Until the morning of the sixth day, Lu Yu was still meditating in his room. Suddenly, the tips of his ears moved, and he opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the door. Since Lu Yu practiced to the first level of swordsman, his hearing, eyesight and strength have all undergone earth-shaking changes. He could hear louder sounds within a few meters.
"Squeak---" The bamboo door was pushed open from the outside, and Jin Xinxin walked in with a disheveled face.
"How did you get this look?" Lu Yu asked Jin Xinxin. Why don't you just run around and buy something? As for making it like this
"You don't understand. The things in our martial arts market are more expensive. I rushed to the Lianhefang City with three sects and four sects on the border of the country. In this way, I saved four or five low-grade spirit stones." Jin Xinxin calculated carefully.
"Three sects and four sects?" Lu Yu looked at Jin Xinxin puzzled.
Jin Xinxin slapped his head and explained with a smile: "I almost forgot, you are a "golden girl" who doesn't go out of the gate. How can you know these things. The three sects refer to our Yujian sect, God Lingzong, Yunxiazong; the four gates refer to the ghost domain gate, the magic sound gate, the five poison gates, and the Luocha gate. The three sects are the orthodox sects, and the four sects are the demonic sects."
"Orthodox and demons can unite to open Fangshi." In Lu Yu's impression, righteous and demons should be irreconcilable. I didn't expect to be able to cooperate.
"Whatever, as long as the Lianhefang market is open, my plan to make a fortune can naturally go ahead." Jin Xinxin is still obsessed with getting rich. After speaking, Jin Xinxin took out a black storage bag from the storage bag. Throwing it to Lu Yu, Lu Yu took the black storage bag. Lu Yu had seen this kind of black storage bag in the jade slips. It was a material bag specially used to store materials. No matter how heavy the material was, as long as it could be put in, it would be as light as nothing in the hand.
Lu Yu took the material and stuck it to his forehead. Although the spiritual sense cannot be released outside, but it is close to the skin, you can still use the spiritual sense to check the contents of the bag. In the storage bag were placed ten pieces of black metal that were the size of ordinary bricks, shining faintly, exactly the same as the refined iron described in the book. Only then did Lu Yu withdraw his consciousness with confidence, and put the material bag into his storage bag.
Jin Xinxin saw that Lu Yu had already checked and accepted. He looked at Lu Yu carefully again, and asked tentatively: "Check with your spiritual sense, are you already at the first level of swordsman?"
Lu Yu nodded noncommittally, and said with a smile: "I was lucky enough to advance a day or two ago."
Jin Xinxin said with some envy: "It seems that hard training is really useful. Today, I will practice behind closed doors, and I will not go out until I reach the level of swordsman." Lu Yu smiled wryly in his heart. If he didn't After eating the Guiyuan Pill, it would be difficult to break through in just one or two months of hard work.
"Why is your goal so low? It's just a level of swordsman." Lu Yu asked.
"A swordsman can fly with his sword on the first floor, so the speed of running errands is at least several times faster than riding a horse." Jin Xinxin said extremely hopelessly.
Lu Yu was speechless for a while, and then said to Jin Xinxin: "Then you should practice hard. I will go to the refining room to try it now. See if I can make some fine steel swords."
"Then I wish you good luck." Jin Xinxin said with a smile.
"Thank you for your words. I hope that when I come back, you will already be a swordsman." Lu Yu cupped his hands, walked out of the bamboo house after speaking, came to Old Man Sun's residence, and asked for a map of the sect from him. I found the specific location of the refining room on the map, then identified the direction, and walked towards the direction of the refining room.
Although Lu Yu has learned the art of controlling the sword, he can only walk on foot because he does not have a sword. So he hardly met anyone along the way, but there were people flying over his head with a sword constantly.
Lu Yu already knew a thing or two about the refining room from books. It is the powerful people of the sect who use their strong magic power to lead the fire from the center of the earth to the ground, and then seal the fire from the ground. A refining room was also built at the seal of the ground fire, which is convenient for disciples to refine weapons.
The refining room is located in the southwest corner of Yujianzong. It is a seven-story tower-shaped building. When Lu Yu came to the tower, he found that there were quite a lot of disciples coming in and out. Everyone has different expressions, some are smiling, some are sinking, and some are angry, which really reflects the various states of life. But in general, people with bad complexions are several times as many as those with good complexions.
Lu Yu couldn't help sighing in his heart: "It seems that refining weapons is really not easy."
Lu Yu took a few deep breaths and walked in. The space inside is very large. There are rows of secret rooms with numbers written in a circular distribution. There is a staircase on the left leading to the second floor. People come in and out from time to time. In the center of the hall on the first floor is a long table. Sitting in front of the table was a middle-aged man in a purple robe. The disciples who come in and out have to go to him to get the token before they can enter the refining room. Lu Yu stood at the door, with a golden light flashing in his eyes. This is a new spell called "Looking Qi Technique" that he has newly practiced. of cultivation. Of course, if it is higher than one level, it will be impossible to see clearly. Lu Yu just used this spell to test it out.
"The tenth floor of the swordsman." Lu Yu was amazed in his heart. He didn't expect that the only person who issued the token in this refining room had the cultivation base of the tenth floor of the swordsman.
Lu Yu came to the purple-robed man and said respectfully, "See you brother, I want to rent the refining room for a few days."
Hearing the sound, the purple-robed man looked up at Lu Yu, and found that the other party was only at the level of a swordsman. He said contemptuously, "Do you know the rules? The refining room needs a low-grade spirit stone every day. You have so many spirit stones." If not, don't waste my time"
Lu Yu glanced at the other party, and sneered in his heart, it seems that the world of cultivating immortals is the same as the mortal world, and there are snobs everywhere.
Lu Yu took out fifty spirit stones from the storage bag and placed them in front of the purple-robed man. The purple-robed man was stunned for a moment, he had a bad secret, and those who could take out fifty spirit stones at will must be people with a lot of background, this can be regarded as kicking on the iron plate.
Thinking of this, the man in purple felt bitter in his heart. Immediately put on a flattering expression, and said: "Junior brother is really generous. He must be a member of the sword repair family."
Lu Yu was stunned to see the other party's face changing faster than turning the pages of a book. He nodded calmly on his face.
Seeing this, the purple-robed man felt his heart pounding. It seemed that the other party was still angry at what he had neglected just now. Thinking of this, the purple-robed man said to Lu Yu flatteringly: "This is the first time for junior brother to come to the training room. Don't think that the secret rooms here are all the same size, but in fact the fires in each secret room are quite different. Junior brother and I hit it off right away. There happens to be a good secret room right now. How about I take my junior brother there right now?"
Lu Yu was not polite either, and said with a smile, "Then there will be Brother Lao."
Seeing that the other party accepted his kindness, the purple-robed man seemed to have lost his temper. After putting away the spirit stone, the man in purple robe led the way, followed by Lu Yu. The two stopped in a secret room on the third floor of the pagoda.
The purple-robed man took out a palm-sized token from the storage bag, handed it to Lu Yu, and explained carefully: "This is the token of this secret room, you just need to read the spell on the back of the token in the secret room. The magic circle in the chamber of secrets will activate by itself, and even seniors at the sword spirit level cannot easily break through the magic circle. You can refine weapons in it with peace of mind."
Lu Yu took the token, looked at the Jue behind it, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. He just said a few words of thanks to the purple-robed man, and the purple-robed man also politely said a few words and then left wisely.
Lu Yu pushed open the door of the secret room and found that the layout of the secret room was very simple. About the size of your own bamboo house. In the middle was a table made of unknown materials. In the middle of the table, there is a hole the size of a fist. Lu Yu walked into the secret room and closed the door. Then he took out the token and read a few words of Fa Jue. I saw that the secret room door just now was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it disappeared after a while, turning into a wall. Lu Yu saw the magic circle for the first time, and poked his finger at the original door position out of curiosity, and was immediately pushed away by a powerful force.
"This is the magic circle, it really is amazing." Lu Yu said to himself.
Lu Yu circled the stone platform a few more times, and found that there were several spells and some annotations engraved on the surface of the stone platform. It turns out that this stone platform is also a small magic circle, and the user can use spells to control the intensity of the ground fire emerging from the hole.
Lu Yu looked around the secret room again, and after making sure there was nothing else, he found a clean place and sat cross-legged in meditation. Lu Yu had to restore his state to the best state before he started refining the weapon.
Three hours later, Lu Yu, who was meditating cross-legged, opened his eyes and stood up. Take out the material bag in the storage bag. Then he took out five pieces of black refined iron from the material bag. Lu Yu put the refined iron on one side of the stone platform, and said the spell in his mouth. Suddenly, clusters of crimson flames burst out from the holes in the middle of the stone platform, and the temperature in the entire secret room suddenly rose. After a while, Lu Yu felt that his whole body was about to be roasted dry.
"This is Earth Fire, it really looks very powerful." Lu Yu said to himself. Afterwards, he muttered something, and immediately a cloud of water vapor appeared on his body, enveloping Lu Yu's whole body in it. This is a part of the "Refining Art", it is called "Water Alchemy", and it is one of the most commonly used refining exercises. It is to use water vapor to isolate the refiner from the ground fire, so as to prevent the fire from burning the refiner alive. Of course, some advanced monks don't need this at all, and can resist the ground fire directly with their bodies. However, Lu Yu is definitely not capable of this.
Lu Yu put a piece of fine iron in his hand and put it into the ground fire to smelt it. After a while, the refined iron melted into drops of molten iron. Lu Yu divided his spiritual consciousness into each finger, and used the spiritual consciousness in his hand as a silk thread to connect the molten iron one by one to form the prototype of the sword, and then continuously calcined it with the ground fire. Then, relying on a trace of connection between the refiner and the divine consciousness, he took out the sword. This step may seem easy, but it is actually the most difficult. The heat and timing are very particular. A slight mistake will turn into a useless sword. Of course, luck also plays a large part in this.
Lu Yu stared at the sword embryo that was roasting in the fire, and the time was passing by little by little.
Two hours passed, and Lu Yu still didn't have telepathy, and the mana of his swordsman level was almost exhausted. If there is no response after a while, he can only give up.
Three hours passed, just when Lu Yu was about to give up. His heart trembled suddenly, and he quickly took the sword out of the fire. Then he used a water spell, and there was a "ch-" sound. The water "collision" fiercely with the fiery blade.
Lu Yu put the sword in front of his eyes and observed it carefully. The sword was three feet long, and the blade shone with a silver-white light, but there was a small crack at the tip of the sword. Lu Yu poured mana into the sword, and the sword body broke immediately.
"Failed." Lu Yu looked at the long sword disappointedly. According to the "Art of Refining Artifacts", if the refining is successful, the body of the sword should be perfect. And if you infuse mana, there should be a faint sword energy emerging.
Not reconciled, Lu Yu sat up in meditation again, planning to try a few more times after recovering his mana.
In a blink of an eye, five days passed. Lu Yu stayed in the secret room for five days, during which he tried to refine five fine steel swords. The previous four failed completely, until the fifth time. It was not until Lu Yu refined the first real fine steel sword. Lu Yu looked at the fine steel sword exuding pale white sword energy in his hand, and he sighed in his heart. This craftsman is really not that easy to be. Relying on his natural spiritual sense and his father's iron-making experience, he has to fail four times before he can succeed once. This is still the lowest-level sword, and the higher-level swords are more difficult. In the future, infusing spirit stones will be hundreds of times more difficult than refining swords. As for the so-called strengthening spirit stone, Lu Yu never thought about it.
Lu Yu put the steel sword in a sword case and put it in a storage bag, and then continued to meditate. I kept thinking about it, and heard from Jin Xinxin that the price of a fine steel sword in Fangshi was around fifty spirit stones. Now that I have succeeded, it means that I have saved my capital. There are still five pieces of fine iron, as long as there is one more success. Then it is equivalent to earning fifty spirit stones, which is not a small income. Anyway, I have already prepaid fifty spirit stones, so I might as well stay for a few more days, and refine the next few pieces of refined iron after I have fully recovered my mana and consciousness that have been lost these days.
After making up his mind, Lu Yu meditated in this secret room until he regained his best position.
