Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 141 Inner Alchemy
If you want to refine weapons, you have to use fire.

Use ordinary fire for ordinary utensils.

Dharma instruments,

You should use spiritual fire!
Taoist monks' essence, energy and spirit are combined into one, and they can generate true fire by themselves. True fire can be used to refine elixirs and weapons.

Innate Qi cultivators do not have such means.

Can only rely on external objects.

Earthly Evil True Fire is one of them.

Longshou Mountain is the node of the vital energy of heaven and earth. It is connected to the earth veins and also receives a stream of true fire from the earth.

"Senior brother."

The disciple guarding the underground fire met Zhu Ju and came to a cave. He led him inside and introduced:
"The Earth Fire is extremely fierce and requires a formation to guide it. The formation consumes spirit stones to operate, so if you want to use the Earth Fire, you need to pay a certain fee."

"Except for the core disciples who have a certain amount of free credits each year, it's the same for both the inner and outer sects."

"Yeah." Zhu Ju nodded, showing his understanding:

"How much does it cost?"

"Three days is the starting point, one spirit stone per day." The outer sect disciple said:
"If you spend a month, you can get a 10% discount."

"If you need the condensed Earthly Evil True Fire, you have to go to the Fire Vein of Heavenly Sword Peak. We don't have it here."

"One Spirit Stone every three days?" Zhu Ju paused, sighed, and took out a Spirit Stone from his Qiankun bag and handed it over.

"Three days first."

"Yes." The outer sect disciple responded, took the spirit stone, registered it, pushed open a stone door and said:

"The fire room with a token hanging on it is occupied by someone, and the fire room without a token hanging on it can be used at will."

Zhu Ju understood clearly.

The passage in front of me was very simple, with six stone doors scattered throughout, two of which had tokens hanging on them.

He pushed open the door of an unoccupied stone chamber, and was hit by scorching heat, causing the hairs on his body to expand and curl instantly.

If he had not yet achieved the state of innateness, he would probably be roasted on the spot.

"call……"

He exhaled lightly, and the Disha Xuan Gong was activated. The Disha true body, which had been slightly improved, showed a faint metallic luster.

The high temperature is immediately within the tolerable range.

The underground fire stone chamber is not big, only about ten square meters, and there is a large stove burning in the middle.

The firelight fell on his body, as if it was covered with a layer of red glow.

Earth fire!

Evil spirit!

Zhu Ju's eyes moved slightly.

Although the environment here is harsh, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort if used to practice the Disha Xuan Gong.

pity……

The fee is too expensive!

Shaking his head, he took out some ordinary iron from his Qiankun bag and threw it into the furnace.

At the same time, he circulated his true Qi using the methods described in the True Explanation of Weapon Refining, and remotely controlled the ordinary iron falling into the furnace.

"boom!"

Hard steel is like burning wood in front of the Earthly Evil True Fire, and the flames surge instantly.

All iron turns into molten iron at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Refining!"

Zhu Ju's eyes narrowed, and his ten fingers quickly formed seals, and streams of true energy were continuously transferred into the molten iron.

With the blessing and guidance of true Qi, the molten iron gradually twisted and deformed.

Until,

Transformed into a dagger.

"Dang Cang..."

A crooked dagger fell to the ground. The high temperature on it had not yet dissipated, and a red light was faintly visible.

Zhu Ju had only one word to describe the weapon he had refined for the first time.

ugly!
"Not urgent."

"This is just the beginning. And being ugly doesn't affect its usability. Besides, I haven't used hammer and anvil to shape it yet."

“Totally acceptable!”

After comforting himself, Zhu Ju took out some ordinary iron and broken weapons and threw them into the furnace.

It was naturally impossible for him to re-refine the five-pointed flying knife right away. Not to mention the waste of materials, he did not have the ability to do so.

You need to practice first.

Three days later.

Zhu Ju paid another nine spirit stones for renewal.

…………

Fire stone chamber.

Zhu Ju, with his upper body naked, was holding a hammer weighing hundreds of pounds and hammering the knife blank on the anvil.

"when!"

"when……"

Every time I raise my arms, I can see the muscles in my back moving.

As the heavy hammer fell hard, sparks flew on the anvil and the shape of the knife blank gradually became clear.

a long time.

"Dang Cang..."

Zhu Ju threw away the long sword that had already been formed, took a deep breath, and took out two weapons from his Qiankun bag.

Vertical and horizontal sword!

Nameless black knife!

The Zongheng Sword and the Black Sword had collided continuously before, and some cracks appeared, but it was not because of the poor quality of the material.

in contrast.

The material used for the Zongheng Knife should be stronger than that for the Black Knife.

However, there are many mortals in the world of Qi and Blood, and the methods of refining weapons are also mortal methods, so no matter how good the materials are, they cannot be used to their full potential.

The fact that a weapon forged using ordinary methods can withstand the Liuren Flying Knife has proven its extraordinary nature.

Although the nameless black knife was refined by a master, it was too narrow and long, and its shape did not suit Zhu Ju's usage habits.

thus……

Retrain!

"boom!"

As the two long swords were thrown into the furnace, the Earthly Evil True Fire seemed to have tasted something delicious, and the flames suddenly surged.

The entire stone chamber was like an oven, and even the slightly accomplished Disha true body showed signs of being unable to bear it.

"call……"

Zhu Juchang exhaled, exerted all his strength to activate the Five Mountains True Form Power, and even stuffed a few pills into his mouth.

Simultaneously.

"go with!"

He made hand seals and his eyes shone with intelligence. The true energy in his body turned into wisps of smoke and merged into the two swords.

The double swords, which were comparable to magic weapons, gradually melted and deformed under the continuous burning of the Earthly Evil True Fire.

Time passes slowly.

Yidu.

Zhu Ju, with a long sword hanging from his waist, appeared in the once bustling market, but now the place was deserted.

Touching his chin, he walked to a shop.

"Auntie Tian, ​​give me two boxes of five-bean cakes."

"okay."

The shop door was half open, as if ready to close at any moment. The skinny woman inside was busying herself when she heard the words.

After wrapping two boxes of cakes and handing them over, she blinked:
"It's you, sir!"

She knew the customer in front of her. Although she didn't come often, she would come every ten days or half a month. Every time she came, she would buy two boxes of five-bean cakes.

When tasting it, he praised it repeatedly, saying that it tasted a bit like the pastries in his hometown.

"it's me."

Zhu Ju nodded and asked casually:
"What happened in Yidu recently? Why are the streets so deserted? It's not like this usually."

"Master, are you not in Yidu recently?" Aunt Tian sighed when she heard this.

"There's a war!"

"The General's Mansion and the City Lord's Mansion started fighting, each accusing the other of betrayal, and it's unclear who is right."

She shook her head:
"No matter who is right, it has been over a month and we ordinary people have not had a peaceful life."

"It's more than just a lack of peace." Someone said:
"It should be said that people are living in dire straits."

"A group of warlocks and wizards are fighting recklessly, and countless people die in the city every day."

Zhu Ju paid for the pastry, took it, and turned to leave.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu."

But the visitor did not intend to let him go:
"The Tiandu Sect is the world's foremost sect and the imperial court's state religion, yet it condones evil and enslaves humans and demons."

"As the general of a city, Wan Zhengyang should have protected the people, but instead he levied heavy taxes and committed crimes."

"Don't you have anything to say?"

"What?" Zhu Ju opened a box of five-bean cakes, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, then glanced at the other party:
"Grave Immortal, you're just a businessman. When did you start worrying about such a big issue?"

The person who came was actually the ghost market merchant who had done business with him many times.

Immortal in the tomb!
For some reason, he became the Situ family's lobbyist.

Zhu Ju said while eating:

"I'm just a casual cultivator. Let them fight. I'll come back when the fight is over and the winner is decided."

He came to the world of magic just to relax his tired mood after refining weapons for a long time, and to see if the chaos here was over.

Not planning to get involved.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu."

The Immortal in the Tomb took a step forward and said:
"Ms. Kongli wants to see you to thank you for saving my life."

"Situ Kongli?" Zhu Ju said:
"There's no need for a meeting, but I'm quite interested in the method she has for refining the Bliss Spirit House."

"If you really want to thank me, please tell me the refining method."

"Well……"

"I remember that the materials from the shattered Paradise Spirit House were taken away by the City Lord's Mansion. That thing should be mine, right?"

The Paradise Spirit House was originally destroyed by him.

"Fellow Daoist, why do you keep people at a distance?"

The Immortal in the Tomb shook his head, unwilling to give up, and said:

"You killed Xing Suanzi and saved Miss Kong Li. Whether you like it or not, you are standing on the opposite side of Wan Zhengyang."

"and……"

"If Wan Zhengyang wants to become a true immortal, he will definitely slaughter the entire city to save himself. Even for the sake of the people of Yidu, we cannot allow him to do whatever he wants."

"To become a true man, a blood sacrifice is actually required?" Zhu Ju frowned upon hearing this.

"It seems I should stay away from Yidu."

"Daoyou..." The Immortal in the Tomb was speechless. He paused before saying:

"The Situ family has monster meat."

"Good stuff." Zhu Ju nodded.
"A few years ago, I might have been tempted, but now monster meat is of little use to me."

"Then..." The Immortal in the Tomb narrowed his eyes.

"Where is the demon beast's inner elixir?"

"Fellow Daoist, you can ignore the evil spirit of monster meat and use it to temper your body. I think the inner elixir of monsters is more effective."

Ok?
Zhu Ju paused.

…………

The inner elixir is the essence of the monster's body, which condenses its essence, energy and spirit, and is the storage place of its magical power.

Generally speaking.

With the inner elixir in its body, the monster must be extremely powerful.

In the main world, at worst, it is comparable to a great demon at the Dao Foundation level, or even stronger than that.

Ordinary monsters have their essence all over their bodies and cannot condense an inner elixir.

There are many benefits of inner alchemy.

It can be used instead of medicine to refine foundation-building pills. It is an indispensable ingredient in certain elixirs. Even if taken directly, it can greatly improve the practitioner's cultivation.

Its value far exceeds that of monster meat.

"Mr. Zhu."

In an inconspicuous manor, Situ Kongli, wearing a veil, sat across from the long table and sighed:
"It's really not easy to see you."

"Where is the demon beast's inner elixir?" Zhu Ju asked straight to the point:

"I strongly doubt that this is a cover-up."

Demonic beasts that possess inner elixirs are extremely rare even in the main world, and hunting them requires the efforts of multiple Taoists.

This way...

to be frank.

Even a so-called real person is unlikely to be stronger than a late-stage innate cultivator, let alone a Taoist monk.

in this way,

How to hunt down monsters that possess inner elixir?
"Don't worry, Master Zhu. The Situ family does have an inner elixir, left behind by an elder." Situ Kongli sat up straight.
"but……"

"I need something in exchange."

"Oh!" Zhu Ju frowned:
"What can I have on me that I can exchange for the inner elixir?"

"Yes!" Situ Kongli said:

"Iron Sha Stone!"

"Iron evil stone that can be used to refine magic-breaking weapons."

"Oh!" Zhu Ju understood. He had never thought that the Iron Evil Stone would become something that the Situ family was determined to obtain. He nodded immediately.

"can."

"But before that, I want to confirm that you do have the demon's inner elixir."

"This..." Situ Kongli hesitated for a moment:
"no problem!"

As he spoke, he took out a wooden box and opened it. There was some gray powder inside.

"Master, please look!"

Zhu Ju took the wooden box, pinched his fingers, and made an imperceptible hand seal. The powder in the wooden box immediately lit up a faint halo in his eyes.

Reiki!

Very rich spiritual energy.

but……

It is much weaker than the rumored inner elixir.

"Mr. Zhu." Seeing Zhu Ju's puzzled expression, Situ Kongli said calmly:

"This inner elixir has been kept in the Situ family for a hundred years. It's certainly more than just a decoration, so the power within it has inevitably been somewhat depleted. But it should be undoubtedly an inner elixir, right?"

Zhu Ju sat up straight, resting his chin on his hand as he fell into deep thought.

He had never come into contact with the inner alchemy of a demon beast, so it was difficult to tell the authenticity from the tiny amount of powder. However, it was true that it contained a huge amount of spiritual energy, which could also help to increase his cultivation.

Even if it is not the inner elixir, it is something similar.

"How many Iron Sha Stones do you want?"

"Ten thousand!"

"This is impossible!" Zhu Ju's face changed.

Although he had a lot of spirit stones and iron evil stones, and the mine sold iron evil stones to people of all identities, he still couldn't afford ten thousand iron evil stones.

"two thousand!"

"Two thousand at most, and you need to pay some extra spiritual jade as a deposit."

"Otherwise there's no need to talk!"
