From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 13: Five-Zhi Yaocao Sword

The spiritual materials of the Wuzhi Yaocao Sword are naturally Ganoderma lucidum and Yaocao, in addition to lead, mercury, and rosin ink.

Although it is called the Five Ganoderma, there are actually six types, namely Green Ganoderma, Black Ganoderma, Gold Ganoderma, Red Ganoderma, Jade Ganoderma and Purple Ganoderma.

All six have lids and handles, and are in perfect condition. They are all valuable medicinal materials. If converted into money, they would cost at least six or seven hundred coins.

Fortunately, he had slowly collected enough money in the academy over the years. If it was converted into money for talismans, it would be a huge sum. This could be seen from the attitude of Xia Wushou, the chief steward of the academy's treasury, towards him.

Put six Ganoderma lucidum into the stone pot one by one. The open fire will only roast them slowly without burning them.

Just wait until the six Ganoderma lucidum are as dry as rotten wood and can be blown away by a gust of wind, then throw in the nine pieces of Yaocao.

This Yaocao is the best quality spiritual tea and needs to be picked when it is covered with snow. The nine pieces of Yaocao carry a chill of winter ice and snow.

Ganoderma lucidum belongs to the earth element, and Yaocao belongs to the water element. When the two meet, changes occur, and yang water and yin earth become yang earth.

The Yang water spiritual energy evaporated from the Yaocao was absorbed by the three Yin-type Ganoderma lucidum. Just like scattering dandelions, the three Ganoderma lucidum turned into powder.

The Ganoderma lucidum with Yin earth attributes has been refined. The next step is the Ganoderma lucidum with Yang earth attributes. Ling lead stone and Ling mercury water are added in turn.

Yang earth and Yin metal transform into yang metal. Lead and mercury are both yin metals. The two melt in the fire. Once they encounter yang spiritual plants, it is like water dripping into a sponge. The three yang earth spiritual plants are also turned into powder.

After half a minute, all the Ganoderma lucidum was refined, and only half of the Yaocao was still emitting steam. At this time, various things were rotating inside the stone pot.

Yang earth and Yin metal transform into yang metal, metal and water give birth to each other, yang water and Yin earth transform into yang earth, blending with each other like a circle, and the medicinal properties of Wuzhi and Yaocao are also mixed.

This was matched by Yu Shuyang according to the Yin-Yang and Five Elements. Yin-Yang Earth is Wu Ji Earth, and the inspiration comes from the legendary innate Wu Ji Earth magic weapon in the previous life - the Apricot Yellow Flag.

Wu Yang Earth is like a heavy mountain, Ji Yin Earth is like a thick field, they are too heavy to be used to make swords, so in this life, I changed to making a magic sword, which can both protect myself and heal wounds.

All the Yaocao turned into water and mixed with Ganoderma lucidum powder, lead and mercury, forming a mass of gray-white clay, as bright as jade.

"Alright, Uncle Mo, collect the bird scroll Yang Gang Talisman Fire, and I'll fill the stone mold."

Yu Shuyang took out the rosin ink that he had carved in advance. The two ink stones were the size of a palm and four fingers wide, and there was no trace of carving in the middle.

Mo Ji had been watching from the side for half an hour and was stunned. This was not sword-making at all, it was clearly alchemy.

Hearing this, he cast a spell to activate the jade talisman. Strands of bright spring flames, like tired birds returning to their nests, were absorbed into the jade talisman one by one, dyeing the gray-white jade crimson.

Obviously, there was only one magic forbidden bird talisman, which was a little saturated and could not withstand so many fire evils.

Yu Shuyang didn't care about anything else. He took an inkstone spoon and filled the gray-white mud in the pot into the two rosin ink molds one by one.

After the gray-white mud is filled, the two ends of the mold are aligned and placed in a gold box, which fits perfectly with the graphite.

"Uncle Mo, please release the talisman fire again."

Yu Shuyang first placed the golden box in the stone pot, and watched as strands of bright spring flames, like silk threads, flew into the stone pot and began to burn from the fire well.

"Jiuchun, are you refining a sword? It looks like you're refining an elixir to me.

Besides, whose sword is so small, only the size of a palm? Even a dagger is longer than it."

Moji couldn't understand it. He had seen the five weapons forged at the hardware counter. The swords were several feet long. It was said that the spear head was small and the arrowhead was big.

"Uncle Mo, this is sword refining. Magic swords are different from ordinary swords. There are all kinds of them.

Today's is a simple one, using herbal spiritual materials, and only refining the appearance.

Tomorrow's will be much more troublesome, as it requires washing, steaming, pulling and shaping."

Yu Shuyang had already relaxed and was chatting very casually. He only waited for an hour of calcination until all the Yangchun flames were exhausted.

"You can come by yourself tomorrow. I won't come. I have a lot to do in the fields. It's almost May, so I have to loosen the soil, water and fertilize while I have time. There's a lot to do."

Mo Ji shook his head after hearing this. Whether it was sword-making or alchemy, he couldn't understand it. Jiuchun could do it by driving the fire talisman, so he was too lazy to fool around.

Yu Shuyang is the ninth child in the family. Because he was quiet when he was a child, his father gave him the nickname Jiuchun.

The whole family called him that. He resisted at first, but later he had to accept it.

Simmer over low heat for exactly one hour, and all the flames will be exhausted, and the threads will turn into bird shapes again.

He activated the Bird Talisman Yang Gang Talisman and collected the bird talisman spirits back into the jade talisman one by one. Now the jade talisman was not dyed and was still grayish white.

The golden box was taken out of the stone pot. It was not hot to the touch. When the box was opened, the rosin ink inside had turned into water. An apricot-yellow Ruyi was lying in the ink.

The Ruyi is about the length of a palm and two or three fingers wide. It is in the shape of the Three Treasures Ruyi, with grass patterns wrapped around it and a translucent color, like chicken-fat yellow beeswax.

This is Yang Water mixed with Yin Metal, which refines Wu and Ji Earth into one. The Yin Earth and Yang Earth are very peaceful, achieving the state of Hunyuan unity.

According to the rules of the magic sword, refining the form once and refining the quality once is one turn, and refining the form twice and refining the quality twice is a second turn magic weapon.

"Uncle Mo, what do you think? Isn't it great?"

Yu Shuyang was very happy. In his previous life, the Jiayi Wooden Sword took a shortcut and stopped at the third turn, which was also a pain point for him.

"I don't understand this, why don't you take it back and show it to your parents.

Jiuchun has made progress, he has made progress."

"Lao Mo, all you do is praise him. This little bastard is always away from home, and you're fooling around with him."

I don’t know when Yu Jixiang came here. This guy has always been sarcastic and only knows how to say unpleasant things.

"Hello, apart from making sarcastic remarks and throwing cold water on others, I have never seen you praise anyone.

I was too lazy to talk about you, and I forgot about your bald head."

Mo Ji is an old man beside Yu Jixiang. He was assigned here before he transformed and knows a lot of embarrassing things in the past.

"I'm just teaching my child, Lao Mo, you can't do this." Yu Jixiang felt very embarrassed.

Yu Shuyang put the stone pot into the Dharma bag he carried with him, and filled the fire well with soil to keep the unburned wood and charcoal inside.

"Don't rush to refine your sword tomorrow. Come with me to Beifang. Didn't Li Zhen say before that he thought the wood was good?

I estimate that I will have to come and pick it up in ten days or half a month. You can take care of it and I will leave it to you from now on.

The East China Sea trade route is quite troublesome, and we must fully support it." Father Yu said to his son.

Yu Shuyang thought quickly and grasped the key. This would allow him to control the cargo trade between Fudi and Donghai.

"Okay, don't worry. I know my stuff and won't let anyone irrelevant get involved. I guarantee it will go smoothly."

Yu Shuyang patted his chest and assured that he knew they were guarding against the group of playboys in Baiziyuan. He had heard a lot of rumors about them.

I don’t know what’s going on, but most of the direct blood relatives of Xiyu Daxian have the same character flaws. They are either greedy or cunning as ghosts.
