Yan Xing heard the sound and looked around, only to see a figure sitting cross-legged in the void. In front of him stood a huge dark green alchemy furnace. He pinched out seals in his hand and pointed fiercely.
Thunder roared from inside the alchemy furnace, and then the furnace lid lifted into the air. A ball of elixir flashing with strange light shot out, was bound by a force, and fell into the jade bottle obediently.
"Not bad, a perfect second-grade elixir."
Spiritual elixirs are divided into nine levels, with the first level being the lowest and the ninth level being the highest; the golden elixir being divided into nine levels, with one level being the lowest and nine levels being the highest.
The elixirs of each grade are subdivided according to their quality into: incomplete, ordinary, top quality, and perfect.
The man was holding a jade bottle with a tired look on his face, not because he was refining this second-grade elixir, but because of the continuous high-intensity elixir refining day and night recently, which consumed a lot of his energy. Every time he opened the furnace, he was exhausted.
Have to rest for a while.
"The furnace will start in half an hour!"
He gave instructions to the waiter at the outer door who was waiting not far away, and then put away the jade bottle. The man got up and walked into the quiet room not far away and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.
Prepare the medicinal materials and clean up the medicinal residue in the furnace, and have your own outside handyman do it for you.
This scene can be seen everywhere in the vast underground space. According to Lu Mao, this fire cave is quite small, with only three hundred pill furnaces in total.
Tool refining does not have high requirements for earth fire. It only needs enough heat to melt the materials.
But alchemy is different. Alchemy is a delicate job, and the earth fire that meets the requirements must be formed by the intersection of fire earth veins and wood earth veins. This kind of earth fire is warm and moist, and can greatly retain the medicinal power of medicine stones.
"Li Bo, you're finally here. Hurry, hurry up and allocate the manpower. Our Qingling Talisman won't last long!"
Seeing that Lu Mao had brought the handover, the servants in the crypt looked happy and greeted loudly, not wanting to stay here any longer.
"Right now, why are you panicking?"
Li Bo laughed and cursed, and led everyone to start the handover. Almost everyone had to take over an alchemy furnace. Yan Xing took the initiative to ask to stay, and he took over the more difficult tasks.
That was to transport the dregs of medicine. This was the most tiring and dangerous job. Naturally, no one could compete with him, so he enjoyed it.
The reason given by Yan Xing is that he suffers from "drug blindness" and cannot distinguish even the simplest herbs.
"Hahaha, there are so many wonders in this world. I've only heard of prosopagnosia and night blindness. This is the first time I've heard of drug blindness. Anyway, in that case, I'll bother you, Brother Yan!"
"Brother Yan, have a great time! After your shift, I need to treat Brother Yan to a drink. If you need any help, just ask and we won't hesitate!"
These children from rich families were very afraid of death. When they saw that the most difficult job was secured, they complimented them repeatedly, but it was unclear whether some of their words were true.
Yan Xing shrugged and didn't take these people to heart at all. He turned around and left with an old disciple with dark skin and a haggard face, and began to hand over the task.
"Hey, boy, practice hard and be promoted to the inner sect as soon as possible. This ghost place is not for humans."
Such a young man actually looks like an old man at this moment. This erysipelas aura is really fierce.
"Well, thank you, I understand."
Yan Xing nodded, thanked the other party for his kindness, and quickly completed the handover.
What he has to do is very simple, that is, collect the medicinal residues cleaned out from the alchemy furnace and transport them to a specially built storage room on a cart.
In Yan Xing's view, this medicine residue is like nuclear waste, exuding mixed erysipelas gas all the time. If it is piled in place, these erysipelas can even affect the elixir being refined.
Therefore, he needs to walk back and forth among the three hundred alchemy furnaces. When he sees an alchemy furnace that needs to be emptied of medicine dregs, he will immediately transport it away to create a clean environment before the alchemist opens the furnace next time.
.
"Brother Yan, here, transport the medicine residue!"
As soon as Yan Xing took over, he heard the shouts coming from the distance. He immediately became energetic, lifted up the huge metal cart, and rushed over with great energy.
"Get out of the way! The trolley is coming!"
The cart weighing a thousand kilograms was like a toy in Yan Xing's hands. With a few breaths, he pushed it to the bottom of an alchemy furnace. The fire hole here had been temporarily sealed by the formation, but the high temperature remaining in the air was still extremely hot.
These alchemy furnaces are all standard, with three legs, two ears, round bellies, and inscriptions all over the body. The furnace feet alone are two feet high, and the entire alchemy furnace is ten feet long, like a ten-story building. It is a huge thing.
There is a small opening directly under the alchemy furnace. As soon as the cart reaches under it, the inscriptions on the two are intertwined and it opens automatically. The next moment, the jet black medicinal residue spurts out, and the pungent smell hits the face. Where is the smell?
There is a so-called Danxiang, and Yan Xing frowned when he heard it.
After the old disciples finished their explanations, they all left after get off work. The new disciples who were left behind seemed a little panicked when operating for the first time. They hurriedly manipulated a metal rod, penetrated deep into the furnace, and cleaned up the remaining slag on the furnace wall.
A large amount of medicinal materials are put into a furnace of elixirs, but very little of the essence can be extracted from them. Most of what is left is medicine dregs, and all kinds of eliminated toxicities also remain in the medicine dregs.
This alchemy furnace seemed to have eaten Wallace and turned into a Splatoon. It took a long time to spray it clean, leaving Yan Xing stunned.
"Brother Yan, okay, I'm sorry to trouble you!"
The child stood far away, his intention was very clear, he wanted Yan Xing to push away the medicine dregs quickly.
"Um."
Yan Xing nodded lightly, used his hands hard, and returned the same way with more than a thousand kilograms of medicine dregs. Wherever he passed, everyone avoided him.
Just kidding, who doesn’t feel frightened after seeing this car of “nuclear waste”?
The place where the medicine residue is stored is far away from the fire pit. A hollow is dug deep into the rock layer. The surrounding rock walls are covered with a thick gray-white metal, which is covered with inscriptions, which can effectively isolate the gas of erysipelas.
Only when this place is full will specialized personnel handle it for a second time. If this thing is discarded carelessly, it will pollute the mountains, rivers, and even the air. Once it is contaminated by mortal creatures, it will definitely die.
Once upon a time, there was a small country that dumped medicinal residues at will, leading to the death of all life in a river thousands of miles up and down the river. Feixian Cave was furious. The fate of this small country can be imagined. It was directly destroyed by the iron fist of justice.
As a force of justice and law, Feixian Dongtian will naturally set an example so as not to follow the truth, and will make great efforts to deal with the medicine residue every time.
Refining alchemy is a delicate job that takes time and effort. Therefore, although there are three hundred alchemy furnaces, Yan Xing ran away a few times and became idle.
Yan Xing looked around. The underground space was very busy. Those alchemists who had been temporarily idle were also adjusting their breath with all their strength. No one noticed him at all.
"Let me see how powerful this thing is."
He reached into his arms, took out the Qingguang Talisman, stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it. His stomach and intestines tumbled, and immediately a wave of heat rushed to his limbs.
Sure enough, there is extraordinary power on this talisman. [Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth] can digest it. Although it is weak, it is still comparable to eating half a meal of blood. The physical value has also increased by 0.003, and 9.6 kilograms of energy have been obtained!
Yan Xing was standing at the door of the medicine dregs storage room. Without the filtering protection of the Qingguang Talisman, the erysipelas entered the body in just an instant, and the skin became gray and withered. This was a sign of the death of a large number of cells in the body.
——
The main body is eroded by the erysipelas gas, and the flesh and blood withers. The main body undergoes an unknown mutation and evolves. The resistance to the poison of wood and stone increases, and merges with the biological poison resistance. The mutation allows the main body to control the poison, swallow the poison to nourish the body, and continues to increase...
Please name it.
Talent: Wan'e Poison Body!
——
Done!
Yan Xing was overjoyed. This talent was pretty good, and it had three effects: attack, practice gain, and defense resistance. It seemed like he would have to deal with poisons more in the future.
Your arsenic is my elixir.
Swallowing poison can not only enhance your cultivation, but also create a trump card for yourself. The method of poisoning is a good thing that can kill people invisible.
"Phew! Comfortable——"
Wrapped in the rich air of erysipelas, Yan Xing felt like he was soaking in a hot spring. Not only did his gray-white skin return to its original color, but it also shimmered with fluorescence. Every pore was swallowing erysipelas, and after inexplicable transformation, it became pure energy that nourished the body.
"I can go faster!"
This kind of physical improvement is long-term and continuous, not a short-term surge. When Yan Xing glanced at him, no one noticed him, let alone the ghost place of the medicine dregs storage room.
Sneaking and slipping, Yan Xing sidled into the storage room, reached out to grab the dregs of medicine, and crazily stuffed it into his mouth.
vomit!!
This disgusting smell was pungent, nauseating, and suffocating. Yan Xing only froze, but accelerated his devouring speed, and his face was horribly dull.
Compared to the evolution and power of life, what is this sin?
——
The subject's sense of taste is stimulated and undergoes unknown changes. It can control the perception of taste buds with thoughts, and can capture and sense odor particles in the air. It continues to strengthen...
——
Yeah, it seems like it's not easy for him to suffer. It's a small talent. There's no need to name something like this.
Various medicinal materials have different medicinal properties, which are essences. This essence is very complicated, and not all of them are needed by alchemists.
Therefore, the alchemist will only carefully extract the essence of the medicinal properties that he needs. The rest loses the value of secondary extraction and is directly abandoned in the medicinal dregs, becoming the so-called erysipelas.
Medicinal dregs have become a waste that everyone avoids because of erysipelas, but the energy contained in it itself is not much due to the residual medicinal essence.
At least it's better than those brutal beasts eating blood.
The medicinal materials that can be used to make elixirs are not ordinary things. They are precious medicines with strong spiritual energy. Their value is not comparable to those ordinary medicines used to stew barbaric meat.
"Yan! Brother——"
"Pull! Medicine! Scum!!"
The shrill cry could be said to be heartbreaking. He was really scared and didn't want to stay with the terrible medicine dregs for even a moment longer.
"Okay! Hiccup~~"
Yan Xing quickly shut up, a strong smell of medicine dissipated, jumped out of the storage room, lifted the cart and rushed out.
"Here it comes! The trolley is here!"
At a glance, the data on the self-test panel was updated. After several days of accumulation, it finally changed again. Physical strength was 6.1, and strength and agility became 5.1.
Just a moment ago, the erysipelas he swallowed gave him a numerical increase of 0.01, which is 32 kilograms of strength.
What if we stay here for half a day?
Yan Xing's heart felt hot, and he quickened his pace, shuttling back and forth between the alchemy furnaces, coming and going at the last moment. The servants were dumbfounded by the appearance of this dragon and tiger, while the alchemists secretly nodded,
Yes, he is a diligent little guy.
After clearing out a round of medicine dregs, as soon as he had some free time, Yan Xing would sneak around and eat furiously, even [Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth] was stimulated to the point where it continued to grow stronger.
The chores work in two shifts a day. They take over at noon, and it is not until midnight that the old disciples take over.
Everyone felt relieved, except Yan Xing, who was reluctant to leave, turning back three times every step of the way, fearing that someone would steal the dregs of his medicine, and wishing he could live here.
We took the elevator back to the ground, and when we walked out of the main hall, it was already a bright moon. When the crowd had gathered, a whirlpool gate appeared out of thin air.
"Yan Xing, wait!"
Looking back, it was the green-haired man named Li Bo who quietly put a pill into Yan Xing's hand and whispered: "This is what a master of alchemy asked me to give to you, Yan Xing.
Your hard work is appreciated by the adults, so do your best!"
Yan Xing: "..."
After several twists and turns, he returned to his small house. Yan Xing lay on the bed, admiring the self-examination panel over and over again, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise.
Body 6.5, strength 5.5, agility 5.5.
In half a day, my strength increased by 0.4,1280 kilograms!
The growth rate of this physical body is really exaggerated. In his previous life, he would have had to endure five years of hard work.
Thinking of this, Yan Xing couldn't help but feel dazed for a while, full of expectations for tomorrow.
