Chapter 686: Refining Spirit Armor
The secret room is underground. Qingyang followed the two of them through a secret passage, and then went several dozen feet underground along the steps before finally arriving. This is the forbidden area of the Mo family. Only the head of the family can use it. This time, he came here because the things he refined were too valuable.
In the middle of the secret room is a huge formation. In the center of the formation, large pieces of earth fire stones are placed according to a certain pattern. On top of the earth fire stones, a cluster of flames as big as a bowl is burning. This flame is completely different from the common fire. The color is red like blood. Just looking at it from a distance, Qingyang feels the heat and seems to be sweating.
Seeing that Qingyang was interested in the flame in the middle, Mo Rong took the initiative to introduce: "This fire is called the Earth Core Fire. It only exists deep in the center of the earth. It was obtained by an old ancestor of the Mo family who was in the late stage of foundation building hundreds of years ago. In order to ensure that this Earth Core Fire does not go out, our Mo family has to spend a lot of spirit stones every year to purchase Earth Fire Stone to maintain the operation of the formation."
Qingyang was even more curious and asked: "What is the use of this Earth Core Fire?"
Mo Duan said: "The flame provided by this Earth Core Fire is higher in temperature than the flame burning by spiritual materials. It is not much worse than the Dan Fire of Jindan cultivators. Moreover, the temperature of the Earth Core Fire is constant, and it is easier and more convenient to control. It is of great help for refining tools. To be honest, if the Mo family did not have this Earth Core Fire, I would not be completely sure about refining the best spiritual tools."
Whether it is alchemy or refining tools, the requirements for fire are very high. Ordinary ordinary fire cannot meet the requirements. High-level cultivators can use Dan Fire, but Dan Fire consumes too much true essence. It can be used temporarily, but no one can bear it for a long time.
In addition, the more commonly used ones are ground fire and spiritual fire generated by burning spiritual materials. The spiritual fire generated by burning spiritual materials is more difficult to control and will affect the effect of refining. Ground fire is easier to use, but it is a pity that there is not much land or resources in Jiuzhou Continent, so it is rarely seen.
I didn't expect that the Mo family actually found a way to get such a cluster of ground fire, but the ground fire obtained in this way belongs to the source without roots, and the price paid is also relatively high. The Mo family needs to buy a large amount of ground fire stones every year to maintain it, which consumes a lot.
Qingyang feels that if he also has such a cluster of earth core fire, then his success rate of alchemy can be improved a lot. Not to mention half a percent, there are still three or five points. It doesn't seem to be a lot, but for some pills, three or five points are the key to success or failure.
If there is a chance, I can also try this method. Not to mention anything else, at least when refining those high-level pills, I will be more confident than before and less likely to make mistakes. Over time, the materials saved are also considerable.
While Qingyang was daydreaming, the Mo brothers had already walked to the Earth Core Fire, put away the things they had prepared in advance, and then opened the formation in front of them.
A few pieces of Earth Fire Stone were added to the formation, and the Earth Core Fire was a little stronger than before. After all the preparations were arranged, Qingyang handed the snake skin of the Jindan period to Mo Duan, and then Mo Duan sat next to the Earth Fire and began to process the snake skin in his hand with the help of the Earth Core Fire. Mo Rong was not idle either. He took out the auxiliary materials they prepared one by one and processed them according to certain requirements.
Qingyang was idle and had nothing to do, so he just watched from the side. The Mo brothers did not deliberately hide it from Qingyang. They did what they should do, as if they were not afraid that Qingyang would learn secretly.
When refining the spiritual armor, it was mainly Mo Duan who operated it, but in some key places, Mo Duan would also ask Mo Rong for help. The brothers seemed to have a tacit understanding and there were no problems.
Qingyang found that refining equipment was similar to refining pills. They all followed certain steps to pre-process various materials and then added them to the main materials one by one. After all the materials are refined into one, they are refined into shape according to certain regulations.
However, it is not so simple to refine the materials into spiritual tools. It is also necessary to engrave the formation inside and strengthen the function. It is impossible to complete it without certain strength and experience. In short, no matter what you do, you need talent in this area. Qingyang's talent is in alchemy. Even if he learns from a master at close range, it is difficult for him to refine the tool.
The two tool refiners cannot be disturbed. Qingyang lost interest after watching for a while, so he found a quiet corner in the secret room to meditate and practice.
Unknowingly, more than two months have passed, and the refining of the spiritual armor is approaching its end. The Mo brothers have also become haggard due to long-term operation, and the wrinkles on their faces are deeper than before. It can be clearly seen that both of them have overdrawn their spiritual thoughts.
Refining tools is the same as refining pills. Not only does it consume true essence, it is also a great test for the spiritual thoughts of cultivators. More than two months of sleepless nights are unbearable for most people. Fortunately, the spiritual armor is about to take shape, and there is not much work left. Just hold on a little. At this time, Qingyang was not in the mood to practice. He sat far away in the corner of the secret room, watching the two people operate quietly.
Mo Rong sat next to the earth fire, his upper body clothes had been thrown aside, bare-chested, sweaty, and controlled a piece of spiritual armor with his mind, rolling constantly on the earth fire. At the same time, he would slightly adjust the formation according to the flame situation and the needs of the spiritual armor.
Mo Duan next to him was also disheveled, sweating, half of his body leaning forward, almost reaching into the earth fire, his hands constantly carving on the spiritual armor, and faintly seeing the stars in the sky gathering on the spiritual armor. From his slightly nervous expression, it can be seen that the refining of the spiritual armor has reached the most critical moment and cannot be missed.
Looking at this scene, Qingyang couldn't help but sigh. It's true that different trades are like different mountains. This weapon refining is not so easy to learn. It's so troublesome for two people to cooperate. If one person refines the spiritual armor, it will probably be even more difficult. Compared with this, refining pills seems easier.
At this moment, Mo Duan suddenly shouted: "The formation has been carved, and the fusion of spirits will begin soon. Second brother, be prepared and don't make mistakes."
"Brother, go ahead, there will be no problems on my side." Mo Rong replied.
Then both parties acted at the same time, and the spiritual armor in the ground fire suddenly shook, and the nearby spiritual energy actually gathered towards the spiritual armor, and the spiritual light on the spiritual armor became more and more prosperous, just like a peerless treasure about to be born, it looked extremely dazzling.
I don't know how long it took, suddenly, a light and shadow of a spotted green snake appeared in the air, which looked a bit similar to the appearance of Hua Qingyao. The snake shadow screamed to the sky, and soon disappeared into the spiritual armor below. The dazzling spiritual light dissipated instantly, revealing the true face of the spiritual armor.
