Chapter 373: Refining Cloud Bag to Get Fire-Washing Cloth, Melting Metals to Make Treasure Carving Car
Gu Qingyuan took out the Nine-Transformation Golden Pill and put it into the gourd that stored the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife. Although the gourd was made of spiritual plants from the back mountain, he had refined it again in recent months, put several layers of restrictions into it, opened up a small space, and turned it into a mustard seed-sized treasure. It also had the function of nourishing magic weapons, sealing up spiritual power, and preventing the leakage of vital energy.
After removing the sundries, poison pills and spiritual pills, the only gifts from nature left were a pile of spiritual materials and hardware, mostly ordinary iron, and there was not much magical iron essence. It seemed that Song Xiaochan was not rich, as she had stuffed all her fortune into the Five Cloud Bag.
Gu Qingyuan hooked his hand and took the Five Clouds Bag. It felt warm and smooth to the touch. "What a waste of talent! A magical weapon that nourishes and contains fire was turned into a foul-smelling magic weapon by Song Xiaochan. What a waste of a good fire-washing cloth."
Song Xiaochan was not some important figure, and no one knew where she had pieced together all her skills, let alone such a high-tech job as refining equipment. She had no top-notch methods, and no resources to practice. She could only refine equipment haphazardly, mostly using evil methods, resurrecting souls, and blood sacrifices. How could she create a pure treasure?
Gu Qingyuan threw the Wuyun bag into the furnace with a casual throw. The flame ignited and burned away the poisonous gas and barrier gas inside. He also took out the poisonous fire of the earth lung hidden inside and held it in his hand.
The poisonous fire of the earth's lungs is collected from dangerous places such as the center of the earth and the craters of active volcanoes. There, countless years of chronic illness are accumulated and transformed into fire fertilizer. Once ignited, it will not go out for a long time, either climbing up the mountains or covering the ground, like magma. It can change the climate of an area and create a flame scene. It can be called fire in the earth.
Song Xiaochan got a wisp of poisonous fire from the earth lungs from somewhere and mixed it into the flame of the Five Cloud Bag, fueling the fire and greatly increasing its power. Gu Qingyuan used the furnace to wash away the other ordinary flames, leaving only this trace of true fire.
The poisonous fire in the lungs of the earth is limp in shape, flowing slowly. It is burnt in color and has an earthy smell. This is only a trace. If more of it gathers, it will be like the magma underground and the mudslides on the mountains, flooding the entire ground in an instant.
"Not bad, not bad. Song Xiaochan's job as a treasure-delivering boy was not in vain. With this poisonous fire, I will collect a few more kinds of true fire and refine the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan. With one fan, anyone will be reduced to ashes."
Gu Qingyuan looked at the poisonous fire and sent out a trace of his fire power to nourish the poisonous fire. He then put it into the magic gourd to nourish it, waiting to start refining the weapon in the future.
In the furnace, the Five Cloud Bag had lost its shape. After the dregs were washed away, only a piece of fire-washing cloth remained on the flames, which was now glowing red. The fire was burning, but it did not decay at all. Instead, it enhanced its power.
Gu Qingyuan had no idea about the substitute foot weapon. If he used the art of transformation of heaven and earth to transform the materials, he would owe more karma to heaven and earth. He was in the growth stage and had just provoked the Buddha of the West. It would be better for him to keep a low profile and refine the precious materials at hand, and then make up for it when he had more money in the future.
After pondering for a moment, he came up with an idea. This means of transportation did not require any offensive techniques. It just had to be strong enough to withstand the cold wind and thunder from the sky. He also did not want the flying sword or flying knife model, which looked shabby and had to resist the airflow and protect the body while flying in the air, which was very embarrassing.
After thinking it over, Gu Qingyuan took out a pen and paper and scribbled something to finalize the blueprint. He then put all the iron and gold into the furnace and turned the elixir refining into weapon refining.
The hardware was put into the furnace and turned into pools of molten iron. If the iron is not burned, hundreds of tons of iron would not produce more than a few kilograms of iron essence. Gu Qingyuan took out the remaining spiritual materials and put them in.
Song Xiaochan's only possessions are a few pieces of spiritual iron, a fire-element metal called the Earth Fire Essence, weighing three pounds and five ounces, which should have been opened together with the poisonous fire, and two pieces of thousand-year-old purple gold, which are slightly inferior in quality to the Earth Fire Essence. Apart from these, there is nothing else.
These three pieces of metal are solid and slow to calcine. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Qingyuan began to build up his wealth. He naturally couldn't rely on his family's wealth to refine treasures, and he had to buy more items. He originally wanted to refine a large boat that would not be blown by the wind or hit by the rain, could be used for sitting and lying, and looked very impressive. However, due to insufficient funds, he could only downgrade a few levels and make a car frame.
If he didn't replenish the precious materials, with Song Xiaochan's wealth alone, he might not be able to even refine a wheel. It was already unfair enough for Gu Qingyuan to be replaced by the golden ship as the imperial carriage. Could he be asked to drive the wheel to go out? If so, he would rather practice in the mountains.
With a wave of his sleeves, he practiced diligently every day, sitting facing the sun, absorbing qi and clouds. After half a year of hard work, Gu Qingyuan shook out the Great Sun Fire Essence that he had accumulated. He had the Great Sun True Fire, and absorbing this fire essence was the most effective. Two taels today, half a catty tomorrow, and he had accumulated quite a fortune.
The magic power swept across, and a mountain of Great Sun Fire Essence was thrown into the furnace, allowing it to be forged by the Great Sun True Fire of the same origin. If the cultivators from the outside world saw this, they would definitely beat their chests and stamp their feet, cursing that the person was wasting heaven's gift and was unfilial.
It is easy to obtain and not considered rare, but to other cultivators, the Great Sun Fire Essence is truly a treasure of heaven and earth. When they refine weapons, they use other metals as the main materials, and then add a few taels of Fire Essence to enhance the quality of the magic weapon. Even if ordinary iron is randomly refined, with the addition of Fire Essence, it can become a magic weapon that can avoid or resist fire. They are not like Gu Qingyuan who throws in hundreds of pounds. They all configure it by ounce and by money!
Without the Great Sun True Fire, it would be extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to draw out the Sun Essence, and they would not be able to collect much Great Sun Fire Essence. They would have to sit still for several years, collecting a strand today, a wisp tomorrow, and working hard to get a little bit. Don’t you see that monk Qiuzhen, who was close to being an immortal, was willing to do a favor after receiving a few pounds of fire essence.
Money is easy to give, but favors are hard to repay, especially in this world where cause and effect are intertwined. If you owe someone a favor, when you are in trouble in the future, you will rush to help when they ask you for help, and will be willing to go through fire and water with them.
Gu Qingyuan pinched his fingers and chanted an incantation, and the prohibition was placed into the furnace. The fire essence turned into a pool of golden liquid. This pure substance did not have many impurities and did not require excessive calcination. He pulled the iron essence, the earth fire essence and the thousand-year capital into the golden liquid to merge. Several pools of molten iron were instantly swallowed up by the golden liquid and became one.
The golden liquid kept rolling, dancing in the flames, and began to take shape. Gu Qingyuan also filled in restrictions as the refining process progressed, mostly protecting and defending formations, multitasking as he adjusted the shape of the golden liquid.
This kind of refining is not as troublesome as the Flying Sword that Beheads the Immortals. One is the refining of an instrument, the other is the refining of Qi, each has its own merits. When the moonlight fades and the east turns white, it is almost finished.
As the last restriction was put in, Gu Qingyuan spewed out fire magic power and injected it into it, cleansing and soaking the magic weapon. As the first ray of sunlight penetrated into the room, the magic weapon was completed.
The furnace of heaven and earth was led away, and the true fire was taken back. In front of Gu Qingyuan, there stood a canopied carriage. A fire-proof cloth was covered on the golden compartment. It had the ability to shield spiritual consciousness, detect, and resist magical powers, and was especially good at resisting the erosion of fire.
The golden carriage is engraved with dragon and phoenix seals, and there are auspicious cloud and flowing water patterns on both sides. The dragon and phoenix are auspicious and can ride the wind and gallop. There are also two golden bells hanging on the side of the carriage. The two half-person-high wheels are inlaid with gold edges and inlaid with purple patterns. They are purple gold carvings, and they are two balls of golden flames when running.
A piece of earth fire spirit became the axle, and the fire spirit formed the frame, which was extremely solid. If it could be activated, it would be several times faster than the cloud-climbing method, as fast as the wind. Especially in the daytime, the fire spirit absorbed the yang energy of the sun and the earth, which could save a lot of mana loss.
The car body exudes a faint fragrance and is carved with dark patterns of golden flame flowers. It is the clear fragrance of the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the blazing flame of the sun, which is most suitable for removing turbidity and practicing.
Gu Qingyuan clapped his hands: "Excellent! This Golden Throne Carving Wheel is finally done!"
