Chapter two hundred and seventy-ninth open fire eyes
Although Wei Zongxun is young and only has a level of cultivation at the foundation level, his status in Qingxuan Sect is relatively high, no less than Han Yan when he was just building the foundation.
He is a rare formation master in the sect. Once this kind of talent grows up, it will be of great help to Qingxuan Sect. Once he can advance to the fourth level formation master, even Patriarch Jin will give him a lot of respect.
Therefore, even though his cultivation levels were very different, Zhang Zhixuan did not dare to neglect him along the way and respectfully married Wei Zong into the family.
With continuous conversations with Wei Zongxun, Zhang Zhixuan also learned a little about the process of opening the fire eye.
Although the earth fire is stable and burns at an extremely high temperature, unfortunately it is not as pure and clean as the monks' true fire. There are countless mineral impurities in the earth fire, which will turn into earth lung poisonous fire after being smelted over time.
This kind of earth-lung poisonous fire is colorless, tasteless, traceless, soundless, intangible and qualityless, and will be mixed in with ordinary earth-fire. Unless some monks who practice fire-attribute skills, it is almost difficult for ordinary people to distinguish it.
The poisonous fire underground is extremely sinister and extremely troublesome. Once contaminated, even high-level monks such as Zifu Jindan will leave hidden dangers that are difficult to solve if they cannot be eliminated immediately.
Therefore, if you want to open the eye of fire, the first step is to purify the earth fire and exclude the poisonous fire of the earth lungs. If you want to purify the earth fire, you must set up an array, and you need a third-level magic weapon that is not afraid of the smelting of the earth fire to serve as the eye of the array.
.
In addition, the temperature of the ground fire is very high, and ordinary materials will be easily smelted and will not be used for too long at all.
The materials for building the fire chamber must also use very good refractory materials, which often require the help of a third-level weapon refiner. However, the Zhang family has Zhang Sidao, a third-level weapon refiner. This time, in order to build the alchemy room, Zhang Sidao also followed Zhang Zhixuan.
Let's go back to the mountain together to help.
In the three southeastern counties, the best refractory material is the fire-removing brick invented by Qingxuanzong. This kind of refractory brick uses thirteen kinds of materials such as refined copper, quartzite, white crystal, and clay, and then uses the real fire ability in the monks
Smelting.
The recipe for the fire-removing bricks has been kept secret and has not been passed on to the vassal Foundation Establishment family. However, in order to build the underground fire chamber, the Wu family also invited the sect's internal weapon refiner to help refine the fire-removing bricks. There is a precedent for the Wu family.
, Zhang Zhixuan can also ask Sidao to help refine fire-removing bricks.
After fifteen years of Si Dao foundation building, he has learned more than a dozen methods of refining third-level magic weapons within the Qingxuan Sect. Because Zhang Zhixuan notified him in advance, he also spent two hundred good deeds to learn the method of refining fire bricks.
As long as the Zhang family finds the materials, Si Dao can perform sacrifices and remove the fire bricks at home.
The materials for refining fire-removing bricks include refined copper and xuanying stone, which are spiritual objects cultivated by monks, as well as earthly mineral veins such as clay and white crystal. After Zhang Zhixuan returned home, he immediately mobilized the monks below to start collecting materials.
Supplied Zhang Sidao to refine the fire-removing bricks.
This process took two years. In the past two years, the fire-removing bricks refined by Sidao were able to build three fire-refining chambers.
After the fire-removing bricks were successfully refined, the Zhang family spent almost three thousand spiritual stones on this investment alone.
In the past two years, Zhang Zhixuan accompanied Wei Zongxun to the four spiritual veins of the family, inspecting the mountains with him to find a suitable place to open the fire hole.
Lingjing Mountain was eliminated first. Although the aura here is the best, the area is unfortunately small. Once the ground line is opened, the base fire will break out and destroy this exquisite Lingshan Mountain.
The Ten Thousand Snake Cave is not suitable here. Although the Ten Thousand Snake Cave is underground, it may require a smaller amount of work. However, this spiritual vein is not strong enough, and it is still in the middle of the underground cold pool. Once the ground fire is opened, there will be a conflict between water and fire.
A violent explosion will immediately occur, completely destroying the spiritual veins.
Moreover, a large amount of mysterious grass is planted in the cold pool of Wanshe Cave. This kind of spiritual grass is a very important source of wealth for the Zhang family. Unless there is no other suitable location, Zhang Zhixuan will not choose to open a fire cave here at all.
The final location was the vast Jiuhua Mountain, and Tiantai Peak was selected. Tiantai Peak is majestic. If the fire eye is to be opened, Lingshan needs to be completely opened. The amount of work required is too large, and it may last for decades.
Although Jiuhua Mountain is also a big mountain, its height is only one-tenth of Tiantai Peak. It is the most suitable place among the four spiritual veins of the Zhang family.
After choosing a place, Zhang Zhixuan immediately arranged for monks to dig a cave, preparing to slowly open up the earth's veins and draw out the earth's fire.
This kind of work can be left to ordinary mortals at the beginning. Once the underground water source is dug out, it can then be handed over to the Qi-training monks to drain the underground water and continue digging deeper.
The deeper you dig, the higher the temperature of the cave will be. Eventually, ordinary mortals will not be able to carry on any longer. After that, the excavation work will be handed over to monks in the Qi training period. When they reach the last thousand feet, due to the underground miasma,
, it may even require monks in the foundation building stage to do it themselves.
In the past two years, Sidao was refining refractory bricks, Zhang Zhixuan was arranging manpower to dig fire holes, and Wei Zongxun was also collecting materials and refining formations to purify the earth fire.
All the work went hand in hand under the overall arrangement of Zhang Zhixuan. Fire removal bricks were placed in the fire pits one by one, and then merged into one using spells. The three fire refining chambers already looked similar, and the excavation of the fire pits was about to begin.
When a foundation-building monk is needed to come forward.
In order to speed up the progress, Zhang Zhixuan, the patriarch, and Zhang Sihong, three foundation-building monks, personally came forward and went underground to dig the fire eye.
As for Zhang Tonghuai, who had just built a foundation, he was sent to Chaoyin Mountain by Zhang Zhixuan, and Zhang Sihong, who took over the guard, returned to the mountain. After all, he had just built a foundation and had insufficient mana. It would take some time to stabilize his state.
Sihong has been building the foundation for almost ten years. He is a second spiritual root monk. He cultivates in a place with abundant spiritual energy like Chaoyin Mountain. He has continuously broken through two realms in ten years, far surpassing Sihong who built the foundation a few years earlier.
Dao. In a few years, he will be ready to take the Miaozhen Pill and try to break through to the middle stage of foundation building.
Among the three, Zhang Zhixuan had the highest level of cultivation and the strongest magic power. He was young and strong and could quickly dig deep.
Another hundred feet can dig through the earth's veins and open the eye of fire.
The power of the earth fire explosion was quite violent. Even if Zhang Zhixuan's magic power was half that of the Zifu monks, he would not be able to suppress such an explosion. The last step to open the fire eye was to trouble Qing Chan, who had the highest level of cultivation.
Qingchan had been preparing for a long time, and fired the Liuyang Crossbow continuously. After three arrows, he penetrated the earth veins and drew out the earth fire.
A strong explosion came from the eye of fire, and the red and hot lava rushed towards Qingchan along the eye of fire.
These streams of lava may be mixed with the poisonous earthly fire. Even if Qingchan opens the Zifu, this kind of earthly fire will still pose a strong threat to her.
After all, compared to the vast power of heaven and earth, Qingchan's magic power is simply insignificant, and it is difficult to protect himself from the base fire for too long.
