After touring the various secret places of the sect, Lao Jiang locked himself in the small courtyard for a whole week.
It seemed like he was studying something. No matter Shi Rui, the little fat man, or Ruyue came, none of them could step into his yard. Old Jiang had madly buried a minefield at the entrance of the yard.
Its statement is very clear.
I'm busy.
Don't bother me!
He didn't even do the work assigned by the sect and was absent without reason. He should have been severely punished by the master, but unfortunately Lao Jiang had already been exiled by Shi Yan.
Naturally, there was no master to punish him.
As for Lao Jiang's job, he was supposed to go to the weapon-making workshop to supervise and maintain those wooden spirit puppets, but this was "outsourced" by Lao Jiang to his "nephews" who joined the school at the same time.
This matter was handled by the secretary, who did a very good job.
The main outsourcing targets were the five new disciples from Song Fan's school. They were asked to cover for Lao Jiang, but they were originally unwilling to accept the offer.
Unfortunately, Jiang gave too much.
In short, after disappearing for seven days, on the afternoon of the seventh day, the unshaven old Jiang finally walked out of the small courtyard and left home in a hurry.
He almost stepped on the landmines he had laid.
Fortunately, the "loyal dog" Liu Hui, who was resting in the sun on the lawn, reminded him.
Seven days ago, the silly monster gave Ruyue an initiation. Because the "Ming Yu Jiu Zhuan Jue" technique provided by Lao Jiang was very exquisite, the efficiency of the initiation spiritual power reached an astonishing 87.9%.
This also reduced the sequelae caused to Liu Hui a lot.
According to the silly monster, it would take about twenty days of rest to recover to its full strength and then come for the second initiation. It is already ready.
Looking eager to try.
Of course, the reason why Liu Hui was so enthusiastic about this recognized tough job, in addition to her "loyalty" to her boss, was more because the furnace of demon elixir that belonged to it had already been arranged by Elder Sanbao.
If you get good things from your boss, you have to work hard on it.
This is the code of conduct for silly monsters.
"Bang, bang, bang"
Carried by the silly monster in his true form as a monster, Lao Jiang flew as fast as riding on clouds and arrived at the "residential area" for outer disciples halfway up the Minggui Peak, and landed directly at the place where Wang Liufu was resting.
I wasn't polite and just walked up and knocked on the door loudly.
After a few breaths, the tightly closed door opened, and Elder Wang Liufu, who also had a scruffy beard, said to Lao Jiang in a very unfriendly tone:
"What are you trying to do by smashing the door? Are you trying to rebel? I am an elder after all, you..."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Old Jiang's right eye was full of bloodshot, and it seemed that he had endured several nights of hard work. He stuffed the things in his hand into Wang Liufu's arms and said to the outer sect elders:
"I have made a new magic weapon. Please help me temper it. Now! Immediately! Immediately!"
"Um?"
Wang Liufu looked at the thing in his hand in confusion.
It is square, the size of a fist, and cold to the touch. It should be made of spiritual iron. When the setting sun light outside the door shines on this thing, it emits a metallic luster of blue and purple.
Lao Wang is an old weapon refiner.
He could tell at a glance that the material of this thing was unusual, so he placed it in front of him and examined it carefully.
The little things are very unique.
A perfect hexahedron.
Each side is divided into nine grids. Looking closely, one can see that they are not cut with a sharp tool, but are small squares connected together with some sophisticated techniques.
"Click"
Lao Wang moved his fingers slightly, and the "new magic weapon" in his hand turned twice in his hand, rotating horizontally and vertically at the same time, without changing its appearance.
this……
It's a Rubik's Cube.
It's just an ordinary three-dimensional Rubik's Cube, nothing special. It costs only a dozen yuan each in a roadside shop in Lao Jiang's hometown. It's perfect for appeasing naughty children.
The twenty-six blocks are connected together by a three-dimensional cross-connected axis inside, allowing for flexible movement. Because it is made of metal, it is quite heavy to hold.
The careful Wang Liufu also noticed that there were fine scratches on the surface of the fifty-four small cubes on the six sides of the Rubik's Cube.
He doesn't even need to look.
Just by rubbing it with your fingers, you can distinguish the shapes of the marks.
"There are thirty-six first-level ink symbols and eighteen second-level ink symbols. They can be combined into a nine-symbol array by rotating them... It's quite interesting."
An expression of great interest immediately appeared on Lao Wang's unshaven face.
He spun the metal Rubik's Cube in his hand, making a clicking sound, as if he had just gotten a new toy. He then looked up at the tired-looking Old Jiang and asked:
"In order to enhance its toughness, you added black iron and black soil sand? I can also smell the scent of century-old stalactites. Have you already infused it with spiritual energy?"
"Yes, it's all done. It's done completely according to the sect's weapon-making procedures. Only the quenching is left."
Lao Jiang yawned, stretched out his hand to scratch his messy hair, and said:
"After using these spiritual materials, the temperature of an ordinary forge is not high enough to quench them. I can only ask you to help me quench them with the earth vein fire. Please be careful.
If you break it, I'll beat you up!"
"Tsk, it's just a magical weapon."
Wang Liufu was questioned about his level and immediately looked dissatisfied.
He has not been idle these days.
The complex and sophisticated set of armor and magical weapons that Shi Rui brought made the old weapon maker feel excited, and he felt as if the door to a new world had been opened for him.
His old ideas about making instruments were also cleansed. He spent the past few days studying the drawings of the instruments without sleep and gained a lot of inspiration from them.
When Lao Jiang came, Lao Wang was actually designing a new magical tool. It was no wonder that he looked unhappy because he was interrupted during his working hours.
"Come with me."
Lao Wang held the Rubik's Cube in his hand, which was spinning and making crackling sounds, and waved . The two of them got on Lao Wang's wooden kite, flew away from Minggui Peak, and soon arrived at the Feiming Peak tool-making workshop.
Mo Shuang Mountain is built on the earth veins of the East. There used to be a strange phenomenon of "the ground covered with a sea of ​​fire" here, so it can attract thousands of years of strange fire from the earth veins.
This flame is full of spiritual energy.
Although it does not have any other magical powers, it is just enough for weapon makers to temper their magical weapons.
"There is one more."
Lao Jiang jumped off the wooden kite and followed Wang Liufu into the forging room. He saw a two-meter-high bronze furnace in front of him, like an alchemy furnace. Through the round hole in the middle, one could see hot flames dancing.
Ten steps away.
The burning heat made Lao Jiang's face hot, and he could only barely resist it by using his spiritual energy.
That's why he asked Wang Liufu to help him temper himself.
This strange fire from the earth veins is too overbearing. The bodies and souls of the Qi training realm cultivators are not sufficiently tempered, so it is difficult for them to even get close to it.
He took out another Rubik's Cube from his arms. This one was much worse than the one before. It was also made of ordinary spiritual iron, but it was exquisitely made.
But the fifty-four surfaces of the Rubik's Cube are not engraved with Mohist spells.
Instead, there were the thirty-seven basic seals of the spirit-entering technique, as well as overlapping seals, which looked to be in no regular pattern.
"Since you are here, you can help me quench this."
He threw the second Rubik's Cube to Lao Wang, who took it in his hand without answering. He walked forward to the earth vein furnace, circulated the Mo Jing spiritual energy in his body, and used the spiritual energy to wrap the embryo of the magic weapon.
Then he carefully placed them into the forge.
He placed his left hand next to the forge's ear and injected spiritual energy into it.
The heat is controlled very precisely.
With the infusion of spiritual energy, the strange fire in the forge suddenly rose up as if it had obtained new firewood, and burned more violently.
The two Rubik's Cubes were suspended in the fire and were being manipulated by Lao Wang to rotate continuously, so that every side and every cube could withstand the flames but would not melt.
Not every magical weapon has to go through the quenching process.
For example, for instruments such as wood and silk, their final step is the “water immersion method”, but the principle is the same as the quenching method.
They all need to use the pressure of the external environment to completely solidify the talismans engraved on the magic weapons to prevent them from being worn out, while also stimulating the potential of the spiritual materials.
Only when the quenching is completed can the magic weapon be considered complete.
The spiritual charms of various spiritual materials are combined with each other, and then guided by the magical ink talismans to form a solid and stable system. After injecting spiritual power, the magic weapon can be put into operation.
Lao Jiang carefully observed Lao Wang's operation. The recording function of the left eye prosthesis had been activated. As a device maker, he had to master the craft of quenching to perfection.
Ten breaths later, Wang Liufu's hand left the forge, and the strange fire dissipated. With a wave of his left hand, the spiritual energy turned into wind, and the two magic cubes were taken out of the forge.
There is no major change in appearance.
Only when light shines on it, it no longer shows a bluish-purple reflection, but becomes a simpler dark light, which looks much more low-key.
This is called the self-concealment of the divine object.
All spiritual things have such characteristics.
Unless the instrument maker himself is a flamboyant person, or the person who orders the instrument has special requirements, the instrument will be deliberately made grand and majestic.
Otherwise, all the magic tools made by Mo Shuangshan would be of this simple and low-key style.
The Mo family likes this style.
"Here, try it."
Lao Wang looked at his quenching work perfectly, turned around and threw the two Rubik's Cubes to Lao Jiang. Jiang Xia took them in his hands but did not inject spiritual energy into them immediately.
On the contrary, he lightly touched the center of the magic side facing the sky with his finger, and the internal snaps made a sound, and the nine small cubes on the entire side popped outwards.
A square hole is revealed.
Wang Liufu was not surprised.
When he got the Rubik's Cube before, he used his divine sense to notice the small mechanism inside. He was also very curious about the purpose of Jiang Xialiu's mechanism.
As he watched, Jiang Xia took out two long and thin spirit stones that were polished into specific shapes from the ring, and placed them into the two Rubik's cubes like loading bullets.
As the buckle was tightened again, Lao Jiang stretched out his hands with his palms flat. Two Rubik's Cubes stood in his palms. As he poured his spiritual thoughts into them, they were activated with spiritual power.
The next moment.
With a clicking sound, the "floating" symbol created by the Five Elements Spirit Array inside was activated, and two Rubik's Cubes floated up from the palm of his hand and fell right in front of Lao Jiang.
No one touched a finger.
The six sides of the Rubik's Cube were rotating actively.
Horizontal, vertical.
In the spiritual power radiated by the spirit stones inside, they kept spinning, seemingly without any regularity, but full of a unique mechanical beauty in the flow.
And all of this is under the control of Lao Jiang.
At a certain moment, Jiang Xia's mind moved, and his spiritual power increased. The two Rubik's Cubes stopped rotating at the same time, and the side facing Wang Liufu lit up with the light of the ink array being activated.
"boom"
Nine dazzling fire snakes entangled together and shot out from the ink array on the surface of the Rubik's Cube, heading towards Wang Liufu in different directions.
At the same time, the spirit-attaching array on the side of the spirit-attached magic cube was also activated.
The effect of the "weakness" imprint silently covered the ten-foot square area in front of Lao Jiang.
But this kind of attack is nothing to Wang Liufu.
He didn't even move, allowing the weakening effect and the nine fire snakes to hit him . The Mo Jing spiritual shield in front of him just swayed like flowing water, causing waves.
"That's it?"
Lao Wang said very dissatisfiedly:
"Don't tell me that you spent so much effort to make a thing that even children would hate? I can just find a stone on the side of the road, carve a symbol on it and throw it out. It's more powerful than this."
"Just saying hi."
Jiang Xia looked at the two Rubik's Cubes floating in front of him with satisfaction. He put away his first prototype, the Spirit Cube, and focused all his energy on the Five Elements Rubik's Cube.
With a malicious smile, he said to Wang Liufu in front of him:
"Elder, do you really want to see the true power of my 'Hun Tian' magical weapon?"
"Come on, that's a very domineering name."
Wang Liufu rubbed his chin and said:
"I have nothing to do now anyway... Shit!"
Perhaps it was because he had too much contact with the outer disciples of the Wasteland Gang, Old Wang, who was always very well-mannered, was shocked and actually blurted out the national curse that only the rude wastelanders would use.
But don't blame him for making a fuss.
In the previous moment, the automatic rotation speed of the Five Elements Rubik's Cube in front of Lao Jiang suddenly increased tenfold. During each rotation, there would be a pause of less than a millisecond.
And every pause.
They all represent that the six sides of the Rubik's Cube form a Nine-Talisman Ink Array at the same time, and that with every pause, the Rubik's Cube controlled by Lao Jiang will throw out six Five Elements spells at the same time.
This is not the end yet.
There are thirty-six first-level ink talismans engraved on Lao Jiang's magic cube. The talisman array they form poses no threat to a cultivator in the realm of truth like Wang Liufu.
But there are still eighteen second-level ink talismans.
When this thing is combined with thirty-six first-level ink talismans, the power is more than just doubled.
At the moment when Lao Wang exclaimed, in just a few breaths, more than forty Five Elements spells came towards him like a raging tide.
Fireball, ice spikes.
Wind Blade, Snow Sword.
Earth fist and golden halberd.
Poison gas and ground subsidence.
It's hard to say how destructive the power is, but the fierce momentum, the rolling of the five elements, the arc of light sweeping around, and the chaotic scene that wants to destroy everything really scared Lao Wang.
His fat body only had time to hold up an umbrella-shaped magical instrument before he was instantly submerged by the tide of the Five Elements spell. The entire platform in front of the workshop was also severely damaged at this moment.
It was like a cluster bomb was detonated, and the platform that was a hundred feet square in front of them collapsed completely.
"It's gone."
Seeing such a big commotion, Lao Jiang, who had been drained of his spiritual power, grabbed the Hun Tian Magic Cube in front of him, took out a bottle of Soul Gathering Pills and poured it into his mouth, then turned around and ran towards the teleportation array.
"Jiang Xia! Don't run away, little thief! It's hurting me!"
In the mess behind him, Wang Liufu's voice like a wolf's howl rang out, shocking Lao Jiang so much that he quickened his pace and disappeared in the light of the teleportation array.
How to say it.
Hun Tian’s first appearance had a good effect.
