The rocks in Zhoushan Mountain are not only hard, but also have a very stubborn structure, so they are extremely difficult to be affected by external magic means. Ordinary refining methods have no meaning to it at all. Zhang Yan had thought about this before taking action.
But after the formation was actually launched, Zhou Shanshanshi still found it difficult to face Zhang Yan's black and white pill fire, which was always unfavorable. Even at the beginning, the black and white pill fire seemed unable to shake the rocks of Zhoushan Mountain at all. It was not until more than a month later that Zhang Yan discovered that the mountain rocks that had been burned by the black and white elixir fire showed some signs of softening.
Just like lava underground.
But after more than a month of scorching, the power of the black and white flames was pushed to its extreme. The person who knows the most clearly, besides Zhang Yan himself, is Wang Nian, the host who has been controlling the operation of the formation and scheduling the use of many powers in the furnace. While he was horrified by Master's weird and terrifying black and white Taoist elixir, he also breathed a sigh of relief. If it can be roasted until soft, it means it can be refined. Otherwise, no matter how good the mountain stone is, it will not be able to be endowed with more power and mystery and become an immortal weapon.
But problems also emerged, and the four masters and apprentices did not have many happy moments.
"Why can't this mountain rock be deformed by rubbing?" Wang Nian was surprised and communicated with his master and his junior brothers and sisters in time.
According to Wang Nian's idea, he first pulled off the softened Zhoushan rocks and put them aside, so that he could continue to roast the deep parts and speed up the overall refining progress. At the same time, the torn-off parts can also be quenched first to expel the impurities inside. This way, after purification, the characteristics and characteristics of the mountain stone can be doubled. It is also a necessary process that most people need to go through when refining weapons.
But this week, the mountains and rocks presented Wang Nian with a problem: some of the rocks on the surface were indeed soft, but it was impossible to tear them off like dough and put them aside. Because there is a force originating from the inside of the mountain rock that pulls it, making it impossible for Wang Nian to separate it.
"Try cutting." Zhang Yan also knows how to refine weapons, and knows that if the structure of the rock cannot be changed, it will have a great impact on the subsequent refinement process. Even a matter of success or failure.
Wang Nian shook his head and replied: "Master, I'm afraid it won't work. I have used the power of the formation to test the softened parts by cutting them, and the result is that I can still separate them. Even if these stones are soft, the surface hardness is still there. It seems that there is still no decay, and it even has a kind of resilience that it didn't have before.
I feel that if we want to follow our previous plan, it may not work. "
Even though it was just the beginning, Wang Nian keenly judged that Zhoushan Shanshi could not go through the refining process as smoothly as originally planned and needed to adapt.
Zhang Yan said no more and waited for his eldest disciple Wang Nian to make his own choice. When it comes to the whimsical ideas of weapon refining, he knows that he is not as good as his great disciple. If that's not the case, then just shut up and be an assistant.
Wang Nian indeed deserves Zhang Yan's trust. After only a short period of hesitation, Wang Nian expressed his thoughts. He planned to temper the Zhoushan mountain stone without cutting it and directly engrave the pattern of the magic circle, skipping the two intermediate processes.
"Although the mountain stone is difficult to cut, its interior is not traceless. There are some lines similar to meridians distributed in it. We can use these lines as paths to build natural magic circle passages. I think relying on Master's It should be possible to grow black and white elixir fire. At the same time, tempering can only be done in a stupid way, from the outside to the inside. There is no fancy tricks, you can only wait for time."
"Time is not important. Once you have an idea, start taking action. We will cooperate with you."
"good!"
Wang Nian calmed down again and focused all his attention on the large formation furnace in his hand. Although his plan was very different from normal weapon refining methods, it was even risky. But the framework is still based on the refining of immortal weapons. Coupled with his skills and his confidence in the stability of Zhoushan's rocks, he was quite confident.
This practice lasted more than twenty years.
Tempering took time from the beginning, and the technique of Twenty Kings Nian was jerky due to the unusual refining choices. Later, the speed gradually increased.
After more than twenty years, Zhang Yan's face showed no change. In the past twenty years, he has had no other important requirements except for supplying the Great Array of Immortal Yuan and Dao Dan Dan Fire. This is a very low load for him. He even has the intention to send a touch of Yuan Shen to the cliff mountain to continue to refine two Equipped with talisman soldiers.
Zhang Yan was carefree, but Yang Rui and Liu Xin didn't dare to be careless at all. They followed Wang Nian, who presided over the furnace refining, and paid full attention to the end. Exhausted physically and mentally. Even if you are an immortal, in the early stage of immortality, it is normal for you to be tired due to the extremely high frequency of use of elixir fire and immortal essence and the high investment in your mind during the past twenty years.
"Done?"
"Well, you're done!"
Wang Nian is undoubtedly the most tired one. But his fatigue was put away, and his face was still more excited. The thing in front of him was a top-notch immortal weapon that he had gathered together, under his leadership, the four strongest people in the Wild Sky Territory and worked together for twenty years.
Although it is said to be a "vessel", it is not actually visible on the outside. It still looks like the same mountain as before. But compared with the huge volume that was nearly a thousand feet high and low at the beginning, it has shrunk a lot now, almost 20% smaller.
Generally, natural weapon refining materials will become significantly smaller after being tempered. This is the result of excluding impurities and purifying the main useful main components.
Don't look at the rocks in Zhoushan Mountain that are 20% smaller. This was enough to make Wang Nian stunned and speechless. In his impression, natural weapon-making materials have shrunk by at least 50% after being tempered. There are even a few who have even 15% left. For example, if gold is tempered to produce gold essence, it will shrink extremely.
In comparison, the impurities in Zhoushan rocks are incredibly low.
Similarly, there are fewer impurities and the volume is reduced by 20%, but its characteristics are not reduced, but become more prominent. And what has changed is far more than just the size of the rocks in Zhoushan Mountain. There are also lines of magic formations and seals that go in and out of the mountain like links, covering almost most of the mountain. And inside the mountain. The same is true.
"Try it." Zhang Yan smiled and did not take advantage of it. Instead, he asked Wang Nian, who presided over the refining and overcame many difficulties and spent a lot of effort during the process, to open the new magical weapon.
Wang Nian still wanted to postpone it, but Zhang Yan waved his hand and stopped being pretentious, knowing that this was Master fulfilling his wish. It is naturally a big wish to make the immortal weapon by oneself and start it by oneself.
So Wang Nian waved towards the Zhoushan rocks standing in the middle of the formation, and subconsciously called out: "Come!"
He saw the magical seal on the rock that was still hundreds of feet flickering and mysteriously surging. In the blink of an eye, it quickly shrank and flew towards Wang Nian. The person in front of him had actually shrunk to about a foot.
"Master, please give me a name for this thing!"
"It comes from Zhoushan, and its usage is mainly about smashing, so it's called "Mountain Seal"."
