Chapter 412: Promoted to the Fourth-Rank High-Grade Refiner
With Lu Xuewei's current cultivation level and the many life-saving cards he had given her, Zhou Yang was not worried about the dangers she would encounter when she went out to explore the sand sea.
So after sending Lu Xuewei away, he sent a message to Zhou Guangxiang who was far away in Chihu Mountain, ordering him to summon clan members from all over the country who had no important matters to go to the Chihu Mountain Oasis to prepare for the family meeting to be held three months later.
Every time the Zhou family holds a family meeting, it means that there will be important things to announce. Therefore, every time they receive the news that a family meeting is going to be held, as long as the Zhou family monks can go to attend, they will try their best to participate so that it is convenient for them.
Get the information about the family's changes immediately, or show your face in front of Zhou Yang, the family's supreme elder.
You must know that since Zhou Yang came back from traveling to the Immortal Realm of Liuyun Continent, except for a few important family celebrations, he rarely appeared in front of his clan members, so that many Zhou family members had only seen this family ancestor in portraits.
It's rare to see his true appearance up close.
Especially in the past twenty years, he has spent in seclusion. Those Zhou family members in their twenties and thirties have grown up listening to the legend of him, the supreme elder of the family, but have never had the opportunity to see the real person.
When these people heard the news of the family meeting, they were extremely excited. They all dropped everything and rushed back to the Chihu Mountain Oasis, not wanting to miss this opportunity to see their idol's true appearance.
However, Zhou Yang was in no hurry to rush to Chihu Mountain Oasis.
After he sent out the news of convening a family meeting, he entered the weapon refining room, preparing to upgrade his weapon refining skills to the fourth level.
In fact, after he created his own magical weapon and obtained the Heavenly Favor, his weapon refining skills have been greatly improved, and he is not far away from being promoted to the fourth level high-grade weapon refiner.
If at that time he was willing to work hard for several years to study the art of weapon refining, he would definitely be promoted to a fourth-level high-grade weapon refiner.
It was just that at that time, he was anxious to improve his cultivation in order to cope with the battle of Rhinoceros Continent, so he put it aside for the time being.
In the years that followed, although he did not deliberately study the art of refining weapons, the several refinements of fourth-level magic weapons allowed him to gradually come into contact with that boundary.
This time, his cultivation level reached the late stage of Zifu. He could no longer improve his cultivation level in a short period of time, so he prepared to break through that level and improve his weapon refining skills.
Zhou Yang has a lot of materials for refining fourth-level high-grade magic weapons, most of which he obtained from killing monsters and wild beasts, and a small part of which he obtained from the monks who fell under his command.
This time, he planned to use the shell fragments of the fifth-level low-level monster "Genshan Turtle" as materials, and add some hard spiritual gold to refine a fourth-level high-level defensive magic weapon shield that he could use.
The "Gen Mountain Turtle" was killed by him with the "Xuanyang Purple Sky Divine Thunder" jade talisman given by Master Qingyang. The turtle's shell was blasted with dozens of cracks by the powerful thunder and lightning, and it could no longer be used as a whole.
Come to refine the fifth-level magic weapon.
Therefore, Zhou Yang later dismantled it into pieces and prepared to use its hard and thick material to refine a batch of fourth-level defensive magic weapons.
The process of refining the weapon was quite smooth. After three failures, Zhou Yang successfully refined the magic weapon shield he wanted.
This fourth-level high-grade magic weapon shield uses the hardest turtle shell from the fifth-level monster "Genshan Turtle" as the main material. Not only can the material itself easily block attacks from magic weapons of the same level such as flying swords, but it can also
It comes with a "Earth Shield" protective magical power, which after being activated can block a fourth-level high-grade spell attack without breaking.
With this magical weapon for protection, unless he encounters a fifth-level monster or a golden elixir-level monk, Zhou Yang can ignore most of the same-level monsters with only this magical weapon and the "Celestial Silkworm Treasure Clothes" he wears.
The monks attacked.
However, after successfully being promoted to the fourth-level high-grade weapon refiner, Zhou Yang did not leave immediately. Instead, he took out another set of materials and prepared to continue to refine the weapon.
"I wonder if my idea will succeed?"
In the refining room, Zhou Yang looked at the fiery red fox fur in his hand, a look of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
The fox skin in his hand was the remnant of the three-tailed demon fox that died under his sword. He had completely peeled off the fox skin with the fox tail in order to use it to refine a clone.
A life-preserving vestment.
This time, he chose to attack the fourth-level high-grade weapon refiner first before refining this magic weapon, also to maximize the success rate. After all, he only had one chance.
Because the three-tailed demon fox was only a fourth-level low-grade monster when it was alive, Zhou Yang's requirements for this magical weapon were also very low, as long as it could reach the level of a fourth-order magical weapon.
Based on his level of fourth-grade high-grade weapon refining skills at this time, the success rate of refining a fourth-grade low-grade magic weapon is at least 60%. As long as his luck is not too bad, there should be no possibility of failure.
Because it was just to equip the robe with the escape power of the clone of the three-tailed demon fox, Zhou Yang did not have any requirements for the defensive power of the robe. When refining the weapon, his main focus was on how to activate the life-saving power of the clone.
And because the main carrier of the three-tailed demon fox's life-saving magical power is the three fox tails, Zhou Yang was worried about causing damage to the fox tails, so he did not dare to use the extremely high temperature "Qianyang True Fire", but chose to use earth fire to refine it.
.
This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of refining some magic weapons.
Fortunately, his luck was not too bad. After five days and five nights of refining, he was able to refine the fox fur robe.
This refined fox-skin robe was only a fourth-level low-grade one as Zhou Yang had predicted beforehand, and it indeed came with the life-saving magical power of the three-tailed demon fox's clone.
However, this magical power can only be used once. After one time, the three fox tails will be damaged and this magical power can no longer be used.
Of course, this did not satisfy Zhou Yang, so he had to process the magic weapon again.
He raised his hand, and a black jade bottle appeared in his hand. Then he reached out and pulled off the lid of the jade bottle and shook the jade bottle. The three-tailed fox spirit that he had put into the jade bottle fifteen years ago was released from it.
Drilled out.
It is not the first time that Zhou Yang has done this kind of thing by enchanting a magical weapon so that it has a soul.
The middle-grade magic weapon "Heavenly Thunder Horn" that he had given to Zhou Guangxiang for personal protection was a treasure of weapon soul that he had refined with his own hands.
According to his estimation, as long as he can attach the beast soul of the three-tailed demon fox to this newly refined robe, the life-saving magical power of the clone that comes with the robe will no longer be limited to one use, but can be used repeatedly.
Woohoo!
The beast soul of the three-tailed demon fox has been in the jade bottle made from the "Soul-nurturing Jade" for fifteen years, and its spirit has not completely dissipated. When he got out of the jade bottle and saw Zhou Yang, the enemy who killed him, he was immediately frightened.
Wailing and trying to escape.
But before it could make any move, Zhou Yang used the "soul arresting technique" to imprison it.
"The spirituality has not dissipated even now. It seems like I need to spend more time on it."
Zhou Yang looked at his beast soul after being imprisoned by him, with eyes full of pleading. A cold light flashed in his eyes, but without any pity, he made a seal with his hands and used another skill on the beast soul.
The secret technique "Soul Cleansing Technique".
As the name suggests, this "soul-washing technique" can cleanse the target's soul, wash away all the original memories of the soul, and turn it into an idiot with a blank soul.
However, in order to use this secret technique, the prerequisite is to possess the cultivation level of Zifu, open up the Zifu and manifest the soul.
Then, in order to successfully cast the secret technique, your own soul must be many times stronger than the target soul.
Zhou Yang naturally has both of these two conditions. His soul, which is already at the seventh level of the Zifu, is so powerful that even the ninth-level monks like Zhang Yunpeng, who are about to die at the end of their lifespan, can't compare, let alone a head.
The beast soul of a fourth-level low-grade monster.
At this time, he performed the "Soul Washing Technique" and quickly washed away all the memories of the three-tailed demon fox beast soul. Then, taking advantage of the moment when the beast soul whose memory had been erased was stunned, he quickly used magic spells to urge the beast soul to move toward
The fox fur vest is integrated into it.
Everything went as smoothly as expected. Whether it was because the memory of the three-tailed demon fox had just been washed away, or because it was attracted by the familiar aura on the fox fur robe, the beast soul of the three-tailed demon fox merged into it and became the weapon soul without much resistance.
.
"It's done!"
Zhou Yang reached out and grabbed the cassock with a look of joy on his face, and used his spiritual consciousness to examine the treasure of the weapon soul with a look of joy on his face.
After a while, he put down the cassock in his hand, with a look of loss and surprise on his face, and couldn't help but murmur to himself: "So that's it! That's it!"
"Sure enough, what I thought was too simple. This kind of magical power, even if the demon fox used it during his lifetime, the price was not small. How could he keep using it repeatedly!"
However, even if the fox-skin robe had a weapon soul, it was not like he could reuse the clone's life-saving magic power as he had thought beforehand, but instead increased the number of uses to three times.
Once the life-saving magic power of the three clones is used, the entire robe and the soul inside will be destroyed and dissipated, and there is no possibility of repair.
However, Zhou Yang already knew that this was not because his weapon refining skills were incompetent, but because the magical power of the three-tailed demon fox was so unbelievable that its cultivation was unable to use it as a common method.
If the three-tailed demon fox advances to become a fifth-level monster, perhaps this magical power can truly become a common method that can be used frequently. Only in this way can magic weapons refined from its fox skin make it possible for this magical power to be used repeatedly.
.
Therefore, although he was a little disappointed, he quickly accepted the matter without much reluctance and put away the magic weapon.
At this time, more than two months have passed since he went into seclusion to refine weapons, and it has been less than a month since the family meeting he notified was held.
Therefore, after he came out of seclusion, he directly asked Zhou Guangxiang, who was in charge of Qinglang Peak, to come to Lingxi Peak to take charge, and then he rode the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle alone and rushed to the Chihu Mountain Oasis to host the family meeting.
At the same time, because there was still enough time, he did not take the shortest distance to the Chihu Mountain Oasis, but flew along the route of the oasis passage and inspected the situation of the oasis passage along the way.
