"I highly praise you, Daoyou Zhang, for his ingenious ideas and his adaptability to people's conditions."
After understanding the design principle of the magic weapon, Lu Changan couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised it.
"Master Lu is so complimentary."
Zhang Tieshan's slightly dark face remained calm.
In fact, this magic weapon was not conceived and designed by him alone.
Its prototype is based on a certain magical treasure from ancient legends.
The nail-head arrow is a small magic weapon with few consumables, and half of the fourth-level soul-nourishing wood is left.
The remaining materials are used to refine functional accessories.
Functional accessories are not magic weapons, but rare objects.
Mainly relying on the characteristics of the spiritual object itself, it can also be effective when worn by people with low cultivation levels.
The functional configuration will retain the soul-nourishing effect of the soul-nourishing wood, which can speed up the lighting of the past life in the Nine-Seal Monument.
Whether it is a nail-head arrow or a small accessory, it saves on materials, so it can meet Lu Changan's two requirements at the same time.
After determining the plan, the next step is to supplement the materials.
Soul-nurturing wood is only the main material, and there are other refining materials, which must start at least level three.
For other auxiliary materials, Lu Changan and Zhang Tieshan collected some.
"This is meteorite, a third-grade high-grade stone. It can be used as the nail head material of nail-head arrows to increase the penetration ability."
Zhang Tieshan took out a fist-sized piece of gray-blue metal ore.
Lu Changan knew that meteorite was extremely rare in the world of immortality. It increased the sharpness of the magic weapon and had stronger penetrating power against various magic shields and defensive auras.
"If Fellow Daoist Lu has excess Five Elements soil, add a small amount as a neutralizer, which can improve the success rate and quality of the magic weapon."
Zhang Tieshan suggested again.
Lu Changan nodded. As a universal source of earth, the Five Elements Earth can be called the rare earth among the materials for refining weapons.
"Lu Mou still has a small amount of 'shadow stone' in his hand. Can you add it to it?"
Lu Changan took out a small piece of dark, gray ore.
Back then, Lu Changan obtained a washbasin-sized shadow stone from ancient ruins, most of which was used to refine materials that isolate spiritual consciousness.
I deliberately left some behind for future creation of magic weapons.
"Third-grade high-quality shadow stone!"
Zhang Tieshan moved slightly and glanced at Lu Changan, feeling strange.
The shadow stone can cover the fluctuations of spiritual energy and shield the scanning of spiritual consciousness.
This object can greatly increase the concealment ability of the magic weapon and also improve the speed.
With the addition of shadow stones and nail-head arrow magic weapons, it will become more insidious and weird.
"……feasible."
Zhang Tieshan stopped talking and hesitated for a moment.
He didn't know whether helping Lu Changan refine this treasure was a blessing or a curse.
If such a sinister magic weapon is made and falls into the wrong hands, it will be very harmful!
If not for the hundreds of years of friendship, Lu Changan's reputation as a character was indeed good, and Zhang Tieshan would have almost been swayed.
…
Zhang Tieshan's weapon making is estimated to take two to three months.
Lu Changan was waiting at Jinyun Valley.
At the same time, he started cooperation with Jin Yungu in painting characters.
Refining some second-level high-grade and third-level low-grade talismans.
Third-level talisman materials are difficult to find, and the success rate of talisman masters has also dropped significantly.
Lu Changan was a third-level high-grade talisman master in his previous life. At that time, the success rate of refining third-level high-grade talismans was very average.
However, refining the third-level mid- to low-grade products still maintains a certain advantage at this time.
But this advantage is far inferior to that of refining the second-level talisman back then.
Therefore, Lu Changan could only make a small profit of 20 to 30% of the materials used to refine the third-level talisman for Jinyun Valley.
"After cultivating to the elixir formation stage, the advantages gained in the previous life will be exhausted little by little."
Lu Changan had already expected this.
By the time you reach the middle stage of pill formation, the advantages brought by your previous life will basically no longer exist.
This situation made Lu Changan more and more looking forward to transforming the old monster Nascent Soul into his previous life.
He had a plan in his mind: after converting the elixir for the last time in Wangyue Fairy City, he would go to the Seven Nations Alliance in the future.
While waiting for the refining.
Lu Changan met Zhao Tan'er.
Zhao Tan'er looked a little depressed. He was refining magic weapons in the sect and practicing his magical powers hard.
Lu Changan was recruited by her to be a young man and a training partner.
Neither side uses magic weapons. Lu Changan maintains the level of downstream true elixirs, and his magic power is inferior to Zhao Tan'er.
Zhao Tan'er not only has good qualifications, but also got a chance in the Qingming Secret Realm, and achieved a level of true elixir that is close to the top.
Even though Lu Changan had more combat experience, he didn't take any advantage.
This is partly because Changqing Gong is not good at fighting.
Moreover, Zhao Tan'er is much stronger than expected.
It is understood that this woman has been competing with other true elixirs in Jinyun Valley in the past two years, and even the great elder has not let her go.
In order to increase the actual combat, Zhao Tan'er went out to perform tasks and killed several fake Dan real people.
"Uncle Lu's magic power is endless and his endurance is amazing. If the battle continues for a long time, Tan'er may not be able to withstand it."
On this day, after the two of them finished sparring, Zhao Tan'er was breathing lightly and sweat appeared on his forehead.
The advantage she gained was false, and she couldn't help Lu Changan. If it continued, her magic power would be exhausted.
"You, Uncle Lu, have cultivated your skills and have no other advantages. Your endurance is pretty good."
Many of the health-preserving skills are excellent in terms of endurance, so there is no need for Lu Changan to hide his clumsiness.
After this discussion.
Zhao Tan'er is going out on a mission again, and the target is an old and disabled early-stage True Pill monk.
After completing this mission, she will go to the front line to take care of her master.
Because there is a true elixir disciple, Zhao Siyao's mission on the front line is not dangerous, helping to guard the fairy city in the rear of the second line of the battlefield.
Lu Changan arrived by chance, as Zhao Siyao was on his way to the front line.
"Tan'er, give this to your master to give her more ability to protect herself."
Lu Changan took out a nearly third-order turtle puppet.
The defense of this puppet is close to the third level.
For some unknown reason, Zhao Tan'er was resolute and paid the spirit stone, not wanting to owe Lu Changan even a cent.
Lu Changan smiled and accepted the full amount of spiritual stones.
Although it was understandable that Zhao Tan'er refused to become a Taoist couple with his master, it was somewhat unpleasant.
In fact, Lu Changan hid three talismans among the puppets.
Two third-level low-grade pieces and one medium-grade piece.
With the tacit understanding in the past, Zhao Siyao would definitely be able to discover the talisman in the puppet.
Back then, Lu Changan was unable to refine a third-level talisman due to his limited cultivation, so he was given a treasure talisman.
That talisman saved Zhao Siyao's life, which was how he later achieved the success of the fake elixir master.
Fake elixir is Zhao Siyao's normal upper limit.
Even like Li Erqing, she has broken her upper limit and barely entered the true elixir stage. The quality of the elixir produced will not be good, and at most it will be lower than the true elixir.
The next step for Nascent Soul is definitely out of the question, unless it is a child of luck.
False Dan has a lifespan of more than three hundred years, but many ordinary dynasties do not have such a long life.
Lu Changan handed over the method of converting elixirs to Zhao Siyao.
But he knew that if this friend could live a perfect life during the false elixir period, that would be a good ending, surpassing 99% of the monks in the world of immortality.
Cultivation of immortality mainly depends on the individual, and everyone has his or her own limit.
Outsiders can help, but they cannot help by force.
If it is the Nascent Soul True Lord who pushes his descendants to break the upper limit and form true elixirs, then it would be a matter of course.
If your cultivation level is similar or even lagging behind, but you still want to help others break through the upper limit, that is overestimating your own abilities and going against nature.
…
Two or three months later.
Jinyun Valley, inside the Elder’s Cave.
"Master Lu, luckily you have lived up to your destiny. The refining of the magic weapon went quite smoothly."
Zhang Tieshan looked slightly tired and took out two brocade boxes.
One of them opened, revealing three nail-headed arrows.
It is similar to the previous model, between spikes and arrows, and the main body of the shaft is made of fourth-level soul-nurturing wood.
The nail head is smelted with third-grade high-quality meteorite.
The overall color is deeper than the model, exuding an aura that makes the soul throb.
"Three nail-headed arrows, each of which is a mid-grade magic weapon. If activated in a set, the power is comparable to that of a high-grade magic weapon. And the control distance and attack concealment are far superior to ordinary magic weapons!"
Under Zhang Tieshan's introduction, Lu Changan took out a nail-head arrow.
Integrate divine consciousness and mana, simple stimulation.
Whoosh!
The nail-head arrow turned into an arrow shadow with an elusive trajectory. In a few breaths, it became increasingly blurry and almost disappeared from the senses.
At a certain moment, Zhang Tieshan felt an inexplicable chill in his soul, a harsh friction sound was heard, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.
“Good concealment.”
The next moment, a nail-headed arrow appeared between Lu Changan's fingers.
After a simple test, he found that the nail-head arrow had a small killing range, but its mana consumption was much smaller than that of ordinary mid-level magic weapons.
The consumption of spiritual consciousness and the control of spiritual consciousness are relatively higher than ordinary magic weapons.
Normally, mid-grade magic weapons are suitable for monks who are in the middle to late stage of elixir formation.
Because the nail-head arrow is a small magic weapon, Lu Changan's spiritual consciousness is better than that of the same level, so he can control one without any pressure.
"Zhenren Lu didn't sacrifice this treasure, but he could control it easily?"
Zhang Tieshan said in surprise.
Lu Changan smiled and said: "The main material of the nail-head arrow is the soul-nurturing wood. Lu has cultivated it with wood magic power for many years, and has established a weak connection with the spirituality in it. Therefore, it can be initially controlled without sacrificial refinement."
Most magic weapons require high-level monks to refine them so that they can be easily controlled.
The better the mana matches, the stronger the power will be exerted and the more mana will be saved.
The mana doesn't match, but it's not that it can't be used, it's just a bit thankless.
For the same amount of mana, a magic weapon with matching mana power will be 30 to 50% more powerful.
Open another brocade box, there are three dark green bracelets inside.
Zhang Tieshan calls it a "soul-nourishing bracelet".
This rare piece of jewelry, worn all year round, can nourish the soul, slowly strengthen the consciousness, and resist external evils.
If it has high magic power, it can also be turned into an auxiliary treasure to conquer ghosts.
"Master Lu, can you give me a soul-nurturing bracelet as a reward for this refining of the weapon? Including the material cost of the meteorite, I don't have to pay for it."
After handing over the magic weapon, Zhang Tieshan took the initiative to propose.
"good."
Lu Changan thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
Two soul-nurturing rings are enough for him to wear one on each arm, and he usually hides them in his sleeves.
This time, Zhang Tieshan produced valuable materials for the weapon refining, and the results satisfied him.
Gotta give it some sweetness.
In the future, Zhang Tieshan may need help in refining and repairing magic weapons, including making high-level puppet parts.
What's more important is that he doesn't trust other weapon refiners.
Zhang Tieshan is also a person who has secrets. The two have been friends for hundreds of years and trust each other's character.
In the two transactions before and after, I made an oath to the inner demon.
…
After Lu Changan said goodbye.
Zhang Tieshan put away a soul-nurturing ring, put it on his forearm, and covered it with his sleeve robe.
"With this 'Soul-nurturing Ring', I should be able to speed up my practice of the 'Hundred Refinements of God Tempering Art' by a few points."
Zhang Tieshan closed his eyes and felt joyful.
"Well, it also slightly promotes the spiritual recovery of this weapon spirit..."
In his mind, the childish voice of the weapon spirit came.
"It's a pity. If Xiao Liuzi sacrificed hundreds of years of life and carefully cultivated the soul-nurturing wood to a higher grade, the effect might be better."
Qi Ling said regretfully.
"Shou Yuan is the foundation of Evergreen Kung Fu, this kind of thing is unrealistic."
Zhang Tieshan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Since the last time they saw through the Evergreen Skill, Qi Ling and he were even more wary of Lu Changan, suspecting that he was the reincarnation of Yan Donglai, or a chess piece laid out by the former.
Even though he is a weapon spirit, he does not dare to have thoughts about Lu Changan. Instead, he often talks about "Little Liuzi".
Zhang Tieshan couldn't help but wonder if this weapon spirit had the idea of "abandoning the darkness and turning to the light".
One hundred and fifty years ago, as a blacksmith, he accidentally obtained the fragment of this spiritual treasure and discovered that it was extraordinary. After tempering it for many times, he took it with him.
At that time, the weapon spirit in the Lingbao fragments was very weak and almost annihilated. After discovering that he had a strong will and suitable spiritual root attributes, he chose a master and accompanied him on the road to immortality.
"Senior, are you sure he has transformed the elixir and re-knotted it? That is a real elixir. Without the protection of the Nascent Soul Lord, how could he dare?"
Zhang Tieshan was still in disbelief at this time.
He himself only faked the elixir and turned it into an elixir once.
After forming the elixir, he went all out to form the elixir and received a 30% quality bonus.
I used all the opportunities to form elixirs, received the mysterious blessings of spiritual treasures, and finally formed the true elixir of the upper reaches.
Zhang Tieshan, who was born in the upper reaches of Zhendan and had low-grade spiritual roots, was already satisfied.
With the help of the Lingbao fragments and opportunities, there is still a lot of hope for the future of Yuanying.
Although he is also a physical practitioner, he does not dare to turn into a true elixir. If he injures his Dao Foundation, he will have no way out.
"Fuss."
Qi Ling said in an old-fashioned way: "In the ancient land of Zhongzhou, even the formed elixirs have the opportunity to change their fate against the will of heaven. What's more, this person has the blessing of Evergreen Technique and the third level of body refining, which can transform the unformed ones."
The downstream true elixir is completely feasible in theory."
…
In the Jinyun Valley guest room, Lu Changan spent half a month refining three nail-headed arrows at the same time.
The magic weapons of monks are divided into natal magic weapons and ordinary magic weapons.
Ordinary magic weapons can be refined normally.
The natal magic weapon needs to be integrated into the essence and blood of monks, and is nourished by true fire all year round. It is more powerful and can be wielded like an arm.
Even if the natal magic weapon is taken away, it will be difficult to tame and control it in a short period of time.
In addition, as long as the natal magic weapon is continuously maintained and refined with materials, it theoretically has the possibility of unlimited improvement.
But the premise is that you have to live for a long, long time.
Ordinary high-level monks will only upgrade their natal magic weapon by one or two minor levels in their lifetime.
"The nail-headed arrow can be used as my hidden magic weapon. I use the real fire magic power to continuously cultivate and temper it. If it lasts for decades, I will charge up and hit it, and the ghosts and gods will definitely cry!"
Lu Changan's idea of conceiving it is similar to the treasure talisman.
Anyway, he seldom fights, and on weekdays he just warms up and injects energy into the nail-headed arrows.
At the critical moment, a fatal blow.
As for conventional magic weapons, that's easy to say.
In the past few decades, many real people died because of Lu Changan, and most of them were fake elixirs.
In addition, there are also the trophies of Master Lihuo, including two excellent magic weapons.
call!
Lu Changan raised his hand and floated in the air, and three magic weapons appeared in front of him.
From high to low, they are purple gourd, braided rope magic weapon and black ruler magic weapon.
The purple gourd is the best magic weapon of the fire system, suitable for use in the Nascent Soul stage.
Lu Changan was unable to control the true elixir at its early stage.
Secondly, the properties are not completely consistent.
However, wood generates fire, and its attributes are interdependent. It can also exert considerable power in the Nascent Soul stage.
The braided rope magic weapon is a top-grade magic weapon for trapping enemies, and can stimulate the power of thunder and lightning.
When the cultivation level is higher, it can be used as a means to trap the enemy.
The last Wu Chi magic weapon is an excellent low-grade magic weapon, suitable for use in forming elixirs.
This was Master Tan's magic weapon back then. It was very powerful, could be used both offensively and defensively, and was suitable for head-on fighting.
The Wu Chi magic weapon was refined by Lu Changan a few years ago.
In other words, the magic weapons that he is currently suitable for displaying are the Wu Chi magic weapon and the nail-head arrow.
"There are also third-level puppets for frontal combat, which are completely sufficient."
Lu Changan has no shortage of cannon fodder and life-saving abilities.
Nail-headed arrows enhance his attack and killing capabilities.
…
After completing the magic weapon sacrifice, Lu Changan has no shortcomings among the true elixir monks.
Then, he became more confident to go to Wangyue Fairy City.
Even when Zhang Tieshan transformed his elixir and reunited, he chose to stay in Wangyue Immortal City, which shows that it is safer there.
In order to avoid contact between the outside world and the previous two vests.
Lu Changan plans to conduct the third transformation of the golden elixir three years after the last elixir transformation.
It's been a year now.
While waiting, Lu Changan reached an agreement with Jin Yungu and became the guest elder of the sect.
In order to facilitate this matter, Zhang Tieshan made great efforts.
Jin Yungu is also very sincere and has very little restraint on Lu Changan.
Lu Changan does not need to go to the front line, he stays in the rear, enjoys most of the treatment of Elder Jiedan, is responsible for logistics, and refines talismans.
At most, they can help Jinyun Valley guard the industry and deter the scoundrels in the rear.
If Lu Changan wants to leave, Jin Yungu will never stop him.
However, before Lu Changan left, he had to inform him in advance.
Zhang Tieshan specifically warned about this and wrote it in the spiritual contract.
The conditions in Jinyun Valley are so relaxed.
Lu Changan's future cultivation will inevitably require third-level spiritual veins, so it is better to choose a familiar place.
However, Zhang Tieshan's "admonition" made him feel an unspeakable insult.
He warned me like this, as if I was about to run away at any moment.
Nowadays, in a world of chaos in the world of immortality, it is difficult to find a stable and comfortable third-level spiritual dojo, and Lu Changan will not run away easily.
Liang Guo was already at the rear of the battlefield.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhang. As long as the war does not reach the Liang Kingdom, Lu will defend Jinyun Valley to protect the safety of his disciples."
As a guest of Jinyun Valley, Lu Changan appropriately expressed his loyalty.
…
In the blink of an eye, nearly two years have passed.
Lu Changan spent a leisurely life as an elder in Jinyun Valley.
He has a high status, generous treatment, and enjoys a third-level spiritual cave on a mountain peak.
Young new disciples of the outer sect and beautiful female cultivators can be chosen by him as boys or maids to help take care of the cave.
The third-order spiritual veins of Jinyun Valley, after thousands of years of cultivation, can be regarded as medium-to-large third-order spiritual veins.
It can accommodate multiple True Alchemy monks at the same time without any pressure.
Spiritual veins of the same grade are also divided into scales.
This is completely different from the small third-level spiritual veins cultivated by those cultivating aristocratic families, which can accommodate at most one or two true elixir monks.
This day.
Lu Changan estimated that the time was still two months away from the planned three years.
In Jinyun Valley, the Great Elder and Zhang Tieshan both went to the front line.
The leader of Jinyun Sect, Master Xuanxiao, guards the sect.
Lu Changan informed Sect Master Jinyun that he would be away for a while in the name of visiting friends and purchasing supplies.
Lu Changan, the guest elder, is very free in Jinyun Valley.
Sect Master Jin Yun did not dissuade him in any way, but kindly reminded him:
"Master Lu, be careful when you go out."
"The power of the Demonic Wujian Sect has penetrated into several surrounding countries. A few days ago, a third-level alchemist from the Feng Kingdom, who was in the early stage of true elixir cultivation, went out alone and died unexpectedly. It is speculated that he was assassinated by the Wujian Sect."
