Chapter 1697
After jumping three times like this, the Clanging Dragon Battle Armor's desire for the Emperor's Flowing Pulp gradually decreased, and the speed at which it swallowed the spiritual pulp slowed down. It was like a starving person wolfing down food at first, and only after padding their stomach did they have the leisure to chew slowly.
He He Lingchuan didn't want to favor one over the other, so he simply took out the Floating Life Saber and soaked it in the spiritual pulp.
With two divine objects eating together, the full vat of Emperor's Flowing Pulp was not enough again.
One after another, golden symbols floated on the surface of the Clanging Dragon Armor, but they broke before they could take shape. He He Lingchuan could tell that it was trying very hard to set these symbols, but unfortunately, it didn't succeed.
He had also studied talismans in the Panlong world and could see that some of these symbols were in the Immortal language, while others were in the Heavenly Demon language; he didn't know what the specific content was.
It didn't matter; he patted the battle armor, there was plenty of time, and the Emperor's Flowing Pulp falling from the sky had just begun.
When he picked up the Floating Life Saber, this treasure was even more in tune with him, directly sending him a signal: it could still be refined, it could still become stronger!
And on the scene, the busiest one at this time was Ling Guang.
The freshest Emperor's Flowing Pulp has a time limit; if it is not eaten or refined into spiritual medicine within twenty-four hours, its efficacy will be wasted.
More than two months ago, Ling Guang and Dong Rui set out to study this topic and came up with seven or eight plans. The solution they finally discussed was that when Dong Rui returned to the Screaming Forest last time, he brought back the alchemy furnace from the Ghost King's Underground Palace! The original owner of the underground palace, True Person Minghui, liked to use a giant tripod called the "Qiong Stone Alchemy Furnace" to refine pills. When He He Lingchuan explored the underground palace, he also discovered this giant tripod and thought it had been damaged by evil spirits. However, after Dong Rui entered and exited the underground palace several times, he discovered that there were still pills left in the inner furnace.
It was probably that the medicine had just been refined, and True Person Minghui had just lifted the lid when the Heavenly Demons killed their way into the underground palace. True Person Minghui was busy fighting and had no time to open the inner furnace, so the pills had been stewing in the furnace ever since.
The Qiong Stone Alchemy Furnace was also called the Pei Yuan Pill Tripod, which could "nurture" pills. After Dong Rui's appraisal, this kind of pill was called the Su Tai Pill, refined from the eggs of immortal beasts and the embryos of Heavenly Demons, containing powerful innate spiritual energy.
Originally, as soon as the furnace was opened, half of the medicinal effect would run away, but this was unavoidable. This time, the inner lid of the pill tripod remained sealed, and the spiritual energy had nowhere to escape, so it had been accumulating in the tripod.
Later, geological changes occurred, and evil spirits emerged from the ground, soaking True Person Minghui's cave dwelling. The pill tripod could not escape being wrapped in evil spirits, but the innate spiritual energy inside the tripod had been slowly releasing.
This tripod also had spirituality; in order to preserve itself, it instinctively began to refine spiritual pills and resist the evil spirits.
Fortunately, it was not a living thing, and the amount of spiritual energy it consumed was very small, so it actually persisted in the underground palace for three thousand years.
When Dong Rui found it, there were only two spiritual pills left in the tripod. As soon as he lifted the lid, a faint green aura swirled away, and the efficacy of the spiritual pills was almost gone.
Even Dong Rui didn't dare to touch these aged pills, fearing that eating them would mean going to see his great-grandmother. But the pill tripod could still be used after maintenance and re-consecration.
It is worth mentioning that the things True Person Minghui threw into the garbage dump of the Ghost King's Underground Palace were often not ordinary. As long as you have a discerning eye, you can still turn waste into treasure by picking and choosing. Dong Rui picked out twenty-seven or twenty-eight more furnaces from it and gave them to the Songyang Mansion to wash and re-consecrate. He managed to rescue four or five of them; the fancy effects were gone, but they were still barely acceptable for refining pills, and he didn't know how many peers True Person Minghui had robbed back then.
Before Dong Rui left the Yao Nation, he left all of these to He He Lingchuan.
And in order to cope with the Emperor's Flowing Pulp, He He Lingchuan began preparations in Tianshui City. Alchemy furnaces were expensive, and they became more expensive as the outbreak of the Emperor's Flowing Pulp approached, but He He Lingchuan had plenty of money.
He sent people to purchase alchemy furnaces from weapon shops, ghost markets, and private craftsmen, and the civil and military officials of the Yao Nation also vied to send him gifts, among which there was no shortage of such items. Therefore, He He Lingchuan had prepared as many as one hundred and eighty-seven high-quality alchemy furnaces for this Emperor's Flowing Pulp! So starting tonight, everyone would have a set of alchemy furnaces, running at full power, refining pills twelve hours a day without stopping.
This was when the usefulness of the immortal alchemy tripod became apparent.
This Qiong Stone Alchemy Furnace was one zhang tall and had a sturdy figure, but its volume was more astonishing than it looked from the outside. On the day of the Emperor's Flowing Pulp torrential rain, it was placed under the tornado and collected for three hours without filling its inner chamber! After Ling Guang checked, he found that this guy was stealing food! As a treasure of an ancient immortal, the Qiong Stone Alchemy Furnace had an astonishing appetite. It had been hungry and thirsty in the Ghost King's Underground Palace for three thousand years. Although Dong Rui and the Songyang Mansion had repaired it, they had never been able to let it eat and drink to its heart's content in the current spiritual energy environment.
Having finally caught such a good opportunity to binge eat today, it couldn't help but follow the Soul-Absorbing Mirror's example and start sucking in the storm without a word?
He He Lingchuan was not angry but happy, wishing it would eat as much as it wanted.
A workman must sharpen his tools if he is to do his work well. This giant tripod had to be full first before it had the strength to work for him.
Anyway, there was plenty of Emperor's Flowing Pulp.
Sure enough, after binge eating for three hours, this ancient relic was finally full and began to work.
Everyone had always thought it was a dark gray stone tripod, but as soon as it began to refine pills, it revealed its true form, turning into a large crimson tripod.
The bird and beast patterns and runes engraved on the tripod floated out of thin air and circled the tripod in a circular motion.
Ling Guang's monkey eyes were wet, and he pointed out to He He Lingchuan that the bird and beast patterns lit up in sequence, corresponding to the different stages of refining pills inside the tripod.
This tripod could also refine pills while adding ingredients.
An interesting scene occurred: the fuel driving it was the Emperor's Flowing Pulp, and the main ingredient for refining pills inside the tripod was also the Emperor's Flowing Pulp.
Through this furnace, the Emperor's Flowing Pulp perfectly refined itself.
This immortal treasure tripod was truly different; it consumed a massive amount of spiritual energy every time it opened the furnace, but it ran basically fully automatically, without needing the pharmacist to worry too much, and the quality and quantity of pills refined in each furnace were quite astonishing.
This night, the Emperor's Flowing Pulp collected by the two tornadoes could not keep it busy, and the Qiong Stone Alchemy Tripod only refined six furnaces of pills in total, but the success rate was extremely high, and the quantity was huge.
Two of the furnaces were large pills, totaling thirty-six; two were medium pills, totaling three hundred and sixty; and the last two were small pills, totaling one thousand eight hundred.
Through the research of Dong Rui and Ling Guang over the past few years, combined with the pill formulas He He Lingchuan brought out from the Panlong world, the Yangshan forces had made new breakthroughs in the use of the Emperor's Flowing Pulp, coming up with more than twenty new formulas.
The one with the strongest efficacy was the "Heaven-Made Pill," of which there were only thirty-six tonight, the smallest quantity! This item will be discussed later.
The Qiong Stone Alchemy Tripod undertook the main task of refining pills, and everyone tried their best to pour the collected spiritual pulp into the giant tripod. But Ling Guang was still overwhelmed, because the Black Armor Army also had to take care of guarding the array to avoid having the pulp stolen.
