Chapter 217: Refining alchemy and making talismans
Looking at the dozens of ores in front of him, Ye Chen showed a faint smile on his face. With a wave of his big hand, a piece of fine iron ore flew up from the ground and hanged beside him. At the same time, the mana in Ye Chen's body slightly changed, and a hot flame shot out from his hand pointing out, wrapping a large piece of fine iron ore and burning it to his heart's content.
The fine iron ore wrapped in hot flames shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, slowly turning into a fist-sized liquid. When the hot flames were baked, it emitted a fiery red light, and as Ye Chen waved his fingers, it flew into a stone container beside it and stored.
After refining a piece of refined iron ore, Ye Chen did not hesitate at all. The mana in his body was slightly circulated. Another piece of refined iron ore flew out of thin air and floated beside Ye Chen, wrapped in hot flames, baked, took out impurities, slowly turned into a ball of fiery red liquid, which was sent by Ye Chen to a stone container beside it and stored.
In half an hour, Ye Chen continuously refined and purified ten fine iron ores, two fine copper ores, and stored them in stone containers respectively.
After refining and purifying the main materials of iron, copper and chromium, Ye Chen showed a faint smile on his mouth. With a wave of his hand, a stream of magic power shot out from his body, wrapping up the liquid refined and purified by iron, copper and chromium ore, and floating out of thin air in front of Ye Chen.
At the same time, Ye Chen's mana was rapidly moving, and with a light shout, a stream of hot flames shot out from his fingers, wrapping more than ten balls of ore liquid, making it fiery red. Then, with Ye Chen's intention, it slowly merged together and turned into a long sword that was one meter long, one inch wide, and no sharp edges on both sides.
Looking at the gradually forming sword, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Ye Chen's mouth, his mental power was highly concentrated, his physical and magic power was rapidly moving, his fingers were slightly moved, and invisible pure magic power shot out from his body and turned into a carving pen, which was carved on the gradually forming sword, and straight or curved lines were formed on the long sword.
An hour later, with Ye Chen's whisper, a stream of pure magic power focused on the three magic arrays engraved on the long sword. Suddenly, the three-point magic array made a crisp sound. The sword instantly emitted a series of dazzling lights and quickly dimmed, and hid into the inside of the long sword together with the magic array. At this point, the three magic arrays, including toughness, sharpness, and spirit gathering techniques, that Ye Chen portrayed on the long sword, were successfully completed.
The magic power in his body slightly turned, and the long sword that had just been refined flew into Ye Chen's palm. As his palm touched, the long swords that had not opened on both sides were slowly opened, revealing a sluggish cold light.
Looking at the sharp sword in his hand that was so cold that it was a hint of smile on the corner of Ye Chen's mouth, and he did not use the sound of his body. He just waved it forward casually, and a sword light about foot long shot out from it and sank into the ground, leaving a sword mark about meter long on the hard ground.
After looking at the sword marks left by the long sword, Ye Chen's face showed a look of satisfaction, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he put the sharp sword in his hand into the space ring. His magic power slightly turned in his body, and the fine iron ore accumulated on the side flew out of thin air and floating in front of Ye Chen.
The long sword that Ye Chen had successfully refined just now was not a flying sword for spiritual weapons, but a sharp long sword that carved a magic array. It could not be stored in his body, but had an attack power comparable to a low-grade spiritual weapon. It was a weapon specially prepared by Ye Chen for his trip to Demon Valley.
The trip to the Demon Valley is extremely dangerous. In just one month, it is relatively difficult to collect enough refining materials, refine a spiritual weapon, and make some powerful talismans. It is far less than refining a few long swords with extremely sharp attack power and comparable to low-grade spiritual weapons for use for the time being. After returning from the Demon Valley, there is enough time to collect materials and refine powerful spiritual weapons.
At this time, Ye Chen's cultivation level has reached the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Soon after, he can advance to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage and move towards the Dan-Creating Stage. Especially if he can obtain Nether Grass in the depths of the Demon Valley and refine the Golden Pill, the time for his promotion to the Dan-Creating Stage is greatly reduced and his strength is greatly improved.
Once Ye Chen's cultivation level reaches the stage of Dan-Creating, ordinary spiritual weapons will not have much effect on him. As long as the Xuantian Flying Sword recorded in the "Xuantian Treasure Book" is its best choice, because the Xuantian Flying Sword is the only weapon to cooperate with the Xuantian Sword Formation, it must be refined. Otherwise, it will not be able to practice the extremely powerful Xuantian Sword Formation. It can only practice some attack and defensive spells with average power, and cannot become a powerful cultivator with over-level combat power.
A few hours later, Ye Chen refined two sharp long swords this time, and his mental power was greatly depressed. He could not continue to refine the long sword, so he sat cross-legged, used his body's skills to absorb the rich spiritual energy in the courtyard, tempered the flesh and blood meridians, refined it into the magic power in his body, and restored the consumed mental power.
The next morning, Ye Chen opened his closed eyes, full of energy, and looked high-spirited. After eating a little barbecue casually, he continued to motivate the magic power in his body and refine a sharp sword.
Three days later, Ye Chen put the tenth sharp sword he had refined into the space ring, and waved his hand, an exquisite alchemy furnace and a large pile of medicinal materials flew out of the space ring and landed on the ground beside him.
After looking at the exquisite alchemy furnace in front of him, Ye Chen casually opened the flame valve of the alchemy furnace and released the scorching flame. At the same time, the mana in his body slightly changed. After various treatments, he was put into the alchemy furnace. Under the baking of the flames, various changes occurred slowly, and finally formed pills that could replenish mana in the body, practice meridian trauma in the body or treat external trauma, and other effects were stored by Ye Chen one by one and put into the space ring.
Half a month later, Ye Chen had a success rate of 30%, and refined a large number of thousands of years of medicinal materials into pills with various effects, and put them in the space ring for later use.
After refining weapons and pills, Ye Chen rested for two days and began to make powerful talismans.
Whether it is refining weapons or elixirs, Ye Chen did not do much, and the success rate was pretty good. He refined a large number of weapons and pills. However, Ye Chen only saw the various powerful talismans in the "Xuantian Treasure Book" and practiced in the ocean of consciousness, but did not really make them in reality. Therefore, Ye Chen was mentally prepared for failure and planned to practice for a few days first, and refine a batch of talismans in the last few days to reserve more powerful talismans for the trip to the Demon Valley.
After being mentally prepared, Ye Chen waved his hand and a square table appeared in front of him, a container filled with blood of monsters, a brush carved with talismans, and a stack of treated animal skins were neatly placed on the square table, waiting for Ye Chen to use.
After taking a look at the items on the square table, Ye Chen took a deep breath, took a handful of animal skins, and practiced the production process of the Fire Dragon talisman in his mind, then picked up a brush and dipped it in the blood of the monsters, and quickly portrayed it on the animal skins.
After a moment of treatment, philosophical lines appeared on the extremely clean animal skin, and as Ye Chen waved his arm, the lines slowly formed a complete circuit.
boom!
With a loud bang, the animal skin on the square table automatically burned and turned into a piece of ashes. The square table was intact under the protection of Ye Chen's magic power.
Looking at the flying ashes that were spontaneously ignited and turned into by the animal skin on the square table, Ye Chen was already mentally prepared, and his expression remained unchanged. He waved his hand and cleaned the flying ashes on the square table. He took out a piece of the animal skin, picked up the brush in his hand, dipped it in the blood of the monster, and began to carve it.
boom!
In a moment, the animal skin on the table naturally turned into ashes, while Ye Chen did not hesitate at all. He removed the ashes on the square table, took out a piece of animal skin, and carved it with the brush in his hand.
One failure, two failures, three failures, twenty failures.
After twenty consecutive portrayings, there was no success. Ye Chen's face changed slightly, and his heart was full of sway. Should he rest for a while and be carrying out the great cause of making talismans?
"Make it again, if it's not successful, just take a rest!"
Ye Chen, who was a little unwilling to fail in his heart, secretly encouraged himself.
Ye Chen took a piece of animal skin, and the brush in his hand was dipped in the blood of the monster. His mental power was highly concentrated, and the lines containing philosophy appeared in his mind. The brush in his hand, under the waving of his arm, quickly left lines containing philosophy on the skin, and quickly formed a perfect circuit, emitting a faint energy fluctuation.
"Success!"
Looking at the perfect circuit formed on the animal skin and lines emitting a faint energy fluctuation, Ye Chen showed a happy smile on his face and couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
The continuous failures greatly reduced Ye Chen's confidence. This success made Ye Chen regain his confidence and no longer feel tired. He took a piece of animal skin with excitement on his face, held the brush in his hand, dipped it in the blood of the monster, and continued to carve the talisman.
Maybe it was because of luck, or maybe it was because practice made perfect. After the first success, Ye Chen made three talismans in a row, and two of them were successful, which made Ye Chen's confidence soar and he began to portray them regardless of his fatigue.
Three days later, after thousands of consecutive productions, Ye Chen's success rate in making the Fire Dragon Art Talisman reached a terrifying eighth level, and within three days, he successfully produced 300 Fire Dragon Art Talismans.
The three hundred talismans of Fire Dragon Technique were enough for Ye Chen to use, so Ye Chen stopped making talismans of Fire Dragon Technique and began to attack another talisman, Heavenly Thunder Technique.
The power of the Heavenly Thunder Technique is extremely powerful, and it is extremely difficult to make the Heavenly Thunder Technique talisman. After a week of continuous production, thousands of animal skins and the blood of corresponding monsters, Ye Chen increased the success rate of the Heavenly Thunder Technique talisman by five levels, and stored five hundred Heavenly Thunder Technique talismans within a week.
After successfully producing 500 talismans of the Heavenly Thunder Technique, less than a week had passed since he went to the Demon Valley. Ye Chen ignored the rest and launched a fierce attack on various talismans such as Ice Closure Technique, Armor Technique, Wind Blade Technique.
Perhaps it is because Ye Chen has the foundation and experience in making talismans, or perhaps it is because the power and difficulty of making talismans such as the Frozen Art and the Strong Armor Technique are much higher than that of the Fire Dragon Art and the Sky Thunder Art. Therefore, Ye Chen made the Frozen Art and the Strong Armor Technique very fast. In just three days, he successfully produced thousands of Frozen Art and the Strong Armor Technique and other talismans, making Ye Chen's attack methods more varied and flexible.
After nearly a month of refining alchemy and talismans, Ye Chen's mental power has been slightly improved through high-intensity work, and the purity of magic power in his body has also been slightly improved. With the successful refining of weapons, elixirs and talismans, Ye Chen's strength and combat power have increased dramatically. He has made full preparations for his trip to the Demon Valley, so he sat cross-legged in the courtyard to practice, quietly waiting for the arrival of time to go to the Demon Valley.
