Chapter 282: Grand Return

The red light of the Red Flame Furnace flashed.

Lin Mu immersed his consciousness into the Red Flame Furnace, exploring the changes of the high-level materials in the furnace.

Under the scorching of the four-leaf fire lotus, the materials in the furnace began to melt slowly.

A smile appeared on Lin Mu's face, and then he increased the input of spiritual power, and the flames at the bottom of the furnace became more and more vigorous.

This was the first time that Lin Mu refined a top-grade magic weapon, but he still did not expect that it would be so difficult to refine a top-grade magic weapon.

Knowing is easy, but doing is difficult.

Everything is not as simple as it sounds, nor as simple as it looks.

Before, Lin Mu had watched Elder Luo Yan refine the top-grade cloud-stepping boots and blue sand shield. Elder Luo Yan's relaxed appearance left a very deep impression in his heart. That kind of unrestrained and free made him mistakenly believe that as long as he worked hard to learn, it would not be difficult to refine a top-grade magic weapon.

After all, Elder Luo Yan refined top-grade magic weapons, and they all succeeded in one go. He is only refining a top-grade magic weapon now, and he doesn't need to do it many times, as long as he can succeed.

But until now, when he personally refined it, Lin Mu felt a sense of powerlessness.

He worked hard for two hours, and the materials in the red flame furnace were just melted.

It is so difficult to melt high-level materials. If you want to successfully refine a top-grade magic weapon, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

You know, melting materials is the foundation of the foundation. It is not even the first step of forming. At best, it is just the preliminary preparation for forming. But such a preparation took Lin Mu a lot of spiritual power to complete.

If he had not reached the peak of the foundation-building period and his spiritual power had not increased greatly, I am afraid that even this preparation would be difficult to complete.

Like the alchemist, the weapon refiner is very profitable, but it is difficult to achieve great success.

Like the alchemist and the weapon refiner, it is easy to learn but difficult to master. In the early stage, as long as you have patience and practice hard, you can achieve certain results. But if you really want to become a high-level alchemist or a high-level weapon refiner, you have to pay more than just hard work. Comprehension, famous teachers, and resources are all extremely important. Of course, hard work has become more important than before.

Nowadays, Lin Mu has no shortage of resources. What he has learned is derived from Tian Zhu Zhenren's "General Outline of Weapon Refining", so he doesn't need to worry about famous teachers. Although his comprehension is not as good as others, he can rely on the five elements of spiritual roots to cultivate to this point, so his comprehension is not bad. What Lin Mu lacks now is actually practice.

Practice only requires hard work, and refining does not even consume too many resources. In this Xuanyue space, there is double time. Lin Mu's advantages are far beyond ordinary practitioners. Even so, he has such a hard time learning, and it is naturally more difficult for others.

This is also the reason why weapon refiners are rare.

In Tianxiao Realm, sword cultivation is prevalent, and the number of other cultivators is not mainstream. But it is precisely because of this that alchemists and weapon refiners, array masters, and talisman makers are more popular and extremely sought-after.

The four-leaf fire lotus burned quietly, pure as snow, and the red flame furnace flashed red light and emitted bursts of hot air.

Several high-level materials in the furnace have melted into liquid.

Lin Mu's face was delicate, and he pinched his fingers with one hand. He stretched out his hand and pointed, and the red flame furnace opened automatically. A ball of red liquid flew out of the furnace. The liquid glowed red, like a ball of fire, burning people's eyes.

Chi!

As soon as the red liquid flew out, a faint white mist appeared around it.

Lin Mu's face was serious, and he began to pinch his hands. He cast dozens of spells in a row, and the red liquid in the air began to change.

The red liquid instantly turned from a ball into a long red strip, and then under the continuous modification of Lin Mu's spells, the shape of a flying sword gradually appeared, a red flying sword!

The red flying sword has smooth lines and the sword body is engraved with ancient patterns. It looks gorgeous.

The first step is formed. Lin Mu is now familiar with it and can do it with ease.

After completing the first step, Lin Mu did not relax at all. The next step is to carve the formation, which is the real test. This step is the most important step in refining a magic weapon. As long as the formation can be carved successfully, the third step of tempering will not be difficult, and a flying sword can almost be considered to be successfully refined.

However, carving the formation is not what Lin Mu is good at.

Before refining this red flame sword, Lin Mu spent three months studying the third-grade formation.

In three months, Lin Mu only learned more than twenty third-grade formations.

The difficulty of the third-grade formation is several times or even ten times more difficult than the second-grade formation. Even with Lin Mu's current consciousness, learning it feels extremely difficult. Each formation has dozens or hundreds of deductions, and each deduction is a change. If all these changes can be realized, a flying sword is enough to achieve both attack and defense, and dodge, pick and chop, and master everything.

"Red Flame Formation" is one of the third-grade formations that Lin Mu has learned.

After Lin Mu found the Red Flame Sword illustration in the "General Principles of Weapon Refining", he decided to refine this flying sword.

The formation engraved on the Red Flame Sword is mainly the third-grade "Red Flame Formation", and the other eight second-grade formations are supplementary.

When refining the more than 30 mid-grade flying swords, Lin Mu had practiced the second-grade formation countless times, and the success rate of engraving was over 60%, so there was no need to worry. Lin Mu had never engraved the third-grade formation before, and he was not sure about it.

The spell was cast out like flowing water, very smoothly. Under Lin Mu's careful carving, the second-grade formations were successfully carved out one after another. Every time a formation was carved out, the Red Flame Sword became brighter, and the red light flashed, attracting people's attention.

Lin Mu carved eight second-grade formations in one go.

Before, Lin Mu could only carve two second-grade formations at the same time, but today he successfully carved eight at once!

With such luck, Lin Mu couldn't help but be more serious.

Perhaps, he hopes to successfully refine a top-grade magic weapon for the first time!

Nothing is absolute.

Is it inevitable that a novice will face failure? Can't a novice also be tough once?

Lin Mu is willing to give it a try.

Lin Mu's face is solemn and serious as he casts the spells continuously.

The spiritual power was like a talisman pen, wandering in the red flame, carving out smooth lines. Under the urging of Lin Mu's magic formula, the lines appeared clearly and freely, the red flame sword began to flash red, and crisp sounds floated out from it.

Lin Mu concentrated his mind and calmed his spirit, immersing his consciousness in the flying sword. Every line, under his careful carving, was perfect.

After carving thousands of lines in a row, Lin Mu's spiritual power slowed down, closed his eyes and concentrated, as if he fell into a deep sleep, then suddenly opened his eyes and urged his spiritual power with all his strength. A five-color light flashed, and a spiritual power line was like a giant sword, slashing into the sword body, and a natural chasm flashed out of the sword body.

In the natural chasm, flames floated and red waves surged.

This natural chasm, like a medium, instantly connected to the spiritual power lines that Lin Mu had carved before. Thousands of lines were lit up at once, and the light flashed one after another. The Red Flame Sword immediately shone brightly, and the red light shone brightly, brighter than every time before, extremely dazzling and charming.

The second step of carving the formation was perfect!

Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.

Then he immediately performed the spell and began to refine it.

Refining, for Lin Mu, was not difficult at all.

Under the repeated refinement of spiritual power, the light of the Red Flame Sword became stronger and stronger, and the red light became more and more pure.

Eight hours later.

An exciting and clear sound flew out, and the red flying sword gathered its light, fell from mid-air, and landed in Lin Mu's palm.

The Red Flame Sword was successfully refined!

Lin Mu caught the Red Flame Sword, stood in place, and began to close his eyes and meditate.

This time of refining the third-grade flying sword, he had a lot of insights.

Taking this opportunity, he must absorb and comprehend in time to avoid forgetting.

After a while, Lin Mufang slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of joy.

After this practice, his understanding of refining instruments has reached a higher level.

After a short rest, he began to continue to refine another third-grade flying sword.

Because the formation of the flying sword he refined this time was different from that of the Red Flame Sword, Lin Mu failed five times in a row before he succeeded in refining it.

Lin Mu was very satisfied with this result.

It only took him three days to fail five times.

In three days, he can successfully refine a top-grade magic weapon!

Before, he spent several months to refine a mid-grade magic weapon, but now it only took three days to refine a top-grade magic weapon. The progress can be called a leap, and the difference is huge.

Many things are like this. They seem difficult, but once they are really done, they are just like that. It will be much easier to do them later than before.

After that, Lin Mu could successfully refine a top-grade flying sword every two or three days.

Two months later, there were twenty dazzling top-grade flying swords neatly placed in front of Lin Mu!

These twenty flying swords were specially refined by Lin Mu for the twenty talisman-making disciples.

As for the other disciples, Lin Mu also refined a medium-grade flying sword for each of them.

Putting away the flying sword, Lin Mu smiled and left the Xuanyue Space.

Opening the ban casually, Lin Mu pushed the door and walked out of the wooden house.

Outside the house, Lin's father was raining on the spiritual medicine in the spiritual field.

It has been more than a year since the last harvest of spiritual medicine, and this batch of third-grade spiritual medicine is green again.

This time, Lin's father only planted 300 acres of third-grade spiritual medicine, and the remaining 100 acres were planted with first-grade spiritual medicine.

Among the five people, only Lin's father and mother have not reached the peak of the foundation-building period, but they are not far from it. Three hundred acres of spiritual medicine are enough, and the remaining one hundred acres of spiritual fields are used to plant first-grade spiritual herbs for refining the Gathering Spirit Pill.

In the one hundred acres of spiritual fields in the Xuanyue Space, Lin Mu has also planted several acres of fourth-grade spiritual medicine.

However, the maturity period of fourth-grade spiritual medicine is long, which can take decades or even hundreds of years, and it is difficult to see results in the short term.

Lin Mu went up to chat with his father for a while, and then said that he would take his disciples back to the sect.

Lin's father had expected it long ago, so he smiled and agreed.

Lin Mu then summoned his disciples and distributed flying swords to everyone.

More than forty disciples, each of them has a flying sword, at least of the middle grade!

Among them, Shi Jian was a physical cultivator, so Lin Mu did not help him refine a flying sword, and planned to compensate him later.

Shi Jian had no complaints about this.

The other disciples who got the middle-grade flying swords envied their brothers who had the top-grade flying swords, but they did not hate Lin Mu for it. They all knew what Lin Mu did. If they were not lucky enough to become Lin Mu's disciples, they would probably still be struggling in the sect like those outer disciples. How could they be like now, not only successfully building the foundation, but also learning the third-grade sword tactics, and now owning a middle-grade flying sword.

They are already satisfied with such treatment.

Moreover, all the disciples are also clear-headed. As long as they follow the master, there will be no shortage of benefits in the future!

Fifty disciples, except Gu Chen, the remaining forty-nine are all on the island in the middle of the lake.

Lin Mu sent out the flying swords and asked the disciples to go back to their houses to sacrifice and refine.

Two months later.

On the island in the middle of the lake, the forty-nine disciples gathered together, and all the disciples had successfully sacrificed their flying swords.

Lin Mu said goodbye to his parents with a smile, and then took Shitou, Yunmeng and the forty-nine disciples back to the sect.

More than 50 people, all of whom have cultivation bases above the foundation-building stage!

The sword light flashed, dazzling and bright, and the group of people flew to Qianyu Sword Gate in a mighty manner.
