Fairy cage

Painful wails kept ringing in the alchemy room, making it seem that the alchemy room was not a place for alchemy, but a prison where people were tortured and interrogated, and where felons from the ferocious beasts were imprisoned.

For seven whole days and nights, Yu Lie stayed in the alchemy room, cutting off the limbs of the Shouwu enshrinement, almost chopping the opponent's entire body into firewood, and throwing it into the magma pool for burning.

At the end, only a cross-like torso remained above the huge bronze tripod. The old and withered face on it became weaker than ever before, but the look in its eyes was becoming more and more crazy and joyful. .

"Soon, soon! Pindao's batch of elixirs will be successful!"

Yu Lie was finally free at this time and could take a rest. He leaned against the wall, rubbing his arms while looking up at the huge bronze tripod.

After these days, his arms were sore from chopping wood, especially as he went further back, the body where the Shouwu was enshrined became harder, and even the grass sword made a gap when he cut it.

Fortunately, after cutting the opponent, the golden-red blood splashed out was full of spiritual energy, and he had the idea of ​​not wasting it.

In addition to secretly pocketing part of it, Yu Lie also absorbed it into the grass sword on the spot, and slowly repaired the grass sword, so that he could persevere.

But even so, his two grass swords were already in pieces. As soon as he finished working and removed the spiritual energy attached to them, they immediately broke into pieces.

Yu Lie lowered his head and glanced at the fragments of limbs at his feet, then looked expectantly at the Shouwu offering.

He secretly thought in his heart: "This person is willing to harm his own body to refine this pot of elixir. I wonder what kind of medicine is in it?"

At the moment, Yu Lie has no intention of taking a sip of the soup secretly. He still knows a little bit about himself. Such a precious medicine, Shouwu Enshrine will never let him, a little Taoist, have a chance to get involved.

Yu Lie was just curious and wanted to open his eyes and learn more.

But what disappointed Yu Lie was that as the vibrations in the three-story copper cauldron became stronger and stronger, and the strange fragrance filled the alchemy room, the withered human face attached to the copper cauldron turned his gaze towards Got him.

Shouwu worship makes a sound:

"Taoist disciple, this is enough for refining the elixir. Erpo has worked hard for the past seven days. It's time to go down!"

The other party is now going to blast Yu Lie away.

This made Yu Lie slightly startled, and there was inevitably a look of pity in his eyes.

The only thing that comforted him was that the Shouwu worshiper continued: "In three days, come back to the alchemy room, and I will lend you the earth fire for three days."

These words inspired Yu Lie, who immediately put away the pity in his eyes and bowed his hands towards the face on the bronze tripod:

"Yes, thank you so much, Taoist priest!"

Previously, Shouwu offered permission to lend Yu Lie and Miaomu earth fire to use, but the time did not specify how many days, so Yulie and Miaomu only imagined one day, and they used it together. One day.

As a result, as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he gave Yu Lie three days and let him use it alone, which was really an unexpected surprise.

"Three days are enough for me to use the earth's fire to draw fire into my body and polish my whole body! And staying alone in the alchemy room also makes it easier for me to make other preparations!"

With anticipation, Yu Lie did not dare to neglect, and after another salute, he respectfully left the alchemy room.

Outside the alchemy room, the situation in the pharmacy remained the same as before.

The shopkeeper on duty seemed to have no job at all. As soon as Yu Lie came out, the other party immediately jumped out and asked about Yu Lie.

There was a nervous look in the man's eyes, and he hurriedly lowered his voice and asked: "How is it? How is the progress of the Shouwu enshrinement alchemy, is it going to be completed?"

Seeing the appearance of the shopkeeper on duty, Yu Lie suspected that the other party might know what kind of elixir Shouwu was enshrining and refining, so he did not hide it.

Yu Lie nodded and answered.

He didn't say much, just hinted: "The worshiper asked me to come to the pharmacy to use the earth fire in three days."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper on duty immediately showed excitement on his face and whispered: "Very good!"

Yu Lie also spoke up and asked: "Brother Taoist, I am a poor Taoist and I can't recognize which treasure is being enshrined and refined. Brother Taoist, can you tell me?"

The shopkeeper on duty looked around, pondered, and suddenly took out a sound-isolating talisman from his hand and whispered: "Fellow Daoist Yu is not an outsider anyway, so it's okay to talk to you."

The spell took effect, wrapping the two people tightly in it. The other party lowered his head and said a few simple words to Yu Lie.

After hearing this, Yu Lie's eyes showed a look of surprise, and he thought in his heart: "It's actually this elixir that can restore essence and strengthen the body! No wonder Shouwu was enshrined in such a frantic and expectant way during the refining."

The Essence Rejuvenation and Strengthening Pill is a treasure medicine that can make up for the Taoist's shortcomings. It can repair the Taoist's body and prolong life. It is said that its effect is second only to the Sixth Grade Rejuvenation and Rejuvenation Pill. It is one of the Seventh Grade superior elixirs. There are even rumors that, Ordinary sixth-grade middle-level elixirs cannot compare with it.

This involves the grading of elixirs, which is quite complicated and deserves to be discussed in detail.

Because the current level of elixir practitioners in the Immortal Way is mainly determined based on the kind of living beings that can be most effective. Yu Lie is just getting started and doesn't know much about it.

But now he heard the shopkeeper on duty tell the name of the elixir refined by the Shouwu Enshrinement, and after confirming it a few times from the other person's mouth, he understood that this elixir for restoring essence and strengthening the body was indeed rare and valuable.

The medicinal effect of this elixir may not sound very outstanding, it is quite ordinary, but in actual use, it is rare and valuable.

Because the words "make up for the shortfall" and "prolong life" are superimposed, which means that if an old Taoist priest like Shouwu worships it, he can regain his vitality and have the opportunity to try to break through the seventh level and advance to the sixth level!

Yu Lie exclaimed in admiration: "With this opportunity, I will definitely be able to continue my path, and it is very possible to achieve the sixth level in the future!"

The shopkeeper on duty looked excited and looked forward to it. He said:

"The Shouwu worship has been preparing for this medicine for many years. In fact, in terms of medicinal materials, they have almost been prepared early in the morning. The reason why it has not been refined is that in addition to the concerns about the craftsmanship of the medicine, the more important thing is that the worshiper feels that his own medicine When I have bad luck, I always want to choose a good and auspicious day to start the furnace again.”

As the other party spoke, he glanced at Yu Lie with a smile in his eyes: "Now when I see a Taoist friend coming to the door with the most suitable medicinal introduction of Chizhen Secret Sand, I feel that the Taoist friend's luck is very good, so I just made the decision. I was determined to start the furnace, and I specially asked fellow Taoists to accompany me."

A few days ago, this person had made some insinuations and already knew some of the reasons why the remaining columns of Shouwu were so important.

Hearing these words, Yu Lie's eyes became strange. He didn't expect that he was regarded as a "mascot" by the other party.

He also secretly pinched his sleeves and whispered in his heart: "Is it because of this that the old guy turned a blind eye to my petty theft in the alchemy room?"

After thinking about it for a few times, Yu Lie couldn't tell whether it was true or false, so he didn't bother to think about it anymore.

After continuing to chat with the shopkeeper on duty in the pharmacy for a while, he left the pharmacy and rushed to his sister-in-law's cage house.

When I returned to the cage house, it was still empty.

But the note that Yu Lie had left in the cage house was gone, and the entire house had been cleaned up. It looked completely different from the previous layout and messy scene.

After Yu Lie entered the door, he thought he had entered the wrong house.

He walked around the house a few times, thinking in his mind: "This is a direct renovation, does it count as a step out?"

It's a pity that the sister-in-law is still not in the cage house, leaving only a fresh fragrance that fills the house, making Yu Lie feel like he is in a lightly cooked wheat field.

There was no one in the house, and Yu Liede continued to enjoy the spiritual energy in the house alone. He was also happy and at ease.

Taking advantage of the arrangement in the house, Yu Lie cleaned up quickly and released the myna who had been locked in the piglet bag for many days to let him breathe.

At this point, one person and one bird stayed in this unfamiliar cage house and began their daily practice.

After three days, Yu Lie unexpectedly discovered that just by being close to Earth Fire and refining the elixir for seven days and seven nights, the originally impetuous Qi in his body had already been polished to a certain extent.

After thinking about the reason carefully, he realized that it was because he had not rested much for seven days and seven nights and had been using spells. It was also because he was close to the ground fire and the firepower penetrated into his body.

The latter undoubtedly made Yu Lie full of expectations for the "Earth Fire Body Refining" line.

So he rested in the cage for three days. When the time came, he couldn't wait to rush to the pharmacy to start his journey of earth fire body refining!

………………

After coming to the pharmacy again and meeting with the shopkeeper and others on duty, Yu Lie did not see Shouwu worshiping again.

However, the other party had already vacated the alchemy room and ordered the people in the pharmacy to allow Yu Lie to enter and stay there for three days. It proved that the other party's alchemy was indeed successful, and there was no mistake in the last step.

When Yu Lie entered the Earth Fire Alchemy Room, the tall copper tripod originally placed in the magma pool had disappeared, and the layers of iron chains had also disappeared. Only the nine gold and iron dragon heads that breathed fire were still there. It continuously spits out red magma.

With the heavy stone door closed, only one person was left in the Earth Fire Alchemy Room, making it even more empty.

Surrounded by thick stone doors and formations, even if a sixth-grade Taoist priest came from outside, they would not be able to pry open the alchemy room for a while, let alone watch and eavesdrop.

However, being cautious, Yu Lie's first step after closing the door was to walk around the corner of the alchemy room and put up a charm every foot to block out prying eyes and serve as a warning.

Once an outsider's energy or spiritual consciousness invades, these spells will spontaneously ignite and take effect.

In addition, Yu Lie walked to the edge of the fire pool and set up the tent that he had obtained from killing the old man named Ye last time.

After performing the "Tent Setup Technique", he walked to the blood vessel tent, took out a charm with a painful expression on his face, and turned it into a thick mist that filled the tent.

This is the seventh-grade talisman that Yu Lie spent a lot of money to buy in Tao City. Its effect is enough to block the spiritual consciousness of the sixth-grade Taoist priest. Of course, it can only block the secret prying eyes of the sixth-grade Taoist priests. If the other party insists on looking, it can only serve as a reminder to the user, delaying it for only a few breaths.

However, this is enough for Yu Lie, and this charm is better than ordinary. Its effect is no different from ordinary confusion charms in terms of appearance, and it will not attract the attention of others. .

After preparing these, Yu Lie just sat down cross-legged and began his journey of refining his body with earth fire!

His next move was not to put himself into the magma and swallow the fire in the pool. Instead, he took out a few specially-made talisman from his sleeves and arranged them according to the rules of the Nine Palaces and Bagua. Near the nine dragon heads, three spiritual stones were placed on each talisman.

In just three days, it is impossible for a Taoist disciple to polish off nearly ten years of Qi. It is impossible for any Taoist disciple.

Yu Lie came to the Earth Fire Alchemy Room not to practice hard training. What was more important was to bring fire into his body, using the environment and the constant fire energy to make his body withstand the roasting of the Earth Fire, and to fill the spiritual stone with the Earth Fire. Qi is used for practicing and polishing after leaving the alchemy room.

Generally speaking, the more spiritual stones a Taoist uses for extradition, the better. If prepared properly, there will be no need to enter the Earth Fire Alchemy Room again even during the entire Taoist disciple stage.

In addition to using spiritual stones, there are many other methods that can play the same or even more effective role.

Yu Lie had another solution in hand.

After placing the fire spirit stone, he took out the yellow gourd from his waist and placed it directly under the opening of a dragon head.

Gurgling, he opened the stopper and collected the magma spit out from the faucet.

The fire liquid gourd is resistant to high temperatures and can occasionally be used as an alchemy furnace. This item is undoubtedly suitable for directly storing earth fire magma!

It's just that the earth fire is extraordinary. After being stored, the gourd material and the runes inside will be destroyed, and the service life will be greatly reduced, and it will be completely scrapped in a year or even half a year.

Fortunately, Yu Lie got this thing cheaply, so he didn't feel any pain at all when using it. It was most worthwhile to use it to hold earth fire.

Yu Lie placed the gourd under the dragon's mouth and watched for a while. After confirming that the gourd could be used to store the earth fire magma, he returned to the tent.

He meditated and adjusted his breath. After a cup of tea, the zhenqi in his body boiled, and he began to continuously capture the earth fire energy from around him and pump it into his body, officially starting the earth fire practice.

Before going through the "change of water and fire", Yu Lie did not dare to drink the magma directly, but around him, the energy of earth and fire gathered, and clusters of flames also condensed, attached to his body surface, and followed He moved with his breathing, moving inch by inch toward the two orifices between his nose.

One hour, two hours...

Eighteen hours passed, and as Yu Lie's breathing was stagnant, the light of fire flickered, and thick sulfurous fire gas was spraying out.

This earth fire body refining is considered a success!
