From A Stronghold NPC To The Final BOSS

In theory, it could already be used to forge first-grade weapons.

However ...

Under normal circumstances.

Among the medium grade blacksmiths, there were very few who could forge first grade refined weapons, or rather, the success rate was very low.

Only those top middle-grade blacksmiths could do that.

Only then could he try to forge a first-grade refined weapon.

The rest.

At most, they could only forge fifth-grade or fourth-grade.

As for medium grade blacksmiths who could cast third and second grade metals, they were already considered to be of extremely high standards.

For example, the head of the smithing Hall in Yuan sect.

According to Qin shujian’s understanding ...

The other party could only forge third-grade sharp weapons.

To a sect ...

If he were to put in all his effort to nurture only one middle-grade blacksmith, he would definitely suffer a huge loss.

However, using life value to improve the forging of the ancestral Codex ...

Qin shujian realized that he knew everything about middle-grade blacksmiths like the back of his hand.

If middle-grade blacksmiths were also divided into ranks.

Then, he should be at the top of the game right now.

“A middle-grade blacksmith!”

Qin shujian muttered to himself as he looked at the stone table in front of him. His fingers suddenly moved, and the true energy in his body spread out. At the same time, the spiritual Qi of the world was guided and gathered at the tip of his finger.

Immediately after.

He placed his finger on the stone table in front of him and began to gesture something on it according to his memory of a medium-grade blacksmith.

The spiritual Qi of heaven and earth surged like a tide. The leaves rustled when they were blown by the spiritual Qi.

At this moment, Qin shujian seemed to have blocked out everything in his surroundings. He could only see the stone table in front of him and the runes that he was carving with his fingers.

With the guidance of the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, as well as the condensation of true essence.

A strange rune that didn’t look like a normal character was slowly forming on the stone table.

Although the runes were strange and didn’t fit in any existing text, anyone who saw the runes would involuntarily have the meaning they represented appear in their minds.

Reinforcement runes!

Very quickly.

A rune was formed at the tip of Qin shujian’s finger. In an instant, a large amount of spiritual Qi from the heavens and the earth gathered into the rune. When the light appeared, it slowly seeped into the stone table.

The stone table that had been infused with a rune seemed to have an invisible light flickering within it.

After the first solidification rune was successfully formed ...

Qin shujian had no intention of stopping. He moved his fingers again and continued to form the second rune.

Similarly.

It was no different from the previous rune. This time, he was still condensing the reinforcement rune.

If someone were to look from the outside.

A large amount of spiritual energy above the mountain was pulled into the courtyard. The dense spiritual energy gathered and shrouded the courtyard like a light green mist.

To a true martial realm cultivator, this was a huge problem.

Naturally, it was impossible to not notice such a change in the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.

When they saw the place where the spiritual Qi finally gathered, they immediately gave up the idea of continuing to listen.

It was the courtyard where Qin shujian was.

It caused such a commotion.

He was probably cultivating some powerful cultivation technique.

As for why he didn’t go to the Liangshan stronghold and chose to cultivate in the courtyard, no one knew the reason.

There were some things.

They didn’t dare to ask more.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed.

Although the stone table’s appearance hadn’t changed, it seemed to be enshrouded in a divine light. The small stone table gave people the illusion that it was as heavy as a mountain.

When the last rune was cast.

Qin shujian finally retracted his finger. The spiritual Qi that he had gathered in the sky and earth had lost its target. It started to disperse in all directions.

it’s a pity that this stone table is only made of ordinary material. Even if it has been nurtured by spiritual Qi since it was placed here, it can’t change much. It’s already at its limit to accommodate 72 runes!

Looking at the stone table in front of him, although he shook his head helplessly, a faint smile still appeared on his face.

Obviously.

...

Qin shujian was still very satisfied with the masterpiece that he had created.

In his eyes.

The stone table’s attributes had changed greatly.

The seventy-two runes directly raised this ordinary stone table to the second stage.

However, there was a price to pay.

Qin shujian also felt physically and mentally exhausted.

He had never felt so exhausted, not even when he had fought dozens of physical invulnerability cultivators.

If he were to carve another 36 runes ...

The stone table would definitely be able to rise from the second grade to the first grade.

However ...

If he wanted to upgrade a spirit weapon from grade one, this stage would not be easy.

...

The stone table was still the same stone table.

However, the stone table was no longer the stone table of the past.

It was a stone table with a defense comparable to a second-grade armor artifact.

Qin shujian then carved a few runes that could gather spirit Qi on the four stone stools.

Instantly.

The surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be attracted and began to slowly gather towards the stone bench.

However, the pulling force was not strong.

At best.

It was only ten to twenty percent denser than the other places in Yuan sect.

At that moment, the four stone stools were surrounding the stone table. The spiritual Qi that had gathered had also indirectly infected the stone table. Combined with the fact that it was already a second-grade item, Qin shujian believed that he could use this to slowly increase the quality of the stone table.

It might be a few months.

It might take years.

In any case, anything that was soaked in spirit Qi would be slowly removed of its impurities, and its quality would be improved.

He would wait for the right time.

Qin shujian would then condense another 36 runes to further improve the stone table.

After doing all this.

He returned to his bedroom.

This time, he didn’t meditate. Instead, he really fell asleep.

——

Marquis northcloud’s residence.

Xiao Hong also reported the matter truthfully.

Marquis northcloud’s expression remained unchanged. He waited for the other party to finish speaking before he slowly said, “”How much of his words do you think is true or false?”

“In this old servant’s opinion, it’s 70% true and 30% false. He must have other plans for slaughtering the evil spirits, but eliminating the problem of the future demon disaster should also be one of them.

After all, Yuan sect’s roots were in the Liangshan true domain and this was something that could not be shaken.

According to this old servant’s thoughts.

Qin shujian is very arrogant. I’m afraid he wants to break the true Dominion’s shackles and become the spirit protectorate’s protectorate Lord!”

Xiao Hong’s expression was grave as he replied in a deep voice.

Even though he had only met Qin shujian a few times, he was able to make a rough guess based on the information he had gathered from his conversations with Qin shujian and the way he conducted himself.

of course, ” Marquis northcloud said. very few people who can become a protectorate Lord aren’t proud and arrogant. However, it’s extremely difficult to become a protectorate Lord of the spirit protectorate.

Throughout the history of the Great Zhao dynasty, I’m afraid there are only a few people who have been promoted to the domain lord of the spirit domain!”

At this point.

He paused for a moment, seemingly recalling something.

Soon after.

Marquis northcloud looked at Xiao Hong and said, “since he wants to kill the demons, I’ll give him the chance. There are 1396 mortal domains in the North cloud Prefecture.

Tell them the location of any place that can seal demons.

There was only one point.

We must not cause a devil disaster.”

“This old servant will obey!”

“Go down!”

Marquis northcloud waved his hand to dismiss Xiao Hong.

The reason he had told Qin shujian about these places was to avoid the trouble of causing a devil disaster in the future.

As for the location of the true Dominion’s sinister devil seal ...

Marquis northcloud had no intention of telling the other party.

Because ...

They were the evil demons sealed in the true Dominion.

It was definitely not something the demons sealed in the mortal domain could compare to.

Even though the other party was the true Dominion’s protectorate Lord, Marquis northcloud did not think that he would be able to kill the sinister Devils in the true Dominion.

If he failed ...

It would be enough to shake the foundation of North cloud Manor.

Mount Liang.

Qin shujian lay down for five days straight.

In these five days, he didn’t do any cultivation, but just slept.

On the fifth day.

Under the blinding sunlight, he finally woke up from his dream.

“Phew, I haven’t had such a good sleep in a long time!”

Qin shujian stretched his back lazily. He felt that all his fatigue had disappeared without a trace after he woke up this time.

He didn’t know how long he had slept this time.

But in the path of forging ...

After waking up this time, he had a deeper understanding.

If a blacksmith wanted to engrave runes, not only would they need to consume their own true essence, but it would also greatly consume their mental energy.

The former could be supplemented by the spirit Qi of heaven and earth.

The latter could only rely on his own body to slowly recover.

This was also why.

After Qin shujian finished forging a second-grade stone table, he returned to his room and fell asleep.

Such fatigue.

He simply couldn’t calm his heart to meditate and cultivate.

This also indirectly showed that blacksmiths who had reached a certain level could not cast the corresponding items without restraint as long as they had sufficient materials.

It involved the problem of mental exhaustion.

As a top middle-grade blacksmith, he could tell that the silver-armored man was not an ordinary blacksmith.

Qin shujian estimated.

He could only forge a first-grade divine weapon in a month at most.

Any more and it would harm his body.

unless I break through to the spiritual martial force, it would be impossible for me to become a powerful blacksmith with my true martial realm strength.

however, if I can be promoted to a superior-grade blacksmith or even a master blacksmith, it should be easier to condense such a low-level rune.

“This way, the mental exhaustion won’t be as bad as it is now.”

When he saw that his life value points had increased from less than 10000 to more than 60000, Qin shujian could roughly guess how long he had been asleep.

On the other side.

After obtaining the pendant of the sinister devil.

The players of sky origin sect began to expand the scope of their search for the sealed evil spirits.

This was something that could not be helped.

Apart from increasing the probability of finding demons, the pendant of the sinister devil that was exchanged for 1000 contribution points had no other use. In terms of quality, it was far inferior to even those of the ninth stage.

If they couldn’t find the sealed sinister devil ...

This 1,000 contribution points was no different from a waste.

&Nbsp; so,

The teams that had exchanged for the devil pendants had set off from the Liangshan true domain and were searching in all directions.

As for the places near the Liangshan true domain ...

The players had long since plundered the land.

If they wanted to find the sealed sinister devil ...

He could only leave the Liangshan true domain and head to the other true domains and mortal domains.

In a dense forest.

A bright flower bloomed in the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth. As time passed, it slowly withered and gave birth to a green fruit.

Once the fruit was born, there would be a spiritual fragrance.

It immediately attracted the attention of the others.

this is ... The MU Luo fruit!?

Xu Kai looked at the fruit in front of him. After a moment of confusion, he immediately reacted and looked pleasantly surprised.

The other four players beside him were also overjoyed.

I remember that the last time someone collected mu Luo fruits, they received 500 contribution points for submitting the mission!

it’s too much of a waste to exchange the MU Luo fruit for contribution points directly. Didn’t the elder of the pill refinery Hall issue a mission some time ago? if you collect the MU Luo fruit, you can get a three-revolution primary pill!

Upon hearing this, these people looked at the murago fruit with even more fervour.

Although the three revolution primary pill was only a level three medicinal pill, its effects were not much weaker than a level four medicinal pill.

At this stage, the players could not take an unlimited number of pills.

Every time he swallowed a pill to aid his cultivation, he would need a certain amount of time to buffer it. He could only take another pill after the medicinal effect had faded.

Otherwise, the remnants of the medicinal pills would pile up.

The effects of taking the pill would be greatly reduced.

As for the three revolution primary pill, if it was compared to the primary increasing pill ...

Then the effect of one three revolution primary elixir was at least equivalent to ten energy-increasing elixir.

This was a pill that could directly increase experience for true martial realm players after consuming it, and it was a pill that had a chance of breaking through to the next level.

If he wanted to exchange.

A three revolution primary elixir was worth at least 1500 contribution points.

Therefore, when he saw the MU Luo fruit, he was stunned.

Xu Kai took out one and picked it, then put it into a Jade box. Just as he was about to put it away ...

“Whoosh!”

The sound of air breaking came, and immediately, a sense of threat welled up in his heart.

Xu Kai unsheathed the long sword at his waist without a second thought. Then, as the sword-light danced, it collided with the two black dots.

It was a sudden change.

It also attracted the attention of the other four players.

“Who are you? get out here!”

you dare to attack us in the dark!!

One of the players took out a silver needle and threw it in the direction of the sneak attack.

In that instant.

The silver needles scattered into ten thousand cold light spots and directly entered the forest.

Instantly!

With the explosion of powerful true core strength, nearly ten figures burst out from the forest and surrounded Xu Kai and the others.

At this moment, Xu Kai had already put away the jade box. He didn’t even look at the long arrow that had been knocked down on the ground. Instead, he turned to look at the people who had surrounded them and said with a dark expression, “”We shouldn’t have any grudges against each other, so why did you sneak attack us?”

While they were talking.

A hint of solemness flashed past his eyes.

They were also surrounded by players, and there were a total of eight people here.

Although Xu Kai did not have the insight skill, he could tell that there were many difficult opponents among the eight people just by his perception.

“Hand over the item and I’ll let you go.”

“Friend, it’s not a good habit to take things by force.” Xu Kai’s eyes narrowed slightly. At this time, he had secretly gathered his essential Qi and was ready to attack at any time.

The leader sneered. either you hand it over, or I’ll kill you and drop the item. You can choose ...

“Kill him first!”

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Xu Kai immediately exploded from his original position. His long sword was covered with true energy and emitted a powerful aura. Like a shooting star, he had already charged over.
