When Zhao Jiuge entered the cave and walked towards the mountain, the light suddenly dimmed, and then the surrounding area fell into darkness. After walking a few steps, the brief darkness dissipated, and the darkness was replaced by a gloomy halo.
At this time, Zhao Jiuge discovered that the inside of the mountain where the sword was forged was like a masterpiece of miraculous craftsmanship. I saw that the belly of the mountain had long been hollowed out, and the surrounding mountain walls were winding downwards in a spiral shape. At the same time, with the help of the mountain, the stairs made directly from the surrounding rocks also continued to extend downward to the bottom of the mountain. These made of money stones The stairs are integrated into the entire mountain.
On the left side of the stairs was an iron chain as thick as a fist, which continued down the stairs. Zhao Jiuge looked around and couldn't see the end at a glance, and he didn't know how long the iron chain that followed the mountain stone staircase was. To the right of the stairs is the entire mountain wall. Every twenty meters, there is a recessed part of the mountain wall. It is a rectangular slot about one foot in size that is manually dug. Each one contains dark red luminous beads. , each luminous bead is the size of a baby's fist, surrounded by a dark red halo, one every twenty meters, clearly illuminating the stairs made of mountain stone, these luminous beads are like a dark red line The giant dragon undulates and entrenches itself inside the mountain.
Zhao Jiuge looked down from above and looked at the scene below. He was a little stunned. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He walked slowly down the stairs. The middle of the mountain had been hollowed out and he could clearly see it. Below, even with Zhao Jiuge's current foundation-building state of eyesight, he could not see the bottom at a glance. As we walk down, the mountain wall on the right is covered with ravines of all sizes, testifying to the long history of this mountain.
Zhao Jiuge, who was originally impatient, walked slowly and leisurely when he set foot on this road, and his mood calmed down. After walking for about half an hour, Zhao Jiuge heard the noise coming from below, and the sound of his iron weapon being struck.
It seemed that even the surrounding temperature was slowly rising, and Zhao Jiuge could see some figures below. Finally, not long after, Zhao Jiuge went down the stairs and came to the underground plane. As soon as his feet stepped on the ground, he could feel the unevenness. The surrounding colors gave people a feeling of darkness with a red halo, and at the same time, the temperature was higher than outside. They are all much higher.
The space below is much larger. At least Zhao Jiuge has seen a stone door seven or eight meters long and wide not far away, and the noisy sound is coming from inside.
Seeing someone coming, the eyes of the two figures standing at the door of Shimen lit up at the same time, and they walked towards Zhao Jiuge, while muttering that there was another business coming.
The two young men were wearing the sword robes of the outer disciples, and they looked ordinary. However, the tall young man had a frown on his face unconsciously, while the slightly shorter young man on the right was wearing a sloppy sword robe. Messy, with a smile on his face at the moment, but it feels a bit treacherous.
"Hey, this little brother looks like he hasn't been here for a long time. Does it look like he wants to refine flying swords?" The young man with messy sword robes and messy hair asked Zhao Jiuge with a bright smile on his face. With. I don't know if the red face was caused by the temperature due to staying underground for a long time, but even Zhao Jiuge could see that the smile was treacherous.
Zhao Jiuge smiled knowingly, pursed his lips and said nothing. He just took out ten spiritual stones from his savings ring and stuffed them into the hands of the two young men calmly. Although Zhao Jiuge was not old, he was more sophisticated than anyone else. They all understand the truth and have an exquisite heart. Besides, Zhao Jiuge now has a lot of money, and he doesn't care about these ten spirit stones.
When the two young men saw the spiritual stone that was stuffed into their hands, even the tall young man who had been frowning all the time had a bright look in his eyes, and the young man in the sloppy sword robe burst out laughing. , with a happy face, thinking that this kid is really wise and generous.
The two of them were just outer sect disciples. After entering the sect, they failed to enter the inner sect, so they stayed in the outer sect. Even if the other brothers did not enter the inner sect, they had already exchanged the magic weapon for earning tribute by receiving tasks. He Kung Fu and Jue are constantly practicing and improving their cultivation, but they are a little afraid of death. They rely on doing odd jobs in the Sword Building Hall and receive some spiritual stones every month to practice. Such a vicious cycle naturally leads to a gap between them and others. It’s also getting bigger. Generally speaking, if you fail to enter the inner gate, it means that the sect has given up on you and no longer provides you with resources. You can only rely on yourself for everything. Their qualifications are mediocre, and there is no hope of going far on this road. , so I just spent my days in a muddle. There are many people like them, doing odd jobs in the sect in exchange for meager resources to practice.
At this time, Zhao Jiuge saw the expressions of the two men and finally asked, "Two senior brothers, where is the magic weapon refining in the Sword Forging Hall refining?"
"What do you want to refine, a flying sword?" The young man in the sloppy sword robe asked again.
Zhao Jiuge shook his head slightly, "I want to refine clothes and armor."
As soon as these words came out, the two young men were startled and their eyes widened. Especially the somewhat slovenly young man was even more shocked. He pointed back at Zhao Jiuge and said, "You actually want to refine armor? Look at it." You are still a new disciple, you have only been here a few years, how can you come up with so many materials to refine clothes and armor?"
They were a little confused about where Zhao Jiuge came from so many materials. They had known that clothes and armor were actually rarer than flying swords. However, Xuantian Sword Sect mainly focused on swords, so they paid more attention to flying swords. However, the practicality of clothes and armor was indisputable. Yes, let me ask you, if you can't even save your life, what's the use of powerful attacks? You'll be dead before you even have a chance to use them.
The armor consumes the most materials, not only because of its size, but also because the ore and forging process required are too cumbersome. If one of them is not good, the forging will fail, resulting in a waste of materials.
"Hey, I was lucky when I went out to do missions and got some, so I thought of making a defensive magic weapon suit armor, which can also enhance my own safety." Zhao Jiuge smiled happily, even thinking about it now I was already excited about what I had gained this time.
The sloppy young man raised his eyes, looked at Zhao Jiuge and suddenly became interested, "Oh? What materials did you get?"
"Purple Stone." Zhao Jiuge smiled mysteriously, twitching the corners of his mouth.
The young man who looked a little sad and the sloppy young man immediately frowned and started thinking. After a few seconds, their eyes lit up, they looked at each other, and said in unison, "Purple Stone."
The two pairs of eyes were wide open, with indescribable surprise. The sloppy young man reacted first and looked at Zhao Jiuge carefully for a few times. His eyes kept rolling, and then he kept weighing the pros and cons in his mind. He originally thought that he was a stupid young man. , see if we can get some small benefits from Zhao Jiuge. Who knew that Zhao Jiuge was so smart that he gave five spiritual stones to each person before he even opened his mouth. Now he is here to refine clothes and armor, and he uses such precious ores, and Zhao Jiuge was young and he couldn't figure out Zhao Jiuge's identity for a while, so he simply put away his previous small thoughts. It was better to build a good relationship so that he could become familiar with Xuantian Sword Sect in the future so that he could be taken care of.
Thinking of this, the sloppy young man changed his somewhat treacherous smile, and asked with concern on his face, "Brother, are you sure you have enough purple stone? The armor is not considered other auxiliary materials, it is only made of ore The number of clothing embryos is quite large." Among magic weapons, only when weapons and armor are refining, the embryos must be made first, and then some auxiliary materials are continuously used for forging, and these two embryos are generally made of spiritual ores. Made.
"Enough." Zhao Jiuge nodded lightly. Before coming, he had already learned from Bai Qingqing the quantity of ore needed to refine the armor. Therefore, about three hundred kilograms of purple pole stone is completely enough to refine the embryo of armor. The premise is that the refining does not fail.
Seeing Zhao Jiuge's calm and confident look, the sloppy young man couldn't figure out Zhao Jiuge's background even more, and the fawning and fawning message on his face became even stronger.
"We charge a fee for refining magic weapons here, and the center of the earth is only a dozen places away from the fire, so every time you come to refine magic weapons, you may not be able to refine them right away. You will go in and take out the wooden sign to register. For a moment, leave the materials and you can pick them up later."
Hearing the words of the sloppy young man, Zhao Jiuge just thought for a moment and then nodded. He believed that the sect would not do anything to enrich his own pockets. The Xuantian Sword Sect was such a big sect that they should not look down on him.
"Then thank you two senior brothers. Thank you for leading the way." Zhao Jiuge said politely.
The sloppy young man was happy with this and hurriedly ran forward to lead the way for Zhao Jiuge. As for the young man with a sad face, he followed silently all the way. His eyes were dull and he didn't know what he was thinking in his mind.
"When you go in later, you can designate a master to refine the magic weapon for you. Since it's your first time here, how about I recommend it to you?" The sloppy young man twisted his neck and turned back to Zhao Jiuge.
This time it was Zhao Jiuge's turn to be a little surprised. He was surprised and said with some confusion, "Why, isn't there only one master who refines magic weapons? Are there many more?"
The sloppy young man was surprisingly patient with Zhao Jiuge at this moment, "Yes, there are a dozen of them in total, but these dozen are also divided into levels, depending on the individual's experience and skills in refining magic weapons. The top ones are purely Do things according to your mood, otherwise no matter how much material you give him, there is nothing you can do if others don't want to do it. A group of them only work for the sect, and the rest generally don't do anything. They all have their own apprentices to help. It's not something difficult or difficult. They don’t know how to do work with high-quality materials, and they leave it to their apprentices. As for the two of us, we are not even as good as apprentices. We are just working as assistants and running errands for the sword-making hall. I don’t know when we will be able to survive. Go and be an apprentice." After saying that, a look of frustration appeared on his dirty face, and even the frowning young man let out a long sigh.
"Oh, ok, then I'll let my senior brother recommend one later." Zhao Jiuge doesn't care who refines his armor, as long as he can refine it, it's his first time here, after all, he doesn't understand many things. .
"Well, I believe that due to the preciousness of the Purple Stone, there should be a master refining it for you. Those apprentices can only refine some low-grade magic weapons at most." The sloppy young man kept talking about the refining of magic weapons. .
Within a few dozen meters, the three of them came to the gray stone door. Since one person still needed to guard the outside, the slovenly young man led Zhao Jiuge into the stone door, while the young man with a sad face continued to guard outside, waiting. Another person refining the magic weapon arrived.
