Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

Chapter 40 A furnace of water and fire alchemy elixir
  "It's it!"

Feel the ethereal aura surrounding the tripod.

Chen Yulou finally couldn't restrain his inner excitement.

Whispered.

It was as if a pair of invisible hands had taken a handful from the long river of time.

The dusty history has also turned into a picture, flowing through the depths of my mind.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Hentian clan of the Guixu Kingdom in the South China Sea used the Yinxu Dragon Fire to smelt copper. The bronze objects they cast were contaminated with sea air, so they could deduce the images of mountains, rivers, and lakes.

but.

Because the country is weak.

He had no choice but to surrender to the Western Zhou Dynasty.

That year, the Hentian clan paid tribute to King Zhou Mu with a bronze tripod tempered by dragon fire.

There are hexagram mirrors and four talismans of humans, ghosts, dragons and fish embedded around it.

It is said that this tripod has the power to understand the heaven and the earth and predict the future.

He was regarded as a treasure by King Mu of Zhou Dynasty.

After death, they were buried in tombs.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the tomb of King Zhou Mu was stolen. The whereabouts of the hexagram mirror and the four talismans of human, ghost, dragon and fish were unknown. Only the bronze tripod was too heavy and was left alone in the tomb.

Afterwards, thunder fell from the sky and split the ancient tripod into pieces.

The copper block was taken away.

Smelt it again to make a pill furnace.

Send it to Pingshan to refine the elixir of immortality.

Chen Yulou's eyes flickered, and the picture in his mind gradually became fixed, overlapping with the copper furnace in the coffin mountain, and finally merged into one.

Even after all these years.

So many things happened during this period.

The sea air in the bronze cauldron can still condense and not disperse.

Not surprisingly.

And the reason why he targeted it was not just the alchemy furnace, but the more important reason was that two great treasures were involved in the Guixu Trigram Cauldron.

Nanhai Guixu and Dixian Village.

"Brother Chen?"

Partridge Whistle finally came to his senses from the mountains of coffins and bones.

Seeing him standing on the coffin mountain, his eyes flashed.

He suddenly thought of something.

There was a hint of excitement in his expression.

"Brother Taoist, come and see!"

Chen Yulou didn't hide it either.

He greeted him.

Seeing this, Partridge Whistle was already 70% sure. He raised his breath, jumped up, stepped on the coffin, and landed next to him in a few steps.

Look in the direction of his finger.

I saw the bronze alchemy furnace at a glance.

"咚咚-"

Partridge Whistle's heart skipped a beat.

Pill furnace.

It is indeed an alchemy furnace!
  I have been searching for Danzhu for many years.

How could he not recognize that the rusty furnace was clearly the purest Taoist alchemy furnace?

"Can't be wrong."

"Brother Chen..."

Partridge Whistle's mood fluctuated like a great tide.

But when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.

He pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Under the bright lights, there was only a complicated face and a pair of red eyes.

"Brother Dao, what are you waiting for?"

Chen Yulou patted his shoulder and smiled warmly.

"This……"

Partridge whistled and understood.

But it's still a bit unbelievable.

He had always dismissed the idea of ​​praying for immortality in the tomb of the dead.

But Pingshan is the place where Taoists of all ages made alchemy.

If there is still some great medicine left.

Wouldn't it be possible for a carp to leap over the dragon's gate if swallowed?

With Chen Yulou's knowledge and realm, he shouldn't have thought of this.

But he gave it to himself without hesitation.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?

For a moment, Partridge Whistle felt an indescribable touch and sadness rising in his heart.

"When we killed the chicken to sacrifice to heaven, we had already agreed. Now, why is Brother Tao still hesitant?"

Chen Yulou shook his head and smiled.

Taoist golden elixirs are indeed valuable but not marketable.

To him, it was superfluous.

There are immortal techniques such as Aoki Gong that can directly reach the road to immortality.

His brain was soaked in water before he took pills smelted from lead and mercury medicine stones.

However, Partridge Whistle is different. He is now nearly thirty years old, and he is considered young and strong in this world.

But the Zagrama clan is cursed by a curse. Once they turn forty, their blood turns golden, and they can only die miserably.

Plus.

For so many years, he lived in the open air, had a busy life, and endured unimaginable pressure.

The mind is haggard.     His whole body was injured secretly.

The body bones are like an old house.

It looks like everything is in order, but in fact there is leakage everywhere.

To put it bluntly, the time left for him is actually running out.

If one can practice Pingshan's breathing method and take pills, he may be able to cross the dragon gate and touch the Qi Refining Pass in the shortest possible time.

Once entered.

Take some time to recuperate.

It shouldn't be a problem until they go to Zhelong Mountain to find King Xian's Tomb and take out the Muchen Bead.

"Thank you, Brother Chen!"

"Yang really...has nothing to repay for such a great kindness."

Why didn't Partridge Whistle know?

He knows his physical condition better than anyone else.

In the past few years, I could barely support it.

But in the past year, he has developed symptoms of vomiting blood. What worried him most was that his blood was filled with gold.

What a sign this is.

He is very clear.

This is why for more than a year, he worked hard to visit graves everywhere.

I am just worried that one day I will really fall.

Hua Ling and the old foreigner no longer have anything to rely on.

now……

The Taoist alchemy furnace is close at hand.

It was like a light suddenly appeared in the vast night.

Even though he knew that lead and mercury medicine stones were poisonous, he was still willing to fly into flames.

At least temporarily stabilize the momentum of the ghost curse outbreak.

Only then did he have a chance to look for the Muchen Bead in the next tomb.

Holding his fists in both hands, Partridge Whistle had tears in his eyes, but before he could bow down, Chen Yulou held his wrists.

"Brother Dao, why do you and I need to say thank you?"

Look at the gray on his temples and the unconcealed vicissitudes of life in his expression.

Chen Yulou sighed secretly in his heart and waved his hands.

"it is good!"

See how sincere he is.

The partridge whistle no longer acts like a daughter.

Turn around and go straight to the alchemy furnace.

Chen Yulou quickly followed and protected him.

He didn't know whether there was any golden elixir in the elixir furnace, but in case of poison or miasma, he could take action immediately.

Quickly walked outside the alchemy furnace.

Partridge Whistle took a deep breath, then reached out to hug the stove cover and lifted it with force.

Fortunately.

After the furnace cover is removed.

There was no expected deadly aura.

Instead, a faint medicinal fragrance filled the air.

"This, this is..."

Partridge Whistle was still holding the stove lid in his hand. When he noticed the smell, his expression suddenly changed.

In the originally dark eyes.

It even erupted with a ray of light that was difficult to conceal.

Put down the stove lid.

Because he was too excited, his steps staggered a bit, but Chen Yulou had quick eyes and quick hands to hold him up.

Partridge whistled and smiled bitterly.

But he didn't dare to delay. The tall figure approached the alchemy furnace and looked inside.

The deepest part of the furnace.

There were clearly several longan-sized pills lying quietly.

Unfortunately.

Most of them are dark and dull, with an indescribable strange smell.

There is only one, clear and transparent, like a jade bead. Under the swaying firelight around it, it reflects a touch of intoxicating jade.

The medicinal fragrance that I smelled before suddenly overflowed from it.

"Danzhu..."

The moment I saw it.

Partridge Whistle's tense emotions could no longer be suppressed and exploded.

His whole body was shaking.

Big drops of water rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

"Congratulations, brother Dao, for getting what you wanted."

Chen Yulou also saw the elixir and couldn't help but patted his shoulder and congratulated him.

To be honest, before starting the furnace, he was worried that after thousands of years, the furnace walls were already rusty, and even if there were pills in them, they would have been damaged long ago.

But now it seems.

The condensed sea air in it has become the thing that best preserves the medicinal properties.

The only pity is.

In the end, only one pill was produced in this furnace.

The rest are all useless elixirs.

However, it is enough for a partridge whistle.

"Brother Dao, we can't delay any longer. As time goes by, the medicinal properties will wear off, and good things will turn into bad things."
