Chapter 365
Small Struggle Peak.
Inside cave dwelling number 281.
Ning Zhuo held a small hammer, striking the White-Faced Steel again and again.
This metal material is very hard, and its surface presents a white color under the light.
While striking, Ning Zhuo performed artifact refining techniques, with his magic power continuously permeating the metal, making the White-Faced Steel become softer, facilitating striking and deformation.
After the striking was finished, Ning Zhuo controlled it with his spiritual sense, and three or five mechanical floating hands stretched out their palms, aiming them at the White-Faced Steel.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Five streams of flames sprayed onto the White-Faced Steel, making it turn red and quickly soften.
Runes, as small as fingertips and flashing with silver-gray, appeared and disappeared within the White-Faced Steel.
Ning Zhuo channeled his magic power, striking a scripture into the White-Faced Steel, successfully turning it into a restriction.
He mobilized the Floating Ice White Jade Hand.
The White Jade Hand mechanism slowly flew above the White-Faced Steel, and the other five mechanical floating hands stopped spraying flames and retreated to the surroundings together.
The Floating Ice White Jade Hand's slender fingers pinched finger seals, emitting streams of icy mist.
The mist was quite fine, causing the White-Faced Steel to slowly cool down.
If an ordinary cooling method were used, the White-Faced Steel would crack rapidly on the surface when suddenly plunged into cold water, forming countless fissures. If this happened, it would have to be re-smelted.
The White-Faced Steel cooled down completely, floating in mid-air, presenting a rectangular strip shape, very flat.
Ning Zhuo took out the Tea Copper.
Three mechanical floating hands flew over, emitting an invisible lifting force, holding the Tea Copper in mid-air.
Subsequently, the palms of the mechanical floating hands burst into flames again, scorching the Tea Copper.
The Tea Copper slowly melted, turning into a pool of copper water.
Ning Zhuo channeled his artifact refining technique to remove impurities from the copper water, purifying the copper.
After completing this step, he used his spiritual sense to directly shape the copper water.
He gradually shaped the Tea Copper water into a straight line.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Tea Copper had not completely cooled, Ning Zhuo immediately took the previous White-Faced Steel and wrapped the Tea Copper around it, clamping it together at the front and back.
Finally, he continued to perform the technique, covering the Tea Copper with the restriction.
"Another Vajra Mirror." After checking it, Ning Zhuo satisfiedly put it into his storage belt.
The refining technique for the Vajra Mirror came from the Dharma-Transmitting Bell, the Mirror Platform Psychic Technique of the Three Sects' Superior stage for Foundation Establishment.
The practice of the Mirror Platform Psychic Technique requires the assistance of external objects. The specific content includes the manufacturing methods of eight types of mirror-type magic artifacts. The Vajra Mirror is one of them.
When at Mount Wuyin, Ning Zhuo had competed in spiritual sense with Sun Lingtong and failed.
The gap between the two sides was still very large.
Ning Zhuo also told Sun Lingtong the truth—he needed mechanical creations to assist him to exert the power of the Mirror Platform Psychic Technique and expand his spiritual sense range significantly.
During the Mount Wuyin stage, besides running around, Ning Zhuo was pondering the refining methods of these magic mirrors.
After pondering, he found that the refining method for the Vajra Mirror was relatively simple, the steps were easy, and the selected materials were the easiest to obtain.
Therefore, after arriving at the Small Struggle Peak, he had time and set about refining the Vajra Mirror.
This was already the third Vajra Mirror he had refined.
"The Vajra Mirror is fine; it has no requirements for the refining environment. But for the subsequent mirrors, relying solely on my manual refining won't work."
Ning Zhuo needs a furnace for artifact refining.
Although the refining cabin in the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon can be used, it consumes too much and is completely overkill.
Ning Zhuo also does not want to rent an external artifact refining room.
In an unfamiliar place, he is not very at ease.
Don't think that because the Myriad Medicine Sect is a large sect with a good reputation, it is composed of people.
Since they are people, they all conform to human nature.
Sect members in positions of authority are actually the most likely to bully foreign cultivators like Ning Zhuo.
This can be seen from the sect member responsible for arranging the cave dwelling. The sect member never went soft on accepting bribes.
This in itself is a kind of bullying from the local bullies!
External artifact refining rooms might leak the content of the refining.
In the Lava Immortal Palace, although the Dharma-Transmitting Bell rang throughout the venue, only Ning Zhuo obtained the Three Sects' Superior Dharma at the Foundation Establishment level.
Before Meng Kui cracked the Dharma-Transmitting Bell, only Ning Zhuo mastered these techniques, so he would try his best to keep them secret!
Ning Zhuo did not indulge in artifact refining.
Once the refining came to an end, he began his daily practice.
The Three Sects' Superior Dharma of Buddha, Dao, and Demon alternated, allowing Ning Zhuo's cultivation base to advance steadily.
Currently, the speed of Ning Zhuo's cultivation base improvement is still considerable.
On one hand, he has talent, and his comprehension is also good. On the other hand, he never skimps on investing resources in his own practice.
Even in the cave dwelling, Ning Zhuo would add many extra spirit stones to help himself maintain the concentration of spiritual energy at all times during the practice process.
Halfway through Ning Zhuo's practice, the mechanical bird suddenly began to chirp.
Ning Zhuo knew the time had come, so he opened a gap in the cave dwelling's formation and let Sun Lingtong in.
In the few days since entering the cave, Sun Lingtong went out every day, either hiding his tracks or disguising himself, constantly collecting intelligence from various places.
Because these intelligence reports were collected personally, they were much more detailed and credible than those purchased.
It is precisely because of such intelligence that the two, Sun and Ning, have had a deeper understanding of the Myriad Medicine Valley in the past few days.
The Myriad Medicine Valley is surrounded by mountains on all four sides, with a valley in the middle.
At that time, the situation would evolve into an all-out confrontation between the Zhu and Meng families. Even if the Zhu family won, they would likely suffer a great loss of vitality. And the intense process of the struggle would allow other noble clans to profit from it.
The Herb Field Mountain is almost entirely terraced fields, and different medicinal herbs are planted on each layer of terraces. It can be said that medicinal herbs are everywhere.
A large number of foreign cultivators live on the Small Struggle Peak, and they all have their own requests for coming here.
There is a Myriad Demon Cave on the Great Struggle Peak, where many great battles have taken place, staining the green mountains with blood. But now, there has been no demon infestation for many years.
The final Original Mountain is not a mountain that the Myriad Medicine Valley once had, but was moved from other places along with the relocation of the Myriad Medicine Sect.
The one who moved this mountain was the Mountain God of the Original Mountain, whose strength is very strong! Through talent and practice, he reached the level of moving mountains. However, because he used too much power, after moving it here, the Mountain God often fell into a deep sleep and rarely responded to the calls of believers.
The reason why the Myriad Medicine Sect spared no cost to relocate the entire sect here is that the Myriad Medicine Valley is uniquely endowed with abundant spiritual energy.
Beneath it, there is a wide underground river.
This large underground river contains rich spiritual energy and belongs to a water-element spiritual vein.
The spring water in the Myriad Medicine Valley is also spiritual spring water. The reason why the Myriad Medicine Sect produces a huge amount of medicinal herbs is precisely because of the full irrigation of the spiritual spring water.
Therefore, the Original Mountain belongs to the mountain gate of the Myriad Medicine Sect, where various palaces, corridors, pavilions, and other buildings stand, and it is the gathering place for the Myriad Medicine Sect's cultivators.
The defense here is the most rigorous.
The Great Struggle Peak has the weakest defense because too many wars have occurred there, and almost every inch of mountain soil has been soaked in the blood of demon cultivators and human cultivators. Therefore, the Great Struggle Peak belongs to an acquired sinister place, with too much killing energy, making it unsuitable for planting medicinal herbs.
The Small Struggle Peak is the place where the Myriad Medicine Sect specifically arranges for foreign cultivators. These cultivators are naturally a mixed bag, each with their own schemes.
The central valley surrounded by the four mountains is the Myriad Medicine Valley.
The terrain in the valley is flat, the soil is fertile, and there are as many spiritual springs as stars, which intersect with each other to form channels of spiritual springs.
The Six-Harmony Longevity Array is set up here, where the most valuable and rare medicinal herbs of the Myriad Medicine Sect are planted.
In comparison, the medicinal herbs on the Herb Field Mountain are mainly for quantity, providing commercial goods for external sales.
