Chapter 150 Repairing the Floating Pearl
"Why...how are there so many ancient treasures?"
Old Man Lu was stunned.
There are more than a dozen magic weapons in front of him, some are flying swords, some are swords and spears, some are axes and halberds, they are all different, but all of them are ancient treasures with astonishing power.
"I wonder if these ancient treasures are enough to repair the Floating and Sinking Pearl?"
Ye Chunyang waved his hand.
These ancient treasures were naturally scraped from the Lingkun Cave at the bottom of the Blackwater River. Although they were extremely powerful, they were only low-level magic weapons, far less powerful than the Dust Beads and Golden Maces. Ye Chunyang naturally didn't feel bad about squandering them. .
"Enough! Enough! That's enough!"
Old Man Lu nodded repeatedly. Ancient treasures have always been hard to come by, and just one piece was worth a fortune. This person had more than a dozen of them at once, so Old Man Lu had to treat them with dignity.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said: "With these ancient treasures, I can restore this bead in the shortest time."
Studying ancient treasures is Old Man Lu's dream wish. Unfortunately, they have long since disappeared. Now that there are so many ancient treasures for practice, Old Man Lu is naturally pleasantly surprised.
I believe that after this smelting, his weapon refining skills will definitely improve a lot.
Hearing these words, Ye Chunyang finally felt relieved.
After handing the Floating Dust Bead and many ancient treasures to Old Man Lu, he was about to leave.
However, just as he turned around, Old Man Lu suddenly called him: "Senior, stay here."
"What else does Mr. Lu have to do?" Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows.
Old Man Lu showed some hesitation, and then said with an awkward smile: "To be honest, although there are many ancient treasures available for extraction, the repair technique is extremely complicated. Although the little old man knows this technique, his cultivation level is slightly low. We need a senior with profound Taoism to help us..."
"Mr. Lu, you want me to help you repair the Dust Bead?"
"Exactly."
Ye Chunyang frowned. Now the good and the devil are closely pursuing Su Xueyuan. Tianyang City is a Xiuxian City with many eyes and ears. He should not show his face too much, otherwise his whereabouts will be exposed, and the consequences will be disastrous.
However, the ancient pagoda array was what he relied on to escape. No matter how much it cost, it was imperative to repair this thing, and it was worth taking some risks for this.
After much thought, he finally agreed: "In that case, it doesn't matter if I stay."
Old Man Lu looked happy when he heard this, "Senior, I am very skilled in cultivation. With your help, I can complete the repair of this bead in less than three days!"
Ye Chunyang nodded lightly, and suddenly said: "I wonder if Mr. Lu will charge half of the materials for repairs this time according to the old rules?"
"No, no, no, this time the little old man has benefited from the senior, and being able to explore the secrets of the ancient treasure is already the biggest reward. The little old man has not been able to thank the senior, so how can he charge more fees!"
Old Man Lu shook his head repeatedly.
I thought that this old man who couldn't afford the early morning would be a lion, but he turned out to be such an upright refusal, which was beyond Ye Chunyang's expectation.
That's fine, it saves him from being blackmailed by this old man again.
"When will we open the cauldron?" Ye Chunyang asked, nodding.
"You can do it now. Senior, please come with me." Old Man Lu led Ye Chunyang into the inner hall.
There is a bronze tripod in the hall. I don’t know how many times the old man exploded the tripod while refining the weapon, but the surface of the tripod was covered with cracks and looked shaky.
Ye Chunyang couldn't help but doubt whether it was reliable to use this tripod to repair floating beads.
Seeming to have seen his doubts, Old Man Lu smiled awkwardly and said, "This cauldron was originally made of meteorite copper. Unfortunately, the old man's skills were not good and he exploded several times, so the cauldron became like this." ”
Ye Chunyang held back his laughter and did not answer.
At this time, Old Man Lu hesitated again and said: "Most of the ancient treasures have complicated structures. The fire of the spiritual energy of the old man alone is not enough to smelt them. This time, we need to rely on the foundation-building true fire of our seniors to be effective."
Ye Chunyang had no objection to this, and immediately chanted a mantra and offered sacrifices to the Three Flavors True Fire.
With a pop, the entire inner hall suddenly became dazzling, and the surroundings were filled with scorching heat.
Old Man Lu was overjoyed when he saw this, and secretly wondered when he would be able to achieve this magical power. After all, the Three Flavors True Fire was the real fire of the elixir, and the refining efficiency would be greatly improved.
"As far as I know, all ancient treasures have a special spiritual energy. It is this energy that is missing in the Floating and Sinking Pearls. To repair it, these ancient treasures must be smelted before they can be extracted."
Old Man Lu said as he sacrificed all the ancient treasures into the cauldron.
"Next, Senior Lao used his spiritual power to drive the three flavors of true fire to smelt the ancient treasure."
Hearing this, Ye Chunyang invoked the magic formula, and the three flavors of true fire suddenly became strong, swallowing up the ancient treasures in the cauldron like a tiger.
Although he is not proficient in weapon refining, Ye Chunyang is proficient in the smelting method. In addition, it complements the Xiaobao Linggen, and the three flavors of true fire with complete five elements are even more powerful.
In just one stick of incense, these dozen ancient treasures showed signs of dissolution.
"Is it possible that senior is also proficient in weapon refining?"
Seeing that Ye Chunyang was so handy at smelting magic weapons, Old Man Lu's eyes lit up and he was shocked again.
Ye Chunyang smiled and said: "I just know a little bit about alchemy. I didn't expect it to be useful in smelting magic weapons."
Old Man Lu was horrified.
Ye Chunyang said it lightly, but based on his many years of experience in refining weapons, he could tell that the other party was well versed in controlling fire.
Otherwise, no matter how high-level an alchemist is, he cannot control the fire temperature as accurately as he does, allowing these ancient treasures to be smelted and decomposed in a short period of time.
Ye Chunyang didn't want to explain more about this.
Although Old Man Lu was not a bad person, he still did not want to reveal his true identity in front of others due to his cautious habit, so he spent all his time carefully smelting ancient treasures.
By the second day, all the dozen or so ancient treasures in the tripod had been decomposed into a pile of debris.
Old Man Lu was shocked by this, but he did not dare to act sluggishly. After seeing that many ancient treasures were smelted, he raised his eyebrows and fired a few spells at the cauldron.
A surprising scene appeared.
I saw countless rays of light rising from the fragments of the magic weapon, and turning into a ball of light in the cauldron, floating up and down in the cauldron like clouds.
"Is this the special aura of the ancient treasure?" Ye Chunyang was surprised.
"good."
"The reason why ancient treasures are more powerful than today's magic weapons is because of the maintenance of Qi, which the ancients called 'treasure Qi'. In ancient times, before the war between good and evil broke out, spiritual Qi was a hundred times more abundant than today, so there was no lack of cultivation in ancient times. Dao, the immortals who ascended in the day, but unfortunately now, many immortal arts and Taoism have declined. Not to mention ascending to immortality, even high-level magic weapons and elixirs are difficult to appear. "
Old man Lu had his own sigh.
Seeing Old Man Lu's extraordinary method of extracting treasure energy, Ye Chunyang also secretly admired him.
Although this old man's character is not very good, he is somewhat capable in the art of weapon refining.
However, he had no intention of listening to the other party's grand argument, so he said expressionlessly: "The ancient times have long since become history. It is meaningless for monks like us to talk about it anymore. Now that the ancient treasure has been smelted, how should we repair the Floating Dust Bead next?"
Old Man Lu laughed awkwardly a few times, but could not hide his enthusiasm when looking at the cauldron of light. He quickly said to Ye Chunyang: "Now the precious energy has been extracted, senior, take a rest, and then we will just wait for the little old man to integrate the precious energy into it." Just a floating dust bead.”
As he spoke, Old Man Lu put the floating dust bead into the cauldron. Then, with a change of technique, the fire of the cauldron suddenly became fierce and rolled towards the floating dust bead with the precious energy.
Ye Chunyang didn't know how to refine weapons, so he had to stand aside and wait patiently.
Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Under Old Man Lu's continuous casting, the treasure energy gradually merged into the floating dust bead. When he saw the rainbow light flashing inside the bead again, Ye Chunyang felt happy in his heart.
At this time, the floating dust bead seemed to have been injected with new life, the bead body glowed with gray light, and the long-dormant Hongmeng Qi became active again.
Seeing this, Ye Chunyang was overjoyed and immediately sensed it with his spiritual consciousness. Sure enough, he saw the spiritual power of the ancient pagoda array inside the bead re-radiating, and the power of teleportation was faintly flowing in the array.
At this moment, Old Man Lu took back the magic formula and gathered his energy to collect his power.
After three days of continuous consumption, the old guy's face was a little pale, but his eyes could not hide his excitement. Apparently, repairing the Dust Bead this time had given him something else to gain.
Ye Chunyang took the Floating Dust Bead back and inspected it carefully. It was indeed the same as when he got it in Guangling Cave. At that moment, he couldn't help but think highly of Old Man Lu's weapon refining skills.
For others, apart from repairing this treasure, it would be difficult to extract the treasure's energy. Presumably this is also the reason why Old Man Lu studied the ancient weapon refining technique.
"It's really a big help, Mr. Lu, to be able to repair this bead."
Ye Chunyang thanked him from the bottom of his heart, and now he has repaired the Floating Dust Bead. Unless those giants in the pill formation stage take action personally, few people in Dongzhou can catch up with him.
"Senior, you're welcome. This restoration of the ancient treasure also gave me a lot of experience. Next, I plan to go into seclusion and understand the secrets carefully. Maybe I will get some unexpected gains from this."
Old Man Lu laughed loudly, with a look of pride on his face.
Ye Chunyang nodded and said: "In that case, I won't bother Mr. Lu anymore. I hope Mr. Lu can get what he wants."
After saying this, he put on his black trench coat and ghost mask again, and quickly left the weapon refining room.
Now that the Dust Bead has been restored, the plan to find the Silent City can begin.
He had some clues about this city in the cave at the bottom of the Xishanling iceberg a few years ago.
"Now the disaster is coming. It can take a few months or ten days. The good and the evil will definitely start a war. If I want to enter the city of silence, I need to improve my cultivation one step further. Otherwise, it will be difficult to survive in the troubled times. Save."
After walking out of Tianyang City, Ye Chunyang thought secretly.
Along the way, many monks in the city had solemn expressions, and everyone was in danger, as if a storm was about to come. In such a turbulent situation, it was difficult for him to protect himself with his early stage of foundation building.
Fortunately, when Lingyun Sect escaped, they already had the opportunity to make a breakthrough. All they had to do was find a secret place to meditate peacefully, and they would be able to make further progress.
At this time, he suddenly thought of the cave at the foot of the Western Mountain Ridge. There were few people in that place and it was extremely secret. It was the perfect place to practice and avoid being traced by Su Xueyuan.
Thinking of this, Ye Chunyang became determined and decided to use the Dust Bead to teleport into the void.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt something in his heart, and used his escape technique to fly toward the clouds and disappear.
