Chapter 455: Changes in the Furnace, Dan Ding Storm

Chapter 455: Changes in the Furnace, Dan Ding Storm Lin Jue strictly followed the method of alchemy. The spell was chanted once a day and the magic was cast once an hour. The gold melted into water and the golden elf rhythm was refined. In the process, the original thousand taels of gold were slowly consumed by the spells and magic. The world's situation is changing outside the window, and the general trend often sounds at the door: "Reporting to Master Lin, on this year's Autumnal Equinox, the King of Yue personally led an army of 300,000 to the north. Storytellers in the capital said that the King of Yue in the south has finally stepped to the center of the world's stage." Wan Xinrong said to him at the door. "There are also rumors among the people that the Xuantian Temple in Qiyun Mountain, Huizhou, also stands with the King of Yue. I wonder if it will cause trouble for the Taoist priests in Zhenjian Palace." "understood." "By the way, recently there have been dignitaries in the city coming to give us visiting cards and gifts. They gather at the door and never leave." "Drive away." "Yes!" In the quiet room, the fire was burning brightly, and golden light was shining brightly. Lin Jue took out a bottle and was not in a hurry to put it in.

It depends on the timing and the spirit, and there can be no mistakes. This time it was at three minutes past three. The sunlight came into the house, casting shadows on the diamond-shaped window. Time is up! "Boom~" The cork was opened and the jade bottle tilted. A ray of light poured down from the mouth of the bottle, orange-red with a hint of fire, hot and magnificent. It was exactly the beautiful morning glow after the storm and thunderstorm had passed and the sky and earth were cleansed. "Canopy!" There was an explosion in the alchemy furnace, and a bit of smoke rose. Even the fox that was burning the fire couldn't help but raise its head and look into the furnace in confusion. But I saw that the furnace was just like the sky that day, with the morning glow at its peak. There was an inexplicable breath spreading out, which was actually a spiritual charm and revealed endless vitality, as if it was the beginning of a world. In a trance, it seemed to pull the man and the fox back to that early morning. I just felt that I was not in the quiet room, not beside the alchemy furnace, not today, but in the Ehead Mountain that morning. It even flew away to the east. Straight into the depths of the morning glow in the sky. I don’t know if it was a coincidence or something else, but the morning glow in the capital city was also absolutely beautiful that day. This went on for nearly a hundred days. The outside world also went from summer to winter. "Reporting to Master Lin, there is news from outside that there is chaos in the north! It is that Shu Xianwen. It is said that he treats other princes too harshly and cruelly. Several princes have united to rebel against him. Shu Xianwen's son-in-law, General Luo Seng, is leading troops to suppress the rebellion. Wherever the troops go, they are unstoppable. Many generals and soldiers under the command of those princes have surrendered to General Luo. Now General Luo is in the limelight in the north and has unparalleled momentum.

“However, the imperial court gained some lifespan because of this, and there hasn’t been any major chaos in the capital, and no one has come to disturb the immortal from refining the elixir. "When they first heard that the Master had returned to Beijing, they often came to the door to drop off greeting cards and give gifts. I don't know if we chased them away a few times, or if the Master has never left the house. They haven't come these days." There was another explosion in the room. "Canopy!" It was the brilliant and magnificent sunset of the Western Regions, majestic and tranquil, as if it were thrown into a furnace with a bit of wind and sand. Originally, the furnace was full of vitality, and there seemed to be unpredictable changes. When it encountered the sunset light, it was as if the cold and heat were neutralized, and it immediately became quiet. They neutralize each other, but do not disappear. The morning glow from the East China Sea has infinite vitality and infinite changes. It was originally insufficient and limited in the furnace. The evening glow from the Western Regions not only makes it gentle, but also seems to give it endless space, allowing it to slowly display its vitality and changes. Ginger will last another year. “There are many rumors about Lord Luo in the north, saying that he wants to replace Shuxianwen and that he is the real dragon, so Shuxianwen is suspicious of Lord Luo. "Shuxianwen summoned Lord Luo to see him twice. The first time, Lord Luo took the initiative to give up the cities and troops he had conquered from other princes. However, after the news spread, people soon said that Lord Luo had a sense of justice, and more people came to join him. The second time, Shuxianwen held a Hongmen Banquet. Fortunately, Lord Luo was a martial arts expert, and his personal soldiers fought desperately and broke out of the siege. "This happened twice. Instead of weakening Lord Luo, it made him feel righteous. The world worshipped him as a hero. Although he obeyed Shu Xianwen on the surface, he no longer accepted his orders." Three pounds of Nanshan stone were thrown into the furnace. At this time, the alchemy furnace was filled with blazing flames and boundless spiritual energy. As soon as the Nanshan stone was thrown into it, it was instantly turned into powder, and the spiritual energy seeped out. "Rumble..." The alchemy furnace suddenly began to tremble, as if it was about to fly off the ground or explode. "Master Lin! The imperial court was unable to withstand the simultaneous attacks from the north and south. It has been losing ground since the beginning of spring this year. Now the imperial court only has the three states of Zhongzhou, Qinzhou and Yuzhou left. The nearest army in the north is only a few hundred miles away from the capital, and the army of the King of Yue is also approaching the capital by a thousand miles. The two sides even fought a battle in Wuzhou, suffering heavy losses! "The world is in complete chaos, people are rising up everywhere, one after another, each wanting to be the future emperor. "Now that the emperor is seriously ill, the government affairs have been handed over to the prince. Some time ago, the prince summoned the Taoist priest of Zhenjian Palace for questioning. It is said that Taoist priest Qingxuan voluntarily went to prison as a hostage to prove that Zhenjian Palace had never participated in the rebellion of King Yue. Zhenjian Palace is very popular in the capital, and now the prince dare not do anything to him. "Some people also say that the court wants to confer the title of King of Yue, give him a title, and lead him to bypass Qinzhou and go north to fight against the north." A snort! Pour two liters of Beibao Spring into the alchemy furnace. The alchemy furnace, which had been shaking for nearly a hundred days, finally calmed down. At this time, there was already an amazing spiritual charm in the furnace. Even if the elixir came out at this time, it would be a rare elixir in the world. The endless changes of vitality and the vast and boundless tranquility seemed to be a beginning and an end. It strengthened the body and warmed the soul. If it was eaten by ordinary animals and birds, I am afraid it could immediately achieve enlightenment. In the process of refining the elixir, it seemed as if I was re-experiencing and re-understanding the path I had walked and the spiritual charm I had absorbed. I have gained some insights and also gained some things. The "fog" in my heart that shrouds the road to realization has given me the feeling several times that "the clouds will be cleared and the light will be seen", but it is always just a little short of it. “Master Lin, the emperor does not want to be the ruler of a fallen country, so he gave up his throne to the crown prince. The crown prince ascended the throne today, but both the south and the north are unable to hold on, and both sides seem to want to invade the capital before the other. "Yesterday afternoon, for some unknown reason, a rosy glow suddenly appeared in the capital. It was neither morning nor evening, neither in the east nor in the west, but right above the capital. The people of the capital said it was an auspicious sign for the crown prince to ascend to the throne, but some people also said that someone was cultivating immortality or refining elixirs in the capital."

There was a sudden bang in the furnace! The thousand-year-old fire ginseng is thrown into the furnace. A hot air blew towards him, and flames rushed out directly from the furnace. They were hotter than the spiritual fire of Fuyao and her junior sister, and almost pounced on Lin Jue's body and the wall. Fortunately, Lin Jue was wearing fire-washed clothes and the paintings on the wall were taken down in advance. The blaze never went out and the fire continued all night long, which gave the junior sister and the fox a sigh of relief. They didn't need to cast spells to set fires here during this period of time. "Master, the crown prince ascended the throne and first cleared up the government. Many officials from Longzhou in the north and Huizhou in the south were implicated. An official named Wang came to ask for an audience with an old letter, saying that he was a fellow villager of Master Lin and that the elders in his family had a relationship with Master Lin. He wanted to ask Master Lin for help. Uncle Zhou let him in. It seems that Master Lin had given him instructions?" "It is true. That is the fate I made many years ago, the promise I made many years ago. Please let him in and let him live in the side hall. No matter who comes, you must not send him away." "Yes……" The rest time for Junior Sister and the fox was not long. In less than a month, Lin Jue had put in the top-grade golden essence. Use gold to contain fire, and use fire to refine gold. The temperature in the room finally dropped. Such an extremely hot spiritual energy was extremely tormenting even for Lin Jue, let alone being here day and night. “Master, Shu Xianwen is dead. “It is said to be the armor-removing wind. “But Lord Nan also said that Shu Xianwen was the Martial God from the north who had descended to earth. It is very likely that the gods from the north saw that another outstanding person had emerged in the north, who had more dragon energy, and that even if the Martial God descended to earth, he would be doomed to lose to him. Therefore, they took Shu Xianwen away in advance and let the Martial God go back. "Shu Xianwen's son took over his military power, but his subordinates refused to acknowledge him, beheaded his son, and surrendered to Lord Luo." A piece of swallow egg incense fell into the furnace. Countless green smoke suddenly came out of the furnace, carrying an endless fragrance that made people feel pleasant when they smelled it. It is inevitable that some fragrance and charm will leak out. The people nearby smelled it and thought it was a strange fragrance. Some people caught a cold, some had minor illnesses, but the amazing thing is that after smelling this fragrance, they actually got better. When the news spread, many people came to visit. Unfortunately, the fragrance didn't last long. "Master Lin, there are rumors in the capital that a master is refining elixirs that can cure diseases by smelling them and make you immortal by eating them. Recently, there are obviously more people wandering outside the yard, and there are also playful children who climb over the wall to look inside after hearing the rumors. We have no choice but to scold them." A pill of earthly elixir contains all spiritual charm. All of a sudden, all the strange phenomena seemed to disappear, and there was nothing left in the furnace except fire. "call……" Lin Jue let out a long breath.

The situation in the world is like the smoke and clouds in a furnace, constantly changing. "Lord Luo wiped out Liang Leheng... "The King of Yue conquered Shiqiong and took over Yuzhou... "Mr. Luo entered Caohai Customs... "General Duan, under the King of Yue, was defeated at Shanding Pass... "General An, who was under Lord Luo's command, massacred the city and was beheaded by him. It seems that several princes in the north are dissatisfied with this..." Lin Jue never left the quiet room. With a wave of his sleeves, the thousand-year-old snow lotus also went into the furnace. It happened to be the height of summer, but the streets around this alley were surprisingly as cold as winter, which surprised the people. Some people with good intentions gave various interpretations to it. After the four directions, he also felt the spiritual charm of the five elements. It is not much different from the four-direction spiritual charm. Four of the five elements spiritual charm were also collected by him personally. After collecting them, he often held them by his side to comprehend them. Now that it has been put into the alchemy furnace, the spiritual charm has been thoroughly stimulated. It happened that refining the elixir takes a long time, so naturally it is another period of detailed comprehend and careful practice. I have gained something and also realized something. "Master Lin, the world is now almost divided into three parts. The imperial court has only Qinzhou and Zhongzhou left, barely surviving. The rest are Lord Luo in the north and King Yue in the south. There are still a few small forces, but their troops and territories are very small, and it seems that they will not be able to achieve anything. In the end, they will either be annexed or surrender to one of them in exchange for wealth. "Oh, right! Recently there have been rumors in the north that Lord Luo used to be the protector of Master Lin. There are many rumors about this in the capital and the court. Some even say that Master Lin has been staying indoors in the capital, and there are all kinds of strange phenomena in the world. He is not refining the elixir, but taking the luck of the ginger and transferring it to Lord Luo in the north. "The Ministry of Rites came to inquire about it a few days ago." Lin Jue listened but remained unmoved, with only his own practice and doubts in his mind. (End of this chapter)
