited for the little bell to bargain.

A miscellaneous disciple smiled flatteringly, and said with some confusion: "Senior Sister Ge said that you are laughing, do you still lack contribution points, it is unheard of for two people to share an earth fire room, normally one requires five hundred contribution points, and another ten lower-grade spirit stones, but if the two share it, I have to go in and ask Master Sima Mingyi." ”

"Let's go, senior sister, I'm waiting for you to reply!" the little bell crossed his waist like a little adult, and said with a serious face.

The miscellaneous disciple trotted into the gatehouse and compound, and came out after a while and replied: "Uncle Sima said that the contribution points are calculated according to the head, which cannot be less, and the spirit stone only needs to be paid ten yuan." ”

Seeing that the little bell looked up with an inquiring look, Yang Shao replied with a smile: "Don't worry! I have exactly five hundred contribution points!"

The miscellaneous disciples led the two into the gatehouse and crossed the vestibule, and when they arrived at the main hall, a big fat man with a fat face and a big belly about to burst the red robe behind the table looked at the two of them with slit-like eyes, and said casually: "Bring the jade plate! Who will hand over the spirit stone?"

The little bell is obviously familiar with the way, and when he saw Yang Shao take out the jade plate, he reached out and grabbed it, jumped up happily and ran forward, took out another jade card and a small bag of spirit stones, and said: "Hehe...... Hello big fat man, uncle! I'm here again for alchemy!"

"Hmm...... Although they are from the same family, but the people's hearts are not ancient, you can't share an earth fire room with others next time, forget it this time, understand?" Sima Mingyi glanced at Yang Shao with a scrutinizing face, and said to the little bell.

The little bell replied nonchalantly: "I know! Senior Brother Yang is a good person, it's okay!"

"One of you has eight layers of qi induction period, and one of you has seven floors, just open a fourth-class Ding Chou earth fire room, take this voucher, go ahead!" Sima Mingyi picked up the jade card of the two of them, swiped the contribution points, and collected the spirit stones, quickly opened the earth fire room, and buried himself in dealing with a bunch of books on the table.

"This way, Senior Brother Yang is coming with me!"

The little bell picked up a rune paper-like voucher, beckoned enthusiastically, and when he saw Yang Shao follow, he handed him back the jade card, volunteered to lead the way in front, took Yang Shao out of the back door of the lobby, out of the atrium through a laneway, to a boulder carved with many patterns in front of the stone wall gate, picked up the rune paper-like voucher and threw it out, the voucher released a dazzling spiritual light and hit the stone door, the stone door squeaked and opened on its own, and the voucher also fell by itself after the spiritual power was consumed.

The little bell stretched out his hand to pick up the voucher, pulled up Yang Shao's sleeve and strode in, and turned around and introduced: "Senior Brother Yang should still be the first time to come to the Earth Yan Pavilion, right? The earth fire in this earth fire room is the fire in the center of the earth, it is the ancestor of the sect who used great magic power to draw out the ground and stabilize it with a magic circle, from the late stage of foundation building to the seventh layer of the qi induction period, there are more than 100 rooms of five levels, and the intensity of the ground fire of each level is also different from high to low, anyway, it is suitable to use, by the way, do you have an alchemy furnace?"

"Of course......! Don't talk!Calm down, be careful if the alchemy is unsuccessful!" Yang Shao smiled bitterly, and when he met this chirping little bell, he insisted on pulling the shared room, and now he finally felt a little headache.

"Hee-hee...... I don't speak!" The little bell immediately fell silent, and walked briskly through a long alleyway.

When he arrived at the door of a tall stone room, the little bell opened the door with his voucher again, and Yang Shao followed in, and suddenly saw a faint red light flashing in the open space in the middle of the rectangular stone room, and a wave of heat came to his face, and the hot breath baked the skin on his face faintly painful.

This time, without waiting for the little bell to step forward and make a move, Yang Shao hurriedly said: "I have five copies of Bigu Dan's materials, I will help you refine them after refining them first." ”

"Okay, then I'll give you a water spirit shield protector later!" the little bell smiled happily.

Yang Shao nodded, and when he stepped forward, there was a circular flat bottom with a depression in the middle of the ground, like a frying pan, which was obviously the mouth of the earth fire pool, but at this time there was a black lid on it, and wisps of red and blue scorching flames overflowed around it, and it felt very dangerous to look at the intensity of the flame.

Yang Shao pinched the trick with both hands, made a handprint and pointed it out, the black lid flew to the side, and a raging fire two or three feet high gushed out from the mouth of the earth fire pool, and the indoor temperature rose suddenly.

Yang Shao walked to a green jade-colored round platform next to the mouth of the earth fire pool and sat down cross-legged, suddenly felt a cold breath soaked into the whole body, the hot feeling in front of him finally faded a little, and hurriedly beckoned to take out the blue-gray Cangyan furnace from the storage bag, and after injecting mana, several magic tricks were pointed out, and the Cangyan furnace suddenly became larger to more than a foot wide and two feet high, and flew to the mouth of the earth fire pool and put it upright, and when the bottom of the furnace heated up and slowly turned red, Yang Shao played another trick, the furnace lid flew up and hung in the air, and the storage bag on his waist flew out more than 20 small boxes of all kinds. The vial landed on the ground in front of him.

At this time, the little bell also went to a green jade round platform opposite the mouth of the earth fire pool to sit down, and condensed a blue light shining in his hand, a rippling round ball of water waves, and when it gradually became larger, he slapped Yang Shao with a palm, and the blue light water spirit cover wrapped Yang Shao at once, and the little bell played a magic trick in the air from time to time, outputting mana, and blessing the water spirit cover.

A cold feeling enveloped him, Yang Shao was no longer burned by the flames, and concentrated on urging the medicine box and bottle to add medicinal materials to the Dan furnace. First, with a wave of his hand, a blue-green porcelain bottle flew up on its own, the cork fell off, flew to the mouth of the Dan furnace and poured out a stream of green liquid that had been refined once, and then flew back to the ground. Then a small yellow box flew up and poured out a pale yellow ginseng fruit with a slight aura. Then there was a bottle of viscous Qingling honey, a bottle of spiritual spring water, plus a heavenly immortal vine and a golden olive......

It wasn't until all the elixirs were added that Yang Shao breathed a sigh of relief, and after a burst of medicinal incense wafted out of the furnace, he cast a spell to make the Dan furnace hang in the air a little higher, and beckoned to take a black cylinder with holes on all sides and place it at the mouth of the ground fire pool to frame the bottom of the furnace, so that after the fire was released, the furnace temperature could be maintained, and the elixir could be slowly boiled and refined.

Until an hour later, the medicinal fragrance became more and more intense, and the little bell loudly urged the furnace to be opened quickly, Yang Shao snorted, and felt that it should be about the same, so he recalled the Cangyan furnace and placed it on the ground, cast a spell to open the furnace lid, and a stream of green smoke gushed out, and he was dumbfounded.

"I told you to hurry up and open the furnace, this time the liquid medicine leaked into the danmo, and it was full of burnt black plaster, and even the medicine residue fell into black charcoal, see how you eat it? Why don't you let me come?" the little bell shouted angrily, with a look of eagerness to try.

"It's okay! There is also the elixir, just come again!" Yang Shao shook his head, how could she let her practice her hands, carefully recalled the smell of the medicinal fragrance just now, and the steps to put in the elixir, according to what the book said, there seems to be no problem, it should be in the process of refining the condensing pill, the fire is still too big, and it seems that some techniques have to be assisted.

When the second furnace starts, Yang Shao first puts the Dan furnace a little higher, gradually adds the elixir and then frying it on a high fire, when the medicinal fragrance is overflowing, the Dan furnace is raised, and from time to time let the Dan furnace rise away from the flame and cool for a while before putting it down, and so on many times, until the medicinal fragrance becomes strong and then open the furnace in time.

As a result, the pill was refined and condensed into ten, but the surface was a layer of black color. Yang Shao picked up a powder with two fingers to erase the blackened surface, and it was really crystal white in it, and it also contained a certain amount of aura, but the quality was extremely poor, barely usable, and he was despised by the little bell.

Busy until dusk, Yang Shao finally refined two furnaces of Bigu Dan of decent quality, this skill naturally made Xiao Bell roll his eyes, and stayed away, not daring to ask him for help. However, Xiao Bell's own furnace of water contains the Qing Ling Pill, which was reluctantly made under Yang Shao's protector, but the quality was not good, and it only condensed into five pills.
