Concealing his figure and aura, Zhi Lingqi sneaked into the valley quietly. Logically speaking, with Zhi Lingqi's current strength, he didn't need to be so cautious at this time, but this time he returned to the cave underground in the valley, not just for fun and experience, no.
Afraid of interruption.
Now I sneak back here, but in order to secretly collect fire crystal sand, what is the fire crystal sand? It is the best refining material that is rarely seen in ten thousand years. Once the news is leaked, even if there are no humans here, even monsters will
They gathered in groups to rob.
Although with his current strength, he is indeed not afraid of the strongest monsters in this green valley, but once all the monsters attack in groups, it will be a situation that Zhi Lingqi simply does not dare to face.
At that time, not only will the fire crystal sand be unable to be collected, but it is also entirely possible that the beasts will regard it as an enemy and be attacked and driven out of the area where the beasts are located without gaining anything. Zhi Lingqi does not want to not eat the mutton, but also make a fuss and make a muffled noise.
Making a fortune is his consistent style.
After carefully looking around the valley and confirming that there were no monsters or humans, Zhi Lingqi came to the lowest point in the valley. When he came to the entrance of the underground cave, he once again confirmed that there was nothing unusual around him.
After that, he carefully used his hands to push aside the vines covering the entrance of the cave, and used his celestial vision to explore inside the cave.
He was still convinced of the ability of his Heavenly Eye. He investigated the situation in the cave in detail and confirmed that everything in the cave was still the same. Only then did Lingqi feel completely relieved. Then he still entered the cave entrance with his feet first and walked towards the cave entrance.
Drill in.
When the head is almost all the way into the hole, he stretches out his hands outside the hole, gently pulls the vines that were previously covered by the hole, completely reset the vines to cover the hole, and then drills through the narrow hole four to five meters deep.
, enter the spacious cave inside.
After entering the cave, Zhi Lingqi couldn't restrain his excitement. He immediately took out his mountain chiseling ax, walked to the cave wall, casually chopped off a small piece of fire crystal sand rock, and smashed it into particles for observation and detection.
Through observation, it was found that the content of fire crystal sand in the rocks is very small, and the volume of the fire crystal sand is also very small, so small that it cannot be discovered with ordinary spiritual consciousness. If Zhi Lingqi did not have the function of celestial eye consciousness, the same
It can't be detected either.
Although the content of fire crystal sand in the rock is very small, the distribution is quite even, and it is basically fused with the rock. There is a feeling that there is me in you, and you in me are inseparable from each other.
Zhi Lingqi used a mountain chiseling ax to crush the rock particles again, and injected spiritual energy into the mountain chisel ax to grind the particles into powder. After Zhi Lingqi detected it again, he found that even if he used his celestial vision, he could not crush the fire crystal sand.
Separated from rock powder.
Of course, due to the extremely small size of the fire crystal sand, it is even more impossible to collect it with both hands. If it is collected together with the rock powder, there will be too many impurities that cannot be integrated into the weapon, thus losing the meaning of collection.
Originally, Zhi Lingqi was very confident in the ability of his heavenly eye consciousness, but now he is powerless, so he thought of using high-temperature smelting method. He wanted to use the different melting point differences of the two substances to melt and separate them, and then collect them.
It can be imagined that since the fire crystal sand is a derivative of the fire source spirit among the chaos source spirits, its melting point must be much higher than the melting point of the rocks here. It should be feasible to use high-temperature smelting to melt and separate it.
method.
When Zhi Lingqi was about to take out the alchemy furnace, he suddenly thought that it would definitely not be possible to use the alchemy furnace for smelting. As for the high temperature resistance of the alchemy furnace, it could not meet the requirements for melting the rock powder. Don't let the rock powder melt by then, and the alchemy furnace would have already melted.
He melted it first, otherwise it would be an unjust waste of an alchemy furnace. He shook his head, and even Lingqi felt speechless because of his own dementia.
He took out a bunch of cauldrons from the small space of Qihai. He used his heavenly vision to explore all the cauldrons. Based on his knowledge and feeling of the material of each cauldron, he selected one that he thought should be good.
The black furnace serves as the cauldron for this smelting.
After placing the black cauldron and putting away the other cauldrons, Zhi Lingqi took out a small pile of about 20 kilograms of Fire Yun Stone from the small space of the Qi Sea, and grabbed about a dozen egg-sized pieces.
The fire-containing stone was conveniently put into the combustion chamber of the cauldron.
He walked up to the cave wall with a mountain-cutting ax in hand, and chopped off a large piece of fire crystal sand rock of about thirty kilograms. In order to speed up the melting of the rock, Zhi Lingqi injected spiritual energy into the mountain-cutting ax and began to break it.
, pound and grind rocks containing fire crystal sand.
The rock is quite hard. It took nearly an hour of hard work to gradually crush and grind more than 30 kilograms of rock into powder. After collecting the rock powder and pouring it into the cauldron, Lingqi ignited the combustion chamber of the cauldron.
The fire contained stone inside.
Looking at the blazing flames of the Huoyun Stone, Zhi Lingqi had nothing else to do for the time being. He could only stand aside and watch the Huoyun Stone burn quietly, silently waiting for the temperature of the cauldron to rise, and keeping an eye on the fire contained in the cauldron at all times.
Changes in crystalline sand rock powder.
As time went on, the temperature of the cauldron body and the inside and outside of the cauldron increased rapidly. In about a quarter of an hour, the cauldron began to change color, gradually turning from dark cherry red to bright red, and heat waves spread outward in waves.
.
Affected by the high temperature of at least 2,000 degrees Celsius, standing in front of the cauldron, less than one meter away from the cauldron to Lingqi, I couldn't help but take two big steps back to put some distance between myself and the cauldron.
,
The diameter of the cauldron is estimated to be about two feet, and the height of the cauldron is about one foot and a half. Such a large cauldron can be heated to a high temperature of more than 2,000 degrees. Even if it is one meter away, its temperature may reach
Above 100 degrees.
This was a temperature that ordinary people simply did not dare to bear, so he had to take two big steps back. Even though the distance between Lingqi and the cauldron was now more than two meters, the temperature around his soul was still over sixty degrees.
For ordinary people, even a temperature of forty degrees would be unbearable. Only those with the cultivation skills of Zhi Lingqi in the late stage of the Spiritual Movement Realm can barely bear the temperature of sixty degrees.
After widening the distance between him and the cauldron, he was no longer able to use his eyes to directly observe the changes in the fire crystal sand and rock powder in the cauldron. For this reason, Zhi Lingqi opened his celestial eye in time and used his celestial eye.
Monitor closely the changes in conditions in the furnace.
Half an hour later, the fire crystal sand rock powder in the cauldron also began to change, gradually turning into a dark cherry red, but it is still unknown how long it will take to melt. According to Zhi Lingqi's experience, if you want to melt solid matter, generally
At least it must exceed bright red. Only after reaching bright color can it enter a molten state and then melt and turn into a liquid.
More than an hour has passed since the fire stone was ignited. The color of the fire crystal sand stone powder increased with the temperature of the furnace. After it turned to bright red, it stopped changing. When Lingqi turned to look at the cauldron, he found that the cauldron was
The furnace body has already taken on a bright color.
At this time, the combustion conditions of the Fire Yun Stone, the condition of the cauldron itself, and the condition of the fire crystal sand rock powder, unexpectedly entered a stable state of equilibrium. Even after Lingqi threw three more pieces into the combustion chamber of the cauldron furnace,
Fire Yunshi, when the fire power was increased by a certain amount, although the balance among the three had slight fluctuations, it soon returned to balance.
Zhi Lingqi guessed that if it was just ordinary rock powder, it should have been heated and melted into a liquid. However, due to the trace amount of fire crystal sand fused into the fire crystal sand rock powder, its melting point temperature has been greatly increased. Therefore,
So far, there is no sign of melting. It is conceivable that even if the cauldron is completely melted, the rock powder may not melt.
In addition, judging from the continuous burning of Huoyun Stone for more than an hour, the intensity of heat energy generated by its combustion may not reach the temperature that can completely melt the fire crystal sand rock powder.
Faced with this situation, Zhi Lingqi was powerless. Originally, he wanted to add more Fire Yun stones and give it a final try before making sure. However, he thought that after just adding three Fire Yun stones, there was nothing.
It didn't work, so I decided to give it up.
After a little analysis, he was convinced that even if he added more Fire Yun Stone, there was a high possibility that it would not be able to change the inability to melt the Fire Crystal Sand Rock Powder. He did not want to fail to achieve the purpose of melting the stone powder and lose one.
