A Mortal's Story of Cultivation into Immortality

(Looks like we have to stay up late tonight. We are really speechless! Woohoo! We don’t want to be a night owl!)

"Hee hee! Okay, okay! I'll make some arrangements for my junior brother right now!" The ugly man became elated when he saw that what Han Li gave him was actually a mid-level spiritual stone.

You know, although exchanging one hundred low-level spiritual stones for one mid-level spiritual stone is a recognized exchange rate in the world of immortality. But in fact, very few people are willing to exchange mid-level spiritual stones for low-level spiritual stones.

Because everyone knows that under the same circumstances, the speed of spiritual energy that mid-level spiritual stones can absorb is much faster than that of low-level spiritual stones. Based on this alone, everyone wants to keep mid-level spiritual stones, and naturally they are not very interested in low-level spiritual stones.

Of course, the same is true for the exchange of upper-level spiritual stones for intermediate-level spiritual stones.

After the ugly man took the fire-attribute spirit stone with a smile on his face, he became even more attentive to Han Li. He immediately led Han Li to the huge multi-colored stone door, took out a purple arrow-shaped object from his arms, and pointed it at the stone door.

The red light on the purple arrow flashed, and a ray of glow flew out from it, hitting the door accurately, causing the colorful stream of light to spin rapidly. As a result, after several loud "creak" and "creak" sounds, the stone door slowly rose up, revealing a black passage behind the door. This passage is about ten feet high and square in shape.

"Junior brother, after passing this stone path, there is a room with a ground fire. Let's go there now!" The ugly man forced out a smile and said to Han Li in a flattering manner.

"Yes!" Han Li nodded noncommittally and walked into the passage first.

"Although this dock stone is not a rare thing, it is not an ordinary material in the world. It is possible to find so many at once and use them as bricks to build passages and houses. This is because of the great efforts of several great masters of supernatural powers in the past generation. We're done. However, relying on the high temperature resistance of the dock stone and the weird characteristics of being smelted by the earth fire, there has never been any major accidents in this land of earth fire since its opening!" The ugly man led the way, Said a bit show off.

Han Li was very interested after hearing this and couldn't help but touch the black stone wall on one side with his hands. The result was that it was smooth and cold!

"Where did this dock stone come from? It's really strange that it can withstand earth fire that is three times more powerful than real fire." Han Li agreed in a rare voice and asked casually.

"What about this? I heard that although it is not too rare, our Yue country does not produce this thing. The ancestors got it from other countries in the far west. It is very troublesome!" The ugly man explained. .

In this way, Han Li followed the ugly man, and in the blink of an eye, he passed two other equally tall stone doors, and finally walked out of the dock stone passage and appeared in an oversized rotunda hall.

This hall is also made of dock stones, but it is forty to fifty feet in diameter and more than ten feet high. It is really huge and shocking! Around the hall, white stone doors of the same size are evenly distributed, with more than thirty rooms in total.

At this time, there was no one in the hall, except for Chou Han and Han Li, who had just arrived.

After Han Li looked around curiously, he heard the ugly man say with a smile:

"Under this hall is the gathering place where the Earth Fire is the strongest, so our sect has opened a total of thirty-six Earth Fire Rooms for refining weapons and alchemy, and the best alchemy rooms are No. 18 and No. 19.

However, No. 18 is already occupied by a junior uncle, so Junior Brother should use room No. 19! Although it is slightly inferior to the No. 18, its firepower and stability are also extremely good. "The ugly man said with a grin as he led Han Li to a door with two golden words "Nineteen" painted on it.

Han Li was speechless after hearing this, and nodded silently to express his agreement.

Seeing this, the ugly man immediately took out a white jade sign and stuck it on the door, and the white stone door opened automatically. Then, Chou Han and Han Li entered the room.

This house is a square building with an average area, only seven or eight feet in size. However, there is a round box about ten feet wide in the center of the house. There are also fist-sized gourds hanging on each of the four walls. There is also a gourd in the corner not far away. Emerald green futon.

Yuandun is also made of dock stone, very flat, only half a foot high. But on the outside of the circle, eight fiery red mini dragon heads are inlaid, which are lifelike. Moreover, the mouth of the dragon's head is slightly raised, aiming right at the sky above the center of Yuandun, making a spitting gesture, which is very realistic.

After seeing the situation in the room clearly, Han Li was slightly surprised, but before he could ask, the ugly man had already walked to Yuan Dun and took the initiative to explain to Han Li.

"Junior brother, this is the earth fire outlet in this room. The earth fire required for alchemy is ejected from these eight dragon heads. And according to the needs, you can also adjust the size and height of the flame. The specific driving method is engraved on The outer wall of the stone pier is up." The ugly man pointed at Yuandun and explained.

But then he pointed to the four gourds on the wall and said:

"These gourds are filled with Mars sand, which can temporarily strengthen the power of the earth fire. If the junior brother feels that the temperature of the earth fire is not enough, he can use this to temporarily increase the power, but it will not last too long. In addition, this jade tablet Junior brother, please keep it away by yourself. Once the door of the house is closed, all contact with the outside world will be cut off. Unless several monks in the alchemy stage work together, no one can enter from the outside, so junior brother, don't worry, no one will disturb you!"

After hearing this, Han Li was secretly happy. Such a completely closed environment was exactly what he needed, and he couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face!

At this time, the ugly man saw that the explanation was almost finished, so he wisely said goodbye and left.

Han Li watched the ugly man leave the house, and immediately activated the jade sign to seal the stone door again. Then he walked excitedly to Yuandun, walked around it several times, and carefully looked at the eight spitting dragon heads.

In the past few years, Han Li spent a lot of time studying the art of alchemy in order to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill this time. Therefore, he is not unfamiliar with the method of alchemy. Knowing whether the elixir is successful or not depends mainly on the control of the fire when refining the elixir and the timing of opening the furnace to take the elixir.

As for the ingredients and quantities of raw materials, they have been clearly stated in the formula through countless practices by our ancestors, so there is no need to consider them. Of course, it is okay to increase or decrease the number of elixirs produced at one time appropriately. Just increase or decrease the quantity of raw materials according to a fixed proportion.

But it sounds simple, but it is extremely difficult to do!

Accurately controlling the temperature of the alchemy furnace and timing the opening of the furnace are two major problems that have stumped many so-called alchemy masters.

Even the most famous alchemy masters in the world have to admit that even if they personally take action, the probability of being able to make an elixir is not too high, only about half. This is still refining the elixir they are best at. Therefore, let alone other ordinary alchemists!

Therefore, whether the elixir can be successfully made depends on the experience of the alchemist. The more times an alchemist refines elixirs, the greater the chance of achieving an elixir. Therefore, alchemists are the two most expensive professions in the world of immortality, along with Talisman Makers, and are certainly the two most popular professions.

Han Li inquired about these things very clearly, and knew that it was just a dream for him, a rookie, to be able to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill in one go. So he had planned it from the beginning, preparing to refine the Foundation Establishment Pills one by one!

In this way, no matter how many times he fails, he will not be too heartbroken. The amount of elixir he prepared can be refined more than a hundred times. I believe that these many raw materials are enough for him to accumulate experience in the future.

Han Li made up his mind and wrote down the method of driving the dragon head. Then he squeezed the magic technique with his hands and shot eight red lights in succession on the dragon's head. The dragon's head immediately absorbed the red light, and then the dragon's mouth opened slightly and sprayed out purple flames as thick as chopsticks. Suddenly, the air in the room was filled with scorching heat, which surprised Han Li secretly.

Later, Han Li tried more subtle operations such as changing the thickness of the flames and the height of the spray from the dragon's head. Only when he was able to control it freely did he extinguish the fire from the dragon's head. Then, he walked to the futon and sat cross-legged to recharge his batteries.

Han Li sat here for most of the day. After realizing that his mental and physical strength were in optimal condition, he opened his eyes and stood up, ready to start refining the elixir. However, fortunately, Han Li's Kung Fu had passed the tenth level and he was already able to live without food, so he didn't need to eat.

Now, Han Li took out the silver cauldron he bought that day from his storage bag and cast a levitation spell on it, making it stop directly above Yuan Dun out of thin air. This spell was specially practiced by Han Li for today's event, and he spent a lot of time on it.

Han Li fired red light at the dragon's head again, stimulating the purple earth fire in the dragon's head.

Because no raw materials had been put into the cauldron, Han Li controlled the ground fire to make it very small, only as thick as silk thread. Then the silver-wire cauldron began to slowly rotate out of thin air under the preheating of the eight lines of fire.

After a quarter of an hour, the silver tripod was already hot, emitting an astonishing high temperature.

Seeing this, Han Li pointed at the small cauldron. As a result, the lid of the silver-wire cauldron immediately flew up, revealing the mouth of the cauldron. With a move of his right hand, a white jade bottle appeared in his hand. The bottle contained a precise amount of elixir powder that had been prepared.

Controlling the vial, Han Li poured all the medicinal powder in the vial into the silver cauldron, then immediately threw the vial away, took out another vial from the storage bag, and continued to repeat the same action.

In this way, Han Li poured all the dozens of elixir powders he needed into the silver cauldron, and finally put the lid back on. The first step was finally completed, it seemed perfect, and nothing went wrong.
