An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

"But Master clearly said before that this Yang Qi has been restored!"

The other party did not answer Zhang Kun's question, and then there was silence outside the door.

"What happened?"

Xu Fu opened the door and went out, only to see Zhang Kun alone outside the door. His brows were furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Suzaku's yang energy has still not recovered. Did you notice anything unusual when you were on the third level of the sea of ​​fire?" Zhang Kun looked at Xu Fu and suddenly thought that the other party was someone who had returned from the third level of the sea of ​​fire, so he asked hurriedly.

"There is only one small island on the third level, and the rest is full of magma. There are Qiongqi and some strange insects on the island..."

"Strange bug?" After listening to Xu Fu's statement, Zhang Kun discovered something was wrong. Although she had never been to the third level of the sea of ​​fire, she knew that there should be no other living creatures below except Qiongqi. This strange bug was Where did it come from?

Xu Fu described the appearance of the strange insect to Zhang Kun. After hearing this, Zhang Kun frowned even deeper.

"Fire Centipede!"

"what?"

"I said it was a fire centipede! It is the most heat-resistant spiritual insect, but it will not appear on the third floor for no reason."

"Don't worry, that fire centipede has been destroyed by me!" Xu Fu said with a smile. Of course, most of this credit must be recorded on the red-bearded fire head.

"It is said that this kind of spiritual insect can be broken into pieces and then regenerated, but it is difficult to kill!" Zhang Kun didn't quite believe what Xu Fu said just now.

Xu Fu once again caught the red-bearded fire insect and killed the female insect himself with Zhang Kun. He just hid the part about the milk in the stone and the fire in the stone. After all, he was not sure whether this was the Suzaku going to the Spiritual Academy. What if he is asked to pay for the secret treasure if it is true? You can't afford to pay for it even if you sell him!

Zhang Kun's eyes widened even more as he listened. When he heard Xu Fu cleaning the red stone where the fire centipede was entrenched, his eyes almost fell out of his head.

"Heart of the Suzaku? Have you found the Heart of the Suzaku?" Zhang Kun's voice was almost roaring. If he had been surprised to hear that Xu Fu's spiritual fire could eat fire centipedes, then Xu Fu's discovery of the red stone was a bolt from the blue!

"What Suzaku Heart?"

"No wonder! No wonder!" The expression on Zhang Kun's face could be said to be ecstatic. He then took out a walnut-sized shell and shouted into it: "Master! I know the reason for the lack of Yang Qi!"

……

Xu Fu followed Zhang Kun to a stone house, which was already full of people. In addition to Dean Ma sitting in the middle, there are five other women sitting on both sides. Xu Fu, old and young, can't recognize them all, but from the clothes of these people and the aura they inadvertently reveal, Xu Fu guesses that this must be the famous " Zhuque Qisu".

Zhang Kun asked Xu Fu to sit on the only free chair, while she came behind Yang Jinhuai, who closed her eyes to rest, and stood there quietly.

At this time, except for Yang Jinhuai, everyone's eyes were on Xu Fu. Even though these people were not hostile, Xu Fu felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable being stared at by so many masters.

"Teacher Xu Fu, please tell me more about what you saw and heard in the sea of ​​fire." Ma Yueming was the first to speak. His words were very polite, but his tone was a little cold.

Xu Fu glanced at Zhang Kun, and when he saw Zhang Kun nodded, he began to speak honestly.

Seeing this scene, Ma Yueming frowned slightly, but didn't say much.

Xu Fu simply and clearly explained all the things he thought were important, and then sat on his chair and watched the reactions of others.

After listening to Xu Fu's narration, everyone fell into deep thought. Only Zhang Kun looked satisfied. She was not surprised at all by the silence of the others. After all, what Xu Fu just said was the biggest anecdote in Suzaku in the past hundred years.

"You're not trying to trick us, are you?" One person asked, "Why are there fire centipedes in this sea of ​​fire?"

"Otherwise, the Fire Centipede and the Suzaku Heart could have been made up by Xu Fu?" Zhang Kun's expression changed upon hearing this, and he immediately retorted.

"That may not be the legendary Suzaku Heart. Maybe it's just a red stone." The man was still questioning.

"If Xu Fu hadn't cleaned up the Suzaku Heart, how could the Yang Qi in the sea of ​​fire be restored?" Zhang Kun's voice was a little louder, and he stared at the questioner and asked sternly.

"If it is really the heart of Suzaku, then why is it that only the Yang Qi in the sea of ​​fire has been restored?" The man refused to give in and stood up directly to confront Zhang Kun.

"Then there must be other reasons!"

Zhang Kun's momentum weakened at this time, because the other party was right. The lack of Yang Qi was so weird. The Yang Qi inside the Pengyun Mountain was restored, but it was still insufficient outside the mountain. This situation cannot be explained in any case.

There was silence in the stone house for a while.

"Teacher Xu Fu, do you know the reason?"

After a long time, a somewhat vicissitudes of voice sounded.

Everyone looked at the person who spoke, and at the ghost guest Yang Jinhuai whose hair was already graying.

Everyone can see that Guisu has aged very quickly in recent years. With wrinkles and gray hair, this old man from Suzaku has long lost his former charm.

Ma Yueming felt guilty. She glanced at Guisu and then turned to Xu Fu. She knew that Guisu worried about Suzaku just as much as she did. She became like this because she, the dean, had neglected her duty. At this time, Guisu asked Xu Fu for advice. Ma Yueming felt even more self-blame. He had encountered a catastrophe. No one at the Suzaku Academy had any clue, so he could only ask an "outsider". How helpless this was!

Ma Yueming felt as if a big stone was pressing on her chest. She was so suffocated that she wished she could open her chest to get some air. But she also knew that it would be of no use. If her blood could solve Suzaku's problem, she would There won't be any hesitation.

Not only Ma Yueming was sad, but the others sitting there also looked a little sad.

"I just have a guess, I have to take another look." Xu Fu replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"what?"

"What guess?"

"What did you find?"

……

Everyone in the stone house was shocked. This sentence was like throwing a huge boulder into a calm lake, causing an uproar. The originally suppressed stone house suddenly became noisy.

"I still need to verify it first, let's talk tomorrow." Xu Fu did not rush to express his guess, but said in a consultative tone.

"Teacher Xu Fu, please excuse me. We are waiting for your good news. If you need anything, please feel free to ask." Ma Yueming said calmly, but his voice was already trembling slightly. Xu Fu's words were like a life-saving straw for Ma Yueming to see. A glimmer of hope.

"Let's eat first! I'm really hungry." Xu Fu smiled a little embarrassedly. .

The masters in the stone house were startled at first, and then smiled. Xu Fu seemed to have told a very interesting joke, which made everyone feel a little relieved.

Zhang Kun reacted the fastest. When he heard that Xu Fu was hungry, he immediately left the ghost hotel, called Xu Fu, and left the stone house.

Zhang Kun did not take Xu Fu back to his residence, but went straight to the kitchen of Shanling Academy.

……

"Brother, tell me, what did you find?" Zhang Kun asked while pouring wine for Xu Fu.

"Wait a minute, I have to make sure again." Xu Fu replied with a bulging fish in his mouth.

The place where the two of them were at this time was next to the empty place where Cheng Xiang took Xu Fu to eat not long ago. Xu Fu originally thought that there was a place for taking meals, but when he entered, he discovered that there was a cave inside, with many empty rooms for people to eat.

In addition to several red-tailed fish, Zhang Kun also sent many other spiritual foods, but Xu Fu was still most interested in this fish, and soon ate a whole one himself.

"This fish is so delicious, you should eat it too!" Xu Fu praised and started to move on to the second fish.

"This red-tailed fish is the most famous fish within a thousand miles. Is there a story you want to hear?" Zhang Kun saw Xu Fu nodding and started telling it with a smile.

"It is said that more than a hundred years ago, there were two unnamed islands in the southernmost part of the East China Sea, which were uninhabited all year round. Later, several fishermen were blown there by wind and waves and saw a big fish with a red tail near the islands. So I caught one to eat and found it to be very delicious. I brought a few more when I came back, and was greatly praised by several famous diners, which made the fish famous all of a sudden. The two small islands also got their names from this. One is called Chiwei Island and the other is called Diaoyu Island.”

"It turns out that this fish is so hard to come by!" Xu Fu sighed. He didn't expect that this fish was caught from such a far away place.

"Unfortunately, a group of pirates came to the two islands later. They occupied the islands as kings and robbed passing ships. They were extremely cruel..."

"Ah? What happened next?" Xu Fu exclaimed. He originally thought that the story was over, but he didn't expect that there would be such a paragraph later.

"Later, the local city lord sent several groups of people to encircle and suppress them. Unfortunately, they all came back defeated. In the end, the city lord summoned all the young men in the city to fight with the pirates for eight days and eight nights..."

"Then what?" Xu Fu couldn't care less about eating fish at this time and asked hurriedly.

"The pirates were ferocious and bloodthirsty. Fortunately, these young men on the expedition were extremely brave and unafraid of death. In the end, they defeated the group of pirates at the cost of more than half of their losses. Most of the pirates were killed or injured, and only a few escaped by boat. .At the end of that battle, the nearby sea surface was full of broken arm remains. It is said that the blood dyed hundreds of feet of sea water near the two islands red..."

"It's really tragic!" Xu Fu sighed, but he admired these brave men from the bottom of his heart.

"Since then, the pirates have disappeared. This red-tailed fish may not like blood, so it no longer goes near those two islands. It has been breeding offshore, so that people nearby can have the opportunity to eat this delicious food."

"The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade." Xu Fu suddenly remembered a sentence in the book, picked up the wine glass in his hand, and whispered: "Respect the predecessors!"

Zhang Kun was startled for a moment, then understood in his heart, and also picked up the wine glass.

"Respect the predecessors!"

The two drank it all in one go.

After Xu Fu had eaten and the two left, Zhang Kun couldn't wait to ask Xu Fu his next plan.

"I still need some medicinal materials here. Can sister Liu Su help me find them?" Xu Fu asked first without answering.

"What medicinal materials?" Zhang Kun was puzzled. Isn't it supposed to solve the problem of lack of Yang Qi? How come medicinal materials are used?

"Astragalus, licorice, poria, Polygonatum odoratum, Panax notoginseng and Polygonum multiflorum, let's take a pound of each first." Xu Fu blurted out the six herbs.

"What is this used for?" Although Zhang Kun is not an alchemist and has no knowledge of pharmacology, she has never eaten pork and has always seen pigs running away. She knows that these are very common medicinal materials.

"Let me give it a try, I'm not sure whether it will work or not." Xu Fu said with a smile.

"Not sure? What if it doesn't work out..." Zhang Kun said worriedly.

"If it doesn't work, you can only hire someone else." Xu Fu answered calmly.

Zhang Kun was startled again, and then he realized Xu Fu's attitude towards this matter. To him, this was an indifferent matter. If he could help, he would help. If he couldn't help, there would be no burden. Thinking about it, he really didn't promise anything to anyone, it was just wishful thinking by Suzaku's group. Moreover, the most important point is that the rise and fall of Suzaku Spiritual Academy has nothing to do with him. The little friendship between Dean Ma Yueming and him has been squandered long ago because of the last incident. Now that it is calculated, it is Zhuque owes Xu Fu, but Xu Fu owes Zhuque nothing.

Zhang Kun had no complaints about Xu Fu's attitude. If it were her, she would have walked away long ago.

The two of them said goodbye. Although it was dark, Xu Fu had slept before and was not sleepy at this time, so he took advantage of the coolness of the night and walked around the mountain.

When he returned to his residence, he saw Zhang Kun already waiting there, holding a large wooden box in his hand.

Xu Fulie was a little surprised. In less than an hour, Zhang Kun had already found all the medicinal materials and delivered them. It showed that she was also very anxious.

"Do you need anything else?" Zhang Kun put the wooden box on the table, took away the food box on the table, and asked before leaving.

"No, just wait for my news."

Xu Fu said and began to count the medicinal materials.

"If you have anything, you can come to me at any time. It doesn't matter how late it is." Zhang Kun stood at the door, still a little worried.

"It's okay. Just come back tomorrow morning. The results will be available by then."

After Xu Fu sent Zhang Kun away, he closed the door and began his research.

I saw him carefully taking out two fairy fingers from his sleeve pocket and placing them on the table. These were the ones he had just picked in the mountains.

After making sure that no one was around, Xu Fu took off the alchemy furnace from his neck and fumbled around for a few times.

"Big."

Xu Fu put the alchemy furnace in the palm of his hand and shouted. The alchemy furnace immediately became as big as a water tank, which shocked Xu Fu.

But after placing the alchemy furnace, Xu Fu felt secretly happy. He knew that the alchemy furnace continued to grow in size with his cultivation. The larger the alchemy furnace, the higher his cultivation. This was of course something to be happy about. It's over.

"I wonder how many levels of cultivation you need to reach to grow so big?" Xu Fu thought about the huge alchemy furnace he saw in his dream, and secretly guessed in his heart.

With the alchemy furnace and medicinal materials available, Xu Fu stretched out his hand to summon the red beard fire and lit it on the fire gathering beads. In this way, everything was ready.

That's right, Xu Fu is going to make an elixir!
