Within the Earthly Fire Heavenly Cauldron, flames raged and flames raged. Among the hundreds of Earthly Fire Veins, seventy-two of them had already been activated by Liang and Wei with the help of the banners, emitting blazing flames that surged into the sky. Even from a hundred miles away, one could see streaks of red light flashing and soaring.
The disciples of Zhen Luo Union hadn't seen such a scene for many years, so they couldn't help but stop and watch.
Even the disciples on duty outside the Heavenly Cauldron watched with interest. However, the Realm Guarding Formation was already activated, so they weren't afraid of outsiders causing trouble.
Liang and Wei sat in front of the north and south fire vents with five colored banners behind them. At this moment, they each controlled the thirty-six earth veins and slowly activated the fire qi.
This fire was divided into yin and yang qi. Due to the circulation of the earth veins, it constantly changed. The two had to carefully maintain the balance of yin and yang. Otherwise, if the qi veins became chaotic, the cave would collapse.
If a blacksmith only had a normal cauldron, no matter how high their cultivation was, they wouldn't be able to last for several years without rest. At most, they would be able to create a talisman.
What was left was to slowly nurture it in one's acupuncture points, like training. First, the impurities would be absorbed, then the essence would be refined. When the talisman was flawless, only then could it give birth to true consciousness and increase in rank.
However, using a human body to nurture a talisman required a long time. At least a few hundred years, at most a thousand years. To create a profound talisman, who knew how much hard work was needed.
With the Earth Fire Heavenly Cauldron, the talisman refiner didn't need to worry about running out of energy. They could use all their methods and finish everything they needed to do inside the Heavenly Cauldron. This way, after a cultivator obtained a talisman, they could cultivate true consciousness in an extremely short amount of time. If they were lucky, they could even create a true talisman.
Zhang Yan sat on the stone platform next to the Heavenly Cauldron, paying attention to the changes inside the cauldron, waiting for the time to sacrifice the blood to the cauldron.
The sun rose and the moon set. An entire day passed. When it was early in the morning, the two saw that they had attracted enough Earth Fire. At the same time, they shouted and pulled out a blue banner behind them. Waving it, a cool breeze came from the banner and floated into the field. It filled the fire door and sealed it.
Liang Chang Gong saw that the fire was ready and said loudly, "Spiritual Master Zhang, the time has come. The time has come. You can use your essence blood to sacrifice to the furnace. "
Without hesitation, Zhang Yan bit the tip of his tongue and spat three mouthfuls of blood into it. Then, without looking at the results, he took a few pills and swallowed them. Then, he closed his eyes and meditated. Even with his profound cultivation, spitting out three mouthfuls of blood essence still consumed a lot of vitality. His face was slightly pale.
Liang and Wei Xiaobao saw that the flame suddenly dimmed down, and then they looked at the situation. It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.
The two of them were also secretly speechless. They didn't expect that Zhang Yan's Profound Qi was so huge and pure that it could even suppress the power of the Earth Fire. Moreover, looking at the situation, it seemed that he wouldn't be able to refine it for a while.
About two hours passed. Just Now, the fire was slowly reigniting. The two of them heaved a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly at each other.
The refining of treasures in the Middle Pillar Continent was not like the other continents, where the treasures would only recognize their master after the refinement was completed. Instead, they paid particular attention to the treasures' recognition of their master when the furnace was opened. This action was related to the success or failure of the subsequent techniques, so the blood sacrifice in the fire was especially important. If the two of them had delayed a little more. If they couldn't completely refine the three mouthfuls of blood essence, they would probably have to start the fire again. Then, they would have to start all over again and the three mouthfuls of blood essence would have been wasted.
The first time they worked together to refine a treasure, it was for a Yuanying Spiritual Master. However, at that time, they didn't have much experience. At that time, the fire was too big, causing the cultivator to spit out several mouthfuls of blood essence. However, the fire didn't change at all. Afterwards, he almost lost half his life and barely managed to pass it.
Thus, this time, they were afraid that Zhang Yan didn't have enough blood essence. Based on their previous experience, they suppressed the fire a little. However, they didn't expect that Zhang Yan also cultivated the Divine Contract. He was a Strength Cultivator and also had a Grade One Core. His Profound Qi was so huge that it was beyond their imagination. This sudden change almost caused them to fail.
After resting for a while, Zhang Yan also recovered from the loss of his Profound Qi. Seeing that the two of them were calm and there didn't seem to be anything wrong, he sat there without moving.
After seven days, this ball of fire was completely tamed by Liang and Wei.
Almost at the same time, they pulled out the red banners behind them, waved them, and pointed them down. The fire crouched on the ground and obediently stopped moving. It was no longer as tyrannical and imposing as before.
The two of them looked at each other and saw a hint of admiration and admiration in each other's eyes.
When they used the Heavenly Cauldron in the past, even with the teachings of their masters, it took them a whole half a month to suppress the fire, leaving them in a difficult situation.
Today, they were so relaxed, not only because their cultivation had improved, but also because they went back and thought about it repeatedly, trying to improve on their mistakes. Otherwise, if one of the two of them was half a step behind, they would have to spend a lot more time.
Liang Changgong turned around and looked at Zhang Yan. He cupped his hands and said, "Spiritual Master Zhang, the fire is ready. Now, we can ask the Black Tortoise to shed its shell."
Zhang Yan nodded and took out the tortoise shell from his sleeve. He threw it down and it fell into the pit of unknown depth.
Liang and Wei saw it and shouted. They waved the red banners together. With a whoosh, both of them separated a Yin Fire and a Yang Fire from their banners. They supported the tortoise shell and slowly descended. When they reached ninety feet, Liang Changgong kept the Yang Fire and replaced it with the Yin Fire. Wei Shudan kept the Yin Fire and replaced it with the Yang Fire. Like this, every ninety feet, they would rotate and replace it. After about thirty-six times, the Black Tortoise shell had already sunk into the depths of the pit.
The two of them stuck the red banners into the ground and took out the yellow banners from behind them. With a wave, countless white stones flew up like young swallows returning to the forest. They gathered at one place and in an instant, they formed a circle around the tortoise shell. They piled up like a mound and looked like a well railing.
Wei Shudan took the time to glance at the top of his head. There were more than a hundred disciples on flying boats wandering back and forth. He said loudly, "What are you guys doing there? What did I tell you before? Why aren't you moving? "
Hearing his order, these disciples came to their senses. They hurriedly threw the treasured materials that they had prepared in the flying boats down. In the blink of an eye, they were thrown into the bottomless pit.
When all the treasured materials on the flying boats had been thrown in, the disciples turned the flying boats around and retreated in an orderly manner. The area was immediately empty.
Liang and Wei Shudan pulled out the green banners and waved them lightly. Like a fire opening spewing smoke, the flames suddenly shot up to a height of several tens of feet, shaking the pit to the point that it trembled. Streams of red and dazzling liquid seeped out from the ground and accumulated thicker and thicker. It slowly rose from the pit made of white stones and drowned the Black Tortoise shell and the treasured materials.
When it was about to overflow, Liang Changgong said, "Brother Wei, are you going to do the 'Cover Pass', or am I going to do it?"
Wei Shudan replied with a smile, "Brother Liang, there's no need to be modest. You can go first this time. The next pass will have to depend on me."
Liang Changgong laughed and said, "Then I won't refuse."
He picked up the yellow banners and pointed downward. In an instant, a gust of wind swept up, and a large amount of golden sand flew up and filled the pit.
After an hour, there was no more movement in the pit. The fire and wind stopped, as if nothing had happened.
The two of them came down from the rocks with relaxed expressions. With a leap, they came to stand beside Zhang Yan.
Liang Changgong first wiped the sweat on his forehead, then he cupped his hands and said, "Zhenren Zhang, these treasured materials are extremely difficult to refine. They need at least eight months to warm and nourish before they can be opened again. This place is protected by a formation, so there's no need for you to stay here. You can come back when the time comes."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "When I was in the Donghua Continent, the method of refining treasures I saw was completely different from this. Today, my horizons have been broadened."
Wei Shudan smiled and said, "Zhenren Zhang, you may not know, but in these ten days, we actually haven't really started the sacrificial refining of the treasured weapons."
Seeing Zhang Yan's slightly surprised expression, Liang Changgong was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he explained, "Zhenren Zhang, this method is called 'Cover the Ground Fire Cage'. When using this method, you need to block the exit of the fire, leaving only a few secret holes. Through this method, the treasured materials can be smelted to remove impurities and purify. If the vessel is good, it can absorb all of its Qi. After eighty-one days, the soil will be dug out. Repeat this a few times, and the treasured weapons can be upgraded again."
Zhang Yan couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes. He said, "Oh? The two of you actually have this kind of ability? "
The tortoise shell was originally the remains of a Grotto-Heaven Great Demon, and it was already a rare item in the world. However, according to what the two of them said, they could actually refine it again and make it better than before. This was something he had never thought of before.
Speaking of his own ability, Liang Changgong also showed off and said, "Zhenren Zhang, everything in the world has its use. It's not that the rarer the better, but how to use it properly. It's like those who don't understand only know how to find a rare treasure, and then knock it a little, and then think that it has become a treasure. However, they don't know that this is just superficial work, and they only rely on the original nature of the treasured materials. What kind of ability is this? Is this also worthy of being called an expert in refining weapons? "
In the end, his tone was slightly disdainful.
At this moment, Wei Shudan also proudly said, "If you only have this kind of ability, what's the use of us? Any of our disciples can be qualified, and it seems that you can create something out of nothing and refine the treasured materials, making them far better than what they originally were. Just Now, we are showing our ability. "
Zhang Yan listened and nodded incessantly. If the two of them could really do this, they did indeed have the qualifications to say such words.
However, Wei Shudan and Liang Changgong had forgotten that the reason they were able to do this was because the two of them had extraordinary refining skills, but the refiners of other continents were not stupid. The reason they could not do this was not because of their own fault, but because they could not find enough precious materials. It was only because the Central Pillar Continent was rich that they could afford to spend so much money.
It was like the last layer of fine sand that they covered was the dust of the Stellar Heroes that had settled in the soil for tens of thousands of years. After combining with the Qi of the Earth, it turned into fine sand. As for the refining weapons of other continents, where could they find such good materials? They were all replaced by mud and stone, of course they could not be compared to them.
Only in this stage, what kind of treasured materials to put in, what time to put in, how many Yin Yang Flames to light, these were the skills that were passed down from generation to generation in the Central Pillar Continent. Outsiders had no way of knowing.
