Chapter 661

FD, see after 3:30)

Time flies.

In the twinkling of an eye, Zhou Yang has been in charge of Haoyang Grottoes for three years.

In the past three years, he basically didn't leave Haoyang grottoes. In addition to his daily practice, he either studied the inheritance of refining tools obtained from the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, or accompanied his mother Lin Yuting to experience ordinary people's life in mortal cities.

Lin Yuting is only a few years younger than Zhou Xuanhao. After Zhou Xuanhao built the foundation, it is impossible for the couple to grow old together. Therefore, in the last ten or twenty years of her life, she did not choose to stay with her husband on the Baisha River Oasis, but came to Haoyang cave to accompany Zhou Yang, the only son.

Zhou Yang actually understood his mother Lin Yuting's idea. He knew that his mother Lin Yuting came to accompany him. In addition to making up for the separation between mother and son in the past 20 or 30 years, he also didn't want his middle-aged husband to see him grow old with his own eyes.

It's not that he didn't fantasize about helping his mother Lin Yuting enter the foundation period, but it's a pity that every time he had this fantasy, he was shattered by the bloody facts.

Not to mention that Lin Yuting is now nearly 100 years old and only practices eight levels of Qi cultivation, it is said that her soft and weak will may not be able to break through the "divine knowledge level".

If Zhou Xuanyu was his adoptive mother, Zhou Yang would not worry about this at all.

It's not impossible to change a person's will, but Lin Yuting obviously has no time to do this. Moreover, Zhou Yang can't get the second foundation pill at all.

So what he can do is to accompany his mother for the next ten or twenty years, accompany her through the last time of her life, and don't let her leave any regrets.

This day, Zhou Yang was accompanying his mother Lin Yuting to help Bagu Zhou Xuanyan build an oasis over the oasis. Suddenly, he received a note for help from the red flame iron vein.

After reading the notes, his face sank first, and then soon returned to normal.

He smiled on his face, nodded slightly to his mother Lin Yuting and eight aunt Zhou Xuanyan and said, "it's no big deal, but several blind monsters broke into the mine and hurt people. I'll deal with it and come back."

The facts are certainly not as simple as he said.

If it were just an ordinary monster that broke into the mine and hurt people, it would have been destroyed by Zhou Xuanying, the thirteen aunt who was in charge there.

You know, as the red flame iron vein is put into mining, the net income generated by this vein to the Zhou family every year has reached 700 Lingshi, and the number is still growing every year. It is expected that the annual income will eventually stabilize at 1500 Lingshi.

Seeing that the benefits of this vein were so obvious, Zhou Yang sent Zhou Xuanying, the thirteen Gu who trained in seven layers of Qi, to the nearby side of the mine to protect the miners under the condition that he had his own spiritual vein in Haoyang cave.

Now even Zhou Xuanying, who practices Qi on the seventh floor, needs to send notes to him for help. It can be seen that the strength of the monster in the mine must be no worse than the second-class monster "golden rat" he met in the refined iron vein.

"It's a second-class monster [flame eating spider], and the number is at least five. When those miners were digging, they accidentally dug above these animals' nests. As a result, twenty or thirty miners were dragged away by them wrapped in spider silk. Now I've temporarily closed the mine, waiting for the clan leader to deal with it."

Seeing that Zhou Yang's foot stepped on the flying sword and fell, Zhou Xuanying, who sent out a note for help from the mine cave, hurriedly came to report the situation to him.

When Zhou Yang heard the word "swallow flame spider" on his face, he raised his eyebrows and flashed a clear color in his eyes.

"Flame eating spider" is just like its name. It likes to devour the spirit of fire and fire. Therefore, it often haunts in the hot places of volcanoes. As a spirit of fire, it is normal for red flame iron to appear under its veins.

Spiders are best at hiding themselves. "Flame eating spiders" hide under tens of meters deep mineral veins. Even friars like Zhou Yang scan the earth below with divine consciousness during the foundation period, it is difficult to find them sleeping with convergent breath.

He nodded with a clear face and said solemnly, "I have understood the situation. Aunt thirteen, you did a good job. Now you continue to be responsible for evacuating and comforting the frightened miners. I'll go down and see the situation myself and decide what to do."

Then he released his flying sword and broke the entrance of the mine sealed by Zhou Xuanying with a broken dragon stone. He moved and directly entered the mine.

Zhou Yang's divine sense is so powerful. The cave on the side of the red flame iron vein has been newly excavated for only a few years, and the tunnel is still shallow. As soon as he entered the cave, he swept his divine sense and found the place where the "flame eating spider" killed the miners.

However, his unscrupulous divine sense fluctuation also alerted the "flame eating spiders" hiding underground. After these underground killers sensed his powerful divine sense fluctuation, they immediately burst out their whole body breath and issued a warning to him.

There are eight "flame eating spiders", each as big as a calf, with a bright red carapace. The compound eyes of the eight fists are full of ferocious and violent colors. Even after sensing the breath of friar Zhou Yang during the foundation period, they don't have any fear, but release strong hostility and warn him.

"Get out!"

Zhou Yang gave a scold, and his divine sense suddenly pressed. In an instant, he crushed all the ferocious and violent will of the "flame eating spiders" into pieces.

Squeak squeak——

A sharp scream full of anger sounded from the deep part of the tunnel. The "flame eating spiders" were angered by Zhou Yang's attitude and took the initiative to drill out of their nests and appear in the tunnel.

"Hum, it's said that insect monsters have the lowest intelligence among monsters. It's true to see them today. They are only second-class top-grade monsters. They dare to take the initiative to attack friars Zhuji. They really don't know how to live or die!"

Zhou Yang gave a cold hum and disdained the "flame eating spiders" for their overestimation.

As soon as he pinched the sword formula in his hand, the divine knowledge led him. The third-order inferior flying sword "chixuan gold lightsaber" cut off the rising "flame eating spiders" with the brilliant sword light.

When the sword light hit, the "flame eating spiders" certainly wouldn't lead their necks to be killed. They opened their mouths and spit out spider silk to shoot at the sword light in an attempt to stop the sword light.

The silk of "flame eating spider" is reddish red, harder than refined iron and full of toughness. The easy second-order flying sword is wrapped by this silk and will soon be wrapped around and lose contact with the monk.

Moreover, because "flame eating spider" likes to eat spirit objects with fire and fire attributes, its spider silk is not afraid of fire as other spider silk and silk, and even weakens its spell power when resisting fire spell attacks.

In the fairy world, a robe made of "flame eating spider" spider silk is more expensive than ordinary second-order middle-class magic tools, and it is very popular.

However, these "flame eating spiders" are obviously miscalculated today.

Under the bright red and golden sword light of Zhou Yang, the cobwebs they shot out were crushed into annihilation powder on the spot like snow in the mountains.

The sword light bypassed several "flame eating spiders", but it did not kill any monster, but cut off half of their spider legs, making them temporarily lose their ability to move.

When the remaining "flame eating spiders" saw this behind the scenes, they were shocked and angry. The eyes of the eight fists under their abdomen were full of fear and anger. They looked at Zhou Yang and screamed more than once. Their bodies involuntarily retreated towards the coming direction.

No matter how low their wisdom is, they already know behind the scenes that the creature with two legs walking upright is the existence they can't provoke.

The animal instinct tells them that only by staying away from the upright creature can they save their lives.

"Want to run now? Don't you think it's too late? "

Zhou Yang smiled coldly and was not ready to let go of the remaining "flame eating spiders".

The sword Jue in his hand was drawn, and the "red Xuan gold lightsaber" turned into a red gold sword light again, chasing and killing the remaining "flame eating spiders".

These "flame eating spiders" are very agile in the mine. They can move several tens of feet with eight legs. They can't be caught up by humans at all.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast they run, they can't run faster than Zhou Yang's flying sword.

Zhou Yang knew the sword. When the sword light flashed, all the escaped "flame eating spiders" followed their companions' footsteps. He cut off half of the spiders' legs and collapsed in the mine.

"If you dare to eat the people of my Zhou family, you should have killed them all. However, it would be too cheap for you to kill you in this way. You'd better save your life and let you spin silk for my Zhou family all your life to make atonement!"

In the mine, Zhou Yang took back his flying sword and looked at the "flame eating spider" struggling and hissing all over the ground. A cold color flashed in his eyes.

As he said, if he had not taken a fancy to the role of the spider silk spit by the "flame eating spider", he would never have mercy on these animals for eating people.

These "flame eating spiders" are adult demons, which can no longer be domesticated and kept in captivity. Now he keeps these animals alive, but he wants to squeeze their residual value. When these animals can no longer spin silk, they will die.

At the same time, there are two spirit animal rooms in Haoyang Grottoes that have not been put into use. The eight "flame eating spiders" here can just be divided into two batches and detained in captivity. There is the suppression of the third-order inferior array "earth guarding golden dagger array". Even if he leaves Haoyang Grottoes in the future, he is not afraid that these animals will go against the sky.

Spider monsters have extremely strong vitality and almost all have the ability to regenerate broken limbs. Zhou Yang is not worried that several "flame eating spiders" will die because of their broken legs. He also has the intention to punish these human eating animals. Instead of beating them unconscious and healing them immediately, he uses "earth hiding" to bypass these animals and escape into their nests.

Not expected by Zhou Yang, in addition to the remaining monster bones eaten before, there were also the bodies of Zhou family miners swept away by them. Most of these miners' bodies were wrapped by spider silk and hung on the cave wall. Only four or five bodies were eaten, leaving only bones and clothes on the ground.

He looked at those hanging corpses. After a moment of silence, he waved his big sleeve, released his flying sword, cut the silk bag, put all the shriveled corpses out and fell to the ground, and then packed all the "flame eating spider" silk in the nest into the storage bag. These are good materials for refining utensils.

Suddenly, Zhou Yang looked happy, as if he had found something good, and hurriedly strode to a corner of the nest.

I saw a group of red spider silk in the corner. On top of it, there were more than a dozen fist sized spider silk egg bags. Each egg bag contained a White Spider Egg the size of an egg.

The discovery of "flame eating spider" non hatched spider eggs is a big harvest.

Those adult "flame eating spiders" who have eaten people are wild and difficult to tame. Later, when they are old, they can't spit out silk, or they can't stand imprisonment and commit suicide. The end waiting for them is to kill spiders and take silk, which is refined into magic tools, which belongs to one hammer trading.

However, if the "flame eating spider" can be domesticated since childhood, it is very likely to domesticate this monster into a domestic spirit beast. In that way, the Zhou family will have a stable way to sell spider silk in the future, and the family background will be strengthened again.

Moreover, the "flame eating spider" can not only spit out spider silk to sell money, but also its own combat effectiveness is not weak. It can also be used as family combat effectiveness at critical moments.

Although it was easy for Zhou Yang to clean up the eight "flame eating spiders", he thought that the combat effectiveness of this monster was very good. In fact, it was completely the effect of his cultivation and magic tools.

If a friar in the Qi training period, even in the ninth floor of Qi training, meets such eight second-class top-grade monsters, if he can escape, he will burn Gaoxiang.

As a second-class monster, "flame eating spider" is more than a means of spraying spider silk. Their fangs contain terrible fire poison. After injected into the organism, they can quickly dehydrate the organism and die. Their eight spider legs up to 45 feet can also be used as short spears, which are as powerful as second-class flying swords.

During the Qi training period, friars met "flame eating spiders" in the narrow space of underground caves. It's good to be invincible one-on-one. In the face of eight "flame eating spiders", even a standard five person adventure team can only escape.

The domestication of monsters has to be done by professionals. After the death of old Zhou Quan, the Zhou family has no second-class animal trainer, and only one Zhou Xuanzhao is a first-class animal trainer.

Zhou Yang carefully wrapped more than a dozen spider eggs with spider silk and hung them around his waist. When he was ready to go back, he handed them to 17th uncle Zhou Xuanzhao for treatment. Maybe the chance for 17th uncle to be promoted to second-class animal trainer fell on these "flame eating spiders".

After collecting the spider eggs, Zhou Yang returned to the mine tunnel and knocked out all the adult "flame eating spiders" whose legs were cut off by themselves with violence. Then he tied up the eight "flame eating spiders" with their own spitting silk and dragged them out of the mine.

Out of the cave, Zhou Yang and thirteen aunt Zhou Xuanying explained the situation and asked her to organize the miners to clean up the bodies of the miners killed by the "flame eating spider". She found dozens of camels to hang on the sand sledge, and pulled eight "flame eating spiders" back to Haoyang cave with the sand sledge.

Back to the Hao Yang cave, Zhou Yang directly threw eight "phagocytoses" into two batches into the remaining two animals, and threw more than a dozen pieces of "Jingyuan Dan" which were made from the blood of the monster.

Although he doesn't know how to train animals, he also knows that this kind of monster just caught doesn't want to communicate with them at all. He can only consider the subsequent silk taking after closing it for a year and a half.

Before that, in order to prevent these monsters from hurting people, he could only do the feeding of these monsters himself.

Next, he flew back to Yuquan Lake oasis, handed over the spider eggs of "flame eating spider" to 17th uncle Zhou Xuanzhao, and consulted the old patriarch Zhou Minghan about some problems encountered in refining tools.

It's very difficult for Zhou Yang to make a breakthrough from a second-order top-grade craftsman to a third-order craftsman. Zhou Yang's success rate in refining second-order top-grade magic tools has exceeded 50%, but he is still not sure about refining third-order magic tools.

The spirit objects that refine the third-order magic tools are valuable. Each one is worth at least one second-order top-grade magic tool. He doesn't dare to refine the third-order magic tools easily without much assurance.

At the first and second stages of the introduction, you can also use materials to accumulate and cultivate the hundred skills of cultivating immortals. However, at the third and fourth stages, it is a large gate with golden elixir like the Huangsha gate, which dare not be so extravagant to forcibly cultivate.

Therefore, the more you go to the back, the more you value talent. People with poor talent can't make great achievements in this field.

"You don't have to worry. At your age, it's only a matter of time before you become a third-order tool refiner. From my experience, you might as well try more self-made magic tools. If you can create a method of making magic tools, even if it's only a first-order magic tool, it will be very helpful to break through the third-order tool refiner."

At the top of Yuquan peak, under the "dragon scale tree", Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan sat under the tree to cook tea and talk about Tao, sharing their experience of refining utensils with each other.

"Self created magic weapon? Doesn't it mean that the fourth level weapon refiner has to break through to the fifth level before he starts to learn his own magic tools? Can I create my own magic instrument now? "

Zhou Yang's face moved. He looked at the old patriarch with some uncertainty and muttered. His face was full of self-confidence.

The self created magic weapon is simple to say, but it is not generally difficult to take action. The weapon smelter is not a blacksmith in the world. He can say that he has created a new weapon by making a strange weapon.

For the weapon refiner, the shape of the magic weapon is not important. What matters is the legal prohibition in the magic weapon. Only when the legal prohibition can be successfully inserted into the magic weapon and formed, can the magic weapon be regarded as a magic weapon.

For example, when Zhou Yang refined the first-order magic weapon "green blade", he could only enter the "sharp edge" law ban. If he directly entered the "flame" law ban, 10% of the sword embryo might burst on the spot.

If he can successfully break the "flame" method into the sword embryo and make the sword embryo successfully condensed into a "flame sword" that can release fire to hurt the enemy, it is the success of his own magic tool.

However, it is not easy to do this step!

The sword embryo of "green edge sword" was originally the shape most suitable for arranging the "sharp edge" law ban after countless tests by the senior weapon refiners. A millimetre short or a millimetre wide may lead to the failure of the law ban, let alone the "flame" law ban which is completely different from the "sharp edge" law ban.

Therefore, there is only one way for those who want to create their own magic tools, that is to burn money! Keep burning money!

Only after repeated failures and modifications can it be possible to ban the "flame" law, successfully break into the sword embryo of the "green blade sword" and refine a "flame sword".

But do you think it's a self-made magic weapon that succeeded?

no

This is just the beginning!

A success does not mean success, it may also be luck.

Only repeated success can be said to be true success.

Therefore, after Zhou Yang successfully refined a "flame sword", he still has two big steps to take. The first big step is to increase the success rate of refining "flame sword" to 10%.

The second step is to record the refining method of "flame sword" and teach it to other refiners. Only after other refiners successfully refine "flame sword" according to their own refining method can they be regarded as real success.

If he can do this, it will be regarded as a real self-made magic tool.

If he can create his own magic weapon successfully, he can get the legendary "heavenly family" and enter the state of epiphany.

It should be noted that the tools created by the smelter do not need to be unique.

Taking Zhou Yang as an example, as long as he has not studied the refining method of "flame sword" left by his predecessors and has not been in contact with relevant materials, he can also enter the state of Epiphany after independently exploring and creating "flame sword" and summarizing its refining method.

Once he enters the Epiphany state, his understanding and cognition of weapon refining will be greatly improved. At that time, it is basically a certainty to break through the third-order weapon refiner.

However, Tiandao Zhigong, a tool refiner, can only enter the Epiphany state because he has created a first-order magic instrument for the first time in his life. If he wants to get the "heavenly attachment" into the Epiphany state again by relying on his own magic instrument, he needs to create a second-order magic instrument.

Those fourth-order weapon refiners who attack the fifth-order weapon refiners generally need to create their own second-order magic tools and experience two epiphanies before they can be sure of success.

It is precisely because the self-made magic instrument is so difficult and Zhou Yang, who knows the difficulty, is so unsure at this moment.

Facing the doubt of Zhou Yang's self-confidence, Zhou Minghan smiled and said: "the fourth level weapon refiner broke through the fifth level weapon refiner to create their own magic tools, because the fifth level magic tools have a complex structure and involve the mystery of the transformation of spirit and flesh. They are not the kind of weapon refiners with extreme talent, which is difficult to understand, so they must help themselves understand with the help of heaven."

"Now you create your own magic tools. Whether you succeed or not, you can accumulate experience. Maybe you can break through the current bottleneck of refining tools by analogy."

"At the beginning, I broke through the third-order tool refiner. When I was studying and repairing a magic weapon refined by other tool refiners, I suddenly realized that I was successful."

"I see. My grandson knows what to do." Zhou Yang nodded suddenly, and a light flashed in his eyes.

The old clan leader Zhou Minghan has pointed out the way. Whether he can get through the way depends on his own understanding.

As the saying goes: the master leads you to the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual.

Of course, having a good master can make the apprentice take fewer detours, but whether he can reach the end of the road and how far he can go on the road depends on the apprentice's own savvy and talent.
