The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 193 Start making alchemy

"This Fury talent consumes too much vitality. After reaching level 6 Fury, it will cost at least 3500 vitality points at a time. It's too scary."

"And the most effective way to replenish vitality is to take elixirs, and the most cost-effective way to obtain elixirs is to make them yourself, so, this is the end of the story."

"But now is not the time to make the elixir."

"I have to wait until the eighth-grade spiritual fruit matures. In addition, I also have to upgrade the level of my ice and fire spiritual roots."

"If you want to learn how to make pills from humans, you can't avoid the ice and fire spiritual roots."

Wang Wu had his own plan in mind, and he needed to follow it step by step.

At that moment, he closed the attribute bar, put aside all the distracting thoughts in his mind, and stopped thinking about it. He continued to transform the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into red flame and ice, and began to practice the dual spiritual roots of ice and fire. This was destined to be a long process, and the speed of practice would be very slow, not determined by his will.

There is no way. As an ancient giant bear, since he enjoys the advantages brought by his bloodline, he must bear the disadvantages brought by his bloodline.

That means it is ten times slower than the spiritual root cultivation of humans.

Even though he has passive level 3 frost, passive level 3 burning, and the cultivation bonus brought by the current level 11 spiritual essence, the increase is only a small amount at most, and the speed is about nine times slower than that of human cultivation.

A human cultivator's one month of practice is equivalent to his nine months.

However, he must improve this aspect. If humans can do it, he cannot be worse than them.

This is a strategic high ground. If he cannot take it, he will be destined to be controlled by others in the future.

So no matter how hard or difficult it is, we have to rush forward and seize this strategic high ground.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

Apart from picking ripe berries every day, Wang Wu would enter a passive hidden state to cultivate his dual spiritual roots of ice and fire.

The little tree spirit sent by Lu Dongyang came every day, but gained nothing every day. Oh, the only gain was the report that the ripe berries would be picked every day.

Anyway, they tortured each other like this for a month, and the little tree spirit finally stopped coming.

But Wang Wu did not take it lightly, and still insisted on practicing the dual spiritual roots of ice and fire to deal with any emergency in the best condition.

In the outside world, winter has ended, and Wang Wu has officially entered the fifth year since he traveled to this world of immortal cultivation.

Spring is here, flowers are blooming, and all things are reviving. The bright sunshine begins to set every day, but Lingyun cannot be snatched away. There are too many monsters in the entire tiankeng area. Even if there is no big monster to snatch Lingyun away, it will be impossible.

So Wang Wu noticed that the monsters in Tiankeng City would bring their elders and children on a grand spring outing to other places, to more distant places to snatch spiritual essence and absorb spiritual energy.

It is worth mentioning that no monsters go to the Black Forest to cut wood anymore. Going to the Black Forest in spring, summer and autumn is tantamount to seeking death.

Wang Wu did not go out, but remained dormant in the cave, patiently waiting for the two eighth-grade spiritual fruit trees to mature.

Through the 11th level of spiritual essence, he can basically determine that the earliest date for these eighth-grade spiritual fruits to mature is another eight months.

But he didn't want to grow quickly, he just wanted the eighth-grade spiritual fruit in the best condition, so he could wait.

In this way, he continued to cultivate the dual spiritual roots of ice and fire, month after month, from spring to summer, from summer to autumn, without leaving the house.

During this period, the little tree spirit came several times, but did not dare to stay. He just looked at the ripe berries that were picked every day and then quickly slipped away.

At this point, if Lu Dongyang still didn't understand what was going on, he would be really stupid.

Anyway, what Wang Wu has created for him now is an illegal monster character who has mastered the magic of confusing minds, possessed the venom of the demon king level, and has excellent stealth ability, but has nothing.

If you don't provoke me, I won't provoke you. If you dare to provoke me, then I, who am barefoot, am not afraid of those who wear shoes. Let's fight to the death.

Especially as long as you can't see through my invisibility, you have no idea how much damage my revenge will cause.

After all, a thief can only steal for a thousand days, but you can never guard against thieves for a thousand days.

As a human spy, Lu Dongyang could not and had no need to take this risk.

Now it seems that this character is quite good.

Wang Wu can finally do something down-to-earth.

In this way, when autumn ended and winter came again, when the eighth-grade spiritual fruit finally matured, Wang Wu also successfully cultivated the dual spiritual roots of ice and fire (7/10)

It’s really too difficult. It took almost a year to improve by just two points.

It is estimated that if it were a human cultivator, even one with average aptitude, one year would be enough to cultivate to the intermediate level of spiritual roots.

The good news is that the storage limit of Ice Aura and Red Flame Aura has been successfully broken through to 800.

Speaking of it, the practice of the dual spiritual roots of ice and fire has an upper limit, which is the blue bar. If the blue bar is not enough, you can't do anything.

"It's almost done. I can try to make the elixir now."

Wang Wu exited passive concealment at this moment, because if he wanted to refine the elixir, he would need to use an elixir furnace, which would make quite a bit of noise, so there would be no point in hiding any further.

He first went to the spiritual field and picked the ripe eighth-grade spiritual fruits one by one.

A total of twelve eighth-grade natural spiritual fruits and seven ninth-grade natural spiritual fruits were picked from the first spiritual fruit tree.

The second spiritual fruit tree picked a total of eleven eighth-grade natural spiritual fruits and nine ninth-grade natural spiritual fruits. After picking them, there will be no more spiritual fruits on the fruit tree. It may take until next spring to bloom and bear fruit, and then it will mature two years later. Anyway, it will mature every three years.

"What a good thing!"

Wang Wu praised it highly.

After he put most of the eighth-grade spiritual fruits into the storage bag, he only left one outside. This thing looked as big as an ordinary apple, and its overall color was like a rosy glow, but it was not that kind of dead dark red, but a lively red. Even in a dim room, you could see a layer of golden spiritual light floating on it.

But in Wang Wu's perception, especially with the 17th level danger perception + 11th level spiritual essence perception, this is not as concrete as a spiritual fruit at all, but a very pure ball of spiritual energy with golden color and bright red, which is bound by a hard outer skin.

He could even tell at a glance how much spiritual energy was contained in this object.

A lot, one can have 5000 points of spiritual energy, which is better than the eighth-grade spiritual fish that Wang Wu ate.

Of course, this is not just a difference in variety or quality, but a more comprehensive and scientific statistic.

It can be said that if Wang Wu directly eats this eighth-grade spiritual fruit at this moment, he can actually obtain 2000 points of spiritual energy, which is considered awesome.

Of the remaining 3000 points of spiritual energy, a small amount will be converted into satiety and vitality, and the rest will be wasted.

In other words, if Wang Wu put the eighth-grade spirit fish in front of him today, he could calculate that the amount of spiritual energy inside it is at least 4000+.

Therefore, how to absorb effectively is the key.

And this is also the importance of alchemy.

To use the concept of earthlings, it is called energy efficiency ratio.

Wang Wu has such a powerful ancient bloodline and level 15 self-healing ability, but his energy utilization rate of this eighth-grade spiritual fruit is less than 50%. It makes sense why science and technology are the strongest productive forces.

At this moment, Wang Wu compared it with the ninth-grade spiritual fruit again and found that the total spiritual energy value inside it was about 2000 points, which was very good.

After all, a fast-growing ninth-grade berry is only worth 20 points of spiritual energy.

After thinking about it, he took back the eighth-grade spiritual fruit. He once wanted to learn alchemy secretly, but since he had the 11th-level spiritual essence, he felt that he could completely figure out how to make the alchemy on his own.

Don't talk about so much mysterious and messy stuff, just get to the point.

The purpose of alchemy is to improve the utilization rate of energy.

This sentence can sum it up.

Even if an immortal came, he would have to admit this.

Right, we have to talk about the basic principles.

At this moment, Wang Wu's gaze fell on the eighth-grade alchemy furnace. This thing was quite different from what he had imagined before and from what he had seen in novels on Earth before.

It was not a round furnace or something that looked like a stove, but more like a steel-making blast furnace in a factory. Although Wang Wu had never seen a real blast furnace, this furnace was quite complicated.

From his point of view, it includes the fuel combustion area, the feeding area, the smoke exhaust area, the high temperature maintenance baking area, and other unclear areas.

It is worth mentioning that this alchemy furnace also comes with the specific alchemy steps for two commonly used alchemy recipes, and the materials required are very thoughtful.

After studying it for a while, Wang Wu turned around and walked into the warehouse. He took out the disassembled ninth-grade alchemy furnace from She Dadan's family and disassembled it one by one. Finally, he picked out two hemispheres. They were very small and could just hold an apple when put together.

If what he guessed was correct, this was the core reactor of this seemingly complicated alchemy furnace.

Of course, this does not mean that there is something wrong with the alchemy furnace system provided by the human cultivators. In fact, it is indeed the most suitable thing for the demon race to refine pills.

Because not every monster has cultivated fire spiritual roots, and not every monster that cultivates fire spiritual roots has enough red flame spiritual energy to refine pills.

Fortunately, Wang Wu meets both of these conditions.

What's more, he also has the Heart of the Earth, which allows him to use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to transform the red flame spiritual energy anytime and anywhere.

Besides, he had other ideas.

Is it necessary to use red flame spiritual energy when refining the elixir?

Could it be that the ice spiritual energy cannot be used to make pills?

Going back to the root of the problem, the purpose of alchemy is to improve the utilization rate of energy. Based on this core principle, of course everything is possible.

At this moment, Wang Wu carefully placed the ninth-grade spiritual fruit into one hemisphere, then put the other hemisphere on it and twisted it gently. With a click, the mechanism was locked and it became tight and the workmanship was quite fine.

In this regard, we can always believe that what humans produce must be high quality.

Next, Wang Wu recalled the situation when he was refining the black iron shield, and he naturally clasped the small ball with the palms of his claws. There was no need for preheating or buffering. The left claw was red flame and the right claw was ice. The two kinds of spiritual energy were released synchronously, in the same amount and at the same frequency, without even the slightest difference.

This is Wang Wu's exclusive method. Although his practice seemed to be slow over the past year, it was actually double the speed because his ice and fire spiritual roots could be practiced simultaneously.

Over time, this tacit understanding and resonance was no longer the fragile balance it initially was, but had become a solid, stable balance that produced a great balance of revolutionary friendship.

The two forces of ice and fire have actually become one force in him.
