Chapter 0524 Alchemy

A tall and spacious tent was built on the edge of the camp. Three Taoist priests from the elixir department, two Taoist priests from the Honglu department, and two Taoist priests from the divine engineering department were busy preparing to refine elixirs. It was not possible to do such a thing in a remote snow-capped mountain with no birds or animals. easy.

First of all, the Taoist priests of Shengong Branch not only have to build alchemy rooms, but also make a series of items such as mortars, pestles, bottles, bowls, pots, etc. In order to prevent the mutual penetration of medicinal properties, most of these items can only be used once, and each Taoist family has a large inventory. But here we can only make it now and use it now.

The Hongluke Taoist priests set up a very small furnace without the lunar fire of Wandi Mountain. The two of them had to take turns using their own magic power to maintain the flame and constantly smelt gold soul, silver soul, various steels, demon elixirs, etc. , part of which is supplied to the Taoist priests of the Shen Gong Department, and part of which is reserved for formal alchemy.

At the same time, the Taoist Priest of the Alchemy Department was busy checking dozens of medicinal materials, classifying them into categories, and calculating the dosage. Xinghua Feiying and dead demon species were the main ingredients, and other auxiliary ingredients were also very important. They can make the antidote more gentle. , and adapt to Taoist priests with different realms and physiques.

Although there were nearly a hundred Taoist priests in the camp, entering the land of monsters this time was a complete accident. No one expected to bring too many supplies, so the materials were still very scarce, and many times they had to make do.

Meng Xu, a Taoist priest from the Zhaoshan Dan Medicine Department, is a little nervous. She is one of the only two smoke-eating Taoist priests in the team, but she is more accustomed to following other people's arrangements rather than making her own decisions. Every time she finds that there is a lack of materials, her heart will He brought it up, looked at his companions helplessly, and said tangledly: "What should I do?"

There was nothing the others could do. Priest Tunyan was not confident yet, and they were even more flustered. Two Taoist priests from the Divine Engineering Department accidentally broke five clay bowls. They looked at each other with anger hidden in their eyes. They both thought they belonged to Meng Xu. wrong.

Gan Zhiquan walked in at this time and stood at the door and scanned it.

The seven Taoist priests stopped what they were doing and looked at Gan Zhiquan blankly. They didn't know how to deal with this Taoist priest. Was he alive or dead? Is he possessed or is he normal? Is it freedom or a puppet? No one could tell, not even himself.

"How is the progress?" Gan Zhiquan asked. He has always been the recognized leader of the demon-invading Taoist priests. Unlike Mu Xingqiu, he is "one of his own", but now he has become an "outsider".

"Uh... not bad." Meng Xu put a dozen Xinghua Feiying in his hand on the table, accidentally dropped one, and hurriedly cast a spell to suck it up, showing a bit of panic.

She is a Taoist priest who swallows smoke, but when she stands in front of a Taoist priest who eats Xia, she is as reserved as a disciple who breathes.

An older Taoist priest from the Honglu Branch couldn't bear it any longer and said, "A few materials are missing, and a few are not in sufficient quantity, but these are not big problems. The key is -" He glanced at Meng Xu. , "We are inexperienced and the conditions here are too simple. We don't know what the final elixir will look like."

Meng Xu's face turned red. She was the host. If the alchemy failed, she would have to bear the greatest responsibility. She whispered: "In Zhaoshan, alchemy is not like this..."

Zhaoshan has everything, but here there is almost nothing.

Gan Zhiquan thought for a while, walked to an empty space, made a rectangular wooden table, summoned pens, paper and other items to spread on it, and then said to the seven Taoist priests: "Everyone, come here, let's make a plan first A detailed plan before starting to make alchemy.”

The Taoist priests came over hesitantly, but stopped at the same time after a few steps. Meng Xu plucked up the courage to ask, "Did you want to help yourself, or... did Mu Xingqiu ask you to come?"

Gan Zhiquan laughed, his smile seemed a little stiff. His soul had not yet fully adapted to his original body. He raised his hand and rubbed the muscles on his face, "Does my answer make sense?"

Indeed, any answer given by Gan Zhiquan would be regarded as Mu Xingqiu's intention to put it into his mind. The seven Taoist priests looked at each other, but still did not take a step closer.

"If you think it's useless to make detailed plans in advance, then ignore me. If you think it's still necessary, don't care who means it. Neither Mu Xingqiu nor I will harm you, let alone destroy the alchemy. You Don’t forget, Mu Xingqiu’s two best friends were also bewitched.”

Gan Zhiquan was speaking for Mu Xingqiu, which sounded more like he was being manipulated, but his words made sense. Meng Xu and others couldn't find any reason to object, so they all walked to the table and formed a circle.

"The first step of the plan is to calm down your thoughts first. Look at how you look now, how do you still look like a Taoist priest?" Gan Zhiquan's voice was a little harsh, but the seven alchemists felt that it was more like the one they knew before. A Hongshan Taoist priest.

"I don't know what's going on." Meng Xu sighed softly, "My Taoist heart seems to be getting more and more... I'm really worried that this is... this is..."

"This is a sign of being possessed by a devil." Gan Zhiquan finished speaking for her, placing his hands on the table and scanning the faces of the seven Taoist priests one by one, "I have been possessed by a devil, and I can tell you responsibly that a possessed person will never Flustered, they had doubts, but they were so convinced of their doubts that they didn’t hesitate at all.”

The seven Taoist priests finally breathed a sigh of relief, and one Taoist priest asked cautiously: "Are you not going to be possessed by the devil again?"

"Who knows, let's wait and see after the fifteen days are over."

"I heard that the method of re-annihilation will cause changes in the body. Where is your change...?"

Gan Zhiquan opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue. It looked normal. When the other Taoist priests were confused, his tongue suddenly turned around and grew to six or seven feet. It was covered with reverse scales, like a thorny whip.

The tongue flicked past, quickly returned to normal, and returned to Gan Zhiquan's mouth. However, the Taoist priests who were watching were all startled. They were speechless for a long time, and their expressions changed a little.

Gan Zhiquan said calmly, "The devil has destroyed everyone's Taoist heart, so your mood is not as peaceful as before, but this is not inevitable. My Taoist heart is not left at all, but I have not become a madman. In the past, we relied on Practice and use magic to stabilize your mind. Now you have to rely on your own will. Remember, dozens of Taoist priests are waiting for you to create the elixir. Since the most important materials are available, there is nothing to worry about. "

It took more than half an hour to formulate the plan, and the lack of materials could not be made out of nothing, but the seven people finally knew what they should do, and they would not be in a hurry when the matter came. After the plan became clear, they even felt that there was no magic bullet. It's so difficult to create, and all the worries I had before were because I thought too much.

"Let's get back to work." Meng Xu said happily. Although Taoist Yanyan shouldn't act moody, she still showed a happy smile.

Gan Zhiquan was a Taoist priest of the Five Elements. Apart from stabilizing morale and helping to formulate detailed plans, he could not provide any specific help with alchemy, so he did not stay long and walked out of the tent.

At the door, he met Mu Xingqiu who came in.

The seven alchemy Taoist priests once again stopped what they were doing and stared at the two Taoist priests, with a vague expectation that as soon as Mu Xingqiu raised his hand, Gan Zhiquan would obediently perform the specified actions.

But the performance of these two people really disappointed them. Mu Xingqiu and Gan Zhiquan gave each other standard Taoist courtesy, and went their separate ways without even saying a word.

"I need fellow Taoists from the ShenGong Department to do me a favor." Mu Xingqiu said, summoning a black-patterned straw hat with the Demon Lord's Zhengfa attached to it.

Everyone knew the power of this straw hat. The expressions of the seven alchemy priests changed again, especially the two Taoist priests of the divine engineering department. They were stunned on the spot holding the clay pots and bowls that had just been made but not yet fired. One of them said in a trembling voice. : "I, we haven't been possessed yet." He himself felt unconvincing, so he turned to Meng Xu and others, "You can prove it, right?"

The other five Taoist priests nodded hesitantly.

The wooden table conjured by Gan Zhiquan was still there. Mu Xingqiu walked over and put the straw hat on the table. "Don't get me wrong, I just want to add a mark on it."

The two Taoist priests of the Divine Engineering Department breathed a sigh of relief, put down the tools in their hands and walked over. The other Taoist priests also approached curiously, looking at the straw hat that could make people go from life to death and back to life again.

The Taoist priests from the Shengong Department each summoned the bronze seal and the bronze mirror, and used the two magical instruments to observe the straw hat.

The straw hat trembled slightly at first, and then slowly raised two magic words, floating three feet high in the air and slowly spinning.

A quarter of an hour later, the two Taoist priests put away their magic weapons, raised their hands to wipe the sweat from their foreheads, looked at each other, and shook their heads at the same time. One of them said: "The power of Demon Lord Zhengfa is too strong, but the straw hat is too fragile, we... …No ability to impose a mark.”

Another person said: "I really don't know what the people who blessed Demon Lord Zhengfa thought at the time, to attach such a powerful power to a mortal object. The straw hat will decompose on its own within six months at most."

"I blessed it. I kept it on the straw hat just because I was worried that the power of Demon Lord Zhengfa was too strong." Mu Xingqiu said.

The Taoist priest from the Shen Gong Department laughed twice awkwardly, "This is also a way. Part of the power of Demon Lord Zhengfa is used to maintain the integrity of the straw hat. It is indeed impossible to backfire on the owner. Sorry, we can't put a mark on it. The entire camp Probably only one person can do it.”

Mu Xingqiu had thought of this person for a long time, but as long as he had other options, he was unwilling to ask this person for help.

Yashan Taoist priest Zhou Qianhui is not only a Taoist priest in the divine engineering field, but also the first one. Slaying demons is not his specialty. To add a special mark to a magic weapon, there are few people in the entire Taoist tradition who can compare with him.

Mu Xingqiu said goodbye to the seven alchemy Taoist priests and had to go see Zhou Qianhui.

The straw hat became increasingly unstable. The Taoist priest from the Shen Gong Department judged that it could last up to six months, but Mu Xingqiu felt that it might decompose within a few days.

Zhou Qianhui had a rope tied around his body and multiple spells had been cast on the tent, so he knew nothing about what was happening in the camp. However, when he saw the black-striped straw hat, his face still showed a solemn look. Before Mu Xingqiu could speak, , he said: "If I read it correctly, there is demonic magic on it."

"That's right." Mu Xingqiu didn't show off his straw hat when they last met. Now he placed it in front of Zhou Qianhui and sat across from him.

Zhou Qianhui couldn't cast spells and could only observe the straw hat with his naked eyes. After a long time, he asked: "Have you ever cast the spells here?"

"Yeah, twice."

"Is it to kill people or to save people?"

"I feel like I'm saving people."

"Very good." Zhou Qianhui looked up at Mu Xingqiu with a sarcastic smile on his face, "You can prepare the funeral arrangements for these two people."
