Chapter 129: Refining
Ning Xiu learned from Yu Shasha that the old monster of the man-eating forest is now living as Luo Ziqing, and after the death of Emei Sword Immortal, he directly took over the blessed land of Emei. After that, he stayed in Mount Emei and never came out.
Everything seems normal, but that's why it's not normal.
For a while, Ning Xiu had countless thoughts in his mind.
Since the old monster of the man-eating forest had already discovered him, why didn't he kill him on the spot. If for him, Ning Xiu was just an insignificant small character, then why did he have to go to such great lengths to try to kill Ning Xiu by borrowing other people's hands later.
It's all so contradictory.
But in any case, for Ning Xiu and them, the old monster of the cannibal forest is always a threat, because he may come out of Mount Emei at any time.
Although Ning Xiu is no longer the little qi practitioner he was at the beginning, he still has no bottom in his heart when he thinks of the horror of the old monster who eats man-eating forests.
Of course, Yu Shasha took great pains to find Ning Xiu's contact information, but she was not so kind to inform him of this matter.
Yu Shasha contacted Ning Xiu for another purpose, saying that she had found an entrance to the illusion in the north and needed help.
Ning Xiu did not agree, nor did he directly veto.
He could see that this matter was not as simple as Yu Shasha said, and the other party should have hidden some facts from him. The reason why she called and talked to Ning Xiu about eating people at the beginning was to create an atmosphere of urgency, so that Ning Xiu could dispel his concerns.
Of course, it is also possible that Ning Xiu thought too much, and the illusion opening time given by Yu Shasha was half a month later, so there was no need to make a decision so quickly.
Ning Xiu thought about it for a while, and walked directly down the mountain to Wanbao Pavilion.
Yu Shasha is right in saying that if you want not to be hurt by others, then you can only become stronger.
Ning Xiu is now carrying a treasure mountain, and how to turn these things into combat power is what he has to do now.
It's still that antique street, it's still that antique shop, but the owner inside has changed.
The obscene uncle who likes to read erotic magazines has become a steady middle-aged man, Ning Xiu took a look, stretched out his hand to open the quaint wooden door, faced the thick wall behind him, and walked in directly.
The middle-aged man didn't react during the whole process, he sat peacefully in his place, quietly looking at the book in his hand.
Ning Xiu glanced at it before leaving, and found that the other party was looking at Freud's "The Interpretation of Dreams".
"It's strange enough that cultivators like to read erotic magazines, and now they have even studied psychology, what kind of freaks are these gatekeepers in the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion. Ning Xiu muttered quietly.
......
The room is still as lively as ever.
Looking at the crowd around him, listening to the noisy noise in his ears, Ning Xiu took a step and walked directly inside.
The space of the Wanbao Pavilion is very large, and the outer part of the first floor, that is, where Ning Xiu is now located, is the so-called stall area, which is specially used for low-level monks from all over the country to exchange items.
The people who come here are all monks in the early and middle stages of Qi training, and even monks in the late stage of Qi cultivation are rarely seen, and the things bought in this kind of place are useless to him now, of course, it is not ruled out that the pearl is dusty, but now he would rather not have this kind of leisure and leisure, and do this kind of thing of looking for a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, he quickly walked through the stall area and ran directly to the core area of Wanbao Pavilion.
The core area of Wanbao Pavilion is an attic, which is also called Wanbao Pavilion.
This Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion looks like an ordinary house on the outside, but once you enter it, you can find that there is a hole inside.
The bright hall that is enough to accommodate hundreds of people without feeling crowded, the extra-long counters made of precious flame nan wood, and more than a dozen Taoist puppets are maintaining order, all of which show the strong strength of the master behind the Wanbao Pavilion.
Ning Xiu glanced at it, these Dao puppets actually had the strength of the late stage of Qi training, and this was only the first layer.
When I arrived here, there were a lot fewer people around, after all, those who could enter here were at least not rookies in the cultivation world.
Instead of going straight to the second floor, he walked towards one of the counters, intending to see if there was anything of interest first.
Just after looking around, Ning Xiu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.
Although the things here are much better than those stalls outside, they are still useless, except for three or four things that can barely be seen, the rest of the so-called magic weapons are not as useful as his fist, and buying them is just a waste of spirit crystals.
Ning Xiu didn't waste any more time and walked upstairs.
There was an invisible barrier in the passage between the first and second floors, and it was absolutely impossible to pass through without the strength of the entrance, so when the monks on the first floor saw someone successfully enter the second floor, their faces were extremely shocked.
After all, in this world, it is still very rare to enter the Tao.
The furnishings upstairs are different from the hall below, and the second floor of Wanbao Pavilion is actually an independent cottage.
Some of them had signs written on them, while others didn't.
These written houses indicate that it already has an owner, and of course it is leased.
Unlike the first floor, it sells not only things, but also "crafts".
There is a specialization in the art industry, and the monks are also people, and it is impossible to refine the alchemy array and master everything.
Ning Xiu took a cursory glance and found that dozens of rooms had begottens.
This can also roughly estimate the number of real people in the current world cultivation world, which is more than he imagined, but it is also normal.
After all, when they reach their level, they are bent on seeking the Tao in their hearts, and where will they still walk around in the world, so they will give people the illusion that there are very few real people.
Naturally, there is no one in these rooms, how can a real person who has entered the Tao have this kind of kung fu to stay here every day. Clearly marked prices such as real weapons and magic weapons, naturally there will be no problems, and with Wanbao Pavilion as a guarantee, they are not afraid that someone will dare to rob them.
However, it is difficult to do handicrafts such as refining tools and alchemy, so most of the rooms are set up with magic circles for remote contact, and some only leave the price code in them. For example, what kind of reward is needed to refine a real artifact, who provides the materials for refining, and so on.
Ning Xiu came to Wanbao Pavilion today to buy things second, and the most important purpose was to find a refining master to refine a few real artifacts.
Now he doesn't have any other real magic weapons in his hand except for the treasure of the parting bow.
Even the parting bow lacks a corresponding sharp arrow.
Although Ning Xiu himself tried to refine a few, the effect was not good, due to the particularity of the keel material, he could not blend it well with the talisman.
For Ning Xiu, the talisman is by no means unfamiliar, but how to engrave it is particular, even if there is the slightest mistake, it will cause the entire talisman arrow to be scrapped.
If it was replaced with those ordinary materials in the past, it would be broken, but now it is dragon teeth and keels, so I can't help but be cautious.
"Huh?"
Ning Xiu glanced at a room of refining weapons and walked directly in.
The room was empty, with a table in the center and a number of ritual objects in the display cases on either side.
Ning Xiu glanced at it casually, came directly to the table, picked up the brush on the table, and wrote a sentence on the white paper.
After a while, the handwriting faded until it disappeared completely.
Soon another handwriting appeared on the white paper, but it was not Ning Xiu's handwriting.
He glanced at it, silently put down the pen in his hand, and turned to leave.
......
After that, Ning Xiu went to a lot of houses marked with refining services, and after a while, he came out directly.
He glanced up at the sign outside the room and stepped in again.
Ning Xiu no longer knew that this was the first room he had walked in, and every time he came out of one room, the look of disappointment on his face was a little heavier.
He wrote the sentence on the blank piece of paper as usual, thought for a while, and added another sentence. This time, the other party responded quickly, and in the affirmative.
Looking at the other party's response on the white paper, Ning Xiu's face changed for the first time.
Three days later, Ning Xiu came to this room again as agreed.
The owner of the house had been waiting for a long time, and he was an old man with gray hair.
The old man glanced up at Ning Xiu and said, "Old man Zhang Qian, are you going to refine treasure soldiers? Daoist friends should know that treasure soldiers can not be refined with any material. ”
Ning Xiu didn't answer, walked directly in front of him, took out a small keel from the mustard seed ring, and said indifferently: "I don't know if this can be done." ”
"Keel?!"
Zhang Qian's eyes lit up when he saw the white keel, and he stood up directly as if he had been electrocuted, stepped forward and took the white bone in Ning Xiu's hand, and exclaimed while looking at it: "It is really a keel." ”
The true dragon bone, since Zhang Qian's refiner, has never seen it. He originally had a trace of luck, thinking that it would be Jiao's bones, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he confirmed that the breath coming from above would not deceive people.
No matter where this keel came from, it was enough to show Ning Xiu's strength. And he could feel that this dragon bone was definitely not from an ordinary dragon clan.
Zhang Qian changed his previous attitude, and immediately said respectfully: "This fellow Daoist, I don't know what to refine with this dragon bone?"
He hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Although the dragon bone is precious, if you only have this small piece in your hand, I am afraid that you will not be able to refine anything, and the only way to do it is to integrate it into other materials." It's just that if this is the case, the quality of the refining will definitely not reach the level of the treasure soldier. ”
"Since I've been looking for you to refine the weapon, naturally I can't just have such a thing. ”
Ning Xiu glanced at Zhang Qian, and then in his shocked gaze, he took out the keel from the mustard seed ring one by one.
"I'm going to use them to craft bows and arrows, can you do that?"
Zhang Qian was already completely stunned, and after a while, he reacted, nodded again and again, and said, "No problem." ”
"Can defensive treasures be refined?" Ning Xiu then asked.
Although Ning Xiu now has an immortal golden body, it stands to reason that defensive magic weapons are the last thing he needs, but it is not a bad thing to have one more means of defense.
His current immortal golden body is neither King Kong nor bad, and he was broken by the Jinghe Dragon King at the beginning.
Zhang Qian looked at Ning Xiu, a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid it's a little difficult to use the dragon bone to refine a defensive magic weapon, I'll try my best, but as for whether I can reach the treasure level in the end, I don't know." ”
"I just want a treasure. Ning Xiu looked at Zhang Qian and said slowly.
Listening to Ning Xiu's words, Zhang Qian was a little angry, and just wanted to say something, but when he saw the dragon scales and dragon skin that Ning Xiu took out from the mustard seed ring, he swallowed back the words.
"My goodness, this guy is a dragon slayer. Zhang Qian swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked up at Ning Xiu, his eyes full of horror.
"Can you do it now?"
"No problem. ”
Zhang Qian nodded subconsciously, he was really scared of Ning Xiu this time.
"How long will it take?" asked Ning Xiu.
"Ten days, I can provide other materials on my side, as for the remuneration ......"
"The rest of the keels and scales will be paid for you. Ning Xiu said directly.
"Okay, I'll start now. ”
Zhang Qian is also a vigorous and resolute person, and he starts from the beginning.
At the back of the room, there is a refining room, and all the tools in it are complete.
In order to ensure the fairness of the transaction, both refining and alchemy must be carried out in the Wanbao Pavilion.
Ning Xiu followed into the refining room, only to see that the flames of the furnace inside were burning, and the temperature was very alarming.
At this moment, I saw Zhang Qian on the side pinching the trick, and a cyan flame erupted directly from his hand and shot into the furnace.
The cyan flame merged into the original furnace fire, causing the color of the furnace fire to begin to change, and the other refining materials began to melt gradually, except for the keel.
The whole process continued until the fifth day, when the color of the furnace turned purple and the surface of the keel finally changed.
I saw that it began to slowly melt under the scorching real fire, and gradually took the shape of a sharp arrow.
Zhang Gan's body was covered with sweat, and his face was a little pale, which could see his exhaustion.
He must control the temperature of the true fire all the time, which requires a large amount of spiritual power, and due to the particularity of the keel material, in order to melt it, the spiritual power he consumes is also massive.
And so it was, another five days.
During the whole process, Ning Xiu just stood aside and watched silently, and the refining was finally in the final stage.
Zhang Qian began to carve a formation prohibition on the bow and arrow.
And the inscription is the process of testing the true level of a refiner, and a refiner with a low level often covers the whole body of the magic weapon with the simplest formation. In the past, Ning Xiu belonged to this category, and only one kind of talisman could be engraved on the talisman arrow, but those real refining masters, on the head of a finger-sized magic weapon, could set up hundreds of prohibitions, destroying the heavens and the earth, and omnipotent.
Although Zhang Qian couldn't do this, it was much stronger than Ning Xiu, and soon the treasure soldier-level sharp arrow was finally released.
"Fortunately, I was not dishonored. Zhang Qian wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up at Ning Xiu, and spoke.
