Chapter 56: Lava Mud
Under Fang Hai's introduction, Lu Ling and the others came to the street in the Holy Spirit Heavenly Capital that specializes in selling metals needed to smelt weapons, this area sells a variety of strange metals, which can not only be used to forge weapons, but also can be used as materials for strengthening them.
Lu Ling couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately he asked Shanghai to come with him, otherwise he would be like a headless fly alone, and he might not be able to find a suitable material when it was dark.
When he came to this street, his worries changed from not being able to find materials to what kind of materials he should choose, because there are so many types of materials that are suitable for making sword plates.
"This is the fire elemental area, you two can take a look at it casually. A man leading the way for the two men pointed to a few shops on the side of the street.
Lu Ling nodded, stepped forward, and suddenly felt that layers of heat waves were coming. In front of him, there were pieces of ore or crystals of different shapes and sizes, all of which had their own characteristics to a greater or lesser extent, but the only thing they had in common was that inside them, they contained extremely rich fire elemental energy.
The fire element contained in each piece of material here far exceeded the energy contained in the flame crystal found by Lu Ling and the others in the cave at that time.
The dazzling array of materials made Lu Ling a little dazzled, he didn't know how to distinguish their advantages and disadvantages, so he had to ask Fang Hai beside him: "Brother Hai, which one do you think you should choose?"
Fang Hai stroked his chin with his hand, then pointed to a square crystal and said, "If you look at it from the energy fluctuations, this Earth Heart Flame Crystal is the best choice. β
Lu Ling looked at the Earth Heart Flame Crystal with a curious face, it was a red transparent crystal the size of a human head, I don't know if it was pure natural or cut, its shape was an extremely standard square, and from under the transparent crystal, you could see the energy liquid flowing like magma.
He sensed it carefully, and found that it was indeed this spar that fluctuated the most intensely in the flame energy.
However, just as he was about to choose the Geocentric Flame Crystal, Fang Hai stretched out his finger and pointed to the corner of the shop: "However, if it is a sword plate that is used to condense the Ten Thousand Transformation Sword Pattern, I recommend you to use this thing to try." β
Fang Hai's words caused Lu Ling to retract the hand stretched out towards the Earth Heart Flame Crystal, and he turned his head curiously, discovering that Fang Hai was referring to a piece of irregularly shaped soil.
The clump of dirt lay on the ground, its dark red hue making it extremely inconspicuous, and only the occasional flash of dim red light could detect the presence of the fire elemental.
"What's that?" Lu Ling reached out and pinched the piece of soil, which felt unexpectedly soft and hot.
The man guarding the stall glanced at Fang Hai with surprise and said, "This friend is really a good eye, this is something called lava mud, which exists at the bottom of the magma lake. β
"Lava mud?"
"Don't look at it as inconspicuous on the surface, in fact, this thing can store a very large amount of fire element, although it can't be used to make hard weapons due to material problems, but as long as you add a little bit to the production of other props, you can increase its capacity against fire elements by several percent, and its use can be described as quite extensive. β
When Lu Ling heard this, he became more and more interested in this piece of lava mud, but he didn't expect this thing to be so powerful, the so-called increase in the capacity of the props to the fire element, in other words, is actually that when it is used, it can exert more fire elements, and the power becomes more and more powerful.
"In addition, lava mud is more malleable, and it can be changed again after it is set, so you will have a lot less trouble modifying the sword board in the future. Fang Hai said.
Lu Ling nodded thoughtfully, in this way, this lava mud is indeed the best material for building a sword plate, and when his strength increases in the future, if the condensed sword pattern exceeds the capacity of the sword plate, it will be more convenient to expand.
So he took the lava mud in his hand and said with a grin, "That's it!"
"The price of this lava sludge is 1,200 cents. The man in the shop said, Lu Ling raised his eyebrows, this price is really not cheap.
However, Fang Hai smiled indifferently, and he threw out a cloth bag full of coins: "Bought it." β
The man smiled "hehe" after putting the cloth bag down, while Lu Ling sighed lightly and thanked Fang Hai solemnly again.
It seems that I can't live for nothing like this anymore, and I have to find a way to make money.
However, the top priority at the moment is to quickly build the sword plate that stores the Wanhua sword pattern.
When Fang Hai said goodbye to Fang Hai and returned to the hut, the sky had already turned gray.
Lu Ling sat in front of the desk and took out the lava mud, and then he released the magic flame to wrap it, and under the scorching flames, the lava mud began to tumble like a viscous liquid.
After thinking about it, Lu Ling had already imagined in his mind the model of the spirit disk he was going to build, so he turned the demon flame into two big hands and began to prepare to fabricate the model.
The sword disc designed by Lu Ling was a disc the size of a human face, and the markings on the disc spread out in circles like arrow targets.
Then, Lu Ling summoned a sword pattern and turned it into a condensed fire sword, carving dozens of small grooves on the circular markings of the sword plate like a carving knife, which was the place where the Wanhua sword pattern was placed.
It didn't take long for a round swordplate made of dark red clay to be completed, and although it was only taking shape, it was extremely delicate under the delicate carving of the Fire Condensing Sword.
Now that's all that remains for the most important steps.
Lu Ling waved his hand, and the Fire Condensing Sword suspended in the air flew back upside down, turning into a small sword pattern in his palm again, and at the same time, a sword pattern appeared again on his other hand.
This time, he planned to use the two Wanhua sword patterns to forge his original sword plate.
Recalling the process of making the sword plate by the predecessors of Yanxu today, Lu Ling did not hesitate to punch the two sword patterns into the prototype of the sword plate.
Flames erupted from the sword plate, and two Wanhua sword patterns quickly began to spread along the edge of the circle and inside the sword plate, and the fiery red slender lines were scattered on the sword plate's body, lighting every groove bright red.
When the two sword lines spread on both sides of the disc, until they converged in the center, there was a burst of fiery ripples that spread out in the center of the disc, emitting a low humming sound and bursting out of a dazzling light, illuminating the entire hut in a fiery red.
Lu Ling couldn't help but close his eyes tightly, and only after confirming that the light through the slit of his eyes had weakened, he slowly opened his eyes.
In front of him, the appearance of the sword plate floating in the air had changed greatly - the dull model shaped by lava mud had become a little more brilliant because of the fiery red light patterns, and even had a slight sense of transparency, and Lu Ling could still circulate the flames inside the sword plate.
There was a faint glow of fire blooming in the grooves, and seeing this, Lu Ling took out the only remaining sword pattern in the Qi Palace and inlaid it on the innermost groove of the sword plate.
The Wanhua Sword Pattern, which had found its foothold, was bathed in the fire light coming from the groove, flashing with a dazzling light, which seemed to fit perfectly with the sword plate.
Lu Ling was overjoyed, once his sword pattern accepted the position on the sword plate, it meant that he had successfully cast the sword plate.
He stroked the grooves on the sword plate and nodded with satisfaction, secretly deciding in his heart that he must fill in these dozens of grooves as soon as possible to make his sword plate bigger.
In order to achieve this goal as soon as possible, he must continue to improve his strength. Of course, the first thing to do is to re-condense the two sword patterns that have been consumed.
......
Two days later.
The sun had just risen, and there were already quite a few people standing in a martial arts arena in the Immortal Spirit Palace.
Most of them are white dragon paladins who stay in the palace, and a few of them are just good people attracted by curiosity.
Because they heard that Fang Hai, the captain of the White Dragon Holy Horseman, was going to duel with the Source Demon Body Lu Ling here today.
Although the White Dragon Paladins were extremely surprised, they also wanted to know how far the weak boy had grown up now.
Two figures flapped their wings and flew from the sky to the ground, these two people were none other than the highest-ranking officers of the White Dragon Holy Horse in the Holy Spirit Heavenly CapitalβJiu Ye and Fang Hai.
These onlookers in front of him were beyond Fang Hai's expectations, and he looked at Jiu Ye blankly with his mouth open: "How can there be so many people?"
Originally, he just planned to have a simple discussion with Lu Ling, but he didn't expect that it had already been known by the people of the White Dragon Holy Knight, and it had even developed into the current scene.
"Hmph," Jiuye pouted and snorted, "they're all bored, and they can't wait to have some fun." β
After she finished speaking, she glared at Fang Hai fiercely: "You have to be light, if you hurt Lu Ling, I won't spare you!"
Fang Hai smiled bitterly, why is the gap between people so big.
However, he still said: "Don't underestimate Lu Ling's strength, he is not simple now." β
"Besides," he smiled, "since all the boys under my command are here, then I can't afford to lose, or I'll lose face." β
"Anyway, you can do it yourself. Jiuye narrowed his eyes and smiled sweetly, but at the same time raised his small fist and shook it a few times.
Fang Hai laughed dryly and shrugged his shoulders.
Lu Ling came to the martial arts arena when the appointed time was approaching, he stared at the paladins outside the arena with wide eyes, and the dazedness on his face was no less than Fang Hai just now.
Moreover, those paladins looked at him with strange smiles, and some people were afraid that the world would not stir up the atmosphere, which would make the next duel between the two even more hot.
These people really don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement.
Fang Hai stuck a long sword on the ground, he held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and didn't care about the little cubs under him, but set his eyes on Lu Ling in the distance.
"Come on," he said aloud, "let me show you the power of the legendary Wanhua Sword Pattern." β
Lu Ling grinned, his eyes were also lit with battle intent, and as soon as he spread his palm, the sword disc placed in the storage crystal turned into a streamer and flew out, staying in mid-air.
After the sword disc stabilized, three dark red sword patterns floated out of the grooves, and then turned into three flame swords of different shapes in the surprised gaze of the people, floating around Lu Ling's body.
Lu Ling licked his lips and gently clenched his fists at Fang Hai.
"Brother Fang Hai, please advise. β
