Chapter 250 Crisis Comes to Bone Pill Furnace
After getting the teaching of Taoism and getting advice from the ghosts and gods surnamed Du, Yu Lie returned to the room and immediately began the intense alchemy furnace refining.

At the same time, he also took out most of the unused property in his hand and put it in the lobby for trading. He even would rather suffer a little loss than exchange it for materials that are scarce in this world but are very important to Taoists .

In this way, Yu Lie prepared while participating in the method of refining, and lived a very regular life.

It lasted for a long time, and two months passed, and the situation in the dark fort was fine. Yu Lie began to wonder if he had misunderstood the implication of the ghost and god named Du.

this day.

Yu Lie got a message from the soul-guarding girl under his command, and after being warmed up in the elixir room for a long time, he stepped out of the room again and walked into the lobby, intending to throw away the elixir that he had refined these days.

But as soon as he went out today, he keenly noticed that the atmosphere in the bunker had changed slightly and forward.

As an aborigine, the soul-hunting girl couldn't understand the language of the mountain and sea world, so she couldn't feel anything. Yu Lie walked to her booth and asked a Taoist who was selling charms next to her.

He whispered: "Old Deng, how's the business going recently? Has there been another accident in the dark fort?"

The Taoist peddling the charms was surnamed Deng and his name was Luogu. He was in his twenties and thirties, of medium stature, but he had an old face. He looked about 40 years old. His hair was still thin, and he looked rather unkempt.

Although this person is a member of the Talisman Dao, he belongs to the turbid current in the Talisman Dao, and he is a Talisman Dao that relies on foreign objects to advance. Otherwise, the other party would not have come to participate in this survival assessment.

Yu Lie is a member of the Dao of Alchemy, and Deng Luogu is a member of the Dao of Fu. They are both craftsmen. They have met each other since the first month of the assessment. Recently, they have become neighbors at the booth, so the relationship is still tight. good.

Moreover, Deng Luogu's personality is a bit petty, but compared with other cold-hearted Taoists, he is much better. Therefore, Yu Lie is also happy to communicate with each other on weekdays, and even took the initiative to send him a few Pills.

Seeing Yu Lie approaching, the other party turned his head and glanced left and right, then quickly lowered his voice and said:

"You Daoist Yu has sharp eyes. If you don't go out for a few days, you will notice something is wrong as soon as you go out. There is indeed something happening in the dark castle, but it is not inside the dark castle, but outside.

I heard that the death and injury rate of the Taoists who went out to hunt recently has doubled, and the undead creatures outside seem to have gone crazy, and their ferocity has greatly increased..."

After carefully listening to Deng Luogu's narration, Yu Lie felt alert.

In the past, Taoists, as people in the immortal way, had many methods and all of them had mana, which was equivalent to the undead in this world. When walking in the wild, few indigenous creatures dared to provoke them.Only Taoists provoke other existences, and very few other existences provoke Taoists.

But now, according to what Deng Luogu said, the aborigines seem to have a big change in temperament, and they have begun to actively hunt and kill Taoists! ?

Yu Lie frowned and thought, "Old Deng, are you serious about what you said, do you have evidence?"

Hearing Yu Lie's doubts, Deng Luogu snorted. He sat cross-legged on his booth, folded his hands on his chest, and muttered, "Believe it or not."

This person has such a personality, if he doesn't see that he has a good relationship with Yu Lie, he might not even bother to say a word.

Yu Lie couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and quickly cupped his hands and said, "Yu is being abrupt. Today, I just made a batch of blood pills. It's just out of the oven. Lao Deng, please help me to taste it and appreciate it."

While talking, he threw a black and red pill towards Deng Luogu.

Deng Luogu, who had a sullen face and didn't bother to pay attention to Yu Lie, opened his eyes again in an instant, caught it, and said: "Hey, you Daoist Yu's craftsmanship is obvious to all of us, thank you."

In the lobby, the two continued to exchange greetings without lowering their voices.

In fact, even if the voice is lowered, as long as the passing Taoists want to hear it, they can still hear it.

Among them was a skinny Taoist who carried bloody materials on his back and wandered in the lobby. He seemed to have noticed the conversation between the two of Yu Lie. The other party listened carefully for a while, and then walked over.

This person walked up to Yu Lie, and the exchange of pleasantries between Yu Lie and Deng Luogu came to an abrupt end.

Deng Luogu saw the other party, raised his eyebrows, gave Yu Lie a look, then retreated to his booth, the old god was meditating.

Only the other party's voice transmission still rang in Yu Lie's ears: "This guy is a ruthless character, his ass is not clean, you can take it easy, fellow Daoist Yu."

Yu Lie heard it, but only nodded, indicating that he understood.

He didn't reject the Taoist who came over, instead he stood up and cupped his hands towards him: "I've met fellow Daoist Zhuang, what do you like?"

The Taoist who walked over was none other than the thin Taoist Zhuang Chong who had met Yu Lie several times before, became Fangmen's follower, and managed to escape from birth.

When this person returned to the dark castle, it was as expected, because only the other person returned, which aroused the suspicion of the disciples in the dark castle.

Especially when the ghosts and gods released the task of collecting the corpses and confirmed that Fangmen and Fangmen were dead, the monks in the dark castle suspected that Zhuang Chong had killed Fangmen and others in the outer pit.

After all, many people knew about Fangmen's purchase of medicines in the dark fort, and they were all envious of Fangmen's wealth.Therefore, no matter how Zhuang Chong explained, he still couldn't get rid of his doubts.

Even if some people believed that the three of them had an accident outside and that Zhuang Chong was innocent, the Fang family behind the Fangmen was not easy to provoke, and many people chose to keep a distance from Zhuang Chong.

In this way, Zhuang Chong managed to escape back to the dark castle, but he was isolated and excluded by most of the Taoists.Although no fool jumped out to take the initiative to avenge Fangmen, Zhuang Chong's life was still difficult. There were problems in his usual transactions and team formation, and he became a complete lone wolf.

Seeing Yu Lie standing up and cupping his hands, Zhuang Chong hurriedly returned the salute: "I've seen fellow Daoist Yu."

After a pause, Zhuang Chong said: "To tell you the truth, fellow daoist Yu, Mr. Zhuang went out this trip to see some things, or to know something about the changes in the outside world, but I don't know if fellow daoist Yu is willing to believe it."

"Huh?" Yu Lie became interested, with a smile on his face, and nodded immediately: "Friend Zhuang Dao, please tell me!"

Seeing that Yu Lie was willing to listen, Zhuang Chong didn't have any choice, and immediately sent a voice transmission:
"After several months of adaptation, the creatures in this world have become familiar with the true qi of our Taoists, and are no longer as afraid as before. Some creatures even learned to inhale the true qi. To be honest, when Pindao came back, he met him in the outside world. A gigantic monster, not a giant, nor a giant beast, but a strange patchwork of flesh and blood, terrifying and terrifying..."

A detailed explanation was spoken from the other party's mouth, causing Yu Lie to narrow his eyes slightly.

Finally, Zhuang Chong said affirmatively: "The rumors in the market are definitely not false! The creatures in this world have already begun to consciously hunt and kill us. Please make preparations early, Fellow Daoist Yu."

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Chong stood still and watched Yu Lie's reaction.

After Yu Lie listened to the other party's narration, combined with the previous points made by the ghost named Du, he actually believed it eight or nine points in his heart.

He nodded seriously: "Thank you, brother Zhuang."

The other party had already said all they had to say, and Yu Lie had nothing to question, so he changed the subject, pointed at the material on the other party's body, and said with a smile:

"Brother Zhuang intends to sell the bones? I wonder how much it will cost?"

Zhuang Chong saw that Yu Lie had listened to his own words, and his sense of Yu Lie had improved a lot in his heart. Seeing Yu Lie asking the price in such a polite way, his numb expression faded, and he showed a few stiff smiles.

Zhuang Chong said somewhat cautiously: "Brother Yu is a kind person, you can just ask for the price. You don't need spirit stones or merit talisman money, just exchange for the elixir refined by Brother Yu."

"That's the same as before?" Yu Lie nodded.

"Yes, half of those who assist in cultivation and half of those who increase Qi and blood."

In the lobby, Yu Lie took the bones and flesh from the opponent's back, tapped it, weighed it after tapping, and took out two small medicine bottles with familiarity, filled ten of them each, and handed them to the opponent.

Zhuang Chong watched Yu Lie administer the drug, his eyelids twitched, he held it in his hand, and hesitated for a while: "This, fellow daoist, did you give too much?"

Yu Lie replied with a smile: "Are there many? Not many."

After a pause, Yu Lie casually mentioned: "At the beginning of the assessment, I had a relationship with brother Zhuang and his son. Since there is a fate, brother Zhuang told me so kindly, and the few extra ones will be taken as a gift." It’s about making friends.”

Zhuang Chong's face was just reserved at first, he was embarrassed to accept Yu Lie's kindness, and worried that he would give Yu Lie a calculating impression.As a result, I heard Yu Lie say something like this, especially the word "father and son" was mentioned in the words.

In an instant, the rough experiences of the past few months rolled in Zhuang Chong's mind.

The other party held the medicine bottle and saluted Yu Lie seriously:
"Thank you! I wish brother Yu a smooth exam."

Finally, Zhuang Chong took a few glances at Yu Lie, as if he had clearly remembered Yu Lie's appearance before leaving.

The other party's actions made Yu Lie a little uncomfortable, wondering if he had done too much, which aroused the other party's suspicion.

It is said that when other Taoists were a little bit ostracized by Zhuang Chong, because Yu Lie knew the inside story and thought that the other party was innocent, he was different from the other Taoists. It's not friendly, it's just a fair deal, and all comers are welcome.

Now that he saw the other party kindly reminding himself, he sent such kindness, but it seemed that he had gained the other party's deep gratitude in the end.

Yu Lie thought about it, and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he suppressed these thoughts.

Immediately afterwards, he sat cross-legged on the booth and hung out the elixir in his hand. Whenever a Taoist came to ask about the elixir, he would take the opportunity to chat with the other party and ask about things inside and outside the dark castle.

After less than a day's work, Yu Lie quickly processed the elixir in his hand, left a few words for the soul-detaining girl, and rushed back to the room.

In the lobby, the inconspicuous soul-clamping girl next to her looked away after Yu Lie's figure had completely left.

The flames in her eyes danced and immediately dimmed a lot.

But the soul-detaining girl didn't do anything extra, she just squatted obediently in the lobby, with her hands on her knees, continued to look at the strangers in the hall, listened to the obscure language in the hall, and waited for some Taoist disciples to come. Get a chance to send a message to Yu Lie.

....................................

the other side.

Yu Lie returned to the alchemy room, thinking about what he had learned about leaving the customs today, and after sorting it out, he decided secretly:

"It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, or it is impossible to stay for a long time!"

According to what he learned, he can now be sure that the creatures in the ferocious dragon court world have undergone adaptive changes to the Taoists, and they can gain unexpected benefits by faintly killing the Taoists.

Because some Taoists who often move corpses say that the corpses of Taoists who have been brought back recently are often mutilated, their bodies are also shriveled, and all their belongings have been looted, and all the bags are missing. , or it exploded.

This kind of sign undoubtedly proves that the situation of Taoists in this world will change, and they may be reduced from the status of hunters to the status of prey.

As the foothold of Taoist disciples, the dark castle sheltered everyone, but it was also the place where Taoist disciples gathered most.Once the creatures in this world start to deal with the Taoists and form a wave, this is where the other party will inevitably come.

Others may still doubt this, but Yu Lie has been reminded by the ghost with the surname Du, so he doesn't doubt it at all.

He paced around the room, thinking about it, and suddenly took out a skull from his sleeve, and threw it in front of him:
"Fortunately, the refining of the alchemy furnace is almost done, and the work can be completely completed in a few days."

The skull was standing upside down, showing a grayish white, skeleton state, suspended in mid-air, it looked very ordinary on the outside, but inside was a golden flame burning, which was quite exuberant.

Yu Lie also sat down cross-legged, holding a skull that was about the size of his own head in one hand, and took out the materials that he had just exchanged from the lobby.

Bones that were thicker than human legs were stuffed into skulls the size of a skull, and pieces of flesh, hearts and livers the size of cats and dogs were also lifted into it by him.

The skull was lifted upside down and rotated, every time it ingested a piece of bone or flesh, it would swell a bit, without any sign of bursting.

In the end, a skull as big as a bull fell into the room, which attracted people's attention.

This skull was obtained by using the "embryo formula" on the small skull cup.

It has been cultivated by Yu Lie for two months, and its qi and blood are interlinked. It has already initially possessed the function of a pill furnace. It can accept the mobilization of true energy, and can be shrunk into the stomach. Elixir.

Now it is only the last step, shaping the body, and thoroughly determining the appearance of the alchemy furnace. Even if the alchemy is successful, it can be used to open the furnace for alchemy.

Yu Lie stared at the huge skull pill furnace in front of him, thinking:

"What shape should it be, and how should it be shaped?"

Although the shape of the alchemy furnace has no effect on its function, it is best not to modify it after the crude embryo is successfully refined, otherwise it will easily destroy the spirit patterns that will be sacrificed in it again and again in the future, and the gain outweighs the loss.

As for the bone pill furnace in front of him, if it had the shape of a skull, it would seem a bit gloomy and lacking in a sense of immortality.

Yu Lie was tangled in his heart:
"Will it be made into a three-legged tripod, or a four-legged tripod... or a gourd, bowl, or incense burner?"
