Chapter 18 Human-Dragon Cooperation

 Nie Xuan naturally knew that the black flame was the unique flame of the demon clan - Black Flame!

 When he was practicing "Tianji Gang", in order to help him, Hongfeng injected a little bit of black flame into his body. It must have been invisibly fused with his spiritual power, which is why there was such a hint of black in the flames.

 Nie Xuan nodded, thinking that his explanation was reasonable, so he ignored the color of the flame and continued to take the next step.

 There are three major elements in refining a weapon: flame, material, and cauldron.

 The cauldron is also a kind of magic weapon, but it is not like the Qianjun cauldron that Nie Xuan gave to Hu Meng. It is just a cauldron, and the cauldron has a lid. Placing materials in the cauldron can control the refining more effectively. The temperature of the preparation.

 Although Nie Xuan has many magic weapons, he does not have a cauldron for refining weapons. However, Bai Liansheng said in his weapon refining technique that if there is no cauldron furnace, you can find a closed space. But in this case , which has higher requirements for the ability to control the fire, and will also affect the effect of the refining.

 Nie Xuan just wanted to try the feeling of refining the weapon himself, so it didn't matter whether he had a cauldron or not.

 Materials are divided into main materials and auxiliary materials. The main materials are indispensable, and there are good and bad materials. If you want to refine a good magic weapon, you naturally need good materials, and there are many types of auxiliary materials, such as spiritual weapons. Stone also belongs to them. It would be better if there are auxiliary materials, which can make the refined magic weapon high-grade. If there is no auxiliary material, it will be fine and it will not affect the refining of the magic weapon.

 The materials Nie Xuan asked Hu Meng to collect were only the most basic and inferior, and just like that, according to Hu Meng, they were obtained from several people, not to mention the auxiliary materials.

 In fact, there is only one kind of material, star iron stone. If a master of weapon refining, such as Bailiansheng, comes to refine it in person, even a small amount of star iron stone can be used to refine a decent magic weapon. However, If Nie Xuan is allowed to refine it, not only will the number of star iron stones required far exceed that of Bailiansheng, but the magic weapon he will refine cannot be as good as his. From this, we can see the level of a weapon refiner. Yes, the more powerful the weapon refiner is, the more he has the ability to turn decay into magic.

 In addition to the above three basic elements, there are also some auxiliary things, such as placing corresponding formations in the magic weapon to enhance the power of the magic weapon. Nie Xuan knew nothing about formations, so he did not consider these issues for the time being.

 Nie Xuan thought about it carefully and felt that he had not missed anything, so he officially started refining the weapon. In order to prevent the first refining failure, he divided all the star iron stones into two parts, took one part and put it in In the flames in the palm of his hand, he used his own flames to melt the star iron stone.

 Depending on the power of the flames that the refiner can emit, the time required to melt the material also varies. Naturally, the faster the melting time, the better.

 What Nie Xuan didn't expect was that as soon as the star iron stone was put into the flames he emitted, he heard a "chi" sound, and the star iron stone turned into a stream of green air almost instantly and spread out in all directions. Come.

 The reason for this situation is very simple, that is, the temperature of the flame is too high!

 Nie Xuan was stunned. In his opinion, the flame he could emit now was definitely the lowest level. The temperature should be very low. How could he melt the star iron stone in an instant? Aren't the flames you emit the lowest level?

 In order to verify the level of his flame, Nie Xuan hurriedly took out a small piece of another star iron stone, then tried to lower the temperature of the flame he emitted, and threw the star iron stone into the flame again.

 Sure enough, although the star iron stone quickly turned into smoke this time, it obviously persisted for a while longer than before.

 "It seems that the temperature of the flame I emitted is indeed too high, but isn't it a real fire?" Nie Xuan murmured to himself.

 Zilong watched with interest. Hearing Nie Xuan's words, he couldn't help but said eagerly, "Why don't you try my flames!"

 "You can also emit flames?"

 Zilong glared at Nie Xuan with dissatisfaction and said: "Of course I can emit flames. If you don't believe me, just watch."

 As he spoke, Zilong opened his mouth and "poof" spit out a stream of flames, a stream of purple flames.

 Nie Xuan was stunned when he saw the color of the flames spouted by the purple dragon. Not only had he never seen it before, there was no such pure purple flame recorded in Bai Liansheng's weapon refining skills.

 "Did you see it? Come on, let me try it too. You put that stone on the ground." It was obvious that Zilong was extremely interested in this activity of breathing fire and burning things.

 Nie Xuan was really curious about how hot the pure purple flames like Zilong were, so he threw a star iron stone on the ground.

 Zilong hurriedly sprayed a mouthful of purple fire at the iron stone!

 It was just a puff of fire, but the Star Iron Stone completely turned into nothingness without even emitting smoke, and there was nothing left!

 Nie Xuan and Zi Long couldn't help but look at each other. Zi Long suddenly laughed twice and said: "It seems that the temperature of my flame is higher than yours, but it doesn't matter. I can lower the temperature. Come on, come on, try another piece." ."

 Nie Xuan looked at the few star iron stones left, and simply took out two more pieces and threw them on the ground: "You can play with it yourself slowly, I will keep these for refining."

 After finishing speaking, He ignored Zilong and took out another piece and put it into the flame. With the lessons learned from the previous two times, Nie Xuan controlled the temperature of the flame to the lowest level this time.

 Sure enough, the situation was obviously better this time. The star iron stone lay quietly in the flames. It was not instantly burned into blue smoke, but slowly melted into liquid with a "sizzling" sound.

 This immediately made Nie Xuan perk up and stare at the star iron stone with all his concentration, because after all the materials have melted into liquid, the molding process will begin, that is, shaping the shape of the magical weapon to be refined.

 Although the star iron stone was not melted very quickly this time, it only took half an incense to melt it all.

 Looking at the pool of liquid in the palm of his hand, Nie Xuan was stunned, because casting must use both hands, and the liquid cannot be touched. He has to use his own spiritual energy to change the shape of the liquid through the air, and now Nie Xuan has only one hand. Holding the liquid of star iron stone, it is impossible to mold it with only your left hand. This is the disadvantage of not having a cauldron.

 At this moment, Nie Xuan caught a glimpse of the purple dragon beside him that was concentrating on spitting out purple fire, and the star iron stone surrounded by its purple fire still remained solid. This shows that the temperature of the purple fire is now extremely low, and the purple fire is still in a solid state. The dragon has successfully controlled the temperature of the purple fire.

 "Zilong, I'll let this ball of liquid hang in the air, and you can use your flame to help me continue to burn it. Don't let it solidify or burn it out, okay?" "Okay!"

 Zilong

 said with a "sniff". He turned his head in a different direction, and aimed the purple fire at Nie Xuan's palm and burned it.

 At the same time, Nie Xuan suddenly retracted his palm, and saw that the purple fire successfully wrapped the liquid, hanging in the air and continuing to burn. And according to Nie Xuan's request, the liquid remained liquid without any change.

 Nie Xuan did not dare to neglect, and shot out ten red spiritual powers from his hands, which quickly merged into the purple fire, and began to mold the liquid.

 For the first magical weapon he had refined in his life, Nie Xuan planned to refine it into a sword. After all, the sword style was relatively simple and the most commonly used. Besides, he also had a soul sword that could be used as a reference.

 So under the transformation of the ten spiritual powers emitted by Nie Xuan's hands, the liquid of the star iron stone soon gradually formed the shape of a sword.

 Now that the shape of the magic weapon is in place, the next step is the most critical. This requires extremely high temperature control of the flame. It is necessary to gradually let the sword condense while ensuring that the flame does not go out. into solid.

 Although Zilong seemed to have a lot of experience in controlling the temperature of the flame, Nie Xuan was still a little worried. Moreover, after all, refining weapons in the future was his own task, and he couldn't bother Zilong every time, so he asked Zilong to The dragon slowly withdrew the flames and took over himself.

 At this last stage, Nie Xuan finally realized why weapon refining is also a kind of practice, because the precise control of the flame temperature during the weapon refining process allows the weapon refiner to better control the spiritual power in his body, and what he can do How much spiritual power should be used at all times, when not to use spiritual power, and when to use more spiritual power.

 In short, after refining the weapon for a long time, the cultivator can control the spiritual power to the point of perfection.

 Nie Xuan carefully controlled the temperature of his flame, and it took almost three hours for the sword to finally condense into shape.

 Looking at the first magical weapon he refined with his own hands, Nie Xuan was still very pleased, although the style was a bit rough and simple and the quality was a bit low.

 After looking carefully and over and over for a long time, Nie Xuan suddenly raised his hand, and a ball of flame enveloped the sword that had not yet been sharpened.

 Zilong on the side shouted anxiously: "What are you doing? It was finally refined, why do you have to burn it again!"

 Nie Xuan smiled slightly and said: "I don't have any materials, so I can only melt the sword into water again." , and then refine it into a sword again, so that I can become more familiar with all aspects of weapon refining, so that I can improve my weapon refining skills and refine better magic weapons!"

 Regarding Nie Xuan's thoughts, Zi The dragon obviously couldn't understand it, but it didn't bother to understand it. As long as it could participate in it, it was satisfied.

 In the current situation where there is no cauldron, Nie Xuan has to ask Zilong for help so that he can free up his hands to cast the magic weapon.

 In this way, one person and one dragon were in the Purple Spirit Cave, using such a small piece of star iron stone to carry out the repeated refining process. In this process, not only did Nie Xuan's control of the flames become more and more detailed, but also Even Zilong has benefited a lot.

 After all the star iron stones were finally refined into nothingness (repeated refining will cause wear and tear, so there will be less and less, and in the end there will be none), Nie Xuan and Zi Long looked at each other, and at the same time burst out a burst of energy. laughter.

 Nie Xuan finally had his own experience of weapon refining, and this could not be achieved by just looking at other people's experiences. This also gave him greater confidence in weapon refining. He believed that if he could have enough materials, Then I will definitely be able to refine a good magic weapon.

 But the most important thing now is to get a cauldron for refining weapons. After all, letting Zilong cooperate with him to refine weapons is not a long-term solution.

 "Cauldron! Where can there be a cauldron in this place?"

 Nie Xuan decided to ask Humeng and the others if they knew who on this evil island knew how to refine weapons, and then see if they could get a cauldron back, but it really didn't work, even if Even if you rob, you have to grab one back!
