Chapter 3 Yuanli Pill
Because it was not far from the garbage disposal site, Bai Yu returned to the slums not long after.
The entire slum area covers a large area, with at least thousands of households. There are a large number of shabby shacks scattered here, and there are almost no good houses.
Most of them are simple, crooked, and dilapidated. From a distance, they look dirty and messy, like ruins after a disaster.
This kind of shabby shack can barely have a function of sheltering from the wind, but it is definitely not enough to keep out the rain. Once it rains, you can definitely taste the silky rain.
The rent in Black Mist City is very expensive, and the shabby shacks are densely built, resulting in poor air circulation here.
In summer or plum rain days, the air will be filled with bursts of strong moldy and damp smells. Staying here for a long time will make people feel sticky and uncomfortable.
Along the way, Bai Yu smelled the familiar faint moldy and damp smell and passed by the shabby shacks with ease.
On the way, he met several familiar neighbors and exchanged greetings with them one by one. After a while, he finally found his own door.
Bai Yu's family is located in the heart of the slums. In terms of appearance and sturdiness, his family is considered to be one of the better shacks.
Because his father Bai Shi has some skills in house repair, he often takes his mother Li Ping to the rich area of Black Mist City to work as a construction helper for some rich people.
Although their own house is also a shack structure, it has been tidied up and is solid and functional. It is absolutely enough to shelter from wind and rain.
"Squeak~~~~~"
Pushing open the wooden door, Bai Yu walked into the house quickly.
The area inside the house is not large, with only two small rooms, a small hall, a kitchen and a bathroom. Although it is small, it has everything.
Somewhat different from the environment outside the house, Bai's family looks clean and tidy, and the air is filled with a faint orange fragrance.
Mother Li Ping is skillful and always keeps things tidy, so the house looks warm and cozy.
There are not enough side rooms, so one of them is shared by two younger brothers.
In the other side room, the parents always say things like "children must gradually learn to be independent when they grow up", and insist that Bai Yu live alone no matter what.
The two of them sleep on wooden chairs in the hall every night, which makes Bai Yu feel really sad. Maybe all parents are like this, and parents all over the world are pitiful.
At this time, in the small hall, a thin boy in cloth clothes was sitting in a wooden wheelchair, staring at the scene outside the window in a daze.
After seeing Bai Yu push the door and enter the house, he was obviously stunned and said:
"Brother, are you back so early today?"
He is Bai Yu's younger brother Bai Xuan, fifteen years old this year, and has not awakened his bloodline. The welfare school has one day off every week, and his younger brother is sometimes at home during the day.
Similar to Bai Yu, due to congenital deficiencies and living in a moldy and humid slum for many years, Bai Xuan suddenly suffered from a strange leg disease when he was ten years old.
The bones and tendons of his legs were soft and numb, and he gradually lost consciousness. Later, his meridians were broken and he could no longer move. His lower body was paralyzed.
At that time, his parents spent all their family wealth and looked for barefoot doctors, but they could not cure him. They asked around again and finally found out one important piece of information.
The second-level top-grade precious pill "Duanxu Pill" can not only reconnect broken pulses, but also regenerate broken limbs, which should be able to treat this strange disease.
However, after asking the price, he found out that the price of this second-level top-grade Duanxu Pill was so high that it made people despair. For ordinary poor families like Bai Yu, even if they saved money and spent decades, they might not be able to afford it.
In desperation, Bai Xuan's leg disease has been dragging on until now. Since he was ten years old, he has had to rely on a wooden wheelchair to walk.
He also had to eat some expensive herbs to barely delay the disease and slow down the deterioration of the strange disease.
Bai Xuan has been paralyzed in a wooden wheelchair for many years, and his personality is much calmer than that of ordinary teenagers.
But drinking a lot of herbal soup every day made him look a little sick, lacking the vigor that a teenager should have, and he often liked to be alone and dazed.
"Well. I had good luck today and gained something. And I feel a little tired, so I came back early."
After closing the wooden door with his backhand, Bai Yu walked over and gently patted Bai Xuan's shoulder, and replied casually.
Although it seemed casual, Bai Yu secretly glanced at his brother's legs, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes that was not easy to detect.
He once secretly vowed to let his brother's broken legs be reconnected and run again in the sunny grass.
However, it still takes some time to wait.
Although he had the Hongmeng Creation Furnace in his hand, he didn't want to easily touch his brother's pain and make an uncertain promise to him before he was completely sure.
Because Bai Yu knew that if hope was shattered, it would also make people suffer, so the heartache flashed in his eyes and soon returned to normal.
He did not intend to deceive his family about the gains he had made while away from home, but the furnace of creation had not been properly tested, and it was a matter of great importance, so he was afraid of being guilty of possessing a treasure. Therefore, it was not appropriate to reveal too much to his younger brother Bai Xuan now.
"Brother, you are back! Come and play with me~"
Before Bai Xuan could speak again, a childish voice resounded through the hall.
Instantly, a cute thin child, wearing a patched cloth that was a little too big, rushed out of the wing room excitedly, and quickly hugged Bai Yu's thigh, and acted cutely.
This child is called Bai Fei, and he is Bai Yu's youngest brother.
He just turned five this year, and he is still young, but unlike his two brothers, although he is thin, he is still healthy and has not awakened his bloodline.
He looks cute, chubby, and likes to be naughty.
It's just that the Bai family is poor and rarely buys new clothes. Bai Fei can only wear some worn-out clothes discarded by his two brothers, so they are a little loose and ill-fitting.
"Okay, okay, I'll come to play with you later. Now I have something important to deal with, you play with your second brother first."
Bai Yu squatted down and touched Bai Fei's little head lovingly, but when he saw Bai Fei's thin body wearing very loose and worn-out clothes, Bai Yu's eyes suddenly became hot and his heart was a little painful:
I'm sorry, brother. It's all my fault that I have no ability, so you have to suffer with us adults at such a young age.
Wait a little longer, give my brother some time. I will definitely work hard to make you all live a good life.
"Oh... okay then."
Bai Fei didn't know what Bai Yu was thinking. He looked at Bai Yu with some disappointment, then ran to Bai Xuan's side and pestered this second brother to play mischief.
Bai Fei was young and liked to play mischief, but sometimes he was quite obedient and sensible.
It's not time for dinner yet. My parents are out working as construction workers and won't be back so early.
Seeing my two younger brothers playing mischievously, Bai Yu cleared the haze in his heart and felt warm in his heart.
Compared with the cruel reality outside the house, family is definitely a warm harbor.
Thinking of this, Bai Yu shook his head and smiled, turned and walked into the bathroom.
He took a quick shower to wash off the stench, changed into a set of clean clothes, and finally recovered some spirit.
Leaving the bathroom, Bai Yu walked into his room and closed and locked the wooden door.
The room was not big, only three or five square, but it was clean and tidy, and the window lattices were dust-free.
There were not many utensils, only a shabby simple wooden bed, a set of patched bedding, a short wooden stool, and a large cloth bag for storing various waste and sundries. Everything was simple and clear.
After taking a shower, Bai Yu felt refreshed and couldn't wait to test the function of the furnace.
But for a moment, he had the treasure in his hand, but he was scratching his head and didn't know how to do it.
"A Meng."
Bai Yu called the spirit of the instrument softly:
"We are safe now, we can start the experiment, what should I do next?"
A Meng had been struggling for 30,000 years in the long years. When she heard the host's voice, it meant that she could finally help the furnace of creation to grab energy and stimulate the furnace to repair. She immediately answered happily:
"Okay, master. It's actually very simple. You just need to move the furnace out of the body with a thought. According to your thoughts, you can adjust its size to a certain extent. After that, throw the energy-containing material into it."
After a pause, A Meng continued:
"Next, I will completely integrate into the furnace of creation, enter the state of no thought and consciousness, and then prompt you step by step, please rest assured."
"Okay."
After getting the method, Bai Yu nodded, and then his mind moved, and he concentrated on thinking about moving the furnace out of the body.
"Swoosh!"
The next moment, a light sound was heard, and a half-man-high black iron furnace appeared out of thin air in front of Bai Yu.
Before, Bai Yu's first impression of the Creation Furnace was very ordinary, which could be said to be mediocre, but after seeing it for the second time, he felt much more pleasing to the eye.
Although it looked almost the same as the first time, it was still seriously damaged and covered with spider-web-like cracks.
But I never expected that after it was removed from the body, it would glow with a faint glow, flickering, and gorgeous.
It was indeed quite different from the first impression in my mind. At that moment, as soon as the Creation Furnace appeared in front of me, a trace of desolate and simple atmosphere suddenly filled the entire inner room space, which was magical.
"To throw in things containing energy... Which ones contain energy and which ones don't? No matter, throw something in and try it first."
Thinking so, Bai Yu threw a few pieces of rusty iron pieces that he had just dug out today into the Creation Furnace.
"Shua——"
Once thrown into the furnace, the rusty iron pieces were like a drop in the ocean, rolling down to form a vortex of qi sea, and in a flash, they all disappeared strangely.
Soon, a series of crisp prompt sounds came suddenly.
[Ding! ]
[This item does not contain any energy]
[Please change the host and re-enter]
The voice of the spirit Ah Meng became a little dull at this time, and it sounded that the intelligence became lower, as if there were only the most basic status prompts. I don’t know if this is what Ah Meng just said, the state of no mind and consciousness attached to the spirit.
Before Bai Yu could fully understand why Ah Meng suddenly became more dull and could only mechanically prompt.
Suddenly, a burst of "Puff Puff Puff" sound suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
The pieces of rusty iron pieces just now were like watermelon seeds being sprayed out through the mouth of the Creation Furnace, and were sprayed out intact and flew into the air.
After a while, the remaining strength gradually faded, and he suddenly lost weight, and all fell to the floor, making a tinkling sound.
"It seems that these rusty iron pieces are not good, but the Creation Furnace did not take any of them, and they were all returned..."
Counting the number of rusty iron pieces, Bai Yu suddenly looked thoughtful, and silently memorized some key details of the Creation Furnace:
"Great! Then I don't have to worry about unnecessary losses caused by trial and error, and try other things again..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he kept grabbing from the waste bag and throwing various items into the Creation Furnace.
Next, it was like this.
Bai Yu threw tattered clothes, pants, straw sandals, pens and ink, bowls and chopsticks, leftovers, and boiled water into the furnace.
And threw in wood, burning charcoal, stones, copper wire, shovels, hammers, hair... and other items.
Some items were found in the hall or kitchen, but unexpectedly, they were all spit out by the furnace of creation intact.
And without exception, they all received the same prompt:
[Ding! ]
[This item does not contain any energy]
[Please change the host and put it in again]
"Strange, all of them don't work?"
Seeing this, Bai Yu frowned and felt very confused:
"According to common sense, this burning charcoal should contain fire energy, why is there no reaction? What exactly is considered to contain energy?"
He has thrown in most of the materials he could find in the house and tried them. Now there is only the most valuable waste pill at hand, which has not been thrown in.
To be honest, Bai Yu was a little reluctant. He originally thought that if other things could work, these waste pills could be left and used to exchange for a large amount of food.
But now, there is no choice.
"Ah."
Bai Yu curled his lips and sighed:
"There is no other way. I hope this waste pill can work..."
This is the last object he has not tried. If it doesn't work again, it will be a real headache.
"Swoosh!"
Bai Yu gritted his teeth, picked up a waste pill beside him, and threw it directly into the furnace of creation.
However, the next moment, a surprise happened. Once the waste pill was thrown in and swallowed by the gray fog vortex, the furnace of creation was actually brighter than before.
[Ding! ]
[Energy value does not meet the standard]
[Host, please continue to invest]
A Meng's dull reminder also came.
"Finally there is a reaction. It seems that this waste pill can be used!" Seeing this, Bai Yu was overjoyed.
As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind to continue throwing waste pills into the furnace of creation one by one.
As the number of waste pills swallowed increased, the furnace of creation began to become brighter and brighter.
Bai Yu saw this situation, but still did not stop, and continued to invest without saying anything.
Just like this, when the sixth waste pill was thrown in, the fortune furnace finally bloomed with a dazzling light!
A crisp prompt sound came.
[Ding! ]
[Energy value has reached the standard! ]
[Advanced fortune: Turn waste into treasure, randomly generated...]
"Done?"
Bai Yu opened his eyes and stared at the fortune furnace with expectation:
"Randomly generated? What will be generated?"
After a few breaths, a pleasant sound finally came out.
[Ding! ]
[Congratulations to the host! ]
[Obtained: First-class top-grade, Yuanli Pill × 1]
[Yuanli Pill: The pill contains a large amount of Yuanli, which can be refined to strengthen the Yuanli in the body. It is a great tonic for bloodline warriors and the key to quickly improve the realm of strength. 】
"Swish!"
The next moment, a light red pill of top-grade quality was ejected from the mouth of the Creation Furnace and flew into the air.
The pill has not arrived yet, but the qi has come out first.
In an instant, a strong and extremely fragrant pill fragrance filled the entire bedroom space.
"This is...smell..."
Seeing this, Bai Yu's eyes widened in shock, and he couldn't help but inhale a little pill qi with his nostrils twitching.
The smell was slightly sweet in the strong fragrance, but it was unexpected that it was full of aftereffects.
The free pill fragrance instantly penetrated the body, which actually made Bai Yu's spirits rise, and his whole body became agitated.
