Chapter 469 Alchemy Room
Sitting with Laojun in the Tushita Palace, drinking tea and discussing Taoism.
This is also a great honor for Li Yuan.
Laojun doesn't talk much. He often just sits quietly with his eyes closed, smiles, drinks tea, and looks at the white clouds. He is very indifferent.
Li Yuan racked his brains to find some insensitive topics and chatted with Laojun in a casual manner.
However, Laojun slowly opened his eyes and asked a question.
"brat."
"If one day, all your relatives and friends are dead, all your old friends are gone..."
"Even the entire land was destroyed."
Laojun stared into Li Yuan's eyes.
"Are you still willing to protect this vast world?"
"Or will they lose their true nature, become muddleheaded, and become the source of corruption?"
Li Yuan was startled, looking at Laojun's expression which seemed casual yet serious, he felt a little creepy.
"Uh... Laojun, please don't scare me. I can't stand being scared!"
He waved his hands repeatedly, stood up, and worry and uneasiness appeared in his eyes.
Laojun flicked his whisk lightly and smiled without saying a word.
After a while, he slowly said:
"It's just a wild guess..."
Li Yuan felt a chill on his back and his body tensed up.
A person like Taishang Laojun is of extremely high status, it is impossible for him to do something without a purpose.
Seeing Li Yuan's uneasy look, Laojun sighed and said, "Don't make random guesses."
"Your destiny is in your own hands."
"Just remember to leave yourself a way out..."
There was some complexity in Laojun's words at the end.
But before Li Yuan could ask more questions.
A white crane flew over from the sky.
The whole body is snow-white, as if cast in silver, with a high neck, a red head, and slender legs.
In his mouth, he was holding a bamboo basket, which contained some magical materials.
Taishang Laojun stood up, waved his hand slightly, and flew out from somewhere in the Tushita Palace in an orange-yellow Taoist robe printed with the Eight Trigrams.
Laojun put on a yellow Taoist robe, took the bamboo basket from Baihe, and walked leisurely towards the alchemy room in Tushita Palace with the Eight Direction Immortal Steps.
"Come with me to make some elixirs, and clean your eyes."
Laojun turned around and gave Li Yuan a kind smile.
As a person of his stature, he could naturally see that Li Yuan's eyes, which were faintly shimmering with a golden halo, were brewing some kind of magical power.
But it’s not perfect enough and still lacks some opportunities.
Li Yuan moved his lips, but still bowed and followed Laojun to the alchemy room.
The Tushita Palace is neither big nor small.
In a blink of an eye, Li Yuan lost Laojun. Looking at the vast expanse of white mist, he could only bite the bullet and move forward in the original direction.
It took Li Yuan a whole day to reach the alchemy room.
There seems to be some mysterious means to prevent outsiders from spying and entering.
Laojun stood outside the alchemy room, waiting for Li Yuan to approach, with a smile on his face.
"In that case, just remember the route."
Taishang Laojun stroked his long beard and smiled kindly.
Li Yuan had some doubts, but when he saw Laojun turn around and walk into the alchemy room, he didn't say anything.
The alchemy room looks very ordinary, like an ordinary side hall, but it is very spacious inside.
What you see is a tall furnace, burning with red flames, forever.
When Li Yuan took his first look, the furnace seemed to be a thousand feet high; but when he took another closer look, it seemed to be only a head taller than a person.
Turning around, I saw small grids on the wall, with various colored fires in them, which was very amazing.
Laojun was carrying a bamboo basket and holding a whisk, walking slowly and calmly in front.
When passing by those grids, seeing that Li Yuan was curious, he explained softly.
"This is the fire of cultural relics, which I often use when refining treasures and melting objects."
In the grid, a ball of ever-changing flame was leaping. It looked ordinary, but it had an extremely terrifying temperature.
Li Yuan was just passing by, but even someone with the cultivation level of a great god could feel a slight burning sensation.
"This is the Six Ding Divine Fire, which can be used to refine things and people, and it is quite magical."
After walking through another small grid, Laojun explained indifferently.
Li Yuan nodded as if he understood, and cleared his mind of thoughts.
This is an extremely similar alien world, and the mythological characters are all similar, so it doesn't seem strange to have these things.
"This is the candle fire, a type of martial fire that is quite violent and is usually used to burn solid objects."
"This is the Wuji Daoyan, a combination of yin and yang, with infinite magical uses. It was given by the two gods, Taiyin and Taiyang."
"This is the Heavenly Divine Flame, which contains the will of heaven and can burn gods and turn them into bones, just like the might of thunder."
"This is the Earthly Evil Wandering Flame, which contains a wisp of the Great Earthly Evil. It is perfect for nourishing your Fushang Sword. You can take it away later."
Laojun knows everything about this and will give a brief introduction every time he walks past a grid.
Li Yuan followed behind, nodding continuously, thinking that today he had 'seen the world'.
These precious and powerful flames are extremely rare in the outside world.
Laojun introduced them one by one and finally arrived in front of the big alchemy furnace.
"This is the Hunyuan Bagua furnace, which can refine the heaven and earth, contain all things, and transform everything."
"The Qiankun furnace you requested is in the side room."
"Today, help me fan the alchemy furnace. When you leave, I will lend you the Qiankun furnace."
Taishang Laojun gently stroked his long beard, his expression was very calm.
It seemed as if everything in the world was under his control and there was no need for any emotional fluctuations.
Li Yuan bowed respectfully: "I, the little god, thank you, Laojun."
Following Laozi's instructions, he sat down on the small stool in front of the Bagua stove and picked up the palm-leaf fan.
Two boys appeared nearby. When they got closer and took a look, they were a little dumbfounded.
"Laojun, he is fanning the furnace, what should we do?"
"Besides, with his weak bones, how can he fan himself?"
"What if the force is not enough and the elixir explodes? Wouldn't that be a waste of the precious elixir material?"
The two boys had similar faces and buns on their hair. They both had their hands on their hips, looking at Li Yuan with a look of dissatisfaction on their faces.
They were the boys who looked after the alchemy furnace. In the past, they were the ones who did things like fanning the furnace and adding firewood!
Laojun smiled calmly, his voice gentle and kind:
"Golden Horn and Silver Horn, be good and help me feed the blue ox."
Li Yuan also touched his nose, smiled awkwardly, and greeted Jinjiao and Yinjiao.
The two boys, Jinjiao and Yinjiao, rolled their eyes at Li Yuan, pouted, and ran out one after the other.
Looks very lively and active.
In the alchemy room, Taishang Laojun put down the bamboo basket, looked at the Bagua furnace with flickering flames, and waved his hand. The immortal materials and treasures in the bamboo basket automatically flew into the furnace.
At the same time, a ball of fire also floated out from the wall grid where the fire of the Six Ding Divine Fire was placed, and joined the Bagua furnace.
"The melting stage lasts about an hour and a quarter, and you need to fan it 7749 times."
"Use only 30% of your strength. Don't use too much strength."
Laojun closed his eyes, sat cross-legged in front of the Bagua furnace, and put his mind into the furnace.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan began to wave the cattail leaf fan evenly.
This palm-leaf fan is also an incredible treasure. Li Yuan clearly saw that when he waved the fan, a strong and powerful wind was blown out of it!
In the furnace, the Six Ding Divine Fires were burning fiercely, and with the help of the wind, they became even more violent.
However, at the same time, a cloud of dark smoke floated out of the furnace and headed straight for Li Yuan's face.
Feeling the extremely chaotic breath and energy in the smoke, he instinctively dodged but was stopped by Laojun.
"It's good for your eyes."
Laojun closed his eyes calmly, never opening them, but he knew everything that was happening.
Hearing this, Li Yuan gritted his teeth and widened his eyes, staring at the fire in the furnace and facing the black smoke.
