In a moment, the flames inside the cauldron burned vividly, and the fire lotus formed was not only beautiful, but also gained many special abilities. This is why Zhang Mu can rely more on it.
Although Xiaoyan has not truly escaped from the Xumo Cauldron, he has come to the conclusion that it is a great opportunity to wake up now. It will be even more difficult to truly recover his true body. It is ugly to say that
It's very possible that you'll never get another chance.
Of course, the premise is that Zhang Mu cannot reach the top. If he does by then, it will be hard to say, so everything is unknown. We can only go step by step, stuttering, don't go back to the past, and rush forward!
At this time, Zhang Mu's face showed a weak look. After all, refining inner armor was different from others. Basically, there should be no slacking off, otherwise all the previous efforts would be wasted.
Now these equipments are enough to be refined, but if they were destroyed once, it would really give him a headache.
Zhang Mu wiped the sweat from his head, patted his storage bag and took out a spiritual stone to absorb the spiritual energy and then convert it into spiritual power. Only in this way can he keep up with the speed of consumption.
After a while, Zhang Mu frowned, waved his hand and shouted: "Qi!"
Opening the top cover, Zhang Mu rotated his fingers once, and saw that the snake skin had been calcined into a silvery light, slowly melting into the realm of Xuhu, and was stored in the space.
Then watch him take out a strange iron stone. This is a device that increases the flexibility of the inner armor. It is called a tendril stone. It is also a very high-quality thing.
Zhang Mu threw the silk silk stone into the cauldron without thinking. With a wave of his hand, the cauldron lid was closed, and the fire lotus was formed again, emitting a faint heat and starting to burn.
Seeing that the musk stone is slowly burning red, we can only wait for the resources inside to be completely heated, and then conduct a violent calcination to divide it into several pieces for refining.
Doing this will not only retain the spirituality of the jinling stone, but also incorporate a trace of the spirituality of the transformed fire, making the inner armor refined much better.
I don't know how long it took, but the sweat on Zhang Mu's cheeks flowed into his mouth, and he didn't even taste the salty taste. He greedily sucked it all into his mouth. It can be seen that the refining equipment for a long time has been very lacking in moisture.
At this time, footsteps came from outside the cave, and Zhang Mu didn't pay attention because the person who came was not someone else, but Liu Li who was out looking for food.
Seeing that Zhang Mu's expression was very bad, Liu Li frowned and took out a bamboo tube from his storage bag, which was filled with clear stream water.
He came over, handed it to Zhang Mu's mouth, and said softly: "Drink some."
The corner of Zhang Mu's mouth moved slightly, and his whole body felt sore. He said in an emotionless voice: "Hurry up."
"hurry up?"
Seeing that Liu Li didn't seem to understand, Zhang Mu closed his eyes and said helplessly: "You should hurry up."
"No, you should drink it! Why hurry up?" Liu Li was really confused and didn't know what kind of medicine he was buying.
Zhang Mu was helpless and said with all kinds of resentment: "Brother, please keep pulling out the plug, I can't move my hands."
Upon hearing this, Liu Li nodded sharply and said with an embarrassed smile: "I'm confused." He quickly opened the stopper, put it to his mouth and started drinking.
The originally extremely sweet stream water slowly flowed into Zhang Mu's throat, and coupled with the body's long lack of water, it was as if it had been injected with stimulants, and a tyrannical power emerged spontaneously.
"Muzi, be careful. If it doesn't work, just take a rest. I'm going to heal my wounds." After seeing Zhang Mu nodding, he walked towards Lin and Han in the cave this time.
After Liu Li left, the silk stone in the cauldron also turned red. Zhang Mu opened his eyes wide and shouted: "Sick!"
As soon as the sound came out, a spiritual power was sent into the cauldron. The fire lotus suddenly emitted a rich flame, and the tendril stone shattered in response to the sound, turning into seven or eight small stones.
Seeing this, Zhang Mu showed a smile, turned his hands and shouted: "Fire Lotus, seal it!"
I saw that the fire lotus in the cauldron seemed to have spirituality. The three leaves on the first layer slowly covered it, wrapping the tendril stone inside it, so that it could have a better effect.
As the second layer of leaves was covered by the last layer of leaves, the melting speed of the musk stone increased significantly. This was something Zhang Mu figured out slowly.
Cultivation of immortality is a very long and boring journey, and there are many things to learn. No one can teach you step by step. After all, you are all fighting for fate. If he helps you, who will help him?
Although the refining speed will be much faster, it will also consume more spiritual energy, so there are advantages and disadvantages, and there is no perfect existence.
Zhang Mu's expression changed, and he took out a spiritual stone again and held it in his hand. Only then could the recovery speed of the two spiritual stones be equal to the consumption.
"Huh..." He breathed out, sweat streaked across the corner of his eyes, and suddenly a trachoma pain hit his whole body, but he was holding the spirit stone in both hands, so he could only respond with a helpless, innocent, and extremely resentful expression.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Mu squeezed the spirit stone in one hand and it turned into powder. He waved his hand and the first thing he did was not to manage the liquid in the cauldron, but to wipe his cheeks with his sleeves.
"Holy shit, the sand is killing me."
Then, he used his water spirit power to gather a ball of water droplets, and washed his face handsomely. This made his spirit relaxed a lot, and he began to refine another equipment.
It's a long night again, and short stubble has grown on Zhang Mu's lips. Although I don't know if the Qiankun Jue he practiced has the effect of keeping his appearance, but even if it does, it can't withstand the erosion of time.
Of course, if you have reached the Nascent Soul stage, your Nascent Soul power will be enough to compete with the world, and your appearance will remain as it is at this time.
Furthermore, Zhang Mu is just following his destiny at this time. It does not mean that after practicing the skills with beauty-preserving effects, he will grow old before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, but growing a beard is also a cyclical process.
That night, Zhang Mu finished refining five or six types of equipment, and the rest were some that were easy to refine. He was just waiting to see if he could refine the first piece of inner armor.
Zhang Mu wiped the stains on his face and straightened his clothes. Just when he remembered, he saw Sun Xiao walking in from outside.
"Muzi, it's so hard. Why don't you take a break and start again?" He took a bite of wild fruit and nodded: "Not bad, there is a future. You continue."
Zhang Mu exuded a "murderous" aura, stood up suddenly, rushed over to grab the wild fruit, slapped Sun Xiao on the back, laughed and cursed: "I was just going to go out to eat, and you came, no?"
Blame me for helping you refine inner armor."
Sun Xiao was so slapped that all the wild fruits in his mouth spurted out. He said with an innocent face, "I'm injured." After saying that, he walked over pretending to be very weak.
"Depend on!"
After eating for a while, Zhang Mu moved his hands and feet. After all, refining equipment is very boring. Occasionally, he needs to do some simple activities. After all, he is only a monk in the Qi refining stage.
Then, Zhang Mu took out the Xu Mo Ding, pointed his finger, and the silver snake skin appeared.
"Fire Lotus!"
Seeing the snake skin wrapped in fire lotus, Zhang Mu picked up several pieces of equipment in front of him and threw them in, waving his hand and saying: "Seal!"
The lid of the cauldron was quickly sealed, the fire lotus slowly closed, and the cauldron began to be fired in a closed manner again.
This time, the equipment was directly refined into liquid and then melted into the snake skin to ensure that too much spiritual energy would not be lost.
Three days later...
Hearing a soft shout from inside the cave, he saw silver snake skin flying out of the cauldron, floating in the air in a majestic manner.
Then Zhang Mu suddenly stood up, concentrating his spiritual power with one hand, and took the snake skin away with the other hand, took out a small spirit-renewing needle and a spirit-renewing thread, and began to do needlework.
After about a stick of incense, Zhang Mu made a piece of inner armor that was not very beautiful. He wiped his nose and said with a smile: "Haha, I'll give this one to Sun Xiao." After saying that, he threw it into the cauldron and started to bake it.
stand up.
After a while, Zhang Mu pointed and separated a stream of liquid, which was the equipment liquid used to form the spirit gathering array in the inner armor. Only in this way can the inner armor and one's own spiritual power exchange with each other.
Watching the liquid slowly swimming inside the inner armor, the sweat on Zhang Mu's cheeks became even more intense than before. This is not a rare thing, but it requires effort and concentration, and is more tiring than those.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Mu laughed and said, "Sun Xiao, look at your inner armor."
After hearing Zhang Mu's voice, all three people inside ran out. When they saw the inner armor in his hand, they all couldn't help but praise him.
"Not bad, it looks great!"
"Brother Muzi, give this to me."
"Xiao Han, this one is for Sun Xiao, yours will come later."
"oh."
Sun Xiao took it and put it on. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Haha, it's so cool. It's so cool."
After spinning around for a few times, Sun Xiao said with a look on his face that he wanted to be beaten: "Come on, hit me."
The three of them looked at each other, and Zhang Mu said: "It's not very good."
"It's okay. I asked you to fight. Let go. I can trust your inner armor."
Hearing this, Zhang Mu nodded and said: "Okay."
After hearing this, Sun Xiao quickly transferred spiritual power to the inner armor. After feeling that it was almost done, he said: "Come on."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Mu fiercely turned his hand into a fist and punched him. He heard a scream, and Sun Xiao flew towards the stone wall behind.
"Bang..."
"Ahem..." Sun Xiao stood up, holding his chest, pointing at the painful look on Zhang Mu's face, and after holding it in for a long time, he said two words: "You are cruel!"
As Zhang Mu and the others laughed loudly, Liu Li helped Sun Xiao into the cave and started practicing, leaving him to continue refining the inner armor.
A month later, Zhang Mu was wearing a seamless inner armor, and Liu Li's and Lin Han's were also similar. Only Sun Xiao was a little less warm, after all, it was just a test product.
I saw Sun Xiao saying harshly: "Shameless!"
However, this sentence did not win sympathy. Instead, Zhang Mu and the other three laughed loudly.
Although Sun Xiao's sewing is a bit unsightly, the defense is still the same. After many tests, it was determined that the inner armor is of the highest grade of spiritual energy.
If the inner armor of this sword can be resisted with all its strength, even a monk in the early stage of foundation building can probably save his life, which is considered a good thing.
