Zhou Xuan said as he was about to walk towards the Inner Hall,
Alchemist Bai Lu called him again and said, "Mr., don’t be in such a hurry to leave, there’s one more technique I haven’t taught you yet."
Originally, "Opening Furnace Fire" and "Closing Furnace Fire" both have their knowledge. How to use the least material to exchange for the fiercest furnace fire, there is a technique involved.
But techniques can’t rival those two big fish,
He felt unfulfilled in teaching, so he could only indulge himself in other steps.
"I just don’t believe that I can’t teach Mr. something today."
Alchemist Bai Lu somewhat indulges in the habit of "enjoying teaching others."
"The fire is already ignited, what other technique is there?" Zhou Xuan asked.
"Igniting fire is only one, we also have to listen to fire."
Alchemist Bai Lu said.
"Listen to fire? Can this fire also be listened to?" Zhou Xuan asked.
"Naturally."
Alchemist Bai Lu threw three wedding doll "fragments" into the furnace and closed the furnace gate, then put his ear closer while beckoning to Zhou Xuan,
"Mr., the fire in the pill furnace is not unchanging; in fact, the fire changes in myriad ways, sometimes the Qian Position in the furnace is hotter, sometimes the Kun Position is hotter,
these fire intensities are beyond our control, but if we know how to listen to fire, we can discern where the fire is strongest, and then throw the materials into those places."
"How should one listen to the fire then?"
Alchemist Bai Lu said, "When the material is burned by the fire, it emits some melting sounds, these sounds are extremely nuanced and varied,
if the sound is too weak, the melting is not quick enough, which indicates that our current material position is not in the zone of strong fire, next time, when opening the furnace, we should throw the materials elsewhere."
After saying this, he pretended to listen for a while and said, "Now the melting is not quick enough, need to change the position for material throwing."
He opened the furnace gate again and grabbed three pieces of broken flesh and said, "Last time we threw in the Shen position, this time let’s switch to the Kun position."
After Alchemist Bai Lu spoke, he threw the broken flesh in his hand into the Kun position in the pill furnace.
In the pill furnace, according to the positions of the Eight Trigrams, it is divided into "Kan, Li, Qian, Kun, Shen..." and other areas.
Zhou Xuan understood and said, "Isn’t this just using stones to ask directions?"
"Yes, it’s using stones to ask directions, but the pill furnace is sealed; you must listen to the fire to accurately ask for directions. Try listening."
Under Bai Lu’s urging, Zhou Xuan also brought his ear closer.
However, what he heard was not the sound of material melting, what he mainly heard was the sound of a doll crying.
"Didn’t hear anything, did you? You must hold your breath and calm your spirit, from the crying sound of the materials, hear the sound of materials melted by fire, fine as a mosquito’s buzzing."
Alchemist Bai Lu was somewhat proud,
"I told you I can teach Mr. something."
He said secretly,
And Zhou Xuan, listening to Bai Lu’s words, began to hold his breath and calm down. However, when he became serious, the first thing he heard was the sound of "beetle wing flapping."
The White Cicada inside him unexpectedly was rubbing its wings.
Then, the five alchemy workers in the hall experienced a feeling of "incense" being withdrawn.
Their five strands of incense all infused into Zhou Xuan’s body.
In the Ancient Hall, there was originally no incense, but in the headgear of those five alchemy workers, there was the presence of Storage Fragrance Worms.
And the White Cicada inside Zhou Xuan was itself a bug from the Heavenly Fire Clan, naturally able to control the flow of incense.
The incense poured into his body, Zhou Xuan then obtained perception—his perception was like a thin, invisible thread, piercing into the furnace, connecting with the azure and crimson two-tailed big fish.
Once this connection formed, the eyes of the azure and crimson two-tailed big fish became Zhou Xuan’s eyes.
Zhou Xuan saw an endless sea of fire,
However, these seas of fire had places where the fire was vigorous, like rolling clouds of flame,
and some places where the fire was weak, mixed with dense black dots. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Zhou Xuan, observing the fire with his eyes, no longer hesitated, opened the furnace gate, grabbed the wedding doll fragments, and threw them into the fire one by one,
This frightened Alchemist Bai Lu, he kept pulling Zhou Xuan’s hand, saying, "Mr., Mr., what are you doing—these materials are not easily obtained, cannot be squandered like this!"
