Chapter 248

After withdrawing his thoughts from the wooden man, he walked out of the school, preparing to try making corpse oil candles.

The relevant materials and tools for making corpse oil candles were placed by him in a stone room located in the forging workshop.

Compared to the ordinary tools and materials Li Yanbing got for him, the quality of those special candle-making tools obtained from the Gui market was obviously much better.

"There is still quite a lot of corpse oil in this black pot. It should be completely enough to make hundreds of corpse oil candles, but after using it up, I must start collecting corpses myself to refine corpse oil..."

Arriving in this stone room, Lin Feng began to check the remaining raw materials. The key to making corpse oil candles was the corpse oil refined and the special candle wick.

After checking these things, Lin Feng could be considered to have a count in his heart of how many more corpse oil candles could be made with the remaining raw materials.

Confirming that there were no omissions, Lin Feng began to directly arrange for the Zhiren to renovate this stone room.

"Crack, crack"

The process of making corpse oil candles was similar to making Gui soldiers. Lin Feng didn't want to do it one by one, but after setting the specific process, he handed it to the Zhiren to complete.

Using Gui iron and Black Steel Stone to build a stove, and then setting up a black pot, the place specifically for refining corpse oil could be considered complete.

"Boom~"

As the stove began to rise with Gui fire, the black pot that Lin Feng snatched from the candle shop gradually began to become scorching hot.

A large amount of corpse oil in the black pot began to roll continuously under the burning of the Gui fire, and emitted a foul, greasy smell.

This black pot itself was a special Gui soldier. Not only did it possess a relatively large space inside, but it also had a great suppression effect on ordinary Guiyi or Gui-drivers.

Basically, you only need to throw the Guiyi or Gui-driver into the black pot, and then you can forcibly refine corpse oil under the effect of the Gui fire.

Of course, whether it was a Guiyi or a Gui-driver, they would essentially struggle, so the best way was to dismember them before throwing them into the black pot!

So Lin Feng also obtained a bone-chopping knife and quite a few iron hooks from that candle shop. Through these special tools, he could forcibly dismember Guiyi and cut off the parts he needed to refine corpse oil.

In addition, there were some molds for making candles and special things, the most critical of which was a ball of fine thread like hair.

According to the legacy Lin Feng obtained, this fine thread was not an ordinary fine thread, but a spiritual ignorance hair strand extracted from a living person's body.

Essentially, it was a type of hair that fused the seven emotions and six desires of ordinary people, but this was the key material for making corpse oil candles and also the raw material for the candle wick.

The number of these fine threads was not large. Lin Feng counted carefully and found there were only about one hundred and thirty-odd strands.

This number was basically the same as the amount of remaining corpse oil. That candle shop owner probably calculated it carefully before collecting it, but now it all cheapened Lin Feng.

"Spiritual ignorance hair strands, it is not easy to collect this thing through normal means. On the contrary, the living sacrifice of the incense temple can harvest quite a lot at once."

Looking at these special hair strands, Lin Feng couldn't help but associate them with the sacrificial activities of those ancestors of the incense temple to harvest spiritual ignorance.

"Next, I'm afraid I will need a large amount of this thing, so wouldn't it be more convenient to just snatch it from the hands of those ancestors of the incense temple?"

Lin Feng would never be polite to the people of the incense temple. Anyway, both sides were mortal enemies, and snatching them had no psychological burden for Lin Feng.

"According to the current raw materials, it should be able to produce about ten corpse oil candles every day, and all the remaining raw materials will be used up in about ten days or so."

"The source of corpse oil is easy. Whether it is Guiyi or Gui-drivers, I can get it directly. The key is the acquisition of spiritual ignorance hair strands!"

Although he had made up his mind to continue robbing those ancestors of the incense temple next, that was not a long-term plan after all, so Lin Feng couldn't help but think about whether there were other stable ways to obtain them.

However, the production of spiritual ignorance hair strands must require living people to be obtained. Although it looked relatively cruel, Lin Feng also had corresponding targets.

"The Barbarian side is not peaceful. Next time, perhaps I should catch some living Barbarian soldiers. Anyway, even if I don't use them to make spiritual ignorance hair strands, they will be killed. Just treat it as waste utilization!"

Lin Feng didn't have much sympathy for the Barbarian soldiers, not to mention the burning, killing, and looting they did in the north, even within their tribes, they often held living sacrifices...

"With my current situation, I only need to make white candles and red candles. As for black candles, the requirements for materials are too high, and the use of making them is not as great as I imagined for me."

As Lin Feng arranged this workshop for making corpse oil candles properly, soon the Zhiren were busy in it according to the process set by Lin Feng.

The dozen or so small Gui released by Lin Feng were directly dismembered and cut into small pieces by the Zhiren using that sharp knife, removing bones, hair, clothes, and other debris, and then the remaining corpse pieces were thrown into the black pot for refining.

The whole process of refining corpse oil looked like a slaughterhouse specifically built for slaughtering Guiyi.

Such a bloody and terrifying scene made the entire corpse oil candle workshop look like a human hell, but at this time, what was being slaughtered like livestock was Guiyi. Even if this scene was bloody, Lin Feng would not have the slightest wavering.

Now Lin Feng was already accustomed to this behavior of skinning and dismantling Guiyi, because some of the legacies of the Thousand Craftsmen were evil enough themselves.

For example, skin-crafting craftsmen need to peel off the skin of Guiyi to make clothes or drum membranes, Gui iron craftsmen need to dismember Guiyi as sacrifices, and Ghost Masons need to take Gui blood as raw materials, etc.

"Boom~ gulu-lulu~"

As the Gui fire in the stove continued to burn, the corpse oil in the black pot also began to roll violently, and the Guiyi corpse pieces thrown into the black pot gradually refined a part of the corpse oil in this process.

After the Guiyi corpse pieces were refined of all corpse oil, the first step could be considered finished, and then it was the preparation process before the second step of making candles.

Before the corpse oil in the black pot cooled down, it needed to be taken out and left to settle, completely removing the impurities and filth inside, eventually obtaining relatively pure corpse oil.

After this corpse oil was mixed with Gui blood, it could be used to make red candles, which was also the simplest production method for corpse oil candles.

And to make white candles, it also required several extra steps to specially treat the corpse oil before white candles could be obtained.

As for the materials used for black candles, they were actually not just corpse oil. It also required special treatment of the bones, hair, and other parts separated from the Guiyi before.

Eventually, these things turned into powder after repeated grinding and calcining, and then mixed with corpse oil to form black candles that looked black.

The biggest characteristic of this kind of black candle was that it would produce various Guiyi effects after being lit, and using it felt somewhat similar to controlling Guiyi.

It was just that compared to the risks borne by personally controlling Guiyi, using black candles did not have much impact on the user themselves, and top-quality black candles could play an extremely important role at critical moments.

Looking at the corpse oil candles in the molds in the workshop gradually beginning to congeal and take shape under the processing of the Zhiren, Lin Feng also felt relieved.

Next, this place only needed to be handed over to the Zhiren to continuously produce corpse oil candles, and he only needed to ensure that the supply of raw materials was sufficient!

In the future, with a sufficient supply of corpse oil candles, the intelligence of the Guiyi in his hand would be greatly improved!
