Chapter 210: Refining the Magic Sword
In Qingling Market, Zhang Mo presided over the overall situation.
Qian Xiaotong was concentrating on preparing for the foundation-building matters.
Mo Chen began to slowly organize the establishment of Qingling Mercenaries.
With the core team, Cao Rui was able to hone his alchemy and refining skills in the training tower.
Time passed day by day.
On this day, Zuo Du, the star envoy of Xingyuemen, finally came, and brought with him 200,000 spirit stones.
"Master Cao, you also know that it is difficult to find spiritual pattern crystals nowadays."
"Within a year, we will gather some of the refining materials for the Lingyin Jade Pendant and the signal tower. I hope you can help refine them when the time comes." Zuo Du said.
Cao Rui nodded slightly.
He naturally knew that spiritual pattern crystals were difficult to find, so in the future, they would need to gather all the refining materials themselves.
In this way, the problem of finding spiritual pattern crystals was handed over to them.
Zuo Du added: "In addition, Xuantian Zhenzong and Xuanyuemen may come to visit you in the near future, and even slander our Xingyuemen to snatch the agency rights. I hope Master Cao will consider it carefully."
Cao Rui smiled faintly, "What I value most in Qinglingfang City is the spirit of contract. You Xingyuemen can rest assured about this."
In fact, these two sects did find Cao Rui.
However, the eastern part of Yunzhou is just Cao Rui's pilot project. Cao Rui has not yet broken through the golden elixir, so everything must be done steadily.
Cao Rui did not even meet the envoys of the two sects, and only let Zhang Mo deal with them.
Of these two sects, Xuantian Zhenzong is needless to say. It is the first sect in the eastern part of Yunzhou. According to Zhang Mo, the envoys it sent are high and mighty, and their attitude is extremely arrogant.
It also said that as long as Xuantian Zhenzong is given time, it will sooner or later be able to create its own 'Spiritual Sound Jade Pendant'. Cao Rui laughed it off.
Xuanyuemen Sect is different. It begged Cao Rui humbly and was even willing to give a higher agency price.
There is actually a reason for this.
It turns out that the Xuanyue Sect and the Xingyue Sect were originally from the same lineage. About two thousand years ago, due to some complicated reasons, they split into two sects and began a two thousand year long struggle.
Therefore, no matter what happened to the Xingyue Sect, good or bad, the Xuanyue Sect would always want to intervene.
Hearing Cao Rui's response, Zuo Du didn't know what he was thinking, but he was relieved.
After talking about the business, Zuo Du started to talk about private matters: "Master Cao, my Xingyue Sect ancestor recognizes that you are one of the few heroes in the current Yunzhou Xiuxian world. I want to find an opportunity to meet you. I hope Master Cao will agree."
"Oh? It is an honor for a Jindan master to meet me."
"I don't know how to meet." Cao Rui said.
Zuo Du said: "The ancestor will find an opportunity to come to the southwest of Yunzhou to meet the master in person."
Cao Rui thought to himself that if he came, he could meet him.
"In that case, I will wait for good news." Cao Rui nodded.
Zuo Du said goodbye and left.
Cao Rui's storage bag had another 200,000 spirit stones.
Many of them were medium-grade spirit stones.
Cao Rui's personal assets exceeded 300,000 spirit stones for the first time.
A few days later, the refining materials for the five magic swords arrived from Sun Ming.
He paid Sun Ming 48,000 spirit stones.
Cao Rui soon returned to the cultivation pagoda in the center of the town, and he began to prepare to refine the five magic swords.
To refine the five magic swords that can form the Great Five Elements Sword Formation, it is necessary to solve two problems: refining materials and refining magic formations.
Now that the problem of refining materials has been solved, it is equivalent to completing half of the task.
As for the magic formation, Cao Rui has already mastered the magic formations of the golden sword and the fire sword and has reached the perfect state.
However, there are some problems with the magic formations of the water sword, the wood sword, and the earth sword. Some magic formations may be missing, and some may even be completely absent.
However, this will not cause him too much trouble. Because even if these arrays cannot be perfectly refined now, they can be slowly added later.
For the second-level magic swords, as long as their materials are strong enough to withstand the power of Cao Rui's Great Five Elements Sword Array, that is enough.
Even if the array is not engraved, the power of the second-level magic swords made with the materials of the Great Five Elements Sword Array is definitely far superior to that of the first-level magic swords.
"Then, first of all, the golden sword."
In the refining room, Cao Rui took out the refining furnace and began to take out the materials for refining the golden sword.
"The arrays engraved on the golden sword are the second-level [Swiftness] and the second-level [Sharpness]."
"I have already perfected the two arrays."
"Let's see how many arrays can be engraved on the golden sword."
The general number of engraved arrays on the second-level magic sword is more than ten.
Cao Rui's perfect second-level refining technique [Spiritual Pattern Casting Source Jue] plus the perfect second-level array, Cao Rui is confident that the second-level magic sword he has refined is definitely the top one.
"Rise!" Cao Rui shouted softly, pinching the magic formula with both hands, and the powerful magic power in his body surged out, instantly transforming into fire attribute spiritual power.
In the refining furnace, blazing flames suddenly rose up, and the hot flames illuminated the entire space red.
"Go!" With his low shout, the control of objects was performed, and the materials of the second-level golden sword slowly entered the refining furnace in a specific order like a golden torrent.
These materials were carefully selected and processed, and each piece flashed a dazzling light and exuded a strong metallic smell.
The difficulty of refining a golden sword is relatively low, because the fusion of metal and flame can speed up the smelting speed.
In the refining furnace, the gold material quickly melted into liquid, forming a group of dazzling metal liquid balls.
These liquid balls kept rolling and flowing under the scorching flames, and gradually merged into one.
Half an hour later, all the materials for refining the gold magic swords were melted and turned into a huge ball of golden liquid.
Cao Rui's face showed a trace of fatigue, but his eyes were extremely firm. He knew that the next step would be the real test of his skills.
Taking advantage of this gap, Cao Rui took out a bottle of purple spirit pills, swallowed it in one gulp, and quickly practiced the skills to absorb the medicinal power in it to restore his consumed mana.
It takes a lot of mana to refine a second-level magic weapon. If there is no sufficient support from the pills, it would be difficult to complete this task.
Generally speaking, ordinary cultivators need at least the late stage of foundation building to perfectly refine a second-level magic sword. Only with such a strong strength can you maintain sufficient energy during the refining process and ensure that every link is done to the extreme.
Although Cao Rui was only in the middle stage of foundation building, he was still able to do this with his mana and consciousness far exceeding those of his peers.
"Shaping!"
Cao Rui used the [Spiritual Pattern Casting Source Technique] to shape the golden sword and began to condense the array patterns.
A second-level array [Swift], a second-level array [Sharp].
Repeating this process, starting from the hilt, the sword body, the sword tip...
A drop of sweat dripped from Cao Rui's forehead.
A few days later.
Buzz.
Accompanied by a light sound.
The golden sword in front of Cao Rui was completely formed, and Cao Rui finally completed the engraving of all the arrays. With his greatest ability, he engraved the maximum number of arrays that could be engraved!
