Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Chen Yuan said without thinking: "No matter how much this Yingang Stone weighs, I will buy it all!"

Nie Ruyue smiled with satisfaction, touched the storage bag, and a fist-sized silver stone appeared out of thin air on the table, and said: "Fellow Daoist Chen, please see, this silver stone weighs ten kilograms. When I bought it, it weighed a full Forty middle-grade spiritual stones have been used, which should be enough for fellow Taoist to improve his grade."

Chen Yuan was overjoyed when he saw this heavy Yingang Stone. He immediately touched his storage bag, and twenty-five middle-grade spiritual stones appeared out of thin air on the table. He smiled and said, "Master Nie is serious about it. These spiritual stones, Please accept it.”

Nie Ruyue frowned slightly when she saw that Chen Yuan had only taken out twenty-five pieces of middle-grade spirit stones, but then he straightened them out, raised his hand and put the twenty-five pieces of middle-grade spirit stones into his storage bag, and then He raised his head slightly and looked at Chen Yuan with a smile.

She had dealt with Chen Yuan and knew that he had a reason for doing this. Although she was confused in her heart, her face remained calm, waiting for Chen Yuan to say more.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "To be honest, Master Nie, Chen only has these spiritual stones on his body. There are still nineteen spiritual stones left. I would like to use one thing to offset them."

Nie Ruyue's beautiful eyes flashed and she said with a smile: "Young Daoyou Chen is a high disciple of the Lingyun Sect, so there is definitely no shortage of treasures in his hands. However, I bought this Silver Gang Stone from our public account. The exchange for the item may be given to the pavilion." Among them, it is best to use spiritual materials for refining weapons or demonic materials for spiritual weapons. Not all treasures can be accepted. Please forgive me, fellow Taoist."

Chen Yuan said calmly: "Master Nie should be able to use this thing."

After that, he touched the storage bag, and a jade bottle appeared out of thin air on the table.

Nie Ruyue raised her eyebrows, raised her hand, took the jade bottle into her hand, opened the cork, and a strange fragrance of elixir wafted out.

She was stunned for a moment, then tilted the jade bottle over.

A black and white pill rolled out of the jade bottle and landed in Nie Ruyue's hand.

Her expression changed and she raised her head to look at Chen Yuan: "Is this... the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Chen Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, Chen wants to use this Foundation Establishment Pill to trade for nineteen medium-grade spiritual stones in exchange for this Silver Gang Stone. I wonder what Master Nie wants to do?"

A hint of joy flashed across Nie Ruyue's face, but she quickly calmed down and asked, "Do you really want to do this, Fellow Daoist Chen?"

Chen Yuan said: "Chen no longer has the spirit stone on his body, but this elixir is still of some value. Could it be that Mr. Nie doesn't want to take it?"

Nie Ruyue shook her head gently: "Of course not. The Foundation Building Pill is so precious. Fellow Daoist Chen wants to use this pill to offset it, but I can't get it."

Foundation-building pills are necessary for foundation-building, and most of them are controlled by the six major sects. Although the Nie family in Xiangzhou grows three kinds of spiritual herbs, Yin-Yang Zhi, Qixingcao, and Angelica dahurica, they do not have large-scale spiritual veins to ripen them, and the output is extremely limited. Unable to supply the Qi Refining disciples in the clan, they are extremely thirsty for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

She paused for a moment and then said: "It's just that the value of the Foundation Establishment Pill is far more than nineteen spiritual stones, and one pill is hard to find. With this pill being used to offset the spiritual stones, I got a big advantage... Well, the Foundation Establishment Pill is here The market price is thirty pieces of spiritual stone, how about I supply fellow Taoist eleven more medium-grade spiritual stones?"

When Chen Yuan heard this, his face showed surprise: "In the past, even if a Foundation Establishment Pill was put at auction, it could only sell for 25 medium-grade spiritual stones at most, but now it can be sold for such a high price?"

Nie Ruyue sighed: "Fellow Taoists should know that the demonic cultivators have been raging recently, causing trouble in all directions and robbing loose cultivators. Even many cultivator families have been wiped out. There are even rumors that the demonic cultivators are going to invade Qi. Low-level monks People were in panic, some fled into the mountains, some fled to neighboring countries, and some wanted to improve their cultivation. To cope with this disaster, the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill also increased. Two years ago, the noble sect held an auction, and the last one was sold out. The Foundation Establishment Pill even sold for a sky-high price of forty-three pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones!”

Chen Yuan's face condensed slightly: "Chen had just come out of seclusion not long ago. He only knew that the evil problem was getting worse, but he didn't know that the situation had become so serious. No wonder I came to Lingyunfang City this time and saw only a few monks on the street, and there were many The store is closed."

Nie Ruyue said: "To be honest, the elders of my clan have discussed several times to close this pavilion and withdraw manpower to the clan to deal with the devil. If Chen Daoyou comes out of seclusion later, this silver gang stone, I’m afraid I won’t be able to meet my fellow Taoists.”

Chen Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this: "Is your pavilion going to be closed?"

Nie Ruyue shook her head and said: "Even if this pavilion is closed, it will take a few years. Although the number of foundation-building casual cultivators in Lingyunfang City has decreased a lot, your sect and many immortal cultivating families all need spiritual weapons and magic weapons. There are still a few spiritual weapons in the pavilion that are being refined, and they can only be closed after they are delivered."

Chen Yuan asked: "I wonder if your master Nie is free now?"

Nie Ruyue said with a smile: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Chen, in order to refine those spiritual weapons as soon as possible, I have invited two masters of weapon refining from the clan to come to Lingyunfang City to take charge. There are enough manpower, and the third uncle has time to help Fellow Daoist improve his skills." "Artifact level."

Chen Yuan felt relieved: "Then I'll leave this matter to Master Nie. Master Nie doesn't have to give Chen any more spiritual stones. The eleven middle-grade spiritual stones will be regarded as my deposit. After the magic weapon is upgraded, Chen Then add the remaining spirit stones."

Nie Ruyue nodded slightly: "That's fine. It's just that I don't know how to refine weapons. The matter of upgrading the magic weapon still needs to be discussed by Chen Daoyou and the third uncle. But there is one thing that I need to tell my friend. If this magic weapon is If the weapon fails to be upgraded, it will be destroyed together with the spiritual materials. This pavilion will not compensate you. Can fellow Taoists accept it?"

Chen Yuan said: "Chen knows the rules. Even if he fails, he will not cause trouble for your pavilion."

Nie Ruyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, my third uncle is very good at refining weapons. He ranks first among the masters of refining weapons in my clan. The possibility of failure is very low... Calculating the time, my third uncle should have condensed the weapon by now and is looking after the refining furnace. Please follow me."

She stood up and bowed, then turned and walked out of the quiet room. Chen Yuan collected the silver stone on the table, stood up and followed her. The introduction of refining weapons he saw in the classics emerged in his mind.

Refining weapons is different from refining pills. Refining pills often produces ten pills from one furnace. As long as one furnace of pills is successfully refined, and then the same kind of pills are refined again, even if the pill condensation fails, it will not be destroyed. You can always refine a few pills.

But refining weapons can only produce one spiritual weapon. If it fails, it will be destroyed.

Moreover, alchemy requires the integration of the medicinal power contained in several spiritual medicines. If there is a slight imbalance, all previous efforts will be wasted. Spiritual medicines are extremely fragile, so the alchemist needs to concentrate and not be distracted for a moment.

However, the spiritual materials used for refining contain a lot of impurities, which need to be calcined with true fire to force out the essence.

After that, the refiner needs to blend the refined spiritual materials and calcine them with true fire before the device can be condensed into shape.

During this period, the refiner only needs to take care of it a little, and there is still spare energy to do other things.

The higher the grade of the spiritual material, the longer the refining time and the time to condense the device.

If it is a top-grade spiritual weapon, it will take at least two years from the start of the furnace to the final success.

But the refiner only has less than a month, so he needs to concentrate and control the true fire. The rest of the time, let the true fire burn by itself.

The two came to the third floor and stopped outside the room where Chen Yuan saw the old man in hemp clothes before.

Nie Ruyue raised her hand and injected a trace of true energy into the door of the room. Her lips moved slightly and she said a few words silently.

After a while, the restrictions on the door slowly dissipated and it opened gently. An old voice came from inside: "Come in."

Chen Yuan followed Nie Ruyue and walked into the room. He saw an old man in hemp clothes sitting in front of a three-foot-high refining furnace, meditating with his eyes closed.

Under the refining furnace, there was a huge array plate of seven feet in size. Nine medium-grade spirit stones were placed in the grooves around it. In the middle, a white flame was burning. The temperature in the room was extremely high and the heat was rolling.

The old man in hemp clothes turned his head and looked over, looking Chen Yuan up and down, frowning and saying: "Ruyue, what's the matter? Can't you wait until I refine this spiritual weapon?"

Nie Ruyue bowed and said respectfully: "Third uncle, Chen Daoyou who asked you to identify the magic weapon last time is here. He bought the silver Gang stone from his niece's granddaughter and wants you to help him improve the grade of the magic weapon."

The old man in hemp clothes was startled, and then suddenly said: "It's you, bring the magic weapon and the silver Gang stone here."

As he said, he raised his right hand and waved to Chen Yuan twice.

Seeing this, Nie Ruyue sent a voice message to Chen Yuan: "Daoyou Chen, my third uncle only recognizes spiritual weapons and not people, and lacks patience when refining weapons. Please forgive me."

Chen Yuan replied: "No problem."

At the same time, he stroked the storage bag, took out the silver Gang stone and the silver Gang sword, and raised his hand to give them to the old man in hemp clothes.

People who delve into this kind of thing and are almost obsessed with it often have strange tempers, but Chen Yuan doesn't care. As long as the old man in hemp clothes can help him improve the grade of his magic weapon, everything will be fine.

The Silver Gang Stone and the Silver Gang Sword slowly flew in front of the old man in hemp clothes and stopped.

The old man in hemp clothes just glanced at it and said, "Although your sword refining technique is crude, it is made of silver stone, which saves a lot of trouble. You only need to integrate this silver stone into it, and then forge it with real fire for two years, it can be upgraded to a top-grade sword. You can go now."

Chen Yuan was stunned: "Top-grade sword?"

The old man in hemp clothes said impatiently: "Yes, this silver stone is so heavy, plus some of it is already contained in your sword, it is enough to refine it into a top-grade sword. Why, you don't want to?"

Chen Yuan hurriedly shook his head: "Of course not..."

The old man in hemp clothes frowned: "Then why are you still here? I want to open another furnace, don't waste time!"

He stroked the storage bag, took out the second seven-foot-sized array plate and a four-foot-high refining furnace, put them beside him, and glared at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan said no more, bowed, and left the room with Nie Ruyue.

Bang!

The door closed behind them, and the forbidden light screen reappeared.

Nie Ruyue looked apologetic and said softly: "Fellow Daoist Chen, I'm sorry that my third uncle has always been like this."

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "As long as the Silver Gang Sword can be upgraded to a top-grade spiritual weapon, it doesn't matter if your uncle scolds me. I just don't know how many spiritual stones are needed to upgrade a top-grade magic weapon to a top-grade spiritual weapon?"

Nie Ruyue pondered for a moment and said: "The spiritual materials for this top-grade spiritual weapon are provided by Fellow Daoist Chen. Only thirty medium-grade spiritual stones are needed. Fellow Daoist has already paid eleven spiritual stones in advance with the foundation-building pill, and another nineteen spiritual stones are required."

Chen Yuan bowed and said: "Chen has something else to do, so I'll take my leave now. I will give you all the spiritual stones when I come back next time."

Nie Ruyue returned the greeting and said: "Fellow Daoist Chen, take care."

Chen Yuan left Baoguang Pavilion and did not stay any longer. He walked out of Lingyun Market, drove the Duyun Boat, and flew south.
