Chapter 1326 Moxu Crystal
A year has passed in a flash.
In the refining room of Yibao Pavilion, Duan Qing carefully observed a slightly translucent black metal block in his hand, his expression could not hide his excitement.
If you look closely, you can find a faint mark on the surface of the black metal block that is disappearing.
In this year, Duan Qing went out with the team to perform eight tasks. Just like the first time, they were all led by the squadron leader to inspect the nodes of the Zhenxing formation and did not enter the Nebula Gorge.
In addition to going out to perform tasks, Duan Qing spent almost all his time in Yibao Pavilion, using the refining room of Yibao Pavilion to conduct material experiments.
After a year of experiments, Duan Qing spent more than 100 materials he bought at the beginning, and finally got something.
At this moment, the black metal block with magical translucent properties in front of him is his tenth finished product in this year.
In the thousands of smelting combinations before, there were a total of nine materials that made Duan Qing quite satisfied, especially the ninth one.
The ninth new material is extremely outstanding in terms of hardness, toughness, and spiritual power transmission speed, almost several times that of the Void Sword.
Originally, Duan Qing was most satisfied with the ninth new material and had decided to use it to refine a new flying sword. He was ready to purchase raw materials from Yibao Pavilion and start large-scale refining.
But when the time came, Duan Qing suddenly conducted another material test and added fragments of the Void Sword to the formula of the ninth new material.
The Void Sword is made of barren stone, which is not included in the list of non-attribute materials provided by Yibao Pavilion. Duan Qing had tried to add fragments of the Void Sword to the formula many times before, trying to make the material have self-repair ability, but the effect was not ideal, so he gave up later.
But he never expected that adding fragments of the Void Sword to the raw materials of the ninth new material would have an unexpected effect!
The newly smelted tenth material not only showed a slight improvement in strength and toughness, but also had the self-repair ability that Duan Qing had been thinking about.
Although the repair ability of this material is not as good as that of the Void Sword made of pure wild stone, it is not weak. A gap the size of a fingernail can be repaired by itself in about half a cup of tea.
Duan Qing was very satisfied with this tenth new material with the fragments of the Void Sword, and named it Moxu Crystal.
He could almost imagine that the power of the new flying sword made of Moxu Crystal in the Xuansu Sword Formation would definitely be one level higher than that of the Void Sword.
Duan Qing even suspected that the new flying sword made of Moxu Crystal would surpass the best spiritual treasure in grade and reach the grade of fairy spiritual treasure.
As far as Duan Qing knew, except for the true spiritual treasure manifested by the true form, it was difficult for artificially refined treasures to reach the first level of fairy spiritual treasure, because there was a big difference between the two fundamentally.
One was made of physical materials, while the other was made by the cultivator who went through the three realms of the true form and gradually manifested the true form he had realized.
Even though there is not much difference in strength between the two, compared with ordinary spiritual treasures, the true spiritual treasure is undoubtedly the most suitable treasure for cultivators, so the power it can exert is often very different.
This is exactly why the true spiritual treasure after manifestation can be called fairy spiritual treasure.
Only in the hands of exclusive cultivators can the true spiritual treasure of fairy spirit exert its due power. If the original cultivator dies, and others use the true spiritual treasure of the fallen cultivator, the power will definitely be much less than before, and even similar to ordinary top-grade spiritual treasures.
Just like the trident used by Star Guard No. 1 in the Broken Star Palace.
There is no doubt that Star Guard No. 1 has the strength of the Dao Realm, but as a puppet, he does not have the ability to perceive his true nature and manifest it, so the trident is obviously someone else's true spiritual treasure.
Today, the trident is still stored in Duan Qing's storage bracelet.
In general, although ordinary spiritual treasures refined with real objects rarely reach the level of fairy spiritual treasures, they are not nonexistent.
At least, Duan Qing saw hope in the Moxu Crystal.
With excitement, Duan Qing left the refining room and went straight to Hua Mei, the receptionist.
In the past year, Duan Qing spent most of his time in the refining room of Yibao Pavilion, and he was already very familiar with Hua Mei.
"Hua Daoyou, this is the list of materials I want."
"Did Duan Daoyou finally choose the materials?" Hua Mei took the jade slip handed over by Duan Qing and said with a smile.
As she spoke, Hua Mei began to check the materials in the jade slip.
After a while, Hua Mei put down the jade slip, her face a little heavy: "Duan Daoyou, are you sure you really want these materials?"
"Yes, thank you for your trouble." Duan Qing nodded seriously.
"Twenty-four kinds of materials, 1,200 copies of each, the total price is 1.62 million top-grade spirit stones. Since Daoyou bought so many at once, I'll give you a small amount, 1.6 million!" Hua Mei looked at Duan Qing with a complicated expression.
"Hey, thank you, fellow Daoist, for saving me 20,000 spirit stones."
As he spoke, Duan Qing took out the bracelet he had prepared in advance, took out 20,000 top-grade spirit stones from it and put them away, then handed the bracelet to Hua Mei.
"This is 1.6 million top-grade spirit stones, fellow Daoist Hua, keep it."
Hua Mei took the bracelet and glanced at it, looking at Duan Qing, who was about to say something, and finally went to prepare the materials in silence.
Is this kid stupid!
The price quoted by the refiner of Yibao Pavilion was only one million top-grade spirit stones. Now you buy the materials yourself, and you spend more spirit stones than customizing them at Yibao Pavilion!
You are so confident that the flying sword you refine can surpass the master of Yibao Pavilion?
Although Duan Qing said that he would find someone else to refine it, after a year of dealing with him, Hua Mei had already guessed that Duan Qing actually wanted to refine the flying sword himself.
Hua Mei was not optimistic about Duan Qing's decision. It was time-consuming and labor-intensive to refine the flying sword by himself, and the finished product might not be better than the master of Yibao Pavilion.
At the same time, Hua Mei was also very curious. In addition to the previous 540,000 top-grade spirit stones, Duan Qing was willing to spend millions of top-grade spirit stones to refine the flying sword himself. What would it look like and how powerful it would be.
Or should I ask the master of the pavilion to make a sample based on this material to try?
After Hua Mei left, Duan Qing waited alone in the quiet room, secretly distressed.
In fact, the real raw materials of Moxu Crystal, except for the fragments of Xuling Sword, only need to be purchased from Yibao Pavilion for fifteen kinds, with a total value of about 1.2 million spirit stones, so there is no need to spend so many spirit stones.
The reason why he deliberately added nine more materials was to confuse Yibao Pavilion.
According to the information he got from Hua Mei, there were only seven or eight material formulas for non-attribute top-grade spiritual treasures in Yibao Pavilion, and the one Hua Mei provided a year ago was a relatively mediocre one among them.
Even though he had not seen these formulas with his own eyes, he could infer from Hua Mei's words that none of these formulas of Yibao Pavilion could be compared with Moxu Crystal, and even the predecessor of Moxu Crystal, the ninth new material, could not compare.
Moxu Crystal was the result of Duan Qing's hard work for a year, and he didn't want to leak the formula to Yibao Pavilion just like that.
Even if Yibao Pavilion didn't have the waste stone, with the correct formula, as long as more attempts were made, it would definitely be able to refine the ninth new material that was very close to Moxu Crystal. Wouldn't that be a bargain for Yibao Pavilion?
