Chapter 9 Quenching
This small hole is very strange, the size inside it is the same, after climbing out of about ten zhang away, Su Ming saw the end in front of him, and his movements slowed down.
Cautiously, he gradually approached the exit, and at a glance, he was stunned for a moment, and then took a deep breath.
This is a fire cave, countless cone-shaped stones hang upside down on it, the skin is dry and cracked, as if it can be broken at any time, the ground is pitch black, but there are red rocks scattered, reflecting this place in the brown, the heat is several times stronger than the outside.
Not far away, there was a pitch-black skeleton, which was about ** zhang long, which made Su Ming recognize at a glance that this should be the bone of a python.
On the skull of the python, there was also an arm-thick bony horn, which was also pitch black.
Such a long python is something Su Ming has never seen, but he has faintly heard Ah Gong say that there is a kind of python beast on this Oolong Mountain very early on, which is extremely ferocious, this python has horns on its head, which is called a horned python, and the sharpness of that horn can often become a treasure in the tribe.
In their Wushan department, there is a horned python's bone horn, which is inherited by the patriarchs of the past generations.
"Could it be a horned python?" he looked at the python's bones, then at the small hole he was in, and had a faint answer.
In the midst of a deep groan, Su Ming took out a leaf of herbs from the basket behind him and threw it down.
The herb fell suddenly, and when it touched the ground, it made a sizzling sound, and after about a quarter of an hour, slowly withered. He then tried a few more times, and finally settled on the heat of the ground, and although it wasn't weak, he could withstand some time, as long as he didn't touch the red rocks.
At this moment, Xiaohong was already impatient, if she hadn't known the danger here, she would have jumped out a long time ago.
Su Ming cautiously climbed out, jumped down, stepped on the ground, and immediately there was a sound of sizzling from his feet, and a stream of hot air spread all over his body along the soles of his feet, but it would not burn the soles of his feet for a short time.
After Xiaohong entered this fire cave, she immediately sweated profusely, and after thinking for a long time, she returned to the small cave, saying that she would not come in, but left in a flash, not only running where to play.
Su Ming didn't persuade, but walked forward quickly with the basket on his back, he could guess that this place should be figured out with the inside of this Black Flame Peak, and maybe there would be a suitable place for quenching.
After walking a short distance, there was an empty space ahead, I don't know where it leads, there are some potholes on the ground, the heat is a lot thicker here, and even Su Ming has already felt the scorching heat under his feet.
He hesitated slightly, and the moment he raised his footsteps and was about to fall, a sudden heat wave suddenly exploded, causing Su Ming to exclaim and retreat again and again, the pupils of his eyes contracted, and he saw an arm-thick flame burst out from a pothole in the ground in front of him, instantly reflecting the cave in the firelight.
Su Ming took a deep breath and retreated again, until he pushed to the entrance of the cave, then he looked intently, this look was half an hour, and the flame gradually dissipated, but it didn't take long for another pothole to burst out again.
Cycle after cycle, on and on each other.
"Fire ......" Su Ming stared at those potholes, his eyes slowly revealing a bright light, and he was even more surprised.
"There is really a fire here!, however, it is an intermittent appearance, not the kind of stable ......" After Su Ming's surprise, he pondered for a moment, faintly feeling pity,
"Well, while it may be possible to find a better place to go directly into the interior of this mountain from the top, it is better to be hidden here, and if there is danger, I can leave quickly.
Then for the time being, this place will be the first quenching hole in my life!" Su Ming looked excited, and looked around again in a mutter.
"There is fire, but there is still a lack of a wilderness...... I can make one myself!" Su Ming's gaze fell on the scattered stones on the ground.
"These rocks have not been incinerated into ashes in this place for so many years, they are obviously extremely heat-resistant, and they should be able to be quenched......" Su Ming scratched his head, changed the herbs under his feet, jumped down again, chose a large stone that looked more suitable, and touched it after hesitating, but it didn't feel too hot, just warm.
Determined to use this boulder as a material, Su Ming took out his medicine knife, this knife is very sharp, he often takes it out to polish, holding this knife, Su Ming used all his strength to cut towards the stone.
This is a boring process, but Su Ming has long been used to it, and he is not impatient at all, but in the middle of the slash, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and looked at the bones of the python not far away, especially the black horn on its skull.
After a little groaning, Su Ming walked quickly, looked at the sound near the skull, and knocked on the python bone, and under this knock, only the sound of the noise was heard, and the main and auxiliary bones immediately became fragments and scattered all over the ground.
In the fragment, there was only a black bone horn, which was not shattered.
"This horn is really extraordinary, I was wondering how the python got in. Su Ming picked up the bone horn and scratched it on the wall on the side, immediately marking a gap, this scene did not surprise Su Ming.
"I just don't know why this horned python had to get in from the outside back then......" Su Ming couldn't understand, so he walked to the boulder with the bone horn and cut it down.
With the help of this corner, after a few hours, a quenched stone furnace that was five or six points similar to the desolate ding in Su Ming's memory took shape, and even Su Ming made an extra lid, so as to keep the heat in this desolate ding from dissipating.
"Try it first. Su Ming looked excited, pushed the desolate tripod to those potholed places, pressed his mind, and waited slowly.
After a few more hours, under the flames again and again, flames finally burst out in a pothole in front of Su Ming near him.
Almost the moment the flames burst out, Su Ming violently pushed the quenching stone furnace, making this desolate cover the pothole that burst out of the flames.
Su Ming looked nervous, whether he could be quenched or not depends on whether this desolate ding can withstand the high temperature.
Soon, the stone furnace turned red, the heat wave dispersed, and the sound of clicking echoed, but seeing a large number of cracks on its surface, Su Ming sighed in his heart, but he didn't see the stone crack after waiting for half a sound, and then he slowly put his mind at ease.
"An hour...... There is only an hour of time for each quenching, which should not be enough......" Su Minglu pondered, he could be said to have put a lot of effort into quenching.
"You can do this!" Su Ming took a few steps back, although he had an idea in his mind, he didn't act rashly, but stood in a place where the ground was not too sour and too hot, looking at those potholes intently, this look was a whole day.
During this time, the little monkey came, and after thinking that it was too hot, he left some wild fruits and ran out to play again.
As for the desolate stone, it has also withstood the test, and it has never broken in the impact of several flames.
"The flames of these small holes in the ground, there are some rules, but there are no rules......" A day later, Su Ming took the bone horn, his body shook out, and he came to those potholes, and quickly opened a ravine in the ground, connecting one of the small holes in the pot with the bottom of the desolate ding.
He did not pause, and after six strokes in a row, he quickly retreated, and in a short time, when flames erupted from one of the small holes in the pothole, it was evident that it had been diverted a lot down the ravine of the ground and poured under the furnace.
"It's done!" Su Ming watched for a while, looked for a gap and drew five ravines again, continued to observe for a whole day, and determined that his method was a large-scale extension of the furnace fire, and then he was relieved.
In fact, he also hesitated, the lines and connections of these ravines are not drawn randomly, and the flames of the place where the desolate ding is located must not be too large or too little, otherwise it is easy to have abnormalities.
After all, in his observations, there were several times when several potholes burst into flames at the same time, and once the connection was wrong, I was afraid that it would be dangerous.
After solving these two most basic problems, Su Ming calmed down, and according to the scenes in his memory, in this Black Flame Peak, he began his first quenching in this life.
The food eaten is solved by a little monkey, or Su Ming went out to hunt some small beasts, dragged here directly to a fire, roasted and eaten. There is also a matter about the grandfather of the Black Mountain Department, Su Ming also met the hunting team in his own tribe when he went out hunting during this period and informed him of this.
Time passed day by day, this belonged to his quenching place, sometimes there would be a voice of annoyance, half a month, Su Ming's eyes were already red, in the past half a month, he had refined countless times, but none of them succeeded!
He is now at the first level of the Blood Clotting Realm in terms of cultivation, and with four blood lines, as long as he can have two more, he can step into the second layer of the Blood Clotting Realm.
Once he reached the second layer, in the Brute Statue Inheritance obtained by Su Ming, he could cast the first brute technique!
This is what Su Ming dreamed of, and it was also the source of power for him to continue refining medicinal stones.
But the current failure of this month has made Su Ming almost disheartened, but the stubbornness in his bones makes him unwilling to give up like this.
"I don't believe it!Xiaohong, help me collect medicine again!" Su Ming muttered and threw the basket at the little monkey grinning at the entrance of the cave, and continued to refine.
The little monkey caught the basket, grinned, turned and ran out.
One day, one day, one day......
Failure, failure, failure......
Until another half a month passed, in the afternoon of this day, Su Ming stood in front of the barren ding, holding two herbs in his hands, both of which were red, one with six petals and one with five petals.
"Which ...... should I use" Su Ming knew that he didn't have much time to think, so he gritted his teeth.

Seeking demons should be a slow-burning book, with large chapters, and if you can't do it, you will be full of passion...... The beginning of the immortal rebellion is even more bland, this may be the style, and it can't be changed.
Watch patiently, and you will not disappoint your fellow Daoists, this is the guarantee of the root of the ear.
Carefully taste the title of the first volume of Yipin, and then think about the title of the book, you will realize that if life is only as it first sees, sometimes it is not just about emotions......
It was a kind of emotion, a kind of afterlife, a moment later, a complex inner ...... If we look back at ourselves many years ago, how would we feel......

Taste slowly, look slowly...... And I'm writing slowly......
