Chapter 119: Gathering Souls
After contemplating and pondering, Shi Tianci came up with the alchemy method of freezing one of the raw materials with ice to slow down its ablation process, to ensure that the first raw material is almost thawed, and after being mixed with other medicines, the second one will be thawed and begin to ablate, so that the time between the two is staggered, so as to avoid conflicts.
The raw materials for the Soul Gathering Pill were not rare, and Shi Tianci could easily buy them. However, it is difficult to determine how far and how hot the second ingredient should be to ensure that there is no conflict between the two. Therefore, Shi Tianci's first refining of the Soul Gathering Pill naturally failed.
Before the first ingredient was thawed, the second ingredient had been thawed, and the two were mixed together, causing a fierce reaction, and Shi Tianci already knew that there was something wrong without opening the lid, because there was a strong mushy smell coming from inside. Shi Tianci carefully increased the thickness of the freeze and lowered the temperature of the Dan furnace.
As a result, although there was no conflict, the previous medicine had already begun to condense, and the second raw material had just begun to ablate, and what was refined after the most was a viscous paste, not an elixir.
It seems that this refining method is laborious and inefficient, and it is not reliable at all. Can we find a way to solve this problem once and for all? Shi Tianci looked at the paste at the bottom of the Dan furnace, and suddenly had an idea, since it was difficult to grasp the sealing, wouldn't it be much easier to use the talisman array?
Thinking of this, Shi Tianci cleaned up the Dan furnace and arranged a small rune array at the bottom of it, which was specially used to generate cold ice.
He arranged the rune array, put the raw materials, filled in the spirit stone, activated the rune array, and began to heat the Dan furnace. Under the high temperature of the Dan furnace, the medicine outside the rune array began to melt, and the medicine inside the rune array was frozen by the rune array. After the most rearly wood used the eye of time and space to see that the medicine outside the rune array had melted, he used his true qi to terminate the rune array outside the Dan furnace.
The internal and external drugs were integrated, and at the same time began to condense, and finally became a pill. Shi Tianci opened the lid, and the color of the pill inside was bright and round like jade, and it actually reached the top-grade condition!
This runic formation solves a big problem, and it is much easier to manipulate than with the Freeze method. When it's time to get to the fire, it's time to terminate the talisman array, and you can grasp the best time to melt the medicine most accurately.
Shi Tianci poured the refined Soul Gathering Pill into Tang Kefa, and within half an hour, Tang Kefa woke up leisurely. It seems that this elixir is completely symptomatic. Tang Xianzhi, who was overjoyed, gave Shi Tianci a heavy punch and said, "Brother Sun, thank you so much for this!"
Shi Tianci shook his head and said, "Your father saved me first, and I just wanted to repay my kindness." ”
Tang Xianzhi said: "Then you saved me before." ”
Shi Tianci said with a smile: "They are all their own brothers, don't count them so carefully, quickly get some porridge for the old man, he is afraid that he will be hungry." ”
Within three days, Tang Kefa had fully recovered. Shi Tianci took out the proceeds of this expedition and distributed them with Tang Kefa. The Earth Fire Tree was half of one person, the Chen Bronze Fetus was inseparable, Shi Tianci kept it himself, and the Chen Copper that the One-Eyed Dragon Boss had snatched from another expedition in the passage was given to Tang Kefa.
In addition, Tang Kefa is so poor that he has nothing but a flying sword. When fighting with people, he couldn't even take out a decent magic weapon. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have to pretend to be honest in the Fire River Valley, and he would just fight with real knives and guns.
Therefore, Shi Tianci only left the Shui Yingchen Bronze Stick, the Xunling Purple Thunder Thread, and the Black Lotus Gourd that had been refined by him, and the remaining twenty or thirty magic weapons, all of which were given to Tang Kefa. Tang Kefa, who was originally very poor, suddenly became a rich man worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.
To Shi Tianci's surprise, Tang Xianzhi had a talent for business. The pills he left behind were all sold short by Tang Xianzhi, and without the pills, Tang Xianzhi collected some old magic weapons, ** and talisman seals, and sold them again. During this period of time, the income of the small shop turned out to be much more profitable than when Shi Tianci was running it.
Therefore, although Tang Xianzhi is not short of money now, he still stays in the store and works as a partner for Shi Tianci. When you are busy, you sell goods, and when you are not busy, you learn alchemy with Shi Tianci. Shi Tianci also wanted him to have a craft and eat well in the future, so he naturally taught him everything.
On the way to the Valley of Fire, the flow of time in that strange passage was displaced due to the explosion of the rune mine, and many people did not dare to cross it again, waiting for someone to find a new path. As a result, the people who go to the Fire Valley are getting better and better, which has led to the price of the Earth Fire Tree, which is not low, skyrocketing.
Tang Kefa, who lacked spirit stones, saw it, so he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to sell some earth fire trees. When he got more than 500 plants, he took out 100 and asked Tang Xianzhi to make a move. It happened that Shi Tianci was going to buy raw materials, so he went to the medicinal herb shop with Tang Xian.
The owner of the medicinal herb shop is called Lian Chengfang, and when he saw Tang Xianzhi, he asked angrily: "What's the matter? You poor ghost want to take advantage of me again? ”
Tang Xianzhi had no money in the past, and in order to make a living, he did do some business where the owner bought and sold the west, but it was just to make some errand money, and he didn't take advantage of anyone. This Lian Chengfang just looked down on Tang Xianzhi and deliberately belittled him.
Tang Xianzhi said: "Don't look down on people, I'm here to sell medicine today." ”
Lian Cheng snorted and said, "Just you, what medicine can you sell? Don't you just cut down two trees and light a local fire tree and sell them to me?"
Tang Xianzhi took out an earth fire tree and said, "It's really an earth fire tree, but it's true." ”
Lian Cheng saw the fire tree on the ground, and his eyes lit up suddenly. Now the road to the Fire River Valley is blocked, and the price of the Earth Fire Tree has risen boundlessly, but it still can't be collected, and his pharmacy has been out of stock for a long time. He hurriedly asked, "How many Earth Fire Trees do you have?"
Tang Xianzhi said: "One hundred." ”
Lian Cheng was taken aback, he had been going to the Fire River Valley once before, and at most he could only get a hundred Earth Fire Trees, where did Tang Xianzhi get so much? He had a turn of his mind, and suddenly thought of the news of the disappearance of the one-eyed dragon boss some time ago, before the one-eyed dragon disappeared, he was going to the Fire River Valley to collect medicine, and that trip he went with Tang Kefa's father.
Lian Cheng rolled his eyes, and came to a ghost idea. He looked at the Earth Fire Tree and asked, "Your father got this Earth Fire Tree from your father in the Fire River Valley, right?"
Tang Xianzhi nodded and said, "That's right." ”
Lian Chengfang said: "Do you know that your father went to the Valley of Fire, and my brother took him there?"
Tang Xian was stunned, he knew that his father was going with the one-eyed dragon, but he didn't know that the one-eyed dragon and Lian Chengfang were actually brothers. However, accidents on expeditions are commonplace, and he has nothing to hide. Therefore, he said, "My father went with the Boss of the One-Eyed Dragon. ”
Lian Chengfang said: "The one-eyed dragon is my younger brother, how is he?"
Tang Xianzhi said: "They were attacked by the Lava Beast in the Fire River Valley, and the One-Eyed Dragon Boss died. ”
Lian Chengfang immediately took out a sad face and said, "My poor brother, you died so miserably!"
In fact, he and the one-eyed dragon are not related, but the one-eyed dragon often comes to him to sell land and fire trees, and the two of them talk a lot, so he knows that the one-eyed dragon has no relatives and no reason, so he pretends to be his brother.
Tang Xianzhi said: "Boss's Day, since you are in a bad mood, I will go to another pharmacy." ”
Lian Cheng hurriedly said: "Don't, I took your Earth Fire Tree, but the one-eyed dragon is my younger brother, and he is dead, should I give my share of the Earth Fire Tree?"
Speaking of which, he just wanted to pretend to be the one-eyed dragon's brother and deceive Tang Xianzhi of some earth fire trees. According to the rules of the underground ghost town, go out and explore at your own risk. If there are casualties, no one is responsible, whether natural or man-made. Therefore, Lian Chengfang's claim is groundless. He wanted to take advantage of Tang Xianzhi's sympathy.
Shi Tianci, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Boss, since you are the elder brother of the one-eyed dragon boss, should you pay me back the gambling debts he owes me?"
Shi Tianci went on an expedition with the one-eyed boss, and he heard him talk about gambling along the way, so he was naturally familiar with it.
When Lian Cheng heard this, he was dumbfounded, and he subconsciously asked, "How much does he owe you?"
Shi Tianci said: "More than 20,000 spirit stones." ”
When Lian Cheng heard this, he secretly complained, he knew that most of the spirit stones of this one-eyed dragon were gambled out, so he was busy talking about him left and right, and said to Tang Xianzhi: "Where is your earth fire tree? Take it out, I will collect as much as I want!"
Seeing this, Tang Xianzhi understood in his heart that this guy turned out to be ill-intentioned. He said angrily: "The boss is not kind to this business, I'd better go to another house." ”
After speaking, regardless of Lian Cheng's pulling and pulling in the back, he and Shi Tianci went to the pharmacy next door. Lian Cheng saw that the cooked duck was flying again, and he couldn't help but be angry. It's good now, not only did I not deceive the Earth Fire Tree, but I couldn't even collect it, and I cheapened it for nothing.
Annoyed and angry, Lian Cheng thought about it and came up with a poisonous plan. Since you will not let me get rich, I will not let you be safe. He returned to the shop, hid and began to carry out his machinations.
Shi Tianci bought the raw materials, Tang Xianzhi sold the earth fire tree, happily returned to his small shop, opened the door to do business. It didn't take long for a person to enter the store, look left, look again, and take a fancy to an old magic weapon that Tang Xianzhi had received. He asked, "How many spirit stones are there for this magic weapon?"
Tang Xianzhi looked at it and said, "Three thousand spirit stones." ”
The man didn't say a word, and immediately took out three thousand spirit stones and took the old magic weapon in his hand. In fact, this old magic weapon was damaged in many places, and it was collected by Tang Xian with one thousand spirit stones, at best, it was worth two thousand spirit stones, and Tang Xianzhi secretly felt funny about this wronged man.
The man played with the old magic weapon for a long time before he said to Tang Xianzhi: "This magic weapon was originally a pair, if you can find the other one, I am willing to give 50,000 spirit stones!"
When Tang Xianyi heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Where did this magic weapon come from, and why is it so valuable?"
The man said, "You don't know, this is an ancient artifact, and I bought this thing, not for the broken artifact itself, but for the spirit inside the artifact." If you can find another one, I will strip out both of them, and I will be able to inject the artifact spirit into my newly minted Double Dragon Moon-Dividing Knife. ”
Half of the power of an artifact comes from the spirit of the instrument, so when Tang Xianzhi heard it, he naturally had no doubts. He said, "Don't worry, as long as I can receive another one, I will keep it for you." ”
The man left a thousand spirit stones with satisfaction and said, "This is a deposit, you can take it." ”
With that, he walked away.
