Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy-fifth: Heavenly Dependents Adds Body
After creating his own magical weapon "Yuanyang Shield", Zhou Yang did not obtain the legendary "Heavenly Favorite".
The reason is very simple. He is the only one who masters the refining method of this magical weapon, and has not taught it to others to copy.
To put it more simply, he is still just enlightening and not preaching.
Only by preaching on behalf of Heaven can one be granted the "favor of Heaven".
So after Zhou Yang refined the first "Yuan Yang Shield" magical weapon, he immediately called Liu Xuanxuan, the most talented weapon refiner in the Zhou family, to Qian Yang Cave.
Liu Xuanxuan joined the Zhou family at the age of twenty-one and is now thirty-eight.
Because she had not built a foundation to extend her lifespan, the little girl who was still a little young back then has now grown into a beautiful lady exuding a mature and confident temperament.
She was wearing a crimson spider silk dress, which was woven from the silk of the "flame-eating spider" domesticated by the Zhou family. It has very good fire resistance, allowing her to refine weapons in the earth fire chamber. You can try to save mana used to resist high temperatures.
At the same time, the jade bracelet on her hand, the golden hairpin on her head, and the jade pendants on her ears are all magical instruments refined by herself. Each of them is a top-quality magical instrument of the same level, beautiful and practical.
As the chief weapon refiner and deputy master of the Zhou Family Baiyi Hall, she has impressed all the monks of her generation in the Zhou family with her outstanding weapon refinement skills over the years. The confident temperament in her body is cultivated by her continuous success.
However, in front of Zhou Yang, the supreme elder of the Zhou family, a monk from the Zifu, and a fourth-level weapon refiner, Liu Xuanxuan did not dare to show her pride at all. After entering, she bowed to Zhou Yang respectfully. He bowed and said: "Junior Liu Xuanxuan, pay homage to the Supreme Elder."
"We are all family members, so there is no need to be polite."
"I have a method for refining a new magical weapon here. Xuanxuan, please take it and study it carefully to see if you can refine it."
"If you don't understand anything, you can come over and ask me at any time."
Zhou Yang flicked his sleeves with a smile, waved and threw the "Yuan Yang Shield" refining method and a storage bag filled with materials in front of Liu Xuanxuan, and softly stated the purpose of calling her over. .
Liu Xuanxuan was obviously stunned for a moment when she heard that he had called her here for this matter, but she quickly came back to her senses, took the jade slip and storage bag with a happy face and responded loudly: "Junior, I will obey you." Do your best to get this done.”
Being able to ask Zhou Yang for advice on weapon refining techniques at any time is what she dreams of.
Zhou Guangxiang had already conveyed Zhou Yang's words to her. As long as she could refine a third-level magical weapon during her Qi training period, the Zhou family would guarantee her success in foundation building!
What a great temptation this is!
Today, Liu Xuanxuan is no longer the young girl who was obsessed with the art of weapon refining. She already has a very clear idea of what foundation building represents, as well as the meaning and benefits of foundation building.
She is only a second-level high-grade weapon refiner now, and she enjoys all kinds of conveniences and benefits within the Zhou family. If she can successfully build the foundation, with her talent for weapon refinement, she will definitely have a place in the Zhou family in the future.
"The Supreme Elder is aware that this junior has indeed encountered some doubts and difficulties when refining weapons recently. I would like to ask the Supreme Elder to give me some advice."
The opportunity was so rare that Liu Xuanxuan didn't care about being polite, and immediately explained all the difficulties and doubts she encountered in her weapon refining skills to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang had just succeeded in creating his own magic weapon and was in a good mood. In addition, he also needed Liu Xuanxuan to help him obtain the "Heavenly Favorite". Naturally, he answered all Liu Xuanxuan's questions and taught him attentively.
He was very attentive in teaching, and Liu Xuanxuan learned very quickly. Zhou Yang could answer many questions with just one click, and his reputation as a weapon-refining genius was truly true.
"This little girl is not simple. Her talent for refining weapons is as high as what I used to have. Unfortunately, her spiritual root qualifications are not that good. If she has the same high-grade spiritual root qualifications as I did back then, you don't care whether you accept her or not, Fellow Daoist Zhou." Become a concubine or accept her as a disciple, from now on it will be equivalent to picking up a fifth-level weapon refining master for nothing!"
In the Qianyang Cave, when Zhou Yang looked thoughtfully at Pingping Tingting and Liu Xuanxuan who turned around and exited the cave, Xu Song, who had previously been hiding in a corner of the cave, suddenly appeared with a surprised look on his face. He said something that left Zhou Yang speechless.
What is this?
Although Liu Xuanxuan is good-looking and has a good talent in weapon refining, how could he be interested in such a woman who is hundreds of years younger than him and is only in the qi-training stage.
What's more, he is devoted to cultivation and has not even slept with his real Taoist companion, so how can he have the desire to get involved with women elsewhere?
He glanced at Xu Song with a strange expression, and said with a dry smile: "Ahem, Senior Xu, wouldn't it be that after you lost your body, you began to yearn for the sexual desires of men and women?"
After saying that, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he smiled and said: "Speaking of which, can't ghost cultivators also use the art of divine friendship to double cultivate? Senior, if you are really lonely and unbearable, Zhou can also ask someone to find some female ghosts for you, senior. I’ll be your concubine for your entertainment!”
Xu Song didn't care about his teasing. Instead, he gave me a ghostly look and said hummingly: "Hey, hey, I don't mind cultivating with a female ghost, but can you find me a female ghost who is equivalent to the foundation-building stage?" There are only a few of you in the Immortal Cultivation World in the Boundless Sand Sea, let alone ghosts!"
When Zhou Yang heard this, he chuckled and said: "Hahaha, senior, you are wrong. After you finish deciphering the body-refining magical power, and then create the few magic weapons that junior needs, I promise to find them for you." A perfect place for you to practice."
"Oh, do you know where there is a place of evil?"
Xu Song's ghost eyes lit up and he looked at Zhou Yang with surprise in his eyes.
"Of course." Zhou Yang smiled and nodded.
"Okay, then you wait, kid. In half a year at most, I promise to decipher that body-refining magical power!"
Xu Song gritted his teeth and immediately made a promise.
In the following time, while Zhou Yang continued to collect various low-level weapon refining materials, he paid attention to the Zhou family's selection of war hall monks and the recruitment of guests, while waiting for Liu Xuanxuan to bring him good news.
According to Zhou Yang's opinion, the recruitment of monks in the war hall should be done in short supply rather than in excess. The cultivation level can be relaxed appropriately, but they must have the will and determination to dare to fight and kill, and must have a certain degree of fighting talent.
If their cultivation level is low, the Zhou family has many panaceas to help them improve their cultivation level. However, if they have cultivation level but no fighting spirit, such as Xiao Ying who has no talent in fighting, joining the war hall will only harm others and themselves.
There are hundreds of monks in the Zhou family, plus relatives and guests, but Zhou Yang only plans to recruit thirty-six people, divided into three teams.
Soldiers are more valuable than elites. Zhou Yang, who has participated in many large-scale monk battles, has a deep understanding of this.
If all the thirty-six people in the Zhou Family Battle Hall can meet his requirements, with the magical weapons and equipment he has equipped for these people, the combat effectiveness of these thirty-six Qi-training monks on the battlefield will be ten times that of the incompetent warriors. Organize casual repairs.
This is the difference between the regular army and the miscellaneous army!
Three months later, Zhou Guangxiang, who had made a breakthrough in seclusion, was successfully promoted to the eighth level of foundation building and released from seclusion, and resumed handling family affairs.
Then Liu Xuanxuan finally succeeded in refining the "Yuanyang Shield" magical weapon after dozens of failures.
It was late at night, and Liu Xuanxuan had just refined the "Yuanyang Shield" magical weapon in the public earth fire room on Chihu Mountain. Zhou Yang, who was in the Qianyang Cave, felt blessed and entered a state of enlightenment.
This state of enlightenment is somewhat similar to the state of "wandering around the world" that the Foundation Establishment monks experienced after opening the Purple Mansion. The difference is that in this state of enlightenment, Zhou Yang can more easily comprehend the great avenues related to the art of refining weapons.
After this epiphany, he not only made great progress in his own weapon refining skills, but also realized that it was only a matter of time before he broke through to the fourth level of high-level weapon refiner. He also made some improvements in the refining method of the "Yuan Yang Shield".
Although the improved "Yuanyang Shield" magic weapon cannot save on material costs, it is easier to refine successfully.
Zhou Yang asked Liu Xuanxuan to try refining it according to his improved method and found that Liu Xuanxuan's refining skills could achieve a refining rate of 50%.
And if it were Zhou Yang who refined it himself, the success rate would be almost 10%!
Although refining it by himself would save a lot of material costs, Zhou Yang still left the task of refining the "Yuan Yang Shield" to Liu Xuanxuan.
The reason is very simple. As a monk of the Purple Mansion, his time is very precious. It would be too demeaning to devote time to refining the second-level high-grade magic weapon.
The other one is for him to refine the "Yuan Yang Shield". Although the success rate is not a problem, he cannot make any improvement in the weapon refining skills.
If Liu Xuanxuan is allowed to refine the "Yuan Yang Shield", although a lot of materials will be wasted, she can continue to improve her weapon refining skills and accumulate valuable experience for her to become a third-level weapon refiner in the future.
With the current financial resources of the Zhou family, this waste can still be tolerated.
Two months later, Xiao Ying, who had been in seclusion for nearly a year, finally recovered from her injuries and walked out of the seclusion room.
"Xiao Wei'er, this is your master's wife Xiao Ying, come and meet your master's wife."
In the Qianyang Cave, after Xiao Ying came out of seclusion, Zhou Yang specially sent a message to ask his new female disciple Lu Xuewei to come over to meet his master. By the way, he also wanted to leave the job of teaching Lu Xuewei to practice to Xiao Ying.
Because he will be busy with a lot of things in the next period of time, but he will not have much time to teach this apprentice. And this apprentice has only been practicing for a few years, so he cannot have no one to teach him.
Lu Xuewei has lived in the Zhou family for more than a year and has fully felt the benefits of being Zhou Yang's apprentice. When she heard Zhou Yang's words, she was so smart that she quickly stepped forward and kowtowed and said: "Xuewei, hello." Master, I wish you eternal youth and eternal blessings."
"Weier is so good. From now on, you can stay with me. Mistress will cook you a lot of delicious food."
Xiao Ying's beautiful eyes looked at Lu Xuewei, who was as cute and beautiful as pink and jade. She was very happy to have such an additional disciple. She quickly stepped forward to help Lu Xuewei, took out some preserved fruits she made with spiritual fruits and stuffed them to Lu Xuewei.
These preserved fruits not only taste delicious, but also contain good spiritual energy. Lu Xuewei quickly fell in love with this food after just one bite, and soon fell in love with Xiao Ying, a beautiful and kind-hearted teacher's wife.
Zhou Yang looked at the two beauties, one big and one one small, who were getting along quickly. He could only sigh in his heart, "Women are all foodies." Then he smiled and let the two people play by themselves, but he entered the secret room of seclusion.
middle.
It turned out that after nearly half a year of expedited deciphering, Xu Song finally deciphered all the "silver inscriptions" printed by Zhou Yang from the sixth-level magic weapon, the Dragon Cauldron with an animal face pattern.
