At some point, the old man who was the leader of Qi Peak came to the Qi Refining Hall and stood next to Su Zimo.
The old man glanced at the Hanyue Knife that Su Zimo had just stuffed back, and asked seemingly casually: "Boy, why do you take out the knife and stab someone if you disagree with me?"
When he entered the sect, on the top of the front mountain, Su Zimo just came out of the illusion and slashed at the head of the peak.
Just now, he almost took another stab at the head of the leader of Qi Peak.
Su Zimo looked embarrassed. He was about to remove the spiritual fire and quickly apologized to his master. Unexpectedly, the old man waved his hands quickly, raised his head and said, "It's okay. You continue to practice. Old man, I'm standing by. Look, don’t stress.”
"Okay." Su Zimo nodded in agreement.
After a pause, the bad old man patted Su Zimo on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Boy, in our Piaomiao Sect, there is no need to tense up all day long. Relax, no one will harm you, don't do it at every turn. Take out the knife."
In fact, Su Zimo's reaction was tempered in the Canglang Mountains and had become a habit.
Outside the mountains, all birds and beasts are Su Zimo's enemies.
Back in the cave, he had to always be on guard against sneak attacks and troubles from the monkeys, so he seemed a little nervous.
However, Su Zimo did not relax his vigilance because of the old man's words. He should pay more attention in the future and try not to use the knife, but he still had to be cautious.
The old man said again: "Besides, even if you take out the knife, you still have to look at the person. It has only been a month since you joined the sect, and you have already used the knife on the two leaders. You will have to stay here for a long time."
"Ahem, I'll pay more attention in the future." Su Zimo smiled coquettishly.
For an assessment like this at the end of the month, the leader of each peak would not show up, let alone the leader of Qi Peak who was already known for his lazy temperament.
Nowadays, the bad old man appears in the Weapon Refining Hall, and everyone knows the reason.
It was definitely not for Feng Haoyu, but for Su Zimo.
At this moment, Feng Haoyu, who was standing at the front, felt his face was burning, but his back was to everyone, so no one could see the chill in his eyes.
Feng Haoyu calmed down and began to warm the cauldron again.
At the back of the main hall, Su Zimo's third-level spiritual fire had never stopped, and he had begun to put in spiritual materials.
As many spiritual materials entered the cauldron, Su Zimo increased the circulation of spiritual energy, and the flames became so strong that they instantly enveloped the entire refining cauldron.
The temperature inside the cauldron continues to rise!
The smelting step involves melting various spiritual materials into a liquid state at high temperatures and then fusing them together to refine as many impurities in the spiritual materials as possible.
This step, regardless of the weapon refining skills, is the one that best reflects the difference in spiritual fire levels.
Even if a senior refiner controls the second-level spiritual fire, the refining impurities in the smelting steps are no better than the third-level spiritual fire controlled by a novice.
Not long after, the various spiritual materials in the cauldron began to melt, and were finally refined into a large ball of metallic liquid, releasing traces of spiritual energy.
The third level spiritual fire continues to burn.
This large group of metallic liquid boiled and bubbled in the cauldron, and the aura inside the cauldron gradually became richer.
Seeing this, Old Man Zao had a smile in his eyes and nodded.
The metallic liquid is red, and its volume gradually shrinks under the constant baking. This is because some impurities are refined.
After a quarter of an hour, the volume of the metallic liquid finally stopped decreasing.
This does not mean that there are no impurities in the metal liquid, but it has reached the limit of the level three spiritual fire that can refine impurities.
Smelting is over.
At this time, the spiritual materials in the other disciples' weapon-refining cauldrons had just melted. Only Feng Haoyu was slightly faster, and a large ball of metallic liquid appeared in the cauldron.
The third-level spiritual fire is not only more effective in refining impurities, it is also faster, far ahead of others!
Next step, get in shape.
Su Zimo removed the spiritual fire, and while waiting for the temperature in the cauldron to drop, he adjusted his breathing and practiced to restore the spiritual energy he had just consumed.
To shape the shape, you need to circulate spiritual energy, condense a pair of spiritual hands into the weapon refining cauldron, and quickly shape the weapon you want when the metal liquid is about to solidify.
If you enter too early, the temperature inside the cauldron will be too high, and the spirit hand will easily collapse. The metal liquid will not be completely cooled, and it will be difficult to successfully shape it.
But if it is entered too late, the metal liquid will completely solidify, making it even more impossible to shape.
At this step, the test is experience.
After burning the incense, Su Zimo suddenly stood up, running his spiritual energy crazily, condensing a pair of hands in mid-air, reaching into the refining cauldron, grabbing the metallic liquid in the cauldron and squeezing it.
At this time, the metal liquid is moderately soft and hard and has not yet completely solidified. The timing is just right!
The old man looked at Su Zimo attentively and became more and more satisfied.
"Damn it, old man, I really found a treasure!"
If it weren't for the presence of many sect disciples, the old man would have wanted to hug Su Zimo and kiss her fiercely.
For some reason, Su Zimo suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help but tremble.
After a while, a flying sword gradually took shape.
The sword body is slender and has no sharp edge yet, but the shape of the sword is just beginning to show.
At this time, many disciples in the weapon refining hall simply gave up the assessment and focused on watching Su Zimo's weapon refining process.
Noticing the sword shape created by Su Zimo, the crowd couldn't help but booed.
Feng Haoyu had finished smelting at this time and was waiting for the refining cauldron to cool down. He sat there and adjusted his breathing. Feeling the restlessness in the crowd, he couldn't help but look back.
Seeing the sword shape in Su Zimo's weapon refining cauldron, Feng Haoyu looked sarcastic, sneered, and looked back no longer.
After the shaping was completed, Su Zimo could naturally feel the strangeness in the crowd.
"Master, did I make a mistake in this step?" Su Zimo couldn't help but ask.
The bad old man waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's not a big mistake. You mastered the shaping timing very well. There is just something wrong with the sword shape. It has an extra hilt."
"An extra hilt?" Su Zimo was stunned for a moment, with confusion in his eyes.
The old man asked, "Do you know why most monks' flying swords don't have hilts?"
Su Zimo shook his head.
Old Man Zao said: "The Flying Sword is the most common long sword magic weapon in the world of cultivation. It has blades on both sides. It is fast, flexible and has versatile attacks. The Flying Sword is different from ordinary long swords in that it does not have a hilt. With an extra hilt, the air resistance will increase as the flying sword travels through the air, virtually reducing flexibility and speed."
Su Zimo's eyes flashed with surprise.
He used to practice demon cultivation and had been fighting in close combat with people. Now he has only been practicing immortal cultivation for only a month, and he has hardly practiced the art of sword control.
After all, cultivating immortals is different from cultivating demons. Instead of holding flying swords to fight against enemies, monks bundle their spiritual energy into a thread and control flying swords from a distance.
When fighting with the enemy, the flying sword stabs the opponent. If the sword is carried with a hilt, the flying sword will get stuck in the opponent's body.
But without the hilt, the flying sword can easily pierce the opponent and continue to control it with almost no impact.
If the opponent practices the art of body refining and has a strong physical body, the flying sword with the hilt will easily fall into the opponent's hands.
However, if the flying sword does not have a hilt, it is all a sharp blade, and the opponent cannot catch it with bare hands.
The hilt is just a burden to the flying sword.
