Chapter 14: Dangerous Refining
That night, Chu Tian closed his eyes and recalled, and then made a detailed list of the raw materials needed to make the Explosive Flame Pearl.
The next afternoon, he took the opportunity to go out and began to go in and out of shops frantically, buying a lot.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion from those who are interested, he completely messed up all the raw materials and selected at least ten suppliers.
In this way, no one could figure out what raw materials were needed to make the Explosive Flame Pearl.
In just over an hour, all 20 medium-grade spirit stones were spent, and Chu Tian became a pauper again.
Because he was worried that some explosions might occur during the production process and attract the attention of everyone in the Marquis' Mansion, Chu Tian quietly left Qianyang Marquis' Mansion in the middle of the night and found a hidden cave outside the city to prepare for secret experiments.
The area inside the cave was quite wide, and several torches on the wall were burning slowly.
Chu Tian sat cross-legged on the ground, took out a large number of raw materials from the storage ring, piled them beside him, and then closed his eyes and carefully recalled the entire process and precautions of making the Explosive Flame Pearl.
After a moment, Chu Tian opened his eyes again, took a deep breath, picked up a transparent spirit bead beside him, held it in his left hand, and then picked up another piece of fire attribute material and held it in his right hand.
"Boy, making an explosive flame bead is quite dangerous. You must be careful and don't blow yourself up."
Ba Lao reminded.
Chu Tian hummed, and a large amount of fire attribute spiritual power in his right hand was instantly drawn out and entered Chu Tian's body, and then quickly poured into the transparent spirit bead.
The transparent spirit bead immediately turned red.
The first step in refining an explosive flame bead is to pour a large amount of fire attribute spiritual essence into the spirit bead until it is full, and then perform a secret technique to compress it continuously.
After compression to a certain extent, continue to pour fire attribute spiritual essence into the spirit bead, and then continue to compress and pour it in, and repeat the whole process continuously until it can no longer be poured in.
Since the spirit bead is infused with terrifying energy, it will become extremely unstable. Therefore, when making the Explosive Flame Bead, it is necessary to use certain seal techniques to seal the spirit bead so that it can be truly preserved for a long time.
"The third time it has been infused..."
After a while, Chu Tian looked down at the red spirit bead in his left hand, and a little sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead.
So far, everything has been going well. Making the Explosive Flame Bead does not seem to be as dangerous as Ba Lao said.
However, just a breath later, the red spirit bead suddenly began to flicker constantly and became extremely unstable. There seemed to be a stream of high-temperature turbulence running inside.
"Not good!"
In a blink of an eye, the speed of the spirit bead flickering reached a terrifying level, and Chu Tian hurriedly threw the spirit bead out with force.
Bang!
The spirit bead just flew into the air and exploded directly. A large amount of red flames immediately rushed in all directions at high speed.
Chu Tian collected the materials, hurriedly stood up, and retreated several steps, barely avoiding the impact of the flames.
Looking at the messy cave, Chu Tian sat down again with a gloomy face, and began to recall the entire production process just now, reflecting on what went wrong.
Ba Lao stayed in the Immortal Sword and did not speak.
At this moment, he wanted to examine whether Chu Tian had the ability to independently produce the Explosive Flame Pearl and then take on his other important task!
After a moment of serious reflection, Chu Tian took out the raw materials again and started the second attempt.
First injection and compression!
Second injection and compression!
Third injection and compression!
…
After a cup of tea, Chu Tian was about to start the fifth injection of spiritual essence, and the red spiritual pearl suddenly flashed violently, and the violent turbulence inside could rush out at any time.
Chu Tian calmed down, put the flashing spiritual pearl in front of him, and began to pinch his hands quickly, shooting a series of spiritual rays into the spiritual pearl.
Gradually, the flashing on the surface of the spiritual pearl became much slower and finally disappeared.
"Huh... Fortunately, I practiced these hand seals in advance."
Chu Tian let out a long breath, picked up the red spirit bead again, and continued to pour spiritual essence into it.
Seeing this scene, Ba Lao nodded secretly. Although Chu Tian was a little shameless, it must be said that his courage and patience were definitely beyond ordinary people.
In the situation just now, if he was not careful, the violent spirit bead would explode directly and seriously injure Chu Tian.
But Chu Tian was patient and suppressed the violent spirit bead.
Soon, another quarter of an hour passed.
Chu Tian had completed seven times of spiritual essence pouring and compression, and now he was preparing for the eighth time of spiritual essence pouring.
At this time, the spirit bead was extremely red and hot like a fireball. You could vaguely see wisps of tiny flames wandering around inside.
"Boy, considering that you are still a novice, you have already performed beyond your level by being able to compress seven times. It's almost done. You can set the seal."
After being silent for a long time, Ba Lao advised.
He was very satisfied with Chu Tian's inspection this time.
After getting started, he was able to inject and compress seven times, which was extremely rare even in his hometown.
"No!" Chu Tian shook his head, his eyes full of confidence, "I am sure that I can inject and compress it at least once more!"
"Boy, you are really crazy!"
Ba Lao cursed, thinking that Chu Tian was simply risking his life.
Chu Tian ignored Ba Lao's curse and continued to pick up a piece of fire attribute material and began the eighth injection and compression of spiritual essence.
Strands of fire attribute spiritual essence flowed into the spirit bead through Chu Tian's body, and the originally calm spirit bead suddenly became violent again.
Chu Tian ignored it and continued to inject the remaining fire attribute spiritual essence into it.
In an instant, the violence inside the red spirit bead reached an unprecedented extreme, and countless red lights on the surface flashed wildly, as if it could not bear it at any time.
"Boy, throw away the spirit bead quickly!"
Ba Lao shouted anxiously.
Chu Tian was sweating profusely, clenching his teeth, and completely ignored Ba Lao's warning. He waved his ten fingers repeatedly and made a series of seals towards the red spirit bead.
After the spirit energy inside the spirit bead calmed down a little, Chu Tian suddenly changed his hand seals and began to compress the spirit energy.
This time, it seemed to stimulate the spirit bead, and the spirit energy inside became extremely violent again, and it was much more violent than before.
Chu Tian was sweating all over, his eyes were fixed on the spirit bead flashing wildly in front of him, and the whole person seemed to be in a trance, and continued to compress.
"Boy, you are playing with fire!"
Ba Lao flew out of the storage ring in an instant.
He looked at Chu Tian with anger on his face, clenched his fists, as if he was going to attack angrily, and severely teach Chu Tian a lesson to make Chu Tian regain his mind.
However, he still suppressed his anger, with a serious expression on his face, and secretly prepared himself. As long as the spirit bead exploded, he would instantly attack and save Chu Tian.
Unknowingly, more than ten breaths passed.
The spiritual power inside the red spirit bead has been compressed to a very scary degree, and the speed of the red light flashing on the surface has exceeded the limit that the human eye can observe.
Obviously, the spirit bead is about to explode!
"Seal!"
At the critical moment, a low shout suddenly came from Chu Tian's mouth.
At the same time, the seal on his hand suddenly changed, and a group of red gas that could barely be seen by the naked eye appeared out of thin air between his fingers, instantly wrapped the red spirit bead, and then firmly attached to the surface of the spirit bead.
The next breath, with a bang, the spirit bead fell heavily to the ground, and everything returned to calm.
"What!"
Ba Lao looked at the red spirit bead lying quietly on the ground in great surprise, and was a little speechless for a while.
Chu Tian was soaked all over, panting, and his eyes were full of stars. He looked down at the red spirit bead in front of him, and a smug smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Boy, I didn't expect that you actually refined the eighth-level explosive flame bead!"
A ray of light flashed in Ba Lao's eyes.
This bastard boy always refreshes his cognition again and again. He refined an eighth-level Explosive Flame Pearl after just the initial start. If this is reported back to his hometown, I wonder how many people will be shocked!
"Eighth-level Explosive Flame Pearl?"
Chu Tian was stunned when he heard this, but he instantly understood what Ba Lao meant.
After several injections and compressions of spiritual essence, it is called a certain level of Explosive Flame Pearl.
"Ba Lao, in the stage of the Body Refining Realm, how many levels of Explosive Flame Pearl have you seen at most?"
Chu Tian suddenly asked.
Ba Lao smiled and said, "Haha, this eighth-level Explosive Flame Pearl you refined is enough to threaten the warriors of the eighth level of the Body Refining Realm. If you can refine a tenth-level Explosive Flame Pearl, then it can threaten the warriors who have just entered the Spiritual Condensation Realm."
"Tenth level?"
Chu Tian whispered secretly.
Immediately, he clenched his fist slightly. Sooner or later, he will refine a tenth-level Explosive Flame Pearl, so that the speed at which he makes money will be greatly accelerated.
Chu Tian picked up the slightly heavy Explosive Flame Pearl, played with it for a few times, and put it away.
After resting for a while, Chu Tian continued to refine it.
As he already had some experience, although the third refining was thrilling, Chu Tian finally succeeded in refining an eighth-level Explosive Flame Pearl again.
One night passed quickly.
Before dawn, Chu Tian walked out of the cave, his face full of fatigue.
He gently stroked the black ring on his right index finger and nodded with satisfaction.
In the black ring, there were nine Explosive Flame Pearls, six of which were eighth-level and the other three were seventh-level.
"It's time to go back!"
Chu Tian looked back and left quickly.
During the day, he endured the fatigue all over his body and continued to work in the Garbage Bureau. After leaving the Hou Mansion in the afternoon, he said goodbye to Bai Lao and others and sneaked into an alley quietly.
A few breaths later, a figure wearing a loose black robe and a dark mask on his face walked out of the alley. After briefly identifying the direction, he quickly merged into the crowd.
Not long after, the black-robed figure stopped in front of a dark-colored attic. He looked up at the three large gold-plated characters "Luoshui Pavilion" hanging above the attic door, raised his hand to adjust the dark mask, and walked in.
