Chapter 683 Alchemy Room!
Three days later.
At this time, dozens of feet underground, the appearance had already changed drastically.
Wei Hong walked down the passage, and the temperature became higher as he went down, but he seemed not to notice it, his expression was extremely calm, and he soon came to a black stone door.
He slowly pushed open the stone door and walked directly in.
After entering, the heat wave that originally hit the face was directly isolated behind the stone door, unable to have any impact on the inside. It seemed that there were two worlds inside and outside the stone door.
What appeared in front of Wei Hong at this time was a ten-foot-wide underground secret room. The four walls of this secret room, including the floor and ceiling, were all made of the same black rock as the door.
This black rock is called basalt.
Basalt has a very special effect, that is, it can completely insulate heat. Therefore, this kind of basalt has become an excellent material for major sects to build various alchemy rooms under the earth's lung fire veins. Wei Hong prepared it in the fairy city that day. Some, just come in handy at this time.
By building this alchemy room with basalt, he would not have to worry about being affected by the earth's fire.
On the left side of the alchemy room, there are two four-story stone shelves. Next to the stone shelves is a smooth stone table one foot long and three feet high. These things were made by Wei Hong using local materials. They are very special. Simple.
In the center of the alchemy room, there is an area surrounded by basalt bricks. This area is about one foot square. It is surrounded by eight downward stairs. Under the stairs is a layer of red rock plane, five feet square. , there is a dragon head connected to the red rock in the middle. The dragon head is about one foot high. The whole body is also made of basalt. It does not look exquisite, but it looks very similar. The mouth of the dragon head opens upward, and the surrounding There are also some complex divine patterns engraved on them.
This dragon head is the Earth Fire Mouth he built, and the area where the Earth Fire Mouth is located is the alchemy area.
Wei Hong walked to the alchemy area and reached out to touch the storage room. An alchemy furnace more than a foot high appeared in his hand. Then he threw it lightly and fired another burst of spiritual power. The alchemy furnace immediately It became more than seven feet high, and landed firmly on top of the dragon's head with a clang, and the three legs of the alchemy furnace also landed around the dragon's head.
At this moment, the second-level middle-grade Dragon-Tiger Bagua Furnace was completely displayed in front of him.
This is an alchemy furnace with two ears and three legs. The whole body is bronze and looks quite simple. The furnace body is divided into two layers, the upper is smaller and the lower is larger. Both layers of the furnace are cylindrical, like a gourd.
The furnace body is carved with exquisite and complex lines. The lines are winding and zigzag, which seems to contain unspeakable mysterious power. There is a winding five-clawed golden dragon in front of the furnace body, and a colorful tiger on the back. Surrounded by the dragon and tiger It is also engraved with Bagua patterns and some complicated runes.
The top of the stove is a hemispherical lid, and the edge of the lid is also exquisitely decorated. The circles of patterns ripple like water waves, which looks very beautiful.
On the front of the furnace body, in the center of the five-clawed golden dragon, is a circular furnace door.
The alchemy furnace now stood on three legs, each leg carved into the shape of an animal's claw, gripping the ground tightly and appearing extremely stable.
Next to Wei Hong, there is a stone table with a white jade formation plate on it, and a low-grade spiritual stone inlaid in the middle of the formation plate.
He came here this time just to start practicing alchemy.
"Let's try it first, get a feel for it, and get familiar with the second-level elixir recipe."
Wei Hong reached out and flicked it, and more than twenty boxes were placed side by side on the stone table.
He then fired a burst of spiritual power into the white jade array plate on the table, and after a brief movement, the dragon head under the alchemy furnace immediately spurted out a thick red flame, tightly wrapping the bottom of the alchemy furnace.
Taking advantage of the time to warm the furnace, Wei Hong opened the lids of all the boxes with a flick of his hand, revealing the spiritual flowers and herbs contained inside, as well as some spiritual fruits or rhizome-like materials.
Then he took out more than twenty five-inch-high white jade bottles from the storage bag and placed them in convenient locations. After the alchemy furnace was warmed up, Wei Hong directly picked up a Tianhai flower and threw it in through the circular furnace door.
This is the first step in refining alchemy, refining the materials, which means extracting the essence of these spiritual flowers and herbs, and burning out all the impurities.
When the Tianhai Flower was thrown into the alchemy furnace, he immediately controlled the array plate to increase the heat and started calcining it in order to burn out all the impurities in the Tianhai Flower.
Slowly, as the temperature rose sharply, the surface of the Tianhai flower began to turn brown, and the petals curled, and then slowly burned into ashes, falling directly to the bottom of the furnace.
Wei Hong, on the other hand, was constantly controlling the fire and observing the situation inside the alchemy furnace at any time.
In less than a cup of tea, the Tianhai flower was burned away, leaving only a pile of thumb-sized blue powder, which was the extracted Tianhai flower essence.
Seeing this, he immediately reduced the heat, then stretched out his hand to shoot out a stream of spiritual power that gently wrapped the small pile of blue powder and took it out. Then he immediately picked up a white jade bottle and controlled the spiritual power. Put all the blue powder into the jade bottle.
Bo!
Gently capping the bottle, he put it aside and ignored it.
Then Wei Hong picked up another snow jade grass and threw it into the alchemy furnace again, and continued to refine it.
Purple Salvia.
Star spirit grass.
Stephanotis vine.
Yunlin flower.
Each spiritual flower and spiritual grass was continuously thrown into the alchemy furnace and refined into its essence. Then Wei Hong took it out and put it into a white jade plate, waiting for subsequent processing.
What he tried to refine this time was the Jade Flower Pill.
Just the first step of purification and refining took him almost three hours.
After putting the essence of the last spiritual grass into the jade bottle, Wei Hong couldn't help but murmur to himself: "This second-level elixir is indeed much more complicated and more difficult than the first-level elixir. If It is not a matter of directly ascending to the realm of Dacheng. Just this first step of refining the materials may take two or three years of practice before it can be stably purified. It is no wonder that alchemy is the most resource-consuming skill among the four skills of cultivating immortals. "
After trying to refine second-level elixirs, Wei Hong understood better why many monks were unable to choose the art of alchemy. Not only because they were not talented enough, but also because alchemy was too expensive. Without strong financial support, if they wanted to become It is really difficult to become an alchemist of level 2 or above.
Not to mention anything else, the consumption of alchemy materials alone is enough to stop most monks.
Once a furnace of elixirs is directly refined, it means that all the materials have been wasted. If you want to continue practicing, you must continue to invest until countless materials are spent to truly refine the alchemy.
"Fortunately, I don't need to be like this, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hold it no matter how many spiritual stones I have!"
Wei Hong sighed secretly in his heart, and then began to continue the next step of alchemy.
