Creating your own magic weapon is undoubtedly an extremely money-burning job.

In the fourth-order refiner inheritance that Zhou Minghan obtained, there happened to be a summary of the refiner's experience in creating his own magic weapon, which was also the reason why he suggested that Zhou Yang try to create his own magic weapon.

According to the above record of the refining tradition, if a refiner wants to create his own magic weapon, it is best to choose a common sword magic weapon to try, because the refining materials of this kind of magic weapon usually do not require too much, and in terms of fault tolerance, it is not comparable to small magic weapons such as flying needles and daggers.

Even so, the spirit stones that should be burned still have to be burned, and a refiner with an average net worth really can't afford to play this kind of money-burning game.

Zhou Yang also dared to use this method to practice because he had a mine at home.

In order to create his own magic weapon, he directly intercepted thirty percent of the production of the red flame iron ore vein and the refined iron ore vein, and used it to refine the first-order high-grade magic weapon "Flame Sword".

With his current cultivation and alchemy, it would take no more than two quarters of an hour to refine a first-order magic weapon, and the success rate was one hundred percent.

But that refers to refining a magic weapon that already has a refining map, and you have to create your own magic weapon, of course, you can't do that.

Therefore, he took the initiative to extend the time for refining a magic weapon to an hour, and in order to improve the success rate, he did not hesitate to use the "Qianyang True Fire" to quench the impurities in the raw materials.

The "Flame Sword" he envisioned had to have a forbidden "Flame" in it, which consisted of a total of six rune nodes and twelve spirit patterns that connected the rune nodes, and these runes and spirit patterns must be completely and coherently integrated into the sword embryo to form a perfect cycle.

Originally, the structure and shape of the first-order magic weapon "Flame Knife" was the most suitable shape for the "Flame" forbidden.

And now, Zhou Yang has to modify the original arrangement of the "Flame" legal ban without changing the overall shape of the sword embryo, and finally modify a "Flame" legal ban suitable for sword magic weapons.

This is undoubtedly extremely difficult, the arrangement of the "Flame" method forbidden in the "Flame Knife" is the best choice that the senior refiners have found after countless attempts, and it is already very stable and mature.

He now wants to change the arrangement of the "Law Forbidden", even if he slightly changes the position of a rune node, or the arc of the spirit pattern, it may cause the Law Prohibition to become invalid, and then destroy the embryo of the magic weapon.

And every time he failed, Zhou Yang would use his divine sense to record where his failure point was in the blank jade slip, and then test the new combination method by comparing the results recorded every day.

Whenever this happens, Zhou Yang will miss the mobile phone and computer in his previous life, although Yu Jian can also record a lot of knowledge information, but compared with computers and mobile phones, whether it is the amount of storage or the convenience of recording, it is not a level.

Why do immortal cultivators have to build a foundation and cultivate above to record knowledge information with jade slips?

The reason is because only the divine consciousness of the monks in the foundation building period after deformation and condensation can keep the information left in the jade slip for a long time and not disperse quickly.

Spring goes to autumn, winter goes to summer solstice, and in the blink of an eye, the blank jade slips that Zhou Yang used to record information have filled a three-story cabinet, and the number of jade slips up and down has exceeded eight hundred!

Eight hundred jade slips represent eight hundred first-order magic weapons, and if you calculate the market price of ten lower-grade spirit stones for a first-order magic weapon on the market, it is eight thousand lower-grade spirit stones!

After burning 8,000 spirit stones in two years, Rao is Zhou Yang has a mine at home, and he feels that he can't bear it, so he has to suspend this money-burning game.

As the patriarch, of course, he has the right to use the family resources to cultivate, but the patriarch can't waste the family resources like this!

Therefore, the spirit stones he is burning now are actually going to be accounted for in the family finances.

According to the calculation that refining a magic weapon requires the consumption of three spirit stones worth of red flame iron materials, his more than 800 jade slips are more than 2,500 lower-grade spirit stones, and then counting the production and purchase costs of the blank jade slips, he owes his family at least 3,000 lower-grade spirit stones.

He doesn't have to return this spirit stone now, but it has to be deducted from his future family offerings.

And the contribution points he owes to the family now, because of the purchase of Tsukidan and a few third-order magic weapons taken out of the family treasure house in his hand, have reached more than 20,000 points, and this is still the result of deducting 10,000 contribution points from the "Blood Demon Secret Technique" he offered at the beginning.

According to his annual contribution of 300 points, it will take at least seventy or eighty years to repay this debt.

This is also what he can do as a monk in the foundation building period and the patriarch of the family, otherwise he would have been an ordinary family monk, and Zhou Xuanlin, who was responsible for managing the family's finances, would have come to collect debts in person.

What made Zhou Yang depressed and heartbroken the most was that he burned so many spirit stones for experiments, but the results achieved were very few, and he didn't succeed once.

If you want to advance to a third-order refiner, you still can't see any hope at the moment.

The only consolation for him is that although his own career has not been smooth, the family's business has been thriving and smooth sailing in the past few years.

More than five years have passed since he returned to the family to take over as the patriarch.

In the past five years, the family branch on the side of the Baisha River Oasis has officially gained a foothold, and through the "Fengyue Building", the family has been provided with six newborns with spiritual roots, including a medium-grade spiritual root baby girl.

In addition, after five years of preparation, the Chen family has rebuilt an immortal cultivator's fang city on a third-order mid-grade spiritual vein on the White Camel Ridge, and named it "Ping'an Fang City", it is said that Li Ping'an, the first foundation building monk of the Chen family, is ready to sit in it all the year round in the future.

According to the promise of the Chen family, the Zhou family obtained two shops for free in the newly built "Ping'an Fang City", and re-hung the signboards of "Yuquan Building" and "Drunken Immortal Building", and Zhou Yang's father Zhou Xuanhao also officially entered Fang City and became one of the monks stationed in Fang City.

On the family's side, Zhou Xuantai, the current great elder of the Zhou family, was successfully promoted to become a second-order lower-grade array mage, and the seventeenth uncle Zhou Xuanzhao was also successfully promoted to a second-order beast tamer by domesticating the hatched "Flame Devouring Spider", which strengthened the family's heritage in these two aspects.

In addition, the eleventh uncle Zhou Xuankun also broke through to the ninth layer of qi cultivation and became the fifth elder of the Zhou family, and among the rest of the "Xuan" and "Yuan" character cultivators, there were also many people who had a breakthrough in cultivation.

In addition, the number of newborns in the family has increased significantly in the past five years, and there are as many as twelve newborns with spiritual root qualifications, including one high-grade spiritual root and two medium-grade spiritual roots.

In this way, the five "Yuan" generation babies born from the "Xuan" character generation were removed, and the number of "Guang" generation monks in the next generation of the Zhou family has reached as many as fifteen.

Because there were too many babies born at the same time, Zhou Yang had to ask the old patriarch Zhou Minghan to establish a monk academy on Yuquan Peak, so that all children who reached the age of five entered the academy to learn the knowledge of cultivating immortals, and he also personally took the time to teach a few classes.

On this day, when Zhou Yang was practicing in the bedroom, he suddenly received a flying sword message from the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, asking him to go to Yuquan Peak to discuss an urgent matter.

He didn't dare to slack off after receiving the summons, and immediately found his mother Lin Yuting and his eighth aunt Zhou Xuanyan to explain the situation, and then released a flying sword and flew to the Yuquan Lake Oasis.

As soon as he rushed back to Yuquan Peak, he was immediately called into the cave by the old patriarch to discuss matters.

"Today, Chen Pingzhi suddenly used a third-order high-grade flying sword to send me a flying sword book four thousand miles away, and asked you to go to the Baisha River Oasis to help him do something, and he didn't say anything in the letter, what do you think?"

In the cave mansion on the top of the mountain, Zhou Minghan took out a small golden sword more than two feet long and handed it to him while talking about the purpose of hurriedly calling Zhou Yang over.

This golden sword was refined using the third-order spiritual object "Red Xuan Essence Gold", and every foundation building monk of the Chen family would obtain such a third-order high-grade transmission flying sword refined with "Red Xuan Essence Gold" after building the foundation, which would be used to transmit information to the family at a critical moment.

Although the value of this kind of flying sword used for communication is not as high as the flying sword used in the Rank Fighting Method, it is also worth at least thousands of spirit stones, and a glimpse of the whole leopard can be seen, which shows how deep the background of the Purple Mansion family is in the Chen family.

You must know that even a sect like Huangshamen would not be able to build a foundation monk under the sect with a third-order high-grade transmission flying sword.

Zhou Yang played with the flying sword in his hand, thought carefully for a while, and then looked at the old patriarch and asked, "What do you think, great-grandfather? Judging from your experience, what kind of thing will Chen Pingzhi do when he asks me to help him do things at this time?"

Zhou Minghan had obviously thought about this question, and when he heard him ask, he immediately replied: "According to the information that the old man has learned in the past few years, Old Ancestor Chen has not only not given up searching for the whereabouts of the sand bandits who attacked the oasis over the years, but has sent the Chen family monks and hired scattered cultivators to search for the traces of the sand bandits in the surrounding sand sea many times, so he has even discovered several new small oases and spiritual veins. ”

According to the old man's estimate, Chen Pingzhi should have learned the location of a certain senior monk's cave mansion or a rare spiritual object from the mouth of a lucky scattered cultivator. ”

"He doesn't want to share this benefit with the people of the Chen family, so he will ask you, an outsider who owes him a favor, to accompany him on an adventure. ”

This explanation is reasonable, and Zhou Yang also knows that in a big family like the Chen family, which has been inherited for seven or eight hundred years, it is inevitable that there will be some dirty things.

Chen Pingzhi, as Chen Ping'an's half-brother, would definitely be squeezed out by some other Chen family foundation period monks when his brother Chen Ping'an occupied a lot of the family's resources, and he probably didn't want to share his opportunity with those people.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but follow the words of the old patriarch and said to himself: "He doesn't want to share his opportunity with the Chen family, but he didn't call his brother Li Ping'an, it seems that this opportunity is not too big, in this case, the danger should not exceed the level of building the foundation." ”

"That's how it should be. Zhou Minghan nodded, agreeing with his speculation.

"In that case, my great-grandfather will send him a letter of reply to the flying sword, and say that I agreed, and I will rush to the Baisha River Oasis to meet him later. Zhou Yang groaned slightly, and quickly made a choice.

made this choice, firstly, he wanted to change to Chen Pingzhi's favor, secondly, he had not seen him for a few years, he also wanted to take the opportunity to visit his father in the Baisha River Oasis, and by the way, he would bring his mother over to reunite with his father, and thirdly, he wanted to increase his knowledge and experience the life of immortal cultivators who teamed up to explore.

After he made his choice, he handed the Transmission Flying Sword in his hand to the old patriarch, and then watched the old patriarch inject a large amount of mana into the flying sword, inspiring the flying sword to turn into a golden light and walk through the air in the direction of the Baisha River Oasis.
