Chapter 104: Demon Hunting
According to the records of the classics, Zhao Di accurately controlled the firepower of the innate true fire, and after about an hour, he finally smelled a trace of the medicinal fragrance of refining qi dispersing wafting out of the alchemy furnace. This is a harbinger of the imminent formation of the elixir. He waited for another moment, then put away the innate true fire, and couldn't wait to open the lid of the alchemy furnace.
As Zhao Di opened the lid of the furnace, a thick medicinal fragrance wafted out.
"Ci Dan!" Zhao Di muttered with a look of disappointment on his face, although more than a dozen pills the size of beans were refined in the alchemy furnace, there was not much spiritual energy and medicinal properties left, and it was a batch of Qi Gathering and Dispersing Pills.
It was probably because the furnace was opened a little earlier, and the pill was not stable, so the aura was emitted with medicinal properties, Zhao Di speculated in his heart.
There was still time, and he continued the next batch of Qi Gathering and Dispersion Refining.
It was still a delicate manipulation, but this time Zhao Di's patience was more sufficient, and he waited until the medicinal fragrance wafting out of the Dan furnace was better and richer before he stopped the innate true fire.
But when he opened the lid of the furnace, he smelled a hint of burnt smell, but in the Dan furnace, there was not even a single formed pill, but some charred black dregs and other things.
This time, the cake was even more grooved, and a completely useless and harmful waste dregs were refined.
That's it, Zhao Di refined five pots of pills in a row, and finally succeeded in refining more than a dozen Qi Gathering Pills in this sixth pot. He refined seven or eight batches in a row, and succeeded in two furnaces, and finally increased his success rate to about 20%.
Qi refining is known as the easiest pill elixir to refine, but he only has a success rate of less than 30%, which is really a very untalented performance. As far as he knew, the most primary-level alchemist Liu Yingying's refining power in gathering qi was as high as more than sixty percent!
A sheep's bleating sound came from miles away, and the first demon beast came to the door!
Zhao Di immediately stopped continuing to refine the pill, stepped on the wind Jiao, and rushed in the direction where the voice came from.
A moment later, he saw a giant crab with a red body and the size of five or six feet was waving two huge crab claws and climbing onto the island.
It just glanced at Zhao Di in mid-air, then ignored it and went straight towards the Tianxiang Illusion Array.
"Zhiyang Crab, the first one to take the bait turned out to be a fifth-level demon beast!" Zhao Di said softly, he took out a red magic disk with a trace of lightning flashing, and a magic trick hit it, immediately triggering the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Array.
In an instant, there was a flash of lightning and thunder beside the giant crab, and more than a dozen fire snakes sprang out from the ground, rushing towards the giant crab and stopping the giant crab in the formation.
Without waiting for the giant crab to respond, Zhao Di's sleeve robe shook, and twenty or thirty light clusters fell from the brush, landing on the ground behind the giant crab, turning into twenty or thirty life-size puppets.
As soon as these puppets landed, under Zhao Di's order, they quickly took out a medium-grade spirit tool with a shield or bow from the animal skin pouch behind them.
The golems stood in three rows, and the eight golems in the closest row to the Cancer were holding shields in both hands, opening several defensive shields to protect themselves and the golems behind them. The last two rows of golems are armed with various longbows.
Zhao Di sent another command through his divine sense, and the puppet holding the longbow pulled the bowstring in unison, shooting at the giant crab wave after wave.
The aura of different colors transformed into fire snakes, golden knives, wooden spears, ice picks, water arrows, spikes, etc., and attacked the giant crab like an overwhelming force.
This wave of attacks was like twenty or thirty foundation building period monks casting spells at the same time, even the fifth-level demon beast giant crab showed an anthropomorphic look of fear in its big bronze bell-like eyes.
The Cancer's jaws erupted into a mist of fire, encircling itself as its pincers danced wildly, blocking the attacks.
But the attacks of the twenty or thirty longbows that kept firing were too dense, and most of the attacks hit the Cancer's fire mist, but they were blocked by the fire mist.
After two or three waves of attacks were defused by the giant crab, Zhao Di, who planned to fight quickly, no longer hesitated, and directly sacrificed the top-grade spirit tool Blazing Sky Blade. He was in mid-air, his hands gripping the hilt of the Blazing Sky Blade and swinging it hard at the Cancer.
A fire dragon more than ten zhang long, with teeth and claws, flew out of the blade and headed straight for the giant crab.
The cancer was so frightened that he didn't care about other attacks, and he was about to flee for his life when his eight claws moved sideways. If it is in the sea, the giant crab is extremely fast, or it can really escape. But on the island, it was obvious that the speed of the fire dragon was much faster, and the fire dragon swept around the giant crab, swallowing all the fire mist, revealing the giant crab's body.
At this time, a burst of golden knives, ice picks and other attacks came to the crab again, and the crab's twin pincers waved wildly, but they could only resist half of the attack.
Soon, the giant crab's body was pierced through more than a dozen large holes under the attack of these golden knives and icicles transformed by spiritual power, and he was killed on the spot.
Zhao Di groped among the giant crab corpses for a while, and took out an inch-sized fiery red ball, which was the fifth-level demon pill of this demon.
Then he took out a black vial, and used the soul attraction technique to slowly take out the soul of the demon beast and put it into the bottle.
This soul-attracting technique requires a high level of divine consciousness, and generally speaking, it can only be used by monks in the middle stage of foundation building. However, Zhao Di's divine sense was far stronger than that of a monk of the same level, and in the half year that the imperial weapon was flying, he had the mentality of giving it a try, and he comprehended this soul-attracting technique, and he mastered this spell without much effort.
Although it was not clear what the demon soul of the high-level demon beast was for, he still would not waste it by destroying the heavenly things. Since the price of this demon soul is quite expensive, it is quite popular, and it will naturally be useful in the future.
Zhao Di glanced at the corpse of the giant crab again, his cuffs shook, and with a flash of silver light, he cut off a pair of giant pincers of the giant crab and put them in the storage bag.
Zhao Di was a little disdainful of the other materials of the giant crab, and with a flick of his fingers, a fireball flew out, turning the corpse of the demon beast into ashes.
Then he put away all the twenty or thirty puppets, closed the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Array, and hid in the hidden magic circle in the center of the island, and continued to specialize in his alchemy method.
It didn't take long for another fourth-level demon beast to climb onto the island. This time, Zhao Di did not use the Blazing Sky Blade, and easily killed it with just a round of onslaught from the puppet.
Zhao Di still collected the demon pill and demon soul of this demon beast and some materials, and then returned to the hidden magic circle.
In this way, Zhao Di stayed on this island for five days, and during this period, a total of seven or eight demon beasts landed on the island, and they were all killed by him one by one.
According to his estimates, the demon beasts within hundreds of miles in this vicinity should have been attracted to the island by the Tianxiang Illusion Array, so he withdrew all kinds of magic circles, packed up everything, and left the island on the Wind Jiao.
A few days later, he settled down on another similar island, laid a net, and quietly waited for the arrival of the demon beast.
With the help of the Heavenly Fragrance Illusion Array and a group of puppets, Zhao Di's efficiency in hunting demon beasts was amazing, he only stayed on a small island for a few days, but the harvest was equivalent to a year or even years of hard work for other monks!
In just half a year, Zhao Di not only obtained nearly a hundred third- to fifth-level demon pills, but also various rare demon beast materials. Ordinary demon beast materials were already difficult to enter his magic eyes, and they were directly burned to ashes along with the corpses of demon beasts. If this scene is seen by other demon hunters, it will have to be wasted!
In addition, after spending a lot of raw materials to practice alchemy techniques repeatedly, Zhao Di also made small progress in alchemy. Now, he began to use the third-level demon pill to refine the Peiji Dan, an elixir that could improve the cultivation of monks in the early stage of foundation building, which was just right for his current realm.
This Pei Ji Dan requires three third-level demon pills as the main material, two of which are more common on Island Five, and Zhao Di has a lot of them, and the other one is very rare on Island Five, Zhao Di only has seven or eight pieces, and they are all purchased in Fang City. These were only enough for him to refine seven or eight furnaces. Therefore, he had to have a certain degree of confidence in his alchemy before he dared to refine this Pei Ji Dan.
This is also why Zhao Di wants to start learning alchemy from the most basic Qi refining stage elixir, because the raw materials of the primary elixir are relatively cheap and large, so he can try his hand at will. While constantly improving his alchemy level, he also got a large amount of "by-products", that is, a bunch of primary pills and secondary pills in the Qi refining period, from Qi Gathering Dispersion, Qingling Pill to a better marrow cleansing pill, there are a lot.
Although these pills were useless to Zhao Di, it would be a pity to throw them away, so Zhao Di still found a few wooden boxes and put away all these pills.
