Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Chapter 142 Stones that disappear when exposed to water

Immediately afterwards, he returned to the yard inside the red wall, found a puddle at random, and dipped his fingers in it.

Put it in your mouth and try it with your tongue.

The moment it entered his mouth, Luo Yan's brows raised slightly. A smell like rotten oranges came through, and it was also very pungent.

"Junior Brother Luo, you said you found the reason why the fire phosphate mineral disappeared?"

Li Siqi had been following Luo Yan, and when he saw him sniffing grass and tasting the water in the puddles on the ground, the suspicion in his eyes became more and more intense.

Isn’t this too dirty?

"Yes, Senior Brother Li, someone is trying to hide the truth from us!"

Luo Yan sighed softly, as if he wanted to spit out the smell, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Good guy, you can think of such a method, what a talent!

It would be a shame not to become a warlock in the mortal world.

This was what Luo Yan discovered when he was researching which material was better for making transparent hydroponic tanks.

There is a large amount of weapon-refining material that is not commonly used - kaolin gallstone.

This kind of ore is very strange and can withstand very high temperatures. It is often thrown into underground fires and used as stepping material.

A very strange thing about this thing is that it will melt and disappear when exposed to a large amount of water, and then bloom into white smoke.

Eventually, it left a water stain on the spot and slipped away.

And because it is located deep underground or for some other special reason, kaolin gallstone is highly acidic.

The water left in place after being neutralized by a large amount of water and evaporated will also become acidic.

However, pyrophosphate rock is alkaline.

So there are alkaline plants growing around the red wall, which is normal.

But the pile of green clovers that had just grown made Luo Yan suddenly suspicious.

There were originally so many fire phosphate rocks piled around here. It stands to reason that they were in such an extremely serious alkaline environment.

Except for those alkaline plants, it is generally impossible for other plants to survive in it.

But among such a group of alkaline plants, a bunch of clovers that can only grow in an acidic environment suddenly grew.

You must know that acidic environments and alkaline environments have different chemical properties, which lead to different effects on plant growth.

This is like soaking a cactus in the desert in water for a long time. Let alone growing, even survival is a problem.

It's the same thing.

Each plant has its own ecological environment to which it is adapted. It is not as simple as planting it in the soil and adding some water to survive.

Otherwise, there would not be a dedicated profession of spiritual planter in the world of cultivation.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for acidic plants to grow in a high-concentration alkaline environment.

It happened that the elm tree and the clover coexisted, which had to make Luo Yan hesitate.

Luo Yan deals with elixirs almost every day. The growth environment of various elixirs is naturally very clear, and he is most sensitive to this data.

After all, there are too many factors that need to be considered for things like hydroponic elixirs.

Light, aura concentration, trace elements in water, etc., all kinds of basic data on cultivation knowledge are at your fingertips.

Although elms and clovers are not spiritual plants, as a monk who can cultivate a large number of spiritual medicines by himself, it is convenient to record some insignificant data.

Combined with heavy rain, dense fog, and the fact that the surface water is not alkaline but acidic, the answer is ready to come out.

Someone deliberately emptied the fire phosphate rock in advance and then put the kaolin gallstones outside to fill the gap.

You don't need too much, just keep the fire phosphate rock on the side facing the door.

Use kaolin gallstone to make a hollow mold for the rest, and then a simple game is formed.

Finally, just wait for the arrival of heavy rain to complete the entire layout.

And it won't make any big noise at all, it will just continue to eat away step by step in the past.

"It seems that there is a lot of trouble between the two city lords." Luo Yan thought to himself.

To complete this time-consuming and laborious layout, you must have enough time and a large number of manpower. And it plays a certain role in the refining hall and the location where fire phosphate ore is stored.

If there is a problem in any part of this, the results may be full of variables.

However, he couldn't tell Li Siqi this discovery about his discovery.

It's just a guess after all.

So he changed to a more easy-to-understand method and demonstrated it live.

Luo Yan once again waved to the two disciples on duty at the door: "I'd like to ask you two, go to the underground furnace in the refining room and remove the bottom circle of stones and bring it to me."

"If you don't know which piece it is, you can just dismantle them all and bring them to me in a storage bag."

After saying that, Luo Yan threw a small storage bag to them.

The two ordinary disciples nodded, and after taking the storage bag, they immediately used their spiritual power on their feet and ran all the way towards the weapon refining room.

"Junior Brother Luo, what is this?" Li Siqi became even more confused.

But he wasn't stupid either. Luo Yan must have discovered something after his actions.

The look of surprise in his eyes grew stronger.

"Senior Brother Li, don't be anxious. Wait for them to come back first, and then I will demonstrate it to you, and you will understand."

Li Siqi's eyes flickered, and when he saw Junior Brother Luo's confident look, he immediately took out a jade communication talisman from his storage bag, moved his lips slightly, and then the light of the talisman broke through the air.

Seeing this, Luo Yan guessed his purpose and did not stop him.

In just a moment, before the two disciples on duty came back from fetching their things, several rays of light as fast as lightning hurried over.

"Master Jade Face, you said you know the truth about the disappearance of the fire phosphate mine?"

Three rays of escaping light, one in front and two in back, came in an instant.

The leader was a thin old man with white hair and white beard, and his figure was a bit stooped.

Wearing a worn auburn monk's robe, he has a high nose bridge, sunken eye sockets, and a long, thin face covered with wrinkles that looks very haggard.

There was an urgent and undisguised look of anxiety on his face.

Li Siqi shook his head and did not explain to them immediately, or he didn't know how to explain it.

"Don't worry, City Master Yu. This is my junior brother. He just came from the headquarters. He discovered the problem."

So the old man turned his urgent eyes to the crane-faced black-robed Taoist next to Li Siqi: "My lord, please tell me the truth about this matter!"

"After this storm is over, I will be grateful."

Hearing Li Siqi's comforting words, a trace of bitterness flashed across City Lord Yu's face. How could he not be anxious?

He had just taken over this city from the monk who had left his family, less than two months ago, and he had originally planned to retire here in the future.

Never thought of such a thing.

Over the past few days, the city has been sealed off, and everything on the mountain has been searched.

But there is no trace of that batch of fire phosphate ore.

If this continues, even if his life is completely over, with the wealth he has accumulated for most of his life, plus his two friends, he will still be far from able to make up the hundreds of thousands of contribution points.

The family members said they could support tens of thousands of contribution points, but it would only be a drop in the bucket.

So he didn't ask for it.

There are many places in the family that need to use spiritual stones, and he is prepared to contribute tens of thousands of points to himself for free. With this attitude, he is very satisfied.

There was no way he could close such a big hole by himself.

If you don't get it together, you will definitely be taken away by the people from the Law Enforcement Hall.

The sect may have spared his life, but his future fate can be imagined.
