dawn.

Chen Yun and Zhang Qian, who took turns to have a rest in the middle of the night, first explored the outside several times.

After confirming that Lin Feiyun was not there, the two of them put on the armor and horse talismans and left the ruined temple and ran all the way.

Perhaps Lin Feiyun was seriously injured and was unable to take care of Chen Yun and Zhang Qian for the time being. They had a peaceful journey along the way. Except for their weak legs when they were chased by a wild boar while crossing the mountain forest, nothing too dangerous happened. .

After half a day of traveling, Chen Yun and Zhang Qian crossed a distance of five hundred miles and successfully arrived at another city thousands of miles away from Xigou City.

Ma Chi City.

After being inspected by the garrison, the two entered the city.

There are densely packed shops on both sides.

There are a wide variety of products in the store, including clothing stores, rouge and gouache, etc. At a glance, there is a dazzling array of products.

Perhaps it was approaching noon, but I didn't see many vendors or pedestrians in the city. Only various restaurants were filled with customers.

Two people were walking on Qingshi Street.

Zhang Qian asked with a curious look on his face: "Senior Brother Chen, what exactly are you going to make to kill the witch? Tell me about it."

Chen Yun blinked and said: "Be careful, the walls have ears. I can't say it for now."

Zhang Qian said helplessly: "Okay."

Chen Yun saw a beggar on the roadside and threw a couple of silver coins over, which made the beggar thank him profusely.

After he smiled and nodded, he continued to talk to Zhang Qian: "Senior Brother Zhang, I will give you a task later."

Zhang Gan said: "You tell me."

Chen Yun pointed to the hut not far away, "Did you see the hut over there?"

Zhang Gan nodded, "I saw it."

Chen Yun blinked, "You should remember that there are a lot of white powdery things on the walls around the latrine, right?"

"You mean fire salt? Of course you know." Zhang Qian asked in confusion: "Why did you mention this thing?"

Chen Yun still didn't explain, "Scrape as much fire salt from the walls of the latrine as possible. The more, the better."

Although he didn't know what Chen Yun wanted to do, Zhang Qian still obeyed and said: "Okay."

After the discussion, the two found a restaurant to eat.

During this period, they were chatting quietly about how to deal with Lin Feiyun.

After a while, I finished my meal.

The two agreed to meet at the inn and parted.

Chen Yun looked around for people to ask, and finally came to a grocery store called "Zhao Ji".

Go in, and there is a shopkeeper with a mustache inside.

He sat listlessly behind the counter, his head lowered and he didn't know what he was doing. He didn't seem to notice any customers coming in.

Chen Yun took the initiative and asked: "Shopkeeper, do you sell Kunlun Huang for alchemy in your store?"

Kunlun Yellow is lumpy sulfur.

"Yes..." The shopkeeper looked up and saw a person. He quickly stood up and said with a big smile: "Oh, it's the Taoist priest."

Chen Yun walked to the counter and said, "Is there any charcoal in the store? It's best to have charcoal made from willow wood."

"Yes, we have them all." The shopkeeper said politely: "How much do you want?"

Chen Yun thought that he might need to refine it, so he simply asked for more, "Prepare twenty kilograms of Kunlun Huang and thirty kilograms of charcoal for me."

The shopkeeper said: "Okay, the charcoal costs [-] coins in total, and the Kunlun Huang is more expensive, [-] coins. The total of the two is [-] coins."

The price of charcoal is pretty much the same as I remembered.

On the contrary, the price of sulfur is a bit expensive.

Chen Yun remembered that during the Ming Dynasty, the price of sulfur shipped from Japan was eight cents per pound.

In this era similar to the Tang Dynasty, the technology may not be that developed, so a pound of sulfur costs forty coins, which is indeed very expensive.

However, the price was within the affordable range, and Chen Yun paid it readily.

Just after paying the money, Chen Yun asked out of nowhere, "Shopkeeper, do you have fire salt for sale?"

The shopkeeper was counting the money, "Yes, how much do you want?"

Chen Yun sweated. He thought that there was no fire salt to sell, so he asked Zhang Qian to go to the toilet to collect it. He didn't expect that there would be some.

Later, he bought more than 100 kilograms of fire salt.

Finally, Chen Yun found a carpenter while the shopkeeper was preparing the goods and asked him to make a wooden barrel.

……

in the inn.

After Chen Yun opened a guest room, he discussed it with the shopkeeper and gave him some silver coins so that he could borrow the kitchen. He also spent money to hire a boy to light the fire for him.

He first broke the sulfur into pieces, then put them into a pot and heated them.

Chen Yun was observing from time to time.

After seeing the sulfur melt, he kept stirring it with a wooden stick, which would help some of the impurities vaporize and evaporate.

Wait until this part is almost done.

He quickly took out the sulfur liquid and put it into the still that Wang Zaixi made for himself.

Heat the still.

Wait until the sulfur boils inside.

The sulfur gas travels along the pipe to the tank that has been prepared at the other end, where it gradually cools and solidifies.

The sulfur has just been purified.

Zhang Qian walked in from outside, "Senior Brother Chen, the shopkeeper said you are here."

Before Chen Yun turned around, he smelled a foul smell spreading from behind.

Not surprisingly, Zhang Qian did go into the latrine to collect fire salt.

Chen Yungang turned around and wanted to apologize.Zhang Qian stared at the large pile of fire salt in the wooden basin and said speechlessly: "Senior Brother Chen, where did you get this fire salt? I spent a long time in the latrine to collect just one kilogram. I'm afraid you have hundreds of kilograms." Alright?"

"Ahem." Chen Yun was quite embarrassed, "I just asked the grocery store and they sell it."

Zhang Gan: "..."

He stared at Chen Yun with a look of resentment, "Do you know how smelly the latrine is?"

Of course Chen Yun knew how stinky it was, the smell of ancient latrines...

Well, that's pretty much it.

He quickly comforted Zhang Gan and then began to purify the saltpeter.

Purifying saltpeter is relatively simple. Chen Yun uses the recrystallization method, which is to crush the saltpeter into powder, then dissolve it in enough hot water, and wait until it slowly cools. During the cooling process, the saltpeter will gradually crystallize. At this time, through filtration The crystals were separated and washed with cold water.

Chen Yun repeated this process several times and finally obtained high-purity saltpeter.

After doing this, he left the saltpeter to dry.

……

Two days later, at noon.

Chen Yun's ultimate weapon was finally made.

During the past two days, due to the effectiveness of Zhu Guo's peel, he was able to practice for nine small weeks every night, and he refined a total of 160 two rays of true Qi.

You must know that Chen Yun had not broken through to the eighth level mage after practicing for nearly a month.

Now, three nights are worth three months of practice.

This made him quite emotional. As expected, cultivation requires heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

The most important thing is that this is the peel of the red fruit.

If it were a complete Zhu Guo, its effectiveness would definitely be even more powerful.

Chen Yun almost couldn't help but want to eat Zhu Guo several times.

But he believed that the Refining Qi Transformation Decoction would be more effective than simply eating Zhu Guo, so he resisted eating it.

What is regrettable is that after three days of refining, the effectiveness of the red fruit peel has disappeared.

in the guest room.

The two of them were squatting in front of the wooden basin and watching.

Inside the wooden basin, there were a large number of black particles shaped like yellow rice.

Zhang Qian looked at these black particles and said with curiosity: "Brother Chen, what are these?"

These are all gunpowder.

Or wheat grain gunpowder to be precise.

Chen Yun looked at these grains of gunpowder and felt quite accomplished.

It’s not that gunpowder didn’t exist in ancient times.

It’s just that ancient gunpowder burned slowly and had low energy.

He was afraid that he would not be able to blow up Lin Feiyun at once, so he specially made a high-end version of "Wheat Grain" gunpowder.

Wheat gunpowder burns twice as efficiently as powder, just as twigs burn more easily than sawdust.

Moreover, wheat grain gunpowder is far more powerful than ordinary black powder.

Of course, this is not a killer feature.

Chen Yun's real trump card is to make gunpowder from wheat grains into an explosive barrel to blow up the witch Lin Feiyun.

It can be said that this is a truly transcendent weapon.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, "This is gunpowder."

Zhang Qian had been preaching for five years, so he naturally knew what gunpowder was.

After all, gunpowder is a thing created by Taoist priests in alchemy.

He wondered: "Is this gunpowder? Don't lie to me. Isn't gunpowder black powder like flour?"

Chen Yun was too lazy to explain to him, "You'll know later. Help me put the gunpowder into the barrel first."

Zhang Gan blinked and said, "Is it really gunpowder? Can I light it and try it?"

Chen Yun was startled, "Senior Brother Zhang, you want to die, but I don't want to die yet."

Zhang Qian said disapprovingly: "When the gunpowder is ignited, it will sting with sparks. What's there to be afraid of?"

Chen Yun rolled his eyes and said, "My gunpowder is much more powerful than the gunpowder you know."

He decided to make it clear to Zhang Qian, lest this guy get confused and try to light up the wheat gunpowder out of curiosity later, "My kind of gunpowder, if it weighs four hundred kilograms, can blow up half a street!" "

Zhang Qian was stunned when he heard this: "Wow! Four hundred kilograms blew up half the street? So ferocious?"

Chen Yun hummed, "This wooden barrel can only hold about twenty kilograms. The power may be a little small, but it should be more than enough to kill the witch Lin Feiyun. So when we use this thing, we must keep in touch with the witch. Far enough away.”

The power of wheat grain gunpowder is about three-fifths that of TNT high explosive.

In other words, the power of these twenty kilograms of gunpowder is roughly equivalent to twelve kilograms of TNT high explosive.

Chen Yun's only regret is that he doesn't have time to refine glycerin.

Otherwise, he could also make glycerin dynamite, which would be even more powerful.

As far as this powder keg was concerned, Chen Yun felt that it would be easy to blow up a building.

Zhang Ganshen took it seriously and said, "I want to stay far away. I don't want to die young."

As he said that, he looked at Chen Yun with admiration on his face, "Senior Brother Chen, I really don't know how your head is so long that you can invent this thing?"

Chen Yun laughed loudly, "Okay, don't be poor, quickly put the gunpowder into the barrel and see if I don't blow up that witch Lin Feiyun!"

Zhang Gan clenched his fists and waved, "I will blow her to pieces!"

Yes, we must kill that witch.

Although Chen Yun is a peaceful person, since others want to kill him, he is sorry, but he is not a vegetarian and will never sit still and wait for death.

want to kill me?
You can try!
Chen Yun had thoughts of killing for the first time, and he still wanted to kill him. If Lin Feiyun didn't die, he would have trouble sleeping and eating!
