Chapter 284: Fire Crow Calls the Sun
on, Jiang Yun's mind was racing.To be honest, besides this Dugu Wen giving me a strange sense of danger, everything that has happened since I first met him feels weird and eerie.Ten years ago, Dugu We...The idea came from Gingercloud's constant gaze upon the stone pot.
Although the cauldron was his most familiar alchemy tool, he also knew that compared to a true dedicated alchemy furnace, it was still far inferior.
The most basic difference lies in the materials used.
Though Gingercloud seems to be using the higher heat of the searing fire to burn the cast iron pot, in reality, he has meticulously divided the fire's intensity in half.
The true high temperature is within the pot, enveloping the medicinal herbs, while the temperature outside the stone pot is not high.
Otherwise, this cauldron would have long been burned into gas, it would be impossible to refine pills at all.
Apart from the material, the biggest difference between a stone pot and a cauldron is that any cauldron will inevitably be engraved with all sorts of formations.
The number and strength of formations can also serve as an important standard for judging the quality of a tripod.
Actually, Jiang Yun was also moved by the nine tripod cauldrons that Elder Han had just taken out.
But when he cast a glance over it, with his current understanding of formations, he easily saw through it.
Each tripod's surface inscription of an array will have at least five.
This is also why he ultimately chose a stone pot.
No matter how good those cauldrons were, he was unfamiliar with them.
Especially the combination of various formations, its complexity is no less than alchemy.
He didn't have time to study it carefully.
If you don't use the power of those formations, it's just as easy to use a stone pot.
As for what Elder Han said about "returning to simplicity," he couldn't even begin to imagine.
In short, the formation is precisely what this stone pot before him lacks.
But even now, if he wanted to carve the formation onto the stone pot, it would be too late. So, he extended this idea into the stone pot itself, onto the medicinal liquid about to be fused.
Since I believe that all things in heaven and earth can be used for medicine, then among them, formations should also be included!
"If I only refine it like this, then the Tianjing Pill I would eventually refine could at most reach perfection."
"If I could incorporate an array formation into the elixir that enhances its corresponding effects..."
“Will the pills made from that process also be able to, like the cauldron inscribed with formations, further enhance their potency”
But, perfect danxiao is already an extreme, what would happen if it surpassed perfection
Although Ginger's heart was acutely aware that the idea that had suddenly sprung to mind was best left unrealized at this very moment.
Because of this attempt, there is a high possibility of failure.
And once he fails, then he'll truly have his efforts for naught, and will be eliminated from this Medicine God Sect Grand Competition.
But this idea, instead of fading from his mind, has taken root and is constantly tempting his soul, driving him to pursue it relentlessly!
After a brief struggle within, a resolute look appeared in Ginger Cloud's eyes.
"All in!"
It's not that he was really daring, but because in this final round of the competition, so far, whether it was speed or the quality of the pills he refined, he was far inferior to Guan Yiming and Xiao Zheng.
Then, even if the Tianjing Dan was successfully refined and achieved perfect quality, it would probably still lose to Guan Yiming's fifth-rank Po Mo Dan and Xiao Zheng's fourth-rank Xu Ming Dan.
If this daring idea were to become reality, what kind of elixir it would ultimately produce, even he himself wouldn't know.
And this, is also his only chance of winning!
With Gingercloud's heart having made its decision, his mind instantly returned to a state of utter clarity.
He didn't even bother with the stone cauldron, where twenty-one medicinal liquids should have been immediately fused together.
Jiang Yun sat cross-legged, and in his mind countless constantly changing formations began to appear.
Tianjing Dan's function is to supplement the essence of the sun, which is also known as solar essence. In the array formation insights left by Xue Senior, I saw several types of arrays that can attract the power of the sun.
Many people believe that the Snow Clan, because of their unique tribal nature, would certainly fear fire and the sun. In reality, however, it is quite the opposite.
The Xue clan was born under the burning of fire. To them, fire was not something to fear, but rather something they were willing to approach.
However, the Northern Mountains region is perpetually covered in snow and ice, with the sun rarely appearing. That's why Xue Mu, to help her tribe train, developed several formations that could attract the power of the sun.
"Then, I shall select one formation from them and inscribe it into this medicinal liquid!"
Soon, Jiang Yun chose a formation - the Fire Crow 引 Yang Formation.
This is Xue Mu Cheng's creation based on the "Hua Wu" ( 化烏 ) from the San Shi of Li Huo (離火三式).
Because it originated from fire, it was originally a spark of flame that left the sun.
The Fire Crow Clan originated from the sun, so when the two are combined, they can attract a large amount of solar power.
"Away with fire!"
As Ginger Cloud softly uttered these two words from her mouth, the flames that were originally only beneath the stone pot suddenly surged and expanded.
This caused a fire to break out over an area of at least several dozen square meters.
Even his own form was completely enveloped and devoured by this sea of fire.
Such a large number of fire occurrences naturally caused the temperature within this place of transmission to rise sharply.
...so even Guan Yiming and Xiao Zheng, who were not far away, frowned and looked at Jiang Yun.
Xiao Zheng was fine; no matter what Jiang Yun did, he supported her unconditionally.
Besides, there was still Guan Yiming between him and Jiang Yun, so even though the temperature rose, it had little effect on him.
But Guan Yiming, who was right next to Jiang Yun, felt naturally a little annoyed.
In his opinion, Gingercloud probably realized that it was impossible to defeat him in this round, so he began trying to influence him.
"This kind of underhanded trick won't have any effect on me at all!"
Amidst a cold laugh, Guan Yiming suddenly patted the five-bead jade pendant hanging from his waist.
Instantly, five beams of light shot out from within, converging in mid-air to form a five-pointed star of five colors, encasing him and the cauldron. This also shielded them from the surrounding intense heat.
This jade pendant actually conceals an array!
This scene naturally shocked and confused the many onlookers. They couldn't understand what Jiang Yun meant by creating such a sea of fire.
Although Tianjingtan is used by the demon race, its rank is relatively low, so many alchemists have once refined it.
The entire process doesn't require any extremely high temperatures.
"Fellow Daoist Jiangyun, what are you trying to do"
"I don't know, but I have a feeling that this final round of competition will definitely not be as simple as we see it!"
"Hum!"
Suddenly, a violent tremor shook the ground.
And whether it was Elder Han within the ancestral land or the headmaster of the Yaoshengzong from outside, they both wore faces of confusion and couldn't help but change simultaneously.
Because the flames released by Ginger Cloud were incredibly hot, they gradually ignited the surrounding air.
While the area they are currently in is only the periphery of the inheritance land, if it were to be burned by Jiang Yun, it would definitely have some impact on the true inheritance land.
Even, it is possible to accelerate the collapse of the place of transmission!
Seeing this, a roar suddenly came from outside the inheritance ground. It was the head of Yaoshenzong: "Jiang Yun, no matter what you want to do, stop immediately!"
