Chapter 143: Fire Slave

Previous Chapter

Yao Pagoda is just one of the many Dan Pagodas, responsible for the refining of the lowest-level pills, Yao Pagoda has ten layers, each layer has a clear division of labor, and is responsible for different processes.

The first layer is dedicated to the refining of the Green Spirit Grass, the Green Spirit Grass is only a first-order Spirit Grass, and there is naturally no difficulty in refining it, but looking at the mountains of Green Spirit Grass piled up in the corners, it only shocks people.

Lin Yu was taken to the first floor, where the newly appointed layer master Deng Xi was giving a lecture, and next to him were six smiling and flattering monks, their gray clothes and green edges, which were not the same as ordinary fire slaves.

Lin Yu sneered at Deng Xi and those hypocritical monks, and he turned his head and looked around at the entire Dan Pagoda on the first floor.

There are only three Dan furnaces on the entire floor, but they are long strips and extremely large, giving people the illusion that they can even hold all the green spirit grass next to them. The Dan Furnace is divided into countless areas by steel plates, forming a small Dan Furnace, and hundreds of fire slaves are controlling the spiritual fire, and the mechanical repetitive refining action.

Lin Yu noticed that the cultivation of the fire slaves here was not high, and beside the high-temperature Dan furnace, most of them were naked, revealing their dark and thin bodies.

Before coming to Qingzhu Peak, Lin Yu thought that this was the holy land of alchemy, maybe a random medicine boy on the mountain could be a master of alchemy, but seeing the cruel status quo, he found that he was wrong, very wrong, thinking that he was going to do the same work as these fire slaves, he suddenly felt a chill.

Lin Yu changed into clothes trimmed with green edges and came to the "Dan Furnace" he was in charge of, while Deng Xi was sneering and staring at Lin Yu's back, moving the joints of his fingers.

The fire slaves cast curious glances at Lin Yu, they couldn't understand why the adults in the beautiful green-edged clothes would do the same work as them, but after the "overseer" who was also wearing the green-edged clothes glared, everyone's commotion stopped and continued to repeat the work in hand.

"Hey, brother, new here?"

Lin Yu was looking at the stack of green spirit grass behind him, which was the amount he needed to complete today, when the fire slave next to him greeted him and threw a small bottle.

"Yes. What is this?" Lin Yu tried to identify the contents of the vial, but found that he didn't recognize it, so he asked. The fire slave in front of him was a dark-skinned, smiling young man, not much older than him.

"Bigu Dan, for the newcomer, Xi Nong, what do you call it?" the young man raised his calloused hand.

"Lin Yu. Lin Yu stretched out his hand, high-fived Xi Nong, and asked, "This is what you refined?"

"Of course!" said Synon with a proud smile, showing his white teeth.

Opening the vial, Lin Yu sniffed it, it was indeed different from the ordinary Bigu Dan, no wonder he couldn't recognize it, but through the taste and color, Lin Yu knew that this Bigu Dan was of good quality. At a glance, he saw that the cultivation of the attending nongs was only seven or eight layers of qi refining, and it was really amazing that such a cultivation could refine such a quality of elixir.

For this friend who took the initiative to say hello, Lin Yu had a good impression.

The refining of Qingling Grass is not difficult, but because of its own heavy water attributes, refining will be more cumbersome, and there is almost no possibility of tricks, but Lin Yu noticed that while Xi Nong was talking to him, he started the work in his hand. I saw his arm twitch rapidly, and the rows of green spirit grass were thrown into the fire one by one, and then quickly taken out, this action was only a breath of time, but the green spirit grass after the fire had been refined.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lin Yu would hardly have dared to believe it, how strong control over the flames would be required to complete the refining so quickly, and one after another? How strong is the familiarity with the spirit grass? To do this, it is difficult to accomplish without a high level of talent.

However, is Xi Nong's talent very good? Lin Yu shook his head when he saw it, Xi Nong's own spiritual fire was only a colorless fire, and it was not pure, but Xi Nong could still do this, there was only one possibility-which could make perfect. The repetition of each day has already made Xi Non know where the flame is, what temperature is most suitable, and he is familiar with the timing and operation, so he can do it to this extent.

Perhaps it was time that made Xi Nong a master of refining the Qingling Grass.

Time, countless repetitions, can make every alchemist become a master, but this master is only talking about a craftsman, and it will never be possible to become a master of alchemy, although Xi Nong can skillfully refine the Qingling Grass, and can also refine the quality of the Zhuji Dan, however, that's all.

This Dao ideal must be Yu Yao Zhenren also knew very well, Lin Yu didn't understand that he still let these fire slaves do this, wasn't this wasting their lives? Lin Yu felt a little angry, he didn't want to be such a person, and this was not the reason why he came here.

Syllable!

There was a crisp whip sound around him.

"Hurry up and work, you can't rest today if you don't finish it!" the overseer yelled at Lin Yu, who was stunned.

Lin Yu frowned, hesitated for a moment, but still grabbed a green spirit grass and began refining.

The "overseer" in charge of the inspection walked around, and Lin Yu heard the screams of fire slaves from time to time, as well as the smell of burnt skin and flesh.

It's hell.

"I am not very proficient in refining for the first time, I have finished my work today, Brother Lin Yu, you will evenly distribute the spirit grass to me, and I will help you complete it." Xi Nong touched his head, still smiling.

"Thank you, I'd better come by myself, after all, I don't want to be whipped!" Lin Yu waved his hand and rejected Xi Nong's kindness with a smile.

"Also, those demons are not human at all, and they will fight to death whenever someone makes a mistake. Shinon complained.

"Aren't they just like you, why can they beat people?"

"How can it be the same, they are apprentices recruited by real people themselves, and we are just ordinary people with no talent. By the way, you're wearing the same clothes as them, so you came here through selection. After Xi Nong finished his work, he simply talked to Xia Mengsheng.

"It seems that yes, if you have not offended anyone. Lin Yu smiled helplessly, with his ability to refine the Qingling Grass, he was still able to catch it, and after getting acquainted with it, it was not much slower than Xi Nong, so he was not in a hurry, and continued to chat with Xi Nong: "Then have you ever thought about leaving here?"

"Why did you leave?" said Sinon, puzzled

"But the repetitive work every day in the dark, and the fact that you are accidentally beaten, make you not want to escape from your life? Don't you want to change?"

"Wouldn't that be good?" said Sinon very seriously.

This sentence made Lin Yu stunned and didn't know how to answer.

"If the refining fails, and the waste of materials is not beaten, then what will those who have done a good job think?" Xi Nong still said seriously: "And the people who came here had a more difficult life before than now, so why be greedy?"

Lin Yu only felt that his brain was pounding after hearing this, he obviously felt that what Xi Nong said was wrong, but he didn't know how to refute it.
