Chapter 242: Reversed Five Elements Soul Locking Formation
After a quick look, Xiao Lin only had the ancient book, three jade slips, and five jade boxes in front of him.
Xiao Lin first picked up a jade slip, pondered for a while, closed his eyes, and read through it carefully.
It took two hours before Xiao Lin opened his eyes, with a look of doubt on his face. After a while, he began to show surprise on his face.
He took out a jade box and opened it gently. Inside was a fist-sized piece of silver metal. Xiao Lin picked up the silver metal and placed it in front of his eyes to observe it carefully.
"Is this Gangyin?"
It turned out that the jade slip that Xiao Lin picked up earlier did not record any cultivation method, but the method of refining a magic weapon.
This surprised Xiao Lin. He never thought that Shi Zhongbai, a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, actually had the method of refining a magic weapon, and this magic weapon was extremely sharp.
It is a magic weapon called "Tian Dun Jing". According to the records in the jade slip, once the Tian Dun Jing is refined, it can condense its own fire-based skills or fire-based spiritual flames into flame auras to illuminate the enemy. As long as the magic power is sufficient, even the opponent's magic weapon can be destroyed.
Although Xiao Lin has never practiced fire-based skills, the Qingyan Spiritual Fire he practiced is also a special cold flame. If it can emit Qingyan spiritual light through this "Tian Dun Jing", it is expected to be powerful.
To refine this "Tian Dun Jing", the process is also very complicated. There are dozens of materials needed, but the most important and scarce ones are two metal materials called Gangyin and Mi Tong.
According to the description in the jade slip, the silver metal in his hand should be Gangyin, as for Mi Tong.
After thinking about it, Xiao Lin suddenly realized something. He took out a jade box from his storage bag and gently opened it. Inside was a piece of light golden metal. Xiao Lin vaguely remembered that this piece of light golden metal was obtained from the treasure room of Fu Rong, who wanted to take over his body.
Since he never knew the name, origin and use of this piece of metal, he kept it in his storage bag. If this piece of light golden metal is really secret copper, then he would have the two main materials to refine this "Sky Escape Mirror".
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but get excited, but he didn't feel happy for long, and his face showed a depressed look again.
The refining of magic weapons is not just about materials, but also through the Dan fire of Jindan cultivators. After entering the Jindan realm, the mana in the Dantian of the cultivator will solidify and begin to condense the Jindan.
In the process of refining the golden elixir, a flame that refines the golden elixir will be produced. This flame is called Dan Fire by the cultivators. After the golden elixir is fully formed, this Dan Fire will also wrap the golden elixir and refine it day by day. As the cultivation level increases, the golden elixir will become more condensed and transparent.
On the contrary, the more condensed the golden elixir is, the more it will warm the Dan Fire in reverse, greatly increasing the power of the Dan Fire.
The magic weapons used by the cultivators in the Golden Core Stage are usually refined by their own Dan Fire, which can greatly improve the fit between the magic weapons and the cultivators, thereby exerting the maximum power of the magic weapons.
Therefore, Xiao Lin could only look at this jade slip that recorded the method of refining the Tiandun Mirror but could not refine it himself, probably because his realm was not enough, which made Xiao Lin feel a little itchy.
After being depressed for a while, Xiao Lin could only carefully collect this jade slip and two pieces of metal materials, and wait until he entered the Golden Core Stage in the future to start refining.
Then Xiao Lin picked up the second jade slip, put it in his palm, closed his eyes and began to read it.
Soon two hours passed, Xiao Lin opened his eyes, and there was still a thoughtful look in his eyes.
The jade slip recorded a formation called "Inverted Five Elements Soul Locking Formation", which detailed the refining method and array method of the Five Elements Flag.
Although Xiao Lin has always had some ideas about the formation, he did not have the secret book of the formation to comprehend, and in order to improve his realm, he spent most of his time meditating and practicing to improve his realm, and the rest of the time was spent on trials and improving his spell proficiency.
For the formation, he basically knew nothing, and this jade slip introduced the principle and arrangement method of the "Inverted Five Elements Soul Locking Formation" in great detail, which was worth comprehending for Xiao Lin.
After Xiao Lin entered the middle stage of foundation building, in addition to taking Shuilingdan and meditating every day to accumulate mana, the rest of his time has begun to be free.
Taking this opportunity to comprehend the "Reversed Five Elements Soul Locking Formation" is also a good way to kill time. In addition, in Xiao Lin's opinion, his cave house is built in Dancao Mountain, which is naturally very safe. He only needs to arrange some simple illusion arrays to basically ensure safety.
Once he leaves Dancao Mountain and practices outside, he needs to build a temporary cave house. If he does not arrange arrays for defense and hiding, it will be difficult for him to practice with peace of mind. In this case, it is very necessary to refine a few array flags.
Suddenly, Xiao Lin was slightly stunned, and then remembered something. He went deep into the storage bag with his spiritual consciousness, searched carefully, and then took out a jade slip and a jade box from it.
Gently opened the jade box, revealing a small flag with a hazy red spiritual light inside.
This small flag was obtained from the storage bag of Wan Huacai when he and Huo Jun hunted monsters together and were plotted against by him. Moreover, the jade slip in his hand recorded a formation called the Three Yuan Soul Locking Formation.
Through the Inverted Five Elements Soul Locking Formation, Xiao Lin knew that the Three Elements Soul Locking Formation was the initial formation of the Inverted Five Elements Soul Locking Formation, which was considered the foundation. The Fire Element Flag in front of him could be transformed into one of the Five Elements Flags, the Fire Element Flag, with a little refining.
The Inverted Five Elements Soul Locking Formation was relatively complicated. If Xiao Lin could comprehend the Three Elements Soul Locking Formation first, he could better understand the principle and function of the Inverted Five Elements Soul Locking Formation.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin picked up two of the remaining four jade boxes and opened them gently. There was a fist-sized piece of metal material in each of them, one piece of red copper emitting a faint silver light, and the other piece of metal was black and flashing a faint black light.
"Method-breaking copper and thousand-forged steel?" These two materials are the main materials for refining the Five Elements Flag. It seems that the original owner of the Inverted Five Elements Soul Locking Formation has already collected the materials, but has not yet started refining.
Now that he has gotten a bargain for nothing, Xiao Lin can't help but be overjoyed.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin took out the materials he had put away before, and searched again according to the description of the materials for refining the five-element formation flags recorded in the jade slip. As expected, he gathered all the materials for refining the inverted five-element soul-locking formation.
Put these materials away separately, and when he thoroughly comprehends the principles of the formation in the future, he can start refining.
According to the records in the jade slip, once the inverted five-element soul-locking formation is refined and arranged, even if the foundation-building great perfection cultivator attacks with all his strength, it will take at least one day to break through the defense of the formation.
Among the second-level formation flags, it is also considered a front-end formation.
Xiao Lin picked up the last jade slip and browsed it.
This time, in less than half an hour, Xiao Lin opened his eyes and threw the jade slip into the storage bag.
The jade slip records the refining method of the intermediate-level spiritual weapon Black Dragon Shield. Xiao Lin naturally understands that the original owner of this jade slip is Shi Zhongbai, who has a finished black dragon shield in his hand, but it was destroyed by the gray-robed old man.
Xiao Lin vaguely remembered that there was a second-level scale in his pile of materials. He thought that this scale was the reverse scale of the real-level monster black-scaled horned python. In fact, although the black dragon shield has the word "jiao" in it, it is not a real dragon.
If it is a real dragon, even the lowest-level black dragon, it is at least an emperor-level monster when it is born, and the materials on the emperor-level monster are the best materials for Jindan monks to refine magic weapons.
The black-scaled horned python can only be regarded as a kind of python with the blood of the dragon. It has a sharp horn on its head and is covered with black scales. What's more weird is that there is a small foot as thick as a baby's arm on its abdomen, which looks a bit out of place.
But this little foot is extraordinary. It contains the half-demon power of the black-scaled horned python. Once it encounters danger, at the last moment, it will cut off its own little foot and shoot it towards the enemy, letting the little foot approach, and then burst directly, bursting out a storm of demon power. Moreover, the fine scales on this little foot are no less than a sharp spiritual weapon. Under such an attack, most foundation-building cultivators find it difficult to resist.
Once careless, even a cultivator in the middle and late stages of foundation building may end up dead.
Xiao Lin has no idea of refining this black dragon shield for the time being, but since the materials are available, he will refine it when he has time in the future. After all, having one more defensive spiritual weapon can save his life at a critical moment.
After a brief pause, Xiao Lin picked up the yellowed ancient book. The paper of this book seems to be no different from ordinary paper, but it exudes a faint strange smell, which makes Xiao Lin sure that this paper is not ordinary.
There are only four words on the cover of the ancient book: "Secret Demon Sutra".
This ancient book was not Shi Zhongbai's, nor was it the property of the strong man killed by Xiao Lin. It was obtained from the bag of Shi Jiujin, who had intercepted him outside the Southern Wilderness Fairy City.
Xiao Lin couldn't help but think of the skull that spewed black flames.
In his opinion, the skull refined by Shi Jiujin was likely to come from this "Secret Demonic Scripture".
Xiao Lin gently opened the cover and carefully browsed the contents.
This reading took half a day, and Xiao Lin's face kept changing as he browsed the contents. He was thinking, surprised, and even showed horror from time to time.
After a rough browse, Xiao Lin pondered for a while, then he breathed a sigh of relief and carefully collected this "Secret Demonic Scripture".
"Secret Demonic Scripture" records an extremely cruel and domineering magic technique.
