Small Jiuzhou Zhongzhou, Cangzhou.

The mysterious Gray Mist Valley, the deeper it goes into the valley, the clearer its layers of valley shadows become, and the number of layers is more and more thousand, and it is difficult to count. On each layer of valley walls, there is a little red light, as if it has been deliberately embellished. In the center of the countless cascading valley walls, there was a tower of light, shimmering with a purple-red light. The light of this spiritual power flow is condensed but not gathered, scattered but not chaotic, and endless.

Yue Chen and the others kept walking towards the Bright Tower. As they walked, everyone found that the distance between their position and the Tower of Light was always the same, and it was always out of reach.

At the same time, after entering the Gray Mist Valley, the way he came disappeared, and he couldn't even tell the time of day. It was as if they had entered a new dimension, a space that belonged only to the gray mist.

Although Yue Chen wanted to move forward with the sword, he was followed by a lowly fellow disciple, so this trip was naturally impassable. A fear began to creep in. Everyone tightly surrounded Yue Chen, and the timid ones didn't even dare to come out, and their eyes only stared at Yue Chen's ruyi bag.

I don't know how long it took, Tu Lei shouted: "Iron Jade Bone!"

Tu Lei looked at a thread-shaped wooden stick in his hand and said seriously: "It's strange, how can there be such a thing in this ghost place?"

Iron jade bone is a kind of refining spiritual material, which can not only be directly used to refine spiritual weapons, but also is one of the best spiritual materials for refining furnace fire, mainly produced in the stone mountains with abundant spiritual power. Its grade positioning is uncertain, and the price is usually equivalent to that of second-grade spiritual materials. For a large sect like the Chengming Sect, this item is indeed not very scarce, because there are better spiritual materials that can replace it.

Suddenly, each of them had a similar wooden stick in their hands.

Yue Chen said: "The strangeness of this valley has exceeded my imagination. Don't walk any further, rest on the spot. In addition, everyone picked up some iron jade bones and built a large bonfire. ”

Tu Lei responded, and after a short while, he led people to collect a large number of iron and jade bones. After tossing with Tian Chang and Lao Qianxing for a while, I just couldn't click it. So, the three of them were a little anxious, which made the same door even more afraid.

"These iron jade bones don't seem to be the same as those in the spiritual material record. Yue Chen pondered, "Senior Brother Tu, has Elder Haohe mentioned any other situations related to the Iron Jade Bone?"

"No! At the beginning, when Shizun was scolding me, he mentioned the iron jade bone. Besides, the sect is really disdainful of this kind of spiritual material. I only went to check it out once in a while, and I didn't pay much attention to it. But it is indeed puzzling that there can be iron and jade bones in this kind of place. ”

Yue Chen nodded after hearing this, and took out a pot of fire from the Qiankun bag when everyone was not paying attention. This pot of flames, the flame essence, the spiritual power flows, and there is a streamer bead next to it. This was the flame that Yue Chen brought out from the mysterious ice cave. After Yue Chen's comprehension and study, he found the secret of nourishing the fire with colored beads. Nowadays, this flame has become ten times larger, and Yue Chen often uses it for alchemy.

Right now, the situation is critical, and Yue Chen has no choice but to show one of his hole cards again.

Yue Chen looked at the one-person-tall pile of iron and jade bones, and carefully placed the brazier at the lowest place. Suddenly, the crisp sound of firewood sounded. The first iron jade bone was quickly ignited, followed by the second, and then the third. With the fire, everyone's sadness faded invisibly.

Tu Lei stared straight at the flame, as if thinking about something. After a long time, he took out a Taiji-shaped brazier from the Ruyi bag, took out a few black things, and slowly came to the pot of flames.

After a short pause, he took out one of the pieces and began to bake, and the green smoke emitted from his palm, gradually merging with the black thing.

Yue Chen, Tian Chang, and Lao Qianxing naturally knew that what Tu Lei was in his palm was the secret magic power he had cultivated.

"It is worthy of being a personal disciple, and even the most precious black jade essence sulfur in the refining vessel. ”

"And that brazier, tsk......tt!"

Tu Lei shook his head and said, "The disciple has a fart. Senior Brother Yue is not a personal disciple, but he actually has Xuan Binghuo. Listening to my master, even in the current Great Nine Continents, I am afraid that there is no legendary Xuanbing Divine Fire. ”

"Oh! What else did Elder Haohe say?"

"Master also listened to what Uncle Shi said. It seems that the Xuanbing Divine Fire has something to do with the legendary stone immortal, but I don't know the specifics. Anyway, only legends remain. But strangely, how do you have this treasure?"

"You can't say what you get by chance, however, once this black jade essence sulfur of yours is ignited, and there is a Xuan Cauldron to store it, at least it is a rare refining weapon divine fire in the world!"

"Black jade essence sulfur can absorb at most one ten-thousandth of the condensed Xuanbing Divine Fire Breath. Fortunately, with this treasure, maybe my refining path has a chance to catch up with the three junior disciples. ”

As he spoke, a trace of spark had already appeared on the black jade sulfur. Tu Lei said, "The spark of the stars can set the prairie on fire", and carefully placed the black jade essence sulfur in his palm in the center of the Xuanhue brazier, and surrounded it tightly with eight pieces of the same black jade essence sulfur. After a while, meditating on the method, a red flame spiritual breath poured into the Xuan Brazier, and the spark began to brighten.

The bonfires grew brighter and brighter, but the light they saw was still limited. Yue Chen was afraid of an accident, so he had to order his fellow men to guard by the fire and go to pick up the iron and jade bones himself. Gradually, it was discovered that these iron jade bones seemed to have grown here, and they seemed to have been moved here. Because of the sheer number, it's really staggering. Even if it is a second-grade spiritual material, such a scale is a lot of income.

Yue Chen picked up a full low-level Ruyi bag before returning. The burning of the iron and jade bones was already slow, and although all the ones that everyone had just picked up were burned, it would take at least nine days for each one to really be burned. Yue Chen still felt that the fire was too small, so he directly built up all the iron and jade bones in the Ruyi bag, and still burned it.

Then, a small volcano appeared in the gray fog valley. Everyone was so close to the fire that they didn't feel the heat at all. I always feel like the fire is in the sky, but the place I can see is still gray.

This situation made everyone cry and laugh. Yue Chen had no choice but to signal everyone to sit quietly and not think nonsense.

About three hours later, a bright flame was born in Tu Lei's Xuan Cafe Brazier, soaring and moving.

"If there is nothing to do, I will use this iron jade bone to refine my refining Dao. ”

Tu Lei is also a big-hearted person, and he doesn't care at all in the face of difficulties. At this moment, I actually had the idea of refining weapons.

In this gray fog valley where there is no day or night, after staying for a long time, everyone has faded a little worry. Perhaps this is the reason for the peculiar psychology that practitioners possess. Those who practice emphasize the pursuit of their own great opportunities. Great chances are always accompanied by uncertain dangers of life and death, which has long been the consensus of monks. To be able to withstand the opportunity, you need to be able to accept the disaster of life and death, which is also the mentality that you must have as a monk. Some people who are only interested in profit naturally have more variables.

In the midst of everyone's small talk, someone occasionally mentioned the path of cultivation and asked Yue Chen to mention it. Yue Chen just smiled faintly, took out a booklet, and asked everyone to pass it on and read it.

"This is a gift from Elder Haojing, and he has allowed me to make my own decisions. After you read it today, don't talk about it to the outside world. The Taoist magic power inside, you can comprehend as much as you want, don't force it. If you have any questions about it, you can ask me. But I declare that what I have learned is also very limited. ”

Tu Lei on the side was busy refining his weapons, and he was afraid that others would steal the school and turn his back on everyone. With his identity, he naturally doesn't care. Tian and Lao didn't care either, and went to the side to cultivate alone. The other sixty-nine people watched very seriously. Due to the small amount of content in the book, the time for everyone to circulate it is only one hour.

After they pondered for a while, they said almost at the same time: "Four types of supernatural powers, bullshit!"

"Oh!" Yue Chen was secretly shocked, and said in his heart: "Why can they only see the four forms? Could it be that I can cultivate into the Seven Evil Void Illusion Powers, in addition to the things in this booklet, there are other reasons?"

Continuing to listen to the sixty-nine people talking, Yue Chen suddenly had an epiphany: "Void and illusion, it turns out that what these junior disciples see is - real!"

After a long silence, Yue Chen also joined the discussion. In terms of insights on the way of cultivation, in front of these people, Yue Chen is naturally the one who has the most comprehension, and the insights he says are indeed superhuman. Gradually, everyone fell into silence and listened silently, only listening to Yue Chen's slow words.

Because I was too familiar with the content of the booklet, I gradually understood the true meaning of the Seven Evil Illusions. Therefore, Yue Chen started from the bits and pieces of cultivation, from the ever-changing celestial phenomena to the geographical reserves, and there were human accumulations. All-encompassing and varied. At least in his realm, he knows everything.

The Taoist supernatural powers in the booklet do not explicitly state a certain supernatural power, but are just extremely abstract words. A thousand people have a thousand ways to comprehend these methods, and the results are also ever-changing, and it is difficult to be consistent. But at this moment, Yue Chen is speaking alone, so it can only be one, and the sixty-nine people who listen to it may have sixty-nine kinds of their own understanding.

In the end, Yue Chen casually named these four styles as Wind Destroying Yue, Flowing Frost Flying Rainbow, Ice Front Breaking the Sky, and Divine Thunder Nine Spirits, each of which has no grade. The fundamental reason is that Yue Chen does not have that kind of strength, and even these four names are easy to use. Unlike the seven forms that I practiced, they are all names that are realized from actual evolution.

In this Gray Mist Valley, where life and death were uncertain, the disciples of the Chengming Sect temporarily forgot about the danger and entered another realm. Sixty-nine people like Yan Hui and others did not have many opportunities to cultivate together. If they hadn't met a Yue Chen from the same background as them, they wouldn't have gotten the opportunity to experience this time. At the same time, Yue Chen unreservedly taught everyone the four magical powers, and everyone was afraid that they would miss a word.

As he spoke, Yue Chen saw that everyone had entered their own contemplative realm. He no longer spoke, but quietly got up, picked up three ruyi bags of iron and jade bones, and raised the "volcano" higher.

In this world of gray mist, the burning speed of the iron jade bone has become the only thing to keep time. Yue Chen looked at a burning iron jade bone in front of him, thinking that seven hours should have passed, if it was correct, it would probably be dawn.

Tu Lei concentrated on refining his weapon. Lao Qianxing looked sad and stared at the fire in a daze. Tian Chang occasionally drank a few sips of wine, lying lazily by the fire, looking bored. The other sixty-nine continued to fall into deep thought, as if what they had just heard would not be able to fully digest and absorb for a while.

The way of refining weapons has always been listed as the two major ways on the way of cultivating the true cultivation along the way with the way of alchemy. Among many major sects, the status of the Qitang is even higher than that of the Dantang. Needless to say, for monks, the elixir is important, but the demand for spiritual weapons is even better.

Tu Lei used countless iron and jade bones to refine one simple and low-level wooden spirit sword after another. One thread-like iron and jade bone after another, he cut it into a very delicate wooden sword. The spirit gathering ring in the refining vessel is naturally completed with special refining tools, and the baking and calcination ring is done with the black jade essence sulfur fire in the Xuancao brazier. These are probably the two processes that others can see.

Yue Chen walked to Tu Lei's side and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Tu, give each of the sixty-nine people a wooden sword to practice." ”

Tu Lei smiled, shook his head and said, "Senior brother, you have also seen that I have thrown all the first-order wooden swords that I have refined into the fire. ”

"I can help you with this cutting!" As he spoke, Yue Chen slowly squatted down and said, "I remember, you are the first disciple of Elder Haohe, and you were once a genius who was about to emerge. Why haven't you seen each other for two years, but you have fallen behind the three junior brothers? Could it be that it has something to do with that incident?"

"The changes in my cultivation are one of the reasons, but they are not the main cause. Tu Lei sighed and said, "The main reason is that the refining spirit materials are not enough, and I can't get more guidance from my master." Although the master will also give me some spiritual materials, it is limited after all. Like my three junior brothers, you have also seen that they defected to the famous senior brothers early. With the help of those senior brothers, the source of spiritual materials is not comparable to me. Fortunately, God is pitiful, Senior Brother Yue, you helped me, so that I am still ahead of the three of them in Taoism, but the refining weapon alone cannot be compared. You see, this wooden sword has failed to be refined again, and this is only within the scope of a first-grade spirit sword. ”

"A senior told me that the way of alchemy is first in refining the heart, and the second is in alchemy. Senior brother, you just concentrate on refining weapons, and I will give you a hand to cut the wooden sword. ”

Tu Lei glanced at Yue Chen and said, "You can't secretly learn my refining method!"

"If your refining method is only in your heart, who can steal it? Could it be that someone will steal your heart?

Therefore, Yue Chen concentrated on sharpening the wooden sword, and Tu Lei concentrated on refining, and the success rate increased greatly. One wooden sword after another was refined, and the style was extremely delicate and detailed. A spirit sword refined from spiritual materials like iron and jade bones, if it can nourish the spirit gathering spirit well, it can be upgraded to a third-grade spirit sword. The three-grade spirit sword can be used to perform the sword technique to fly in the sky, but there is a limit in distance.

And so, a long time passed. Yan Hui and the others seemed to have woken up from their sleep, rubbed their eyes one by one, got up and twisted their waists for a while. Looking at a bunch of spirit swords, he suddenly became interested, and picked up one by one unceremoniously and danced with his hands.

"Senior brother, this seems to be the three hundred and sixty spirit sword?"

"That's right! Senior Brother is fully proficient in refining the Five-Rank Spirit Sword! From now on, Senior Brother Tu can be regarded as an entry-level refiner. If there is a large supply of spiritual materials in time, it will be natural to break through again. ”

Tu Lei put away his treasure and the remaining wooden spirit sword, glared at Yue Chen, and said loudly: "Senior brother, you must have received guidance from a master. Otherwise, how can you pass on your disciples more than your own disciples! I will let you see through this at a glance!"

Tian Chang scolded and muttered, "It's been nine days, why hasn't this demon moved at all?"

Yue Chen smiled and said, "It has been watching us for a long time! If it hadn't been for watching Senior Brother Tu concentrate on refining weapons, I would have told you a long time ago! If you don't believe it, you should look in the opposite direction of the Bright Tower!"
