Li Mu stopped talking and began to devote himself to the preparations for refining the weapon.
Glancing at the refining materials around him, Li Mu circulated the Five Elements Yin and Yang Sutra, made a secret with both hands, and spurred out a ball of Five Elements Spirit Fire, ignited the refining furnace, and then used the main material - Jinhuang Spirit Crystal. Put it into the furnace and start refining.
Taoist Qingsong stood aside, staring at the fire intently, feeling both nervous and expectant in his heart.
However, the sixth-level spiritual material, the Golden Brilliance Spirit Crystal, is extremely strong. The smelting process of the Five Elements Spiritual Fire is extremely time-consuming, and the Golden Glory Spirit Crystal has not melted for a long time.
More than an hour passed, Li Mu glanced at Taoist Qingsong, who was so nervous that he almost held his breath, and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Qingsong, this process of refining the weapon is quite time-consuming and requires full concentration. , I’m afraid you will have some inconvenience here, why don’t you go and do your work first, how about I call you over when the spirit treasure is refined?”
Hearing this, Taoist Qingsong hesitated for a moment, and when he met Li Mu's firm eyes and confident smile, he roughly understood what he meant by this. Because of his presence, the great master of weapon refining was unable to use some of his weapon refining methods.
"Okay, then I will go and get busy. Fellow Daoist Li, if you need anything, please remember to call me at any time." Realizing this, Taoist Qingsong nodded, then turned around and left the weapon refining room. And closed the stone door of the refining room tightly.
As Taoist Qingsong left, he was the only one left in the weapon refining room. Li Mu confirmed that there was no divine mind watching, took a deep breath, and then summoned the yin and yang thunder and fire from his body, and used the weapon refining magical power - Tianhuo Wei. The furnace summons the yin and yang thunder and fire and condenses it into a silver and red celestial furnace.
As the Heavenly Fire Furnace condensed with yin and yang thunder and fire condensed, the Heavenly Fire Furnace bloomed with powerful thunder spirit fluctuations, as if it were a small Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, exuding infinite thunder energy.
With a thought from Li Mu, the golden spiritual crystals and many auxiliary weapon refining materials flew into the sky furnace.
In the sky furnace, yin and yang, thunder and fire intertwined, like two swimming dragons writhing in the furnace, swallowing up the weapon refining materials one by one. Many of the weapon refining materials quickly melted under the burning of the flames, turning into a pure molten liquid. , gathered in the center of the furnace.
Li Mu held his breath and concentrated, staring at the changes in the furnace. He quickly formed seals with his hands, controlled the furnace fire, and used the magical power of weapon refining - Shen Ling Ling. He began to refine the weapon embryo, arrange the weapon array, and condense it. Utensil pattern,….
Soon, in the Heavenly Fire Furnace, the sword embryo of a golden spiritual sword emitted light one after another, and dazzling lines of the weapon were continuously condensed.
Today, Li Mu's success rate in refining seventh-level Taoist weapons is as high as 50%. Refining a sixth-level low-grade spiritual sword is almost effortless.
With a crisp sword cry of "buzz", the golden spirit sword was completely refined and suspended in the furnace. The sword body emitted a dazzling golden light, as dazzling as a small sun.
Li Mu smiled slightly, waved his hand, and the golden spiritual sword turned into a golden light, flew into his hand, and collected the Jiuzang Spiritual Pearl.
Li Mu then untied the Heavenly Fire Furnace, put the Yin and Yang Thunder Fire back into his body, closed his eyes, meditated and waited, and was not in a hurry to use this sixth-level spiritual sword to meet Taoist Qingsong.
About seven days later, Taoist Qingsong, who received the message from Li Mu, hurried to the weapon refining room.
The door of the refining room was pushed open, and Taoist Qingsong walked in. His eyes were immediately attracted to the golden spiritual sword suspended in Li Mu's hand. Looking at the long sword, his eyes flashed with indescribable light.
"Fellow Daoist Li, it's done! This...is this the sixth level spiritual sword you refined?" Taoist Qingsong looked at Li Mu and asked excitedly.
Li Mu smiled and nodded, gently waving the golden spirit sword in his hand. The sword drew an elegant arc and made a clear sword sound.
"Brother Qingsong, fortunately, this sixth-level spiritual sword has been refined." Li Mu said and handed the spiritual sword to Taoist Qingsong.
Taoist Qingsong took over the spiritual sword, his eyes bursting with surprise, and he held the spiritual sword carefully, as if he was holding a rare treasure. The golden light of the sword was bright, like flowing liquid, shining with a charming luster. The sword trembled slightly, full of spirituality, and danced gently in his hand, as if it was having some kind of communication with him.
The patterns on the sword are clearly visible. Each one is like a dancing dragon and snake, full of vitality and power. These patterns are not only beautiful, but also contain the powerful golden sword intention.
Taoist Qingsong looked up at Li Mu, his eyes full of admiration, and said in surprise: "Fellow Daoist Li, you really impress me! The quality and spirituality of this spiritual sword far exceed my expectations. It is simply A perfect piece of art! It’s so admirable!”
Taoist Qingsong took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and then solemnly introduced: "Fellow Daoist Li, please come with me to see my master. With this sword, it will not be a problem for him to give the Huanglong Order. Your weapon refining skills , he will definitely give him preferential treatment."
Li Mu nodded with a smile, and followed Taoist Qingsong to the Patriarch's Hall in Huanglongguan.
The two passed through green pines and cypresses, along the winding mountain road, and finally arrived in front of the Patriarch's Hall in Huanglong Temple. The main hall is majestic and majestic. Two giant golden dragon sculptures stand quietly on both sides of the gate, exuding a majestic and mysterious atmosphere.
Taoist Qingsong brought Li Mu to the entrance of the hall, bowed respectfully inside, and then said loudly: "Master, my disciple Qingsong came with fellow Taoist Li Mu to pay homage, and brought a knife that he personally The refined sixth-level spiritual sword, please give me the Yellow Dragon Order."
An old and powerful voice responded from the hall: "Well! Come in."
Li Mu followed Taoist Qingsong into the hall, and a simple and solemn atmosphere hit his face.
In the center of the hall, there is a white-haired old man, Taoist Huanglong. He is wearing a plain yellow Taoist robe. He has an extraordinary temperament, a skinny face, and a strong red fragrance all over his body. , like an ordinary old man, rather than a high-ranking virtual monk.
Taoist Qingsong bowed respectfully, and presented the sixth-level spiritual sword refined by Li Mu with both hands. Under the bright lights in the hall, the golden spiritual sword emitted a faint sword light, and the mysterious weapon pattern on the sword body circulated golden spiritual light. , quite dazzling.
Taoist Huanglong's eyes fell on the Spirit Sword, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He eagerly took the Spirit Sword and stroked it gently, as if he was feeling the spirituality of the Spirit Sword.
"Yes, this sword is made of golden spiritual crystals. The refining technique is extremely exquisite. There is a faint charm of the Great Dao in the flowing patterns of the sword. My friend, you are so young, you can refine a weapon like this. What a rare achievement!" Taoist Huang Long looked at Li Mu with admiration, his voice was gentle and powerful, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
"Thank you for the compliment, senior. It's just a fluke, junior." Li Mu bowed humbly.
Taoist Huang Long smiled slightly and said: "Luck is also a part of strength. Since you have completed the task of refining the weapon of this sect, I will accept this spiritual sword."
As he said that, Huang Long The Taoist waved his sleeves, and the sixth-level spiritual sword disappeared from his sleeves. Then, he took out a golden token and handed it to Li Mu: "This is the Huanglong Order. Holding this token, you are my Huanglong." The guest of the sect has many privileges." Li Mu accepted Huanglong's order and thanked him gratefully: "Thank you for the order, senior."
"My dear, where are you from?" Taoist Huanglong. He looked at Li Mu carefully, with a trace of curiosity in his eyes, and asked with concern.
Being a sixth-level weapon-refining grandmaster was definitely not achieved by chance. His origins must be extraordinary. Taoist Huanglong naturally had a strong interest in Li Mu's origins.
Li Mu responded quickly: "Li is from the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Domain, Qingxuan Sect!"
"Southern Wilderness, Qingxuan Sect! As far as I know, Southern Wilderness seems to have been occupied by demonic cultivators! Taoist Huanglong frowned and looked at Li Mu and asked with concern.
"It's true. The war in the Southern Wilderness is ongoing now, so I fled here to find some opportunities to advance." Li Mu nodded and stopped, unwilling to talk more.
Taoist Huanglong nodded, looked at Li Mu and invited him warmly: "I see, the situation in the Southern Wilderness is serious and the demon sect is rampant. It is really not easy to comfort and practice. Why don't you stay in my Huanglong Temple for a while? The old Taoist has some resources and connections in the Eastern Fantasy Sea, and can arrange people to help you find the opportunities you need. At the same time, you can also learn more advanced weapon-refining techniques in this temple and exchange experiences with other weapon-refining masters.”
After a pause, Huanglong Taoist looked at Li Mu and continued to introduce: "You now hold the Huanglong Order, and you can just participate in the trade fair held by the old Taoist. This trade is a major event for our Huanglong Temple in decades, and there will be people from High-level monks from all the islands in the Eastern Fantasy Sea gather together to exchange various rare weapon-refining materials, elixirs, methods, etc., which will definitely help you find something of opportunity."
Hearing this, Li Mu looked at him. A flash of expectation flashed, and he handed over his hands and thanked: "Thank you for your kindness, senior. I would rather obey my orders than to be respectful."
Taoist Huanglong smiled and nodded, and continued: "The trade will open in fifteen days. You can first watch it at Huanglong Let’s take a rest for now and get familiar with the environment. I will take you to the meeting in person.”
Li Mu nodded and said again, “Thank you, senior. I will definitely follow your senior’s arrangements.”
Taoist Huanglong nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered Qingsong beside him to make arrangements: "Qingsong, take this little friend down and remember to arrange a quiet place for him to have a good rest."
"Yes, Master!" Qingsong answered, and then left the hall with Li Mu.
Watching Li Mu leave, the smile on Taoist Huanglong's face gradually disappeared, his brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought, seeming to be thinking about Li Mu's origins.
This trade fair, in addition to the trading of spiritual objects, also involves a major event. The appearance of a great master of weapon refining at this time is too coincidental. Taoist Huang Long narrowed his eyes slightly.
“This son comes from the Qingxuan Sect in the Southern Wilderness. However, the Southern Wilderness has now been occupied by the forces of the Demonic Abyss. He came to the Eastern Fantasy Sea alone, thousands of miles away, and must have an extraordinary purpose.” Taoist Huanglong thought to himself, with a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
"Is he really trying to find opportunities and improve his strength in order to return to the Southern Wilderness and avenge the Qingxuan Sect in the future?" Taoist Huang Long guessed in his heart, but then shook his head, "No, this Things are by no means simple. If he really wanted revenge, how could he reveal his origin so easily?"
Taoist Huanglong thought for a moment and decided to let Qingsong continue to explore his story and secretly investigate the true origin of this child.
————
At this time, hundreds of thousands of miles away, in Zhongzhou Lingyu, near the Qixuan Sect, in an ancient city of immortal cultivation, in the attic, a man wearing a blue and black robe The middle-aged man sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, his whole body filled with a faint black devilish aura, and he was immersed in a strange state of cultivation.
Suddenly, a black mist condensed in front of him, turning into a figure wearing a black shadow suit, kneeling on the ground on one knee.
The middle-aged man in black robe opened his eyes, and two black devilish auras overflowed from his eyes, staring at the spy who appeared in front of him.
"Report to the Demon Lord, Charming Owl has repeatedly confirmed that the target is not in the sect and his whereabouts are unknown!" The spy lowered his head and reported respectfully.
The killing intent in the Immortal Demon Lord's eyes flashed away, and his voice was low and gloomy: "Whereabouts unknown? How did Charming Owl confirm that the puppet clone made by this person can be fake and the real one, and the real one has not appeared for a long time? "It's a common thing."
"Reporting to the Demon Lord, Mei Xiao combined the changes within the Qixuan Sect, as well as the changes in several sect elders and deputy sect leader Tian Yan to draw the inference that the target was a puppet. The body has not shown up for several months. Mei Xiao reported the target's specific whereabouts. The deputy sect leader Tian Yan may know." The spy continued to report.
Hearing this, the Immortal Demon Lord’s expression condensed and he immediately became serious about it.
For more than twenty years, the Immortal Demon Lord has been obsessed with revenge and succeeded in seizing the physical body of a Void Refining monk. After more than ten years of seclusion and successfully restored his body cultivation, he immediately came to Zhongzhou Ling. Domain, waiting for an opportunity to ambush Li Mu for revenge.
However, the whereabouts of Li Mu's true self are a secret, and he has always been hidden in Qixuan Sect. His whereabouts are unknown. He only shows himself as a puppet. He is extremely cautious, and his true whereabouts remain a mystery.
Now that he is in the Zhongzhou Spiritual Realm, he is alone and weak. The Immortal Demon Lord does not dare to act rashly for fear of not succeeding. Instead, he will scare the snake and attract the attention of Xuantian Sword Sect.
Therefore, the Immortal Demon Lord could only endure his temper and secretly sent his subordinates to sneak into Qixuan Sect, quietly waiting for the opportunity, and planning a fatal blow.
Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye. The Immortal Demon Lord is sitting in the ancient city of Xiuxian. Every day, in addition to practicing and restoring his cultivation, he also listens to the precise news about Li Mu reported by his subordinates.
Today, when he heard the report from his subordinates confirming that Li Mu had left Qixuan Sect and his whereabouts were unknown, a sharp light flashed in the eyes of the Immortal Demon Lord, and he stood up suddenly, his tall body in the room Cast a thick shadow.
"Finally, have you left the Qixuan Sect? I have waited for this day for too long!" the Immortal Demon Lord said excitedly, his voice filled with endless hatred.
The Immortal Demon Lord took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement.
"Fellow Taoist Tianyan! It's time to meet him for a while!" A trace of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the Immortal Demon Lord, and he looked at the spies and ordered: "Send the order and let Charming Owl pay close attention to Tian Yan. Report the whereabouts in a timely manner. "
The last time I was ambushed, it was also because of 'Fellow Tianyan'. This time, the Immortal Demon Lord was going to take action personally and capture him. While questioning Li Mu's whereabouts, he asked again. Calculate the interest with him. (End of this chapter)
