Celestial being

When Yuan Ming saw this, he nodded secretly. He had a deeper understanding of the best magic weapon. After calming down, he continued to look down.

The book also mentioned two methods for forcibly upgrading ordinary magic weapons to top-quality magic weapons.

One is the re-refining method, which uses special means to mix top-grade spiritual materials into the already-refined magic weapon so that it can withstand the infusion of the fourth rune.

The other is a strong injection method. Simply put, the fourth rune is selected as a derivative of the existing runes on the magic weapon. For example, if the magic weapon already has the "ice" rune, then the fourth rune can be selected. The Dao rune is chosen as the "white frost" rune derived from it, or as the next-level "cold" rune.

The advantage of doing this is that it can bypass the restriction that ordinary spiritual materials can only be engraved with three runes. No matter what kind of magic weapon, this method can be used to promote it to the best magic weapon. The disadvantage is that the success rate of this method is extremely low. If you succeed once in a while, you are lucky.

In addition, if the forced irrigation method fails, the magic weapon will be damaged and cannot be used.

And even if the refining is successful, the top-grade magic weapon that uses the strong injection method is not qualified to be promoted to a magic weapon. Compared with the top-grade magic weapon that is refined through normal means, its power is weaker, but it is still much higher than the top-grade magic weapon. Magical weapon.

Yuan Ming read the contents of the book carefully and wrote down the method of refining the best magic weapon.

Naturally, there cannot be only these two methods for upgrading and refining the best magic weapons, but other methods with higher success rates are privately mastered by the weapon refiners and cannot be obtained casually on the market.

In order to find the whereabouts of Shahao, Yuan Ming must now use the possession every seven days on this person. He has no free time to find and secretly learn the weapon refining techniques from the possessed weapon master.

Therefore, he can only try the two methods recorded in the book first. If it doesn't work, he can think of other methods.

However, he doesn't have any top-quality spiritual materials at hand right now, so he can't talk about the re-refining method, so he can only try his luck with the force-feeding method.

Of course, with a method with such a low success rate, he would not dare to use it directly on the black needle. After all, this is the only high-grade magic weapon he is using that is quite convenient now. If something goes wrong, it will really make him cry without tears. .

Yuan Ming thought for a while and suddenly took out a yellow short sword and a cyan feather fan from the storage bag.

Although he had taken these two magical weapons from Gu Qiulong, it was not convenient for them to use them in public. It was perfect to use them to practice at this time.

He first picked up the yellow short sword and recognized that the three runes engraved on it were "earth", "hard" and "sharp". However, when he identified the runes on the cyan feather fan, he had difficulty.

Almost all the runes he mastered came from Master Blackwood's handwriting, and the weapon refining books he purchased later only contained some basic runes.

Of the three runes on the green feather fan, he could only recognize one, "Wind Blade", while the other two were not familiar to him.

However, if it is just for practicing, only one is enough.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and finally decided that the fourth rune to be engraved on the yellow short sword was "Heavy", and the fourth rune on the feather fan was named "Wind Scroll".

They are the derivatives of the "hard" rune and the "wind blade" rune respectively, and are quite related.

Yuan Ming's residence did not have equipment for refining, but fortunately there were several shops in Xiaohu City that rented out refining rooms. He briefly recalled the location, then quickly packed up everything, got up and left. residence.

A month and a half later, somewhere in the refining room, steam was steaming.

In the tall casting furnace, the fiery red spiritual mist tightly wrapped the short Ge, and spiritual power continuously poured into the fourth rune on the handle of the short Ge, slowly filling in the lines.

Everything seemed to be going well, but when the fourth rune was halfway lit up, the Dange suddenly shook, and the first three runes on it also lit up, bursting out with an extremely dazzling light.

There was only a muffled sound of "bang", and the spiritual mist in the furnace expanded instantly, and then quickly dissipated. Soon, there was no light in the furnace.

Yuan Ming opened the sealed door with a dark face and took out the fragments of the yellow short sword.

He looked at a high-grade magic weapon and it turned into nothing. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, feeling melancholy in his heart.

Yuan Ming has not had much contact with weapon refining since leaving Southern Xinjiang. Although he still remembers a lot of basic knowledge, his skills are really rusty.

Therefore, after renting the weapon refining room, he did not directly use the forced irrigation method. After all, this also fell into the category of weapon refining.

He first spent a month practicing forging, and after refining countless spiritual materials, he finally refined his first medium-grade magic weapon.

Although the quality of the magic weapon he refined was not good, it also greatly boosted his morale.

After many attempts, he was convinced that he had mastered the trick of refining a mid-grade magic weapon, and then began to try to refine a high-grade magic weapon.

However, even though the difference is only one rune, the difficulty of refining the high-grade magic weapon has increased several times.

In order to make the refining easier, Yuan Ming almost always chooses simple runes with fewer strokes to imbue the spirit. However, every time he is halfway through the refining, something unexpected happens. After half a month, not one of them can be successfully completed. .

Even top-grade magic weapons cannot be refined, let alone top-grade magic weapons.

But before Yuan Ming gave up completely, he still had a bit of luck in his heart. He thought of giving the force-feeding method one last try, thinking that it might be easier than refining it from scratch.

The result in front of him made him completely give up the idea of ​​using the strong injection method to refine the best magic weapon.

He simply cleaned up, then got up and left the rented weapon refining room.

…

Two hours later.

Yuan Ming returned to the secret room of residence No. 86 and placed all the books he bought on the way back on the table.

For him, there are two most difficult aspects of Shahao. One is the silver ball, the top-quality magic weapon in his hand, and the other is his soul cultivation illusion.

The road to refining the best magic weapon was blocked. Yuan Ming had no better way to deal with the silver ball for the moment, so he could only consider how to deal with Sha Hao's illusion first.

As a disciple of Xi Cangqiong, Sha Hao's attainments in the soul cultivation illusion art have been passed down by the great elder, and he even has a tendency to outperform others.

But Yuan Ming could only cross the river by feeling the stones and figure out how to use the illusion.

Therefore, he went to the shops in the city that sold various classics and bought some classics.

These classics more or less record some preliminary knowledge of illusions and some battles related to illusions. Yuan Ming chose to learn the knowledge of illusions from the passages in these books, which was also a helpless move. After all, he could be regarded as the shadow of his soul cultivation master. , now living in southern Xinjiang, far more than thousands of miles away from Xiaohu City, even using the transmission notes she left behind, she couldn't contact her.

When he fought with Shaho before, due to the emergency, he suddenly burst out with emotion, but he forgot about this, so he used one.

It's just that the book he bought is very superficial. The author's analysis of illusion is not profound, and he even has biased views. But as an ordinary monk who understands illusion and fills in the basic knowledge, he can make do.

One of the books mentioned that the essence of illusion is to use spiritual consciousness to influence the other party's perception.

Whether it is through spells or runes, the illusions cast are bound to consume the monk's own spiritual power.

Therefore, the stronger the power of divine consciousness, the more realistic the illusions cast and the harder it is to crack.

In the same way, if you want to restrain illusions, you must either have a spiritual power that far exceeds that of the caster, or use rare talismans and other means to crack it.

After reading it, Yuan Ming remembered that the range that his illusions could cover was equivalent to the range that his divine consciousness could reach. He immediately nodded and believed a lot in the contents of this book.

However, then, he remembered something again.

In the final analysis, illusion is just a method that every soul cultivator can master. The different weird abilities after the soul transforms are the unique trump card of a soul cultivator.

The ability of Yuan Ming's transformed soul crow, such as traveling far away, is more of a auxiliary one. So what kind of abilities should Shahao's blood bat have?

Yuan Ming carefully recalled the details of the fight with Sha Hao. No matter how Yuan Ming escaped, Sha Hao could always find him.

However, with this ability and Sha Hao's soul transforming into a blood bat, Yuan Ming still felt that this was more like Sha Hao mastering some kind of secret technique or magical weapon.

Yuan Ming thought hard to no avail, so he changed his mind and began to think about what things in himself could restrain the use of his spiritual consciousness.

Soon, he thought of Wu Xiang.

The fog created by Wuxiang cannot be directly seen through by even the Great Elder. It must also have a restraining effect on Shahao.

Yuan Ming thought for a moment, then got up and left the residence, left Xiaohu City, drove his magical weapon to the Yuxu Swamp, found a secluded place, dropped down on his own initiative, took out the Heaven-Stealing Cauldron, took a piece of mist incense and inserted it into it. It was ignited and King Kong was released at the same time.

Soon, the thick white fog engulfed the figures of Yuan Ming and King Kong, covering the entire area.

"I want to test whether Wuxiang can restrain the illusion. No matter what you see later, just stand still and don't move." Yuan Ming warned, and then walked to a place five steps away from King Kong.

He saw King Kong nodding towards him, seeming to be ready, so he concentrated his energy and wanted to perform the illusion.

However, shrouded in white mist, his consciousness could hardly leave his body and could not contact King Kong at all, let alone cause him to fall into an illusion.

Yuan Ming tried several more times, gradually closing the distance between himself and King Kong. However, until he walked up to King Kong and pressed his hands on King Kong's shoulders, he failed to successfully perform the illusion.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Ming felt a little more excited.

Wuxiang does have a restraining effect on illusions. With this trump card, it will probably be much easier to deal with Shahao in the future.

After the test had the results, Yuan Ming stopped staying any longer, extinguished the fragrance of fog, put away the King Kong and the Heaven-Stealing Cauldron, then drove the jade shuttle and prepared to return to Xiaohu City.

But suddenly, his expression changed and he stopped.

"what happened?"

Just now, he actually received a distress message from Huazhi through the spiritual beast.

Yuan Ming didn't think much, and quickly changed direction and flew towards the place where the flower branches were.
