Shi Mu's eyes fell on the stove, and he saw a circle of fiery red runes burned on the stove, forming a magic circle and emitting a faint fluctuation of magic power.
"This is the Sun Gathering Formation that I specially invited an formation master from the sect to set up, which can increase the temperature of the flames." Zhao Ping saw the surprise in Shi Mu's eyes and explained.
Shi Mu nodded. With the help of this formation, the chance of success this time is much greater.
"Actually, after I made this black meteorite sword, I also thought about refining it into a magic weapon. The basic steps have almost been figured out, but firstly, I took into account the weight of the sword, and secondly, there are still some shortcomings.
The golden lizard venom has been transformed into it. Junior Brother Shi should also have in-depth research on the art of weapon refining, so I would like your advice." Zhao Ping took out a bound book from his arms with a smile and handed it to Shi Mu.
"Don't take it seriously. I've been looking around for a lot of books and information on refining magic weapons in the past few days. I just want to discuss it with Senior Brother Zhao." A trace of surprise flashed in Shi Mu's eyes, he took the book and said with a smile.
He immediately opened the book, read it carefully, and discussed with Zhao Ping the steps for refining the weapon.
Shi Mu is not proficient in casting, but his understanding of formation runes is far from Zhao Ping's.
After the two discussed for more than half an hour, they finally finalized the process of division of labor and cooperation.
"By the way, I still don't know what kind of talisman Brother Shi wants to engrave on the black sword?" Zhao Ping suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Fire Flame Talisman Array." Shi Mu said without any hesitation.
"Fire Flame Talisman Array! As far as I know, this Talisman Array is composed of twelve runes and is one of the most complex low-level Talisman Arrays." Zhao Ping was a little surprised.
"Not bad." Shi Mu said with a faint smile. He decided on this talisman formation after careful consideration.
There are not many talisman formations that he can draw at present. The Fierce Flame Talisman Array is the most powerful one. He has drawn it on the talisman many times and is already quite familiar with it. In addition, the Meteor Iron Black Sword is extremely heavy. If the Fierce Flame Talisman is added
The explosion attribute of the formation can greatly increase Shi Mu's instant attack power.
"Since Junior Brother Shi has made up his mind, he must be quite confident, so let's just follow what Junior Brother said." Seeing that Shi Mu had made up his mind, Zhao Ping nodded and started to adjust the flame of the furnace.
Shi Mu also took out the black meteorite knife he was carrying and handed it to Zhao Ping.
Zhao Ping still needs to do the preliminary work, and he is responsible for the later drawing of the talisman formation.
The flames on the stove gradually grew larger under Zhao Ping's control, and the temperature in the entire secret room became higher and higher.
When the flames reached a certain level, Zhao Ping used a large tong about ten feet long to clamp the black meteorite knife and put it into the stove.
Then he took out two fiery red crystal stones from his arms with some pain, and it turned out to be two low-grade fire spirit stones, embedded in the two holes of the formation on the stove.
Boom!
The formation runes on the stove suddenly lit up, emitting bursts of dazzling red light, and the flames in the stove suddenly trembled, shrinking a bit, but the flames became purer, and the heat emitted suddenly increased.
twice as much.
Zhao Ping's back was already soaked with sweat, and big beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead and cheeks from time to time, but he seemed not to notice it, staring at the black knife in the flames with bright eyes, and skillfully flipping it in his hand.
.
Time passed little by little, and after half an hour, the black knife in the flame gradually turned red.
Shi Mu stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his face, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
If it were not for the stove blessed by such a gathering sun formation, ordinary stoves would probably not be able to make this knife hot.
Zhao Ping's face was extremely solemn, and he stared at the change of the black knife. After a moment, his eyes suddenly widened. He grabbed the tongs, clamped the black knife away from the flame, and placed it on the casting platform aside.
"Venom!" He shouted lowly and stretched out his hand.
Shi Mu quickly handed over the porcelain bottle containing the golden lizard venom.
Zhao Ping took the porcelain bottle and gave a low drink. A faint red light appeared on his body, especially in the palms of his hands. A wave of heat began to spread, forming a faint fiery whirlwind around his body.
There was a strange look in Shi Mu's eyes. The technique that Zhao Ping practiced was obviously of the fire attribute. Looking at his aura, his cultivation was far superior to Bai Shi's Zhiyang Kung Fu.
Zhao Ping opened the cork of the porcelain bottle and carefully tilted the bottle mouth. Suddenly, a stream of light yellow viscous liquid dripped down and landed on the red meteorite black knife.
He shouted lowly, and a red light suddenly appeared in his palm, covering the black knife like a flame.
The sound of "chichi" sounded!
The yellow liquid changed rapidly under the control of Zhao Ping's true energy, and soon turned into a yellow film as thin as a cicada's wings, completely covering the surface of the meteorite black knife.
"Okay! Now the surface of the meteorite black knife has begun to soften under the action of high temperature and venom. Once its temperature cools down, the hardness will return to its original state. Junior Brother Shi, burn the talisman array quickly!" The red light in Zhao Ping's palm suddenly dissipated,
He took a step back with a pale face and said.
Shi Mu was already waiting aside and took out a red magic pen.
This magical pen is a specially made thing. The tip of the pen is extremely hard. It is different from the pen used when drawing talismans. It is specially used to draw talisman formations when refining magical instruments.
Shi Mu took a deep breath, placed the magic pen in his hand on the crimson sword, and turned his wrist steadily and flexibly.
At this time, his eyes had already turned pale gold, and since his back was to Zhao Ping, he was naturally not worried about being discovered by the other party.
But as he turned his wrist and breathed slowly, one rune after another slowly appeared on the blade.
After a meal, twelve runes emerged, forming a complete fiery flame array.
When Shi Mu finished the last stroke, the entire talisman formation suddenly glowed with a faint red light, emitting a wave of fire-attributed mana.
"Success!"
Zhao Ping on the side was overjoyed when he saw this and couldn't help but let out a cheer.
However, Shi Mu had no intention of stopping at this moment. With a turn of his wrist, the red pen landed on the first rune of the Fierce Flame Talisman Array, and he started carving again.
"Junior Brother Shi, you...you want to superimpose the talisman formation..." Zhao Ping was dumbfounded and murmured in a low voice.
Shi Mu was so focused at the moment that he didn't seem to hear Zhao Ping's words at all.
Zhao Ping took a deep breath and looked at Shi Mu with a strange look in his eyes.
When refining a magic weapon, it is true that the power of the magic weapon can be enhanced by stacking talisman arrays, but stacking talisman arrays is extremely demanding for the talisman master.
The overlapping talisman arrays must be exactly the same. As long as there is a slight deviation in any of the runes, the burned talisman array will completely collapse and the entire magic weapon will be scrapped.
It is already extremely difficult to burn talisman arrays on weapons. Superimposing talisman arrays is something that even skilled talisman masters rarely dare to try.
After all, there is a huge difference in difficulty between burning two talisman arrays and burning two identical talisman arrays.
Shi Mu's eyes exuded a faint golden light, and there was no hesitation in his movements. Not long after, the second talisman array was drawn.
The red light flashed for a while, and the talisman array on the blade was obviously much brighter than the first time.
Zhao Ping exhaled a long breath, his anxious heart finally relieved. Just as he was about to speak, his face suddenly stiffened again.
(Wangyu has to go out to do errands in the afternoon and will probably not be able to get home until very late, so I posted the two chapters together!)
