Chapter 7 The Mysterious Pill Furnace That Turns Waste into Treasure
Soon, Su Twelve was the only one left in the abandoned alchemy room.
There was no one in the huge place, and there were faint sounds of howling wolves and beasts in the distance. Su Twelve stood in the yard, frightened. No matter how brave he was, he was only a half-grown child.
But he knew very well that if he wanted to learn immortal magic, he had to overcome the difficulties in front of him. Looking down at the illustrated book of useless elixirs in his hand, Su Twelve began to look through it.
In the illustration, there are brief introductions to hundreds of kinds of elixirs and a display of the shapes of waste elixirs. Waste elixirs are the product of alchemists who failed to make alchemy. They contain a lot of impurities and even toxins, making them impossible to take.
For other children, it takes a lot of effort to understand. But Su Twelve learned to read and digitize from his grandfather since he was a child. He has read thousands of books and has a flexible mind. After reading silently a few times, he can
I jotted down the contents of this illustrated book.
Holding the illustration in hand, Su Twelve turned around and walked into the warehouse where the waste elixirs were kept. After reading the text introduction and pictures, the next step was to identify the actual objects.
In the warehouse, all kinds of waste elixirs are piled up like mountains.
However, Su Twelve, who knew the contents of the illustrated book by heart, could immediately tell that there were not many types of these waste elixirs, only three or five kinds.
The most numerous ones are the Pei Yuan Dan, which is taken by novice disciples and is used to solidify Yuan and remove impurities from the body.
Secondly, Qi-gathering pills are taken by Qi-refining disciples to increase the speed of cultivation, and a small healing pill is used to heal injuries.
Looking at the tens of thousands of waste elixirs in front of him, Su Twelve couldn't help but secretly sigh, what a great thing it would be if these were not waste elixirs and he could have so many elixirs.
It's a pity that for him, all this can only be thought about.
Su Twelve stayed in the warehouse until night. In addition to the three elixirs, he also found the waste elixirs of two other elixirs.
However, these useless elixirs were all rubbish that no one wanted, so he could only learn more about elixirs.
It was getting late, and Su Twelve planned to go back to his room to rest.
At this moment, deep animal roars and heavy footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
The dull sound, like muffled thunder or the sound of a drum, struck Su Twelve's heart time and time again.
"Beast?!"
Su Twelve was shocked, and the figure with severed arms and legs on the stretcher immediately appeared in his mind.
"What should I do?" He stayed where he was, not daring to move for fear of disturbing the wild beasts outside.
But the beast outside showed no intention of leaving.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and there was a plop, as if something jumped over the courtyard wall.
When Su Twelve heard the movement, his heart beat faster. Holding his breath, he carefully looked out through the gap in the warehouse.
In the yard, a tiger with hanging eyes, white forehead and scarlet eyes was wandering in the yard. It made a whirring sound while breathing, and puffed out white air from its mouth and nose.
The copper bell-like eyes flashed with a fierce light, and as he breathed, he seemed to smell the scent of a stranger. The tiger let out a deep roar, fluffed out its hair, and slowly walked towards the warehouse where Su Twelve was.
Seeing this scene, Su Twelve's pupils shrank and his whole body trembled. With his small body, there was no way he could be the opponent of this fierce tiger. It might not even be enough to fit between his teeth.
Su Twelve was frightened, but the more scared he was, the calmer he became.
Turning to look at the mountains of waste pills piled behind him, a bold idea appeared in his mind.
Without any hesitation, he hurriedly retreated to the pile of discarded elixirs, tiptoed into a deep pit, and buried himself in the pile of discarded elixirs.
"Clang!"
Within a few minutes, the warehouse door was pushed open, and a large and fierce tiger head poked its head in.
The teeth that shone with cold light and the bloody mouth that spewed out the foul smell scared Su Twelve so much that he held his breath and did not dare to move.
Fortunately, the huge amount of waste pills covered up the aura on Su Twelve's body. The tiger looked around for a while, then turned and left.
When Su Twelve saw this, he was secretly relieved. But he was afraid that the tiger would come back again and stay in the waste pill until dawn.
After repeatedly confirming that there was indeed no movement outside, he crawled out of the waste pill.
"What the hell kind of place is this? There's such a huge tiger when we first arrived? If I stay here any longer, I will be eaten by this tiger sooner or later!"
Su Twelve's little heart was pounding, and he muttered to himself with a scared look on his face.
He didn't think that his small body could be a match for the tiger.
"But if I leave, how can I still get in touch with the practice of cultivation?"
"If you can't practice, how can you avenge grandpa and the others? We also need to find a way to figure out the use of the mysterious alchemy furnace!"
While thinking about it, Su Twelve took out the dilapidated and simple alchemy furnace from his arms.
When he saw the alchemy furnace again, his pupils shrank and he couldn't help but be startled.
"Huh? Why are there two pills?"
I saw two crystal clear, thumb-sized, jade-like pills lying in the alchemy furnace at this moment.
He hurriedly poured the two pills into the palm of his hand. Suddenly, a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out, making him instantly energized and eliminating hunger and fatigue.
Su Twelve was shocked, grabbed another handful of waste elixirs, put them in his hands and compared them.
The waste pills were all black and emitted a faint stench. Compared with these two pills, they were completely different.
After examining them carefully for a long time, he finally confirmed that these two pills were actually good Peiyuan Pills.
"Strange, why did two Peiyuan Pills suddenly appear in this pill furnace?"
"I have only used this thing for salt, and I have never seen any elixirs appear."
"Could it be... that some waste elixir fell into it last night?"
Thinking of this, Su Twelve immediately tried it, took a waste pill and put it into the pill furnace, and then observed it without blinking.
Under his gaze, the waste elixir was covered with a layer of blue light, fading away from its black color at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It looks like the impurities on it have been tempered by some kind of force.
In just a few breaths, the waste pill changed from black to gray-green.
After more than ten breaths, a crystal clear, jade-like Peiyuan Pill appeared in the pill furnace.
"Hiss~"
Seeing this scene, Su Twelve couldn't help but take a breath.
"This elixir furnace can actually turn waste elixirs into good elixirs? Turning waste into treasures, isn't this amazing?!"
"No wonder...no wonder those immortals want this alchemy furnace so much!"
"It's just that I don't know if this alchemy furnace can be tempered forever?"
With an anxious mood, he stuffed a handful of waste pills into the pill furnace.
In sight, everyone's waste pills were covered with a layer of blue light.
After more than ten breaths, the light disappeared and was replaced by grains of crystal-clear Peiyuan Dan.
Su Twelve tried it more than ten times in a row. No matter how many elixirs he filled, as long as the elixir furnace could hold it, it would be tempered into normal elixirs within ten or twenty breaths.
From the beginning to the end, the alchemy furnace had the same quaint and shabby appearance without any change.
After confirming the function of the alchemy furnace, Su Twelve turned to look at the mountains of waste elixirs piled aside, and his breathing became rapid.
At this moment, in his eyes, these are not garbage that no one wants. They are clearly pills that can be used for cultivation!
"With so many elixirs, even if my spiritual ability is weak, I will definitely be able to achieve something!"
"No, you must not tell anyone this news!"
Holding the alchemy furnace tightly in his arms, his little heart was beating loudly and his little face turned red.
Although he didn't know much about spiritual practice, he was aware of the value of this alchemy furnace.
He hid the alchemy furnace close to his body, found a few porcelain bottles in the warehouse, packed the tempered elixirs, and then returned to the room where he lived.
"Now, let's see if these tempered elixirs are really effective!"
Thinking about it, Su Twelve took out a Peiyuan Pill from his arms.
