The valley was still covered with snow and the wind was biting. As soon as we entered the cave, we immediately felt a rush of hot air blowing against our faces. The temperature became higher and higher as we went deeper.
"Elder!!" When they came to the end of the cave, two young men shouted respectfully to Elder Qiu who was in a daze in front of a large alchemy furnace.
"Oh, okay, you two go out and guard the entrance of the cave for me. No one is allowed to come in." Elder Qiu came back to his senses and waved his hand.
The two young men took the order and left. As they were leaving, Ouyang Xu once again saw the pity on their faces, as if they were looking at two dying people.
Elder Qiu glanced back and forth between Ouyang Xu and Baldhead. This feeling made Ouyang Xu feel very awkward, as if the two of them were like animals, waiting for their master's choice.
"Well, this guy looks stronger. Although his physical training is a bit poor, his potential should be good." Elder Qiu finally stopped at the bald man, looked at the exposed muscles of his upper body, smiled and nodded to himself.
road.
"Doesn't this old man have any special hobbies?" Looking at Elder Qiu's expression, Ouyang Xu always felt a little weird. There were five parts of expectation, three parts of enthusiasm, and two parts of nervousness, as if he was about to do something inappropriate for children.
The same thing.
"Bald-headed fellow, come here." Elder Qiu waved his hand.
The bald head walked towards Elder Qiu with some trembling in his heart. Unknown things were the most frightening thing. Even the bald head crawled out from the pile of dead people, his body was still trembling slightly with fear.
"Don't be nervous, this is an opportunity for you to rise to fame. As long as you can succeed, you will make great contributions to our Tianman Sect, and your future cultivation path will be smooth sailing."
As he spoke, Elder Qiu reached out and opened a small door under the alchemy furnace, and took out a strange-looking elixir from it.
This elixir comes in two colors, red and white, which makes it look unreliable.
"This is my latest Ice and Fire Body Refining Pill. It will be the best pill that will change the entire martial arts. You will have the opportunity to try the medicinal properties of this pill yourself and take it." Elder Qiu excitedly handed out the pill.
He handed it to the bald man with an expectant look on his face.
There was a bitter look on the bald and fleshy face. He was not a young boy who had just fledged. To be able to achieve what he is today, he had definitely experienced more things than Ouyang Xu. Of course, he would not be influenced by Elder Qiu’s words.
He was deceived, but at this time he had no right to choose.
He put the Ice and Fire Body Refining Pill into his mouth tremblingly, and closed his mouth tightly with his bald head, nervously waiting for the medicinal properties of the Ice and Fire Body Refining Pill to be released.
"Ah!!!" Just ten seconds after swallowing the pill, the bald head screamed with a distorted face and rolled on the ground in pain.
Two energies, namely blazing heat and coldness, emerged from his body. The two forces fought inside his body. The body covered by the cold air cracked with cracks, while the body covered by the blazing energy
It appears to be shrunken and charred.
After screaming for more than a minute, the bald man lay twitching on the ground. At this time, his body had basically collapsed and he just barely breathed his last breath.
"How could this happen? How could this happen? It should be possible." Elder Qiu looked at the dead bald head and shouted nervously, grabbing his gray hair and spinning around in circles, repeating the words in distress.
The nervous Elder Qiu suddenly raised his head, looked at Ouyang Xu with a somewhat crazy look and said: "It must be that the bald boy's body is not strong enough. It is definitely not a problem with the elixir I refined."
"Damn it, this old man doesn't want me to swallow this ice and fire body refining pill, right?" Ouyang Xu couldn't help but shudder in his heart, thinking about the solution quickly in his mind, he didn't want to just give it to him like this.
People were used as experimental subjects and died here.
"Wait!!" Looking at Elder Qiu walking quickly with an Ice and Fire Body Refining Pill, Ouyang Xu quickly reached out to stop him.
Hearing Ouyang Xu's loud shout, Elder Qiu was startled: "Kid, what's your name? There is no problem with the elixir I refined. Yours has reached the fourth level of body refining, so it will definitely work."
Withstand the power of the Ice and Fire Body Refining Pill."
"Old man, you keep saying that there is nothing wrong with your elixir. I think the problem lies in the Ice and Fire Body Refining Pill in your hand. If I am not mistaken, with this Ice and Fire Body Refining Pill, you used flame grass and
It’s probably made from frost flowers as the main medicine.”
"Kid, how do you know this?" Elder Qiu suddenly stopped in his progress and asked with astonishment in his eyes.
"I have also done some research on elixirs. Of course I can see it, and I can also see that you used the fire of the earth's lungs to forcibly fuse them together with the help of this big elixir furnace." Ouyang Xu said with a confident expression.
And talk.
Elder Ziqiu was completely dumbfounded at this time. He could be sure that his alchemy method had never been leaked, and Ouyang Xu had just been transported here, so there was absolutely no way he knew about it in advance.
Looking at the dumbfounded Elder Qiu, Ouyang Xu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He finally calmed down this crazy old guy. He didn't want to swallow the so-called Ice and Fire Body Refining Pill refined by the old guy.
"You said there is something wrong with my elixir. What is the problem? If you can't tell me why, I will kill you." Elder Qiu suppressed his anger and shouted. The ice and fire body refining elixir is what he has studied over the years.
As a result, being rejected by Ouyang Xu, how could he not be filled with anger?
Ouyang Xu glanced at the Ice and Fire Body Refining Pill in Elder Qiu's hand with an indifferent expression, stepped in front of Elder Qiu, took the elixir in his hand, looked at it carefully, and smelled the Ice and Fire Body Refining Pill.
Just now, Ouyang Xu didn't pay much attention to Elder Qiu's Ice and Fire Body Refining Pill, thinking it was just a waste pill that Elder Qiu had randomly refined.
Now after careful observation, what surprised him was that this Ice and Fire Body Refining Pill was very unusual, it was simply the first of its kind.
Using the two extreme powers of ice and fire to temper the body, this is dozens of times more powerful than ordinary body refining pills. If it succeeds, it will definitely shock all alchemists.
"I admire your idea of using the two extreme powers of ice and fire to temper your body. However, the ice and fire body refining pill in front of you is far from enough, both in terms of stability and the two powers of ice and fire. Once
If the power of ice and fire in it is taken, the suppression of the elixir will be lost, causing riots in the body of the user. There are also some problems with the combination of the elixirs in it. It seems that several of them are mixed to produce a highly poisonous substance.
"
Hearing Ouyang Xu's talk, Elder Qiu, who was originally furious, gradually calmed down the anger in his heart. He recalled that the previous situation of using ferocious beasts to test elixirs was indeed exactly what Ouyang Xu said. He had also made speculations before, but
I just don’t want to admit it.
"Since you can see this at a glance, you must have a way to improve this elixir." Elder Qiu looked at Ouyang Xu with hope and asked excitedly.
"We're on the road!" Ouyang Xu smiled slightly in his heart, but his expression was very indifferent: "I still don't know the formula of the elixir and other issues, how can I find a way, but I am confident that I can refine this ice and fire body
The elixir was successfully refined."
Ouyang Xu is not bragging when he says these words. He has the inheritance of the Alchemy Book. With the rich refining methods recorded in the Alchemy Book and the detailed description of medicinal properties and pharmacology, he has absolute confidence in the successful refining of the Ice and Fire Body Refining Pill.
"That's great, that's great." Elder Qiu excitedly turned around in one circle and came to Ouyang Xu with a smile on his face.
"Hehe, don't be offended by the offense just now." Elder Qiu smiled flatteringly and took out a roll of parchment from his arms and stuffed it into Ouyang Xu's hand: "This is the formula for the Ice and Fire Body Refining Pill, let's study it carefully.
"
Without fear of his life, Ouyang Xu also had a strong interest in the Ice and Fire Body Refining Pill, and the two of them began to study the refining of the Ice and Fire Body Refining Pill in the cave.
The temperature of the fire connecting the cave to the earth's lungs is very high, but it will not be greatly affected by the two of them, and it still cannot stop their enthusiasm for studying the Ice and Fire Body Refining Pill.
As the two people discussed, the scene became a little strange. Elder Qiu, who originally looked like a master of alchemy, seemed to have become an apprentice who had just started to make alchemy. He was just being trained in front of Ouyang Xu.
If someone else had reprimanded Elder Qiu like this, he would have tortured him half to death with his temper. Now he was reprimanded by Ouyang Xu but he did not feel dissatisfied at all. It was not until the discussion began that he discovered Ouyang Xu's deep understanding of alchemy.
It's not something he can compare to.
In front of Ouyang Xu, he felt as if he had returned to the time when he first started learning alchemy. Ouyang Xu was not very young, but when he talked about alchemy, he revealed the demeanor of a real grand master, which made Elder Qiu unconscious.
Impressed.
He even hoped that Ouyang Xu could reprimand him more so that he could learn more alchemy skills.
With the two people's energy, this discussion lasted two days and two nights. The two young men waiting outside almost thought something had happened.
According to previous practice, the test of the elixir will be completed soon, and then Elder Qiu will walk out of the cave nervously, not knowing where to continue studying the elixir, but this time it is particularly surprising.
When the two of them were about to fall asleep out of boredom, a sound of footsteps came from the cave, which shocked the drowsy two people.
"Hey, that's strange. Why are there the footsteps of two people? Could it be that the elder's elixir was successfully refined."
The other person shook his head when he heard this, and the two turned to look at the cave ### curiously.
"Why is it him!" The two young men looked at Ouyang Xu who was walking in front in shock. What shocked them even more was that Elder Qiu was actually walking behind.
