Destiny is ashes

Chapter 426: Weapon Refining Genius (4800, updated today)
If there is any way that An Jing can easily deal with Wu Mai, it must be the "Shen Tong Zhi" in his hand, which contains the accessories of the Zuhuan Sect's Heart Sword Formation.

If An Jing was willing to use his biggest trump card, then it would be easy to destroy just four martial vein monsters.

But An Jing is not so stupid as to waste it.

For other masters, divine communication items are used to deal with strong people of the same level, to force the opponent to use a life-saving trump card or to save their own lives.

Unless it is a supernatural power at the peak of Shenzang's power against a real person who has just entered Shenzang, he can try to achieve certain results. Otherwise, it is just a supernatural power, which is nothing more than a little more effort for the real person Shenzang.

But for An Jing, this is the key to saving his life in the hands of Zifu Shenzang!
Others cannot escape, but he can use the Taixu Channel to travel to another world!

Therefore, An Jing would never use it easily unless it was necessary.

In addition, An Jing’s trump card is naturally the high-yield weapons of the Tianyuan Realm.

According to the actual combat tests participated by the martial arts masters of the Zuohuan and Huangyang sects, the weapons of the Tianyuan realm performed well, and ordinary masters would not be able to escape without putting in some effort. If a country master insisted on showing off and resisting, he would probably be blown to death.

Even though the bodies of martial vein-level monsters are stronger and their demonic energy is more surging, they do not have the wisdom and skills of martial vein masters, and can only be called "wild martial veins" at best.

If wild martial veins encounter the Tianyuan realm's weapons, which are known for their absolute equivalent violence, they will inevitably be blown to pieces.

The only problem is that the force that can blow up the martial veins is probably enough to destroy the mysterious spiritual atmosphere in the Suling Cave. An Jing really wants to rely on the Wanjin formation around the Suling Immaculate Wood to practice the Taibai Haoling Divine Prohibition.

Therefore, unless other methods have failed, An Jing will not easily carry out indiscriminate bombing.

In that case, An Jing can also try to buy the Thunder Talisman in the Tianyuan Realm.

An Jing once used a thunder talisman to kill a Wumai realm evil-born demon. His personal experience was that thunder magic could almost be said to be three-tenths effective in restraining the demon. When fighting, even a Qi refining talisman could easily cause fatal damage to a Wumai monster.

Even though the number of Wuxin Demon Sheds is four times as much as before, and they are not as seriously injured as the Niesheng Demon, An Jing's financial resources are more than four times as much as before, and his strength has skyrocketed by more than ten times.

"My Five Weapons True Thunder is also thunder magic. Although they may not have the same origin, since they are all thunder magic, then I might get some bonus from using thunder magic."

An Jing thought: "And Fu Xie, I remember you tried to crack the Divine Sky Destruction True Thunder Sword Intent that beat my master so badly, didn't you? Have you made any progress yet?"

"Have."

Fu Xie answered straightforwardly: "But this sword intent is too strong. Your body and soul cannot bear it for a long time. The last time I used it to deal with Tianmo Xiuming's clone was just a fragment, so the sequelae were not serious. But if I activate its original sword intent, your internal organs and soul will be partially disintegrated by the Divine Sky Destruction True Thunder."

“I originally thought that I would have to wait until you achieved the Nine Forbidden Qi Refining, unified your body and soul, and obtained the second magical power, Ming Shangyin, before I could barely bear it - but now, there is this Suling Lotus Platform!”

Fu Xie looked at the Suling Lotus Platform in the water mirror, and his tone was full of expectation: "If you can refine the prototype of this magic weapon, not only will I have a place to worship it, but it can also be used to entrust the true meaning of the divine thunder."

"Is that so?"

An Jing could hear that if Fu Xie assisted him, he could actually activate the true meaning of the divine thunder of destruction, and there should be no problem in killing a heartless demon. It's just that the sequelae are too great, and it's not worth it.

If you want to deal with the great demon clone like the Demon Xiu Ming, it is still worthwhile to use your brain and conventional means to deal with some ordinary demons.

"Then use it as a trump card in times of crisis."

An Jing was not afraid of the disintegration of his internal organs and soul. Although that would be painful and would consume his original essence, he had cultivated his foundation so deeply just to be able to withstand the loss at the critical moment: "Besides that, I also have to go to the Tianyuan Realm to prepare some more thunder talismans."

"Besides that, the Nalong bottle must be made soon."

"It's best to be cautious."

Fu Xie agreed, "Although your spiritual energy reserves are far superior to those of your peers, when facing multiple martial vein monsters, the more prepared the better."

"As long as we are well prepared, we can unleash our power and kill a Heartless Demon in seconds, then travel to the Tianyuan Realm to recuperate for three days, and then return to the foot of the mountain and continue to attack."

"Yeah." An Jing nodded slightly. This was also his plan. "By the way, is this Wuxin Demon Metamorphosis very weak? Why aren't you nervous at all, Fu Xie? Even though you asked me to prepare more, you looked like you were going to eat them to death."

"In fact, it is very strong. Although the Heartless Demon Metamorphosis's body is slightly weaker, its demonic energy is more powerful than that of ordinary monsters. It can easily infect and corrupt a town."

"But...how?"

Fu Xie pondered for a while, then said: "It is heartless, that is to say, it has no brain."

"The heartless demonic transformation usually occurs in insect demons. Insect demons are eroded by the demons, and in order to escape the infection, they will choose to transform into pupae."

"Some succeed, leaving the demonic energy in the pupa, and the main body sublimates and sublimates. Instead, they regard the infection of the demon as a calamity and an opportunity, and step forward to a higher level - the pupa left behind is the 'heartless demon molt'."

"Because it didn't eat any of the insect demon's memories or soul, this demon has an overwhelming demonic energy but no brain at all. It can only act in an extremely simple, almost puppet-like way."

"If it doesn't work," An Jing asked curiously, "will it also cause the Heartless Demon Transformation?"

"Yes." Fu Xie said, "But such a demonic transformation is similar to a ghost, without its own independence, and will be controlled by the demon that devoured the insect demon to fight."

"Look, the four Heartless Demons have shed their bodies. It's obvious that the big snake shed them on its own initiative. It's quite unusual. Only two or three of the ten insect monsters can succeed. It has succeeded four times in a row and is on its fifth time."

Fu Xie signaled An Jing to look at the water mirror, in which four snake-shaped demonic shells were moving slowly under Xi Yin's lens.

The first snake shedding had wings but no horns or claws, and it had the most powerful demonic energy, which was obviously a remnant of Shuo Yueying's first transformation.

The second snake shed its four wings and had a single horn, and the demonic aura was second.

The third head had four wings and two horns, with dragon thorns growing on its back. At first glance, it already had the vague shape of a dragon.

The fourth snake shed even grew two feet, and many people would believe it if people said it was a dragon shed.

The more complete the transformation is, the less demonic energy there is, but the stronger the magical power it contains. Especially the fourth magical power, the demonic energy is not that strong, and the restraint of thunder magic may be discounted, but there is still a powerful golden energy surrounding its body, making it the most difficult to deal with.

But just as Fu Xie said, the movements of these demonic creatures were extremely rigid, with no changes from beginning to end. They would only circle back and forth in a fixed area, without any intelligence at all.

If you have to say it...

"A passerby character in the game that only has a fixed action template?"

An Jing understood it using the words of his previous life, and suddenly felt smoother: "Then there is indeed no difficulty except for the numerical value."

"And their most powerful demonic energy, even with the protection of the anti-evil field and the ghost scale inner armor, may not be very effective against me."

"Indeed." Fu Xie agreed with An Jing's evaluation: "And you see, these demonic molting wounds - the places where the original bodies shed their skins, are their 'caves'. As long as you smash them, they will collapse on the spot."

Good guy, powerful but stupid, with major mechanical weaknesses. This immediately made An Jing feel relieved.

The observation of the demon sheds continued. Every hour, the four demon sheds would launch an attack on the Pure Spirit Wood, and then they would be repelled by the Pure Spirit Wood. Then they would rest for an hour and then continue to attack, repeating the cycle endlessly.

Although the Su Lingmu didn't seem to have much consumption, according to Xiyin's detection, its spiritual strength was still decreasing - according to the current frequency, in about a month and a half, the defense strength of the Su Lingmu would be reduced to below the dangerous value and could be broken by the Demonic Sheds.

"Luckily we arrived early."

At this moment, An Jing once again felt the importance of his quick action - if he could not integrate Linjiang City as quickly as possible and deal with the problem of the demonized beasts in the beast tide, then he would probably be overwhelmed in the next month and a half, and at most he would be able to deal with the problems related to the beast tide. Not to mention discovering the spiritual objects in the Suling Cave, he might not even be able to start the exploration of the Broken Blade Mountain.

One step fast, every step fast. After An Jing confirmed the intelligence, he immediately returned to Linjiang City and began to prepare the corresponding military equipment.

The Taixu Channel is still cooling down. His primary goal is to learn how to refine equipment and make the [Nalong Bottle].

After An Jing came to the refining room prepared for him by Bai Qinghan, which had spiritual fire and a full set of blacksmith tools, he learned a shocking fact from Fu Xie.

——He actually already knows how to refine weapons.

"What does it mean?"

An Jing was a little confused, and Fu Xie's explanation was also very direct: "Taibai Haoling Divine Prohibition is a method of strengthening the body using the body as a tool - what do you think this means?"

An Jing understood. This meant that the Taibai Haoling Divine Prohibition itself was a method of refining weapons.

If he can use his own body as a tool to refine magic, then refining ordinary magic tools will be a piece of cake for him.

Of course, looking at the specific details, there are still differences between body refining and equipment refining.

"The world has produced countless spiritual materials, and the essence of refining is to transform them into the form we need."

"The furnace fire is the 'heart of the instrument'. The heart is fire, and the flame is rising. It is the spirit that bursts forth from the Qi and penetrates the instrument. Therefore, spiritual fire is needed to refine the instrument. The better the spiritual fire, the stronger the power it can provide to the instrument."

"The blowing wind is the 'lung of the instrument'. Lung is gold, which is called transformation. If there is no blowing wind, the furnace fire will not be strong, the mind will not be strong, the raw materials will not be melted, and the shape cannot be changed as desired. Special spiritual gold requires special wind to calcine, and the combination of them is the secret of the major sects."

"The material for quenching is the 'Kidney of the Instrument'. The Kidney is water, which means it moistens the body. Without the final quick-condensing water, the metal cannot condense, the fire cannot disperse, and the Wood of the Instrument, that is, the vitality and spirituality, cannot be nurtured. In the end, it cannot take root and sprout, penetrate all parts, and be contained as a whole, that is, it returns to the Earth of the Instrument."

Fu Xie used the simplest method of the five elements to explain the essence of refining to An Jing: "The human body has its own five elements. Although Taibai Haoling Divine Prohibition is essentially the supreme book of metal, it does not exclusively respect Taibai. You should carefully recall the process of your practice, and then regard the magic weapon you want to create as an embryo, shape it bit by bit, and imprint the magic prohibition on it..."

"Wait, you can do it?!"

While Fu Xie was explaining, An Jing got started right away.

He lit the spiritual fire and took out the ore. This spiritual fire was called "Stone Marrow Fire", which was the fire taken out from the nucleus of the earth fire burning deep in the earth. The ore was refined black iron mixed with the essence of mountain copper. They were all part of the reserves of the Linlang Chamber of Commerce, and now they were cheap to him.

An Jing raised his hand and used the Shaoyang sword technique to circulate the fire in his pupils, urging the stone marrow fire to ignite the furnace fire. Then, with the body of Taibai Haoling God, he directly grabbed the Xuantie Mountain Copper and reached into the furnace fire, using his physical body to sense the temperature and intensity of the fire. After getting a good grasp of it, he took out the semi-melted copper and iron and placed it in the crucible on top of the furnace to continue refining.

There is no need to be as complicated as a mortal craftsman. With An Jing's control over metal and precise manipulation ability, he can remove all impurities in the spiritual material and refine it in an instant with just a wave of his hand.

After removing it, it only takes a thought, and the golden red molten iron flies out of the crucible and falls into the field to take shape.

During this process, if it is a mortal blacksmith, he has to forge the raw material while it is gradually cooling down, so as to further quench out impurities and shape the alloy.

But for weapon repairers, what they need to do in this process is not to "forge the weapon embryo", but to use their own spiritual power to drive restrictions into the raw materials.

Just as An Jing created countless Taibai magic bans in his own body and gradually filled his entire body, he also had to infuse his spiritual power into the embryo and imprint the various effects he wanted.

In an instant, An Jing poured one hundred and eight Taibai evil spirits into the embryo in one breath - this was already the carrying limit of the Xuantie Mountain Copper, and these evil spirits condensed into restrictions at an extremely fast speed, so fast that even Fu Xie was surprised.

The duration of the organ embryo brand restriction is limited. If it cools down completely, it is equivalent to the baby growing into an adult. It has been finalized and cannot perfectly meet the requirements of organ repair. Although it is still a person, it is considered to be wasted.

If you heat it up again, the restriction will be broken, which means you have to start all over again and open a new account.

Only during this brief window of time, when all restrictions are removed in one go, can a good magic weapon be created - so most weapon cultivators have demands on the soul, and it is best if they have quick eyes, sharp swift hands, and agile movements.

An Jing is different, he has the power of heaven.

Thinking speeds up. For other instrument cultivators, the fleeting window period is enough for them to determine all their ideas, and then they can take action slowly and imprint all the restrictions on the instrument embryo.

For weapon-refining monks, the pain points of mortal skills do not exist at all. What restricts their weapon-refining ability is simply their cultivation level and the ability to control it in detail.

But for An Jing, the difficulty of ordinary weapon cultivation does not exist for him - this is the real magic of Zhitianshi, which can not only be used for combat training, but also for refining weapons and elixirs and even drawing talismans and setting up formations.

It is a truly omnipotent magic. As long as An Jing still needs to think and operate, Zhitianshi will definitely be his greatest help.

"It's done."

Finally, An Jing grabbed the already formed embryo, which was a hot and blazing sword blade, with his bare hands and put it into the quenching pool. Suddenly, bursts of white smoke rose up, with a hint of invisible murderous intent hidden in it.

He raised his hand, and the pitch-black iron sword blade had been forged. Although it had not been sharpened yet, it was emitting murderous aura. Wisps of white gold air dripped from the edge, like clouds and fog, but extremely sharp.

"'Qi Blade' and 'Steady'."

After doing all this, An Jing looked at the sword in his hand with satisfaction: "Two practical restrictions, I didn't expect that I could refine a double-restricted magic weapon in my first weapon refining. It seems that I have a good talent in weapon refining."

——What’s so good? Are you a freak?
The main thing was that Fu Xie had no body. If he had a body, he would have been shocked a long time ago - because in fact, he had not even started to teach An Jing how to refine weapons. He just said a few words to him about the general principles of refining weapons.

and then?
Then An Jing relied on the general outline and really made a magical weapon!
What does this mean? It is about as difficult as reading a book by following the table of contents, figuring out the general plot of the book by yourself, and understanding the central idea of ​​the book!

"Fu Xie, Fu Xie!" An Jing noticed that the sword spirit's attitude was a little strange, so he raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "How did I perform? Was it good or bad?"

"…I was going to say 'ok'."

Fu Xie was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "I lied to you that this was normal so that you could continue to work hard - but think about it carefully. It was me who promised you that I would let you become a monster beyond genius. It doesn't make sense for me to suppress you after you really become a monster beyond common sense."

"So I'm telling you the truth, An Jing. You were born to refine weapons. I've never seen anyone who can make a magical weapon right after hearing a few general principles of refining weapons... The Seven Evil Tribulations shouldn't have any power over refining weapons? You shouldn't have been a blacksmith in your previous life, right?"

"It's really not."

An Jing grinned. He only knew that he was a martial arts master on the battlefield. He was very skilled in using various weapons and could dismantle a gun with his eyes closed. However, being able to assemble and dismantle guns had nothing to do with blacksmithing. "As long as I don't disappoint you, that's fine."

"Disappointed? I'm so surprised." Fu Xie could only sigh: "With your talent, I think you will be able to make the Nalong Bottle by tomorrow afternoon."

But He still underestimated An Jing's talent.

It only took An Jing one morning to make the Nalong bottle.
