Just the process of putting in the spiritual materials took two hours.
All the spiritual materials piled up on the ground disappeared, leaving only the nine swords that Li Kezhou once had.
At this time, the woman was holding the cauldron with both hands, and saw nine air currents in it, each showing nine colors. It was at this moment that the turmoil of the cauldron really began.
The cauldron gradually formed from illusory flames until it looked as if it were the same thing. It was accompanied by violent tremors, as if a savage beast was trapped in it.
The woman did not take the next step, but continued to stabilize the cauldron, as if she was patiently appeasing the evil creature inside.
This process made the two spectators, Li Kezhou, exhausted.
According to his perception, at least two more hours passed.
At this time, the furnace cauldron gradually stabilized, and the trembling sound was still there, but it was not as violent as before.
Beads of sweat appeared on the woman's forehead.
It seems that the critical moment has arrived.
The last nine swords flew into the furnace one after another. The swords disappeared and turned into nine sword auras. The sword energy flew in the furnace like wild horses, and the furnace was once again on the verge of collapse.
There are more beads of sweat on women's foreheads.
After that, it entered a long period of stability.
Several more hours passed.
The furnace tripod was on the verge of collapse several times, but the woman turned the tide and pulled it back.
Both Li Kezhou and Lin Xueluo can naturally see that the refining of the sword diagram has reached the most critical moment. If you are not careful, all your previous efforts will be wasted.
The two of them did not dare to breathe out, and even breathed slowly, for fear of affecting the woman's refining.
Finally! After no less than dozens of times, the furnace was pulled back from the edge of collapse, and the tremors finally subsided.
Although Li Kezhou is an outsider, he can somewhat understand that there is still a long way to go before the project is completed.
In the cauldron at this time, there were a total of nine groups of air currents of nine colors, plus nine sharp sword energies. As expected, there was still a difficult fusion.
As he expected, the nine sword energies merged into the nine-color air mass one after another, and a new round of crisis reappeared. This time it was more dangerous than any before.
The cauldron is cracking and green fire is shooting out.
When Lin Xueluo saw this, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. In his opinion, this time's refining was basically like the previous ones, and it would end in failure again.
When Li Kezhou saw this, he saw some clues. From beginning to end, this woman was doing the same thing, which was fusion.
Hundreds of spiritual materials were fused along the way, and finally arrived at this state.
(It shouldn’t be that simple. To put it bluntly, the sword diagram is a formation. If it relies solely on fusion, how can it form that mysterious power?)
He was very confused and looked at the woman.
To Lin Xueluo's expectation, the cauldron, which was already cracked and was about to collapse in the next moment, actually remained in this state.
Half an hour later, the cracked lines began to slowly repair until they completely disappeared.
At this time, the nine innate sword energies in the cauldron had completely disappeared and were perfectly integrated into the nine-color air mass. This undoubtedly meant that the woman had entered the next stage with difficulty.
(Have we reached the final stage yet?)
Li Kezhou was attracted.
The nine-color air masses are approaching each other, and this process is carried out with caution and trial and error.
(Nine qi are united into one, is this going to...)
Li Kezhou's heart suddenly pounded.
He now more or less understands that the nine kinds of air masses are basically nine runes. Everything he did before was to prepare for the fusion of the nine runes.
(Nine are combined into one to piece together a completely new rune pattern that has never been seen before. This is like combining different characters into one to form a whole-body text. The text is the sword diagram, and the way of piecing together the text is the so-called formation.
!)
He had some epiphany in his heart and quickly opened the eyes of his soul.
I have figured out the principle of the sword diagram, but there are more than ten million ways to put together the nine types of runes.
He wanted to use his soul's eyes to see clearly how the nine runes were put together, which was the so-called formation.
Nothing was beyond his expectation. Under the eyes of the soul, the nine kinds of air masses did contain nine runes, and these runes were being combined in pairs.
It was impossible to recombine the runes and runes, but it was precisely because of the previously seemingly cumbersome and complicated fusion process that this possibility was created.
Under his watch, first one pair was successfully combined, and then the next pair of runes were combined again after countless failures and attempts. The whole process was arduous and slow.
With the eyes of his soul open, he could no longer feel the passage of time. He could only observe the combination of runes and the method of combination.
From the first pair to the second pair, until the fourth pair successfully fused.
Under his gaze, the nine runes in the cauldron had been reduced to five.
The four runes that had just been successfully combined began a long process of combination again.
I don't know how much time passed, but the four runes were reduced to two.
This is obviously not over, the next step is the combination of these two runes.
What he saw in his eyes were runes, but in Lin Xueluo's eyes, he only saw nine colors of air masses. The air masses merged in pairs. It took dozens of times for the cauldron to almost collapse before it could be integrated to this extent.
.
Diehuang's face turned pale.
(It’s done!)
Li Kezhou exclaimed in his heart.
After a long wait, the eight runes were finally combined into one.
At this time, we finally came to the last step of this sword refining diagram.
There are nine runes in total, eight of them are combined into one, and the last one is left.
This rune is like the finishing touch. Once it succeeds, the dragon will live. If it fails, it will still be unable to escape the end of failure.
It is indeed the last stroke. Without the previous procrastination and testing, the last rune pattern is like a dot of heavy ink, which is directly clicked on the last part of the rune pattern.
"Buzz buzz..."
There was a buzz in the sky, and the whole room was shaking.
Suddenly! There was a click!
The wooden houses cracked rapidly like spider webs.
Yao Ling's body is weak and does not have the ability to kill. Once buried by broken wood, it will not be much different than if an ordinary person is covered up. The danger is still great.
Li Kezhou was here, so naturally he couldn't turn a blind eye. He waved his hand, and a sword wing appeared behind him. The big wing covered the two women.
Just as he finished his action, there was a loud bang and the wooden house collapsed.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
At this time, several Sword Academy disciples came from all directions outside.
Without exception, these people were all dressed in purple, and they obviously worked at Lingxian Villa.
Just now, there was a buzzing sound in the sky and the earth, and a large wooden house in the courtyard was cracked. After that, a group of people found the source of the sound and saw a collapse scene in front of them.
"Lord Diehuang is down there! Quick, save people..."
The faces of the group of people turned pale with shock.
Just as these people were about to take action, there was a sudden bang and the pile of wood was lifted up, revealing three uninjured figures among them.
Diehuang stood up weakly, and Lin Xueluo quickly moved forward to help her.
"My sword diagram has just been completed, so it caused strange phenomena in the world. I'm fine. You can step back."
Several disciples in purple, hearing the lingering power caused by the sword picture just now, looked at the woman's eyes with even more respect. After glancing at Li Kezhou calmly, they did not dare to say anything more and bowed and retreated.
Li Kezhou looked at the woman, smiled and said: "Congratulations to Miss Die, you have made the second sword diagram in your life, but can I let you watch it next?"
The woman didn't say much and took out something with her backhand.
It was an extremely solid nine-color haze, in which one could clearly see a flashing bright spot. Around the bright spot, nine demonic appearances loomed.
Among the nine kinds of demons, Li Kezhou saw the vicious dog he had killed.
He saw with the eyes of his soul that the spot of light was the brand new rune he had just assembled.
The so-called demon phase is naturally a monster holding nine talisman bones.
He could feel that although this thing looked beautiful, the murderous intention contained in it made his hair stand on end.
"This is the killing sword picture!"
He asked with burning eyes and unable to conceal his excitement.
The woman was about to say something when she turned and looked into the distance.
"Hahahaha! Master Diehuang is indeed a medicinal spirit with the title of Spirit King. In just one year, he actually refined the sword diagram for me! I, Jiang Ruoxu, will repay you."
With a voice that was obviously extremely excited, a graceful man appeared in front of the woman in a flash with a single step and a leap of ten feet.
As soon as he arrived, he seemed to have been robbed of his mind and stared at the sword diagram in the woman's hand.
She was entrusted by someone, so when the woman saw him appearing, she threw him away.
"This is the nine-kill sword map I promised you, and it can be considered as living up to your promise..."
The woman had no ill feelings toward Jiang Ruoxu. He had a good reputation as a gentleman and was generous. So he asked her for help this time and paid a heavy price.
Jiang Ruoxu quickly took it and stared at it for a moment. He seemed unable to suppress his inner excitement and laughed wildly: "Hahahaha... Okay! That's great. I, Jiang Ruoxu, never thought that one day I would own a sword diagram."
He suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked at the ruins in front of him, and said boldly: "The completion of the sword diagram has caused great losses to the master. I will pay a thousand swords and jade to rebuild the house for the girl. I will send someone to repair it tomorrow."
The woman did not refuse.
Jiang Ruoxu's eyes turned and came to Li Kezhou: "This...could it be the purple-clothed disciple who rescued the two disciples from the ruins this time?"
This person obviously regarded Li Kezhou as a disciple serving in another academy.
"This contribution is too great. I will reward you with five hundred kendama. I will keep it..."
After he finished speaking proudly, he took out a bag and threw it casually.
Li Kezhou weighed it in his hand and said with a smile: "I heard that Jiang Ruoxu, the chief of the North Academy, is a very heroic man and spends money like dirt. Today he really lives up to his name."
"Um?"
Jiang Ruoxu was not angry when Li Kezhou called him by his first name. Instead, he looked at him in surprise.
In the past experience, when the purple-clothed disciples saw him, they were all respectful and as quiet as ice.
But this man was calm and talkative, which made him feel a little surprised.
