Between life and death, there was no time to curse Zhang Qian's intentions for being vicious, so he could only close his eyes and wait for death.

Xu Zhao's thoughts were all gone, or now his mind was purely blank, and his whole body was cold and numb, except for the fishy smell that filled his nasal cavity, he couldn't feel anything, and then he heard a loud noise, as if something heavy had fallen in front of him, and the ground under his feet was trembling slightly, and the expected pain had not appeared on his body for a long time, and his chest gradually regained its warmth, and his fingertips trembled.

He slowly opened his eyes, as if a day and a night had passed.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, and he didn't know whether he was laughing or crying, it seemed to be the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

Then, as his eyes gradually became accustomed to the darkness of the hall, a strong shock surged into his heart, and the flattened and hideous body of the hooked snake lay at his feet, and the black-glowing tail thorns were even less than half a foot from the tips of his feet, deep in the masonry, but there was no movement.

The huge body of the hooked snake was smashed by the waist, as if it was injured with a red-hot giant hammer, the broken place was charred black, and the bony scale armor was still glowing with a little red light, like unburned charcoal, just in the previous moment, a hooked snake that was out of trouble was tragically killed, Xu Zhao's mind was like a paste as always, he didn't know what was going on, and slowly turned his gaze and landed on the wheezing figure in the dark.

Zhang Qian curled up in order to make his breathing easier.

A golden-orange light on the fist of his right fist lingered, like a morning light on the surface of the river that was about to pierce the darkness.

Xu Zhao's eyes were dry, he kept swallowing saliva, and muttered to himself: "Fire, gather fire!"

The beating light gradually disappeared from the surface of the fist, Zhang Qian's tired expression was hidden by the darkness again, and now he has only cultivated the fire gathering technique to the realm of gathering fire into clouds, and there is still a distance from gathering fire into a cloud, but in this cage, with the help of the Earth Fire Burning God Array, he can barely do it, but the consumption of power is too terrifying, just a fire brake, and it only exists for a moment, and it consumes as much as seventy percent of the essence in the sea of qi.

Consuming such a Yuan Essence in a short period of time, even he felt extremely difficult.

This is why to cast a powerful spell, it must be supported by a high realm.

Maybe the Yuan Essence in your body is enough for a spell consumption, but you can't exhaust all the Yuan Essence in your body at one time, just like Ding Zhuang unloading goods on the dock, countless times a day, may move tens of thousands of catties of goods, but if you ask him to empty a boat at a time, this is unlikely, and the same is true for cultivators, such an almost crazy consumption of Yuan Essence, the sea of qi will be overwhelmed and will burst, and there is only a dead end.

However, Zhang Qian just felt a little unbearable, he cultivated the Dao Yuan technique, and the Qi Sea barrier was strong, so it was not so easy to be damaged.

If you change to a person with the same realm as him, the attainment of the fire gathering technique is also as high as him, and it is still impossible to condense the fire shatter by relying on this earth fire burning god array, because the body can't bear this kind of consumption at all, and it can also be seen how amazing this fire gathering is a realm, not only to have a high realm as a support, but also to have a very high attainment in spells, except for the peak master up and down the Flame Hell Peak, Xu Zhao has never seen the second one.

Countless thoughts surged out of Xu Zhao's mushy brain for a moment, forming an almost sublime awe for Zhang Qian.

"The bet is right, the bet is right, this dive is really unfathomable, no wonder the name of the first seat is so frivolous, but now this person is my backer, and then who dares to disrespect me up and down this Flame Hell Peak. Xu Zhao's heart was ecstatic, tears welled up in his dry eyes, and he was a little out of shape for a while.

Zhang Qian glanced at him without being salty, and didn't care about this trivial and boring thing, he gently touched the body of the hooked snake with his foot, and there was still no movement, it turned out to be dead, this ancient beast has tenacious vitality, especially snakes are difficult to kill even if the body is broken into a few pieces, and hitting the snake seven inches is just a joke.

This hooked snake lives in the river all the year round, and feeds on the fierce beasts on the shore with its tail thorn hook, and its nature is water, and it is invaded by the fire poison of the earth's lungs, and it is naturally killed.

He had already thought of a strategy against the enemy along the way, although this ancient beast was strong, but its wisdom was not high, and it would not use that strange spell power, calculate it in advance, and with the help of the Earth Fire Burning God Array, it was not difficult to kill it, the last time he fought in a hurry, and his strength was far inferior to now, he could also kill Han Zhao, Zhang Qian did not lack courage in his heart, he was in a peaceful mood at this time, and moved his eyes to Xu Zhao.

If he hadn't attracted the attention of the hooked snake, his all-out blow might not have succeeded, and it would have cost him some money to kill the worm.

"I still need your alchemy, so naturally I won't let you die like this. Zhang Qian glanced at him, then took out a bottle of Gu Shou Dan from the dust space and threw it over, saying: "This is a reward for you, I have clear grievances, so naturally I won't let you be frightened in vain." ”

Xu Zhao raised his hand again and again, wiped the cold sweat on his head, and almost didn't catch the thing thrown by Zhang Qian, he didn't see the appearance clearly, and when he fell into his hand, his expression suddenly changed, and he excused himself again and again: "Senior brother, this thing is too valuable, I can't afford it, and I don't have any strength to kill this hooked snake." ”

To be honest, Mo said that throwing it away is a bottle, it is a grain, and he Xu Zhao doesn't dare to take it.

Although he is greedy, he knows what he can and what he can't.

The things in Zhang Qian's hands belong to the kind of category that must not be touched by reaching out, and Lu Yang is a lesson from the past.

"You helped me with alchemy before, it was to repay me for not killing, but if you want to continue to help me with alchemy in the future, it is a favor I owe you, these things are rewards, of course, if you don't do well, since I can give these things out, I will definitely be able to get them back, with interest. Zhang Qian's expression was gentle and calm, as if he was saying something that should be done, and he didn't feel that this was a disguised threat at all, but a fair deal.

Xu Zhao trembled and held the jade bottle in his arms, not daring to say more.

Zhang Qian took out an ordinary ring knife from the dust cave and threw it to Xu Zhao, and said, "This hooked snake is dead, you go and take off its snake gall, and call me when it's ready." "Don't care about it, take a pill of Gushou Pill and start to restore the Yuan Essence consumed in the body, it took a full hour before I opened my eyes, the Yuan Essence consumed in the body has been replenished, and even increased compared to before, and I secretly admired in my heart, the effect of this Gushou Pill is extraordinary.

At this time, Xu Zhao had already disassembled the body of the hooked snake, the snake gallbladder was taken out, and those useless internal organs were also hollowed out, and the blood was cleaned.

The steel forged ring knife had already become a pile of scrap iron, Xu Zhao's head was scattered, his face was covered with blood stains, and he looked out of breath, obviously it took him a lot of means to disassemble the body of the hooked snake, Zhang Qian gave him a reward, naturally there was no need to say thank you, waved his hand and put the body of the hooked snake into the dust cave, and then asked him: "Have you ever taken out the snake gall?"

"It has already been dealt with, and when I saw that my junior brother was settled, I didn't dare to call each other. Xu Zhao nodded.

Zhang Qian got up and flicked the dust on his body, and then walked out of the Fan Cage Hall, returned to the study with Xu Zhao, and immediately did not delay, dispersed the surrounding Daotong disciples, and opened the ban on the side hall to prevent anyone from disturbing him, and then started refining the Hengdu Dan, afraid that Xu Zhao's strength was not good, and he couldn't control the fire, so he kept guarding the side of the Dan furnace and never left half a step, and he also found that this alchemy was also an extremely energy-consuming thing.

Each herb must be treated by the special envoy, which, according to Xu Zhao, is conducive to removing impurities and toxicity from the original drug.

This process alone took six or seven days before all the medicinal herbs could be put into the furnace.

The next is to refine and warm day and night, the whole process has strict requirements for the furnace fire, beginners do not know the essence of it, a little through one or two to open the furnace alchemy, the technique of controlling the furnace fire is extremely rough, the success rate is less than one-tenth, and the impurities in the Dan are not removed.

Unlike this Xu Zhao, the fire is controlled like a woman's hands, gently caressing and rubbing the wall of the furnace, which looks full of charm.

And in the process of alchemy, Xu Zhao also seemed to have changed as a person.

Just like the little novice chanting in front of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, he was extremely pious and serious, Zhang Qianqian waited for a day or two, and gradually felt bored, so he ignored him and began to practice.

It took 14 days to see smoke rising from the Dan furnace.
