On the third day after Zhou Yuan settled down in Fangshi, Li Yuan went to see him with a few pieces of Fire Fiend Stone.
Zhou Yuan's residence is in a small stone house on the east side of the expansion area. There is a simple Refining Furnace and several rows of material racks in the house. There are already a lot of ores and metal blanks purchased from Fangshi shops piled on the racks.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, help me look at these." Li Yuan took two pieces each from Fire Fiend Stone and Purple Fiend Stone and put them on the table.
Zhou Yuan put down what he was doing, walked over, picked up a piece of Purple Fiend Stone, turned it over, and then used his spiritual consciousness to probe inside.
"The ratio of Fiend Qi to spiritual power is okay, and the structure is relatively stable." He put down Purple Fiend Stone, "It can be used with Artifact Refining Dao, but I don't need much, and I don't know much about Artifact Refining Dao's techniques in this area."
"And I have relatively high quality requirements. Purple Fiend Stone of this quality is barely enough."
He picked up another piece of Fire Fiend Stone and looked at it.
His brows furrowed slightly.
"This one is a bit off."
"What's the difference?"
"The fusion of Fire-Attribute Spirit Qi and Fiend Qi is a bit poor. I am not able to reconcile and fuse them myself." Zhou Yuan raised Fire Fiend Stone in front of his eyes.
"To what extent does it need to be integrated before it can be used?"
"At least there should be no interface inside. Fire-Attribute Spirit Qi and Fiend Qi should penetrate evenly, and no obvious Splitting can be seen." Zhou Yuan put Fire Fiend Stone back on the table. "Just improve the quality by one level."
Li Yuan put Fire Fiend Stone back into the storage bag and returned to the stone house.
The quality of Fire Fiend Stone naturally condensed by Mineral Vein Dao is limited by the fusion speed of the seepage channel, and it is difficult to improve it in a short time. However, the experience of rubbing Purple Fiend Stone by hand can be used on Fire Fiend Stone.
Li Yuan took out a piece of medium quality Fire-Attribute Spirit Ore from the storage bag and placed it on the table.
Pull out a wisp of Fiend Qi from your left hand, and pull out a wisp of Fire-Attribute Spirit Qi from your right hand.
The two forces merged in the palm of the hand. Fiend Spirit Resonance allowed Fiend Qi and the spiritual power to not immediately reject and separate after leaving the body. Fiend Spirit Conversion allowed the two to further merge, forming a mixed force of half Fusion State.
Li Yuan uses Micro-Spirit Control Art to slowly press the force into the surface of the ore.
The same technique as before when rubbing Purple Fiend Stone by hand, but this time what is pressed in is not a mixture of pure Fiend Qi and spiritual power, but a mixture of Fiend Qi and Fire-Attribute Spirit Qi.
The surface of the ore trembled slightly, and the internal Fire-Attribute Spirit Qi structure began to be squeezed and reorganized by the external mixing force.
Li Yuan continued to output for about two quarters of an hour.
In the meantime, he constantly adjusted the ratio of Fiend Qi and Fire-Attribute Spirit Qi, trying to make the two penetrate more evenly inside the ore. Every adjustment required extremely fine spiritual control, and the level of Micro-Spirit Control Art Mastery was brought to the extreme here.
After stopping, Li Yuan picked up the piece of ore and looked at it.
The color has changed from the original dark red to a purplish deep red, which is more uniform in color than the Fire Fiend Stone naturally produced by Mineral Vein Dao. With spiritual awareness, the distribution of Fire-Attribute Spirit Qi and Fiend Qi is indeed more integrated than that produced naturally. The interface mentioned by Zhou Yuan has been blurred a lot, but it is still vaguely visible.
It's better than what's produced naturally, but it's not up to the quality required by Zhou Yuan.
Li Yuan Put this piece aside Fire Fiend Stone and continue trying the second piece.
[Fiend Spirit Conversion Method: Mastery(0/800)]
From Proficiency to Mastery.
Li Yuan picked up an ordinary Fire-Attribute Spirit Ore on the table, drew a wisp of passing Fiend Qi and pressed it into it.
The Fire-Attribute Spirit Qi structure inside the ore has almost no resistance, and Fiend Qi smoothly penetrates into every Spiritual Power Pattern, integrating with Fire-Attribute Spirit Qi.
It is more than twice as deep as the previous fusion depth of Mastery.
After Li Yuan stopped, he probed into the ore with his spiritual consciousness, and the internal interface completely disappeared. Fire-Attribute Spirit Qi and Fiend Qi were evenly distributed in every corner of the ore, and no Splitting could be seen.
The quality is enough.
Do it again after Mastery. Li Yuan Take out a new piece of Fire-Attribute Spirit Ore and rub it by hand again.
This time it only took a quarter of an hour, and the quality of the Fire Fiend Stone produced was higher than any previous one.
After collecting these batches of hand rubs Fire Fiend Stone, Li Yuan was about to continue practicing, when Management Office sent a notice.
The sixth Foundation Establishment Trading Fair will be held in Yunyang Marketplace three days later.
Three days later, Li Yuan arrived at Yunyang Marketplace.
The scale of Trading Fair is larger than last time. The venue has been expanded from the original one Stone Tower to two, and there are more Foundation Establishment monks participating, many of whom are faces who escaped from Yun Province.
The atmosphere in the venue was different from before.
In the past, the most talked about on Trading Fair was the sale of Cultivation Method, Medicinal Pill and materials. Not long after the opening this time, the topic turned to the frontline war.
"Fiend Demon Sect has captured all Qishui Sect's strongholds in the east of Yun Province."
A Foundation Establishment Middle Stage monk wearing a brown robe leaned on the back of his chair and said, "In the last battle last month, Qishui Sect invested six Foundation Establishment Late Stage, but he still couldn't hold on."
"It's not just the east." A person next to him answered, "The west is also retreating. Fiend Demon Sect's people have pushed to the junction of Yun Province and Liang Province. The forward troops are less than 300 miles away from Liang Province's nearest city."
"What about the Qishui Sect?"
"What else can I do, shrink to Liang Province."
Several people were silent for a while.
Another monk lowered his voice and spoke.
"Did you notice one thing? From beginning to end, none of Golden Core Cultivator ended up."
"Both sides are fine."
"Yes. Both sides were fighting Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core Cultivator never moved. The fight lasted for so long, and Foundation Establishment died batch after batch, but Jin Dan never took action. Isn't this normal?"
"There's something abnormal."
The monk in brown robe sneered, "If Golden Core Cultivator ends up dead, the price will be too high. If he doesn't end up, even if the sect is destroyed, Jindan Rogue Cultivator himself will be fine, and the opponent will not specifically hunt down a Jindan Rogue Cultivator, which is meaningless. It's just that after the sect is gone, the cultivation resources will be much less."
"How many golden elixirs does Qishui Sect have?" someone suddenly asked.
"Four."
"Where is Fiend Demon Sect?"
"Five."
"Isn't that right? Fiend Demon Sect is much stronger, so why are the numbers of golden elixirs the same?"
The monk in brown robe coughed and continued.
"Do you really think those Fiend Demon Sect Devil Cultivator golden elixirs are willing to share their profits with the emergence of new golden elixirs in their sect?"
"Only when new combat power is needed, will we be willing to cultivate new golden elixirs."
"With one more golden elixir, we can negotiate more terms with the Qishui Sect."
No one picked it up anymore.
Li Yuan sat in the corner, listened briefly to the information, and then turned his attention back to Trading Fair himself.
In the middle of the transaction, a familiar figure came over.
Short-bearded monk.
"Fellow Daoist Li." The short-bearded monk sat down across from him and said directly without saying anything, "I have something I want to exchange with you."
"What?"
"I have already developed 1,900 acres Spirit Field, manpower Array and so on, and I will give it to you for free."
The short-bearded monk said, "In addition, there is another spell, Soil Cultivation Art. It is specially used for Cultivation Method Spirit Field. It works very well when used with Spirit Field."
"What do you want?"
"Help me capture a Second-Order Monster Beast alive near Fangshi." The short-bearded monk raised a finger, "It's alive. There is no limit on attributes, but it cannot be evil."
Li Yuan looked at him.
"Capturing Second-Order Monster Beast alive is no small matter."
The short-bearded monk said, "If you don't care about the grade, Lower Second-Order will do. I'll add one thousand Spirit Stone."
One thousand nine hundred acres Spirit Field.
Li Yuan The current Spirit Field scale is far from enough to support the subsequent Medicinal Pill material demand. The larger the Spirit Field area, the more self-produced spirit medicine The higher the proportion of, the less dependent it is on the external supply chain. At a time when Traveling Merchant is in sharp decline and materials are not flowing smoothly, the value of Spirit Field is greater than ever.
Soil Cultivation Art is also useful. I have Spirit Field but I don't have a special Cultivation Method spell. The output efficiency of spirit medicine has never been high.
"Yes." Li Yuan nodded, "But Demon Beast needs time to catch. Capturing alive is much more difficult than killing, so time is not guaranteed."
"There's no rush." The short-bearded monk stood up, "I'll put the things with you first. Demon Beast will deliver them when they are caught."
The two made a verbal agreement on the spot and there was no written document.
After Trading Fair ends, Li Yuan returns from Yunyang Marketplace to Wulin Marketplace.
He was thinking as he walked along the way.
There are quite a few Second-Order Monster Beast near Fang City, just wait until Spirit Vein Perception can find them.
Li Yuan recorded this incident in his plan and continued practicing after returning to the stone house.
