As the only expert in the world who has mastered Nanming's Lihuo, Wu Jie is doomed to a life of hard work. When he had just recovered from the exhaustion of refining massive amounts of Earth Flame Copper, another big task was pressed down on him.
"Here, that's it." Taotu took out a sturdy magic weapon box. Inside the box were dark brown leather bags one after another.
At first glance, leather bags look ordinary, but if they weren't filled with mana and brilliance, they would be no different from bags used by ordinary travelers.
This thing is called a storage bag, and it is a temporary storage device. The advantage is that it is easy to manufacture and has a large capacity. The disadvantage is that the time it takes effect is too short - most storage devices can be used normally for hundreds of years.
A few can be used for at least a hundred years, but storage bags can generally only be used for three to five years.
This is because of the difference in materials. The material used in the storage bag is very low-grade monster skin. This material itself is unstable and the purity of the physical properties is quite poor. Therefore, over time, the mixed physical properties will cause the storage bag to become
The magic power of the physical magic circle is messy and scattered, and eventually loses its effect.
At that time, the space inside the storage bag will directly collapse, and all the things stored inside will fall out - of course, usually debris, because few things can withstand the terrible destructive force produced when the space collapses.
Inside this box, there are many storage bags stacked one after another. A quick count shows that there are ten in total.
Wu Jie picked up a bag and untied it, glanced inside with his consciousness, and his expression suddenly changed.
He saw a pile of blue-gray stones, each one two feet square, stacked on top of each other, making the pile larger than a room.
After hesitating for a moment, he picked up another storage bag, the contents of which were exactly the same as this one.
"What's going on?" He couldn't help but ask, "Why are there so many?"
Judging from the expression on his face, it was clear that Tao Tu wanted to laugh. But he also knew that if he laughed at this time, it would be a bit like gloating - there is no harm in doing such things as gloating, but it is not kind enough to show it in person.
.So he finally suppressed his smile and explained to Wu Jie in detail.
The blue-gray color is called cloud steel stone. This stone is produced on the Gangfeng of Jiutian. Its predecessor is the fallen stars. Whenever stars fall, they are often broken in the Gangfeng. Some of them are particularly strong.
, not even strong winds can damage it. Some of the fragments themselves have a special texture, which interacts with the Qi of the Kyushu earth and floats in the air without falling, forming countless large and small fragments.
Such fragments tend to condense and form mountains floating in the strong wind. If a monk starts from the ground and breaks out of the strong wind layer through some special nodes, then these floating mountains will be the natural foothold.
You can let them rest in the middle.
However, as meteorites continue to increase in the sky, these floating debris are also increasing. In order to prevent them from increasing too much and causing unnecessary danger, some sects that build their mountain gates in the Gangfeng layer will clean them regularly.
The fragments were gathered together and tempered with real fire to form cloud steel stone.
Cloud steel stone is light and strong, and also has the strange nature of being repelled by the land of Kyushu, so it is the best material for making floating buildings. What the clay brings is the inventory collected by Qingyang Temple over the years.
"The master's intention is to let me temper them with Nanming Lihuo, purify their physical properties, and create a floating platform that can go outside the Gangfeng atmosphere?" Wu Jie nodded slightly when he heard the words, roughly guessing.
"That's right, after discussion, the elders of each sect decided to build thirty-six floating platforms so that the monks who were heading outside the Gangfeng Circle could have a place to rest on the way." Tao Tu relayed the orders of the teachers, "It's just that
To create such a floating magic platform, the strength of the cloud steel stones themselves is not enough, and they are not very suitable for engraving magic circles..."
Wu Jie smiled and took out a cloud steel stone.
This stone looks like a very heavy piece in the storage bag, but it is extremely light in the hand. Moreover, there is a strange power growing on it, like the same-sex repulsion of magnets, vaguely related to the stone under the feet.
The earth repels it and seems to want to fly towards the sky.
Wu Jie used his true energy to restrain it, and he didn't need any additional exercises. Just a flash of fire in his eyes, and a colorless, invisible, almost invisible flame appeared on his hand.
Here is Nanming Lihuo, one of the most wonderful flames in the world. It is not high in temperature, not strong in intensity, and can hardly burn anything. However, it has the power of creation and can stimulate the hidden potential of various substances, whether in alchemy or alchemy.
It can exert powerful effects in refining weapons.
Throughout the ages, if monks want to obtain Nanming Lihuo, they can only continuously create various flames in the furnace, let them devour each other and fuse to condense the essence of Lihuo. Then use the essence of Lihuo as a carrier to
The infinite mana brings out the unpredictable power of creation for the matchmaker. The power of creation will naturally merge with the essence of Lihuo, forming Nanming Lihuo.
Nanming Lihuo is not easy to come by. The cost of manufacturing the essence of Lihuo is extremely high, and whether the power of creation will appear is purely a matter of luck. Therefore, once each sect creates Nanming Lihuo, it will take a very short time.
Just use it up - there are too many things you want to temper!
However, for Wu Jie, it is not difficult to obtain Nanming Lihuo. He can use the Fire Department Zhengfa to condense the essence of Lihuo, and then use the World of Heavenly Book to decompose various things to extract the power of creation. In theory, there is no problem in making as many as he wants.
This matter is the secret of Qingyang Temple. Although many people in the sect know about it, no one will leak it.
The same principle applies to the world of immortal cultivators. If all the sects in the world knew that Wu Jie had such miraculous abilities, even if they did not come to trouble him, just the people who came to ask for help would.
The gate of Qingyang Mountain was flattened!
Not to mention anything else, the fact that our sect urgently needed the materials purified by Nan Ming Lihuo made Wu Jie busy every day and every night for several months.
Since then, the masters of our sect have not bothered him again. According to the master of the sect, this was a fate. When Wu Jie refined Nanming Lihuo, it was a fate, but now that the backlog of materials at that time has been processed
, the fate of that time is over. Everyone should be content and not bother him anymore with nothing to do.
But this Star Reaching operation is of great importance. The more prepared you are, the more likely it is to succeed. And if it can succeed, it will be a supreme charity that benefits the people. So the leader issued an order to let Wu
Jie temporarily put down other things at hand and concentrated on refining materials.
Of course, it is said to the outside world that Qingyang Temple has opened the secret treasure left by the ancestor, one of which stores a large number of Nanming Lihuo magic weapons. This time, Qingyang Temple will not hesitate to consume all these precious Nanming Lihuo for the sake of the world.
…
Well, whether others believe it or not, that’s what it says!
As for how a magic weapon can store so much Nanming Lihuo - Qingyang Guan was one of the five disciples of the Holy Mountain in the past. There are some miraculous things, so why is it surprising! Didn't you see that the entire sect of Baidi Pavilion was flying around in the sky?
Go! They are the five Taoists of the Holy Mountain. They can be high-end and classy. Why can’t Qingyang Temple be low-key, luxurious and connotative?
While Wu Jie was thinking wildly, he activated Nanming Lihuo to continuously refine the cloud steel stone. After about a quarter of an hour, the two-foot-square cloud steel stone was refined into a thin stone slab.
At this time, the original blue-gray cloud steel stone has become crystal clear, like fine white jade. The patterns on it layer by layer are like flowing clouds, showing a natural and elegant charm. If you observe carefully, you can still see
There is a strange luster inside the stone slab that is slowly changing, which makes people fascinated and beautiful.
"Eh?! I never thought that that gray stone could be refined into something so beautiful!" Although he witnessed the entire refining process with his own eyes, Tao Tu couldn't help but marvel. He took it from Wu Jie's hand.
That thin stone slab, but
Because of his miscalculation, he almost flew away from his hand - the stone slab seemed heavy at first glance, but in fact it was violently repelling the earth. If he hadn't reacted in time, he would have flown directly out at this moment, straight up to the heavy ground.
The sky is gone!
Clay grasped the stone slab firmly and studied it carefully.
The more he studied, the more surprised he became and couldn't help but marvel.
Although this stone slab is very thin, it is unimaginably strong. Even without any processing, it is already comparable to many defensive magic weapons; and the flying power it contains can derive many ingenious uses. What is even more amazing is that
, he could feel that the rhythm of the flowing luster in the stone slab was very special, and seemed to be secretly consistent with certain laws between heaven and earth. If he could understand it carefully, it might be beneficial to his practice!
Tao Tu's cultivation level is not high. He has been cultivating Taoism for nearly forty years and has just entered the realm of Tongyou. But he is good at refining weapons and his understanding and application of physical properties are not only second to none among the twenty-seventh generation disciples of Qingyang Temple, but also many elders.
Out of reach.
In his eyes, this slate, which was refined from cloud steel stone, is nothing less than a natural treasure that can tap endless potential!
"Oh... I feel now that using this thing to refine some kind of floating magic platform is such a waste of resources!" He couldn't help but sigh, "This kind of good thing should be used to refine magic weapons or other things.
That 'floating altar' is just a few stepping boards to put it bluntly, it's not worth using such good materials to make!"
"The master's decision must be justified." Wu Jie, who was refining the second cloud steel stone, said calmly, "If you really think it's a waste, you can take this stone back and report it. Let's take a look.
Does the old man have anything to say?"
Taotu nodded, put away the slate, turned around and drove away with the cyan escape light. The color of the escape light was dark and not bright, but its speed was extremely fast, far beyond the level of the Tongyou realm, and it was comparable to refining.
The speed of Gang monk soaring through the clouds and mist.
The core idea of the Qingmu Immortality Technique he practiced was to "preserve life." Therefore, although his progress in cultivation was quite slow, it had extraordinary advantages in extending life and seeking good luck and avoiding evil. What is the difference between gains and losses?
It's hard to say.
Which of the supreme skills that can be included in the first level of Qingyang Temple is not wonderful!
Wu Jie watched the pottery go away in a blink of an eye, admired his speed of escape, and then began to concentrate on refining it.
He didn't know how much material was needed to build the thirty-six floating altars, but he thought that the more the better. Even if there were too many to use up, this kind of stone slab, which had been purified by Nanming Lihuo and activated various magical functions, was also an excellent material.
According to the repeated calculations of many immortal masters, it is still about half a year before the comet passes across the sky - although I don't know why it is much later than the originally calculated time, but no matter how late it is, it will still be there after all.
Coming.
Before that, if he could prepare more fully, he would have a clear conscience even if he did not succeed in the end.
In life, you may not be able to get everything as you want, but at least you should have a clear conscience!
This was the final result of the turmoil in the Chu Kingdom a few years ago.
After a fierce battle, countless Kraken corpses floated into the sea. For more than half a month, the corpses of Kraken could still be seen on the sea outside Changning City from time to time. And the wreckage that was hit by the waves on the beach made many people smell it.
The monks who came from the wind received countless benefits.
The corpses of these little monsters may not seem worth mentioning to Wu Jie and Lin Ye, but they are quite valuable to monks who have just entered the path of cultivation.
The monk is an extraordinary nourishing holy product - the premise is that you must be careful not to be poisoned.
Wu Jie and others did not stop the treasure-hunting journey of these Taoist monks, but only reminded them that this great opportunity and great fortune actually came from the Great Chu State. They owed the favor of the Great Chu State. If there is a chance in the future, they must
Remember to repay.
Wu Jie was so dedicated to the Chu Kingdom, which puzzled Lin Ye. He found an opportunity to break through the Ning Yuan in this battle. Zhu Wen Wudi, who was about to find a place to retreat, sneered at him as "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, don't do it...
…" But they didn't know that Wu Jie was actually just fulfilling an unfulfilled wish for the old man who had left no trace.
This time there are so many monks who owe the Chu Kingdom a favor, and even if only one tenth of them repays their kindness, it is still a rather astonishing number. With these powerful figures helping secretly, the Chu Kingdom will be in trouble for many years to come.
I should be able to live a relatively peaceful life in ten years.
To bless the great Chu Kingdom with peace and tranquility is the last wish of Senior Ji, as well as the last wish of Lin Lushan and Emperor Tianyou.
On that stormy night, the three most important figures of the Great Chu Kingdom passed away. The old swordsman who protected the country, the important minister who supported the country, and the emperor who managed the country.
Unlike Ji's predecessors who left without leaving a trace, the funeral of Lin Lushan and Emperor Tianyou was very large. According to Emperor Tianyou's edict, his tomb was divided into three parts. The main mausoleum in the south belonged to him and the queen who had passed away long ago, and the main mausoleum in the northeast belonged to him and the queen who had passed away long ago.
The auxiliary mausoleum belongs to Prime Minister Lin Lushan, while the auxiliary mausoleum in the northwest is empty, seemingly to commemorate someone.
Some people speculated that this was reserved for the two princes who died under the collapsed altar that night, and it was indeed arranged this way. But only Wu Jie knew that Emperor Tianyou's original design was actually to turn that sub-tomb into
Leave it to Senior Ji.
These three people, one civil, one military, and one emperor, supported the Chu Kingdom through a period of calm on the surface, but in fact very difficult years on the inside. Emperor Tianyou must have been very touched when he designed his mausoleum.
But he probably didn't expect that the three of them would die one after another on the same night...
Because of the injuries caused by the failure of the ceremony, although Lin Lushan and Emperor Tianyou were rescued, they were seriously injured and died without leaving any last words. The new emperor who succeeded to the throne treated the deceased with extreme seriousness and respect.
The prime minister even held the disciple's ceremony when sending Lin Lushan's coffin into the mausoleum, and walked with Lin Xiao holding the coffin on the left and right, making him extremely sad and honorable.
But even so, there is still a lack of praise for Linlu Mountain among scholars.
The reason was naturally that the new literature promoted by Lin Lushan greatly hindered them, making them feel deeply humiliated and at the same time feel a heavy sense of crisis.
If literature is not in the hands of scholars, then they will lose their natural pride and an important basis for being superior. This may be a good thing for the Chu country and the world as a whole, but it is definitely a bad thing for the literati.
Therefore, even with the respect of His Majesty the Emperor, criticisms of Lin Lushan continued to spread among the scholars. Some of them were arrogant and rude, and their words were so unpleasant that Wu Jie couldn't help but get angry and wanted to beat him up.
However, he did not take action because someone moved faster than him.
When Lin Xiao heard the news, this young man with a somewhat extreme personality set out overnight and killed six well-known literati in one night.
"It is a sworn hatred to insult your parents with words that are disrespectful! Although Lin was born to seek immortality, he dare not stand side by side with such a hateful person in the world!" A few days later, one of his words spread throughout the nine states, "
I can't stop the mouths of people in the world, but I will never let go of those who insult my father! If you want to take advantage of me, please don't complain when you are decapitated by a sword light in the future!"
These words were extremely vicious, and his actions had proved that he was a man of his word. As a result, the almost uproar of criticism quickly subsided. Even though literati everywhere had complaints in their hearts, they did not dare to
Talk nonsense again.
"I am a half-demon. As long as I don't perish on the path of seeking the Tao, I should have no problem living for two or three thousand years." When Wu Jie asked, Lin Xiao replied, "In two or three thousand years, my father's theory should have become popular in the world.
No matter what the time is, it doesn’t matter.”
Seeing the layer of causal blood rising from his most qualified disciple, and thinking of his second disciple who died in that battle and couldn't even recover his body, Wu Jie couldn't help but sigh secretly...
A few days later, Taotu returned and brought the master's oral instructions.
"Let's do it this way. Although it is indeed a bit wasteful, we at Qingyang Guan have always been low-key. If we indulge once in a while, others won't have any objections."
After receiving this order, Wu Jie went all out and accelerated the progress of refining Yun Gang Stone.
The mission to reach the stars is not far away, so hurry up now!
