In this world, there are many major forces competing for cultivation resources... com
But there are also some hidden masters who are not involved in the world.
The foundry master Lin Jiaer mentioned is a hidden master. Even in this deserted city, not many people know about him.
As for the reason why Lin Jiaer knew about the existence of this casting master, it was because her father, the master of Yongchang Pavilion, was an old friend of this casting master.
Dahuang City was very big, so Lin Jia'er asked the others to go back first, and she walked with Luo Xiu in the city for about half an hour, and then came to a relatively deserted and dilapidated small alley.
Lin Jiaer stopped in front of a house with mottled walls and a slight slope that seemed to collapse at any time, "This is it. My father said that he is a fifth-level casting master and has been hiding here for hundreds of years."
, you have a rather eccentric personality, and I am not sure whether I am willing to cast soldiers for you."
While talking, Lin Jia'er walked forward, knocked on the door gently, and said softly: "Senior Lu, junior Lin Jia'er, a friend wants to ask senior to help cast soldiers."
The broken wooden door shook slightly, and a face made of flames appeared on the wooden door. He said in a hoarse voice: "Are you Lin Youtian's daughter? But I will not take action casually."
The eyes of the flaming face immediately fell on Luo Xiu again, and he said calmly: "Since the daughter of an old friend brought this person, it is not impossible for me to take action. What level of warriors do you want to cast? Needless to say, below the earth level.
Already."
"Earth steps." Luo Xiu said.
"Come in." The flame face said, and soon disappeared, and the broken wooden door slowly opened.
Luo Xiu and Lin Jia'er walked in together and found that there was a whole other world inside this room.
From the outside, the house looks dilapidated and dilapidated, and it is difficult to imagine that it is the residence of a master foundry.
But after entering, I found that the room was filled with strong fire energy. The space inside was very large, with a stove, a casting platform, and a pool placed in the center.
And the surrounding walls are engraved with countless formation patterns and rune reinforcements to block the aura leaking here.
In a corner of the room, there are pieces of war soldiers on display, including swords, guns, swords and halberds, and the level of each war soldier has reached the lowest level of the earth.
This is indeed a fifth-level casting master. Even if he is not as good as King Buchen Wu, he is not far behind.
At the same time, Luo Xiu also noticed this fifth-level casting master. He was an old man with a head as red as a blazing flame. He was wearing a gray robe and he was holding a yellowed ancient book in his hand and looking at it intently.
"Young man, take out the materials you plan to use to cast the warriors. I also want you to cast the warriors. You need a hundred middle-grade vitality stones as a reward." The old man in red closed the ancient book and put it aside.
One hundred pieces of mid-grade vitality stones are equivalent to 10,000 yuan of low-grade ones. This reward is a bit expensive. After all, the price of a low-grade earth-grade warrior is generally 20,000 yuan of low-grade ones.
However, what Luo Xiu needs is soldiers tailor-made for him. The price is a bit more expensive, but it is reasonable.
After thinking about this, Luo Xiu took out a hundred middle-grade vitality stones without thinking too much.
The old man in red didn't even look at it. He raised his hand and put away the vitality stone. He said in a hoarse voice: "One hundred middle-grade vitality stones are just the most basic reward. It depends on the grade of materials you take out and the casting of warriors."
Depending on the level of difficulty, I will also charge additional rewards."
Luo Xiu couldn't help being startled when he heard this, and secretly thought that Lin Jia'er was right. This old guy really has a weird personality. You didn't tell me about the extra reward first, but you took away a hundred yuan for the middle grade first.
Before Luo Xiu could speak, the red old man said again: "I will cast a warrior for you. You are not allowed to mention it to anyone else. Now take out the materials you want to cast a warrior for."
Luo Xiu didn't waste any time and directly took out a dozen forest long fangs that shone with cold light from the storage ring.
"The fangs of a fifth-level monster?" The red old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and then took a closer look, and a light suddenly flashed in his eyes, "Or the fangs of a fifth-order monster, a double-headed tiger?"
Luo Xiu was not surprised that the old man Hong could recognize the origin of the tiger teeth at a glance. He was a master who was proficient in casting and had come into contact with countless materials. It was normal for him to know the casting materials best.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Xiu took out a fist-sized piece of Xuanyin Iron from the storage ring.
"Fifth-level Mysterious Yin Iron?" The red old man's eyes lit up again, "This is a good treasure that can only be found in extremely Yin places."
Luo Xiu then took out several more materials, all of which had reached the fifth level, and were all materials with attributes that were biased toward Yin attributes.
As for higher-grade materials containing death attributes, Luo Xiu has never seen them before.
In fact, if some yang attribute materials are added, the warriors cast by the fusion of yin and yang will be even more helpful in improving his strength.
However, forging warriors is just like martial arts training. Materials with completely opposite properties are almost impossible to fuse, and Luo Xiu does not think that the red old man can do this.
Even among the treasure refiners of the ancient times, those who were able to fuse such completely opposite attributes as ice and fire, yin and yang, and life and death were rare, and they were all assisted by special secret techniques.
Seeing the materials that Luo Xiu took out, the old man Hong nodded and seemed quite satisfied, so he said: "The materials are pretty good and worth my while. You can go, Miss Lin. I don't like people watching when I'm casting warriors."
.”
"As for this kid, you can stay." The red old man pointed at Luo Xiu again.
Lin Jiaer saluted respectfully and then left the room.
"The materials you took out are all yin-attributed materials between the two extremes of yin and yang. What you practice should also be yin-attributed techniques, right?" asked the red old man.
Luo Xiu nodded, slowly opened his palms, and the Netherworld Death Flame leaped and burned.
"What a strong flame." The red old man narrowed his eyes slightly, "Your flame does not contain the Yin attribute, but the death attribute! Moreover, the intensity of the flame, and the natal true fire condensed by many fourth-level casters, may not be as powerful as yours.
"
Luo Xiu didn't expect that the red old man could actually see that his true essence contained the attribute of death, and his expression showed a hint of surprise and alertness.
His reaction was seen by the red old man, but he saw the other person curled his lips and sneered: "Don't be afraid that I will be interested in the exercises you practice. I practice fire-based exercises with yang attributes. Even if you
If you give me the skills, I won't be able to practice them."
"However, it is precisely because my true fire has a yang attribute. Casting soldiers with yin-attribute materials will damage the yin attribute in the material, so the quality of the soldiers cast will be relatively poor."
As he spoke, the red old man frowned and said as if talking to himself: "If you use your own flames containing the attribute of death to smelt the material, the properties will not be damaged."
"Boy, come here." The red old man walked to the copper-colored stove and said.
Luo Xiu walked forward as instructed, and the red old man pointed at the copper furnace, "Gather the flames and pour them into the furnace."
"I don't know about casting." Luo Xiu frowned and said.
"Nonsense, of course I know you don't know how to cast. I only need you to provide the flame, and I didn't ask you to cast it."
The red old man snorted, "If you don't use your own flames to cast them, I can't guarantee the quality of the soldiers. Moreover, if you use your own flames to smelt the materials, the soldiers you cast will be connected to your mind and be more powerful."
.”
"That's it." Luo Xiu immediately condensed the death flames of the netherworld and blasted them into the copper furnace in front of him.
Later, according to the request of the red old man, Luo Xiu needed to control the intensity of the flame and gradually melt the material. Depending on the material, the intensity of the flame also had requirements. Just like alchemy, you need to control the temperature of the fire. It does not mean that the greater the power of the flame, the more powerful it will be.
good.
What surprised the old man Hong was that Luo Xiu's control over flames was extremely high, and his fire control skills were as good as his own, or even better.
Even the old man Hong thought that Luo Xiu himself was a caster, but this guy really knew nothing about casting, not even the most basic things.
Could it be that this guy is an alchemist?
Alchemists, like casters, have extremely high requirements for fire control.
"I am indeed an alchemist."
When the old man Hong asked, Luo Xiu didn't hide anything. Besides, there was nothing to hide about this kind of thing.
"How many grades?" the red old man narrowed his eyes and asked again.
From the perspective of fire control techniques, the fifth-level master is also inferior, but the level of an alchemist and caster cannot be judged solely by fire control techniques.
"Fourth grade." Luo Xiu replied.
In fact, he can now refine fifth-grade elixirs, but there is no need to say it.
"Good boy, at a young age, you have reached the seventh level of god refining, and you are also a fourth level alchemy master. Which sect are you from, and who is your master?" The old man in red became curious about Luo Xiuyu.
"Master said that I am not allowed to tell others about my origins without his permission." Luo Xiu said apologetically.
"Oh?" The red old man showed surprise again, but did not continue to ask.
In this world, in addition to the big forces on the surface, there are also some hidden families and sects. The red old man, with his cultivation as King Wu and his status as a fifth-level master, can also know some unknown things.
The process of smelting the materials took three days. During this period, Luo Xiu's true energy was greatly depleted. He had to take pills to restore his true energy every time, so he finally persisted.
Ever since he learned about alchemy, Luo Xiu knew how difficult it was to become an alchemist, and how difficult it was for an alchemist to refine a furnace of elixirs and increase the success rate.
Compared with an alchemist, the art of casting is certainly not easy. It takes three days to just smelt the materials, and the heat must be accurately controlled during the entire process. It is difficult for ordinary people to do this. It is no wonder that the masters of casting and alchemy masters
So rare.
After the materials are smelted, there are some tedious fusion processes. It is not just a matter of directly mixing the melted materials together, but requires special proportions, as well as the matching and sequencing of different materials, which contains the concept of casting.
During this process, the red old man kicked Luo Xiu out because this already involved some of his secret techniques in casting.
After another six days passed, the closed wooden door slowly opened, and a large black sword was thrown out. It hit the ground with a bang, and the sword body was sunk in the soil, causing dust to fly.
"After smelting hundreds of kilograms of Xuanyin iron and adding various other materials, the weight of this sword reached 1,800 kilograms. I almost died from exhaustion!"
The hoarse voice of the red old man came from the room. He was indeed a little weak. It was obvious that the past six days had consumed a lot of money in the process of completing the casting process.
Generally, martial arts cultivators have no weight requirements for soldiers, but Luo Xiu took out too many materials. Even if the impurities were quenched and fused together, they still weighed 1,800 kilograms.
Luo Xiu stepped forward and picked up the black sword. His palm trembled slightly before he held the heavy sword firmly and wielded it like an arm.
Although the grade of this sword is only low-grade, it is only as powerful as the middle-grade sword due to the large amount of smelted materials.
It's just that such a heavy sword would be difficult for ordinary martial arts practitioners to use. Only body-refining martial arts practitioners can use it.
Luo Xiu was very satisfied with this sword, waved it a few times, and then walked into the room.
"Thank you, senior." Seeing the pale old man, Luo Xiu thanked him sincerely.
"Needless to say polite words, casting soldiers for you cost me a lot, so I need extra reward." The red old man curled his lips.
Luo Xiu couldn't help but laugh. After getting along with him for a few days, he also knew that senior Zun Lu had such a straightforward temperament.
"I wonder what kind of reward Senior needs?" He also asked directly.
"A fifth-level demon elixir!" A smile appeared on the old man's face. "You have the fangs of a double-headed ghost tiger, so you should also have a demon elixir, right?"
The double-headed ghost tiger is a relatively rare fifth-level monster. The old man in red didn't know where Luo Xiu got the tiger teeth. He only cared about whether there was a monster pill.
Demonic elixirs are only found in the bodies of demonic beasts that have reached the fifth level. They are of great use in formations, alchemy, and casting.
"Nuo, here you go." Luo Xiu smiled, then flicked his finger, and a black demon pill flew towards the red old man.
"Hey, what a treasure!" The old man in red grabbed it with a smile on his face.
"Well, it is indeed a good baby."
Luo Xiu also looked at the sword that had just come out of the furnace with a hint of hot air in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
"Since it is made of Xuanyin iron and Tongyou tiger teeth, let me call you Tongxuan tiger tooth sword!"
