Chapter 206 Refining the Five Elements Flying Sword and Promoting to the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment
After explaining Zhang Chuanhong's affairs, Zhang Lie drove Jianyun back to Xiaohuangshan.

A few days later, Zhang Lie heard that Bai Wenjing built the cave near the small barren mountain, but he didn't take it seriously, because he would devote all his attention to refining the Five Elements Flying Sword to improve it. On the matter of rank.

Back then, brother Fang Ang, the swordsmith of Jinhong Valley, was full of talent.

He not only tailor-made and designed the Five Elements Flying Sword for Zhang Lie, but also set up an upgrade design for the Five Elements Flying Sword in advance.

Zhang Lie and Fang Ang have an inseparable friendship with each other, and the Five Elements Flying Sword is tailor-made for him, and of course the content of the method is not hidden from Zhang Lie.

Therefore, Zhang Lie, who also has quite a lot of sword casting experience and level of refining, can refine and upgrade the Five Elements Flying Sword himself.

The reason why it has been delayed for so many years is because the Five Elements Flying Swords are connected to each other with sword qi, and if they are damaged, they will all be damaged. The difficulty of refining is many times that of a normal third-order middle-grade flying sword.

This time it took 20 years to release the family mission, consuming a lot of family good deeds and spiritual stone resources, and finally gathered five pieces of fourth-level refining materials with five elements attributes. Refining.

In the small barren mountain, in the fire room surrounded by dark red light.

Chiyang Valley is very rich in earth fire resources, otherwise it would cost at least tens of thousands of spirit stones just to open up the earth fire chamber.

The third-order spiritual vein and the ground fire are the treasures passed down by the two Zhang families in the Chiyang Valley of Huangshan Mountain. Without these two favorable geographical resources, the Zhang family may not be able to pass on the inheritance today.From this, it is also faintly visible that whether the family ancestors have a long-term vision or not has a great influence.

In this ground fire room, there are five huge bronze smelting furnaces on all four sides, and in the center, there are five phosgenes floating in the void, all of which are flying swords with fierce and powerful sword aura: Five Elements Flying sword.

Although these five flying swords are low-level third-level swords, they have been used by Zhang Lie for many years. The sword powers of the five elements strengthen and influence each other.

At this time Zhang Lie walked slowly into the ground fire refining room, with one hand in front of him and the other upside down, looking up at the five-mouthed five-element flying sword floating in the void.

For a while, it seems to be caught in the past memories:

"The first Huodefei sword was given by Master Qisha Taoist. At that time, I was also given the Chilian Sword Art..."

"The second Shuiyunfei sword is a gift from my friend Fang Ang..."

"The third bite..."

"The fourth bite..."

The more he contemplated, the stronger the sword intent and aura centered on Zhang Lie's body became. During the echo, the five flying swords on the central altar in the underground fire room gradually buzzed, as if they were fighting with the sword master. resonance.

"Chong!"

The sword of suddenness, a flying sword on the altar flew upside down, and fell into Zhang Lie's hands. When the two met, the burst of sword energy immediately increased tenfold.

In the surrounding void, it seems that flashing sword shadows suddenly appeared, and the void slashed with extreme ferocity.

Jinghong, Yimu, Shuiyun, Huode, and Xuanhun, the five five-element flying swords, were all sword weapons of the second-level Qi training stage in the beginning, but they just accompanied Zhang Lie step by step to today, and they helped Zhang Lie break through the tribulation , Zhang Lie also raised them step by step to the level of third-tier sword weapons.

However, the potential of the five flying swords used to this day has reached its limit. If it cannot be reborn, it will return to life.

Then the Five Elements Flying Sword will become less and less practical for Zhang Lie.Even the innate stellar energy contained in the body is almost more powerful than them.

At this moment, Xuanhun, holding the Earth Flying Sword in his hand, stabs out with a sword. This sword-style sword move is ordinary, but driven by Zhang Lie's full power, the faint yellow sword light seems to contain the roar of thunder. The power of the sword is as powerful as a mountain, and its power is overwhelming.

From the beginning to the end, after the completion of this set of sword tactics.

Xuan Hun flew out, and another flying sword flew back into Zhang Lie's hands. Although it was still powerful, it seemed to be displaying the power of the sword in another way. , with an indestructible sharp edge, slashing wildly in all directions, criss-crossing.

The third sword was issued, and a blue aura came out of the water-blue sword light. A huge cold force suddenly froze all the surrounding air into a nearly liquid and solid state, and it was continuously absorbing and compressing a large amount of air. One point, condensed into a blue sword circle showing endless murderous intent.

The fourth sword was issued, this sword was silent, but the sword energy it brought filled the void in a form that was difficult for ordinary people to detect, like countless vine fibrous roots, driving the vitality of heaven and earth within a radius to continuously circulate and shuttle, interweaving into network.

The first sword is earth, the second sword is gold, the third sword is water, the fourth sword is wood, and the fifth sword is fire!
Earth begets gold, gold begets water, water begets wood, wood begets fire!
Yimu flies back, and Huode arrives again.

The blazing fire of this last sword seemed to ignite everything, erupting the infinite potential of sword power laid down by the previous four swords together, arousing the flames and shadows in the entire ground fire refining room to dance vigorously.

Crash, clatter, accompanied by the Taoist robe whirling and fluttering, Zhang Lie jumped onto the altar in the center of the refining room, and accompanied him to hold the formula on the forehead and between the eyebrows.

Five lines of five-element sword lights all around him suddenly soared, and then flew towards the five huge bronze refining furnaces around them.

"He Ding!"

With the control of the Taoist in the center, the five refining furnaces on the four sides were closed and rotated, and the flames under them were burning, causing the temperature in the room to rise rapidly.

The method of improving the Five Elements Flying Sword has been in Zhang Lie's hands for decades. During these years, Zhang Lie would carefully study and study this method when he was not practicing mana. Up to now, he is familiar with all aspects of it.

In addition, for the Five Elements Flying Sword, Zhang Lie is even more familiar with it like observing patterns on his palm. The combination of these two conditions makes this sword training difficult, but the chance of success is not low.

"Open the furnace!"

Standing on the central altar, Zhang Lie swung his palms from the dantian to the surroundings, and the mana brilliance scattered out and merged into the surrounding furnaces.

The five-element flying swords are connected with each other and must be refined at the same time, and the Dao pattern mana circuit in it is far more complicated than ordinary third-order magic weapons. I don't think it's so difficult, and I don't even think it's easy to handle, and there is no confusion in the technique that may appear in the expected.

However, this is just the beginning of this refinement
Time passed day after day. During this process, monks could take a short rest, but if there was a change in the refining furnace, they had to respond immediately, so they couldn't sleep well.

Zhang Lie has a strong physique, a firm mind, and powerful mana. In addition, he consciously cut up his rest time, cutting the sleep that should have been a night into dozens of small pieces for rest. In this way, he lasted for more than forty days in one breath. .

But at this time, Zhang Lie was no longer in the relaxed state he was in the beginning.

Along with the consumption of spiritual power, the personal status of the monks continued to decline, but the refining formulas to be used became relatively more and more difficult, complicated and profound.

At this time, Zhang Lie finally discovered Fang Ang's biggest problem with the design of the Five Elements Flying Sword. He designed a complete set of Tier [-] flying swords, but the difficulty of refining and upgrading was hardly something that a Foundation Establishment cultivator could complete.

"Why don't you just give up. Although giving up the Five Elements Flying Sword is ruined now, the five fourth-level refining materials can be kept. The loss is not too big!"

Such a thought suddenly popped up in my heart, but in the next moment, Zhang Lie had already beheaded him with his heart sword, and he never existed again.

If five low-grade third-grade flying swords and five fourth-grade refining materials were destroyed, the loss would be so great that even a monk like Zhang Lie, who hardly worried about spirit stones, would suffer for many years.

But even if the flesh hurts, you can't break your heart, or you don't do it. Now that you have done it, you have to do your best and do your best.

After extreme fatigue and exhaustion, people will have a short period of recovery. Based on this, Zhang Lie lasted until No. 60.

On this day, he finally couldn't hold it anymore.

Take out the Jingyuan and Qi-invigorating pills that have been prepared a long time ago from the Qiankun bag.

Swallowed together, the effect of the third-grade top-grade elixir is extraordinary. Not long after Zhang Lie took those two elixir, a trickle of magic power was absorbed into his dantian, and at the same time some Blood color finally appeared on his pale face.

At this time, Zhang Lie lightly patted the Qiankun bag on his waist.

Five spiritual lights of various colors flew out, and five pieces of fourth-level high-quality refining materials, accompanied by Zhang Lie's mana, were thrown into the four bronze refining furnaces.

Accompanied by the refining of the high temperature of the earth fire, the five pieces of fourth-level high-quality refining materials quickly melted and softened, turning into the essence of various attributes, and pouring them on the magic sword in the furnace.

When things got to this point, it would be useless for Zhang Lie to repent even if he wanted to. What's more, he didn't have the slightest thought of repenting.

The more dangerous the situation, the more calm you will be.

Feeling that he was already extremely weak, Zhang Lie held the formula in his dantian with one hand, lifted up, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of pure magic power.

The mana presents five-color brilliance that changes continuously, and then suddenly flows into the five refining furnaces around it, which is the Hunyuan Five Elements Qi.

"The heart of the sword penetrates the mystery, reverses the sword energy, and condenses the shape of the plastic vessel!"

After doing all this, Zhang Lie stopped waving spells into those bronze refining furnaces, but sat down cross-legged. On the contrary, the five bronze refining furnaces around him gradually spread fiery red, earthy yellow, water blue, The color of wood green and pure gold, at the same time, the vibrations are endless from time to time.

On the 60th of No.[-], who made the magic weapon, in the five bronze refining furnaces on the four sides, each of the five-colored swords diffused a rising sword. Wandering meanderingly, wandering like a snake towards the refining room, in the center, on the young Taoist sitting cross-legged.

It turned out that the sword energy flowed back to benefit its master.

These 69 days have been too difficult and bitter. Fang Ang’s design was wrong, and he exhausted the spiritual sense, mana, and energy of the craftsman to the limit, so that the sacrifice reached the last step. Zhang Lie’s background is so profound. The male monks all have a feeling of being completely drained.

Fortunately, in the end, it was finally a sword practice.

At this moment, the five-color sword brilliance reversed and returned, and Zhang Lie used the sword heart to pass through the profound energy to convert the sword energy into mana. After recovering a certain amount of mana, he stopped absorbing the sword energy and absorbed the world in the void. Qi machine, start to practice again.

In the process of refining the flying sword this time, all the mana bottlenecks in the foundation-building realm have been broken, and no pills or spirit stones have been used. Zhang Lie is recovering himself bit by bit in the most primitive breath. Sense Mana:
The early stage of Qi training, the middle stage of Qi training, and the late stage of Qi training.

The second floor of the foundation, the fourth floor of the foundation, the sixth floor of the foundation... When I practiced again to reach the peak of the eighth floor of the foundation, the purple heart magic power in my body suddenly and naturally turned into a fork, following a familiar path. The route that seemed a little rusty again started the cycle again, breaking through the state of the previous limit of mana.

"Huh." Slowly opened his eyes, Zhang Lie's face showed a little surprise, but he didn't expect that the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment, which he thought would take some time to slowly polish, was actually in this sword practice. In the process, he made a breakthrough.

Since then, his own cultivation has officially stepped into the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

But it's normal to think about it. The difficulty of refining the sword this time is almost no less than Zhang Lie's fight to the death with an early-stage cultivator in the Zifu. The sword failed, without the return of the sword radiance, even if Zhang Lie himself survived, he would have to lie down for ten or twenty years to recover, which is almost equal to the failure of the attack on the Zifu Realm.

"rise!"

With a gesture of raising his hand, the Taoist shouted softly, and the surrounding sword lights of pure gold, wood green, water blue, fiery red, and earthy yellow suddenly flourished, and flew out of the furnace the next moment.

The upper half of the five heavy and huge bronze furnaces flew out in response, hitting the upper wall of the equipment room with a "boom", changing their shape visibly with the naked eye.At this time, the five-color sword light seemed to be given life, hovering around Zhang Lie and dancing around endlessly. Promoted to Tier [-] Top Grade.

"The five-element flying sword of this grade can be raised to a terrifying level under my envoy, especially the world's magic tools, most of which belong to the five elements. As long as they are restrained, most of the world's magic tools It can all be broken."

With these five self-refining, the most satisfying flying sword is in hand.Zhang Lie is conceited that most of the early-stage cultivators of the Purple Mansion in this world can compete with him. However, in the process of refining the flying sword, Zhang Lie also discovered that there is still a lot of potential left in the skills he cultivated. Well, under normal circumstances, any kung fu would not make such a preliminary design, but now that this phenomenon occurs, it means that there are places in the kung fu that I have never clearly understood.

"...But this matter can only be put aside for the time being. It is time for me to leave the test. Although my spiritual power has recovered, my physical potential has been depleted a lot. If this continues, my vitality will be damaged."

...

When Zhang Lie came out of the refining room, he met Qin Suxin, a concubine outside the cave, who was full of anxiety and worry.

It was only at this time that I realized that I had spent two years in my sword practice retreat this time.

"Did it take that long?"

"That's right, it took me two months to adjust my body and mind in the refining room, and it took me only 69 days to actually refine the flying sword. However, in the subsequent practice, I recovered my mana little by little from the Qi training environment to building the foundation. Ninth floor, this time is innumerable, practicing kung fu, taking bigu pills, comprehending thinking, practicing kung fu... Sure enough, there is no time in the mountains."

Thinking of this, looking at Qin Suxin in front of him, Zhang Lie took her hand apologetically and said, "Sorry, I made you worry about Suxin."

"Master devotes himself to cultivating the immortal way. He has lofty aspirations. Su Xin only wants to be happy for you. Now this kind of attitude makes the master feel upset."

Qin Suxin was born in the world of immortality, and was trained as a monk and concubine since she was a child, so her pursuit of seeking immortality is far more than others. Even if she has no hope of reaching this path, she still hopes that the master she serves, can arrive.

But Qin Suxin is still a woman after all. At this moment, seeing the master who has always been fierce and fierce, and will almost never see words such as hesitation and weakness, now he is almost fractal. At that time, his heart ached. Tears kept falling like pearls.

"You always cry so much."

Sad to sad, after clearing up her emotions a bit, Qin Suxin helped her master back to the cave, and then let the other waiters take care of her, while she cooked herself, and quickly cooked seven or eight delicious and delicate dishes for Zhang Lie, in a small bucket Rice, and a jar of fine wine.

If a person is seriously injured and has lost a lot of vitality, there is still a problem that food is difficult to overcome, but people who practice Taoism are not so fragile. Zhang Lie eats normally, and within this short period of time, his originally slightly pale face recovered. normal.

He wasn't hurt at all, not even his body vitality was damaged.Of course, taking a lot of bigu pills in the past two years is still not good for the body.

"In the past two years, what has happened at home? Fourth Uncle, how is your health recently?"

Taking delicious food and savoring Qin Suxin's excellent craftsmanship.Zhang Lie asked casually, but he also knew that nothing major would happen, otherwise, Qin Suxin would have forced her way into the crafting room long ago, and it would be impossible for her to endure it outside.

"In the past two years, the family has developed smoothly, and nothing major has happened. I often go to see my fourth uncle's old man. He is healthy and has a good appetite. Husband, don't worry too much."

"However, something happened the year before. The younger sister of the Bai family who was near the Jade Bird Peak next door was spotted by a monk from the Wei family when she was out to play, and she insisted on begging the younger sister of the Bai family to be his first daughter. The fourth concubine, met by Uncle Chuanhong, defeated and humiliated her with a sword, and in the past two years because of this incident, she has been making a fuss and making everyone unhappy."

When saying these words, Qin Suxin observed Zhang Lie's expression carefully, and felt relieved when she saw that her husband was only listening to him, and there was no abnormality in his expression.

"This kind of thing is not a big deal. We are all natives of Huanglong County, and the Wei family will not really get into trouble with our family because of this kind of thing."

From here, it can also be seen that Bai Hongju of the Bai family is smart. The Bai family can't keep the beauty like Bai Wenjing. If Bai Wenjing hadn't taken refuge in the Zhang family in Chiyang Valley this time, she might have to be someone else. The fourth concubine.

After Zhang Lie refined the flying sword and was promoted to the ninth level of foundation building, he spent another two months in the Xiaohuangshan Cave Mansion to cultivate and adjust his breathing.

People eat each other when they are hungry!
A few simple words in the history books describe a hellish scene.

In a world without gods and gods, from ancient times to the present, regardless of whether it is ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, every page of history is densely written with the word cannibalism.

It's not an abstraction, it's not a reference, it's really eating people alive, because otherwise, the remaining people would not be able to survive.

Fortunately, because of the existence of immortal cultivators in this great Xuanhuang world, there is usually no large-scale famine in this world.

Three years of severe drought, the imperial court will present the Wanmin Book to the Xiuxian sect in the place where it is located, and there will be monks in the Nascent Soul Realm, who will transform into rainbows and fly away, pump water from the East China Sea, travel clouds and spread rain for thousands of miles, and relieve the drought.

After three years of severe flooding, there will be a wandering monk who will break the river with one finger and change the river course to benefit one side.

The three-year locust plague, when it becomes too big, will also alarm the immortal cultivators in the place to solve it. It is not just about accumulating merit and virtue, but the mortal population is the foundation of monks. Immortal cultivators are also unlikely to sit back and watch their own property suffer huge losses.

Therefore, mortals in this world may be killed by monsters breaking through the city, or they may die from the arrival of heavenly demons from outside the territory, or be sacrificed by the blood of living beings.

However, the astronomical disasters in the normal feudal era were difficult to kill them in large numbers.

It's just that there are exceptions to everything. This time, a small country in the west was engulfed by the tide of beasts. Without the protection of immortal cultivators, mortals can't fight against monsters at all. They can only carry out large-scale population migration. , let alone being killed and devoured by monsters.

Just the migration of a few million mortals has already caused a large number of people to die and suffer heavy casualties. In a catastrophe year, there must be a catastrophe.

Because of the beast disaster in the west, millions of mortals migrated. Although due to the long distance, they did not migrate to Huanglong County in large numbers, but the plague caused by the death of a large number of people came with the arrival of a small number of migrants.

Zhang Lie had only been recuperating in Xiaohuangshan Cave Mansion for two months, when he received a jade talisman from his family. When he opened it, it was the summoning order of the patriarch and a brief description of the situation.

Zhang Lie went out of the cave to have a look, but saw that Qin Suxin had also changed into her Taoist robe and came out with a long sword on her back.

"The patriarch also summoned you?"

"Husband, don't underestimate people. This time I'm not fighting against people, but to avoid poison. I'm also a Zhang family foundation cultivator. When encountering such a thing, how can I stay out of it? And my alchemy skills may not be inferior to your husband's." .”

"Also, husband, please go to Blue Bird Peak and bring that little sister of the Bai family with you. For this matter, if there is one more foundation cultivator, you will have more strength."

Half an hour later, three escaping lights flew towards the Chiyang Valley of Huangshan Mountain.
