Volume 1 The First Test Chapter 7 The Formation of the Formation
After Yao Xi and Lin Yu entered the sword casting room, it was already quiet outside, Chu Xiangyue was indifferent by nature, and she was not a person who liked to talk nonsense, so at this time, she held her chest with her hands and closed her eyes, quietly waiting for the results of this competition.
Wu Yong is a person who can't sit still, he knows Chu Xiangyue's identity, although she is only an outer disciple of Xuantian Sect now, but a month later it will be a big assessment of the outer disciples, the purpose of the assessment is two, the first is to eliminate the unqualified and let them go, the second is to screen the elite, according to the usual practice, the top three of the outer disciples can enter the inner gate, and now in the outer gate of Xuantian Sect, the strongest is nothing more than four people, Xiao Yang, Chu Xiangyue, Mo Yuntian and Wang Meng, if there is no accident, the three places that enter the inner gate this year will definitely be chosen from the four of themใ
If Chu Xiangyue really has the opportunity to enter the inner gate of Xuantian Sect, it will be a leap like a fish leaping into the dragon gate, because in this vast Cangxi Prefecture, Xuantian Sect is one of the five major sects, and its strength can definitely deter one side, and entering the inner gate can not only find their protection, but also obtain various elixirs and profound exercises to improve their strength, this kind of treatment is very different from those hardships in the outer gate.
Wu Yong showed a very flattering smile, he had heard of Chu Xiangyue's name before, but people have always been cultivating in the outer gate of Xuantian Sect, and they usually don't go out easily, even if he has the intention of patting the horse, he has never been able to find a horse, and now that people automatically send it to the door, he will naturally not miss it.
"Miss Chu, I'm tired from standing, do you want to go to the private room to rest! The two of them won't be able to come out in a moment. Wu Yong asked flatteringly.
"No need to ......," Chu Xiangyue said coldly.
"Okay, Miss Chu's cultivation is advanced and naturally doesn't care, may I ask if that person named Lin Yu is your friend?" Wu Yong continued to ask.
Chu Xiangyue was slightly stunned, and said, "No!"
It's really not, she and Lin Yu met for the first time today, and they just had some intersections with each other, how could they say that they were friends? What's more, Chu Xiangyue was very picky about the choice of friends, who was worthy of being her friend, and who was not, she was even more like a mirror in her heart.
Although Lin Yu's vision is not bad, but at his current age, he is only a fourth-tier cultivator of the Yellow Order, and it is not bad to say that he is a waste of martial arts, how can such a person become her friend?
"......I see," Wu Yong said softly, but his mind was changing, since Chu Xiangyue said that Lin Yu was not a friend, then he didn't have to worry about Chu Xiangyue's face when he came out later......
In the swordsmithing room......
Lin Yu carefully melted the flame blackiron into a liquid and placed it on a container that had already been cleaned, and then used the spiritual power to infuse it on the darkiron liquid, manipulating the spiritual power to flow slowly on the darkiron liquid like a stream of water, so as to find out the impurities remaining in the darkiron liquid.
This gentle trickle is a truth, under normal circumstances, if the power of the water flow is not enough to break away the stones that hinder their progress, they will choose to bypass the obstacles, now Lin Yu is like this, the dark iron liquid is equivalent to the riverbed, and the spiritual power he poured into it is flowing water, and the obstacles encountered in the flow of the water are 'stones', these 'stones' seem to be small but must be eliminated, because sword casting is an extremely delicate job, and a little neglect may cause irreversible losses.
Lin Yu is a very clever swordsmith, he will not make such a low-level mistake, meticulously manipulate the spiritual power, and after encountering obstacles, he carefully wrapped it with spiritual power and then isolated it from the dark iron liquid, it took almost three hours for Lin Yu to complete this refining process.
Lin Yu was already out of breath, his current cultivation was only the fourth level of the Yellow Order, and his spiritual power and divine thoughts were simply not enough for him to consume so much for a long time.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and now he has no better way to do it, so he can only sit cross-legged on the ground and run the Seven Star Sword Technique to recover his spiritual power, but now it is not night, the power of starlight is not strong enough, and the corresponding recovery ability has become much slower, and after sitting cross-legged for half an hour, Lin Yu feels better.
Again call the spiritual power into the dark iron liquid, this time he wants to engrave the magic circle in it, that is, the swordsmith often said the inscription array, the inscription array is an extremely high-end means for the swordsmith, as the name suggests, it is to engrave some simple or advanced magic circles inside the weapon, the uses of these magic circles are also varied, simple can improve the sharpness of the weapon or the speed of spiritual power to enhance combat effectiveness, but more complicated is that you can hide the sword skills in the middle and use the spiritual power to mobilize to launch a killing blow......
In general, there is a difference between a weapon with an inscription array and a weapon without an inscription array, and whether or not it will be an inscription array is the criterion for judging whether a swordsmith is skillful.
Lin Yu couldn't be more familiar with all kinds of inscription arrays, and he also created a lot of his own back then, but now because his cultivation is too low, he doesn't have the ability to engrave high and profound formations at all, so he decided to engrave a magic circle called 'Flame Slash' on this sword.
Flame Slash is a low-level fire-based sword technique, and after being engraved into the sword, even if the sword holder is not a fire-type cultivator, he can rely on the power of the formation and the material of the flame blackiron to bless it.
This kind of Ming array is not profound, so Lin Yu feels that he can still control it. Thinking like this, the spiritual power integrated into the dark iron runs according to a specific trajectory, and what is surprising is that the path through which the spiritual power passes slowly lights up, like an incomparably smooth line, the lines intersect, separate, and then meet again and finally separate, and it didn't take long for the faintly visible lines to form a pattern that is not complicated, like a sword, and like a flame, and finally it actually became blurred, which seemed unfathomable.
At the same time, the originally hot reddish dark iron liquid became more and more dim, and it actually began to fade its original color, showing a light red, but through the outer layer, you can clearly see that the inner world is slowly brightening up under the traction of a formation, like a world of flames covered with magma.
Lin Yu's breathing became more and more rapid, and he had already begun to have a lack of spiritual power, and an indescribable feeling of exhaustion came, he only felt lightheaded, as if all the strength in his body had been drained, and even heavy overlapping phantoms began to appear in front of him, but he was still struggling to support, the Ming array had reached the last moment, and he didn't want to fall short!
Continued to grit his teeth and insisted on running the Seven Star Sword Technique at the same time to replenish his spiritual power, but he couldn't make ends meet, and the feeling of exhaustion became even stronger, so he struggled to support it for an hour, and finally, the flame world inside the sword shattered with a bang, and the naked eye could see that the meteor fire feathers splashed everywhere and then melted into the sword.
Everything returned to calm, Lin Yu looked at the sword in front of him, the scorching heat was gone, even the deep formation pattern was hidden, the sword body was pale red, it seemed to be unpretentious, without any trace of brilliance, but Lin Yu smiled faintly, and said softly: "Finally finished ......"
As soon as his mind was relieved, Lin Yu's feet were soft and he fell straight down......
......
On the other side, Yao Xi's progress was much faster than Lin Yu's, when Lin Yu staggered the sword into the sword casting furnace, she had already finished, the color of the sword in her hand was as bright as a flame, and with an incomparably scorching breath that made people awe-inspiring, Yao Xi held the sword in one hand, the spiritual power was injected into it, and the heat was a hundred times better than before, and the entire sword casting room was affected, and the heat wave surged.
"Well, it's in such a good state...... Yao Xi laughed proudly, and secretly thought, hum, Lin Yu...... See how you can win me?" Thinking about it, Yao Xi put the sword into the sword box that had been prepared and pushed the door out.
Xiaoxi ...... Okay?" Chu Xiangyue was slightly stunned when she saw Yao Xi, and said softly.
"Of course...... It's not a too difficult test, hum, hasn't Lin Yu come out yet?" Yao Xi said proudly, obviously a little impatient to despise Lin Yu.
"No......" Chu Xiangyue looked at the sword box in Yao Xi's hand, and asked softly, "Can you let my sister take a look?"
"Of course, my sister must keep her eyes open. "Yao Xi opened the sword box, Chu Xiangyue could immediately feel a scorching breath rushing towards her, her cultivation was not low or unbearable, but at this time, she was also a little shocked in her heart, lying peacefully in the sword box was a sword, which looked like a flame, the smooth sword body, and the sharp blade made people feel that they could easily split the dark iron.......
Chu Xiangyue thought secretly, she still has some understanding of the way of forging a sword, the flame dark iron is naturally a fire metal, now Yao Xi can fully exert its own growth, in the process of casting the sword, not only preserves the flame attribute of the black iron itself, but also doesn't know what method she used, she actually increased her own heat by at least ten times, such a sword is very rare for a fire cultivator, Chu Xiangyue feels that if she is also a fire cultivator, she will definitely buy it at any cost.
The rumors from the outside world are indeed true, the sword-casting talent of the little granddaughter of the swordsmith Yao Wanli is still on it, and it is known as the hope of the new generation of the Wanli Sword Casting Pavilion, except for those perverts in the inner gate of the Xuantian Sect, no one can easily suppress her! It seems that the young man named Lin Yu has lost.
"It's indeed a high-grade sword...... Xiaoxi, today is in good shape. Wu Yong also came and praised him.
"Of course, don't look at who I am, hmph, even if I only exert one-tenth of my strength, I will definitely be able to defeat that person named Lin Yu. Yao Xi raised his small fist and said very proudly.
Chu Xiang smiled and didn't say anything, waiting quietly...... Although she knew that Lin Yu couldn't win, she also wanted to see how far a genius like Lin Yu and Yao Xi was close to the bottom......
