Chapter 143: Help and the old line(1/2)
A few days later, while Luo Hong was studying high-level weapon refining books by the fire pool, there was a sound of opening the door. He turned around and saw the chubby Tianhuo Zhenren leading two monks in the middle stage of foundation building away. Come in.
"Little friend Zhuo, let me introduce to you. This is Wang Tie from Black Rock Island, and this is Liu Xinjing from Qianfeng Island."
As soon as Master Tianhuo finished speaking, the sturdy, dark-skinned male cultivator on his left smiled innocently and said hello:
"Brother Zhuo, it's our first time meeting you."
Luo Hong immediately stood up, bowed back and said:
"I have admired the name of Black Rock Island for a long time, and I hope that Brother Wang can give me some advice on the art of weapon refining today."
"Hey, it's easy to talk."
Wang Tiehan smiled and scratched his head.
"Hmph! Hypocrisy! This lady is here to learn the art of refining weapons, not to teach disciples!"
Liu Xinjing, who was in her twenties and had the temperament of a young lady, saw the remaining materials for Luo Hong's refining fire scissors by the fire pool, and immediately deduced that Luo Hong was a beginner in the art of refining weapons, and immediately said arrogantly.
"Don't worry, Miss Liu, I won't bother you."
Luo Hong said with a smile that the other party's behavior did not make him angry, but reminded him of Li Xiaoqing in Yellow Maple Valley.
I don’t know if the Li sisters have escaped the pursuit of the Six Demonic Sects. Now that they have not established their foundation, Senior Brother Yu is still struggling with the matter of the alchemy furnace.
Liu Xinjing turned her head and said nothing, obviously she didn't believe it.
"Since the three of you already know each other, it's better to choose the right day. I will come here every ten days from today on to teach you the art of weapon refining in one day. How much you can learn in three years depends on your own abilities.
Little friend Zhuo, how far have you reached after studying in the past few months?"
Master Tianhuo asked Luo Hong with his hands behind his back.
"I have become proficient in refining intermediate magic weapons, and I can barely refine high-level magic weapons, but the failure rate is a bit high."
Luo Hong replied truthfully.
"Ah? You can't even successfully refine a high-level magic weapon three times out of ten times? Uncle Gongsun, can he really do it?"
Liu Xinjing was stunned, shook his head and said.
"Haha, little friend Zhuo started learning from scratch. It's already very good to achieve such results. Xin'er, have you forgotten the time when you first learned to refine weapons?"
Master Tianhuo said with a smile, his eyes full of love, obviously his relationship with Liu Xinjing was unusual.
"Hmph! This lady is much better than him. Uncle Gongsun, don't expect me to give him advice."
Liu Xinjing pointed at Luo Hong coquettishly, her cheeks puffing up quickly.
Luo Hong felt a little strange at this time, not because of Liu Xinjing's temperament that was not in line with his age, but because of the other party's criteria for judging success rate.
It turns out that as long as you succeed three times out of ten, the success rate is not low?
I thought that a success rate of at least 80% would be considered a good success rate, and a success rate of 100% would be considered a complete success.
Although there were two more comrades in the Fire Copper Room, one of whom was a naive eldest lady, this did not affect Luo Hong's study of the art of refining weapons at all.
He followed his own plan, studied classics, and performed practical operations. In less than a year, he mastered the refining of top-level magic weapons with the help of Enlightenment tea wine and physical examination charts.
Another year later, his weapon refining skills had completely surpassed those of Wang Tie and Liu Xinjing, who had been learning weapon refining since childhood.
This made Liu Xinjing's face turn red and white, and she did not dare to look at Luo Hong for several days.
However, a few days later, she respectfully apologized to Luo Hong and asked for advice on the art of refining weapons.
Of course Luo Hong didn't have the same experience as a female cultivator with such a little girl temperament, so she made a few casual remarks.
In the last year, Luo Hong has thoroughly studied all the weapon refining classics collected by Master Tianhuo, and his knowledge of weapon refining has reached a level where he can discuss with Master Tianhuo.
Of course, his actual level is definitely not as good as the other's. After all, this fat old man has been refining magic weapons for hundreds of years, and his rich experience cannot be compared to Luo Hong, who can only talk on paper.
However, in the eyes of Master Tianhuo, Luo Hong's growth rate is simply monster-level. If Luo Hong was not about to form a pill, he would even have the idea of accepting a disciple.
Because Luo Hong has a plan to refine ancient treasures, and his jade slips of ancient formations contain many methods for refining ancient treasure formation flags, so the ancient refining techniques he sometimes blurts out have not even been heard by Master Tianhuo.
Pass.
In the end, Master Tianhuo was embarrassed to say that he was teaching Luo Hong the art of weapon refining, and he only said that they were communicating with each other.
Because of this, the relationship between Luo Hong and Master Tianhuo has quickly become closer in the past three years, and they have gradually become a close friend.
And with Luo Hong and the others trying their hands at refining weapons in the Fire Copper Room from time to time, the quality of the magical weapons sold in Lanyung Pavilion is getting higher and higher, and even many immortal cultivators come here just to buy a top-notch magical weapon.
For the bodies of the girls from Lanyunge.
It is worth mentioning that during this period, Master Long redeemed Xi'er's body, and the two of them started a business of wholesale and reselling Lanyunge's magical artifacts, making a lot of money.
Seeing the boxes of spiritual stones being delivered to the Fire Bronze Room every day, the female nuns in Lanyun Pavilion became interested. Whenever Luo Hong and Wang Tie went out, they would be pestered by a group of warblers.
Luo Hong gave up the idea of these female cultivators after scolding them coldly several times, so the naive Wang Tie became the only one.
Today is the end of the three-year period. Master Tianhuo came on time and offered his magical weapon to carry the three of them to his cave.
The abundant spiritual energy on the Tianxing Holy Mountain washed away the anger on the bodies of Luo Hong and the others, instantly making them energetic.
After arriving at the cave, after taking a short rest, Master Tianhuo opened the restriction and took charge of the refining of the Ziji Sword.
All the spiritual materials have been purified and refined, and what remains is the final fusion step.
Luo Hong and Wang Tie sat cross-legged in the two eyes of the Fusion Spirit Formation. They pointed their swords at the same time, pointing diagonally upward. Blue and khaki light beams shot out from their fingertips, gathered in the air and turned into a silver beam.
White thunderball.
At this time, Liu Xinjing also raised his hand and shot out a wind-attributed mana light beam, which merged with the thunder ball.
The combination of wind and thunder suddenly made a crackling sound. The three people's expressions became solemn. They concentrated on mental control and strengthened or weakened the mana output from time to time. Finally, after a quarter of an hour of hard work, the wind and thunder spirit ball reached a balanced state.
Master Tianhuo was overjoyed when he saw this. He seized the time to control the prepared spiritual materials to fly into the wind and thunder ball, and used his spiritual power to fuse the spiritual materials.
More than two hours later, Master Tianhuo completed this tedious step and forged a palm-long sword embryo from the wind and thunder spirit ball.
All that's left is to continue to temper the sword embryo in the spirit ball until it is completely formed, and Master Tianhuo can take the opportunity to place some restrictions on the sword.
This process is extremely long. Fortunately, at this point, the three of them can reduce the supply of mana and can barely hold on by swallowing the rejuvenation elixir provided by Master Tianhuo.
Two months passed like this. Except for Luo Hong, Wang Tie and Liu Xining were all pale and showed signs of being unable to hold on. Master Tianhuo also looked much haggard due to mental and physical exhaustion from presiding over the treasure refining.
"When the heat is up, the three of us give it a final push to make it completely take shape!"
Luo Hong's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he used the magic power in his acupoints to make the beam of light that he shot out become three points thicker.
Wang and Liu also held on, increasing their mana output at the expense of their energy.
After holding on for a quarter of an hour, I heard Master Tianhuo perform the last spell and said with great joy:
"It's done!"
Wang and Liu were relieved and immediately stopped outputting their magic power, gasping for breath weakly.
Luo Hong's magic power was profound, so it was not a problem at this time. He looked intently at the purple sword floating in the air and secretly admired it.
This sword has a spiritual level of 19 when it is first refined. It only needs to be refined for a hundred years to raise it to a spiritual level of 20. If some heavenly materials and earthly treasures are added, there is hope for even a 21 spiritual level.
When you reach the 20th spirit level, it becomes the level of an ancient treasure. This sword lives up to its name, and I don’t know who will fall into its hands. You must be careful about this person in the future.
After refining the treasure, Wang and Liu entered the cave of Master Tianhuo to rest and recuperate. Luo Hong was preparing to leave for the outer sea to advance to the level of pill formation, so he had no plans to stay longer and said goodbye to Master Tianhuo immediately.
"Don't leave in a hurry, little friend. In half a year, Tianxing City will hold a large-scale auction that is held every sixty years. You will be able to see many extremely rare treasures then.
I got the seven-color soil from the last auction, and there should be some spiritual materials in my little friend’s jade slip.”
Seeing Luo Hong's move, Master Tianhuo continued:
"But if you want to see that kind of spiritual materials, you must participate in the Heavenly Star Auction for those who have formed a core or higher. The ordinary auctions that are only open to monks who have established a foundation or below will not find anything that is attractive to you."
"Haha, since the senior has taken the initiative to bring up this matter, there is naturally a way to involve the junior. There is no need for the senior to keep it secret. If you have anything to say, please say it directly."
Luo Hong chuckled lightly, he believed that Master Tianhuo would not make the mistake without aim.
"To be honest, I was quite famous at that star auction, and Xing Palace specially reserved a box for me.
The monks who own the box can bring immortal cultivators of any level to participate in the auction.
All I want is for my little friend to help me a little while refining the ancient treasure.
Hehe, my little friend is not surprised at all. It seems that you deliberately let me guess this matter!
As expected of us casual cultivators, we are really good at scheming, but I am willing to be fooled!"
Master Tianhuo smiled bitterly and said that he knew clearly that Luo Hong dug a hole for him, but he still jumped in happily.
"Senior is joking, junior knows that after taking out the jade slip that day, senior can roughly guess what junior wants to refine.
So I didn't want to hide too much. In the past three years, I took the initiative to discuss some problems that may be encountered in refining the ancient treasure with my seniors.
The junior is deeply impressed by the senior's skill in refining weapons, and originally planned to invite the senior to help during the formal refining, but I didn't expect the senior to be so impatient."
Of course Luo Hong would not admit that he had plotted against the other party. In order to reduce the resentment in the other party's heart, he gently flattered him.
"Actually, this is all a trivial matter. The key is whether I have enough spiritual stones. If I guessed correctly, I want to refine an ancient treasure with five elements. Then there are still three items of the same level as the Zhenhai Crystal.
Spiritual material.
To ensure that we get them from the Tianxing Auction, we must prepare at least 20,000 spirit stones."
