Chapter 228 Big Sea Toad

Bird Island.

After receiving the news from the tribe, Wan Ziyi, the master of the Demon Flame Sect, came to find him in person.

Li Yuanze didn't dare to neglect and went to the living room immediately.

In the reception room...

Wan Ziyi, who was dressed in a black robe, restrained his breath like a mortal.

As expected of the elders of the inner sect of the Demon Flame Sect, the Li family members can't match it just by holding their breath with this hand.

Li Yuanze: "Master, I don't know what to expect from my special visit."

"Li Daoyou... As the saying goes, if you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace, I am quite curious about something I saw. I wonder if I can tell you in detail?" Hou Dongsheng took out a colorful metal piece from the pet bag, It's shellfish.

Li Yuanze laughed dumbfounded.

"The master is actually interested in this thing?"

Hou Dongsheng nodded, and generously admitted: "I was born in the Northern Continent. Ordinary people use gold, silver and copper coins. Cultivators use Lingshi or Yinshi. This is the first time I see shell coins, and I am indeed quite curious."

Li Yuanze: "Let me tell you the truth...the shell coin is very powerful, and it is easy to be absorbed on the bone. Ordinary people can polish the bone and forge it together with the shell coin, and it can be made into a sharp bone knife..."

"If we monks use demon bones to refine weapons, we must add refined shell coins. This can greatly increase the strength of demon bones, so that some demon bones that cannot be refined can be made into magic weapons, fish bone swords, and fish scale shields. , it would absolutely not be possible without Beijin."

"What if it is mixed with gold essence?"

"Master, I was joking... Jinjing itself is a second-level middle-grade spiritual material, and adding shell coins may reduce its quality instead."

"So that's how it is." Hou Dongsheng looked stunned.

Shell coins can be mixed with demon bones to make magic tools, no wonder it can: 1 spirit stone = 100 shell coins.

Li Yuanze: "If Master is interested in shell coins, how about we give you offerings in shell coins this month?"

"Are you planning to use 23 Bei coins to pay for my offering this month?"

"As long as the master is willing, there must be no problem on our side."

Hou Dongsheng frowned and began to think...

As a modern soul, the first thing he thinks of is finance.

Hou Dongsheng: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate... If you give me a large amount of shellfish, it will inevitably cause a shortage of shellfish in the market, deflation, and a sluggish market..."

Li Yuanze: "What does Master mean?"

"I'm afraid you don't have so many shell coins."

Li Yuanze: "There are... no matter how much there are, ordinary people can mint these shell coins. The shell coins in the family treasury are measured in tons. Even if the master empties the shell coins in the treasury, we You can also exchange spirit stones with the Lin Family of Yuchi Island."

Hou Dongsheng: "The Lin family of Yuchi Island...is it the Lin family of Yuchi Island with Jindan monks?"

"Exactly."

Hou Dongsheng: "They also know how to mint shell coins?"

"We live in the far sea far away from the inland, and the currency used by everyone is shell coins, so naturally they know how to mint shell coins." Li Yuanze explained.

Hou Dongsheng: "I wonder if Li Daoyou can tell you the specific casting method?"

"sure……"

"The casting of shellfish does not use the method of fire refining, but the method of water refining."

"Water refining?"

"That's right... This water refining method is the same as the fire refining method, and both can be used as a weapon refining method. However, most of the current water refining methods have been lost. Only the method of casting shell coins has been passed down." Very wide..."

"I waited for the islanders to collect the inedible shells and put them in the stone altar, soak them in acid water, seal them with wooden boards and soil, seal them for ten days, and then unseal them. After unsealed, remove the shells and put them in sea salt. The seven-color shell gold will appear naturally, and shell coins can be obtained after melting it with the method of fire refining." Li Yuanze explained concisely.

Hou Dongsheng: "Where does the acid water come from?"

According to the method of chemical preparation of metals, it is generally divided into three steps:
The first step is acid water to dissolve all impurity metals;
In the second step, an alkaline reducing agent is added to obtain sponge flocs, which are extremely fine metal particles.

The third step is melting and casting to obtain high-purity metal.

Sea salt can indeed be used as a reducing agent to reduce some metals.

But where in this world can we get concentrated sulfuric acid, concentrated hydrochloric acid or concentrated nitric acid.

Li Yuanze: "Report to master... that acid water is the venom of the first-order monster sea toad."

"Tell me about this sea toad." Hou Dongsheng asked.

"The sea toad, also known as the sea toad, is a very peculiar first-tier low-grade monster."

"Why is it so strange?"

"If we monks immigrate to a new island, it will take half a year at least, or a year at most, and there will inevitably be a sea toad. The sea toad has no beast eggs, as if it just appeared out of thin air. It is only the size of a fist when it is young, and it will grow up when it is an adult. It is the size of a washbasin, and it is only a low-grade first-grade product. If it is killed, it will not produce demon pills. The skin is full of sores and pustules, and it cannot be used to make talismans. Its only function is to produce acid and venom, and this poison is used to make shellfish. essential materials."

Hou Dongsheng: "You don't know something, toads are tadpoles, they don't appear out of thin air"

"Tadpole? Is this a kind of worm? My monks never bring worms to the island."

Hou Dongsheng was silent for a moment. If there were no such frogs on the island, it would be a bit strange for them to appear suddenly.

"You mean that the sea toad will follow the mortals and appear out of thin air?"

"It's not completely out of thin air. If you want the sea toad to appear, you need to pile up the leftover food scraps left by mortals in a pool, and soon there will be mosquitoes and flies in that pool out of thin air."

Hou Dongsheng: "That's right... this is called dampness. As long as the environment is humid, mosquitoes and flies will naturally breed."

Li Yuanze: "When the mosquitoes and insects gather to a certain amount, a mosquito-eating toad will naturally appear, that is the sea toad."

Hou Dongsheng: "On the land, the gathering of mosquitoes and flies will also attract toads, and when there are too many toads, it will also attract poisonous snakes. It is absolutely impossible to attract frog species that did not exist in the first place."

"That's right... that's the peculiarity of the sea toad."

Could it be that the tadpoles swam across the sea, climbed onto the land, and jumped into the pool?
This is really not easy to explain.

Hou Dongsheng didn't intend to get entangled in this topic anymore, and asked in a different voice: "How is the venom of the sea toad extracted?"

Li Yuanze: "It doesn't need to be extracted. The sea toad grows in the mosquito pond, and the water in the mosquito pond will turn sour and yellow. Use a wooden ladle to wash it, and it can be used to mint shell coins."

"Can you take me to see this giant sea toad?"

Li Yuanze: "Of course, it's just that the smell of the mosquito and fly pond is really offensive."

"It's okay."

Afterwards, Li Yuanze controlled the escape light, and Hou Dongsheng flew to follow with his physical body.

Although Li Yuanze felt strange, he didn't dare to ask more questions.

Li Yuanze: "Master, please!"

The Fly Pond is not far from the Mint.

Before the two got close, a sour smell hit their faces.

The grass poles around the pond are so high that you can't see the pond until you get close.

Li Yuanze pushed aside the grass pole and saw a square artificially dug pond.

Kitchen waste from the entire island will be dumped here, where it nourishes mosquitoes and flies and sea toads.

Hou Dongsheng saw the black-skinned toad lying on the pond at a glance, there were at least a dozen of them.

The giant sea toad was black, with wrinkled skin, full of sores and pustules, where the toad lay on its stomach, yellow pus naturally oozes out...

Hou Dongsheng: "This toad is really disgusting."

"Yes." Li Yuanze agreed.

"Cuck!"

suddenly.

A fist-sized toad jumped up from the pond, and fell into the yellow water of the pond again with a plop.

Both Hou Dongsheng and Li Yuanze could see clearly that the little toad had three legs.

Hou Dongsheng: "Are there any natural aliens among the big sea toads? It's like the heavenly root among human monks."
