Chapter 62: Casting Medicine Cauldron
Semi-open casting table position!
After Zhou Quan brought Xu Haoyu over, he shook his hands, and then streams of black light flew out from the ring in his hand and fell to the ground, revealing their true appearance. It turned out that they were pieces of various large and small minerals.
After taking out the ores, Zhou Quan took out a parchment scroll, handed it to Xu Haoyu, and said to him:
"Take a look at this. This is the shape of the medicine cauldron I designed for you. If you have any requirements, you can raise them now."
Xu Haoyu took the parchment scroll and opened it. He saw a medicine cauldron depicted on the parchment scroll. It was lifelike and very realistic. There were also flame patterns on the outer wall of the cauldron.
Xu Haoyu liked this medicine cauldron very much, but suddenly he had an idea and planned to engrave a black and white fish on it, which is the origin of the yin and yang flames.
Xu Haoyu quickly told Zhou Quan all his requirements. Zhou Quan nodded continuously and finally said:
"a piece of cake!"
After saying this, he took the parchment scroll again and made some changes on it. Soon, a new medicine cauldron appeared on the parchment scroll.
Xu Haoyu liked it more and more, so he decided to buy it.
At this time Zhou Quan said to Xu Haoyu:
"The next step is to smelt the ore. You have the strange fire, so I'll leave this step to you. You can do better than me in smelting the ore using the strange fire."
Xu Haoyu did not refuse. He walked forward and raised his hand. Then a ball of black and white flame ignited in his palm. He shook his hand and threw the flame out.
Then he formed a seal with his hands, using the Danhuo technique to transform fire into gas. Then the black and white flames suddenly began to surge, then kept changing shapes, and finally condensed into a huge furnace.
Zhou Quan obviously knew that this was a unique skill of the Canaan College's Alchemy Department, the Danhuo Technique. Seeing Xu Haoyu using it so skillfully, he was amazed.
Then he instructed Xu Haoyu to throw pieces of ore into the furnace. Under the blazing flames inside the furnace, the pieces of ore melted and the residue was peeled off, leaving only the essence.
While Xu Haoyu was refining the ore, he actually found some of the feeling of refining medicinal materials. As a fifth-grade alchemist, he was not only adept at refining medicinal materials, but also at refining ore with ease.
In just half a day, except for the meteorite iron, all other ores had been refined to extract their essence, and finally merged into a ball of red and boiling molten iron.
Zhou Quan said seriously:
"Right now, let's melt the meteorite iron again and add it to the molten iron."
Xu Haoyu nodded and responded:
"it is good!"
As soon as he said this, he grabbed the last piece of meteorite and threw it into the furnace. The meteorite had been tempered and now it just needed to be melted again.
Suddenly, Xu Haoyu had an idea. This piece of meteorite from outer space could carry both Yin and Yang flames, so it must be extraordinary.
So, he manipulated the Yin and Yang dual flames, and infused the Yin and Yang energies that he had gradually become familiar with over the days into the meteorite through the burning flames.
As the meteorite melted, the yin and yang energies were also melted into it. Gradually, a faint black and white light began to bloom on the molten iron, which was extremely magical and extraordinary.
After doing all this, Xu Haoyu mixed the molten iron from the melted meteorite with the molten iron from other ores. With a hissing sound, the originally fiery red molten iron actually emitted a black and white light, with the yin and yang energies flowing in it, as if there were tiny flames burning.
Zhou Quan noticed all this, but he just thought it was a special effect of the Yin-Yang dual flame. After all, this was a strange fire, and he didn't know exactly what kind of ability it had. Then, Zhou Quan pinched the seal in his hand, and waves of fighting spirit surged out of his body. He said in a deep voice:
"Haoyu, I will tell you a secret now. The most fundamental difference between us foundry masters and blacksmiths is that we can use the magic to use Dou Qi to condense the objects to be cast, and then pour them with molten iron, and finally they can be formed into one piece."
"It is no longer necessary to hammer and polish repeatedly like an ordinary blacksmith. This is not an ordinary condensation of fighting spirit, but a real use of fighting spirit to create objects, the art of condensing weapons!"
As his voice fell, the deep yellow fighting spirit he released gradually changed in mid-air and gradually condensed bit by bit.
Xu Haoyu watched intently until a medicine cauldron was condensed by the deep yellow fighting spirit. The shape of this medicine cauldron was exactly the same as the one on the parchment scroll.
Zhou Quan roared and said:
"Now, pour the molten iron in for pouring."
Xu Haoyu immediately did as he was told. He took a deep breath, released his soul's perception, then lifted the furnace, gradually tilting it over to pour out the molten iron inside.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
The boiling molten iron entered the medicine cauldron, emitting white smoke as it flowed to every corner of the cauldron, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, without a single gap.
After all the molten iron was poured in, he waited quietly for it to solidify. Time passed by minute by minute, from day to night, and the medicine cauldron finally cooled down.
With a bang, as Zhou Quan withdrew his fighting spirit, the medicine cauldron fell heavily to the ground. Xu Haoyu walked over and looked it up and down carefully.
I saw that this medicine cauldron was more than one meter high, and its main body was black and white, with black flame patterns and white flame patterns interlaced and intertwined with each other.
In front of the medicine cauldron, there were two fish, one black and one white, chasing each other. The black fish was chasing the white fish's tail, and the white fish was chasing the black fish's tail.
Xu Haoyu put his hand on it. The surface of the medicine cauldron was still very hot, but it was no problem for him.
A special feeling appeared in Xu Haoyu's heart. There seemed to be a faint connection between him and the strange fire, between the strange fire and the medicine cauldron, and between him and the medicine cauldron.
Xu Haoyu was very sure that this medicine cauldron might not be the most powerful one, but for him, it must be the most suitable one.
Turning to look at Zhou Quan, Xu Haoyu bowed solemnly and said:
"Thank you, Elder. This medicine cauldron has greatly improved my medicine refining."
After saying that, Xu Haoyu took out his Fire Crystal Card, handed it to Zhou Quan, and asked him to collect the fee.
Zhou Quan was not polite either. He took Xu Haoyu's fire crystal card and transferred 3500 points of fire energy from it. Fire energy was the universal currency in the inner courtyard. Even if the elders like them wanted to enter the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower to practice, they still had to pay fire energy.
But then, when Zhou Quan returned the Fire Crystal Card, he also gave Xu Haoyu a scroll and said with a smile:
"This is the art of condensing soldiers. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can recast this medicine cauldron. Perhaps you can really make it enter the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking."
Xu Haoyu did not refuse and took it all. He would find a chance to repay the favor in the future:
"Then I won't be polite."
For the medicine cauldron, how about calling it the Yin-Yang Cauldron?
