"Hee hee! Alright, alright! I'll make arrangements for my junior!" The ugly man was elated when he saw that what Han Li gave was a mid-level spirit stone.
You must know that although it is said that one hundred low-level spirit stones can be exchanged for one middle-level spirit stone, it is a recognized exchange rate in the world of immortality, but in fact, very few people are willing to exchange middle-level spirit stones for low-level spirit stones.
Because everyone knows that under the same circumstances, the spiritual energy that can be absorbed by mid-level spirit stones is much faster than that of low-level spirit stones. Based on this point, everyone wants to keep middle-level spirit stones, so naturally they don't pay much attention to low-level spirit stones.
Of course, the same is true for the exchange of high-level spirit stones for middle-level spirit stones.
After the ugly man took the fire-attribute spirit stone with a smile on his face, he became even more courteous to Han Li. He immediately led Han Li to the huge five-colored stone gate, and took out a purple arrow-like object from his pocket, aiming at the stone gate with a wave.
There was a flash of red light on the purple arrow, and a glow shot out from it, and it hit the door accurately, causing the colorful streamer to spin rapidly. As a result, after several loud noises of "creak" and "creak", the stone door slowly rose up, revealing a black passage behind the door. This channel is about ten feet high and square in shape.
"Junior Brother, after passing the stone road, we will find the room with the ground fire, let's go there now!" The ugly man said to Han Li flatteringly after squeezing out a few smiles.
"En!" Han Li nodded noncommittally, and walked into the passage first.
"Although this dockstone is not a rare thing, it is not a common material in the world. You can find so many at once. And use it as bricks and stones to build passages and houses. This is also the ancestors of the previous generations. It's a great success. However, relying on the high temperature resistance of the dock stone and the strange characteristics of not being afraid of being smelted by the earth fire, there has never been any major accident since the opening of the earth fire place!" The ugly man led the way in front, Said with a bit of show off.
Han Li was very interested. I couldn't help but touched the black stone wall on one side, and it turned out to be creamy and cold!
"Where is this dockstone produced? It's really strange that it can resist an earth fire that is three times stronger than a real fire." Han Li agreed in a rare way, and asked casually.
"What about this? I heard that although it is not a rare item, our country of Yue really does not produce this item. It is all obtained by the masters from other countries in the far west. It is very troublesome!" The ugly man explained. .
Just like that, Han Li followed behind the ugly man, and passed two other equally tall stone gates in the blink of an eye. Finally, he walked out of the dock stone passage and appeared in a very large round hall.
This hall is also built of dock stone. But forty or 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, there are more than 30 of them.
At this time, there was no one in the hall, only the ugly man and Han Li who had just arrived.
Han Li looked around curiously. Then I heard the ugly man grinning and said: "Under this hall is the gathering place where the local fire is the most vigorous, so our sect has opened a total of 36 ground fire rooms for refining equipment and alchemy, and the best alchemy room is eighteen. Number and nineteen.
However, No. 18 has already been occupied by an uncle, so the younger brother should use room No. 19! Although it is slightly inferior to No. 18, its firepower and stability are also excellent. "The ugly man led Han Li as he spoke, and walked to a door with two golden lacquered characters "Nineteen", and said with a grin.
After hearing this, Han Li said nothing, but nodded silently, expressing his agreement.
Seeing this, the ugly man immediately took out a white jade plaque and stuck it on the door. The white stone door opened automatically. Then, the ugly man and Han Li entered the room.
The house is a square building. The area is average, only about seven to eight feet in size, but there is a round bun with a width of about ten feet in the center of the room, a fist-sized gourd is hung on each of the four walls, and there is an emerald green futon in the corner not far away.
Yuan Dun is also made of dock stone, very flat, only half a foot high. But on the outside of Yuandun, there are eight fiery red miniature dragon heads inlaid, which are lifelike. Moreover, the mouth of the dragon's head is slightly raised, just aiming at the sky above the center of Yuandun, and it is in a breathing posture, which is very realistic.
After seeing the situation in the room clearly, Han Li was a little surprised, but before he could ask, the ugly man had already walked to the vicinity of Yuan Dun and started to explain to Han Li.
"Junior brother, this is the ground fire mouth of this house. The ground fire needed for alchemy is ejected from these eight dragon heads. And according to the needs, the size and height of the flame can be adjusted by yourself. The specific driving method is engraved in It's on the outer wall of the stone pier." The ugly man pointed to Yuan Dun's explanation.
But then he pointed to the four gourds on the wall and said: "These gourds are filled with Martian sand, which can temporarily strengthen the power of the ground fire. If the younger brother feels that the temperature of the ground fire is not enough, the power of the increase is only for the duration." It won't be too long. In addition, junior brother should keep this jade card away by himself. Once the door of the house is closed, all contact with the outside world will be cut off. Unless several alchemy monks work together, no one can enter from the outside, so junior brother Don't worry, no one will disturb you!"
Hearing this, Han Li was secretly happy. Such a completely closed environment was just what he needed, and he couldn't help showing a little bit of joy on his face!
At this time, the ugly man saw that the explanation was almost finished, so he took his leave and left.
Han Li watched the ugly man leave the house, and immediately activated the jade tablet to seal the stone door again. Then excitedly walked to Yuan Dun, walked around it several times, and carefully looked at the eight breathing dragon heads.
In the past few years, Han Li has spent a lot of time researching the art of alchemy for the purpose of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. Therefore, he is not unfamiliar with the way of alchemy. Knowing whether the pill is successful or not depends mainly on the temperature control during alchemy and the timing of opening the furnace to take the pill.
As for the ingredients and quantity of the raw materials, it has been clearly stated in the formula after countless times of practice by the ancestors, so there is no need to think about it. Of course, it is possible to appropriately increase or decrease the number of dans at a time. Just increase or decrease the amount of raw materials according to a fixed ratio.
But it's easy to say, but hard to do!
How many so-called masters of alchemy have been baffled by these two problems of accurately controlling the temperature of the alchemy furnace and the timing of opening the furnace.
Even the most famous masters of alchemy in the world have to admit that even if they do it themselves, the probability of making alchemy is not too high, only about half, and this is still their best alchemy. So let alone other ordinary alchemists!
Therefore, whether the pill can be successfully refined depends on the experience of the alchemist. The more alchemists who practice alchemy more often, the higher their chances of alchemy will be. Therefore, the alchemist is the two most expensive occupations in the world of immortality, and of course the two most popular occupations, on par with the talisman maker.
Han Li was quite clear about these things after inquiring. He knew that with a rookie like himself, it was purely a dream to be able to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill in one go. So he planned it from the beginning, preparing to refine the Foundation Establishment Pills one by one!
In this way, no matter how many times he failed before, he would not be too heartbroken. And the amount of elixir he prepared is enough to refine more than a hundred times. I believe that such a large amount of raw materials is enough for him to accumulate experience in the past.
After making up his mind, Han Li memorized the driving method of the dragon head. Then he squeezed the formula with his hands, and shot eight red lights in a row on the dragon's head. The dragon's head immediately absorbed the red light, and then the dragon's mouth opened slightly, spraying out purple flames as thick as chopsticks. Immediately, the air in the room was filled with scorching heat, which surprised Han Li secretly.
Afterwards, Han Li tried to change the thickness of the flame and the height of the dragon head's spray, and other subtle operations, until he was able to control it freely, and then extinguished the ground fire of the dragon head. Then, he went to the futon and lay down cross-legged to recharge his batteries.
Han Li sat for half a day, and only after he felt that his mental and physical strength were at their best, he opened his eyes and stood up, ready to start alchemy. However, fortunately, Han Li's kung fu has passed the tenth level, and he can already fast, so he doesn't need to eat.
Now, Han Li took out the silver thread tripod he bought that day from his storage bag, and cast a levitation technique on it, making it stop right above Yuan Dun out of thin air. This spell was specially cultivated by Han Li for today's matter, and it took a lot of time.
Han Li fired a red light on the dragon head again, igniting the purple earth fire in the dragon head.
Because the cauldron has not been filled with raw materials yet, Han Li controlled the ground fire to make it very small, only as thick as silk thread. Then let the Yinsi tripod start to spin slowly out of thin air under the preheating of the eight fire wires.
A quarter of an hour later, the Yinsiding was already hot, exuding an astonishingly high temperature.
Seeing this, Han Li pointed at the small cauldron, and the lid of the silver-threaded cauldron immediately flew up, revealing the mouth of the cauldron. With his right hand, a white jade bottle appeared in his hand, which contained the precise amount of elixir powder prepared.
Controlling the vial, Han Li poured all the powder in the vial into the silver thread cauldron, then immediately threw the vial away, took out another vial from the storage bag, and continued to repeat the same action.
Just like that, Han Li poured all the dozens of elixir powders he needed into the silver silk cauldron, and finally put the lid back on. The first step is finally all done, it seems to be perfect, and nothing went wrong.
