Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

There is a law in the world of cultivation, that is, excluding disposable consumables such as elixirs and charms, the value of objects is always greater than that of people. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is difficult for monks to own artifacts and magic weapons that are equivalent to their own cultivation level.

This is especially true in Nanhai. The side sect has little knowledge and many monks, so the utensils used by the side sect monks are often one or two steps lower than themselves.

For example, the former Lingbao master Chen Yanqi, a sixth-level monk in the late stage of returning to the void, only had a fifth-level immortal weapon and a set of fifth-level formations in his hands, which was a big gap between his own cultivation level.

This is Chen Yanqi, a fifth-level master with both weapon and array skills. If it were another side sect that would only have an immortal weapon at most, some of them would use spiritual treasures pitifully, and it would be difficult for outsiders to know the sadness behind it.

The value of the artifact is so high, there is nothing we can do about it.

After all, the various arts of cultivation become more complicated and difficult in the later stages.

Take weapon refining as an example. If an ordinary weapon refiner wants to refine a low-grade fairy weapon, he must not only raise his weapon refining skills to the fifth level, but also collect various materials, and then plan and prepare according to the treasure refining method. , worked hard and exhausted all his energy before he could hope to refine a low-grade immortal weapon.

During this period, if there is a mistake in one link or a lack of preparation, the work may fail, causing the materials to be scrapped and wasted.

Therefore, refining immortal weapons is a very risky thing. Without complete assurance and complete preparation, the weapon refiner will definitely not open the furnace easily.

Some masters of weapon refining only have a few works of immortal weapons in their lifetime, because each one requires painstaking efforts and careful planning, and it is common for them to take hundreds or even thousands of years.

so……

"Fellow Taoist, isn't March too hasty?"

Li Cangwu expressed his worries tactfully.

It is so difficult for low-grade immortal weapons, let alone mid-grade immortal weapons.

Looking at the South China Sea, only the ten major sects that have produced Mahayana monks have sixth-level artifacts or formations.

For example, the Nanhai sect he belongs to has a middle-grade immortal weapon, which is the sect's most precious treasure and has always been held by the Mahayana ancestor. Unless the Mahayana ancestor dies at the end of his life, there is no way that the middle-grade immortal weapon can be passed on to him. in hand.

That's why he traveled all over the world, painstakingly collecting high-level spiritual materials such as Star King Iron, in order to refine a middle-grade immortal sword for himself, which would not only improve his own combat power, but also add a bit of foundation to the Nanhai Sect.

The Nanhai Sect is like this, and the Holy Land of the Central Plains is not much better. Only the Holy Master of the Immortal Sect and some extremely powerful combined elders can control a middle-grade immortal weapon. As for the high-grade immortal weapon, it is the treasure of the sect and cannot be moved unless it is Mahayana. .

It can be seen that the immortal weapon is valuable!

Therefore, it is not surprising that Li Cangwu was hesitant. He had gone through so much trouble to collect rare and rare high-level spiritual materials like Xingchen Wangtie. If something went wrong, he would have no place to cry.

"Fellow Taoist, don't worry."

Xu Yang smiled and said confidently: "Three months is enough time. If it fails, all the materials will be lost!"

"this……"

Such words made people even more shocked. Li Cangwu looked at Xu Yang, and then his expression calmed down: "Fellow Taoist treats me like this, what else can Cang Wu say? It's just something external, so just do what you want!"

A sword cultivator is a sword cultivator after all, and he quickly put away that hesitation and worry.

The edge of a sword is sharpened, without going through hardships or hardships. How can it be sharpened to a world-shattering edge?

"Then let's get started."

Xu Yang smiled, accepted the storage bag containing the Star King Iron and other materials, and then said to Li Cangwu: "This weapon refining requires the use of the fire spirit earth veins. Please ask fellow Taoists to wait outside the hall."

After that, he turned to Gui Sanqian and said, "Pass it down, within three months, all weapon refining matters on the island will be suspended!"

"Yes, sir!"

Gui Sanqian nodded and turned around.

Li Cangwu didn't say much and followed him away.

Like this, after a while...

A Qingyun flew out, and a person sat on the cloud, sweeping away the dust in his hand.

"Rumble!"

Suddenly, the Fire Spirit Palace trembled, the ground veins began to rotate, and the entire spiritual island began to vibrate.

Chen Yan, a fifth-level master of the Qi Weapon Formation, also had some whimsical ideas. This Fire Spirit Hall is not only a training cave, the core of the formation, but also an underground furnace for refining weapons, getting twice the result with half the effort and getting more exquisite products.

After Xu Yang took over, he even improved it and made a Nine Palaces Bagua Furnace. I don’t know how many magic weapons have been produced over the years. Sometimes he also used the alchemy cauldron to refine various elixirs and medicines, which were sent to the White Jade Capital for supply to Wandao Academy. .

Li Cangwu didn't know the key, he only saw Xu Yang riding out of the clouds, waving magic power with the fly whisk in his hand, causing the shape of the Fire Spirit Hall to change, turning into a furnace in the Bagua formation, with the inside filled with red color.

immediately……

"boom!"

In the Eight Diagrams, I saw the Nine Palaces again, with nine fire dragons roaring up, adding to the power of the earth fire.

"Nine-Nine Fire Dragon Formation?"

Li Cangwu's eyes narrowed, and then he frowned: "It's specious, but it's even more powerful!"

After saying that, he looked at Xu Yang again and was even more surprised: "Fellow Taoist Xuanyuan, not only is he an outstanding weapon, but he is also a master of formations?"

Back then, he blocked the door outside Lingbao Island and was blocked by Chen Yanqi with the power of a large formation, so he was no stranger to the Nine-Nine Fire Dragon Formation on Lingbao Island.

Although there are nine fire dragons rampant in this current formation, it is obviously different from the nine-nine fire dragon formation on Lingbao Island back then, especially the power of the fire, which has clearly reached the sixth level limit.

Although the Nine-Nine Fire Dragon Formation back then could be advanced to the sixth level, it had to sacrifice the entire fire spirit leyline, which was a last resort and should not be used lightly.

Although the current formation also uses the power of the Fire Essence Earth Veins, it is only part of it, not all of it. It does not damage the fundamentals, but is more controlled. Such methods are mysterious in every aspect, which is much better than Chen Yanqi's back then. It must be the master of the formation. for.

All of them have reached the sixth level of the weapon, magic, formation, and Taoism, and they have achieved a lot.

This kind of person, not to mention the South China Sea side gate, is the righteous way of the Central Plains, I'm afraid they are not rare, right?

Li Cangwu was secretly shocked.

Xu Yang didn't pay attention, and he unleashed his magic power, increasing the intensity of the fire and raising the power of the "Nine Palaces and Bagua Furnace" to its limit.

The Nine Palaces Bagua Furnace is also a treasure of Taoism. It has a Nine Palaces Bagua Formation and is best at mobilizing the power of heavenly thunder and earth fire. Legend has it that it is the method passed down by Taishang Taoist ancestors. It can refine six dings of divine fire, forge elixirs and refine treasures with ease.

However, legends are just legends. There is no method beyond the golden elixir in the Taoist world, and the Nine Palaces and Bagua array is also incomplete. Even if it is later integrated with the Yuanling world and the ancient sect's relics, it can only make up for the sixth level, and can barely refine it. "Samadhi is really hot!"

Xu Yang sat on the cloud, and with a flash of inspiration, his fly whisk turned into a Lingbao-level wind and fire cattail leaf fan, and he fanned it towards the Nine Palaces and Bagua furnace formed by the Fire Spirit Hall. Suddenly, the red fire was like a dragon, raging and turning, Nine Palaces and Bagua, Refining Samadhi together.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

In just a moment, the Nine Palaces and Bagua turned fiery red, burning the void with scorching hot power. Even a combined power such as Li Cangwu felt a wave of heat approaching.

"Such a true fire... No wonder Fellow Taoist Xuanyuan is so confident that he will be successful in three months!"

Feeling the samadhi fire in the Jiugong Bagua furnace, Li Cangwu's heart calmed down even more.

At this time, Xu Yang also threw out the storage bag, and the star king iron turned into a beam of starlight, which shot directly into the Jiugong Bagua Furnace and was calcined by the true fire of Samadhi.

This Star King Iron is the core of the star. It is ranked sixth level and extremely strong. Not to mention ordinary flames, it is fifth level spiritual fire and ordinary sixth level true fire. It would take decades to incinerate it. effort.

But the Samadhi True Fire in the Nine Palaces Bagua Furnace is not ordinary. It is made by the combination of Xu Yang and the Five Elements. It is divided into the king's divine fire, the minister's essence fire, the people's fire Samadhi, the king and his ministers assist the envoys. The five elements are combined, burned in the Nine Palaces Array, and burned in the Bagua Furnace. Even black iron and fine gold are transformed into red fire liquid.

It can be seen that the star king iron, which is dark and gleaming with starlight, gradually burns red in the furnace fire, refining the impurities, leaving only the black iron elite, and gradually turns into a liquid state.

Xu Yang sat on Qingyun, inciting the wind and fire futon while putting various spiritual materials into the furnace, merging them with the star king iron, and improving the quality of the main materials with the help of kings and ministers. He could see Li Cangwu's splendor beside him. Again and again.

Although he was not familiar with the art of refining weapons, he could still see that this method was mysterious and definitely not an ordinary method, and it must have a great background.

In this way, March passed.

On Lingbao Island, in front of the Bagua furnace.

Xu Yang was sitting alone with a calm expression. The wind and fire cattail fan had been put away and he no longer fanned the true fire of Samadhi.

In the Bagua furnace, the fire was slightly subdued, and a pair of swords floated in the fire. They were the embryos of the two swords of heaven and thunder.

In March, with the help of the Nine Palaces Bagua and the True Fire of Samadhi, he successfully melted the Star King Iron and various high-level spiritual materials to forge this pair of sword embryos.

But it's just a sword embryo. It can't be called the Twin Swords of Heaven and Thunder, let alone be released just like that.

What comes next is the key.

Xu Yang was seen chanting incantations, activating his magic power, punching out talismans, patterns, and marks, falling into the Bagua furnace, and carving them into the embryos of the two swords, forming a series of restrictions to enhance the power of the magic weapon and the fairy spirit.

"Boom!"

As the treasure refining formula was activated, the fire of Samadhi increased again. The true fire of Samadhi was refined into the embryos of the two swords, giving the swords the power of "earth fire".

Under the tempering of this true fire, the sword embryo gradually emerges, its edge is revealed, and its energy is astonishing.

In this way, Xu Yang didn't give up, and activated the Thunder Taoist Technique, throwing colorful thunderbolts into the furnace.

"this……"

"Five Elements Divine Thunder?"

"Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan, do you still know how to use thunder?"

Even if he is a powerful combination, his pupils shrink suddenly and his expression suddenly changes when he sees this scene.

Li Cangwu stood aside, no longer knowing how to express his feelings.

A large array of weapons, a sixth-level art.

The Five Elements of Thunder, the Harmony of Swordsmanship.

Is this an accomplishment that a Void Returning monk can have?

The lifespan of the transformed god is two thousand, and the lifespan of the return to the void is five thousand. Only when they are combined can they live happily for thousands of years.

A monk who has returned to the void and only has five thousand lifespan. He practices weapons, formations, five elements of divine thunder, and unrivaled swordsmanship. He goes hand in hand without falling behind...

This is something mere mortals can do.

Li Cangwu considered himself to be a genius with a heavenly spiritual root and a thunder attribute. He was not inferior to the Taoist Son of the Holy Land in the Immortal Sect Holy Land. However, facing such a practice, he still felt his scalp numb, like a A hiker saw a long road with no end, but it was difficult for him to have the courage to try it.

Is this something a human can do?

But he...

For a moment, I was confused and confused.

Putting aside Li Cangwu's feelings, Xu Yang still concentrated on firing the Five Elements Divine Thunder into the Bagua Furnace continuously, using the thunder and fire from heaven and earth to refine the two swords.

So and so...

“Buzz!!!”

There was a sound of swords, all moving together, the sharp edges of the Bagua Furnace rose up, and the two swords were like dragons about to be born.

"It's done?!"

Li Cangwu's eyes narrowed and he spoke in surprise.

"One more thing to go!"

Xu Yang shook his head, raised his eyes, and looked upward.

Although the twin swords of thunder and lightning have been refined with thunder and fire, they can only meet the requirements of "Thunder Flame", and they are no more than five levels at most.

If you want to advance to the sixth level and become a middle-grade fairy, you still need the help of "Sky Strike"!

What is a strike from heaven?

naturally……

"Boom!"

The clouds of calamity suddenly descended and rolled violently, suddenly turning into a dark sky, with thunder and lightning, which was thrilling.

"Heavenly disaster!"

Li Cangwu's eyes narrowed, looking at the clouds of calamity gathering in the sky, and he was at a loss for a moment.

Feeling at a loss is not because of fear, but because of not knowing how to deal with it.

Although he also knew that when an immortal weapon was born, there would be a catastrophe, but he was not a weapon refiner and was not familiar with the weapon refining method. He really didn't know how to deal with the catastrophe of this weapon.

Should he let the two swords bear the responsibility alone, or should he help himself in the disaster?

Li Cangwu was at a loss and could only turn his attention to Xu Yang.

Xu Yang smiled and said nothing, just waiting for the disaster to come.

At the same time, outside Lingbao Island...

"Um!?"

"Heavenly tribulation?"

"Lingbao Island, Wanjian Pavilion!"

"Then Li Xuanyuan entered the country and merged?"

"No, this kind of power is not the combined calamity!"

"This is the calamity of returning to the void, but apart from Li Xuanyuan, there are no other outstanding figures in Wanjian Pavilion."

"Could it be...!?"

In a startling moment, all parties moved, and rays of escaping light came through the void and landed outside Lingbao Island. They looked at the sky full of calamity clouds with surprise and uncertainty, and Lingbao Island, which was fully open and unobstructed.

"really!"

"Immortal sword!"

"Sixth-level weapon calamity, middle-grade fairy sword!"

"This Li Xuanyuan actually refined a middle-grade immortal sword!"

"This boy is indeed a sixth-level weapon refiner!"

Looking at the calamity clouds in the sky and the raging Nine Palaces and Bagua Furnace on Lingbao Island, everyone who came over was filled with fear.

After being frightened, strange thoughts arose.

"This Li Xuanyuan's swordsmanship is unparalleled. In recent years, he has killed more than ten fellow warriors who have returned to the void. If he is allowed to refine a middle-grade immortal sword again, even a powerful fusion sword will not be able to hold him down."

"There are only a few middle-grade immortal weapons in the South China Sea. This person has just returned to the void. How can he be worthy of holding such a valuable treasure?"

"Now that the Nanhai Sect is at odds with Xuanyin Island, Mingyue Pavilion is staying out of the fight and staying away from the dispute. If our sect's union master obtains this fairy sword, then our Futu Sect may not be able to be promoted to one of the ten sects!"

"This person will definitely lose a lot of energy and vitality when refining the treasure. Now he has to go through tribulations. Even if he doesn't die, he will be empty. By then..."

His thoughts are changing, and his greed is gradually rising, especially when several people are combined, they are even more eyeing.

But don't want to...

"Anyone who has nothing to do with it should retreat immediately. Anyone who crosses the Thousand Miles Thunder Pool will be killed!"

A flash of sword light, wind and thunder rose up, shocking everyone and overwhelming everyone.

"South China Sea School!"

"Li Cangwu!"

"Why is he here?"

Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions became serious, and several of the powerful fusion masters even gritted their teeth with hatred. However, looking at the power of the wind and thunder sword, they still did not dare to fight with it, so they could only suppress their resentment and refuse to retreat.

Also at the same time...

"Boom!"

There was a tremor in the sky, thunder suddenly fell, and from the Nine Palaces Bagua Furnace, two sword lights spurted out, facing the thunder in the sky.
