I am cultivating both immortality and martial arts

Chapter 21 Forging Task

Liyangzong

On this day, Lu Xian first came to the General Affairs Hall and received the salary accumulated over the past few months. In three months, he received a total of nine spirit stones and three bottles of Bigu Pill.

In addition, there is one sect task that needs to be completed. Lu Xian searched for a while on the task tablet, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "This is it..."

He took out his identity token and swept it towards the task tablet, and a golden light shot out from the identity token, and the task on the task tablet was marked as received, and disappeared from the tablet.

After receiving the task, Lu Xian looked around and came to an inner disciple with a hammer logo on his chest.

"This senior brother, Xia Luxian, is the disciple who accepts this forging task."

The senior brother from the Blacksmithing Hall was tall and strong, and his cultivation was around the seventh level of Qi training. He looked Lu Xian up and down, nodded, and said, "My name is Duan Tiefeng, a first-level weapon refiner in the Blacksmithing Hall. This junior, you Follow me and wait for a while, and we will set off when everyone arrives."

Naturally, Lu Xian had everything he needed to do, so he stood beside this senior brother Xiong. Not long after, two more people came, both outer disciples who received this mission.

The senior brother Xiong brought the three of them to the outside of the General Affairs Hall, and with a wave of his right hand, he released a magic weapon flying boat with a flash of spiritual light, signaling all three of them to stand up, and then he urged the magic formula to fly high into the sky.

It was Lu Xianshang's first time to ride a flying magic weapon, so he couldn't help observing it carefully.

I saw a large number of runes engraved inside the magic weapon flying boat to form a complex array, surrounded by inlaid spirit stones to provide energy. When flying, a layer of blue light film appeared on the surface of the flying boat, blocking all the oncoming wind. Outside.

The flying boat flew fast all the way, and soon came to a towering mountain. The whole mountain was covered by a large formation. Duan Tiefeng raised his hand and shot a token, which turned into a white light and shot into the formation.

After a while, a passage of Zhang Xu was separated from the top of the formation. Seeing this, Duan Tiefeng hurriedly drove the flying boat through the passage, and stopped on a platform halfway up the mountain.

The air here is hot and dry, and the spiritual power of the fire element is extremely active. Lu Xian knew that this was because Lihuo Peak was an active volcano, connected to the spiritual vein of earth and fire.

There is a towering hall on the mountainside from Huofeng. The whole hall is made of bluestone, and the surroundings emit red fire light, but there are branches of earth fire running through it, dividing dozens of fire chambers and caves.

Duan Tiefeng brought the three of them to a room with "Twenty Three" written on it. As soon as Pu stepped into the cave, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards his face. He saw a wide platform was dug out of the huge cave, and a red fire The river meanders through the interior to an unknown location.

"This time is a long-term mission. It will last for two months. All you have to do is use your spiritual power to refine the ore with the help of earth fire, and pay enough shares every day."

After Duan Tiefeng finished speaking, he personally practiced it. The operation is not complicated. He only needs to use spiritual power to connect a trace of ground fire, and then use this trace of ground fire to quench the ore and wash away the impurities inside.

This is only the first step of refining. Although the preliminary processing of ore materials is relatively simple, it is a delicate work that must be done. Some refining masters cannot tolerate this repetitive behavior, so they simply issue tasks to hire low-level workers in the door. The monks will do it.

Some monks who aspire to become craftsmen can also take this opportunity to learn some crafts skills, and Duan Tiefeng is not hesitant to teach them. This is one of the potential rewards of this mission.

"The three first-order ores you need to refine are jasperite, black gold steel and black iron. These three kinds of ores have slightly different characteristics. You can study them first."

Duan Tiefeng opened his right hand, and immediately three jade slips floated to the side of the three of them, which recorded the detailed refining methods of the three ores.

Afterwards, this person gave a few more words of advice, then took his leave and left. He still had his own affairs to attend to, so it was impossible to keep staring at this place.

After Duan Tiefeng left, the three of Lu Xian looked at each other, but they didn't intend to talk to each other. They each found an open space in the cave and began to delve into the contents of the jade slips.

This looks like a few days.

When Lu Xian woke up from the sedation state, he saw that the other two had already started refining the ore. Judging from their skilled movements, it might not be the first time they have accepted such a task.

As the only pure newcomer present, Lu Xian also began to carefully refine the first ore. When he actually operated it, he found that this process was far less technical than what he had imagined....

You only need to connect the ground fire with your power, and then use the ground fire to wash the impurities in the ore. As for the amount of effort, it doesn't matter much, and the ore is not easy to damage, and the above process can be repeated.

"It's no wonder that the craftsmen themselves don't want to do it. It's completely time-consuming and repetitive work. Novices can easily get started, as long as they have hands."

Although it's fine if you have hands, but since Lu Xian has accepted this task, he must complete it without compromise.

For the next period of time, there will be handyman disciples coming to the fire room every day to collect the ore that has been refined for a period of time, and distribute the next ore share, and complete the task every day, giving Lu Xian a kind of part-time job in the previous life. Sense of sight.

Fortunately, as the technique became more proficient, the time for Lu Xian to complete the workload became shorter and shorter, leaving more time for cultivation every day.

This place is a branch of the second-order spiritual vein, and the aura is more abundant than Ganquan Mountain where the outer disciples are located, which can be regarded as a small benefit.

During this period of getting along, Lu Xian also had a certain amount of friendship with the other two. These two were outer disciples just like him. One was named Wu Du, who practiced Qi at the third level, and the other was slightly older. Zhang Xiaofeng, the fourth level of Qi training.

On this day, after the three of them finished their daily training tasks, it was rare for them not to practice, so they started drinking tea and chatting.

"The best way to guard this sect is to go to the Danding Pavilion. Although most of us are engaged in such tasks as stoking the furnace and adding fire, we can watch the alchemists make alchemy on the spot, and even have the opportunity when the elixir is released. It is indeed a beautiful thing to be given the pill."

Among the three, Wu Du is obviously the most familiar with the process in the door, and the introduction at this time is also clear and logical.

"Compared to the Danding Pavilion, the Spirit Medicine Garden, the Talisman Workshop and the Artifact Refining Hall are all inferior, but each has its own advantages."

Lu Xian's heart was moved when he heard the words, and he asked: "Please also ask Senior Brother Wu to speak clearly."

Wu Du laughed, but he said without hesitation: "Junior brother should be doing this kind of task for the first time. Take our refining hall as an example. You can't learn anything useful just by refining ore, but if You complete the task on time, and when the task expires, you can bring your own materials and ask the brothers who issued the task to refine it, and they will generally not refuse, and you will get a good magic weapon at that time."

Lu Xian had actually heard such rumors, but he didn't know how to operate it, so he couldn't help asking for details.

Wu Du did not hesitate to share, "Generally speaking, alchemists and tool refiners are said to have proficiency, so they also accept invitations to alchemy and tool refining from others. Usually, the inviter prepares the materials himself. As for the finished product, it all depends on God's will." , Even if the practice is useless, we can’t be held accountable. And we worked hard to refine the ore for two months, not just for a few small skills. The brothers of these refining masters usually reciprocate, and will refine a piece for you for free at the end. magic weapon."

"Generally speaking, it takes at least dozens of spirit stones to ask someone to refine a low-grade artifact. The price of middle-grade and high-grade artifacts is higher. We can save this spirit by taking the way of the internal artifact refining hall. Stone costs, but this kind of free quota is generally limited to the refining of middle-grade magic weapons. The target of our mission, Brother Xiong, is only a first-level craftsman, and his craftsmanship is really top-notch among the younger generation in the sect, so we Not bad luck this time.”

Zhang Xiaofeng, who had the highest cultivation level among the three, also suddenly interrupted at this time, obviously he had already inquired about it.
