Celestial being

Two days flew by.

In the inn, Yuan Ming slowly opened his eyes, his eyes bright.

The mana fluctuations in his body have become much stronger. The Jiuyuan Jue combined with the Peiyuan Pill and the spiritual fragrance have increased the mana very quickly. In less than two days, it is worth nearly half a month. The practice is effective.

Presumably, the original purpose of spiritual incense such as Qingxuanxiang was probably for high-level monks to assist in their practice, or for sects to make offerings.

Moreover, each time you practice, more than one spiritual incense is consumed. One practice consumes several spiritual stones, which is not something ordinary small sects can afford.

There should not be many people with financial resources in this barbaric land of southern Xinjiang. No wonder the veteran's business is so poor.

According to the agreement, you can get the Qianji Mask today, but I don’t know if Master Huolian has succeeded.

Yuan Ming left the inn room and came to Master Huolian's magic weapon shop.

Now that the other party already knew his identity, he did not deliberately hide it this time.

"Haha, fellow Taoist came just in time. The refining of the Qianji Mask has been completed. Fortunately, it has fulfilled its mission." Before Yuan Ming could speak, the bald man chuckled.

"Thank you! Isn't Master Huolian in the shop?" Yuan Ming felt certain after hearing this.

"Oh, the master is busy in the back room. Fellow Taoist, please take a look." The bald man said, taking out a wooden box from under the counter and handing it over.

Yuan Ming opened the wooden box. Inside was a white mask that looked somewhat translucent. It was extremely thin in texture and had warm and soft tentacles. It felt almost like a human face.

He picked it up and tried to put it on his face. The size was just right and the mask was almost invisible.

"My master, fellow Taoist, is very lucky. This time the weapon refining was quite successful. This Thousand Machine Mask can be used three times. Fellow Taoist, please be careful when using it." The bald man added.

"What! Can it only be used three times?" A trace of surprise flashed in Yuan Ming's eyes.

"Don't you know, fellow Taoist? The Thousand Machine Mask is a consumable magic weapon. The main material of this object is the skin of a human-faced spider. It is only a first-level ferocious beast material. The spiritual power contained is too weak. It is very difficult to sustain three transformations. Not bad." The bald man explained.

Yuan Ming became silent.

The Magic Artifact Shop is in the business of welcoming customers, so they shouldn't lie to him about this kind of thing. The Qianji Mask is made of first-level ferocious beast materials, but the effect is so amazing that even the foundation-building monks can't see through it. It is indeed unreasonable. It seems that he has some extravagant expectations.

Thinking of this, he didn't bother anymore, paid the other half of the weapon refining fee, and left with the Qianji Mask.

Yuan Ming did not stay in Black Rock City for long, and quickly left, heading towards the Biluo Cave Sect.

…

Yuan Ming was worried about being targeted and robbed along the way, so he was fully prepared, but everything was calm.

After returning to Biluo Cave, Yuan Ming couldn't wait to go straight to the back mountain and found the third cave master.

"Is this Yin Jade?" The third cave master couldn't help but change his expression after seeing him take out the half piece of white Ruyi.

"Not bad." Yuan Ming nodded.

"I didn't expect you to be able to find Yin Jade as a substitute. The quality of this thing cannot be compared with the Millennium Cold Crystal, but it is not easy to find. In addition, its own properties are also strange enough, so you are lucky. Just be careful. , activating this kind of magic weapon for a long time may damage your own soul. I will try to reduce its backlash power during refining, but you still have to pay attention." After checking the Yin Jade brought back by Yuan Ming, Sandong The Lord nodded slightly and warned.

"Then it's Cave Master Laosan." Yuan Ming said, cupping his fists.

"Come with me." After the third cave master said, he got up and took Yuan Ming to the back hall of the small courtyard.

When he came to the back hall, Yuan Ming saw at a glance a completely black casting furnace. The style was similar to the one of Master Heimu, and the surface was also engraved with many secret patterns.

The third cave master came to the casting furnace, selected some carbon stones, sulfur and the like on the shelves nearby, and put them into the casting furnace.

Then, she raised her hand to pinch a spell and pressed it on the furnace.

The next moment, a ray of fire lit up from his palm, lighting up the pattern on the furnace body like a mountain fire spreading.

Traces of red light gathered from all directions, all concentrated into the furnace body, condensed into a blazing flame, and ignited the furnace.

An extremely hot breath rushed out from the stove, and the waves of air caused Yuan Ming's face to tighten, and he subconsciously stepped back.

The third cave master took it as usual and did not react at all.

He squatted on her shoulders and raised his head, bent his waist, and stretched beautifully, looking very comfortable.

"Give me the sword." The third cave master said.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming immediately offered the herring sword with both hands.

Huo Greedy followed his outstretched arm and climbed onto his shoulder.

The third cave master raised his hand and opened a sealed door on the furnace, and a bunch of flames immediately poured out like a flood from a flood outlet.

She raised her palm and pressed it against the incoming flames, and an invisible force forced the flames back into the fire pit.

Then, she held up the herring sword with her magic power and slowly sent it into the furnace.

The herring sword entered the center of the fire pit and was immediately surrounded by blazing flames. The tongues of fire licked the sword one after another as if they had discovered delicious food.

Yuan Ming felt strange, and when he looked again, he realized that it was the third cave master who was deliberately controlling the flow of the flames.

"You should have the fire spirit root. During daily practice, you can choose a fire attribute spell and practice the art of controlling fire. This is very necessary for the weapon refiner." The voice of the third cave master sounded, But he was reminding Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming subconsciously wanted to say that he practiced cultivation, but he immediately stopped talking.

Not to mention that there are problems with the source of his magic. Even a violent magic like Explosion has nothing to do with controlling fire. If he really uses it, even the casting furnace will explode immediately. .

"Yes." Yuan Ming nodded.

"For the second smelting, the heat is particularly important. You should take care of it." The third cave master said.

"The Master of the Third Cave personally gave his instructions, and the disciples must keep them in mind."

In fact, she didn't need to remind him, Yuan Ming would not miss such a rare opportunity to observe.

After the third cave master finished saying this, he stopped talking and concentrated on controlling the temperature of the flame and the furnace.

After all, the herring sword is a secondary smelting. It is different from the primary smelting, which requires all materials to be melted, impurities removed, and fused together. Instead, it must be calcined to a critical state where the form remains but the gas is dispersed.

Once this critical state is passed, the shape of the herring sword will melt and lose its original solid structure. However, if it fails to reach this critical state, there will be no way to integrate the Yin Jade into it.

Yuan Ming understands this principle, but when it comes to actual operation, he is still unable to do it with his current skills.

After burning for about half a quarter of an hour, the temperature in the casting furnace suddenly rose, and the whole body of the herring sword lit up in blazing white, golden, and bright red luster from the inside to the outside.

"Yin Yu." The Third Cave Master said with a slight frown.

Yuan Ming immediately offered it with both hands.

The Third Cave Master took the Yin Jade with one hand and gently stroked the sealed door of the casting furnace with the other hand.

The door on the furnace was opened again, and an even more intense wave of air surged out, but the flame was still controlled by the three cave masters.

Then, with a hook of her finger, a ray of magic power pulled out the herring sword and placed it on the casting platform.

Almost at the same time, the third cave master grabbed Yin Yu's hand and pressed it on the herring sword.

"hiss……"

With a soft sound, a large amount of white mist steamed up, obscuring Yuan Ming's vision.

He only saw the third cave master closing the fire pond door, grabbing the casting hammer next to him, and smashing it towards the casting platform.

"Clang, Clang, Clang"

The sound of hammering sounded one after another, and no sparks could be seen splashing on the casting platform, but one aperture after another could be seen shining with each hammer blow.

Only a vague and graceful figure can be seen in the diffuse mist, and the movements are smooth and smooth, without giving people any sense of vulgarity.

Yuan Ming's eyes condensed, and he concentrated his magic power on his eyes, and his vision immediately improved greatly.

Only then did he see that when the three-hole master hammered, the flying rainbow on the herring sword shone brightly, and it was covered with a thin layer of white jade powder. No matter how it vibrated, it always stayed around the sword body and would not dissipate.

After each hammer of the Three Cave Masters falls, some jade powder will enter the sword body and merge with it.

After each fusion, the light of the sword body will shrink by one point, and the heat on it will also obviously decrease by one point.

At this time, the master of the third cave was seen swinging his hammer faster and faster, and the "clang" hammering sound began to become continuous.

Yuan Ming was dazzled by what he saw, and secretly marveled in his heart. Not to mention the number of consecutive hammer blows, the speed was already beyond his reach for the time being.

However, Yuan Ming could clearly see that the reason why the Third Cave Master suddenly accelerated was to maintain the temperature of the sword body through hammering to ensure that all the Yin Jade crystal powder could be integrated into the sword body.

At this moment, a cry suddenly came from outside the courtyard in front: "The master of the third cave is here. The master of the big cave ordered his disciples to come and invite me. We have urgent matters to discuss."

"What a coincidence?" Yuan Ming frowned, fearing that the Third Cave Master would be affected.

The Great Cave Master invites you in an urgent matter, how can the matter of a small registered disciple of his be compared with this? If the Third Cave Master stops here, then all the previous efforts will be wasted. Not to mention the spiritual materials he has worked so hard to find will be scrapped, and the Herring Sword I am afraid that I have also lost the possibility of improving my grade.

Fortunately, the latter's movements were not delayed at all. It was as if he had not heard and was not affected in the slightest.

The people outside seemed to hear the movement inside, and fearing that they didn't hear it inside, they used their magic power to shout loudly, and the sound immediately came in more clearly.

But the third cave master kept swinging the hammer, and nothing seemed to disturb her.

Yuan Ming felt relieved when he saw this scene.

He counted silently in his mind. It was not until the third cave master swung his hammer 3,681 times in succession that the sound of hammering finally stopped, and the mist surrounding him had long since dissipated.

The third cave master put down the casting hammer, held the brand-new herring sword in one hand, and raised it in front of him for observation.

The shape of the long sword has not changed much, but the green sword has countless more white star points than before. It looks like snow falling in the blue sky or like a star curtain, but it is more dazzling and gorgeous than before.

Yuan Ming's eyes lit up, and he saw the sword looming, with wisps of white cold air leaking out.

"Is it done?" he couldn't help but ask.

"The fusion of materials is very good, and the properties of the Yin Jade are perfectly matched with the Herring Sword. As long as there is no problem with the talisman engraving on the back, this sword is at least a middle-grade magic weapon." The third cave master was also quite satisfied and said.

"Thank you so much, Lord Three Cave." Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming immediately bowed down and thanked him sincerely.
