Kong Ju was not in a hurry to refine the medicine. He stared at the lid of the Xuanwu furnace, patiently waiting for Xuan Heng to appear.
The old turtle was so depressed in the stove that he would come out and talk nonsense whenever he got the chance.
As expected.
With a series of tumbling sounds, black water overflowed from the furnace, adding a little moisture to this small space.
On the stove cover, the figure of the old turtle reappeared.
This time, without waiting for it to speak, the moment its form appeared, Kong Jue flicked out the three Ten Thousand Beast Pills that he had prepared in his hand with his fingers and shot them at the old turtle.
The latter's eyes immediately lit up. He didn't expect Kong Ju to be so generous. Without saying much, he opened his mouth and swallowed the pill.
The old turtle Xuan Heng liked the Longevity Pill very much. He did not swallow it whole, but savored it carefully in his mouth with a look of enjoyment on his face.
Kong Ju was not in a hurry and watched the scene with a smile.
He fed the black turtle naturally in preparation for the subsequent alchemy.
Only when the old turtle eats the elixir can the medicinal power enhanced by the basalt furnace be brought into play.
But before that, he also had a few questions to ask the old bastard.
Kill two birds with one stone.
When the old turtle had almost finished eating and swallowed all the Ten Thousand Beasts Pills into its stomach.
Kong Ju then spoke with a smile on his face, his voice neither slow nor hurried echoing in this small space: "Master Turtle, are you satisfied with this pill?"
The old turtle turned his eyes away without even looking at Kong Jue, and said something that was obviously insincere: "It's just okay!"
It was needless to say what the old turtle's character was like. Kong Ju was too lazy to argue with it. He calmly flicked the non-existent dust off his sleeves and asked, "As usual, ask Grandpa Turtle a few questions."
"Master Turtle, do you know about the Three-Headed Howling Earth Lion and the Rain Curtain Charming Heart Fox?"
After the battle at Wanlan Lake, Kong Ju and the two monsters formed a good relationship.
Because he learned from them that the entrance to the Xianyun Realm would be opened soon, Kong Ju was also thinking about a way out for himself.
The demon clan is obviously the direction where Kong Qi can leverage his strength.
I just don’t know what status these two monsters have in the tribe, and whether they can have a say in the monster tribe.
That's why Kong Ju asked Xuan Heng.
"Hehe, how could I not know? I, Grandpa Turtle, and the Three-Headed Howling Earth Lion have fought against each other. We fought for three hundred rounds in the Endless Sea, and I, Grandpa Turtle, beat the Three-Headed Howling Earth Lion to pieces."
"If it weren't for the clan's prohibition on the Palm-Born Demon Kings killing each other, I, Grandpa Turtle, would have definitely ripped its skull off!"
Xuan Heng chuckled and said something that Kong Ju didn't believe at all.
His eyelids fluttered when he heard this. Although he knew Xuan Heng was bragging, he didn't want to interrupt.
Finally, Xuan Heng changed the subject and replied in a serious tone, "The ancestors of the Three-Headed Howling Earth Lion and the Rain Curtain Charming Heart Fox both produced the Creation of the Mysterious Demon Lord. They have noble bloodlines, and their numbers are very small, so they have some status in the clan."
"The three-headed howling earth lion has a strong physique and possesses blood magic. Its strength on land has skyrocketed. Monster beasts and cultivators of the same realm are no match for it. It is very brave."
"They are just naturally belligerent and can't stand provocation. They are a bunch of brainless people."
Maybe because of old grudges, Xuan Heng didn't think highly of the three-headed howling lion.
Only when he talked about Yulian Meixin Fox did his expression become more solemn.
"The Rain Curtain Charming Fox is much more cunning and full of evil intentions. They are the most cunning among the tribe."
"They are the best among countless demon tribes in terms of spiritual awareness, and are especially good at charm. You have to be extra careful when dealing with them. If you lose focus for a moment, you might get caught."
Kong Ju had fought with the two monsters before, so he was naturally very clear about their strength.
He also knew that Xuan Heng was not talking nonsense, so he nodded slightly and asked the question he was concerned about: "So, those two monsters still have some say in the tribe?"
"That's natural. After all, he is a descendant of Zaoxuan. His bloodline is naturally stronger than other monsters. He has greater potential and stronger combat power."
Xuan Heng said this with a look of emotion: "We demons are not like you cultivators. We value bloodline too much."
"For monsters of the same realm, bloodline suppression is particularly severe. Unless one is extremely talented, it is difficult to break this iron rule."
As he spoke, Xuan Heng fixed his green eyes on Kong Ju's face and asked with a half-smile, "Why? Have you made enemies with these two monsters?"
"Don't worry. I, Grandpa Turtle, have some status in the demon tribe. If you can find a way to get me out of this broken furnace, Grandpa Turtle will help you with it, how about that?"
Kong Ju smiled and said noncommittally, "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Turtle."
Having said this, there was a glimmer of strangeness in Kong Qi's eyes.
"When this old bastard heard the names of the Three-Headed Howling Earth Lion and the Rain Curtain Charming Heart Fox, he didn't even ask me to hand it over to them. Instead, he asked me to help it escape."
"It seems that this old bastard doesn't have a good reputation among the demons. He probably has a bad reputation."
Kong Ju glanced at the old turtle's expectant face and began to ponder again.
"Since the Three-Headed Howling Earth Lion and Rain Curtain Charming Fox have a say in the demon tribe, if we can ask them to be our guarantors, then when we are really at our wit's end, it would be feasible to seek protection from the demon tribe."
The final way out has been figured out, and Kong Ju feels relieved.
He didn't ask any more questions. After saying goodbye, Grandpa Turtle, he waved his hand gently and drove the black turtle away from the stove cover.
The black water that the black turtle transformed into disappeared.
Kong Ju walked into the Xuanwu furnace, stroked the furnace cover with his palm, and muttered secretly: "Although this old turtle has a bad reputation, we can't let the people of the demon clan recognize its identity, otherwise when they reach out to me to ask for the Xuanwu furnace, I will be in a difficult position to refuse."
"It seems that even if we have to use the basalt furnace, we need to do it quickly."
These are all details and troubles that need to be avoided, and Kong Ju has figured them out one by one.
Only then did Kong Jue begin to formally refine the elixir.
As he waved his hand.
The ingredients for five batches of the elixir of spring were neatly laid out on the floor of the basalt furnace.
Bang! Kong Ju placed his palm on the basalt furnace, and as his spiritual power urged it, a deep blue flame suddenly rose from the bottom of the furnace.
Officially start refining medicine.
Kong Ji already had the experience of successfully refining the spring elixir, so every step seemed easy for him.
He threw each portion of elixir into the furnace for refining.
Also be careful to avoid places where there are conflicts between various medicinal properties.
After all, the third-grade elixir is time-consuming to make.
Even though Kong Ju was very experienced, it still took him a whole day and a night to refine a furnace of pills.
The first batch of spring elixir came out, with the blessing of the medicinal properties of the Xuanwu furnace.
The quality of this batch of medicine, which was 70% good, became 75%, approaching the level of fine products.
Kong Ju spent a whole day and night refining the medicine, with no sign of fatigue on his face. He carefully took out the medicine and put it into the jade bottle, with a smile in his eyes: "The first furnace was successful, which is a good sign."
This time, with the protection of the formation, the medicinal properties of the Fengchun elixir were firmly locked in the courtyard and did not leak out.
Therefore, there was no trouble like the first time when refining the spring elixir.
Kong Ju cheered up, summoned the black turtle and fed it a few longevity pills, then began to refine the second furnace.
Five days later.
The five batches of spring elixir purchased from Xunyu Pavilion have all been refined.
There were five furnaces of pills in total, four of which were successfully refined and one was wasted.
Among the four furnaces, one produces fine products, one produces good quality products, and two produce finished products.
Looking at the four jade bottles neatly placed on the ground, Kong Ju, who had not slept for five days and five nights, also showed a look of fatigue on his face.
"Out of five furnaces, four have been completed. With an 80% success rate, I am now firmly in the position of a third-grade alchemist."
Kong Ju smiled as his eyes swept over the four spring elixirs.
With a 60% success rate in making pills, he is already considered a third-grade alchemist.
Although Kong Ju used the Xuanwu furnace, a powerful spiritual instrument, to refine pills, and relied on its enhanced properties to increase the success rate of pills, his 80% success rate was enough to make him a third-grade alchemist.
I believe that even if Kong Ju leaves the Xuanwu furnace, it will be no problem for him to maintain a 60% success rate in making pills.
"It's just that the power of this Fengchun Spiritual Medicine is too overbearing. I just smelled the fragrance of the elixir for a few more days, and my body can't take it anymore."
Kong Ju covered his nose with a helpless look on his face, blocking out the scent of the elixir of spring that kept pouring into his nose from the air.
The other hand waved its sleeve, creating a gust of wind in the house.
He used his spiritual power to gather the fragrance of the elixir in this space, and finally condensed it into a ball of pink aura in Kong Ju's palm.
Then Kong Juzhang's mental power burst out, freezing and sealing this breath.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Throw it into a corner of the house.
After doing all this, the air in the room suddenly became clearer and Kong Ju felt his breathing became much smoother.
After being immersed in the fragrance of this elixir of spring for so many days, Kong Jue's blood was already boiling.
My body reacted, my mouth became dry, and my mind was full of erotic images.
"This state is obviously extremely unfavorable for refining Qingfeng Fuyue Powder next."
Thinking of this, Kong Ju suddenly closed his eyes and started practicing the Guanghan Taiyin Meridian to calm the restlessness in his body.
He sat like this for a whole day and a night.
When he opened his eyes again, clarity had finally returned to him.
After a day and a night of breathing exercises, he not only dispelled the remaining medicinal power of the Fengchun elixir, but also swept away the fatigue he had experienced after five days and five nights of refining the elixir.
His eyes were shining brightly and he was in surprisingly good condition.
It’s pretty self-explanatory what to do next.
Kong Ju first took out the main ingredient for refining Qingfeng Fuyue Powder, Coral Green.
The coral is emerald green all over and is about one foot tall.
The shape is very similar to deer antlers, and the main body of the elixir grows upwards, showing irregular forks.
A medicinal fragrance similar to that of Epiphyllum immediately rushed into Kong Ji's mouth and nose the moment Coral Green was exposed to the air.
After taking a quick sniff, Kong Ji felt that all the pores in his body were relaxed and he felt a cool sensation all over his body.
"Coral Green itself has a very strong detoxifying effect. If it is refined into Qingfeng Fuyue Powder, the medicinal power will be increased several times."
His eyes reflected Shanhu Qing's appearance, and Kong Jue grabbed in the air with his other hand.
He held in his hand the bright yellow jade slip with traces of time that he had just purchased from Xunyu Pavilion.
Before, Kong Ju only took a cursory glance at the jade slip in Xunyu Pavilion without looking at it in detail.
Now that I am going to refine Qingfeng Fuyue Powder, I naturally need to study it in detail.
Kong Ju waved his hand and used his spiritual power to condense a protective shield, carefully protecting the Coral Green inside to prevent its medicinal properties from dissipating.
On the other side, he maintained a cross-legged sitting posture, placed the jade slip of the elixir recipe with Qingfeng Fuyue San on his knees, and immersed his spiritual consciousness into the jade slip.
The jade slip contains densely packed records of the names of more than forty kinds of auxiliary medicines.
Kong Ju had seen these before purchasing them. He immediately glanced at them and looked at the text on the pill recipe that recorded the experience of refining left by the predecessors.
There are very few prescriptions for elixirs in the world today that contain these experiences.
In ancient times, alchemy recipes were passed down from master to disciple. In order to make it easier for their disciples, alchemists would leave written explanations to prevent their disciples from taking detours.
This was convenient for Kong Jue.
Scanned the words meticulously.
He gradually understood, and his eyes were filled with joy: "These experiences of the predecessors are all valuable. With these explanations, this furnace of Qingfeng Fuyue Powder will have a higher success rate."
There is only one Coral Green, and the refining of this batch of Qingfeng Fuyue Powder cannot allow even the slightest mistake.
So Kong Ju read it several times and rehearsed the refining process in his mind.
Half a day passed like this, until he had consumed all the experience left by his predecessors, and then he took his eyes away.
He secretly said: "This furnace of breeze will blow away the moon, and I will succeed!"
After saying that, Kong Ju turned to the description of the properties of this detoxifying pill.
The contents recorded in the jade slip were not much different from the medicinal properties of Qingfeng Fuyue Powder that You Peng had told him.
This third-grade detoxifying pill can indeed detoxify many poisons, including the poison of the Shangshen Powder that caused Ge Xia's death.
But the jade slip also said that for the poison above Zaoxuan, Qingfeng Fuyue San can only alleviate the toxicity but cannot eliminate it.
Kong Ju didn't care about this.
There is no Zaoxuan in the Xianyun Realm anymore. If I meet Zaoxuan, how can I be qualified to be poisoned by others?
I'm afraid it will be like the giant snake in Black Mountain, which will disappear after just one glare.
Besides, the poison of Zaoxuan is so powerful that anyone who comes into contact with it would die on the spot.
This Qingfeng Fuyuesan is only of the third grade, but it is already quite powerful in being able to relieve the Zaoxuan poison.
"It is worthy of the name of a third-grade holy medicine!" Kong Ju exclaimed.
In addition, there is another passage recorded at the end of the jade slip.
“Water benefits all things without competing with them, and nothing can compete with it.”
"Fighting poison with poison, using medicine to cure poison, is nothing more than using a spear to attack a shield, both are inferior methods."
"The breeze blowing the moon away does not remove the poison, but transforms it."
"To remove the poison from the body and turn it into something beneficial to the body is the highest virtue, like water."
Signed: Matsushita Sanren.
These words were clearly just words, but when Kong Jue read them, it seemed as if a clear and peaceful voice was echoing in his mind.
It caused his consciousness to flicker slightly and his face to become stiff.
Then a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes, as if he had realized something.
In Xunyu Pavilion, You Peng once said that Qingfeng Fuyue Powder can not only remove the poison, but also convert the poison into pure medicinal power for improving cultivation.
Kong Ju didn't believe it at first, but after reading this, he actually gained some trust.
"Detoxify!" Chewing these two words over and over in his mouth, Kong Ju couldn't help but sigh at the realm of the ancient alchemists.
It is unknown what level of master this alchemist named Songxia Sanren is.
It is unexpected that he could create such an amazing detoxification pill.
With just a few short sentences, it is likely that there is no alchemist who can match him in the vast Xianyun world.
Kong Ju couldn't help but look at the name of Songxia Sanren a few more times and silently memorized his name.
A master who can reach such a state.
If he encounters a related recipe in the future, Kong Ju will buy it no matter what. (End of this chapter)
