Chapter 41: The Refining

Deng An couldn't help but have an extra expectation, retraced the sharp gold yin pattern in his mind, and stared at the lines on the surface of the leg bone of the three-eyed evil tiger, and entered a meditative state. Gradually, the two lines began to overlap in his consciousness, and after a few hours, in his eyes, there were only three fractures left on the surface of the three-eyed evil tiger's leg bone.

Suddenly, Deng An had a feeling and slowly raised his conjured right hand. Immediately, his entire right arm began to thin, and the palm of his hand condensed into an awl, almost without hesitation, the awl landed on the end of the three-eyed evil tiger's leg bone, a seemingly random stroke.

The beast bone immediately let out a slight tremor, but it was tightly controlled by Deng An with his other hand, and the yin lines on its surface flickered a few times, and then fell silent again.

At this time, Deng An's conjured face was already covered with yin qi, and his soul body also dimmed for a moment at a certain moment. It's just a small amount, the consumption of the underworld power is far beyond imagination, and it actually uses up a small half of the storage in the soul body, which is still under the premise of using natural embryos, if it is replaced by other refining materials, the consumption of the underworld power is not something he can support at all. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and had to pause and recover his spiritual power first.

It wasn't until five days later that Deng An completed the connection of the remaining two Yin lines.

At this time, the natural yin lines on the surface of the three-eyed evil tiger, although they still appear incoherent, already have a trace of a feeling of being done in one go, faintly conveying a sense of power.

Repairing the Yin Pattern of a Semi-Immortal Weapon is still like this, wouldn't it be more difficult to draw the Yin Pattern of a complete Immortal Artifact, what kind of challenge would it be, Deng An didn't dare to imagine it, at least before condensing, he had no hope of refining a real Immortal Artifact.

Deng An was not too disappointed, among the low-level cultivators in the Nayin Period, the Spiritual Weapon was a rare thing, and only a few Meditation Cultivators who had stepped into the Condensation Stage for half a step could have it. Even if he has the ability to refine it, I'm afraid he won't dare to use it.

In the cultivation realm where strength is respected, everything speaks with your fists, and if you have a treasure that does not match your identity, most of you will be killed and robbed by other cultivators.

The yin pattern has been drawn, and the next step is calcination.

For Deng An, who had an off-white ghostly fire, he was naturally confident, and he even had some expectations, wanting to see what kind of semi-dark weapon the leg bone of the three-eyed evil tiger would become after his strange ghostly fire.

Deng An's expression gradually became solemn, whether it is a semi-dark vessel or a dark vessel, no accidents are allowed in the calcination process, because once it happens, the embryo will be affected, and it will become a pile of waste residue in serious cases, without any reversibility, and it must be treated carefully.

All preparations continued, and the spiritual power had also recovered to its peak, Deng An slowly sacrificed the semi-immortal artifact embryo, causing it to levitate two feet in front of him. As Deng An's mind moved, a gray-white flame the size of a soybean appeared in the palm of his right hand.

This flame seems to be unremarkable, but it consumes the spiritual power in Deng An's requiem all the time, and even such an inconspicuous small grain cannot last too long. In order not to waste time, Deng An increased the injection of the spiritual force, and the gray-white flame the size of a soybean suddenly turned into a mass with a diameter of about three inches, enveloping the embryo above.

When the yin lines on the surface of the embryo of the semi-dark artifact encounter this special fire, they immediately absorb some of it, and later flow back and forth on the surface of the embryo as if they came to life. However, after only a moment, a small part of the yin lines were tightly attached back to the embryo, as if they had been imprinted on it, and they were completely integrated with the embryo.

Seeing this, Deng An'an's head was slightly loose, which showed that the calcination process was the same as the information introduction, and the first step was completed smoothly, as long as he continued to press this operation, he could refine the semi-dark weapon.

An hour later, half of the yin lines on the surface of the embryo had been imprinted, but for Deng An, who was losing money on calcining, he didn't feel the slightest relief, because just now, he heard a slight explosion from inside the embryo, which meant that the calcination that the embryo could bear was about to reach its limit, half an hour earlier than he expected.

In desperation, Deng An popped out a snow spirit leaf from his soul.

After the snow spirit leaf flew on the surface of the embryo, it was immediately melted into two liquids, one white and one black, by the strange ghostly fire. The black liquid is quickly attracted after encountering the pubic lines, while the white liquid is driven by Deng An to apply to the surface of the embryo. Under the protection of the white liquid, the phantom fire continued to imprint the yin lines, and the embryo itself continued to strengthen.

At this time, the underworld power in Deng An's body was less than half of the peak period, and if it was consumed at the current rate, it would definitely not be able to complete the calcination of the remaining embryos. Without any hesitation, he popped out a snow spirit leaf again. When the snow spirit leaf flew away from the soul body, it immediately exploded, and before the black air mass in it dissolved, Deng An rolled his tongue and swallowed it.

After more than two hours, Deng An looked at a beast bone with a happy face, full of a sense of accomplishment. It turned out that the three-foot-long beast bone embryo had become as white as jade after three hours of forged fire, and its performance was covered with very light golden lines, and if it wasn't for careful observation, it would definitely be mistaken for a jade product. Moreover, compared with the semi-underworld weapon obtained from Kong Nianqi, the semi-underworld weapon he refined, whether it is the smoothness of the yin pattern or the hardness after calcination, it is a grade higher, which is indeed a very satisfactory result for Deng An, who tried refining for the first time.

In order to commemorate the success of the first refining, Deng An named this semi-dark weapon refined from the leg bones of the three-eyed evil tiger on a whim as the "Evil Tiger Jade Staff". It wasn't until half an hour later that he reluctantly put away the Evil Tiger Jade Staff and recovered the consumed Yin Qi and Spiritual Power.

After Deng An figured out a piece of refining information, because he had no opportunity to practice, he left the cave, planning to go to the bottom to rent a cave and concentrate on improving his cultivation.

Before that, Deng An first went to Nian Wenzhai and entrusted Zhou Jingqi to collect all the information related to refining weapons on his behalf, and then went to a shop on Qianqiao Peak that specialized in selling semi-spiritual weapons. After communicating with the shopkeeper for a while, he became even more determined to take the path of refining, a semi-immortal weapon that was far inferior to the Evil Tiger Jade Staff, and the other party actually asked for more than a dozen Snow Spirit Leaves. In other words, excluding the input cost, according to his amateur refining level, refining a semi-immortal weapon would be able to have a surplus of three or four Snow Spirit Leaves, which was much stronger than going to the outside of the peak to take risks.

However, the embryos of the semi-dark artifact are scarce and cannot be mass-produced, and if he does not want to become a refining laborer, he must improve the refining level as soon as possible in order to make the maximum profit. However, the materials required for refining are expensive, and beginners are bound to experience countless failures, and without a large number of snow spirit leaves as a guarantee, it is impossible to achieve results in a short period of time. The problem is back to the starting point, everything is based on the Snow Spirit Leaf, whether he wants it or not, he must spend some time refining the Half-Immortal Weapon.

Deng An weighed it, the two could not be biased, he still had some snow spirit leaves, and it was better to cultivate with peace of mind for a period of time. So Deng An came to the bottom of Qianqiao Peak and paid eight snow spirit leaves to the management here, two of which were for one year of stay in Qianjiao Peak, and the other six were for a one-year lease of a cave on the bottom floor.

A year has passed in a hurry. On this day, Deng An had to leave the bottom cave. With the help of the rich yin qi environment of the cave at the bottom of Qianqiao Peak, his cultivation was raised to the level of the sixth layer of the cultivator's qi cultivation stage, and he was one step away from reaching the late stage of the Yin Cultivation Period. Because there were no Yin Spirit Beads to refine, this was already the fastest speed of cultivation.

The reason for interrupting cultivation was nothing more than that the lease period had expired, and there were not many snow spirit leaves left, so Deng An had to try to raise some. As for whether to rely on refining weapons to earn Snow Spirit Leaves, he didn't want to do it for the time being, and preferred to go to the Thousand Tricks Peak to take risks outside the Thousand Tricks Peak and earn Snow Spirit Grass. Wait until you have a first-hand experience of the surrounding situation, and then choose a refining location.

After Deng An left the rented cave mansion, he turned around and drifted to the middle of Qianqiao Peak, when he was still forty or fifty zhang away from Nian Wenzhai, he saw Zhou Jingqi respectfully send out a fat man to meditate, and the first time he saw this person, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly flashed behind the mountain rock on one side. Since it was late at night, there were many meditation activities on the Thousand Tricks Peak, so he did not attract the attention of the fat man.

After the fat man left Nian Wenzhai, he turned to the back of the Thousand Tricks Peak.

When Deng An floated into Nian Wenzhai, Zhou Jingqi's transformed figure was in a daze, and when he saw Deng An coming in, he immediately greeted him, and said slightly apologetically: "I'm going to disappoint Deng Daoyou again, so far, Benzhai has not received a new piece of information about refining weapons." ”

"It's okay!" This result was already expected by Deng An, not to mention that his main purpose was not for this, and asked, "Does Guizhai have a topographic map of the Burial Immortal Mountain?"

"Daoist friends plan to go to other meditation accumulation points?" Zhou Jingqi heard this, his face showed surprise, and there was a deep regret in his tone, and he couldn't see the slightest fraud, although Deng An was not his big customer, but he also belonged to the kind of customer with great development potential, and any shrewd businessman would feel distressed about the loss of such a customer.

Deng An said quietly: "I don't have any plans to leave Qianqiao Peak for the time being, but the snow spirit leaves have been consumed too quickly recently, and I want to go out to try my luck." ”

Zhou Jingqi's face showed a sudden expression, and he introduced it endlessly: "Speaking of the map, among the several nearby meditation accumulation points, Ben Zhai's is enough to be included in the best. Zai Xia has a long-term relationship with many meditations, including several other settlements, and if they explore an unknown area, they will sell terrain information to Zai Xia. So, if you're going on a treasure hunt or hunting monsters, Honsai's map is definitely a great help. ”

"For Zhou Daoyou's ability, I still trust it very much, I don't know how much a map costs?" Deng An listened to his introduction and smiled slightly.

"A snow spirit leaf. Zhou Jingqi's conjured palm raised a finger.

Deng An thought that he would report the high level, but when he heard that it was a snow spirit leaf, he was a little surprised, this was the lowest unit of pricing, so he immediately threw one over. Zhou Jingqi took it and put it away, and sent some map information to Deng An.
