Avenue Stowaway

The ground fire surged, but was completely swallowed up by a short sword. This scene was really weird.

"How could this happen?" Kong Fang whispered absentmindedly. He even forgot to use the formation to control the earth fire.

If Sun Hao was here, he would definitely exclaim in surprise, because this kind of thing is what every weapon cultivator aspires to achieve, because this situation represents a state of weapon refining, and this state has a name, called 'Fire Refining Golden Body'.

This rare situation will only occur when the two steps of removing impurities and manufacturing the blank are almost perfect. At this time, all the materials in the weapon are almost perfectly integrated together, and a kind of power will be generated in the dark. This power will attract the flame and allow the flame to temper the weapon itself more perfectly. This is the embodiment of skill being close to Tao.

Therefore, as long as the "Fire Alchemy Body" appears, even if the subsequent quenching and awakening are not done well, the quality of the weapon will definitely not be too bad.

The Fire-Refined Golden Body is usually something that only the Grandmasters of weapon cultivation can accomplish, but at this moment it happened to Kong Fang, an entry-level disciple. It must be said that this is an extremely strange thing.

However, all this is due to the fact that Kong Fang chose the earth refining method instead of the normal fire refining method when removing impurities and making the blanks.

The earth element is thick and broad, unlike the fire element which is violent and difficult to control. When removing impurities, Kong Fang used the earth element's power to blend into various materials and remove the unnecessary things one by one. During this process, the earth element's power was completely under Kong Fang's control.

However, it is difficult to achieve such delicate operations by using one of the external forces of the Fire Element, the Earth Fire. The power of the Fire Element is violent, and it refines from the outside to the inside. The power of the Earth Element is completely inclusive, and it works both inside and outside at the same time. It is more advantageous than the power of the Fire Element in removing impurities from the inside of the material.

Therefore, the rare situation of Fire Refining Golden Body was not caused by Kong Fang's superb refining skills and ability to control earth fire, but by the essential difference between the two forces, the power of fire and the power of earth.

This is equivalent to using a wooden sword and an iron sword to chop a piece of stone. The same force is used, but the damage caused is incomparable. The reason is that the iron sword is more suitable than the wooden sword.

However, if you want to use the power of earth to remove impurities, there is a prerequisite that cannot be circumvented, that is, the power of earth must be fully integrated into the refining materials. Kong Fang was not knowledgeable enough and had no idea what he had done. Otherwise, the weapon cultivators in this world would not all be people with fire talent, but people with earth talent.

Kong Fang, who had no idea that he had reached the realm of 'Fire Refining Golden Body' by accident, was still staring blankly at the dagger that was devouring the earth fire, his face full of confusion and puzzlement, and even a little fear.

People are always more likely to be afraid of unknown things.

However, if other people saw Kong Fang's expression at this moment, they would drown him with spit. Encountering such a rare good thing as the Fire Refining Golden Body, even if he was not wildly excited at this moment, he would not be stupid enough to be afraid.

"Whoosh", the underground fire jumped suddenly, and then returned to normal.

The dagger no longer devoured the earth fire.

It was not until then that Kong Fang came to his senses. Seeing that nothing bad had happened, Kong Fang felt relieved and felt like he had survived a disaster.

"Fortunately, fortunately, nothing terrible happened." Kong Fang breathed a sigh of relief. "This Weapon Sect is really stingy. It would have been fine if they had only built the worst yellow-grade refining room, but they actually caused the situation of unstable earth fire. If the earth fire suddenly erupted and broke through the formation, my life would be over." Kong Fang felt quite resentful.

However, at this time, the resentment of the disciples in the dozens of weapon refining rooms around them was even heavier. Kong Fang encountered the "Fire Refining Golden Body", so his weapon was not only fine, but also benefited greatly. But because of the "Fire Refining Golden Body", a lot of underground fire was attracted up, causing the people in the surrounding weapon refining rooms to suffer a great misfortune, and everyone's weapons were all turned into ashes.

Kong Fang controlled the formation, and the earth fire rolled up. The short sword floating in the earth fire suddenly flew out and quickly drilled into the quenching liquid on the side.

"Zizi", a cloud of white mist quickly appeared on the quenching liquid.

Kong Fang used a formation to seal the underground fire again, and later came to the quenching liquid pool. Looking at the dagger in the quenching liquid, Kong Fang felt curious and nervous, fearing that the strange situation just now would cause the dagger to be ruined.

Once this dagger is broken, he will have no new materials to refine weapons, and naturally he will not be able to pass the assessment of the Weapon Master.

"I hope the result won't be too bad. I'm not greedy. I don't want a spiritual treasure or a quasi-spiritual treasure. Just give me a weapon that can pass the test. This requirement is not high. All the great gods and immortals must bless me." Kong Fang muttered to himself.

But he said he was not greedy when he mentioned the spiritual treasure. You should know that Sun Hao, the inner hall disciple, made a shocking sound when he refined the low-grade spiritual treasure, and his reputation was extremely prominent. It's like someone saying that he doesn't want 1 billion or 100 million, and that one million is enough. Even one million is not a small amount.

After a while, Kong Fang put his hand into the quenching liquid.

"Gods and immortals, please bless me, I hope it won't be too bad." Kong Fang was still praying while pulling out the dagger. But the gods and immortals that Kong Fang mentioned were hiding somewhere now, so who would have time to pay attention to him?

Holding the dagger in his hand, Kong Fang examined it carefully.

The more he looked, the brighter the light in Kong Fang's eyes became, and the uneasiness on his face quickly turned into an excited smile.

"Even without the final step of awakening, my dagger should not be ranked in the last 200." The huge rock weighing on Kong Fang's heart was finally reduced by more than half, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Kong Fang has already stepped half way onto the path of cultivation, this world is full of beings who have entered the spiritual realm or even more powerful. Kong Fang is just a young cultivator who has not even completely entered the soul-guiding realm. In addition, he does not know much about this world. The probability of his death if he rashly runs to the wider world outside is definitely more than 80%.

Therefore, Kong Fang did not want to leave Qi Zong unless it was absolutely necessary, at least in the short term. Now, Kong Fang had Zhao Yong as his enemy, which made it even more difficult for Kong Fang to leave Qi Zong rashly, lest he be retaliated by Zhao Yong.

Kong Fang, who was carefully checking the grade of the dagger, suddenly stopped breathing and his face instantly became a little flushed, "It actually reached the third grade, I must be dreaming." Kong Fang couldn't help but pinched himself hard. Although he grimaced in pain, Kong Fang's face was full of excitement that he could not hide.

"Hahaha, a third-grade weapon, this is enough for me to pass the test." Kong Fang couldn't help laughing, "Third-grade weapon, maybe... I have a chance to enter the inner hall." Kong Fang's heart suddenly became hot. Once you become an inner hall disciple, your identity and status will change dramatically.

“The next step should be the very important awakening of the spirit. If the awakening of the spirit can be done well, the grade of this dagger can even be upgraded to another level, maybe even to the second grade. Once it is promoted to a second-grade weapon, my possibility of becoming an inner hall disciple will be increased to more than 90%.” Seeing the hope of becoming an inner hall disciple, Kong Fang attached more importance to the last step of awakening the spirit.

In fact, there is no subdivision of grades for weapons below Lingbao except Quasi Lingbao. If it is not Lingbao, it can only be considered as inferior. However, after all, the Weapon Sect focuses on refining weapons. In order to let each disciple know more about their own situation, the Weapon Sect has added six more grades below Quasi Lingbao, from Grade 6 to Grade 1, and after Grade 1 is Quasi Lingbao.

In fact, according to the Fire Refining Golden Body that appeared before, it is not surprising that this short sword can directly reach the first grade or even a quasi-spiritual treasure. But the materials obtained by Kong Fang are too poor, and it is already extremely terrifying to reach the third grade now.

The other disciples were generally hovering between the sixth and fifth grades. Those who could reach the fourth grade were extremely rare, and those who could reach the third grade were even rarer. As for the second grade, unless there were special refining materials, it was almost impossible for the beginners to refine it. This was also the reason why Zhao Yong wanted to snatch Kong Fang's Qingming Stone. After all, special materials could improve the grade of weapons, which was of great benefit to this assessment.

"To awaken the spirit, I must integrate a formation into this dagger, but I only have a simple formation in my memory. Even if I integrate this formation into this dagger, the grade of the dagger probably won't be improved much." Thinking back to the formation in his memory, Kong Fang couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Without a good formation, the effect of awakening the spirit would naturally not be very good. This made Kong Fang, who was in excitement, quickly calm down.

The assessment of the Weapon Sect is that only those who rank in the top 30 in the quality of their weapons can enter the inner hall. Kong Fang had never expected to enter the inner hall. He would have been satisfied as long as he could keep his status as an entry-level disciple. However, when Kong Fang found that this short sword had reached the third grade, he could not help but have the idea of ​​becoming an inner hall disciple.

Becoming an inner hall disciple is a step to heaven, and you can practice Taoism from now on. Although Kong Fang has also started to practice now, he only has a very high-level soul refining method, but he does not have a good practice method to cooperate, which makes his strength progress very slowly.

Therefore, Kong Fang definitely did not want to miss the opportunity to become an inner hall disciple. Unfortunately, the formation in his memory was too simple, and his idea of ​​becoming an inner hall disciple was shattered.

"Forget it. I should be satisfied as long as I can keep my current status. At worst, I can work hard to become an inner-chamber disciple in two years."

Kong Fang immediately put aside all distracting thoughts, took out a small piece of peak gold from his arms, and carved on the dagger according to the simple formation in his memory. The fragments of peak gold stuck to the dagger, giving it a unique beauty.

The formation that Kong Fang depicted had only one simple function, which was to disperse the force being borne. When attacked, this formation would disperse the concentrated attack force throughout the sword, which was equivalent to letting the entire sword bear the attack.

This ability looks powerful, but it is actually useless. This is because the formation is too simple and does not have much power. As long as the attacker is slightly stronger, the formation will lose its effect and cannot disperse the attack force.

But now it's better than nothing. Kong Fang, who only has this one formation, has no choice. Of course, other beginners usually only have such a simple formation. Only those who have been beginners for several years and have made contributions to the sect can exchange for better formations.

To activate weapons and integrate them into formations, the best way is actually to use magic power to construct formations. However, since these disciples have not yet embarked on the path of cultivation and have no magic power, they can only use this simple and crude method to activate weapons.

Kong Fang, who was fully devoted to awakening his spirit, gradually let his consciousness enter the Purple Palace and appeared under the vast starry sky. However, Kong Fang's hand holding the peak gold did not slow down at all, and he was still drawing the formation almost instinctively.

His eyes were empty as he stared at the dagger in his hand, but his consciousness was looking at the vast starry sky. Kong Fang felt empty in his heart. Gradually, the formation that Kong Fang drew was different from the one in his memory, and some subtle details had changed.

After a while, when he finished carving the formation, Kong Fang suddenly came back to his senses with a start.

"Hey, what happened to me just now? I seemed to be in a trance for a moment." Kong Fang's eyes were a little confused.

When he looked down and saw that the formation had been carved, Kong Fang was delighted and immediately forgot his previous trance. Without carefully observing the formation on the sword, he turned around and reopened the formation that sealed the underground fire, allowing the underground fire to rush out. Then Kong Fang threw the dagger into the underground fire.

Under the calcination of the earth fire, the formation carved by the peak gold slowly merged into the dagger. At the moment when the formation and the dagger were completely integrated, a faint purple light suddenly appeared on the dagger, but the purple light quickly merged into the dagger again.

Under the reflection of the underground fire, Kong Fang did not see this strange scene.
