After all the materials were ready, Li Xuan locked the door of the laboratory and began the experiment of refining the ice elixir inside.
Li Xuan has a foundation in the universe and the fairy world, and now he is practicing from scratch, and his progress will naturally be rapid.
For three days in a row, Li Xuan was practicing with low-level elixirs. For others, practicing alchemy is like building a house. Starting from the foundation, bricks are laid bit by bit, and finally a house is built. As long as any step goes wrong during the process,
I'm afraid it will be overthrown.
But for Li Xuan, there is no such worry. His practice of alchemy is like filling an empty water bag with water. As long as the water is filled, it will be complete.
Filling water is naturally much easier than building a house. On the night of the third day, after Li Xuan made the twentieth "blood-stimulating pill", the water bag was almost full.
"Very good, I can feel a little bit like I did back then."
Li Xuan moved his fingers. The alchemist must have very flexible and stable fingers. Otherwise, if he shakes his hands when refining the elixir, he may fail. Then it will be a waste of materials. If it causes an explosion, he may even be injured.
Killed together.
In particular, what Li Xuan wants to refine is not an ordinary ice elixir. Ever since he came into contact with the rune engine in the Five Wheels Peak Realm, he has been thinking about fusing runes and elixirs to prepare a transcendent elixir.
An improved ice elixir in the realm of magic.
Li Xuan already has a rough idea in his mind, but more experiments are needed to turn the idea into reality.
Starting from the fourth day, Li Xuan devoted himself wholeheartedly to the production of improved ice elixirs. However, unlike the rapid progress in the first three days, in the next three days, all his experiments failed and none of them succeeded.
.
"Bang", a cloud of white smoke came out, and a cold breath sprayed on Li Xuan's face. His hair and eyebrows were immediately covered with a layer of white frost, making him look like an old man.
This is already the thirty-fifth time Li Xuan has failed in the past three days. Although he has been able to skillfully refine ordinary ice elixirs, he will immediately fail as soon as he reaches the step of fusing the runes and elixirs.
Li Xuan has made dozens of improvements in the past three days, but whether it is enhancing the control of shadow spiritual power, adjusting the dosage of elixirs, or even changing the order of steps, he has made changes in everything he can think of, but
Still found nothing.
"I need to take a rest."
Li Xuan felt a splitting headache. He sat on a chair, relaxed his limbs, and cleared his mind of all the chaotic thoughts.
I don't know how long it took before Li Xuan let go of his distracting thoughts and let out a long breath.
He has been in the laboratory for six or seven days without washing his face, and the stubble on his chin has grown very long. If he doesn't take care of it, when Solanum and the others come to visit again, he may have become a
A savage.
"Let's take a rest today and continue tomorrow."
Li Xuan swept the failed elixir into the trash can and prepared to leave.
At this time, he suddenly saw a few pieces of paper among the messy things cleared out of the ring space.
"These are the fragments of ancient books left by Sima De."
Li Xuan's heart moved, he took out the pieces of paper and looked at them carefully.
In fact, the things recorded above have been imprinted in Li Xuan's mind, but this time he watched it again, it gave him a different feeling.
"My ideas are absolutely correct, but why do I always fail?"
Li Xuan thought to himself. He carefully pondered his theory. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that runes and spells could be completely connected.
"What detail is it?"
Li Xuan turned the pieces of paper over and over in his hands, puzzled.
Suddenly, he thought of something. The spells used by Yan Yi Fa Sui all contained similar runes. He had never been able to figure out the relationship between the two.
Do the symbols in the spell have anything to do with the runes, or are those symbols the source of power in the spell?
Li Xuan thought in his mind, the shadow spiritual power in his body surged, and a character "ding" appeared on his palm.
The fixed character looks like a lavender mist, but the difference is that there is a skull in the middle of the mist.
The appearance of this skull is very similar to a certain rune, both of which exude a sinister aura, making people tremble at the sight of it.
Li Xuan shook his hand and changed the spell to "Tired Character". This spell also had a horn-shaped rune character, which made people feel drowsy at first sight.
"Both symbols look a little special. They seem to have a hieroglyphic feel. There must be some connection between them."
Li Xuan clicked and touched it.
"Maybe it's the relationship between the pictograms!"
Li Xuan suddenly thought of a key point. He had only memorized the runes by rote before, without thinking about their inner meanings.
Now the thought that came to his mind brought him a brand new way of thinking.
He immediately wrote out all the runes he knew, and then divided them into several groups according to their attributes. After comparison, he discovered that there were indeed regular patterns among the rune characters. All the rune characters that worked in the rune array,
More or less, there are shadows of pictograms.
A vague outline gradually emerged in Li Xuan's mind. Although he was not sure what new progress his discovery would bring, Li Xuan vaguely felt that he had found the most critical clue.
Li Xuan is too tired these days, busy preparing ice elixirs, and can't even get an hour's sleep every day.
Now that I was thinking about the problem, I didn't know how long it took before I fell asleep.
While half asleep and half awake, Li Xuan had a very strange dream.
He stood in front of a large door. The door was so heavy that he couldn't open it no matter how hard he pulled it. However, there was a glimmer of light coming from the crack of the door, as if there was a very beautiful world hidden behind it.
Li Xuan tried his best to pull the door, using all his strength, but the door didn't move at all, as if it was made of stone.
Li Xuan seemed to be able to hear the girl's laughter from behind the door, and could also smell the fragrance of the food. He was tired and hungry, so he simply leaned against the door and wanted to take a rest.
But just by leaning on it, the door opened slowly. It turned out that the door was not pulled, but opened with a slight push.
When the door opened, there was no beautiful girl or delicious food as Li Xuan imagined. There was only a white flash in front of his eyes, which made him almost unable to open his eyes.
Li Xuan was confused when a golden brilliance suddenly flashed through the white light, and he saw golden runes flying out of the white light and flying over his head.
The runes were twisting in the air, as if they were alive. These hieroglyphs were originally lifelike, but when they moved, they became even more lively.
Li Xuan was like a child, jumping up on tiptoes and trying to catch the runes, but he couldn't catch them no matter how hard he tried.
The runes floated past one by one and disappeared into the boundless darkness. Li Xuan was so anxious that he wanted to chase after him, but he tripped on the threshold and fell.
"call!"
Li Xuan suddenly woke up from his dream, his forehead covered with sweat.
He is no longer a child and has not had a dream for many years, but the dream just now was too clear and lifelike.
If he hadn't seen himself still in the alchemy room, Li Xuan might have thought that it was really happening.
After taking a few breaths, Li Xuan calmed down a little, and the scene in his dream appeared in his mind.
He thought of the runes floating out one by one, and his heart suddenly moved. He immediately grabbed a piece of paper and copied down all the runes.
Li Xuan recorded all the changes in the scene before his eyes, and then thought about it carefully.
He always felt that there was some wonderful logic hidden in this string of runes that could bring him new inspiration.
However, after Li Xuan read it several times, he always felt that something was wrong. The runes were lifeless and seemed to lack some vitality.
"Is it related to the movement?"
Li Xuan suddenly thought that the runes in the dream were twisting and turning, making them very lively. He quickly picked up the piece of paper and shook it a few times.
The paper shook, and the runes on it also moved, just like in a dream, as if it came alive.
"So that's it!"
Just like a bolt of lightning pierced the hazy night sky, a bolt of lightning also flashed through Li Xuan's mind, igniting his thoughts.
The idea that had been blocked for a long time suddenly became clear. Li Xuan jumped up, rushed to the table, and began to adjust the elixir quickly.
"I finally found the difference between runes and spells. Runes come from the rune array. Each rune is a part. These parts must move to promote the rune array to operate.
Runes are different from spells, they are alive!"
Li Xuan muttered to himself almost like a demon, and without any slowness in his hands, he accurately took out the raw materials and fused them together.
"Gududu..." The white liquid in the bottle boiled, but what came out was not heat, but a trace of coldness.
This is the unique feature of Ice Soul Grass. The coldness pours out from the mouth of the bottle, causing the temperature in the room to drop suddenly by one or two degrees.
There was a metal plate in front of Li Xuan. A rune array had already been carved on it. The five rune lines combined looked dark and lifeless.
Before, Li Xuan only focused on changing the structure of the rune array, as if he had been pushing the door hard. Although he used a lot of force, he used it in the wrong direction, so it naturally had no effect.
At this moment, he no longer focused on the structure, but traced the lines of the runes with his fingers, injecting a trace of pure shadow spiritual power into them.
The shadow spiritual power left a beating purple brilliance on the rune array, and the light flickered slightly, as if the characters were moving.
This is just a superficial phenomenon. In fact, in the depths of the rune array, waves of power are like the movements of a baby in the mother's womb, swelling and bulging, looking forward to the moment of explosion.
"about there."
Li Xuan held his breath and grabbed the bottle filled with white solution. When he tilted his hand, the liquid in the bottle poured out and flowed on the rune array.
