Chapter 3155: Refining the nucleus

After entering the stone room, Kong Shengjie and others sat on the seats in front of the furnace in turn.
"Li Xiaoyou, these kinds of materials are what you need to refine next." At this time, Kong Shengjie took out three jade boxes and handed them to Li Tian.
Li Tian took the jade box, and when he opened a jade box casually, a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
I saw a palm-sized, light blue monster beast crystal core lying quietly in the center of the jade box, and a faint warm light radiated from the crystal core.
"This is..." Li Tian was stunned. He had no idea that what he needed to refine was a monster crystal core.
Of course, it can also be said to be the beast pill and the beast inner pill. Its biggest function is to store energy, which is equivalent to the Dantian of the human monk.
The reason why Li Tian was surprised was that he had never refined a monster crystal core, and none of the pills he had come into contact with in the past used these things.
In fact, in his impression, the monster crystal core can't be used to refine pills. Although there are exceptions, they are definitely not many.
"Why, what's the problem?" Kong Shengjie narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.
"No problem, it's just that this crystal core, even if the energy essence in it is extracted, shouldn't be used to refine the pill?" Li Tian shook his head, with a trace of doubt on his face.
"This crystal core, taken from the ice and snow demon wolf in the late stage of Void Refining, can be used to refine some ice-attribute pills, such as a half-step god-level heart protection pill."
Kong Shengjie smiled and said, "Of course, the crystal core of the ice and snow demon wolf can also be used to neutralize some powerful elixir, why can't it be used for alchemy?"
"Heart Protection Pill? Neutralizing potent medicinal materials?" Li Tian frowned. He had never heard that the energy in the crystal core could be used to neutralize elixir.
As for the Heart Protection Pill, he has not refined it, nor does it have a prescription, so he does not know that it requires the crystal core of the Ice and Snow Demon Wolf to refine the Heart Protection Pill.
"Little friend, it seems that you still don't know enough about the crystal nucleus of the monster beast. In the eyes of low-grade alchemists, the energy contained in the crystal nucleus is too complicated to be used for alchemy."
Another tough old man said: "But if the impurities inside are refined, or completely extracted, won't the core problems be solved?"
"In fact, the half-step magical product or even the elixir of the magical product level mostly uses the monster beast crystal core and other materials, because the monster crystal core contains extremely rich energy."
Hearing this, Li Tian's heart suddenly flashed a hint of comprehension, and at the same time he realized that in fact, he has some incomprehensions about the alchemy, and it is not only all kinds of elixir that can be used for alchemy.
"It's too short for Li Xiaoyou to step into the heavenly product, and he can't get in touch with the pill that requires crystal nuclei. It is normal to not understand this aspect, but you will know later." Kong Shengjie said.
Li Tian didn't ask any more, and instead opened the remaining two jade boxes. There is no doubt that the monster crystal cores contained therein are also monsters.
Then he came to the pill furnace and inspired the elixir to start refining crystal nuclei.
"In the jade box, there is only one crystal nucleus of each kind. It seems that I only have one chance to try. Once the refinement fails, the assessment will fail."
Li Tian was roasting the pill furnace while thinking in his mind, "However, there is no essential difference between refining crystal nuclei and refining elixir, but the former has more impurities and it is more difficult to extract."
After a short while, the pill furnace gradually became hot, and Li Tian didn't think much about it. After taking a deep breath, he directly threw the crystal core of the ice and snow demon wolf into it.
At the same time, the spirit flames in his hand soared and burned violently, causing the fire in the pill furnace to shine, even a little dazzling.
And the demon wolf crystal core is completely wrapped in flames, strands of bitterly cold aura, constantly emanating from the crystal core, resisting the burning of the spiritual flame, as if it also has intelligence and wants to avoid destruction.
At this time, Li Tian felt a little strenuous. The power of that cold air seemed to be no less than his spiritual flame. It was definitely not easy to refine it.
Not only that, some icy breath also overflowed from the pill furnace and scattered throughout the stone chamber, causing the surrounding temperature to drop significantly.
"Looking at this situation, Li Xiaoyou really hasn't refined the crystal nucleus, but used the most reckless way to refine it. Didn't he know to condense the spiritual flame first and break the protective layer outside the crystal nucleus?" Kong Shengjie whispered .
"But then again, the spiritual flame he inspired is really overbearing, and it can stalemate with the cold air released by the crystal core. You know, the cold in the crystal core, but the ice and snow demon wolf's accumulation of tens of thousands of years before his death." The old man should be in harmony.
"Through that spiritual flame, I can see that his talent is extraordinary. Today's assessment should not be difficult for him."
"Yes, no matter how much cold air accumulates in the crystal core, it will eventually be exhausted. It is impossible to compare to Li Xiaoyou."
Several other elders also spoke, and they were full of confidence in Li Tian.
Sure enough, as the flames scorched, the outermost protective shell of the demon wolf crystal core finally shattered.
Li Tian looked happy, immediately manipulated the flame, poured into the crystal core, and burned it very thoroughly.
After losing the strong protective shell, the demon wolf crystal core soon began to melt, and finally turned into a snow-white sticky substance.
Seeing this sticky substance, Li Tian heaved a sigh of relief. There was no essential difference between this thing and the product he refined the elixir, but it was more complicated.
A huge mental power instantly gushed out of Li Tian's sea of ​​knowledge, and then he discovered that the snow-white viscous mass was actually composed of dozens of energies and some strange impurities.
"These energies should be separated in different ways, otherwise they can't be used for alchemy." Li Tian thought for a while, and then used his mental power to split the sticky substance.
Splitting is not easy. Some energies are intermingled with each other and it is difficult to separate them completely. In the process of splitting, it is also necessary to control the heat, otherwise those energies may react.
I don't know how long it took, Li Tian finally extracted those energies one by one, and there were no accidents from beginning to end.
"Huh, this thing is really troublesome to refine." Li Tian let out a sigh, and then he took out a few jade bottles and filled the masses of energy essence in.
Although the demon wolf crystal core has been refined, Li Tian's first stage of assessment has not ended. Next, he needs to refine two different crystal cores.
He didn't know the two kinds of crystal nuclei, but it wouldn't be too bad, and the difficulty of refining should be no less than that of the monster wolf crystal nucleus, and it would even be more troublesome, after all, they ranked behind.
