The alchemy places in Dandu are different from those in the Imperial Hospital. Because there are many pills in the Xixia Plain, a large amount of alchemy is needed every day.
Building an alchemy room is laborious and time-consuming. I don't know when the master of the cauldron started. A special alchemy field was built in the alchemist's mansion.
The entire alchemy field is 200 long and 100 wide, and its size is like a spacious square. The surface is polished with basalt shale.
On the square, there are nearly a hundred Dan Ding, and in the middle of the square, there is an extra-large Dan Ding.
The Dan Ding was different from the surrounding Dan Ding. Due to the age, the bronze tripod lost its original color, instead it showed a mottled red color, which looked a little hideous.
"This is the blood cauldron of the alchemist's mansion, don't underestimate this big guy, it is different from other alchemy cauldrons, it is spiritual." Wang Zhangding brought Ye Lingyue to the blood cauldron, He glanced at Ye Lingyue.
Spirituality
After hearing this, Ye Lingyue's heart moved slightly. Could it be that the huge thing in front of her has magical functions like a dry cauldron
But after carefully observing the blood cauldron, except for the strange color, this blood cauldron did not attract any reaction from the dry cauldron in Ye Lingyue's palm, but Ye Lingyue felt a trace of bloody breath from this cauldron.
"Ye Zhangding should have discovered the unusualness of this tripod, right?" Wang Zhangding said, explaining the origin of the blood tripod.
This blood tripod, at the beginning of casting, the casting process is very special, using it to refine alchemy, not only can refine a large number of elixirs, but also the refining speed is very fast, ordinary elixir takes half a month to refine It only takes one day and one night to make it with the blood cauldron, and the quality of the refined elixir is at least above the yellow pattern.
But there are advantages and disadvantages. To control the blood cauldron to make alchemy, the alchemist who made alchemy needs to be extremely powerful.
The spiritual energy needed to make alchemy is also several times higher than that of ordinary alchemy.
For this reason, after the blood tripod was cast, it is not often used. The alchemist in charge of the tripod in Dandu will only use the blood tripod to make alchemy when there is a large-scale war and the army has a large amount of pills. In addition to the alchemist who holds the tripod himself, he often needs the assistance of other alchemists.
But one year, a great plague broke out in the Xixia Plain overnight, and hundreds of thousands of people and livestock were affected on the plain.
At that time, the master of Dandu was a benevolent Jiuding alchemist. In order to save as many lives as possible, he ordered all the alchemists in Dandu to refine pills day and night.
But even so, the elixir still cannot meet the needs of the people.
The alchemist finally decided to open the great alchemy cauldron and let him control it himself.
After refining the pills for ten days and ten nights in a row, the supporting alchemists couldn't hold on anymore and retreated.
And the alchemist in charge of the cauldron accidentally fell into the cauldron at the last moment of independent alchemy because of exhaustion.
When the other alchemists found out, that alchemist had become one with the last elixir he refined.
"What is unexpected is that the last cauldron pill that the senior held the tripod used his life to refine. There are a total of 500 pills, and each pill is a red-striped pill. Distributed to the common people, three days later, the plague that ravaged the entire Xixia Plain disappeared miraculously. And this tripod, since then, has changed from the original bronze color to red, hence the name Xueding. " Wang Zhangding When talking about the origin of the blood cauldron, the alchemists beside him were completely silent, and there was only reverence in everyone's eyes.
Not to mention that this senior held the cauldron and sacrificed his life to save the world, just one cauldron of pills can refine 500 red-patterned pills, the terrifying quantity and the terrifying success rate of pills are rare in the world.
No matter how many years have passed, alchemists in Dandu will regard it as a kind of honor and will always remember it in their hearts.
It turned out that this was the origin of the blood cauldron, no wonder there was a bloody smell on the cauldron.
Although this senior's deeds in holding the cauldron are also remarkable, but he practiced alchemy to the point of death from overwork, and even lost his own life. Ye Lingyue did not dare to compliment this kind of practice.
Ye Lingyue is a typical realist. She thinks that as a doctor who practices medicine and saves the world, she should cherish her own life more than anyone else, because only by being alive can more people be saved.
All people who don't take good care of their own lives and the lives of others are fools.
If they knew what Ye Lingyue was thinking at this time, these Dandu alchemists would definitely vomit blood.
"I don't know what is the connection between the test that Wang Zhangding said and this blood cauldron?" Ye Lingyue is not a romantic character, and she has no time to accompany these alchemists to remember the past.
When Wang Zhangding brought her here, it was definitely not as simple as letting her listen to historical stories and brainwash her.
"Ye Zhangding, your test is this blood cauldron. Since the death of the senior palm cauldron, this blood cauldron has changed. Maybe the predecessors have manifested their spirits. Before the official succession, each palm tripod must be able to control it. Blood cauldron, to refine a cauldron of pills, the quantity should not be less than one hundred. Only in this way can it be recognized by everyone and become a alchemist in charge of the cauldron. Otherwise..." Wang Zhangding said halfway, and stopped talking.
"Oh, so to speak, I want to succeed this tripod. Do I have to use this blood tripod today to make the last pill?" Ye Lingyue sneered from the bottom of her heart, it seems that the king's tripod is also prepared Here comes.
"Well, don't worry about Ye Zhangding, let me finish listening to the story of the blood cauldron first. Just now, I also said that this blood cauldron has changed since that senior took over the cauldron. A person in the position of the cauldron can naturally refine a sufficient amount of elixir. But if he meets someone who is not qualified to hold the position of the cauldron, the blood cauldron will suck it into the cauldron and burn it alive to death." Wang Zhang Ding Yin laughed twice.
A tripod that attracts people? Isn't that the cauldron that eats people
After hearing this, Ye Lingyue understood why she just felt such a strong smell of blood on the blood cauldron.
"Wang Zhangding also passed the test of the blood cauldron?" Ye Lingyue probed.
"This... I am just an agent in charge of the tripod, so I have not participated in similar assessments, but I can tell Ye Zhangding that before you, there were several colleagues from the alchemist's mansion who recommended themselves and wanted to participate in the blood tripod test, but what happened to them? Well..." Wang Zhangding said, he paused deliberately, and glanced at the newly added bright red on the blood tripod.
In addition to the imperial decree, Dan has unwritten rules, as long as he/she can control the blood cauldron, then he/she is the master of Dandu.
It is also because of these words that for hundreds of years, many alchemists who coveted the position of holding the cauldron have died under this blood cauldron.
Among those alchemists, the worst cultivation was in Qiding. Even Wang Zhangding, who was an alchemist in Badaling, didn't dare to try it rashly, let alone Ye Lingyue, who was only in Liuding.
