Chapter 156 Wei Haizhi
Refining a magic weapon, or even a flying sword, is by no means a simple matter of three to five days.
Xu Heng wanted to refine his sword, so he had to go to Haiyan to gain some strength. Naturally, he couldn't put it off for a moment.
Therefore, after leaving Baochang Tower, he did not even return to Yuechi Island. He found the direction and fled all the way. He flew for two consecutive days and nights. Suddenly he parted from the clouds and looked down, and saw a vast island covered with A volcano, but without the thick smoke and flying stars.
It turns out that there are practitioners who guided the volcano's fire to vent, so that instead of being filled with smoke and miasma, the place was filled with water, stone, clear flowers, and picturesque scenery.
This is where the Taoist temple of 'Weigong' is located. It is said that it was originally a volcanic badland. After three to four hundred years of management, it has become what it is today. There is also a country that lives and works in peace and contentment, with a population of more than 100,000.
This is a real benefit to one party, so Wei Gong is not only a famous weapon master in Xingxiu Sea, but also a highly respected senior master.
Xu Heng descended the clouds and landed in a fairy city full of people. Based on what he knew, he found a place at the foot of a mountain. He saw that there were buildings and caves on top of the mountain, with well-organized pavilions and connected corridors. He expected that he had arrived. At the boundary of the earth, a flying book was released and thrown into the mountain.
Not long after, a young man wearing a brocade robe, a jade belt, and a golden crown appeared. Seeing that it was Xu Heng who had arrived, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he raised his enthusiasm and said politely: "Fellow Daoist Xu, it's been a long time."
"Fellow Daoist Wei." This person was Wei Haizhi. Xu Heng returned the salute with a smile, and he led Xu Heng into the mountain.
After arriving and sitting down in a pavilion, Wei Haizhi asked someone to serve tea and cakes, and then he raised his hands and asked, "I didn't expect that after several years of separation, my fellow Taoist would suddenly come to the door. Do you want to find something?"
The two did not have a close friendship to begin with, so Wei Haizhi naturally knew that Xu Heng was not here just to visit friends.
Xu Heng didn't show any hypocrisy and went straight to the point: "I came here to find my Taoist friend to refine a flying sword."
Wei Haizhi was picking up the tea and was a little surprised when he heard this.
He was a member of the Qi Dao. When he heard that Xu Heng said 'sword refining' instead of 'begging for a sword', he understood the meaning of the conversation. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Fellow Taoist wants to refine a flying sword. I think it's possible." Any specific ideas?”
Xu Heng was prepared, and without saying any nonsense, he took out the detailed note he had written in advance and gave it to the other party for a look.
Wei Haizhi looked at what was written on the paper, his brows furrowed even more, and he thought for a long time before saying: "Fellow Taoist's requirements are quite high. If it were just me, it might be a little difficult."
"But I can invite Senior Brother to work together, so I should be very confident."
"Oh?" Xu Heng was surprised this time. When he heard this, he looked slightly solemn, cupped his hands and said, "In that case, please help me, fellow Taoist."
"Hahaha." Wei Haizhi said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist has seen something different. If he can start refining a superior magic weapon, isn't it not what the weapon master wishes?"
"And it's just that you and I got to know each other. If I really ask Senior Brother to take action, his fee will be quite high."
"It's easy to talk about this." Xu Heng was about to ask, but Wei Haizhi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, have you prepared the main ingredients and auxiliary ingredients and the elixir for purification?"
Xu Heng smiled slightly and said, "Not yet."
Wei Haizhi said in astonishment: "Since Taoist friend wants to refine a flying sword, why are you not prepared?"
Xu Hengshi took out the treasure box, put it on the table, opened it, and said: "Yu Qi, I am a Taoist priest outside the sect, and my Taoist friends are the ones who are good at it."
"My request has been made known to fellow Taoist. I also ask fellow Taoist to prepare the materials and elixirs for me. If there is any need, fellow Taoist, just ask." "What?" Wei Haizhi was quite moved. , cupped his hands and said: "Since I have such trust from my fellow Taoist, Wei will definitely live up to his trust. Even if he asks his mentor, he will help his fellow Taoist refine this sword."
However, he acted vigorously and resolutely. Only then did Xu Heng return the gift. Wei Haizhi had already stood up and said: "I want to look through a few books on weapons, and then go find my senior brother to discuss it. I also ask fellow Taoists to stay here for the time being. In three to five days, An answer will be given by default.”
Xu Heng was confident and just as he agreed, Wei Haizhi called someone again and asked him to lead Xu Heng to his residence, so he had to take the first step.
"Wait a minute." Xu Heng called Wei Haizhi and said, "Fellow Taoist, you haven't collected the fee yet."
But Wei Haizhi waved his hand and said: "Friend Taoist, please put it away quickly. Why in the world can you accept the fee first before accomplishing something?"
"I can withdraw the materials and elixirs required for sword refining from my mentor's treasury first. If I need to purchase them from outside, I only need to sign for them."
"As for how much to use, it's not too late to figure it out after you make the sword."
Xu Heng couldn't help but feel moved, and said sincerely: "Well, thank you fellow Taoist."
Wei Haizhi smiled slightly and left the hall gracefully, while Xu Heng was guided by his followers and settled at his guest's residence.
Wei Haizhi said he would give Xu Heng a reply in three to five days, but when he left, there was no news.
It wasn't until noon on the eighth day that he arrived at Xu Heng's residence. He was a dignified and accomplished man. His face was very tired, but he was in good spirits. He said: "Every detail has been written down." It’s clear here, fellow Taoists will know it at a glance.”
He handed a volume of jade carvings into Xu Heng's hands. Xu Heng unfolded it and took a brief look, and he knew that there was no lack of effort in it.
The sword embryo in Xu Heng's imagination needs to be able to possess both the Tiangang and Earthly Evil prohibitions. The Earthly Evil prohibition requires Xu Heng to directly sacrifice it with the Fire Dragon Sword Technique. As for the Tiangang prohibition, there is nothing special about it.
From what he learned in Tianchi Mountain, he chose an ordinary sacrificial refining method, which can make the magic weapon have three characteristics: freedom of expansion and contraction, change of hardness and softness, and razor-sharpness.
Unexpectedly, this matter is simple to say, but it is quite a test for the weapon master. Wei Haizhi thought hard for a long time before he finally came up with it. He wanted to use the two attributes of gold and fire to refine the sword embryo, and the techniques and materials were detailed. List.
"Fellow Taoist, you have taken the trouble." Xu Heng asked, "Is it useful for poor Taoists?"
Wei Haizhi was about to shake his head, but after thinking about it, he pointed at the jade carving and said, "Fellow Taoist, please look here."
Xu Heng looked towards the place he pointed out and heard Wei Haizhi say: "My master's treasury is complete with the elixir for refining the flying sword, but the refining materials are different after all."
"Although most of these materials can be prepared at present, there are still some scarce items. We are looking for purchase from the outside world. If fellow Taoists have other ways, you can also pay attention to it yourself."
Xu Heng listened carefully and realized that there were actually only two kinds of scarce things that Wei Haizhi said.
Among the materials listed by Wei Haizhi, three metal materials are the most important, representing three characteristics: freedom of expansion and contraction, change of hardness and softness, and sharpness.
Wei Haizhi already had access to two of them, but they only lacked a 'sharp and smooth' metal. The material requirements were not large, but there were very few materials that could achieve the desired effect.
Apart from this, there is only one treasure with strong enough 'fire nature'.
