Chapter 285: Water and Fire Alchemy, Tide-Watching Conch (Please Order the Whole Book)
Li Qing took Li Yu and moved out of Liu He's cave that day and rented a temporary cave at the Xiancheng Management Office.
Li Qing did not tell Li Yu about what happened in the alchemy room, and Li Yu did not ask.
"Has the foundation-building spiritual object you are interested in been approved? When will it be auctioned?" Li Qing asked.
Li Yu took out a post: "I have figured it out. The auction will officially start the day after tomorrow. Thanks to you, I got a private room."
Li Qing nodded: "Come to me then. The auction is full of good and bad people, and I can only ensure that there is no problem with my company."
Li Yu nodded in agreement.
Li Qing found a quiet room in the cave, closed the ban, and opened the jade box containing the red fruit first.
Three red fruits were arranged in a Chinese character "品", with a faint fruity fragrance, and the smell made the true essence more lively.
Red fruit is a peculiar spiritual fruit that can only be planted by cuttings. There is no fruit core seed in the fruit, so it can only be taken, and cannot be planted again.
With a thought, he summoned Asun, Atzao and Chaoyin, three little elves who had already established their foundation.
"Yaa!" "Wu Li!" "Gu Ka!" The three little guys who had been holding back for a long time were so happy as if they were letting out the wind.
Li Qing rubbed their little heads one by one, then pointed to the three red fruits in the box: "Here, one for each person, digest it well, don't waste it."
Although the red fruits belong to the fire element, they have a magical property, that is, no matter what the spiritual root is, they can enhance the strength of the person who takes them.
The three little ones naturally understood the benefits of the red fruit, and shook their heads like rattles, indicating that he should keep them for himself.
Li Qing smiled and said, "I'm already at the fifth level of foundation building now. The three of you are still in the early stages of foundation building, and your strength is a bit behind."
"Eat this fruit, and you can help me better if you can be equal to me sooner. Be good, don't stand there, eat quickly."
Azao, the foodie among the three children, was the first one who couldn't resist the temptation of the red fruit, and she started to eat it with a "ah ah ah".
While eating, a fire of nirvana appeared on her body, flickering, as if absorbing the essence of the fire element in the red fruit.
A Sun didn't hesitate anymore, and started to eat the second one.
The pure essence of the spirit fruit mixed with Qingmu's true essence, strengthening his true essence little by little. The power of the fire element in it spontaneously tempered his true essence.
Chao Yin, who belonged to the water spirit, finally picked up the red fruit reluctantly. He really didn't want to eat this fruit, after all, the attributes conflicted.
However, when the red fruit was bitten open, the sweet juice flowed into his mouth, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Guka!" (Delicious!)
Li Qing couldn't help but smile, letting the three little guys taste the red fruit, while he took out the fire-attributed Qingling grass.
He imitated the formula of Qingling Powder, adjusted the monarch, ministers, assistants and messengers, and re-prepared a pill recipe.
"Clang!" The spiritual tool pill furnace fell to the ground, just located at the spiritual node of the entire cave.
Li Qing pointed casually, and the Nirvana Fire flew into the furnace to preheat.
Then, the fire-attributed Qingling grass, jade branches, rock core lotus and other first-level spiritual medicines were put into the furnace one by one, and the pills were refined.
"Puff--" Choking smoke came out of the air holes of the pill furnace.
Fortunately, Li Qing reacted in time, rolled up the smoke with Huifeng, then drenched it with Ganlin, and finally burned it with a higher temperature Nirvana Fire.
The first attempt at refining the pill failed!
But Li Qing didn't care. After thinking for a moment, he made a slight adjustment to the proportion of various spiritual plants in the prescription.
This time, the furnace didn't smoke, but exploded directly.
The three little guys who had just finished eating, although not startled, turned their heads curiously to see what he was playing.
"I'm testing the medicinal properties of the new spiritual herbs to see what kind of elixirs I can make." Li Qing explained.
"If this thing can be used as medicine together with ordinary Qingling grass, it may help me practice the theory of water and fire complementing each other."
The three little guys nodded in understanding and continued to watch him explode the furnace in various ways.
Finally, when half of the fire-attributed Qingling grass was used up, a warm fragrance overflowed from the furnace.
Li Qing opened the furnace and saw a small pile of rose-red medicinal powder hanging inside.
He scooped a little with a medicine spoon, tested it with the medicine identification technique first, and then put it in his mouth to taste.
The medicinal powder melted in his mouth, releasing a faint warmth, and there was no other taste.
Li Qing savored it in his mouth for a while before taking it with saliva. He immediately felt refreshed and a little uplifted.
However, this medicine powder is only a low-grade first-grade medicine powder after all. How can it affect Li Qing, who is in the middle stage of foundation building?
His spiritual consciousness turned slightly, and he calmed down the emotions that arose from taking the powder.
"As expected, the medicinal properties of this fire-type Qingling grass are different from those of Qingling grass. The two can complement each other and can be used by me!"
Having determined this characteristic, Li Qing did not delay. After leaving enough for cultivation, he divided the remaining fire-type Qingling grass into many parts and prepared a new pill formula with ordinary Qingling grass.
"Well, the name of fire-type Qingling grass is a bit difficult to pronounce. Why not change it? Since you belong to the fire element, the first batch of pills you refine will smoke, so let's call you Yanling grass."
The three little ones laughed at the words.
After watching for a while, Asun and Chaoyin lost interest and returned to Dantian to play with other spirit insects.
As a capable assistant, Azao helped him to prepare the pill formula, control the temperature, and try to refine a new pill powder.
Unfortunately, Qingling Grass and Yanling Grass are not like Shuihuo Lingmi, which have both water and fire properties.
Li Qing and Azao tried many times and tried every possible way, but they were still not able to combine the two homologous and different spiritual herbs into a new elixir.
However, they did find a ratio that could stably and reproducibly produce a furnace explosion.
Li Qingfu was so happy that he wrote down the formula directly: "Hey, go back and spread it to your disciples, and see who can figure out a new thunderbolt or something like that."
After many unsuccessful attempts, Li Qing and Azao became more and more excited.
On the third day, Li Yu came to knock on the door, and the two of them barely stopped.
Looking at the medicine residues and failed products dumped everywhere in the quiet room, Li Qing and Azao smiled at each other.
"Hmm!" Azao flashed back to the Dantian and threw the mess to her master.
Li Qing used his spiritual sense to knock her head with a smile, summoned the Nirvana Fire, and wrapped all the waste.
"Hoohoo..." The flames burned fiercely, and the temperature continued to rise, burning everything into smoke.
He opened the door of the quiet room, and Li Yu shrugged his nose and smelled around: "Hey! What's this strange smell?"
Li Qing flicked his long sleeves, and the breeze blew from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, finally removing the strange smell of alchemy.
"Aren't we going to the auction? Let's go now." Li Qing suggested calmly.
Li Yu suddenly became energetic and happily led the way in front, while negotiating with Li Qing: "If the spiritual stones given by the family are not enough, can you lend me some on credit?"
Li Qing was a little surprised: "Isn't it a black water stone that you are interested in? Although this thing is precious, the spiritual stones given by the family can definitely be bought at a premium."
Li Yu shook his head: "I changed my target. A new batch of spiritual materials was announced at the auction, and there is a tide-watching conch in it. This thing is more suitable for "The Secret of the Sea Tide Rising"."
Li Qing raised his eyebrows slightly: "Tide-watching conch? This thing is hard to come by..."
