This canyon, which used to be hidden deep at the bottom of Lop Nur Lake, should have existed for tens of thousands of years. After years of corrosion by the lake and decades of weathering, there are many broken cliffs and shallow caves on the cliffs on both sides.
It didn't take long for Huang Ming and Xiao Hua to find a shallow cave with three sides concave inward and one facing outward on a mountain wall near the top of the canyon.
There is an overhanging rock above this shallow cave, which can provide shelter from wind and rain, and the floor of the shallow cave is a flat sandstone, which can be used to draw the fire control array and refine the magic weapon.
After entering the shallow cave, drawing the fire control array, and sitting down cross-legged, Huang Ming asked with a smile.
"Hey, Liangdan, it may take more than three months for me to conquer the magic weapon. What will you do? Will you help me protect the magic weapon?"
"Guard me, I was struck by lightning last time I helped you. I don't care this time. I have to recover first, and then you take your magic weapon. And I, hehe, I want to refine a sky-bending stone. ".
Xiao Hua also replied to Huang Ming with a smile.
In fact, since he left the temple, he has been thinking about the ancient demon's sky-mending stone. The huge energy that the sky-bending stone finally emitted has made him unforgettable.
"No? Are you really planning to practice by yourself? Can you do it?"
Huang Ming was a little surprised.
"What's wrong? These five stones have been purified. I just need to put them together. I have refined the Five Thunder Beads and the Void Spirit Sword before, so I don't have a big problem controlling the power of the five elements."
"Okay then, Liangdan, do you think the stone in the Ancient Demon's hand is the Sky-Mending Stone? If it is really the Sky-Mending Stone, why is it in our Little Lingtian? And after so many years, why hasn't it been robbed by anyone? Walk?".
Xiao Hua shook his head: "It's definitely not the Sky Mending Stone. I saw the three statues in the temple before and I believed it. But then I thought about it. Nuwa was a god from the prehistoric era. Even if it really existed back then, it was definitely not like this one. ".
"I have read "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". The book says that Gonggong, the god of water, was defeated by Zhurong, the god of fire. In anger, he destroyed Mount Buzhou, which supported the heaven and earth. Nuwa could not bear the disaster and had to refine 36,501 Each colored stone was used to patch the sky, but in the end only 36,500 were used, leaving one. Legend has it that the colored stone later became Sun Wukong."
"Becoming Sun Wukong? Isn't this too ridiculous? Journey to the West is just a novel, and you still take it seriously."
"Of course I don't believe it, that's why I think the piece in the Ancient Demon's hand is not the Sky Mending Stone."
"Then how do you explain the five-color crystal stone in the ancient demon's hand?".
Huang Ming was still curious.
"What about this? Well, how should I put it? That stone is definitely not a sky-mending stone, but it should be a heaven-and-earth spiritual stone that the ancient demons refined themselves based on the legend of Nuwa mending the sky."
"Refining it yourself? What do you mean, that's an imitation of the Sky-Mending Stone?"
Huang Ming understood.
"That's right, as you said, if there really is a Heaven-Mending Stone, it is either a divine weapon or an immortal weapon. The ancient demon is at least in the late Nascent Soul stage, so how can he use it? So it must be an imitation. Since he can imitate it, , so can I.”
Xiao Hua was a little proud when he said this. It would be great if he could also refine the imitation Sky-Mending Stone.
"Sister, why do you have better luck than me? Ah, you can get treasures by going to the secret realm by yourself, but you can get treasures when we go together? Why can't it be me?"
Huang Ming became depressed again.
"Hey, this is fate, or your opportunity hasn't come yet." Xiao Hua couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"Your sister, why do I miss you more and more? OK, OK, OK, I'm going to conquer my natal magic weapon."
Huang Ming didn't want to talk to Xiao Hua anymore. Too few magic weapons had become a worry for him.
After that, Huang Ming fired a green light into the fire control array on the ground and began to formally conquer the red sword.
The natal magic weapon of Huang Ming's "Fire Flame Technique" is called Fierce Flame Sword. This sword, like Xiao Hua's Five Thunder Beads, is a specific magic weapon that matches the skill.
Once conquered, in addition to controlling the sword with spiritual thoughts like an ordinary magical weapon, you can also cast some mysterious fire spells in "Fire Flame Technique" directly through the sword.
Originally, the refining materials for this Fierce Flame Sword were very difficult to find. It would take a long time for Huang Ming to refining it by himself. Fortunately, Huang Ming was lucky. Now he only needs to subdue it with compound stones to use it.
The "compound stone" is a rare spiritual stone with psychic power. All synthetic treasures that have spirituality but no owner can be re-refined by adding the compound stone to open up the closed spirituality in these treasures again. Just re-enter the matching talisman and blood essence to conquer it.
Of course, to conquer this kind of synthetic treasure that already has spirituality, not only will the refining time be longer, but it will also cause some damage to the original spirituality of the treasure.
But this is not important. What is important is that as long as the treasure is conquered, the treasure's spirituality can be restored and improved accordingly with the new owner and cultivation and nourishment.
Seeing Huang Ming begin to control the pill fire, Xiao Hua stood up and drew another one next to Huang Ming's fire control array, and then began to use his skills to heal his injuries. After more than ten days of recovery, Xiao Hua activated the fire control array and began to practice. Make the sky-repairing stone.
In the shallow cave, the elixir fire rose, and in the mid-air, rays of light shone everywhere. Three months passed quickly.
As Huang Ming's last mouthful of essence and blood spurted in, the "Fire Flame Sword" in the fire control array appeared. Finally, Huang Ming was completely subdued and no longer resisted. Bursts of red light were flying up and down under the guidance of Huang Ming's spiritual thoughts.
"Huh..., shua...".
After a burst of flames, gravel flew wildly. Huang Ming used his spiritual mind to control the Fiery Flame Sword to spray a stream of flames at the rock wall. Then he controlled the sword in the air and cut a deep sword mark on the rock wall.
"Damn it, finally, I finally have my magic weapon."
Huang Ming was so excited that he choked up and burst into tears.
"congratulations".
Xiao Hua next to him weakly congratulated Huang Ming, and then continued to control the pill fire.
"Why aren't you healed yet? Didn't you say that these stones don't need to be purified and can be synthesized directly?".
Huang Ming took the Fiery Flame Sword into his body, feeling a little puzzled and a little gloating about his misfortune.
"It's troublesome because it doesn't need to be purified. The shell of the stone is actually a sealed container."
"Seal the container? What do you mean?".
Huang Ming didn't understand, so he walked to Xiao Hua and squatted down.
"How should I put it? The power of the five elements in these five crystal stones is not the stone itself, but is sealed inside by external force. I must refine the shell of the stone to synthesize the power of the five elements. But once the shell is refined, If it changes, the power of the five elements inside will be lost, and I can't control it!"
"You can't control it? Didn't you say you have experience?"
"This is different from the materials I have refined before. My Five Thunder Beads are made from the Five Elements Demonic Pill, and the Void Spirit Sword is made from the old vine in the cave. The power of the Five Elements inside is all inherent in the material itself. ".
"But the power of the Five Elements inside these stones has been sealed in. Once the shell is refined, the power of the Five Elements inside will be released instantly," Xiao Hua explained.
"Then why don't you stop practicing now? Don't waste those stones."
"Do you think I don't want to stop? The problem is that I have refined more than half of the shells of these five crystal stones, and the power of the five elements inside may burst out at any time. I am using my magic power to suppress it now. If it happens now Stop, then we can take a plane to see the mushroom cloud."
"Take a plane to see mushroom clouds?"
Huang Ming was stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment.
