Chapter 86 Silver Gang
Chapter 86 Silver Gang
Four months later.
In a quiet room on the second floor of Baoguang Pavilion, Chen Yuan sat on a futon, holding a celadon teacup and sipping silently.
On the small white jade table in front of him, there was a purple copper incense burner. Smoke was rising from the burner and the room was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.
An hour later, Nie Ming came in holding a fixed mirror, and said apologetically:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I'm sorry to have waited so long. The Dingguang Mirror has been warmed up. Please take a look."
He raised his hand and the fixed-light mirror slowly flew towards Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan put down the celadon teacup, took the fixed-light mirror, pinched his fingers together, and injected his magic power into it.
The fixed-light mirror immediately emitted light, a faint white beam of light that flickered on the mirror surface, illuminating the slightly dim quiet room like daylight.
Chen Yuan carefully sensed for another quarter of an hour before withdrawing his magic power. He put the fixed light mirror into his storage bag and bowed to Nie Ming:
"Fellow Daoist Nie, thank you for your concern. Chen thanks you."
Nie Ming smiled and said:
"Nie is also here to repay a favor. Fellow Daoist Chen, you don't have to be polite."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, took out a jade bottle and placed it on the table:
"Human feelings also vary in depth. The Dingguang Mirror has fully recovered its power and has even reached a higher level. This shows that Brother Nie has devoted all his efforts. I cannot help but express my gratitude. I hope Brother Nie will not refuse this small gift."
Nie Ming looked at the jade bottle:
"This is……"
"These are two soul-restoring pills that I refined. After taking them, sit in meditation for a quarter of an hour, and the mana in your body will be fully restored. Brother Daoist Nie should be able to use them when refining weapons."
Upon hearing this, Nie Ming was surprised and looked at Chen Yuan with even more caution.
This kind of elixir that can restore magic power in a short period of time has always been precious. Even though he is proficient in refining techniques and has a considerable fortune, he has only heard of it but has never seen it.
He immediately returned the greeting:
"So Fellow Daoist Chen is an alchemist. I have also heard of this elixir. It seems that it requires a hundred-year-old spiritual herb as the main ingredient. Fellow Daoist Chen is able to refine it, so he deserves the title of master."
Chen Yuan said:
"The Soul-Restoring Pill is still far from a true foundation-building pill. Chen is unworthy of it."
Nie Ming blinked in confusion, then reacted and smiled:
"Nie forgot that Fellow Daoist Chen is a senior disciple of Lingyun Sect, with a complete inheritance. Only when he refines elixirs for the foundation-building period can he be called an alchemy master. He is not like casual cultivators like me, where the title of master is rampant. However, since Fellow Daoist Chen has already refined the Soul-Restoring Pill, he has at least one foot on the threshold of becoming an alchemy master, and he will be able to cross it soon."
Chen Yuan smiled and did not explain the rules of Lingyun Sect's Alchemy Pavilion to Nie Ming.
He stroked his storage bag, took out the silver flying sword he had obtained from Huang Yunshang, placed it on the table, and said:
"Chen has another favor to ask. Although this flying sword is a top-grade magical weapon, it is extremely hard. Two strikes can break a top-grade magical weapon, and it can even withstand a blow from a low-grade spiritual talisman without any damage. Could you please ask Brother Daoist Nie to identify what kind of spiritual material this sword is made of?"
Nie Ming smiled and said:
"This is easy, please wait a moment."
He stretched out his hand to take the flying sword, examined it carefully, his expression gradually became serious, and suddenly he touched his storage bag, took out a piece of green stone, held the silver flying sword, and cut it.
laugh.
The silver flying sword effortlessly split the green stone into two without any pause, and the cross-section was as smooth as a mirror.
At this time, his expression had become extremely cautious. He injected a trace of magic power into the flying sword and felt it carefully.
After a while, he opened his eyes and said slowly:
"If I'm not mistaken, this flying sword has some silver stones mixed into it!"
"Silver Gang Stone?"
Nie Ming explained:
"Silver Gang Stone is a mid-grade spiritual material, the main material for refining spiritual flying swords. It is extremely precious. A lot of Silver Gang Stone is mixed into this sword, so it is so hard. Not to mention a top-grade magic weapon, even a top-grade magic weapon can be broken."
Chen Yuan was slightly pleased when he heard this, but Nie Ming immediately said:
"It's a pity that the sword was made with crude techniques. Apart from the silver stone, the spiritual materials used are too ordinary. Apart from being tough and sharp, it has no other special features." Chen Yuan pondered for a moment and said:
"Could Brother Nie upgrade it to a top-grade magical weapon?"
Nie Ming shook his head:
"This sword was mixed with silver stone when it was refined, and the foundation has been laid. If you want to refine it again, you must add medium-grade spiritual materials. Ordinary low-grade spiritual materials cannot be integrated into the sword body. Although Nie has two kinds of medium-grade spiritual materials, they are not suitable for refining flying swords. If you have suitable spiritual materials, I can refine this sword for you."
Chen Yuan frowned slightly:
"What kind of spiritual materials are needed to re-forge this sword?"
"Silver Gang Stone is the best, followed by Black Iron Essence, Black Jade, and Green Fluorite. But I suggest that Fellow Daoist Chen does not need to rush to refine it again. This sword has great potential, but it is a pity to upgrade it to a top-grade magic weapon. If you can find enough spiritual materials, you can upgrade it to a spiritual weapon in one fell swoop."
Chen Yuan nodded, put away the silver flying sword, and bowed:
"Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist Nie. I have already retrieved the Dingguang Mirror. I don't want to bother you any further. I will take my leave now."
"No, I am ashamed that I could not help you..."
Nie Ming still had to refine magical weapons, so he did not try to keep Chen Yuan and personally sent him out of Baoguang Pavilion.
After Chen Yuan left Baoguang Pavilion, he walked directly out of Lingyun Market.
The Dingguang Mirror was repaired, and his last purpose of coming to the market town had been achieved. It was time to return to the sect.
In the past four months, he participated in several underground trade fairs and saw many treasures, including some excellent and top-grade magical instruments that were comparable to the Dingguang Mirror.
Chen Yuan carefully selected and bought two top-grade magical weapons, a flying sword and a set of flying knives, to be used as the main attack.
The flying sword is named Chixiao and is scarlet in color. When it is controlled with full strength, the sword body will be covered with a layer of flames, burning the opponent's magic weapon. It is extremely domineering and is particularly restrained against wood-based magic weapons.
Chen Yuan spent nine hundred spirit stones to beat out many bidders and win the bid for the sword.
There are seven flying knives in that set, which is a rare set of magical weapons called Seven Star Blades. They are extremely sharp, fast, and good at group battles.
But the only bad thing about it is that it consumes a lot of spiritual energy.
If a cultivator's spiritual awareness is not strong, he will not be able to control this set of flying knives at will, let alone control other magical weapons.
The Seven-Star Blade magic weapon is so extreme that even though it is extremely powerful, it was still coldly received at the trade fair.
But this is not a problem for Chen Yuan.
He only spent 830 spirit stones to get this set of Seven Star Blades, which was a great bargain.
In addition to these two top-grade magic weapons, Chen Yuan also accidentally came across the recipe for the Fuling Pill at a trade fair mainly attended by alchemists.
The Soul-Restoring Pill can allow a Qi-Refining cultivator to recover all his magic power within a quarter of an hour, and is extremely practical.
The two bottles of pills that Chen Yuan obtained from Huang Yunshang and Huang Yundao were the Fuling Pills.
As soon as the recipe was released, it caused fierce competition. Chen Yuanhao spent a thousand spirit stones, stood out among many alchemists, and bought the recipe.
Afterwards, he started to refine the Fuling Pill in preparation for his trip to Dongxu Mountain.
Chen Yuan has a powerful spiritual sense and can control multiple magical instruments at the same time, but his mana consumption is also far beyond that of ordinary cultivators.
If he didn't prepare a few more Soul-Restoring Pills, after entering Dongxu Mountain, every time he fought with others, he would have to meditate for several hours to restore his magic power. He would not have time to collect spiritual herbs.
However, the main ingredient of Fulingdan is purple-leaf lotus, a century-old magical herb that is very rare in the market.
Chen Yuan put in a lot of effort, but he could only gather five furnaces of spiritual herbs and refine fifteen soul-restoring pills, with a success rate of only 30%.
This was also one of the reasons why he was eager to return to the sect. Purple-leaf lotus was hard to find in Lingyun Market, but in the sect, there was no shortage of this kind of spiritual herb.
The Spring Festival is approaching and I am very busy, so the update is a little late. Sorry, there will be another update at 11pm.
