However, this is not surprising. Although Lan Xue is a descendant of the Snow-winged Ice Dragon, she has the daily nourishment of the Yin power of Yang Yan, and has swallowed a drop of the essence and blood of the ancient Frost Sub-Dragon before. Although this makes his physique much stronger than similar Snow-winged Ice Dragons, he is still a monster himself. Moreover, breaking through to the Spirit Sea Realm requires extremely huge energy, but it is not as simple as Yang Yan and Qing'er.

The two and the beast continued to practice in this small valley for five days. During these five days, by absorbing the tremendous energy in the black seal, Yang Yan's strength was completely stabilized at the fourth level of the spiritual realm.

In fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, Yang Yan can still accelerate the absorption and refining of energy in the black seal. Although it can greatly improve its strength in a short period of time, it is not very good for his long-term practice path.

If the strength increases too quickly, the spiritual power in the body will be unstable. Compared with those cultivators who practice steadily at the same level, they will inevitably suffer a lot of losses when facing the enemy. If it is more serious, it will also hinder the improvement of strength in the future. This is undoubtedly what Yang Yan cannot accept the most.

Moreover, after five days of practice, the energy in the seal in Yang Yan's body finally showed signs of decrease in his induction, which was about one-fifth of the reduction.

If calculated at this refining speed, it will take about 60 days, or about two months to completely refine it.

And it is calculated by calculating that one-fifth of the current strength will be increased by one level; by then, Yang Yan's strength can reach the level of about eighth level of the Spiritual Realm.

Of course, this is just a rough estimate. After all, the energy required for each level of the spiritual realm is also different.

But they have been staying in the Duanyun Mountains for too long, so Yang Yan does not intend to stay here and wait until all the energy is refined.

"Let's go, I've been here for a long time."

On the early morning of the sixth day, Yang Yan got up early and said to Qing'er and Lan Xue.

Qing'er nodded obediently when she heard this. Instead, Lan Xue, who was beside her, started to scream when she heard that she was about to leave the Duanyun Mountains, and she was obviously extremely reluctant.

Of course, Yang Yan ignored his screams, took out a map from Qiankun bag, stroked his chin and thought for a while, and spoke.

Now they are in the Duanyun Mountains near the interior. It should be no problem for them to walk out of the Duanyun Mountains in three days, and after that, they will reach Dalin City in Feizhou.

Although Dalin City in Feizhou is a remote city-state in Feiyun Empire, its prosperity is no less than the previous Emperor City, and from a certain perspective, it must be even more than that in the same way.

Just because there is a holy place for weapon refiners.

Dalin City is located on the edge of the African state, and it is at the edge of the empire. The direction of Dalin City is the territory of the Tianlong Empire.

The reason why Dalin City is called the holy land of weapon refiners is that in ancient times, an unknown and fierce battle broke out there. In the past, countless weapon refiners with powerful soul power died there, but their souls drifted away. Over time, a terrible area like the tomb of a living dead was formed, and everyone was afraid of talking.

But one day, an ordinary old Taoist came here. After seeing this scene, he sighed lightly, then found some local weapon refiners and asked them to build a high tower. He himself used great power and did not know what methods he used to purify all the floating lonely souls.

Of course, the purification speed is quite slow, and new unjust souls are constantly appearing underground, including some powerful souls that have reached the fourth-grade weapon refiner.

As time goes by, the Dalin City, which was originally regarded as a place that people don’t want, became more and more prosperous because of the tower. It is just because the purified soul can be transformed into the most pure soul power, which can be absorbed and refined by human monks to enhance their soul power!

Is this temptation to enhance the power of the soul?

You should know that the improvement of the soul power of ordinary cultivators can only be slightly improved through the improvement of their spiritual power cultivation level. Only some major forces and sects with long-standing inheritance have some secret methods that can cultivate soul power.

As for this kind of directness, it is even rarer to obtain the purest soul power!

The tower created by that mysterious master is also called the Holy Spirit Tower.

It is worth mentioning that this Holy Spirit Tucker is not a building above the ground, but is underground, like an upside-down tower.

The Holy Spirit Tower is divided into seven layers. The deeper the underground, the more soul energy it is, the purest, so this place becomes the holy place in the hearts of countless weapon refiners.

It is precisely because of this reason that the Feiyun Empire and the Tianlong Empire were regarded as a piece of shabby place before, but later it became a popular commodity for the two countries to compete for, and even fought. The war between the two countries lasted for nearly five years and was in a state of anxiety, exhausting the people and causing complaints from the people nearby.

Later, the two countries proposed a reconciliation. After agreement, the younger generation of weapon refiners in their own country organized a weapon refining competition. After competition, the two sides took the highest level of magic weapons that could be refined in their respective camps. The magic weapons refined by the side were the highest, which was to win the three-year right to use the Holy Spirit Tower for their camp!

Yang Yan also had great expectations for the holy land in the hearts of countless weapon refiners in this empire. As a weapon refiner, he naturally knew how difficult it is to improve his soul power. According to Yang Yan, he is currently the Feiyun Emperor who is controlling the Holy Spirit Tower, but he doesn't know what conditions are needed to enter it. If conditions allow, Yang Yan really wants to go in.

After making up his mind, Yang Yan couldn't wait to set off with Qing'er Lan Xue.

Along the way, there was no change. After two days of nectar, the two finally arrived at the city of Dalin at dusk on the third day.

Of course, Lan Xue hid in Yang Yan's cuffs again.

When we arrived at Dalin City, the first thing that caught our eyes was the towering city walls five or six feet high, all made of hard yellow granite. Just above the city gate, the three gilded large characters "Dalin City" were very imposing. There were three steps and one stairs on the city wall, and one whistle at five steps. The guards were extremely strict. Even at the gate of the city entrance, there were a pair of people patrolling.

"Why is this Dalin City so like a great enemy..."

Seeing this situation, Yang Yan was also quite surprised.

"Hey, in a few days, the weapon refining meeting between Feiyun Empire and Tianlong Empire. The champion of this conference will decide the ownership of the Holy Spirit Tower in the next three years!"

"Which side do you think has a higher winning rate this year?"

"Of course it's me, our Feiyun Empire. To be honest, Frank, the president of the Artifact Refiner Union, and his eldest disciple Xue Qing has reached the level of being able to refine high-grade spiritual weapons! Miss Xue Qing is not only superb in artifact refining skills, but also naturally beautiful. Among us, the best among the younger generation in Dalin City, many of them love her!"

"Yes, but although Miss Xueqing is not bad, the Tianlong Empire is not an ordinary person. In the past, every weapon refining competition, the competition between the two sides was very anxious!"

"Hey, why do we say that we are not weapon refiners? Just be a melon-eating crowd!"

.........

Just as Yang Yan was feeling depressed, the conversation between the two middle-aged men passing by fell into Yang Yan's ears, and he immediately understood a little.

I think my luck is really good. I just came to Dalin City and met the weapon refining conference that was only held once every three years. I was really lucky. The Feiyun Empire and the Tianlong Empire are determined to win the Holy Spirit Tower. Therefore, especially in the days of the weapon refining conference, we must step up martial law and strictly prevent some people who are ill-hearted to take the opportunity to use any means.

"We're like staying in this Dalin City for a while!"

Yang Yan has a lot of interest in the Holy Spirit Tower.

Compared with the level of his spiritual power cultivation, the strong shield of his soul power did not match it. Before, Yang Yan was able to use soul attacks to make people of the same level lose their combat power directly. However, after reaching the spiritual realm, he used the sound wave attack on the Lion, Tiger, Beast King Xiao, but he still did not cause much damage to Tang Zhen.

Therefore, Yang Yan is quite eager to improve his soul power at this moment.

Qing'er nodded when she heard this. She also knew Yang Yan's identity as a weapon refiner, so he understood Yang Yan's plan.

Both of them didn't like the bustling place in the city, so they found a relatively secluded hotel on the edge of the city and settled down.

After settling down, Yang Yan also went out to inquire about this weapon refining conference.

This weapon refining conference will be held in five days. Except for some people from the Dalincheng Weapon Refining Masters Union, other people who want to participate can be qualified to participate as long as they pay a certain amount of spiritual crystals and pass the soul power test of the psychic stones in the Black Rock Square.

Moreover, this competition also has age restrictions, and is only for younger generations under the age of 25 to participate. This threshold also has special means of testing, so it is terrible that some people who want to make a fuss about age will be futile.

The reason why age is limited is to test the talent and strength of the younger generation of weapon refiners in the two empires.

After all, whether a country has strong potential depends on how great the potential the younger generation has. The same is true for refining weapons. The participation of the younger generation of refiners is also approved by the two countries after consultation.

Now Frank, the president of the Dalin City Weapon Refiner Union, not only has his own cultivation level as a strong man at the peak of the spiritual realm, but also a real fifth-grade weapon refiner!

A fifth-grade weapon refiner is a weapon refiner who is enough to refine treasures!

Therefore, Frank's reputation is not only in the Dalin City generation, even if he looks at the entire Feiyun Empire, he is a well-known figure.

It is rumored that the three major forces of the Feiyun Empire, Xuantian Palace, Wudao Sect and Fengyun Pavilion, have all given him olive branches, but they were all politely rejected by him.

Frank is a smart person. He knows that no matter which side she chooses to join, he will become a hostile to the other two sides. Moreover, with his weapon refining skills, he will definitely regard it as a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh, and he will try to get rid of it quickly.

The situation in the empire's immortal world is not clear now, and the situation of three-legged tyranny still exists. Before the final winner is confirmed, no matter which side he joins, it cannot be considered a good thing for him.

The three major forces are also wise and know Frank's plans, so they did not put much pressure on him again.

You should know that the appeal of weapon refiners in the immortal cultivation world is extremely powerful. Even when their three major forces face a fifth-grade weapon refiner, they dare not underestimate them and offend them.

But this situation is good. Since Frank chose not to join in either party, it is acceptable for them. Even if he can't get it, the other two forces will not be able to get it.

Such a subtle relationship has been maintained for decades, and Frank has been living in this city of Dalin, managing and controlling the weapon refiner union.

It can be said that half of the weapon refiners in the empire came from the Dalin City Weapon Refiners Union. For the weapon refiners in the Feiyun Empire, it is their greatest honor to be able to join the Weapon Refiners Union in their lifetime.

With Frank, a fifth-grade weapon refiner, the weapon refiner union, some weapon refiners from other parts of the empire came here to the reputation of the weapon refiner union. Even some weapon refiners in other empires who are close to enter the weapon refiner union. In addition to Frank's personal worship, the biggest reason is the Holy Spirit Tower. As long as you join the weapon refiner union, you will have the opportunity to enter the Holy Spirit Tower and perform soul baptism!

Of course, for these outsiders, the alchemist union will also undergo extremely rigorous investigations, otherwise it would be a little bad if the spies from other empires were infiltrated.

In addition to determining the ownership of the Holy Spirit Tower in the next three years, this weapon refiner conference also has an extremely attractive reward for the top five in this competition, which is the qualification to enter the Holy Spirit Tower for soul baptism!

That is an extremely rare opportunity, because the Holy Spirit Tower takes time to purify those resentful spirits, and those resentful spirits will always be consumed for a day. Therefore, every opening of the Holy Spirit Tower will attract countless people to squeeze their heads and even try to enter at all means!

At this weapon refiner conference, five places were given out at once, which is unprecedented. Even the time three years ago, there were only three places.

However, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is not a benefit, because all the places each time are weapons refiners in the weapon refiners union, as well as some people from the Tianlong Empire. Those who are unorganized weapon refiners are just a waste of spiritual crystals when participating in the competition.

Therefore, as every weapon refiner conference is like this, even though the rewards are very attractive, most people who choose to participate in the weapon refiner union still have the mentality of watching the fun.

However, this situation is naturally for others. For Mr. Yang Yan, those so-called geniuses of the weapon refiner union are not insurmountable in his eyes.

Now that he has successfully refined high-grade spiritual weapons before, he can barely be considered a third-grade weapon refiner. Although his success rate in refining high-grade spiritual weapons is not high, I believe that Xue Qing, the proud daughter of the weapon refiner union mentioned by others, would not have a high success rate.

Because Yang Yan, who has personally practiced it, understands how difficult it is to refine high-grade spiritual weapons. Even with his soul power, he feels gradually lost. Moreover, once there is a moment of distraction during the refining process, it will directly lead to the refining failure!

According to the rules of the competition, all participants have two chances to refine. After both failures, they will lose their qualifications and naturally they will miss the final reward.

Therefore, after fully understanding this weapon refining conference, Yang Yan also began to enter a state of retreat, but this retreat was not about cultivation, but about refining weapons.

It has been nearly a month since Yang Yan successfully refined a top-grade spiritual weapon last time. During this period, Yang Yan has been busy practicing spiritual power, but he has put the cause of refining weapons on the spot.

Now, the so-called "sharpening a gun in the face of the battle is not easy, so it is not harmful to practice more. Moreover, as his spiritual power cultivation has been improved to the fourth level of the spiritual realm, his soul power has also increased by a certain amount, which is also good news for Mr. Yang Yan.

This time, Yang Yan turned a blind eye to the matter outside the window and devoted himself to refining weapons. He didn't know how lively Dalin City was at this time.

In the Feiyun Empire, most weapon refiners have begun to gather towards Dalin City. After all, the weapon refining conference has only been held once every three years, but it is very rare. Even if some people do not participate, they can learn some unknown weapon refining skills from the process of the weapon refining geniuses participating in the competition.

In addition to weapon refiners, many other forces of all sizes also came. They planned to win over some good qualifications among the participating weapon refiners. If they could attract them to their own forces, it would be a great thing for them.

One of the criteria for measuring a large force is whether the sect has advanced weapon refiners or pharmacists in the position. If not, it can only be regarded as a second-rate force on the mainland.

Therefore, under the premise that these people have their own goals, the traffic flow in Dalin City has skyrocketed in just a few days. Even the remote hotel where Yang Yan and the others are located is crowded, and it is thanks to them that they came early, otherwise they would really not be able to find a place to stay.

During these days, Yang Yan stayed in the door and was immersed in refining weapons every day. His efforts were not in vain. In four days, Yang Yan successfully refined two high-grade spiritual weapons!

Although it was only two pieces, it was enough to make Yang Yan happy. This was much higher than the success rate when he was refining for the first time.

During this period, Yang Yan has made a total of about ten times, and twice, with an almost 20% chance of success.
To be continued...
