Chapter 637 Refining
Although it is the end of autumn and winter is about to enter, the weather in Taklamakan is still unbearably hot, and huge gusts of wind often rage in the desert. In this season, in the desert where Zhong Yuan is now, basically It is very difficult to see humans appearing again, and this is why Zhong Yuan chose to come to this place!

The sweltering heat outside had no effect on Zhong Yuan in the oasis at all. After a good night's sleep in the bone disc, Zhong Yuan started the official refining of the magic weapon. If the previous refining of the materials was just a preparatory work, The next refining work is the highlight. Refining those materials and clocks can take a break according to the normal rest time, but once the refining work officially starts, resting is probably a luxury before the refining work is completely completed. up!

The refined materials were taken out by Zhong Yuan one by one, dozens of materials, large and small, the most conspicuous ones were not gold, silver or other materials, but the mustard stone refined by Zhong Yuan, the original gray mustard stone Shiben should be the most inconspicuous one, but now the mustard stone seems to be covered with a faint mist, making people unable to help but look at the mustard stone at first sight!

Because it was the first time to refine something like a magic weapon, Zhong Yuan carefully counted all the required materials several times, and also took out all the crystallization of spiritual power he carried on his body and put it aside. It is best to replenish in time to prevent excessive consumption of mental power!

The long time of material refining has improved Zhong Yuan's control over the golden flames a lot. With a light wave of his hand, several balls of flames of different sizes were released by Zhong Yuan, and several materials on the ground almost immediately flew into the air. Into the flame, the melting time of each material is different, Zhong Yuan naturally can't take out the material and melt it when it needs to be used, these materials that fly into the flame will be used soon!

The shaping of materials is the simplest in the entire magic weapon refining work. With the assistance of Zhong Yuan's refining power, the shaping work of several materials is basically completed in just a few minutes, and the next step is the most important part of the whole magic weapon. The formations were arranged. The reason why Zhong Yuan described the refining of this magic weapon as the construction of the Great Wall is precisely because the entire magic weapon needs tens of thousands of formations. Everything is clearly recorded, and Zhong Yuan only needs to copy it down. However, with tens of thousands of formations and the huge amount of spiritual power that needs to be consumed, the refining time of Zhong Yuan's magic weapon may take a long time. !
As one formation after another was drawn by Zhong Yuan, the speed of Zhong Yuan's drawing formation gradually increased, one day, two days, three days... Time passed day by day, and placed in front of Zhong Yuan The same materials were also thrown into the flames. Although most of the materials had been shaped and drawn by Zhong Yuan, they were kept in the flames by Zhong Yuan. Can't see what Zhong Yuan is going to refine!
It wasn't until Zhong Yuan melted down the last remaining material, fine gold, and combined the previously refined parts together in a certain order, and was completely wrapped in fine gold, that the shape of the magic weapon was finally finalized. Slowly revealed, it turned out to be a - tower?

That's right, it's really a pure golden octagonal nine-story pagoda. The entire pagoda is only about one foot high. It's shiny golden and looks very flamboyant. There's even a golden plaque hanging on the corner of each pagoda. little bell.

The shape of the magic weapon is almost out, but if you look closely, you will find that although the shape of the tower is basically fixed, starting from the top of the tower, there are some complicated and mysterious lines extending downward at a very slow speed!

The appearance of these lines was not intentional by Zhong Yuan, but the lines naturally produced by Zhong Yuan after drawing formations on the tower according to the requirements of the production of the magic weapon. The temporarily irregular lines look strange. The beauty makes people involuntarily indulge in it, but no one can appreciate it at this time, even Zhong Yuan doesn't even know what the magic weapon looks like now, he only knows how to make it step by step according to the production method of the magic weapon!

It has been half a month, and it has been half a month since Zhong Yuan entered the Taklimakan. Except for the first few days of refining materials, Zhong Yuan has not rested for more than a week since the official refining began, and it is worth gratifying Yes, Zhong Yuan's magic weapon refining work has officially come to an end, and the small pagoda surrounded by golden flames in front of Zhong Yuan is already covered with mysterious lines, and these were originally formed naturally under the influence of the formation. The formed lines now look extremely symmetrical and regular, as if they were deliberately drawn!
The tower has 9 floors, but on the tower, you can only see a door on the bottom floor, and you can't even see a window on the other houses, but I guess people don't care, because no matter how you look at this small tower It seems to be just a decoration, as long as the overall effect looks good, it will be fine?
After working without sleep for a long time, Zhong Yuan looked very tired as a whole, but now Zhong Yuan was very excited. The long march of thousands of miles had finally completed more than half of it, and now it is ushered in the final stage of the entire magic weapon refining process. The important task is to activate the formation in the magic weapon and stabilize the final form of the magic weapon!
No matter how similar the shape of the magic weapon is, the most important thing is the actual function of the magic weapon. If there is a problem with it, or the function is missing due to insufficient ability, then Zhong Yuan's efforts for so long will really be in vain , that small tower is probably doomed to only become an ornament!

Taking a deep breath, looking at the crystallization of mental power around him that has not been touched much, Zhong Yuan sucked up a few crystals with his mental power to replenish his energy, and then, with a bit of frustration in his heart, he drained his mental power from the small pagoda. The portal of the small tower penetrated into the small tower, and in just a moment, Zhong Yuan's thought power came to the ninth floor of the small tower, and found the position of the space formation made of mustard stones in the small tower. Without any hesitation, the magic circle Started by Zhong Yuan!
The entire process of starting the formation was very smooth, and Zhong Yuan felt very familiar with it. The moment the formation was activated, gray mist suddenly appeared in the ninth room of the small tower, and Zhong Yuan's thoughts instantly appeared in the gray area. In the fog, but for some unknown reason, the gray fog seems to be very repulsive to Zhong Yuan's thought power, and there is no trace of gray fog around Zhong Yuan's thought power at all!

Zhong Yuan naturally knew the reason for this. Zhong Yuan's thought power is where the space without gray fog is the final size of the space after the magic weapon is refined, and what Zhong Yuan needs now is to expand the area of ​​the space , the size of this space in this magic weapon in the future can be judged by this!Of course, the formation method and the amount of materials used before have a direct relationship with the size of the space!

In the end, this space was only expanded by Zhong Yuan to an ordinary room, and it stopped. It was so big that it could be expanded again, but Zhong Yuan felt that it was unnecessary. This magic weapon has nine floors, which means that every There will be such a space at a time, and these spaces are all connected to each other, which can be regarded as a layered and deformed space, so each space must be very stable, blindly seeking to be bigger, and any one of them will go wrong , the other few will follow suit!

Zhong Yuan expanded the space layer by layer from top to bottom. The more he got to the lower floor, the accumulation of space began to get bigger and bigger. The ninth floor was only one room in size, and the eighth room was two rooms in size. On the ninth floor, the size of the space was close to the size of a football field, but Zhong Yuan felt that the expansion of the space hadn't reached the limit at all!
One after another, the crystallization of spiritual power melted around Zhong Yuan like ice cubes, and the space on the ninth floor of the small tower was also slowly expanding. However, he didn't notice any abnormalities around him at all. As the space slowly expanded, some ripple-like things appeared in the space around Zhong Yuan. It felt like someone was throwing stones on the water, except for some What's different is that these ripples in the space around Zhong Yuan appear abruptly, and disappear just as abruptly, if that's all there is to it!
When a slender ripple appeared on the side of the hut not far from Zhong Yuan, a shocking thing happened. As the ripple moved to the wall of the hut, there was no sound at all. The wall was cut by the ripples, but the ripples were not blocked by anything, and soon appeared obliquely on the other side of the wall again, and not long after the ripples appeared, the hut made of fresh grape vines Half of it also fell towards the ripples along the traces drawn by the ripples, and the part of the hut that fell on the ripples was also torn open by the ripples in an instant, as if using an extremely sharp The magic soldier who cuts tofu is generally silent!
Not long after the hut was destroyed, the ripples within [-] meters around Zhong Yuan began to appear more and more frequently. From time to time, branches around the pond could be seen abruptly falling from the trees, and there was even a Populus euphratica. The trunk was scratched obliquely, and the whole Populus euphratica fell obliquely, inserted into the yellow sand next to it!
The only thing that is more fortunate is that, for unknown reasons, the nearest ripples that appear are also one or two meters away from Zhong Yuan, as if there is some force around Zhong Yuan that is repelling those ripples from appearing, otherwise Even if Zhong Yuan encountered these ripples, it’s hard to say what the end result would be. Just look at the bone plate under Zhong Yuan’s body. A ripple passed by it near the edge. There was also no sound, and neither was the bone plate. Any movement was broken, and water began to enter the osseous disc along the gap!

This has to be said about Zhong Yuan's concerns when refining this magic weapon. The reminder in the jade slip is one aspect, and Zhong Yuan's caution is another aspect. If such a situation occurs in a small valley, and there are people around him... ...!
