The rocks in Zhoushan Mountain are not only hard, but also have a very stubborn structure, so they are extremely difficult to be affected by external magical means. Ordinary refining methods have no meaning at all. Zhang Yan had thought about this before taking action.
But after the formation was actually launched, facing Zhang Yan's always unfavorable black and white pill fire, Zhoushan Mountains and Stones still had a difficult time. Even at first, the black and white pill fires seemed unable to shake Zhoushan Mountains and Stones at all. It was not until more than a month later that Zhang Yan discovered that he had been being attacked.
The mountain rocks burned by the black and white elixir fire showed some signs of softening.
Just like lava underground.
But after more than a month of scorching, the power of the black and white flames was also pushed to the extreme. Apart from Zhang Yan himself, the one who knows the most clearly is Wang Nian, who has been controlling the operation of the formation and dispatching many powers to be exerted in the furnace.
The host was horrified by Master's weird and terrifying black and white Taoist elixir, but he also breathed a sigh of relief. If it can be roasted soft, it means it can be refined. Otherwise, no matter how good the mountain stone is, it will not be endowed with more power and mystery.
Immortal weapon.
But problems also appeared, and the four masters and disciples did not have many happy moments.
"Why can't this mountain rock be deformed by rubbing?" Wang Nian was surprised and communicated with his master and his junior brothers and sisters in time.
According to Wang Nian's idea, first tear off the softened Zhoushan mountain stone and put it aside, so that the deep parts can continue to be roasted and speed up the overall refining progress. At the same time, the torn off parts can also be tempered and discharged first.
The impurities inside can be purified in this way to exponentially increase the characteristics and characteristics of the mountain stone. It is also a necessary process for most weapon refining.
But this week, the mountains and rocks presented Wang Nian with a problem: some of the rocks on the surface were indeed soft, but it was impossible to tear them off like dough and put them aside. Because there was a force originating from the inside of the rocks pulling them.
Wang Nian couldn't separate them at all.
"Try cutting." Zhang Yan also knows how to refine weapons, and he knows that if the structure of the mountain stone cannot be changed, it will have a great impact on the subsequent refinement process. It may even determine success or failure.
Wang Nian shook his head and replied: "Master, I'm afraid it won't work. I have used the power of the formation to test the softened parts by cutting them, and the result is that I can still separate them. Even if these stones are soft, the surface hardness is still there.
It seems that there is still no deterioration, and it even has a kind of resilience that it didn't have before.
I think if we want to follow our previous plan, it may not work."
Even though it was just the beginning, Wang Nian keenly judged that Zhoushan Shanshi could not go through the refining process as smoothly as originally planned and needed to adapt.
Zhang Yan said no more and waited for his eldest apprentice Wang Nian to make his own choice. When it came to the whimsical ideas of weapon refining, he knew that he was not as good as his eldest apprentice. Since he was not as good as him, he might as well just shut up and be an assistant.
Wang Nian is indeed worthy of Zhang Yan's trust. After only a short period of hesitation, Wang Nian expressed his thoughts. He planned to temper the Zhoushan mountain stone without cutting it and directly engrave it.
For the formation pattern, skip the middle two processes.
"Although the mountain stone is difficult to cut, its interior is not traceless. There are some lines similar to meridians distributed in it. We can use these lines as paths to build natural magic circle passages. I think this can be done with the help of Master.
It should be possible to grow black and white elixir fire. At the same time, tempering can only be done in a stupid way, from the outside to the inside. There is no fancy tricks to do, you can only wait for time."
"Time is not important. Once you have an idea, start taking action. We will cooperate with you."
"good!"
Wang Nian calmed down again and focused all his attention on the large formation furnace in his hand. Although his plan was very different from the normal weapon refining methods, and even risky, the framework was still based on the refining of immortal weapons.
Basically, coupled with skills and confidence in the stability of Zhoushan's rocks, he was quite confident.
This practice lasted more than twenty years.
Tempering took time from the beginning, and the technique of Twenty Kings Nian was awkward due to the unusual refining choices. Later, the speed gradually increased.
After more than twenty years, Zhang Yan's face shows no change. In the past twenty years, he has no other important requirements except supplying the Great Formation Immortal Essence and Dao Dan Dan Fire, which is a heavy load for him.
It's so low that I even have the thought to spend a bit of soul to go to the cliff mountain to continue refining two talisman weapons.
Zhang Yan was enjoying himself, but Yang Rui and Liu Xin didn't dare to be careless at all. They followed Wang Nian, who presided over the furnace refining, and concentrated until the end. They were exhausted physically and mentally. Even though they were immortals, in the early stage of immortality, in twenty years
It is normal to feel tired if you maintain a very high frequency of use of Danhuo and Xianyuan and a high level of mental investment.
"Done?"
"Well, you're done!"
Wang Nian was undoubtedly the most tired one. But his fatigue was put away, and his face was more excited. The thing in front of him was made under his leadership by the four strongest people in the Wild Sky Territory who worked together for twenty years.
Top notch artifact.
Although it is said to be a "vessel", it is actually not visible from the outside. It still looks like a mountain like before. But compared with the huge volume that was nearly a thousand feet high and low at the beginning, it has shrunk a lot at this time, almost 20% smaller.
.
Generally, natural refining materials will become significantly smaller after being tempered. This is the result of eliminating impurities and purifying the main useful main components.
Don't look at the fact that Zhoushan's rocks have shrunk by 20%. This is enough to make Wang Nian astonished. In his impression, natural weapon-making materials have shrunk by at least 50% after tempering. Even the remaining 15% are not there.
A few. For example, if gold is tempered to produce gold essence, it will shrink greatly.
In comparison, the impurities in Zhoushan rocks are incredibly low.
Similarly, there are fewer impurities and the volume is reduced by 20%, but its characteristics have not been reduced, but have become more prominent. And what has changed is not only the size of the Zhoushan rocks, but also the lines of the magic formations and seals.
It goes in and out of the mountain like a tie, covering almost most of the mountain, and the same is true inside the mountain.
"Try it." Zhang Yan smiled and did not get started. Instead, he asked Wang Nian, who presided over the refining and overcame many difficulties and spent a lot of effort during the process, to introduce this brand-new magical weapon.
Wang Nian still wanted to postpone it, but Zhang Yan waved his hand and stopped being pretentious. He knew in his heart that this was Master fulfilling his wish. It was naturally a big wish for him to start the magic weapon he refined.
So Wang Nian waved towards the Zhoushan rocks standing in the middle of the formation, and subconsciously called out: "Come!"
I saw the magical seal on the rock, which was still hundreds of feet tall, flickering and mysteriously surging. In the blink of an eye, it quickly shrank and flew towards Wang Nian. The person in front of me had actually shrunk to about a foot.
"Master, please give me a name for this thing!"
"It comes from Zhoushan, and its usage is mainly about smashing, so it's called "Mountain Seal"."
