After explaining Zhang Chuanhong's affairs, Zhang Lie drove the sword cloud back to the small barren mountain.

A few days later, Zhang Lie heard that Bai Wenjing had built the cave near the small barren mountain, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart, because then all his mind had to be devoted to refining the Five Elements Flying Sword to improve the grade.

Back then, Senior Brother Fang Ang, the swordsmith of Golden Rainbow Valley, was full of talent.

He not only tailored and designed the Five Elements Flying Sword that could exert the most combat power for Zhang Lie, but also set up the upgrade design of the Five Elements Flying Sword in advance in the concept.

Zhang Lie and Fang Ang have a good relationship with each other, and this five-element flying sword is tailor-made for him, and of course the content of the method is not hidden from Zhang Lie.

Therefore, Zhang Lie, who also has considerable experience in sword casting and refining skills, can also refine and upgrade the Five Elements Flying Sword.

The reason why he has not done so much for so many years is because the five element flying swords are connected to each other's sword qi, and all of them are damaged, and the difficulty of refining is many times that of the normal third-order mid-to-high-grade flying swords.

This time, it took twenty years to release the family task, consume a lot of family good deeds and spirit stone resources, and finally collected five fourth-order refining materials with five elements attributes, and Zhang Lie had already refined with the mentality that if he was unsuccessful, the five swords would be destroyed.

A small barren mountain, a fire room with a dark red glow.

The Chiyang Valley is very rich in earth fire resources, otherwise it would cost at least tens of thousands of spirit stones to open up this earth fire chamber.

The third-order spiritual veins and earth fire, these are the two great family inheritance treasures of the Zhang family in the Chiyang Valley of Huangshan, without these two geographical resources, the Zhang family may not be able to inherit today. It can also be seen that the long-term vision of the ancestors of the family has a great impact.

In this earth fire room, there are five huge bronze refining furnaces in the four directions, and in the central position, there are five flying swords floating in the void with different phosgene shapes, but all of them diffuse powerful and powerful sword qi: the Five Elements Flying Sword.

Although these five flying swords are third-order lower grades, they have been used by Zhang Lie for many years, and the sword power of the five elements has strengthened and influenced each other, and the strength of the sword qi has long exceeded that of the third-order lower grade, and the spirituality is blazing.

At this time, Zhang Lie slowly walked into the Earth Fire Refinery Room, he was holding one hand in front of him and the other upside down, looking up at the five five-element flying swords floating in the void.

For a moment, it seems to be stuck in a past memory:

"The first Fire Virtue Flying Sword was given by the Master Seven Evil Daoists, and at that time, he was also given the Blazing Lotus Sword Technique......

"The second water cloud flying sword, a gift for my friend Senior Brother Fang Ang......"

"Third ......"

"The Fourth ......"

The more he pondered, the stronger the sword intent sword qi centered on Zhang Lie's body became, and in the middle of the echo, the five flying swords on the central magic platform of the Earth Fire Room gradually buzzed, as if they were resonating with the sword master.

"Boom!"

Sudden sword, a flying sword on the magic platform flew out upside down and fell into Zhang Lie's hand, and when the two merged, the sword qi burst out and suddenly increased tenfold.

In the surrounding voids, there seemed to be a flickering sword shadow and a void slash, which was extremely powerful.

The five five-element flying swords of Jinghong, Yimu, Shuiyun, Huode, and Xuanhun were all second-order sword weapons in the Qi Realm at the beginning, but they only accompanied Zhang Lie step by step to today, they helped Zhang Lie to break the calamity, and Zhang Lie also promoted their sacrifice step by step to the point of a third-order sword weapon.

It's just that the potential of these five flying swords has reached the limit after using them to this day, if they can't be reborn and regain their vitality.

Then these Five Elements Flying Sword will become less and less practical for Zhang Lie. Even the innate Gang Qi contained in the body is about to be more powerful than them.

At this moment, holding the earth flying sword Xuan Hun in his hand, a sword stabbed out, this sword-style sword move was ordinary and ordinary, but under Zhang Lie's full operation, the dim yellow sword light seemed to contain the momentum of thunder roaring, and the sword power was as strong as a mountain, and the power was ten thousand.

From the beginning to the beginning, after the completion of this set of sword tricks.

Xuan Hun flew out, and another flying sword flew back into Zhang Lie's hand, although it was still lethal and strong, it seemed to be exerting killing sword power in another way, and where the sword light rolled, it brought up countless sharp and indestructible sharp mangs, slashing wildly in all directions, crisscrossing and crisscrossing.

The third sword was issued, and the water blue sword light brought out a blue and clear energy, and a huge cold force suddenly froze all the surrounding air into an almost liquid, solid-like form, and it was continuously absorbing and condensing a large amount of air to a point, condensing into a blue sword circle that showed infinite killing power.

The fourth sword was issued, and this sword was silent, but the sword qi that was driving filled the void in a form that was difficult for ordinary people to perceive, as if countless vines and fibrous roots drove the heaven and earth vitality within the radius to constantly circulate and shuttle, intertwined into a net.

The first sword is earth, the second sword is gold, the third sword is water, the fourth sword is wood, and the fifth sword is fire!

Native gold, gold gives birth to water, water gives birth to wood, wood makes fire!

Otogi flew back, and Huode arrived.

The blazing fire of this last sword seemed to ignite everything, and the infinite sword power potential laid by the previous four swords exploded together, attracting the flame light and shadow in the entire Earth Fire Refinery Chamber, blazing and jumping.

With the fluttering of the Dao robe, Zhang Lie jumped onto the Dharma platform in the center of the refining room, accompanied by him holding the tip on his forehead and eyebrows.

The five five elements of sword light around him suddenly soared, and then flew towards the five huge bronze refining furnaces around him.

"Heding!"

With the control of the Daoist in the center, the four or five refining furnaces were closed and rotated, and the flames under them were burning, causing the temperature in the room to rise rapidly.

It has been decades since the method of improving the Five Elements Flying Sword fell into Zhang Lie's hands, and over the years, Zhang Lie has been seriously studying this method in addition to cultivating mana, and by now, he has become familiar with all aspects of it.

In addition, for the Five Elements Flying Sword, Zhang Lie is even more familiar with the view pattern on the palm, and the combination of these two conditions makes this sword refining difficult, but the probability of success is not low.

"Open the furnace!"

Standing on the central Dharma platform, Zhang Lie's palms swung out from the dantian to the surroundings, and the Dao mana brilliance scattered out, blending into the surrounding refining furnaces.

The Five Elements Flying Sword Qi is connected to each other, and it must be refined at the same time, and the Dao Pattern Mana circuit in it is far more complex than that of ordinary third-order magic weapons, but these Zhang Lie are all familiar with it, and he didn't feel that it was difficult at first, and he didn't even expect the confusion that might occur in it.

However, this is only the beginning of this refining

Time passed day after day, and although the monk could take a short break during this process, he had to respond immediately to any change in the refining furnace, so he could not sleep soundly.

Zhang Lie has a strong physique, a firm mind, and profound mana, plus he consciously cut his rest time, cutting what should have been a night's sleep into dozens of small pieces for rest, so that he can support more than forty days in one breath.

However, at this time, Zhang Lie no longer had the relaxed state at the beginning of the refiner.

With the consumption of divine consciousness mana, the personal state of the monk continued to decline, and the refining techniques to be used were relatively more and more difficult, more and more complex and profound.

At this time, Zhang Lie finally discovered that Fang Ang's biggest problem with the design of the Five Elements Flying Sword was the third-order complete set of flying swords, but the difficulty of refining and upgrading was almost impossible for a foundation building monk to complete.

"Why don't you just give up, although the Five Elements Flying Sword is destroyed now, those five fourth-order refining materials can be retained, and the loss is not too big!"

Such a thought suddenly appeared in his heart, but in the next moment, he was already killed by Zhang Lie with his heart sword, and he never existed again.

Five pieces of third-order lower-grade flying swords, and five pieces of fourth-order refining materials, if they were all destroyed, and the loss was so great, even a monk like Zhang Lie, who was hardly worried about spirit stones, would suffer for many years.

But even if it hurts, you can't break the sharpness in your heart, or you don't do it, and since you do it, you have to do your best.

After extreme fatigue and exhaustion, there will be a short period of state recovery, and with this, Zhang Lie lasted until the sixtieth day.

On this day, he finally couldn't hold it anymore.

Take out the essence and qi replenishing pills that have been prepared a long time ago from the Qiankun bag.

Swallowed together, the effect of the third-order high-grade elixir was extraordinary, and it didn't take long for Zhang Lie to take the two elixirs, and a trickle of mana was incorporated into his dantian, and at the same time, some pale faces finally reappeared bloody.

At this time, Zhang Lie gently patted the Qiankun bag on his waist.

Five rays of various colors of spiritual light flew out, and five pieces of fourth-order high-quality refining materials, accompanied by Zhang Lie's mana, were put into the four-five bronze refining furnace.

With the refining of the earth fire at a high temperature, the five pieces of fourth-order high-quality refining materials quickly melted and softened, turning into the essence of various attributes, and pouring them into the magic sword in the furnace.

Things have come to this point, Zhang Lie even wants to regret it, but it is useless, not to mention, he has no idea of repenting.

The more sinister the situation, the calmer the mind.

Zhang Lie, who felt that he was already extremely weak, held the trick in one hand at the dantian, ascended up, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of pure mana.

The mana showed a five-color brilliance that was constantly changing, and then suddenly flowed into the five refining furnaces around it, which was the mixed element five element qi.

"Sword heart through Xuan, reverse sword qi, plastic condensation!"

After doing all this, Zhang Lie no longer waved the magic trick into those bronze refining furnaces, but sat down, but instead his four or five bronze refining furnaces gradually spread the colors of fire red, earth yellow, water blue, wood blue, and pure gold, and at the same time, the sound was endless from time to time.

On the sixty-ninth day of refining magic weapons, in the four or five bronze refining furnaces, each of them spread a rising sword flower, and after each of these five-colored sword flowers bred some spirituality, they all snaked and wandered like a snake to the refining room, in the center, on the young Taoist who was sitting cross-legged.

It turned out to be the return of the sword qi, which was beneficial to its master.

These sixty-nine days were too difficult and bitter, Fang Ang's design was wrong, and the refiner's divine sense, mana, and energy were exhausted to the extreme, so that to the last step of the sacrifice, a monk like Zhang Lie had a feeling of being completely drained.

Fortunately, in the end, the sword refining was finally completed.

At this moment, the five-colored sword flower reversed and returned, and Zhang Lie used the sword heart to transform the Dao sword qi into mana, and after recovering a certain amount of mana, he stopped absorbing the sword qi, but absorbed the heaven and earth qi in the void on his own, and began to cultivate again.

In the process of refining the flying sword this time, all the mana bottlenecks in the foundation building realm have been broken, and without using elixirs or spirit stones, Zhang Lie is in the most primitive breath, recovering his divine sense mana little by little:

The early stage of Qi training, the middle stage of Qi training, and the late stage of Qi training.

Two layers of foundation, four layers of foundation, and six layers of foundation...... When he cultivated to the peak of the eighth layer of foundation building again, the purple heart Dafa power in his body suddenly and naturally turned into a fork in the road, following a route that was both familiar and a little rusty, and started the cycle again, breaking through the state of the limit of the mana in the past.

"Whew." Slowly opening his eyes, Zhang Lie's face showed a little surprise, but he didn't expect it, the nine-layer realm of foundation building that he thought would take some time to slowly polish actually broke through in this sword refining process.

Since then, his self-cultivation has officially stepped into the ninth layer of the foundation building realm.

But it's also a common thing to think about it, this sword refining is difficult, almost no less than Zhang Lie's fight to the death with a monk in the early stage of the Purple Mansion, the three of divine sense, mana, and energy are exhausted, if the sword refining fails this time, there is no return of sword Hua, even if Zhang Lie himself is not dead, he will have to lie down for ten or twenty years to recover, which is almost equivalent to the failure of the impact on the Purple Mansion Realm.

"Up!"

With a move of his hand, the Taoist shouted lightly, and the five-colored sword light of pure gold, wood green, water blue, fire red, and earth yellow around him suddenly flourished, and the next moment it broke through the furnace and flew out.

The upper halves of the five heavy and huge bronze furnaces flew out with a sound and smashed into the upper wall of the vessel room with a "bang", visibly changing shape with the naked eye. At this time, the five-colored sword light was already as if it had been given life, hovering around Zhang Lie's body and flying endlessly, the nature of the sword weapon had not changed, but the sword speed, sword power, and sword qi had greatly surged: from the third-order lower grade to the third-order upper grade in one go.

"The Five Elements Flying Sword of this level, under my imperial envoy, the power of the Five Elements Sword can be increased to a terrifying level, especially the magic weapons in the world, most of them belong to the Five Elements, as long as they are restrained, most of the magic weapons in the world can be broken."

With these five refining by themselves, the most satisfying flying sword is in hand. Zhang Lie is conceited, the vast majority of the early stage cultivators of the Purple Mansion in this world can compete with each other, but in the process of refining the flying sword, Zhang Lie also found that there is still a lot of potential in the exercises he has cultivated.

“…… But this matter can only be put aside for the time being, I should also get out of the customs, now that the divine consciousness mana has been restored, the physical potential has been depleted a lot, and if it continues like this, it will hurt the vitality. ”

…

When Zhang Lie walked out of the refining room, he met Qin Suxin, a concubine with an anxious and worried face outside the cave.

At this time, he knew that his sword refining retreat had been used for two years.

"Did it take that long?"

"Yes, it took me two months to adjust my body and mind in the refining room, and it only took sixty-nine days to actually refine the flying sword, but after that, the cultivation from the Qi Cultivation Realm to the ninth layer of the foundation was restored, this time is not counted, practice, take Bigu Dan, think about it, and practice...... Sure enough, there is no time in the mountains. ”

Thinking of this, looking at Qin Suxin in front of him, Zhang Lie took her hand apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Suxin, you're worried." ”

"The master is dedicated to cultivating the immortal way, he is originally ambitious, and he will only be happy for you, but now this kind of attitude makes the master upset."

Qin Suxin was born in the world of immortal paths, and since she was a child, she was trained as a monk's concubine, so her pursuit of seeking immortals is far more than the rest, even if she has no hope of coming to this path, she also hopes that the master she serves can arrive.

But Qin Suxin is still a woman after all, at this moment, she sees the old man who has always been fierce and fierce, and almost never sees words such as hesitation and weakness on his body, and now he is almost in a state of pinnacle, and he was so distressed at that time, and tears kept falling like beads.

"You're always so crying."

Sad to be sad, after a little to clean up his emotions, Qin Suxin helped his master back to the cave mansion, and then let the other waiters take care of it, while he cooked himself, and quickly made seven or eight delicious and exquisite dishes for Zhang Lie, a small bucket of rice, and a jar of wine.

If a person is seriously injured and his vitality is greatly damaged, there is still a problem that food is difficult to restrain himself, but a cultivator is not so fragile, Zhang Lie eats normally, and in this short period of time, his originally slightly pale face returns to normal.

He hadn't been hurt in the first place, not even his physical vitality. Of course, taking a large amount of Bigu Pill in the past two years is still not good for the body.

"What's going on at home in the past two years? The fourth uncle is an old man, how is he doing recently? ”

Take the delicious food and taste Qin Su's good craftsmanship. Zhang Lie asked casually, but he also knew that there shouldn't be anything big going on, otherwise, Qin Suxin would have forcibly broken into the refining room a long time ago, and it would be impossible to be patient outside.

"In the past two years, the family has developed smoothly, and nothing major has happened. I often go to see the fourth uncle's old man's house, and his spirit is healthy and his appetite is good, so my husband doesn't have to worry too much. ”

"But there was indeed an incident the year before, the sister of the Bai family near the Blue Bird Peak next door, was taken by a monk of the Wei family when she went out to play, and she had to ask the sister of the Bai family to be his fourth concubine, and was met by Uncle Chuanhong, and defeated and humiliated with a sword.

When he said this, Qin Suxin observed Zhang Lie's expression a little carefully, and saw that his husband was just listening to fun, and there was no difference in his expression.

"This kind of thing is not a big deal, everyone is a native of Huanglong County, and the Wei family will not really have an unpleasant quarrel with our family because of this kind of thing."

From here, it can also show the cleverness of Bai Hongju of the Bai family, like Bai Wenjing's special color, the Bai family can't keep it at all, if Bai Wenjing is not sheltered in the Zhang family in Chiyang Valley, she will have to be the fourth concubine of the family.

After Zhang Lie refined the flying sword and was promoted to the ninth layer realm of foundation building, after leaving the customs, he was in the Xiaohuang Mountain Cave Mansion for two months to cultivate and breathe, and then, there was really a major event that affected millions of people.

Years of hunger, cannibalism!

A few simple words in the history books depict a hellish scene.

In a world without immortals, from ancient times to the present, whether ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, every page of history is densely written with the word cannibalism.

It's not abstract, it's not a referent, it's really eating people alive, because otherwise, the rest of the people can't live.

Fortunately, because of the existence of immortal cultivators in this Xuanhuang world, there is usually no large-scale famine in this world.

In the three-year drought, the imperial court will present the book of all people to the local immortal cultivation sect, and there will be monks from the Yuanying Realm, who will fly away from the rainbow, pump the water of the East China Sea, travel clouds and rain for thousands of miles, and relieve the drought.

After three years of flooding, there will be wandering monks who will cut off the river with one finger and change the river for the benefit of one party.

The three-year locust plague, when the trouble is too big, will also alarm the local immortal cultivators to take action, not only to accumulate merit and heavenly hearts, but the mortal population is the foundation of the monks, for the sake of their own Dao Qi number, those immortal cultivators who live in the spiritual mountain will not be able to sit back and watch their own property suffer huge losses.

Therefore, it is possible for mortals in this world to be killed by demon beasts, and it is possible to die from the arrival of extraterritorial heavenly demons and the blood sacrifice of living beings.

However, it is difficult to kill them in large numbers due to celestial disasters in the normal feudal era.

It's just that there are exceptions to everything, this time a small country in the west was swallowed up because of the beast tide, and without the protection of immortal cultivators, mortals could not confront the demon beasts at all, and could only carry out large-scale population migration, in the process, not to mention being killed and devoured by the demon beasts.

The migration of millions of mortals alone has already caused a large number of people to suffer heavy casualties, and there will be a great epidemic in a year of great disaster.

Because of the Western Beast Plague, millions of mortal people migrated, although due to the long distance, they did not migrate to Huanglong County in large numbers, but the plague caused by the death of a large number of people came with the arrival of a small number of migratory people.

Zhang Lie had only been in retreat in the Xiaohuang Mountain Cave Mansion for only two months, when he received a summons from the family, and when he opened it, it was the patriarch's summoning order and a brief description of the situation.

Zhang Lie walked out of the cave to take a look, but saw that Qin Suxin had already changed into a Taoist robe and walked out with a long sword on his back.

"The patriarch summoned you too?"

"Husband, don't underestimate people, this time it's not about fighting with people, but about driving away poison, I'm also a monk of the Zhang family, how can I stay out of it when I encounter such a thing? And my alchemy skills are not necessarily inferior to my husband's. ”

"In addition, Fujun will go to the Blue Bird Peak and bring the Bai family sister with you. In this case, if you can have one more foundation building monk, you will have more strength. ”

Half an hour later, three rays of light flew towards the direction of the Chiyang Valley of Huangshan.
