Chapter 248 In Full Swing (1/2)

Most of the fifty disciples had learned magic.

After hearing Lin Mu's order, they all began to perform magic.

"Fireball"!

"Water Arrow"!

"Golden Needle"!

"Earth Wall"!

One magic after another was performed, and all fell into the misty lake.

The fish in the lake immediately scattered and fled to avoid this unexpected disaster.

The tenth-level disciples of Qi Refining should have strong spiritual power in their bodies, but many disciples had exhausted their spiritual power before performing twenty magics. Such a level made Lin Mu feel sad, it was really too bad!

With such strength, how could he build a foundation.

Back then, he could easily perform hundreds of magics.

Now these disciples are not even one-fifth of his previous ones!

It's really that each generation is worse than the previous one!

Lin Mu ordered the disciples to sit in meditation immediately and recover their spiritual power.

After two hours, the spiritual power in the body can be almost fully recovered.

Lin Mu then urged again, and the disciples hurriedly cast their spells again.

The fish that had just been thought to have calmed down by the lake had no choice but to leave again.

The spells were cast one by one, and the disciples also tried their best to perform well.

Lin Mu observed these disciples and nodded secretly from time to time.

Among the fifty people, Jing Qi was the youngest and his cultivation advanced the fastest.

However, Jing Qi's spiritual power was the most frivolous!

Jing Qi himself knew his own situation, and he had to practice harder and harder than others.

His spiritual power was originally frivolous. Others could cast spells twenty times, but he could only cast fifteen times.

But every time his spiritual power was exhausted, he gritted his teeth and cast one more spell.

There were slight pains in his meridians, but he didn't care and still forced to cast.

As he practiced so hard, the spiritual power in his body also changed a little bit.

The number of spells he could cast also increased slowly from the initial fifteen times.

Sixteen times, seventeen times, eighteen times, nineteen times, twenty times!

For five days, he practiced non-stop except for the necessary rest time.

Others completed the tasks assigned by Lin Mu in one day, and after consuming it ten times, they went back to rest.

Jing Qi was one of the few disciples who practiced hard.

He practiced day and night, and each time he repeatedly consumed and restored his spiritual power at least sixty times!

It was six times that of other disciples!

After practicing so hard, he quickly caught up with others in five days.

Even if all the spiritual power in his body was exhausted, he could still perform twenty spells.

But at this time, others could already perform twenty-two spells!

Jing Qi was competitive by nature, and his practice intensity increased.

Every time his spiritual power was exhausted, he forced himself to perform two more times, vowing to be the same as others.

After such hard work, he caught up with other disciples after a month.

Others could perform thirty spells after exhausting their spiritual power once, and he could already perform thirty-one spells.

Lin Mu had been watching Jing Qi's performance and nodded secretly.

This month, he did not learn the formation again. The sixty formations he had learned before were enough for him to refine an ordinary low-grade flying sword.

This month, he began to learn to understand the materials.

This is also a must-learn content for refining.

Understanding the materials is not just about understanding the appearance, name, and function of the materials. These are just the basics.

What Lin Mu understands is the characteristics of the materials, such as how high a temperature a pound of cold iron can withstand, how long it takes to refine it before its characteristics can be brought into play, if it is made into a defensive magic weapon, can it withstand a blow from a flying sword, and if it is refined into a flying sword, what level of attack power can it reach.

This is what Lin Mu wants to learn.

He stands behind the disciples every day, urging them to practice diligently.

At the same time, he also holds a piece of material in his hand, either cold iron or red copper.

A wisp of pale white flame emerges from the tip of his middle finger, burning the cold iron in his hand.

The hard cold iron in his hand keeps changing its shape and becomes soft like dough.

Lin Mu used this method to feel the characteristics of cold iron.

In a month, he has been familiar with the characteristics of twenty kinds of materials!

After a month, the disciples can easily complete the tasks assigned by Lin Mu. Consuming spiritual power ten times a day is no longer a problem for them.

Lin Mu increased the difficulty again, asking them to consume and recover thirty times a day!

A sharp increase of three times!

In this way, all the disciples became extremely tired again.

On the first day, only a few people such as Shi Jian, Lu Yuan, and Xin Yan completed the task.

The rest of them were all exhausted and fell to the ground, and they did not complete the task.

On the second day, more than ten people were able to barely complete the task.

Lin Mu had a faint smile on his face, and smiled at the disciples to practice.

After three days, twenty disciples were able to complete the task.

None of the lagging disciples were lazy, but worked harder.

No one wanted to be the worst one.

After five days, thirty people were able to complete the task.

The remaining disciples became more diligent, sweating profusely every day and rarely resting.

After eight days, all forty people were able to complete the task.

The remaining ten people worked harder and practiced day and night.

After ten days, all the disciples were able to complete the task of consuming and restoring thirty times.

Lin Mu smiled, and he was very satisfied with the performance of the disciples.

After practicing for a month with such intensity, there was no change.

Until most of the disciples felt relaxed and wanted to be lazy again, Lin Mu increased the amount of practice again.

Consume and restore fifty times a day!

Fifty times!

Many disciples took a breath, but no one complained, and they all practiced hard.

They all knew that Lin Mu did this for their own good.

Otherwise, Lin Mu would not have to stand here all day to urge them, and he could just practice hard himself.

Lin Mu was secretly happy about the disciples' response.

In fact, fifty times, in his opinion, is not high!

When he was at the seventh or eighth level of refining, he could easily do a hundred times.

When he went to the alchemy room to refine the elixir, he could stay in the alchemy room for a month except for necessary rest.

Among this group of disciples, only Shi Jian, Jing Qi, Lu Yuan, and Xin Yan could match such perseverance.

While the disciples were practicing fifty times, Lin Mu was always trying to understand the characteristics of the materials.

The materials given by Elder Luo Yan were of hundreds of types. Although the grades were not high, the best materials could only be used to refine medium-grade magic tools, but it would take a lot of time for Lin Mu to understand them all.

Lin Mu now only knows the low-level materials for refining low-grade magic tools, but there are also one or two hundred types.

It is enough for Lin Mu to understand for two or three months.

The fifty Qi Refining disciples practiced harder and harder.

When Lin Mu told them that he could easily recover hundreds of spiritual power consumption, these disciples were all shocked and ashamed.

Now Shi Jian, the most hardworking, can only persist for sixty times at most each time.

But this is already good, far ahead of other disciples.

Other disciples couldn't even complete the fifty tasks assigned by Lin Mu.

On the first day, only Shi Jian completed the task easily, and then continued to practice hard calmly.

Among the others, only Lu Yuan was the closest, but he only completed forty-eight times, two more times short!

Now Lin Mu roughly estimated that only Shi Jian was qualified to build a foundation.

The others were still lacking some skills.

Only one person could build a foundation!

Lin Mu felt depressed and demanded more strictly from his disciples.

Fifty tasks must be completed, otherwise don't think about rest.

If they can't be completed in one day, they have to practice more at night.

Under this stimulation, the disciples' level improved by leaps and bounds.

Although there are still not many people who can complete fifty tasks, many disciples can reach forty times.

After practicing hard for a month, many people can reach fifty times!

Lin Mu counted them and found that there were fifteen people in total.

The effect is not bad!

Lin Mu continued to let his disciples practice. He had seen that many disciples found such boring practice boring, and their enthusiasm for practice was not as good as before. They seemed to be numb and confused all day long, just practicing hard.

In this situation, Lin Mu also came up with a way to deal with it, but it would be implemented later.

Now, he wanted to urge these disciples to make a full attack fifty times!

After forty days, twenty-five people were able to reach fifty times.

After fifty days, thirty-three people were able to complete the task.

After sixty days, forty-two people were able to complete the task.

After seventy days, all fifty people were able to complete the task!

At this point, the practice came to an end, and Lin Mu let the disciples rest for a few days.

During these days, Lin Mu had also familiarized himself with all the materials for refining low-grade magic tools, and his heart was full of desire for refining magic tools. He believed that refining low-grade magic tools was not a problem for him.

In addition, he also found time to successfully sacrifice the Red Flame Furnace Cauldron.

During the days when his disciples were resting, he took out the Red Flame Furnace and began to try to refine magic tools.

The first thing he wanted to refine was a flying sword, the lower-grade Qingfeng Sword!

Lin Mu took out a few materials and threw them into the Red Flame Furnace according to a certain amount.

The refining illustrations of the Qingfeng Sword are recorded in the "General Principles of Refining Equipment", and there are clear requirements for the proportions of various materials.

However, compared with alchemy, the requirements for refining equipment are slightly looser and can be fine-tuned by oneself.

Lin Mu then performed the "Red Fire Art", and a four-leaf fire lotus appeared at the bottom of the Red Flame Furnace. The fire lotus burned fiercely, and the materials quickly melted into juice, which was extremely easy.

The fire control skills learned when refining alchemy can also be used in refining equipment.

Three hours later, Lin Mu suddenly cast more than a dozen magic spells, the lid of the Red Flame Furnace opened, and a ball of hot juice flew out of the furnace, and the white mist around was immediately evaporated.

Lin Mu casually pointed his finger and continuously injected magic spells into the material that had melted into juice. Under the stimulation of Lin Mu's magic spells, the mass of material quickly deformed and slowly turned into the shape of a flying sword, simple and unpretentious.

The first step, forming!

Lin Mu was delighted. Although the appearance of this flying sword was not so exquisite and beautiful, it was really no different from a flying sword. The first step, forming, he did a pretty good job.

Then came the second step, carving the formation!

This process wasted a lot of Lin Mu's time.

He failed several times before he managed to successfully carve a first-grade formation.

As early as when he was learning the formation, Lin Mu was still confident, but when he carved it himself, Lin Mu realized that what he learned from books was always shallow.

But fortunately, he tried several times and finally succeeded in carving a first-grade formation.

Then Lin Mu kept entering the magic formula, urging spiritual power, and tempering the Qingfeng sword with spiritual power.

Under Lin Mu's spiritual power tempering, the light of the Qingfeng sword became brighter and brighter, and the hazy green light in the white mist was unusually beautiful.

Three hours later, Lin Mu played the magic formula, and the Qingfeng sword immediately flew down from mid-air.

The third step, tempering, was also completed.

Lin Mu refined the first flying sword, the Qingfeng Sword, and it came out of the furnace!

Although the appearance, formation, and power of this Qingfeng Sword were all ordinary, Lin Mu was very satisfied.

After all, this was his first time refining a flying sword, and it was so successful!

After repeatedly admiring the Qingfeng Sword for a long time, Lin Mu reluctantly put it down.

Then he started to refine it again.

The second refining was still not very successful.

The first step, forming, had problems.

After the flying sword was formed, it was not straight, but looked a little twisted, which was really ugly.

Lin Mu had to go back to the furnace, throw the flying sword into the red flame furnace again, and start refining again.

This time, it was very smooth, from forming, to engraving the formation, to quenching, it was perfect.

Of course, this is still just a Qingfeng Sword!

Then for three consecutive days, Lin Mu worked hard to refine the Qingfeng Sword every day.

As he became more familiar with the Qingfeng Sword, the appearance of the refined flying sword became better and better, and even the power was greatly enhanced.

Lin Mu was not in a hurry every day. He would stop to rest after refining two flying swords and summarize his thoughts.

Three days later, Lin Mu stopped refining. In front of him, there were eight Qingfeng swords lined up side by side.

Looking at the eight Qingfeng swords lined up, Lin Mu smiled.

He immediately began to call his disciples, and fifty disciples quickly gathered.

After three or four days of rest, the fifty disciples were full of energy and vigor.

Lin Mu looked at the fifty disciples and smiled, "I think you must have been bored with the previous practice. Now let's practice in a different way. From now on, each of you will find an opponent to fight. We will not compete in strength, but only in endurance. See who can persist longer in recovering spiritual power. The winner can enter the second round. The winner will be the top seven. At that time, I will reward each of the top seven with a low-grade flying sword."

Low-grade flying sword!

All the disciples were excited and couldn't help themselves.

As a disciple of Qianyu Sword Sect, he will definitely become a sword cultivator in the future.

At this time, the flying sword is indispensable.

It is really good to get a flying sword in the Qi Refining Stage.

Lin Mu then added: "In addition, I will give each person a third-grade sword technique!"

"Remember, it is third-grade!" Lin Mu emphasized again and again.

The disciples below could no longer suppress their excitement and burst out at the same time. Everyone was very excited.

Lin Mu then arranged for the disciples to start the competition. All fifty people were full of confidence and were determined to get the flying sword and sword technique.
