Chapter Seventy-One: Lotus Emerging from the Water

  Having chosen the material, Zhao Zhuo left the pagoda and sat cross-legged in a wooden house. The surroundings were sealed off by a simple prohibition set up by Zhao Zhuo, so external sounds could not penetrate inside, and there was no need to worry about being affected or distracted.

  In front of Zhao Zhuo were a piece of purple gold, a handful of stardust sand, and a piece of sky blue stone. These three things are all considered to be heavenly treasures. The purple gold and the sky blue stone, after being smelted together, serve as the main body of the alchemy furnace. As for the stardust sand, it is an indispensable material for refining the alchemy furnace cauldron. This stardust sand is used to set up arrays such as gathering spirit, controlling fire, and absorbing emptiness on the alchemy furnace.

  Regulating the internal Fa power to its optimal state, Zhao Xuan made a grasping motion in the void, and the purple gold and sky blue stone flew up at the same time. With the yuan dan inside his body stirring the dan fire, a faint dark red flame suddenly appeared floating in mid-air.

  The spark is not big, under the purple gold and sky blue stone, I don't know which year or month there will be hope to successfully melt the two.

  However, Zhao Zhuo was not in a hurry, because the spark was just an ignition for the Dan fire. If he wanted the Dan fire to become powerful, he needed to constantly provide spiritual power to strengthen it.

  If spark is the source of fire, then magic power is a bigger match or fuel for the spark.

  At the moment when Zhao Zhuo poured his magic into the spark, it suddenly became violently hot and scorching. Unprepared, Zhao Zhuo's eyebrows and hair almost got burned off.

  Zhao Zhuang saw the situation and hurriedly adjusted the output of the law force in his body. When the flames stabilized, Zhao Zhuang controlled the purple gold and sky blue stone to start smelting.

  Under the constant support of the source of law, the temperature of the flame was very stable. Gradually, the Zi Jin and Tian Qing stone began to melt. Some impurities were directly burned into black smoke by the Dan fire and disappeared. After a whole day's time, the Zi Jin melted into a purple ball, and the Tian Qing stone turned into a sky blue liquid. The two were clearly separated.

  With the initial refining work completed, Zhao Zhuo let out a slight sigh of relief, but still remained focused, stretching his hand towards the star dust sand in front of him. The twinkling star dust sand poured into the Zijin and Tianqing stones like a small galaxy, and at the same time, under the tempering of the Dan fire, the two slowly merged together.

  Zhao Zhuo's entire attention was focused on the intricate hand movements of the Ling Jue, as layer upon layer of formations burst forth before his eyes into a swirling mass of sky blue tinged with purple.

  Every stroke of the spiritual formula was accompanied by a flash of starlight, and it was clear that Zhao Zhuo was setting up various formations within.

  Although this was Zhao Zhuo's first attempt at refining equipment, the method he used was passed down from the ancient Qingye Dao Master, and his technique was extremely mysterious. With various spiritual incantations, Zhao Zhuo practiced with extreme familiarity, so there were no errors.

  Gradually, beads of sweat appeared on Zhao's forehead. After all, the best way to set up an array was with a clear mind and spirit. Generally, cultivators who had not reached the stage of solidifying their spirit found it difficult to refine magical artifacts on their own, and this was precisely the reason why.

  Plop, bean-sized sweat drops rolled down Zhao Zhuo's face. At this time, Zhao Zhuo had almost exhausted his mental energy, but the furnace in front of him was gradually taking shape, and it could be seen that he had already reached a very critical moment.

  The color of that furnace is sky blue, and the furnace body has been added by Zhao Zhuo with a kind of mysterious inscription, which looks very ancient.

  "Hold on, just a little longer!"

  Zhao Duo felt the emptiness within himself, and even the Dan fire gradually became unstable due to his depleted spiritual energy.

  Just as he was about to fail in refining the instrument, Zhao Zhuo immediately bit open the crystal lotus seed that had been held in his mouth for a long time. Suddenly, a pure and gentle power flowed through his body, and his magical powers were instantly replenished.

  "Hum!"

  A faint tremor emanated from the sky-blue furnace, and when the fully formed furnace slowly landed on the ground, Zhao Zhuo let out a breath.

  He succeeded, and for the first time, he successfully refined it himself, Zhao Zhuo's heart was filled with joyful expression.

  No matter what level of magic treasure was refined, at least his first attempt at refining equipment was successful, which made Zhao Zhuo forget about the severe loss of yuanqi, and he grabbed the ancient green furnace in front of him.

  The furnace was about a foot high, and the tripod had three legs. After all, Zhao Zhuo himself had never seen what kind of alchemy furnace existed in this world, so he made it according to his own imagination. Fortunately, he successfully refined it. Although the alchemy furnace is not too particular, the key lies in the various formations contained within the furnace, such as gathering spirits and forming elixirs. This is the key to the alchemy furnace. Who doesn't want their alchemy furnace to look better?

  Fondling the furnace in front of him with a look of infatuation, Zhao Zhuo's mouth curled up into a smile and said: "It seems that it's not bad, being able to refine a high-grade artifact-level dan furnace top on the first try. Who knows, maybe I'm actually a genius at refining equipment."

  If Bai Jingjing were to hear Zhao Cheng's self-satisfied words, I wonder if she would laugh at him. He didn't think about it himself, but the ancient refining technique he possessed was extremely valuable, whether it was the materials for refining equipment or various array techniques and formulas. If a true refining master had Zhao Cheng's conditions, who knows, maybe they could refine a spiritual-level treasure.

  Zhao Zhuo suddenly disappeared into the room and reappeared on the fourth floor of the treasure tower.

  Endless heaven and earth, the thick primordial energy condensed into a **, Zhao Zhuo's body fell onto the small island, facing the glazed lotus flowers in the pond to quietly recover his primordial energy.

  It must be said that the rich heaven and earth yuanqi is quite important for cultivators. If it were outside, Zhao Zhuo would need at least a few hours to recover his yuanqi, but here, he was able to fully recover the consumed yuanqi in less than half an hour, and even the law power inside his body was full and overflowing.

  When he reappeared in the outside world, it was already dark, with only the stars twinkling in the sky. The residence of the white heron was a black patch on one side, without a single ray of light.

  Zhao Duo couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Strange, the sky has just turned dark, White Orchid shouldn't be resting so early, should she?"

  He relaxed his mind, but found that there was no aura of Bai Jingjing in the room. Zhao Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. With a flash of movement, he disappeared from where he stood.

  In the clear lake, the night color is dim, and a faint mist floats on the surface of the lake. A rustling sound of water comes, and in the misty distance, a white and delicate body appears and disappears.

  The white lily pads are completely relaxed in the soaking of the clear spring water, I don't know how long it has been since I had such a relaxing bath.

  At that time on the deserted island, even if there were conditions for bathing, it was just a quick rinse and not daring to relax completely like now.

  Splashing clear water on the body, the cool and transparent water droplets roll down the crystal-smooth skin, making a faint sound.

  The white lotus flower is like a fairy in the water, with dew drops rolling on its originally delicate face, and its perfect figure appears and disappears in the water.

  Suddenly, Bai Jingjing furrowed her brow, as if she had sensed something. Her face changed slightly, and her body shot out of the water with a loud splash. Her slender limbs glistened with dew, and her exquisite jade-like body vanished in the blink of an eye. By the time Bai Jingjing reappeared, she was already dressed in a robe.

  But a gust of wind blew by, and the thin clothes were stuck to the convex and concave jade body of the white lotus, which was quite charming.

  Zhao Duo's figure appeared by the small lake, just in time to see Bai Jing standing there. Looking at Bai Jing's wet and shiny black hair, Zhao Duo couldn't help but sigh. A water lily emerging from the water, what a beautiful scene, yet it was so carelessly missed by himself.

  Bai Jing's eyes looked at Zhao Shuo with a strange gaze, and the clear eyes made Zhao Shuo feel somewhat unnatural. He lightly coughed and said: "Oh, Jing, I didn't know you were here, I thought you went somewhere else."

  "What's wrong with you guys? Haven't collected it yet? That's so uncool! Collect and vote!"
