The next time will be really difficult.
According to He Rouyu, practitioners do not eat after noon, at least on the top of this mountain, so Lu Ran was still hungry until the evening.
Fortunately, Ke Zhizi was gentle and considerate, and found a few fairy carrots from the fairy garden to give Lu Ran some comfort.
As soon as it got dark, the old Taoist priest who looked very unlucky appeared quietly. Like the head of any family, he asked around. The first thing he asked was, have you eaten?
Remember to do that every day.
Then he started watching the wind.
Hui Huan's half-baked explanation is that wind determines fire, and fire determines elixir.
Whether the elixir succeeds or not depends entirely on the wind.
On the top of the red pagoda, an eight-sided fairy platform was visible to the naked eye. The old Taoist priest hung on it and meditated for a full hour, motionless.
Finally, we finally saw the timing, and the next day's twilight hour coincided with "dragons traveling in the rain".
Alchemy is not only such a technical activity, but also a metaphysics within metaphysics.
Therefore, there is a special team of "alchemists" in the practice, who spend their whole life trying to refine "a grain of true gold that ascends", "is created by nature" and "transcends to the saint".
But Qingwu also said that relying on pills to practice cultivation is just an ideal.
But three thousand years have passed, and the speed of human progress is beyond her imagination.
After all, Lu Ran had taken a blue pill that could temporarily gain the power of "Red Immortal", but that pill came from the sect where Li Qi and the others were.
In 3022, he also briefly learned through some media that there was a drug called "Butian Vaccine" in that world, which was used to strengthen young people with immortal powers like Hui Huan.
Therefore, Lu Ran was very interested in the elixir refined by the old Taoist priest of the Huan Sect. If he really refined a pill of magic medicine for cultivating immortals, then Lu Ran would ask for one and instantly improve his cultivation level. Not only could he return to the world, but also With Zhizi fighting side by side, it is not impossible to go to Xia and kill everyone.
Hum, kill the four evils of the Li family, oh, no, now it’s the three evils...
"Hey, wake up, Brother Ran, you're drooling all over my clothes!" Hui Huan pushed Lu Ran, who was sleeping against him, and then removed his half-carrot and kept inserting it into himself. Hands poking back and forth.
"Let's go, Master, let us all enter the alchemy room."
"Let's go and make alchemy!"
Lu Ran rubbed his eyes, wiped his saliva, and followed happily.
…
Looking down at the open space of Pingtou Peak, the entire plane is in the shape of a "you", and the small red pagoda is at the point that protrudes from the word "you".
A section of cliff like a knife edge, walking over it in the dark mountain night, as if there is no road under your feet, is extremely thrilling.
Fortunately, Lu Ran had long been accustomed to moving in the dark, so he steadily followed the people in front of him and reached the bottom of the small tower.
The small red tower has a very random shape, much like the carrot that Ke Zhizi stuffed Lu Ran just now. It has a sendai at the top and a small door at the bottom. There are many holes like windows randomly opened on it, all for smoke exhaust.
The shocking and unforgettable red color is its most attractive feature.
When Lu Ran really got closer, he realized that the red tower body was neither mud nor brick nor stone, but made of sheets of red talisman paper. That's why the surface was so uneven and the shape was so irregular.
This is a paper tower dozens of feet high.
Using fire to make elixirs in a paper tower is even more interesting.
Lu Ran became even more interested, looking left and touching, and kept asking questions.
Hui Huan, with Ke Zhizi in front, successfully passed through the small red wooden door that only allowed one person to enter or exit.
When it was Lu Ran's turn, Bai Yunpiao, who had been waiting there for a long time, stopped him with his big hand and said three words coldly: "You can't do it."
"What's wrong?" Lu Ran didn't care. He was in a good mood and could bear it, so he shouted and rushed in.
Bai Yunpiao's tone remained calm: "You didn't eat meat."
"Eating meat? You call that meat?" Hui Huan didn't care and forced his way in.
It turned out that Bai Yunpiao really wanted to give Lu Ran the meat of the meat man, but Lu Ran didn't eat it and he got angry.
But it was obvious that neither his good intentions nor his displeasure could be expressed well.
After all, it wasn't the first day Lu Ran met him, but when he was the second shopkeeper at the Shanxia Inn, he didn't think this person was so serious.
Also, at that time he was a human, and at this time, he is a birdman.
If he hadn't been unable to defeat him, Lu Ran would have gone up and broken off his red tassel, which made him angry just by looking at him.
Finally, the old Taoist priest said in the pagoda, "Since we have already gone up the mountain, it's okay for those who are destined to come in." Bai Yunpiao then made way for him, but his face remained expressionless.
It's just that his eyes seemed to be rolled up.
Inside the red pagoda, there is a special cave.
The most eye-catching thing is a huge red alchemy furnace, but unlike what he imagined, this alchemy furnace has no cover, no cabin, and no holes. It is more like an oversized bowl with a smaller bowl inside.
"Where to put the elixir fire?" Lu Ran searched around but couldn't find a place to set the fire. A general stove should have an isolation cabin, a fire cabin, and some openings for smoke, slag, etc.
Ke Zhizi tugged at the corner of Lu Ran's clothes and motioned for him to look up.
Under the hollow top of the tower, countless long red swords hang down. A giant object is hung upside down in the red sword. It looks like a horse but not a horse. Its whole body is covered with scales that look like burning red coals. It is constantly emitting fire and bursting out. Mars, so there is no need to light up the lights in this tower.
But the strange thing is that this giant beast has no eyes. Where there should have been eyes, there are only two ugly scars, which must have been dug out by someone.
This beast is already dying.
It should be extremely powerful, even the saliva flowing from the corner of the mouth at this time, with sparks, dripped into the alchemy furnace, making a loud squeaking sound.
He Rouyu introduced calmly: "Danhuo, also known as Danhuo, is a fire-eating demon."
Lu Ran glanced at it and couldn't bear to look any more. He just listened to the old Taoist priest's instructions at this time. The four of you each stay on one side and don't move tonight. Do you understand?
These four people refer to Hui Huan, Ke Zhizi, He Rouyu, and Lu Ran.
Lu Ran raised his hand, can I go first for convenience?
The old Taoist priest looked even more unlucky, but he actually smiled and let Lu Ran go without saying anything.
When Lu Ran came back, he found that something had changed again in the alchemy room.
One after another, the cold and powerful Bai Yunpiao brought in many strange objects from outside the tower.
There is an extremely smooth and beautiful white tiger skin.
There are five mother-and-son swords of different lengths, but it can be seen at a glance that they are made by the same swordsmith.
There is a bowl of silver water.
A handful of black gold sand.
Two horns from an unknown beast.
The nine soul pots looked exactly the same as the ones Lu Ran saw when he returned to the world.
…
Lu Ran's eyes stopped on the last two items.
The first thing he recognized was a meat man, also known as "Meat Tai Sui".
The second thing was blood red all over, and looked like a skeleton with an elongated frame, but it was a little different.
If you look closely, you will see that this skull has double horns, and in addition to its eyes, there is also a hole in its forehead.
Three eyes?
"What's this?"
Lu Ran pointed at the red skull and asked.
