Chapter 250: Accomplishment

Success is worth celebrating, but failure is not without merit.

Lin Mu worked hard for two months and gained a lot.

Now he has mastered the first-grade array formation, and he is very familiar with it.

He can easily and effortlessly carve out six first-grade array formations.

But when carving the second-grade "Floating Cloud Array", Lin Mu encountered many obstacles and the progress was not satisfactory.

The second-grade array formation is complicated and obscure. If there is a slight mistake, all the previous efforts will be wasted.

Lin Mu believes that he has a thorough understanding of the "Floating Cloud Array", but when he really carves it, he finds it difficult.

Everything is not as easy as imagined. Many things that seem to be extremely easy are a mess when it comes to doing it.

Refining magic tools is not a simple matter, and not everyone can become a master of refining tools.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to refine mid-grade magic tools, and many people are stuck on this.

In the Tianxiao Realm, there are many geniuses, but only a few can truly achieve the Golden Core. It is even rarer to become a master of refining tools on this basis.

Qianyu Sword Sect is now one of the top five sects in the Tianxiao Realm, and there is only one master of refining tools, Elder Luo Yan.

This is also the reason why Shi Weihan is reluctant to take action against Luo Yan.

Although Qianyu Sword Sect is a sword-cultivating sect, it advocates strong attack power.

But if there is no Luo Yan to refine magic tools, there is no way to talk about the strong attack power of the disciples.

Are we going to let the late-stage spiritual masters control the mid-grade flying swords and shout and kill?

If this is true, Qianyu Sword Sect would have been blasted into slag long ago, leaving no ashes.

Until now, Lin Mu felt deeply the gap between himself and Elder Luo Yan, which was like a natural chasm that could not be crossed.

Luo Yan could easily refine top-grade magic tools.

Lin Mu could not even refine a medium-grade magic tool at present, and was stuck on carving arrays, unable to break through.

The difficulty of refining top-grade magic tools is at least a hundred times that of medium-grade magic tools.

The fourth-grade array is vast and complex, far superior to the second-grade array, and the number of arrays carved on top-grade magic tools is also far more than that of medium-grade magic tools. Even any array is above the third grade.

But every time Elder Luo Yan refines, it is like flowing clouds and water, and he succeeds at one go, without any mistakes.

Before, Lin Mu only felt that Elder Luo Yan's refining skills were superb, and he was full of praise, and there was no other feeling.

Now that he has started to refine tools himself, he knows that every step is not so easy.

In fact, Lin Mu's current conditions for refining tools are really excellent.

His cultivation and spiritual awareness are comparable to those of the late stage of Lingji. The spiritual fire he uses is the third-grade bell shoot fire, and his fire control skills have reached the level of the four-leaf fire lotus. The furnaces and cauldrons for refining instruments are all at the level of top-grade instruments. With such conditions, it is more than enough to refine top-grade instruments.

But he has been working hard for more than two months, but he can't even refine a middle-grade instrument.

If he wants to refine a top-grade flying sword, it will be even more difficult.

Lin Mu is so diligent, and he is already like this. Other instrument refiners must not be much better.

Lin Mu now understands more and more, no wonder so many people like to kill people and rob treasures, and get something for nothing.

The normal way is too difficult to go, bumpy and rugged.

But compared with killing people and robbing treasures, Lin Mu wants to take this rugged road.

Killing people and robbing treasures is indeed rich, but it is also a gamble with life.

Those who kill people will be killed by others.

Although Lin Mu felt that he was not a righteous or kind person, he was not willing to take the initiative to kill people for treasure.

Only those who truly practiced hard on their own would understand that practice was not easy.

Killing a spiritual Silence cultivator might get a top-grade magic weapon, or even a valuable spiritual stone.

For the killer, this was just the most ordinary harvest.

But for the person being killed, it was a lifelong struggle that was instantly gone.

Lin Mu thought that if he was also targeted by others to kill for treasure one day, he could not help but feel sad and angry.

Therefore, when he met people who killed people for treasure now, he was merciless and killed them all.

In comparison, he would rather take this path of hard practice.

Relying on his own efforts, he could make progress little by little, get what he wanted, and achieve his wish.

The risk of such hard practice was relatively small. With his current strength, others would not dare to provoke him easily.

If he could refine a mid-grade or even a top-grade magical weapon, the flying swords for the fifty disciples would be settled in the future.

A top-grade flying sword would cost thousands of spirit stones, and a high-quality flying sword would even cost tens of thousands of spirit stones.

If the fifty Qi Refining disciples were to build their foundations together, it would cost a lot of money just to buy a flying sword for each of them.

If Lin Mu could achieve some success in refining weapons, he could save a lot of spirit stones.

If he could improve his level and refine a top-grade magical weapon, he could also refine a top-grade flying sword for his parents and Yun Meng in the future.

Now, he has successfully carved out six first-grade arrays. He only needs to work hard to carve out the second-grade "Floating Cloud Array" to successfully refine the Flying Cloud Boots. The third step, spiritual power tempering, is relatively simple, and it is nothing more than hard work, not as complicated as carving arrays.

The four-leaf fire lotus is burning at the bottom of the furnace, and the red flame furnace is glowing red. The white mist around has long been driven away, and it is clear.

The snow-white boots turned into a ball of white liquid in the furnace again, and the refining started again.

Six hours later.

Lin Mu casually cast a dozen spells, the furnace lid opened, and white liquid flew out, scorching hot.

After two months of hard refining, Lin Mu has made a lot of progress in refining materials. It has improved from the initial eight hours to only six hours. He is now more and more proficient in controlling the temperature, and he will benefit from it in future alchemy.

Under the control of Lin Mu's spells, the white liquid split into two, and then gradually turned into a pair of exquisite and gorgeous boots.

The first step, forming!

Lin Mu is doing well now, a pair of boots are exquisite and gorgeous, and extremely beautiful.

This is the result of careful refining.

Although Lin Mu has never succeeded, he has never been careless every time he refines.

In this process, the level of refining has also improved significantly invisibly.

After forming, Lin Mu's expression became more serious and began to carve the formation.

The first three first-grade formations were easily completed without any effort.

The fourth formation was also completed easily.

The fifth formation also had no obstacles.

For the sixth formation, Lin Mu's formation speed was slightly slower and he became more cautious.

Now he only took about three hours to carve these six formations, which was also far better than before.

The carving of "Floating Cloud Formation" is the top priority.

Whether the flying cloud boots can fly and how fast they fly are closely related to the quality of Lin Mu's formation carving.

If it is roughly completed, although it is also considered a medium-grade magic weapon, it is not too weak.

If the "Floating Cloud Formation" and the White Water Stone can be perfectly matched, the power will increase by two or three times!

The gap between them is incomparable.

However, Lin Mu can't even do the most basic rough completion now.

Lin Mu felt that there was a flaw after only carving one-third of the "Floating Cloud Formation".

The spiritual power carved the pattern a little too much, and the inside of the Feiyun Boots collapsed immediately, and the formation carved before was all useless.

Lin Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head secretly.

This failure was not only in the formation, but also in his lack of familiarity with the material properties.

In fact, when he carved that line, the line was extremely smooth and round. If it wasn't for the heavy force, it would be perfect.

However, this time, all the previous efforts were wasted.

The White Water Stone is brittle, and it is not suitable to use too much strong spiritual power, otherwise the inside will collapse.

Although Lin Mu has been careful enough, he is not clear about the limits.

This failure has accumulated experience again.

Next time he refines, he will definitely pay attention to this point to avoid making the same mistake a second time.

Lin Mu meditated for a while to regulate his breathing, and his spiritual power returned to its best state. Then he threw the boots into the red flame furnace, performed the "Red Fire Art", and began to refine again.

The fifty disciples were already accustomed to Lin Mu's failure and were calm about it.

After practicing hard for several months, the fifty disciples also made remarkable progress.

Now each disciple can easily recover spiritual power consumption sixty times, and Shi Jian can even do it eighty times!

It is difficult to go further. The disciples' practice effect is obvious, and their enthusiasm is getting higher and higher.

Lin Mu was also very happy about this. As long as he refined this pair of Feiyun boots, he would be ready to help the disciples who had the hope of successfully building the foundation to impact the foundation.

Compared with the joy of the disciples, Lin Mu was undoubtedly tortured.

His refining failed again!

In fact, this is understandable. He has only been refining tools for a few months. He has not refined many low-grade tools, and he is trying to make medium-grade tools. Failure is inevitable. When Shitou first learned to refine pills, he started from the second-grade Guiling Pill. He also consumed a lot of materials and failed more times.

Fortunately, if the refining fails, the materials can be recycled.

Otherwise, Lin Mu would not dare to practice like this.

Now, he has free time, does not waste materials, and can slowly improve his refining skills. Although he still fails, he can take it easy and is not as impatient as he was at the beginning.

Failures are repeated again and again, and time passes quickly in failure.

Lin Mu's refining skills are also improving little by little, and he has accumulated rich experience. He can understand many things clearly and easily.

The engraving of "Floating Cloud Formation" has also made great progress.

In a blink of an eye, another three months have passed.

On this day, Lin Mu took out the Red Flame Furnace Cauldron as usual and started refining again.

The four-leaf fire lotus danced at the bottom of the furnace, and the red light of the red flame furnace flashed, with waves of pressure.

The boots turned into white liquid again in the furnace, crystal clear and pure.

Five hours later.

Lin Mu realized that the fire was enough, and suddenly cast more than a dozen spells, and the white liquid flew out of the furnace.

Under the control of Lin Mu's spell, the white liquid suddenly separated into two, and then changed its shape again. As Lin Mu's spell was cast faster and faster, a pair of exquisite and gorgeous boots gradually took shape!

The first step, taking shape!

It's perfect!

Lin Mu was full of confidence and began to carve the array again.

Six first-grade arrays were carved in one go, like flowing clouds and water.

Lin Mu was calm and at ease, and he cast the spell carefully. The spiritual power in his body moved freely, and lines of spiritual power were carved out. The second-grade "Floating Cloud Array" took shape!

Under Lin Mu's meticulous carving, the "Floating Cloud Array" became more and more exquisite and perfect, and it fit more and more perfectly with the white water stone.

Three hours later.

A dazzling white light flashed, and Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes full of joy.

The second step, carving the array! Completed!

Lin Mu immediately stopped dripping, and urged the spiritual power again to start tempering.

As the spiritual power was tempered again and again, the Feiyun boots shone brightly, becoming more and more crystal clear and gorgeous.

Such a strong light attracted the attention of fifty disciples.

Everyone was delighted and came to watch.

Three hours later.

Lin Mu cast the last spell, and a white light soared into the sky, and the surroundings were as bright as day.

The white light disappeared, and a pair of exquisite and gorgeous Feiyun boots appeared in front of everyone!
