Chapter 22: Darksteel

"Uncle Chen, can the disciple ask a question?"

Han Fei's question interrupted Master Chen's thoughts, and his attention turned to Han Fei again.

"You can ask and take a look!" At this time, Master Chen stroked his beard and looked at Han Fei with interest.

"Disciple wants to ask, how can we break through the bottleneck of these four layers?"

"Hehe, I knew you would ask this question, even if you are a pseudo-spirit root person, you will have a chance to break through naturally when you encounter the bottleneck of the fourth layer, no matter how bad you are with the assistance of the primary elixir, you can break through smoothly, but unfortunately your Void Spirit Root, I am afraid that the elixir may not be effective. ”

"So, do I want to stay in the third layer of Qi refining forever?"

"Although it is extremely difficult, it is not completely without a chance, in the old man's opinion, this matter cannot be rushed, if you can temper your mana for a few more years, and then assist in the use of pills, maybe you can have a chance to break through. ”

Hearing Master Chen's words, Han Fei couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, and was about to continue to ask about this method of tempering, but he didn't expect that Master Chen stretched out his hand and gave him a jade slip, and then said: "Within this jade slip is the details of your task, just go to the sixth room of the T-shape." ”

Unexpectedly, this Uncle Chen suddenly issued an eviction order, although Han Fei was a little unwilling in his heart, he didn't dare to disobey the other party's wishes, so he could only obediently withdraw from the room.

When Han Fei walked out of the room, a disciple who was about the same age as himself greeted him, judging from the aura emanating from the other party's body, this person was also a third-level Qi refining cultivator, and he was slightly shorter than himself.

It looks like his eyebrows are clear, but his face is still full of childishness.

"This senior brother, please come with me, and the master asked me to take you to T-shaped room six. ”

It was the first time someone called himself senior brother, which made Han Fei feel a little uncomfortable, and he didn't know how to reply to the other party for a while, and then said with a slight smile on his face: "It's hard work!"

Han Fei followed the young man all the way, but he was secretly thinking in his heart.

This young man turned out to be a disciple of Uncle Chen, and he could worship a monk who was successful in the late stage of foundation building as a teacher, presumably this person's qualifications are extraordinary, and now this person's cultivation is almost the same as his own, I am afraid that it will not be long before his cultivation will be thrown away.

Thinking of this, Han Fei couldn't help but feel in his heart, his poor qualifications were really a headache.

Unconsciously, T-shaped room No. 6 appeared in front of Han Fei's eyes, and the young man gave Han Fei a slight salute and then left on his own, so that Han Fei's plan to inquire about the situation again fell through.

At this time, Han Fei realized that this place had already gone out of the scope of the Fire Spirit Courtyard, and it turned out to be a long row of stone chambers, built next to the city wall, and after taking a general look at the surrounding environment, Han Fei pushed open the stone door and walked in.

The space of the stone chamber is not large, only two or three zhang square, and there is a stone platform two feet high and three feet square in the center, and on the stone platform stands this red three-legged copper tripod, which is one head higher than himself.

On the right, there is a small stone table, a small round stone bench is placed on all sides, and a stone bed is placed in the innermost part of the stone room.

On the stone wall on the left side, there is a three-foot square window, and there is a stone case on each side of the window, and there are more than a dozen storage bags on both stone tables.

After looking at it, Han Fei sat on the stone bench and took out the jade slip to examine it carefully, and after a long time, Han Fei slowly put down the jade slip and tightened it into his storage bag.

Ever since he had this medium-grade storage bag, Han Fei had been very careful to tie it around his waist to hide it under the wide Dao robe.

As expected, the task this time was to refine the dark iron.

Xuantie, the most common and common refining material in the immortal cultivation world, is the most important material for refining low-grade magic weapons, and at the same time, whether it is the refining of medium-grade or high-grade magic weapons, it also needs a lot of Xuaniron to assist.

And the dark iron is officially refined from the dark iron ore, and the general dark iron ore can only refine one-tenth of the black iron, so refining the dark iron is not an easy task.

A larger sect like Jiang Yunzong had dozens of dark iron veins alone, and Han Fei had seen several tasks to go to the veins to mine in the Service Hall before, and the remuneration was relatively objective.

It's just that these veins are far away from the sect, so there is no choice.

The method of refining the dark iron is also described in detail on the jade slip, and the process is not much and not complicated, just put the dark iron ore into the copper tripod, and then heat it with spiritual fire until it is completely melted, and then remove its impurities.

These may seem simple, but when removing impurities, it is very important to control the heat, and it is difficult to master these techniques thoroughly without repeated refining, so the refining speed is extremely slow, and the quality of the refined dark iron is not too high.

The storage bags on the two stone tables were filled with dark iron ore.

And Han Fei's task this year was to refine three thousand catties of Xuan Iron, because Han Fei was doing the refining task for the first time, and with only the cultivation of the third layer of qi refining, this task volume was already the lowest requirement.

According to the normal situation, the first three months need to refine 100 catties per month, and then the task volume of 300 catties per month is required.

After familiarizing himself with the refining process a few more times, Han Fei began to try his first refining, and with a wave of his hand, he ingested a storage bag containing the Darkite into his hand.

Since it was the first refining, Han Feizhi released thirty catties of Xuaniron ore into the copper tripod.

Immediately, Han Feipan sat three feet away from the copper tripod, and after making a few handprints with both hands, a fire snake the thickness of an arm flew out of Han Fei's hand and began to scorch the bottom of the copper tripod.

As Han Fei continued to urge the fire snake, the temperature of the copper tripod continued to rise, and the temperature in the entire stone room also soared a lot, so that Han Fei's face turned red, and the beads of sweat had evaporated before they could drip from his face, leaving only white stains.

Half an hour later, Han Fei's mana had been exhausted, but a considerable part of the dark iron ore in the copper tripod had not been completely melted, and Han Fei could only grit his teeth and persevere.

But after a while, Han Fei's mana was completely exhausted, and the fire snake disappeared immediately, and the dark iron ore in the copper tripod still hadn't completely melted.

This first attempt was considered a failure, and as the temperature of the copper tripod gradually decreased, Han Fei's face changed from the original flush to pale, with a tired look.

Seeing this, Han Fei could only reluctantly come to the stone bed and begin to cultivate and recover.

After several hours of cultivation and recovery, Han Fei's mana returned to its peak state again, and after a little bit of gathering the following thoughts, Han Fei began to continue trying, but this time it ended in failure, and he could only recover his mana again.

After repeated attempts like this, it was not until five days later that Han Fei finally succeeded in refining the first furnace of Xuaniron.
