Volume 1, Chapter 87 Cultivating Immortals
Ye Mo returned to the cabin bedroom, entered the ancient painting, and handed over a blueprint of the Xuantie Spirit Sword that he had bought with great difficulty to the little fox.
The little fox was pleasantly surprised.
"With this Xuantie Spirit Sword drawing, I will be able to refine it soon, hehe!"
Ah Li took the drawings and put Ye Mo, the master, aside, and devoted himself to studying how to refine the Xuantie Spirit Sword.
Ye Mo watched from the side for a while, didn't disturb Ah Li, and quietly withdrew from the ancient painting.
After practicing the water archery technique in the cabin for half an hour, Ye Mo entered the ancient painting again, wanting to see the progress of the refining weapon.
However, Ah Li still held the refining drawings and watched them with relish.
After repeating this several times, Ye Mo's eagerness gradually calmed down.
"You can't be in a hurry, refining tools is not something that can be done overnight. If I were to refine the sword myself, I am afraid it would take a few months or even a year or two before I could get started with refining and become an apprentice in refining. Ah Li can refine weapons, but it also takes a little time to ponder. ”
Ye Mo began to calm down and re-cultivate the water archery technique. I plan to enter the Ancient Painting Immortal Village once a day to check the progress of Ah Li's refining.
One night passed, at dawn the next day.
Ye Mo entered the Ancient Painting Refining Workshop again.
"Master, I have already refined a Xuantie Spirit Sword!"
Ah Li held a black spirit sword as if offering a treasure.
"So fast! I have refined the Xuantie Spirit Sword in one night! I once asked the refining apprentices in Donglai Immortal Village, those refining apprentices have to study for at least a year, and the yield rate is only about 20%. If you let those refining apprentices know the Dao, Ah Li will be able to refine the Xuantie Spirit Sword in one day, and he will definitely praise you for being a genius. ”
Ye Mo was overjoyed and hurriedly took over the black spirit sword.
He didn't exaggerate that the refining boy in Donglai Immortal Village generally had to stay up for a few years before he could become a refining apprentice. And the refiner apprentice becomes a refiner, which is also very long, five or ten years is normal.
"Hee-hee!
The little fox looked proud.
Ye Mo carefully looked at the sword body and found that there were two hair-like fine lines, so he couldn't help touching them, and said to the little fox, "However, there are still two very subtle cracks in the sword body of this Xuantie Spirit Sword, will this affect the durability?"
"Ah, I was discovered by the master, this is actually just an inferior Xuantie Spirit Sword! When the refining was built last night, I accidentally didn't master the heat well, and there were two more small cracks, and the quality dropped a lot, and it couldn't meet the requirements on the refining drawings.
The refining blueprint said that with each additional small crack like a hair, the durability of the spirit sword would be reduced by one percent. Cracks are unqualified and inferior products. ”
Ali stuck out her tongue and laughed.
Ye Mo nodded, secretly wondering if he would sell this inferior Xuantie Sword at a low price.
"But it doesn't matter, I'll put it back in the furnace and refine it again. ”
Ah Li had already taken the inferior dark iron sword and threw it back into the furnace to rebuild it.
"Uh, the inferior Darkiron Sword can be reheated!"
Ye Mo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he was stunned. He also thought that this inferior spirit sword could not be sold for money, and he regretted in his heart that he had wasted materials.
"Refining materials are generally recyclable. Not only this Xuantie Sword, but also some other discarded spiritual weapons, as long as the owner takes them back, they can decompose useful materials and refine them again. ”
Ali continued as she added wood to the furnace, "Refining is not the same as alchemy. If the alchemy is wasted, the materials will be useless, and it will not be possible to return to the furnace for re-refining. ”
"Hmm!"
Ye Mo nodded, taking it to heart.
Ah Li's spiritual intelligence is extremely high, and his talent in refining weapons can be described as a genius.
Ye Mo admired it very much, at least if he refined the weapon himself, he would never reach the level of Ah Li.
The second Xuantie Sword refined by Ah Li had completely reached the standard and had become a qualified first-order Xuantie Spirit Sword. The rate of inferior products is very low, and only two or three out of ten handles are inferior.
A few days passed, and Ye Mo's inventory of Xuantie swords in the ancient paintings gradually increased.
"Ah Li, when will you be able to refine the second-order Xuantie Sword?"
"The refining difficulty of the second-order Xuantie Sword is much higher than that of the first-order! If you refine the second-order Xuantie Sword now, I'm afraid that the yield rate is only about two or three percent, and a large number of them will be re-refined, which will delay time!"
Ah Li scratched her head a little annoyed, and said, "When I am more proficient in refining weapons, I will soon be able to use a second-order spirit sword." Master, you wait first!"
Ah Li was busy refining weapons.
After Ye Mo learned about it, he didn't bother. The skill of refining weapons takes a long time to improve.
He brought one or two Xuantie Spirit Swords and sold them at the night market in Donglai Immortal Village, earning spirit stones for cultivation.
Compared to the Five Elements Spirit Sword with Five Elements Attributes, Ye Mo's Xuantie Spirit Sword was naturally a very low-grade spirit weapon.
But no matter how low-grade it is, as long as the price is low enough, it will also attract the attention of other poor monks. The price of the first-order five-element spirit sword on the market is one hundred spirit stones, and the price of the first-order Xuantie spirit sword is twelve or thirteen spirit stones.
Every day after dark, Ye Mo sold the Xuantie Sword piecemeal at the price of ten spirit stones at the night market in Immortal Village, and sold it to those who lacked money but needed the spirit sword.
As for the buyer's question about the origin of the spirit sword, Ye Mo said that it was a few pieces of loose goods brought by a friend through a sea ship, just to make a little money.
This kind of reselling on the stalls is normal in various immortal villages in the East China Sea. There are even some low-level monks who specialize in running merchants, reselling goods between various immortal villages, buying low and selling high to earn the difference. As long as it is not particularly sensitive, it will not attract attention.
Ye Mo is basically a business without capital, which can be said to be zero cost.
After spending more than ten days setting up a stall, Ye Mo finally accumulated more than a hundred spirit stones. He estimated that this spirit stone should be able to buy a slightly better book of immortal cultivation exercises.
Ye Mo had already been to the store to see that the most rubbish exercises also required more than ten spirit stones, and a slightly better exercise would start at a price of one hundred spirit stones.
That night, Ye Mo brought more than 100 spirit stones he had earned and hurried to a shop in Donglai Immortal Village that sold all kinds of secret tips.
If there is no secret to the exercises, how can you talk about cultivating immortals?!
Ye Mo was poor before, and he couldn't afford to buy the secret book at all, and his cultivation had been stopped at the first layer of the Qi cultivation period that had just broken through the Yuan Shen, and he didn't make an inch.
Now that I have the spirit stone in hand, of course, I have to hurry up and buy the secret book for cultivating immortals. If you delay it for a day, you will delay your cultivation.
This secret shop is not very big.
When Ye Mo entered, there were several monks shopping.
"This fellow Daoist, what do you need? This shop has all kinds of cultivation exercises, rune seals, everything, and it is the best shop in the fairy village. ”
A martial artist in his twenties hurriedly ran over enthusiastically to ask.
Ye Mo rolled his eyes when he heard this, there were only two or three secret shops in Donglai Immortal Village. This is the largest in the village, and naturally it is the best.
"I'm going to buy a cultivation exercise!"
Ye Mo glanced at the container and saw the classification of exercises.
"Which series of secrets does the immortal master need?"
The guy asked.
"Which one? I don't really know. ”
Ye Mo was stunned.
He had read in ancient books that monks had different spiritual root systems, but he didn't know that he had his own spiritual roots.
"Ah, the immortal master has just started to cultivate, it's best to let the shopkeeper look at the spiritual root for you first!"
The guy reacted immediately, and hurriedly said with a smile, leading Ye Mo inside.
"Shopkeeper, this newly promoted immortal master wants to buy cultivation exercises. ”
The man led Ye Mo to an old man in his sixties and said respectfully.
The old shopkeeper sat behind the counter, holding a worn-out ancient book, looking at it intently, hearing the voice of the man, he slowly put the book down, and looked at Ye Mo carefully.
"Fellow Daoists don't know which system of cultivation exercises to buy?"
The old shopkeeper took a sip of tea and asked lightly.
"I just became a monk in the next generation, so I don't know much. I'm tired of introducing you. ”
Ye Mo shook his head and said. He didn't know what exercises he bought, he was just a pure newcomer.
"Since this is the case, the old man will tell you that there are nine categories of immortal cultivation exercises according to the attributes of the spiritual root. The spiritual root attribute can be divided into metal, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, and darkness.
Each attribute corresponds to a type of exercise, of which eight are the exercises of our human race. The dark system is a ghost clan exercise, so I won't mention it.
Of course, there are also immortal cultivation exercises, which are exercises that have no attribute requirements, and anyone can practice them.
The matter of the spiritual root, Taoist friends must know the Tao. To choose an exercise, you must first know your spiritual root attributes. Otherwise, if you choose the fire attribute exercise, but your fire spirit root is very low, even if you can cultivate, the speed will be extremely slow, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
Daoist friends have measured their spiritual root attributes before?"
The old shopkeeper stroked his beard and said calmly.
"Nope!"
Ye Mo shook his head.
Regarding the statement of Linggen, he saw it in the "Biography of Xiuxian".
The only thing he was sure of was that he had a water attribute spiritual root, because he could cultivate and use water archery.
"Then the old man will help you test the spiritual root first. As long as the Taoist friends buy the exercises in our store, this test spiritual root, I will help you test it for free, and no money will be charged. ”
The old shopkeeper said with a smile.
"It's okay, then bother Brother Dao, help me test it!"
Ye Mo nodded. Regardless of whether he wants to spend spirit stones or not, he must test it, otherwise he is also a black, and he doesn't know what his situation is.
Ye Mo followed the old shopkeeper to a small cubicle at the back of the store.
The old shopkeeper took out a purple-black stone with a faint golden glow.
"This is the magic stone that measures the spiritual root. If you hold it tightly and infuse it with mana, you can see the condition of your spiritual root. ”
The old shopkeeper handed over the magic stone to Ye Mo and said.
Ye Mo took it a little nervously, took a deep breath, and then began to concentrate on injecting mana.
After injecting mana, this magic stone quickly glowed with eight colors of light, which was very brilliant and dazzling.
"Eight, eight?"
The old shopkeeper was obviously stunned for a moment.
He sighed slightly, shook his head slightly, and looked at Ye Mo's gaze with a little pity.
"Fellow Daoist, you are an eight-line spiritual root, and the big five elements and the small three wonders are complete. Such a complete spiritual root is also quite rare in the immortal cultivation world!
Of course, the more spiritual roots there are, the less strong each spiritual root will naturally be. In terms of gloss intensity, each is about between ten and fifteen points. The total spiritual root potential point is very high, but it is too scattered. What a pity!"
The old shopkeeper was strange.
Ye Mo's face became a little ugly.
What that means, he knows very well.
The spiritual root of a monk is not as much as possible, but the purer it is, the easier it is to cultivate. The better a certain spiritual root, the brighter the corresponding color will be when tested.
His eight spiritual roots are basically the same, which can be described as mediocre.
Ye Mo felt powerless, the spiritual root was brought from his mother's womb, and it was not something that could be changed if he wanted to change it the day after tomorrow.
No matter, mediocrity is mediocrity!
I was originally a civilian little martial artist, and since I have already refined the Yuan Shen and become an immortal cultivator, I have to go all out.
No matter how mediocre your qualifications are, you must also cultivate and improve.
I still have ancient paintings, and with the help of ancient paintings, I will definitely not be worse than other monks with high talents.
After a short loss, Ye Mo cheered himself up in his heart and secretly clenched his fists.
