As time went by, under the burning of the earth fire, the entire mass of black iron no longer contained impurities, and its size became two-thirds of its previous size.
Ning Tao controlled his magic power and took out the giant claw of an earth scorpion. As soon as he placed it in the earth fire flames, it was vaporized, which made Ning Tao stunned.
However, Ning Tao did not adjust the temperature of the refined black iron in time. The two were fundamentally different. The too high temperature of the earth fire directly vaporized the giant claws of the earth elemental scorpion.
So Ning Tao lowered the intensity of the earth fire. As the flame became smaller and smaller, he controlled his magic power and took out the giant claw of an earth elemental scorpion from the storage bag and placed it in the flame.
As the flames burned, the giant claws of the Earth Scorpion gradually melted, and finally turned into a ball of liquid the size of a fist.
Ning Tao manipulated the two and slowly brought them together, and saw that although the two were partially fused, there were still many places that were wrapped up, somewhat distinct, and could not be completely integrated.
Ning Tao placed the two on the flame, increased the firepower, and gradually the two slowly merged, eventually turning into a dark yellow liquid.
As the flame burned, it slowly turned into a black mass. Seeing this situation, Ning Tao didn't know that he had failed.
Ning Tao failed in the second step, but it did not shock Ning Tao. Because he had experience in learning alchemy and talisman techniques, he did not imagine that he could succeed in the first attempt.
If professions such as alchemist and weapon refiner were so simple, they would not become a profession for monks.
Except for a few extremely talented monks in the world of immortality, most monks rely on constant study and practice.
Therefore, in the world of immortal cultivation, among those casual cultivators who have no foundation behind them, there are very few weapon refiners and alchemists.
It is not because they are not talented in these areas, but because they simply do not have so many resources and materials to provide them with opportunities to increase experience and continue to learn and progress.
Therefore, after Ning Tao failed, he did not rush to continue trying. Instead, he looked at the jade slips in his hand and summed up his experience and lessons.
Looking at the jade slips for refining, Ning Tao finally figured out where the source was. After refining a material, it must use flames to control its shape so that it can be smoothly fused together during fusion.
After figuring out the joints, Ning Tao began to try again. After several failures, a thick dagger half a foot long was finally displayed in front of Ning Tao.
Now, here is the final step of adding the ban.
For this magical weapon, Ning Tao's first choice is the two restraints of earth element and sharpness.
As the magic in Ning Tao's hand kept changing, the mana poured into the dagger kept changing its form, and finally a mana restriction was outlined and fixed in it.
However, Ning Tao was not ready to stop at this time, but continued to outline the second restriction.
Ning Tao, who had just chosen the Earth Element Restriction, was going to add a sharpness restriction to it, so that it could rise to the level of a mid-grade magic weapon.
As the spells in his hands continued to change, Ning Tao felt that the sharp restraint that was going to be drawn during the period was directly dispersed inside, and the resulting mana fluctuations directly damaged the earth element restraint that had been drawn up before.
Ning Tao held this dark yellow dagger in his hand, with a look of thought on his face.
After an unknown amount of time, I threw the dagger aside, took out the materials, and continued to try.
After several failures, he finally refined a medium-grade magic weapon that contained two restrictions: earth element and sharpness.
But it's because as the magical weapon embryo enters the first restriction, it becomes more and more difficult for the magic power to outline the subsequent restrictions, and the connection between the restrictions must also be considered.
The various restrictions in a complete magic weapon do not exist alone, but are all related to each other. If you are not careful, all your previous efforts will be wasted.
Looking at the dark yellow dagger in his hand, Ning Tao kept making gestures in his hand and named it Tu Yuan Dagger.
Then he took out the Aoki Shield to activate a barrier, then poured mana into the Earth Elemental Dagger in his hand, and stabbed towards the barrier created by the Aoki Shield.
A small ripple rippled on the barrier. Seeing this scene, Ning Tao showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Ning Tao, who had been refining for two days in a row, felt a little tired. He sat cross-legged to adjust his breath and took out an elixir to start practicing. However, Ning Tao planned to use this place as a retreat place to practice both refining and practicing.
.........
A month passed quickly, and after countless attempts, Ning Tao finally refined the first medium-grade magic weapon with three restrictions: earth element, sharpness, and ruyi.
Only then did Shi Shiran walk out of the Earth Fire Room and the Weapon Refining Hall. Looking at the twinkling starry sky, Ning Tao felt as if he was seeing something from another world.
Taking a deep breath, the imperial weapon turned into a stream of light and cut through the starry sky.
Come to the sect mission hall, take away the recently collected snake essence and blood, and return to the cave.
First come to the medicine garden to check the growth of the elixir, and pick the mature elixirs and put them into jade boxes for storage.
He planted new elixir seeds in the original position, and then used the magic to water these elixirs.
After that, he went to the stone room where the Luan Egg and the Demonic Vulture Egg were located, checked their situation, and arranged a blood contract to increase the connection between the two.
This inspection revealed that the baby bird inside the magic vulture egg has already taken shape, and it is estimated that it will hatch out within a few months.
Finally, we came to the spirit beast room where the Tu Yuan Scorpion was. The sleeping Tu Yuan Scorpion sensed Ning Tao's arrival and hurriedly crawled out of the nest. With its large pincers and scorpion tail raised, it surrounded Ning Tao and screamed. Call.
Seeing this scene, Ning Tao took out a few animal food pills from the storage bag and fed them to these earth element scorpions.
The Tu Yuan Scorpion, who had eaten an animal food pill, was not satisfied and continued to squeak and scream around Ning Tao, just like a child who has not had enough to eat but still asks his parents for food. After Ning Tao laughed and scolded the foodie, he took out a few animal food pills and fed them to the earth element scorpions one by one.
The Tu Yuan Scorpion, who had eaten its fill, rubbed Ning Tao's calf affectionately, turned around and returned to the nest, falling into a deep sleep.
When I came to the two spiritual fields outside the cave, I found that the spiritual rice that was supposed to be heading was a little wilted, and only some of the relatively healthy spiritual rice had grown ears.
Seeing this situation, Ning Tao thought that he needed to recruit a handyman disciple to help take care of the cave.
Thinking of this, Ning Tao had to return to the sect's mission hall again and accepted a mission to recruit a handyman disciple who would feed the spiritual beasts and take care of the spiritual fields and elixirs.
Returned to the cave and fell into a deep sleep.
After a night of silence, Ning Tao felt that the formation was being touched after a sound sleep. He stood up and walked out of the cave. At this time, the sun was shining brightly outside.
Sensing that the Qi-training period disciple holding a jade token from the outside world looked a little confused, he opened the formation restriction and let the outsiders in.
When this Qi-training disciple arrived near the cave, Ning Tao stood at the pool and shouted: "Zhang Shi."
The Qi-training disciple who was walking forward turned his head when he heard this. He saw Ning Tao, a little embarrassed, walking towards him. He didn't know what he was thinking.
After a moment, he saluted respectfully as if he had made up his mind: "Uncle Ning."
Ning Tao waved his hand after hearing this, patted Zhang Shi's shoulder and said with a smile: "Zhang Shi, I haven't seen you for a few years. You have changed your temper. Just call me Ning Tao. We started together in the beginning, so we don't have to worry about the sect." If you don't want to follow these common etiquette, just call me Senior Brother Ning."
Zhang Shi was stunned when he heard this, looked up at Ning Tao gratefully, and said, "Senior Brother Ning."
Ning Tao looked at the changed young man in front of him and recalled the scene when they came to Yaowang Sect together.
At that time, Zhang Shi was still a lively, cheerful, smart, and somewhat arrogant child. Recalling the image of this child who once studied with him in the Taoist Academy, the appearance of the somewhat restrained young man in front of him slowly overlapped.
There was some emotion in my heart, maybe the two people's trajectories had staggered when they fell into Dan Chenzi's eyes.
He led Zhang Shi around the entire hill and told Zhang Shi that his future task was mainly to take care of various spiritual herbs and two spiritual fields outside the cave.
In addition, don't go near the beehive easily and provoke these jade bees. If there are any tasks in the future, we will arrange them again.
As for the remuneration, it is calculated based on the contribution value of 50 per month.
After hearing this, Zhang Shi was secretly grateful. Normally, for the task of taking care of the cave, he would only be given twenty or thirty contribution points per month.
Although there are many spiritual herbs outside Ningtao Cave, they are messy and the task is relatively heavy.
But Ning Tao is willing to hand over all these tasks to himself, which means that he can practice here, which is far more beneficial than practicing outside.
Ning Tao returned to the cave, leaving Zhang Shi alone to take care of the elixir and rice outside the cave.
During these three days, Ning Tao stayed on the hilltop of his home, feeding fish, reading books, and getting rid of the impact of staying in the Earth Fire Chamber for a long time on his state of mind.
By the way, I observed Zhang Shi's attitude. I haven't seen him for a few years. Zhang Shi has indeed changed a lot. He has changed from a relatively out-of-touch character to a hard-working and steady character.
After seeing Zhang Shi's recent performance, Ning Tao felt relieved and went to the Earth Fire Room again to start a new round of weapon refining.
There is no time to practice in the mountains, time always flies by, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
In addition to daily practice, Ning Tao also often goes to several senior brothers and familiar foundation-building monks to discuss practice together.
Or go to the Lecture Pavilion, which can only be entered by inner disciples, and listen to the sermons given by the Golden elixir monks every six months.
With the accumulation of a large amount of materials, Ning Tao suddenly transformed from a novice weapon refiner to a veteran weapon refiner who can skillfully refine high-grade magical weapons. He is only one step away from being able to refine top-grade magical weapons.
In terms of cultivation, he successfully reached the third level of foundation building two months ago.
The spiritual consciousness has also successfully reached a distance of three thousand feet, which has almost reached the basic requirements for practicing the "Tiandu Forging God Art".
So Ning Tao was ready to put this practice on the agenda.
And his own cave has also become well-organized under Zhang Shi's care. Zhang Shi will collect some mature elixirs and store them, give them to himself, and then sow new elixir seeds again.
Seeing Zhang Shi's diligent appearance, Ning Tao officially asked Zhang Shi to move his training place to the foot of the hill to make it easier for him to come and go. …
