Daqizong

Li Wan sighed with a smile, and said: "Three, you are all on your own anyway, why are you playing this game? Just say what you want, even if something really affects my refining, I won't blame you. "

The three stewards smiled awkwardly, and said: "Then, let's be honest... Li Daoyou, yesterday you told us that you planned to wait here until Tianlu Mountain erupted, and then send people into the mountain to search for the essence of earth fire, and find suitable for refining equipment." The location of the earth's evil spirit veins?"

Li Wandao: "Exactly, so what?"

The steward surnamed Yi glanced at him, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "I'm afraid this matter will be ruined."

Li Wan's heart moved: "Could it be that this is the bad news that the three just said, but because of the gate of the realm?"

The steward surnamed Yi said: "That's true, and we didn't expect that the gate would appear when you came, Li Daoyou. Every time this gate appeared, the nearby monsters and spirits with a radius of thousands of miles would be greatly stimulated and frantically The attack on the place where we and other human races gather, coupled with the volcanic eruption, the scale of this attack may not be small."

The steward surnamed Xiao also showed a dignified expression, and said: "This situation, we call it a demonic disaster!"

Li Wan asked strangely: "What's going on here? These beasts drink blood like hair, they probably don't have the idea of ​​attacking the city?"

The steward surnamed Xiao said: "Of course monsters don't want to attack the city, but this place gathers a large number of experienced monks who come and go here, at least three to five hundred people, and sometimes even thousands of people gather. Treasures of heaven and earth, treasures of spiritual mines, and the aura of flesh and blood are scattered in the world. The demons are infected by the chaos and demonic energy. They have a natural hunger for flesh and blood, especially those refined in the bodies of us human monks. Pure vitality is a treasure that can help it advance and become more powerful, these are like bait, attracting those monsters to come."

Li Wandao: "It turns out that these monsters really care about devouring flesh and blood!"

The steward surnamed Xiao said: "That's right, but the reason for the formation of the evil disaster is not only that."

Li Wan said: "I would like to hear the details."

The steward surnamed Xiao said: "In addition to devouring flesh and blood and coveting evolution, these monsters also seriously damaged the balance of the surrounding area because of the appearance of the gate. There is a victory or defeat, and then the winner devours his flesh and blood, his strength soars, and he continues to compete for the space to survive and reproduce.

These monsters follow the law of the jungle, and at the same time, they also consume each other's numbers, and they can't settle down until the boundary gate disappears and their respective territories are divided.At this moment, protecting the Huoyan Mountain City will become the top priority here. If you want to enter the mountain to find the fire spirit, you will need a lot of manpower, which will lead to insufficient defense of the city. In addition, people who go out may be at any time. Surrounded by monsters in the wild, it is extremely unsafe. Even if you are lucky enough to find the spirit of the earth fire, it is not easy to build a weapon there with peace of mind.

So, please forgive Li Daoyou! "

Li Wan groaned, his complexion changed slightly.

The gate of the realm appears, and the monsters pour out. First, the temperament becomes more manic and fierce, killing each other, which is extremely dangerous; second, the number will become very large, so many that they need to kill each other to maintain the balance and stability of this place!It is conceivable what the consequences will be if one enters the deep mountains rashly.

"I understand. In this situation, it is almost impossible to refine the weapon according to the original plan. So what is the good news?"

Li Wan remembered that these three people had said that there was good news.

The three of them looked at each other and said with a smile: "There are so many monsters here, and after killing them, thousands of monster corpses will be left behind, many of which are rare and rare species. Inner alchemy, bone spurs, minions, fur, scales, muscles, and even flesh and blood can all be used to refine elixirs or magic weapons, if Li Daoyou is interested in these, just use them at that time!"

"Oh?" Li Wan's expression changed slightly, showing interest and said, "This can be regarded as the lost corner and the harvested mulberry. It is indeed good news."

The three stewards discussed with Li Wan, and asked him to write a letter to Yi Ming, declaring the matter here, and Li Wan also wrote a letter to Xiao Qingning and Lin Jingshu who stayed in Tiangong Workshop.

There were sudden changes here, and he didn't know for a while when he would be able to leave.

After one night, the gate of the city had already calmed down, but the monks at the top of the city did not work all night, but waited until dawn before sending out men to carry the wolf corpses and count the results of the battle.

Li Wan went to watch out of curiosity, only to see two hundred wolf corpses, big and small, lying in disorder at the gate of the city, and the land at the gate was also full of potholes, as if they had been bombarded with supernatural powers, and they could still be seen vaguely It was noticed that the bed crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm were inserted obliquely and nailed to the hard ground, and some of them directly nailed several demon wolves together.

Some casual cultivators gathered at the door, pointing and discussing something.

"What are they doing?" Li Wan asked curiously.

Wu Ning said: "They are asking the deacons who guard the city if they need to help peel them." He got up earlier than Li Wan, and he went down to look at it just now, so he knows a little bit.

Li Wan smiled and said: "So that's the case, did you ask just now what they plan to do with these devil wolf skins?"

These devil wolf skins can also be tanned and refined into leather armor, etc. However, generally few people in the Taoist sect are willing to wear the fur of these low-level monsters, and some people transport them to the East China Sea, or sell them to the mortal world. dynasty.

Wu Ning said: "It's all rough, and it will be processed later. If someone wants it, you can sell it on the spot."

Li Wan said with a smile: "You can buy a few and experience the characteristics of these furs, but you don't need to spend too much energy."

Wu Ning nodded yes.

Li Wan also stepped forward in a low-key manner to check the results of the monks last night.

At noon, the number of monks coming and going gradually increased, so Li Wan left the gate of the city and returned to the tower. At this time, he also saw three stewards, Xiao, Zhang, and Yi, coming out to direct the deacons stationed here to do their work. Finished, and then lit a solid blue smoke.

This is a signal to summon nearby traveling soldiers to defend the city, and at the same time warn them to be careful of monsters. With the smoke of wolves, the surrounding area has entered a state of alert.

When the boundary gate opens, the number of monsters in the vicinity will gradually increase, but the boundary gate is an erratic space-time crack, elusive, and we can only wait for it to close naturally. During this period, the danger in the Tianlu Mountain area will increase sharply. It has become unsuitable for traveling.

In the afternoon of the same day, several casual cultivators came back one after another and joined the cultivators guarding here. According to the original habit, most of these people would leave after simple supplies, but this time, they stayed.

"The surrounding area is full of monsters. It's too dangerous to leave rashly." Li Wan also told Mi Yan and Mi Luo when she heard about the situation, "It seems that we have to make preparations to stay here."

If you want to leave, Li Wan can leave now. However, Wu Ning and others will definitely leave with them. The Qingyao Palace lady sent here by Yi Ming, the deacon of Lingfeng and others will also leave with them. Huoyan Mountain City will inevitably be popular Floating, thinking and escaping, he is unwilling to see such consequences, and Qingyao Palace will also be dissatisfied.

Moreover, he also wants to stay here and wait for a turnaround. If there is a chance, he should try his best to refine the Yanlong Sword, and it is impossible to give up easily when encountering changes.

For the next few days, Li Wan began to prepare consciously. On the one hand, he continued to prepare the Haochen Iron and other materials for refining the Yanlong Sword, and on the other hand, he was interested in the black matte gold.

Referring to the records of senior masters in "Qi Zong Da Dian", Li Wan prepared the formula of this kind of magic fire and secret medicine, and then began to refine it.This process is unexpectedly easy, because black matte gold, fire sulfur Ying, Ming Ying and other materials are all very common and simple precious materials. If the post-processing involves the method of changing the material name, even ordinary apprentices can refine it. system.

Li Wan also learned from this that the preliminary process of making this kind of magic fire and secret medicine can be handed over to ordinary apprentices. It only needs simple training, and any apprentice can easily complete it.

Even the original ordinary gunpowder can be prepared by mortal craftsmen, without the need for a refiner at all.

Li Wan took this opportunity to sort out the notes of his seniors, and then compiled the formula himself.

There are three such recipes.

The first part is ordinary magic fire and secret medicine, which only needs charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur, and it is finely ground; the second part is a formula improved by adding pyrosulfide and Mingying, and the effect is greatly enhanced; the third part is the basic formula of black gold gunpowder.

Li Wan eliminated the last step involving the change of the property name, which is also the most critical step. After checking it, he found Wu Ning, Xiao Tie, Mo Yanxi, Huang Zhen, and Li Yong, and handed over the three recipes to him. I gave it to them, and said: "Look at these formulas, and if you master them, try to refine some each, and then hand them over to me. You should have received the raw materials for refining them these days."

"Sacred fire and secret medicine? Isn't this the fuel for refining firearm magic weapons?"

The faces of the five people were all different, but as the refiners of the Tongshan workshop, they were deeply favored by Li Wan, so they had nothing to say.

Li Wan asked them to refine it, and they did it. This is called keeping their duty, so they all agreed.

Li Wan said again: "You can teach these recipes to anyone who thinks they can help refine them, but be careful not to spread them too widely. According to the general practice, only let your apprentices and handymen know."

"We understand." The five people were also very familiar with these rules, and they all agreed.

"Go."

Li Wan waved them away.

Another day passed, and in the morning, the sky had just dawned.

On the south side of the city gate, there was a sudden loud noise.

These days, the roar of artillery fire can be heard almost every day. It is the deacons guarding here attacking the approaching monsters. But this time, Li Wan felt that the artillery fire was much denser. It should be that more monsters came to attack the city. .

Just as Li Wan was thinking about it, suddenly, the whole building felt like it was shaking, and the artillery fire on the tall rock wall at the back also roared.

"Even the artillery behind it started?"

Li Wan suddenly felt something was wrong, so he hurried to the door and looked outside.

Seeing this, he was surprised.

In the wilderness to the south, densely packed figures of monsters are rushing towards the volcanic mountain city like a wave, and smoke and dust can be seen everywhere.

After a while, the thunder-like roar filled the ears, and the overwhelming tyrannical air engulfed the entire city! (To be continued.)
