Chapter 225: Returning Essence and Strengthening Pills, Refining the Body with Earth Fire(1/2)
Painful wails echoed continuously in the alchemy room, making it seem that the alchemy room was not a place for alchemy, but a prison where people were tortured and interrogated, and where felons from the ferocious beasts were imprisoned.
For seven whole days and nights, Yu Lie stayed in the alchemy room, cutting off the limbs of the Shouwu worshiper, almost chopping the opponent's entire body into firewood, and throwing it into the magma pool for burning.
At the end, only a cross-like torso remained above the huge bronze tripod. The old and withered face on it became weaker than ever before, but the look in its eyes was becoming more and more crazy and joyful.
.
"Soon, soon! Pindao's batch of elixirs will be successful!"
Yu Lie was finally free at this time and could take a rest. He leaned against the wall, rubbing his arms while looking up at the huge bronze tripod.
After these days, his arms were sore from chopping wood, especially as he went further back, the body where the Shouwu was enshrined became harder, and even the grass sword made a gap when he cut it.
Fortunately, after cutting the opponent, the golden-red blood splashed out was full of spiritual energy, so he had the idea of not wasting it.
In addition to secretly pocketing part of it, Yu Lie also absorbed it into the grass sword on the spot, and slowly repaired the grass sword, so that he could persevere.
But even so, his two grass swords were already in pieces. As soon as he finished working and removed the spiritual energy attached to them, they immediately broke into pieces.
Yu Lie lowered his head and glanced at the fragments of limbs at his feet, then looked expectantly at the Shouwu enshrinement.
He secretly thought in his heart: "This person is willing to harm his own body to refine this pot of elixir. I wonder what kind of medicine is in it?"
At the moment, Yu Lie has no intention of taking a sip of soup secretly. He still knows a little bit about himself. Such a precious medicine, Shouwu Enshrine will never let him, a little Taoist, have a chance to get involved.
Yu Lie was just curious and wanted to open his eyes and learn more.
But what disappointed Yu Lie was that as the vibrations in the three-story copper cauldron became stronger and stronger, and a strange fragrance filled the alchemy room, the withered human face attached to the copper cauldron turned his gaze towards
Got him.
Shouwu worship makes a sound:
"Taoist disciple, this is enough for refining the elixir. You have worked hard for the past seven days, and you can go down now!"
The other party is now going to blast Yu Lie away.
This made Yu Lie slightly startled, and there was inevitably a look of pity in his eyes.
The only thing that comforted him was that the Shouwu enshrined him and then said: "In three days, come back to the alchemy room, and I will lend you the earth fire for three days."
These words excited Yu Lie. He immediately put away the regretful look in his eyes and bowed his hands towards the face on the bronze tripod:
"Yes, thank you, Taoist Master!"
Previously, Shouwu offered permission to lend the ground fire to Yu Lie and Miaomu, but the time did not specify how many days, so Yulie and Miaomu only imagined one day, and they used it together.
One day.
As a result, as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he gave Yu Lie three days and let him use it alone, which was really an unexpected surprise.
"Three days are enough for me to use the earth's fire, draw fire into my body, and polish my whole body! And staying alone in the alchemy room also makes it easier for me to make other preparations!"
With a feeling of expectation, Yu Lie did not dare to neglect, and after another salute, he respectfully left the alchemy room.
Outside the alchemy room, the situation in the pharmacy remained the same as usual.
The shopkeeper on duty seemed to have no job at all. As soon as Yu Lie came out, the other party immediately jumped out and asked about Yu Lie.
There was a nervous look in the man's eyes, and he hurriedly lowered his voice and asked: "How is it? How is the progress of the Shouwu enshrinement alchemy, is it about to be completed?"
Seeing the appearance of the shopkeeper on duty, Yu Lie suspected that the other party might know what kind of elixir was being enshrined in Shouwu, so he did not hide it.
Yu Lie nodded and answered.
He didn't say much, he just hinted: "The worshiper asked me to come to the pharmacy to use earth fire in three days."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper on duty immediately showed excitement on his face and whispered: "Very good!"
Yu Lie also spoke up and asked: "Brother Taoist, I am a poor Taoist, so I can't recognize which treasure is being enshrined and refined. Brother Taoist, can you tell me?"
The shopkeeper on duty looked around, pondered, and suddenly took out a sound-isolating charm from his hand and whispered: "Fellow Daoist Yu is not an outsider anyway, so I can talk to you."
The spell took effect, wrapping the two people tightly in it. The other party lowered his head and said a few simple words to Yu Lie.
After listening, Yu Lie's eyes showed a look of astonishment, and he thought in his heart: "It's actually this elixir that can restore essence and strengthen the body! No wonder Shouwu was enshrined in the process of refining, and he was so crazy and looking forward to it."
The Essence Rejuvenation and Strengthening Pill is a treasure medicine that can make up for the Taoist's shortcomings. It can repair the Taoist's body and prolong life. I heard that its effect is second only to the Sixth Grade Rejuvenation and Youth Pill, and it is one of the Seventh Grade superior elixirs. There are even rumors.
Ordinary sixth-grade middle-level elixirs cannot compare with it.
This involves the grading of elixirs, which is quite complicated and deserves to be discussed in detail.
Because today's elixir practitioners in the Immortal Way mainly base their rankings on what kind of creatures they can be most effective on, Yu Lie is just getting started and doesn't know much about them.
But now he heard the shopkeeper on duty tell the name of the elixir refined by the Shouwu Enshrinement, and after confirming it a few times from the other person's mouth, he understood that this elixir for restoring essence and strengthening the body was indeed rare and valuable.
The medicinal effect of this elixir may not sound very outstanding, it is quite ordinary, but in actual use, it is rare and valuable.
Because the words "make up for the shortfall" and "prolong life" are superimposed, which means that if an old Taoist priest like Shouwu worships it, he can regain his vitality and have the opportunity to try to break through the seventh level and advance to the sixth level!
Yu Lie exclaimed: "With this opportunity, I will definitely be able to continue my path, and it is very possible to achieve the sixth level in the future!"
The shopkeeper on duty looked excited and looked forward to it. He said:
"The Shouwu worship has been preparing for this medicine for many years. In fact, in terms of medicinal materials, we have almost prepared them early in the morning. The reason why it has not been refined is that in addition to the concerns about the craftsmanship of the medicine, the more important thing is that the worshiper feels that his own medicine
When I have bad luck, I always want to choose a good and auspicious day to start the furnace again."
The other party spoke, glanced at Yu Lie, and smiled in his eyes: "Now I see a Taoist friend coming to the door with the most suitable medicinal introduction of Chizhen Secret Sand. I feel that the Taoist friend's luck is very good, so I just made the decision.
I was determined to start the furnace, and I specially asked fellow Taoists to accompany me."
In the past few days, this person had already learned some of the reasons why Shouwu was so important in the enshrinement process.
Hearing these words, Yu Lie's eyes became strange. He didn't expect that he was regarded as a "mascot" by the other party.
He also secretly pinched his sleeves and whispered in his heart: "Is it because of this that the old guy turned a blind eye to my petty theft in the alchemy room?"
After a few random thoughts, Yu Lie couldn't tell whether it was true or false, so he didn't bother to think about it anymore.
After continuing to chat with the shopkeeper on duty for a while, he left the pharmacy and rushed to his sister-in-law's cage.
When we returned to the cage house, the house was still empty.
But the note that Yu Lie had left in the cage house had disappeared, and the entire house had been cleaned up. Its appearance had changed drastically, completely different from the previous layout and messy scene.
After Yu Lie entered the door, he thought he had entered the wrong house.
He walked around the house a few times, thinking in his mind: "This is a direct redecoration. Does it count as walking out?"
It's a pity that the sister-in-law is still not in the cage house, leaving only a fresh fragrance that fills the house, making Yu Lie feel like he is in a lightly cooked wheat field.
There was no one in the house, so Yu Lie continued to enjoy the spiritual energy in the house alone, and he was very happy.
Taking advantage of the layout of the house, Yu Lie cleaned up quickly and released the myna who had been locked in the piglet bag for many days to let him breathe.
At this point, one person and one bird stayed in this unfamiliar cage house and began daily practice.
After three days, Yu Lie unexpectedly discovered that just by being close to Earth Fire and refining the elixir for seven days and seven nights, the originally impetuous Qi in his body had already been polished to a certain extent.
After thinking carefully about the reason, he realized that since he had not rested much for seven days and seven nights, he had been using spells, and it was also because he was close to the ground fire and the firepower penetrated into his body.
The latter undoubtedly made Yu Lie full of expectations for the "Earth Fire Body Refining" line.
So he rested in the cage for three days. When the time came, he couldn't wait to rush to the pharmacy to start his journey of earth fire body refining!
………………
After coming to the pharmacy again and meeting with the shopkeeper and others on duty, Yu Lie did not see Shouwu worshiping again.
However, the other party had already vacated the alchemy room and ordered the people in the pharmacy to allow Yu Lie to enter and stay there for three days. This proved that the other party's alchemy was indeed successful and there was no mistake in the last step.
When Yu Lie entered the Earth Fire Alchemy Room, the tall copper tripod that was originally placed in the magma pool had disappeared, and the layers of iron chains had also disappeared. Only the nine gold and iron dragon heads that breathed fire were still there.
It continuously spits out red-red magma.
With the heavy stone door closed, there was only one person left in the Earth Fire Alchemy Room, making it look even more empty.
Surrounded by a thick stone door and formations, even if a sixth-grade Taoist priest came from outside, they would not be able to pry open the alchemy room for a while, let alone watch and eavesdrop.
However, being cautious, Yu Lie's first step after closing the door was to walk around the corner of the alchemy room and put up a talisman every ten feet to block out prying eyes and serve as a warning.
Once the true energy or spiritual consciousness of an outsider invades, these spells will spontaneously ignite and take effect.
In addition, Yu Lie walked to the edge of the fire pool and set up the tent that he had obtained from killing the old man named Ye last time.
After performing the "Tent Setup Technique", he walked to the blood vessel tent, took out another talisman with a painful look on his face, and turned it into a thick mist that filled the tent.
This is the seventh-grade talisman that Yu Lie spent a lot of money to buy in the Tao City. Its effect is enough to block the spiritual prying eyes of the sixth-grade Taoist priests. Of course, it can only block the secret prying eyes of the sixth-grade Taoist priests. If the other party insists on looking,
It can only serve as a reminder to the user, with a delay of only a few breaths.
However, this is enough for Yu Lie, and this charm is better than ordinary. Its effect is no different from ordinary confusion charms in terms of appearance, and it will not attract the attention of others.
.
After preparing these, Yu Lie just sat down cross-legged and began his journey of refining his body with earth fire!
His next move was not to put himself into the magma and swallow the fire in the pool. Instead, he took out a few special talisman from his sleeves and arranged them according to the rules of the Nine Palaces and Bagua.
Near the nine dragon heads, three spiritual stones were placed on each talisman.
In just three days, it is impossible for a Taoist disciple to polish off nearly ten years of Qi. It is impossible for any Taoist disciple.
