Fight to break the sky

In the narrow cave, the flames in the medicine cauldron reflected on the mountain wall, beating with fangs and claws.

Xiao Yan concentrated on the churning flames in the medicine cauldron. His slightly pale face was covered with beads of sweat. Refining medicine for a long time was an extremely consuming work, and Xiao Yan's skills at this time were even worse. It's just that the lowest Huang level has no advantage in terms of strength and durability. Therefore, it is not easy for him to persist in refining medicine in front of the medicine cauldron for nearly two hours.

Squinting his eyes slightly, he watched Xiao Yan successfully refine the blood coagulation grass into white powder again. Knowing that he had reached the limit, Yao Lao nodded slightly and said softly: "Okay, let's rest for a while."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's shoulders that were trying to maintain balance suddenly fell down, and his body seemed to have lost all strength. He lay softly on the cold ground, panting heavily, his chest heaving constantly, and his whole body was sore and numb. He was too lazy to move a finger now.

"Practice at this time is most effective."

Glancing at Xiao Yan, who was lying on the ground like soft mud, Yao Lao said calmly.

After a moment of battle between laziness and diligence in his heart, Xiao Yan had no choice but to sit up and wail with great reluctance, put his trembling hands into practice mudras, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, Yao Lao smiled and turned his attention to the dozen jade boxes placed in front of the medicine cauldron. The jade boxes were filled with pale white powder extracted from the coagulation grass. , these are the results of Xiao Yan's previous efforts.

Looking at the jade boxes from left to right, the light white color becomes more and more intense. When the last jade box was obtained, the white powder in it almost reached a pure white texture.

Looking at this extremely obvious progress, Yao Lao nodded in amazement, and once again praised Xiao Yan's outstanding soul perception in his heart.

Glancing at Xiao Yan who was recovering his fighting spirit, Yao Lao was leaning against the stone wall with his legs crossed, closing his eyes leisurely to rest. Xiao Yan had just refined the first material, and there were two more, waiting for him to work hard.

…

After closing his eyes and recuperating for nearly an hour, the cyclone in Xiao Yan's body that had become dim due to the exhaustion of fighting energy finally emitted a bright luster again, and this time the halo seemed to be brighter than a few hours ago. A little brighter.

Slowly opening his eyes, the numb and numb feeling throughout his body was mostly gone. He twisted his neck, and the sound of bones colliding made Xiao Yan let out a sigh of relief.

"Have you cultivated yourself? Let's continue." Opening his eyes and looking at Xiao Yan who became lively again, Yao Lao said with a smile.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head. After the painful process of refining the medicine before, Xiao Yan finally understood that he had been deceived by Yao Lao. In the past, when Yao Lao was refining medicine, he just stretched out his palm and burned it casually, which made countless people crazy. The elixir came out of the furnace hot. Such a simple process also left Xiao Yan with the impression that refining the elixir was extremely easy. But now that he had made the elixir himself, he realized that this thing was even more difficult than working hard to move ore. tired.

Now that I understood it, it seemed a bit late, so Xiao Yan had no choice but to sigh depressedly, sit in front of the medicine cauldron again, and began to refine the essence of the other two medicinal materials.

With the previous experience of refining blood coagulation grass, Xiao Yan was obviously much more relaxed this time. After burning eight vital energy fruits and ten poppy flowers, he finally successfully extracted the configuration from the two medicinal materials. Something you need for a healing potion.

What is extracted from the vitality fruit is a kind of slightly black fine particles. These fine particles have the effect of removing congestion and activating blood circulation. In the wild, some experienced injured mercenaries often use it if they do not have enough healing medicine. Twist the vitality fruit into minced meat and use it to relieve injuries.

Extracted from poppy flowers, it is a light red liquid. This liquid has the effect of paralyzing nerves and can be used for pain relief.

Looking at the three medicines neatly placed in front of Xiao Yan, Yao Lao nodded slightly and said softly: "The required materials have been extracted. Now, let's fuse their medicinal powers together. This is refining. In medicine, the most important step.”

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan nodded solemnly, skillfully threw the pure white powder into the medicine cauldron, and then smoked it with warm fire for about ten minutes. After the pure white powder turned slightly red, Quickly pour the poppy liquid into it.

As soon as the liquid entered the medicine cauldron, it was wrapped in pure white powder and rolled slightly in the flames. The two gradually merged into a light red viscous liquid.

The soul's perception worked hard to control the temperature of the flame, slowly roasting the light red viscous liquid.

Under the continuous burning of the flames, the viscous liquid gradually turned into a dark red paste shape.

Staring at the dark red paste in the medicine cauldron from the transparent mirror, Xiao Yan hesitated slightly and threw the small black particles of the Vitality Fruit into it.

The small black particles entered the medicine cauldron, but there was no change. The large group of small particles bounced back and forth in the flames, but they refused to merge into the dark red paste as expected.

"Various materials have different resistance to temperature, so you must learn to control the flame temperature anywhere in the tripod at will. Where low temperature is needed, you have to suppress the flame. Where high temperature is needed, you have to Let go of the suppression and increase the temperature of the flame..." Looking at Xiao Yan who was sweating profusely with anxiety, Yao Lao said calmly.

Licking his dry lips, Xiao Yan nodded, quickly separated out a bunch of soul perception, and worked hard to control the flames under the tiny particles to slowly increase the temperature.

"Bang..."

As the soul's perception released its suppression of temperature, a cluster of uncontrollable flames suddenly shot up. In just a moment, a small half of the black particles were burned into ashes. Xiao Yan, who was so frightened that he was sweating coldly, hurriedly suppressed it with all his strength. .

The soul's perception must maintain the temperature of the flame on one side, and on the other hand, increase the temperature of the flame on the other side. This dual-purpose requirement really gives Xiao Yan a headache.

However, after several dangerous situations, Xiao Yan finally calmed down from the rush, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, and poured all the fighting energy left in his body into the mouth of the fire.

Within the medicine cauldron, the tiny black particles finally exploded under the increasing temperature, and handfuls of black powder slowly floated into the ball of light red paste. The color of the person is dyed darker...

When the last handful of black powder floated into the paste, Xiao Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, and his palm slowly left the mouth of the fire. As Xiao Yan withdrew his palm, the flame in the medicine cauldron gradually extinguished. .

Looking at Xiao Yan who was panting, Yao Lao smiled slightly, waved his palm, and the lid of the medicine cauldron flew down. With a move of his right hand, a large ball of deep red paste in the cauldron leaped out of the air, and finally levitated. Half empty in the cave.

Glancing at the crimson paste exuding a strong medicinal smell, Yao Lao cut it out of thin air with his palm. As he waved his palm, the continuously flowing crimson paste was divided into at least hundreds of tiny pieces. liquid.

Taking the Najie from Xiao Yan with one hand, Yao Lao flicked his fingers, and hundreds of small jade bottles suddenly filled the narrow cave.

After placing the jade bottle, Yao Lao waved his hand casually, and the paste liquid in mid-air fell accurately into the jade bottle.

Taking a jade bottle casually, Yao Lao handed it to Xiao Yan with a smile, and said with a joking smile: "Congratulations, you succeeded in refining medicine for the first time!"

Xiao Yan eagerly took the jade bottle and looked at the not very pure crimson liquid inside, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and pride in his heart.

"Hey, from now on, I can be regarded as an alchemist!"
