The words say:

The sword and the chicken are still crying in the moon, and people are not hateful and light-hearted. Only the hard will will be cultivated early, but the kung fu will be practiced for a long time.

The sky is big, and the road is muddy. The great river has never stopped. When the wind and waves are calm, it should give way, and the sea and sky are gradually feasible. - "Partridge Days"

It is said that Lei Ren said to the people of Mingzong that there was something to announce, and everyone didn't know what it was, so they all looked at Lei Ren and wanted to hear what he had to say.

I only heard Lei Ren say: "Before, under Nanming Yan Mountain, I got the news that the empire wants to pull my Mingzong to participate in their refining department to conduct space magic weapon research, and to refine a kind of immortal mansion, which is said to be able to hold all things, including people in it, and take them with you at any time!"

Everyone was talking about it, and some said, I have never heard of any movement in the area of space magic weapon refining? Why have we just refined the space magic weapon, and what kind of immortal mansion is the empire going to study?

Some people also say, what can the immortal mansion do? Isn't it just a super-large storage ring?

Some people also said that it would be nice if we could refine a space magic weapon like the bronze mirror of the Thirteen Elders!

——Just when everyone was talking, Lei Ren made a final decision: "Our highest goal is to refine a space magic weapon like Elder Heart Mirror's bronze mirror! Elder Heart Mirror, Elder Tang, you two, in this regard, take overall responsibility!"

Both the Master of the Heart Mirror and Tang Rong said, "Yes!"

Lei Ren said again: "Elder Tang, on the imperial side, the Great Array Master of Mo Yi personally asked you and the Master of Ling Jun Hall to participate, and our Hall of Instruments will be handed over to the Heart Mirror for the time being, you and Ling Jun have arrived in the Imperial Capital Shenjing, to find out, how could the empire suddenly go against the norm and invite us to participate in their research?"

Tang Rong was about to express something, when he suddenly heard Lei Ren say to him with the method of divine sense transmission: "Old Tang, there is one more thing, when you arrive at the imperial capital Shenjing, you have to observe Ling Jun carefully!

Tang Rong was naturally surprised in his heart, and thought in his heart: At the beginning, the sect master, you were happy to see him worship Mo Yi as a teacher-let Ling Jun learn a knowledge of the formation from Mo Yi to strengthen the strength of our Ming Sect, could it be that because of this relationship between Ling Jun and Mo Yi, he was co-opted by the empire?

Tang Rong was silent. Lei Ren ordered: "Tang Hall Master, you take the first step and return to Azure City, and you and Ling Jun will immediately rush to the Imperial Capital Shenjing with the Mo Yi Great Array Master—everyone should go back to the main altar with me." ”

When the people of Mingzong returned to the main altar, they went to do their own things.

Tang Rong and Ling Jun had already gone to the imperial capital Shenjing first, and the others also had their own whereabouts, not to mention it here, only to say that Li Shijian returned to Mingjing City, the main city of the six cities in the northeast, with the nine elders, and came to the city lord's mansion, and the nine elders gathered their subordinates to inquire about the recent situation in the six cities in the northeast.

At that time, all the important people in Mingjing City arrived first, and when they saw the Nine Elders, they all greeted and said, "Elder Guan is good!"

The Ninth Elder smiled and said to everyone, "Everyone, this is Elder Ben's newly accepted disciple Li Shijian!"

After that, the Ninth Elder said to Li Shijian again: "Shijian, this is the deputy city supervisor of my Ming Jing City, Dafu, this one is ......."

Li Shijian followed the introduction of the Nine Elders and greeted everyone one by one.

Soon, the heads and brains of the six cities in the Northeast had all arrived, and the Nine Elders asked the City Lord of Shaofeng City, "Ouyang City Lord, that day you entered the bottom of the North Stygian Sea with Elder Si to look for cold jade, was there anything new along the way?"

Ouyang Dongfang heard this, and groaned in his heart: If I tell the truth, and I have violated the order issued by the Second Elder not to leak a word, if I don't say it, I can't help the Ninth Elder, and he is my top boss, what should I say?

Ouyang Dongfang's heart tossed and turned, and he replied: "Back to the elder's words, there is nothing new along the way, but the thief monk also went to the bottom of the sea, probably to find Hanyu, right?"

When the Ninth Elder heard this, he couldn't help but ask again, "That thief monk is also going to look for Hanyu, what is he looking for Hanyu for?"

Ouyang Dongfang shook his head and said he didn't know.

The Ninth Elder asked this, and that's it, and then asked Ming Zijun, the lord of Nanfeng City: "Ming City Lord, how many people did you Nanfeng City send to accompany Elder Si at that time?"

It turned out that what the Nine Elders asked about was the recent affairs of the six cities under his jurisdiction. At this time, Dafu, the deputy city supervisor of Ming Jingcheng, had already delivered the recent "Six Cities Daily Record" over.

The Ninth Elder was a little dissatisfied in his heart: Why did you only pay it now? Is there any reason?

Wang, the chairman of Wanghai City, said: "Elder, a few days ago, that dervishes once appeared in this city and fought with the imperial spies, but then he didn't know where to go, and at night, he sang all the way from Wanghai City to Nanfeng City. ”

When Ouyang Dongfang heard this, he continued: "I'm afraid that the thief monk is going to look for Hanyu, right?"

When the Ninth Elder heard this, he had his own insight in his heart, and he waved his hand at that time and said, "Okay, there aren't many things I want to ask, you all go back!

So they saluted, took their leave, and departed. The Ninth Elder smiled at Li Shijian and said, "Shijian, although you have found that you have been poisoned by the blood Gu love seed of the Snowy Demon Demon, fortunately, you still have the antidote in hand, within three years, you have to step up your cultivation! Here in my six northeastern cities, you are safe, and no one dares to come to you for trouble." ”

Li Shijian said "yes" and asked, "Master, why do I have to go to that Ancient Realm Realm, why do I have to learn the way of refining when I go there?"

The Nine Elders smiled and said, "To go to the Ancient Domain Realm, all sects and factions, including the Imperial Royal Family, will send people there. As for why you are determined, because you have dragon qi in your body, it is expected that you will be able to quickly improve your realm cultivation and reach the sixth order of the spiritual path, and you will be more likely to complete the task if you go.

Only those above the sixth level of the spiritual path are eligible to pass, and they must also check whether the bone age is qualified or not.

As for why the people sent there had to learn the way of refining, because when they got there, they had to stay for three years, and the Dao weapon magic weapon was consumed very much, and if the Dao weapon magic weapon in his hand was used up, he would have to rely on his own refining. ”

When Li Shijian heard this, he was greatly surprised: "Master, is it very dangerous over there, why do you consume a large amount of Dao weapon magic weapons?"

The Ninth Elder shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be any big danger, ninety-nine percent of the people who went there could come back safely, and there were few accidents, that is, the last time:

Three hundred and sixty years ago, our outstanding disciple of Mingzong, Zongshuai and the Zen disciple Enlightenment monk, both had accidents, and they went to the same disciples, and not many survived. I don't know exactly why this is, but since then, we have split with Confucianism. ”

Speaking of this, the Ninth Elder handed Li Shijian a key and said, "This key is for me in the secret room here, and the spirit lock of that weapon is a five-grade Dao weapon, you can go in and cultivate by yourself, you can lock it from the inside, and no one will disturb you."

There are only two keys to this, one for me and one for you. Shijian, you go and practice well!

I think, you have a conflict with the Heart Mirror, if you can't be promoted, it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in this sect in the future, the Ten Elders Yu Ion is no worse than me, the person on the Heart Mirror is far better than me, the apprentice of the Heart Mirror, Hulagus, is now a level higher than you, if they gain power, our life will not be easy. ”

Li Shijian said "yes" and went to cultivate.

Li Shijian first learned the way of refining, but fortunately, he learned the theory thoroughly, and only needed practice. Now there are ready-made materials given by Miao Tianbai in his hand, and there is a new style of tripod, so as soon as Li Shiquan entered the secret room, he began the practice of refining.

The first step in controlling the fire is to start the fire, and now it is much easier, the flame rises under the ding, and the temperature in the air rises. The flames turned from bright red to dazzling, and the surroundings were all faintly cyan!

Li Shijian knew that this was the time of "perfect fire", the temperature of the fire flame was the highest, and the materials that needed to be refined could be put into the tripod to melt!

Li Shijian took out the materials, thinking in his heart about refining a sword for himself, although he had the six-grade Dao weapon Xuantie Sword given by Master Yan and Elder Yan San, Li Shijian felt that if his refining level went up, he would probably be able to return this Xuantie Sword to the furnace for rerefining and improve its grade.

Now, Li Shijian wants to improve his refining level by refining sword dao weapons.

Li Shijian was reluctant to put too many materials, after all, the materials he had in his hands were limited, so he had to save a little.

Li Shijian threw a piece of muddy iron into the ding, and under the high temperature, the muddy iron quickly melted.

Li Shijian silently recited the steps and operation essentials of refining in his heart: ascending control, constant control, wave control and impurity, temperature criticality, rough billet forming, and engraving formation!

At that time, the flames flickered, and the temperature in the ding remained above 3,300 degrees, fluctuating around 3,350 degrees!

After a while, Li Shijian's head was dripping with sweat!

Li Shijian silently thought in his heart: Persistence, persistence! The longer I persist, the higher the purity! I must persist until more than 20 minutes in theory!

However, Li Shijian only lasted until ten minutes, and then he couldn't hold on anymore, so he had to put down Ding and meditate and practice on his own.

The new type of ding, the iron juice in the ding revealed the high temperature of the roasting people, and slowly cooled in the air.

An hour later, Li Shijian stood up again, controlled the new style tripod again, melted the iron juice again, and purified it again, this time, it still lasted less than ten minutes.

So Li Shijian put down the Ding again and went to meditate and practice again.

In this way, I saw Li Shijian pick up and put down the new-style tripod, put it down and pick it up, and in this way, outside the secret room, the sun rose and set, and the moon fell and rose.

Xianyuntan has been shadowing for a long time, but I don't realize that half a month has passed, and Li Shijian can finally hold on to the wave control time to more than 20 minutes! In the past half a month, Li Shijian feels that his cultivation has also made great progress!

When he probed the iron juice in the ding again, Li Shijian was shocked: there were almost no impurities!

Li Shijian couldn't help but think: With my realm cultivation, how could it be so pure and free of impurities?

Yes, this piece of muddy iron, I don't know how many times it has been melted and purified in the past half a month, and the total time taken is far more than 20 minutes!

Thinking about this section, Li Shijian followed his own pre-set, without mixing any other materials, and only refined a pure single metal sword.

So, after Li Shijian completed the fire control and miscellaneous removal, he controlled the flame under the ding, cooled down, and the iron juice was in the ding, and with the operation of Li Shijian's immortal spiritual dao true yuan spiritual power, it gradually took shape, showing the appearance of a short sword.

At this time, it is the critical time to engrave the formation, and the formation can be engraved to make this small sword a Dao weapon, the more precise the formation is engraved, the better, and the higher the grade of the Dao weapon small sword refined.

Li Shijian concentrated on carving the formation, however, accidentally, the temperature dropped too low, and the formation inscription failed!

If you fail, start all over again, after all, this muddy iron is not a natural treasure, a single kind, and it can be repeatedly refined!

Engrave the formation again, Li Shijian thought about it, engrave a simple formation, just engrave a Taiji Yin and Yang Array.

So the sword became. Quench.

A three-grade Dao weapon small sword appeared in Li Shijian's hand, and without urging, the small sword revealed a faint cold glow!

Li Shijian was overjoyed! In addition to being overjoyed, this Li Mou put the small sword into the ding, melted it again, refined it again, and refined it into a small sword with a three-grade Taoist weapon.

Li Shijian shook his head and said to himself: "Compared with the last refining, there is no improvement!"

So come again!

I don't know how many times.

On the morning of this day, when the little sword reappeared in Li Shijian's hand, Li Shijian breathed a sigh of relief: Finally, he has improved greatly and become a four-grade Taoist weapon!

Someone knocked on the door a few times, and then the sound of the key turning the lock hole was heard. Then he called softly: "Shijian, didn't bother you, did you?"

The door opened, and the Ninth Elder came in: "Shijian, since you entered the secret room, I haven't seen you out of the house for nearly forty days, how is it?"

Before the words fell, the Ninth Elder stepped up to Li Shijian's side and praised him: "Good sword, good sword!

Li Shijian smiled a little embarrassedly: "Master, what are you praising me, this is just a four-grade Taoist weapon." ”

"Otherwise!" Elder Nine said with a smile, "Poetry Sword, what about this sword, in my opinion, it is made of ordinary muddy iron, without any other heavenly and earthly treasures, and can be refined into a four-grade Dao weapon, even Elder Tang of the Qitang can't do this step for you!

Li Shijian said with a smile, "Senior Uncle Tang has hundreds of years of refining experience, where can I compare with him?"

The Ninth Elder smiled, "You accumulate slowly, and after a long time, your experience will also be rich." Tell me how you managed to refine the Four-Rank Dao Vessel all of a sudden?"

Li Shijian said with a smile: "Master, where is this a success, I have been practicing until the thirty-sixth time, and then I have raised its grade to the fourth grade." ”

"Yo, are you saying that the first time you refined it was not the fourth grade? Good apprentice, what grade did you refine the first time? A mortal iron sword? Or is it a real weapon?"

Li Shijian said with a smile: "Master, when you first refine it, it is a three-grade Dao weapon. ”

The Ninth Elder laughed: "Okay! Poetry Sword, Okay! The first time you refine a finished product, it corresponds to your own cultivation realm, then the higher your cultivation realm in the future, the higher the grade of the magic weapon you refine, and generally it will not be lower than your own cultivation realm! Roughly speaking, the refiner and the magic weapon you have refined yourself have such a corresponding relationship. ”

Li Shijian didn't understand what kind of correspondence this was, so the Nine Elders explained it to him:

"I can't say the reason for this, but some people's cultivation realm is obviously the fifth or sixth order of the spiritual path, but the Dao weapon that has been refined is only two or three grades at most, which is different from your situation!

As a teacher, I have also heard that there is a legend among the refiners that the grade of the finished magic weapon that is sold for the first time is low, which probably means that this refiner will never be able to refine a magic weapon with a higher grade than his own cultivation realm in the future. Therefore, beginners who have successfully refined something for the first time, whose grade is much lower than their own cultivation, generally give up learning the way of refining automatically. ”

After the Ninth Elder explained, he laughed again: "Shijian, I have prepared some high-grade spirit stones for you for your cultivation, you can absorb them like this, and cultivate on this!"

Saying that, the Nine Elders started a demonstration for Li Shijian, it turned out that the method of absorbing spirit stones to cultivate was also simple, just put the spirit stones between the palms, and when the immortal true yuan spiritual energy passed by the Lao Gong acupoint in the palms of both palms, it would suck away the spiritual energy in the spirit stone little by little, the higher the realm, the stronger the immortal true yuan spiritual power, the faster it would be absorbed!

After the demonstration of the Ninth Elder, the younger brother gave Li Shijian a medium-grade spirit stone and said: "Shijian, you try it according to my appearance, you have to do your best to absorb it, and test it for the teacher to see how long it will take for you to completely absorb the spiritual energy in this spirit stone?" Remember, the faster the speed, the shorter the time, the better!"

Li Shijian said "yes", followed the example of the Nine Elders, and acted according to the law. The Nine Elders stared intently.

For a while, the secret room was very quiet, so quiet that the Nine Elders could only hear their own hearts, beating "bang-bang-bang......
