Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 1170 - 448: The First Alchemy Furnace (Part 2)
Now, when he went out to buy bricks and soil, only then did he release the energy, walking with a bounce in his step, like a child who got candy.
"That young Fuzi is really good," Sister Cui said to Zhou Xuan.
"Exactly, our family relies on Fuzi. Without him, we’d fall apart."
Zhou Xuan also said with a gentle smile.
...
Little Fuzi went three streets away to the Brick Factory, bought two cartloads of green bricks. The factory initially hesitated to sell such a small amount, but upon hearing it was for Zhou Xuan’s shop, they immediately agreed,
Not charging a single penny for the bricks, and they even helped Little Fuzi transport the sand and stone as laborers.
"This isn’t right, boss. Our young master said not to take advantage of others."
Little Fuzi mumbled.
The boss shook his head vigorously, saying, "Without Mister, I’d still be a refugee. It’s only due to his blessings that this Brick Factory was built."
The boss loaded the bricks and stones onto the cart, huffing and puffing to pull them over to the shop. After expressing immense gratitude to Zhou Xuan, he turned to leave without even accepting the tea offered by Zhou Xuan,
It was still Zhou Xuan who gave Little Fuzi a signal to forcibly tuck a piece of pig’s trotter onto the boss’s cart.
"This pig’s trotter..."
"Boss, you give me bricks and stones, I give you a pig’s trotter, seems fair."
Waving his hand, Zhou Xuan returned to the shop.
Now that the bricks and stones were ready, and the craftsman for the furnace was in place,
"Build the furnace."
Zhou Xuan said.
Sister Cui waved her hand at the scattered bricks and stones on the ground, and immediately around her, it felt like a furnace burning at a thousand degrees,
The bricks and stones melted like metal under the extreme heat of the furnace, changing into a new form.
New bricks continuously replenished, while others kept on melting,
With more and more materials added, a half-meter diameter elixir furnace, looking like a huge water jar, was fired up.
As the elixir furnace landed steadily, its exterior still bright red, just moving closer sent a wave of heat surging towards them.
"It needs to cool down."
Sister Cui blew a breath towards the large elixir furnace, the fragrant air sprayed onto the furnace body,
Everyone only heard a "sizzle," and the elixir furnace, astonishingly, cooled from red to its original brick green, while mist rose all around, blending into the atmosphere.
Alchemist Bai Lu checked the furnace again, affirming that internally there were no gaps, and all configurations were successfully made, then he spread his arms open,
"Raise the furnace!"
The large elixir furnace lifted up by itself, floating half a meter off the ground. He then shouted to Zhou Xuan, "Mister, your Starry Sky Scroll is the lid for this furnace, it requires your blood and energy to activate."
"Of course."
Zhou Xuan used Bone Teeth to cut open his palm, spilling blood towards the hovering Starry Sky Scroll, while his mind connected tightly with the scroll.
Once the Starry Sky Scroll sensed its master’s intention and tasted the blood, it floated hoveringly a foot above the furnace.
"Mister, feed the ingredients."
"Inject Human Desire Power into the furnace."
Zhou Xuan, following procedure, summoned the "Will Heavenly Book," pointing towards the furnace, and the modest amount of Human Desire Power stored within the book streamed into the furnace like a white mist.
"Mister, call down divine thunder," Alchemist Bai Lu shouted again.
Zhou Xuan looked towards King Xishan, "Lao Xi, it’s your turn to unleash the thunder."
King Xishan clasped his fists towards Zhou Xuan, and dressed in snow-like white, flew out of the Jingyi Shop, ascending several hundred meters into the sky, releasing the "Divine Power" within his God status.
Several clouds gathered, coalescing into a mass, hovering over East Market Street, and then, a bolt of lightning flashed.
"Boom!"
Lightning struck inside Zhou Xuan’s shop, forming a sphere of electricity, rolling several times before jumping into the elixir furnace.
Heavenly Fire entered the furnace.
As fire was just added to the furnace, the Green and Red Fish within Zhou Xuan’s Secret Realm sensed it, starting to grow restless,
"If you want out, just come out."
Zhou Xuan said.
Initially, Alchemist Bai Lu wanted to see the Green and Red Fish during alchemy; Zhou Xuan was somewhat reluctant, feeling it was similar to "watching animal performances."
But now,
He couldn’t restrain the two creatures insisting on performing.
With Zhou Xuan’s permission, the Green and Red Fish eagerly emerged from the Secret Realm, dashing into the large furnace, chasing the spherical lightning.
Two fish, one named "Cloud Rain," the other "Dragon Transformation"
Clouds scatter, rain ceases, the dragon follows the thunder,
Their obsession with heavenly thunder could be sensed from their names,
After several chases, the two fishes, as if nibbling at bait, devoured all the lightning,
Afterwards,
The two fishes, redder became redder, greener became greener, forming a "Tai Chi Diagram" within the furnace, slowly rotating like precious colorful gems.
Meanwhile, the increasingly intense heat soared quickly with the fishes’ rotation.
"The Green and Red Fire can refine the sun and moon, seal the furnace."
Alchemist Bai Lu shouted, and the Starry Sky Scroll believed the time was right, suddenly covering down.
With a loud rumble,
The furnace sealed itself completely, and from the starry eyes on the Starry Sky Scroll, half emitted green flames, the other half shone with red fire.
Inside the furnace, there were chaotic noises and various human cries, piercingly wretched.
"Why are there such cries of anguish?"
Zhou Xuan asked Alchemist Bai Lu.
Alchemist Bai Lu laughed and said, "Mister, this Human Desire Power, after condensing, can also produce souls. The temperature in this alchemy furnace is extraordinarily high, those souls can’t bear it, so naturally, they scream."
