Godly Immortality: Start with the Butcher and add some Immortality!

Three days later.

At this moment, dozens of feet underground, the appearance had already changed drastically.

Wei Hong walked down the passage. The temperature became higher and higher as he went down, but he seemed unaware of it. His face was extremely calm, and he soon arrived in front of a black stone door.

He slowly pushed open the stone door and walked straight in.

After entering, the heat wave that was originally blowing in the face was directly isolated behind the stone gate and could not have any impact on the inside. It seemed that the inside and outside of the stone gate were two different worlds.

What appeared in front of Wei Hong at this time was a ten-zhang wide underground secret room. The four walls of this secret room, including the floor and ceiling, were all made of the same black rock as the gate.

This black rock is called basalt.

Basalt has a very special effect, which is the ability to completely isolate heat. Therefore, this kind of basalt has become an excellent material for major sects to build various alchemy rooms under the Earth's Lung Fire Vein. Wei Hong had prepared some of it in the Immortal City that day, and it came in handy at this moment.

By building this alchemy room with basalt, he doesn't have to worry about being affected by the underground fire.

On the left side of this alchemy room, there are two four-layer stone shelves, and next to the stone shelves is a smooth stone table that is ten feet long and three feet high. These things were made by Wei Hong using local materials and are very simple.

In the center of the alchemy room, there is an area surrounded by basalt bricks and stones. This area is about ten feet square, with eight downward steps on all four sides. Below the steps is a layer of red rock, five feet square, with a dragon head connected to the red rock in the middle. The dragon head is about one foot high and is made of basalt all over. It does not look exquisite, but it looks very similar to the divine. The dragon head's mouth is open upwards, and there are some complex divine patterns carved around it.

This dragon head is the underground fire mouth he created, and the area where the underground fire mouth is located is the alchemy area.

Wei Hong walked to the alchemy area and reached out to touch the storage room. A one-foot-high alchemy furnace appeared in his hand. He then threw it lightly and released a stream of spiritual power. The alchemy furnace immediately became more than seven feet high and landed steadily above the dragon head with a clang. The three legs of the alchemy furnace also landed around the dragon head.

At this moment, this second-grade mid-grade Dragon-Tiger Bagua Furnace was fully displayed in front of him.

This is a two-ear and three-legged alchemy furnace. It is bronze in color and looks quite simple and rustic. The furnace body is divided into two layers, the upper one is small and the lower one is large. Both layers of the furnace body are cylindrical, just like a gourd.

The body of the furnace is carved with exquisite and complex patterns. The patterns are winding and tortuous, and seem to contain unspeakable mysterious power. There is a winding five-clawed golden dragon in front of the furnace body, and a gorgeous tiger on the back. Around the dragon and tiger are also carved the patterns of the Eight Diagrams and some complicated runes.

The top of the stove is a hemispherical cover with exquisitely decorated edges. Circles of patterns ripple like water waves, which looks very beautiful.

On the front of the furnace, right in the center of the five-clawed golden dragon, is a round furnace door.

The alchemy furnace now stood on three legs, and each leg was carved into the shape of an animal's claw, firmly grasping the ground, appearing extremely stable.

Next to Wei Hong, there was a stone table with a white jade array plate on it and a low-grade spirit stone inlaid in the middle of the plate.

He came here this time just to start practicing alchemy.

"Let's try it first, get a feel for it, and familiarize ourselves with the second-level pill formula."

Wei Hong stretched out his hand and waved, and more than twenty boxes were placed side by side on the stone table.

At this time, he sent a stream of spiritual power to the white jade array plate on the table, and with a slight pinch of his fingers, the dragon head under the alchemy furnace immediately spewed out a thick red flame, tightly wrapping the bottom of the alchemy furnace.

While the furnace was warming up, Wei Hong waved his hand and opened the lids of all the boxes, revealing the magical flowers and herbs inside, as well as some magical fruits or rhizome-like materials.

Then he took out more than twenty five-inch-high white jade bottles from his storage bag and placed them in convenient locations.

After the alchemy furnace was heated up, Wei Hong picked up a Tianhai flower and threw it directly into the round furnace door.

This is the first step in alchemy, refining the materials, that is, extracting the essence of these spiritual flowers and herbs and burning out all the impurities.

After the Tianhai flower was thrown into the alchemy furnace, he immediately controlled the array plate to increase the temperature and began to calcine it with a high fire in order to burn all the impurities in the Tianhai flower.

Slowly, as the temperature rose sharply, the surface of the Tianhai flower began to turn brown, and the petals curled up, then slowly burned into ashes and fell directly to the bottom of the furnace.

Wei Hong was constantly controlling the temperature of the fire and observing the situation inside the furnace at any time.

In less than a cup of tea, the Tianhai flower was completely burned out, leaving only a thumb-sized pile of blue powder, which was the extracted essence of the Tianhai flower.

Seeing this, he immediately reduced the heat a little, then stretched out his hand, sent out a stream of spiritual power to gently wrap up the small pile of blue powder and took it out, then immediately picked up a white jade bottle, controlled the spiritual power to put all the blue powder into the jade bottle.

Boo!

He gently put the cork back on the bottle and put it aside, ignoring it.

Then Wei Hong picked up another snow jade grass and threw it into the alchemy furnace again to continue refining it.

Purple salvia miltiorrhiza.

Star spirit grass.

Stephania macrophylla.

Yunlin flower.

One after another, magical flowers and herbs were thrown into the alchemy furnace and were continuously refined into essence. Then, Wei Hong took them out and placed them in a white jade plate, waiting for subsequent processing.

What he tried to refine this time was the Yuhua Pill.

Just the first step of purification and refining took him nearly three hours.

After putting the essence of the last spiritual herb into the jade bottle, Wei Hong couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This second-level elixir is indeed much more complicated than the first-level elixir, and the difficulty is also much higher. If it is not directly upgraded to the Great Perfection Realm, just this first step of refining the materials may take two or three years of practice to achieve stable purification. No wonder alchemy is the most resource-consuming skill among the four arts of cultivation."

After trying to refine second-level pills, Wei Hong finally understood why many cultivators were unable to choose the skill of alchemy. It was not only because they lacked talent, but also because alchemy was too expensive. Without strong financial support, it would be extremely difficult to become an alchemist of the second level or above.

Putting aside other things, the consumption of alchemy materials alone is enough to stop most cultivators in their tracks.

Once a furnace of pills is wasted, it means that all the materials are wasted. If you want to continue practicing, you have to keep investing until you have consumed countless materials and truly mastered the alchemy technique.

"Luckily I don't need to do this, otherwise I wouldn't be able to handle it no matter how many spirit stones I have!"

Wei Hong sighed secretly in his heart, and then began to proceed to the next step of refining the elixir.
