I am a sword fairy in the age of doom

Chapter 9 High Grade Dark Iron
The morning light is faint, and the red sun is rising.

The rich aura condenses into a rare spiritual mist, wandering among the mountains and rivers, at this moment, whether it is flowers, trees, or birds and animals, it benefits a lot.

Jiang Mu sat cross-legged on the flying boat, running his exercises, absorbing spiritual energy, because the speed of transforming mana increased by [-]%, so his daily practice homework attracted a lot of spiritual mist, covering the whole body, covering several square meters Baizhang, viewed from a distance, is like a dragon drawing water, which is magnificent.

After a long time, Jiang Mu waved away the spiritual mist, revealing his figure. At this moment, it is difficult for him to conceal his demeanor, and there is a faint dao rhyme in every gesture.

Only in the eyes, there is a look of helplessness.

"I have practiced in the middle of the night until now, and it has only been three hours before and after. It is actually worth the three days of hard work in the past. Unfortunately, I only have ten years. Good luck tricks people."

After saying that, Jiang Mu rose against the wind and arrived at Qingxi Bieyuan in a blink of an eye. At this time, the disciples also finished their morning training. Cheng Banjin and the other two registered disciples on duty prepared the spirit tea and breakfast.

Jiang Mu also needs to eat. Although ordinary people think that immortal cultivators can feed on the wind and drink the dew, but in fact this is a falsehood.

Immortal cultivators internally cultivate mana, nourish the soul, strengthen the meridians, and externally cultivate the muscles, bones, lungs, blood and bone marrow. Because the body is extraordinarily strong, they also need to supplement various foods and elixirs that contain spiritual energy.

Only in this way can we prolong our life and maintain the vitality of our physical body.

This is also the reason why there are a large number of spiritual grass and spiritual rice fields in the mountain gates of each Xiuxian sect, and a large number of rare birds and beasts are cultivated.

The cost of cultivating a foundation-building cultivator is enough to meet the needs of hundreds of mortals for a lifetime.

But when the tide of aura erupts and the aura of heaven and earth disappears, it really cuts off the root of the immortal cultivator to go against the sky.

For a simple example, a Jindan state, with full aura and no internal injuries, can live for [-] years, but after the aura dissipates, it can live for at most a hundred years without aura replenishment for a long time.

A Nascent Soul Realm can normally live for a thousand years, but after the spiritual energy dissipates, if there is no spiritual energy to replenish, it can live for more than two hundred years at most.

A person in the state of transforming gods can normally live for three thousand years, but after the spiritual energy dissipates, if there is no spiritual energy to replenish, he can live for more than three hundred years at most, and he can live for more than five hundred years.

As for the legendary Void Refining Realm, Jiang Mu has never seen it before, so he doesn't know much about it.

As for the above, it is still absolutely impossible to do it, and it cannot consume mana, otherwise it will be even less.

In short, cultivating immortals is already a dead end.

After breakfast, Jiang Mu explained some key points of practice to the registered disciples, and then took them to the back mountain to smelt black iron. This is also a routine homework. By smelting black iron, the disciples can better grasp Control mana.

At this time, Jiang Mu would do it himself, and today is no exception.

Smelting black iron consumes a lot of mana. The young disciples who just started this year just feel the atmosphere of collective labor here, and then under the leadership of Cheng Banjin, they can catch butterflies all over the mountains and plains, roll somersaults in the soft grass, or climb trees Touch the birds, go fishing in the river.

For two or three years, this will be their happiest time.

Back then, Jiang Mu also came here like this.

As for the registered disciples who have been in the sect for ten years, as well as direct disciples, many of them went to work.

There is no standard, it will end when the mana is exhausted, it doesn't matter how much black iron is smelted.

So in just one hour, most of the registered disciples finished their smelting, and only those who had reached the foundation establishment stage could persist.

After two hours, Jiang Mu himself was the only one who could persist. In his previous life, as long as he had nothing else to do, he could smelt ten pieces of medium-grade black iron every day, and he could smelt one piece of high-grade black iron in about three days.

Among them, the low-grade and middle-grade black iron are sold, and the high-grade black iron is for personal use.

Today, Jiang Mu didn't make much effort, but felt that mana control was more proficient than in his previous life. In three hours, he didn't smelt a piece of low-grade black iron, but instead smelted a piece of high-grade black iron.

"This……"

Jiang Mu felt that he still had [-]% mana left, and was quite surprised.

After thinking for a long time, he felt that it should have a lot to do with his current xinxing. Although he had gone out to the mountains in his previous life, before he encountered a catastrophe, he was really a fool of cultivating immortals.

And after going through a lot of suffering, if he can't get twice the result with half the effort and start over again, then he is really hopeless.

"If so..."

Looking at the piece of black iron in his hand, whose quality even faintly surpassed that of the top-grade black iron, Jiang Mu sighed in his heart. With this kind of quality, it can be sold for hundreds of spirit stones for one piece in the auction market, while the low-grade black iron can be sold normally. The price is only three or five spirit stones.

"But this matter needs to be kept secret from the elder brother."

Putting this piece of black iron into the reserved jade talisman, Jiang Mu stepped out of the smelting hall. Many disciples outside had already left by themselves. You can make some magic tools and charms for yourself, or do nothing, it's up to you.

After dinner, there will be evening class. After evening class is over, everyone except those who are on duty can go to rest. It goes on and on, it's that simple.

According to Jiang Mu's past habits, he would basically lead the whole process of refining black iron for three days, mining jade for two days, and going down the mountain for three days for short-distance training.

So the relationship between him and his disciples is very good.

But now, he has set up the guardian hall, the deacon hall, and the experience hall, but he doesn't have to do everything by himself.

So--

Jiang Mu turned his head and glanced at a grass reed a few miles to the south, which was the practice place of senior brother Yao Cheng.

After thinking for a while, he turned around and entered the smelting hall again. In the past few months, he was unable to carry out any important plans, which could not affect the determination of the big brother to hit the Nascent Soul Realm.

Therefore, after handing over the affairs of the sect, he should seize the time to smelt more black iron. This kind of material is extremely important even in the age of desolation.

In the smelting hall, Jiang Mu sat down cross-legged, pinched the magic formula with his hands, worked his mind, and guided the aura of heaven and earth to restore mana. In a moment, the aura of heaven and earth in his meridians was like a dragon galloping, rolling into the golden core, In a blink of an eye, it turned into pure mana again, and after a stick of incense, all the mana lost before was restored.

This speed is at least twice as fast as in the previous life.

Standing up, he looked at the teleportation circle in the smelting hall. Below the smelting hall is the black iron ore vein, but the immortal cultivator does not need to enter the mine vein to mine ore, nor does he need mortal coolies, nor does he need to be secretly imprisoned and captured. Other cultivators came to be mine slaves, because that was too backward.

What they use are all mechanical mountain beasts, which are driven by spirit stones. A mechanical mountain beast can mine day and night, and can mine tens of thousands of catties of ore every day. One spirit stone can be used for a month. Don't worry about it for a few years.

The mined ore can be transported through the short-distance teleportation circle, and the ore can be transported from the underground cave hundreds of miles deep to the Qiankun Furnace in the smelting hall.

This Qiankun Furnace operates automatically, and can carry out preliminary quenching and decomposition of the ore, and the residue will be sent back to the ground to fill the abandoned mine. Refining until it forms low-grade, middle-grade, and even high-grade black iron.

This process has lasted for more than 3000 years. Yes, the short-distance teleportation circle, the Qiankun Furnace, and the mountain-creating beasts below were all bought by the founder of the Fuyun Sect more than 3000 years ago. They are old-fashioned things.

In the previous life, except for Jiang Mu, a strange head who likes to temper black iron for nothing, the heads of all generations and the elders of the sect didn't like to do this kind of thing, so no one thought of changing it, as long as it can be used.

Only Jiang Mu will study it and try to update it.

In his last life, it seemed that two years later, after the gold-swallowing beast Yao Cheng was gone, Jiang Mu finally replaced all the Qiankun Furnace, the Mountain Opening Beast, and the Teleportation Formation of the Xuantie Vein. times, the quality of the smelted black iron has also improved a lot, and even close to the best black iron can be smelted.

It can be seen from this that the times have changed, and we still have to look forward.
