The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 173 Refining Pills with Wind, Water, and Fire: A Hydrogen Pill Swallowed (Second Update)

While the competition within the world of the pot was still raging, Luo Zu had already extracted the mercury from the refined gold veins and used immortal fire to refine it into various raw materials for making top-grade earth-fiend pills.

The Earthly Fiend Supreme Pill requires not only the metal element uranium, but also sixteen kinds of Earthly Fiend turbid qi, all of which must be refined to a viscous liquid state before it can be made into an Earthly Fiend Supreme Pill.

The refined gold vein discovered by Luo Zu can be refined into about 390 top-grade Earthly Fiend Pills. If the technique is skilled, it can be refined into 500 pills.

Elder Hai must have refined at least eight or ten thousand top-grade Earthly Fiend Pills. I wonder where he found the rich mineral veins of Earthly Fiends, otherwise how could he have refined so many pills?

Moreover, he can refine more than just this one type of Earthly Fiend Supreme Pill; there are other pills refined with filthy fiend energy.

In addition, he can also gather and refine the pure energy of the heavens, the vitality of plants and trees, and the life force of living beings.

In short, the Wu tribe is not just relying on the earth for sustenance; they have actually considered marching into the Nine Heavens.

Otherwise, how could there be a realm called Heavenly Witch?

This is by no means a mere overthinking by Luo Zu; there must be some deeper meaning behind it.

Moreover, the demon race always invades the land and interferes with the witch race's rule over the land. How could they not want to also try to get their hands on the sky and interfere in the affairs of the demon race?

It wouldn't be surprising if the Witch Clan were to attack Tianluozu one day.

Moreover, if the Wu tribe is going to cause trouble, it will definitely be a big one, unlike the Yao tribe which only makes small-scale moves, such as moving a large Wu village in the east, making trouble for a few Wu tribes in the west, or creating a Wu tribe vassal like Leize.

"Sir, have you thought of something that makes you happy?"

Toad Knock asked from the side.

He was hiding in the distance, afraid of getting tainted by the turbid earth energy refined by Luo Zu.

If he were in his complete form, he wouldn't be afraid of this unknown thing, but not now. He only has this empty shell that Luo Zu has sculpted for him.

He captured a wisp of his aura, then kneaded it. It contained only a wisp of his own magical power. When it encountered such a wisp of turbid energy, this weak clone was about to collapse on the spot.

So we should be careful and not take any big risks.

"There's no such thing as fear in cultivation, otherwise it'll all be for nothing in old age." Luo Zu gave him a disdainful look.

Koukou remained unmoved, only smiling obsequiously, "Master, I dare not compare myself to you. You can refine a mere wisp of evil energy into a treasure, but if I were to obtain it, I would only fall ill. I dare not, I dare not."

Luo Zu still despised him.

But I didn't say anything more like asking him to come and give it a try.

"Master, did you learn this method from the Witch Clan?" Kou Kou asked again.

"Yes, do you want to learn too?" Luo Zu asked in return.

"Forget it, I'll just stick to practicing demonic magic. Witchcraft is too unsuitable for me." Koukou scratched his head like peeling garlic.

"What's so special about the demon race's alchemy methods?" Luo Zu asked again, trying to probe indirectly.

He was about to tap the bamboo bar again.

He dared not refuse to knock. Over the years he had gotten used to it, and he had also talked a lot about the alchemy methods of the demon race, as well as their weapon-forging techniques.

But Luo Zu always felt that he was hiding something, so he would ask him questions here and there, without any reason.

Koukou wouldn't refuse to answer, so she shared a little trick of alchemy from the demon race: "We demons have a method for alchemy. We gather the winds from the east, west, south, and north and bring them into the alchemy furnace. Then we add the ingredients to the furnace and use the winds from the east, west, south, and north to repeatedly knead and grind them, finally destroying the impurities and leaving the essence, turning it into elixir. Then we use the winds from the east, west, south, and north to blow it, causing it to solidify and become pills."

"This method differs from the water and fire refining method. It uses wind to refine the elixir, which can remove dampness and dryness, and better reveal the natural properties of the elixir."

Luo Zu found it strange.

This little toad never disappoints him; there's always a surprise waiting for him.

It seems that sparing his life was actually a good decision.

He's better than Huang Liulang; he even erased so many memories before he died.

If Luo Zu hadn't acted quickly, he probably would have been able to erase all the memories from his mind.

"Not bad, not bad, but unfortunately I'm a rough person, and this is the only rough method I have." Luo Zu clapped his hands.

"..." What could Koko say? She wanted to praise him, but she didn't know where to begin.

Even if you don't praise him, be careful of Luo Zu's petty nature.

Then let's wait for Luo Zu to speak, find a suitable angle, and flatter him again.

Unfortunately, Luo Zu devoted himself entirely to alchemy after that and had no time to pay attention to him.

After Luo Zu, alchemy became simple. He simply tossed the alchemy furnace aside, then added a lot of materials, and also poured in the previously refined mercury-purifying liquid.

Finally, Wenwu mounted his horse and immediately burned all kinds of medicinal properties into the mercury-evil turbidity. In an instant, endless curse rays shot out at a speed visible to the divine eye, sprinkling on Luozu's body.

Luo Zu raised his hand, and a yellow sand pearl suddenly appeared in his hand. Then, with a turn of the pearl, he collected the curse rays.

The pearl then flashed twice with a bluish-purple light before gradually fading away.

Then Luo Zu clapped his hands again, and the pearl emitted a blue flame that landed on the alchemy furnace, making the ordinary-looking furnace, which contained a universe within, appear as if it were coated with a layer of indigo paint.

Hu Hu Hu.

With a few exhalations, he added three more layers of fire to the deep blue flames, causing the flames to blaze even brighter and the furnace to boil over.

dong dong.

Suddenly the fire gradually subsided, the boiling gas in the furnace also subsided, and then thirteen pills flew out from it.

Each of these pills was the size of a fist, its surface emitting a dangerous blue light, and it occasionally emitted a wisp or two of purple aura.

This thing doesn't look like a pill; it looks more like poison, with visible toxicity all over its surface.

Knock knocked and dodged, then kept a safe distance.

Luo Zu glanced at them only once before throwing them back into the alchemy furnace.

This is a top-grade Earthly Fiend Pill, but it is not the kind of pill that Ancestor Luo wanted to refine.

So we need to continue refining it.

Of course, Luo Zu did not intend to refine the Exquisite Hundred-Aperture Purple Gold Pill.

The elixir he was about to refine was based on the model of a hydrogen bomb.

I've never practiced this before, so I'm just trying it out today. If I succeed, great! If not, there's a prize for opening the lid so I can try again.

As the saying goes—failure is the mother of success!

Don't be discouraged.

Then it was neither fire-based nor wind-based refining, but water-based refining.

Moreover, the firewood used for alchemy this time is the top-grade Earthly Fiend Pill that Luo Zu has already refined.

This Earthly Fiend Supreme Pill is not only a material, but also firewood, making its refining process quite interesting.

Luo Zu exhaled softly, sending ladle after ladle of specially refined water into the alchemy furnace, and then adding nine top-grade Earthly Fiend Pills.

Bang!

A loud bang echoed through the mountains.

Koko was startled.

Then it was bang bang bang... without stopping.

Knock knocked, his heart pounding with fear. He fled a hundred miles away, hiding behind an old pine tree that had been struck by lightning.

But this is not the end.

The loud noise lasted for ten times before finally stopping.

Koko, who was hiding in the distance, then felt as if a small array of stars had been placed in front of him.

It wasn't a real formation, but its imposing and terrifying presence was just as impressive as it appeared.

He also realized that this feeling was coming from that alchemy furnace.

Moreover, this power is gradually increasing, and there is a possibility of it exploding at any moment.

Boom... Pfft.

The expected explosion did not occur; instead, a purple-gold pill was expelled from it.

It's only the size of a thumb.
