Chapter 750:
The power of refining the earth's core soul has broken through, how can you not give it a try! So, after taking a short rest, Xiao Heng opened the cauldron to refine medicine again.
It was also the refining of the eighth-grade elixir. Xiao Heng could clearly feel a lot more relaxed during this refining.
Although only the four-color elixir was refined in the end, it only took thirteen days. Don’t think that thirteen days is long. This is an eighth-grade elixir. It takes thirteen days to refine an eighth-grade elixir. Most of the eighth-grade alchemists in the world probably can't do it.
Generally, it takes an eighth-grade alchemist to refine an eighth-grade elixir of one or two colors, usually more than twenty days. If the time is longer, it may take a month. Of course, some alchemists with different personalities may need to refine the elixir before refining it. It's still early to calm down, take a bath and change clothes, etc. If all these hours are added up, in that month, you may not be able to refine an eighth-grade elixir.
Moreover, Xiao Heng's success rate in refining elixirs is definitely very high. According to his own estimation, his current failure rate in refining seventh-grade elixirs is about 20%, while refining five-color elixirs and below The failure rate of eighth-grade elixirs is about 50%.
As for elixirs with five colors and above, the failure rate is only about 100%. As for the more advanced seven-color and eight-color elixirs, the failure rate is probably only 70 to 80%. In other words, it is basically difficult to succeed.
The last time he refined the elixir of the five-color elixir cloud, to be honest, there was more or less luck. Otherwise, at that time, he was not very sure that he could use the elixir of the five-color elixir cloud part-time.
After taking a rest, while being pestered by Zi Yan to refine hundreds of pills, Xiao Heng took out the core of the earth. It was time to refine this thing.
Sitting cross-legged in the cave, in order to prevent the refining movement from affecting the strange fire and causing unnecessary situations, Xiao Heng chose the refining location in the middle of the mountain peak, in a cave he developed himself.
Having arranged the space barrier in advance, Xiao Heng sat down cross-legged without any futon, because his experience told him that any futon was useless.
Taking out the core of the earth and suspending it in front of him, Xiao Heng looked at the bead that did not emit yellow light. He was troubled. How to refine this thing? You can’t just swallow one directly!
When in doubt, ask Xiaocao.
"Xiao Cao, how do you refine this thing? I mean, it's impossible to just swallow this thing!" In order not to be regarded as an idiot by Xiao Cao, Xiao Heng also explained it specially.
Xiaocao gave a rather speechless look and said lightly: "Break it and swallow it!"
"Oh!" Xiao Heng nodded and responded, then looked at the beads in front of him, the sword energy condensed in his fingers, and he stroked lightly .
The outer wall with the surface of yellow beads shattered instantly, and dark yellow light radiated out. In an instant, the entire cave and the mountain peaks trembled.
In the surrounding earth, the dark yellow earth-attribute power began to condense into substantial light pillars, and then poured into the yellow light group.
Seeing the yellow light group expanding in an instant, Xiao Heng exclaimed something bad in his heart and stretched out his palm to grasp the source.
But the next moment, Xiao Heng gritted his teeth. Not only did the pressure around him increase sharply, but his fingers were quickly wrapped in yellow, and then there was a feeling of medicine turning to mud.
The fighting spirit shook, and the yellow color fell off, and his hand returned to its original state. As a three-star Dou Zun, his strength was not what it used to be. Although the pressure was extremely great, he still moved forward little by little.
And as he got closer to the source, the power of the earth began to erode his body, fighting energy circulated, the golden elixir rotated, and even the black and white wings on his back had opened.
But the yellow light still followed his arm and eroded his body. Xiao Heng suddenly used force to grab the dark yellow source, and then withdrew his hand.
The yellow light dissipated, the earth stopped shaking, and all the pressure disappeared. However, half of Xiao Heng's body was still covered with a thick layer of soil-like tissue.
The fighting spirit suddenly shook, and the soil fell off instantly, along with Xiao Heng's skin and flesh.
"Ah...!"
Xiao Yan roared, and the low and hoarse voice echoed in this closed space, like an evil ghost, extremely terrifying.
After a while, Xiao Heng looked at the map stained with his blood and flesh on the ground, breathing heavily. The blood and sweat mixed with the blood and sweat on the face that had lost half of its face, and then fell together.
Looking at his right hand, he saw that all the skin on one hand had fallen off, and even the flesh was missing. It was bleeding like an evil ghost.
Xiao Heng's appearance at this moment looked extremely ferocious. Half of his body had lost its skin, and his tender flesh was exposed to the air. Blood was constantly seeping out, which made him look extremely terrifying.
Xiao Heng gritted his teeth and glanced down. Fortunately, it was not affected.
The other hand took out several jade bottles, and the liquid fell evenly on the flesh and blood under his control. Xiao Heng gritted his teeth after taking the elixir.
When he got this thing, he thought it would be easier to refine it, but now it seems that just the first step almost cost her half her life.
Fortunately, he is an alchemist and has the elixir, and his injuries are being repaired quickly.
After touching two of them, Xiao Heng's skin finally grew back, and he was barely human-like, but the ferocious marks on his body still proved how difficult it was for him to have two.
Xiao Heng looked at the source of the yellow ray in his palm again. Now that he saw this thing, his calves were really shaking, but there was no other way. No matter how difficult it was, he had to take the next step.
Gritting his teeth, he slapped the thing into his belly, and then quickly took out two pills and held them in his mouth, which could save his life at a critical moment.
Then, something suddenly hit him. A yellow line spread from his abdomen to his head, and more yellow lines came out, growing rapidly on his body like cracks on a rock.
Xiao Heng quickly held his breath and concentrated, gritted his teeth, formed the cultivation mudra, circulated the skills, and used fighting energy to push the thing along the meridians.
This process was far less smooth than Xiao Heng imagined. The power of the earth attribute began to spread along his meridians and internal organs. Cracks appeared on his body, and blood began to seep out from those cracks.
In just a moment, Xiao Heng became like a cracked porcelain doll that was stained again. The most terrifying thing was that the porcelain doll was still bleeding out of blood.
Moreover, his body was once again eroded by the earth attribute power, and patches of khaki appeared on his skin again. A piece of skin fell to the ground, crushed, and immediately cracked into soil.
Xiao Heng's situation was more critical than he imagined. He quickly swallowed a pill to prevent himself from collapse.
The seventh-grade peak healing medicine can catch Xiao Heng's life and prevent her from dying immediately, but at the same time, if his refining process is not completed quickly, this medicine may not last long.
"Damn it...! The meridians are solidifying and can't function at all...!"
Xiao Heng's brain was racing in pain, trying to find a solution.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration. Wasn't it a kind of earth-attribute power? There are three powers of the same level in his body now.
It's just that before, he was afraid of angering this earth attribute power, so it was useless. Now when he thought about it, he was afraid of it. There was only one of them. There were three of them on his side, three against one. So what if it exploded even more violently? That's it.
As a result, the power of the other three attributes began to flow out, and the flames surged out, directly burning the yellow until they melted, and the ice directly froze those powers, making it difficult for the earth attribute power to move forward.
As for metallicity, it solidifies the meridians, right? Let's see who is stronger. The golden light directly covers the meridians.
The soil is thick enough and the erosion is very severe, just like a desert. However, it may be easy for the dust to submerge a metal city, but it would be impossible to corrode it within a few decades. The same is true for the current situation.
Horse's! Erosion, right? Labor directly wraps the body with metallic energy, making the body as hard as metal, and it depends on how you erode it.
After doing this, Xiao Heng's condition finally improved. Although the light was still there, it no longer expanded, and the earthy skin and flesh also stopped being assimilated.
"Next, it's my turn." Xiao Heng murmured, now that he was in this situation, he could only suppress the pain.
The three powers of ice, fire, and gold surged out crazily, protecting his body while pushing the earth attribute's origin toward the tendons where the technique was running.
After finding a suitable method, the process went smoothly. In the case where the three qualities were similar to it, or even slightly higher, although the earth attribute power was very dissatisfied, it did not have much resistance and could only be pushed away. Keep moving forward.
And in the process of continuous advancement, the power of this earth attribute was also assimilated by Xiao Heng little by little.
After swallowing the second pill, the medicine began to repair Xiao Heng's body, slightly reducing his pain.
This is a rather long process, because every point is very difficult. Xiao Heng no longer cares about anything else, just pushing the yellow origin to keep moving forward.
It was not until a few days later that the yellow origin was finally completely assimilated by Xiao Heng and became submissive.
Xiao Heng gathered his strength and pushed the thing into the Naling Spirit without any chance for it to resist.
And just when Xiao Heng wanted to catch Xiaocao's power and prevent the four powers from conflicting for the time being, a scene that surprised him happened. He saw that the three powers of ice, fire, and gold were surprisingly consistent at this moment, directly. He trampled down the earth attribute power and trampled it under his feet.
Under the suppression of the three forces, the earth attribute force could not resist. It seemed that it accepted it. Anyway, it originally represented the earth and had always been at the bottom. Now that it is at the bottom, there seems to be nothing unacceptable. .
After being refined, this earth attribute power appears extremely docile, as if it can do anything. It stays quietly at the bottom, as if it has become the earth in Xiao Heng's Qi Sea. It is quiet and seemingly inconspicuous, but it is No one can ignore it.
