King of the Fairy City

Ye Mo returned to the cabin bedroom, entered the ancient painting, and handed the blueprint of the black iron spirit sword that he had finally bought to the little fox.

The little fox was very surprised.

"With this blueprint of the black iron spirit sword, I can refine it quickly, hehe!"

Ali took the blueprint and left Ye Mo, the master, aside, and devoted herself to studying how to refine the black iron spirit sword.

Ye Mo watched for a while, and quietly left the ancient painting without disturbing Ali.

After practicing the water arrow technique in the cabin for half an hour, Ye Mo entered the ancient painting again to see the progress of the weapon refining.

However, Ali still held the weapon refining blueprint and read it with relish.

After repeating this several times, Ye Mo's somewhat anxious mood gradually calmed down.

"Don't be anxious, weapon refining is not something that can be done overnight. If I were to refine the sword myself, it would probably take several months or even one or two years to get started with weapon refining and become a weapon refining apprentice. Ali can refine weapons, but it will take some time to figure it out."

Ye Mo began to calm down and practice the water arrow technique again. I plan to enter Guhua Fairy Village once a day to check on Ah Li's progress in refining.

After a night, at dawn the next day.

Ye Mo entered Guhua Refining Workshop again.

"Master, I have refined a black iron sword!"

Ah Li held up a black sword like a treasure.

"So fast! The black iron sword was refined in one night! I once asked the apprentices of Donglai Fairy Village. Those apprentices have to learn for at least a year, and the yield rate is only about 20%. If those apprentices knew that Ah Li could refine a black iron sword in one day, they would definitely praise you as a genius."

Ye Mo was overjoyed and quickly took the black sword.

He did not exaggerate. The boys of Donglai Fairy Village who refine weapons usually have to endure for several years to become apprentices. And it is also very long for apprentices to become refiners. Five or ten years is normal.

"Hehe! Thank you for the compliment, Master!"

The little fox looked proud.

Ye Mo carefully examined the sword and found two hair-like fine lines. He could not help but touch it and said to the little fox, "However, there are two very fine cracks on the sword of this black iron spirit sword. Will this affect its durability?"

"Ah, it was discovered by the master. This is actually just a low-quality black iron spirit sword! When I was refining the weapon last night, I accidentally didn't control the temperature well, and there were two small cracks. The quality has dropped a lot and cannot meet the requirements of the refining drawings.

The refining drawings say that for every additional hair-like crack, the durability of the spirit sword will drop by 10%. Any cracks are unqualified and inferior products."

Ali stuck out her tongue and laughed.

Ye Mo nodded, secretly thinking whether to sell this low-quality black iron sword at a low price.

"But it doesn't matter. I will put it back into the furnace for refining."

Ali has taken the low-quality black iron sword and thrown it back into the furnace for remaking.

"Uh, inferior black iron swords can be recycled!"

Ye Mo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized. He thought that this inferior spiritual sword could not be sold at a high price, and he still regretted wasting the materials in his heart.

"Refining materials can generally be recycled. Not only this black iron sword, but also some other abandoned spiritual weapons, as long as the owner takes them back, they can be decomposed into useful materials and refined again."

Ali continued while adding wood to the furnace, "Refining is different from refining pills. If the pills are ruined, the materials are useless and cannot be recycled."

"Yes!"

Ye Mo nodded and remembered it in his heart.

..

Ali's intelligence is extremely high, and her talent in refining can be described as a genius.

Ye Mo admired her very much. At least if he refined the weapon himself, he would never reach the level of Ali.

The second black iron sword refined by Ali has fully met the standards and become a qualified first-level black iron spiritual sword. The inferior rate is very low, only two or three out of ten are inferior.

After a few days, Ye Mo's inventory of black iron swords in the ancient painting gradually increased.

"Ali, when can you refine the second-level black iron sword?"

"The difficulty of refining the second-level black iron sword is much higher than the first-level! The yield rate of my first-level black iron sword is about 80%. If I refine the second-level black iron sword now, I am afraid that the yield rate will only be about 20% to 30%, and a large number of them will be re-refined, which will delay time!"

Ali scratched his head a little annoyed and said, "When I become more proficient in refining, I will soon be able to make a second-level spiritual sword. Master, please wait!"

Ali was busy refining.

After Ye Mo learned about it, he did not disturb her. It takes a long time to improve the skill of refining.

He brought one or two black iron spiritual swords and sold them at the night market in Donglaixian Village to earn spiritual stones for cultivation.

Compared with the five-element spiritual swords with five elements, Ye Mo's black iron spiritual sword is naturally a very low-end spiritual weapon.

However, no matter how low-end it is, as long as the price is low enough, it will attract the attention of other poor cultivators. The price of a first-level five-element spirit sword on the market is one hundred spirit stones, and the price of a first-level black iron spirit sword is twelve or thirteen spirit stones.

After dark every day, Ye Mo sells black iron swords at the night market in the fairy village at the price of ten spirit stones each, selling them to those casual cultivators who are short of money but need spirit swords.

As for the buyer's question about the origin of the spirit sword, Ye Mo claimed that it was a few pieces of scattered goods brought by a friend on a sea ship, just to make a little money.

This kind of small-scale reselling on the street stalls is very normal in all the fairy villages in the East China Sea. There are even some low-level cultivators who specialize in running business, reselling goods between various fairy villages, buying low and selling high to make a profit. As long as the goods are not particularly sensitive, they will not attract attention.

Ye Mo's business is basically a no-cost business, which can be said to be zero cost.

After spending more than ten days setting up a street stall, Ye Mo finally accumulated more than a hundred spiritual stones. He estimated that this spiritual stone should be enough to buy a slightly better book of immortal cultivation techniques.

Ye Mo had gone to the store to see that the most rubbish technique required more than ten spirit stones, while the slightly better techniques all started at a hundred spirit stones.

That night, Ye Mo took more than a hundred spiritual stones he had earned and hurried to a shop in Donglaixian Village that sold various secrets.

How can one talk about cultivating immortality without the secret manual of Kung Fu? !

Ye Mo was so poor that he couldn't afford the secret book, and his cultivation level had been stuck at the first level of Qi training stage where he had just broken through the soul, without making any progress.

Now that I have the spiritual stone in hand, of course I must quickly buy the secret book of cultivating immortality. If you delay for one day, you will delay your cultivation.

This secret shop is not big.

When Ye Mo went in, there were several monks shopping.

"Fellow Taoist, what do you need? Our store has all kinds of cultivation techniques, runes and seals. It is the best store in the fairy village."

A martial artist in his twenties quickly ran over to ask enthusiastically.

Ye Mo rolled his eyes after hearing this. There were only two or three secret shops in Donglaixian Village. This house is the largest in the village, so naturally it is the best.

"I want to buy a training method!"

Ye Mo glanced at the container and saw the classification of exercises.

"Which series of secrets does the Immortal Master need?"

the guy asked.

"Which series?...I really don't know this."

Ye Mo was stunned.

He had read in ancient books that monks had different spiritual root systems, but he did not know his own spiritual root.

"Ah, Master Immortal has just started practicing? It's best to ask the shopkeeper to check your spiritual roots for you first!"

The guy reacted immediately, said with a smile, and led Ye Mo inside.

"Shopkeeper, this newly promoted Immortal Master wants to buy some training techniques."

The waiter led Ye Mo to an old man in his sixties and said respectfully.

The old shopkeeper was sitting behind the counter, holding a shabby ancient book. He was fascinated by the book. When he heard the waiter's voice, he slowly put the book down and looked at Ye Mo carefully.

“Fellow Taoist, you don’t know which series of cultivation techniques to buy?”

The old shopkeeper took a sip of tea and asked calmly.

"I have just become a monk and don't understand much. Could you please introduce me to me, fellow Taoist?"

Ye Mo shook his head and said. He doesn't know what skills to buy, he is just a pure newcomer.

"In this case, I will tell you that there are nine categories of immortal cultivation techniques according to the spiritual root attributes. The spiritual root attributes can be divided into metal, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, and darkness. This is The big five elements and the small three are strange and dark.

Each attribute corresponds to a type of skills, among which the eight series are the skills of my human race monks. The dark system is a ghost clan skill, so I won’t mention it.

Of course, there are also immortal cultivation techniques that have no attribute requirements and can be practiced by anyone.

Taoist friends must know about spiritual roots. When choosing a technique, you must first know the attributes of your spiritual roots. Otherwise, if you choose a fire attribute technique, but your fire spirit root is very low, even if you can practice it, the speed will be extremely slow, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

Fellow Taoist, have you ever tested your own spiritual root attributes before? "

The old shopkeeper stroked his beard and said calmly.

"No!"

Ye Mo shook his head.

Regarding the statement about spiritual roots, he had read it in "Biography of Immortal Cultivation".

The only thing he was sure of was that he had water-attribute spiritual roots because he could practice and use water archery.

"Then I will help you test your spiritual roots first. As long as you Taoist friends purchase the exercises in our store, I will test your spiritual roots for free, without charge."

The old shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Brother Dao, to help me test it!"

Ye Mo nodded. Regardless of whether he wanted the flower spirit stone or not, he had to test it, otherwise he would be in the dark and would not know what his situation was.

Ye Mo followed the old shopkeeper to a small cubicle at the back of the store.

The old shopkeeper took out a purple-black stone with a faint golden light.

"This is the magic stone for measuring spiritual roots. If you hold it tightly and pour magic power into it, you can see the condition of your spiritual roots."

The old shopkeeper handed the Dharma Stone into Ye Mo's hand and said.

Ye Mo took it nervously, took a deep breath, and then began to concentrate on injecting mana.

After injecting mana, this magic stone quickly emitted eight colors of light, which was very brilliant and dazzling.

"Eight~, eight colors?"

The old shopkeeper was obviously stunned for a moment.

He sighed slightly, shook his head slightly, and looked at Ye Mo with a bit of pity.

"Fellow Taoist, you have eight spiritual roots, and you have all the five elements, five elements, and three wonders. Such complete spiritual roots are quite rare in the world of immortality!

Of course, the more spiritual roots there are, each spiritual root will naturally not be too strong. In terms of gloss intensity, each one is about ten to fifteen points. The total spiritual root potential points are very high, but they are too scattered. What a pity! "

The old shopkeeper clicked his tongue in surprise.

Ye Mo's face turned a little ugly.

He knew exactly what this meant.

The more spiritual roots a monk has, the better, but the purer they are, the easier it is to cultivate. The better a certain spiritual root is, the brighter the corresponding color will be when tested.

His eight spiritual roots are basically the same and can be described as mediocre.

Ye Mo felt deeply powerless. The spiritual root was brought from the mother's womb and could not be changed by the day after tomorrow.

No matter, just be mediocre!

I was originally just a common warrior, but now that I have cultivated my soul and become an immortal cultivator, I have to go all out.

No matter how mediocre your qualifications are, you still need to practice and improve.

I still have the ancient paintings. With the help of the ancient paintings, I will definitely not be worse than other cultivators with higher talents.

After a brief loss, Ye Mo encouraged himself in his heart and clenched his fists secretly.
