Celestial being

After Yuan Ming escaped, he didn't hesitate at all. With a wave of his hand, half of the soul crows spread their wings and swooped down, launching a soul collision against the red gold fire dragon.

The first black crow swooped towards the red gold fire dragon, and while it was still frightened by the crow's cries, it hit the dragon head-on between its eyebrows, and penetrated with a "pop" sound.

The body of the red gold fire dragon trembled violently, as if it was trying to struggle desperately to resist, but Yuan Ming naturally would not give it a chance. The two soul crows behind it slammed into the head of the fire dragon again with lightning speed, followed closely by three more... …

After a full six impacts, the red gold fire dragon's eyes were filled with chaos, no longer as agile as before.

While performing Soul Collision, Yuan Ming also took the opportunity to inject part of Soul Crow's soul power into the red gold fire dragon's body again. The flames in the red gold fire dragon's body were once again uncontrollable and wrapped around his body, restricting its movement.

Yuan Ming immediately seized the opportunity and activated the Zhurong Heart Technique with all his strength. Two thick red lights were injected into the fire dragon's body, refining the red gold fire dragon again.

Although the red gold fire dragon was severely injured by the soul collision, it did not completely lose its resistance. The dragon claws of its body subconsciously resisted, but Yuan Ming had already taken the lead and did not give it any chance to breathe.

About a quarter of an hour later, the red gold fire dragon was controlled again, its flames restrained, and it crawled in front of Yuan Ming, without any resistance at all.

However, Yuan Ming still did not dare to relax and kept his eyes fixed on the Zhoutian Exquisite Cauldron, for fear that another fire python would fly out of it.

Fortunately, there was no reaction from Zhou Tian's exquisite cauldron, but the red gold fire dragon on the ground seemed to have consumed too much power and turned into nine fire pythons of different colors and flew back.

As the fire pythons sank into Zhou Tian's exquisite cauldron, the body of the cauldron continued to light up, and after a while, it returned to normal.

"Senior, this junior has passed the test, right?" Yuan Ming looked at the old man Yanhuang and asked.

The old man Yanhuang was also sizing him up, and nodded slightly: "Although it all depends on trickery, I can subdue the Nine Fire True Dragon, and I can barely pass the test. This Zhoutian Exquisite Cauldron belongs to you."

After saying that, the old man Yanhuang raised his hand and waved, and the three-legged round tripod on the table immediately spun up and flew straight towards Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming was overjoyed, but he did not dare to let Zhou Tian's exquisite cauldron get close to his body, and hurriedly sent out two streams of magic power to catch the cauldron.

An incomparably heavy force came. Zhou Tian's exquisite cauldron, which was only as tall as a person, was actually very heavy. He seemed to be holding a mountain peak, and he hurriedly mobilized his magic power to the extreme, so that Zhou Tian's exquisite cauldron could not fall on it. on the ground.

"The Zhoutian Exquisite Cauldron is the result of generations of savings from our Danwang Pavilion. It is made from top spiritual materials such as Zhiyang Fire Jade, Five Color Stones, and Earth Core Black Copper. In particular, the body of the tripod is made of Earth Core Black Copper. It is heavy. It is naturally comparable to mountains and extremely strong, otherwise it would not be able to withstand the twelve kinds of earth fire." Old Man Yanhuang said slowly.

Yuan Ming has seen records of earth core black copper in the classics. This material is said to come from the depths of underground lava. It is refined from black copper. It is extremely heavy in texture, but it is also the most resistant spiritual material to the flames. .

The Earth Core Black Copper that is occasionally discovered is ground into copper powder and painted on the inside and outside of the alchemy furnace or the weapon refining furnace. This can greatly improve the heat resistance of the cauldron. The entire Zhoutian Exquisite Cauldron is actually made of Earth Core Black Copper. made.

As for Zhiyang Fire Jade and Five Color Stones, although he had never heard of them, he thought they were extremely precious spiritual materials.

Yuan Ming's eyes looking at Zhou Tian's exquisite cauldron became even more fiery. He had previously valued the twelve kinds of earth fires in the furnace, but he didn't expect that the furnace body was also so particular.

"Senior just said that this furnace contains twelve kinds of earth fire? Shouldn't it be real fire?" He suddenly thought of a question.

"The so-called earth fire is not an underground flame, but a grade name for true fire. True fire in the world of immortality is divided into three levels: heaven, earth, and human. Ordinary true fires are all human-level. Although they are precious, they are not available in quantity. There are few, while earth fire is much rarer and more powerful than human fire. The twelve kinds of earth fire in Zhoutian Linglong Cauldron are all top earth fires. Our Danwang Pavilion can create a great reputation in Zhongzhou Continent. These ten The two kinds of earth fire have played a great role, you must make good use of them in the future." Old Man Yanhuang talked eloquently.

Yuan Ming listened with interest and hurriedly agreed.

According to what the old man Yanhuang said, Yan Sijing's apricot green fire and ice core yin fire should both be human fires. The power of pure Yang Yan is far greater than the apricot green fire and ice core yin fire, so it should belong to earth fire.

"Where is the fire that day?" Yuan Ming asked curiously.

"The number of heavenly fires is even rarer. From ancient times to the present, only nine kinds of true fires have been given the honorific title of heavenly fires. Each kind of heavenly fire has incredible magical powers and its value is immeasurable. We, the Danwang Pavilion, have inherited it for dozens of generations and have been looking for the heavenly fires. , It's a pity that I couldn't do it. If there was a kind of heavenly fire, our sect would not be destroyed by the hands of the Three Realms Sect." The tone of the old man Yanhuang was full of regret.

"Skyfire is so precious!" Yuan Ming was shocked.

He then remembered something and his pupils suddenly shrank.

Xia Jie once called the bright soul fire in the Tiantian Cauldron the bright soul sky fire. Could it be that the bright soul fire is actually a kind of sky fire?

"Senior Yanhuang, what are the names of the nine kinds of heavenly fires?" Yuan Ming asked pretending to be curious.

"The nine heavenly fires are mysterious and unpredictable. Few people know about them. Even ancient books rarely record them. My status in Danwang Pavilion was not too high back then. I only knew about four kinds, namely the Great Sun Glaze Flame, the Red Lotus Nether Fire, and the Ziwei Fire. Heart Flame, and Bright Soul Sky Fire." Old Yanhuang said knowingly.

Yuan Ming's face was calm, but his heart jumped suddenly. The Fire of Bright Soul was indeed one of the nine heavenly fires!

However, considering the incredible magical power of the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, it seems that there is nothing strange about having a kind of heavenly fire.

"Thank you, Senior Yanhuang, for informing me that I will use this Zhoutian Exquisite Cauldron properly... Hey, there seems to be something inside the cauldron?" Yuan Ming was about to put away the cauldron when he suddenly let out a light sigh.

He had smelled a strange fragrance coming from the cauldron before, and thought it was due to the fact that the cauldron had been used to refine elixirs for many years. Now that he had obtained the cauldron, he discovered that there was a ball of white light floating in the cauldron, which turned out to be a dragon's eye. Big and small elixirs.

"This is an ancient spiritual elixir, three flowers and five qi elixirs. It has not yet been refined. It needs to be preserved with the help of the hot environment in the Zhoutian Exquisite Cauldron. If you were unable to tame the fire dragon formed by the nine kinds of earth fire just now, I will take out this Find another place to store the elixir. Now it seems that you are quite useful. You should protect these three flowers and five qi elixirs." Old Yanhuang said again.

"Since even the seniors of Danwang Pavilion cannot refine this Three Flowers and Five Qi Dan, I am afraid that the juniors will not be able to complete it. I wonder what I should do with this thing?" Yuan Ming was slightly startled and then asked.

No wonder the fire control test just now was so difficult. It turned out that the old man Yanhuang still had this intention.

"It's not that I can't complete the Three Flowers and Five Qi Pills, but I don't have enough time. If you have the opportunity to go to Zhongzhou Continent in the future, you can go to a place called Flame Mountain and find a Fire Wing Taoist. He will help you complete it. The refining of this elixir is a great opportunity for you." Old Man Yanhuang said.

"Flaming Mountain, Taoist Fire Wings... I have remembered it." Yuan Ming remembered it and was about to ask about the efficacy and grade of the Three Flowers and Five Qi Pills.

"Okay, I've said a lot. Next is the second level, which tests your Alchemy talent." Old Man Yanhuang spoke again.

"Senior Yanhuang, this junior has already said that if you are not an alchemist, I am afraid it will be difficult to pass this level." Hearing this, Yuan Ming hurriedly put away the Zhoutian Exquisite Cauldron and said bluntly.

"I know, so the test is about Alchemy talent, not Alchemy level." Old Yan Huang said with a snort.

"I see, senior, please start." Yuan Ming scratched his head and said.

"What is alchemy?" asked the old man Yanhuang.

"The so-called alchemy can be divided into internal and external elixirs. External elixirs refer to all vegetation, medicines, stones and minerals that are refined into elixirs by fire to assist in cultivation; inner elixirs refer to the elixirs that are made by refining essence, energy, and spirit within the human body." Yuan Ming searched the intestines and scraped the belly. The cognition of the elixir, after thinking for a moment, he said.

"The inner elixir is also called the golden elixir. During the Nascent Soul stage, the elixir breaks into a baby. Is there any inner elixir that can be refined later?" Old Man Yanhuang continued to ask.

"Of course not." Yuan Ming shook his head and said.

"The essence, energy and spirit are combined to form the golden elixir, and the golden elixir turns into the Yuanying. Isn't the Yuanying the essence, energy and spirit that are condensed?" asked the old man Yanhuang.

Yuan Ming froze when he heard this, and said bravely: "Yes."

"If it is, then is there still inner elixir that can be refined?" Old Man Yanhuang continued to ask.

"Yes." Yuan Ming nodded.

"What are you practicing?" Old Man Yanhuang asked.

"Nascent Soul... no, it's Jing Qi Shen." Yuan Ming replied subconsciously, and then changed his words with a sudden inspiration.

"Is there any connection between the outer elixir and the inner elixir?" Old Yanhuang asked again.

"Naturally, the cultivation of inner elixir requires the assistance of outer elixir. The essence of outer elixir, plants, trees and minerals can enlighten the spirit of inner elixir." Yuan Ming said.

This is what was recorded in the alchemy books he had read.

However, Yuan Ming does not have a deep understanding of the art of alchemy, so it is not easy to answer these questions.

"Humph, is that all?" Old Yan Huang snorted coldly and asked.

"I'm sorry for my stupidity." Yuan Ming thought for a long time, but he had no better insights and looked ashamed.

"The inner elixir contains elixir fire. For alchemy monks, this fire is no different from the various external fires, but it is a very important fire. The achievement of an alchemy monk is largely related to the quality of his elixir fire... "Old Yanhuang, as if teaching, told Yuan Ming in detail about alchemy, knowledge he had never known before.

Afterwards, Old Man Yanhuang brought up all kinds of knowledge about alchemy. Yuan Ming didn't even listen to it, and he was quite embarrassed for a while.

However, after some exchanges, he gained a lot.

Even if he didn't understand the knowledge about alchemy, he kept it all in his mind and planned to sort it out later, which would help the Alchemy Pavilion preserve part of its inheritance.

He believed that the reason why Old Man Yanhuang talked to him so much was because he had this in mind.

"Senior, I wonder how this junior performed at this level?" Yuan Ming glanced at the Alchemy King's Secret Book on the table, feeling very uneasy.
