Tian Xiaoding accidentally met Xia Nuannuan, the fifth beauty among the seven beauties of Hua Xuanzhou, in the secret realm of Lingtai Island. And it was Xia Nuannuan who took action together with her three junior sisters at the critical moment to save Xiao Ding's life.
This made Xiao Ding feel even more likely that he would meet his wife Ouyang Qing in this secret realm.
He had heard Xu Guangyao and Lu Dailing mention it before. Among the seven beauties of Huaxuanzhou, Ouyang Qing was already a foundation-building monk, while the Mei sisters and Mu Yiyi failed to establish a foundation. Therefore, they could have the opportunity to enter this Lingtai Island. In the secret realm, only Ouyang Qing can make Xiao Ding look forward to it.
After Xiaoding entered the secret realm of Lingtai Island, within just a few days, he had already met Lu Nianuan and Xia Nuannuan from the Seven Beauties of Huaxuanzhou. So, is the probability of meeting his wife Ouyang Qing very high?
This time, Xiao Ding did not rush to ask Xia Nuannuan for news about other countries. Having learned from the past, he already had experience in his heart and knew that although these beauties looked very beautiful on the surface, deep down they were dissatisfied or jealous of the other members of the Seven Beauties.
If I were to ask Xia Nuannuan for news about other beauties like last time, maybe this Xia Nuannuan would leave angrily like Lu Nianuan.
Xiao Ding looked at the dead Golden Ling Goose on the ground, then turned to Xia Nuannuan and the four of them and said, "Should the five of us share this Golden Ling Goose equally?"
Xia Nuannuan shook her head and said: "I heard that the feathers of the Golden Lingyan are a good material for refining weapons, but we don't know how to refine weapons. Fellow Taoist Tian, if this Golden Lingyan is useful to you, you can take it. Go ahead and we won’t part with you. We’ll just go to the forest to collect some oil from the blue-grained sweetgum tree.”
Xiao Ding was very happy when he heard that. After all, the golden feathers are still very useful to Xiao Ding, so he said boldly: "The golden feathers of this golden feather goose are indeed very useful to me." , but after all, it was killed by the five of us working together. If all of them were given to me, wouldn’t your efforts be in vain? Otherwise, several fellow Taoists also helped me save my life, but they refused to cooperate with me. I will share this golden goose equally. Then, I will help several Taoist friends to refine a few furnaces of elixirs or magic weapons. I know some alchemy and weapon refining techniques. Do you have any elixirs that you need or want to forge? If you have any magical weapons, just tell me and I can help you refine or forge them now."
"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Tian knows how to refine elixirs and weapons. This is great!" Xia Nuannuan said happily, with a surprised smile on her face.
Xiao Ding said modestly: "I only know a little bit about what kind of elixir or artifact you want. As long as I can refine it, I will try my best to help you refine it."
Seeing that Xiao Ding was speaking very sincerely, Xia Nuannuan said unceremoniously: "Okay, fellow Taoist Tian, I heard that Jin Lingyu can increase the speed of magic weapons. There happens to be Jin Lingyu here, so can I ask you to help me?" Let me add some golden feathers to this pair of golden rings to increase its speed." After saying that, Xia Nuannuan handed her pair of high-grade magic weapons to Xiao Ding.
Xiao Ding glanced at the pair of golden rings and saw that they were only at the level of high-grade magic weapons. For monks in the foundation-building stage, medium and high-grade magic weapons were enough. The utensils are somewhat unable to keep up with the cultivation level.
So, Xiao Ding looked at the sword held in Xia Nuannuan's other hand. It was only a low-grade magic weapon. Low-grade magic weapons could still be used by monks in the Qi training period. But for monks in the foundation building stage, it is a bit unsuitable.
This may be the main reason why Xia Nuannuan had been using the pair of golden rings to attack instead of using the flying sword during the fight.
Therefore, Xiao Ding said to Xia Nuannuan: "Give Daoyou Xia's sword to me as well, and I will help you add some materials to upgrade it."
After saying that, Xiao Ding glanced at the swords in the hands of the other three women and saw that their swords were all of the same style and the same level. They must be weapons issued uniformly by the sect. These low-level magic weapon-level swords , for them, it is obviously no longer suitable.
Therefore, Xiao Ding continued to say to the three women: "Please give me the swords of my fellow Taoists, and I will help you upgrade them together."
Xia Nuannuan and her three junior sisters were naturally overjoyed when they saw Xiao Ding taking the initiative to help them upgrade their swords. They happily handed the sword to Xiao Ding and thanked: "Thank you, Taoist Tian, for your help."
Xiao Ding took the four swords and the pair of golden rings, and said to the four girls: "Fellow Taoists, please wait a moment." After saying that, he stood at the edge of the forest, and then created a barrier to isolate himself from the barrier. Within the boundary, people outside the boundary cannot see themselves.
After all, he has too many secrets, so it would be better if few people knew about them.
Xia Nuannuan and others also understand Xiao Ding's intention. In the world of cultivation, everyone has their own privacy. It is normal to not want others to know their privacy.
In the world of cultivation, there are so many things about killing people, seizing treasures, and taking advantage of wealth. If you are not prepared at all, you may lose your life.
Within the barrier, Xiao Ding took out his Hao Furnace and some refining materials he had obtained before, and then began to refining the four swords and the pair of golden rings, adding materials to upgrade them.
Since Xiao Ding has now reached the twelfth level of Qi training, the spiritual fire in his body has also increased in power. This will also assist in improving his weapon refining skills and alchemy skills.
With his previous level of weapon refining, he could forge high-level magic weapon-level artifacts, and he could also upgrade them based on low-level magic weapon-level artifacts.
Now with the improvement of his cultivation level, he feels that he may now be able to directly forge low-level magic weapon-level artifacts.
This time, he just upgraded the artifacts based on the magic weapon level. This is not too difficult for Xiao Ding now.
It didn't take long for Xiao Ding to strengthen the four swords from the low-level magic weapon level to the mid-level magic weapon level. He added a small amount of dragon candle stone, golden feathers, black gold, cold iron, red copper and other basic materials to each sword. Re-melting, forging and quenching are carried out on the original basis.
As for Xia Nuannuan's pair of golden rings, Xiao Ding added a small amount of glassite, golden feathers, and a small amount of black gold, cold iron, red copper and other basic materials. This pair of golden rings was promoted from the high-level magic weapon level to the low-level magic weapon level.
Jin Lingyu can increase the speed attribute, while dragon candle stone and glass stone are both materials that increase hardness and toughness.
When Xiao Ding walked out of the barrier holding the four swords and the pair of golden rings, he found that Xia Nuannuan and the others had entered the forest to collect tree oil.
So Xiao Ding returned to the isolation barrier, took out the Liwang Cauldron, and refined several batches of blue-level low-grade spiritual energy pills and white-level high-grade spiritual energy pills.
The main ingredients for refining these two spiritual energy pills, white-grained maplewood and blue-grained maplewood, are both available in Xiao Ding's Qiankun Pot. The white-grained maplewood was something he had obtained before, and the blue-grained maplewood was something he had just put into the Qiankun Pot.
In fact, whether it is white veins or blue veins, they are just different grades. They are actually the same kind of liquidambar. The tree oil of liquidambar is the main medicine for refining spiritual energy pills. Different grades of materials will lead to different grades of the refined pills.
After Xiao Ding left the barrier this time, the four girls Xia Nuannuan had already collected tree oil and returned and were waiting for Xiao Ding.
While returning the four swords and the pair of golden rings to the four girls, Xiao Ding also gave them the furnaces of spiritual energy pills he had just refined. This made the four girls extremely happy.
They thanked him repeatedly and said many kind words to Xiao Ding. The four girls never expected that Xiao Ding not only upgraded their weapons, but also gave them so many spiritual energy pills, which was beyond their surprise.
For monks who don't know how to refine elixirs and weapons, if they want to get elixirs or upgrade weapons, they need to spend spiritual stones to buy them or hire someone to refine them.
Xiao Ding accepted the golden goose and compensated the four girls with free elixirs and upgraded weapons. This made the four girls' first impression of Xiao Ding extraordinarily good.
Therefore, Xia Nuannuan asked: "Brother Tian, I wonder where you plan to go next?" After receiving Xiao Ding's elixirs and weapon upgrades, she also changed her name for Xiao Ding. Obviously, calling Xiao Ding Senior Brother Tian is much closer than Daoist Fellow Tian.
Xiao Ding shook his head and said: "I don't know where to go. I don't have a map of Lingtai Island, and I'm not familiar with this island. I can only figure out where to go."
Xia Nuannuan asked curiously: "Senior Brother Tian, before you came to this secret realm, didn't your sect give you a map of Lingtai Island?"
Xiao Ding smiled lightly and said, "I don't have a sect."
Xia Nuannuan suddenly understood and said: "How about this? Our fellow juniors sent a messenger to notify a few of us, saying that they had discovered a spirit stone vein, but there were powerful monsters guarding it. We went over to help, and I saw that although Senior Brother Tian is only at the Great Perfection of Qi training, his actual combat strength is not inferior to that of the Foundation Establishment monks. Why don't Senior Brother Tian also come with us to the spirit stone veins?"
When Xiao Ding heard this, he thought to himself, there is actually a vein of spirit stone?
