Chapter 12: Experiments

There are not many tree species in the valley, only bamboo, red pine, dragon pine, ironwood, camphor, peach, and several other miscellaneous trees have been found. Among the stones, most of them are strange stones that they picked up when they used to play with white wolves and red crows, and they are colorful. It's good-looking, and you have to try it to know if it's useful. Jia Jie also went to the top of the highest mountain to pick up some cobblestones with faint brilliance, the kind he used to make up the numbers when he set up the formation last time. These stones absorb the essence of the sun and the moon all year round, and have some aura. The clan elder's small vault was looted by Jia Jie again, and the last two spirit stones were looted out by Jia Jie, so angry that the old man almost hanged himself. Jia Jie rolled his eyes and said nonchalantly, in two days, the master will go to exterminate the group of water flies, mine the spirit stone, and let you sleep with it every day!

The scarcity of spirit stones did plague Jia Jie. Every time, the three or two spirit stones in the hands of the old robber who have a dead face make him blush when he thinks about it. Although it is said that cultivators can cultivate as long as they have aura, the speed of cultivation is still very different. This valley is really not a place with abundant spiritual energy! Think about it, if there are a large number of spiritual stones arranged in a spiritual gathering array, and a large stream of spiritual energy swarms in, how quickly it will be cultivated! Therefore, it is imperative to eliminate the water flies and recapture the spiritual stone veins!

Jia Jie searched the entire valley and found only two pieces of metal: the broken flying sword of his deceased cultivator brother's collection from the clan elder, and a fist-sized piece of extraterrestrial meteorite.

After sorting out the materials, Jia Jie began to think carefully about the refining method. For refining, Jia Jie's mind was not completely blank. He found a large number of immortal cultivators from the information base, among them, there were a variety of refining methods. Although it is all speculation, it has little credibility. It can still bring a lot of ideas to Jia Jie.

According to what is written, refining is nothing more than selecting the right material, refining it, and then embedding the appropriate formation.

There are only so many kinds of materials, and they are still the most common, can you use two words. There will only be a few pitiful elders of the formation clan, the Spirit Gathering Array, the Essence Extraction Array, the Fire Array, and the incomplete ** Array. This made Jia Jie speechless for a while, none of the four formations could be used to attack! But this can't be blamed on the clan elder, he is not a cultivator after all, even if there is a profound formation, he has no mana to use. Moreover, according to the clan elders, even the Nanshan clan did not have a systematic method of cultivating immortals, and there were even fewer formations. Finally, Jia Jie, who was about to go crazy, remembered the alchemy furnace of the clan elder, which was said to have been found by the clansmen from the lair of a demon beast when the Yan clan had just moved over. Dan furnace is not gold or wood, black paint, and there are various flowers, grasses, insects, fish, birds and beasts on the outside, which looks simple and generous. Qing Luodan's formula turned out to be carved out by the clan elder from these patterns, sweat!

Jia Jie put his hand on the wall of the furnace and slowly fed the aura into it. There was a repulsion from the Dan furnace, and his hand flicked away. Jia Jie was taken aback, excited, and began to study it carefully. After some hard work, Jia Jie finally comprehended several formations from the outermost prohibition of the Dan Furnace, including the Qianyin Open Heaven Array that bounced off Jia Jie's hand just now, and several other formations, all of which were used to strengthen magic weapons. This Thousand Hidden Open Heaven Array is a very powerful attack formation, once it is touched by an external force, it will attack. Fortunately, the mana that Jia Jie imported into the Dan Furnace just now was too "weak", otherwise he would have been injured by now. This Dan furnace is quite strange, Jia Jie estimates that there are at least ten layers of prohibition in the Dan furnace. It's a pity that Jia Jie's cultivation can only go around on the first layer.

Silently recalling the few formations he knew, Jia Jie took a piece of dragon pattern pine with the thickness of the bowl mouth. The dragon pine grows very slowly, the wood is fine, and the fragrance emitted has a condensation effect, and the vitality is strong. The clan elders used dragon pine to burn charcoal to make alchemy, which was suspected of destroying the heavens. This dragon pine is a thousand-year-old tree, and the aura is very strong. Transporting the mana, Jia Jie carved the essence extraction formation one by one on the wood with his fingers. A refinement array was carved, and the thick wood at the mouth of the bowl became thinner, and the essence in the wood was condensed together, and the aura was a little stronger. After carving five essence extraction formations in a row, only a palm-sized piece of the entire dragon pattern pine remained, and the aura flowed, green and lovely. This is already the limit of what Jia Jie can do, his head is dripping with sweat, and his mana consumption is very large. What is extracted is the wood essence of the dragon pine, which is the essence of the whole tree.

Trees are limited by the number of years they grow and are gifted, and can withstand a variety of refinements. The more years there are, the more refined the tree can withstand. The more times you refine and the fewer impurities, the better the quality of the wood essence will be. Jia Jie called this wood essence obtained by five refining times the five refining wood essence. After many experiments, this kind of five-refining wood essence refined from the thousand-year-old dragon pattern pine extract is already of quite high quality, at least there is no better wood in the valley.

After cultivating for a while and recovering his mana, Jia Jie refined several other trees separately and obtained a few pieces of wood essence. Hundreds of pieces of wood have only been refined into a small pile of wood essences, and the quality is not very good, Jia Jie was speechless for a while. Jia Jie left the longest section of thousand-year-old peach wood unrefined, ready to try to make some peach charms.

The Essence Extraction Array can only be used to refine plants, but it is powerless against metal. Fortunately, Jia Jie is a fire cultivator and has his own way.

The only metal collected was a small piece of meteorite and a few fragments of the flying sword, which was obviously not enough. Jajay sent out a spiritual fire and fused them to the side. The ability to use spiritual fire in the innate realm is still the patent of fire-based cultivators, and cultivators of other departments must also reach the qi induction stage at the earliest before they can use powerful mana to give birth to spiritual fire.

The spiritual fire has been out of the realm of mortal fire, and it is powerful, and it is very good to use it for refining weapons.

After that, Jia Jie began to learn from the Terran Virgin Nuwa Niangniang, and struggled to refine the stone.

After some hard work, Jia Jie came to refine a large number of stones and obtained a few strange and unknown substances. Most of the colorful stones lived up to expectations, and after refining them, they obtained a mass of equally colorful substance. More stones were refined by the spiritual fire for a long time, and finally a puff of green smoke was emitted, and nothing was left. Fortunately, the stones at the top of the mountain were more competitive, and a few pieces of metal that looked like fine iron were smelted.

After the materials are prepared, the next step is to start the formation.

To be on the safe side, Jia Jie tried his hand with the worse materials first. The result was rather sad, all the low-level materials were used up, and Jia Jie only succeeded in refining a small bracelet. The bracelet is made of those colorful substances and a piece of three-refining wood, and it is also very beautiful, but unfortunately it is only carved into a spirit gathering array, and even a defensive formation has not been added. It's not that I don't want to, but the material has reached the limit of bearing, and the formation material will collapse if it is carved into it. This is still a lesson that Jia Jie learned by refining a lot of materials.

It can only be worn by the red crow as an ornament, and she must be very happy. Although this bracelet is a failed work, it is fortunate that the color is relatively beautiful, and it can also gather aura and give it to the little girl to play with, which is a good gift.

After putting the bracelet away, Jia Jie decided to make a desperate bet, melting the meteoric iron, the fragments of the flying sword, and the five refining wood essences one by one with spiritual fire, turning them into a fist-sized mass of black and green mixed liquid suspended in the air. The flying volley of his right hand depicts the formation. Well, let's have a reinforcement formation first, and it will be successful. Then, Qianyin opened the heavenly array. Jia Jie portrayed it very carefully, over. Hmm, the materials haven't reached the limit yet? Jia Jie estimated, gritted his teeth, and punched the fire array into it. In the end, Jia Jie quickly formed a handprint, Zheng, a short sword about a foot long and only two fingers wide, and the shining light was officially formed!

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
