When a man and a beast walked out of the cracks in the ground, the sky was already bright, and the sixteen guys from Yizhi Pavilion were still seriously playing handprints and reciting mantras, although all of them were pale, their lips were chapped, and the strength of the handprints was obviously not enough, but the array of glowing balls was still working.

"I'm really sorry I came out late and tired everyone, but now I can stop. Shi An said apologetically.

When everyone said this, they immediately collapsed to the ground, and Lao Li was no exception.

"Wait a minute, I'll go to the castle tower first. So saying, he drove his boat straight to the city gates.

The beasts outside the city had almost dispersed, leaving only the remnants of the rotting demon beasts devouring the dead demon beasts on the ground.

On the city tower, Yang Chen did not relax his vigilance, and was still directing everyone to watch and be vigilant.

Seeing Shi An, he ran over in three steps and two steps and said, "Mr. Yizhi, I didn't react for a while when you told me my name yesterday, and now I remember that you are the shopkeeper of Yizhi Pavilion, and I thank you on behalf of the old and young masters of Twin Towers City." "Say goodbye, give me a deep salute.

Shi An hurriedly held his arm and said, "Your Excellency, Lord City, you are polite, we are all doing things for the residents, and you are more worthy of our gratitude for leading the crowd to stick to it day and night." ”

Yang Chen said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Mr. Yizhi, you see, the demon beasts did not attack the city last night, but left one after another shortly after the hour, which is really a strange thing. ”

Shi An was inconvenient to tell the truth, so he said vaguely: "Last night, I rushed back to organize Yizhige to set up a large array overnight, and now the demonic energy in the underground has been dispersed, and there should be no more demon beasts to harass in the future, and everyone can rebuild their homes with peace of mind." ”

"Great, thank you and Yizhige!" Yang Chen saluted again to express his gratitude.

"There are still a lot of things to do to rebuild the Twin Towers City, so I won't bother you, and you can just open your mouth if you have a place to find Yizhi Pavilion in the future. ”

"Yang Chendai, Twin Towers, thank you again, Mr. Yizhi. ”

......

Half an hour later, in the Pavilion of Ease.

Shi An briefly recounted the underground events to Wu Gang, Lao Li, Zhang Quan and others, and everyone was happy.

Zhang Quan also told Shi An the news that Yuan Chunzi had come, and Wu Gang also said that in the past three years, the Four Elephants Temple had often come to Yizhige to ask if he needed help, but he couldn't be the master, so he politely declined every time.

Shi An thought for a while and said: "The Four Elephants must want to be friendly with us, and we can't refuse people thousands of miles away." The next time they come back, if they need anything, just talk to them, we have benefited, and they have achieved their goal, so why not? Also, I will live in the Twin Towers City for about a year, and tell the guys that it is best not to let outsiders know, including the people of the Four Elephants. ”

Wu Gang and the others nodded yes.

In the humble shopkeeper's residence, An An was lying quietly on a delicate jade array plate with her eyes closed, and the "brain" of lice the size of a sea bowl in front of her was fluorescent, and wisps of black gas emitted were lingering all over her body. Shi An didn't plan to put this guy into the Cave Heaven Stone again, so he specially made a modified Yan Xiang Array Disk for her, which allowed her to absorb demonic energy in it without leaking out.

And Shi An sat on the futon of the Dongtian Stone, and the five sub-souls performed their own duties: Da Lan read the content of the last two volumes of the "Continuation of the Formation Technique", Xiao Lan read the content of the first three volumes of "Cloud Experience", and Xiao Huang read a few jade slips that Shi An asked the guys to buy to introduce the commonly used refining materials in the immortal cultivation world, and the third layer of the Divine Evolution Recipe was cultivated.

After mastering the basic content of the Mind Exploration Technique, Shi An also occasionally tried it on the surrounding Qi Refining Period guys, of course, it was only to explore some trivial things, and he would not involve personal privacy, and he gradually mastered this method after practicing it many times.

In his subsequent studies, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there were two divine consciousness spells here, one called the Divine Thorn and the other called the Phantom God Net.

The Divine Thorn is essentially the power of the divine consciousness used for the Mind Exploration Technique to instantly compress into a divine consciousness similar to a flying needle, directly hitting the opponent's sea of consciousness, causing the opponent to appear a temporary void in consciousness. The more the consciousness surpasses the opponent, the longer the consciousness is blank, and if there are multiple such flying needles fired continuously, the opponent can be caught off guard, and the continuous state of unconsciousness appears. The disadvantage of this spell is also obvious, that is, if the opponent is fully prepared, the effect will be greatly reduced.

The requirements of the Phantom God Network are higher, and there must be at least ten divine senses for the mind exploration technique to be used, and its essence is to take advantage of the other party's unpreparedness to directly enter the opponent's sea of consciousness to form a virtual scene, which can have people, objects, and various environmental factors.

The reason why there are more than 10 is because each divine consciousness can only be virtual one object, and the richer the virtual object, the closer it will be to the real state, so that the other party mistakenly thinks that the real world reflected in the sea of consciousness is achieved, so as to achieve the purpose of deceiving the other party.

The two spells look extremely mysterious, but they are not very difficult to practice, especially the Divine Thorn, Shi An can master it in only five days, and while An An is not paying attention, he does an experiment with her.

When the monster woke up from his trance and rolled on the ground in pain, Shi An said to her apologetically: "An An who cut the river, I'm sorry, I won't experiment with you next time." ”

The cultivation of the Phantom God Network is a little difficult, not that it is difficult to cultivate, but that Shi An only used three divine senses for the Mind Exploration Technique before, so he had to pick out seven of the divine senses originally used to drive away the Mind Exploration Technique, which has reached the lower limit of the number of Divine Senses required by the Illusory God Network. After that, he continued to practice according to the requirements of his cultivation, and it took him nearly eight months to barely be able to produce some extremely simple illusions to deceive poor An An again.

When An An woke up from the illusion with tears streaming down his face and looked at Shi An with a sad face, Shi An didn't dare to put his divine sense in An An's sea of consciousness, because he was worried that An An would never hear good words in his mouth this time.

When the four Split Souls all returned to their main bodies, Shi An knew that they had learned almost all the things about refining.

When synchronizing information with Xiaolan, Shi An saw two characteristics of the language expression of "Yunxiao Experience": old-fashioned and rigorous. It is not as easy and fluent as "The Essentials of Formation" and "The Continuation of the Essentials of Formation", if the former is a typical bookish pedant, then the latter is a lively and lovely girl.

The whole book is divided into five volumes, the first volume talks about the basic principles of refining tools and refining array plates; the second volume talks about the properties of materials commonly used in refining tools and refining array plates; the third volume talks about the specific methods of smelting materials; the fourth volume has the most content, talking about the process and steps of making magic weapons; and the last volume is the content of refining array plates, because Shi An had the need to make array plates, so this part has been read to some extent, but he has never studied it systematically.

The content of the first two volumes is relatively simple, especially the content of the materials overlaps with many contents of the jade slips bought by Shi An, but they are more comprehensive, systematic and profound.

The third volume of smelting materials is the most difficult part he has learned so far, especially the grasp of the heat, which is a difficult bone to gnaw.

Because the melting point of most materials is higher than that of herbs, the Ding furnace used is also thicker than the alchemy Ding furnace, and it is more difficult to grasp the heat. In the sea of knowledge, he carefully sorted out all these contents, and was very familiar with the shape, characteristics and smelting methods of the materials commonly used in the art of refining, so he spent nearly two months devoting himself to the practice of smelting and purifying the refining materials.

There were a lot of ordinary materials in his hand, and there was a large amount of non-flame black gold, so he took out an ordinary refining tripod that Tuo Wu Gang bought from the high shopkeeper of Jinyu Mansion, and began to practice the smelting of refining materials.

The initial stage of smelting is very simple, as long as the temperature continues to rise, but when the material is in a semi-molten state, the requirements for accurate fire are reflected: if the heating rate is too slow, it will cause the material to stop melting and begin to agglomerate rapidly, resulting in the scrapping of the whole material;

After that, the work is not simple, after the material is completely melted, it is necessary to immediately remove all kinds of impurities floating on the surface, because it is not possible to use other utensils, so as not to cause pollution to the material, so the monks in the foundation building period must use the aura, and the monks in the Yudan period must use the divine sense to complete this work, and the monks in the qi refining period are powerless.

The finishing touches are relatively simple, just pour the material into a pre-made mold and allow it to cool down and solidify.

The mold also has a lot of exquisiteness, not only according to the different molten materials to be contained, choose heat-resistant, will not stick to each other to penetrate the material, generally use stone, jade, diamond wood, gilt diamond, etc. There are also many forms of molds, which are generally divided into embryonic molds and fine molds. The embryo mold is directly made into a block of material and provided to others as the raw material for the next refining process, while the fine mold is to make a mold from the shape of the object to be made, and then it can be processed in the next step after being taken out.

Shi An didn't go to study the fourth volume, because he didn't need to make magic artifacts yet. Now that we know how it works, we know the key points and difficulties, but it's not that simple to actually operate.

At the beginning, it was not difficult to smelt the coffin of the ether crystal because the melting point of the ether crystal was very low and there were not many impurities, so he was relatively easy to get started, but now the materials in his hand are no longer so simple, and he began to practice in the order of increasing the degree of melting difficulty.

At first, a few such as refined iron ore, refined copper ore, etc. were relatively easy, and basically completed smoothly without mistakes, while the smelting process of intermediate materials such as refined silver and refined gold was difficult, and the proportion of waste products was extremely high.

Because he was not an outsider, the shopkeeper Gao had also received a lot of benefits from Yizhige, but he had nothing to hide, and told Shi An about his many years of experience in refining primary materials, which made Shi An know that temperature control not only requires the help of the temperature of the flame, but also needs to adjust the height and left and right position and angle of the Ding furnace if necessary.

Drawing inferences from one another, Shi An later applied these local methods from practice to the refining of intermediate materials, which actually worked, and later he tried to transform a few small formations to assist, so that the level of his smelting materials was greatly improved by a notch.

When the last few pieces of intermediate materials in his hand, such as Gengjing and Man Powder Stone, were successfully smelted, he knew that after this year's preparation, the time was now ripe to go to Wuluobao to find an opportunity to kill Sun Lang.
