Can Scientific Cultivators Penetrate into the Second Dimension

Furthermore, the last time I met Zhu Rong was in He Guizong, and 14 years had passed with all my efforts, even if it was just a huge change in temperament, it was not easy to distinguish.

There is only one reason why Zhu Rong came to look for Lin Xiu.

"Senior Ou, are you free now?"

Glancing at Li Hongzhi who had already run away, Lin Xiu resisted the urge to complain, and said calmly, "Yes."

"Great, actually I want to ask senior about He Guizong..."

Looking at Zhu Rong's expectant face, Lin Xiu sighed in his heart, his expression remained calm: "Yes."

Later, after inviting Zhu Rong in, Lin Xiu roughly described the process of the Bianxinan Consular Incident from the perspective of a "casual cultivator".

To be honest, there is not much effective information in it. After all, the core of the Xinan Consular Incident lies in He Guizong, and the information related to He Guizong is not accessible to a casual cultivator. It is inevitable to say a little bit more It will give away his feet, so Lin Xiu just said some things about Suxinzong and Wuyunzong in a light way.

Even if it was just that, the news still made Zhu Rong's face full of worry.

After seeing her reaction, Lin Xiu became a little curious: According to the current situation, she should have been taken away from Heguizong by the "Grandpa Liu" who was suspected of being a Jindan real person before the Xinan leader changed, and went all the way north It is only right to come to Yanlong Pavilion in Suxuanling to stay.

After contacting her in the past few days, Lin Xiu also saw her status in Yanlong Pavilion. It is no exaggeration to say that, except for her cultivation, she is not as good as Zhu Rong now, just like Zhu Zhengqing. Zhu Rong's status in Yanlong Pavilion is not inferior to that of the Foundation Establishment monks at all, and even the Foundation Establishment monks in Yanlong Pavilion often treat her with courtesy for the sake of that "Elder Liu", so much so that they were able to say a word before. It was decided that "Ou Yezi" would join the Yanlong Pavilion, and with such a status, how could he not know what happened in the South of the River?

With this doubt in mind, Lin Xiu made indirect inquiries and realized that things were not as simple as he thought.

"At that time, Grandpa Liu just told me that I was going on a long trip, and asked me to temporarily put aside the mission of the Foreign Affairs Hall, and then take me to leave the sect in a flying boat."

"I didn't know I was cheated until I arrived at Yanlong Pavilion. At that time, I tried to go back alone, but every time I just walked out of the melting dragon mountain range, I was arrested again. Even if I went to Yanlong Pavilion The other senior brothers and sisters asked about Xinanling, they didn't tell me, they just let me rest assured to stay here..."

"But I'm not worried about myself. Everyone in the Foreign Affairs Hall, Junior Sister Xi, Junior Brother Meng, Senior Sister Rou, and Senior Brother Lin...I haven't even had time to say goodbye to everyone..."

As she spoke, Zhu Rong's tone was already slightly nasal, and Lin Xiu could only be silent about it.

You can't tell her that there is a high probability that your senior brother, junior sister and senior sister are gone, and the senior brother is sitting in front of you, right?

It would be acceptable for Lin Xiu to only reveal his identity to Zhu Rong alone. After all, judging from the days of contact in the Foreign Affairs Hall, this little junior sister can already be regarded as Lin Xiu in the outer sect of Heguizong. One of the few people he is most familiar with, the one who really worries Lin Xiu is the "Grandpa Liu" who is suspected to be the real person of Jindan.

If there is no accident, that "Grandpa Liu" should be the "Uncle Liu" mentioned by Su Qingmiao, that is, the Jindan Daoist of the inner sect. He chose to escape to Yanlong Pavilion when the sect was in great trouble and became a "Elder Liu" here, does this mean that he has chosen to part with the past?

In this case, if a disciple from "Tianhe Sword Sect" appeared in his field of vision, how would he react?

Human nature is the last thing to be tested, let alone the price is one's own life.

Therefore, in the face of Zhu Rong's performance, Lin Xiu could only follow the "Ou Yezi" character setting to remain silent to the end.

143. 73000 recommendations for two years

Fortunately, things have passed for such a long time. Even though Zhu Rong is nostalgic for the time in Heguizong, the wear and tear caused by the years is still deep in the memory.

Not to mention how "good" her current situation in Yanlong Pavilion can be described. In the absence of several Jindan real people in Yanlong Pavilion, she herself represents the will of a real person.

After clearing up her emotions, Zhu Rong, who regained her lively nature, asked Lin Xiu a lot about the Xinan Ling and He Guizong. In most cases, Lin Xiu could only use "don't know", "maybe", "should" "Probably" to prevaricate the response, but she didn't care, perhaps more than these, what this former junior sister wanted was someone with whom she could talk and recall the past.

Then, the topic inevitably turned to one thing——

"Is Senior Ou planning to forge and practice the Tianhe Sword?"

"Have this idea, but the power is not enough."

Even a straight sword can be made into a curved shape, which is more than an "impossible"... If it weren't for the initial design of the person, and this "setting" would also be beneficial to my frequent contact with refining matters later, Lin Xiu even wanted to change his "personality" and come back again.

I don't know if she didn't hear the entanglement in Lin Xiu's tone, Zhu Rong encouraged her earnestly: "Senior Ou, you must work hard! When the time comes, I will help you find someone who can use it after you have mastered the Tianhe Sword. Then use this sword to knock down and drive away all those bad guys who have invaded the South of the River!"

"Do your best."

……

After finally seeing off Zhu Rong, Lin Xiu heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the sky.

Before he knew it, another day was wasted. Considering that it would be inappropriate to go to Li Hongzhi again at such a time, Lin Xiu could only seal the stone door of the ground stove, and took out two jade slips from the Qiankun bag to ponder on his own.

These two pieces of jade slips were not gifted by anyone, but one of Lin Xiu's benefits after joining Yanlong Pavilion as a guest. One of them did not record any advanced skills, but some general information about various aspects of Yanlong Pavilion. The description will not allow any guest to make big news one day because he is not familiar with the environment.

The other part is about the foundation of refining equipment. As the skill that Yanlong Pavilion is best at and proud of, it is very likely that nine out of ten monks who choose to join Yanlong Pavilion will have something related to refining equipment. Thought, at this time, in order to keep the enthusiasm of these newly joined Jiji Keqing, it is necessary to give a little "small profit".

It's just that this "little profit" for ordinary foundation-building monks seems so difficult and obscure for Lin Xiu, a guest qing whose level of weapon refining is not as good as that of Qi training monks. He would have thought of asking Li Hongzhi to come over to guide him, but he was interrupted by Zhu Rong who came to visit suddenly just after he started, so now he can only think about it by himself.

"The most important thing in the art of refining is the selection of materials. In this respect, it is somewhat similar to making puppets, but one is gold and iron, and the other is wood and stone."

"Then there is the choice of fire. Different from mortal casting, as long as the temperature is sufficient, monks need not only the temperature, but also the purity of the flame. The flame burned by mortal things is often mixed with a lot of impurities..."

This Lin Xiu can understand, not fully burned.

"Furthermore, the flames that burn in all things do not have aura. Ordinary flames that contain aura are not easily accessible to monks in the lower realm. Only the monks in the Jindan realm can use their own mana to condense the spiritual fire of the level of the true fire of Samadhi. Refining magic weapons, before that, for most monks, the fire of the earth's lungs is already the most cost-effective choice."

Thinking about it, judging from the supply of firepower that would take ten days and a half months to refine a weapon, it must be the existence of the first-level Jindan Daoist to be able to support the consumption with its own mana, otherwise we can only hope to find it. The purity and temperature of the obtained earth lung fire are sufficient to meet the needs.

It is precisely because of this that the Yanlong Pavilion, which occupies the three hundred miles of the Ronglong Mountain Range, has such a status.

With the rich "energy reserves" of the Melting Dragon Mountain Range, plus the "technical reserves" of a group of craftsmen, they can make a lot of money every year just by renting out the stoves and selling magical instruments, and there is no need to use them. Go out and compete with others for that little profit.

Of course, doing so is not without cost. Among other things, Yanlong Pavilion consumes incalculable resources every year to maintain the earth-level furnace, and the strongest monk in Yanlong Pavilion is only in the middle stage of Jindan. There is no need to use that level of ground stove.

Under such circumstances, it is clear at a glance why Yanlong Pavilion spends so many resources every year to maintain the Tianzi-level furnace.

"...It's not easy."

Shaking his head, Lin Xiu withdrew his thoughts, and immersed himself in the study of refining weapons.

In the next two years, Lin Xiu's rhythm in Yanlong Pavilion gradually got on the right track. Although Zhu Rong would come over from time to time to inquire about the affairs of Xinan Ling, Lin Xiu was still able to hide in the ground stove by himself most of the time. It's for practicing inside and adding a refiner.

If you encounter problems that are difficult to solve, you can go out and communicate with the foundation builders around you who are also the guests of Yanlong Pavilion. On issues that don't involve the core, these foundation builder refiners obviously don't mind making friends with a colleague.

If it was a problem that even these Jiji Keqing couldn't solve, then Lin Xiu could only find Li Hongzhi at a small price.

Speaking of which, Lin Xiu only found out later that this Li Hongzhi didn't seem to have a high level of cultivation, but in terms of refining level, he was already ranked among the top three existences in Yanlong Pavilion's inner sect foundation building, otherwise he wouldn't have been He is responsible for checking the refining level of "Ou Yezi".

At the same time, Lin Xiu is also paying attention to the movement in the south, especially the direction of the heart puppet gate.

It's not that he wants to go back and blackmail Xiong Tianyi, but he cares about the reaction of Wu Yunzong.

The lineup of more than a dozen Qi practitioners and three foundation-builders was broken at once. With the current scale of the Wuyun Sect, it may still be within the acceptable range, but it would be hard to say if a fake alchemy monk who is expected to be a golden alchemy is added. .

However, I don’t know whether Wu Yunzong chose to suffer from this boring loss or took some action, but was suppressed by the three major sects led by Suxuan. As far as the results are concerned, there is nothing unusual in the south. The news from Luoguan also indicated that everything was normal there.

"It's fine."

Paying attention to withdrawing from the message from the south, Lin Xiu, who was relieved, was able to return his attention to the problem in front of him.

It's not an imminent problem, but in terms of trouble, it's probably the most troublesome...

That is Lingshi.

144. Refining Equipment and Involution

Thinking back seriously, it seems that the question about Lingshi has almost run through Lin Xiu's entire cultivation career since he started to practice, but at first it was a question of one or two, and then slowly it became a hundred, a thousand. Now, the whole problem has expanded to "ten thousand" as the unit.

It’s not that Lin Xiu doesn’t have any spirit stones on him anymore, including the previous mining from the spirit mine in Xufenggu and the money he extorted from Xiong Tianyi, when he left the Heart Puppet Gate, Lin Xiu’s spirit stone deposits reached an unprecedented 15 No matter how much it is used, it is impossible to squander it in just two years.

Lin Xiu's problem is that the spirit stones have been consumed too quickly in the past two years.

"In just two years, [-] spirit stones have been used up. If this continues, it will be a day and night."

The reason for this situation is also very simple. In terms of cultivation, because there is a ground stove with a quality higher than that of He Guizong, it does not consume too much-Lin Xiu is currently using a Class A ground stove, Yan The price given by the Dragon Pavilion is a guest price, so it is a lot lower than when renting it for casual repairs outside.

But even so, the rental fee will still cost seven to eight hundred spirit stones in one month, and close to [-] spirit stones in two years, which seems to be expensive, but considering that I can borrow it for all aspects (cultivation, hidden swords, refining tools) The completion of this stove is not a loss.

Furthermore, it is also necessary to set up this expenditure in order to meet Ou Yezi's eagerness to practice swords. Besides this large expenditure, in the past two years, in order to refine the five-color clay, Lin Xiu maintained the activities of Ying and others and met with him from time to time. They made some small changes and spent about [-] Lingshi.

The remaining 5000 yuan of spirit stones were all spent on refining equipment.

Seems exaggerated at first glance?

But Lin Xiu didn't know until he got in touch with the refining tool that these [-] spirit stones were just the beginning.

A small part of this expenditure was used to pay Li Hongzhi, entrusting the other party to help him "start a small stove", and most of the other was used by Lin Xiu to purchase refining materials.

Among them, from the high-quality black iron produced in the Ronglong Mountains, to the hundred-forged steel that ordinary people can use, every time Lin Xiu has to pay a sum of spirit stones to buy materials in order to improve his refining level, perhaps it is only The expenditure for one time is not too much, but after two years of accumulation, Lin Xiu has opened the furnace and refined weapons more than a hundred times, and the accumulated spirit stones consumed over time are simply shocking.

This is not to say that every craftsman has to spend so many spirit stones in order to improve his crafting level, that is impossible and not logical, after all, even a monk in the late stage of foundation establishment may not be able to store so many spirit stones Lingshi, let alone those Qi training monks.

Take Tie Ming of He Guizong's Artifact Refining Pavilion as an example. He had acquired an artefact refining skill that was not inferior to Lin Xiu's at the stage of Qi training, but according to his standards, it was naturally impossible for him to pull out such a skill at once like Lin Xiu. Many spirit stones are consumed.

For an orthodox refiner, Lin Xiu's approach is not unacceptable, but the price is too high, and it is impossible for him to persist.

For the vast majority of weapon refiners, slowly accumulating learning is the kingly way to improve the level of weapon refining.

They first use the spirit stones in their hands to buy materials to refine magic tools, then sell the refined magic tools to earn spirit stones, and then use these spirit stones to buy materials... This cycle repeats, although it takes a lot of time A little too much, but there is no need to invest so many resources at once.

Lin Xiu's method is to exchange resources for time. At the cost of the consumption of 20 spirit stones in the past two years, Lin Xiu's skill in refining weapons is not inferior to that senior brother Tie from the refining pavilion. It took him at least [-] years to complete the art of refining weapons. This is based on the premise that he has a good talent for refining weapons. If he is replaced by a general Qi-level cultivator, this time may have to be doubled.

And this high-strength weapon refining also brought troubles to Lin Xiu. The rapid consumption of spirit stones is the main aspect, and the secondary aspect is...how to deal with the trained magic weapon?

Looking at the three Qiankun bags in front of him, Lin Xiu fell into deep thought.

These three Qiankun bags contained nothing else, but the result of Lin Xiu's frenzied refining of weapons in the past two years.

From the first few "miraculous creations" that couldn't even be fixed in shape, they gradually reached the level of "magic weapons" in the eyes of ordinary people, and then to the level that they could be accepted by Qi training monks... to the last few, It was also a magic weapon that Lin Xiu had just completed two days ago, and it was already up to the standard of a middle-grade magic weapon. Even a monk who had perfected his Qi training was willing to pay a certain price to buy it.

If these magical artifacts could be sold, it would be no problem to get five or six thousand spirit stones into the account, not to mention tens of thousands, but what Lin Xiu lacked now was not the magical artifacts, but the channels to sell them.

"Although I thought it would be difficult to have a market near Yanlong Pavilion, and even if there is a market, it would be difficult to sell at a high price under the influence of such a large-scale refiner, but it is too exaggerated."

Thinking of asking Ke Qing to go out on behalf of him a few days ago to the nearby Fangshi to inquire about the quotations he heard from the place that specializes in buying magical artifacts, Lin Xiu felt like scolding his mother.

A medium-grade magic weapon whose raw materials alone cost more than a thousand yuan is actually only willing to buy it with less than [-] spirit stones. If it weren't for the Yanlong Pavilion, Lin Xiu would have suspected it was a black shop.

The cause of all this is naturally Yanlong Pavilion itself. It is not in vain to manufacture [-]% of the magic weapons that circulate in Suxuan Lingfang City in one year. The magic artifacts in the nearby area are in demand. Under such circumstances, the craftsmen in the Yanlong Pavilion are still trying their best to lower the price. The lower the level of magic artifacts, the more so. It’s no wonder that the prices of those purchasers have been suppressed again and again. up.

After thinking about it, Lin Xiu found that he couldn't avoid a long trip.

Although I really want to "retreat" directly to the master of refining and then go out, but Lingshi doesn't allow it. There are two ways to solve the involution. One is to lie flat-I simply don't sell it.

Or, just jump out of this introverted circle and sell these magic weapons in a less convoluted place.

It is not difficult to find such a place in Suxuanling where the consumption of magic weapons is in short supply. You just need to go to the place farthest from Yanlong Pavilion. Regardless of the time spent going back and forth like this, accidents and dangers that may occur on the way have nothing to do with it. So little worrying.

This is Suxuanling, any sect leader can turn into a Suxuanling of scissoring robbers if he covers his face, if he encounters some Jindan real people "on a whim" on the way...

"...How about being more stable? The spirit stones on the left and right are still enough for three years, and it won't be too late to find a way when they are really used up."

145. Ying's Lingshi Recycling Plan God's Formation

Just when Lin Xiu was about to retreat, what he bought from the side room for people's cultivation (one of the standard configurations of a Class-A earth furnace, the expensive spirit stone was not only higher heat and purity of earth lung fire, but also There is a whole set of three rooms and one living room including refining, training, rest, and reception! It can be said that every penny is rewarded), Ying brought Paimeng to Lin Xiu, and stretched out her hand under his puzzled eyes——
