Chapter 508 The Last Lesson

Chapter 508 The Last Lesson

Although you can refine your own natal magic weapon, the difficulty of refining it will be much reduced.

But after all, it is still a magic weapon. No matter what, the requirements for weapon refining skills cannot be too low.

Otherwise, it will inevitably affect the quality of the natal magic weapon, which Liu Yu cannot accept.

So even though he was a bit short on time, he still had to squeeze out some time every day to learn to refine weapons.

After a lot of practice, over time, I have reached the level of refining high-grade magic weapons.

"Zi Zi"

Under the golden-red elixir fire, some low-level spiritual materials were easily melted and turned into iron-like liquids of different colors suspended in the air.

The elixir fire of the Golden elixir monk is already very powerful, and it can have good effects in the same level of fighting.

Even the temperature is much better than ordinary earth vein fire.

At this time, dealing with these low-level spiritual materials is like using a cannon to fight mosquitoes, of course it is easy to capture.

It only took half a quarter of an hour to calcine, and the spiritual material that was usually extremely hard for low-level monks was easily refined.

The impurities are separated bit by bit.

Refining and purifying, separating impurities, condensing and forming, and inscribing runes

Under the golden-red firelight, Liu Yu's expression was extremely focused, and his spiritual consciousness controlled the entire process, separating the impurities in various spiritual materials bit by bit.

At this point, the advantages of cultivation are fully revealed.

With the powerful spiritual consciousness and power of the mind of the Jindan monk, he can multi-task and refine several spiritual materials at the same time, which greatly speeds up the entire refining process.

Of course, the faster the process, the faster the spirit stones will be consumed, because the chance of success in Liu Yu's refining is much lower than the chance of failure.

"buzz"

Two quarters of an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the various inscriptions with different effects on the high-grade spear weapon that Liu Yu refined this time had been completely engraved.

Success or failure is the next moment!

The runes are not finished yet after they are engraved, they must be fused with the embryo of the magic weapon to truly refine it successfully.

Otherwise, the integration of the runes will fail, and even if the refined magic weapon is not completely scrapped, it will still fall far short of the expected grade and have defects of one kind or another.

To some extent, it is definitely a failure.

The golden-red elixir fire slowly shrank, but the temperature did not drop but increased, burning the already formed magic weapon even more solidly.

"buzz"

Under the high-intensity calcining, the spear weapon continued to tremble. If it weren't for Liu Yu's forcible control, it would have fallen into pieces.

"It's now!"

Based on the experience of many times of practice, Liu Yu had a premonition that the moment of fusion of the rune array and the magical weapon embryo was coming, and he was already prepared in his heart.

One breath, two breaths

Finally, at the eighth breath, a light flashed in his eyes!

The technique he was holding slowly in his hand also changed in an instant, becoming urgent and fast.

"Buzz buzz"

The spear weapon trembled continuously, and the sharp sound of the gunshot resounded throughout the weapon refining room.

The body of the gun, which is about three feet long and is completely dark red, is engraved with dense runes and exudes a milky white aura.

Without exception, these are offensive runes.

The spear is a weapon of killing. In some places in the secular world, it is called "the king of hundreds of soldiers" and "the thief of hundreds of soldiers".

The spear's reputation as the "King of One Hundred Weapons" comes from its fierce and fierce offensive style, as well as its "one inch longer and one inch stronger" attack range that far exceeds that of other weapons.

The title of "The Thief of Hundred Soldiers" comes from the various ways of using the spear, such as "end, wrap, collapse, pick, stab, and dance".

Although there are many variations of spears, there are even people who have mastered marksmanship and can achieve a combination of strength and softness, and many changes.

But it is undeniable that it is always a killing weapon, and its offensive attributes are always greater than its defensive attributes.

Used for defense, it is not the correct way to open it.

If you want to protect your whole body, it's better to use another defensive weapon.

Therefore, Liu Yu's currently refining spear weapons are all engraved with offensive runes, trying to maximize their offensive strengths.

Once it is successfully refined, its power is generally about 20% greater than that of ordinary magic weapons of the same level.

The gun body emits a dark red spiritual light, and the rune array shines with a milky white halo. Under Liu Yu's precise control, the two brilliance gradually blended together.

Silently, the rune array gradually penetrated into the spear weapon, as if it wanted to be submerged in it.

But this step is extremely slow, as if it has encountered some invisible restriction, and every step of the integration is extremely difficult.

I don't know how many weapon refiners have failed at this last step, and all their previous efforts have been in vain.

Liu Yu's talent in refining weapons was much inferior to that in alchemy, and he also failed countless times.

But this time, his luck seemed to be good, and the fusion of the magic circle went very smoothly.

"buzz"

Amidst the increasingly faint gunshots, the milky white spiritual light gradually weakened, and the rune array gradually submerged into the dark red gun body.

This process lasted for about half a quarter of an hour.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the red aura of the spear weapon suddenly glowed, and the milky white halo completely disappeared.

At the same time, it became completely silent.

"Yes, it's another top-grade magic weapon."

Liu Yu nodded lightly and looked at the dark red spear in his hand, feeling quite satisfied.

His hands had not yet cooled down, and the gun body was still hot at hundreds of degrees. However, it was like stroking an ordinary object, and it did not feel hot at all.

In terms of Liu Yu's "half-step to third level" physical body, which is now half a step into the third level, just one step away from the final step, one or two hundred degrees is just a little "warm breeze".

When refining Qi, condensing golden elixir is condensing golden elixir. There is absolutely no such thing as half-step golden elixir. There is a huge difference between the peak of foundation building and the realm of golden elixir.

There is an essential difference between the existence and non-existence of golden elixir.

If you succeed, you will enter the golden elixir realm. If you fail, you will fall to the peak of foundation building or even lower. There is no such thing as a "half step".

Just because the process of condensing the golden elixir is a one-stop process, it must pass through the "four difficulties" in one go, and it will never stop when it reaches a certain level.

The only outcome of stopping midway is failure.

If the "mana solidification" fails at the first level, there is a high probability that one can save one's life, but it would be good if the state can be maintained at the peak of foundation building. Naturally, there is no such thing as a "half-step golden elixir".

If the last three levels, "golden elixir stability", "inner demon calamity", and "golden elixir thunder calamity" fail, 90% of the monks will perish directly.

There are very few cases of surviving after failure in the last three levels.

So sometimes, being able to fall at the first level is also a kind of luck, at least you can save your life!

Compared with the condensed golden elixir of qi refining, the way of physical cultivation is quite different.

Every breakthrough in physical cultivation is mostly an improvement in all aspects of the body, followed by physical cultivation magic power.

From an objective perspective, compared to the "qi" of qi refining, it is more difficult to improve the "jing" of body refining, and it is almost impossible to achieve it overnight.

Because compared to "qi", the "jing" of the immortal cultivator is actually related to the physical body and exists in the material world, so it is much more stable.

Even if you want to improve, there is always a process.

Even if you break through the realm, it will take a certain amount of time to increase your physical strength.

And this period of physical transformation often takes longer than Dharma cultivation.

In other words, when it comes to physical cultivation, there is indeed a "half step".

One foot has passed, but the other has not. There are still certain conditions that have not been met, or we have to wait for the transformation of the physical body to be completed.

As for "god", compared with essence and energy, it is more illusory.

"Perhaps for those who specialize in cultivating the Way of God, promotion is just a matter of a thought."

"In just one thought, can the promotion be completed?!"

Based on the ethereal characteristics of "god", Liu Yu secretly guessed.

While thinking, he put the dark red spear into his storage bag, and took out a bunch of low-level spiritual materials to start refining the magic weapon.

It has to be said that refining magic weapons after reaching the golden elixir realm does have considerable advantages in all aspects.

It is mainly reflected in many aspects such as spiritual consciousness, mind, mana, and elixir fire.

But the biggest advantage lies in Dan Fire.

Although ordinary monks can achieve the same effect through earth fire refining, there is always a certain "delay" and they cannot directly control the earth fire, but can only control it through tokens and mechanisms.

However, the elixir fire of the Golden elixir cultivator can be freely retracted and moved at will, and its performance in purifying spiritual materials and removing impurities is better than ordinary earth fire.

It is precisely because of his various advantages that now, fifteen years later, Liu Yu's success rate in refining high-grade magical weapons has officially reached 30%.

Refining a high-grade magic weapon is certainly something to be happy about, but there is no surprise. After all, a top-grade magic weapon only costs more than 400 spiritual stones.

And the amount of spiritual stones he consumes to refine a magical weapon is far more than that.

However, the 30% success rate in refining high-grade magic weapons seems to have exhausted the advantages of the Golden elixir monks. Liu Yu has encountered a bottleneck at this step and has not made any progress for a long time.

Whether it is reading other people's weapon refining experiences or directly "inviting" several weapon refining masters to come over and "ask for advice", there is not much progress.

Later, Liu Yu finally understood his ordinary talent in weapon refining and had to face the reality.

So he thought of a way, that is, to only refine the spear weapon, and strive to improve his proficiency in refining the spear weapon to prepare for refining the natal magic weapon.

As for other types of magic weapons, they are rarely refined.

Trying to use this method to reach the standard for refining the "Sunset Golden Rainbow Spear" and pave the way for the near future.

The sun rose and set, and the night passed quickly as Liu Yu concentrated on refining the weapon.

"Buzz buzz"

The milky white rune array merged with the dark yellow gun body, and another spear weapon was refined.

With a thought in Liu Yu's mind, the dark yellow spear floated in front of her, and she took it in her hand to look at it without caring about the high temperature on it.

"good."

"Compared to the last finished product, the quality seems to have improved slightly."

"What's even more gratifying is that this time, from the ten materials, four magical weapons were successfully refined."

"Although it is still too early to say that the success rate has reached 40%, we have indeed made considerable progress in refining the spear by ourselves."

"The method I thought of before is indeed feasible."

Liu Yu murmured to himself.

He then stood up, put away all the weapon refining materials, cleaned the weapon refining room, and then went to the training room to practice.

While completing his training and learning to refine weapons, he was monitoring the situation up and down Chaoyang Mountain.

In this way, time passed slowly, and another two months passed since Liu Yu handed the Foundation Establishment Pill to Leng Yuexin.

One day two months later, in Chaoyang Mountain, which had been peaceful for a long time, the spiritual energy suddenly fluctuated.

Then it divided into two parts and rushed towards the two caves at the same time.

"Huh?!"

Observing this scene, Liu Yu distracted some of his attention, causing the refining of another spear weapon in his hand to fail.

"There were actually two people building the foundation on the same day, and the time of "spiritual energy filling the body" was so close."

"interesting."

"If I remember correctly, the two people who first built the foundation should be Gong Xinyuan and Xu Haoran. They are both one of the best among this group of dead soldiers."

After sighing, Liu Yu smiled slightly.

However, even if two people build a foundation at the same time, there will be no unexpected situations, because Chaoyang Mountain is a second-level mid-level spiritual mountain, and its spiritual energy is completely enough for multiple people to build a foundation at the same time.

Of course, the premise is that Liu Yu and Leng Yuexin do not take action to snatch the spiritual energy.

…

Ten months later, Chaoyang Mountain Beppu.

"To inform Master Qingyang, this time forty dead warriors who have reached the point of perfecting their Qi refining have hit the foundation building bottleneck, and only eighteen of them succeeded in building the foundation."

"As for the remaining twenty-two, their vitality has been greatly damaged or they have fallen into a state of decline. There is basically no hope of building a foundation."

Leng Yuexin reported expressionlessly.

With that said, the woman handed over a thin roster.

Indeed, as she said, if the foundation building fails even with the help of three foundation building pills, based on the qualifications of the pseudo-spiritual root, the possibility of foundation building has been lost.

At least that's the case for ordinary monks.

In Liu Yu's eyes, the value of continued training has also been lost.

Perhaps more foundation-building pills and various foundation-building spiritual objects may be invested, and there is still a little possibility of foundation-building, but that is completely unnecessary.

After all, except for the Foundation Establishment Pill, Liu Yu had to actually spend spiritual stones to purchase other Foundation Establishment spiritual objects.

If this goal fails to be cultivated, just change it to another one. There is no need to pay more costs.

"I have prepared three foundation-building pills, but the success rate of these people in building foundations is still not more than 50%."

"Although there is a reason for the diminishing efficacy of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the difference between the "pseudo spiritual roots" is indeed worthy of its reputation."

After closing the roster, Liu Yu shook his head and casually ordered:

"I already understand this matter."

"Calculate the time. Those who have successfully built the foundation should have stabilized their realm. Go and bring them."

"As for those who fail in foundation building, we must also arrange them properly so that they can be placed in a suitable position and use their remaining energy to contribute to the organization for the rest of their lives."

"Yes, uncle!" Leng Yuexin accepted the order, saluted and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Looking at the empty entrance of the cave, Liu Yu had countless thoughts, wondering if there were any shortcomings in his own training method?

"These dead soldiers have been staying in Chaoyang Mountain. They advance relatively quickly and their foundation is not solid."

"It has the realm of the foundation building stage, but its strength is very problematic."

"Although there are rounds of elimination rounds, there is almost no experience in life and death fighting."

"Can a death warrior who is trained in this way and has no experience in death fighting really defeat a foundation-building monk of the same level?"

Liu Yu suddenly had this idea, and immediately frowned.

If these dead warriors cannot have the upper hand over monks of the same level in a one-on-one situation, then why train them yourself?

"It seems that in the subsequent training, death fighting content will be added."

"Try to ensure that the level of the dead warriors rises and their strength can keep up."

"As for this group of dead soldiers, there will be another round of screening!"

"Eighteen people, only the most elite nine will be left in the end, and the remaining nine weak ones will be eliminated directly!"

It didn't take long for Liu Yu to think of a countermeasure.

This method can make the nine people who finally win a deep understanding of the life-and-death battle between them, and that real fighting is not just "playing house" during training.

Leng Yuexin's movements were very fast, or she was prepared for it. After only a dozen breaths, a dozen figures appeared at the entrance of the cave.

Chen Shan, Gong Xinyuan, Xu Haoran

Compared with more than ten years ago, they have changed a lot in appearance and temperament.

From childishness to maturity, because of practicing the exercises, many people have some parts of their bodies with the characteristics of the exercises.

Because of the effect of the "glazed mind trick", after more than ten years of influence, they have been deeply imprinted on their thoughts.

Chen Shan, Gong Xinyuan, Xu Haoran and more than a dozen people have no thoughts of defecting at all, but have become loyal believers.

At this time, the way he looked at Liu Yu was like a believer looking up to a god!

Even if they were asked to commit suicide immediately, they would not hesitate.

However, Liu Yu is still a little dissatisfied with the current results.

Just because the "maturity" of these foundation-building warriors still lacks a bit of "iron blood", or "evil energy".

It’s not enough to be beaten!

"Greetings to the Lord!"

Entering the hall, the eighteen foundation-building dead men saluted and bowed to the ground with sincerity.

The head made contact with the ground, and there was a banging sound.

"Um."

Liu Yu raised his hand gently, and the foundation-building warriors immediately stood up as if they had received the "imperial edict".

Then, he began to talk about the content of the "last lesson" and the final screening.

The assessment content revolves around the "Dead Man's Jade Tablet".

There are only nine jade medals, but eighteen people have to compete for them. The one who wins the jade medal will be considered a pass, and the one who cannot win the jade medal will be eliminated.

Moreover, this assessment is not limited to means, and it can even be killed and captured.

Finally, Liu Yu announced that they would be given one month to prepare, and the assessment would begin one month later.

"What?"

The expressions of the dozens of foundation-building dead soldiers all changed, and they immediately understood the cruel rules.

"This assessment conducted by the Lord is indeed intended to eliminate half of the same period."

Realizing this problem, some dead soldiers who thought they were in the middle and lower reaches of the army couldn't help but turn pale.

However, even if they face life threats, under the powerful effect of the "glazed glass mind-bewitching technique", they still cannot have any rebellious heart.

I just think about how to form a gang to seize the token, and how to become the winner and survive!

"not good!"

The moment he heard the rules, Xu Haoran's expression changed.

As the first person to successfully build a foundation, he naturally became the most conspicuous target. He was considered the strongest by some of his contemporaries and was regarded as the first obstacle to be cleared.

In just one or two breaths, he felt a few malicious glances from the same period, vaguely sweeping over him.

"You can't fight alone, you must win over allies."

Even though Xu Haoran thinks that his strength is extraordinary, everyone has only been building the foundation for less than a year, so how much difference can there be in strength?

This person didn't think that he could fight one against two, so he immediately thought of recruiting allies.

The first goal is fellow "Chen Shan".

There is a saying that when a fellow villager meets a fellow villager, his eyes well up with tears.

He and Shen Shan belong to the same county. Although one is in the city and the other is in the countryside, they can still be regarded as fellow villagers, right?

What's more, the three of them are all outstanding players who have built their foundation in the first three months. As long as the strong forces join forces, wouldn't the victory be greater? !

If we win over a few more people, this "last lesson" will be a sure thing.

"In order to obey the name of the Lord, I will resign!"

Liu Yu gave an order, and the eighteen foundation-building dead soldiers turned around and left the cave, ostensibly returning to their respective residences.

But everyone knows that tonight is destined to be uneventful!

I don’t know how many sloppy things will be accomplished in secret!

"After screening it like this, it's almost done."

Liu Yu nodded lightly, then took out the eighth level of Qingyang Gong and began to meditate, waiting for the arrival of the one-month period.

In fact, his requirements are not high, that is, in a one-on-one situation, the foundation-building dead warrior equipped with a magical weapon can have the upper hand.

As for everyone being able to kill the same level?

That's basically impossible.

Dead soldiers do not have to act alone when performing tasks. They can completely defeat enemies with more numbers.

When necessary, Liu Yu would be very satisfied if he could die together with the enemy cultivator.

————————————————————————

PS: It is the first time for the protagonist to train a dead soldier. It feels normal to take some detours and consume a lot of money.

It would feel unrealistic to get it exactly right the first time without any detours.
