Everlasting

"Uncle is overly praised."

"With this natal sword, Uncle Qinghao's future path will be smoother, and I will be satisfied."

Chen Nianzhi smiled and said, with the natal immortal sword, Chen Qinghao's future will be much brighter. I am afraid that his strength is top-notch among the same level of foundation building.

After refining the Immortal Sword of Life, the third elder left Pingyang City on the same day. There were many things in Qingyuan Mountain, as well as the guarding work in Lingxing Mountain, which he had to arrange.

Chen Nianzhi stayed behind. Although he had refined the third elder's natal sword, there was still one very important thing that he had not done.

That is to refine the formation flags. This time I bought three kilograms and four ounces of golden beard silk from the Liu family in order to refine several sets of formation flags for the six towns around Pingyang City.

"The array flag magic weapon is made from silk and needs to be woven carefully."

"And this kind of magic weapon cannot be refined directly with real fire rashly, otherwise there will be a risk of being burned by real fire."

"Just keep an eye on it."

As the old patriarch said, he personally taught Chen Nianzhi how to weave. Under the urging of his spiritual consciousness, strands of silk came together and slowly weaved into a formation flag according to special patterns.

After he successfully compiled a formation flag, he refined the five elements essence with real fire, and finally allowed the five elements essence to be integrated into it bit by bit.

After the essence of the five elements was integrated, he immediately placed fire-resistant formation patterns in the formation flag, and then began to refine the formation flag with real fire.

The formation flag magic weapon itself is very fragile, and even if it is equipped with fire-resistant formation patterns, it cannot be refined too much. The old patriarch refined the five elements of essence into the formation flag in turn, protecting it with true essence while burning the formation patterns.

After spending seven days, the old patriarch finally made the first set of formation flags.

This set of Five Elements Formation Flags consists of a total of five formation flags. Chen Changxuan burned a defensive formation on each formation flag. When the five formation flags are activated at the same time, the Five Elements City Defense Formation can be activated.

Looking at the formation flag in front of him, he said with a smile:

"This set of Five Elements Formation Flags is a second-order low-grade formation treasured by my Chen family. Because the killing formation patterns are abandoned, the defensive power of this formation is considered top-notch among the second-order low-grade formations."

"If you rely on the first-order high-grade spiritual veins, once it is activated, even mid- to late-stage foundation-building monks will need more than three hours to break through."

Chen Nianzhi took the Five Elements Formation Flag, nodded and said: "With this set of formation flags, the safety of the six formation flags outside Pingyang City can be guaranteed."

This time they wanted to refine six sets of formation flags, so the two of them did not delay. The old patriarch continued to refine them with the help of Chen Nianzhi.

More than a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Changxuan once again made four sets of formation flags. When the last set of formation flags came, the two found that there was not enough golden beard silk.

Fortunately, after killing Old Demon Zhang, the demon flag obtained was also made from second-order silk. The old patriarch dismantled the demon flag with his own hands and obtained five taels of second-order silk.

Just when the old patriarch was preparing to refine it, Chen Nianzhi's eyes moved slightly and he said, "Leave the last set to me to try."

"You come?"

Chen Changxuan was stunned for a moment, and said worriedly: "This second-level silk is extremely delicate. If it is accidentally burned, it will..."

"It doesn't matter." Chen Nianzhi said calmly: "I am somewhat sure."

Seeing this, the old patriarch handed the last set of formation flags to Chen Nianzhi.

For many days, Chen Nianzhi personally observed the old clan leader refining weapons. Chen Nianzhi assisted the old clan leader in continuously refining the formation flag. It can be said that his own understanding of weapon refining has improved by leaps and bounds.

When it was his turn to do it himself, there were not many accidents. It only took two days of effort to form the formation flag.

"The entire set of formation flags is almost perfectly woven." Chen Changxuan looked at the formation flags and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's hard to believe that this is your first time refining a second-level magic weapon."

Chen Nianzhi did not answer. For the formation flag magic weapon, integrating the five elements essence is the most troublesome task.

He integrated the Five Elements Essence step by step and continued to refine it, and continued to carve the formation patterns, and finally successfully refined this set of formation flags.

"hiss--"

Looking at the formed formation flag, the old patriarch took a deep breath and couldn't help but look at Chen Nianzhi carefully: "Your talent may be more amazing than I imagined."

"It's just that without the guidance of a famous teacher in these years, the family has buried you."

"It doesn't matter." Chen Nianzhi said calmly: "If you explore the way forward step by step, you may be able to walk more solidly and discover unique and wonderful things."

The formation of a set of array flags meant that Chen Nianzhi's weapon refining skills and array spells had entered the second level. The old patriarch felt excited and melancholy at the same time.

What's exciting is that Chen Nianzhi's understanding is so amazing, but what's sad is that comparing people to each other can sometimes really make people mad.

After a while, he took out two volumes of books and handed them to Chen Nianzhi.

"This is an ancient book on weapon refining and formations that has been passed down by the family for hundreds of years. After I reorganized it, I have integrated my understanding of these two methods into it. It should be able to give you some help."

"..."

After leaving the weapon refining room, the two went to the six towns of Pingyang one by one to arrange formations for each of these towns.

By the time all this was done, it would already be three months after everyone returned from Qingmo Mountain.

"Finally done."

The formation flags of the last town were completed, and the old patriarch breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced at Chen Nianzhi and said with a smile: "Thanks to your help from Lingtao and this battle, I feel that my accumulation is enough."

"Are you going to make a breakthrough?" Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but said with joy.

Chen Changxuan's breakthrough to the eighth level of foundation building is no small matter. Once he takes this step, the old patriarch's true energy will increase by 20%. Great power.

"Yes." Chen Changxuan nodded: "Don't go back yet. I'm going to be in seclusion to break through my cultivation in the near future. You can take charge of Pingyang City for me."

"Okay, leave this to me."

Chen Changxuan went into seclusion to break through his cultivation, while Chen Nianzhi was warming up several damaged magic weapons in Pingyang City while meditating on the Gengjin Divine Thunder.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, a powerful aura came from the spiritual spring in Pingyang City. The old patriarch finally took a step further and reached the eighth level of foundation building.

"It's done."

Chen Nianzhi showed a smile, but the old patriarch was consolidating his cultivation, so he did not disturb Chen Changxuan.

Three or five days later, before Chen Changxuan left the customs, uninvited guests arrived outside Pingyang City.

I saw a few figures cutting through the void, headed by a man in green with an extraordinary appearance. His popularity was very extraordinary, and he had a vaguely fierce and terrifying aura.

The man glanced at the protective formation of Pingyang City, his calm eyes moved slightly, and he snorted coldly.

"Where is Chen Changxuan? Come out to me."

"Not good."

Chen Nianzhi's expression suddenly changed, revealing a somewhat dignified expression.

The person who came turned out to be a monk from the Zi Mansion. Although it didn't look as sparse as the forest in Tianxu Mountain, it still had a somewhat terrifying aura.

Before he could say anything, the old patriarch broke through the barrier and stopped him, then saluted the man in green.

"Dare I ask if your senior is Senior Mo Helin of the Qingyang Sect?"
