Chapter 308: Gathering Spirits
After the surprise, Lin Quan quickly calmed down again.
He didn't rush into the tower, but first circled around the Yin-Yang Pagoda, which had doubled in size, and only after making sure that there was nothing else to discover, he came to the gate, touched his chin and thought.
Not only did the tower double in size and height of each floor, but most importantly, it suddenly increased by one floor, which was obviously related to his breakthrough to the condensation stage.
"So, every time I break through a great realm, this Yin-Yang Pagoda will have an extra layer, right?" And according to the nine realms of the immortal cultivation realm, he guessed that this yin and yang tower could reach the highest nine floors.
"Well, let me see what good things are waiting for me on the second floor of this Yin-Yang Pagoda!" Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated to stride into the Yin-Yang Pagoda.
The first floor was still full of chaotic qi as before, and these dense mist with the characteristics of ripening spirit grass did not thin out as the tower grew taller and larger. This situation made Lin Quan's heart reassured, and in the future, he would be able to plant more precious spirit grasses and some very tall spirit trees.
Then he walked quickly to the Tai Chi array in the middle and stood still, and disappeared on the first floor with a single thought.
In the past, this Tai Chi Array that exuded Yin and Yang Qi could only send him out of the Tai Chi space, but now there was one more option, and that was to directly teleport him to the second layer.
The size and height of the second floor of the Yin-Yang Pagoda are exactly the same as those of the first floor. The difference is that the ground of Tower 2 is jade-white, while the top is black, which is exactly the opposite of the first floor. In addition, on the left and right sides of him there is a gossip furnace about three zhang high.
"It seems that these two gossip furnaces are special treasures on the second floor, right? But are these things alchemy or refining weapons? What kind of flame do they use?"
Lin Quan looked at the two gossip furnaces suspiciously, their appearance was exactly the same, but the color was black and white, just like twin brothers. What made him the most strange was that the bottom of the two gossip furnaces was completely integrated with the ground, and there was no place to start a fire at all, even if he wanted to set up spiritual charcoal, it was impossible.
Since he couldn't guess why, Lin Quan walked over directly, circled around the two gossip furnaces respectively, and stretched out his hands to knock and stroke all over the furnace wall.
It's just that after studying for a long time, he still doesn't have the slightest clue, only that these two furnaces must be used to refine something. Because he found a small door on the side of the furnace wall, behind which was a hole that led directly into the furnace, and at a glance he knew that it was the entrance to the furnace to put materials into it.
After a moment of silence, Lin Quan turned around and returned to the first floor, picked two seven-star kapok plants with medicinal properties of about fifty years, and put them into the black and white furnaces respectively.
As soon as the two elixirs entered the furnace, the Bagua Furnace, which had not moved at all, suddenly flashed a layer of faint black and white spiritual light. Seeing this, Lin Quan hurriedly took a few steps back, his eyes full of anticipation staring at the two stoves without blinking.
After just a few breaths, the two furnace doors suddenly made a crisp "pop" and closed automatically. Then, the black and white aura around the furnace suddenly burst out, enveloping the two gossip furnaces like a raging flame.
Looking at these two imposing black and white twin flames, the look of anticipation in Lin Quan's eyes became more and more intense. Yes, although he couldn't feel the heat and temperature of the flames from these two black and white flames, he still believed that they were a kind of spiritual flame with great power.
It didn't take much effort for the two Bagua Furnaces to refine the Seven Star Kapok, and after only about a stick of incense, the surging black and white light flame was completely extinguished. Then, with only two soft clicks, a hidden secret door opened under the entrance of the two stoves to drop materials, and a few gadgets fell out of each of them.
"Hey, what kind of fame has really been refined by just two spirit grasses, and it's still so fast?"
Lin Quan was a little stunned, he had completely used these two spirit grasses as a guidestone before, and he didn't expect any results. So when he confirmed that they were working properly, he was already satisfied. After all, he couldn't even be sure if these two furnaces were alchemy, and even if they could really do alchemy, it would be impossible for them to become alchemists without anyone controlling them.
With such a question, he quickly stepped forward and collected the knick-knacks that the two stoves "spit out" separately.
The black furnace "spit out" two pieces of emerald green spars the size of thumbs. After a little inspection, Lin Quan keenly felt that they contained a wood spirit power that was not weak, and it looked like a wood spirit stone that had shrunk several times.
"Well, the spirit grass has been directly refined into a wood-based spirit stone, although it is a little smaller, but this wood-based spirit power is much purer than the lower-grade spirit stone. It seems that you can try it when there is an urgent shortage of wood-based spirit stones in the future. Lin Quan nodded noncommittally, and for a while he couldn't gauge whether this kind of exchange was cost-effective.
Next is the white stove "spitting" out.
On closer inspection, there was a green crystal the size of a fingernail and a black mass of filth.
The filth had a pungent smell and no need to guess to know it was useless slag. As for the green crystal, he reached out curiously and fiddled with it, and the crystal quickly dissipated into a small handful of powder, which revealed the fragrance of herbs.
"Essence of Plants, no?"
His eyes widened in disbelief, and he examined it for a moment before he happily put it away.
The effect of both stoves was somewhat beyond his expectations, especially the effect of the white stove, which made him overjoyed. After pacing back and forth a few steps, he suddenly turned around and left the Yin-Yang Tower, and after a while, he returned to the second floor with a full storage bag.
With a "whoosh", he poured out a bag of things that he didn't need at all.
These items are dozens of ordinary spirit grasses that are no longer used, various refining tools and materials for refining puppets, as well as spirit stones, talisman seals, the fur of demon beasts, and twenty or thirty low-level and mid-level magic weapons.
With so many items containing spiritual power, Lin Quan began to test it patiently. Each time, he would take out two things of basically the same quality and put them into the black and white furnaces, and then check the results of refining one by one.
After two hours of busy work, he finally roughly understood the effect of the black and white double furnace.
The role of the black stove is very domineering and singular.
It can convert all items containing spiritual power into hedrons of different qualities and sizes. To put it simply, it is a garbage recycling furnace that can turn things that are completely unusable into spirit stones.
The white furnace is used for decomposition and quenching.
If the item is a ritual artifact or a finished golem part, it will separate and restore all the materials inside.
If the input item is a material that has been restored once, or simply a spirit object with relatively single attributes, such as spirit grass and spirit stone, its function is to quench the essence of them, and discard the residue and dross.
"In that case, then I will call you 'Splitting' (White Furnace) and 'Gathering Spirits' (Black Furnace). Lin Quan patted the two gossip furnaces with satisfaction, and gave them a name as a matter of course.
He had already figured out that when he wanted to refine weapons, talismans, or puppets in the future, he wouldn't have to be too heartbroken about the failed works. Those chicken-like things can all be put into a white "split-quenching" furnace to separate and restore all the materials. If it is really useless, it will be thrown into the "Gathering Spirit" furnace and turned into spirit stones.
Of course, whether it is the use of "split-quenching" or "gathering spirits", about one-third of the material will be swallowed by two furnaces, but compared to the worthless waste of a spirit stone, being able to recycle two-thirds is already a big profit.
Leaving the Yin-Yang Pagoda with great hesitation, Lin Quan came all the way to the most remote corner of the Tai Chi space.
There was a small lonely pavilion there, and he sat down in the pavilion with a flawless appearance, and with a wave of his right hand, a seven-colored light shield wrapped in a blue bare face slowly fell from the top of the pavilion and floated in front of him.
"Senior Cheng, I don't know if you have anything else to say?" After a moment of silence, Lin Quan spoke first.
"Hmph, although the old man was accidentally trapped by you, if you want to get something from the old man's mouth, it is also wishful thinking!" The old face glanced at Lin Quan with disdain when he heard this, and then closed his eyes again with a proud expression. It was as if it was not himself who was trapped at this time, but Lin Quan.
"Hehe, Cheng seniors are really arrogant. In this way, I have to use some means. ”
"Haha, boy, if you have any means, just try it. The old face looked up to the sky and smiled, "Anyway, the old man's soul power can only support for another two hundred years at most, and life and death don't matter to me at all." ”
"Oh, really?"
Lin Quan smiled coldly, in this Tai Chi space, he was almost equal to a true immortal. Although the old face was fearless, he clearly captured the fear, disappointment and regret hidden in his eyes.
As long as he still has regrets in his heart and unfulfilled wishes, then Lin Quan believes that he will have the opportunity to take something out of his mouth. But before that, the necessary means should be tried.
So his mind moved, and a cluster of small seven-colored flames suddenly rose from the seven-colored light mask.
"Hey, Burning Spirit Rainbow!"
This small flame seemed to be weak and weak, but the old face changed greatly at first sight, and he wanted to flee in a hurry like a snake and scorpion. It's just that this colorful light mask is not big, and the small flame touches the old face with a slight beat, and spreads to the whole body with a "hula".
"Ah......h
What kind of spirit flame is this?
Lin Quan muttered to himself. In fact, even he didn't know the name and origin of this flame, and the reason why he could use it was because he suddenly realized it after he advanced to the condensate, and this flame could only be used in the Tai Chi space.
But now it seems that this flame is really in the right place. It seems to be particularly lethal to the soul existence of the old face.
Thinking of this, Lin Quan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and for a moment he really wanted to increase the power of this spiritual flame regardless of it, and directly kill the old face.
The other party is a powerful soul in the merger period, even if the Taiji space can trap him, but the old face does not die for a day, he always feels that his heart will not be stable for a day.
"Little friend, stop, stop quickly, old man...... The old man is willing to make a deal with you!"
The old face also seemed to feel the murderous intent in Lin Quan's heart, and at this time, he could no longer care about his identity, and hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Hmph, I hope what Your Excellency said can satisfy you, otherwise, ......"
Lin Quan hesitated for a moment, but finally withdrew the flame. After all, he also had a lot of questions in his heart, and at the same time, he was also very interested in the Four Spirits Nirvana Dafa and the Four Holy War Armor, which were only available in the upper realm. If possible, he didn't want to give up this rare opportunity.
"Of course, the old man has long known that he can't leave this strange space, as long as Xiaoyou can help the old man achieve a few wishes, no matter what you want to know, the old man will know everything. ”
At this time, the old face finally recognized the facts and calmly talked to Lin Quan.
Of course, Lin Quan will not be polite, and immediately pick something he is interested in and ask questions. However, the old face didn't tell it all, everything was only mentioned slightly, and the rest of the part was determined to wait for Lin Quan to achieve his wish before he said it.
For this old fox who had lived for at least tens of thousands of years, Lin Quan had no choice at all.
After more than half an hour, when he hurriedly asked Ming Lao Mian a few wishes, he resealed it on the top of the small pavilion and left the Tai Chi space with a calm face.
