Seeking Immortality

Following the old beggar, he quickly flew to the house where the weapon masters lived and refined weapons. It was still dirty, messy and noisy.

Entering the deepest house with the largest area, he saw more than ten weapon masters staring at a cauldron in the courtyard with nervous expressions, as if the weapon refining had reached a critical moment.

The old beggar turned his head and rolled his eyes at Xu Qingfan, as if complaining that Xu Qingfan had delayed his time, and then walked quickly to a monk with a gray beard and a tattered Taoist robe, and whispered: "What's going on?"

The monk replied: "The time is just right, have you brought the people?"

The old beggar nodded and said: "I have brought them."

As he said that, the old beggar waved his hand at Xu Qingfan, asked Xu Qingfan to walk to the cauldron, and then said to Xu Qingfan: "Stretch out your hand."

Xu Qingfan stretched out a hand, frowned and asked: "What's wrong? What do you want me to do?"

The old beggar handed Xu Qingfan a crystal-clear knife, then pointed to a small hole on the "cauldron" and said, "Do you see that small hole? Use this knife to cut a wound on your body, and then drip blood into the small hole. I will tell you when there is enough blood."

Xu Qingfan frowned slightly and asked, "Blood Refining Technique?"

The Blood Refining Technique integrates the blood of the immortal cultivator into the magic weapon, so that the immortal cultivator and the magic weapon have a sense of blood fusion, which not only makes the magic weapon more flexible, but also greatly reduces the consumption of spiritual energy.

However, the only problem is that the "Blood Refining Technique" is an evil way of refining magic weapons. When refining magic weapons, not only the blood of the immortal cultivator is needed, but also some of the immortal cultivator's soul is needed to be integrated into the magic weapon.

Hearing that Xu Qingfan's words seemed to be reproachful, the old beggar rolled his eyes. He said coldly: "Blood refining is also a weapon refining method. In the eyes of us weapon refiners, there is no distinction between good and evil in weapon refining."

Hearing the words of the old beggar, other weapon refining masters nodded one after another. They looked like they agreed with him.

Seeing that Xu Qingfan's brows were still furrowed, the old beggar helplessly explained: "The weapon is integrated with a monk from the Eight Desolate Palace who has done many evil things. Don't worry. Stop whining. Quickly drip blood into the hole. Time is almost up."

The implication is that the souls of evil monks are inferior.

Xu Qingfan shook his head subconsciously. He is now in contact with evil ways and demons a little too much. The magic weapon techniques all have a bit of evil flavor. And his body has been transformed by the evil method of Zhangxu Holy Land and the "Beast Crazy Energy" successively. He is a genius who has been possessed by demons. So Xu Qingfan has subconsciously kept a distance from these evil things over the years. But he didn't expect it. The old beggar actually acted on his own.

However, things had come to this point. Xu Qingfan had no other choice. So he followed the old beggar's instructions. He walked to the cauldron with spiritual light. He cut his wrist with a knife. Blood immediately flowed out. It kept flowing into the cauldron.

After flowing for about an incense stick of time, Xu Qingfan suspected that his blood seemed to have flowed into the cauldron. His face began to turn pale and almost transparent. The old beggar finally said, "Enough."

Xu Qingfan retracted his bleeding wrist, and the two energies of life and death in his body circulated. The wound on his wrist healed instantly.

"Begin."

The old beggar suddenly shouted.

Xu Qingfan retreated to the side and saw the old beggar and the more than ten weapon refining masters standing around the cauldron in the positions of the eight trigrams and four images. The fingers in their hands kept pinching. Under their control, the cauldron suddenly started to spin quickly, and the spiritual light burst out, dazzling and dared not let people look directly at it. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was gathering towards the cauldron.

After about an hour, the magic weapon was finally successfully refined.

There was a roar. The cauldron suddenly opened, and an ancient bell with aura and rich aura came out of the cauldron, floating quietly three feet above the cauldron. It looked exactly like Xu Qingfan's previously destroyed defensive treasure - the Five Spirits Bell.

However, at this time, the "Five Spirits Bell" had not only been refined, but also looked smaller than before, with a more blood-rusty color. It was a bit more quaint. It was also a bit more evil.

Looking at the "Five Spirits Bell" floating in the air, Xu Qingfan suddenly had an unprecedented feeling of blood fusion with the "Five Spirits Bell". This was a feeling that Xu Qingfan had never had since he got the "Five Spirits Bell".

Xu Qingfan's heart moved, and he saw the "Five Spirits Bell" suddenly turned into a colorful aura, flashed in front of Xu Qingfan quickly, and fell into Xu Qingfan's hands.

Although there was a bit of evil in it, Xu Qingfan felt like he couldn't let it go as he looked at the "Five Spirit Bell" in his hand which had become extremely small.

Seeing Xu Qingfan's expression full of satisfaction, the old beggar explained proudly: "The previous Five Spirits Bell was actually a magic weapon that failed to be refined. Its refining principle is very different from the magic weapon, and it is different from your own. Your abilities and cultivation levels are inconsistent, so when you use it, not only do you feel like you are tied up, but the consumption of spiritual energy is far beyond your ability to bear it. In this way, you have a defensive treasure, but you can't use it every time. It lasted too long. This time, although the Five Spirit Bell fell into pieces, it was still an opportunity. During the refining, I integrated part of the Snow Jade Spirit Turtle's shell into it and used this opportunity to reshape it. After listening to the Five Spirit Bell, not only did the defensive power increase again, but because the various materials used to refine it were extremely precious, the grade easily reached the high level of Heaven Level. Although the grade increased But it is more convenient for you to use, and the consumption of spiritual energy is greatly reduced, making it truly useful to you. "

Xu Qingfan nodded slightly in agreement. The "Five Spirit Bell" in his hand sensed the majestic but obscure spiritual energy fluctuations. It had indeed reached the advanced level of heaven. This was already the limit of the level of the magical weapon. It was improved in one breath from before. As many as three levels. But the spiritual energy is greatly reduced when used. The previous defect of being unable to use for a long time due to the huge consumption of spiritual energy was no longer seen, and I couldn't help but feel even more happy. In this way, in the future catastrophe, Xu Qingfan's chances of saving his life would undoubtedly be much greater.

But at this moment, a weird-looking weapon-refining expert standing next to the old beggar, who like Xu Qingfan was admiring the "Five Spirit Bells" after the successful refining, suddenly interjected: "That's true. , after all, the Five Spirit Bell was originally a magic weapon. When we discussed the pros and cons of reshaping it, the shortcomings of too much spiritual energy consumption and difficulty in controlling it could not be improved. It happened that we had obtained an incomplete blood refining method before. It was suggested that the blood refining method should be used to improve it when reshaping it. Sure enough, although it was the first time it was used and the weapon refining method was somewhat incomplete, it was still successful in the end with our weapon refining ability."

As the weapon refining master finished speaking, the faces of the other refining masters on the field showed a look of triumph. Xu Qingfan, who was about to say a word of thanks, couldn't help but choked and coughed. After two noises to cover it up, I originally thought that the old beggar and a group of masters of weapon refining were doing their best and painstaking efforts to refine the magic weapon for him. After working on it for a long time, in the end, the "Five Spirit Bell" was used as an experiment again.

However, Xu Qingfan had nothing to say, which he had expected. The nature of the old beggar and these masters of weapon refining is like this. Once they have good materials in their hands, they will have too many new ideas in their minds and can't help but add these ideas to the weapon refining. There is a danger of failure in refining, but at the same time, once the refining is successful, the magic weapon obtained is far stronger than the magic weapon refined by well-behaved weapon refining masters.

"Thank you everyone."

After Xu Qingfan put the "Five Spirit Bells" in his sleeves, he hesitated for half the price, and finally bowed to a group of masters of weapon refining and said.

The old beggar shook his head. Said: "You don't need to thank us. You gave us so many top-quality materials for testing and training. In fact, we should be the ones thanking you."

All the masters of weapon refining showed expressions of deep understanding on their faces. They kept bowing to Xu Qingfan and thanking him. Xu Qingfan, who was treated as a test subject, had expressions of laughter and tears on his face.

After thanking him, the old beggar seemed to have handed over several other successfully refined magic weapons to Xu Qingfan. They are the "Rainbow Ruler" that has become much larger, two snow-white robes, the "ground mirror" that has become gleaming gold, a silver rope, and a snow-white jade pendant.

"According to your request, the nineteen claws of the Crazy Ice and Snow Leopard were integrated into the Rainbow Ruler. Although five of them were wasted because I wanted to test some new ideas, overall the refining process went smoothly. After the refinement is successful, the original ability of "Rainbow Ruler" to separate and combine virtual and real changes has been increased by more than five times, and it has almost changed from being good at transformation to being good at attack power.

Xu Qingfan took the "rainbow ruler" thrown by the old beggar. After wiping and observing for a moment, as the old beggar said, the attack power of "Rainbow Ruler" has greatly increased, and its rank has also been upgraded from high earth level to intermediate heaven level.

"What new ideas did you test in this rainbow ruler?"

Xu Qingfan asked curiously.

The old beggar shook his head in annoyance, with an unbearable expression on his face, and said: "After we refined the fifth claw of the Crazy Ice and Snow Leopard, we finally found that the new idea was theoretically wrong, so the refining There are no major changes to this magic weapon, and there are only 17 minor changes, which can only be regarded as simply incorporating new materials. "

After hearing the old beggar's words, Xu Qingfan's expression was dull for a moment. Thinking of the preciousness of the "Crazy Ice and Snow Leopard" minions, which were used to prove a useless theory, his heart couldn't help but twitch, and then he secretly made up his mind. , it’s better not to ask this kind of question again in the future, so as not to become unstable due to distress and then go crazy.

"These two are Tianyu robes. It is more troublesome to refine this robe than to reshape the Five Spirits Bell. We refined it seven times before we succeeded. The bad news is that after refining the large piece of Blizzard Demon Bear fur you gave me into these two robes, there was no scrap left, because more than half of it was wasted in the previous experiments. But the good news is that when we refined these two Tianyu robes, we finally successfully proved the theory that the Hundred Refining Technique can also be used for non-offensive magic tools. The Tianyu robe was originally just a mid-level magic weapon of the Heavenly Rank, but we combined eight Tianyu robes into two, which greatly increased the immunity of the Taoist law and the ability to restrain the inner demon of the Tianyu robe, making it the only high-level magic weapon of the Heavenly Rank besides the Five Spirits Bell."

After receiving the two "Tianyu robes" in his hands, Xu Qingfan only felt a sense of coolness instantly spread throughout his body, feeling extremely comfortable. He nodded with satisfaction, pretending not to hear the fact that half of the materials were wasted, silently put the two robes into his sleeves, and then took the "Earth Mirror" thrown by the old beggar.

Looking down, I found that the "ground mirror" had changed greatly. The original Puhua had turned into a golden glow, with various spirit beasts carved on the four sides, which made it look much better.

"Your Earth Mirror was originally a treasure used for exploration and transmission of phantoms. Its disadvantage is that it is easily deceived by illusions. After adding the eyes of the Wind-Calling Eagle, not only has the scope of exploration increased greatly, but it also has the function of breaking illusions, and can even see through some formations below the intermediate level. The grade has also reached the intermediate heavenly level. In this way, the Earth Mirror in your hand is not much worse than Jiuhua's treasured Heavenly Mirror."

"This silver rope is called the Soul Binding Rope. It is a heavenly intermediate magic weapon. It is made from the long tendons of the Xuanbing Beast. It can be used to bind and trap opponents. It is particularly effective for those who are below the Jindan stage, but the disadvantage is that it is only suitable for dealing with a single cultivator. So we modified it a little. Although it wasted a little material, it gave this Soul Binding Rope a change of the Heavenly Net. When it is used, it can form a net by itself and can deal with multiple enemies at the same time."

"This is the Xuanbing Beast. The Ice Spirit Jade Pendant made from the inner elixir of the ice beast, although it is of no grade and no rank, does not belong to the category of magic tools, but its preciousness is no less than that of ordinary Heavenly Grade magic tools. It can be used to speed up the absorption of spiritual energy, restrain the inner demon, and has some characteristics of immunity to the attacks of the Five Elements. Together with the Tianyu robe, the effect is particularly obvious. However, we are not good at refining things like jade pendants, so we did not add any new ideas. "

When Xu Qingfan left the old beggar's room, he had already put on the "Tianyu robe" and wore the "Ice Spirit Jade Pendant" around his waist, and his heart was full of satisfaction. Although a whole pile of materials like a small mountain were wasted by the old beggar and others, the magic tools refined were far beyond Xu Qingfan's expectations. Two Heavenly Grade high-level magic tools, three Heavenly Grade intermediate magic tools, and an "Ice Spirit Jade Pendant" whose value is not less than that of Heavenly Grade low-level magic tools. You must know that Xu Qingfan did not even have a Heavenly Grade magic tool before.

After all the previous visits, Xu Qingfan had already given away all the magic weapon materials he had accumulated over the years. However, the value of these six magic weapons made Xu Qingfan no longer feel distressed. With these magic weapons, Xu Qingfan really looked down on the things he had given away before.

However, after Xu Qingfan left the old beggar's room, he did not return to his own courtyard, but flew towards a row of houses near the foot of "Ronghua Mountain", where the Righteous Alliance arranged a courtyard for Jin Qinghan.
