In the early morning, Qin Tiexin came out of the quiet room, holding the four wolf fangs in his hand.
He originally planned to go to Fangshi today to sell the wolf fangs in exchange for some Spirit Stone or elixirs. But when he walked to the door of cave abode, he stopped for a moment. He turned around and picked up Edgeless leaning against the wall from the corner.
The heavy knife was in hand. Suddenly, the dark golden fangs of the Wolf King trembled slightly.
Immediately afterwards, a very faint gray-black mist seeped out from the tip of the tooth, struggling and twisting as if it were alive, but it was pulled by an invisible force and floated towards Edgeless Saber.
The moment the mist touched the blade, Edgeless fine dark golden veins appeared on the surface of the pitch-black blade - like the blood vessels that originally existed inside the blade, were activated at this moment. The veins shone slightly, greedily absorbing the gray-black mist.
Qin Tiexin pupils shrink.
He could feel an extremely subtle, almost pleasant tremor coming from the Edgeless in his hand. It was not an illusion, it was real - the knife was "enjoying" this wisp of Sha Qi.
The gray and black mist was completely absorbed.
The color of the fangs changed visibly with the naked eye: the turbid black gas mixed in the original dark gold completely disappeared, turning into pure, warm dark gold. The spiral pattern on the surface of the tooth body became clearer, and there was a faint cyan brilliance flowing.
Qin Tiexin Put down Edgeless and pick up the fang.
The feeling of holding it completely changed. There was no longer a stinging sense of evil, only the coldness and a restrained wave of wind spiritual power. He brought his fangs close to the tip of his nose - the original faint fishy smell was gone, replaced by something fresh like the mountain breeze after rain.
He brought the other three fangs closer to Edgeless in turn.
The same process was repeated three times. The gray and black Sha Qi in each fang was extracted, and the tooth body became transparent and pure. During the whole process, the dark golden veins in the Edgeless Saber body disappeared and appeared, as if breathing.
All four fangs have been purified.
Qin Tiexin put down Edgeless, looked at the four brand-new fangs on the table, and was silent for a long time.
The most difficult step in refining the bone and tooth weapon - "washing out evil spirits", was easily solved by Edgeless.
He put away his fangs, carried Edgeless on his back, and went out to Zhuxintang.
Luo Ling was adjusting the magic circle of a new forge in the Heart-casting Hall. When she saw Qin Tiexin coming in, she didn't even raise her head. "The mission is over?"
"Hmm."
"Are you not hurt?"
"Slight injury, healed." Qin Tiexin briefly told Luo Ling about the mission.
Luo Ling looked up at him and nodded. "Although your senior brother's method is a little timid, it is effective. If you can eliminate the danger in advance, don't fight hard. As for you taking the opportunity to hone your martial arts skills..." She paused, "Not bad, actual combat is the best teacher."
Qin Tiexin responded "Yes", hesitated for a moment, and said, "Master, I want to know about the bone and tooth horn tools."
Luo Ling raised her eyebrows. "Why are you suddenly interested in this?"
"There are suitable materials among the materials obtained from hunting Demon Beast." Qin Tiexin did not say anything about Edgeless. "We may encounter him again in the future."
Luo Ling put down the magic circle disk in his hand and wiped his hands. "The bone and tooth weapon is indeed suitable for body-refining monks. You often hunt Demon Beast, and there are many sources of materials. Moreover, the bone weapon is light and not as heavy as the metal Law Artifact, which can supplement the shortcomings of your heavy sword."
She walked to the bookshelf, pulled out two Jade Slip, and threw them to Qin Tiexin.
""Initial Interpretation of Bone Artifacts" and "Sha Qi Identification", you should take a look first. The key point is to 'cleanse the evil thoughts and leave the power' - to cleanse Demon Beast of the remaining evil thoughts and resentments, but the talent Divine Ability must be retained. This step is the most difficult. Many weapon refiners fell here and were backlashed by Sha Qi. At least their souls were damaged, and at worst they went crazy."
Qin Tiexin took Jade Slip and said nothing.
Luo Ling added, "Your Uncle Wu was exposed to bone weapon refining in his early years. If you have any questions, you can ask him. But when he was... forget it, you can ask it yourself."
Qin Tiexin bowed and resigned.
After leaving Zhuxintang, he first went to the first floor of the Library Pavilion and exchanged Spirit Stone for "Demon Beast Material Processing Encyclopedia", "Talent Divine Ability Curing Method" and several other Jade Slip. Then he returned to cave abode and started reading.
There is a lot of information in Jade Slip.
The steps for refining bone tools: selecting materials, washing evil spirits, warming and curing, shaping, engraving, and injecting spirits. Each step is very particular, especially washing evil spirits - it needs to be slowly calcined with a special magic circle or spiritual fire, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the risk is extremely high.
Qin Tiexin saw a record:
[Rogue Cultivator Wang Jue obtained a spine from Foundation Establishment's peak "Black Wind Tiger", but forcibly forged the weapon without washing it thoroughly. Three days after making the weapon, he went crazy with a bone knife in the middle of the night and slaughtered twenty-three members of his clan. After that, he cut off his meridians and died. During the autopsy, it was found that 70% of his soul had been eroded by the tiger evil.]
There are several similar cases.
Qin Tiexin put down Jade Slip and looked at the four fangs on the table. All the Sha Qi in these teeth had been sucked out by Edgeless.
He got up and went to the next door yard to find Wu Zhen.
Wu Zhen was grinding a dark red ore powder. When he saw Qin Tiexin coming, he put down the mortar and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Uncle Master, I would like to ask for advice on bone weapon refining."
Wu Zhen paused for a moment and looked up at him. "Did your master ask you to come?"
"Hmm."
"Have you thought clearly? Bone weapons are no better than iron weapons. Iron weapons will at most fail to be forged, and bone weapons will easily backfire." Wu Zhen asked.
"Think it through."
Wu Zhen was silent for a moment, then took out a palm-sized bone fragment from his arms. The bone fragment was light yellow in color, with complex lines carved on the surface, but there was a slight crack in the middle, extending from the edge to the center.
"This is the 'tiger bone amulet' I made in the early years." Wu Zhen handed the bone fragment to Qin Tiexin, "Foundation Establishment Middle Stage It is made from the forehead bone of the 'Splitting Wind Tiger'. I originally wanted to make it into a defensive piece Law Artifact that can automatically activate the shield."
Qin Tiexin took it. The bone fragments were warm to the touch, but there was a faint wave of unstable spiritual energy coming from the crack.
"Did it fail?"
"It's a semi-failure." Wu Zhen said, "The evil spirit was not completely washed away. Three years after it was made, this crack suddenly appeared, halving the defensive ability of the amulet, and occasionally disturbing the wearer's mood - making people inexplicably irritable and irritable."
He pointed at the crack. "This is the remaining tiger evil. I was too impatient at the time and thought that seven days of calcining with the 'Pure Evil Formation' would be enough. In fact, it will take at least half a month, and it must be slowly smoked with the smoke of 'Qingxin Grass'. I have been keeping it to remind myself not to rush it."
Qin Tiexin Return the bone fragment to Wu Zhen.
Wu Zhen put it away and continued, "Since you want to learn, I will teach you what I know and it's up to you to choose. First of all, the first step in bone tool refining is 'spiritual resonance'. You need to use your own spiritual power to warm the material, establish preliminary contact, and feel its structure, spiritual power direction, and the location of the talent mark. If you do this step well, the subsequent cleansing and engraving will be much smoother."
He taught a simple method of warming and nourishing: wrap the bones with spiritual power every day, repeat the cycle, and at the same time use Divine Sense to sense the internal changes. Resonance can be established in as fast as three to five days, or as slowly as half a month.
As for cleansing evil spirits, Wu Zhen handed him a copy of "Experiences of Cleansing Evil Evils", which he recalled based on his memory of the Lingxi Sect's classics a few years ago. He also gave it to Qin Tiexin, telling him not to worry and to come to him at any time if he had any questions.
Although there may not be a need to cleanse this time, but the study in this area will prepare you for trouble. Qin Tiexin took it and said goodbye.
In the next ten days, Qin Tiexin practiced Spiritual Qi Carving Knife and "Cunbu·Blood Vortex Thorn" during the day. After practicing at night, he used the method taught by Wu Zhen to warm up the four fangs, and at the same time read relevant Jade Slip.
He placed the fang in the palm of his hand, and the spiritual power surged out from Dantian and wrapped around the fang body. There was no reaction at first, but three days later, he could vaguely feel the wind spiritual power inside the fang flowing slowly, as if there was life breathing.
On the seventh day, resonance is established.
Qin Tiexin Close your eyes and you can "see" the structure inside the fangs: dense bone fibers, intertwined wind spiritual power channels, and the deepest talent imprint buried like a seed - that is the root of "Wind Blade" Divine Ability.
After the warm-up was successful, he followed the introduction in "Bone Tools" and began to practice carving on ordinary wolf bones.
From Storage Bag, take out a leg bone of an iron-backed wolf in the Qi Refining Stage, which is as thick as an arm. Qin Tiexin stretches out his right index finger, and Spiritual Qi condenses into a carving knife, with the tip as thin as a needle.
He calmed down and lowered the carving knife.
The first step is to carve the starting pattern of the "spiritual guidance pattern" - a tiny spiral - on the bone surface.
As soon as the tip of the knife touched the bone surface, a thin crack opened on the bone surface with a "click" sound.
The force is too great. Bones are not like metal. They are brittle and textured. The carving knife must follow the direction of the bone fibers and cannot be hard.
Qin Tiexin Change a bone and start over.
This time he used less force, and the carving knife slowly cut across the bone surface. The outline of the spiral gradually took shape, but just when it was about to be completed, the bone fibers under the carving knife suddenly broke - the direction of the fibers in this piece changed, and he did not adjust in time.
The bones were broken into several pieces.
Come again.
The third cut, the fourth cut, the fifth cut...
In ten days, Qin Tiexin used more than twenty pieces of wolf bones, but never succeeded in carving out a complete spiritual guide pattern. The best time, only two-thirds of the work was completed, and then the bone surface suddenly cracked and the lines were interrupted.
But he's not in a hurry.
Practice for two hours every day, and try again if you fail. From the strength and angle of the carving knife to the judgment of the direction of bone fibers, you will explore bit by bit.
However, Qin Tiexin was not without gain these past few days. When he was reading, he discovered that since the bone tool was born with Divine Ability, after being warmed and maintained, it can directly exert 60% of its effectiveness even if it is not engraved with spiritual patterns.
Qin Tiexin found a strong hemp rope and tied the four warmed fangs in groups of two to the left and right wrists respectively.
After being tied up, he walked to the open space outside cave abode to test the ability of the fangs.
He raised his right hand and aimed it at a rock half a man's height twenty steps away. Spiritual Qi and Divine Sense were injected into it, and the Wolf King's fangs on his wrist were slightly hot.
A green wind blade about a foot long condensed out of thin air and shot through the air.
"Tsk--!"
The wind blade slashed across the rock, leaving an inch-deep cut on the surface. The edge was as smooth as a mirror. Stone chips fell down.
Qin Tiexin raised his left hand again, Foundation Establishment Early Stage fangs activated.
The second wind blade was slightly smaller and less powerful, but the cut mark it left on the rock was still half an inch deep.
He tested the limits: the Wolf King's fangs can be activated up to three times a day, and the Foundation Establishment Early Stage fangs can be activated twice a day. After each activation, the fangs will become cold, and it will take four hours to absorb the Spiritual Qi on their own to recover.
Enough.
Qin Tiexin looked at the cut marks on the rocks, and then at the fangs on his wrists.
We have the means of remote attack.
He turned back to cave abode. He will continue to practice carving tomorrow. It doesn't matter if the bones are broken, there are still a lot of wolf bones anyway.
