Speaking of Li Jingtian, he is really unlucky. He was promised countless benefits by the Jindan monk of the sect, and then gave him a thunderbolt to enter the mine and take out a kind of ore, asking for at least 1,000 catties.

Monk Jin Dan did not explicitly say that the ore was Jin Xuanshi, and Li Jingtian did not know. If he knew that it was such a precious ore, maybe he would have been more cautious.

When Li Jingtian came to this mysterious mine with great difficulty, he found a five-headed tiger demon, and he was immediately frightened.

He hastily sacrificed the thunderbolt, only to seriously injure it, and then it was torn to pieces by the furious demon beast.

As for why the Burning Sky Valley Jin Dan Monk knew that there was a golden stone in it, it was because he accidentally discovered it when he entered this secret realm a hundred years ago.

But at that time, what he found was only a small piece of nearly a thousand catties, barely enough for him. It's not at all like the appearance of so many golden Xuanshi this time, I think it was after a hundred years of slow changes, coupled with the reason for the demon beast, that this change will occur.

A hundred years ago, this mine cave was guarding a four-headed tiger demon, and at that time, the Jindan monk who was only cultivating in the Qi refining period could only retreat. Then this secret realm was inexplicably closed, and this wait is a hundred years.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for demon beasts to be promoted, especially for demon beasts above the foundation building period, it may be difficult to advance to a level for hundreds or thousands of years. Therefore, Brother Jindan did not expect that the four-headed tiger demon would be promoted to a fifth-level demon beast.

In his opinion, a thunderbolt was enough to deal with a fourth-level demon beast. Unexpectedly, the four-headed tiger demon would absorb the Qi of Jin Xuan due to fate, so it mutated, and then broke through the bottleneck and was promoted.

That's why Zhang Yifan was cheaper and let him pick up a leak.

......

With the blessing of the state of the flying shadow, Zhang Yifan escaped along the road, and then with a loud bang, the space was buried.

At the end of the road is a small valley surrounded by mountains, and the environment is unusually beautiful, like a fairyland.

There are also a lot of cherished spirit grass and spirit flowers here, which are basically elixirs for refining qi refining period elixirs, and Zhang Yifan accepted them all unceremoniously.

Then Zhang Yifan sorted out his harvest in the secret realm this time.

First of all, my biggest gain this time is probably that piece of golden stone, I didn't weigh it in a hurry before, but now it seems that there are almost more than 50,000 catties, worth 500,000 spirit stones, which is undoubtedly a huge wealth.

Zhang Yifan felt that these golden stones could not be exposed, otherwise he would not be able to resist any Jindan period monk who came to the door.

Fortunately, this time, the sect only used the medicine beast to test whether each disciple's storage bag would hide several elixirs from the foundation building period, such as the purple stamen spirit grass, and would not check the disciple's storage bag.

Because every monk has his own secrets, the sect doesn't want to chill these monks who are desperately working in the secret realm unless necessary.

The second is the hundreds of Xuanyue fruits, I believe that it is enough for Xiaobai to eat for a long time, and subtly, the bloodline will be purified more and more pure.

Moreover, there were nearly sixty purple stamen spirit grasses, which could almost exchange him for six Tsukidans.

Finally, there were two storage bags of demon beast materials, two storage bags of gold and stone mines, as well as a number of scattered elixirs from the Qi refining period, and some magic tricks, elixirs, magic weapons, and talismans obtained from the monk of the Spirit Exorcism Valley.

The harvest of this secret journey greatly exceeded Zhang Yifan's expectations. This harvest is worth nearly 500,000 spirit stones, which is much richer than the average Jindan period, and it is estimated that no one will believe it.

Of course, this is also because Jindan stage monks need to spend huge resources to improve their cultivation and strength, so they generally can't save much money.

At this time, Zhang Yifan felt that his storage space was very insufficient, and it was a little inconvenient. He made up his mind that he had to find a way to get his hands on the sect's five-zhang square storage bag.

It would be nice if he could put things in his mysterious space, he could put anything in such a large mysterious space, but Zhang Yifan had tried many times before.

Zhang Yifan sighed, he knew that he was whimsical, the function of the Demon Suppression was already very against the sky, if he could really store things, it would be a small world, this was a treasure he had never heard of.

Zhang Yifan sorted everything and put it in the storage bag. He specially put the elixir needed by the sect in a separate storage bag, which was convenient to take out when the time came. At the same time, it also prevents other monks with powerful divine sense from peeping into the contents of his storage bag, and if the golden stone is exposed, I am afraid that he will be killed immediately.

After doing all this, Zhang Yifan began to stimulate the traction beads.

......

When Zhang Yifan came out of the secret realm, there were still more than two hours before the secret realm was closed.

At this time, the disciples of each sect have almost returned, basically every sect will have disciples who have not returned, among them, the number of people who have not returned in the Spirit Exorcism Valley and the Burning Sky Valley is the largest, and there are four people who have not returned.

This made the stewards of the two sects a little unbearable, and kept asking about the situation in the disciples of the sect.

Except for the disciple who had already died in the Land of Purple Rui Spirit Grass in Burning Sky Valley, the other three people, Shi Bei'er, Li Jingtian, and another disciple of the thirteenth layer of Qi refining, had not yet appeared.

It was about Xuanjinshi, and Zhang Yifan did not dare to reveal the news that Li Jingtian was dead.

At the last moment, when the door of the secret realm was about to close, a thin figure rushed out of the door, with a weak breath and a wounded appearance, it was Shi Bei'er.

This made the three stewards of the Burning Sky Valley breathe a sigh of relief. And the steward of the Exorcism Valley had an even more unsightly face.

"Okay, if the disciples who enter the secret realm hand over the elixir of the foundation building period in turn, the elixir you hand over will be recorded, and then the sect will have a corresponding reward. After handing over the elixir, it is necessary to undergo a special inspection of the medicine beast. Hiding in private will be severely punished, and I hope that all disciples will act prudently. Steward Fan said with a serious expression.

Everyone handed over the elixir, and Zhang Yifan handed it over without reservation. When they saw that this disciple of the tenth level of Qi refining handed over the second most elixir, the three stewards couldn't help but look at each other differently, and sighed again and again that Master Meridian had picked up the treasure.

Naturally, there was nothing abnormal about the Smelling Medicine Beast, and the steward of Burning Sky Valley did not make any next moves, which made Zhang Yifan breathe a sigh of relief.

This time, the True Pole Gate harvested the most elixirs, followed by the Burning Sky Valley, the Fire Sect, and the Spirit Exorcism Valley ranked last. This also reflects the current predicament of the Exorcism Valley from one side.

At present, the strength of the Burning Sky Valley is actually almost the same as that of the six major sects, and it has a close relationship with the Lihuo Sect, so it has been working hard to squeeze the status of the sect in the Chu State.

And the strength of the Exorcism Valley has been declining in recent years, so there has always been a voice to let the Burning Sky Valley replace the Exorcism Valley, which makes the relationship between the two sects a little delicate, which is also one of the reasons why the two monks of the Exorcism Valley attacked Zhang Yifan without any scruples.

These are all things that the upper echelons of the sect are concerned about, and Zhang Yifan naturally knows nothing about it.

After following the sect steward back, Zhang Yifan returned to his previous state, practicing while learning the way of refining, and his life was full and busy.

Soon the reward of the sect came down. When he knew that Zhang Yifan wanted to exchange for six Zhuji Dan, the steward of the sect in charge of this matter was also surprised. Why does a monk need so many Tsukidans, even if the qualifications are not good, three in a row is enough. When the time comes, you can't build a foundation, and no matter how much you take, the chances of taking more Tsukidan are slim, so why waste Tsukidan, you must know that Tsukidan is very precious.

The steward persuaded Zhang Yifan to exchange for something else of the same value, but Zhang Yifan insisted on only exchanging it for Zhujidan.

Although Zhang Yifan's current identity is somewhat special, he is a closed disciple of Master Zimeridian, but the sect has a rule that a monk can only exchange for three Zhuji Dan from the sect at most, and if he wants more, he can only find his own way, which is also to let other disciples also have the opportunity to build a foundation, so in the end, Zhang Yifan only got three Zhuji Dan.

Although this made him a little regretful, but in this way, Zhang Yifan also had six Tsukidan, and he no longer had to worry about Tsukidan, which made his hanging heart settle.

After that, Zhang Yifan, with the help of his master, got his wish and bought two five-zhang square storage bags from the sect, and spent two thousand lower grade spirit stones, which allowed him to have more space for refining materials.

Zhang Yifan exchanged the gold and stone mines he had collected before with the sect for a batch of various materials for refining low-grade magic weapons, and he had now begun to try to refine some low-grade magic weapons.

......

A year and a half has passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Yifan has been a disciple of the valley for nearly three years.

After this period of hard practice, Zhang Yifan has already started refining weapons and achieved initial results, and he himself is a little surprised by the progress he has made.

Now Zhang Yifan began to have his own understanding of the way of refining, and gradually incorporated some of his own ideas and methods in the process of refining. At present, he can refine some high-grade low-grade magic weapons, and the success rate can reach about eight layers, while refining medium-grade magic weapons can reach about three layers, which is very good.

In addition, at the end of last year, Zhang Yifan participated in the triennial refining competition of the Fire Sect with his master.

The Lihuo Sect started with the way of refining, so the refining competition was a grand event of the Lihuo Sect, and all refiners of the Chu State were invited to participate, regardless of the sect, and the rewards were also very rich.

Zhang Yifan participated in the primary refining competition. In the end, after a brutal duel, he won the top ten in the primary refining weapon competition in one fell swoop.

This is a very good result, you must know that the number of qi refiners who participated in the primary refining competition has reached nearly a thousand, and almost half of the refiners of the Chu country have come.

At the same time, Zhang Yifan also got to know a lot of fellow refiners, learned and saw a lot of strange and dazzling refining techniques, and benefited a lot.

He plans to participate in the Intermediate Refining Competition in the next three years, and the Advanced Refining Competition in the next three years. One step in three years, each time I make some progress.

If any refiner knew about his thoughts, his jaw would definitely drop, this idea was crazy. Generally, it takes at least five to ten years for a junior refiner to be promoted to an intermediate refiner, while it takes more than ten years for intermediate to high-level talent, and it may never reach it if the talent is poor.

Xu Ziwu was very satisfied with Zhang Yifan's progress, and at the same time, he also unreservedly handed over to him the advanced methods and know-how of the Heavenly Refining Weapon, as well as his own experience and lessons on how to use the talent of the Fire Refining Body.

Xu Ziwu's actions made Zhang Yifan very moved, and he secretly made up his mind to repay his master in the future, and at the same time work harder to learn the way of refining.

At the beginning of 9839 of the Yuan calendar, Zhang Yifan officially became a junior refiner of Tiangong.

"Xiao Fan, you have made great progress and promotion in the past two years, and now you have officially become a Heavenly Junior Refiner, which is much faster than when you were a teacher. Xu Ziwu still had silver hair, but his face was red, obviously a little happy.

"Thank you, Master, this is also the result of your painstaking cultivation, and I am grateful to you and remember it in my heart. Zhang Yifan bowed gratefully.

"Okay, the teacher called you this time because I asked you to do something. Xu Ziwu pondered for a moment and said.

"But the master said that it was okay, and the disciples should follow the teachings. ”

"That's right. Every good alchemist needs to come out with their own unique style, and you are no exception. At the same time, it is also to exercise your refining level, and the teacher wants you to go to a fang market in Huzhou to open a refining shop, refine magic weapons for other monks, and at the same time refine magic weapons yourself and sell them for at least five years. Until you can refine a top-level magic weapon. Xu Ziwu said slowly.

"Yes, Master. I don't know where that fang city is, and when the disciple will set off. Zhang Yifan has no objection, on the contrary, he has some expectations, he now wants to avoid people because of one thing.

"Well, that Fang City is located on Jiangyue Island, Huzhou, and is called Jiangyue Island Fang City. You should go in the near future, there is a ready-made ground fire in the shop there. However, before leaving, I want to tell you the conditions for opening a store. Xu Ziwu said to Zhang Yifan with a smile, looking a little mysterious.

"Condition?, Master, let's go. Zhang Yifan didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Master's gourd, and asked directly.

"To rent the shop of the sect, you need to pay a thousand lower grade spirit stones per year, and the sect will provide you with materials for refining magic weapons, but you need to pay the profit after deducting the cost of materials every year, which gradually increases, the first year is two thousand lower grade spirit stones, the second year is four thousand, and the last year is ten thousand. If you can't pay it, it means that you fail the assessment, and there will be a corresponding punishment. Haha, good boy, isn't it challenging?" Xu Ziwu smiled proudly, liking to see Zhang Yifan's bitter face.

"The apprentice must complete the assessment and not disappoint the master. Zhang Yifan replied seriously. didn't see the bitter gourd face, which made Xu Ziwu feel a little disappointed in his heart.

"Well, that's good. He is worthy of being the successor of my heavenly refining weapon. In addition, there is nothing to do, try not to go back to the sect, and run the shop over there with peace of mind. Every month, I will send someone to bring you the materials you need, and the rewards of the sect will also be brought to you. It will also monitor the completion of your tasks. In addition, you have to choose your own name for your shop, you are not allowed to use the name of the Meridian Workshop, and you can't reveal your identity, everything needs to be done on your own, understand?"

"Yes, Master, the apprentice knows. ”
