Unsurpassed Spirits

Chapter 19 Temporary Partner
"This black and red material is the essence of basalt. It can be melted and separated under flame calcination. You can extract them."

Yan Chao threw her a jade bottle and gave her a few pieces of basalt, "The fire in the furnace is the fire of the earth's veins brought up from the center of the earth. The temperature is much higher than the internal fire of ordinary monks, but it is also more stable. The handle next to it is used to adjust the size and temperature of the flame. Also, I would like to remind you that the essence of basalt is very easy to escape when in liquid form, so it needs to be wrapped with spiritual consciousness and introduced into the bottle at the beginning of separation."

After saying this, Yan Chao said no more and continued to work on the red-hot iron in his hand, ignoring her.

Luo Qingli stood in front of the stove with the ore, thinking that if all the five basalt rocks in her hand were used up and she couldn't extract the essence of the ore, Boss Yan would probably kick her out.

But to be honest, this was indeed the first time Luo Qingli came into contact with refining ore essence. Even after Yan Chao gave her some advice, she was still a pure novice.

Luo Qingli did not rush to throw the ore in to refine it, but first became familiar with the refining furnace, especially how to control the furnace fire.

There were nine fire channels arranged under the stove, and the ground fire came out of these fire channels. Luo Qingli probably felt the temperature of the fire, and then he shot a light towards the handle, turned the handle upward, and the originally closed A certain fire opening opened instantly, and a red flame was suddenly added to the furnace, which merged with the original fire. The temperature rose sharply. Luo Qingli, who was standing at the mouth of the furnace, could clearly feel the gushing heat. In the heat wave, she cast another spiritual light, turned off the two fire channels, and the temperature in the furnace slowly dropped.

After trying this repeatedly for several times, Luo Qingli gradually became familiar with fire control, and she also discovered that the outer flame of the fire was the highest, while the center of the flame was gentle, calm, and the lowest temperature.

When he finally decided to start refining, Luo Qingli only left a fire opening.

If the flames in the furnace were too strong, she was really afraid that the basalt would be turned into slag as soon as she put it in, leaving nothing at all. It was better to slowly increase the fire little by little.

The basalt was put into the flames to be calcined, and Luo Qingli's consciousness was always on it. Because there was only one fire channel, the temperature in the furnace was a bit low, and even after burning for a while, there was no sign of the black and red essence inside melting. .

Luo Qingli was not in a hurry and waited patiently. Finally, she found that the black and red substances slowly turned into a liquid state and were peeled off from the ore. She hurriedly followed Yan Chao's instructions and wrapped it with her consciousness to prevent it from escaping.

But she soon discovered that something was wrong. The spiritual energy contained in the molten liquid wrapped in divine consciousness was losing rapidly, and she could not save it no matter what she did. The remaining spiritual energy was so thin that it was almost imperceptible.

The pounding sound in his ears was endless. Yan Chao kept moving his hands and said coldly and rigidly every word: "The calcining time is too long and the spiritual energy is severely depleted. The essence molten liquid in your hand is of no use at all."

Luo Qingli asked in confusion: "How long is the appropriate time for calcining?"

Yan Chao was silent for a moment and answered her: "It depends on the properties of the spiritual minerals. Some spiritual minerals need to be refined thousands of times, while some spiritual minerals need to be refined quickly at high temperatures. Different spiritual minerals have different heat levels. An excellent refiner Master, first of all, you must have a certain understanding of spiritual mines, and secondly, your fire control ability must be very good..."

Luo Qingli pursed his lips slightly, knowing that he had made a big mistake and started to do it without even understanding the material in his hand.

Boss Yan didn't say anything, but it didn't mean that he couldn't ask. Low-level materials like basalt would be broken if they were refined, but if they were some rare high-level materials, the losses would be great.

Just because you are a newbie who doesn’t know anything, you have to learn slowly and little by little.

"Feel sorry."

Yan Chao snorted, "The basalt in your hand is only a low-level material and needs to be extracted within two-quarters of an hour. Once this time is exceeded, the spiritual energy will be lost quickly." Luo Qingli wrote down one by one and asked some related questions. question, take a deep breath, open the three fire openings, wait for the temperature in the furnace to stabilize, and then drop another piece of basalt.

This time, in addition to observing the melting of the black and red essence, she also paid attention to the spiritual energy content in it. After a quarter of an hour, the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual mine began to lose, but at a slower rate. At this time, the basalt rock The essence is still semi-solid.

Luo Qingli opened another fire tunnel. The sudden increase in temperature burned part of the spiritual minerals, and small beads of sweat began to appear on Luo Qingli's forehead.

The process of refining actually does not require her to expend any spiritual power. After all, the furnace fire uses earth fire instead of the internal fire that she relies on her spiritual power to stimulate and maintain. However, it does require her full concentration, which consumes more mental power. big.

After putting a fingernail-sized amount of basalt essence into the jade bottle, Luo Qingli looked at Yan Chao again, "Boss Yan, part of it melted when I suddenly turned on the fire. How should I deal with this situation?"

"When the temperature changes, wrap the spirit mine with spiritual energy and wait for it to adapt to this process."

"What kind of spiritual energy is used? Is there any particularity in this aspect?"

Yan Chao turned his back to her and curled his lips, "Of course, use the same spiritual energy as the spiritual mineral itself. Basalt is a fire-attribute spiritual mineral, so you need to use fire spiritual energy."

Luo Qingli nodded, looked at the ore in his hand, and suddenly said, "What if it has multiple attributes or no attributes?"

Yan Chao laughed, "For multi-attribute ores, it depends on which side you focus on. For non-attribute ores, it doesn't matter what kind of aura you have."

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Luo Qingli felt that his tone seemed less cold.

After learning the lessons from the previous two times, Luo Qingli threw another piece of basalt in. The refining process went much smoother this time, and more essence was extracted. Luo Qingli gradually found the feeling, and she began to try to find it. At the right time, the essence was collected and refined when the spiritual energy just started to lose in order to minimize the loss. However, after all five basalt rocks were extracted, no specific trick was found.

The amount of molten liquid in the jade bottle was only an ordinary sip of water, just enough to cover the bottom of a bottle. Most of it was lost during the refining process.

Luo Qingli felt a strong wave of exhaustion coming over her, and her face turned a little pale. She handed the jade bottle to Yan Chao, "Boss Yan, do you think this is okay?"

Yan Chao glanced at it indifferently and hummed softly, "A novice can barely pass the test if he makes it like this. As for the heat, you can only explore and experience it yourself. There is no way to teach it."

Luo Qingli was stunned, "What do you mean..."

"Don't be too happy too early. You are just a temporary clerk in the store now. I am very strict. If you dissatisfy me, pack your bags and get out of here immediately!"
