"Secondly, with the remaining half of the hide, I think you can make a gauntlet. As for the pouch, I don't really recommend it. Because I looked at the materials you currently have, one is the heat core of the Heat Eater, which is a pure material and won't weaken over time."

"As for the other two Firestones, the flames inside won't disappear unless you crush them. It's a bit of a waste to create a fire sac in a place as cold and frozen as the North."

Lu Yuan agreed, since he really didn't know what to do either.

I was originally planning to make clothes, but I got a new one myself, so I don't need to anymore.

Then Oden said, "Alright, call me when you can't handle it, I'm going to sleep." So Oden shut down and logged off at lightning speed.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan was preparing to gather the materials and make the fire-suppressing potion.

According to the formula provided by Oden, the first step is to prepare the medicine.

The first step is to crush the cold water stone.

Cold Water Stone is a special type of stone that is continuously nurtured in the frozen rivers of the North. It feels cool to the touch and is perfect for cooling off in the summer.

However, there should be no summer in the North.

First, weigh out the required amount, then crush it very finely without destroying the coldness inside the stone.

Well, to be honest, Lu Yuan didn't quite understand why the coldness inside the Cold Water Stone wasn't destroyed after it was crushed.

But even though he doesn't understand it, the insect of knowledge can see it.

So Lu Yuan explained to the Insect of Knowledge that he needed it to keep an eye on things while he was grinding the Cold Water Stone, to make sure that the power inside wouldn't be lost.

The knowledge worm babbled on and on, indicating that it was capable.

Lu Yuan didn't let his clothes help him; he wanted to go first.

So Lu Yuan put the cold water stone into a vessel and, with a little force, crushed it into powder.

The worm of knowledge lay beside the vessel, watching intently.

As Lu Yuan's hands continued to crush the cold water stone, the Insect of Knowledge responded to Lu Yuan's movements, telling him whether to speed up or slow down.

It has to be said that since the Bronze City, after the Knowledge Worm has eaten countless things, Lu Yuan could feel that the Knowledge Worm's intelligence had significantly improved.

No, or rather, when the Worm of Knowledge communicated with itself, it felt more like a human. Its understanding of some of Lu Yuan's words underwent a qualitative change, as if it had become a spirit.

Of course, Lu Yuan also knew that the Worm of Knowledge was destined not to become a human and had nothing to do with humans.

However, it is now considered one of the more intelligent ones in the swarm of knowledge insects.

Indeed, reading a lot can help develop your brain.

Lu Yuan sighed inwardly.

Subsequently, with the help of the Knowledge Insect, the Cold Water Stone was successfully crushed into powder.

The powder of the cold water stone is also very interesting; it is a light green color that emits a mysterious glow.

Next, the saltpeter is poured in and mixed well.

This step doesn't require the help of the Knowledge Worm, because there's nothing particularly noteworthy in Auden's recipe; just mix it well.

Then, add purified water to the pot.

The powder and saltpeter are boiled together until boiling, and then fir resin is added.

Lu Yuan watched the gradually boiling vessel, then quickly added the fir resin. Soon the boiling water stopped, and a thin film formed on the surface.

At this point, the medicine is halfway to success.

Only the leaves of the Ice Source Grass are taken; the roots and stems are discarded entirely.

The snow ginseng root needs to be slowly dried over a flame to extract its essence.

Of these two steps, drying the snow ginseng rootlets requires extremely skillful techniques.

But there was nothing he could do. Lu Yuan had the Knowledge Worm watching over him, and with the constant prompts from the gray and white text, plus a strange feeling that he now had while making medicine, it was as if he knew what the right thing to do was.

Lu Yuan didn't know where this feeling came from; it was probably from pharmacology.

Subsequently, under Lu Yuan's gentle roasting fire, the snow ginseng whiskers quickly curled slightly and developed a strange sheen.

Lu Yuan then quickly collected them, put the two items into the cauldron, and slowly added them in according to the method taught by Auden, until the liquid gradually turned into a paste.

Then a second round of water was added.

At this point, the fire suppressant is almost successfully prepared.

As the flame was turned back on, the previously thick ointment became thinner.

Next comes the filter residue. Take the clear liquid, add fir resin again, and let it stand.

After about half an hour, the medicine finally solidified into a paste.

Oh, that's not easy.

Lu Yuan grinned as he looked at the 1 point increase in experience points for Pharmacy.

Sure enough, the experience gained from developing new drugs is plentiful.

I just don't know what its condition is like.

Looking at the snow-white paste in front of him, Lu Yuan felt that he had done a good job.

The Insect of Knowledge nodded in agreement.

The second step is to remove the insect skin.

First, according to Oden, the fire-suppressing ointment should be evenly applied to the entire insect skin, ensuring that it is completely covered and of uniform thickness.

As the fire-suppressing ointment slowly dripped onto the insect skin, it gradually seeped in.

The firefly skin, which had initially felt somewhat hot, gradually cooled down.

Clearly, the restless fiery nature within it has been gradually suppressed.

After all, only with the inhibition of this ointment can the firefly skin not explode when I cut myself.

The third step is seal carving.

This is also the most important step at present.

Lu Yuan planned to make two fire talismans first, as Auden had suggested.

Auden had already passed on the techniques needed to engrave the fire talisman.

Its main techniques are very similar to those of inscription literature, but it is also a school of its own.

It is mainly divided into three types: fixed pattern, running line, and touch-up.

The process of creating the inscription is quite simple; it involves using a heated needle to burn the background of the inscription onto the insect skin.

These patterns must follow the natural lines of the insect's molted shell.

Because if you go to the wrong place, the fire element it contains will overflow directly through the crack.

And this step is also the most difficult.

Because most people simply cannot perceive the fire element.

If you can't detect the fire element, you can only rely on experience, specifically the experience of dealing with firefly skins.

For example, if you feel that this piece of skin is thinner, then the success rate of tattooing in this area is lower, while that area is thicker and the success rate is higher.

You can only rely on speculation and your own intuition, which is why most people fail at this step.

The second step is to run the wiring.

You need to use a carving knife to cut along the base pattern.

The key is to cut straight through without breaking or piling up.

Where the wire breaks, if the depth is too high, the fire will accumulate there, and if it accumulates too much, it will explode.

This step was considered quite risky, but Lu Yuan wasn't worried.
