The life of secular people is indeed very different from that of immortal cultivators. It is full of joys and sorrows, birth, old age, illness and death.
In just a few years of observation, Bai Ran felt many long-forgotten feelings, including both positive and negative emotions.
But no matter which one, it touched Bai Ran's state of mind to a certain extent, allowing him to experience it again and understand and reflect on himself from the perspective of an immortal cultivator.
At the same time, his level of refining equipment and his understanding of battle tactics gradually improved over time.
The most obvious thing is that after a year or two, Bai Ran's "Qingzhu Xiaoxuan" has gradually become famous in this area.
Because here in Bairan, there are often monks who can find some cheap but good-performing magic tools. There are even lucky people who happen to buy some rare mid-level talismans in the store.
After this news spread in a small area, some low-level monks immediately started to flock to it.
Of course, the magic weapons and talismans were refined by Bai Ran himself. Since entering the pill formation stage, he was finally able to cast some intermediate spells that he had envied for a long time.
Although they were only the most superficial among the intermediate levels, Bai Ran was extremely satisfied.
However, intermediate spell talismans cannot be refined from ordinary talisman paper. They must be made from the skins of some rare monster beasts. Moreover, each intermediate level talisman has its own strict and unique requirements for monster skins.
It is universal for all monster animal skins.
Fortunately, when Bai Ran sold the batch of monster materials, he had thought of this in advance and withheld a large amount of materials that could be used to make talismans.
Otherwise, even if he learns the spell, he still won't be able to refine the talisman.
Bai Ran first used inferior monster skins to practice, and when he felt he was in good condition, he would use rare materials to refine several special talismans.
Those training talismans are basically some offensive spells. Bai Ran will put one or two on them every one or two months. Whoever sees them first will get them.
Judging from Bai Ran's cultivation during the Dan Formation stage, compared with the power of the magic weapon, these talismans are really worthless and have no use if they are kept.
But Bai Ran obviously underestimated the temptation of the intermediate talismans to those monks in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages. Even though the prices of the talismans were raised one after another, there were still monks who did not hesitate to buy them with spiritual stones. Bai Ran was quite surprised.
A small fortune.
But it is a pity that the intermediate talisman is extremely difficult to refine. Even if Bai Ran has so many monster skins to practice, the success rate is still pitifully low. It seems that he can only succeed once every twenty or thirty talismans are refined.
When asked to compare the success rates of elementary talismans, Bai Ran could only smile bitterly.
Otherwise, Bai Ran could become a rich man among immortal cultivators just by selling intermediate talismans.
In addition, as Bai Ran's level of weapon refining improved, more and more mid-level and high-level magic weapons appeared in the shops, which made the name "Qingzhu Xiaoxuan" become more and more loud. But fortunately, this loudness is also
As a relatively low-level monk, Bai Ran didn't have to worry about causing any trouble.
But when he arrived in his ninth year here, Bai Ran combined some of the simple formations he had learned and began to fumble around refining formation flags and formation disks.
Because of the relevant experience provided by Qi Yunxiao and Xin Ruyin, Bai Ran was able to avoid many detours and master some key skills.
But even so, refining a complete set of formation equipment is still an extremely difficult task for him who is new to this field, and it cannot be effective in a short time.
But Bai Ran is not in a hurry. After forming the pill, he has time and space to slowly accumulate experience and understanding.
Moreover, the most important thing now is to figure out the refining method of the "Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword" while refining things to ensure success in the first time...
After all, when refining this magic weapon, there was no extra material for him to try it a second time.
Time passed like this day by day while Bai Ran was refining magic weapons and studying formations.
Spring is gone and autumn is coming!
Unknowingly, Bai Ran's famous "Qingzhu Xiaoxuan" has been open for more than 20 years, and Bai Ran has become an old man in his fifties.
Of course, this is not Bai Ran's real appearance. It is just to conceal her appearance forever. As time goes by, she has to make her appearance look older.
And now Bai Ran was standing in the backyard of the shop. Looking at everything around him, his heart was filled with strange emotions.
Just yesterday, he transferred the store to another person, finally ending his worldly life.
Because just a few days ago, the long-awaited sixth "Golden Thunder Bamboo" had matured to ten thousand years, so he had to return to the cave to refine the magic weapon.
After living here for more than 20 years, Bai Ran has no troubles in his heart, but he still feels a little nostalgic in his heart when parting.
Presumably this period of life in Fangshi will become a rare and comfortable experience in his life.
At this time, there was a loud shouting coming from the next door. After hearing this, Bai Ran couldn't help but smile knowingly.
He didn't need to search with his spiritual sense to know that it must be the shopkeeper next door who recommended to his customers again the "treasure of the shop" that no one wanted to buy after selling it for seven or eight years.
This neighbor inherited his father's business. It turned out that Bai Ran's old shopkeeper when he first moved here had gone back home to take care of himself four years ago.
Although the old shopkeeper's son has a hot temper, he is quite honest. However, when doing business, he always brags about the goods in his shop, which really makes many monks from other places laugh at him.
Stunned.
Bai Ran sighed, shook his head slightly, and walked out of the "Green Bamboo Pavilion" with Qu Hun, who was waiting in the front hall.
Soon after, the two figures completely disappeared from this corner of the city.
As soon as he returned to the cave, Bai Ran immediately entered the secret room with many refining materials and set up a small formation outside that he had learned over the years.
This formation has no other effect, but it can effectively cover the fluctuations of spiritual energy. It is just suitable for Bai Ran to use when refining magic weapons.
He didn't want to be spied on by others when he was halfway through refining the magical treasure.
Then, Bai Ran meditated quietly in the secret room for three days and three nights, allowing his spiritual power to be in the best possible condition before he started refining the magic weapon.
First, take out the jade box from the storage bag and place it flat on the ground in front of you.
Then the lid of the box was opened, revealing six emerald green thunder bamboos inside.
Bai Ran looked at the bamboos solemnly, took a deep breath, and then stretched out a finger to tap lightly on a green bamboo in the box.
Suddenly, the foot-long Thunder Bamboo flew out of the box and floated on his chest without moving.
Bai Ran pinched a spell with a solemn expression, and a layer of blue light gradually appeared on his face.
As the green light became thicker and thicker, Bai Ran opened his mouth, and a slender, silky green elixir fire blurted out, spraying onto the Thunder Bamboo in front of him.
With a "crack" sound, a pale golden arc appeared on the surface of the bamboo. It isolated the alchemy fire without politeness, preventing it from getting even half a step closer.
Seeing this scene, Bai Ran's eyes flashed, and the green elixir fire immediately became thicker. In an instant, the electric arc and the bamboo itself were wrapped in the green fire, and the long refining process began.
The pill fire consumes a lot of spiritual energy, but luckily Bai Ran had been prepared for this. As soon as he released the pill fire, he grabbed a dark blue spiritual stone with both hands and began to absorb the spiritual energy in it.
, and when even the spiritual stones began to fail to be replenished, he casually took out a pill and drank it.
Even if these elixirs cannot be converted into mana immediately, the sufficient spiritual power contained in them is enough to give Bai Ran, who is prepared to fight a protracted war, confidence.
The first three days passed, and the electric arc on the surface of the Thunder Bamboo finally dissipated due to the exhaustion of the spiritual power of the bamboo itself. The unblocked blue fire burned directly into the body of the Thunder Bamboo.
After a few days, the surface of the bamboo showed signs of melting, and some parts began to glow faintly, with dense small droplets of various colors oozing out.
After more than ten days of this, the entire Tianleizhu was finally free of impurities and was refined into a thick green liquid the size of a fist.
It looks extremely sticky!
Looking at this small piece of liquid, Bai Ran breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could refine the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, the next step would be much easier.
Think about it this way! As soon as the elixir fire in Bai Ran's mouth stopped, he put away the spiritual stones in his hands.
Then the ten fingers of both hands spread out, and the ten thin spiritual threads shot out and inserted into the green liquid.
Then, Bai Ran's fingers kept flicking, and under the influence of the spiritual thread, the liquid mass began to rotate and deform.
Under the traction of the spiritual thread, a small piece of green liquid separated from the main body and also floated in the nearby air.
Then the second piece, the third piece...
When the last piece was separated, twelve pieces of liquid of the same size appeared in the air.
