The phoenix fire is an essential material for refining utensils. Yu Lou skillfully adds peachwood phoenix charcoal to the refining furnace.
Beside him, the man with red eyebrows sat on a chair, silently watching the two brothers coordinate their actions.
In the absence of refining bead-shaped talismans, it is necessary to cooperate with elixir water to reshape jade ink. Yu An quickly went to the back yard outside the qin yun qingxi pool and drew a basin of elixir water.
"Let's begin, the temperature of the elixir fire is just right," Yu Lou reminded.
Yu An took a deep breath and threw the jade into the refining furnace. Then, with spiritual energy, he took some spiritual water and put it into the refining furnace's water trough for future use.
He skillfully followed the three years of learning the refining method, step by step operating the phoenix fire, starting to refine jade ink.
However, Yu An's expression soon turned strange.
"Master, there is something wrong." Yu Lou also noticed the problem.
The situation of spiritual water stimulation for jade ink was inconsistent with the past experience, and the jade ink Yu An was refining seemed to be problematic.
The man with red eyebrows stood up to take control of the refining furnace and the elixir fire, using his spiritual awareness to examine the piece of jade ink.
"There's no problem... No, it's not the problem with the jade ink!"
The dog day of, the leopard Jiang chang away, new come this is not the stuff, this beast even to water add water in the water!”
How beastly can the cultivators sent out by the Red Lantern Cult be?
The answer from the man with red eyebrows is, don't insult animals!
"What should we do now?"
Even Yu An was taken aback, not to mention Yu Lou.
The appearance of the disciples of the Red Lantern Cult is really disgusting. Even though they have already paid what they should pay, every year, hundreds of spiritual stones, the watchman still continues to make money.
It's so beastly!
"No!" The man with red eyebrows harrumphed coldly, manipulating spiritual energy to disperse the water Yu An had sent, separating out the ordinary water that had been mixed in.
"Continue, take over the control."
Yu An continued to sweat as he kept refining, while Yu Lou turned to look at his master and asked.
"Do they not fear that someone will come and expose them?"
The man with red eyebrows answered with a stern expression.
"Humph, Jiang's elder ancestor is the disciple of Jin Dan True Man, with purple court cultivation."
Now this Mu Chunze, his teacher is also from the Purple Mansion.
You think the watchman is just trying to make money?
No, these people are here with a mission, who dares to step forward?
Moreover, the Merit Hall of the Red Lantern Cult has drained the remaining wealth of cultivators within the realm over these years, so it's natural for the Mu family to strip the land even more fiercely."
At this point, the two no longer said anything, silently watching Yu An refine the utensils.
Half an hour later, Yu An finally refined the jade ink axe.
On the axe blade, the size of a palm, three layers of basic prohibitions were refined: firmness, manipulation, and enhancement of power. This has already become an inferior magical utensil.
"It's acceptable. Although only six levels of refined space remain, it has entered the door of medium-grade magical utensils."
The man with red eyebrows looked at the jade ink axe that Yu An had refined and made a judgment.
The number of prohibitions in medium-grade magical utensils ranges from nine to seventeen layers, and the jade ink axe indeed only barely qualifies.
But Yu An only led the fifth level of energy, and this result is already quite good.
After that, the man with red eyebrows looked at Yu Lou and reminded.
"Yu Lou, it's your turn. This Soaked Blood Copper uses the essence of the venomous frog's life blood, which has the nature of water. It also has two natures: gold and water. How confident are you?"
Holding the soaked blood copper in his hand, Yu Lou responded modestly.
"Try your best."
Yu An beside him has already brought another basin of spiritual water from Qin Yun Qingxi, eagerly watching his master, implying that he wants his master to finish the water as soon as possible so that he can start refining the utensil.
"All right, I'm looking forward to it," the man with red eyebrows replied with a smile.
Yu Lou was very calm, holding the soaked blood copper in his hand for a long time before putting it into the refining furnace.
The peach wood phoenix fire burned fiercely, and Yu An's face was covered in soot. The hot flames licked the copper in the furnace, and under the excitation of the phoenix fire and spiritual water, its spirit reached its most active state quickly.
Yu Lou selected several other types of auxiliary materials from the material shelf and put them into the furnace one by one.
Yu An saw the trick, this was the formula for a purple-copper magical sword!
"Are you going to refine a flying sword?" he exclaimed.
"Be quiet!" the man with red eyebrows snapped.
Yu An stuck out his tongue and said, "I talk a lot when I'm refining, but you don't allow me to speak when he's refining the utensil."
Master, I am also your apprentice!
Feeling the changes in the purple copper, Yu Lou began to sweat on his forehead.
The strength of the purple copper is different from that of cold keng iron. Cold keng iron is a rare material in the nine-grade spiritual items, which can produce excellent magical utensils in terms of attack and felling.
But the purple copper is long for its high spiritual energy conversion rate. The purple copper beads given to the two brothers by Zhong Ningyao can serve as a mobile platform for remotely casting spells during duels.
Moreover, the form of the purple copper sword determines that it cannot only serve as a platform for artillery, as there is no need to refine it into a magical sword. It would be more practical to simply refine it into a purple copper bead.
The purple copper sword is about breaking the law!
When a spell flies over from the other side, simply raise the purple copper sword and strike it, and you can break the spell that has tenfold spiritual energy with just a threefold expenditure of spiritual power.
And an advantage in one small round is already obtained!
But the refining of the purple copper sword that breaks laws is extremely difficult. When Yu Lou reached half, he realized that he had been too arrogant.
He activated the jade orb in his mind, and within it, there was already a small tube of golden light accumulated.
Looking at the sweaty Yu Lou, the man with red eyebrows also looked worried.
He knew that Yu Lou was on the verge of losing control over the turbulent spirit of the purple copper——the high spiritual energy conversion rate behind its special properties, purple copper is far more difficult to control than jade ink, and it's easy to explode while refining.
At this moment, the man with red eyebrows felt a complex mix of emotions. He hoped that Yu Lou could refine the purple copper sword, after all, he had taught Yu Lou for several years.
But he also had a hidden hope that Yu Lou would fail in his refining attempt. After all, if Yu Lou could refine a mid-grade magical sword at the age of sixteen, how would Red Eyebrows feel about himself when he finally refines his first mid-grade flying sword at forty-six years old?
Hence, the realm where a disciple does not have to be less than their master, and a master does not have to be wiser than their disciple, is not an easily achievable state for just anyone.
In front of the refining furnace, Yu Lou gritted his teeth and made a risky decision. The purple copper sword is definitely not going to be refined, and the gold light in the jade orb is useless either.
He mobilized his spiritual energy and directly discarded a third of the purple copper liquid, leaving two-thirds to continue the refining process.
After the decrease in quantity, Yu Lou successfully suppressed the turbulent spirit of the purple copper!
The gold light of the jade orb was consumed rapidly, and Yu Lou's refining technique was both stable and fast.
The speed and accuracy of refining the prohibitions were also greatly improved.
The man with red eyebrows exhaled and relaxed his tensed nerves.
He didn't believe that half a piece of purple copper could be refined into a mid-grade magical utensil. Mid-grade magical utensils require at least nine layers of prohibitions, and if the material for the magical utensil is too small, it's impossible to refine nine layers.
But the man with red eyebrows was not pleased; instead, he felt a bit regretful.
It's actually quite good if Yu Lou can refine a mid-grade flying sword at the age of sixteen.
But soon, his expression became serious again.
Because, under Yu Lou's control, the 'flying sword' in the furnace was quickly taking shape.
But as the shape of the magical weapon became more and more distinct, it actually looked less like a flying sword.
He is......trying to refine a copper spike?
No, it's not a spike either!
What is it?
Why is it in a flat shape?
Could it be that he is refining a copper mirror?
In the refining of magical utensils, excessively pursuing surface area based on the same weight can lead to insufficient durability of the resulting magical utensil.
But with insufficient surface area, the number of prohibitions for the magical utensil cannot be increased.
Yu Lou chose to refine the remaining purple copper into a flat copper mirror, sacrificing durability!
Adopting an extreme approach to achieve the maximum functionality!
The thin purple copper mirror, which can achieve the maximum number of prohibitions while sacrificing the durability of the magical utensil, is a flat copper mirror.
From a flying sword to a copper cone, and from the dispersion of the copper cone to the copper mirror, Yu Lou has pulled Red Eyebrows around in circles.
Finally, when Yu Lou presented the purple copper mirror to Red Eyebrows, he didn't know what to say.
"This......Well, the jade and gold-dual-natured purple copper mirror of the ninth-grade spiritual item. Yu Lou, you have a lot of ideas."
Peering at the purple copper mirror in his hand, the man with red eyebrows was somewhat taken aback.
Similarly, three layers of prohibitions were refined into it, but Yu Lou left at least ten levels of refined space through his exquisite level of refining techniques. This has become the embryo of a mid-grade excellent magical item.
Looking at the copper mirror that his brother had refined, Yu An comforted himself that he was just lacking the fire spirit root. In the future, when he used earth-inclined refining techniques, he would definitely refine better magical utensils than Yu Lou.
"This is your first mid-grade magical utensil. A step below mid-grade is still mid-grade, Yu Lou, give it a name," Red Eyebrows said.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Lou said.
"Call it Ren Shui Fa Jing. However... Its current situation is too awkward, completely useless. Could I trouble you, Master, to refine it slightly?"
This mirror is designed for functionality, but it currently only has three layers of prohibitions, which completely fail to highlight its functionality. In other words, it's now a waste.
"Alright, Yu An, give me your inkstone axe. I'll refine them all together."
"You have already reached the level of refining mid-grade magical utensils. Your level of refining techniques is sufficient now. Next, you should learn about precise refining and increasing power."
Taking the inkstone axe, Red Eyebrows looked at the two young men.
"Tomorrow, come earlier. I will take you to Qingxiu Alley and learn you how to use the spiritual energy of the world to increase the power of your magical utensils."
