C1134 A Few Gusts of Wind
In the blink of an eye, another five days passed.
Yang Xuan followed Xuan Yu to all the places in the Bedlam Lands, and finally, Mu Tong returned from Pill Tower.
Actually, the Pill Tower was spread across the entire Central Province, but because the herbs he was going to get this time were more valuable, furthermore, he had brought Dugu Shang, an important figure, with him, directly back to the headquarters of the Pill Tower located in the western part of the Qing Country. After dealing with all kinds of matters, he returned to the Bedlam Lands.
On the morning of the sixth day, Yang Xuan was still sleeping when he was called up by Yuh Qingcheng.
Yang Xuan rubbed his sleepy eyes and went to the main hall of the Xuan Martial Pavilion. He saw the excitement on Mu Tong's face. Yang Xuan saw this and asked curiously, "Elder Mu, what kind of good news can make you so happy?"
Mu Tong nodded when he saw Yang Xuan. "It's still that disappointing junior brother of mine. After I bring him back... Master locked him up for a while. Although his views hadn't changed, his attitude had improved a lot. Perhaps it won't be long before he's willing to become a normal alchemist once again."
When Yang Xuan heard this, he also said, "Then, congratulations to Elder Mu. Also, congratulations to the Pill Tower for having another outstanding alchemist."
After the two of them exchanged some pleasantries, they went straight to the point.
When refining the pill, originally, according to Yang Xuan's thoughts, he just needed to find a random place to open the furnace, but Mu Tong said that he wanted to find a place where the Yang energy was exuberant. After flying in the sky with Yang Xuan and Loong Bupo for a long time, they finally decided to stay on a sand dune in the desert.
According to what Mu Tong said, when refining this Barrier Breaking Nirvana Pill, the Yang energy must be sufficient. Otherwise, it was very likely that it would not be able to neutralize the cold properties of the Purple Jade Carrot.
On the sand dune, Mu Tong set up a black-purple pill furnace. He proudly said to Yang Xuan, "Little friend, look. My violet sun furnace is one of the top alchemy furnaces in the world of alchemy. In particular, its ability to maintain heat is absolutely peerless. In the past, my master tried. After the pill refinement ended, cover the pill furnace and place it in a deep well. After being flooded by the well for a year, he took it out. After opening the lid again, I can still feel the hot air coming from inside. "
" Oh? There's such a thing?" Mu Tong's description surprised Yang Xuan, and he couldn't help but ask. This pill furnace was completely black and purple, and it was even slightly red under the sunlight. Yang Xuan placed his hand on top of it, and the sea could feel a slight heat.
On the left and right sides of the pill furnace, there was a circle of fist-sized holes. It was a place to breathe. However, under normal circumstances, this place was sealed up. It would only be opened when one needed to concoct pills. Then, the alchemist would insert the Spiritual Force into it. It'll generate flames on its own.
Of course, the alchemist could also turn the Spiritual Force into a flame and pour it into it, using it to refine the pill within.
After looking at the pill formula once, Yang Xuan also had a rough understanding of the pill refinement process. Although alchemists nowadays had all kinds of complicated and complicated styles and had a lot of fame, in the end, they could not separate themselves from the process.
He extracted the ingredients from the pill furnace or the pill furnace and combined them together.
Of course, there were many things that needed to be paid attention to. The degree of purification and the order of the fusion process. When the next medicinal ingredient was added, it required a long period of experience before it could be accumulated.
But these had nothing to do with Yang Xuan. What he needed to do was to help Mu Tong light the fire.
After adding the furnace, Mu Tong looked at Yang Xuan and asked, "Little friend, my furnace has a total of sixteen vents. How many can you control?"
"What's the difference?" Yang Xuan looked at Mu Tong and asked in confusion.
"The difference is huge. Every time you can control one more gust of wind, you can control it. The temperature will be higher, and the herbs that can be refined at the same time will also be higher. This pill furnace has accompanied me for a hundred years, and I can only control eight vents at the same time. It can be considered the best among the cultivators." Mu Tong explained to Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan nodded and sat cross-legged in front of the furnace. He placed his hand on a formation that was specially used to infuse Spiritual Force underneath the furnace and began to try it out according to Mu Tong's instructions.
Mu Tong stood beside Yang Xuan and observed him quietly. Of course, he had a motive for doing this. He only knew Yang Xuan's strength. Mu Tong would be able to better decide the steps of concocting the pill. Otherwise, Yang Xuan's strength wouldn't be able to keep up with him at the critical moment of concocting the pill. The consequences would be very serious. At the very least, the furnace of herbs would be destroyed. At the most, the furnace would explode.
Of course, Mu Tong's violet sun furnace had been reinforced with layers upon layers of magic, so it wouldn't easily explode. But, just the destruction of the medicinal herbs was enough to make Mu Tong's heart ache.
The Spiritual Force in his body flowed out from the wheel, splitting into two. The Three Essence Silence Spell Spiritual Force dissipated, and the Flame Separation Spell Spiritual Force appeared in Yang Xuan's palm. Then, it entered the pill furnace and lit up the opening.
The wind mouth lit up one by one. When it lit up the fourth time, a trace of surprise appeared in Mu Tong's eyes.
Back then, he was selected by his master from thousands of people who wanted to study in Pill Tower. This was enough to prove his talent. But even so, when he tried to light up the air vent of the pill furnace for the first time... He only lit up four.
And Yang Xuan was actually able to light up as much as he did.
However, that was not the end. After the flames emerged from the fourth wind vent, the flames in the fifth wind vent also stabilized from its shaky state.
"Tsk tsk, the psychic force isn't bad. It's a pity that you didn't become an alchemist with me." Mu Tong stroked his beard with his hand and sighed.
The Spiritual Force and realm were not important to an alchemist, unless there was a herb in the pill that was very difficult to refine. That was why he needed the Pill Master's time to use the Spiritual Force to light Ranhuo's flame. However, when faced with this kind of situation, alchemists could also borrow the help of others to achieve their goals.0
However, in contrast, the psychic force was the thing that alchemists needed the most. When alchemists refined pills, they often needed to be able to accurately understand the situation of every part of the pill furnace. Then, they could decide what changes they would make. If the psychic force was insufficient, it was very likely that they would fail when concocting pills.
Although Mu Tong's current strength was only at the Mid Sixth Stage, his psychic force was still on par with a Late Eighth Stage God Sensing Stage warrior.
Mu Tong looked at Yang Xuan curiously, and his eyes sparkled. He wanted to know how long Yang Xuan could last before he failed. Yang Xuan's current strength was only at the Early Seventh Stage. In his impression, he was still at the early Seventh Stage. A cultivator with such strength could only control six gusts of wind at most.
While Mu Tong was thinking, the sixth wind vents lit up. Under Mu Tong's surprised gaze, the flames in the seventh wind vent were also flickering.
