Chapter 174 Preparing to Advance

Chapter 174 Preparing to Advance

At 11:40 in the evening, Huai Shi seemed to have set an alarm clock, opened her eyes from her dream, washed her face in her pajamas, pushed open the door of the basement, and went straight down to the cellar along the zipline.

In the familiar sweltering heat, only the low-quality air purifier hums.

"Is it time?"

Huai Shi just sat down on the ground, staring at the silently running cauldron among the layers of steel in front of him—or, it should be called the rune sealing furnace.

This thing that looks like a huge hot water bucket that was set up during a rural banquet is not surprising. It cost Huai Shi more than 3 million yuan, and it was a second-hand product that was eliminated from a regular alchemy workshop.

In Crow's words, you can't buy a brand new one with 30 million yuan, so you might as well buy a second-hand one that can be used, because it will be thrown away after one use anyway.

One-time refining furnace.

With such a luxury, Huai Shi only hoped that it would be worth the money.

Without a clock, the crow listened to the muffled echo in the furnace, "It's still five minutes away."

No one spoke in the silence.

Apart from the humming of the purifier, there was only the faint sound of water dripping from the furnace.

Different from other alchemy kettles, this kind of furnace adopts the method of hydroponic low-temperature cold refining. It uses a special solution to fully atomize the material and then carries out molecular-level coupling and extraction. It sacrifices time and efficiency and pursues absolute security. and mild.

In the words of the developer, no matter how flammable and explosive explosives you make with overload, there will never be any explosion.

Absolutely no leakage, absolutely safe.

Huai Shi can only hope that what they say is true.

Otherwise, if the things inside leak out, not to mention the Stone Marrow Pavilion, the entire Qingxiu Mountain behind will be at risk of being polluted.

Most of the things that sublimators study are like this. They must be very careful or risky. A slight mistake or omission will create a hell on earth.

What is being refined and purified in it now is an out-and-out poison.

According to the crow's formula, half of Huai Shi's blood is used as the base material. Like mixing wine, it has gone through hundreds of processes within three days. After mixing various materials, it will be full of pure negative Energetic Shadeblood reinvented as a toxin of all primal malice and dark essence.

Both the most primitive plague formula and the essence of wolfsbane are contained in it, followed by smallpox, dengue fever, Ebola and other horrible plagues that must be properly preserved in various biochemical laboratories, and there are even various rumors. Viruses and bacteria at the border...

During the whole process, what the crow showed was a terrifying skill that was enough to win the leader even in the World Finals of the Kitchen Demon Competition.

Even if she recalled the scene of carefully operating these things a few days ago, Huai Shi herself would have nightmares.

The things he made to kill crows in the past two days are completely childish in front of it, not even worthy of carrying shoes.

And in the crow's work, one-third of it is to create this poisonous poison that mutates so fast that it can be calculated in seconds, and the remaining two-thirds are to use various methods to degrade it and return it to its original state. The ancestor, after preserving the most basic mechanism, forced it to enter the most stable sleeping state.

It's like creating a demon and then forcing it into a baby.

If Huai Shi could understand a little bit in the first third, then in the latter part, he would have no idea how the crow accomplished such an unimaginable miracle.

and……

"What exactly is the plan?" Huai Shi asked: "It's a waste of effort to build a building and then flatten it, leaving only the foundation?"

"Doesn't this prove that this piece of foundation is enough to support a towering building?"

The crow said calmly: "It is enough to prove this."

Huai Shi wanted to ask again, but heard the crisp echo from the furnace.

The long smelting has come to an end.

"Go and turn off the air purifier and ventilation fan first." Crow said cautiously: "Just in case."

Soon, all electrical appliances were turned off.

Huai Shi pulled up layers of cover plates, and then completely sealed the last alloy gate, cutting off the connection between inside and outside, and the narrow cellar became more and more oppressive.

Fortunately, the crow is not a living thing, but a ball of ink, and he can enter the ghost state, minimizing the need for oxygen and avoiding the end of suffocation.

And with the opening of the furnace doors layer by layer, in the atomized liquid ammonia and various solution vapors that suddenly escaped, a test tube with crystal water droplets rose slowly from the very core.

In the test tube, about 20 milliliters of blood had been refined until it was colorless, and it looked like a new type of normal saline, unremarkable.

In the cold of liquid ammonia, it maintains a liquid state. Once it returns to normal temperature, it will quickly vaporize. At that time, demons with infinite variables will occupy every corner of the entire cellar.

If no one took the initiative to catalyze it, in a few days, tens of thousands of viruses would erupt from it as if they were going to a market, completely turning this place into a restricted area.

"are you ready?"

The crow looked back at him.

Huai Shi subconsciously took a deep breath, held it, and nodded slowly. Carefully picked up the tweezers, and then opened the box beside him.

Inside the box was one of the few prizes he had seen in the lounge, a plain looking broken bowl containing a handful of ashes.

That was a gift he got from a judge of the Magic Chef Competition.

I don't know what's going on, but I just have good taste in choosing masks.

In the words of the crow, it is not very useful - although it is not in the plan, but since it is encountered, it is a surprise to be able to use it.

Although it looks like a bowl, it seems that some law has been imposed. No matter how shaken it is in the hand, the ashes in the bowl will not fall out of the bowl no matter how tumbled. Even if turned upside down, it will hover in the air inside the bowl.

It's like being chained inside.

But this bondage is extremely fragile, and even only needs a pair of tweezers to pierce it.

When Huai Shi's tweezers were inserted into it, countless ashes suddenly collapsed inward as the tweezers closed, and finally turned into a speck of dust caught in the middle by the tweezers.

The almost endless resentment and anger condensed into one point.

It was a dark essence far beyond the ash of robbery, and it was a crystallization of disaster that could throw Huai Shi's negative energy hundreds of thousands of streets away.

Huai Shi couldn't imagine what kind of fate and experience would cause people to be burned to ashes, but still have such a large scale of resentment and despair.

But now, with the swing and release of the tweezers, that grain of ash silently fell into the test tube.

It merged with a virus with endless troubles.

There is no contradiction or abnormality at all, nor any rejection or resistance, the two are combined into one, as if they were born this way.

As a result, the unconscious virus seemed to be endowed with a dark soul, setting off waves of gray ripples, countless colors changed rapidly, and in the end, it turned into pitch blackness that even countless scorching suns could hardly penetrate.

"So, that's how it happened."

The crow quickly closed the cover of the test tube, and breathed a sigh of relief, as if relieved: "Although this kind of thing has no technical content, it is terribly exciting to do in such an environment where there is almost no protection. If something goes wrong, your house will blow up..."

"Can we find another place next time?" Huai Shi wiped off her cold sweat, "There are so many unoccupied places on Qingxiu Mountain, but they must be at my house."

"Don't forget, the stone marrow hall is equivalent to a semi-finished spiritual coffin. With an old house here, it's like having a spiritual coffin to suppress the earth veins and floating spirits. At least the purity of the source quality can be guaranteed. You think alchemy is a treat for dinner. Is it enough to find a place to set up a table? Even if it’s a treat, it’s not so careless, right?”

The crow carefully put the test tube into the freezer covered with dry ice, and nodded in satisfaction: "In this way, we can start to improve the ghost."

As she said that, she pointed to the floor bed in the middle of the cellar, and her tone became charming, like a late-night female anchor: "Okay, lie down quickly, time is precious, let's not waste it."

Huai Shi rolled her eyes.

Sure enough, expecting this woman to be more serious is a waste of time.

Huai Shi lay down on her back, leaned against the pillow, rolled up the sleeves of her pajamas, and skillfully tied the rubber band herself, then flicked her pale forearm, looking at the protruding blood vessels on it.

"Come on." He closed his eyes, not daring to look any further: "Don't pity me just because I'm a delicate flower..."

Crow was stunned for a long time, and then said embarrassingly, "Sorry, this stalk is so old, I didn't realize it for a while."

"...Just hurry up, OK?"

Huai Shi was completely powerless.

The big characters are flattened, waiting for the next transformation of the crow.

If you want to explain it in a concise way, it is that he is going to do a hemodialysis.

That's right, this is the shortcut for Huai Shi to advance from ghost to mountain ghost in Crow's plan.

As the legendary spirits and ghosts walking in the mountains, they were once confused as miracles of the gods. In fact, the mountain ghost stigmata in the pedigree of the kingdom of heaven are actually descended from ghosts in essence.

Their talent lies in the ability to spread their attributes to the surrounding environment.

The only difference is the medium.

Ghosts pass through the source quality, and the advanced mountain ghost can also obtain the vitality that is fully compatible with plants in addition to the original source quality fog.

In fact, this talent is really suitable for growing flowers and plants...

It's just that unlike the tree shepherds of the druids, the mountain ghost cannot make plants grow and wither out of thin air, but achieves the effect of giving and extracting through the circulation of vitality.

In short, after advancing, in addition to the effect of the mist of catastrophic ash will be greatly enhanced, Huai Shi will also gain the attribute of plant affinity, as well as the ability to give and extract the vitality of plants to a certain extent.

It is simply a small expert in planting grass.

The original advancement was not so simple, but with the Urn of Blood in hand, the long ritual and painful transformation can be omitted, and the best results can be obtained in the fastest and least labor-saving way.

And in the process...

On a whim, Crow planned to add some material to Huai Shi.
