Chapter 371: The Mystery of the Xuanwu Furnace (4000 votes requested)



The energy of the medicine instantly filled the entire bedroom space and engulfed Kong Jue's body.

Fortunately, Kong Ju used his spiritual power to imprison the room before refining the elixir, otherwise the explosion of the medicine would have overturned the entire courtyard.

The drug took effect for about a cup of tea.

Whoosh! A cold snowy wind blew through this small space, dispersing the scattered medicinal dust.

Revealing Kong Jue's spotless figure.

His face was calm. It was normal to fail in refining a third-grade elixir for the first time.

What is valuable is the experience gained from failure.

There was a thoughtful look in his eyes as he summed up the reasons for this failure. After a long time, his eyes sparkled again and he said to himself, "The medicinal properties of the Stone Amber Grass and the Shengyang Root are most repellent, while the medicinal properties of the Stone Amber Grass and the Blood Vine are compatible. Before integrating all the medicinal properties, perhaps we should let the medicinal power of the Stone Amber Grass blend with the Blood Vine first."

“There may be fewer rejection reactions like this.”

"Moreover, the medicinal power of the third-grade spiritual medicine is obviously much more difficult to refine than the second-grade one. I should spend more time to refine them repeatedly."

Having replayed the process of refining the elixir of spring countless times in his mind, Kong Jue stood there for the entire night.

It was not until the sun rose outside that Kong Ju began to refine the second batch of the elixir of spring.

Kong Ju's movements were undoubtedly much smoother than when he was refining the first furnace.

The previous imperfections were corrected in a timely manner.

After refining the medicinal power of Shengyang Root, when countless auxiliary medicines are about to merge with the medicinal power of Shengyang Root.

Kong Jue deliberately integrated the medicinal essences of the Stone Amber Grass and the Blood Vine together first, and then let the medicinal power of the Shengyang Root be integrated into the essences of many spiritual medicines.

This time the rejection reaction was indeed much weaker.

However, the mottled medicinal power that was a fusion of dozens of spiritual medicines was still extremely unstable.

Kong Ju had to be extremely alert and control the spiritual fire in the furnace to refine it repeatedly.

Because the process dragged on for too long, a lot of the medicinal essence evaporated under the tempering of the furnace fire.

When the medicinal power was completely integrated, it turned into a thick black substance and much of the medicinal power was lost.

"Alas, even if this furnace is refined, the quality will most likely be poor." Looking at the black mass of medicinal properties in the furnace, Kong Ju sighed, but he could only bite the bullet and cast the pill.

Regardless of the quality of this batch of medicine, the refining process of the third-grade medicine must be completed. It is also a way to become familiar with the refining process of this spring elixir and lay the foundation for the next batch of medicine.

The black pill condensed into shape in the pill furnace, and this time the old turtle didn't even appear.

It is conceivable that the quality of this batch of pills may not even reach the 60% passing line.

Kong Ju could only sigh, open the furnace, and take out the elixir of spring.

It is pitch black all over, with bumpy skin, and has no scent of elixir. If you put it close to your nose, you can smell a burnt smell.

"The medicinal strength is only 40%, the pill is useless." Kong Ju only took a look and threw the pill to the ground.

This kind of waste pill is too toxic. Taking it casually will do more harm than good. It is better to throw it away.

"There are still two chances!" Kong Ju took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Bang! The fire in the Xuanwu furnace rose.

The third furnace begins! With the experience of two failures, Kong Jue has done every step of the medicine refining to the extreme this time.

Be fully focused and forget yourself.

Three days later.

noon.

Huh! A rich scent of elixir wafted out from the courtyard that Kong Jue had sealed off with layers of spiritual power.

Many servants in the princess's mansion who were closer to Kong Ju's courtyard smelled the fragrance.

The fragrance is colorless, but for those who smell the elixir, whether male or female, the world in their eyes seems to have turned pink.

There was an irrepressible feeling of heat all over their bodies, erupting from deep within their flesh like a volcano, arousing the desires hidden deep in their hearts.

Under the influence of desire, the breathing of men and women became heavy. Although they looked ordinary men and women in each other's eyes on weekdays, they now looked much more attractive in each other's eyes.

They began to move towards each other uncontrollably.

The fragrance of the elixir also reached the place where Monk Congyun was staying.

The monk's nose twitched slightly, and then his brows knitted. This monk with impure senses did not have sex under the scent of the elixir. Instead, he exclaimed, "What a strong aphrodisiac!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Monk Congyun closed his eyes, muttered something, and actually suppressed the feeling of heat all over his body.

But other people in the mansion suffered, and an ethical farce was about to unfold.

Clang! A golden bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky outside Kong Ju's courtyard.

Amidst the rumbling of thunder and the spreading of light, the medicinal fragrance was cut off at the source.

The servants in the princess's mansion, whose eyes were dazed and faces were flushed due to the fragrance of the elixir, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What's going on?"

His gaze shifted towards the empty courtyard where Kong Ju was in retreat.

The graceful figure restrained the thunder and lightning in her body, and her three thousand black hair swayed slightly in the wind.

Huangfu Wuqin's eyes were filled with anger and shame as she looked at the courtyard below that was imprisoned by Kong Ju's spiritual power.

If she hadn't sensed that Kong Ju was at the critical moment of refining the elixir, she would have struck him with a bolt of lightning.

"How dare you make... aphrodisiac in my mother's mansion!"

Huangfu Wuqin's voice sounded somewhat unfriendly.

If I hadn't acted in time, the entire imperial city would know about this ethical farce tomorrow, and my mother would be humiliated.

However, the effect of this medicine is indeed strong. The mere fragrance of the medicine makes it difficult for the servants in the mansion with low cultivation to control themselves. If they take it, they will probably lose their minds on the spot.

"At least third rank."

Although Huangfu Wuqin didn't know how to make pills, she was the daughter of the head of the sect after all. She knew the standards for judging the quality of pills through what she had seen and heard. Besides feeling embarrassed, there was also shock in her pale golden pupils. She sighed, "What Elder Lu Changping said is indeed right. Kong Ju is a genius in the art of alchemy."

A third-grade alchemist in his early twenties could be a guest of honor in the Cangwu Sect if he were in Wudong.

Moreover, Kong Ju's cultivation has not yet fallen behind, and he seems to be making progress on par with himself.

"What a monster!" Huangfu Wuqin murmured.

If Kong Ju had not watched him grow up step by step with his own eyes, Huangfu Wuqin would almost think that the young man in front of him was possessed by some old monster.

"My mother will probably be happy when she finds out."

"But you can't tell her that Kong Ju is making an aphrodisiac..."

Thinking of this, Huangfu Wuqin's anger dissipated a lot, and he muttered: "Humph, I'll let you go this time!"

Kong Ju had no idea what disaster he had almost caused.

His attention was completely focused on the basalt furnace.

In the center of the alchemy furnace, a pink pill was suspended in it, surrounded by pink mist.

Before he could take a closer look, the old turtle appeared again and repeated his previous actions, swallowing the pill in one gulp, and finally was hit by the colorful light and vomited it out.

"Shit alchemy furnace!"

Finally, with the old turtle cursing, he was suppressed by the furnace cover again.

"Success!" Looking at the pink pill in his palm, Kong Ju's face, which had become a little haggard due to refining medicine for many days, finally showed a hint of joy.

There is no need to say much about the medicinal properties of the Fengchun elixir.

Smelling its fragrance at such a close distance, Kong Jue couldn't help but feel hot all over.

Spiritual energy is rolling inside the Frost Sky Immortal Base, and it may burst out of the body at any time and spread among the limbs and bones.

Just by smelling the scent, Kong Jue felt a little distracted.

If you take this, I'm afraid your rationality will be filled with primitive desires.

Kong Ju had no doubt that even if the powerful Zhang Sheng took it, he would be transformed into a stud on the spot.

"Hold on. This virgin body of mine cannot be broken before I am reborn." Restraining the heat in his heart, Kong Ju took a deep breath and stuffed the elixir of spring into the jade bottle that had been prepared long ago.

The jade bottle is a natural device for isolating elixirs.

With the mouth of the bottle closed, not a trace of the elixir fragrance leaked out.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Feeling the heat all over his body gradually fade away, Kong Ju breathed a sigh of relief.

Successfully refining a third-grade elixir is undoubtedly a good thing.

But Kong Ju still had a confused look on his face, and he murmured softly, "How come it's still only 60% done! It's barely a finished product."

"The Xuanwu furnace still doesn't have the medicinal power to bless it!"

This made Kong Ju a little confused.

It seems that except for the first batch of Great Mirror-Breaking Pills refined, which received a 10% boost in medicinal power, and the second batch, which received a half-boost in medicinal power.

The other furnaces have almost no blessings.

This basalt furnace does increase the success rate of refining medicine pills.

Kong Qi estimated that the success rate should be around 10%.

The effect is quite remarkable.

But if it were only this kind of improvement, it would not match the identity of the Xuanwu Furnace as a spiritual weapon.

"What's the secret behind this?" Kong Ju looked directly at the basalt furnace in front of him which still had residual heat. His expression was solemn, and he kept thinking in his mind.

"The first time the Xuanwu furnace significantly enhanced the medicinal power of the elixir was when I made the first batch of the Great Mirror-breaking Pill."

"So what did the Xuanwu furnace experience before this?"

"Is it because the lid of the Xuanwu furnace and the furnace body have been separated for thousands of years and are now fused together for the first time, so it has the medicinal properties?"

"Is time the prerequisite for the basalt furnace to increase the potency of the medicine?"

"It needs to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish itself?"

Kong Ju thought about it carefully, then shook his head to rule out this speculation.

The Xuanwu Furnace has always been placed in his sea of ​​consciousness. It does not have the ability to actively absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth. Kong Ju is very sure of this.

Moreover, when the basalt furnace had only one furnace cover, there were no related signs.

At that time, the half-effectiveness of the medicinal power of the Xuanwu furnace depended entirely on the tortoise shell on the furnace cover.

"Wait! Turtle shell!" Suddenly, Kong Ju felt that he had vaguely grasped the key point.

The essence of the tortoise shell is the black tortoise itself.

The proof is that the enhancement of the medicinal power of the Xuanwu furnace depends on the black tortoise.

The first batch of Broken Mirror Pills had that 10% medicinal power because the old turtle swallowed the pill and then spit it out.

To prove himself, he should look for the reason from the black turtle.

As soon as he thought of this, all kinds of thoughts flashed wildly in Kong Qi's mind.

Kong Ju began to recall the old turtle's every move and every word he said since he appeared in the Xuanwu furnace.

Suddenly, Kong Ju's memories of getting along with the old turtle froze on the scene when he threw out the longevity pill and the old turtle swallowed it in one gulp.

That was the first time the old turtle had contact with the outside world after its appearance.

If we want to find a reason, that would definitely be Kong Ju's first suspicion.

"The medicinal power comes from the Wanshou Pill I gave it before?"

Kong Ju felt that he had captured something.

The eyes are getting brighter and brighter.

The black tortoise itself no longer has a physical body and has completely merged with the Xuanwu furnace, becoming the "spirit" of this spiritual weapon.

It swallowed the pill, but for a powerful spiritual weapon like it, it was of no benefit at all and it was impossible for it to absorb it.

So where did the medicine it swallowed go?

Then Kong Ju thought of the scene when the old turtle swallowed the Great Mirror-breaking Pill.

That Big Mirror-breaking Pill with an extra 10% medicinal power.

"So that's it! So that's it!" Kong Ju slowly raised his head, smiling in his eyes, and all the confusion in his head seemed to be cleared up.

However, these are just speculations after all. Whether the facts are consistent with your own speculations will require a try to know.

Thinking of this, Kong Ju slowly stood up and closed the lid of the basalt furnace.

Then, with a thought, he lifted the suppression on the old turtle.

"Splash!" accompanied by a series of sounds of running water.

Black mysterious water flowed out from the Xuanwu furnace and condensed into the shape of an old turtle on the furnace cover.

"You bastard!" The old turtle was already furious. He swallowed the pill again and again, but was hit by the Xuanwu furnace again and again, forcing it to swallow the pill.

For the greedy old turtle, it was tantamount to torture.

When he was finally released by Kong Ju, he naturally wanted to vent his anger. His voice was filled with rage, which made Kong Ju's ears buzz.

Kong Jue grinned and picked his ears, watching the old turtle's mouth opening and closing rapidly, ready to roar out some obscenities again.

He took the first step and raised the longevity pill prepared in his sleeve and threw it towards the old turtle.

The old turtle was cursing excitedly when he saw the pill flying towards him. His face froze for a moment and he even forgot to curse. He quickly opened his mouth and swallowed the longevity pill into his stomach.

Crunch! As he chewed the pill, the old turtle finally looked a little better.

"You kid, don't think that..."

Before the old turtle could finish his words, Kong Ju, with an expressionless face, ejected several longevity pills in succession, which continuously broke through the air and flew towards it.

The old turtle's eyes sparkled and he accepted them all with a smile.

The resentment in my heart seemed to disappear at this moment.

Kong Ju fed five pills in a row before stopping. It was not because he was reluctant to do so, but because the Wanshou Pills were almost gone.

The materials for the longevity pill that I purchased have not yet been refined, so I can only feed them here.

"Grandpa Turtle forgives you..." On the other side, the old turtle was satisfied and was about to say some polite words, but he only finished half of his words.

Kong Ju had already moved his mind and controlled the Xuanwu furnace to suppress the old turtle who was at a loss.

"Who wants to listen to your nonsense?" Muttering, Kong Ju cheered up and started to refine the fourth and final batch of Fengchun elixir. (End of this chapter)
