Chapter 53 Copper Rib Iron Bone Skin (4k)

Hot and humid.

The steaming heat filled the remaining stone houses, causing drops of water to fall from the roofs.

pat!

Yu Lie was sweating profusely, his feet were wet, his arms were bare, he was holding a hammer and tongs in his hand, like a blacksmith, he was working hard in his stone house.

A bright red fire pond occupies nearly one-third of the stone house, and the charcoal fire in the middle is laid out layer by layer, and it is also arranged in the shape of Jiugong Bagua.

Yu Lie poked the top layer of coals with tongs, put down the hammer with his left hand, scooped up a scoop of muddy liquid from the water tank, and poured it into the fire pit.

Stab it!A foul-smelling mist immediately rose from the fire pit, turning into gray-white mist and burning.

Yu Lie's face was washed by the evaporating mist, and his face was burning hot, and his nasal cavity was filled with a foul smell.

What he splashed just now was not an ordinary liquid, but a hot liquid made by mixing horse urine and donkey blood.

To complete the transformation of copper and iron, the use of ordinary charcoal cannot meet the temperature requirements for melting gold and iron.

Fortunately, there is a burning consumable called animal charcoal in Heishui Town.

Its pieces are carved into the shape of animal heads or skulls. It is a kind of coal whose temperature is just enough to meet the needs of metamorphosis. It is also the main fuel for iron forging in the town's tool yard.

It's just that in the process of burning the animal charcoal, it needs to be repeatedly poured with special water to fully burn it, and it will not produce poisonous gas to kill people.

However, after the horse urine was mixed with donkey blood, the smell was really unpleasant and irritating to the eyes.Many Taoist boys in the town are burning fire and iron, and because of this, most of them suffer from eye diseases, and they squint their eyes into a slit all day long.

Whoosh!

Yu Lie stared at his red eyes. He identified the color of the flame in the firepit, and found that it was changing from red to purple.

After waiting for a while, he was certain in his heart: "The potion is prepared and the fire is burning. It's time to start!"

Gritting his teeth, Yu Lie took off the clothes on his lower body, stood naked by the firepit, took a clay pot, grabbed a handful of light golden ointment from it, and applied it on his body.

He applied it very meticulously, whether it was the eyelids, ear pinna, genitals, top of the head, soles of the feet, etc., he wiped all exposed skin.

After all the smearing was done, Yu Lie's whole body was covered with gold. Standing by the fire pond, he was like a bronze portrait, with dark gold shining.

This kind of ointment is the ointment of transformation that Yu Lie spent a lot of money to buy medicine from the alchemy room, mixed with half of the spirit stone, and finely ground it to make it.

The ointment has the effects of promoting muscle and blood circulation, and resisting fire and stopping heat. Only after applying it can Yu Lie step into the firepit to transform, and even if he fails, his life will not be in danger.

The next moment, Yu Lie took a deep breath and slammed the pot into the firepit.

boom!
A burst of bluish-purple flames burst out, the clay pots shattered, the animal charcoal rolled, and the spirit stone powder left in the pots caused the temperature of the entire firepit to suddenly increase by a large amount.

There are also tumbling flames in Yu Lian's list:

"Whether it is success or failure, it depends on the next step!"

He held his breath, and immediately stretched his feet into the fire pit, and walked step by step towards the center of the fire pit.

A scorching, burning sensation appeared on Yu Lie's body, he felt as if someone was peeling his skin, and there was no pain anywhere on his body.

And this is due to his own strong physique and the fact that he has ointment to protect his body.

If it was an ordinary Daoist boy, or if there was no ointment, he would scream in pain immediately, unable to hold his breath, feeling fear in his heart, and the success rate of transformation would be reduced by three points on the spot.

Enduring the pain, Yu Lie walked to the center of the fire pond step by step, and stood on a white iron lotus flower made of hammered iron sheets.

The iron lotus is burning red, and it can be said that it is the hottest place in the whole fire pit.

The soles of Yu Lie's feet fell down, even with the protection of ointment, he still heard the scorching sound of scorching, like grilling meat on an iron plate.

But even so, Yu Lie still showed no signs of jumping away. Instead, he lowered his body and knelt in the iron lotus, exposing himself to the high temperature.

There is another point worth noting in this step.

That is to say, the Taoist must sit on his knees, not sitting cross-legged, or sitting on his knees, and his legs must be close together and tightly, so as to completely separate the lower yin and the iron plate!

Otherwise, if the lower yin is burned by the iron plate, it will easily burn Daotong's outer kidney, which will make people regret it.Of course, Dao Tong who doesn't have an outer kidney doesn't have to think about this, he can choose his posture at will.

After Yu Lie sat down, his whole body was immediately enveloped in purple flames.

His eyes were in a daze, as if there were poisonous snakes licking his whole body, very poisonous.

The pale golden ointment on his body was also glowing, making him look like a piece of iron and gold that had been burned cold in the furnace.

Yu Lie could clearly feel that traces of hot but pure aura were eroding his body.

Every skin on his body is constantly undergoing the process of destruction and repair, and his muscles are also trembling.

But the even greater pain also appeared all over Yu Lie's body.

At this time, Yu Lie finally couldn't bear it anymore, and let out a low growl in his throat:

"It hurts! It hurts..."

Compared with the excruciating pain at this time, the sea of ​​frying pan and flames he experienced in the Taoist Academy last time was nothing short of pediatrics. It was really just a test.

Yu Lie also suddenly noticed that the stone mill and oil pan, the mountains of knives and the sea of ​​fire at that time may be related to the current transformation process, allowing Daotong to experience the transformation process of "bronze tendons and iron bones" in advance and test his potential.

And Yu Lie was able to easily pass the four levels at the beginning, so his potential to complete the transformation now is naturally great.

Therefore, in the firepit, Yu Lie only growled in his mouth, but his body did not shake at all, and he accepted the roasting of the firepit solidly without any fear.

Beast charcoal burned, and the flames rolled.

After half an hour passed, Yu Lie really looked like a bronze statue, kneeling and sitting in the middle of the iron lotus, motionless.

Because he knelt for too long, the petals of the iron lotus had pierced into his legs, and the blood flowed out, which immediately scorched black, making the iron lotus mottled endlessly.

Another half an hour passed.

After enduring a full hour of roasting, Yu Lie finally opened his eyes abruptly, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

During this moment, he was not only suffering from torture and pain, but also absorbing the spiritual power and medicinal properties of the medicine.

At this time, Yu Lie could already feel that the skin membranes all over his body had been polished, and it was no longer as painful as it used to be when fried!

However, the transformation has not been completed. To be precise, the one-hour roast just now was just a warm-up or warm-up.

The transformation of copper tendons and iron bones does not just need to be baked once, but also has to find ways to make the bones also touch and temper!

The last step is the key to determining the success of the transformation, and it is also the step where Daotong is most likely to die and be seriously injured!
Facing this step, even Yu Lie, who was confident in his heart, couldn't help but sink, and his hands trembled a little.

But he looked around at the dimly lit fire pond around him, knowing that he didn't have much time to hesitate.

The next moment, Yu Lie's face was serious, he closed his eyes tightly again, and touched the top of his head with his hands.

A slippery feeling appeared on his fingers, and the feel was excellent.

Before the transformation of copper tendons and iron bones, Dao Tong not only needs to burn incense and bathe, but also needs to clean his whole body, shave and pluck his hair, so that not a single hair can be left on his body.

Otherwise, the hair will block the ointment, hinder the application, and then affect the absorption of the medicine.

Moreover, after stepping into the fire pit, Dao Tong has to endure a long time of roasting. No matter how tough the hair on his body is, it will be burnt to nothing.Rather than keeping it, it is better to dispose of it as soon as possible.

So now, Yu Lie is hairless all over his body, and his head is like an egg that has been peeled off its shell, smooth and smooth, even the stubble is not obvious.

He rubbed the top of his head, sharp claws suddenly grew out of his hands, and he swiped straight with his pointed fingers.

There was a scoff.

Yu Lie's face was distorted, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

Roar!
Such severe pain made him growl again, his facial features were hideous.

But his body still didn't shake at all, his back was straighter, and he stretched out his hand to firmly pull down a mechanism next to him.

Just above Yu Lie's head, there was a can of hot kerosene filled with gurgling sounds.

The mechanism was pulled down, and the kerosene mixed with the other half of the spirit stone in the jar immediately fell, and fell on Yu Lie's body in a ticking manner for tempering.

Stab it!

There was a sound of frying and oil splashing, and there was a smell of burning. No matter how firm Yu Lie's mind was, his body was shaking violently at this moment, shaking back and forth like a madman.

An even louder howl sounded in the stone house.

First use the firepit to roast the body, and then use dense oil to quench the bones. These two steps are the standard transformation process for the transformation of copper tendons and iron bones!
The former is using the high temperature to force the medicinal power of the spirit stone into Daotong's skin, muscles and muscles, and polish his whole body.

The latter is to use the fire oil to burn the bones, and then force the remaining half of the spirit stone's medicinal power into the Taoist's bones.

And the latter is not a one-off thing, because the skull is only a part of human bones, and the remaining bones have to continue to temper all the bones that can be exposed, and accept the kerosene shower one by one.

Among them, the bones of the hand and the spine are related to the blood vessels and meridians. If you are not careful, you may suffer from massive bleeding or damage the meridians. You must be careful when doing it, and there must be no slight deviation, otherwise it is very easy to fail, and even lead to hemiplegia.

According to the records in the Daoist scriptures, this step is also best done by a famous teacher, and you can also take things such as Mabo spirits to numb the mind of the Taoist boy and reduce conflicts.

Otherwise, once Dao Tong's will is not firm and his technique is not in place, the possibility of failure is very high.

It's just that Yu Lie is in a place like Heishui Town, and he doesn't have a master at all, and he doesn't dare to spend money to ask others for help. After all, as long as he dies on stage, all his wealth will belong to others.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in Heishui Town.In turn, it also led to a large number of Taoist boys, who were obviously qualified to carry out the transformation of copper and iron bones, but they were timid and did not dare to carry out.

Fortunately, Yu Lie was different, not only was he willing to deal with him harshly, but he also practiced it in the mouth of Dan Fangdu for several months.

Now he can be said to be ruthless and accurate in his strikes.And without using the boiling potion, it would be easier for him to absorb the potency of the kerosene, and it would be able to exert the effect of transformation.

Slap, sting!
The sound of tempering kept ringing in the fire pit.

The scalding spiritual liquid fell drop by drop, and burned on Yu Lie's body.

As the fire oil accumulated more and more, Yu Lie was greasy all over his body, and his body was covered with a layer of flames. The added heat made the iron lotus flower he was sitting on begin to melt.

When the animal charcoal in the fire pond was about to be burned out, the iron lotus flower in the center flickered again.A white light appeared, and the entire iron seat was ignited, and moved slowly, closing bit by bit.

These lotus-shaped iron sheets are not ordinary iron sheets, but are mixed with lead and mercury and other special metals, which are consumables and medicinal materials that can be burned by themselves.

At this time, the temperature reached, it was finally ignited, and the transformation of copper tendons and iron bones also reached the final juncture.

The turbulent high temperature was rippling in the stone room like breathing, the fire light on Yu Lie's body changed from blue purple to pure purple, and the air in the room was burned and distorted.

In poisonous smoke, fire, and kerosene,

Yu Lie still just buried his head, continuing to take care of his skin and bones.

The closer it was to the end, the less he wanted to make any mistakes in his transformation steps, and he needed to continue to calm down.

If someone is in the stone house now, he will find that his movements are unhurried, as if he is just washing his clothes with his head down by the river.

Yu Lie was already numb from the pain, as if the physical body was not his own.

After a while

The iron lotus closed completely, and Yu Lie's whole body was wrapped in the flower buds, as if put into a blast furnace.

As a result, the fire intensified and roared to the top, causing the stone roof to crack and slag to fall down.

And in the next step, the petals of this iron lotus will be divided into three batches, and the petals will wither one by one, which is enough to warm up for three days and three nights, and blast all the medicinal power into the rest of the body without a drop.

The longer this process lasts, the stronger the tempering effect of the rest of the body will be, and the tougher the skin, tendons and bones will be.

The stone room suddenly fell silent, only the sound of the flames burning.

………………

time flies.

One day passed, two days passed, three days passed.

For a full three days and three nights, the iron lotus fell completely, shattered into pieces, and finally exposed the remaining rows inside.

In the firepit, Yu Lie still bowed his head and knelt and sat still, covered in ashes, like a praying person.

Zheng!
In the dark stone room, Yu Lie suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes changed from numb to wanton.

He raised his head, opened his hands involuntarily, looked up to the sky and laughed, and chanted:

"Open the skin membrane and scrape the red bones to plant golden lotus in the fire.

Burn the body and tail, drenched in oil, and get copper tendons and iron bones! "

I saw that his muscles were clearly defined, casted in copper and iron, all the flames around him had been extinguished, and the surroundings were pitch black, full of white ashes.But around Yu Lie, the temperature was still hot, as if there was still a fire burning.

This is Yu Lie's blood, which is boiling and surging like a furnace that will not go out for a long time!

At this time, Yu Lie has already completed the transformation of copper tendons and iron bones. His blood is like a furnace, and his skin is hard. From now on, he will no longer be afraid of swords, guns and arrows, just like wearing a heavy armor.

With a loud shout, he can disperse some ordinary little ghosts, crush evil spirits, and demonstrate the power of a Taoist.

If he dies, bury his body in the ground, it will not decompose for 30 years, and it is still a good material for blindly refining zombies.
