With all the necessary items prepared, Lao Feng and Wei Qiqi went to the Ding Lu Pit to start smelting the Horcrux.
Dinglu Pit is located in a mountain depression south of Liushi Peak. It is connected to the ground fire. It is a good place for refining alchemy and making tools. Sword cultivators from various sects who practice the "Red Lotus Art" are also happy to meditate here and absorb the pure Lihuo. The Qi warms and nourishes the Tao embryo and tempers the flying sword.
The Dinglu Pit is roughly divided into three floors from top to bottom. Countless simple stone chambers are densely built. Some are just a few irregular stones put together, neither windproof nor rainproof. The stone materials are a little more sophisticated. After polishing, the gaps were filled with gravel and glutinous rice mortar was applied to make it look more pleasing to the eye.
Liushi Peak has beautiful mountains and clear waters, but Dinglu Pit is the biggest failure, like a scabies on the ice and snow skin.
Old Feng was familiar with the house and picked an inconspicuous stone chamber on the top floor. He pointed out to Wei Shiqi that there were hundreds of "eyes of fire" in the cauldron pit. The deeper you went, the more intense the fire was. The key to making a weapon was to control it. Fire, too violent ground fire is not conducive to controlling the fire, and materials are wasted in vain. Excessive use is not enough, and the effort is in vain.
The stone chamber is paved with tinderstone, which is closed and sultry. In the middle, three black sparkling stones surround a "eye of fire", which is bottomless at first glance, and there is a faint flicker of fire.
Lao Feng was familiar with the road, sitting cross-legged in front of the fire, throwing in a handful of Yangsui wood chips, stimulating the true energy, and drawing the earth fire out of the "eye of fire". The surface of the sparkling stone glowed with silver light, and the talismans were connected in a loop to form a small With the fire-gathering formation, the ground fire gradually stabilized, its color changed from red to light blue, and it sprayed out more than a foot high, making a chirping sound.
Old Feng took out a fire pliers from the corner of the stone room, placed the iron rod in the eye of the fire, and slowly burned it. He also took a six-winged water snake's demon elixir, put it on the ground fire, and hummed a tune. He flicked it, holding it up to his eyes from time to time to assess the heat. After a while, he muttered "It's almost done", put the demon pill to his mouth, blew on it, put it on the tinder stone, and took out another demon pill. , continuing to roast on the fire.
Wei Shiqi felt that his decision was absolutely correct. An expert is an expert after all. Lao Feng's effortless technique showed that making tools depends entirely on feel and experience. Even if he stayed aside and learned from others, he would not learn anything. Rather than smoke and smoke, he could not learn anything. It's better to do something beneficial to the body and mind than just waiting there stupidly.
He apologized to Old Feng, left the stone room, and headed towards Chishui Cliff.
"Where did this kid go!" Lao Feng thought in his mind, "It's rare for me to open a furnace to refine a weapon. With such a good opportunity, I didn't open my eyes wide and look at it carefully, but instead ran away. With his character, he still wants to learn how to make a weapon. Qi, cut it, never expect to make any progress in this life!"
Wei Shiqi's words and deeds were in line with his temperament. Lao Feng inquired about him and found out that he was a human-demon hybrid. He had successfully practiced the Xiaoyue Gong and had a strong body, far superior to ordinary people. Therefore, he was interested in passing on his demon fire weapon-making skills. technique. However, after a conversation, Wei Shiqi was not very interested in making weapons. He only wanted to refine his iron rod into a Horcrux. A child cannot be taught, so Lao Feng had no choice but to give up. I am afraid that the skill of making weapons with demonic fire is not good enough. It's about to be brought into the coffin!
He was muttering in his heart, but he was unambiguous in his hands. In no time, Lao Feng calcined the twenty demon pills to their "existence nature", leaving the nine with the best quality to open up the "virtual position".
He took the second fire tongs, picked up the iron rod in the fire eye, squeezed it a few times, and sneered: "The black iron and black gold are quite heavy, but I am really willing to spend the money." He put the iron rod down. Returning to the fire eye, push the three sparkling stones and turn them at an angle, and the fire-gathering array will change accordingly. The ground fire will turn pale, heat waves will hit your face, and your beard and hair will become dry and bifurcated in an instant.
Old Feng moved to the corner, let out a long sigh, thumped his lower back and said: "Age is not forgiving, getting old..."
After taking a breath, footsteps sounded outside the stone door. Wei Shiqi bent down and got in. With a smile on his face, he put down a bulging baggage.
"Where have you gone? I haven't seen anyone for a long time. It won't take me that long to pee and poop..."
Wei Shiqi did not explain. He unpacked the bag and took out a jar of wine, two wooden bowls, and four oil paper packages. He opened them and found one package of wild boar meat, one package of venison, one pheasant, and one package of horsewhip bamboo shoots. He opened the mud seal, poured a bowl of fragrant wine, and offered it to Lao Feng with both hands.
Old Feng was filled with joy and laughed. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him. He took the wooden bowl and drank it all in one gulp. He rubbed his hands together, picked up a piece of venison and threw it into his mouth. He chewed it a few times and praised: "Good, good wine." , delicious! Where did you get it?"
Wei Shiqi smiled and said: "Chishuiya, Senior Brother Chu from the Five Elements Sect has some friendship with me. I asked him to prepare some food and wine to honor Mr. Feng."
"Senior Brother Chu? Chu Ge, Sect Leader Park's disciple?"
"Exactly."
Old Feng was quite curious, "How do you know him?"
"Zongzhu Pu once invited me to Tingxuelu for a meeting, so I got to know Senior Brother Chu. After that, we had two more interactions, and we were able to talk to each other."
Old Feng clicked his tongue in surprise, drank heavily, ate large pieces of meat, and said vaguely: "You have a great reputation, and Chu Ge has a very high vision. Ordinary people would look down upon him. Among the second generation disciples of Liushi Peak, he is not ranked first, nor is he." Second."
When Wei Shiqi heard this, his heart moved and he asked, "Who else can beat Senior Brother Chu?"
"You're still asking me about this?" Old Feng Ni stared at him, holding a chicken bone in his mouth.
Wei Shiqi thought for a while and guessed: "Is it Senior Sister Ruan?"
"It's not her. I am the first second-generation disciple to break through the sword qi barrier. But it's hard to say now. I heard that Chu Tianyou of Taiyi Sect was seriously injured when she defeated him in Chixia Valley. Will he be able to recover? Or two."
"Where is Du Mo from the Poison Sword Sect? How strong is he?"
"Du Mo is not bad either. If the second-generation disciple is invited to compete, he may not get his turn if he pulls three fingers, but he will definitely get his turn if he pulls five fingers. He practices the Five Cutting Technique, and his sword energy is very damaged."
