Chapter 270 Strange Fire
Chapter 270 Strange Fire
Alchemy room.
"Wang Qiye, this is too expensive. I can't accept it." Yan Mengwan declined the fifth-level alchemy furnace.
Wang Qiye was quite helpless with her. "Senior Sister Yan, this furnace is only worth 50 spirit stones at most, and the price is even lower in the black market. Look at Duanmu Lan, she took away all the valuables, and she still hasn't paid off the debt she owes me. How can I give you this fourth-level furnace?"
Duanmu Lan was kicked by Wang Qiye and finally spoke up. "You can use it first, and return it if it doesn't work. We are now using a fifth-level alchemy furnace to make pills. If you don't use it, the information gap in this area is still quite large. When we discuss it, the gap will be too big."
Yan Mengwan thought about it and realized that it was true, so she could only nod and agree helplessly. "I'll return it to you later."
Wang Qiye felt a sense of loss for no apparent reason, and felt that he and Yan Mengwan had become somewhat estranged. He was powerless and could only sigh. He already had two wives, but he was still thinking about what was in the bowl. He didn't know if this was right.
Only then did Yan Mengwan put the fifth-level alchemy furnace on her body into the storage bag.
She had sent a letter home, saying that she would soon start preparing to refine the fourth-level elixir.
My family was very happy and wrote back to say that they had already contacted and negotiated for a fourth-order alchemy furnace, which was on the way, along with 30 spirit stones.
Even though she was so proud, she still bowed her head in front of Wang Qiye today, and her last bit of persistence was ruthlessly crushed.
30 spirit stones are indeed a lot. 9 spirit stones can be used to buy six second-hand fourth-order alchemy furnaces in the contract market, and the remaining 21 spirit stones are saved from the bulk of the money. After using this as the biggest stepping stone to become an apprentice, I can spend it as I please.
However, the letter also said that the person who escorted the furnace this time was the thirteenth son of the Domain Lord, Hao Jing. He was studying at Qinglian Peak, a handsome man, and now he had the strength of a golden elixir. He happened to be going home to visit his relatives. When he passed by the mansion to visit, he heard about this and helped to deliver it.
"Has the Territory Lord finally remembered this Great Alchemist?"
Yan Mengwan felt somewhat aching and painful in her heart. Now it seemed that her relationship with Wang Qiye had taken a step further, but the two of them were now more respectful to each other.
Even Duanmu Lan dared to act in front of Lei Siyu, not to mention how dirty and filthy they were when they were alone together.
In the Four Regions, her status was respectable enough. But when she came to the mountain, she couldn't even compare to Duanmu Lan, let alone Lei Siyu and Hu Mingyue, two proud daughters of heaven.
It seems that it started when Wang Qiye married two wives. Since then, he has been unable to take care of himself. Although he is willing to give himself a little from time to time, it is only that little. That may be what he wants, but it is not what I want. I am not very greedy, but that little is really not enough.
Perhaps Hao Jing is the best destination for me.
Duanmu Lan shook the video ball in his hand. "Shall we start watching the fourth-level pill refining video?"
Only then did Yan Mengwan collect her thoughts and nodded slightly.
Wang Qiye looked at the strange female cultivator beside Yan Mengwan and asked, "Should we hire another pyrotechnician? Ye Lingxi can't handle it anymore, and Senior Sister Yan hired another one."
He was about to start refining the fourth-level elixir, and he didn't want to mess it up over these little things.
Duanmu Lan said confidently. "No need, Chuntao is the one who possesses the Dan Fire. She is just at a low level now. When she advances to a higher level, you will be able to feel it."
"Is it true?" Wang Qiye exclaimed in surprise and looked at Chuntao curiously.
The strange fire is a magical power that only cultivators with fire spiritual roots can possess. He can only envy it in this life.
Alchemists usually use underground fire to make pills. The higher the level of the pill, the stronger the requirement for underground fire. Even better than underground fire is strange fire. Using strange fire to make pills can not only increase the success rate of the pill, but also is not restricted by the terrain. You can make pills wherever you want.
But not every kind of strange fire is suitable for alchemy. Only those strange fires with mild temperament, which only release temperature energy but do not spread their own form energy to the outside, are suitable for alchemy.
Over time, alchemists have come to know this kind of special fire that is helpful for alchemy and can improve their alchemy skills, which is collectively called Dan Fire.
Dan fire is still very common, but it is also divided into innate and acquired. Basically 50% of alchemists can cultivate Dan fire. After all, they are people who deal with alchemy furnaces all day long, and they have some worldly air. But there are still some differences between innate Dan fire and acquired Dan fire, but it seems that the difference is not very big.
Chuntao blushed and nodded shyly, which was considered an admission.
In this way, Wang Qiye felt relieved. After all, all strange fires were the favorites of fire, and these sixteen alchemy furnaces were still easy for her.
But he still sighed. "Ah, I don't know whether Chun Tao is lucky or unlucky to follow Duanmu Lan, her master. Duanmu Lan's brain is sometimes a little abnormal."
The group went to Yan Mengwan's new home, a ground-level alchemy room. The ground fire in the human-level alchemy room was no longer suitable for refining fourth-level pills.
There were many empty rooms in her house, so they randomly found an empty room and used it to project the movie balls.
"It's time to begin." Duanmu Lan said, threw the shadow ball into the air, and stretched out his hand to make a spell.
The shadow ball vibrated and began to emit black light, looking particularly creepy.
When the outer shell fell off, a ghostly silhouette of a soul was revealed in front of everyone, which looked even more creepy.
In the picture, a ghostly female cultivator with a proud look on her face came to an empty alchemy furnace and began to refine a furnace of fourth-level pills.
Although the whole scene is weird, the refining process and techniques are indeed quite skillful.
"It's the Qingling Pill." Duanmu Lan recognized the herbs placed next to her. They were exactly the ones listed on the Qingling Pill recipe.
Duanmu Lan started to explain again. "This furnace should have been customized by someone. Qingling Pill is a kind of pill that needs to be taken when one fails to break through the realm. It is used to stabilize one's damaged memory."
While Duanmu Lan was speaking, the ghost image continued to play.
She started to "start the furnace" as if no one was around, and then did the daily control of the temperature, and the "maintenance" in each time period, all of which were done flawlessly. Finally, the pills were ready, and half of the pills in that furnace were top-grade pills.
"She is indeed qualified to be proud of herself. If she were still alive, I believe she would be trying to refine a fifth-tier elixir right now, right?" Wang Qiye murmured to himself.
After this video was played, this fragment of her soul could no longer be maintained and began to suddenly shatter, like a piece of rag, being torn into strips.
Without waiting for her to dissipate, Wang Qiye retracted his hand and the soul had already fallen into his hand and was rolled into a ball. Wang Qiye put it towards Dahei, and the soul ball passed through Wang Qiye's clothes and was swallowed into the mouth of the hibernating Dahei in one breath.
"Shall we put one down?" Duanmu Lan said, and took out another photo ball.
Wang Qiye waved his hand to stop her. "Wait a moment, let me take a break."
At this moment, his face was a little pale, but Duanmu Lan and Yan Mengwan were fine. Even the three pyrotechnic girls looked normal and composed.
Wang Qiye laughed at himself. "Am I the only abnormal person?"
"Come and have some tea." Yan Mengwan took out the tea set and greeted him.
Duanmu Lan nodded. "It's a good opportunity for us to discuss the furnace of Qinglingdan just now."
Duanmu Lan and Yan Mengwan were communicating throughout the whole process. Wang Qiye did not say a word and drank tea one cup after another.
In his heart, he was still thinking about the proud woman and the confident and calm expression on her face. He even thought about how she would raise her little face stubbornly and refuse to give in when facing the cruel oppression of the black market, blooming her last beauty.
However, a pot of tea will eventually be finished. Wang Qiye put down the teacup and looked at the newly played ghost video.
"This alchemist is refining the Qi Gathering Pill." Duanmu Lan explained from the side.
No wonder he felt that those herbs were familiar. It turned out that they were the same kind of elixir that Master Gongsun had made in the video that had just been shown a few days ago. Wang Qiye perked up. He also wanted to see how big the gap was between an ordinary alchemist and a genius.
There is a man in the picture, who is rather thin. It can be seen that this is not the first time he has refined the fourth-grade Qi Gathering Pill, and his technique does not seem unfamiliar.
It was just that Gongsun Ousui was one of the five most accomplished alchemists in this world, and the three of them had a deep impression of him. Looking at the works made by this thin man, he seemed a bit clumsy, but it was precisely because of this that Wang Qiye could see the insurmountable gap between the genius and the ordinary alchemist.
It was three hours later when we finished watching this video. We had lunch first before we continued to show the rest of the video.
It took a total of two days to release all ten photo balls.
The three of them also had a clear understanding of the refining of the fourth-grade elixir.
Just as the dandy second-generation Yuanying said, after watching the fourth-level elixir being refined many times, he could imitate a pig and walk a few steps.
After watching so many refining videos, Wang Qiye and Yan Mengwan have become more confident about refining this fourth-grade elixir.
Duanmu Lan benefited even more this time. She had already mastered the methods of refining eight fourth-level elixirs. This time she watched the videos of refining ten fourth-level elixirs. Although half of them overlapped with what she had mastered, the different refining techniques also strengthened her skills, and her alchemy skills improved again.
Although the refining methods of these ten fourth-level elixirs are different, there is no need to copy them. You just need to learn from them. After all, everyone's style is different.
By learning from each other's strengths and making up for their weaknesses, after absorbing the essence of the ten videos, the three of them have figured out their own set of techniques and are just waiting to start testing them tomorrow.
