Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 313: Xia Po Po Soup Room

"Cha Ming Mountain" is an active volcano on the outskirts of Izumo City.

In cultures with belief in gods, mountains and rivers usually have certain mysterious meanings. Chaming Mountain is one of the three sacred mountains in Shanyin, and it is said to be the burial place of the "Lord of Huangquan Kingdom".

The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round. The volcanic eruption hundreds of years ago brought a large amount of fertile volcanic ash from the ground. The vegetation is lush from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain, and the scenery is pleasant. Because there are the highest quality mineral hot springs in the earth's veins, a large number of hot spring bathhouses have been built in the villages at Chamingshanjiao, attracting tourists from all over.

Winter is the best season to enjoy snow and bathing, and there are many tourists.

The four of Su Lun traveled a hundred miles at night and arrived at the small town at the foot of Chaming Mountain before dawn. Those all-night pubs and geisha houses were brightly lit, with drunken customers wandering the streets.

Su Lun and the others did not go to the town. Shenfu Yuzi led them up the mountain from the trail overnight. They walked up the mountain and passed through a patch of bluestone steps in the dense woods. Only then did they arrive at a room with green tiles. In front of the three-story building with the main roof and white walls. . There are green Kappa stone carvings on both sides of the door, and a sign hangs under the eaves with a few words mottled in paint: Xia Po Po Soup Room.

Su Lun held the rune umbrella and carefully observed everything around him. The death bird on the shoulder was also very quiet and found nothing unusual.

It seems that the pursuers are not coming.

The shop owners are an old couple dressed in plain clothes. They waited respectfully at the door after receiving the message from Zhihe.

When Su Lun and others approached, they saw Yuzi, they knelt on the ground and whispered: "See you, Your Highness."

Miko is a very kind person, but she also has the unique majesty of a royal princess. She didn't intend to attract attention, so she waved and said, "Take us to the room."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The old couple bowed and led several people into the house.

For the sake of confidentiality, Miko did not inform the couple much in advance, and it was the peak hot spring season, so there were not many vacancies in the hot spring room when we came. Su Lun walked all the way and felt that there were people in the rooms on the first and second floors. There were about twenty or thirty groups of soul fires, old and young, all ordinary people. Their breathing was even and long, and it sounded like they were all still asleep.

The few people went all the way up to the third floor and arrived in front of a room without disturbing anyone.

Most of Shanyin's hot spring rooms are "suite rooms", which are suitable for families to enjoy a hot spring bath together. This is the room that the old couple arranged for Yuzi to be alone.

The old couple thought that Su Lun and the others were the guards and maids of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Since there were no vacancies, they planned to vacate their own room and squeeze in.

But Yuzi rejected this suggestion.

She didn't mind living with others, not to mention Su Lun and the other three were still her guests, so she naturally invited them into the room together.

The old couple didn't say anything and retreated respectfully.

......

Su Lun and the other three imitated Yuzi and took off their shoes before stepping on the rush woven straw mat.

There is a faint scent of incense in the room, and the decoration style is quiet, beautiful, simple and elegant. There are almost no walls in the house, only brown wooden pillars and a lattice door made of plain white rice paper. The small-feeling room is spacious, has good lighting, and the moonlight is pleasant. This soup house is built against the mountain. Although it is on the third floor, it has a unique courtyard cleverly designed. Looking out the window, behind the cover of green jade vegetation, you can see the steam lingering upward, which is an independent hot spring pool.

Grandma Xia and her husband arranged the best room.

Entering the room, Shenfu Yuzi casually arranged a barrier to prevent visitors. She said to Qianjo and Su Lun and then bowed: "I'm sorry, if we didn't make arrangements in advance, we would have to wrong everyone."

Since we are here to seek refuge, we naturally cannot make a big fuss about it.

Su Lun and Qian Jiao are not the kind of formal people, so they wouldn't mind.

What's more, the elegant environment of this house cannot be called "aggrieved".

"Miss Miko, you're welcome."

Qianjou waved his hand.

Her character never treats her as an outsider. After entering the room, she began to take off the long sword from her waist. She made a show of taking off her clothes while muttering: "Huh. ..I can finally take a good rest. I had heard about the volcanic hot springs here before coming to Shanyin, and now I can finally try them."

Su Lun was not surprised at all why she was so eager. The gambling-addicted young woman had been fighting hard for several days, and the blood stains on her body had all condensed into black. I haven't washed my clothes for several days, and my hair and clothes have a strange smell mixed with various smells. This made her who already loved bathing unbearable.

As he spoke, Senjou did not forget to greet his host: "Miss Miko, let's go to the bath together."

The godly clothes Yuzi smiled slightly and responded: "Yes."

As the master, she naturally wants to accompany her. Besides, she originally meant it.

Because the soup room is essentially a hotel, this large room is for the convenience of a family living together.

There is a cleverly designed lattice door in the house, which can originally separate some small rooms with other functions, such as a dressing room.

But Senjou had no intention of avoiding the people in the room.

While she was speaking, she had already taken off her kimono jacket, exposing a large area of ​​skin to the air. He completely ignored Su Lun, the only man in the room, and began to take off the gauze wrapping his chest.

Seeing this, there was not much color on the face of Shenfu Yuzi.

In the traditional culture of Shanyin, there are few privacy concerns among family members, and "mixed bathing" is a natural custom. Even after they are adults, it is very natural for family members to be naked and rarely avoid taboos.

But in that situation, it is only for people who are very close that they are so unguarded.

Thinking of something, Yuzi glanced at Su Lun in the room with a flash of light in his eyes. But she smiled and said: "Miss Senjo has a really good figure."

Why did Qianjo care about this kind of thing? He glanced down and raised his eyebrows and said: "Ah... I feel that it affects my swing of the sword."

Hearing this, Miko covered her mouth and chuckled: "Miss Senjou really has an enviable trouble."

Lolota looked accustomed to it, and skillfully helped her teacher pick up the clothes and hang them on the coat rack nearby. The three of them had been getting along like this for several days in the Blizzard City bathhouse before, and she was already used to it.

This little girl learned the sword from Senjou, and she also learned her carefree character. After gathering thousands of pieces of clothes, she also hung the sword on the wall, and looked ready to take off her clothes and go to the bath.

......

There is a small partition near the courtyard in the room, which is a place for washing the body.

Qianjou took off all his clothes and walked over.

Her back is perfect, but the evil ghost tattoos all over her back are very eye-catching.

Miko also looked slightly clear-eyed.

The room was full of joy and Su Lun was the calm one.

After all, there were outsiders, so he had no intention of admiring Qianjiao taking off his clothes. Just find a place to sit and plan to digest what you just got.

Not long after, the sound of water was heard.

But at this time, I heard Qianjiao shouting again through the screen: "Su Lun, why don't you join us?"

Su Lun responded: "No. I still have to get some things to solve your rune ban as soon as possible..."

Rather than letting go, he was more eager to digest the soul of "Ghost Sword" Aki and the inheritance of the rune warlock lineage.

There are also sealed ghost warriors waiting for him to deal with, as well as research on the [Silver Hand]...

There are so many things waiting to be done.

"Oh."

Qian Tiao responded: "Then I'll go first."

Su Lun did not respond.

At this time, Mifu Miko, who was still in the room, also spoke. She still bowed slightly politely: "Mr. Su Lun, I'm going to take a bath first. Excuse me."

Su Lun was a little unaccustomed to such a polite attitude all the time, and responded: "Yes. Miss Miko, you don't have to be so polite."

Miko smiled slightly and said that she was also going to change into the gauze clothes she had soaked in the bath in the room.

But she is not as bold as Senjo who can take off her clothes in the room without changing her expression. She walked over and politely pulled the wooden lattice door open, creating a changing room.

The sound of "rustling" clothes coming off came next to my ears, and not long after, the entire miko costume was taken off and hung on the screen.

Su Lun was concentrating on his own things, placing some things in front of his eyes and doing his own things. But because of his ability to multi-task, he can clearly distinguish the subtle movements in the room. Hearing slight footsteps, he knew that Miko had gone to the washing room.

Sure enough, I heard the sound of water not long after waiting.

Shanyin's soup room is unlike other places in that it has a boiler pipe for flushing.

The hot water here is brought directly from the hot spring using bamboo tubes.

It's time for Qian Jiao to rinse, probably with a wooden bucket and a rushing sound, making a splashing sound.

When Yuzi was rinsing, it seemed like she was scooping water little by little with a gourd ladle, making a gurgling sound. Her behavior sounds very delicate.

I don’t know why, Su Lun was suddenly attracted by this movement.

He raised his eyebrows, glanced at the witch costume on the screen, shook his head slightly, and then calmed down again.

Finally, Yuzi also went to the hot spring pool in the courtyard. Su Lun was the only one in the room, so he could concentrate on his own affairs.

He took out the [Soul Sealing Jar], and the shadow of the God of Death instantly condensed behind him. In an instant, an icy breath descended on the entire room.

Su Lun opened the cork of the clay pot expressionlessly, and a ghostly light floated out, and the shadow of the **** of death swallowed it up instantly.

"You peeled off the soul of 'Yashi Aurora', and you gained a lot of 'Rune Warlock' inherited knowledge"

"You have understood the 108 variations of 'Advanced Runes'"

"You have gained a lot of insights related to 'knowledge of all rune languages', 'rune refining techniques', and 'rune engraving techniques'"

"..."

In the room, Su Lun was busy.

At the same time, Mikokan, who was soaking in the hot spring in my hot spring pool in the courtyard, knew the special aura of death coming, and her pretty face was slightly surprised.

Qianjou raised his eyebrows and said lazily: "Don't worry about him."

Yuzi also guessed what kind of secret technique Su Lun might be performing, so it was naturally difficult to find out.

She thought of something and then asked curiously: "Miss Senjo, I would like to ask, is Mr. Su Lun your lover?"

Qianjo rolled his eyes, "Do you think it looks like it?"

"Like."

Miko smiled and said in a very sure tone: "Only for the one you love deeply, you will take risks without hesitation. I can see that Mr. Su Lun cares about Miss Senjou very much."

"Cut~"

Hearing this, Senjo rolled his eyes, as if he didn't even have the intention to explain.

The tacit understanding between her and Su Lun is not a relationship between a man and a woman.

At this moment, Qian Jiao thought of something and suddenly revealed the frivolous look of a female gangster. She dragged the chin of Yuzi next to her with her hand, looked at it for a moment, and said seriously: "I think you two are quite suitable. You have good looks, white skin, and a great figure. Su Lun must be very satisfied." ”

The two of them had known each other well in the Pirate City before, and they had no scruples about talking to each other.

Kamifu Miko didn't know why the fire burned her body, and she couldn't laugh or cry, "Senjo-sensei is joking, I am a shrine maiden who serves the gods. I will devote my whole life to the gods."

"Oh, I almost forgot, only the purest girls can serve the gods."

Qianjou smacked his lips, but his face was unconcerned.

She thought of something, her expression became even more playful, and she joked: "However, if you meet Su Lun, your ideal of 'serving the God for life' may not be realized."

Miko: "..."

.......

After a while, Su Lun digested the knowledge that poured into his mind, his eyes gradually became clear, and he sighed with emotion: "Fortunately, the Shinto secret technique can preserve the soul, which at least saved me several years of hard work. ”

This Axi is much more knowledgeable and understanding than his fourth-level pirate brother.

Su Lun digested those memories and instantly felt that he had gained a lot.

His current Death Shadow can peel off the soul of a fifth-level professional and obtain about 3% of the total soul fragments. In order to gain as much knowledge as possible about the "Rune Warlock", he even gave up the very formal understanding of the fifth-level wind law and the sword's sword intention that this guy had learned.

However, the effect of this trade-off is also excellent.

"Rune Warlock" is an alchemy system that specializes in the study of runes. There is no slight difference between professionals and amateurs.

In an instant, he gained a massive depth and expansion of rune knowledge, which made Su Lun feel that his attainments in runes had reached a big level.

More importantly, with this knowledge as a basis, he can better understand the [Rune Heritage Scroll] he obtained.

Thinking of this, Su Lun took out the yellowed scroll again and spread it out in front of his eyes. The densely packed small characters came into view.

This nearly ten-meter-long scroll records almost all the rune knowledge, progression sequences, and combat secrets that the "Old Rune Man" brought out from the Luying Imperial Capital.

This scroll is not just pure text, but also has some encrypted content and special runes.

Thanks to Su Lun peeling off Axi's soul, he was able to decipher all the contents with almost no obstacles.

Su Lun glanced at ten lines, and the waves in his eyes reflected the densely packed words.

This scroll is like a key, opening the door to the mystery of the runes.

But the mystery of runes is as deep as the ocean. It was like he had found a treasure chest in the ocean.

Even though Su Lun is now considered a "master" in runes, the content on this scroll is enough for him to study for a lifetime.

Su Lun did not intend to completely digest these things. He wanted to find a way to refine [imitation original runes].

If you advance to the fourth level as you wish and come back to look at the scroll, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!

Su Lun's eyes carefully searched the contents on the scroll, and then in the "Advanced Sequence Selection" section, he found several classic advancement paths of the Rune Warlock lineage, ranging from levels 1 to 6.

As expected, he quickly found several professional material refining formulas that could be adapted to [imitation original runes].

After analysis, the two most suitable ones were finally selected, one is called [Universal Comprehension] and the other is called [Zosimos’ Sky Eye].

The first refining formula is the "universal formula". The degree of integration is not too high, but fortunately the materials are not difficult to find, and the final product is quite effective.

The second recipe requires some strange materials, such as [the corpse dust of the lake demon], [narwhal tears], [high-level siren's brain]... some of these materials even It was something Su Lun had never heard of before. The material is tricky, and accordingly, the effect will be very good.

"These materials are hard to find..."

Although Su Lun was mentally prepared, Su Lun frowned as he watched.

Alchemists are very thorough in the field of materials, and they are not limited to a certain type of material. As long as the specific role of the material in the drawing can be analyzed, you can actually find alternatives to other materials with similar functions.

Fortunately, this scroll also introduced the "pharmacology" and "medicinal properties" of various materials in detail. Su Lun looked at it carefully and thought of several substitute materials.

However, there is still a lot missing.

If you want to unleash more of the characteristics of a top-level item like [Imitation of the Original Rune], the higher-grade materials you use to match it, the better.

Those materials may not be found in top auction houses.

"Hey, how can I find a way to raise it all in a short time..."

The materials in Su Lun's hand were quite different. The first thing he thought of was the other members of the Mirror Organization, and he wanted to use the communicator to ask first.

While I was in a state of trance, the sound of water suddenly sounded in the courtyard outside the house.

Looking again, it was Senjou and three others who came in after taking a bath in the hot spring.
