Chapter 1322: Eighteen Methods of Immortal Treasure Sublimation
In a corner of the inner square, there is also a huge silver refining furnace. Under the refining furnace, a pale green flame is burning, and under the flame, there is a green spring, which is the ice soul liquid separated from the two-color river.
Xiao Lin secretly guessed that the silver alchemy furnace should be the soul weapon.
At this time, several people walked out of the square. The leader looked to be in his seventies or eighties. He was also extremely tall and strong, with white hair and beard, but his face was very ruddy, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes.
Several people came to Xiao Lin. Before the old man spoke, Ji Hongzhuo next to him said, "This is the great elder of our Shenlian clan, and also the patriarch of our clan."
"Junior Xiao Lin, meet the great elder."
Xiao Lin did not dare to neglect it. The old man in front of him seemed to be kind, but the aura he exuded made Xiao Lin feel frightened.
The only person who could make him feel this way was the Five Fire Ancestor.
In other words, the white-haired old man in front of him was at least in the early stage of the Tribulation.
"My friend, please follow me." The white-haired old man waved his hand and walked directly to a stone house next to him.
Xiao Lin followed him and entered the stone house. The white-haired old man was already sitting cross-legged on a cushion.
After Xiao Lin came in, he pointed to the cushion in front of him and said, "Please sit down."
Xiao Lin bowed and saluted, then sat down in front of the old man.
After Xiao Lin sat down, the white-haired old man smiled and said, "Can you tell me where the Hell Order in your hand came from?"
"It was given to me by the patriarch of the Shao family, Senior Shao Pengzu." Xiao Lin answered honestly.
"So that's how it is. This Hell Order was given to Shao Pengzu by me ten thousand years ago. I have been waiting for him to come for so many years. I didn't expect that after ten thousand years, he didn't come, but you brought the Hell Order here."
After a pause, the white-haired old man suddenly asked, "Are you also a human?"
"I am indeed a human."
"Well, this doesn't go against my original intention. The Hell Order was cast by me using the Five Spirit Essence Stones. There are three sides in total. Two of them have been taken back and destroyed by me. Only the one in your hand is left. If you have any requests, you can raise them."
Xiao Lin fell silent after hearing this. He was constantly calculating in his heart.
"Don't worry, my friend, but you can say it." The white-haired old man said with a smile.
"Xiao Lin wants to inherit the weapon refining technique of the Shenlian clan."
"Oh?" The smile on the white-haired old man's face paused slightly, and then he said: "It seems that my friend has done his homework and actually knows the weapon refining technique. The weapon refining technique is the secret book of our Shenlian clan. There are three volumes in total. The upper volume records the refining process and material list of 108 magic tools from the first-level fairy treasure to the sixth-level fairy treasure, while the middle volume records the refining process of 72 types of magic holy tools and ghost blood tools. In addition, there are 18 types of rare magic tools in the spirit world. The refining process and materials list are the treasures of our Shenlian clan. It can be said that the weapon refining technique is the crystallization of our Shenlian clan's countless years of experience. As for the second volume, it is the secret of our Shenlian clan and has never been passed on to others. "
After a pause, he continued: "If the weapon refining technique is spread out, it will probably attract countless forces to compete. Even if you get the secret book of weapon refining technique, you may not be able to keep it."
Xiao Lin was shocked when he heard this, and wondered if this old man wanted to break his promise and was unwilling to pass on his weapon refining technique.
Before he could speak, the white-haired old man looked at Xiao Lin and said with a smile: "I am not stingy with a book on weapon refining. Although weapon refining is precious, it is not something that everyone can learn. Without a certain talent, some high-level and top-level magic tools in it are also difficult to refine. Moreover, the conditions required to refine magic tools of different grades are also varied, and some are extremely harsh. It is impossible for a cultivator to master them all in his lifetime. So I give you a suggestion. Of course, if you insist on having the complete upper and middle volumes of weapon refining, I can agree. But if you encounter disasters in the future, please don't blame me."
"Please speak, senior." Xiao Lin said immediately when he heard that the white-haired old man wanted to give him a suggestion.
"You are so deliberate and want to refine weapon refining. I think you need to refine a third-level defensive soul weapon in order to impact the fusion realm?"
Xiao Lin's heart moved, but he did not deny it, but he did not answer.
The white-haired old man obviously didn't need his answer, but continued: "But relying on the Hell Order, just for a third-level defensive soul weapon, it's too wasteful. How about this, I can teach you the refining process and complete material list of nine kinds of fairy treasures and magic tools, as well as the refining process diagrams and material lists of nine kinds of soul tools, and I can make an exception and let you choose a refining process diagram and material list of a magic tool from the catalog of the second volume of the weapon refining technique, how about it?"
Xiao Lin showed a thoughtful expression on his face. The white-haired old man gave him a very obvious choice. One is the two volumes of the weapon refining technique, and the other is the refining process diagram and material list of nine fairy treasures plus nine soul tools, plus the refining process diagram and material list of a magic tool in the third volume.
This put Xiao Lin in a dilemma for a while. You know, the refining process diagrams and material lists of the Shenlian clan are all priceless. Needless to say, if he has the upper and middle volumes, even if he doesn't refine them himself, but takes out a few process diagrams and material lists and sells them, he may be able to exchange them for a large amount of spirit stones.
However, Xiao Lin is also very interested in the lower volume of the Shenlian clan's secret refining technique.
The upper and middle volumes record the refining methods of the primary and intermediate fairy treasures. Then the lower volume records the refining methods of high-level fairy treasures, which are from the seventh to the ninth level.
Just thinking about it makes Xiao Lin's breathing a little hurried. The Yin-Yang Hetian Guiyuan Mirror in his hand is only a fourth-level fairy treasure, but it has already cost Master Ti Han his life's energy.
If he could obtain a refining process diagram of a fairy treasure of level seven or above and refine it, Xiao Lin would be able to greatly improve his combat power after advancing to the fusion stage.
Of course, it is not easy to drive a fairy treasure of level seven.
What Xiao Lin actually wanted most was not the refining process diagrams of these fairy treasures. He wanted to improve the grades of several of his magic treasures through the top-level refining techniques of the Shenlian clan.
The Qingluan Ice Thunder Sword is only the quality of a first-level fairy treasure at the moment, and the Nine-sided Purple Thunder Star Shield is only a second-level fairy treasure. Xiao Lin has no idea if he wants to improve it further.
If he can find a way to quickly improve the grade of magic treasures through refining techniques, Xiao Lin would rather give up the refining process diagrams of those fairy treasures.
For him, whether it is the Qingluan Ice Thunder Sword, the Purple Thunder Star Shield, or the Soul Condensing Mirror, they are all magic weapons that he is used to, and he does not want to refine them again.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin said, "Senior, the Shenlian clan is proficient in various weapon refining techniques and is well-known in the spirit world. It is also rumored that the Shenlian clan was originally one of the top clans in the fairy world, but the clan members are spread all over the heavens and the worlds. I am not here to covet the weapon refining techniques of the Shenlian clan, nor am I greedy to obtain all the weapon refining methods. I would like to ask the senior if there is a way to quickly improve the quality of fairy treasures and magic tools?"
"Methods to improve the quality of fairy treasures?" The white-haired old man was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he quickly understood Xiao Lin's intention.
"Young friend, you are used to the magic weapon in your hand, and you don't want to change it, but want to improve its quality?"
After Xiao Lin nodded, the white-haired old man smiled and said: "The spiritual objects of heaven and earth, in fact, are just like us living beings, and can all be improved through cultivation. This is the way of heaven, and it is also a path of advancement left by the master of the dark for living beings. The same is true for spiritual treasures. After the magic weapon is upgraded to a spiritual treasure, it has spirituality. In the final analysis, the quality of the material is not the main thing. Just like us cultivators, if we pay attention to cultivating immortals but not gods, we will die in vain. If the fairy treasure wants to be upgraded, then its spirituality must be manifested, and then it can be self-evolved through cultivation. In this process, it is also a kind of tempering for itself, just like the body of our cultivators. As the realm is improved, impurities are constantly removed, and excellence is constantly sought. One day, we will achieve the realm of immortal bodies and ascend to the fairyland."
When Xiao Lin heard this, his heart moved, and he actually felt a sense of enlightenment.
The white-haired old man is worthy of being the great elder of this divine refining clan. His attainments in refining instruments have reached the pinnacle.
In his eyes, magic instruments are no longer dead objects, but living creatures like cultivators. Living creatures can improve their realm and evolve themselves through cultivation, so why can't magic instruments do the same?
This is just like those spiritual medicines. Ordinary spiritual medicines only accumulate medicinal power through a long period of time, while those unclassified spiritual medicines that are born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can give birth to spiritual wisdom and self-cultivation. One day, they can even complete their merits and ascend to become immortals and become a medicine immortal.
This is the case with plants and creatures, so it is natural that magic instruments with spirituality can also be used.
Xiao Lin had never thought about it this way before. When a magic instrument was just refined by a cultivator, it was indeed a dead object. The cultivator controlled it through his divine thoughts. As time went by, the magic instrument gradually gave birth to a trace of spirituality. At this time, the magic instrument could absorb some spiritual energy from heaven and earth and attack the enemy on its own.
In this way, when a cultivator drives a magical instrument with spirituality, he can save some mana and divine power.
Moreover, for a cultivator, a magical instrument with spirituality is more flexible to drive, and it is as easy as a finger.
After the advancement to the immortal treasure, the spirituality of the magical instrument is further improved, and the spirituality in the magical instrument has been branded by the cultivator, just like the immortal cultivator's soul clone, the flexibility and power will be greatly improved, compared with the magic weapon, it can be said that there is a fundamental improvement.
Just like Xiao Lin's 108 Qingluan Ice Swords, all of them are deeply branded with his divine mark. Unless the power of divine thought exceeds ten times, the mark can be forcibly erased by absolute divine power, but in this way, the spirituality of the flying sword is also erased, and the flying sword is transformed into ordinary iron, and its power is almost completely lost.
The white-haired old man's words awakened Xiao Lin, making him suddenly realize that after a magic weapon is upgraded to a fairy treasure, the support of external forces becomes secondary, and its own self-improvement is the key.
Seeing Xiao Lin's surprised expression, the white-haired old man smiled slightly, and a golden light flashed in his hand, revealing a golden book, only half a finger thick, with a few ancient seal characters on the cover [Eighteen Methods of Immortal Treasure Sublimation].
"Although it is feasible to upgrade the grade of immortal treasures, they are not living beings like us after all, and there are still many limitations. Ninety-nine percent of immortal treasures cannot sublimate and evolve on their own, and need to use some methods and means, and this process is also very long. In the spiritual world, the high-level immortal treasures driven by the top-level cultivators basically have to be cultivated for tens of thousands of years or even longer before they can be successfully sublimated. There are also many immortal treasures that fail to sublimate. Once they fail, they will never be able to further upgrade their grades. Therefore, the higher the grade of the immortal treasure itself, the more likely it will be able to be sublimated one day in the future. The probability of advancing to the ninth-level fairy treasure will be slightly higher, which is why we are constantly seeking to refine high-level fairy treasures. "
"This book [Eighteen Methods of Immortal Treasure Sublimation] records some of the methods of sublimating fairy treasures known to our Shenlian clan. I can give it to you as a reward for returning the Hell Order, right?"
Xiao Lin did not reach out to take it, but a smile appeared in his eyes. After understanding Xiao Lin's request, the white-haired old man immediately took out this book [Eighteen Methods of Immortal Treasure Sublimation], wanting to use it to replace the weapon refining technique. How could Xiao Lin be easily dismissed?
Xiao Lin smiled slightly, bowed his hands and saluted before speaking: "The method of sublimating immortal treasures is indeed a timely help to me, but the most urgent thing for me now is to refine a defensive soul weapon to resist the combined heavenly tribulation. I am not greedy. I only want to get the process diagrams and material lists of nine soul weapons in addition to this method, and select a magic weapon refining process diagram and material list from the second volume of the weapon refining technique. What do you think, senior?"
"Haha."
The white-haired old man heard this, but he was not angry. Instead, he laughed and looked at Xiao Lin with approval.
"You are extremely intelligent, and you stick to your original intentions and are not moved by external things. This determination alone is precious. Moreover, I have observed you for a long time, and I am afraid that your real age is no more than 3,000 years old. You are really young and promising. Your future is limitless."
"Thank you for your praise, senior. I have encountered many twists and turns along the way, but I have also met many respected people like you who have supported me. Only then can I reach my current level. In the final analysis, I have also had a lot of luck." Xiao Lin sighed softly and spoke.
Xiao Lin's words were extremely powerful. He not only complimented the white-haired old man, but also attributed his own achievements to luck. He was humble and low-key. In this way, the white-haired old man could not refuse Xiao Lin's request.
"Okay, I agree." After talking with Xiao Lin, the white-haired old man was very impressed with this young man of the human race. The Shenlian clan actually had a close relationship with the human race, otherwise he would not have given the Hell Order to Shao Pengzu.
But he didn't know that Shao Pengzu had already fallen in the hands of this young man in front of him.
