Chapter 179 Alchemy Furnace
-------
"The Human Emperor Banner...what kind of material do you need?" Guan Yingkui didn't hesitate and asked Xu Zhuo directly what he needed.

During the practice, monks need magic weapons to protect themselves.

Of course, some magic weapons do not protect the way, but can assist in spiritual practice, which is another matter.

In short, monks still need magic weapons to make their path of cultivation smoother and more stable.

Xu Zhuo thought for a moment, "The bodies and souls of alien races will do. If there are any demonic spirits, you can also send them to me. I have other uses for them. But I don't have much money here. Can I use something else to pay for it?"

Guan Yingkui frowned slightly: "Corpses and souls? I do have some of them, but as for the money, forget it, you can use it as you please. I don't know how much the divine spring you gave me before is worth."

Got it? I'll give you some more divine springs, right? Xu Zhuo heard the principal's subtext.

"Also, I sold the natal demon spirit you gave me before for a good price, and then bought this for you."

Guan Yingkui took out a purple-black gem from his sleeve. There seemed to be a deep world inside, which made people want to sink their gaze into it.

"Huh? A treasure with space attributes?" Xu Zhuo didn't even mention treasures with space attributes. After killing so many sea monsters, he had never seen any sea monster refine a strange kind of energy with space attributes.

As you can imagine, spatial attributes are very rare.

"Yes, this is a void gem. It took tens of millions of years of void storms to condense into one. It is extremely rare and is most suitable for cultivators in the outer Qi realm who practice space-attribute Qigong. It is both offensive and defensive."

Guan Yingkui handed the treasure to Xu Zhuo, who immediately used his Xuantian Qi to enter it and imprint his own mark on it. Then the gem floated above his head and instantly formed a spherical void air shield around him.

He urged it slightly, and the gem suddenly sank into the void, then emerged in the distant sky, shattered a cloud, disappeared again, and quietly returned to Xu Zhuo's hand.

The attacks are elusive and leave no trace.

This natural treasure tempered in the void storm has long experienced the trials of various void storms and can travel through the void extremely smoothly. It is indeed a good treasure.

Guan Yingkui continued, "This is a treasure, and also a special elixir. When you no longer need it, you can crush it and integrate it into your own true qi to improve the quality of your true qi, allowing your true qi to have a higher control and affinity with the void. Therefore, although this is only something used in the outer qi realm, it is extremely rare, which made me spend one of my natal demon spirits to exchange for it."

Guan Yingkui said that he was not greedy, but this thing was worth the price.

Xu Zhuo felt the gem, which was a treasure condensed from the power of the void. It was round and had a stable space inside.

Just like a round stone polished in a torrent, it is a natural talent for it to be able to travel through void storms. If it is refined, it can also gain this ability.

"My dear, Principal, this is the fee for using the treasure house. Also, I see there is an alchemy furnace in the school, can you lend it to me?"

In order to thank the principal for opening the treasure house to him, Xu Zhuo took out a bottle of magic spring.

Guan Yingkui said "How can I feel embarrassed about this" while quickly putting the Shenquan into his wide sleeves, his old face beaming with smile.

He could still refuse other things, but he really couldn't refuse Shenquan.

"You can use the alchemy furnace as you like. It was left by our ancestors. It is connected to the endless fire veins underground. A large amount of underground fire gushes out at all times. It is a good place to cultivate fire-attributed alien energy."

So, the principal paid the money, and Xu Zhuo took all the suitable corpses in the treasury, the old bones, the sealed external Qi realm demons' innate Qi, some specially collected residual souls, and also took away a large amount of ordinary materials.

Afterwards, the principal took him to the weapon refining room. This was a vast underground space deep in the school, more than 200 feet deep into the mountain.

It was very stuffy here. In the middle stood a three-legged red copper cauldron that was as tall as a person. The bottom of the cauldron was burned red and transparent, and the heat was oppressive. Various black bird patterns were carved on it.

There is fire energy beneath the earth that is continuously drawn up and sent into this alchemy furnace. The power of fire flows through those engraved black birds, maintaining the ever-lasting flame here.

Its powerful burning force could be felt even through the alchemy furnace. At all times, there were forces equivalent to thousands of fire-attributed alien energies rushing forward, trying to gush out from the ground, but they were suppressed by the alchemy furnace.

"How is it here?" Guan Yingkui asked with some pride, "This is the alchemy furnace that our ancestor robbed back then, the Xuanniao King Furnace, a king-level treasure, which is connected to the endless fire veins underground. There is a constant supply of underground fire rising up to maintain the temperature of the alchemy furnace. I will allow teachers in the academy who have cultivated to the external Qi realm to come here to cultivate for a period of time. It only takes a few days to cultivate a powerful fire-attributed alien Qi."

Xuanniao King Furnace?

I’m afraid it was snatched from the Daxuan royal family.

"good."

Xu Zhuo also liked the fierce firepower here. Fire was very important when it came to refining equipment. The better the quality of the fire and the stronger the firepower, the more convenient it would be to refine equipment.

"Have you ever refined any weapon?" Guan Yingkui asked.

"No, this is the first time."

"Then let me teach you some knowledge about refining. This furnace is a king furnace. It is of a very high grade and has a very strong firepower. If you are not careful, it is possible to burn the materials into ashes. Let me teach you how to use it."

Guan Yingkui has no plans to go anywhere recently, so he stays here with Xu Zhuo.

"Okay, thank you, Principal."

"Then let's get started. I'll teach you the basics of refining first. Watch me."

Guan Yingkui began to throw in some common materials and used various refining techniques to calcine them, demonstrating how to extract useful substances from the materials and discard the waste.

Xu Zhuo closed his eyes, then opened them again. His overlapping purple-gold pupils stared at the alchemy furnace. The strange divine light made Guan Yingkui tremble.

Double pupils!

The double pupils of the ancient human emperor!
From those breathtakingly gorgeous purple-gold pupils, Guan Yingkui vaguely saw eighteen profound and complicated characters, as if using these brief characters to explain the great principles of heaven and earth.

"As expected of a person with double pupils, he is indeed extraordinary."

After Guan Yingkui admired the strange phenomenon of the double pupils, he focused his mind on refining the weapon. "I just demonstrated the method of using flames to extract the essence from the materials. The next step is to use flames to change the properties of the materials to achieve our requirements. Watch carefully!"

Extracting the desired substances from raw materials is only the beginning; the next step is to use flames to change and enhance the properties of the materials.

Guan Yingkui taught all these very quickly because Xu Zhuo did not stop or ask any questions. Everything was reflected in his gorgeous purple-gold double pupils.

Then he started to increase the difficulty.
