Chapter 161: Alchemy Furnace Refining the Netherworld
After listening to what the old man said, Xu Youming realized how much he had wasted.
"If you eat lotus seeds directly, you will not only absorb the spiritual energy of the lotus seeds, but also the toxins in them. All things are mutually reinforcing and mutually exclusive. What may seem like a treasure of heaven and earth may also be a deadly poison."
Xu Youming looked at the old man in front of him. Why did he feel like he was fooling him?
After using these lotus seeds, I didn't feel anything wrong.
As if he saw Xu Youming's confusion, the old man continued to explain.
"You are still weak now, and you cannot feel the poison of the Azure Lotus. When you become stronger in the future, these toxins will become shackles that you cannot break through."
The more the old man spoke, the more mysterious it became, and the more confused Xu Youming's eyes became.
"Grandpa, he won't die."
The little girl also started to exaggerate in front of Xu Youming.
Immediately, Xu Youming collected the lotus seeds and turned to leave.
Although I don't know what these two people are trying to do, I have a feeling that it is not a good thing. I wonder if they are planning to take my lotus seeds.
"etc!"
The old man called out to Xu Youming.
"I can help you refine the lotus seeds into elixirs, and the effect will be guaranteed to be increased by 3 times!"
Faced with the huge temptation, Xu Youming finally stopped.
"What do you want in return?"
He had no relationship with the old man, so there was no reason for the other party to help him for free.
"I want a lotus seed."
As expected, all the preparations made by the old man were for a Nine-Turn Green Lotus.
Seeing the old man's huge mouth, Xu Youming wanted to leave immediately.
Although the old man could help him improve the effect of lotus seeds, the reward was too high.
Besides, now that I have the lotus seeds in my hand, would I still be afraid of not being able to find another pharmacist who can refine pills in the future?
"I can also help you get rid of the Qinglian ."
These did not constitute any conditions for Xu Youming, so he just walked out the door.
"I can assure you that no one within a hundred miles can refine the Nine-Transformation Azure Lotus. You will regret it if you lose this opportunity."
Xu Youming smiled, but still had no intention of stopping.
Perhaps before this, this old man was the only one who could refine the Nine-Transformation Green Lotus, but now the player has come to this world.
With the participation of players, nothing is impossible. Anyway, I don’t plan to use lotus seeds in a short time, so I will wait until someone can refine the Nine-Transformation Green Lotus.
Seeing that Xu Youming was still unwilling, the old man finally became a little anxious.
"Okay, you win. In addition to helping you refine the Nine-Transformation Azure Lotus, I'll give you this in exchange."
An exquisite pendant appeared in the old man's hand. It was very simple in shape, with a green gem embellished on the dark gold chain.
Xu Youming walked forward and checked the properties of the equipment in confusion, to see what kind of equipment it was that could make the old man so painful.
Hanging Dream Pendant Gold
Level requirement: 25
HP+1000
Mana +1000
Spirit +22
Constitution +12
Additional Skills
Energy storage: can absorb a large amount of mana, and will prioritize consuming the mana in the energy storage when casting skills.
0/10000
The attributes of this equipment can be said to be average, even not as good as the jade pendant that Xu Youming sold, but the accompanying skills made Xu Youming's eyes light up.
This is equivalent to directly increasing the mana reserve by 10,000 points, so you no longer have to worry about running out of mana during battle.
After all, as the skills improve, the mana consumption becomes greater and greater. After a round of Xu Youming's skills, the consumption has exceeded the supply.
"Okay, deal!"
Xu Youming took the equipment and handed over two lotus seeds.
"Come with me."
After taking the lotus seeds, the old man looked slightly excited, and then motioned Xu Youming to follow him in.
After Xu Youming put on the Hanging Dream Pendant, he followed the old man in curiously.
“Go up!”
The old man opened the water tank-like alchemy furnace and motioned Xu Youming to jump in.
"What! Old man, you must be mistaken. I am here to refine lotus seeds, not to refine myself."
Xu Youming was shocked. He was not the Monkey King and could not withstand the Eight Trigrams Furnace of Laozi.
"Don't worry, it won't hurt. Don't you want to remove the Qinglian poison from your body? This is a necessary step."
The old man looked like he was in love with her, which made Xu Youming feel that he was taking revenge on him.
But after all, this is a right I have earned. If I don’t use it, I will always feel like I am losing out.
Forget it, just go for it. This is a game anyway, so it won’t hurt too much.
Then Xu Youming bravely stepped into the alchemy furnace.
This alchemy furnace was a little different from what Xu Youming had imagined. The inside was not flat like a water tank, but was engraved with deep lines.
These lines are like a mysterious symbol, covering the entire inner wall of the furnace.
Xu Youming stood on it with half of his body exposed, which made him feel more at ease. If an accident really happened, he could just jump out.
"Yaoyao, fan the fire."
The old man did not cover the stove roof, but asked the little girl behind him to fan the fire.
"Okay, Grandpa."
The little girl was obedient. She came directly to the furnace and started fanning the fire below.
Xu Youming felt the temperature under his feet slowly rising , and a burning energy slowly crawled along his legs directly to his upper body.
At the same time, a sticky feeling appeared in the originally empty alchemy furnace. Xu Youming found that he was firmly fixed by this sticky feeling and could not move at all.
Suddenly, he felt that he had been cheated.
The temperature under my feet was getting higher and higher, and I was surrounded by a kind of smoke, and everything outside became blurry.
Gradually, Xu Youming felt a tingling sensation all over his body. He wanted to stop the old man, but he couldn't make any sound.
I can only watch the smoke slowly engulf me.
The pain became more and more severe, almost reaching the limit that Xu Youming could bear.
Just when he was about to force himself to log off the line to offset the pain, his feet suddenly became light.
With a leap, Xu Youming jumped out of the alchemy furnace.
"Old man, do you really want to turn me into a pill?"
Xu Youming looked at the grandfather and grandson viciously and really regretted making a deal with them.
"Haha, this little bit of pain is nothing. Let's take a look at your changes first."
The old man had a nonchalant expression on his face, fiddling with something next to the medicine cabinet.
Hearing this, Xu Youming opened his attribute panel.
Basic skills: Intermediate 16%
After this refining, the progress of his martial arts skills increased by 15%, and his body was filled with a feeling of lightness.
Could it be true, as the old man said, that the Green Lotus Poison had been injected into his body?
Seeing the real improvement, Xu Youming calmed down and stopped arguing with the old man.
Now it depends on how he can help me refine the Nine-Transformation Green Lotus.
