Chapter 65 Muran
May 29th, sunny.
The temperature... is hot!
Qin Ran was ready and took Li Shiyin from Yuelai Inn to Liben Mountain to get the sword.
I don't know if it's the weather, or Xu Zhixie's use of volcanoes to forge swords, or just a mentality problem, the master and apprentice felt that it was particularly hot today. They both brought fire-proof beads, but they still felt like they were in a sea of fire.
At the foot of Liben Mountain, Qin Ran looked up and saw that the clouds in the sky were roasted red, fiery red, like blood, condensed on the top of the mountain.
This is not a good sign, as if it is a great omen in the mouth of the charlatan. Qin Ran felt heavy in his heart, and the mountain in front of him pressed on his heart.
"Check the equipment." He said to his silly apprentice.
Li Shiyin checked her Qiankun bag, and everything was available.
"No problem." She replied.
"Today..." Qin Ran looked at Li Shiyin and said solemnly, "There will be one battle after another.
"Are you ready? "
Why should Li Shiyin be afraid of fighting?
There was a fire burning in her eyes, she was looking forward to the battle, she said: "Let them come!"
"Okay..." Qin Ran suddenly laughed, "You should say be prepared at all times."
"Ah?" Li Shiyin was puzzled.
To liven up the atmosphere, Qin Ran shook his head and did not explain.
"Go up the mountain!" he said.
The master and the disciple walked up the mountain.
Liben Mountain is an active volcano. The surface of the mountain was originally covered with magma, bare, all stone, nothing else, but since Xu Zhixie lived here, he sealed the entire crater, turning the entire volcano into his melting furnace, and no magma erupted from the crater.
Over time, because of the high nutrition of the magma, some plants actually grew on Liben Mountain. They are not tall and lush, but they cover the brown-red magma of Liben Mountain, making Liben Mountain look A bit of green.
When the master and the apprentice walked halfway up the mountain, Qin Ran suddenly sensed something and raised his hand to signal Li Shiyin behind him to stop.
Li Shiyin stopped, and a gust of hot wind blew up. It blew from the mountain, blew across her face, scorching, blew across the low bushes on the roadside, and blew down the mountain.
Then, the ground began to shake. At first it was a slight shake, and the sand and dust on the ground danced quietly. Gradually, the shaking became stronger and stronger, and gravel rolled down from the mountain. The shaking was still getting stronger. After a few breaths, it seemed as if the whole mountain was jumping.
Qin Ran He grabbed Li Shiyin, wrapped them with bubbles, and then left the ground and slowly floated up.
The whole mountain under his feet shook, and there was another rumbling sound.
Qin Ran was in the air, and saw the bushes on the mountain swaying back and forth, like crazy young men and women in a disco.
At a certain moment, the ground couldn't stand it and cracked, and then as if hearing a certain signal, the ground cracked one crack after another, and the outer surface of the whole mountain was like clay that was burned too dry and cracked.
There was a hot breath coming out of the cracks, and the plants on the surface were Things quickly died, and then turned yellow and dry...
The rumbling sound kept ringing, but at a certain moment, a sword sounded in the rumbling sound.
Then...
There was a loud "boom..." sound that penetrated the world. For a moment, the sound waves were like substance, spreading to all directions of the world like waves.
Qin Ran looked in the direction of the loud noise. It was the top of the mountain...
The top of Liben Mountain exploded, and smoke and gravel were rising, but the situation was not clear, and he didn't know what happened there.
"Did the sword furnace explode?" Qin Ran worried, "Did the sword refining fail?"
As he was thinking this, the wind and clouds suddenly changed. The red clouds in the sky quickly condensed. They seemed to absorb the smoke and dust rising from the top of the mountain and quickly turned black. More clouds gathered, covering the sky and pressing down. The sky quickly darkened, and there was a strong wind...
"Thunderbolt? "Qin Ran's heart trembled, and he had a guess that he dared not think of.
The sky and the earth darkened, and in the blink of an eye, it went from noon to midnight. Stars appeared, starlight gathered, and a ray of starlight cut through the darkness and fell into the smoke and dust on the top of the mountain.
"Boom..." The electric snakes swam in the dark clouds in the sky, and thunder sounded between heaven and earth.
At this moment, Xu Zhixie's voice came from the top of the mountain. He asked: "Name? !"
Li Shiyin knew that he was asking herself, asking the name of the sword. She stepped on the bubble, took a step forward, pressed her hand on the tough bubble membrane, and looked back at Qin Ran.
Qin Ran looked at her, but did not speak. Naturally, he could only name his own natal sword.
Li Shiyin looked at the top of the mountain again. She hesitated for a moment, but still shouted: "Muran!"
"Muran?" Xu Zhixie said, "It's dark, not bad! "
Li Shiyin opened her mouth. She wanted to refute that it was not that Muran, but she did not have the courage after all.
It's just... Qin Ran heard it and understood it. The complexity kept overflowing from his heart and filled his eyes. He looked at the back of the girl in front of him with an extremely complicated expression.
"Splits!"
A thunderbolt struck down from the clouds in the sky into the volcanic smoke.
The smoke was split a little, and a glowing sword could be vaguely seen floating inside.
"Splits!"
Another thunderbolt struck down.
The smoke dissipated, and a bright sword was suspended in the air in the darkness.
"Splits!"
The last thunderbolt struck down from the clouds to the sword. The thunderbolt was absorbed by the sword, and purple lightning kept flickering on the sword.
After the thunderstorm, the clouds gradually dissipated, and the world turned from night to day in the blink of an eye. The wind calmed, the clouds dispersed, and the stars retreated. Except for the sword in the air that was still carrying lightning, and the cracks on the ground, everything seemed to have become normal.
Qin Ran took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and drove the bubbles to fly directly from the middle of the mountain to the top of the mountain, stopping in front of Xu Zhixie's residence.
Xu Zhixie was in the courtyard, looking dusty and exhausted.
He looked at Qin Ran and said, "Don't do it again..."
Meaning, don't fly up directly again.
Qin Ran nodded.
Xu Zhixie raised his hand, and the sword in the air with lightning flew into his hand. He held the sword, looked at Qin Ran, and said, "The quality of this sword is at least a low-grade spiritual weapon. You know what level the Star Stone can reach. The difference in the middle is what you owe me."
Star Stone is at most a high-grade magic weapon, and it can never be a spiritual weapon.
Qin Ran took out a porcelain bottle from his Qiankun bag, threw it to Xu Zhixie, and said, "There are nine pills in it, let's call them Quhuo Pills. One pill is enough to remove all the fire poison in your body. Nine pills, you can use them for many years."
Xu Zhixie took the pills, broke the jade seal and looked at them, nodded, and poured one into his mouth.
Qin Ran took out Xu Zhixie's sword-shaped token from his Qiankun bag, imprinted his spiritual consciousness on it, and threw it to Xu Zhixie, saying, "You can come to me to refine pills at any time with this token. As long as it is a pill that I can refine, I will help you for free."
Not everyone is as untrustworthy as himself. Xu Zhixie knew very well that he took the token and felt the spiritual consciousness mark left by Qin Ran on it... His token, the spiritual consciousness mark of Old Monster Xu, is indeed a unique token.
But he said, "But you are only in the foundation-building stage at present."
What useful pills can be refined in the foundation-building stage? Is it worth a low-grade spiritual weapon?
"I can make a pill at any time." Qin Ran replied.
Xu Zhixie's eyes narrowed. This young man was so confident that he was arrogant!
It didn't mean that he was confident that he could make a pill at any time, but that he understood cultivation, controlled his realm, and was confident in his potential.
Xu Zhixie stared at Qin Ran for a long time, and suddenly laughed loudly, threw the sword in his hand to Li Shiyin, and said, "Okay!"
Li Shiyin took the sword, and the lightning on it had disappeared, turning into an extremely dreamy sword. It looked like a section of the galaxy was cut off and made into a sword, beautiful, dreamy, like a work of art.
This is her own sword, she thought, and then she looked for the name of the sword there, Muran, Muran Sword, she sighed secretly.
"This sword can be regarded as the masterpiece of my career..." Xu Zhixie said, "But precisely because of this, it is more difficult to refine it. Little girl, although it was refined for you and is now in your hands, it is not certain whether it can become your natal sword. There is still a long way to go between you and it."
