The main peak is Ximen Mansion.
After a few days of instruction, Chen Ping began to try to forge his own magic sword.
In the weapon refining workshop, every place where goblin fire can be drawn has been made into a forging furnace.
Chen Ping picked an unused forging furnace and sat down, putting the activation token into the sunken card slot. Then he took out a magic sword base plate that had been made in advance.
After concentrating and calming down, his spiritual power suddenly swayed.
The goblin fire underground burst out with a swoosh, and the magic sword base suspended in the sky was suddenly surrounded by blazing flames.
It is enough to use the flames of the Spark Stone to forge a first-level magic sword, and using earth fire is already a luxury.
Chen Ping didn't need to use Dan Fire at all.
When the magic sword was burned red, Chen Ping's consciousness moved slightly, and he slightly raised the bottom plate of the magic sword so that it was at the top of the flame, and then used his spiritual power to carve restrictions into the magic sword through the air.
This process is originally a very spiritually intensive process for the monks in the foundation building stage. Often, the spiritual energy is exhausted and exhausted before the forbidden lines are engraved.
But Chen Ping was already in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir, and his spiritual power reserves were more than four times that of ordinary monks in the same realm. Refining a first-level magic sword was an easy task for him.
But time consuming.
There are no shortcuts to this.
When the forbidden pattern was engraved about one-fifth of the way, Chen Ping's consciousness drove the sword again, letting it fall back into the earthly fire to be fired repeatedly. When it turned red again, it was taken out and immediately placed in the forging fluid next to it to quickly anneal.
The magic sword was submerged in the forging fluid, making a "bah, bah, bah" sound and emitting a large amount of white smoke.
Forging fluid is a liquid made from animal blood, ore powder, spiritual plant powder and many other natural materials and earthly treasures mixed together. It is specially used to temper magic weapons.
Different magic weapons require different methods and times of annealing. The flexibility, hardness, etc. of the magic sword are also closely related to annealing.
The first-level magic sword is relatively simple.
Under the control of Chen Ping's spiritual consciousness, when the annealing was completed, the magic sword once again stayed above the flame of the earth fire.
Chen Ping took advantage of the opportunity and continued to heat up.
Then continue engraving, heating, and annealing.
And so on.
Then.
Ding~
There was a soft sound, and a small gap opened in the middle of the magic sword.
It's really not that simple.
Chen Ping took photos of magic swords in high temperatures, carefully observed the cracks, and summarized his experience in forging magic weapons for the first time.
There is a big difference between forging magic weapons and drawing talismans. The biggest feature of forging magic weapons is that there are many key processes.
This is how the forbidden patterns are engraved.
Baking magic sword is like this.
Annealing is like this.
The same is true for the seriality between various links.
'The annealing process is to eliminate the dark lines produced by forbidden engraving, achieve recrystallization between the sword material and the forging fluid, and eliminate the residual stress that continues to expand outward. After the first annealing just now, it should be that the blue crystal powder added to the forging liquid was not enough, which prevented the solidification from being strong, resulting in cracks. '
'The cracks originate from here. This is where the sixth law pattern ends. Well, when the forbidden pattern was engraved, the spiritual power here was sent a little too fiercely, causing the sword body to produce extra pearlite. This should be the problem. '
'Is the firing uneven here? Wait, the flame of earth fire is divided into inner flame, middle flame and outer flame. The calcining effects of the three are very different. In the second stage, the calcining should be gentler, and it may be better to use the inner flame. '
'.'
Chen Ping slowly summarized the source of the first mistake based on his thoughts during the forging process and his own insights afterwards.
As a talisman master and formation master, he knows that cultivating the four arts of immortality is not an easy task.
Gotta take it slow.
He has enough patience.
After the summary is completed, the next step is the second time.
Then came the third time.
the fourth time.
A few days later, with a throbbing feeling, an additional text appeared on the panel.
[Weapon refining: First-level magic sword (entry level): 1/1000. 】
Finally got started.
Then just practice slowly.
He put down the magic sword and various tools, and felt that the sweat-smelling air in the stuffy weapon refining workshop was no longer so turbid.
It feels good to have a huge effort and finally be rewarded.
'I'm in a good mood today, so I won't practice any more and take a rest. '
Chen was in a happy mood, got up and went to the library in Ximen Mansion.
Because Ximen He had informed him in advance, Chen Ping entered the library easily.
These books are all collected by Ximen He himself and are related to weapon refining. Most of them are popular science or teaching books, specially for weapon refining disciples to browse nearby.
The library is not very big, but because they are all books on weapon refining, even though the book is small, it has all the necessary information and relevant introductions.
Chen Ping flipped through it for a while.
I deliberately read some popular science books on the retraining of magic weapons.
There are several steps to refining the magic weapon:
The first step is to understand clearly the function of the magic weapon itself and the forbidden patterns on the magic weapon.
This is the most basic step.
Only by understanding the original magic weapon can we use it.
The second step is to find out the flaws of the forbidden patterns that have been worn out and repair them, or improve or transform them according to your own characteristics.
That is to change the forbidden pattern to a limited extent.
The third step is to forge again.
Closing the book, Chen Ping thought thoughtfully:
'I have already figured out the characteristics of the Seven Star Longyuan Sword, that is, the forbidden pattern will appear when the sword intention is injected into it. As long as the sword intention is strong enough, the forbidden pattern can be clearly visible. '
'The Seven-Star Longyuan Sword itself focuses on the sword's intention and has no other functions. It has a very single function, so it doesn't need to be modified. It only needs to repair the damaged forbidden spell pattern. '
'The only thing you need to worry about is that the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword is an ancient treasure, and the forging method can be different from the modern weapon refining method. '
Chen Ping put away the books in his hand and continued to search for books on ancient treasure transformation.
Previously, I heard from the disciple who led the way that Ximen He, as a top swordsman, forged all his swords by himself.
Many are modified from existing ancient swords.
In this case, as a sword fanatic, he might also have a certain understanding of ancient forging techniques.
Sure enough, I found a book on ancient weapon refining in the corner of the bookshelf.
It describes the differences between the ancient method of refining weapons and the current general method of refining weapons. It is not only the difference in methods, but also the differences in forging fluids.
The materials required are different.
Chen Ping read carefully and memorized all the information whether he understood it or not.
Then I went to find Ximen He.
Unexpectedly, Ximen He was not there, and he learned from his disciples that Ximen He had gone to the main peak hall to attend a meeting.
It is said that all the peak masters and elders have gone.
Don't know what happened.
Chen Ping could only return to the library again, and did not wait until Ximen He came back in the evening.
In the living room, after seeing the ceremony, Chen Ping made it clear what his purpose was. Now, the calamity of the golden elixir has been successfully passed, and he has even been promoted to the middle stage of the golden elixir. After leaving Lingxiao Sect for so long, it's time to go back.
Moreover, he also wanted to know Xiyue's situation.
"Junior Brother Chen is going back to Lingxiao Sect?" Ximen He was a little surprised after hearing Chen Ping's intention.
How long have you been refining weapons here?
There are no such good conditions when returning to Lingxiao Sect. If you have questions about weapon refining, you may not always be able to find someone to consult.
"It has been a few years since I left Lingxiao Sect. Now that the Demon Clan is in turmoil, it is really not convenient to stay here for a long time. I have reached the threshold of refining weapons. I will think about it on my own after I go back. If I don't understand something, I will bother Senior Brother Ximen. I hope Senior Brother Don't mind." Chen Ping smiled slightly.
"Junior Brother Chen, you don't have to be polite. If you have any doubts, just come to me at any time. It's not easy to refine the weapon, and it's even more difficult to refine the elixir and fire magic weapon. Junior Brother, please don't be impatient after returning. With Junior Brother's talent, it takes ten You can always gain something in a few years." Ximen He nodded.
"Junior brother feels relieved with these words, so I would like to thank you in advance." Chen Ping bowed and thanked him.
Then he asked Ximen He to buy some accessories, mainly some sword base plates for ancient weapon refining.
These things may not be available in stores outside.
There are also some rare ore powders and other raw materials in the ancient forging fluid.
Chen Ping didn't mention it, which could be purchased in stores outside.
Finally, I asked Ximen He for a jade slip for refining the ancient elixir and fire magic weapon.
"It's good for Junior Brother Chen to go back to Lingxiao Sect. Hey, now the demon clan is getting bigger and bigger. They reunite whenever they can. No one can tell what it will be like in the future?" Ximen He sighed.
Chen Ping was startled. This was the first time he saw Ximen He's frowning face after coming to Ximen Mansion for so long:
"What does Senior Brother Ximen mean by this?"
"Hey." Ximen He sighed:
"Have you ever heard of Yuehua Continent?"
Yuehua Continent?
Chen Ping seemed to have heard the name of this continent somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Before Chen Ping could reply, he said again:
"Falled."
Fallen?
The entire continent fell?
Chen Ping was shocked. Even though he had a guess, he couldn't help but ask: "What does the fall mentioned by Senior Brother Ximen mean?"
"That's what junior brother is thinking, it was invaded by the demon clan. To be precise, the demon clan used certain means to introduce a large amount of pure demonic energy into the Yuehua Continent. The entire continent is no longer suitable for human monks to practice. Just now, the headmaster summoned us to discuss this matter, and it was about this matter." Ximen He looked sad.
Chen Ping was extremely shocked.
That's an entire continent.
"Don't you care about high-level human monks from other continents?" Chen Ping was confused.
"It doesn't matter, of course it does. This is a catastrophe that affects the entire human world. Everyone shares weal and woe, so how can we ignore it?"
"But the demons did not choose to confront them head-on. Instead, they hid in the dark and played dirty tricks, which made the Yuehua Continent so restless that the monks in the Yuehua Continent chose to flee. This is not easy to deal with. And such a pure person Demonic aura and miasma are not so easy to dispel.”
Ximen He continued:
"This is just one of the reasons. What's more important is that more and more demons are appearing in various places, and they all have too much to take care of themselves. For example, in Xihuang, Junior Brother Chen must have known that the most powerful Xiyue Master My uncle has disappeared for several years."
Chen Ping stopped for a moment.
Xiyue, that was a special situation.
Xiyue is the supporter of the tunnel confinement. Even Senior Sister Guan doesn't know this identity, let alone Ximen He.
But what Ximen He said makes sense. Xiyue has a special situation, and other Yuanying monks also have their own things to be busy with.
It is possible to have no time to care and exist objectively.
"Where is Xizhou? How is the situation in Xizhou?" Chen Ping was most concerned about the surrounding cultivation environment.
"Xizhou is okay for the time being. But some parts of the Piaomiao Continent have also fallen. For example, Senluo Continent, the northern half of Senluo Continent is now inaccessible."
"Many of the original Cultivation Cities have been destroyed by the demons using special means, leaving the Cultivation City covered with towering trees and showing signs of dilapidation everywhere." Ximen He said worriedly.
Chen Ping was shocked again when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, Senluozhou has already suffered.
It seems that in the more than ten years since I have been racing against time to practice, too many major events have happened outside.
If even Senluo Continent has suffered, then some other continents may inevitably be destroyed by Yiwu.
Yuehua Continent is definitely not an exception.
It seems that the darkest moment in the human world has arrived early.
And there is no escape.
"."
After chatting for a while, Chen Ping formally bid farewell to Ximen He.
Back at the Ninth Peak, because Yu Lingchun and Senior Sister Guan were still in retreat, Chen Ping did not bother them, but said hello to the other senior brothers and then left Tianyan Sect.
He first went to Tianyan City.
I bought a bunch of forging liquid pellets and the raw materials for the forging liquid. The forging liquid pellets only need to be taken back and mixed into water to form the forging liquid.
As for the raw materials of the forging fluid, the corresponding raw materials are replenished in a timely manner according to the consumption of the forging fluid.
They are available in ordinary raw material stores.
Some rare ancient methods have been redeemed from Ximen He.
In addition, I also bought some base plates of ordinary magic swords, spark stones, ground furnaces, etc.
I bought some base plates and refining books for formation equipment.
The refining of array weapons also belongs to weapon refining.
I used to work hard to buy them at auctions, but now that I know how to refine them, of course I should just slowly refine them myself.
A total of more than 2,000 high-grade spiritual stones were spent on this trip. All the savings over the years were spent at once.
These supplies are not cheap once they reach the third level. In particular, some of the raw materials required for the refining of ancient elixirs and fire magic weapons are even more expensive.
But it's a good thing that Ximen He can provide it. Otherwise, you might not know how much time it would take to slowly collect these materials.
Fortunately, I also got 70 high-grade spiritual stones from Senior Sister Guan, and I also got 50 high-grade spiritual stones from Dao Dao, otherwise it would not be enough.
After having a successful harvest in Tianyan City, Chen Ping patrolled the Bamboo Talisman shop and also inquired about news in the city.
There is no secret about the fall of some places. In Tianyan Sect, people can always talk about it.
Everyone looked worried.
Walking on the street, the relaxed and leisurely look on the monks' faces was gone.
Instead, he was in a hurry.
"Have you heard? There are rumors that after thousands of years, the boundary wall will be activated again between the continents to isolate each continent."
"Are you talking nonsense? What's the use of this?"
"Who knows? There are rumors that this is the case. It is said that it forces some monks to choose to fight to the death instead of running to a safer mainland, especially those Jindan and Nascent Soul monks."
"Real or false? If so, should we also escape from the Western Wasteland?"
"Escape? Where to escape? It's the same everywhere."
"."
As Chen Ping walked in the city, he could hear other monks talking at any time. He said nothing.
The most discussed topic in the city is the restart of the boundary wall between continents. Chen Ping couldn't tell whether it was true or not, but if it was true, it probably wasn't as simple a reason as these casual cultivators said of forcing high-level monks to fight.
He sighed.
After buying what you need, leave in a hurry.
Then set off back to Lingxiao Sect.
