Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 29 Alchemy
Realgar, cinnabar, orpiment, alum stone, Zengqing, and bronze tripods with a long history.

Cultivating immortals pays attention to "wealth couple law and land".With the help of Chichen Itza, these small parts were collected within half a day.The most difficult thing to collect is the osmanthus wood. Palka cut down a decorative osmanthus wood on the spot to make the fuel for alchemy.

Now everything is ready.Everything needed to refine the "Building Foundation Pill" is now placed on the balcony, just waiting for him to turn on the furnace.

The afternoon sun shines from overhead, which is the hottest time of the day.But the wind on the balcony on the roof is also very strong - the strong wind blows away the hot summer heat, and also brings the unique dry smell of the desert.

"Then let's begin."

Shang Luo took a deep breath, and first scanned everything around him with his spiritual thoughts.

On the empty balcony, he sat cross-legged on the futon in the middle.Realgar, cinnabar, orpiment, alum stone, and Zeng Qing are on the left, which have been crushed with a small steel mill.On the right side is osmanthus wood that has been cut into wooden strips, with a fresh woody fragrance, and a small bamboo knife.

The furnace is in front of him.It was the tripod that was given to Maya by the imperial court when the Maya city-state was conferred.The rank of Maya was princes, and seven tripods were conferred at that time, which was one of the seven tripods.

The tripod is 53.8 mm high, 27.2 mm deep, 47 mm in diameter, and weighs 34.700 kg—this is a replica of the unearthed cultural relic Mao Gong Ding, and there are also bronze inscriptions carved by famous masters in the tripod.This kind of tripod reflected the trend of epigraphy in the imperial court at that time, and it was popular to reproduce this kind of ancient tripod at that time.

Generally speaking, this tripod is about the size of a big black pot used in hotels.Just thicker and heavier.

Hundreds of years have passed since the imperial edict of that year.This kind of bronze tripod should have been shining golden, but this tripod has been rusted due to lack of maintenance, and a thick layer of copper rust has formed.

It stands to reason that this tripod was originally a cultural relic.Not only has cultural significance, but also political significance.It's okay to throw away the edict, after all, it's common to hand over the edict to other people to act as agents.But it would be a crime of disrespect to lose the great cauldron that symbolized the mandate of heaven.

But for Shangluo, this kind of heavy weapon can only be burned on a pile of firewood, no different from an ordinary black pot.

Now it's just a fire.

Taking out the windproof lighter, Shang Luo ignited the kindling under the stove.The fire was lit, and the undried osmanthus also burned black smoke.Where the flames burned upwards, the hundreds of years of copper rust was burned into charred black, and then peeled off.The shiny copper tire beneath the patina was exposed.

Before he eats the Jidan and restores it to the "innate" state, Shang Luo intends to restore this tripod to the "innate" state first.

"Okay, it's almost done." Shangluo began to add the first and most important medicine: Huachi.

According to previous predictions, he needs to inject his blood containing aura into the furnace cauldron to act as a "Hua Chi" to accommodate the medicinal properties of the elixir.

But Shang Luo didn't intend to open a hole for himself directly.The blood used as a solvent is not a drop or two, at least several hundred milliliters or more.Alchemy pays attention to heat, and there is no way to let him add blood drop by drop like filter coffee.

So after breakfast, he asked the doctor to draw his blood and inject it into the blood bag.The blood has been kept fresh in the refrigerator until just now, and it is still frozen.

Using scissors to unpack the blood bag, he injected a whole bag of 400ml of blood into the cauldron.

What the tripod is burning now is only a slow fire.The blood that had just touched the cauldron wall did not boil, but the strong rust smell had already evaporated, and even faint red steam could be seen coming out one by one.

Shangluo didn't stop, but added realgar, cinnabar, orpiment, alum stone, Zengqing, yellow, red and blue powders into the blood, and then used a bamboo knife to stir the mixture in the tripod.

The ore was mixed with blood, and soon turned into a deep red mineral slime.The pot suddenly boiled, and the burnt smell mixed with the rust smell came out, and the pungent smell of burning osmanthus rushed straight into the nostrils.

"Cough, cough, cough!" came the coughing sound.

"Huh?" Shang Luo froze for a moment, it wasn't him coughing.Before alchemy, he knew that there would be this smell, and he had already put on a gas mask for himself, "Is that you?"

【Do I have a nose? 】

"Who's that? Wait. Who's over there!"

There was no one else on the empty balcony.But the cough was obviously coming from the front.

"It's me." On the wall in front of the balcony, a black hand suddenly appeared.Immediately afterwards, a head wearing a helmet appeared outside the balcony.

"Wen Baihu? Why are you here?" Shang Luo recognized him at a glance.This is Wen Yuan who drove him back that day, he is Lu Huaiyang's apprentice.

"Cough hello." Seemingly a little embarrassed, Wen Yuan waved to him.

【It's him! 】Apolonia became alert, 【He also has the aura of magic!But he is not the master of the breath, this breath is borrowed from him!He is that Lu Huaiyang's apprentice! 】

Apollonia's alertness was extraordinary.Because Lu Huaiyang is the most terrifying opponent she has ever met so far.Everything related to Lu Huaiyang will put her on the highest alert.

[I want to shut up for a while, I'm afraid he will detect it.You deal with him yourself, I watch. 】

"Did you come to see me for something?" Shang Luo looked at the person who came—there was more than 100 meters in the air outside the balcony.Such a big living person climbed up from the balcony, it couldn't be just to see the scenery.

"Can I come up and talk first?" He asked Shangluo before entering Shangluo's private space.

With Shangluo's permission, he jumped over the parapet and landed firmly on the ground.

"Huh, I'm actually a little afraid of heights. It's scary to be so high outside."

"I think you are more scary! How did you get up? Can't you take the stairs to find me?"

"Those Mayans watched me in the room, and they followed me wherever I went. When I wanted to come to your floor, they said that I couldn't come to this floor without a room card. So I had to make a bad move and leave the building Climb up the outer wall. Listen, Shang Luo, I have something important to tell you, you can’t practice this pill anymore.”

"Wait, you know I'm doing alchemy?" Shang Luo finally confirmed that these Jin Yiwei were indeed monks, and definitely not ordinary monks.

Finally found a knowledgeable one, he hurriedly asked Wen Yuan: "Is there something wrong with my formula?"

"Conversely—your formula is right! It is because the formula is correct that I must come up to stop you. Shang Luo, you are too anxious. Alchemy is not done like this, and this is not the mentality that one should have. You need to learn first. Heart method and internal strength, stabilize one's Dao foundation and Dao heart step by step. When the heaven and man are united and capture that ray of good fortune, then come to calcine the foundation building pill."
