Necromancer, summon skeletons, practice the Heaven-Swallowing Magic Skill

After leaving the elves, Lu Ming's heart was filled with anticipation and a sense of urgency.

He has now collected all the materials needed to refine the alchemy furnace and build the Qi foundation, but in order to refine these materials into pills, he still lacks one crucial thing - earth fire.

Underground fire, this special flame containing rich fire energy, is exactly the flames burning on the surface of the magma inside the volcano where the dragon's lair is located. Their power and purity have reached the standard of underground fire.

While collecting materials, Lu Ming unexpectedly felt a burst of refined energy originating from deep within the magma.

The high level of that energy made him guess that it might be the manifestation of the original power of fire.

This discovery made Lu Ming decide to go to the volcano again to find out more, in order to obtain this powerful energy and further improve his alchemy skills.

However, when he approached the volcano again, he found that the situation had changed.

After being lured away by the skeletons last time, the dragon discovered that the elf girl in the nest had been rescued, and became extremely angry. It kept circling and roaring around the volcano, and its power was so great that even the monsters in the forest trembled.

The dragon's alertness increased significantly, and Lu Ming realized that it was almost impossible to use the skeleton to lure the dragon away again.

Lu Ming said to himself: "It seems that this time the plan must be more careful. The dragon's vigilance has increased, and the old method can no longer be used."

Helpless, Lu Ming had no choice but to wait.

He knew very well that no matter how vigilant the dragon was, it would eventually leave its lair, for hunting or other reasons.

During this period of time, Lu Ming practiced in the forest while using the evil spirit to monitor everything, ready to seize the opportunity to act at any time.

In order to avoid being discovered, he used secret techniques to conceal his breath, hid in a corner, and waited patiently.

"Sha Ling, keep a close eye on the dragon's movements," Lu Ming ordered in a low voice, "If it leaves the nest, notify me immediately."

After a long wait, the dragon finally left its nest again and flew away to hunt.

But Lu Ming did not act immediately, as he was worried that this was a strategy to lure the enemy.

As he waited patiently, the dragon returned soon enough, which showed that the dragon was extremely cunning and might be deliberately luring the hidden enemy to show up.

Lu Ming and the dragon engaged in a contest of wits, testing each other over and over again for many days.

Finally, after confirming that the dragon had really left its nest and would not return in the short term, Lu Ming decided to take action.

However, the dragon's high intelligence made it return to its nest many times, so Lu Ming did not dare to act rashly.

Until one day, the evil spirit followed the dragon and flew to a very far place. Even if the dragon wanted to return, it would take at least half an hour.

Only then did Lu Ming dare to boldly enter the dragon's lair.

He knew that this opportunity could not be missed.

Lu Ming swam towards the dragon's lair skillfully like a nimble fish.

He dived to the bottom of the nest with ease, like a fish in water, his movements swift and precise.

As time was running out, he did not hesitate to cast a mysterious undead magic - "Ghost Shield" to protect himself.

This Netherworld Shield is no ordinary shield. It contains powerful undead energy, condensed into an indestructible defensive barrier.

Unlike traditional shields, the Nether Shield can not only resist physical attacks, but also has a unique feature: it can absorb and transform some magic damage, and convert it into the caster's vitality, providing him with additional life recovery ability. This magical shield allows Lu Ming to easily navigate the harsh environment of magma.

Under the protection of the Netherworld Shield, Lu Ming jumped into the boiling magma without hesitation and swam straight towards the high-level and pure fire energy.

The temperature of the magma is astonishingly high, as if it is going to melt everything. The bottom is bottomless, like a hot lake, and the flow resistance is extremely high.

However, Lu Ming relied on his tenacious physique and powerful strength to tenaciously overcome these difficulties.

Although the process was extremely difficult, he did not back down and moved forward courageously, and finally successfully reached the depths of the magma.

There, the surrounding fire element became increasingly dense, almost reaching the level of materialization. For fire magicians, this was undoubtedly an excellent place to practice.

Lu Ming was pleasantly surprised to find that his perception was not wrong. A fist-sized ball of fire energy condensed together and was gradually forming an irregular crystal, emitting a faint breath of origin.

"It is indeed the original power of fire!" Lu Ming was pleasantly surprised. He swam over immediately and carefully put it away. He planned to find an opportunity to try to refine it into his own incarnation after he got out.

The incarnation is a profound secret magic of the demon clan, which can combine a part of the soul with external objects to create an avatar with independent consciousness and certain combat power, greatly enhancing the strength of the caster.

At the bottom of the lava lake, Lu Ming continued his search and discovered some high-level fire element treasures, such as fire essence, flame crystal stone and other rare materials. He collected them one by one without hesitation.

Then, he began to use the rich fire energy to prepare for refining weapons and pills.

Lu Ming first turned his attention to the alchemy furnace.

He took out the various materials he had collected from the space ring, as well as the meteorite iron he got at the auction and the Heart of Noxus ore he got from the dwarves.

He placed these materials into the magma and used the high temperature of the magic flame to melt them.

Under Lu Ming's control, the magic flame resonated with the surrounding fire energy, making the molten metal liquid purer and the impurities were completely removed.

Lu Ming stared intently at the materials in the magma, feeling their changes.

As time goes by, the molten metal gradually becomes crystal clear without a trace of impurities.

This made him very satisfied.

Then, he carefully controlled the magic flame, mixed the molten metals together in a certain proportion, and added some special materials to increase the toughness and high temperature resistance of the furnace.

This can ensure that the furnace will not break or be damaged during long-term use.

When everything was ready, Lu Ming began to carve a formation inside the furnace.

These formations can enhance the stability and efficiency of the alchemy furnace, allowing it to better control the temperature during the alchemy process and reduce the waste of medicinal materials.

Lu Ming's carving technique is skillful and precise. Every cut is as delicate as that of a master artist, perfectly integrating every node of the formation with the structure of the alchemy furnace.

Each carving was so precise, as if he had already thought out all the details in his mind.

After completing the carving, Lu Ming carefully integrated the essence of the star meteorite iron into the main body of the alchemy furnace.

This process required great skill and patience, but Lu Ming did it almost perfectly. As the meteorite iron was integrated, the surface of the furnace began to emit a faint light, as if it was injected with life.

The addition of meteorite iron not only increases the hardness of the furnace, but also gives it unparalleled wear resistance.

In this way, even when faced with the huge energy fluctuations generated when refining higher-level elixirs, the alchemy furnace can easily cope with it.

Finally, as the last wisp of demonic flame died out, a brand new alchemy furnace appeared before Lu Ming's eyes.

It shone with a mysterious luster, as dazzling as the stars in the universe. At the same time, a faint starry breath emanated from the furnace, making people feel endless depth and mystery.

Lu Ming gently stroked the surface of the alchemy furnace, feeling its unique texture.

This alchemy furnace seems to be a perfect combination of art and technology, which makes people amazed.

"I'll call you the Star Cauldron from now on!" Lu Ming nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of joy. He knew very well that this furnace would be a great helper in his future alchemy journey.

Looking at the Star Cauldron in his hand, Lu Ming was full of anticipation.

He believed that with this alchemy furnace, he would be able to refine more high-quality pills and lay a solid foundation for his cultivation.

After the Star Cauldron was refined, Lu Ming started to refine the elixir without any pause.

He put all the materials he had collected before, including the Blue Ice Heart Grass purchased at the auction and the rare magical plants obtained from the elves, into the Star Cauldron one by one.

Each material has its own unique properties, so they need to be combined at a specific time and under specific conditions to ensure that the efficacy of the elixir reaches the best state.

Lu Ming first put some basic herbs into the Star Cauldron. The function of these herbs is to build the basic framework of the elixir and provide its basic medicinal effect.

As the demonic flames burned fiercely, these herbs began to gradually decompose under the high temperature, emitting their own medicinal properties.

With his exquisite control over the magic flame, Lu Ming ensured that each herb was decomposed to just the right degree, neither overly destroying the medicinal ingredients nor leaving too many impurities.

Lu Ming put the Blue Ice Heart Grass and several other precious magical plants into the Star Cauldron.

These materials contain special magical elements that can improve the quality of the elixir to a higher level.

However, these magical elements are very sensitive and can be easily lost due to high temperatures.

Therefore, Lu Ming had to find a way to maintain their integrity.

He thought of a unique method - ice and fire.

This technique requires the alternation of ice and fire by controlling the temperature during the alchemy process.

First, Lu Ming wrapped the Star Cauldron with magic energy to isolate it from the high temperature outside.

This can quickly lower the temperature inside the cauldron and protect those fragile magical elements.

Next, he used his mastery of fire to absorb fire magical elements from the surrounding magma and used them to ignite the flames within the Star Cauldron.

This alternation of cold and hot can not only ensure the activity of the material, but also improve the efficiency of refining.

As time went on, Lu Ming became more and more focused on the refining process.

He kept an eye on the changes in the cauldron and adjusted the temperature and intensity of the magic flame as needed. At the same time, he also used a series of unique alchemy secrets of the demon clan, such as "medicine condensation" and "soul fusion".

These secret techniques can not only help the materials blend better, but also improve the purity and stability of the elixir.

In the final stage of refining, Lu Ming needs to condense the essence of all materials into a pill.

This is an extremely critical step, success or failure depends on it.

He took a deep breath, then quickly formed seals with his hands, chanting: "The sky and earth are dark yellow, the universe is vast and wild, yin and yang, the five elements, the elixir is taking shape!"

As his spell fell, a mysterious energy began to gather in the Star Cauldron.

Lu Ming performed the "Golden Pill Forming Technique", which is an advanced alchemy technique that can condense the essence of the pill into shape in a very short period of time, while ensuring that the internal and external structures of the pill are uniform and the medicinal effects are balanced.

As Lu Ming's spell fell, a slight vibration came from the Star Cauldron.

Then, a wisp of fragrance escaped from the gap in the lid of the cauldron, which meant that the pill was about to take shape.

Lu Ming held his breath and stared at the Star Cauldron intently, not daring to relax at all.

He knew that this was the most critical moment, and if he was not careful, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
