Chapter 231: Reforging the Broken Nail
Gu Xiaowu lived in an inn in Beicheng this time, and also rented a small attic, after thirty years of continuous hard work, his cultivation has been restored to the late stage of cave building, and at this time, a rough framework has been rebuilt in the dantian, but it may be that the nest he built is not dense enough, and the mana in his body and those mana true elements cannot be attached to it, and he has not been able to break through the condensing spirit.
Although he has not yet succeeded in condensing the spirit, he is still ready to cast a new magic nail, the reason is that Lan Dou is very unhappy after waking up, the little guy Hongdou has a magic weapon, but he is still empty-handed, very envious of the mung bean Red Bean who wakes up from time to time to play with his magic weapon with Shen Yuan, and it is very satisfied with Xiao Wu's redesign of the magic nail, and wants to refine the magic nail into his own magic weapon, which urges Gu Xiaowu to refine the magic nail.
Xiao Wu has no objection to Lan Dou's request, after all, Lan Dou's magic weapon is also his magic weapon, and he doesn't know when he will be able to condense his spirit into a pill, and he can't always delay using the magic nail. The time he could stay in Tianhe City was running out, so he decided to use the time below to concentrate on refining magic weapons, so that even if there were any materials missing in the middle, he could raise them in time.
This time, there is a lot of information based on the recasting of the broken nail, not only borrowing the prototype of a forbidden magic nail in the immortal map, but also extracting the condensation method and part of the building principle of the material from the "Towering Creation", and finding several refining techniques and experiences of the Heavenly Creation Gate from the space armband. With enough experience in his hand, he himself had a design prototype for the magic nail, and then made a slight adjustment to the ban on the magic nail according to the requirements of Lan Dou, and finally it took half a year to settle the idea of the magic nail, and collected a large number of materials back to refine according to the plan, and it took a whole year to prepare all the materials that would be used. He first slept for three days to restore his spirit to the best state, and then meditated and meditated for three days, constantly deducing the steps and techniques needed for refining the weapon every day, and only after three days did he start refining the magic weapon, this time the speed was not fast but very meticulous, and he did not choose the ordinary stove in the attic, and still used the method of mana burning to smelt the material.
As early as a long time ago, Gu Xiaowu had already refined the refining materials using special methods, and this refining was to use all his thoughts on the condensation of different materials and the addition of the forbidden array, which was the most complicated and important step in the refining technique, of course, the premise was that the materials selected by himself could be fit, otherwise he would not be able to complete the engraving of the forbidden rune array.
In addition to having a certain amount of experience in the selection and matching of materials, refiners must also have a certain understanding of the arrangement of the forbidden magic circle, otherwise they will not be able to add prohibitions to the refining process of magic weapons. The more senior refiners will have a variety of forbidden arrays, they can change the prohibitions added to the magic weapons according to their needs, so that the refining weapons have different characteristics, and the higher refiners have mastered some special refining skills and flexible use of rune arrays, and the magic weapons they make are much more flexible. As for the sect refiners and the top refiners cultivated by the four academies, they are all existences with rich experience and inheritance secret skills, and the information resources and techniques they master are not something that ordinary people can understand. In order to successfully complete the inscriptions of various forbidden arrays, Gu Xiaowu's research and trials on those arrays have not stopped, and he feels that he is about to become a low-level array master, and now he is most worried about whether the material condensation is smooth, but fortunately, he has learned a lot of experience from the refining experience information and the old man surnamed Zhao, and the selection of this material is still applicable.
In fact, although Gu Xiaowu's level at this time did not reach the proficiency level of the sect's refiners, the refining skills were still a little rusty, but the stupid man has a stupid man's method, he has been designing for several years in order to refine the magic weapon, relying on the strong and difficult characteristics of the stalagmite, he chose the special method of refining a treasure in the immortal diagram, and also borrowed from the refining theory in the Heavenly Creation Gate "Towering Heavenly Creation", which made up for his lack of experience, so this time he was still eighty percent sure that he could refine a high-level magic weapon. As for whether he can reach the Xuan level, he doesn't know, after all, he has also refined a mid-level magic weapon before, but it is relatively rough and defective, as for whether he can refine the Xuan level this time, he doesn't dare to guarantee it, because until now he has not found out what the difference between a Xuan-level magic weapon and an ordinary high-level magic weapon is.
Decades of time is just a drop in the ocean for an ancient city like Tianhe City that has stood until now in the long years, and the monks' residences in the western half of it are always full of traffic, and the commercial buildings and auction houses are also crowded with people and prosperous business, and recently, many powerful disciples have come to Tianhe City in batches, some of them are living in seclusion inside, some are wandering around, some are spending all day and wine, and some are frantically collecting resources.
On this day, Gu Xiaowu was out!
It is said that ten years of sharpening a sword, Xiao Wu to create a refining weapon, although it has not been used for ten years, but seven or eight years of busyness has still been used, although the refining technique he chose is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it is the easiest to operate the refining tool, that is, the refining tool can be operated slowly if it is not proficient. Even so, Xiao Wu still failed to refine twice, and even had to go out to collect a batch of materials to come back for refining, and finally completed the refining of the magic weapon and helped Lan Dou refine it into a magic weapon. I don't know if this newly refined magic weapon has a Xuan-level level, but one of them has been refined and already has the ability to imprison a space with the help of the Five Elements Aura, which is definitely an unexpected joy. This mainly relies on its main material, the mysterious stalagmite, which was born with the ability to imprison the five elements, and now it is only magnified by Xiao Wu.
He held the small nail covered with blue patterns, and still sighed in his heart, things really can't be perfect, although he has successfully recast this magic weapon, but its refining still does not reach the original intention.
Originally, he wanted to make up for the lack of flexibility and defense of the Broken Nail by changing several forbidden power and material characteristics inside, but after several attempts, he found that there were only two choices between power, defense and flexibility, and finally obeyed Blue Bean's request, giving up the improvement of its agility and flexibility, and only focusing on power and defense. Therefore, the power of this newly refined spell-breaking nail in breaking the defense has reached a higher level, and now even if he encounters a high-level defensive magic weapon, he can easily punch a hole in it, and because he retains the characteristics of the main material stalagmite and adds a large number of forbidden patterns according to the situation of the blue bean, its power in the ban defense far exceeds the power in the destruction of the ban, and it has become a forbidden magic weapon with strange effect. Xiao Wu is not surprised by this change in the magic nail, after all, the ability of the blue bean is the most strange and unpredictable among the three little guys, it inherits most of the characteristics of the floating life in concealment and sealing, as the magic weapon of the blue bean, of course, it must be in line with the characteristics of the blue bean. In order for Lan Dou to be satisfied, he specially modified and added a lot of special prohibitions, and then after the Shen Yuan Sacrifice of Lan Dou's special power, its characteristics are of course biased towards Lan Dou's own ability, and it has also become weird in terms of concealment seals, which just makes up for its shortcomings in agility and flexibility.
Although the Spell-Breaking Nail is even more wonderful, another discovery still makes Gu Xiaowu feel depressed, just because there are too many forbidden patterns he has added to the Spell-Breaking Nails, and he simply does not have enough mana and divine thoughts to urge this newly refined magic weapon now, so that it has temporarily become an ornament, and it has been wasted for seven or eight years, and in the end, he can't immediately improve his strength, which is also a very helpless thing.
After leaving the customs, Xiao Wu inquired a little, at this time, it was not far from the day when Tianzhu Academy opened for a hundred years to accept apprentices, and there was still a year or two, according to the gossip received, many sect disciples had entered Tianhe City in advance, and all parts of the city became more lively. He didn't want to participate in any excitement, so he honestly prepared to retreat and condense the spirit until the day came and then leave Tianhe City, of course, before the retreat, Gu Xiaowu first went out to buy a batch of thousand-year-old elixirs, and spent a full 400 million spirit stones, fortunately, on this day, the resources in the city are abundant, and he has collected enough quantities in just a small area, so that at least he will not have to worry about the elixir for at least a few decades. In fact, he still had more than 500 10,000-year elixirs in his hand from the spatial armband, but he was going to save these 10,000-year elixirs for use after Cheng Dan, and the other materials in the armband, Gu Xiaowu, couldn't use them now, so he could only put them aside. He estimated that his current net worth was about to catch up with that of a high-level cultivator in the Fitting Realm, so he shouldn't have to worry about the problem of resource consumption in the future, but instead he had to speed up his cultivation before he could achieve it, hoping that the Daoist Hall would have the information he was looking for to help him recover his spirit and advance to the Immortal Pill.
