Inside the inn, Yuan Ming slowly opened his eyes, his eyes bright.
The mana fluctuations in his body have become much stronger. The Nine Yuan Jue combined with the Peiyuan Pill and the spiritual fragrance have increased the mana very quickly. In less than two days, it is worth nearly half a month.
The practice is effective.
Presumably, the original purpose of spiritual incense such as Qingxuanxiang was probably for high-level monks to assist in their practice, or for sects to make offerings.
Moreover, each time you practice, more than one spiritual incense is consumed. One practice consumes several spiritual stones, which is not something that ordinary small sects can afford.
There should not be many people with financial resources in this barbaric land of southern Xinjiang. No wonder the veteran's business is so poor.
According to the agreement, you can get the Qianji Mask today, but I don’t know if Master Huolian has succeeded.
Yuan Ming left the inn room and went to Master Huolian's magic weapon shop.
Now that the other party already knew his identity, he did not deliberately hide it this time.
"Haha, fellow Taoist came just in time. The refining of the Thousand Machine Mask has been completed. Fortunately, it has fulfilled its mission." Before Yuan Ming could speak, the bald man chuckled.
"Thank you! Isn't Master Huolian in the shop?" Yuan Ming was convinced when he heard this.
"Oh, my master is busy in the back room. Fellow Taoist, please take a look." The bald man said, taking out a wooden box from under the counter and handing it over.
Yuan Ming opened the wooden box, and inside was a white mask that looked somewhat translucent. The texture was extremely thin, and the tentacles were warm and soft. It felt almost like a human face.
He picked it up and tried to put it on his face. The size was just right and the mask was almost invisible.
"My master, fellow Taoist, is very lucky. This time the weapon refining was quite successful. This Thousand Machine Mask can be used three times. Fellow Taoist, please be careful when using it," the bald man said again.
"What! It can only be used three times?" A trace of surprise flashed in Yuan Ming's eyes.
"Don't you know, fellow Taoist? The Thousand Machines Mask is a consumable magic weapon. The main material of this object is the skin of a human-faced spider, which is only a first-level ferocious beast material. The spiritual power contained in it is too weak. It is very difficult to sustain three transformations.
Not bad." The bald man explained.
Yuan Ming became silent.
The magic weapon shop is in the business of welcoming customers, so they shouldn't lie to him about this kind of thing. The Qianji Mask is made of first-level ferocious beast materials, but the effect is so amazing that even the foundation-building monks can't see through it.
It is indeed unreasonable. It seems that he has some extravagant expectations.
Thinking of this, he didn't bother anymore, paid the other half of the weapon refining fee, and left with the Qianji Mask.
Yuan Ming did not stay in Black Rock City for long, and quickly left for the Biluodong Sect.
…
Along the way, Yuan Ming was worried about being targeted and robbed, so he was fully prepared, but everything was calm.
After returning to Biluo Cave, Yuan Ming couldn't wait to go straight to the back mountain and found the third cave master.
"Is this Yin Jade?" The third cave master couldn't help but change his expression after seeing him take out the half piece of white Ruyi.
"Not bad." Yuan Ming nodded.
"I didn't expect that you could find Yin Jade as a substitute. The quality of this thing cannot be compared with the Thousand-Year Cold Crystal, but it is not easy to find. In addition, its own properties are also strange enough, so you are lucky. Just be careful.
, activating this type of magic weapon for a long time may damage your own soul. I will try to reduce its backlash power during refining, but you still have to pay attention." After checking the Yin Jade brought back by Yuan Ming, Sandong
The Lord nodded slightly and warned.
"Then it's Cave Master Laosan." Yuan Ming said, cupping his fists.
"Come with me." After the third cave master said, he got up and took Yuan Ming to the back hall of the small courtyard.
Arriving at the back hall, Yuan Ming saw at a glance a completely black casting furnace, similar in style to the one owned by Master Heimu, with many secret patterns engraved on the surface.
The Lord of the Third Cave came to the casting furnace, selected some coal stones, sulfur and the like on the shelves nearby, and put them into the casting furnace.
Then, she raised her hand to pinch a spell and pressed it on the furnace.
The next moment, a ray of fire lit up from his palm, like a mountain fire spreading, lighting up the patterns on the furnace body.
Traces of red light gathered from all directions, all concentrated into the furnace body, and condensed into a blazing flame, igniting the furnace.
An extremely hot breath rushed out from the stove, and the waves of air caused Yuan Ming's face to tighten, and he subconsciously stepped back.
The third cave master was calm and didn't react at all.
He squatted on her shoulders and raised his head, bent his waist, and stretched beautifully, looking very comfortable.
"Give me the sword." The third cave master said.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming immediately offered the herring sword with both hands.
Huo Greedy followed his outstretched arm and climbed onto his shoulder.
The master of the third cave opened a sealed door on the furnace with a wave of his hand, and a bunch of flames immediately poured out like a flood from a flood outlet.
She raised her palm and pressed it against the incoming flames, and an invisible force forced the flames back into the fire pit.
Then, she held up the herring sword with her magic power and slowly sent it into the furnace.
The herring sword entered the center of the fire pit and was immediately surrounded by blazing flames. The tongues of fire licked the sword one after another as if they had discovered delicious food.
Yuan Ming was feeling strange, and when he looked again, he realized that it was the third cave master who was deliberately controlling the flow of the flames.
"You should have the fire spirit root. During daily practice, you can choose a fire attribute spell and practice the art of controlling fire. This is very necessary for the weapon refiner." The voice of the third cave master sounded,
But he was reminding Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming subconsciously wanted to say that he practiced cultivation, but he immediately stopped talking.
Not to mention that there are problems with the source of his own magic. Even a violent magic like Explosion has nothing to do with controlling fire. If it is really used, even the casting furnace will explode immediately.
.
"Yes." Yuan Ming nodded in response.
"For the second smelting, the heat is particularly important. You should take care of it." The third cave master said.
"The Master of the Third Cave personally gave his instructions, and the disciples must keep them in mind."
In fact, she didn't need to remind him, Yuan Ming would not miss such a rare opportunity to observe.
After the third cave master finished saying this, he stopped talking and concentrated on controlling the temperature of the flame and the furnace.
After all, the herring sword is a secondary smelting. Unlike the primary smelting, all the materials need to be melted, impurities removed, and fused together. Instead, they need to be calcined to a critical state where they remain solid but evaporate.
Once this critical state is passed, the shape of the herring sword will melt and lose its original solid structure. However, if it fails to reach this critical state, there will be no way to integrate the Yin Jade into it.
Yuan Ming understands this principle, but with his current skills, he still cannot do it in practice.
After burning for about half a quarter of an hour, the temperature in the casting furnace suddenly rose, and the whole body of the herring sword lit up in blazing white, golden, and bright red luster from the inside to the outside.
"Yin Yu." The Third Cave Master said with a slight frown.
Yuan Ming immediately offered it with both hands.
The Third Cave Master took the Yin Jade with one hand and gently stroked the sealed door of the casting furnace with the other hand.
The door on the furnace was opened again, and an even more intense wave of air surged out, but the flame was still controlled by the three cave masters.
Immediately afterwards, she hooked her finger and drew a ray of magic power. She immediately pulled out the herring sword and placed it on the casting platform.
Almost at the same time, the third cave master grabbed Yin Yu's hand and pressed it on the herring sword.
"hiss……"
With a soft sound, a large amount of white mist steamed up, obscuring Yuan Ming's vision.
He only saw the third cave master closing the fire pond door, grabbing the casting hammer next to him, and smashing it towards the casting platform.
"Qiang, Qiang, Qiang"
The sound of hammering sounded one after another, and no sparks could be seen splashing on the casting platform, but one aperture after another could be seen shining with each hammering blow.
Only a vague and graceful figure can be seen in the diffuse fog, and the movements are smooth and smooth, without giving people a sense of vulgarity.
Yuan Ming's eyes condensed and he concentrated his magic power on his eyes, and his vision immediately improved greatly.
Only then did he see that when the three-hole master hammered, the flying rainbow on the herring sword shone brightly, and the outside was covered with a thin layer of white jade powder. No matter how it vibrated, it always adhered to the sword body and would not dissipate.
After each hammer of the Three Cave Masters falls, some jade powder will enter the sword body and merge with it.
After each fusion, the light of the sword body will shrink by one point, and the heat on it will also obviously decrease by one point.
At this time, the master of the third cave was seen swinging his hammer faster and faster, and the "clang" sound of the hammer began to become continuous.
Yuan Ming was dazzled by what he saw and secretly marveled in his heart. Not to mention the number of consecutive hammer blows, the speed was already beyond his reach for the time being.
However, Yuan Ming could clearly see that the reason why the Third Cave Master suddenly accelerated was to maintain the temperature of the sword body through hammering to ensure that all the Yin Jade crystal powder could be integrated into the sword body.
At this moment, a cry suddenly came from outside the courtyard in front: "The master of the third cave is here. The master of the big cave ordered his disciples to come and invite me. We have urgent matters to discuss."
"What a coincidence?" Yuan Ming frowned, fearing that the Third Cave Master would be affected.
The Great Cave Master invites you in an urgent matter. How can the matter of a small registered disciple of his be compared to this? If the Third Cave Master stops here, all the previous efforts will be wasted. Not to mention the spiritual materials he has worked so hard to find will be scrapped. The Herring Sword
I'm afraid that I have lost the possibility of raising my level again.
Fortunately, the latter's movements showed no hesitation at all. It was as if he had not heard and was not affected in the slightest.
The people outside seemed to have heard the movement inside. For fear of not hearing it inside, they used their magic power to shout loudly, and the sound immediately came in more clearly.
But the third cave master kept swinging the hammer, and nothing seemed to disturb her.
Yuan Ming felt relieved when he saw this scene.
He counted silently in his mind, and it was not until the third cave master swung his hammer 3,681 times in succession that the sound of hammering finally stopped, and the mist surrounding him had long since dissipated.
The third cave master put down the casting hammer, held the brand-new herring sword in one hand, and raised it in front of him for observation.
The appearance of the long sword has not changed much, but the green sword has countless more white star points than before. It looks like snow falling in the blue sky or like a starry curtain. It is even more dazzling and gorgeous than before.
Yuan Ming's eyes lit up, and he saw the sword's body looming, with wisps of white cold air leaking out.
"Is it done?" he couldn't help but ask.
"The fusion of materials is very good, and the properties of Yin Jade are perfectly matched with the Herring Sword. As long as there is no problem with the talisman engraving on the back, this sword will at least be a middle-grade magic weapon." The third cave master was also quite satisfied and said.
"Thank you so much Lord Three Cave." Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming immediately bowed down and thanked him sincerely.
