Time has passed, never to be returned.

The past can only be recalled.

Spring goes to autumn, and it goes through ten degrees of cold and heat.

this day.

Yuezhou, Anhua County, Qinling Mountains, Feiying Mountain, a deep lava cave.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Chen Jichuan was shirtless, wielding a hammer vigorously, smashing again and again. Under his hammer, an iron sword gradually took shape.

Sledgehammer for small hammer.

Small hammer for big hammer.

Control the hammer on one side and the sword embryo on the other.

Through the difference in strength, there are many lines left on both sides of the sword body, which looks complex and subtle. The lines gradually increase, and at first they are a little abrupt and not very harmonious. With the passage of time, there are more and more lines, entangled with each other, deep and shallow layers on top of each other, and there is a wonderful beauty.

It's unbearable.

I don't know how long it took.

Chen Jichuan finally stopped, the sword embryo in his hand had been formed, and he was only about to open at the end.

The lines are wrapped, covered, and deeply buried, and only a few are revealed, which is beautiful.

Ordinary people only think it is decoration, but they don't know that there are infinite mysteries inside.

Grip the hilt of the sword with pliers and swing it twice to feel it slightly. He threw it aside and hung it on top of the magma.

Look at it in the blink of an eye.

Such an unopened long sword has hundreds of swords of various styles, lengths and shorts.

Shaken by the heat of the magma below, some of them are close, and they collide with each other and make a clanging sound.

"It's not easy to refine weapons!"

Chen Jichuan glanced at it casually and sighed.

It's another decade.

He has been in the Qinling World for eighteen or nineteen years, and from the time he first came in, he was comprehending Situ Kong's Dao Fruit and learning the basic knowledge of refining.

For ordinary monks, these foundations are the greatest threshold.

The refining weapon is broad and profound, and it is not as simple as alchemy.

First of all, you must have a certain understanding of various ores, metals and even other kinds of refining materials, be able to identify, know the characteristics, know how to refine, how to quench, and be able to skillfully use this knowledge.

That's all it takes ten years of hard work, if not more.

During this period.

I also need to learn the 'refining language'.

Magic weapons and magic weapons are used by monks, and they themselves have great power. After being refined by the monk, the power is far beyond that of ordinary blades.

And all of this is based on the runes and formations in the magic weapon.

Each basic rune is like a text. Each formation is like a sentence. If you want to refine weapons, if you want to burn runes and formations, you must learn thousands of basic runes.

Wait until you finish your studies.

At this time, you can refine the lowest level magic weapon.

For example, the 'Tempest Sword' with only one 'Tempest' rune.

For example, there is only one 'light' rune 'Light Boots'.

This is the easiest, you only need to master the basic runes, you only need to have a certain understanding of the corresponding refining materials, and then skillfully burn the runes on the tools forged from the corresponding refining materials.

But these are easy to say, but even this step can stop many people.

In the future, forging more complex magic weapons, it is also necessary to further understand the shengke of each basic rune. Which runes are combined together, can amplify each other, and with fewer runes, a stronger magic weapon will be forged. And what runes can't be put together, which will cause conflicts.

If multiple runes are combined, not only will they not clash, but they will increase their power, which is the 'formation'.

This cannot be done by rote memorization, but must be understood.

Because different magic weapons, different magic weapons, and even the same magic weapons and the same magic weapons, there are also great or subtle differences in refining materials.

There is such a difference, and if you want to apply the same formation, there will be more or less problems of one kind or another.

Only by knowing the rules and principles can we adapt to changes and change runes at will, so as to give full play to the characteristics of materials and the power of the formation.

'Runes' are like 'words', and 'formations' are like 'sentences', so the 'rules' in the runes that form formations can be called 'grammar'.

But this kind of 'grammar' is beyond many languages in the world, and it is unimaginably complex and profound.

Practicing Alchemy –

Memorize the runes first.

Let's remember the simple formation.

Then learn as you learn and summarize the rules from it. An excellent refiner often has a deep attainment in theory and an extremely profound grasp of the law.

Not only can we read from the script, but we can also bring forth the new.

Chen Jichuan is now in the stage of 'reading from the script'. In the past ten years, there has not been much time to put on the refining weapon, but it is also a lot, but it has not been possible to combine the basic runes into the most basic formation, let alone the combination of the formation and the formation, forming a closed loop and refining the magic weapon.

I can only barely forge some low-level and middle-level magic weapons.

This still relies on the Dao Fruit of Situ Kong, the refining master of the Jade Spring World.

Otherwise, he might not even have memorized all the basic runes by now.

Hotel Chen Jichuan is in a peaceful mood.

Plus plenty of time for a long life.

He can be slow, accumulate little by little, make progress little by little, and not be in a hurry.

It's about the same today.

In this Flying Eagle Mountain, he also nested for seven or eight days, Chen Jichuan had a little gain, and then he had to cooperate with Situ Kong's Dao Fruit to digest the harvest of these days.

Moreover, the refining materials in this cave are also almost consumed, and they need to be replenished.

So he didn't stay in the Eagle Mountain any longer.

"Red Scales!"

Calling at the magma—

Whoa!

The hot lava surged, and a hill-like monster leaped out.

The feet are more than three zhang tall and five or six zhang long, covered with black scales, with four hooves, extremely short spikes on the back, and a long and large mouth.

Ordinary people are like ants in front of it.

Just one glance, I'm afraid I will lose my fear.

If Mrs. Wang was here, she would definitely be able to recognize that this monster was the 'Red Scale Beast' that was accompanied by the 'Black Fire Spirit Fruit' that helped her advance to the Innate Spirit.

It is recorded in the classics.

The Red-scaled Beast is ferocious and untamable.

And that was true in the beginning.

Chen Jichuan followed it, beat it, and snatched its treasured Black Fire Spirit Fruit and Black Fire Spirit Root, making the Red Scale Beast hate this human being.

But Chen Jichuan first restrained it with the 'Tightening Spell' afterwards, tortured it, and used all kinds of pills to feed it and tempt it.

One hand stick, the other hand sweet dates.

It took seven or eight years to subdue this red-scaled beast and let it be driven.

kept feeding the pills, and the 'Black Fire Spirit Fruit' was robbed by him and given to the master. The 'Black Fire Spirit Root' was also taken away by him and rewarded to Wang Yan.

But this is because the elixir he refined is not good for them, otherwise there is no way to explain the source.

And for the Red Scale Beast, there is no need.

Most of the elixirs refined for exercising alchemy skills went into the belly of this red-scaled beast, except for some of them being sealed and some of them being used for their own use.

Chen Jichuan can tame this beast, the effect of the 'Tightening Spell' is actually not much, what really makes this red-scaled beast bow down is the endless pill in his hand, and the strength of the red-scaled beast after swallowing the pill.

This guy isn't stupid.

……

Shout!

Chen Jichuan snapped out a 'Huoyang Pill' with his fingers.

The Redscaled Beast opened its mouth and swallowed.

Smacking his lips with satisfaction, he jumped up, and in the air, his muscles, bones, and scale armor were all rapidly compressed in an instant, and when he fell from the air to Chen Jichuan's side, he had become the size of an ordinary horse.

The spikes on his back were also put away.

Without the absolute oppression of its size, the Redscale Beast was a little uglier, but it was not so scary.

"Drive!"

Chen Jichuan turned over his back, and after a short time, he came out of the cave.

……

Leaving Flying Eagle Mountain, out of Anhua County.

Chen Jichuan replaced the red-scaled beast with an ordinary horse and rushed to Pengshan City.

A few days later.

rushed to Pengshan City, and before he could return to the fourth station of the Bloody Clothes Army, he was invited by the sect master Yang Xiong.

"Sect Master."

Chen Jichuan came to the hall.

There was no one else, only Yang Xiong.

"It's back." Yang Xiong smiled when he saw Chen Jichuan returning, and said, "What did you call over for, I guess you also heard something on the way." ”

"I've heard a little, but the details are not very clear."

"I only know that there is movement in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, which has attracted people from all major sects and rivers and lakes to gather."

Chen Jichuan rushed back from Flying Eagle Mountain all the way.

Before entering Pengshan County, the sections of the road were all on horseback, and they were all on the inaccessible mountains and rivers.

After entering Pengshan County, he changed to an ordinary horse and galloped on the official road, and found that there were far more people coming and going than in the past, and they were in a hurry, most of them were running to the south.

Inquire a little.

Only then did I know that there was something moving in the depths of the Qinling Mountains.

But what it is, no one can say.

Some say that they have discovered the treasure of Emperor Yong, some say that they have discovered the treasure of the Sword Ancestor, and some say that rare demon beasts, peerless divine beasts, immortal elixirs and so on have been found in the Qinling Mountains.

I don't have a score.

The truth and falsehood of all kinds of news are mixed together, and Chen Jichuan is not clear.

"It's not the treasure of Emperor Yong, it's not the treasure of the Sword Ancestor, it's the demon beast and the immortal medicine."

Yang Xiong and Chen Jichuan didn't sell it, and explained the specific situation to him.

Chen Jichuan only knew.

It turned out that someone had discovered a group of iron-armed monkeys in the depths of the Qinling Mountains.

The Taixu Sword Sect had already confirmed the news and determined the location of the monkey group.

The Iron Arm Monkey is a monster.

According to the classics, the most special thing about the iron arm monkey is a pair of forearms and a pair of front paws. Those arms seemed to be forged by divine soldiers, invulnerable, and infinitely powerful, and could easily tear fierce beasts apart. The sharpest thing is the pair of claws, which can easily crush boulders.

A single iron-armed monkey is enough to tear apart a first-class martial artist and beat the master of "Earth List".

Among them, the small leader has the strength of an ordinary Transforming Strength Grandmaster.

And the leader of it is even more extreme, not weak "Heavenly List" grandmaster. The Iron Arm Monkey King is even more invincible as a grandmaster, not only the king of the Iron Arm Monkey group, but also the king of demon beasts.

In this way, the individual strength of the iron arm monkey is already extremely strong.

But what is even more terrifying about the iron arm monkeys compared to their individual strength is that they live in groups in the mountains and wilderness. Whether it is predation or fighting, they are all rushing up and cooperating with each other, no worse than the elite soldiers who have been trained all year round.

Hundreds of iron-armed monkeys roared through the mountains, even if they filled in all the 12,000 blood-clothed troops, they were afraid that they would not be opponents.

Strong.

Invincible in group battles.

This is Chen Jichuan's first impression of the iron arm monkey group.

Then I thought of another skill of the iron arm monkey group -

……
