Chapter 180 Refining Sword Stone and Five Elements Sword Formation
"Ling'er, this spiritual wine costs ten low-grade spiritual stones for one jar?"
At noon, while eating, Li Ru pointed at the spiritual wine she bought in the morning and said with some surprise.
In the morning, Zhou Ling took his parents for a walk around the nearby streets and bought some spiritual food at a market.
Zhou Shan also wanted to try the taste of Qingyun Fairy City's spiritual wine, so he bought a small jar.
Although the price of this jar of spiritual wine is not low, Li Ru and his wife felt that it was too ordinary.
It was much worse than the spiritual wine they brewed with two low-grade spiritual stones.
Zhou Ling picked up the ceramic bowl, poured half a bowl, took a sip, and indeed felt that the fire was not as good as the spiritual wine brewed by his mother.
I couldn't help but smile and said, "Mom, Qingyun Fairy City has high prices. The winemaker may have used inferior spiritual rice to save costs."
Li Ru shook her head, "I also asked about the price of spiritual rice. Even if it is brewed with high-quality black rice, the cost is only two low-grade spiritual stones at most."
"This profit is really amazing!" Zhou Shan was also surprised.
"Dad, this is not normal. The rent in Qingyun Fairy City is so high." Zhou Ling said.
After all, in addition to the cost of materials, labor costs and site costs must also be taken into account. It must be much higher than Lingxia Fairy City.
"Ling'er, Mom plans to rent a small stall and continue to brew and sell."
"The spiritual wine we brew must be better than this!"
Li Ru thought about it and discussed with Zhou Ling.
After a walk in the morning, the prosperity of Qingyun Fairy City is not comparable to Lingxia Fairy City at all.
The price is two or three times higher.
Considering that they will have to survive in Qingyun Fairy City for a long time, she doesn't want the two of them to become a burden to her son.
After all, the cost of cultivation here is too high, and the son also needs to prepare for foundation building, buy foundation building pills and foundation building spiritual objects, which is also a lot of money.
So they must find a way to survive.
And now what they are best at is undoubtedly brewing wine!
Hearing this, Zhou Ling nodded and smiled, "Dad, Mom, you decide on this matter."
"However, you still have to focus on cultivation!"
"In addition, don't worry about the foundation building pills, I will find a way!"
Although he hopes that his parents will focus on cultivation, he also knows in his heart that they may not be able to stay idle for a while.
Brewing wine and selling it, having something to do, earning some spiritual stones, is not bad!
However, the original brewing furnace is left in the wine shop, so a new brewing furnace must be built.
But this is not a problem for Zhou Ling.
The Taoist Academy will start school tomorrow, and I will find Xu Qiang to build a brewing furnace and draw the second-level inscription myself.
Afterwards, Zhou Ling discussed the situation of renting a store with his parents.
······.
The next day, after listening to the instructor's lecture in the Taoist temple, Zhou Ling went to Xu Qiang's workshop.
In the new year, the Taoist temple's tutorials tend to be more practical and less theoretical.
So it doesn't matter whether you go to the Taoist temple or not.
Of course, if there are any problems in the practice process, you still have to ask the instructor, so that you can master it faster.
After arriving at the workshop, Zhou Ling directly told Xu Qiang that he wanted to build a second-level brewing furnace.
After some discussion, this matter was settled.
Then, Zhou Ling asked about some matters related to making swords.
It was learned that it would be expensive to make five five-element swords.
Moreover, his plan was a second-level medium-grade sword, but Xu Qiang could only make a second-level low-grade tool now.
Zhou Ling thought about it and decided to go to Tiangongsi to find a task and completely refine the sword.
This is more cost-effective.
Not only does it save money on materials, but it can also complete the tasks of Tiangongsi.
The quality is also more guaranteed!
After lunch, Zhou Ling left the Taoist temple and went to Tiangongsi.
Although Zhou Ling said he was a deacon of the Tiangong Division, the deacons of the Tiangong Division were divided into regular and regular ones.
Zhou Ling was still a regular deacon because he was still practicing Qi cultivation.
Being a regular deacon was relatively flexible and free. As long as he completed the monthly task assessment of the Tiangong Division, he did not need to report to the Tiangong Division.
After arriving at the Office, Zhou Ling looked for a while.
There were also many tasks for refining spirit swords.
Soon, Zhou Ling found two tasks for refining spirit swords, each of which required refining three medium-grade spirit swords of gold and fire attributes.
After receiving the materials, Zhou Ling left the Tiangong Division.
Afterwards, Zhou Ling went to the largest market nearby, intending to buy some crystals that could be branded with sword intent.
With the help of [Searching the Mountain for Treasures], he accidentally found two third-level burning stones and a second-level medium-grade Mulian sword.
The inscription in the Mulian sword was almost completely damaged, and it was not easy to repair it.
However, through [Intermediate Analysis], Zhou Ling felt that there was still a chance to repair it.
In addition, the sword body also contained a wood-attribute sword intent, which was also what Zhou Ling valued most.
Moreover, these three spiritual objects only cost him 500 low-grade spiritual stones.
It can be said that he picked up a big bargain.
Of course, it was mainly due to the [Searching for Treasures in the Mountains] and [Intermediate Observation] talents.
After returning home in the evening, after accompanying his parents to finish dinner, he returned to the Taoist Temple.
The Taoist Temple has more abundant spiritual energy, and it has four attributes, which is more beneficial for his cultivation.
In addition, now that the Five Elements Thunder Gang Body has been opened, the more abundant the concentration of spiritual energy, the faster the cultivation will improve.
Sitting cross-legged in the practice room, thinking for a while in his mind, he decided on a preliminary plan to refine the spiritual sword.
The task he received from the Tiangong Division does not need to be integrated into the sword stone, so it will not be too difficult for him.
Of course there are a lot of them, two missions, six middle-grade spiritual swords, and ten sword weapons.
Even if it takes two or three days to successfully refine one, it will be enough for him to be busy this month.
"First enter [Deduction Fantasy Simulation] to try refining to ensure the success rate!"
Zhou Ling murmured.
Tiangong Division has very high requirements on the success rate of equipment.
Requires more than 60%.
And he still has to keep a sword, so he only has one chance to fail.
In this case, you need to improve your proficiency as quickly as possible.
Moreover, the simulation of the illusion plays a role in deduction, and it is also very useful in refining the spirit sword.
The scene in front of him moved slightly.
Although the layout in the training room was still the same, Zhou Ling knew that he had entered an illusion.
Then, his right hand shook slightly, a black light flashed, and a piece of black ore appeared in his hand.
It was one of the two third-level burning stones that he unexpectedly obtained today.
Then, he touched the burning stone with his finger.
There was a soft "puff" sound, and a burst of flames swept out, instantly wrapping the burning stone like a firebird.
Start refining.
After burning the incense, when the black material on the surface of the burning stone was removed, a dazzling flame light bloomed from the surface.
Not only were the flames radiating, but there was also a flame streamer in the ore, which looked extremely mysterious.
As the burning stone gradually softened, Zhou Ling withdrew the beast flame.
With a thought, a flaming sword energy slowly emerged.
Then he controlled the flaming sword energy, turning it into wisps of sword light and blending into the burning stone.
Two days later, Zhou Ling looked at the burning stone in front of him with sweat on his back.
At this time, the burning stone that had turned into the color of magma was buzzing, and wisps of faint golden light appeared on the surface from time to time.
This is Zhou Ling's condensed furnace sword intent.
It looks like there is a terrifying aura of burning.
"This sword stone is finally finished!"
Zhou Ling murmured, although his face looked tired, his eyes were full of smiles.
If a middle-grade fire attribute spiritual sword is blended into this sword stone, its power will be at least doubled.
Moreover, it is a sword stone that has the same sword intention as his own. Once used, it will consume less money.
Afterwards, he took out the Aiki Pill and started to recover.
······.
Three months passed by in a flash.
In the training room, Zhou Ling sat on the futon, as if there were sword energy whistling around him.
The room was illuminated with different lights by various sword energies.
After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath, and said with joy, "I finally fully understood the Five Elements Sword Intent!"
These days, he concentrates his energy on two main things.
The first is to refine the Five Elements Spiritual Sword; the second is to comprehend the sword's intention.
With the stimulation of the Five Elements Thunder Gang Body, the cultivation of the Five Elements Sword Art and the Five Elements Qianyang True Art also progressed rapidly.
In three months, he successively comprehended the Muyuan Sword Intent, the Earth Shield Sword Intent and the Ripple Sword Intent.
The Five Elements Sword Intent is fully understood.
The circulation of the Five Elements Sword Art meridians in the body is also very different.
The sword energy flashed throughout the meridians, and the sword energy of various attributes circulated, making Zhou Ling feel an endless mysterious feeling.
It's as if he has become a sword formation. As long as he moves his mind, the Five Elements Sword Formation can be condensed.
Of course, this is also the reason why the Five Elements Sword Art has entered the second level.
Today's Five Elements Sword Formation can display two forms.
The first is the Five Elements Sword and Shield, an attribute defensive sword formation.
This sword formation has strong defense, and once it is condensed, it is enough to block the attacks of monks in the middle stage of foundation building.
And it doesn’t consume much.
The second attack sword formation of the Five Elements Sword Formation is what Zhou Ling cares about the most, the Five Elements Returning to One Sword Formation.
It is extremely difficult to condense this sword formation, and you need to understand the five elements of sword intent.
Only then can a sword formation be formed.
Once it forms a formation, its power is equally jaw-dropping.
If paired with the Five Elements Spirit Sword, it will complement each other even more and double its power.
Even if you are in the early stage of foundation building, you can easily kill the mid-stage foundation building, or even the late stage of foundation building.
Of course, it is not something ordinary swordsmen can do to control five spiritual swords at the same time and form a sword formation.
Even for a sword cultivator in the early stage of foundation building who has understood the meaning of the sword, generally speaking, being able to control two spiritual swords is already extremely powerful.
It is almost impossible to control five spiritual swords at the same time.
But on the one hand, Zhou Ling has a powerful soul, and on the other hand, he has the talent of [Sword Controlling], and now he also has the Five Elements Thunder Body.
It is enough to control the five-path and five-element spiritual swords.
"Now that I have understood the Five Elements Sword Formation, my combat power is enough to deal with the foundation-building monks."
"But we still have to try it first to see the specific power of this Five Elements Sword Formation!"
Zhou Ling murmured.
There is no doubt about the power of the Five Elements Sword Formation. What he wants to test is mainly how long can he control this sword formation?
One hit, two hits, three hits, or more?
Of course, the test method is also simple, just enter [Deduction Fantasy Simulation] directly.
In addition, during this time, he also successfully refined a spiritual sword that contained the Sword Intent of the Furnace and the Sword Intent of the Golden Dragon.
In addition, the repaired sword contains the wood attribute sword intention.
There are already three spiritual swords containing sword intent in his hands.
Just need water and earth attribute spiritual swords.
However, with the help of the [Detailed] talent, he consumes less when branding the sword stone.
Therefore, as long as the sword intention reaches the level of Xiaocheng, it can be branded.
Then, he inspired [Deduction of Fantasy Simulation].
The scene in front of him changed, and Zhou Ling stood on the sword testing platform in the Taoist Square.
In front of him was a ten-foot jade pillar made of glazed jade.
You can try the power of sword moves.
With a thought from Zhou Ling, five spiritual swords flew out from the storage ring.
Surround him.
Sword energy of different colors and breaths spiraled out from the five sword bodies, condensing into five sword lights of different colors in front of the body.
"The five elements are unified!"
Zhou Ling gave a low drink.
The five sword lights roared and turned, as if being guided, they began to merge, and instantly condensed into a giant sword that was more than ten feet tall.
The sword energy on it exudes a different atmosphere.
There are burning, sharpening, banning, etc.
Moreover, the breath is flowing, as if it is endless, and it is so vast!
"Five Elements Sword Formation, fall."
As the sound fell, the giant sword made a loud roar and immediately slashed hard at the glazed jade pillar.
"boom!"
The vast sword energy seemed to condense into a terrifying sword field, and thousands of sword energy bloomed and slashed down.
With a deafening sound of "rumbling", the sword light shot out in all directions.
The next moment, the glazed jade pillar shook violently.
A huge deep gash was left on the pillar.
You know, this is the second-grade high-grade glazed jade, and its texture is extremely hard.
"The power is good, but I am still unable to fully integrate the five sword intentions into the sword formation."
"Once fully integrated, the five sword intentions can burst out at the same time, and the power will definitely be more than that!"
Zhou Ling raised his eyebrows and murmured.
Of course, he is also very satisfied with the power displayed by the Five Elements Sword Formation now!
The Five Elements Sword Formation is not only the fusion of the Five Elements Swords, but also the fusion of the Five Elements Sword Intent.
With the fusion of five different attributes of sword intent, the sword formation can explode with power far greater than its own.
Although for sword cultivators, the more profound the sword intention is, the stronger the power will be.
However, the Five Elements Sword Formation is mutually reinforcing and inhibiting each other, and can stimulate and condense different sword intentions according to different opponents.
There is also an endless trend. Once fully integrated and mastered, the consumption will be reduced.
Of course, there is still a long way to go before Zhou Ling reaches this level.
But for him, the power of the sword array is already very good now.
[You are controlling the Five Elements Sword Formation, sword control +1, Five Elements Sword Formation proficiency +4]
[You are performing the Five Elements Sword Formation, performing fantasy simulation +1, soul +3, Five Elements Sword Formation proficiency +3]
Then, the scene in front of Zhou Ling changed and he exited the fantasy simulation.
Returned to the training room again.
"The power of the Five Elements Sword Formation just now is enough to deal with the monks in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment!"
"Furthermore, when controlling the Five Spirit Swords, my own consumption is still within control."
"Next, we can enter the Ancient Cloud Realm and collect some resources!"
Zhou Ling murmured.
During this time, refining swords, buying spiritual herbs, and renting a stall for his parents also cost him a lot.
Of the dozen or so mid-grade spiritual stones that were originally saved, now only seven are left.
So we still need to enter the Ancient Cloud Realm and see how much ore the sect has collected in the past few months?
Relieve the tension on your hands and find some blood crystals for your father.
