The purple fire spewed out from the eight dragon heads changed from thin to thick under Han Li's control, and became as thick as a finger. However, the speed of the silver tripod's rotation gradually slowed down, and it began to tremble slightly in the flames.
As time passed by, the small cauldron exuded a slight medicinal fragrance, which made people feel refreshed. But Han Li knew that it was still very early for the pill to be ready at this time, and at least it would have to be used more violently.
The ground fire requires instant elixir condensation, so that elixir pills can be formed.
Thinking of this, the purple fire under Han Li's control became even more dazzling, even reaching the point where it was as thick as the mouth of a bowl, covering the entire silver cauldron. Therefore, from a distance, the small cauldron had become a huge fireball.
And the medicinal fragrance became more and more intense.
Han Li knew without guessing that the powder was beginning to condense into elixirs, so he became more and more concerned about it.
But at this moment, a muffled cracking sound came from the cauldron. Although the sound was not loud, it made Han Li's heart sink and his face became a little ugly.
After hesitating for a moment, Han Li sighed and stopped burning the ground. Then with a move of his hand, he opened the lid of the still hot cauldron and stretched his head to take a look.
There are several fragmented light blue solids in the cauldron, which appear to be waste elixirs that have not yet been condensed!
Shaking his head, Han Li took out a jade box and placed it on the ground. He then controlled the silver cauldron to turn it over, poured these waste elixirs into the box, and then stored them away. Even though these were waste elixirs, they were also various kinds of elixirs.
The powder was condensed, and Han Li was reluctant to throw it away. Maybe it could be used for other purposes in the future!
After doing all this, Han Li returned to the futon and meditated. He didn't start refining the elixir again until the silver cauldron had completely cooled down.
The same steps, the same raw material powders, the same fire control techniques, but unfortunately, this time it still failed at the step of condensing the elixir.
This time Han Li had no expression on his face. After adjusting his condition, he silently started the next round...
…
A month had passed, and the ugly man was slightly surprised to see that Han Li had not come out of the underground fire house, but he was more excited, because this way, he could withdraw more fees.
Two months later, the stone gate on No. 18 still hadn't been opened. The ugly man felt pleased with himself, but also shocked.
Three months...
Six months later, Han Li showed no sign of coming out. At this time, the ugly man's joy had long since disappeared, leaving only a sad look on his face and a feeling of uneasiness.
In the past half year, it is not uncommon for alchemy or weapon refining. Even for a longer period of time, I have seen ugly men several times!
But the people who spent such a long time in the Earth Fire House were at least disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage and above! This was the first time for him to see a disciple like Han Li who was only in the Qi Refining stage, but stayed inside to refine pills for so long.
.
Moreover, the disciples in the Qi refining stage can only maintain their fasting for one month. Could it be that this disciple of Master Li brought food and drink with him, so he can persist to this day? The ugly man thought with full of doubts.
In the Earth Fire House, Han Li sat cross-legged on the futon, looking at the twenty-odd blue Foundation Establishment Pills floating in front of him, with a thoughtful look on his face.
These elixirs are the fruits of Han Li's countless efforts over the past six months. It is extremely difficult to obtain them!
In the first twenty times of refining, Han Li could not even pass the stage of condensing the elixir. Seeing the discarded elixirs again and again, he was so heartbroken that he almost gave up. He planned to learn the formal alchemy skills from other alchemists when he went back.
, and then refine the Foundation Building Pill again. Although this delay will definitely take a long time, it is better than wasting the elixir in vain!
But before he left, he accidentally opened the cauldron and refining it again. This time, like a divine help, he actually condensed the elixir, and when he opened the cauldron to take the elixir, he miraculously succeeded in taking the elixir in one go, allowing him to obtain
I made the first Foundation Building Pill that I personally refined.
Except for being slightly smaller in size, this Foundation-Building Pill is exactly the same as the three original pills. This greatly boosted Han Li's spirit!
With this encouragement, Han Li gritted his teeth, gave up the idea of going back, calmed down and continued.
Needless to say, after this successful experience, Han Li's chances of condensing pills immediately skyrocketed, and one of his three refining attempts succeeded in condensing pills. For opening the furnace, Han Li was even more surprisingly talented, and he even succeeded in condensing more than half of the pills.
He could successfully obtain the elixir in one go, which was something he never expected!
During this period, when Han Li felt hungry and thirsty, he would eat a bottle of Bigu Pill that he got from the little old man, and then he could hold on for another month! This bottle of Bigu Pill, he used
I got a few century-old herbs from outside under the pretext of purchasing them! Now, they come in handy.
In this way, when the raw materials in Han Li's hands were exhausted, he obtained this batch of astonishing amounts of Foundation Establishment Pills. The quantity of this batch of pills far exceeded original expectations!
When he heard about the difficulty of refining alchemy, he thought that he would be pretty good if he could get seven or eight pills! But now it seems that refining pills in a furnace is not as exaggerated and difficult as the rumors in the world of immortality say! Are those alchemists misleading other cultivators?
? Or do you really have the talent for alchemy?
Han Li was slightly confused!
In fact, Han Li was mistaken. Alchemy is actually three points more difficult than what the outside world spreads. An ordinary alchemist cannot be cultivated without twenty or thirty years of time and an almost astronomical amount of wealth.
of.
Han Li's current level of refining Foundation Establishment Pills is already at the top of ordinary alchemists! The reason why such an incredible thing happened is all due to Han Li's continuous refining of the same type of pills for the past six months.
On medicine.
You must know that no matter how wealthy the sect is, it is impossible for any alchemist to have enough precious materials to refine the same elixir every day, and this lasts for half a year.
Unless this happens to the lowest-level elixir, there is still a possibility! However, if it is a low-level elixir, then there is no need to practice and accumulate experience. Anyway, the raw materials are not expensive, and it will be broken again if it is broken.
Just do it once.
Han Li didn't understand this, so he naturally didn't think about it, but after thinking about it for a while, he let it go. Because now he suddenly had the idea of swallowing the Foundation Establishment Pill immediately and building the Foundation on the spot to pass the pass.
This thought was so strong that Han Li couldn't help but seriously consider the possibility of retreating in this Earth Fire House.
…
Eleven months later, the stone door of the Earth Fire House where Han Li was located was still closed, with no sign of it being opened.
On this day, the ugly man stared blankly at Stone Gate No. 19, with a sad expression on his face! At this time, he was sure that something had happened to Han Li inside. Otherwise, even the monks in the foundation building period should have come out.
He was not worried about Han Li, but he was really afraid that Master Li would be angry with him because his disciple had an accident. Although he was a close relative of Master Zhong and could manage this place because of this, the ugly man was very ugly.
It is clear that Master Li is really angry about this, and this patron will never stand up for him.
Just when the ugly man was filled with sorrow, the stone door in front of him suddenly flashed with white light, and then opened silently, and then a man walked out with a cheerful face. It was Han Li who had been in the house for nearly a year.
The ugly man, who took a long time to react, was suddenly surprised and happy. He hurriedly took a few steps forward and said with complaint:
"Junior brother, why did you come out now? If you don't come out, I will..., eh! You...!"
The ugly man who had just spoken a few words suddenly had his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost. He pointed directly at Han Li and was speechless, unable to say anything else!
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" Han Li looked at the ugly man, his face flashed, and he said with a smile.
"You...your skills! How can I...? Is it difficult...are you in the foundation building stage?" It took the ugly man a long time to come back to his senses, with a look of confusion and horror on his face, and finally stammered
asked.
"Well! After I finished refining the elixir, I felt that the environment here was good, so I took a foundation-building elixir and retreated for a while. As a result, I successfully passed the test. Now I am indeed a monk in the foundation-building stage!" Han Li saw the other party.
When asked this question, he stretched his body and said grandly:
"Building a foundation here?"
The ugly man looked at the Earth Fire House behind Han Li, and then looked at Han Li again. He still couldn't believe it! This was the first time he had heard of foundation building in the Earth Fire House, which specializes in alchemy and weapon refining!
But he moved his lips a few times, but still did not say the question on his lips. Not only was the other party a disciple of Master Li, but also just as a monk in the foundation building stage, he, a disciple in the Qi refining stage, could no longer provoke him.
"Why, can't you?" Han Li glanced at the other party lightly and said rudely. Immediately, the unique coercion of the foundation-building monks was immediately released. The ugly man who was only a few feet away from him immediately
I was forced to take several steps back, sweating profusely.
"Of course not. There are no such unreasonable regulations above. Congratulations to Master, Uncle, for your successful retreat!" The ugly man was very well-behaved. He immediately nodded and bowed and said with a smile. Even his title was changed from "Junior Brother" to "Junior Brother".
"Uncle Master".
Now that the other party has successfully established the foundation, he can be regarded as his elder in the future. If you are more respectful, this is what you should do.
The ugly man is very imaginative! He has a very thorough understanding of the idea that strength is paramount in the world of immortality!
