Fire Valley Market.
A scorching breath surged in the secret realm, and the spiritual power drawn from the fire spirit veins gathered in front of Shen Lian, forming a red fire area.
The fire area was two meters in size, and a crisp tinkling sound came from it. A half-foot-sized red bell was constantly spewing out flames.
This situation has lasted for half a month.
Outside the fire area, Shen Lian did not sit cross-legged properly, but instead put one arm behind his back and used the other hand to constantly mobilize the flames in the fire area.
When the bell inhaled and exhaled flames, it also absorbed the spiritual energy in the flames into the inside of the bell, turning it into nutrients for deriving spiritual restrictions.
Spiritual restrictions are the core of the magic weapon. At this moment, fifteen spiritual restrictions have been derived from this bell. When the number of spiritual restrictions reaches the nineteenth, it will enter the category of a third-level magic weapon.
However, the embryo of a magic weapon cannot be refined in this way. After the eighteenth spiritual restriction is concluded, some changes need to be made to the nineteenth spiritual restriction.
Let this level of spiritual restriction be transformed into a semi-finished state, waiting for the cultivator's refining and nurturing. When it is promoted to the third-level golden elixir, it will follow the master to be baptized by the heavenly thunder, and thus break the restrictions of the nineteenth level of spiritual restriction in one fell swoop.
If one is lucky, one can establish multiple spiritual restrictions in one fell swoop under the baptism of heavenly calamity.
It can be said that the nineteenth level of spiritual restriction is easy to conclude, but the eighteenth and a half level is not easy.
The same is true for weapon refiners. Some weapon refiners can refine magic weapons that can confer nineteen or twentieth-level spiritual restrictions, but they cannot refine spiritual restrictions that are halfway through.
This is because spiritual restriction is the process of autonomously absorbing spiritual energy during the refining of magical instruments. It is not easy to artificially interfere with the formation of spiritual restriction.
For a cultivator, the magic weapon embryo is easy to refine, and can also transform along with the cultivator when he is promoted to the Golden Elixir stage. In this way, it will be more suitable for him as his natal magic weapon.
On the other hand, if one directly refines a third-level magic weapon after being promoted to the Golden Core stage, one will miss out on this opportunity.
Of course, whether to choose a magic weapon embryo or to directly refine the magic weapon depends on the individual. Without refining the magic weapon embryo, is it possible that you cannot be promoted to the Golden Elixir?
If you have this opportunity, use it. If you don’t have it, it won’t delay your path to immortality.
Outside the Fire Domain, Shen Lian carefully sensed the transformation of the bell. This was a magic weapon embryo made entirely of fire-based mineral materials.
It was also an experiment before he refined the embryo of a magic weapon for himself.
Even though he had inherited the refining skills from a master level, he still encountered some doubts when he was actually refining the tools himself.
Don’t be afraid if you have doubts, just go and look through the scenes in the inheritance. There are so many images that there is always one that can answer your questions.
With the development of the spiritual restriction, it soon reached the eighteenth level and began to conclude the nineteenth level.
Shen Lian's spiritual consciousness also entered the bell, captured the spiritual restriction that was derived from it, and intervened with external force.
“Buzz!”
Not long after, the bell trembled slightly, and the crisp sound turned into sound waves, causing ripples in the fire area.
The surface of the bell also exudes a mysterious red metallic luster.
As soon as Shen Lian stretched out his hand, the bell, still emitting burning heat, fell into his hand.
The bell's surface has vague firebird patterns that come together to form undulating ripples.
Grabbing the bell, Shen Lian began a violent output, pouring all kinds of magic power into the bell.
He also asked the Huo Qian puppet to use his rare treasure to smash the bell.
Of course Shen Lian didn't mean to smash it. He mainly wanted to see how hard the magic weapon embryo he had refined with ordinary earth fire was.
The materials used to refine the bell consumed ten jin of third-grade red gold stone, plus dozens of jin of second-grade red crystal stones of various grades.
These are the materials used, but Master Huoyu brought more than just these, and prepared three in total.
He was also afraid that Master Huo Qian would fail.
After the weapon refiners have developed the spiritual restrictions on the magic weapons, some will even engrave some magical powers on the magic weapons according to their own ideas and the properties of the spiritual restrictions.
Shen Lian had no intention of doing so at all. He thought it was good enough that he could refine it. If he wanted the magical power, he had to engrave it himself.
After letting the Huo Qian puppet hit it a few times, Shen Lian confirmed that the bell was quite sturdy, although it had a few small dents.
This also shows that even if it is the same grade of ore, the quality of the ore smelted by the Tianyan Fire Domain is better than that smelted by ordinary earth fire.
He put the bell away casually. Having had the experience of refining the weapon himself, Shen Lianshou didn't feel so unfamiliar anymore.
…
Another month passed.
In the secret realm, a large red cauldron was floating up and down in the fire. It’s not appropriate to call it a cauldron. It should be called a pill furnace, as it has a lid.
It has three legs and two ears, and is perfectly round. On top is a top that protrudes like a mountain. There are five circular grooves around the round belly.
In addition to the five main grooves, there are also undulating mountain and river patterns that can be used to embed jade charms.
The overall style is similar to the alchemy furnace used to refine the monkey.
This cauldron consumed a total of 100 kilograms of third-grade red gold stone, all of which was smelted in the Tianyan Fire Domain.
The rich aura was many times stronger than the small bell before.
Shen Lian's idea was to first refine the Five Elements Alchemy Furnace, one each for gold, wood, water, fire and earth, so that the five elements could be unified.
After the alchemy furnace is unified, use it as the core and stack up the prototype of the magic weapon bit by bit.
Shen Lian was naturally very concerned about refining the magic weapon for himself. During the refining process, he reserved talismans, formations and other subsequent related things.
How to unite the five elements is something I have thought about countless times in my mind.
"Let's call it the Five Elements Red Fire Furnace."
Shen Lian originally wanted to give his first magical weapon a very domineering name, but when he finished it, his mind faded.
It doesn't matter what the name is. If you can be promoted to the Five Elements Immortal Cauldron in the future, it will be more domineering than any other name.
The Red Fire Cauldron shrank to the size of a walnut and was held in Shen Lian's palm.
There is no shortage of the five elements spiritual materials in the Tianzhu Mountain mining area. At least when refining the three kinds of furnaces of gold, earth and wood, there is no need to leave the Fire Valley.
He even had a new idea about wrapping the Dan Ding with a spirit ship shell.
Nowadays, the size and quality of spiritual ships in the world of immortal cultivation all need to be determined by the keel.
He couldn't find any high-level spiritual wood, so Shen Lian's idea was to directly melt the five elements mineral materials to build the keel of the spiritual ship.
Forge a five-element spirit ship.
By then, as long as there are enough mineral materials, he can do whatever he wants.
There are two problems at the moment. Although water-attributed minerals are hard to find, they are not difficult to find in mining areas.
It’s just that minerals with wind and thunder attributes are not easy to find.
In addition, compared to the mineral materials, what gave Shen Lian more headaches was that he wanted to create a magical weapon similar to the Dongtian.
The cave-heaven magic weapon requires cave-heaven stone and the auxiliary five elements spiritual materials.
The Cave Heaven Stone is not that rare. The storage rings worn by Jindan monks have Cave Heaven Stone added to them.
But the cave stone used in a storage ring is just a small piece, and it is good enough if it is the size of a grain of rice.
Such a space can only be used to store things and cannot be called a cave at all.
He needed a large piece, at least the size of a baby's fist, and a complete cave stone.
At the very least, one must create a cave several hundred feet in size and embed the magic weapon embryo that one has created into it.
"Dongtian Stone, Xuanming Stone..."
Shen Lian scratched his head. In addition to the Dongtian Stone, he also wanted the Xuanming Stone, which was the material for building a teleportation array.
As the largest mining area in the southern continent, Tianzhu Mountain should have these types of ores, but they are not easy to find.
He looked through the memories of Huo Qian and the other person, and found some memories related to wind and thunder attribute minerals.
In Tianzhu Mountain, there is a Wind and Thunder Valley, where lightning strikes all year round. However, this place is not in the South China Sea, but in the direction of Wanshan Region.
As for the Dongtian Stone, it has something to do with a chamber of commerce.
…
Twenty thousand miles east of the Red Crystal Mining City.
Topaz mining town.
The last beast tide had a wide range, affecting six mining cities, Topaz City being one of them.
Suddenly, a stream of light appeared in the void, quickly passing through the winding mountains, and sparks appeared on the tail of the spirit boat.
Behind the spirit boat, there was also a stream of light chasing closely.
I saw the monk on the spirit boat in front, wearing a yellow robe, with disheveled hair, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and his aura fluctuating greatly, obviously he had suffered a serious injury.
The monk who was chasing from behind was wearing a black robe, had scars on his body, and his eyes exuded coldness.
The yellow-robed monk who was fleeing in front, seeing that the monk behind was about to catch up, took out a second-level medium-grade Thick Earth Divine Shield Talisman and activated it.
But this shield could not stop the figure chasing from behind.
Seeing that the talisman had no effect, the yellow-robed monk yelled.
"Li Yufei, do you really want to disregard our decades of friendship and kill us all?"
"Wang Sen, tell me where you found the Dongtian Stone. For the sake of our friendship over the years, I will spare your life."
The yellow-robed monk cursed without even turning his head, "We have been friends for decades, and I still don't know what kind of person you are. If I had told you, I would have died long ago."
Li Yufei on the spirit boat at the back had a ferocious look on his face. When his eyes looked into the distance, his expression suddenly changed.
Suddenly, he shouted: "Hurry up and tell me, otherwise don't blame me for not valuing our friendship for decades."
As he spoke, Li Yufei took out a sword-shaped talisman from his arms, injected fire spiritual power into it, and suddenly red sword energy burst out all over the sky.
"I'll give you one last chance."
"Li Yufei, you are such a despicable and shameless villain. I will never tell you even if I die. It's a waste of my time talking to you..."
"Then you can die. I will take care of your wife and children. I don't believe that you didn't tell your wife and children about this."
"Li Yufei, you are despicable!"
A sky full of red sword energy burst out from Li Yufei's hands and slashed down towards Wang Sen's head.
Feeling the terrifying sword energy approaching, Wang Sen was terrified and shouted at the monk who appeared in the distance.
"Fellow Daoist, please save me. I am willing to give you the cave..."
Puff! The red sword energy fell from the sky, submerging Wang Sen and the flying boat.
"Li Yufei, I won't forgive you even if I become a ghost!"
Just when everyone thought that Wang Sen was about to die, a ball of khaki light bloomed in the sky full of sword energy.
Wang Sen put on a set of heavy armor, which allowed him to withstand the falling red sword energy.
When the two spiritual energies collided, there was a clanging and buzzing sound, and the sweeping earth and fire spiritual powers destroyed the large area of forest below into ruins.
"Kun Yuan Bing Jia Fu, you hid it very well."
Li Yufei spoke angrily when he saw that his sword talisman had no effect.
"puff!"
Although Wang Sen managed to withstand the impact of the sword energy, he was seriously injured and could not suppress the injuries in his body, and he vomited blood in large mouthfuls.
The terrifying impact force pushed it into the ground below.
"Li Yufei, come here and I'll tell you where it is..."
Wang Sen was shouting while spitting blood.
"Just send me a voice message."
Li Yufei stepped into the void and spoke coldly.
Seeing that Li Yufei couldn't come down, Wang Sen forced himself to move.
"As long as you let my wife and children go, I will tell you that the place where the cave stone is found is... in the topaz mine..."
"not good!"
Suddenly, Li Yufei was horrified and quickly retreated backwards.
“Boom!”
A wave of destruction exploded with Wang Sen below as the center. The terrifying energy swept back and forth in the valley several times, crushing all the standing soil, rocks and trees into debris.
Even Li Yufei, who had dodged in advance, was hit and smashed heavily against a cliff in the distance.
"ah……"
Li Yufei, who had not yet stabilized his body, sensed the aura around him. He hurriedly slapped a Wanli Shenxing Talisman on his body and quickly fled into the distance.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay!"
"Fellow Daoist, I have some excellent healing elixirs here!"
“Fellow Daoist…”
In the blink of an eye, several figures rushed out from the jungle in all directions, and several people chased in the direction where Li Yufei was running from several directions.
They are also wary of each other.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay. I have a cave with excellent spiritual veins in the Topaz Mine City where you can recuperate."
"Fellow Daoist, I have the Eight Treasures Qi Replenishing Pill here."
But with the voices of several people, Li Yufei, who was fleeing far ahead, ran even faster. Seeing that he could not get rid of them, he plunged into the valley.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Soon, several figures appeared in and outside the valley that Li Yufei had entered. Everyone's thoughts were like ripples, and they began to search back and forth like dogs.
"He was seriously injured. He can't get far even if he uses earth escape."
…
Twenty miles away.
On the top of a green mountain, Shen Lian stood on an old pine tree, sensed it for a moment, and then disappeared.
He had to get away from here as soon as possible.
Before leaving, I went to the place where Wang Sen blew himself up to check it out.
There are no missed questions.
The talismans were all used spoils of war, and so was 'Wang Sen'.
It had been blown to pieces, but if you scooped up some powder you could still smell a slight smell of blood.
Absolutely genuine material, a real Taoist self-explosion.
The Topaz Mining City is where the Yuhua Sect under the Yunshang Sect is based. This sect is slightly weaker than the Chiyang Sect in strength. The one who is in charge here is a cultivator at the peak of the early Jindan stage.
Shen Lian, who couldn't find the Cave Heaven Stone, thought over and over again and decided that he could only use this method of throwing a brick to attract jade to see if he could pick up some.
Let’s put it this way, the vast majority of weapon refiners in the world of immortal cultivation have never made storage rings.
It’s not that all of it cannot be refined, it’s mainly because there is no cave stone.
Because of the materials, storage rings have become a monopoly industry. The force that produces storage rings in the South China Sea is a company called Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce.
This Chamber of Commerce is similar to the Island Alliance of Wanxinghai and is composed of several Jindan families.
In Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce, the origin of Dongtian Stone is a top secret. Everyone speculates that it is in Tianzhu Mountains, but no one knows exactly where it is.
Occasionally, small pieces of Dongtian Stone appear on the market. As long as Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce gets the news, they will buy them at a high price.
Shen Lian wanted to see if there would be any cultivators from the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce appearing after the release of the Cave Heaven Stone, so that he could follow behind and watch quietly.
There is no need to know the exact location, just a direction will do.
As for going to Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce to buy it, if he wants a golden elixir... no, a Nascent Soul, then he can go.
It is understood that the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce is also a good game. In addition to selling the storage rings it refines, they will also give them away as gifts.
For example, if a cultivator from a certain sect is promoted to a fake elixir or a golden elixir, people will directly give one to him.
For a Jindan cultivator, a storage ring is valuable, but it is not unaffordable. However, when he just got promoted to Jindan, someone came to give him a gift and congratulated him. How could he not be happy?
It is said that since the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce monopolized this business, it has given away a lot of storage rings, spreading across various sects and even independent cultivators.
Things ranging from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars can be given away at will. This chamber of commerce has a bright future.
Shen Lian is just trying it out. He has no idea whether it will succeed or not. It depends on the subsequent developments.
At least most of the cave stones found sporadically outside have been taken away by Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce. It depends on the control of Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce over the cave stones.
If that doesn't work, we'll have to think of another way.
I don’t know if he can be the mastermind for the first time.
Don’t let yourself get… wet shoes.
Shen Lian thought of Master Huo Qian and rethought his plan.
Regardless of success or failure, he has now freed himself from the humiliation of a few talismans and a puppet. At least he made a noise, so it wasn't a waste.
There will be no third update today.
