Looking at the dozen or so Stone Heart Fruits in front of him, Ye Li casually took out his fire collecting box and placed it in front of him.
He planned to do two things at the same time, that is, taking the Stone Heart Fruit while using the Fire Box to smelt the ore.
After all, taking the Heart of Stone is almost a trivial matter. It is just a simple matter of drinking the juice of the Heart of Stone and waiting for the body to absorb it.
Ever since Ye Li mastered the technique of shooting with both hands, he can complete even some complicated tasks without distraction, let alone these simple tasks.
After placing the fire box in place, Ye Li used his long knife to casually cut open a portion of the top shells of a dozen stone hearts, allowing the juice inside to leak out.
Then Ye Li raised the flame in the fire box and began to put in five pieces of Liuyun Fire Ore in succession.
Generally speaking, in order to get a complete piece of Liuyun Fire Steel, five Liuyun Fire Ores are needed, and what Ye Li put in was exactly one set of materials.
He controlled the five pieces of Flowing Cloud Fire Minerals and placed them into the flame of the fire collecting box to burn. Then Ye Li picked up a Stone Heart Fruit and slowly poured the juice inside into his mouth.
While waiting for his body to completely absorb the power of the Stone Heart Fruit, he controlled the flame in the fire box, which continued to roll and burn the five pieces of Flowing Cloud Fire Minerals.
The temperature of the fire box has been raised to the highest level by Ye Li. After all, smelting ore is different from casting.
When smelting ore, high-temperature incineration is required to remove the impurities inside, otherwise the material will be impure.
The smelting of ore must be done in one go. Once the ore solidifies from liquid to solid again, the impurities inside will be completely integrated into the material, making it difficult to purify it again.
Materials with impure texture are not good things. If used to cast talismans, all the materials of the talisman may shatter at any time.
Therefore, Ye Li did not dare to be careless. He controlled the flame to burn the ore back and forth repeatedly, burning all parts except the Liuyun Fire Steel into ashes.
The five balls of melted Liuyun Fire Ore began to gradually merge together. After removing the impurities inside, they began to combine tightly.
Under Ye Li's control, this ball of molten flowing cloud fire steel began to solidify into a square little anchor.
Just as the Stone Heart Fruit that Ye Li had just taken was completely absorbed by his body and his physical strength suddenly surpassed the late Spiritual Pill Stage and reached the early Descending Spirit Stage, the first piece of pure Flowing Cloud Fire Steel was also refined by him.
Taking out the Liuyanyan Suanlu and placing it aside, Ye Li sent a few runes towards the furnace, controlling it to start up.
The statue of the Flame-Devouring Suanni opened its mouth wide, with balls of blazing white flames in its mouth.
He casually threw the freshly smelted Liuyun Fire Steel into the mouth of the Flame-Devouring Suanni statue. The statue emitted a blazing white flame like flowing water, instantly burning the Liuyun Fire Steel into a pool of pure molten steel, which it then swallowed.
From now on, Ye Li only needs to maintain the supply of spiritual energy and let the Liuyanyan Suanlu digest it on its own.
After checking his own condition, he found that his physical strength had indeed leapt to a higher level, reaching the level of an ordinary monster in the early stage of the Descending Stage.
The greatly improved physical strength allowed him to further improve his strength.
In this state, even if Ye Li only uses boxing to attack, he can still exert the strength of an ordinary talisman master in the spirit-calling stage.
However, this strength is only limited to close combat.
After feeling the change in his physical strength, Ye Li picked up another Stone Heart Fruit and swallowed the juice inside it.
Then, he began to repeat the previous process, but this time, he was distracted by the task of supplying spiritual essence to the Liuyanyan Suanlu, making the control a little more difficult.
Fortunately, these three things are relatively simple and do not consume much of the mind and energy, so Ye Li can do them easily even if he is distracted.
This state of smelting ore, swallowing the Stone Heart Fruit, and controlling the Liuyanyan Furnace to devour the Liuyun Fire Steel lasted for nearly a day.
By the time the last Stone Heart Fruit was eaten, more than half of the Flowing Cloud Fire Mine in front of Ye Li had been used up.
Nearly twenty pieces of Liuyun Fire Steel that were smelted were all completely devoured by the Liuyanyan Suanlu. In Ye Li's perception, the Liuyanyan Suanlu was already close to a top-grade earth-level talisman.
The Stone Heart Fruit is indeed of great help to physical strength.
Although these dozen fruits were consumed after physical strength reached the spirit descending stage and were much smaller than those in the elixir stage, after they were all swallowed and absorbed by Ye Li, they still pushed Ye Li's body to the peak of the early stage of the spirit descending stage.
After all, the monster's body is huge. To upgrade such a huge body to a higher level, the resources consumed are many times that of Ye Li. However, as a human being, Ye Li's body is too small.
The consumption of the same resources will also be much less, so just a dozen fruits can allow him to greatly increase his physical strength.
However, as his physical strength grew, he did feel the effectiveness of the Stone Heart Fruit begin to decrease.
If he was like the Black-Armored Stone Fire Dragon, whose physical strength reached the late stage of the Divine Coming Stage, then the Stone Heart Fruit's effectiveness on him would become very low, and perhaps even if he took dozens of them, he would not necessarily become much stronger.
However, he did not have that many Stone Heart Fruits to consume now. The Black-Armored Stone Fire Dragon only left him a dozen fruits.
He didn't know where the monster found the fruits, so now that it had consumed all of them, he could only give up.
With one thing less to do, Ye Li's smelting speed increased by another two points. While he was fully controlling the flame to burn the ore, he let the Liuyanyan Suanlu quickly digest and absorb the Liuyun Fire Steel.
After using up all the ore, Ye Li fed the last piece of Liuyun Fire Steel to the Liuyanyan Suanlu.
After waiting for a while, as the Liuyanyan Suanlu completely absorbed the last piece of Liuyun Fire Steel, a burst of golden-red light suddenly burst out from the furnace.
Ye Li, who was controlling the Liuyanyan Suanlu, showed a look of joy on his face when he saw the changes in the talisman under his command.
"Senior Tunri, Liuyanyan Suanlu has advanced to the next level!"
Ye Li said to Tunri.
Tunri nodded and said, "It's time to advance. You just swallowed so many heavenly materials.
After all, this furnace now only has earth-level power, and the effect of absorbing heaven-level materials is extremely good.
Once you upgrade it to the lower heaven grade, the help it brings by swallowing lower heaven grade materials will be extremely limited. At that time, you must use higher quality materials for it to swallow."
