Chapter 69 Alchemy Furnace, Field Battle
Bai Sheng sent his clone along the fork in the road.
They made their way into the mountain hollow to the east.
This side path is an old mountain trail, so there are many stones on the ground.
In addition, the road is relatively narrow.
Almost no tourists come here.
After walking a short distance, the gravel path came to an end.
front,
Among the waist-high weeds,
Sparsely scattered, a few crooked jujube trees grow.
This should be considered the edge area of the scenic area.
Let alone tourists, I'm afraid even the staff rarely come here.
The clone parted the weeds and continued forward.
Suddenly, I realized there was a gap under my feet.
Looking down,
It turns out that the terrain here gradually sinks down.
It forms a natural valley.
After careful observation,
The valley is about half the size of a basketball court.
Surrounded by dense forest,
You can't see inside at all from the outside.
Ok,
The fluctuations in spiritual energy are even more pronounced!
Following the location of the spiritual energy fluctuations, they made their way there.
The clone was under one of the ginkgo trees.
"This seems to be the place?"
Use your hands to brush away the fallen leaves and loose soil covering the tree roots.
Focus your senses on exploration.
The soil was very loose; we dug down less than a foot.
Sure enough, we hit a hard object!
This definitely doesn't feel like stone.
It appears to be a very small object.
When I dialed it out,
This object has three legs and a round belly, and its surface is covered with rust.
It was covered in mud and decaying leaves.
The clone dug it out of the ground and placed it on its knees.
Like a small incense burner?
The rust layer is too thick, obscuring the original material and texture.
Bai Sheng stared at the small object for a moment.
Alchemy Furnace
Alchemy furnace?
This is genuinely good stuff.
Of course, the one in my hand looks a bit frivolous.
The ancient Taoist texts mention some alchemy techniques, but the descriptions are brief.
It's practically nothing.
Although I don't know if this alchemy furnace will be useful, it's better to have something than nothing, right?
He instructed his clone to carefully place the alchemy furnace aside and continue searching around the ravine.
Near the roots of the ginkgo tree, there were many similar metal fragments and pieces of artifacts scattered around.
They all look like they were washed in from the same place!
The clone pulled a broken metal rod from the pile of fallen leaves; its surface was severely rusted.
But the label that popped up in front of me read:
[Mysterious Iron]
Several more palm-sized metal fragments were found, with labels indicating...
[Steel]
Red copper
【Cold Iron Scrap】
As Bai Sheng searched, he silently categorized the items in his mind.
These materials are used in weapon crafting techniques.
I can probably guess.
It is the most basic material for refining weapons.
Jiang Xuelan's knowledge of ancient weapon-refining techniques could come in handy... right?
Bai Sheng had his clone gather the alchemy furnace and the pile of metal fragments next to the ginkgo tree roots.
Keep digging.
Perceptual display,
There are even stronger energy fluctuations deep within the soil!
He had actually sensed it a long time ago, but he prioritized dealing with the smaller ones before tackling the bigger one.
It's probably some kind of psychological effect.
For example, always save the best food for last.
The fluctuation of spiritual energy this time is really, really strong!
Much better than an alchemy furnace and those metal fragments.
The location is directly beneath one of the ginkgo trees.
It was about two feet deep.
The clone changed direction and dug downwards from the side of the ginkgo tree root.
If outsiders saw this, they would probably be very surprised.
A girl with such outstanding looks, ranking among the top five in appearance out of a hundred people.
They're actually digging here so diligently...
Moreover, the significance of their identity is unclear.
suddenly,
The clone touched a large, cold metal surface.
It's much larger than the alchemy furnace!
ta speed up,
Clean up the surrounding loose soil and gravel.
A section of curved bronze edge is exposed beneath the soil layer.
The surface is covered in rust.
But the shape is extremely regular, and the curves are smooth!
"Wow, looks like we've struck gold!"
The clone runs along the metal edge.
Keep digging outwards.
The more they dug, the bigger it got.
First, there's a raised ring of texture, then two symmetrical ear stems.
Below that are three thick legs!
The entire artifact was completely removed from the soil.
Bai Shengcai finally saw its full appearance.
It is a cauldron!
Much, much larger than an alchemy furnace
The tripod is about the size of a washbasin, with three legs and two handles, and a round, bulging belly.
The lid of the cauldron fits on perfectly.
A line of small black text popped up before my eyes: [Refining Cauldron]!
Alchemy furnace paired with weapon-refining cauldron...
This trip was definitely worthwhile.
He had his clone move the refining cauldron out of the ground; it was quite heavy.
Conservatively speaking, it must weigh at least a thousand pounds.
If outsiders were to see this, it would be astonishing that a petite and beautiful young girl could lift a thousand-pound cauldron with her bare hands…
What is this thing?
A gender-swapped version of the Overlord?
At the same time that the clone was moving the cauldron,
The clone suddenly detected it.
A very faint rustling sound came from deep within the grass!
"Huh? Did I hear that right? How could anyone come to this godforsaken, desolate place?"
I examined it carefully.
It really wasn't the sound of wind rustling through leaves.
Someone is walking!
The rustling sound of my feet stepping on fallen leaves is rapidly approaching.
Bai Sheng immediately ordered his clone to stop all movements.
My toes lightly touched the trunk of the ginkgo tree.
He silently darted up into the treetop like a cat.
The clone was curled up on a thick branch.
Using the dense foliage to conceal their form,
Looking down from a high vantage point.
"Oh dear, why are you in such a hurry!"
"Hehehe, baby baby..."
I see,
A young couple parted the weeds,
We entered the ravine from the side road.
The man had blond hair, wore a black tight-fitting vest, and his arms were covered in tattoos.
Good guy,
A full-back tattoo extends from the wrist to the shoulder.
The woman had long, curly hair dyed dark red.
A tight-fitting mini skirt paired with high heels, and a row of sparkly earrings on her ears.
Bai Sheng understood immediately: a typical energetic young woman and an energetic young man!
What are these two doing here?
Oh dear, this is so hard to guess.
The two walked arm in arm.
They kissed several times on the lips, then the woman pushed the man away and said with a laugh, "Stop fooling around, let's find a place to sit down and talk."
The man chuckled twice, then pulled her to the ginkgo tree.
This is exactly where Bai Sheng just dug out the alchemy furnace.
Then the two of them sat on the roots of the ginkgo tree and hugged each other.
They kissed mouth to mouth, and their hands were also restless; they ended up lying on the ground while kissing.
The man put his hand inside the woman's tight short skirt.
The woman tilted her head back and laughed.
The cigarette held between his fingers fell into the pile of fallen leaves.
They didn't even bother to pick them up.
Of course, this happened when the two of them were completely in a state of excitement.
There was no one in the tree at all.
Naturally, they didn't notice either.
The traces of fallen leaves around the roots of the ginkgo tree indicate that they have been disturbed.
If someone is more rational, they might think about it.
How come there are signs of soil being disturbed in this godforsaken place?
However, they probably don't care that much.
Bai Sheng's lips twitched as he sat on his sofa at home.
These two are insane!
How could they do this in broad daylight, right in a scenic area?
