Yuan Ming did not refuse. After accepting the storage bag handed over by Pi Xiu, he asked Pi Xiu some questions that needed to be paid attention to after entering the pill formation. Pi Xiu originally wanted to form a good relationship with Yuan Ming. Tokiya did not hesitate to give pointers.
However, in his conversations, he would always talk about the benefits of joining the Lingfu Sect, intentionally or unintentionally, which made Yuan Ming feel dumbfounded.
After the two talked for a while, Pi Xiu seemed to have received a message from someone, so he took the initiative to stand up and leave. Before leaving, he left a few more transmission notes, obviously not giving up on the win.
But Yuan Ming does not resent his persistence. What's more, although he refused the invitation, most of the alchemy-forming people in Lingfeng City probably chose to become the guest elders of the Lingfu Sect. If Yuan Ming wants to find someone to communicate with, he has to Only through Pi Xiu's recommendation.
This can be seen from the fact that Yuan Ming only received the transmission notes from Pi Xiu after breaking through the barrier.
The Lingfu Sect may not show any malice towards the alchemy monks who reject them, but those casual alchemy cultivators living in Lingfeng City, even those who do not choose to join, still have to take into account the face of the Lingfu Sect in the future of the Lingfu Sect. Before recognizing Yuan Ming's identity, they would not rashly accept Ai Ming into their circle.
in the following days. Yuan Ming did not choose to practice hard in the cave, but through Pi Xiu's introduction, he actively participated in gatherings of alchemy monks in the city, chatted with those alchemy monks, and got acquainted with many monks of the same level. Gaining knowledge.
In addition, Yuan Ming also sold some unused things he had previously obtained from Elder Hai and Elder Guo in several trade fairs for alchemy monks, and exchanged them for several rare items.
Of course, during this period, Yuan Ming also often inquired about some information about the refining of magic weapons, and got acquainted with several alchemy monks who specialized in refining weapons. Although he heard some basic insights from them, after returning to the cave, Through the possession of black incense, he learned a lot of experience and techniques in refining magic weapons from them.
As he had learned before, the biggest difference between a magic weapon and a magic weapon is that what is engraved on it is not a single rune, but an array composed of at least five runes.
As long as the talisman array is formed and continuously nurtured with elixir fire to perfectly integrate the talisman array and materials, a magic weapon will be considered complete.
Whether it is refining magic weapons from the best magic weapons or directly refining magic jade, the minimum amount paid by the county working group is five, not just five.
The number of runes engraved on the magic weapon is closely related to the material of the magic weapon. The higher the level of the magic weapon, the more runes it can withstand.
The grade and power of a magic weapon are judged by the number of runes, but at the level of a magic weapon, the number of runes in the rune array is still the decisive factor in judging the power of the magic weapon.
The talisman array formed by six runes is far more powerful than the five-rune talisman array.
Of course, the power of the magic weapon has a lot to do with the later pregnancy and upbringing. If the pregnancy and upbringing are good, the five-rune magic weapon may not be weaker than the six-rune magic weapon.
It's just that the foundation of the six-rune magic weapon is there, which is much better than the five-rune magic weapon.
Since Yuan Ming regards the Soul-Destroying Sword as his life-saving magic weapon, he doesn't plan to refine it casually. He wants to maximize the power of this magic weapon.
The main material of the Soul-Destroying Sword is Nine Netherworld Iron, which is the best material for Yin attribute magic weapons. Someone has used this object to refine one. After learning about this information, Yuan Ming finally decided to imitate the rumors after careful consideration. The person in A, when Ren Fu No. 8 was used as a magic weapon, also tried to add three more runes to form a powerful seven-rune array.
He was very confident in doing this: first of all, in terms of weapon refining skills, Yuan Ming spent a year passing through the Black Fragrance Tarsus Body many times and mastered a variety of magic weapon refining techniques. Among them, there was even a member of the Lingfu Sect. The weapon-refining elder's method of pressing the bottom of the box.
He also used the soul seal to let several weapon refiners try to refine magic weapons while he was possessed. Some of them were successful and some failed. Yuan Ming wrote down his feelings at that time one by one. It can be said that although he did not refine the magic weapon with his own hands. He has made a magic weapon, but his refining experience is not inferior to those of the alchemy monks who specialize in refining weapons.
Secondly, the power of his soul is far superior to that of ordinary monks in the alchemy stage. He can even enter the Heaven-Stealing Cauldron and use the power of the White Jade Lotus Platform to increase his soul power tenfold. Inscribing runes has a great advantage.
only
Yuan Ming was a little confused as to which three runes he wanted to engrave on the Soul-Destroying Sword.
He was sitting at the stone table in the cave. There was a jade slip placed on the stone table, which recorded more than a dozen runes, all of which he had collected during this period.
Although the selection of runes for magic weapons is more stringent than that of magic weapons, there is not much research.
As long as the selected runes do not conflict with the magic weapon's spiritual materials or other runes, the monk can choose any runes and combine them into the initial rune array on the magic weapon.
However, the closer the attributes of the runes in the array are, the more stable the array will be, the more powerful it will be, and the greater the potential for future improvement.
However, if you choose a rune magic weapon with the same attribute, there will often be shortcomings. For example, if you don't add a "rapid wind" type rune magic weapon with an ice attribute magic weapon, the speed will be very slow and it will be difficult to catch up with the enemy.
Therefore, weapon refiners usually scratch their heads when choosing runes, and most of them will choose a compromise solution in the end.
However, Yuan Ming does not think so. Whether it is a magic weapon or a magic weapon, stability and power are the most important. Shortcomings in use can be made up for by other methods. It is very stupid to sacrifice the power and potential of a magic weapon for temporary convenience. Behavior.
After secretly inquiring, Yuan Ming has figured out the four runes on the Soul-Destroying Sword, which are "soul-fixing", "soul-suppressing", "soul-devouring" and "soul-blade". They are all Yin-attributed soul-type runes.
Apparently Xi Cangqiong had the same view as him on the magic runes.
For the three runes to be added to the Soul-Destroying Sword, he was also planning to use soul-type ones, at least Yin-attribute runes.
The dozen or so runes in the jade slip are all soul-type runes, except for the last three.
Yuan Ming's consciousness stopped at the last three extremely complex runes. These three runes were all obtained from the blade fragments obtained from the Tiantian Cauldron.
The three runes on the fragment were very magical. When he was studying them, he would often be fascinated by them without paying attention. Even if he couldn't activate them, he would often marvel at the exquisite aura and mystery of the strokes.
In order to find out the effects of these three runes, Yuan Ming went to find the masters of weapon refinement with whom he had made friends, and obtained from them a set of magic circles specifically used to test the effects of the runes.
This array can simulate the effect of displaying runes, but the power displayed will be slightly worse than the effect of the runes themselves, and because it is exclusively used for testing, it cannot be used in battles at all.
After a long period of research and exploration, the effect of the two runes was deduced.
The first rune he named "Curse" can lock the enemy in the air and perform an invisible curse attack. The enemy hit will feel chest tightness, nausea, mana and soul power will be disordered, and in severe cases, there will even be escape. Let go of worries.
This kind of attack is very secretive, and it is like coming out of thin air. Even Yuan Ming cannot detect it now, and the body protection magic weapon and protective spell cannot block it.
The second rune was named "Consciousness of Destruction" by Yuan Ming. When activated, the rune would release an invisible wave that enveloped the surroundings, weakening the five senses and consciousness of everyone except the holder.
The last one is called "Crazy Blood". After this rune hits the opponent, it can make the blood all over the body become restless and accelerate the flow rate. At the same time, it will make the enemy become bloodthirsty and warlike, affecting the sanity to a certain extent.
The three runes were too complex, and the magic circle used to test the runes could not analyze them clearly. Yuan Ming was not sure of their attributes, so he could only judge them from their effects, which were very similar to the Yin attribute runes.
He had no idea whether the other runes on the Soul-Destroying Sword could accommodate the Three Powers and Fuyou, or whether they would affect the sliding power of the sword.
However, he was certain that these three runes were stronger than any runes he had ever seen. If they could be successfully engraved, they would definitely be much more powerful than ordinary runes.
Yuan Ming's face was uncertain, and he made up his mind for a long time to use these three runes!
If the engraving fails, or if the inscription is successful, but the potential of the soul-destroying sword is affected, the worst case scenario is that the materials will be collected again to refine the treasure again.
Now that he has successfully formed pills, he has plenty of time.
These three runes are also much more complex than ordinary runes, and it takes a lot of practice to master the drawing methods of these three runes.
Yuan Ming took out the materials for practicing drawing talismans and practiced them over and over again.
Another year passed in a flash, and Yuan Ming finally mastered the drawing method of the three runes, and also collected other spiritual materials needed to refine the Soul-Destroying Sword. After several days of sitting quietly and adjusting his breath, he also His condition was adjusted to the best, and he officially started to refine.
He first opened all the three formation restrictions in the cave just like he did when forming the elixir, and let the three Huazhi beasts protect the law outside the retreat. Then he took out the Heaven-Stealing Cauldron in the retreat and entered the mysterious space in the cauldron.
Before that, he had already moved all the spiritual materials and refining furnaces needed to refine the Soul-Destroying Sword into the mysterious space here, which has now turned into a refining room.
Yuan Ming walked slowly in front of the altar, flew up and sat on the lotus platform. Just like before, thousands of wishes poured into the sea of consciousness from the lotus platform, instantly increasing the power of Yuan Ming's soul.
He adjusted to the current strength of his soul, and then raised his hand. In a small jade box under the altar, the Stygian Iron Gourd captured by Yuan Ming flew straight up and fell into the furnace.
He had no use for the wish power in the gourd, and had long ago spilled it away.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Ming pinched the magic formula with both hands, and suddenly there was a flash of spiritual light all over his body. A moment later, he opened his mouth and spat out, and a light green elixir fire immediately spurted out from his mouth and penetrated into the refining furnace.
The next moment, Yuan Ming pinched the magic formula in his hand, and shot out several more magic formulas, which fell on the furnace. Many patterns on the surface of the furnace lit up, and the elixir fire that fell into the furnace also suddenly rose, killing Wu Tie. Hu Hu wrapped up the whole thing and started smelting.
