Chapter 36 Retraining the Magical Weapon
Carving the magic inscription on the soul is the most difficult step. It can only be done after reaching the golden elixir realm. Before that, there was only the moment when the soul left the body. There are not so many requirements for the subsequent steps. As long as the soul can bear it, it can be practiced to increase the characters of talismans and seals.
Shi Xuan recalled the first seal character in the second stage of Xiaoyou Qingfeng Dun, and slowly, the cloud-shaped seal character began to emerge in his soul.
This talisman seal script only has some of the characteristics of ancient cloud seal scripts, but it is still complex. Shi Xuan just failed to control it a little bit, and this talisman seal script disappeared.
Visualizing the talisman and seal characters is not as simple as imagined. The order in which the talisman and seal characters are formed must comply with certain rules. Visualizing which part comes out first and then which part comes out is a key to learning the technique. In addition, between each stroke The distance between them must be visualized to be uniform. This is not as good as visualizing the true Dharma. You only need to get its meaning.
Shi Xuan tried seven or eight times before he finally visualized the talisman and seal characters in his soul, and then carefully brought it closer to the small inscriptions of Qingfengdun, and finally kept a The mysterious distance seems to be touching but not touching.
After stopping, the inscription in the essence of Shi Xuan's running soul suddenly heated up. The talisman and the inscription had some wonderful connections, but they did not become a true whole.
Shi Xuan kept up his efforts and visualized other seal characters one after another. He visualized five or six seal characters until he felt that the soul in that place was already hot. This was beyond the limit of that soul today, but at the first level A small half of the ancient cloud seal has been formed above the inscription.
Although there is an extra half of the ancient cloud seal, it does not affect the use of the first level Xiaoyouqingfengdun. When stimulating magical powers, the small half of the ancient cloud seal is not required to play a role. Only when the second level is truly completed will it be fully When combined, it becomes a second-level inscription.
Shi Xuan slowly practiced the other six minor magical powers again. When he finally finished it, he felt very tired. He hurriedly did the Qingfengmingyuezhaoshenzhenfa to recover a little. After that, he warmed up the seal characters to make them fully Congruent with the essence of the soul.
In the next few days, Shi Xuan ordered Yan Jujian to go to the mountains to look for good wood, and at the same time asked Ding Mingde to go into the city to buy a few good cauldrons. If there are cauldrons for Taoist temples, it would be best, and he would also have to buy some more. The materials Shi Xuan handed over were prepared for the formation of formations to increase the temperature of the flames and the formations to stabilize the flames.
The second-level technique was indeed relatively simple. Three days later at night, Shi Xuan successfully visualized the last seal character and moved it to the inscription above Xiao You Qingfeng Dun. As soon as it was placed, the entire The layers of seal characters formed a complete ancient cloud seal mixed with several ordinary inscriptions. At the same time, golden light flashed on it, and this layer of inscriptions became a connected whole with the first-level inscriptions. , Shi Xuan finally mastered a second-level technique.
After the first time, the rest was much easier. Shi Xuan had practiced the Golden Blade Divine Wind Slash, Golden Dragon Armor Spell, Invisibility Concealing Qi Technique, Yin Yang Eyes, and Qi Watching Technique to the second level that night. Only the Shangqing Hand Because Shu Lei was at the second level, he was far from reaching a breakthrough.
After comparison, Shi Xuan confirmed that the effect of the second-level minor magical power was at least doubled compared to the first-level.
Shi Xuan was not idle during the day. By carefully studying the book on weapon refining and the refining method of the life and death disk magic weapon in "Baolu", Shi Xuan initially thought of three plans for refining the magic weapon, but among them The two are purely spare and will do great harm to the material of the Bone Soul Flag itself, so I hope they won’t be used by then.
The materials and refining techniques of the White Bone Soul Banner are very good. The fact that it can be refined to the seventh level of perfection shows that it is a top-grade magic weapon that can withstand most restrictions. Therefore, Shi Xuan racked his brains as to which kind of restraint to choose for the sacrifice after retraining.
The restrictions provided in the Bone Soul Banner Refining Book are undoubtedly the most appropriate, but Shi Xuan doesn't like them. First, the thousand-year-old skulls on both sides are completely shattered, and a large part of the restrictions are related to this. As for giving up these and extracting irrelevant prohibitions from them to become a new prohibition, Shi Xuan is not yet capable of this. The second is the method that requires human sacrifice, which Shi Xuan cannot accept yet.
However, Tian Shixuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and took out the prohibitions on the magical artifacts in the "Baolu" to study. To his surprise, he discovered that the first heavenly prohibition on the life and death disc magic weapon and the first two heavenly prohibitions on the Bone Soul Serving Banner were There are a lot of similarities, but the differences in the subsequent levels of heavenly prohibitions become greater as they go on.
Shi Xuan was wondering whether he should use the prohibition of the Life and Death Disk to worship the Bone Soul Serving Banner. Most of the previous prohibitions were the same and the explanation of the effectiveness of the Life and Death Disk showed that the material of this flag was roughly consistent with the properties of this prohibition. Although the life and death The materials required for the plate seem to be very high-end, but the Bone Soul-Serving Banner is also a top-grade magic weapon, so the materials won't be much worse.
However, if you start the ritual without much understanding, it is difficult to say whether the material will not be able to withstand the subsequent restrictions in the future, and whether the banner will be useless by then, so Shi Xuan is very hesitant. .
However, the day after Shi Xuan mastered the second-level magic, he made up his mind to use the Life and Death Disk Restriction to refine the magic weapon. After all, his Taiyi Bangtian Thunder Talisman had been used up, and there was one more one. With the magic weapon in hand, you can have more protection. Who knows if you will encounter an enemy stronger than the two-headed tiger in the future. Using the Bone Soul Banner to prohibit sacrificial refining, on the one hand, I don’t know when the materials will be collected, which is not in line with the principle of being able to have it immediately, and on the other hand, it is unacceptable.
After making all preparations, Shi Xuan directed Yan Jujian and Ding Mingde to arrange the purchased materials into a formation, then placed the wooden blocks chopped from the finest wood in the center of the formation, and finally bought them from a Taoist temple. The cauldron is placed on the wooden block.
Shi Xuan used magic to ignite the wood blocks and preheat the furnace. At the same time, he asked Yan Jujian and two others to stand by. For Shi Xuan now, refining weapons is not something that one person can do well. Let them give it to them. Wood or a fan is good.
When the bottom of the cauldron was heating up, Shi Xuan put the white bone spirit flag banner surface and the small half of the flagpole on it into the furnace cauldron, and then added some materials to help the flag surface melt later to facilitate the stone. Xuan cutting.
Shi Xuan circled the cauldron and used the fire control method in the weapon refining book to concentrate the temperature of the flame on the holes and fractures on the banner. Although there was no restriction, the combination of this part of the material was broken by lightning and was stable. , but it seems that the temperature of the wood fire is still far from melting the mixed material that is no longer stable at the fracture.
While controlling the fire, the materials that were just put in were lifted up to the holes in the flag like string puppets. These less advanced materials can help melt when in contact with the original material.
Shi Xuan finally found some concentration and signaled Ding Mingde and Yan Jujian to prepare the wood and add more at any time. Then he glared, pinched the magic method, and used the most powerful method in the fire control magic method. At the same time, the other three One-third of his spirit also opened the fire control circle to the maximum.
The orange flame itself suddenly surged, engulfing the cauldron, and the color turned yellow with white hints. Shi Xuan sought this moment, and controlled the heat generated at this moment to the hole in the banner through formations and spells. , as expected, the fractured area softened slightly.
Shi Xuan opened his mouth, and a pale white wind blade flew straight to the fracture, one after another, and after three times, the fracture was finally torn horizontally, and the smaller half of the flag with the fracture separated from the bottom. Come on.
But at this time, Shi Xuan discovered that the furnace cauldron was actually burned out. This was the beginning of an oversight. How could an ordinary furnace cauldron withstand such high temperatures? Shi Xuan had no time to worry. His soul condensed, and a black seal character appeared in front of him. , with a finger, the seal characters hit the flag, and the flag finally stopped in mid-air after half immersing itself in the flames.
"You two quickly use the magic circle to control the flames!" Shi Xuan had no choice but to let the two of them take the stage. Fortunately, they had rehearsed it during preparation. The main reason was that Shi Xuan was worried that he would not be able to do two things at the last critical point, so he did not expect to use it now.
After several months of practice, especially the teaching of immortal magic secrets in the last few days, Yan Jujian has a comprehensive understanding. It is not a problem to control the magic circle, and Ding Mingde is still qualified to fight with Jiajia Wood.
Shi Xuan waved it with a specific technique based on the refining technique of the White Bone Soul-Yielding Flag. One after another, black seal characters appeared in the air, and then penetrated into the broken part of the flag. They faintly coincided with the intact flag, and finally the flag appeared. The upper half forms an edge line with peculiar lines.
Shi Xuan's Taoist robe was wet with sweat and dried by the fire, but before he could succeed, black seal characters hit the end of the flagpole and the junction with the upper half of the flag. The black seal characters penetrated the shaft and surface of the flag. At the same time, Shi Xuan controlled the white bone spirit flag to flip back and forth to facilitate the insertion of the seal characters.
With a loud shout, the last seal character condensed out and was pointed at the black banner by Shi Xuan. When it penetrated the black banner, the surrounding evil and confusing energy rushed towards the black banner, and part of it successfully penetrated into the black banner. inside.
Although Shi Xuan was extremely tired, the joy in his heart suppressed his physical and mental discomfort when he saw that he had successfully practiced the magic weapon again. He reluctantly used magic to protect his body, took the black banner from the fire, and at the same time signaled to Yan Jujian The two of them were done and no longer had to control the flames.
The entire black banner is more than a third smaller than before, and is only about one person tall. The black flag has strange lines on it. It looks strange and dazzling, but it does not reproduce the evil ghost's head before. I think it was brought about by the ban on the white bone soul flag, and it feels like gold and cloth.
Shi Xuan did not treat Yan Jujian and Ding Mingde badly. Although he put away the small half of the flag, he still distributed the remaining fragments of the flag to the two of them. He also took out a fragment of the flagpole and told them The two of them will each use half of it when refining the weapon in the future. As for now, they will let Yan Jujian keep it, and the introductory knowledge of weapon refining will be taught to them in a few days. Of course, those evil parts that require blood sacrifice will definitely not be taught.
