Volume One: If Life Is Just Like the First Meeting Chapter 112: Lightning Strikes Wood to Make Fire
.In this strange place, the summer heat can make people feel breathless even in the dark. There will be heavy rains for several days every few days, making the silt in the rain forest more and more dense. The muddy it is, the harder it is to walk.
This made Su Ming very uncomfortable. Although there were heavy rains in Wushan where he grew up, they rarely rained like this. For more than a month, the rain rarely stopped.
Su Ming's injuries became more and more serious, and the feeling of weakness (Baidu Magic Bar, official yy: 3943) increased day by day. Even if he suppressed it with meticulous control and nourished it with moonlight, as time went by, he was able to exert There are only eighty blood lines.
Deep in the rain forest, among the many undulating mountains despite being short, there was a naturally formed crack on a hill, where Su Ming sat cross-legged.
There is no water here, but the surrounding mountain walls are damp. If you put your hands on it, you can feel the cold seepage. There are some burned wood ashes on the ground. Su Ming has been living here these days.
This natural crack is shaped like a gourd, neither big nor small. It can be used as a shelter from the rain and a place for Su Ming to quench his body. There were many cracks like this in the mountains. Su Ming didn't waste much time in finding this relatively hidden cave.
"Although it rains constantly here, the growth of vegetation is also extremely lush. There are also some strange herbs, and even the Thousand Leaf Grass obtained from Dusen." Su Ming's eyes flashed and he looked down. At a glance, there was a pile of herbs on the ground not far ahead.
These are the herbs he found during this month, walking cautiously in the rainforest in heavy rain.
Looking at the pile of herbs, Su Ming stood up from his lotus position. He felt as if his body was wet. It was so wet that it made him very uncomfortable.
"It's a pity that there are many medicinal herbs here, but there is no Luo Yunye, so it is impossible to refine Shanling Powder. However, most of the medicinal herbs for refining Qingchen Powder and Nanli Powder are complete, except... Shuo Yezhi."
Su Ming frowned. This was also the reason why he had been unable to refine the medicine stone in the past month. At this moment, he woke up from trance and was still thinking about this matter.
The sound outside was still falling, and from time to time there was a muffled roar of thunder. Su Ming was somewhat accustomed to such sounds. He walked forward in silence, followed the cracks to the entrance of the cave, and saw it at the first sight. Lightning flashed fiercely in the dark sky, forming a large area of lightning. Then, thunder started again, as if someone was roaring in the sky, shocking the earth.
The flash of electric light illuminated the ground for a moment, but it turned into darkness in an instant. Heavy rain fell on the ground, and a lot of rain rushed towards Su Ming's face.
Su Ming took a deep breath. The sultry heat of that season dissipated slightly. Here, it was actually more comfortable than in the cave. Although it was much more humid, it still felt a bit cooler.
Looking at the dark sky and earth, everything here is unfamiliar, even the rain is not familiar, but Su Ming no longer reveals his loneliness in his expression, but hides it deeply, his eyes In peace, looking at the heaven and earth, revealing deep thoughts.
"How can we temper it without Shuo Yezhi? Do we really have to leave this rainforest in our current weak state to search outside..." Su Ming frowned more and more.
For a long time, Su Ming sighed, but at this moment, suddenly the thunder continued in the sky, and a bolt of lightning seemed to come from the sky. The moment it cut through the sky, it seemed that it was too close to the rain forest, and it suddenly struck After changing the direction, in Su Ming's eyes, the lightning came down like a straight line, and landed in the rain forest with a bang. Immediately afterwards, a black smoke rose into the sky between the lightning, and more fire appeared. The fire went out, but the moment Su Ming saw this scene, his heart was shocked.
At this moment, there was a flash of inspiration in his mind! flash.
"The Shuo Ye Zhi should not be suitable for growing here. I remember (Baidu Magic Bar, official yy: 3943) this medicine is very common in Wushan. Every time I pick it, something like sparks will flicker and fall on it. My body feels as if it has been burned by fire. I think this flickering night branch should contain the power of fire, but here it rains continuously and is damp, so this medicine cannot grow."
When Su Ming was in Wushan, he didn't think too much about it, but now, he was alone in this strange place and had to rely on himself for everything. His eyes flashed, staring at the depths of the rain forest before being struck by lightning. Where it hits.
He swayed, took a few steps back, and returned to the cave. He raised his hand and took out one of the herbs. Su Ming looked at it intently.
"This is the iron core, this thing..." Su Ming flicked his finger on it, and there was an immediate reverberation of the lock, like the collision of gold and stone.
"The thing contained in this thing should be the power of iron and stone, so this herb is very hard and difficult for ordinary people to pick."
"There is also this herb, which grows extremely densely. I rarely paid attention to it before, but now..." Su Ming picked up another herb and pinched off a leaf, only to see that this herb was cut off. There was juice flowing out of the wound, but in just one stick of incense, the juice in the wound condensed and seemed to form a bone. Su Ming knew that if this herb was planted on the ground, it would not take long for the wound to heal. There will be inner leaves growing again, full of vitality, which is very strange.
"I didn't think much about the five herbs used in Tempering Qingling Powder before, but now it seems that they are clearly five different attributes.
The power of iron and stone, the power of vitality, and the fire of the twinkling night. As for the other two medicinal materials, they are also the most common ones here that contain the power of water and... What this medicinal herb needs is not its branches and leaves, but the ones buried underground. rhizome. "Su Ming's eyes were filled with deep thought, staring at a kind of rhizome stuck to the soil in the pile of herbs.
"It should be the power of earth!"
"Five different attributes are used to temper the strange Qingchen powder. Now it is missing one... But, if the principle of this medicinal stone is like this, I may be able to... find a replacement!" Su Ming's eyes flashed. , this problem troubled him for some time, and now after seeing the lightning strike, it suddenly became clear.
He immediately turned around, and his whole body turned into an afterimage. After exiting the crack in the cave, he suddenly rushed out in the heavy rain. The rain fell on his body, and soon soaked him all over, along with his hair. It was flowing, but Su Ming was extremely fast, speeding along the hill, entering the rain forest below, and heading towards the place where he had just seen where he was struck by lightning.
The ground of the rain forest was covered with mud, and there were countless rotting leaves, exuding a damp smell. In the heavy rain, there were even more roaring sounds. Su Ming's body shuttled through the rain forest, flickering, and soon after , he jumped up and squatted on a slippery lining branch. In front of him, he saw a towering tree. This lining was obviously much higher than the other lining trees, but at this moment it was a mature tree. It turned black, and the branches turned into gray, looking like a wreckage.
There were still bursts of black air coming out, and even though it was raining all around, Su Ming could still feel the terrifying pressure remaining nearby.
He looked at it for a moment, jumped up from the branch, and approached the large black dry lining. He raised his hand and touched it, and felt a warm feeling. Although there was no rain on the outside, But Su Ming used a little force with his five fingers, grabbed it deeply, and immediately felt the dryness inside.
"The power of the lightning strike, related to fire, fell on this lining at that moment, causing the water vapor in the originally humid tree to dissipate and become a dry tree. Burning when struck by lightning.
Here, nothing else has the power of fire more than the burning lining. "Su Ming jumped up, and the eighty blood lines on his body suddenly flashed with blood. He shot several times on the big lining, and the roaring sound echoed in the room. The whole skin of the village shattered and exploded. Out of the number of hearts radiating heat.
Su Ming's right hand formed a knife, and with a fierce slash, he immediately cut off the heart of the tree, which was more than three feet high, divided it into several pieces and quickly put them into the damaged bag.
But the bag had a limited capacity after all, and there were still a few pieces that couldn't be put in. Su Ming carried it on his body and galloped through the rain forest towards the cave.
"Actually, the fire contained in my blood can be used, or it can be used to burn the lining wood with fire to achieve the effect of shining night branches, but compared with the thunder and lightning fire in the sky, this thing is better!" Su Ming galloped Suddenly, many thoughts came to mind. Not long after, he braved the rain and returned to the crack and entered the cave.
Su Ming was slightly out of breath. He put down the dry, black and slightly warm pieces of paper, and took out the linings from the damaged bag. Looking at the materials, he took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged, and adjusted his breath. After two sticks of incense, Su Ming suddenly opened his eyes and raised his right hand. As soon as his mind moved, he heard a burst of fire and saw a ball of fire suddenly rising from his right hand.
The fire gave off scorching heat and baked the surrounding area, making the cave suddenly bright. Su Ming's expression was extremely solemn. He carefully controlled the flame in his hand with his meticulous skills. After observing for a moment, he waited for the fire in his hand to glow. After stabilizing himself, he quickly took out the herbs for refining Qingchen Powder from the pile of herbs beside him with his left hand, and carefully put them into the flame in his right hand.
This is because after he came to this strange place, he couldn't find a place like Black Flame Peak, but because of the existence of fire in his own energy and blood, and after the battle with Bitu, Su Ming felt that there was something wrong with him. , seems to be different from before. For example, this fire, he does not need blood to make it appear.
That's why I came up with a method of tempering medicine by using my hands as a cauldron.
Su Ming had refined the Qingchen Powder many times and was familiar with every step. However, this was the first time he had used his hands as a medicine cauldron to refine it. After a brief period of discomfort, he slowly mastered the technique. .
The lightning struck the heart of the tree, which was the last thing put in. Seeing the five materials melting and merging in the flames in his hands, Su Ming concentrated his energy and calmly tempered it. (!.
