Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Making your own magic weapon is undoubtedly a very expensive job.

In Zhou Minghan's inheritance of the fourth-tier craftsman, there happened to be that craftsman's experience summarizing the self-made magic weapon, which is why he suggested that Zhou Yang try to create his own magic weapon.

According to the above records of the artifact refining inheritance, if a craftsman wants to create his own magic weapon, it is best to choose a common sword and sword magic weapon to try, because the refining materials of this kind of magic weapon usually do not need too much, in terms of fault tolerance rate , It is not comparable to small instruments such as flying needles and daggers.

Even so, the spirit stones that should be burned still have to be burned. A craftsman with an average fortune really can't afford this kind of money-burning game.

Zhou Yang dared to use this method to cultivate because of his family's mine.

In order to create his own magic weapon, he directly withheld 30% of the production of red flame iron ore veins and refined iron ore veins, and used it to refine the first-level top-grade magic weapon "flaming sword".

With his current cultivation and weapon refining skills, it would take no more than two quarters of an hour to refine a first-level magic weapon, and the success rate is also 100%.

But that refers to refining magical artifacts that already have a map of refining artifacts. If you want to create your own magical artifacts, of course you can't do that.

Therefore, he took the initiative to extend the time for refining a magic weapon to one hour, and in order to increase the success rate, he did not hesitate to use the "Qianyang True Fire" to temper the impurities in the raw materials.

The "flaming sword" he envisioned must have a magic ban "raging flame". This magic ban is composed of six rune nodes and twelve spirit patterns connecting the rune nodes. These runes and spirit patterns must be Completely and coherently integrated into the sword embryo, forming a perfect cycle.

The structure and shape of the original first-order magic weapon "Flame Knife" is the shape that is most suitable for the "flame" ban.

Now, however, Zhou Yang wanted to modify the original arrangement of the "raging flames" magic ban through trial and error without changing the overall shape of the sword embryo, and finally modified a "raging flame" magic spell suitable for sword magic weapons.

This is undoubtedly extremely difficult. The arrangement of the "flame" method in the "flame knife" is the best choice that the senior craftsmen found out after countless attempts, and it is already very stable and mature.

He now wants to change the arrangement of the "Forbidden Law", even a slight change in the position of a rune node, or the arc of the spirit pattern, may cause the forbidden law to fail, and then destroy the embryo of the magic weapon.

And every time he fails, Zhou Yang will use his spiritual consciousness to record his failure point in the blank jade slip, and then test the new combination method by comparing the results recorded every day.

At this time, Zhou Yang would miss the mobile phone and computer in his previous life. Although the jade slip can also record a large amount of knowledge information, compared with computers and mobile phones, it is not at the same level in terms of storage capacity and recording convenience.

Why do immortal cultivators have to be above the foundation stage to record knowledge information with jade slips?

The reason is because only the metamorphosis and condensed spiritual consciousness of the monks in the foundation building period can keep the information left in the jade slips for a long time, and will not dissipate soon.

Spring went to autumn, winter went to summer solstice, and in the blink of an eye, the blank jade slips that Zhou Yang used to record information had filled a three-story cabinet, and the number of top and bottom jade slips had exceeded 800!

Eight hundred jade slips represent 800 pieces of first-grade magical artifacts. If calculated based on the market price of ten low-grade spirit stones for a first-grade magic artifact on the market, it is 8,000 low-grade spirit stones!

Burning 8,000 low-grade spirit stones in two years, even though Zhou Yang's family has a mine, he felt that he couldn't take it anymore, so he had to suspend this money-burning game.

As the patriarch, of course he has the right to use the family resources to cultivate, but the patriarch can't waste the family resources like this!

So the spirit stones he burns now are actually going to be charged to the family's finances.

Based on the fact that the red flame iron material worth three spiritual stones is consumed to refine a magic weapon, his more than 800 jade slips are worth more than 2,500 low-grade spiritual stones, plus the cost of making and purchasing the blank jade slips. , he owed at least three thousand low-grade spirit stones to the family.

He doesn't need to repay this spirit stone now, but it will be deducted from his family's offerings in the future.

And the family contribution points he owes now have reached more than 20,000 points because of the purchase of the Foundation Establishment Pill and a few third-order magic weapons taken from the family treasure house. Technique", the result after deducting 10,000 contribution points.

Calculated based on his yearly offering of 300 contribution points, it will take at least 70 to 80 years to repay this debt.

This is because he is a monk in the foundation period and the patriarch of the family can do this. Otherwise, if he were an ordinary family monk, Zhou Xuanlin, who was in charge of managing the family's finances, would have come to collect debts in person.

What made Zhou Yang most depressed and heartbroken was that he burned so many spirit stones for experiments, but achieved very few results, not even one success.

If you want to become a third-tier refiner, you still can't see any hope.

The only thing that comforts him is that although his own career has not been going well, the family business has been thriving and smooth sailing in the past few years.

It has been more than five years since he returned to the family to take over as the patriarch after establishing the foundation.

In the past five years, the family branch on the Baisha River Oasis has officially established a firm foothold, and provided the family with six newborns with spiritual roots through the "Fengyue Building", including a middle-grade spiritual root baby girl.

In addition, after five years of preparation, the Chen family has rebuilt a city of immortal cultivators on a third-order middle-grade spirit vein on Baituo Ridge, and named it "Ping'an Square City". Chen Pingan, a monk who established the foundation, planned to sit in it all year round.

According to the original commitment of the Chen family, the Zhou family got two shops for free in the newly built "Ping'anfang City", and put up the signs of "Yuquan Building" and "Zuixian Building" again. Zhou Yang's father Zhou Xuanhao also Officially stationed in Fangshi and became one of the resident monks in Fangshi.

On the family side, Zhou Xuantai, the current great elder of the Zhou family, was successfully promoted to a second-tier low-rank array mage, and his seventeenth uncle, Zhou Xuanzhao, was also successfully promoted to a second-tier beast tamer by domesticating the hatched "Flame-eating Spider". Two aspects enhance the family heritage.

In addition, Eleventh Uncle Zhou Xuankun also broke through to the ninth level of Qi training and became the fifth elder of the Zhou family. Among the remaining monks of the "Xuan" and "Yuan" generations, many people also experienced a breakthrough in cultivation.

What's more, the number of newborns in the family has increased dramatically in the past five years. There are as many as twelve newborns with spiritual root qualifications, including one high-grade spiritual root and two middle-grade spiritual roots.

In this way, five babies of the "Yuan" generation born to the "Xuan" generation were removed, and the number of monks of the "Guang" generation in the next generation of the Zhou family had reached as many as fifteen.

Because too many babies were born at the same time, Zhou Yang had no choice but to ask the old patriarch Zhou Minghan to build a monk school on Yuquan Peak, so that all children up to the age of five could enter the school to learn the knowledge of cultivating immortals. a few lessons.

On this day, when Zhou Yang was practicing in his bedroom, he suddenly received a letter from the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, asking him to go to Yuquan Peak to discuss an urgent matter.

He didn't dare to neglect after receiving the letter, and immediately went to his mother Lin Yuting and eighth aunt Zhou Xuanyan to explain the situation, and then released the flying sword and flew towards the Yuquan Lake Oasis.

As soon as he rushed back to Yuquan Peak, he was immediately called into the cave by the old patriarch to discuss matters.

"Today, Chen Pingzhi suddenly sent me a letter from Feijian four thousand miles away, asking you to go to the Baisha River Oasis to help him with something. His letter didn't say anything. What do you think?"

Inside the cave on the top of the mountain, while talking about the purpose of calling Zhou Yang in a hurry, Zhou Minghan took out a small golden sword more than two feet long and handed it to him.

This small golden sword is made by using the third-order spiritual object "Chixuan fine gold". The third-tier top-rank Messenger Flying Sword is used to send messages to the family at critical moments.

Although the value of this kind of flying sword used for communication is not as high as the flying sword used in Tier Dou Fa, it is at least worth thousands of spirit stones. You can see the whole leopard at a glance. This shows how deep the family background of the Zifu family like the Chen family is.

One must know that even a great sect like Huang Shamen can't achieve the level 3 high-grade communication flying sword in the hands of the foundation-building monks under the sect.

Zhou Yang played with the flying sword in his hand, thought carefully for a while, and then looked at the old patriarch and asked, "What do you think, great-grandfather? Based on your experience, Chen Pingzhi asked me to do something for him at this time, what exactly would it be?" matter?"

Zhou Minghan obviously thought about this question, and when he heard him ask this question, he immediately replied: "According to what I have learned in the past few years, Old Ancestor Chen not only did not give up searching for the whereabouts of the sand bandits who attacked the oasis, but instead I sent monks from the Chen family and hired casual monks to search for the bandits in the surrounding sand seas many times, so I even discovered several new small oases and spiritual veins."

"According to my estimate, Chen Pingzhi should have learned about the location of a certain senior monk's cave, or about a certain rare spiritual object, from some lucky casual cultivator."

"He didn't want to share this benefit with the Chen family, so he asked you, an outsider who owes him favors, to accompany him on the adventure."

This explanation is reasonable, and Zhou Yang also knows that in a big family like the Chen family that has been passed down for seven or eight hundred years, it is inevitable that some nasty things will happen.

As Chen Ping's half-brother, Chen Pingzhi would definitely be squeezed out by other Chen family foundation-building monks when his elder brother Chen Ping occupied a lot of resources in the family. He probably didn't want to share his wealth with those people chance.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but follow the words of the old patriarch and said to himself: "He didn't want to share his chance with the Chen family, but he didn't call his brother Chen Pingan either. It seems that the chance is not too great, so If so, the danger should not exceed the foundation-building level."

"It should be like this." Zhou Minghan nodded, agreeing with his speculation.

"In that case, great-grandfather should write back Feijian's letter and say that I agree, and I will go to the Baisha River Oasis to meet him later." Zhou Yang pondered for a while, and quickly made a choice.

To make this choice, firstly, he wanted to be favored by Chen Pingzhi, secondly, he also wanted to take the opportunity to visit his father at the Baisha River Oasis after seeing him for a few years, and bring his mother there to reunite with his father, thirdly, he wanted to grow up See and experience the life of immortal cultivators teaming up to explore.

After he made his choice, he handed the messenger flying sword to the old patriarch, and then watched as the old patriarch poured a lot of mana into the flying sword, which turned into a golden light and flew through the air towards the Baisha River Oasis.
