Zhou Yang returned safely, and Zhou Guangxiang and Xiao Ying, who stayed behind on Chihu Mountain, were relieved.

Although he has only been away for a few days, without him as the pillar of the family, whether it is Zhou Guangxiang, who sits in the family on his behalf, or Xiao Ying, a Taoist couple, they all have a feeling of unsteadiness, for fear that something will happen to him when he goes out alone.

Now that he has returned safely, the hearts of the two of them have finally fallen back.

"Ying'er, this is the [Purifying and Extinguishing Blue Lotus Fire], you can try to see if you can refine it. ”

In the "Qianyang Cave", after Zhou Yang came back, he waved his hand and released the "Lihuo Vermilion Bird Furnace" that he had put away, and opened the lid of the furnace to let the "Pure Extinguishing Blue Lotus Fire" inside be able to see the light of day.

"Is this the [Purifying and Extinguishing Blue Lotus Fire]?

Xiao Yingmei stared at the blue-purple flame in the furnace that looked like a lotus flower, and let out a small exclamation with joy on her pretty face.

Then she came back to her senses, and immediately according to what Zhou Yang said, she played a series of fire control techniques against the blue-purple flame, ready to refine it.

It's just that as soon as the mana she played fell onto the cyan purple flame, it would soon be refined by the flames, and there was no way to establish a connection with it at all.

After trying like this a few times, she stopped trying, shook her head dejectedly and said, "No, the concubine's cultivation is too low, Zhou Lang, you should refine this spiritual fire by yourself!"

When Zhou Yang saw this scene, he couldn't help but stretch out his hands and take his beloved wife into his arms and hug him, and comforted him softly: "It's okay, not now, it doesn't mean that it won't work in the future, wait for Ying'er to try it after you reach the ninth layer of the foundation, maybe it's okay, if you can't wait for Ying'er, you can always succeed after you open up the Purple Mansion!"

"Purifying and extinguishing the green lotus fire" is the most suitable heaven and earth spiritual fire for alchemists, there is no alchemist who does not want to have this kind of heaven and earth spiritual fire, Xiao Ying heard Zhou Yang say this, and her heart was suddenly full of sweetness.

She gently buried her head in Zhou Yang's arms and said "um", and did not mention the matter again.

Next, after the two of them had been warming up for a while, Zhou Yang moved the "Purifying and Extinguishing Blue Lotus Fire" to the earth fire room in the cave mansion for storage, so that it could absorb the aura of refining the spirit veins of Chihu Mountain and the fire vein aura in the earth fire mouth to maintain its own consumption.

However, he himself put the vacated "Leaving the Fire Vermilion Bird Furnace" in front of him, threw the black and red stones he had cut and collected into it, and tempered them with fierce fire.

Flame quenched real gold.

After Zhou Yang stayed in the earth fire room for half a month, he finally quenched all the black and red stones he collected into "Separation from Fire Essence Gold", and he finally weighed that the total weight of these quenched "Separation Fire Essence Gold" was as high as nineteen catties, seven taels and three dollars.

With so much "Fire Essence Gold", just the money from selling materials can sell 200,000 lower grade spirit stones, which is enough to buy a "Purple Heart Chalcedony" to assist in opening up the Purple Mansion!

Originally, Zhou Yang was still a little painful about the news that he had paid a Tsukidan for only one thing, but now, all he had on his face was a smile.

"So much fire essence gold, if it is used to refine flying swords, and then add some other materials, it is not difficult to refine twelve or thirteen, and in the future, the flying swords I use to perform the "Dayan Sword Technique" will finally be lost!"

Zhou Yang had a smile on his face, and the fatigue caused by half a month of sleepless sleep was swept away because of this harvest.

Of course, he didn't start refining the fourth-order magic weapon right away, but put away the materials, walked out of the earth fire room, and returned to the bedroom to rest.

After resting like this for a few days and fully recovering his state, Zhou Yang entered the refining room and began refining the fourth-order magic weapon.

He chose to refine the flying sword, this kind of magic weapon he refined the most, it can be said that he is the most proficient, and the success rate should be much higher than that of other magic weapons.

Because it was the first time to refine, he was not willing to use precious materials such as "Taiyi Essence Gold" and "Star Meteorite Iron", but only used ordinary fourth-order materials to refine.

As a result, even if he put all his effort into refining, it was not surprising that he failed when he arranged the forbidden spell for the magic weapon.

The higher the level of the magic weapon, the more complex the law forbidden carried inside became, which extremely tested the refiner's skills.

This is not only related to divine consciousness and mana, but also a test of the refiner's innate understanding.

Just like those painting masters, real masters, even if they don't give him a paintbrush or a sketchpad, just a piece of charcoal, he can paint amazing works on the white paper on the floor.

A refiner or alchemist is only qualified to be called a "master" when he has reached the fourth order.

A refiner or alchemist below the fourth order, no matter how exquisite his skills are, he cannot be called a "master".

Zhou Yang wants to be promoted from a refiner to a refiner, of course, it will not be so easy.

Fortunately, he is not in a hurry, and after failure, he sums up his experience, looks for the reasons for failure, and deduces the method of success from failure.

Every refiner finds the secret of success through countless failures, and one of the criteria for judging a good refiner and a mediocre refiner is to look at the number of times they fail.

A good refiner may only fail three or four times, five or six times, and then find the reason for the failure and improve it, so as to achieve success.

And those mediocre refiners may have to fail a dozen or dozens of times before it is possible to improve on their failures and achieve success.

Zhou Yang's refining talent may not be top-notch, but it is definitely not bad, and he has the knowledge of the two worlds, and his comprehension is much better than most refiners.

What's more, he also has a hardware advantage that other third-order refiners absolutely can't have, whether it is the "Qianyang True Fire" or the "Lihuo Vermilion Bird Furnace", they are all things that are very helpful for refining.

Therefore, after nearly a year of retreat and six failures, Zhou Yang finally succeeded in refining the first fourth-order magic weapon in his life when he refined the fourth-order magic weapon for the seventh time.

This magic weapon is a fourth-order low-grade flying sword, and its main material is a fire attribute material "Flame Crystal Iron", in which Zhou Yang also mixed three taels of "Fire Essence Gold" to increase the power of the flying sword.

Therefore, although it was the first work of him, a new fourth-order refiner, this flying sword was not inferior to the same rank flying sword refined by any veteran fourth-order refiner in terms of power.

"In the future, I will call you [Liyang Sword]!"

In the refining room, Zhou Yang gently stroked the flying sword in his hand that had just come out of the oven, and set the name of the flying sword with a look of relief on his face.

Many refiners have the habit of keeping the first magic weapon they refined after their alchemy breakthrough as a collection, and for them, this first magic weapon has a special commemorative significance, and they don't want it to be damaged in the fighting method.

Zhou Yang is no exception.

The magic weapon "Vermilion Bird Ring" he refined when he was promoted to a third-order refiner is still wearing it in the hands of Taoist Xiao Ying, this magic weapon Xiao Ying may never use, but it is a testimony to the relationship between the two.

And now this "Liyang Sword", he also plans to collect it in the treasure room in his cave mansion as a collection.

Originally, being promoted to a fourth-order refiner was something worth celebrating.

However, given that he had just held a Purple Mansion celebration not long ago, and that there were few high-level cultivators in the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm now, basically no one needed to find him, a fourth-order refiner, to refine the weapon, so Zhou Yang just informed the Zhou family of the news and asked them to spread the news.

At this time, seventeen years have passed since Zhou Yang successfully opened up the Purple Mansion, and his cultivation has not improved much because he has been busy cultivating supernatural powers and improving alchemy techniques all these years, and he is still staying on the first floor of the Purple Mansion.

This situation had never happened before, so after he broke through to the fourth order in his alchemy technique, the thought of going to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm came out again.

No one knew his own situation better than Zhou Yang, and the main reason why his cultivation was able to improve so quickly before was that he could continuously improve his cultivation by taking pills.

And now, with his cultivation to the Purple Mansion Stage, it is basically impossible for the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Realm to find a fourth-order elixir for him to take.

The Huangsha Sect with this kind of fourth-order elixir, the monks in its own sect are not enough points, how can they be willing to give it to him.

On the other hand, he wanted to refine a complete set of fourth-order flying swords, and he still lacked some precious fourth-order materials, which could only be quickly collected in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm.

And as his cultivation breaks through to the Purple Mansion Stage, it is time to prepare for the matter of the Immortal Formation, whether it is the spiritual object that assists the Immortal Pill, or the spiritual object that refines the natal magic weapon after the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it is not something that can be collected in the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm.

There was also the "Ning Yuan Fruit" tree found in the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, which was also waiting for him to pick the spirit fruit on it.

All these things made him a little unable to stay on Chihu Mountain and practice behind closed doors anymore.

But as the patriarch of the Zhou family and the pillar of the Zhou family, if he wants to go far away, it is obviously impossible for him to leave as soon as he says he wants to go away.

Before leaving, he had to arrange all things in place to ensure that the Zhou family would not fall into chaos after he left, and to ensure that after he left, someone could help him shelter the Zhou family in case of danger.

"Hey, let's wait a few more years!"

"Wait a few more years, Ying'er will be able to try to impact the third-order high-grade alchemist, and the [Purple Cloud Fruit] over there in the Purple Cloud Cave will also be able to mature in a few years. ”

"This time, when I go to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, I don't know how long I want to stay there, before leaving, I have to let Ying'er refine a furnace of Zhuji Dan and put it in the family for the clansmen to exchange and use. ”

Shake your head, sigh!

Zhou Yang collected his mind and began to practice the third layer of the "Golden Cicada Hiding Technique".

If you want to go to Liuyun Continent to cultivate the Immortal Realm, you must first cross the Broken Cloud Mountain Range.

Although Huangshamen will prepare the "Hidden Spirit Incense" for him, the "Hidden Spirit Incense" cannot be 100% guaranteed that he will not be discovered by the demon beasts, and if something happens inside, this secret technique is the most important means for him to escape and save his life inside.
