Chapter 155 Tianyan refines ore, Jinglu is cheated!

Black gold stone can be used to refine magic tools, as well as spirit ships and boats. It is a rare hard ore.

The spirit puppet mixed in the rock and went deep into the earth.

The spiritual power of the mineral vein is complicated. Perhaps it is the manifestation of the rules of heaven and earth. In these places, the spiritual thoughts of the cultivators will be strongly suppressed and disturbed.

Shen Lian quietly controlled the spirit puppet to go down to the depths of the soil, bypassing the miners who were digging secretly, and carefully exploring the ore buried in the soil.

Although he had not been in the mining area for a long time, he had gained a lot. He collected no less than a hundred kilograms of low-level ores.

This also gave Shen Lian another idea. In the puppet refining technique of the immortal world, there is a combined refining method.

Use different ores to refine different parts, and use higher ores or demon bones as the frame core, so that higher-grade puppets can be created.

This method can also be used when he refines magic weapons.

The Five Elements Alchemy Cauldron that he had planned before was still a little incomplete. He thought about it and thought that he could add another layer outside the cauldron to refine a small spiritual ship, and let the Five Elements Alchemy Cauldron be the core of energy supply.

As for the Five Elements Alchemy Cauldron, it is also somewhat different from those alchemy furnaces outside. Five magic mirrors, compasses and other spiritual treasures will be inlaid on the outside of the cauldron.

After the entire magic weapon is refined, it will be able to be assembled and disassembled by itself.

After the overall completion, it will develop in the direction of the Sky Tour City.

In the future, it will be one person and one ship, one ship and one city, and it can also be installed as a large-scale immortal cultivation sect.

To achieve this goal, a large amount of various ores is needed.

Half a day later, the spirit puppet found a piece of black gold stone that looked like a dead tree at a location of 500 feet deep in the earth.

This black gold stone is as black as ink, and the whole body is covered with golden spots inside and outside. Even in the dim light, it can't cover up the star-like golden spots.

...

Two days later.

The spirit puppet returned to Shen Lian and dug out more than 30 pieces of black gold stone ore of different sizes, and one quasi-third-level ore.

There were still some small pieces left, and he didn't collect them all.

There is a code of conduct for thieves. They are all stealing, and they should leave some soup for other thieves to avoid being exposed...

The black-horned ant colony is really useful. Of course, the main reason is that the minerals in the Tianzhu Mountain mining area are too rich.

In any place, there are fine slag like particles in the soil, some of which are caused by the movement of the earth, and some are dropped after mining.

In short, the mining area is worthy of being a mining area.

Even if Shen Lian just wandered around the periphery, he also harvested dozens of second-level ores in more than a month. Although they are small in size, they are worth a lot when added together.

In addition to the black-horned ants, the spirit puppets also contributed.

One preliminary positioning, one detailed search, looking at the entire Tianzhu Mountain mining area, it is estimated that there is no one as capable as him.

…

Under an unknown hill.

The formation was slowly operating, covering the figures who were practicing inside.

Further down the cave, Shen Lian sat cross-legged on a cushion, looking at the ore in his hand.

This was a second-grade inferior red crystal ore, as big as his head.

At this moment, Shen Lian held the red crystal ore in his arms with both hands, as affectionately as if he was holding a fairy sister.

The five elements of spiritual power surged out of his hands, and soon the other spiritual powers of the five elements were absorbed into the body, leaving only the red fire spiritual power.

After several cycles of operation, gold began to appear on the red fire spiritual power, and after a while, white appeared in the gold.

After another breath adjustment, 70% of the stable fire spiritual power was red, 20% was gold, and 10% was white.

But the aura of this 10% white fire spiritual power was more intense than the 20% gold, and the 30% gold-white fire spiritual power was more intense than the remaining 70% red fire spiritual power.

Shen Lian mobilized the golden-white fire spirit power and rushed towards the red crystal ore.

When a weapon refiner refines a magic weapon, the first step is to refine the ore and extract the impurities in the ore as much as possible.

In this refining process, just removing impurities cannot improve the grade of the ore.

This is common sense in the world of immortal cultivation. Even the young cultivators in the Qi training period know that ore is the essence of heaven and earth. It needs the nourishment of heaven and earth spirits to gradually improve its quality.

And Shen Lian is breaking this common sense.

The power of heaven can purify even the blood of spirit beasts. There is no reason why it cannot purify ore. This purification is not to remove impurities, but to improve quality.

"Buzz!"

When the golden-white fire spirit power fell on the red crystal ore, after more than a dozen breaths, a dazzling golden light burst out, and there was a sizzling sound.

At this moment, Shen Lian suddenly retracted the fire spirit power. He quickly collected the red crystal ore and then dismantled the cave house neatly.

After a dozen breaths, the two caves, including the upper and lower caves, were all stored in the storage magic weapon, and then fled towards the outer periphery of the Tianzhu Mountain mine.

...

Half a month later.

On the outskirts of Tianzhu Mountain, in a barren mountain that seemed to have poor spiritual energy and few birds and beasts, Shen Lian set up camp again.

This time he released the puppet talisman man to patrol the area of ​​20 miles, and even sent out the five elements spirit puppets.

"Zizi..."

In the cave, Shen Lian, who was holding the red crystal ore affectionately again, covered the ore with golden and white flames in his hands.

The sound of quenching came from the golden and white flames and the ore, and black smoke rose up. The ore covered by the golden light was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

During this process, Shen Lian's mind was sensing the ore that was changing.

Just as he thought, the structure inside the ore had changed, which was a metamorphosis like an advanced one, not the tempering of an ordinary refiner.

But when the ore became smaller, the speed of the red crystal ore metamorphosis began to slow down, and the thin spiritual energy around it was attracted and absorbed by the ore.

"Spiritual energy?"

Seeing this scene, Shen Lian quickly understood.

The metamorphosis of the ore grade requires the absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. His Tianyan Fire Domain accelerated the metamorphosis process, but the ore also needs external energy to support the metamorphosis process.

This is the same as the cultivation of the human race.

After temporarily stopping the action, Shen Lian arranged a spirit gathering array in the cave, and crushed a handful of spiritual stones to form a small cave blessed land.

"Buzz!"

Holding the ore in his arms again, it continued to shrink under the sacrifice of the golden and white flames, and formed a vortex that absorbed spiritual energy.

The originally red ore became more compact as it shrank, and the surface began to emit a cold golden luster.

"Second-grade middle-grade."

When the ore shrank by half, Shen Lian realized that the ore grade had been upgraded by a small grade.

"Second-grade upper-grade."

...

"Third-grade lower-grade."

In the cave, Shen Lian held a piece of gold and red interwoven ore, which was only the size of a baby's fist, and weighed it up and down.

An inch thick light of light gold overflowed from the ore, the luster was sharp, and there was a layer of crystal clear feeling on the surface.

"So big... so big..."

Dahei, who was lying on the side, used his pliers to gesture the changes of the ore before and after the name, and a magical look appeared in his black eyes.

This ore can no longer be called red crystal ore, it should be called third-grade lower-grade red gold ore, which can be regarded as the category of gold spiritual objects.

Shen Lian was not surprised by the magic of Tianyan Fire Domain. He frowned because of this ore, which absorbed five thousand lower-grade spiritual stones from him.

But apart from the high consumption, there are really no other problems.

With his current strength, he can only purify to the third-grade lower level, and the higher the grade of the ore is, the better it is for refining the prototype of the magic weapon.

"Huh..."

Shen Lian breathed a sigh of relief. With this refining method, he didn't have to force high-grade ore.

It's just that you need to find a place with sufficient spiritual energy, preferably with spiritual veins, so that spiritual energy can be continuously provided, otherwise the spiritual stones he has at the bottom of the box are not enough to use.

The way to collect ore needs to be changed. You can't just steal it. This is not good. Immortal cultivation requires immortal virtue.

You have to steal and search at the same time.

Soon, Shen Lian had a plan in mind. Next, he had to find a place with abundant spiritual energy for him to refine the ore. This place must be hidden and no Jindan cultivators can pass by.

He has too many secrets. Once he is discovered by a Jindan cultivator, searching his soul and taking his soul is just an appetizer. Shen Lian is not exaggerating. His secrets are enough to torture him every day with a soul lamp.

"Speak or not...speak or not..."

The Tianzhu Mountain Mining Area has been a famous fifth-level spiritual vein since the Middle Ages. With the passage of time, it has become the largest mining area in the southern continent.

The history of mining here is even longer. Over the years, there are countless fine ore residues left in the mountains and in the soil.

The ore residues are as small as particles, and there are first, second, third, and even fourth-level ones.

After Shen Lian had a new idea, collecting the broken ore residues in the mountains was his second way.

Of course, he would not go to find them himself, because so many black-horned ants under his command were not released in vain.

In addition to reconnaissance, the black-horned ants have another task, which is to collect all the ore particles in the soil.

There are black-horned ant nests all over the mountains. Even if a nest collects a handful of ore particles a month, the total is tens or hundreds of jin.

Besides, black-horned ants are very capable. It is not a problem for a nest to collect one or two jin of ore particles a month.

After assigning the task to the Black Horned Ant Queen, Shen Lian returned to the Red Crystal Mine City. These days, the number of monsters in the mountains outside the mine city has decreased a lot, and it is obvious that they have been almost wiped out by the cultivators.

Huohe Mountain, cave.

This is Shen Lian's cave in the city.

He is the only one living on the entire mountain.

The ores produced in this area of ​​the Red Crystal Mine City are all fire-attributed. When he collects enough ore fragments, he needs to change to a mine city with ores of other attributes.

In the cave.

The Moon Spirit Essence Dew that was auctioned before was taken out.

The crystal clear Moon Spirit Essence Dew was placed in a jade box, like a transparent pearl, exuding a faint fragrance.

This spiritual object requires the golden elixir to be nurtured in the dantian for thirty to fifty years before the cultivator can use it to refine pills.

The essence exudes a faint fragrance, indicating that the cultivator who nurtured this essence is a female golden elixir.

This thing came from the Holy Spirit Palace, and it was most likely an elder of this force.

Shen Lian obtained this thing to temper his body, but he was not in a hurry to refine it in his body, because the fragrance of this thing was too strong.

His mind sank into the essence, carefully sensing the spiritual power coming from it.

There were extremely fine particles inside the transparent essence, and Shen Lian gently picked one out and found that it was similar to pollen.

This made his face look a little ugly.

When he took the photo before, he checked it and didn't notice any pollen.

He had seen the scene of the Holy Spirit Palace monks catching male favorites with his own eyes.

Normally, monks purchase Moon Spirit Essence in order to refine the second-grade high-quality Moon Spirit Containing Circle Pill.

The only function of this elixir is to replenish the energy and spirit of the monks at the ninth level of foundation building and speed up their own perfection, so as to add a little boost when forming the elixir.

For a moment, Shen Lian's face looked gloomy.

Naturally, he wouldn't dare to use something he couldn't grasp.

If I use it, I will have to add toes. Just thinking about it is perverted... so white...

It can be said that any monk who uses moonlight to contain the round elixir, regardless of whether he has the opportunity to be promoted to the golden elixir, at least has the ambition to pursue the promotion of the golden elixir.

Such monks often have a greater chance of promotion.

It's not that Shen Lian is overthinking it, but that the Holy Spirit Palace is between different realms. To put it nicely, the relationship is intricate, and to put it badly, it's just a pimp.

Damn it, the world of cultivating immortals is full of pitfalls.

Shen Lian would not dare to use the Moon Spirit Essence in front of him.

But these 170,000 spirit stones are too much of a waste.

"No, I thought wrongly. I purchased the Moon Spirit Essence to refine the elixir. In the end, the elixir will be taken by other ninth-level foundation-building monks. In other words, I am just a medium, or I am just one of the targets."

After thinking about this clearly, Shen Lian's face became even darker.

After working on it for a long time, it turned out that it was just a process.

Spend your own spiritual stones on other people's affairs.

After he was no longer in the mood to practice, he headed outside the city and began to collect the ore particles found by the black horned ants.

"Master, here."

Under Dahei's guidance, he collected several tons of ore particles of various colors in many lairs, which made Shen Lian feel much better.

Bone Burial Mountain.

This is a hill in the north of the mining city, where several melees between monsters and humans have broken out.

Somewhere under the hill, Shen Lian looked at the broken ant nest and a red pincer, and his expression turned bad again.

"Master, this is a fire crystal fire ant."

After Dahei sniffed the red pliers, he quickly recognized the blood aura of the same race.

"I'm going to see the remaining clan members."

Not long after, Dahei came from the sky.

"Master, a group of red crystal fire ants attacked here and moved away the collected ore."

At the same time, Shen Lian also used his spiritual power to investigate the destroyed nest. Most of the black-horned ants were bitten to death, and the collected ore particles were scraped cleanly.

This shows that this group of red crystal fire ants was artificially cultivated. Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill the black horned ants, destroy the nest, and remove the ore fragments.

This was the first time he met the monks who cultivated the ant tribe, and he was not the only smart person in the world of cultivating immortals.

"Master, these red crystal fire ants have become demons. My people are no match for me. I'm going to kill them!"
