Cultivation Begins From The Desert

I don't know how long it will take Jiang Fengxian to retreat and form the alchemy, so Zhou Yang naturally won't just wait and do nothing.

Although he promised Jiang Fengxian to protect him, he would not leave Qingyunyuan before his alchemy formed, but this did not mean that he had to guard outside his retreat all the time.

With the protection of two fifth-order formations inside and outside, even if it is an attack by a golden core stage monk, it is not possible to break into the cave in a short time.

So Zhou Yang entered the Artifact Refining Hall in Qingyun Garden very at ease, and began to attack the fourth-rank middle-grade Artifact Refiner.

In the past seven years, while he has devoted himself to cultivating and improving his cultivation, he has not lost his skill in refining weapons.

Xu Song was not only a rare fifth-order formation master, but also a fifth-order weapon refining master. Zhou Yang's weapon refining skills have been instructed by him in these years, and his progress has been rapid.

The many refining materials obtained from the storage rings of Duanmuyong, Lin Ruihua and others also provided a solid foundation for Zhou Yang's practice.

He even used the materials in his hand to remake and repair his severed "Da Yan Shen Light Sword".

Up to now, his success rate in refining fourth-tier low-grade magic weapons has reached 30% to 40%, and he is fully qualified to become a fourth-tier middle-grade weapon refiner.

In order to be safe this time, Zhou Yang let Xu Song fly out from the "Yunshen Card" to protect and supervise him.

After turning to become a ghost cultivator, Xu Song's cultivation level dropped to the purple mansion stage, and the ghost cultivator of the purple mansion stage has not yet condensed the ghost body, so he can only use the dark yin energy to condense into a form to appear in the world.

However, with Xu Song's original foundation of the eighth level of the Golden Core, as long as he is given a certain amount of time, it is almost no problem to become a ghost cultivator of the Golden Core Stage in the future.

Moreover, when he himself traveled to the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou, he also knew the locations of several places with strong yin energy. As long as Zhou Yang took him to those places and let him absorb the yin Practicing qi, condensing ghost pills is just around the corner.

After everything was ready, Zhou Yang officially started to refine the furnace.

This time, he plans to refine two magical weapons in a row. The materials for the refining are also the "Ghost Cat" eyeballs and the "Canglan Cloud Tiger" horn that he personally obtained by beheading monsters.

The eyeballs of the "Nether Cat" are the carrier of its innate magical powers. If this object is successfully refined into a magic weapon, it is very likely to retain the magical powers.

In order to increase the success rate of refining, Zhou Yang followed Xu Song's suggestion and did not use Zhigang Zhiyang's "Qianyang True Fire" to refine this magic weapon, but used the ground fire in the refining hall.

However, to his disappointment, although he had tried his best to be cautious during the refining process, and had prepared various remedial measures for failure in his heart in advance, the refining failed unsatisfactorily this time.

Originally supposed to be a pair of cat's eyes, but in the end only one was barely refined into a magic weapon, and the grade of the magic weapon was also reduced to the third-rank top grade.

Although this cat's eye, which was refined into a "spiritual bead", inherited the magical effect of the "ghost cat", the effect was greatly weakened, and it could only act as a dementor for the monks in the foundation building period.

If a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage sacrificed this magic weapon, when fighting another cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, as long as the opponent did not prepare spiritual charms and treasures such as the "Soul Suppressing Talisman" in advance, he would be defeated without a doubt.

But for the Zifu period monks who established the Zifu Taoist Palace, this magic weapon has no effect.

Unfavorable start made Zhou Yang a little depressed. After all, such a rare material as the eyeballs of the "Ghost Cat" is something that can be encountered but not sought after. Even with his rich net worth, wasting such a rare material is enough for him to feel pain for a while.

It's just that depression is depression, and the refining has to continue.

So he rested for a day or two, summed up the experience of the last failure, and then started the second refining.

This time, using the horn of "Canglan Yunhu" as the material for refining the weapon, he can finally use the "Qianyang True Fire" that he is most familiar with to refine the weapon.

For the success of refining this time, he even did not hesitate to add a rare "Sky Thunder Stone" into the magic weapon as an auxiliary material, so as to enhance the thunder and lightning supernatural power attached to the magic weapon itself.

After three days of careful refining in this way, Zhou Yang finally succeeded in refining the first fourth-order middle-grade magic weapon in his life, the "Tianlei Horn".

This "Heavenly Thunder Horn" is definitely a high-quality fourth-level middle-grade magic weapon. It can not only release lightning that is comparable to fourth-level middle-grade lightning spells to attack the enemy, but also absorb the power of the lightning spell released by the enemy, and It also possesses a large-scale group attack spell "Dementor Thunder".

The fourth-tier middle-grade magic weapon was refined, which means that Zhou Yang has officially become a fourth-tier middle-grade weapon refiner.

But he wasn't just satisfied with that.

He has even bigger ambitions.

With a wave of his hand, a black jade bottle appeared in his hand.

What was contained in this black jade bottle was the beast soul of the "Canglan Cloud Tiger" that he had killed in the "Yunwu Ze".

If the beast souls of monsters above the fourth level are integrated into the magic weapon above the fourth level, it is possible to make the magic weapon produce "artifact soul".

After a magic weapon possesses the "artifact soul", not only the power of the magic weapon itself will be enhanced, but it will also have the supernatural power of "transforming the soul of the weapon", making the magic weapon a truly independent combat unit.

The "Lihuo Suzaku Furnace" in Zhou Yang's hands has a "Artifact Soul", but "Lihuo Suzaku Furnace" is a cauldron for refining equipment after all, even if it has a "Lihuo Suzaku Furnace", it is not very helpful for fighting skills.

However, the "Heavenly Thunder Horn" magic weapon he has newly practiced is a pure offensive magic weapon. If this magic weapon can also have a "device soul", then this magic weapon can be used in fighting skills. The power exerted in it is probably more powerful than some fourth-order high-grade magic weapons.

Roar!

Although it has been lost for more than ten years, but nourished by the jade bottle made of "Soul Cultivation Jade", the beast soul of "Canglan Yunhu" is still the same as when it was just extracted.

As soon as Zhou Yang lifted the seal of the jade bottle, it roared and got out of the jade bottle with a roar.

However, more than ten years have passed, although the ferocity of this beast soul is still there, its wisdom has long since disappeared.

"Presumptuous, a certain Zhou could kill you before you were alive, let alone a beast soul after death? Leave it to me!"

Zhou Yang shouted coldly, pinched the magic formula with both hands, and used a "soul restraint technique" to restrain the beast soul in midair.

Then he threw the "Heavenly Thunder Horn" at the beast soul, and the chi-long horn pierced through the beast soul.

At the same time, he swiftly formed seals with both hands, and struck out one after another spells to fall on the beast soul and the magic weapon, forcing the unconscious beast soul to merge into the magic weapon and become the "device soul" of the magic weapon.

Roar~ Roar!

Although the beast soul has lost the wisdom and spirituality it had in life, its instincts are still there. The instinct of living beings makes it instinctively resist the "artifact soul" that has become a magic weapon, and it will never be free.

Why is it difficult for a magic weapon to have a "device soul"?

The reason is here.

Zhou Yang has no good way to do this, he can only follow the spirit-enhancing formula recorded in the artifact refining classics, and constantly use the formula to force the beast soul to merge into the magic weapon.

Under the pressure of his magic formula, the beast soul did start to fuse with the magic weapon, but the fusion speed was very slow.

And once the fourth-order beast soul leaves the jade bottle made by the "Soul Cultivation Jade", its soul power will continue to dissipate. In addition to the soul power consumed by its instinct to fight against Zhou Yang's formula, it is very likely that it has not yet completed its relationship with Zhou Yang. The fusion of the magic weapon is the first step in which the soul power is exhausted and dissipated.

If there were no accidents, Zhou Yang's "enchantment" with the magic weapon this time must have failed.

But at this moment, Xu Song, who had been watching his refining, made a move.

As a pure ghost cultivator, what he is best at is of course messing with ghosts.

Although the beast soul of a monster does not belong to the ghost category, it is also a kind of soul body, which can be affected by the ghost technique of ghost cultivators.

Under the interference of Xu Song's pure ghost technique "Soul Confusion", the beast soul of "Canglan Yunhu" weakened a lot in its resistance to blending into the "Tianlei Horn". Zhou Yang also seized the opportunity at this time, Intensified coercion.

With the cooperation of the master and the servant, the beast soul was finally fully integrated into the "Heavenly Thunder Horn" before dissipating, forming a tiger pattern on the horn itself.

"Phew, it's really thanks to Senior Xu for your help, otherwise I would have failed this time!"

Zhou Yang withdrew the horn, stretched out his hand gently to stroke the tiger pattern on it, and thanked Xu Song with a smile with a relieved look.

The difficulty of imbuing a magic weapon with a spirit is indeed beyond imagination. You must know that the "Tianlei Horn" is made from the single horn of "Canglan Yunhu" as a material.

It's not hard to imagine how difficult it would be to drive beast souls into it to form a "device soul" if it was replaced with a magic weapon refined from other materials.

He said politely, but Xu Song didn't dare to take credit for being proud, and quickly said modestly: "You Daoist Zhou, you are being polite. The main reason is that this beast soul is only a fourth-order beast soul. If it is replaced by a fifth-order monster beast soul, it will be a mere beast. [Soul Confusion] will not have any effect."

Seeing this, Zhou Yang smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more.

He was very satisfied with Xu Song's attitude.

With the existence of a real master-servant relationship, he can be polite to Xu Song and give him a certain amount of respect.

But if Xu Song, who is a ghost servant, is really shameless, and thinks that if he helps him, he will be able to bully the master, he will not be used to him.

Fortunately, looking at it now, Xu Song is worthy of being a man who lived for more than 700 years, and he is very satisfied with these sophistication.

"Go out and try the power of this magic weapon."

Immediately, he urged Xu Song to return to the "Shen Yun Card" to rest, and then took the "Tianlei Horn" outside to test the power of this magic weapon.

Zhou Yang was very satisfied with the results of the experiment.

After displaying the supernatural power of "Turn into Form", without his active command, the combat power of "Canglan Yunhu" transformed into form is comparable to that of a sixth-level monk in the Purple Mansion.

However, the "Soul Transformation" lasts at most a quarter of an hour, and when the time is up, it will be beaten back to its original shape, and it will take at least half a year of recuperation before it can perform this magical power again.

A quarter of an hour is sometimes enough to decide many things, so Zhou Yang doesn't think this is a defect.

But when he was testing the power of the magic weapon, a loud eagle cry suddenly sounded from outside the valley basin, and then he saw a flash of golden light, and a golden giant eagle with a wingspan of more than ten feet roared down. In front of Zhou Yang.

This golden giant eagle with a wingspan of more than ten feet is Zhou Yang's domesticated pet "Golden Winged Thunder Eagle".

It's just that at this time, after seven years of growth, the Golden Winged Thunder Eagle has grown into a third-tier high-grade monster, and has begun to truly possess a trace of the majesty of a king among eagles.

And these years, Zhou Yang has also followed Jiang Fengxian's original suggestion, slowly teaching this smart pet to learn to identify spirit grass and other monsters and beasts, and giving it the right to freely enter and exit the formation, so that it can go outside on its own Find monsters and wild beasts in the wild jungle to sharpen your strength.

No, right now the golden-winged Thunder Eagle's claws are holding the corpse of a third-tier high-grade snake monster.

Eagles and snakes were natural enemies. Every time the Golden Winged Thunder Eagle brought back prey corpses, three or four times out of ten were all kinds of snake monsters and savage beasts. Zhou Yang was no stranger to this.
