Ever since Chu He defeated Guo Feng that day, the balance of negotiations between the two states began to tilt in favor of the Yunzhou side.

However, the people of Qingzhou are not incompetent, knowing that the current situation is unfavorable, they chose to temporarily suspend the truce, delaying the negotiation process for a while.

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, Chu He has a very comfortable time during this time, and every day he goes to Zheng Jiuxuan to ask for advice on the tricks of swordsmanship, and shows his face in front of the people of Qingzhou every once in a while, and there is a steady stream of materials sent over from Yunzhou.

In today's Yunzhou, the Xu family can be regarded as the real uncrowned king, and even the Qianyang Martial Sect does not dare to persecute the Xu family too much at this critical juncture. Otherwise, the Xu family would change the court in anger, and it would be a big problem.

Therefore, although Chu He wanted a lot of miscellaneous things, the Xu family still collected most of the materials in just a few days and sent them to Chu He.

The casting of the sword code can be roughly divided into three steps.

First of all, a large number of materials must be put into a certain order, calcined by the flames of the Heavenly Fire level, and then smelted into the appearance of the sword canon body by refining techniques - that is, in the early years, it was mistaken by Chu He for the picture scroll of the Taiji Diagram.

The Sword Codex is meant to carry the power of the nine swords, and if the body is not strong enough, it is likely to collapse directly.

After completing the main body, the next thing is the secret of the sword canon's ability to detain the soul of the sword, and the unimaginably complex formations on the scroll.

When the formation pattern is also drawn, the true spirit in the sea of knowledge is finally introduced into the sword codex, so that the sword code can be "lived" again, and it will truly become his Chu He's natal spirit treasure and become a real magic weapon.

Each of these three steps is extremely complicated, and now Chu He only sees a little light at the end of the first step.

On this day, leaving Zheng Jiuxuan's residence again, Chu He finally decided to put aside the work of systematically learning the sword arts, and try the casting of the sword code first.

After a few days of discussion with Zheng Jiuxuan, Chu He finally found that it was not so easy to really master the other party's methods that amazed him.

The True Yuan Sword is just a small means, and Chu He can learn it as soon as he learns it because he has the experience of manipulating the True Yuan Beam, and he is no stranger to the True Yuan Condensing Sword. And the two methods that Zheng Jiuxuan taught him in the past few days are not so simple.

The first is the sword formation that Chu He dreamed of. In this regard, Zheng Jiuxuan had no intention of hiding his secrets, and taught Chu He all the layout techniques of several simple sword formations. It's a pity that the sword array looks easy, but in fact, the conditions laid out are very harsh, and Chu He can't do it at all now.

Needless to say, the repeated practice of oneself is needless to say, and more importantly, the sword array has extremely high requirements for the sword itself, not only to complement each other's attributes, but also to have similar qualities, so as to form a sword array.

From these two perspectives, although Chu He has a lot of swords in his hand, he can't form any real sword formation, at most it is a small fight between the two swords, and it can't be put on the table at all.

And Zheng Jiuxuan's other housekeeping skill, "Sword Cultivation Technique", is still of little effect on Chu He, who has a sword code. Because after the sword code is really cast, the sword code itself can continue to nourish the sword and make it more powerful.

"Senior sister, I'm going to retreat for a while, and if there's nothing serious, don't bother me. ”

Chu He felt that after the appearance of the past few days, the Qingzhou side should have reined in some temper, and the two sides could also set the general negotiation pattern, and they didn't need to do much on their own, so they could settle down and cast the sword codex.

Chen Qiling stayed in the Xuanmen for more than ten days, and she was a little idle: "I think it won't take long for the negotiations between the two sides to end, if you are not in a hurry, you might as well wait until you go back and then retreat?"

After all, there are many people in the Xuanmen, and Chen Qiling is also afraid that Chu He will make a big move.

"It's just the rudiments of refining a magic weapon. Chu He smiled and waved his hand. It's just that refining the shape of the sword canon, it's really not a big deal, even if it's stared at, it's fine, it's just a half-finished product.

Sitting alone in the room, Chu He took out the various materials placed in several Sumeru bags and placed them in front of him.

The initial steps of high-level qi refining weapons are actually the same, that is, they must first purify and condense materials of insufficient quality.

Naturally occurring materials almost always contain a variety of impurities, which is a law of nature and has nothing to do with the level of the material. In order to use these materials in refining magic weapons, the first step is to remove these impurities.

And the way to remove impurities is also very simple, that is, calcination with a flame.

In the end, when refining the sword codex, you must use the flame of the Heavenly Fire level, but the previous material purification, you only need to use ordinary real fire - directly using the Heavenly Fire to burn the natural material will only burn a pile of ashes.

As long as each monk reaches the foundation building period, he can release the true fire with the true element, and the effect of refining the weapon with the true fire is far better than that of ordinary fire.

Previously, Chu He had only briefly come into contact with some knowledge of refining, and the number of actual operations was only a handful, but now he could only catch the ducks on the shelves and explore the tricks of refining on his own.

Fortunately, the most basic material smelting, there is no special skill to speak of, nothing more than the grasp of the strength of the flame.

After wasting most of the day's time and a large number of common materials, Chu He finally made a small success in refining weapons - at least he wouldn't burn all the materials into fly ashes.

Chu He roughly calculated, according to his progress, if he wanted to refine the completed Sword Dictionary Scroll, I am afraid it would take at least more than a month.

Don't look at the fact that other people's refining tools have been refining for several years, I think that Chu He only took a month is a very fast speed. You must know that this is only the first step, and it is also the step that requires the least technical content in the entire refining process.

When someone else refines a magic weapon, it may only take a few hours to shape the body of the magic weapon. Of course, this is also because there are too many materials needed to forge the sword, which will delay the time of forging materials for an extraordinarily long time.

At this time, Chu He's heart suddenly moved, and a figure suddenly jumped in from outside the house, it was Chu Yanlan, who had not been seen for a long time.

"You're finally willing to come over?" Chu He raised his head with a smile and said.

Chu Yanlan snorted: "It was the Sword Dictionary that asked me to come over." ”

Chu He was stunned for a moment, he knew that with the inner demon as the spokesperson, the sword code could indeed express some of his will, but they were actually able to contact Chu Yanlan directly, which still made Chu He a little surprised.

So Chu He subconsciously asked, "What did the Sword Code let you do?"

Chu Yanlan pointed to a pile of defective products in front of him: "Teach a certain refining idiot how to refine materials." ”
