Chapter 136 The Storm Is Fierce on the Day of Completion
——Because I want to watch the game tonight, I am afraid that I will not be able to update at noon tomorrow, so I stayed up late to write this chapter, and now I will update it in advance.
Under the candlelight, Shi Xuan sat behind the table, with four storage bags in front of him, one of which was his own, which contained the Chaos Fish Skin, the Two Realms Divine Stone, and the Yin-Yang Jade Sceptre. The Chaos Fish Skin was dull and dull. If it were not for the black and white Tai Chi pattern on it, no one would believe that it was a natural treasure. Shi Xuan just used the Yin-Yang Qi to stimulate it, and saw many black and white restrictions emerging from the fish skin, with a vast, ancient and sacred taste.
The Two Realms Divine Stone is a crystal stone, sometimes emitting black light and sometimes emitting white light, dazzling and eye-catching. It is a rare treasure at first glance. When Shi Xuan inputs the Yin-Yang Qi, he can see the mysterious restrictions in the transparent crystal stone. This restriction is also constantly flowing and changing between two states over time.
The Yin-Yang Jade Gui is in the shape of a common jade artifact in ancient times. It emits a black and white light that makes people feel hot and cold. It has a sharp upper part and a straight lower end. It has ancient and mysterious patterns. If you slightly use the Yin-Yang Qi, the patterns will emit light and float to the surface.
These three materials are not much. According to Shi Xuan's estimation, they can only be refined twice. In other words, Shi Xuan only has one chance to fail. However, Shi Xuan will not refine his own magic weapon right away. He must first refine other ordinary magic weapons to accumulate experience.
The second storage bag was given to him by Zhao Jingding. It contains the inner pill of the Star Iron Armored Beast. After returning to the sect in the future, he can use it to refine the outer pill to improve his life-saving strength.
The third storage bag is Jin Shijie's storage bag, which still has the restrictions he left behind. But Shi Xuan was no longer the inexperienced and ignorant low-level cultivator. He changed two methods and broke the restriction. It was very empty inside. There were mainly five middle-grade spirit stones, dozens of low-grade spirit stones, and some elixirs for replenishing true qi and healing. In addition, there were five green feathers, two of which had blue and red spots and exuded a fiery breath. They were actually the feathers of an adult Bifang. The other three were as green as the blue sky, and there was a faint spatial force coming out. They were the feathers of an adult Qingluan! Because they were adults, these two items were considered top-quality materials, and the same was true for the two remaining Suzaku feathers of Shi Xuan.
Shi Xuan deduced that these five feathers should have been placed on the innermost white jade table on the left side of Wanbao Tower. Only that table Shi Xuan could not see from the outside. When Shi Xuan went to the fourth floor, it had been taken away. Now that I think about it, it should be Jin Shijie who took these five feathers when he went to the fourth floor.
What is the use of these feathers? Well, these two kinds of feathers can be used as one of the materials for the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan that I have planned. Although it is different from the original version, it is not too much of a deviation. It's just that I am reluctant to give up this blue phoenix feather. After all, it is a rare material with space restrictions. It can be used to refine a life-saving magic weapon that can break through space and escape! Of course, if this function can be integrated into the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, it will be perfect. How to do it specifically, I have to go back to the sect and check the classics. There is only a Five Fires Burning Heaven Banner in the "Baolu" that is relatively close, but it has nothing to do with the power of space.
After putting away the other three, Shi Xuan looked at the last plain storage bag, which was the one on Song Hezi. After Shi Xuan confirmed, this storage bag is a real space storage bag with restrictions left by Song Hezi.
Song Hezi is naturally not comparable to Guangyang Zhenren. The restrictions he left behind have become very weak hundreds of years after his death, but it is still a bit difficult for Shi Xuan.
After carefully looking at the restriction, he found that it was not an offensive restriction, but a protection-based one. Combining his own advantages, Shi Xuan determined the method to break the restriction, which was to break the trick with force! Of course, the premise is to trigger the restriction, otherwise the storage bag will be destroyed while breaking the restriction.
According to the method learned from the sect, Shi Xuan recited the spell, and then sprayed two breaths of true energy on the storage bag. Suddenly, the restriction on the storage bag first glowed, then expanded, and finally turned into a three-foot square restriction guarding the storage bag.
In this three-foot space, there are dense and complex restrictions. Shi Xuan observed for a long time and finally found the core of the restriction. He suppressed his emotions and followed the secret method, constantly hitting the white bright seal characters and spraying true energy on it. Slowly, the core of the restriction moved to the periphery.
A white sword energy flew out of Shi Xuan's nostrils and hit the core of the restriction at a very fast speed. The core of the restriction only lit up for a moment before it was shattered by the sword energy and completely dimmed, and the entire restriction also disintegrated.
Song Hezi's storage bag was as empty as Jin Shijie's. Apart from the only two items, there were no secret treasures, talismans, magic tools, or spiritual tools. I think a lot of them were consumed when breaking the restriction on the fourth floor of Wanbao Tower, and later they were damaged by the counterattack of the restriction.
As for the elixir and spiritual herbs, because hundreds of years have passed, the restrictions that maintain their efficacy have long disappeared. After all, Song Hezi's strength is still far from the Yuanshen period, so they have become a pile of waste.
However, the ten high-quality spiritual stones were not affected at all, and they were still so crystal clear and beautiful. In addition, there were some materials that were not very good, just right for Shi Xuan to practice.
Haha, Song Hezi must have planned to take the magic weapon first and then the materials below. Who knew that he was seriously injured and escaped later, and he couldn't spare the mind to take the materials.
One of the only two objects is the stargazing plate that Shi Xuan must get. It is a bowl-sized array plate with a complex diagram of the movement of the stars in the sky.
The other is a dark bead with a faint mist and black fire inside. Shi Xuan can't recognize it, but it seems to be related to the Yin Fire of the Earth Lung.
Song Hezi did not leave the method of refining these two items. Shi Xuan can only slowly activate the restrictions and slowly master them. Fortunately, the number of restrictions for refining the stargazing plate is not many, only thirty-three layers. I think I can master it within a year.
Originally, Shi Xuan thought that Song Hezi would leave Taoist jade slips, jade slips for refining methods of magic tools, etc. in the storage bag, but he didn't find any of them. Maybe he gave them to someone close to him before entering the Immortal Mansion.
After the inspection, Shi Xuan transferred all the items in the remaining storage bags to Song Hezi's space storage bag. Even so, this space storage bag still looked empty.
…………
The next day, Shi Xuan came to the foot of Panshe Hill alone, where there were dozens of earth fire refining rooms.
"Senior, which refining room do you want to choose? I will drive the people out immediately." Xiao Wu, the sly-looking out-of-body cultivator who was in charge of taking Shi Xuan to choose a refining room, smiled flatteringly. The pressure of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on Shi Xuan was not fake.
How could Shi Xuan let him do that? Anyway, he was not in a hurry: "Which refining room has a more stable and hotter earth fire?"
"Room No. 2, A, just happens to be empty. Senior, you really have a good eye." Xiao Wu flattered him in a nonsensical way.
"How many spirit stones per day?" With the spirit stones from Jin Shijie and Song Hezi as a foundation, Shi Xuan could be considered wealthy.
Xiao Wu hurriedly said: "Ten low-grade spirit stones per day."
"Then how many spirit stones will I rent for a year?" Shi Xuan planned to refine some ordinary magic tools to accumulate experience in the first half of the year, and then began to refine his own magic tools in the second half of the year.
Xiao Wu was shocked. He had never seen anyone renting for a year. It usually takes a cultivator a month at most to refine a magic weapon! So he stammered, "I will take 3,600 low-grade spirit stones from you, which is 36 medium-grade spirit stones."
Shi Xuan took out a high-grade spirit stone and handed it to him: "Give me this much first. After all, I don't know if it will take more than a year. I will settle the bill when I leave."
"Okay, okay, okay." Xiao Wu replied in despair. A cultivator of his realm had never seen a high-grade spirit stone. Even his boss, the Qi-inducing cultivator, probably had never seen one. The high-grade spirit stones produced in nature are the best. As for the top-grade spirit stones, no one knows where they are found. The ones that are still in circulation are those passed down from generation to generation.
"Oh, there's one more thing. I wonder if I can ask you, Xiao Daoist, to help sell the magic tools I made? Of course, the reward will be high." Shi Xuan thought that the magic tools he would use to practice would not be kept, so he simply asked Xiao Wu, who seemed to have a wide range of friends, to sell them on his behalf to save trouble.
Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Of course I'm happy to do so. I'm very happy to do so." The doubts in his heart were also reduced a lot. It seemed that this senior made magic tools for a living, so it was no wonder that he wanted to rent it for a year.
Following Xiao Wu into Room A-2, Shi Xuan saw that it was very tidy inside. In addition to the underground fire vent in the center of the room, there was only a stone table.
The underground fire vent was surrounded by a formation. As long as Shi Xuan stimulated it, the underground fire would erupt from it, and the formation could be used to adjust the size and speed of the underground fire.
…………
Nine months later
On Panshe Hill, several casual cultivators had just finished refining magic tools and came out. They saw a familiar person coming over. The leader shouted, "Brother Xiao, why haven't you sold any magic tools recently? We are still looking forward to it. Your products are really cheap and of good quality."
Xiao Wu frowned and looked at Room 2 of the Jiazi involuntarily: "Oh, don't mention it. That senior has been in seclusion since four months ago. I don't know what he is refining. How can I sell any magic tools?"
Now is the critical moment for Shi Xuan to refine the Tai Chi diagram. He stood at the vent of the ground fire and kept casting runes composed of ancient thunder patterns and ancient cloud seals on a picture of a black and white yin and yang fish entangled head and tail in front of him.
In the first five months, except for the first month when all the refining was turned into waste, Shi Xuan succeeded in refining magic tools more and more times under the guidance of his master Mo Yuan. He asked Xiao Wu to sell all the refining magic tools at cost price and took back 45 medium-grade spirit stones. As for how much Xiao Wu earned, Shi Xuan was not sure. Moreover, during this period, his true energy had broken through to the third level.
Shi Xuan, who felt that his refining skills were extremely proficient, began to refine the Tai Chi diagram in the fifth month, but the first refining ended in failure. Now it is the second refining. If it fails, he can only find materials again.
However, Shi Xuan was full of confidence this time, because he had the experience of the first refining and knew many key points.
At the last moment, Shi Xuan spit out two black and white chaos runes entangled with each other. They were the Yang rune of Kaitian and the Yin rune of Chuangshi. These two runes slowly flew towards the Tai Chi diagram. It took an hour to cover this little distance! Shi Xuan's face was full of sweat, and his true energy and mana were consumed by 80%.
As soon as the black and white runes fell on the Tai Chi diagram, all the restrictions on the Tai Chi diagram shone brightly, undulating and dancing around them. The midday sun outside the house suddenly turned dark, and dark clouds gathered in the sky. It soon began to rain heavily.
