From dual spiritual roots to a sword master with all attributes

Fang Xiao wandered around the market town, stopping from time to time, and finally stopped in front of a shop with a plaque that read "Xu's Equipment Refining Shop".

He strode into the weapon refining shop. The shop was very small, and most of the magic weapons on display were of medium and low quality. The person in charge of the shop was a mortal young man.

The reason why he came to this shop was that he was told about it by the stall owner when he was chatting with him while shopping in the stall area.

This shop may look ordinary, but it is said that there is a master craftsman behind it who is able to craft top-level magical weapons. However, this Master Xu has a stubborn personality and a weird temper. He does not like to craft some common magical weapons, which is why all the magical weapons displayed in the shop are mid- and low-level ones.

He usually only accepts customized magic tools from customers, and often modifies the effects of the magic tools at will without the customers' consent, which makes many customers very dissatisfied. As a result, there are very few repeat customers, and only a small number of people believe in the ability of Master Xu.

Fang Xiao certainly didn't come here to refine weapons. Ever since he got the mini bronze bell, he found it very useful, but he didn't know its name, so he named it the God-Musing Bell.

However, it is only a top-grade magic weapon after all. After withstanding several attacks from himself and the White Tiger Demon, it has been somewhat damaged. I am worried that it will be destroyed sooner or later if it continues to be attacked. So I would like to ask Master Xu for help.

"Welcome, Master. If you need anything, please let me know."

"I'm here for the magic weapon, Master Xu is here."

"Yes, yes, but the master is refining the weapon right now."

It was unfortunate that I came here as I caught Master Xu refining a weapon. There is usually no fixed time for refining a weapon. It may take one or two days at the fastest or seven or eight days at the slowest. It is said that refining a magic weapon for the Golden Core Stage may take several months, sometimes even more than half a year. I don't know how long I have to wait.

"How long has Master Xu been operating the furnace?"

"Boom."

Before the errand boy could reply, he heard a loud noise from the backyard of the shop. Not long after, he saw a middle-aged monk coming out of the backyard angrily and leaving the shop cursing.

Normally, with such a commotion, there would be monks patrolling the market town who would come to check it out. However, no one has come for such a long time. It seems that this has happened more than once or twice, and the monks in the market town have become accustomed to it.

The handyman had just gone to the backyard, and it seemed that the backyard had been cleaned up.

"Master, please come this way. The master is waiting for you."

When they arrived at the backyard, they saw Master Xu. There was still black color on Master Xu's body and face. He was holding two tattered magic weapons in his hands and was still thinking about something. When he saw Fang Xiao coming, he put them into the storage bag.

"This Taoist friend came to me to refine some magical weapon."

He himself didn't care about his failure in refining the weapon just now.

"I am not here to refine a magical weapon, but to ask the master to help me see if this magical weapon can be upgraded."

As he spoke, Fang Xiao took out the God-enchanting Bell from the storage bag and handed it to Master Xu.

Master Xu took the God-Defining Bell and was initially uninterested, but as he looked at it he suddenly became interested.

"Hey, this is a good magic weapon. Both its design and materials are excellent. What a pity."

"What a pity."

"It's a pity that the refiner who refined this magic weapon is a waste. This magic weapon was intended to be a top-grade magic weapon, but the refiner's refining skills were terrible and it was wasted." Master Xu looked as if he was very disappointed in his friend.

"Master, I wonder if there is any way to repair this magic weapon."

"I don't like taking over magic weapons made by others, but I really can't bear to see such good things being ruined. I can help you, not only repair the tower, but also help you upgrade it to a top-grade magic weapon."

"Thank you very much, Master."

"Don't thank me yet. The upgrade is not 100% successful, but I am very confident. Secondly, the materials and processing fees required for the upgrade. Four hundred spirit stones are not too much, right?"

"Okay, I don't know how long it will take."

Fang Xiao thought about it and agreed.

"Just come and pick it up at this time tomorrow."

After both parties signed the contract, Fang Xiao left the shop, rented a place to live and began his daily practice.

Cultivation is a long-term process. Now when I cultivate my spiritual power, I can easily use the two secret methods of Jingxiao and Taibai to polish and condense my spiritual power.

Moreover, he discovered another benefit. After using his spiritual consciousness to control the spiritual power in his body for a long time, his spiritual consciousness has reached a subtle level of control. This is very beneficial for controlling magical instruments, casting spells, and practicing to break through the realm.

He took out a bottle of pills, a gourd of spiritual wine, Qi Gathering Pills and Qingyuan Wine from the storage bag. They were of great help to his current cultivation. Fang Xiao swallowed them both into his stomach, and felt the surging spiritual energy surging out. He did not dare to delay, and immediately sat down quickly to practice his skills to refine the pure spiritual energy. At this time, the role of subtle control was highlighted.

No matter how these spiritual energies rush around, they will eventually flow along the meridians into the dantian.

Ever since he started taking the spiritual wine and the elixir together, Fang Xiao could feel the exhilarating feeling of his cultivation level skyrocketing every day. At this moment, he felt that all the injuries and sufferings he had endured were worth it.

According to a rough estimate, it might take less than half a year, four months, or at most five months, to cultivate to the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining.

The next day came in a blink of an eye. Fang Xiao arrived at the door of Xu's Equipment Refining Shop on time. He was still a little nervous, after all, he heard the explosion of the furnace yesterday clearly.

"Master, you are here. Please come this way. Master Xu is waiting for you."

"Ah."

Entering the backyard, Master Xu was sitting in the same position as yesterday. There was a tray on the stone table in front of him, and the God-Maze Bell was on the tray.

"Daoyou is here. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. The upgrade process of the magic weapon went very smoothly. As for the effect, both the defense and mental attack are better than ordinary top-grade magic weapons."

"Thank you for your hard work, Master. This is your reward of 400 Spiritual Stones. Please count them."

Fang Xiao placed four hundred spirit stones on the stone table and picked up the Mishen Bell. The appearance of the Mishen Bell did not change, except that the golden color of the bell body turned into a deeper dark gold, giving people a very heavy feeling.

He mobilized his spiritual power to raise the Mi Shen Bell and hung it in the air. The tip of the Silver Edge Sword pointed directly at the Mi Shen Bell. A silver light flashed, and in an instant it was on the bell. As Fang Xiao had expected, he had just made a random attack with the Silver Edge Sword, which was only a top-grade magic weapon. It was normal for it to be bounced off. What really surprised him was that the Mi Shen Bell was not shaken at all.

"This is normal. When this bell was refined, a small piece of copper ore was incorporated into it. That is the material used to refine magic weapons. How can the magic weapon refined be ordinary?"

Master Xu pointed out Fang Xiao’s doubts.

The defensive power alone was enough to satisfy him, and coupled with the mental attack effect that could be used to achieve a surprise victory, he liked it no matter how he looked at it.

This master's skills are indeed not exaggerated.

"Master, can you help me see if this jade boat can be upgraded?"

"Let me see."

Master Xu took the jade boat, studied it carefully, nodded, shook his head, and handed it back to Fang Xiao.

"The craftsman who refined this flying magic weapon has a very solid foundation, and there are not even a few minor flaws to pick out. Unfortunately, the materials used to refine it are very ordinary, and being able to make a top-grade magic weapon is already his limit."

Fang Xiao took the jade boat with a look of regret. As there was nothing else to do, he said goodbye to Master Xu and left the refinery shop.

Now that everything was done, he walked directly out of the market town, ready to go back to the outer courtyard.
