Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 157 Double Happiness
In the next ten days or so, Li Qing devoted all his energy to refining weapons and training.

In addition, every now and then, the old miner named Zhou would be given a jar of aged winter plums.

In this way, time passed quickly, and before we knew it, twelve days had passed.

At this time, in Li Qing's yard, he was carving spiritual patterns on a palm-sized heart plate with an unprecedented concentration.

As his fingertips traced across the heart guard, wisps of khaki-colored lines were looming.

The spiritual patterns on it seem to form a whole. Although they are not connected to each other, they have a mysterious connection.

It can be seen that this time the inscription is very successful and it is nearing the end.

Finally, Li Qing's fingertips crossed the iron plate with force and precision, and the last earth attribute spiritual pattern was engraved by him.

hum!
In just a moment, the spiritual energy in the surrounding heaven and earth began to stir, converging towards the heart-protecting board covered with earth-yellow spiritual patterns.

After all, it was just a inferior magic weapon. The process of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth only lasted for a short time and then stopped, without attracting anyone's attention at all.

But then, a line of text message suddenly appeared in front of Li Qing's eyes, which cheered him up!
[Successfully refining an inferior magic weapon: Earth Elemental Heart Protection Board, rewarding six years of longevity! 】

six years!

Seeing this number, Li Qing let out a sharp breath and felt that the busy work during this period was worth it!
This is the first time in history that his life span has been increased by six years in one breath. Even the Qinghong Sword made from pure black gold has not increased by so much.

Li Qing looked up and saw that his remaining life span had reached the year 180!
What an astonishing number. You must know that even if you reach the foundation building stage, your lifespan will only be two or three hundred years.

But now he is only at the second level of Qi refining stage, and he can already live to be more than 200 years old.

Li Qing's actual age is now close to 28 years old.

However, it is worth mentioning that his bone age and physical condition are still only 25 years old.

It's not that his growth has stopped, it's just that he is aging at an unusually slow rate. It seems that what he is consuming now should be the lifespan he gained from refining the weapon.

Or to put it another way, because of his abundant longevity, Li Qing’s adolescence, the most golden period in his life, was also lengthened a lot!
"It took twelve days, but it was finally done!"

Li Qing smiled with great satisfaction, and poured a bit of spiritual power into the iron plate covered with spiritual patterns.

hum!
Soon, a thin layer of earthy yellow light emerged and enveloped part of Li Qing's body.

This is a very simple ability brought about by the inscription of the earth attribute spirit pattern. Li Qing named it the earth element shield.

As the name suggests, it can resist some spell attacks, especially water-attribute spells, and has a pretty good defensive effect.

"Yes, it only takes a small amount of spiritual power to obtain a protective shield. Although it is not big, if you place it on your heart, it can at least cover your torso."

"But after all, it is just a low-quality magic weapon. It is used to resist some small spell attacks in the early stage of Qi refining. It is already at its limit. In the middle stage of Qi refining, even some spell attacks that are good at using the attributes of one's own skills may suffer."

Li Qing said with a chuckle, he was very self-aware of the heart shield he had just successfully refined.

After saying that, he happily stuffed the heart protector into his arms.

Next, Li Qing recovered a little bit of the consumed spiritual power, and then he once again carried a jar of winter plum wine to visit the old miner named Zhou.

He has already decided that if the other party is still unwilling to tell him some matters about the mine this time, he will never give it to him again in the future.

Although he has stored a lot of fine wine, he did not fail like this!
Now he can be regarded as a weapon refining apprentice. He can simply refine some inferior magic weapons and earn some spiritual stones. It is not that difficult for him.

And with Li Qing's abundant longevity, he can be more cautious and slowly accumulate experience.

He has no other merits except that he lives longer and is more patient than anyone else.

Boom boom boom!
Li Qing knocked on the door of No. 16 courtyard as usual. Senior Zhou was obviously used to Li Qing's knocking these days, and he quickly answered:
"come in."

Li Qing came in after hearing the sound, placed a jar of aged winter plums in the courtyard, and was about to leave.

However, what made him overjoyed was that this time, Old Man Zhou asked him to stay:

"Well, let's stay and have a drink together. It's too boring to drink alone these days."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Li Qing's face became even brighter.It was truly a double happiness today. Not only did I successfully refine the first magic weapon in my life, but I also finally made this eccentric old miner relent.

"Hey, Senior Zhou, you don't know something. When you drink this winter plum wine, you need to drink it with some braised food."

Li Qing gave instructions with an expert attitude, and then took out plates of stewed vegetables from the storage bag with a smile.

Braised pig head meat, sauce-braised beef, spicy braised beef heart, and red braised donkey meat were all brought out one after another, and the aroma was overflowing.

The secret recipe for these stewed vegetables was naturally stolen by a thief in the Shengtian Taoyuan Restaurant before. It happened to be in the area where the mortals of the Liu family lived. These things were also readily available, and the raw materials were easy to find.

When Li Qing replenished his daily necessities, he also prepared some meat for today.

Obviously, this old miner who is addicted to cultivation has not tasted such dishes for a long time.

He directly grabbed a braised pig's trotter and ate it with a big mouthful: "I didn't expect that your kid can actually cook."

Li Qing took the initiative to pour the wine and said modestly: "I am used to crawling around in the world, so I naturally learned a skill. How about Senior Zhou, how do these dishes made by me when I was young taste?"

Senior Zhou drank the wine in the cup without saying a word, and then happily continued to nibble on the pig's trotters full of collagen, not to mention how fragrant it was.

"Well, not bad, have you considered becoming a chef or something?"

"On the way to cultivation, you will never be able to go far just by working in mining. You also need to master a skill that can travel around the world."

The old miner was obviously in a good mood today and was willing to chat with Li Qing.

"I have had this idea, but not long after I first entered the world of immortality, I still want to accumulate some spiritual stones. Then I will decide which craft I want to learn." Li Qing said truthfully.

Senior Zhou nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, you are pretty good, I like you very much."

"I always come here to deliver drinks these days. You must be doing something about the mine, right?"

Li Qing did not hide anything, and admitted straightforwardly: "Please give me some advice, senior!"

Seeing that Li Qing was so cheerful, without any hesitation, and as generous as if he was not asking for help, the old miner laughed and said:

"Hahahaha, you have a good temper and a thick skin. You look like the kind of person who can live a long life."

"Well, I don't have anything else in my life that others can take note of. It's just that my experience in the mines is worthy of praise. It doesn't hurt to tell you everything."

Li Qing immediately pricked up his ears, not wanting to miss a word, and waited quietly.

"The mine is in the far west of Cuiling. The Liu family has a secret road. Before departure, the Liu family will provide everyone with a spiritual horse. It will take about a day and a half to reach the destination."

"The spirit stone veins belong to the Shang Sect. We are only helping to mine them, but we must not be greedy for ink or use the mined spirit stones to practice!"

"There used to be some monsters in that area. After so many years, the mine has become a lot calmer. At most, there are some soul-eating lizards living in it that are not monsters."

"If you catch one, it can be used as a snack to satisfy your boring mining days."

"In the spirit stone mine, some associated spiritual materials are occasionally mined."

"I think it was three or four years ago, right? I remember someone excavated a piece of black mica iron, and there was a lot of commotion at that time."

"I heard that that thing is the main material for refining the best magic weapons, and even some magic weapons use it as an auxiliary material!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! But in the end, that person was handed over to the monks of the Shangzong and received a lot of rewards."

Li Qing's eyes flickered while listening.

As a weapon-refining apprentice, he naturally knows how precious the spiritual materials in the world of immortality are, and they are all indispensable for weapon-refining.

"Well, after talking about this, let me briefly tell you how to search for minerals."
