  Chapter 276 Spring and Autumn Cicada Refining the Longevity Sword

   “It’s another top-grade magic weapon, why do you think my talent in refining weapons is not as good as array?”

  Bai Zichen threw away the newly formed copper hammer, and threw it aside in disgust.

   In the mid-stage of alchemy, condescend to surrender to refine low-grade spiritual weapons. One advantage is that you don’t have to worry about the lack of true energy.

  A mere low-grade spiritual weapon, even if it is refined until the ground fire is exhausted, it will not wait until the day when the true energy is exhausted.

  So Bai Zichen started refining extremely fast without stopping. Anyway, the complexity of the lower-grade spiritual weapons is not difficult in front of his powerful spiritual sense.

  Two hundred materials were exhausted in just over a month.

   It’s just that the final results were not satisfactory. Excluding more than 30 complete refining failures, only about 50 finished products were refined.

  The rest of the results were due to improper use of techniques, and they were downgraded to top-grade magic weapons.

  If you want to change to a general craftsman, you have already lost money to the extreme, no matter which sect is impossible to continue training.

   Only Patriarch Bai, who is rich and powerful, doesn’t care about making money but only honing his craft of refining weapons.

   Put all the refined low-grade spiritual artifacts and top-grade magical artifacts in a storage bag, threw them out of the courtyard, and landed firmly on a jade plate.

   There will be deacon disciples who have been ordered to take it away, hand it over to the Queen of the Artifact Refining Hall, and then retrieve a new batch of refining materials.

   “Be thicker-skinned. It’s not impossible to call yourself a second-level low-grade weapon refiner… Anyway, I don’t pursue the rate of return. I will start trying to refine middle-grade spiritual weapons from tomorrow. If the success rate is low, I will use the quantity to pile up.”

  Bai Zichen changed the refining target, and was going to start refining the copper mirror of the middle-grade spiritual weapon next.

  A normal craftsman must be very proficient in polishing his skills, and will only seek a breakthrough after he has sufficient confidence in refining the spiritual weapons of the current state.

  But his starting point is different. Trying to refine spiritual weapons beyond his own control is actually of great benefit to the improvement of the refining realm.

  Be able to master some exquisite refining techniques in advance, and how to deal with higher-level spiritual material minerals.

  Once successful, with experience, you can quickly break through to the next level.

   It’s just the price to pay, which is the continuous failure in the early stage, refining a lot of precious spiritual materials into a pile of waste.

  With no expense spared, the mid-stage cultivation of alchemy was used to reverse the realm of refining equipment, and in less than a year, the first high-grade spiritual weapon was finally refined.

   “It’s a pity that there are not enough spiritual materials, otherwise I can start refining the second-level flying sword…”

  Bai Zichen reviewed the achievements of the Bai family members years ago. Perhaps because of the short time, not one of the tens of thousands of spiritual bamboos has yet appeared.

  As for the other second-order flying sword, Tianxin Sword, it takes three years to refine the main material white iron elite with pill fire.

  With his current success rate of sword refining, it is impossible to see the hope of success without preparing ten or twenty pieces of sword refining materials.

  How can I have the time to slowly temper so many white iron elites.

   On the other hand, when sorting out the third-level sword refining materials on his body, he dug out a carefully collected material——

  I feel that the more important things are stored in the top-grade storage bag obtained from the monk Youlongmen.

   Half of it is green and evergreen, and the other half is rotten and crisp.

   It is one of the five strange insects, the remnant of the second-order spring and autumn cicada.

  Obviously only a second-rank top-rank spirit worm, but in Bai Zichen’s mind, its status is much more important than a third-rank monster.

  In the main hall, an ice cellar was specially built, covered with thousand-year-old ice jade, and arrays were arranged to store thousands of catties of the flesh and blood of the golden-winged Lei Peng demon king.

   Every once in a while, ten catties will be cut off and eaten after thawing.

  Backed against the Montenegro Mountains, the flesh and blood of Tier 3 monsters is not a rare thing for him.

   But such strange insects as Spring Autumn Cicada are hard to find, even if they offer sky-high prices.

   “If I can only refine a spirit weapon, then I might as well keep it. Being able to use a beast of the level of the five great insects as a specimen is much more valuable than a spirit weapon.”

  Bai Zichen gently stroked the body of the Spring Autumn Cicada, half of which was full of elasticity like jelly, as if it was not dead yet.

  The other half is like a piece of dead wood, for fear that if I use too much force, it will become debris.

  Even if he could use this Spring Autumn Cicada’s insect body to refine an extremely powerful spiritual weapon, it would be impossible for him to be moved.

  At any rate, the achievement of Dan theory has some factors inspired by Spring Autumn Cicada.

   Keeping it still has commemorative significance, and it is a rare specimen.

   “The main reason is that Spring Autumn Cicada appears too few times, and there is no opportunity in the world of cultivating immortals to study how to use it…”

  When Bai Zichen’s fingers touched the cicada wings on its back, there was a sudden vibration, and the power of time appeared inexplicably in the air.

  The emerald green half of the worm’s body is getting brighter and brighter, but it is constantly shrinking.

  The rotten side exudes a sense of desolation, ashes are constantly falling from the body of the insect, as if it has been dead for thousands of years.

   “It’s not shrinking, it’s returning to the larva state… The other half has been eroded by the years and turned into powder, and can no longer maintain even the most basic form!”

  I don’t know why it touched the power of time in the body of Spring Autumn Cicada, who had been dead for many years, but Bai Zichen suddenly felt an extremely longing emotion coming from a thing in his dantian.

   Wushangqingwei rushed out of the sword case, opened the sword case, and a ball of thunder jumped up, directly meeting the slough of Spring Autumn Cicada.

  The body of Spring Autumn Cicada, which was undergoing strange changes originally, collided with Lei Mang, and they merged together perfectly.

   Counting time, whether it is the evergreen half, or the decayed part, all disappeared.

   Only a little bit of debris is left, slowly falling in the air.

   “Is this eating the Spring and Autumn Cicada?”

  Bai Zichen felt very clearly that the power of time and space that suddenly appeared was gone, and it was not dissipated but was swallowed by Lei Mang.

  reached out his hand and called Lei Mang over, he was stunned by the message that Ziwei Xuanleijian sent over.

   Immediately, it was discovered that the state of the Qingdi Longevity Sword had changed dramatically.

   “Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword Embryo devoured the residual power of time in the slough of Spring Autumn Cicada. Although it is weak and near nothing, it is bestowed by heaven and earth… It directly acts on Qingdi Longevity Sword, shortening the time of hiding the sword by one Jiazi!”

  Bai Zichen can sense the progress of hiding the sword as long as he holds Lei Mang, and there are only twenty-nine years left.

  Spring and Autumn Cicada is worthy of being one of the five strange insects, an insect born from the long river of time, and a mere second-order spirit insect that came into contact with the existence of the power of time.

  Just one slough shortened the time to hide the sword of Qingdi Longevity Sword by more than half.

   “If I can kill several Spring Autumn Cicadas and put them on my body, wouldn’t I have the opportunity to fulfill the dream of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of Yulongzong, and cut out the Qingdi Longevity Sword in succession!”

  Bai Zichen immediately thought of this possibility, but quickly shook his head and gave up.

  The one I met might be the only one in Liang Guozhong, and I haven’t heard about Spring Cicada for many years.

  However, in the future, if someone sells the remains of the Spring Autumn Cicada that was left a long time ago, no matter how high the price is, they must try their best to get it.

   “Of course, the fundamental solution is to truly master the Dao of Time…”

  According to the speculation of Yulongzong Yuanying Zhenjun who obtained the Qingdi Longevity Sword, the real usage of this great supernatural power probably does not require the step of hiding the sword for a hundred years.

  On weekdays, every slashed sword light contains the power of time, so it can be called the real sword of time, and the sword makes people old.

  It’s just that level, the requirements for practitioners are too high, even the supernatural powers can’t do it.

  The time for the Qingdi Longevity Sword to hide the sword was shortened to less than thirty years, which greatly inspired Bai Zichen.

  If the real blood **** moves slower, and he really has time to cultivate this sword, please ask a real emperor Yuanying to taste it.

  Ziwei Xuanlei sword fetus returned to the sword box full of food, turned into a mysterious light and flew back to Dantian Qihai.

“The Wushangqingwei sword box is indeed of great benefit to warming and nourishing the flying sword. Last time, the Yuexuan sword injured its original power, and it has almost recovered after this time in the sword box… and the Ziwei Xuanlei sword embryo is also fast and true. When you wake up, it’s no longer just a sword fetus, but a real flying sword!”

  Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword Embryo was originally a flying sword of several ranks, but when I held it in my hand just now, I could already feel the sword body reuniting.

  The awakening of this sword represents great significance. It is not just as simple as the power of the natal flying sword, but also opens up the possibility of returning to the peak.

  As long as Bai Zichen’s cultivation level continues to improve, the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword Embryo will one day be able to reproduce the style of the ancient Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword, and re-upgrade to a fourth-level flying sword, or even a fifth-level flying sword!

  The improvement of sword refining skills can only be temporarily stopped due to the lack of sword refining materials.

   After all, what he wants to do is to be a swordsman to meet his own needs for flying swords.

   I don’t want to become a master craftsman, I need to be proficient in various crafts.

  Bai Zichen walked to the edge of Qingxi, grabbed a handful of lingmi and fed the happy swimming fish, sitting quietly for half a day.

  Walking back to the thatched hut, sitting cross-legged on the futon, resting his mind and closing his eyes, the five crystals of light on his body surface shone for several feet, forming a dense light cluster around his body.

  …

   “Nephew Li, I can understand your desire to pay homage to Patriarch Bai, but Patriarch lives in the main hall, and you don’t even have the chance to meet him. You might as well wait until you have achieved foundation establishment and at least have more chances to meet you.”

  Huo Feiyan earnestly persuaded the young man in front of him not to be blindly fooled.

  The main reason is that this heroic young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes has extraordinary aptitude, otherwise she would be impatient to say more to a qi refining disciple.

   “The disciple naturally understands this truth, but he will not give up if he doesn’t come every few months. Maybe the old ancestor just happened to be in a good mood and was willing to meet me when he left the customs.”

   Li Guizhen is the disciple of the Thunder-type Alien Spirit Root, who came all the way from other states and counties under the name of Master Bai.

  In just a few years, he successfully became a true disciple. He would rather come to Tianlei Cliff to practice on Tianlei Cliff without the third-level spiritual land, just to be closer to Patriarch Bai.

   Every two or three months, he tried to go to the clifftop hall to ask for an interview.

  He deliberately made friends with members of the Bai clan, thinking about whether he could meet Patriarch Bai once.

  Although Patriarch Bai has only one disciple so far, maybe after meeting him, he is sincere and has good aptitude, so he may make an exception.

   “When I meet Senior Brother Lu next time, I’ll ask you a question, but don’t hold out too much hope.”

  If possible, Huo Feiyan would like to worship under Patriarch Bai.

  Helping Li Guizhen ask questions is actually like asking himself, so as to know whether Patriarch Bai has any thoughts on accepting disciples.
