After Liu Ming heard the noise, he naturally stood up and stood aside, observing quietly.
But Jin Tianci was seen holding the array plate and circling a few circles around an open space. He looked up at the night sky from time to time and muttered something vaguely in his mouth.
Not long after, he suddenly took out a jade pen and began to draw on the ground.
After a long meal, the young man in golden robe was able to complete a symbol that looked extremely complicated. At first glance, it was quite mysterious, and it looked neither like words nor runes.
Then Jin Tianci raised his sleeves and a small golden flag flew out and was inserted directly on the symbol on the ground.
After doing all this, he continued to hold the formation plate and continued to carve with a jade pen at another place not far away.
After a few times, Liu Ming showed a look of surprise.
It turns out that each golden flag corresponds to a symbol pattern on the ground, and each symbol is obviously different.
After half a day's work, Jin Tianci completed the layout of the entire array.
Just as Liu Ming thought, the thirty-six golden flags, corresponding to the positions of the thirty-six magic circle symbols, formed a giant array.
It happened to be night at this time, and stars were looming in the sky. It was a good time to try to activate the magic circle to see if the arrangement was wrong.
Liu Ming naturally had no objection to this.
Jin Tianci immediately stood next to the magic formation, and kept moving the magic arts with both hands. He fired several magic arts one after another, and they were all submerged in the thirty-six formation flags.
"Puff" and "puff" sounds sounded one after another!
The symbols on the ground where the formation flag was located flashed up one by one, and before long, all thirty-six of them were lit up by Jin Tianci.
At the same time, Jin Tianci made a hand seal on his chest with his solemn hands, then pointed towards the sky and let out a low shout.
After the thirty-six-pole array flags shined brightly, they rose up in the wind and turned into a giant several feet high. At the same time, as the surrounding symbols flashed wildly, there was a scream from the center of the array, and a golden pillar of light shot into the sky and flashed.
It was fleeting and disappeared without a trace in the sky.
At this time, Jin Tianci walked slowly around the magic circle according to a certain pattern, uttering incantations continuously, and pointed his finger high in the air.
An amazing scene appeared.
Thirty-six huge flags were seen, amidst the buzzing sound, they began to tremble wildly, as if they were under some unspeakable huge pressure.
At the same time, in the dark sky pointed by the finger of the golden-robed young man, stars appeared out of thin air. As if being pulled by some kind of gravity, they fell from the sky one after another and were guided into the magic circle below with incomparable accuracy.
Not long after, little crystal lights flickered on the magic circle at Jin Tianci's feet, making him feel as if he was in a starry sky when viewed from a distance.
Liu Ming looked at the strange scene in front of him with some surprise.
The location here is also chosen correctly, and this magic circle can indeed attract the power of stars. But judging from the crystal light emitted by the stars, its density seems to be much different from what was mentioned in previous classics.
"Brother Liu, it seems that the arrangement of the starlight array is correct. However, the time today is not right, so the power of the stars attracted is not much. This power of the stars cannot help you refine the flying sword."
Just when Liu Ming was a little puzzled, Jin Tianci spoke.
"That's it." Liu Ming suddenly realized.
"Jin knows a little about the art of star deduction, and can calculate the specific time when the power of the stars will be strong or weak. Brother Liu, please wait a moment."
After saying that, Jin Tianci put away the formation disk in his hand. Then with a flick of his sleeve, he took out a strange blue formation disk and gently threw it into the void.
Immediately afterwards, he fired several spells in succession. After the formation disk, which was about a foot in size, spun around in the air, dots of stars suddenly appeared on its surface, which looked quite similar to the stars in the sky.
Jin Tianci frowned slightly, kept twirling his fingers, and muttered something in his mouth, as if he was calculating something.
After a long cup of tea, he relaxed his brows, raised the array disk in the air with a flick of his sleeves, and turned to Liu Ming and said.
"Brother Liu, after some deductions, Jin calculated that half a year from now will be the most suitable time of the year. This array can draw the greatest power of starlight."
"Half a year?" Liu Ming frowned when he heard this.
He didn't expect it would take so long.
However, it has been mentioned in previous classics that the power of starlight is directly related to the success rate of condensation of the body of the sword embryo. The greater the power of starlight, the greater the power that the body of the sword embryo can inspire.
"Okay, half a year is half a year, and then I'll have to ask Brother Jin." After Liu Ming's expression changed for a while, he finally nodded.
Next, Jin Tianci expressed his willingness to stay here to avoid being occupied by others after leaving, and to observe the movement of the stars at all times to avoid other unexpected changes in the remaining time.
Liu Ming naturally had no objection, and after saying a few more polite words, he made a sword gesture, stepped on the small green sword, and turned into a ray of blue light and flew towards the cave.
For him, it would be good if he could use half a year as a buffer, as he could use the Phantom Eyes to enter the illusion and simulate the power of starlight to refine the sword embryo body.
After returning to the cave, Liu Ming went straight into the secret room and sat cross-legged on a yellow futon in the center.
Then he released his spiritual consciousness to sweep the Sumeru Ring, and after confirming that the materials for refining the sword embryo body were complete, he slowly poured mana into the Huntian Monument in the sea of spiritual consciousness. After hearing a buzzing sound in his ears, he started again
Appeared in the mysterious space, and saw at a glance Luo Hu sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed under the Monument of Huntian Sky.
"Senior Luohu." Liu Ming stepped forward and bowed.
"You are going to enter the illusion this time and simulate the power of starlight to refine the body of the sword embryo, right?" Luo Hu opened his eyes slightly and asked calmly.
"Exactly, I hope senior can cast the spell." Liu Ming said respectfully.
Luo Hu nodded when he heard the words, raised one hand, and a magic weapon sank into the phantom demon pupil on the Hun Tian Monument.
After a flash of inspiration on the surface of the phantom demon pupil, calmness returned.
When Liu Ming saw this, he pointed at the center of his eyebrows and activated the Transforming Consciousness Insect to release his spiritual power and blend it into the Huntian Monument in front of him.
After absorbing enough spiritual power, the Phantom Eye slowly opened.
Liu Ming intuitively felt that the surrounding scenery was blurry. He was in a dark night filled with stars, and the surroundings were pitch black and blurry. But under his feet was a magic circle that was exactly the same as the one Jin Tianci had laid out before.
At this moment, the thirty-six runes are flickering, and in the surrounding void, there are really stars the size of rice grains suspended. Compared with the previous ones pulled by Jin Tianci, the density is many times higher. Come to think of it,
It should be similar to the situation half a year later.
"The simulation of this magic pupil is really lifelike!" Liu Ming moved his arm and grabbed a few nearby starlights in his hand, then loosened his fingers and murmured in his mouth.
He then sat cross-legged and took out a bunch of auxiliary materials needed for refining and a crystal jade box from the Sumeru Ring.
Inside the jade box is naturally the essence of meteorite gold.
Liu Ming opened the lid and looked solemnly at the golden crystal in the box. After taking a deep breath, he lightly patted the bottom of the box with his other hand.
A "whoosh" sound!
The meteorite essence flew out of the box and trembled, floating in front of his chest without moving.
At this time, Liu Ming pinched the magic formula with both hands, and the surrounding starlight instantly condensed, forming a pale white mist between his hands.
As the starlight gathered more and more, the white mist also condensed and grew larger. When it was as big as a head, the magic formula in his hand changed like a wheel.
The white mist actually transformed into a ball of raging white flames. But the surrounding void was extremely cold, as if there was no temperature at all.
Liu Ming raised one hand, and the fallen gold essence flashed down and fell into the white flames.
The essence of meteorite metal, which was originally impervious to water and fire, gradually began to melt within the envelope of milky white flames.
"This power of starlight is indeed wonderful." Liu Ming couldn't help but said to himself when he saw this, and continued to activate the magic.
About half an hour later, the meteorite essence was finally smelted into crystal water, with some miscellaneous small particles seeping out from the surface, and instantly turned to ashes in the white flames, dissipating into the void.
An hour later, the entire piece of meteorite gold essence finally stopped leaking impurities and turned into a small ball of golden liquid the size of a fist.
When Liu Ming saw this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and patted the ground with one hand. A breeze swept up the other auxiliary materials and flew them into the milky white flames.
Then he pressed the magic formula again, and another piece of starlight flew towards the white flame, and the fire suddenly became a little stronger than before.
These auxiliary materials were smelted by white flames and turned into a translucent liquid in just a moment.
At this time, he moved his fingers slightly, and the golden liquid above fell down. The two quickly merged into a ball, turning into a pale golden color.
"Condensation!"
Liu Ming softly uttered a word in his mouth and pointed a finger in the air.
The surrounding white flames rolled up, tightly wrapping the pale golden liquid.
His fingers shot out like wheels, without blinking, and his expression was solemn.
An hour later, streaks of golden light burst out from the white fire ball.
There was a loud "bang" sound.
The white flame exploded instantly, and an object with dim golden light fell out.
When Liu Ming saw this, he stopped holding the magic formula and shook his head slightly.
The first attempt to refine the body of the sword embryo obviously failed, but this was also expected...
He immediately closed his eyes and with a buzzing in his ears, he immediately exited the illusion, left the mysterious space in an instant, and reappeared in the cave.
Before this, he had repeatedly studied the method of smelting sword embryos in this book more than once, and calculated it countless times in his mind. Unexpectedly, he still failed when he actually put it into practice.
It seems that whether it is the control of the heat or the timing, repeated attempts are needed to achieve the best results and ensure the success of the refining.
After all, there is only one piece of meteorite essence, and the failure to smelt it is absolutely unacceptable to him.
In the following days, Liu Ming relied on his strong mental power and the assistance of the consciousness insects to enter the illusion every day, simulating the power of the starry sky array, and constantly practicing the skills of refining the sword body.
