Ning Bufan was very excited when he heard what Master Gongye said.

He is now a cultivator of the three qi of the True Yuan Realm, although he is not weak in the Ning clan, but compared with geniuses like Qi Hao and Ji Kang of the Ji clan, he is still a little worse.

Especially Qi Hao, now he has regarded Ning Bufan as a thorn in his eye, a thorn in his flesh, and he can't get rid of it.

Ning Bufan could have a hunch that the next time they met, there would inevitably be a vicious battle.

And what he can rely on now is the powerful ability of the Taishang Cyclone to absorb spiritual energy, as well as the high-level defense method Dragon Divine Body, but with these alone, I am afraid that he is not Qi Hao's opponent.

In addition, there is only the Xuanyin Thorn left, but over the years, there are not a few magic weapons that the Qi clan has obtained from the Spirit Weapon Workshop, such as Qi Yuan's Black Soul Spear, which is a high-level magic weapon.

If Qi Hao can get it, I'm afraid that Ning Bufan at this moment won't be able to resist even a move.

But if Master Gongye uses the magic method to upgrade the Xuanyin Thorn, then Ning Bufan will have one more killer feature, and in that case, in the face of Qi Hao in the future, there will also be one more means to save his life.

"Master, can the magic weapon still be upgraded?" Ning Bufan suddenly asked.

"Of course. Master Gongye nodded and said: "The so-called alchemy is actually to use rare ores and spirit crystals as carriers to condense powerful spiritual energy on it, so that when it erupts during the battle, it is equivalent to having one more comrade-in-arms who fights side by side, and naturally takes advantage of it." ”

Ning Bufan's expression moved, and the master's explanation was simple and direct, allowing him, a layman, to roughly understand the principle of alchemy in a moment.

"However, it is easier said than done. Ordinary magic weapons are made by refiners to spend a lot of effort before they can be successfully refined. You must know that there is a strong aura in it, and it is extremely difficult to store them in a weapon. ”

Ning Bufan nodded, he had cultivated so far, and he naturally knew the power of aura. The sea of qi in his body contained a super strong energy, but this energy was something that he had spent a lot of trouble and used the meridians in his body to shake.

Those magic weapons have neither a sea of qi nor meridians, but they can hold such a strong spiritual power, it is a bit unbelievable to think about it.

"In the past, some powerful refiners, even in their lifetime, only refined a few or even only one weapon, and that kind of weapon was enough to kill immortals and gods, so it was called an immortal weapon, an artifact!"

As Master Gongye spoke, a look of awe appeared on his face. Those immortal weapons and artifacts were all legendary existences, and even he had never heard of them.

"Then is there anything stronger than an artifact in the world?" Ning Bufan suddenly had a hint of curiosity and couldn't help but ask.

Master Gongye was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed, and he replied after a while: "No one knows about this, but I heard some legends that recorded that in ancient times, far, far away, there was a weapon in the world that could break the void and destroy the world......

"Such a weapon is called a holy weapon!"

Master Gongye said, his mouth was also a little dry, and after a while he continued: "However, no one has seen this holy artifact, and it is not even recorded in the book, maybe it is just a rumor." ”

When he saw Ning Bufan's stunned expression, his face suddenly straightened.

"You haven't even entered the door of alchemy, so don't think about it. ”

Ning Bufan smiled embarrassedly, but a strange feeling suddenly flashed in his head, as if he had seen the holy weapon before.

"Okay, let's talk about the general process of refining the weapon first, and then strengthen the Xuanyin Thorn for you. ”

If it were someone else, Master Gongye would never have such patience, but the talent that Ning Bufan showed today really surprised the master too much, and gave birth to a strong sense of love.

"If you want to successfully refine a weapon, you must first have the Refining Furnace as a place to accommodate the spiritual energy, and then invest in the spirit crystals and ores, quench its edge with fire, dissolve its impurities with water, and then wait for the spirit crystals to completely turn into pure energy, the ore will dissolve, and then use your soul power to control its formation......"

"There is no room for error in one of these steps, otherwise all the work done will be lost. ”

"Generally, refining an intermediate magic weapon like the Xuanyin Thorn requires at least twenty spirit crystals of a first-grade spirit beast, twenty spirit crystals of a second-grade spirit beast, and countless rare ores to be refined. ”

Master Gongye slowly explained the process, and then added: "Of course, this is still on the premise that you succeed at the first time, if you are not proficient in learning, I am afraid that the materials consumed will far exceed these." ”

As he spoke, Ning Bufan on the side had already opened his mouth wide and was secretly speechless.

Twenty first-grade spirit crystals, twenty second-grade spirit crystals......

This is equivalent to a few months' income of the Ning clan, not to mention how many mercenaries will die behind it in order to hunt these spirit crystals.

It seems that these magic weapons are really extremely expensive existences, and even if they are such a big force as the three major families, I am afraid they will not be able to come up with much.

"This refiner, it's really a money-burning industry, no wonder it's so rare, even if you have talent, you don't have so many family resources to lose!" Ning Bufan felt a pain in his heart.

"By the way, in addition to these materials, the most precious thing for the refiner is the refining diagram, which is the premise to ensure the success rate. If you just rely on your own exploration, I'm afraid that even if your Ning clan loses all your family property, you won't be able to refine a magic weapon. ”

"The refining diagram of this Xuanyin Thorn is divided into two, and because of the lack of materials back then, the old man only refined the first half. This time, you happened to send some spirit stones, and the old man took out two of them and completed the half for you. ”

When Ning Bufan heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, he thought that he would take out the materials to strengthen the Xuanyin Thorn by himself, although he was the young patriarch of the Ning clan, but in addition to a little silver on his body, he was actually poor and jingled, not to mention the second-grade spirit crystal, even if it was a first-grade spirit crystal, he couldn't take it out.

Master Gongye greeted, and a few servants came over from outside the door, holding a treasure chest, and handed it over.

The master took it slowly, with a hint of excitement on his face. Even for him, things like spirit stones are not very common. This rare ore is enough to refine a spiritual weapon that surpasses the magic weapon.

"Because the first part has been completed, there is no need for many spirit crystals, what it needs is your aura. Only when you are in touch with it can you exert its greatest power. ”

"So, don't look at the fact that many people have obtained many magic weapons from the refiner, but if the refiner does a little trick in it, those magic weapons will get out of control at any time. ”

Ning Bufan was secretly shocked when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that there were so many ways for refiners.

"The old man has said so much, the most important thing is to refine it himself. This time, you should watch it first, don't miss every action, every link, as for how much you can comprehend, it's up to you. ”

Master Gongye's face gradually became solemn, and with a wave of his hand, a one-man tall bronze Ding Furnace flew over, burning with a strong flame and emitting a terrifying high temperature.

Then he slowly opened the treasure chest and took out the two spirit stones inside, as if he was holding a priceless treasure.

Ning Bufan didn't dare to come out on the side, just watched with wide eyes.

Master Gongye held the spirit stone in one hand, but he was not in a hurry to put it into the Ding furnace, but opened the palm of his other hand and stuck to the side of the Ding furnace.

With his deep sigh, the furnace suddenly rumbled, and the flames in it suddenly soared extremely high, and the scorching temperature flew out from the small holes in the ding, baking the whole room like a stove.

After a while, Ning Bufan saw that two auras, one red and one blue, appeared in Master Gongye's palm, intertwining with each other like elves.

Ning Bufan saw a familiar feeling in those two aura, one was like the essence of fire, although the volume was very small, but the energy contained in it was probably stronger than the flame in the Ding furnace, and the other was the water spirit, which was cold and piercing, suppressing the high temperature of the flame, and suppressing it all into the Ding furnace, so as not to let it leak a little.

"This ...... Isn't this the aura of fire and water?"

Ning Bufan exclaimed in his heart, he had swallowed the Fire Ring Spirit Snake before, and he had accidentally cultivated these two kinds of spiritual energy in his body, but he didn't know what it was for?

At this moment, seeing Master Gongye's operation, the aura in his sea of qi also seemed to be summoned and became restless.

"Xuanyin Thorn, take it out. ”

Hearing a shout from Master Gongye, Ning Bufan hurriedly walked over, and with a movement of consciousness, summoned the Xuanyin Thorn.

The blue blade floated in mid-air, and with the summoning of the master, it suddenly entered the Ding Furnace.

In an instant, Ning Bufan saw through those small holes that those flames completely enveloped the Xuanyin Thorn, and the scorching heat burned it gradually transparent, as if it had turned into liquid.

Immediately after, a little bit of black impurity was slowly forced out of it, and instantly turned into ashes in the flames.

After a while, the Xuanyin Thorn had already turned into a crystal color, and there was terrifying energy condensed on it, and even Ning Bufan, who was a few meters away, felt a little frightened.

But at the same time, there was also a trace of excitement in his heart, which made him breathless. He felt that the energy on the Xuanyin Thorn was getting stronger and stronger, and its form had a visible change to the naked eye.

The intermediate-level magic weapon Xuanyin Thorn has slowly evolved to a high-level!

Just when the change in the form of the Xuanyin Thorn slowed down, Master Gongye's hands trembled a little, and this evolutionary process entered the final stage.

The master crossed the water and fire into the Ding furnace with one hand, and slowly threw the spirit stone into it with the other hand.

The next moment, under the wrapping of the scorching flames, the impurities on the surface of the spirit stone were instantly peeled off, revealing the purest place in the middle.

Even this kind of spirit-grade ore could not withstand the flame of the fire spirit manipulated by Master Gongye, and gradually, the spirit stone melted and attached to the surface of the Xuanyin thorn, adding a powerful aura to it.

Just when Ning Bufan was so excited to see it, he suddenly heard another violent voice from Master Gongye.

"Come here, use your soul power to sense, as long as you can succeed, this Xuanyin Thorn will always only listen to your instructions and become a high-level magic weapon that truly belongs to you!"
