Half an hour later, Shi Mu took Parrot Cai'er back to the cave at the top of Peak No. 5.
"Shitou, the environment here is quite good, much better than Fatty Ju's broken stone building!" As soon as Cai'er entered the cave, her eyes lit up, and she immediately spread her wings and flew around the spacious cave hall, shouting loudly.
"Well, in that case, I reluctantly stayed." Cai'er flew for a while and landed next to Shi Mu, tilting her head and looking at Shi Mu.
"I don't have a bird cage here, you can do it yourself." Shi Mu frowned and said.
He already regretted agreeing to take in this noisy parrot. Along the way, its mouth almost never stopped, giving him a headache.
In addition, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the parrot always called his name wrong. After correcting it several times, it still remained the same, and he was too lazy to say it again.
After saying that, he walked into his secret room without waiting for the parrot to answer.
"Although this place is bigger than the birdcage, it's boring to fly here all the time. I have to go out for a walk every day to get some fresh air..." The parrot's voice came reluctantly, but it didn't say anything.
Finally, there was a "snap" of the door closing, blocking the sound outside.
Shi Mu took a long breath, with a wry smile on his face, and walked into the secret room.
After sitting down cross-legged on the bed, he silently activated the Yun Shen Technique, and it took a while before his mind calmed down.
Shi Mu opened his eyes, and there were faint strands of golden light flashing.
After becoming a spiritual level sorcerer, the mana in his Dantian has reached a considerable scale, and is faintly mixed with the true energy, giving his Dantian a strange feeling of both coolness and warmth.
These thoughts just flashed through Shi Mu's mind. He waved his hand and took out a jade box. After opening it, what was inside was the poison sac of the golden lizard.
Shi Mu carefully placed it on the ground, waved his hand, and several white porcelain bottles appeared on the ground.
He picked up the poison sac and carefully pricked a small hole with a needle. A light yellow liquid immediately flowed out, and a sour and fishy smell came from it.
Shi Mu quickly caught it with a porcelain bottle...
After a while, the poison sac dried up after all the venom had drained out, and three more porcelain bottles filled with venom appeared in front of Shi Mu. They were enough to burn the talisman array later.
He carefully put the porcelain bottle into the storage ring, waved his hand and took out a blue jade slip, which was the "Mysterious Talisman" that he had exchanged in the Lingfa Hall.
Shi Mu put the jade slip against his forehead, penetrated it with his spiritual power, and began to comprehend it carefully.
…
One day two months later.
At dawn, Shi Mu left his cave.
During this period of time, he has memorized all the intermediate talisman formations and runes in the Mysterious Talismans, and through constant attempts, he has initially mastered the drawing of five or six types of intermediate talisman formations.
Intermediate talisman formations generally consist of more than twelve runes, and are far more difficult than primary talisman formations, but this is not a problem for Shi Mu.
During this period, he also sold a batch of mid-level talismans through various methods to markets inside and outside the sect, in exchange for two mid-level spiritual stones and more than 800,000 taels of silver.
Half an hour later, when Shi Mu just appeared outside Zhao's blacksmith shop, Zhao Ping trotted out to greet him.
"Senior Brother Shi, I have been working hard day and night on the weapon you wanted, and it was finally completed three days ago." Zhao Ping stepped forward to claim the credit with a smile on his face.
"Brother Zhao, thank you for your hard work. Let's go and admire your craftsmanship!" Shi Mu's eyes flashed with joy and he smiled.
"Please come in quickly!" Zhao Ping chuckled and quickly led the way.
At this time, the blacksmith shop has not yet opened, but there are five or six strong and strong men in the shop who are either busy sorting things or lighting the fire for the iron forge. There are also many semi-finished or finished weapons of various kinds piled in the shop, more than two months ago.
It looks a lot more like before.
Shi Mu followed Zhao Ping and soon arrived at his dedicated fire room.
As soon as he entered the door, a wave of hot air hit his face. The blazing white flames on the indoor stove rolled like waves, and even the air above the flames had faint ripples.
Shi Mu glanced around and saw a long knife and a short stick about three feet long placed side by side on the casting platform not far away. They were all black.
"Senior Brother Shi, the blade of this long knife is three feet six inches, and the handle is one foot two inches. It weighs more than nine hundred kilograms. The short stick is three feet four inches long and weighs more than one thousand kilograms. There are screw teeth on one end, which can be connected to the long knife.
The total length of the Mo Dao composed of the two is eight feet." Zhao Ping stood beside the casting table and introduced the long knife and short stick.
Shi Mu took a closer look, and saw that the short stick was as thick as a child's arm, and the whole body was round. There was a faint black light flowing on the black stick, and the details of the screw teeth were also handled just right, which fully demonstrated Zhao Ping's superb level.
The entire short stick is dark and heavy, making people feel quite heavy at first glance.
Shi Mu stretched out his hand to hold up the short roller and slashed it into the air.
"Hoo" a heavy sound broke through the air!
A black shadow flew down, and the strong wind stirred up took Zhao Ping's breath away.
Seeing how powerful Shi Mu's casual blow was, Zhao Ping couldn't help but have a flash of horror in his eyes.
Shi Mu didn't care about Zhao Ping's thoughts. He weighed the short stick in his hand with satisfaction, and then picked up the long black knife beside him. His hand felt heavy when he took it.
The newly made black meteorite iron knife is longer and wider than before, and its shape is also slightly different. The blade is straight and wide, with a sharp blade. The dark black blade has no decoration, making it appear simple and unpretentious, but also murderous.
The handle of the knife is round, with a cavity as thick as an arm at the end, which is used to connect a short stick.
"What a knife!" A hint of joy flashed in Shi Mu's eyes, and he couldn't help but praise.
"Senior Brother Shi, thank you for the award!" Zhao Ping looked at his proud work and beamed with joy.
Shi Mu moved his left and right hands at the same time, connecting the short stick with the handle of the long knife. He then rotated his hands slightly, and soon a long-handled broadsword about eight feet long and domineering appeared in front of him.
The weight of nearly two thousand kilograms makes him feel quite comfortable now.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed, and after taking a few steps back, he raised the sword in both hands, his true energy penetrated his arms to the tip of the sword, and then slashed down with the sword.
"Boom" sounded in the air!
A black knife shadow fell straight down like the top of a mountain, and the heavy wind made a muffled sound.
Just when the blade of the blade was less than a foot away from the ground, Shi Mu twisted his arms and the blade suddenly stopped halfway without falling. However, a white mark still appeared on the solid black stone ground.
"Okay! Only Senior Brother Shi can use such a heavy weapon with such ease!" Zhao Ping, who was watching from the side, said in shock.
Regardless of other things, the power of the last hand to close the sword is definitely not something ordinary people can do, let alone a weapon weighing nearly two thousand kilograms.
"Brother Zhao, you are really good at your craftsmanship. This knife is very handy. I would like to take the opportunity to carve some talismans. How about I lend you this fire room for my own use?" Shi Mu said.
"Of course there is no problem." Zhao Ping glanced enviously at the Chenmiao Ring in Shi Mu's hand and agreed. Then he explained to Shi Mu the techniques for using the Sun-Gathering Formation on the forging furnace and the precautions for refining the talisman.
Matters come.
The Sun Gathering Array on the stove was mainly used to adjust the temperature of the flame in the stove. The method was very simple and Shi Mu mastered it quickly. Upon seeing this, Zhao Ping said goodbye and left.
Soon only Shi Mu was left in the fire room. He took out a porcelain bottle containing the golden lizard venom from his arms, then turned to face the stove. According to Zhao Ping's description, after embedding the spirit stone, his five fingers changed and pointed towards the stove.
The Juyang Formation produced a set of magic formulas.
The flames on the stove gradually grew larger and the temperature became higher and higher under Shi Mu's control.
When the flame turned into a faint blue, he clamped the short stick with a pair of large tongs about ten feet long and put it into the stove.
…
Half an hour later, the temperature on the stick gradually cooled down. At the same time, a green light emitted, and the wind elements in the air fluctuated strongly. A formation composed of nearly twenty complex cyan runes appeared on the stick.
This formation is called the Wind Shadow Formation, and it is an intermediate-level wind-attributed talisman formation. Shi Mu just stacked six layers in one go. In the center of the stick, there is also a mid-level spirit stone with a green light embedded in it.
He looked at the short stick in his hand that had been upgraded to an intermediate magical weapon, and nodded with satisfaction. Then he put down the short stick, grabbed the black meteorite knife next to it with a pair of pliers, and threw it into the furnace again.
…
After another half an hour, the power of the fire element in the fire room fluctuated abnormally, and a line of fiery red mysterious runes was engraved on the body of the meteorite black sword.
Like the short stick, the Burning Cloud Talisman Array on the Meteor Iron Black Knife is also a mid-level Talisman Array. It is also stacked in six layers, and the hilt is also inlaid with a medium-grade fire attribute spiritual stone.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed, and he first cast a spell to lower the temperature of the stove.
Then he took out two black cloth bags from the Chen Miao ring, wrapped the short stick and the black meteorite knife, crossed them and carried them behind his back, and then Shi Shiran opened the door and walked out.
Seeing Shi Mu come out, Zhao Pingwuwu came to see him off. Although he was quite curious about what became of the weapons behind Shi Mu, he didn't dare to ask more questions since Shi Mu didn't tell him.
After Shi Mu forced the 600,000 taels of silver notes to Zhao Ping, he left.
The top of Peak No. 5.
Shi Mu stood with a calm expression under a big tree as thick as a human waist. There were many stones scattered around it, the largest of which was seven or eight feet high.
In his left hand, he held a short iron stick about three feet long, and there was a long black knife stuck on the ground beside him.
Shi Mu's Qi Luck Dantian, when he pressed the iron short stick in his hand, the green runes on the surface of the short stick immediately lit up, and a layer of green light quickly enveloped the entire stick.
His eyes focused on the tree, he leaned forward, and swung the short stick in his hand suddenly at the waist. The stick blurred and struck the tree with a flash of green light.
"Boom" a loud noise!
The place where the tree body was hit exploded with a bang, and the tree body, which was more than ten feet high, fell down after a burst of crackling sounds.
Shi Mu's eyes were filled with joy. After blessing the six-layer wind shadow formation, the speed of the Meteor Iron Short Stick might not be able to be avoided by ordinary early-stage innate masters, and its weight plus his own arm strength made it even more powerful than the early-stage innate ones.
