Chapter 524: Alchemy

(Thanks to the red reward of "Sea Blue Beads", and thanks to the readers of the Post Bar.)

A tall and spacious tent was built on the edge of the camp. Three Taoist priests of the alchemy, two Taoist priests of the Hongluo and two Taoist priests of the divine engineering were busy preparing to refine elixirs. It was not easy to do such a thing in the remote snow-capped mountains where birds and beasts were extinct.

First of all, the Taoist priests of the Divine Engineering Department not only had to build elixir houses, but also made a series of items such as mortars, pestles, bottles, bowls, pots. In order to prevent the penetration of medicinal properties, most of these things can only be used once. Each Taoist priest has a large amount of inventory, but they can only be used on the spot here.

The Taoist priest of Hongluke set up a very small furnace without the Taiyin fire of Wandi Mountain. The two of them had to take turns to maintain the flames with their own magic power, constantly melting golden souls, silver souls, various steel and demon pills, and some were supplied to the Taoist priests of the Divine Engineering, and some were left for formal alchemy before use.

At the same time, Taoist priests in the alchemy department were busy checking dozens of medicinal materials, sorting them out, and calculating the dosage. Xinghua Feiying and the dead magic seed are the main ingredients, and other auxiliary ingredients are also very important. They can make the antidote more relaxed and adapt to Taoist priests with different realms and physical constitutions.

Although there are nearly a hundred Taoist priests in the camp, it was a complete accident to enter the land of the demons this time. No one thought he would have to carry too much supplies, so the materials were still very lacking, and often he could only put them in one go.

Meng Xu, a Taoist priest from Zhaoshan Pharmacy, was a little nervous. She was one of the only two pyre priests in the team, but she was more accustomed to following other people's arrangements instead of making her own decisions. Every time she found that the materials were lacking, she would raise her heart, look at her companions helplessly, and said in entangled: "What should I do?"

The others had no choice. The Taoist priests who swallowed the smoke had no confidence, and they were even more panicked. The two Taoist priests of the divine engineering accidentally broke five mud bowls and looked at each other, with anger in their eyes, and they both thought that this was Meng Xu's fault.

It was at this time that Gan Zhiquan walked in and stood at the door and glanced.

The seven Taoist priests stopped their work and looked at Gan Zhiquan blankly, not knowing how to deal with this Taoist priest. Is he born or died? Is he a possessed demon or normal? Is he free or a puppet? No one can tell, and even he cannot.

"How is the progress?" Gan Zhiquan asked. He has always been the recognized leader of the Taoist priests of Demon Invasion, and is different from Mu Xingqiu. He is "his own person", but now he has become an "outsider".

"Uh... it's okay." Meng Xu put a dozen Xinghua Feiying in his hand on the table, accidentally dropped one, and hurriedly cast a spell and sucked it up, showing a little panic.

She is a Taoist priest who swallows the smoke, but she is as reserved as an inhaler of a Taoist priest.

An older Taoist priest from Hongluke couldn't help it and said, "I lacked a few materials and some of them inadequate weight, but this is not a big problem. The key is-" He glanced at Meng Xu, "Everyone has insufficient experience, and the conditions here are too simple. I don't know what the elixir that was refined in the end would look like."

Meng Xu's face turned slightly red. She was the host. If the alchemy failed, she had to bear the greatest responsibility. She whispered: "In Zhaoshan, the alchemy is not like this..."

Zhaoshan has everything, but there is almost nothing here.

Gan Zhiquan thought for a while and walked to an open space where there was no place. He formed a rectangular wooden table, summoned pens and paper and other objects to spread them on it, and then rushed to the seven Taoist priests and said, "Everyone comes here, let's make a detailed plan first, and then start refining alchemy."

The Taoists came over hesitantly, stopped a few steps apart, and Meng Xu plucked up the courage to ask, "Did you want to help yourself, or... Mu Xingqiu asked you to come?"

Gan Zhiquan smiled, his smile seemed a little stiff. His soul had not yet fully adapted to his original body. He raised his hand and rubbed the muscles on his face, "Is my answer meaningful?"

Indeed, any of Gan Zhiquan's answers would be considered Mu Xingqiu's intention to stuff it into his mind. The seven Taoist priests looked at each other but still didn't get closer.

"If you think it's useless to make detailed plans in advance, then don't pay attention to me. If you think it's a little necessary, don't worry about who this is. Mu Xingqiu and I will not harm you, let alone destroy the alchemy. Don't forget that Mu Xingqiu's two best friends have also been attacked by evil spirits."

Gan Zhiquan was talking for Mu Xingqiu, which sounded more manipulated, but his words made sense. Meng Xu and others could not find any reason to object, so they all walked to the table and formed a circle.

"The first step in the plan, you must first calm your mind. Look at how you look now, how can you still look like a Taoist priest?" Gan Zhiquan's voice was a little stern, but the seven alchemists felt that this was more like the Taoist priest Hongshan they had known before.

"I don't know what's going on." Meng Xu sighed, "My Taoist heart seems to be getting more and more... I'm really worried that this is... this is..."

"This is a sign of being possessed by the devil." Gan Zhiquan said for her, pressing his hands on the table, and his eyes swept across the faces of the seven Taoist priests one by one. "I have been possessed by the devil, and I can tell you responsibly that the devils will never be panic. They have doubts, but they are extremely convinced of their own doubts and have no hesitation."

The seven Taoist priests finally breathed a sigh of relief, and one Taoist priest asked carefully: "Are you going to be devil again?"

"Who knows, let's wait until the fifteen days are over."

"I heard that the method of extermination will change the body. Where is your change?"

Gan Zhiquan opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue. It looked normal. The other Taoist priests were wondering. The tongue suddenly turned around and grew to six or seven feet. It was covered with scales of reverse life, like a thorny whip.

His tongue flickered and quickly returned to normal. When he returned to Gan Zhiquan's mouth, the Taoist priests watching were shocked. They were speechless for a while, and their faces changed a little.

Gan Zhiquan remained silent, "The demons destroyed everyone's hearts of Taoist priests, so your state of mind was not as calm as before, but this was not inevitable. My heart of Taoist priests was not left at all, but I did not become a madman. In the past, we relied on practice and magic to stabilize our minds, but now we have to rely on our own will. Remember, dozens of Taoist priests are waiting for you to create the Restoration Pills. Since the most important materials are available, there is nothing to worry about."

The seven Taoist priests nodded at the same time and rekindled their confidence. Although Gan Zhiquan had some changes from his body to his personality, he was still the leader they believed in.

It took more than half an hour to make a plan, and the lack of materials could not be made out of nothing. However, the seven people finally knew what they should do, and they would not be in a hurry when things were about to come. After the plan became clear, they even felt that it was not that difficult to create a elixir. All the worries they had before were thought too much.

"Restart work." Meng Xu said happily. Although the Swallowing Taoist should not have acted moody, she still smiled happily.

Gan Zhiquan is a Taoist priest from the Five Elements Department. In addition to stabilizing morale and helping to formulate detailed plans, he was unable to provide specific help in alchemy, so he did not stay for a long time and walked out of the tent.

At the door, he met Mu Xingqiu who came in.

The seven alchemy Taoist priests stopped their work again and stared at the two Taoist priests, with a faint expectation: when Mu Xingqiu raised his hand, Gan Zhiquan would obediently make the designated actions.

But the performance of these two people really disappointed them. Mu Xingqiu and Gan Zhiquan gave each other a standard Taoist ritual, and without even saying a word, they went their own way and separated.

"I need fellow Taoists from the Divine Engineering Department to do me a favor." Mu Xingqiu said, summoning out a black-patterned straw hat with the Demon Lord's Dharma.

Everyone knew the power of this straw hat, and the expressions of the seven alchemy Taoists changed again. Especially two Taoists of the divine engineering, holding the mud pot that had just been made and had not been cooked, and the mud bowl was stunned on the spot. One of them said tremblingly: "I, we are not yet possessed." He also felt that it was not very convincing. He turned to Meng Xu and others, "You can prove it, right?"

The other five Taoist priests nodded hesitantly.

The wooden table transformed by Gan Zhiquan was still there, and Mu Xingqiu walked over and placed the straw hat on the table, "Don't get me wrong, I just want to add a mark on it."

The two Taoist priests of the divine engineering breathed a sigh of relief. Put down the artifacts in their hands and walked over, and the other Taoists also approached curiously. Looking at the straw hat that could make people resurrect from life to death and then from the dead.

The Taoist priests of the Divine Engineering Department summoned out bronze seals and bronze mirrors, and used two magic tools to observe the straw hats.

The straw hat trembled gently first, then slowly rose two magic characters, floating in the three-foot-high sky and slowly rotated.

A quarter of an hour later, the two Taoists put away their magic weapons, raised their hands to wipe off the sweat beads from their foreheads, looked at each other, and shook their heads at the same time, one of them said, "The power of the Demon Lord's Dharma is too strong, but the straw hat is too fragile. We... are not able to impose marks."

Another person said, "I really don't know what the person who blessed the Demon Lord's Dharma thought. He actually attached such a powerful force to an ordinary object. At most, the straw hat would decompose itself in six months."

"It was my blessing. I was worried that the power of the Demon Lord's Dharma was too powerful, so I let it stay on the straw hat." Mu Xingqiu said.

The Taoist priest of the Divine Engineering Department smiled awkwardly, "This is also a way. Part of the power of the Demon Lord's Dharma is used to maintain the integrity of the straw hat, and it is indeed impossible to retaliate against the master. Sorry, we cannot impose a mark on it. There is probably only one person in the entire camp who can do it."

Mu Xingqiu had long thought of this person, but as long as he had a choice, he was unwilling to ask for help from this person.

Zhou Qianhui, the Taoist priest of Yashan, is not only a Taoist priest of the divine engineering, but also the first one. Slaying demons and eliminating demons is not his specialty. He gives a unique mark to a magic weapon. Looking at the entire Taoist throne, few people can compare to him.

Mu Xingqiu said goodbye to the seven alchemy Taoists and had to go to see Zhou Qianhui.

The straw hat is becoming increasingly unstable. The Taoist priest of the Divine Engineering Department judged that it could last for up to six months, but Mu Xingqiu felt that it might break down within a few days.

Zhou Qianhui was tied with Xiaoyaosuo and multiple spells were imposed on the tent, so he knew nothing about what happened in the camp. However, when he saw the black-patterned straw hat, he still had a solemn expression on his face. Before Mu Xingqiu could speak, he said, "If I read it correctly, there are magic spells on it."

"That's right." Mu Xingqiu did not show his straw hat when he met last time. He then placed it in front of Zhou Qianhui and sat opposite him.

Zhou Qianhui could not cast spells, so he could only observe the straw hat with his naked eyes. After a long time, he asked, "Have you cast the spells here?"

"Yeah, twice."

"To kill or save people?"

"I think I'm saving people."

"Very good." Zhou Qianhui looked up at Mu Xingqiu, with a sarcastic smile on his face, "You can prepare your funeral for these two people."
