The junior sister started to work from dawn to dusk every day to build the road. When she came back from the road construction every day, she would bring some spiritual plants from the mountains.

After Lin Jue informed his second senior brother and senior senior brother about planting the alchemy tree, he and the two of them took turns refining the spiritual plants brought back by the younger junior sister into spiritual fluid and sealed them in bottles for storage.

This process is also considered as practicing alchemy.

Originally, Lin Jue's attainments in this area were relatively shallow and he could only refine two or three bottles of spiritual liquid at a time. However, as he became more proficient in alchemy, the amount of spiritual liquid he could refine at the same time also increased.

You can also take this opportunity to make a flying sword.

Refining alchemy takes a long time, and when you are not proficient in alchemy, you are always nervous. It seems that you never have a free moment in the whole day. You are tense every moment, refining alchemy and refining yourself. However, after you become proficient in alchemy, you will have a lot of free time to use freely.

Well, most of the second senior brothers chose to burn incense and play the harp as music, and Lin Jue used it to melt the spiritual gold.

It just so happens that there is spiritual fire under the alchemy cauldron.

The spiritual gold gifted by the mountain god was a fragment of the ancient emperor's alchemy furnace. It was indeed not an ordinary product. Before Lin Jue felt how hard it was, he first felt how resistant it was to burning.

If it weren't for the preparation of spiritual liquid for the elixir fruit tree recently, the spiritual fire under the elixir cauldron would not go out day and night, and there was also the extremely hot spiritual fire of the second senior brother. It would be difficult for Lin Jue to melt it.

Even so, it would take almost three days and three nights to melt it.

After melting, it is divided into more than ten parts according to the size, and is quickly poured into the mold to make the initial shape. Before each forging, it takes another half a day to burn it red.

"Ding...ding..."

The clear sound of forging iron echoed in the mountains.

Lin Jue was forging in the yard.

My little fox lay lazily next to him. He was already used to the sound and what he was doing, and he didn't even look at him. But the cat in the distance couldn't stand it. He lay in the distance and squinted his eyes, listening to every tinkling sound.

I can't help but tremble, but I feel helpless about it.

At some point, Taoist Yunhe came to him.

The orange cat in the courtyard also came to him.

"Bang bang bang..."

The orange cat was really angry and couldn't discuss it with him, so it raised its paws and slapped his legs with cat punches.

Lin Jue stopped for a moment and looked down at it.

Wait for it to finish beating, then continue beating it.

"Ding, ding..."

"This doesn't look like a weapon made for bean soldiers." Taoist Yunhe said from behind.

When the bean soldiers were first made, the statues were almost half a hand high, and the spears used were almost as long as a hand. If they were long knives or long swords, they would be about the same length as a finger. After being refined, they would be of normal size.

But what Lin Jue was forging at this time was a small and graceful sword. The length was about less than two knuckles of the index finger. Although it had a handle, there was no hand guard. It looked like a sword, but also like a sword.

It's darts.

Taoist Yunhe has rich experience, so he can naturally see that this small sword is not suitable for human hands to hold and wield.

"I use this for myself."

Lin Jue forged it and burned it with spiritual fire to keep it warm. At the same time, he replied to Taoist Yunhe:

"I originally had six darts, which were very easy to use, but I lost two when I went down the mountain to fight with the bear demon. The remaining four are not so sharp after being used for a long time, and my long sword has also been curled.

.I happened to learn bean soldiers from my third senior brother, so I came up with the idea of ​​using the method of making bean soldiers to make weapons, and then refining them into beans to make them easier to carry and summon when needed."

He paused for a moment:

"I tried it some time ago when I was repairing the weapons of the bean soldiers, and it worked."

"Hehehe..."

Taoist Yunhe was not surprised, he just smiled and said: "Master also tinkered with this when he was young."

"Master has tried it too?" Lin Jue became interested, "How is it?"

"What's the matter? Don't you already know everything? This way is possible." Taoist Yunhe said, "It's just that my master is not good at fighting with swords, and he doesn't have the method of controlling objects. He made it with ordinary spiritual gold.

The weapons are similar to ordinary swords in the mountains. Later, when the Taoist practice became advanced, these swords and pellets were no longer needed, so they were all used by the bean soldiers."

"Ding ding ding..."

Lin Jue was still hammering hard and was silent for a while before speaking:

"I have."

After speaking, he received no response.

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, the old Taoist man beside him just smiled and said nothing.

The tinkling sound in the mountains continues to drift away.

The old Taoist finally spoke again:

"How many are you going to do?"

"This piece of spiritual gold given by the mountain god is enough for me to make twelve small swords, which can be used as dart daggers, and three long swords. I added spiritual wood as handles to make them look like normal long swords.

"

"Not bad, not bad..."

The old Taoist smiled, suddenly became interested, and rolled up his sleeves: "The old Taoist is here to help you too!"

"ah?"

"Don't worry, I still have strength!"

Then the jingling sounds in the mountains became two.

The production of bean soldiers is mainly divided into two types: carving and sacrificial refining. The former mainly tests craftsmanship, while the latter tests Taoism.

Although the process of making weapons has nothing to do with carving, it still belongs to carving, and the test is still craftsmanship. In terms of craftsmanship, from Lin Jue's point of view, his master may not necessarily be able to beat his third senior brother.

Of course he is much more powerful than himself.

The master's most powerful thing is Tao Xing, and Tao Xing determines the effect of the sacrifice, which directly determines the strength of the bean soldiers. However, it is not used at this time. What is used is the master's fire spell - the old man can just point a finger.

It's a flame that's close to real fire. I'm afraid most of the fairies and ghosts will be knocked out of their wits if they get a little bit of it.

Under such fierce flames, the spiritual gold is always red and shiny, making it much easier to forge.

The master even took over the three small swords that Lin Jue had prepared for sacrifice and weighed them carefully, but only put one of them back.

"This one is fine. The details of these two are different and need to be adjusted." Taoist Yunhe said. "It should be noted that making weapons using this method is more difficult than forging swords with the blacksmith at the foot of the mountain. What's more, as long as there are slight differences, the summoned

When it gets bigger, it becomes a bigger difference, so you have to be more careful.”

"yes."

How could Lin Jue not know this?

It’s not that the craftsmanship is not enough.

"Most of the well-known sword shops in the rivers and lakes under the mountain are named after water, such as Longquan Tangxi. From this, we can see that water has a great influence on the quality of swords." Taoist Yunhe said while fighting, "The weapons of Dou soldiers

You must first sacrifice and refine it before summoning the blade. You must know this. However, after the blade is quenched, the water in the fragrant sand well on the top of the lotus is the best in this mountain, followed by the cinnabar spring.

.”

"Third Senior Brother also told me this."

"Then he's quite reliable!"

Taoist Yunhe smiled and said to him again:

"The way of bean soldiers lies in refinement. The reason why ordinary gold and iron cannot be used for bean soldiers' weapons is not only that ordinary gold and iron cannot be refined, but also because the quality of ordinary gold and iron is not enough. If you use a small knife as long as your finger, it will be small.

The sword turned into an ordinary-sized sword and was even more unusable, so only spiritual gold could be used.

"Although spiritual gold is used, after it is summoned and enlarged, it can only be as hard as an ordinary sword, or even worse. It needs to be sacrificed to strengthen it.

“Therefore, the golden spirit is the best weapon for bean soldiers.

"Although the spiritual gold given to you by the mountain god is good, if you can find gold essence in the future, melt it again, add gold essence into it, and fight it again, you can use it as a magic weapon."

Lin Jue silently wrote it down but asked again:

"What is gold essence?"

"It's the essence of the Five Elements, like the earth and wood essence you got before." Taoist Yunhe replied, "Just like the aura can be divided into rich and shallow, the gold essence also has three grades: upper, middle and lower. The higher the grade, the more essence.

.”

"How to find it?"

"This is like the elixir in the mountains. In the world and due to fate, it can only be encountered but cannot be sought."

"That's it..."

When Lin Jue thought of this, he couldn't help but think of how many bean soldiers his master had made over the years, and how powerful the bean soldiers he had been training for his whole life must be.

Immediately there was another curiosity:

"Master, the masters of all generations also practiced the method of bean soldiers, but what about their bean soldiers?"
To be continued...
