Chapter 100: Repairing the Artifact
At this point, Yu Xiao slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, with half a happy look on his face.
"The progress is actually much faster than expected, it seems that it will not take half a year, and the first layer will be completed."
In the past, when he cultivated the "Seventy-two Chapters of Taiyin", most of the water he ingested was condensed on the surface of his body, and he could only absorb a small part.
Now that he is cultivating the "Thirty-Six Chapters of the Sun", he is ingesting the flower of fire, although the process is no different, but he can absorb most of the energy, first of all, the efficiency is much higher.
In fact, this situation is not difficult to understand, because his cultivation progress in the "Seventy-two Chapters of Taiyin" is relatively fast, and his body is in a state of yin and yang decline.
At this time, if you cultivate the "Thirty-six Chapters of the Sun", you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort, and vice versa.
At the same time, he also found that his cultivation in the past six months had also improved very quickly, and he was not far from the eighth layer of qi refining.
This speed is not much inferior to refining pills, and it is indeed worthy of the secret book of the Floating Light Sect.
He pondered that before he cultivated to the second level of the Sun Thirty-Six Chapters, there shouldn't be any big obstacles.
After pondering for a long time, Yu Xiao didn't waste any more time, but took out the charcoal and lit the brazier, and continued to cultivate the "Thirty-six Chapters of the Sun", he wanted to reach the first level of perfection in one fell swoop.
Three months later, in a cave halfway up the Yunying Mountain, there was a surging fluctuation of spiritual power, and the surrounding spiritual energy also formed a brief gathering image under the traction of this force.
However, after a few breaths, the vision vanished and did not attract anyone's attention.
At this time, Yu Xiao in the cave mansion, although his expression was calm, but there was a trace of excitement between his eyebrows, he got up and moved his muscles and bones, and muttered to himself: "The power of the eighth layer of qi refining is indeed much stronger than that of the seventh layer of qi refining, and if I face Song Xi again at this time, I will also have some capital to compete." ”
Although more than a year has passed since the trip to the Void Forbidden Land now, and I don't know how much Song Xi's cultivation has improved, judging from the strength of her attack at that time, she may not have the strength to fight.
After the joy, Yu Xiao began to think about the next cultivation plan again.
"Now it's time to find a way to break through the second layer, and I don't know what the effect will be after the two exercises reach the second layer."
From the beginning of cultivating the "Thirty-six Chapters of the Sun" to reaching the first level of consummation, it only took him nine months, which was more than twice as fast as the cultivation of the "Seventy-two Chapters of Taiyin".
Now in his sea of qi, there was not only a blue water droplet, but also a fist-sized flame.
Compared to the two, the water droplets are obviously more solid and agile, constantly swimming, while the flames do not look so real, as if they are dead.
Yu Xiao knew that it was necessary to break through the second layer to give the flame this vitality in order for it to become more real, and this was actually a kind of transformation.
He didn't understand it before, but now he does.
After practicing the "Thirty-six Chapters of the Sun", some of the more jerky parts of the exercises were also easily solved, and the comprehension was far less difficult and complicated than before.
Of course, this kind of comprehension alone is far from enough, at least if you want to comprehend the content after the third layer, you need to cultivate both exercises at the same time to a certain level before you can understand it.
Breaking through the second layer of the "Sun Thirty-Six Chapters", the conditions are not harsh, as long as the fire spirit energy reaches a certain concentration, generally speaking, the earth fire spirit vein can meet his needs very well.
But in Cloud Shadow Mountain, there is no such place, if he forcibly breaks through, he doesn't know what the consequences will bring, and it will attract people from the Snake Fighting Clan.
He remembered that there seemed to be a lot of Earth Fire Secret Rooms in the Great Wilderness City, and although the environment there could not be compared to the real Earth Fire Spirit Vein, it could at least ensure that there was abundant Fire Spirit Qi, and it should not be a problem for him to break through the second layer.
It really doesn't work, he can also spend some spirit stones to buy fire essence qi, that thing is more refined than fire spirit qi, and it can definitely meet his needs.
It just so happened that he had also done some research on the way of refining weapons this year, and he was ready to start repairing a large number of sand bottles, after all, this magic weapon was very easy to use, and if he repaired it as soon as possible, he would be able to have more powerful means.
After making up his mind, he walked out of the cave and came to the camp at the foot of the mountain to find Ding Youke.
At this time, the latter was studying a map of unknown places, very distracted, his dry palm touched the table, raised his index finger and tapped it from time to time, as if thinking about something.
"If the junior wants to go to the Great Wilderness City, it may take some more time, so I have come to report to the elder and ask the elder for permission." Yu Xiao bowed and said.
He wasn't quite sure in his heart whether the other party would agree, because there had been some rumors in Cloud Shadow Mountain recently, and it seemed that someone from the Snake Fighting Clan had been found in the surrounding area, which made everyone very nervous.
As soon as these words came out, Ding Youke seemed to realize that someone had walked in, raised his head and glanced at Yu Xiao, his eyes were a little stagnant, as if he was thinking about who the person in front of him was.
The two sides fell into a short silence, the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward, Yu Xiao was about to say something, Ding Youke seemed to remember something, and replied weakly: "Give you ten days, go early and return early." ”
"Thank you, Elder!" Yu Xiao was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
Ten days, in addition to the six days spent on the road, he still has four days to do his own business, which should be enough.
Three days later, the Great Wilderness City.
Yu Xiao was interrogated as soon as he came to the city gate, and it could be seen that the Great Wilderness City had been very nervous recently, and the guards at the gate had carefully searched everyone who came in and out.
Fortunately, he had the token to identify himself, and he entered the city without any trouble.
Yu Xiao walked on the streets of the Great Wilderness City, and there were some discussions in his ears from time to time.
He didn't really hear it, those people seemed to be talking about leaving the Great Wilderness City and going to another city, and the reason was naturally because of the threat of the Snake Fighting Clan.
According to Yuan Xin, at the other end of the Divine Tree Forest, there is a larger city called Kuijiang City.
From the Great Wilderness City to Kuijiang City, you need to cross the Sacred Tree Forest, during which you will pass through the territory of the Fighting Snake Clan, which is generally more dangerous, especially when there is a conflict between the two sides.
However, if many monks go together, they can retreat to a greater extent when they encounter the Snake Fighting Clan, and those people are looking for companions who can go to Kuijiang City together.
Yu Xiao had already heard some news about the movements of the Snake Fighting Clan in Cloud Shadow Mountain, and if he could, he also wanted to go to Kuijiang City to take refuge, but he had a garrison mission and couldn't leave the Huangkue Cave, so he could only think that the Snake Fighting Clan had better not attack the ore veins.
After a long turn, he came to a huge stone house called 'Wufang Tower', he stopped, stopped for a moment, and then walked in.
If I'm not mistaken, this should be the place where the Great Wilderness City provides materials and auxiliary tools for alchemy and refining, and it is very lively in normal times.
It was also the recent activities of the Snake Fighting Clan that made the monks of the Great Wilderness City feel uneasy, so many people went to Kuijiang City to take refuge together, causing the Wufang Building to look a little deserted.
The exterior of the Wufang Building looks very simple, it is a stone building, and its interior is also quite simple, basically without any decoration, except for a long solid wood table, there is only a passage that extends downward, leading to the place where the earth fire is collected.
Because there were no guests, there was only a red-faced gray-bearded old man at the long table, who was lying on a chair shaking his head and humming an unknown song, looking very leisurely.
Yu Xiao couldn't see the depth of the old man, he only knew that the other party's cultivation was very high, and he thought that there was already a foundation building period.
This surprised him very much, a foundation building period monk actually did this kind of thing, Yuelan Continent is really the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Just as he was thinking, the gray-bearded old man had already opened his eyes, and grinned at him: "Xiaoyou looks fresh, I think it's the first time to come to Wufang Building, our Wufang Building has all kinds of alchemy furnaces, casting tripods and other magic weapons, as well as Danfang, refining spirit materials and other items, the earth fire secret room is open all day."
If you want to learn alchemy, or understand the knowledge of refining, we can also provide detailed information and master codex, the price is absolutely fair, and it is guaranteed to satisfy you. ”
Yu Xiao didn't dare to slack off, and stepped forward to salute: "I've seen the seniors, and the juniors are indeed the first time to come to Wufang Building. ”
"Don't call my predecessors, my surname is Zou, just call me Zou Lao, I don't know what Xiaoyou needs?" The gray-bearded old man smiled kindly, and a pair of small eyes looked back and forth on Yu Xiao's body.
"Well, Zou Lao, the junior wants to rent a fire room." Yu Xiao asked tentatively.
When it came to business, Zou Lao suddenly showed a bit of his true character as a profiteer, and set the price in one bite: "Ten spirit stones a day in the Earth Fire Secret Room!" No counter-offers! ”
Hearing this, Yu Xiao almost scolded in his heart, this old guy was still approachable before, and his nature was directly exposed in the next second.
Renting an earth-fire secret room actually costs ten spirit stones, why don't you grab it.
Although ten spirit stones were not much, and it was nothing to him, this kind of unjust money could not be spent.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiao opened his mouth and asked: "Well, if the junior wants to buy some spiritual materials, he needs the spirit of fire, old Zou...... Can you let the juniors borrow the Earth Fire Secret Room for free? ”
"This kid actually has to care about even ten spirit stones, could it be that I am mistaken, he is obviously different from other monks, could it be that he simply wants to take advantage of me?"
After muttering in his heart, Zou Lao said unhurriedly: "The fire spirit qi has seven spirit stones on an inch scale, how many do you want?" ”
Seven spirit stones on a one-inch scale are not expensive, but Yu Xiao asked cautiously just in case: "How much do you need to buy for the juniors, and you are willing to let me borrow the fire room for free?" ”
At this time, Zou Lao was not very sure whether Yu Xiao was the master of the spirit stone, and he didn't dare to say too high, for fear of scaring the other party away, so he said in a deep voice: "At least one foot of the scale." ”
"One-foot scale?"
Yu Xiao frowned slightly, for him, he didn't know if it could meet the needs of the breakthrough, and he thought that it was better to be safe, so he replied: "That junior buys a three-foot scale, and comes with a three-day use period of the Earth Fire Secret Room, how about it?" ”
"Three-foot scale!"
As soon as he heard this, Zou Lao's eyebrows suddenly turned into a crescent moon shape, and he immediately agreed: "Okay, two hundred and ten spirit stones of fire essence qi with a three-foot scale, let you use the earth fire secret room for free for three days." ”
After a while, Zou Lao walked over with a bead engraved with three red lines, handed over a prohibition token, and explained: "The lower the position of the Earth Fire Secret Room, the higher the temperature of the flames, if you are just injecting spirit into the magic weapon, I advise you to choose the one that is a little higher." ”
After speaking, he stopped talking nonsense, and after receiving two hundred and ten spirit stones, he lay on the chair with Erlang's legs crossed and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Yu Xiao took the forbidden token and walked down the passage, he did not choose the earth fire secret room on the top, but came directly to the area on the ground floor, and walked in casually.
The Earth Fire Chamber is a fire pit connected to the Earth Fire, and flames continue to emerge from below, which can be used to refine magic weapons or elixirs with a little guidance, which is very convenient.
"The heat here is not bad!" Yu Xiao glanced at the prohibitions around the secret room, and after making sure that it was very firm, he sat down with peace of mind.
In the next three days, he needs to break through the second layer of "Thirty-six Chapters of the Sun" and repair a large number of sandbottles.
After thinking about it, he felt that it was safer to repair the magic weapon first, in case when he broke through the second layer of the "Thirty-Six Chapters of the Sun", the firepower of the Earth Fire Secret Room would decrease, and the gains would outweigh the losses.
The process of repairing a magic weapon is actually much simpler than refining a magic weapon, because most of the damage to the magic weapon is caused by the lack of internal prohibition, as long as the prohibition is re-entered.
This kind of thing is handed over to a professional refiner to do, and it doesn't cost many spirit stones, but the reason why Yu Xiao insists on repairing a large number of sand bottles by himself is naturally to improve the quality of it.
There are only twenty-two prohibitions in the Dinghai sand bottle, which is becoming more and more insufficient for him who is improving his cultivation day by day.
He now has an eight-level Qi refining cultivation, and he can drive up to forty forbidden magic weapons.
For a magic weapon, the amount of its internal prohibition will directly determine the power of the magic weapon, and the twenty-two forbidden sand bottles, even if they are made up by other means, it is difficult to compete with the forty forbidden magic weapons.
What he wants to do is to make the Dingmassive sand bottle not fall behind in the number of prohibitions, and at the same time be more powerful.
In order to learn the way of refining, Yu Xiao specially bought a medium-grade magic weapon casting tripod, and often took it out to practice his hands, and now he has some experience.
He drew the fire of the earth into the caster, and put the materials needed for repair into it for smelting.
This process takes a lot of time, but fortunately, Yu Xiao has patience, compared to alchemy, refining magic weapons may not require much elaborate operation, but it is not sloppy.
A day later, after all the materials in the caster were smelted, he put a large amount of sand bottles into it and began to repair the cracks on the surface, which was actually the easiest step, basically with his hands.
As the bottle body was repaired, Yu Xiao raised his hand and dropped two tricks.
In an instant, a powerful spiritual power surged out from inside the vial, like an outpouring flood, rolling up a violent whirlwind in the Earthfire Secret Room, almost overturning the Forge Ding.
And the vial, which has lost all its spiritual power, looks no different from an ordinary bottle, with no aura at all.
The purpose of this step is to dispel all the prohibitions that exist in the bottle and return it to its original form.
The next step is the most critical step in repairing the magic weapon, giving a large number of sand bottles to re-establish a complete ban.
Over the past year, Yu Xiao has practiced the steps of laying down the prohibition many times, and he has memorized the types of prohibition of various magic weapons.
He didn't hesitate for a moment, he directly raised his hand to condense the forbidden law pattern and slapped it into the massive sand bottle.
Airplanes!
The vial was impacted by the spiritual power, and its body trembled slightly, letting out a low roar, as if it was roaring excitedly.
Yu Xiao raised his hand again, and hit five prohibitions in a row, and the massive sand bottle was surrounded by cyan streamers, and the momentum was rising, and the body of the bottle was constantly flashing with the pattern of the forbidden law.
At this time, the number of prohibitions inside the Dingmassive sandbottle has reached six, which is far from meeting Yu Xiao's needs.
He twisted his hands like wheels, his fingers kept changing, and he slapped into fifteen prohibitions one after another.
At this time, the Dingmassive sand bottle had returned to the level before the repair, and it had become shining again, and the powerful spiritual power made people feel a trace of palpitations.
