The surface and interior of the tall furnace were densely engraved with incomprehensible Sanskrit scriptures. It looked like it had a strong Buddhist atmosphere and was very mysterious.

According to Master Liaoyuan, this kind of engraving of Buddhist scriptures can have a more powerful effect than ordinary runes.

For example, the scriptures on the outside of the furnace can keep warm and gather heat, while the scriptures inside can stabilize the temperature.

Although it is not as useful as the underground fire of Bailian Mountain, it can also be of great help in refining equipment.

Jiang Li didn't rush to take action. He first stretched out his hand and pressed on the wall of the room. A thick and damp layer of moss emerged from under his hand and spread rapidly, soon covering the entire room.

We should always be on guard against others and be careful when necessary.

Make sure the moss completely covers the entire refining room without leaving any gaps.

Jiang Li then reached out and took out the Soul-Breaking Black Sword, the Ghost-Head Broadsword, and the Dragon-Hunting Arrowhead he had just acquired from his storage bag, and placed the three together.

These three things are the main materials for this refining.

Then he raised his hand and slapped the Brahma furnace, and a ball of extremely blazing spiritual flame began to burn violently from the furnace.

After Jiang Li completed the foundation-building stage, he swallowed a Nine Netherworld Fruit, which advanced Jiuhuo Jiange's cultivation to the foundation-building stage.

But what is embarrassing is that they are all sword cultivators in the foundation-building stage, and their swordsmanship level is far beyond that of normal Shushan disciples.

But Jiang Li, the "Drunken Sword Master", still doesn't have a flying sword of his own.

It's not a good idea to keep using the clone's Burning Rainbow Sword.

Now, Jiang Li is ready to make a special flying sword for himself.

The characteristic of the Soul-Breaking Black Sword is that it can destroy souls but not armor.

The characteristic of the dragon hunting arrow is that it can penetrate armor but not spirits.

Just imagine if these two could be organically combined to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses!

A flying sword forged in that way, regardless of its grade, even if it is just an ordinary weapon without any spiritual energy, with its terrifying effect of breaking armor and souls, once you are stabbed by it, it will be a lot of fun.

Yin can kill the enemy alive.

And since you're planning on assassinating someone, you might as well be more thorough.

If it is paired with the City God's Ghost Head Knife, the effect of hiding soldiers and killing spirits will be achieved, and the three together will become a sword.

Jiang Li felt scared for his future enemy just by thinking about that scene.

As he continuously inputted spiritual energy, the flames of the wine and fire in the furnace continued to rise and surge. This Sanskrit furnace had a special feature that locked the energy tightly inside, causing the temperature inside the furnace to begin to rise rapidly.

Jiang Li raised his hand and the City God's ghost-head knife flew over first.

He immediately threw a powerful Xuan-level magic weapon into the furnace flame, intending to melt it directly and then re-forge it in the furnace.

After acquiring a fire spiritual root, with Jiang Li's talent in runes and what he had learned while studying in the Equipment Refining Hall, he basically had the ability to refine magic weapons on his own.

The method of refining flying swords that he secretly learned from Shushan is also very special, so special that this secret art does not emphasize skills.

As long as you can afford the price and invest in the spiritual materials, the flying sword you forge will definitely be of great quality.

Even for a novice like him, this is no exception.

The already powerful wine flame, with the blessing of Jiang Li's Nine Ghosts' Qi, directly reached the level of a Jindan stage cultivator. It was so hot that it could easily melt gold and break locks.

He pressed one hand tightly on the furnace, while the other hand was not idle either. He picked up some crystal powder to help melt the metal, then made a hand gesture, and rays of spiritual light mixed with crystal powder were shot out one after another, accelerating the smelting of the ghost-head knife.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, three quarters of an hour.

After two full hours, the dark blade of the ghost-head knife gradually turned red and softened.

Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief. The work of a weapon refiner was indeed much harder than that of an alchemist.

This ghost-head knife is, after all, a mysterious-grade magic weapon. It is made of hard material and has excellent resistance. Just for the first step of smelting, it would take at least 17 or 18 foundation-building cultivators to take turns to melt it into metal.

Jiang Li stretched out his hand again, and the Soul-Breaking Black Sword and Dragon-Hunting Arrowhead on the ground flew over together.

Then, without hesitation, he threw it into the forge together with the gradually melting ghost-head knife.

The Sanskrit inside the forge was activated, and the flame temperature rose again, starting the inhumane continuous forging of the three pieces of metal.

Nearly two hours passed.

The knife turned a fiery red and softened completely, and the other two pieces of metal also changed color.

The most difficult thing to deal with was the dragon hunting arrowhead. Fortunately, its characteristic was only sharp enough to break armor, and it was not as indestructible as the dragon prison chain.

Under the influence of the high-temperature spiritual flame, the three metals finally fused together and gathered into a ball of metal slurry.

Jiang Li immediately activated his spiritual energy and continued to knead and fold the slurry. As the three completely different metals mixed with each other, their physical properties began to change.

The melting point of the alloy is getting higher and higher. Once this thing solidifies again, Jiang Li will most likely no longer be able to melt it.

He could only speed up the stirring to make the alloy combine as evenly as possible before it solidified again.

Not long after, the metal that had finally formed a slurry turned into an alloy ingot that had not yet been hammered and molded.

This original ingot looks ordinary, not much different from a piece of red-hot iron, but if one has good eyesight, one can see beautiful cloud patterns formed by the mixture of three metals in the red light.

And under the influx of spiritual energy, this original ingot is also emitting strange fluctuations. Just in this state, it is not inferior to most yellow-level magic weapons.

After all, none of the materials Jiang Li invested were of simple origin. Such an ingot was definitely an extremely excellent forging material.

But Jiang Li, there is another main ingredient to add.

He made a strange hand gesture and pressed it directly on his heart.

As a strong feeling of palpitations came, slowly, a mass of something invisible to the naked eye was forcibly pulled out by him.

The thing in Jiang Li's hand had no shadow or shape, no smell or form, as if it was empty.

But this invisible thing can make a centenarian young again and allow the person named by the King of Hell to live freely for a hundred years.

This is the price Jiang Li is prepared to pay for this weapon refining, a full 100 years of life! Do you remember that when Jiang Li went to the Sutra Transmission Hall before, he had received the Sutra Transmission of the three halls of "Qi", "Ti" and "Shu" in succession?

The "skills" he obtained were simple and practical ancient magic spells and magic techniques.

However, the book he obtained in the Qi Sutra Hall was actually a strange auxiliary martial art called "The Secret of Life Robbery".

This skill is not difficult to learn and is simple to operate, with basically no entry threshold for use.

But the problem is that the cost of using the life-threatening technique is at least two years of life lost.

The standard of teaching in the Scripture Hall is really fascinating. It is obvious that they see that he has a long life and think that this method is very suitable for him.

Passing on such a life-shortening technique to him, does it mean that they think he has lived too long, so they are looking for a way to make him shorten his lifespan for fun?

Who, as a serious person, would learn such a skill when they have nothing to do?

Jiang Li held a ball of life in his palm, his expression a little painful.

Generally, cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage only live for about two hundred years. If everyone were like him, with a hundred years of their lifespan taken away at once, they would lose most of their life.

Even though he did have a long life, he had never used this skill before. It was only now that he reluctantly tried it out.

Jiang Li’s lifespan before breaking through the foundation-building stage was 297×500%, which is one thousand four hundred and eighty-five years.

After breaking through the foundation-building stage, his basic lifespan increased by one hundred years. Later, he ate a fire-type earth fruit, which increased it by another thirty years.

Multiplying by the blessing of the dragon turtle's blood pattern, the total time is two thousand one hundred and thirty-five years.

It was a bit painful to waste a hundred years on this. If the effect was not satisfactory to him, he would give up this spell forever.

At this moment, Jiang Li felt a heat on his lips, and a line of blood slowly flowed from his nostrils, making him look a little miserable.

Nosebleed is already a relatively mild reaction when it comes to shortening one's lifespan.

He threw his 100 years of life into the furnace, and it merged with the original ingot.

The ball of metal that was originally just floating in the furnace suddenly flashed with a gleam of light on its surface, as if it was overflowing with vitality.

And a sense of familiarity arose spontaneously. Although it was just a raw ingot and had not yet become a magic weapon, Jiang Li could feel that he could completely control this piece of metal with his mind.

Jiang Li sketched out an outline in his mind.

The resolidified block of metal immediately began to deform automatically. The beautiful cloud pattern slowly extended and lengthened, gradually turning into the shape of a handleless sword.

Where the hilt should have been, there was only a chain buckle of medium size hidden there.

This is the prototype of Jiang Li’s sword embryo.

However, all of the above are just preparatory work.

But for the actual sword-forging that follows, there is no need for this Sanskrit furnace.

Jiang Li closed his eyes for a moment, and then white light flashed in his eyes. A ray of spiritual light emerged from his sea of ​​​​energy and enveloped the sword embryo.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Under the cover of this spiritual light, the sword embryo was slowly pulled out of the furnace and then directly sank into the qi sea in his body.

Jiang Li immediately sat down cross-legged and started to practice a secret technique he had secretly learned from the Five Elements Peak of Shu Mountain, the Sword Furnace Technique.

This secret technique is no longer popular in the Five Elements Peak of Mount Shu.

But when Shushan Five Elements Peak was still called Shushan Sword Sect.

Before building the Demon-Suppressing Tower in Shushan, he relied on the spiritual charm of the earth and the essence of monsters to refine the flying sword.

The Sword Furnace Technique, in which a swordsman forges the sword with his own body, was the mainstream of Shushan at that time.

The flying sword refined in this way is perfectly compatible with sword cultivators.

It can be said that the sword follows the heart and man and sword are one.

There is no need for any sword techniques at all. With just a thought, the monster is killed by the sword light.

That kind of power is far beyond the reach of today's mass-produced flying swords.

But the reason why the Furnace Refining Technique was abandoned was not because it was too powerful, but because it was too difficult to practice.

The requirements for sword practitioners to perform the Sword Furnace Technique are extremely high. To forge the sword with one's own body, one not only needs to awaken the sword heart, but also constantly maintain a large amount of spiritual energy and physical strength consumption, and the body must also be strong enough.

That's it. You also need the support of a spirit gathering array and a blessed land of spiritual energy to be qualified to perform this method.

But it is hard to say whether Shushan can produce such a disciple in ten years... or even a hundred years.

If you want to develop the sect, it is necessary to use other methods to replace this secret sword furnace technique.

Later, facts proved that the method of refining the natal flying sword was a very suitable substitute.

And today, Jiang Li is going to use the sword furnace technique that has been covered in dust for a hundred years to refine his own flying sword.

Inside the body, the sword embryo had been absorbed into Jiang Li's sea of ​​qi.

The vast amount of spiritual energy dormant in the sea of ​​​​qi immediately surged.

The nine ghost spirits, mixed with the spiritual energy of wine and fire, with the spiritual rhythm of the five elements and earth veins as the support, soon built a unique sword furnace in his sea of ​​​​qi.

The newly formed sword embryo was wrapped inside and continuously forged. The surging spiritual energy and spiritual charm washed back and forth. Even the Shura Sword Heart turned into a lightsaber and was directly thrown into the sword embryo.

The originally ordinary sword embryo gradually began to transform. Under the influence of many forces, it would slowly and completely turn into the shape of Jiang.

Just when Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief and was about to withdraw his mind.

Dao Yun, who had been wandering around in Jiang Li's sea of ​​consciousness doing nothing, suddenly swam out of Jiang Li's sea of ​​consciousness at this moment, rushed into the sword furnace, surrounded the flying sword that had not yet taken shape, and kept circling around it, hitting the sword body from time to time.

This scene is so similar to the time when Jiang Li was building his Taoist foundation.

Originally Jiang Li thought that after the foundation building was completed, this trace of Tao rhyme would be of no use.

Unexpectedly, this rhyme turned out to be an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

It wants to optimize things as soon as it sees them, and will not stop until it has modified everything that can be modified to the best. Now that Jiang Li is forging a sword in his body, it has also targeted him.

This rhythm continuously hit the sword body, as if it wanted to correct something in it.

However, since this trace of Dao rhyme was too subtle, the sword embryo was, after all, an external physical object, and did not have the Dao rhyme of force. No matter how it collided, it could not cause the slightest effect on the sword embryo.

However, as the master, how could Jiang Li just stand by and watch? With a thought, he directly pulled the consciousness of the sword cultivator's clone over.

Let the parallel consciousness control the spiritual energy to transform into a hammer, and smash it up at once according to the angle and direction of the impact of the Dao rhyme.

As expected, that strand of Tao rhythm was no longer stuck in one place. It changed its angle and position and began to jump continuously.

The diligent first parallel consciousness controlled the spiritual energy following the trajectory of the Tao rhyme and hammered down synchronously.

With Dao Yun's personal command, Jiang Li seemed to be blessed with a cheat code, and he cooperated with the Qi Hai Sword Furnace to refine his skills.

You know, if you want to bring out the characteristics of the materials, it is not as simple as just mixing them together and then pouring them into a mold to shape them.

This is a very profound subject, and Jiang Li originally just planned to try his luck with the Shushan Sword Furnace Technique.

But he had personally experienced the effect of Dao Yun.

Now with the help of Dao Yun, Jiang Li is confident that he can perfectly combine the properties of the three metals this time.

However, forging a flying sword is not a matter of a day or two. There is also a big problem here. In this situation, most of Jiang Li’s cultivation has been transformed into the sword furnace and is being used to forge the sword.

That means that Jiang Li is now unable to practice the Qi training of the Jiuyou Taoist Scripture, and the spiritual energy he can mobilize is less than 30%.

This would greatly reduce his combat power, and he would basically be able to rely on physical training to fight. . .

Eh? Am I not a physical practitioner? Oh, that's fine.

As for the method of refining the furnace, when the sword can be made, it may take three to five days at the shortest, or longer, which is hard to say.

. . . .

At this time, the stupa in the forbidden area of ​​Cihang Temple.

At the bottom level of the stupa, six monks of the Kong generation were sitting cross-legged on cushions surrounding a huge golden lotus platform.

They all held a long golden rope tied to the lotus platform and chanted the Buddha's name in unison.

"Color refers to what the eyes see, such as light, darkness, and substance. It pollutes the eye and is therefore called color dust."

"Sound refers to what the ears hear, such as movement, stillness, beauty, and ugliness. It pollutes the ear, so it is called sound dust."

"Fragrance refers to what the nose smells, such as the smell of fragrance or stench. Because it pollutes the root of the nose, it is called fragrance dust."

"Taste refers to what the tongue tastes, such as saltiness, blandness, sweetness, and spiciness. It stains the root of the tongue, so it is called taste dust."

"Contact refers to what the body senses, such as separation and union, cold and heat, which pollute the body's sense organs, so they are called touch dust."

"Dharma refers to what the mind knows, such as birth and death, good and evil, which pollute the mind-root, so it is called dharma dust."

"The six dusts, six desires, six sense organs, six places, six realms, and six thieves. I will not elaborate on them here. My Buddha's six sense organs are pure. Amitabha!"

The six monks were in seclusion, working together to use the Six Roots Purification Mantra, a unique Buddhist skill.

As the Buddha's name and chanting continued, the light of the six long ropes flickered, as if to dispel all impurities.

And in the golden lotus platform that was tied with long ropes, there were three black auras that were slowly dissipating under the golden light.

Work hard to become stronger
