Chen Yuxiang was startled, and when he turned around, he found that Xie Luying was looking at the vague ancient writings above the cave, her thin black eyebrows slightly frowned, and she murmured with some uncertainty.
"Yingying, do you recognize the characters above? Do you know all the characters outside?"
Xie Luying smiled sheepishly: "These characters are in Rakshasa script, so of course I know them. I don't know those characters."
"Oh, what does Anvilmar mean?" Chen Yuxiang also asked with some curiosity.
"Probably the King of the Mountain!"
"That's it." Chen Yuxiang nodded and looked up at the line of writing again. Only then did he realize that compared to the ancient writing on the collapsed temple, these lines of writing seemed a little fresher.
And just above these Rakshasa characters, there are also these more vague ancient characters. These characters are similar to the characters on the collapsed temples outside. It seems that the Rakshasa characters are for that.
The annotations made by several ancient texts are average.
"After the immortal ruins were discovered, haven't they been controlled by the Huaxia Kingdom? Why is there actually Rakshasa writing in the depths of the Cold Ridge Mountains? And the Rakshasa writing has existed for far more than 500 years...
..." Looking at the freshly carved Rakshasa characters, Chen Yuxiang also felt a trace of doubt in his heart.
"Forget it, never mind! What does it have to do with me?" Shaking his head, Chen Yuxiang smiled self-consciously: "I came here for the Purple Flame Zhuguo, not to investigate the origin of this immortal ruins!"
"Yingying, let's go! Go in and take a look, it's important to find the teleportation array." I don't know when, in Chen Yuxiang's mouth, Xie Luying changed from Miss Xie to Yingying.
"Yeah!" Xie Luying hummed very obediently, letting Chen Yuxiang hold her little hand and entered the Anvilmar cave.
The cave is extremely deep. At the entrance is an ancient foyer. Ancient carvings are also engraved on both sides of the passage, which is full of a sense of ancient vicissitudes. After passing through this ancient foyer, the eyes of the two people suddenly opened up.
What appeared in front of Chen Yuxiang and Chen Yuxiang was a huge cave. The entire cave was hundreds of square meters in diameter. The ground was paved with granite stones of different sizes, which were polished extremely smooth. However, the walls were rougher.
There are many, but the exposed granite is also full of textural beauty.
In the center of the hall, there is a huge fire pit, which is surrounded by black granite. The fire in the fire pit is burning brightly, shining with bright red light. It seems that it is always winter in Coldridge Mountain, and at this time, it is...
It looks like it's freezing cold, but inside this cave, because of the existence of the fire pit, it makes people feel as warm as spring.
"Is there anyone still living here? Why is there still a fire?" Xie Luying looked at the fire, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she said in surprise.
The cold outside was nothing to the monks, but Xie Luying felt very comfortable after entering this warm cave. But when she thought of the ancient temples outside that had obviously collapsed for many years, Xie Luying was naturally a little shocked.
This place has obviously been abandoned. Who lit the fire here? Could it be that there are still people living in this immortal ruins?
"Haha. Take a good look, is that a fire?" Chen Yuxiang chuckled.
"Ah! This, this is not a fire! This is a ground fire!" After looking at the fire pit seriously, Xie Luying exclaimed in surprise, with a look of shock on her face.
"Isn't it just an underground fire?" Chen Yuxiang said with a smile: "There has been no one here for thousands of years. If it wasn't an underground fire, how could it not go out all the year round!"
In the fire pit surrounded by black granite, the red hot liquid slowly rolled, and waves of scorching heat were emitted. There was also the sound of popping bubbles, emitting some unpleasant smells.
Obviously, those hot liquids are not furnace fire, but actual magma, which is what alchemists often call earth fire!
And that seemingly ordinary black granite is definitely not ordinary.
Xie Luying looked at the fiery red and elegant face with a look of intoxication: "Ah! Earth Fire! So beautiful!"
"Is it beautiful?" Chen Yuxiang was stunned, then relieved.
Only then did he remember that the girl next to him was not a vase, but a genuine second-level alchemist!
The most important thing in this method of alchemy is fire. Monks in the Qi Refining Stage can only use ordinary fire to make elixirs. Monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage and above can emit true fire from their bodies as long as they have fire-attribute spiritual roots in their bodies.
.
Ordinary fire can generally only be used to refine first-level and second-level elixirs. To refine second-level elixirs and above, ordinary monks can no longer use ordinary fire, but must use the real fire in their bodies.
.
Of course, we are talking about ordinary monks here, except for guys like Chen Yuxiang who have abnormal spiritual consciousness and abnormal spiritual roots.
The stronger the true fire in the body, the better the quality of the naturally refined elixir. Therefore, high-level monks have an inherent advantage in refining elixirs, because not only do they have strong spiritual consciousness, but the quality of the true fire in their bodies is also higher.
However, there is also a way to compensate for the intensity of real fire, and that is to use earth fire.
Earth fire also has levels. However, even the lowest level of earth fire is completely comparable to the true fire of a master in the Nascent Soul stage. And the higher level of earth fire is incomparable to the true fire of a monk in the transformation stage.
superior.
The earth fire used to make elixirs is completely different from the sea heart charcoal that Chen Yuxiang usually uses. It is entirely possible for low-level monks to use earth fire to refine elixirs to refine high-level elixirs. However, to do this,
But it is extremely difficult. Because few low-level monks can survive in an environment like the crater.
Wherever there is earth fire, over time, the essence of earth fire will often appear. The essence of earth fire is definitely a heaven-defying treasure for alchemists.
If the essence of earth fire can be subdued, it can also promote the slow evolution of the fire spirit root. Therefore, earth fire is also the goal pursued by the alchemists of Jiuzhou Continent.
It is very dangerous to obtain earthly fire, because the location of earthly fire is often the location of volcanoes. Ordinary Nascent Soul stage monks will perish if they fall into the raging magma ocean. It is a joke to try to make elixirs in the crater of a volcano.
, not to mention getting a trace of earth fire essence!
With Chen Yuxiang's spiritual consciousness, he has naturally already seen that the seemingly ordinary black granite fire pit is actually an extremely clever confinement formation. This fire pit is connected to the underground magma ocean. If it weren't for this confinement formation, the magma inside would have been destroyed.
It erupted.
After spending so much time together, Chen Yuxiang has naturally known for a long time that this girl is a complete pill controller. The fact that she has become a level 2 alchemist at a young age shows this.
Chen Yuxiang himself has the alchemy magic in "Baopuzi" and a very strong fire spirit root. This earth fire and the earth fire essence in it are not of much use to him, but to Xie Luying, who is obsessed with alchemy, it is
It's definitely a huge temptation.
Xie Luying only had the coquettish earth fire in her eyes at this time. She stared straight at the fire pond, with a look of surprise and regret on her face. It was obvious that she was happy that she was lucky enough to see the earth fire.
However, she also realized that although there was extremely strange and imprisoned earth fire here, for her, she could only enjoy refining elixirs here, and it was simply impossible to conquer the essence of earth fire inside.
"Yingying, do you want this earth fire essence, do you want it very much, or do you want it very, very much?"
A mean voice suddenly sounded in Xie Luying's ears.
"Uh... you have something you can do?" Xie Luying was startled, turned around, and saw Chen Yuxiang looking at her with a smile. She was stunned and reacted instantly, and her pretty face turned red with excitement.
"Haha! Just tell me if you want it or not!" Chen Yuxiang raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Brother Shen! I want it, of course I want it! Bah!" Miss Xie suddenly realized that her words seemed to have a problem with her speech. A hint of embarrassment appeared on her face, she spat softly and said repeatedly: "Brother Shen
, help me, okay!"
"Look at me!" Chen Yuxiang smiled slightly, walked to the fire pond, pinched the thumb of his right index finger, and a small flame appeared on his thumb.
"Really hot? How is it possible? You, aren't you in the Qi refining stage? You have always lied to me!" Xie Luying said in surprise when she saw Chen Yuxiang playing this trick.
No wonder Xie Luying was confused. True fire can only be emitted in the foundation-building stage. Monks in the Qi-refining stage use ordinary fire to make elixirs. And Chen Yuxiang has always sworn that he is indeed in the Qi-refining stage.
"I swear on my inner demon, I am really in the Qi refining stage!" Chen Yuxiang touched his nose and said helplessly: "But I am the owner of 10% of the fire spirit root, so how can I explain it with common sense? The so-called genius
, that’s for people like me!”
The expected "Tch!" did not appear. Miss Xie was silent for a long time, and suddenly nodded heavily and said: "No matter you are the bad boy in the Qi refining period, or an old monster who has lived for thousands of years, anyway,
