Longevity begins with alchemy

Chapter 108 Lihuo Nine Directions Flag

After Su Yi returned to the small courtyard from Mr. Shen, he walked directly into the study room, spread out the paper he brought back with the "Nine Directions Flag of Lihuo" written on it, and began to study it.

Generally, when powerful people recruit disciples, they teach the teachings orally and from the heart. The master teaches the Dharma to the disciples, and the teachings leave no traces.

For example, although Shen Mo only accepted Su Yi as a registered disciple, because he was partial to him, he wrote it down on paper for Su Yi to take back and study carefully.

The reason why it was written on paper rather than burned into jade slips was because it was "burned after reading" to avoid "the Dharma being passed down to six ears."

This "Lihuo Nine Directions Flag" has a name and a brief introduction in the "Array" column of "Initial Solution to Refining Weapons".

"The First Interpretation of Weapon Refining" classifies all kinds of magical weapons in the world. The major categories include "offensive, defensive, auxiliary, formation..." and so on. Under the major categories, there are also smaller categories, such as "attack weapons" There are "fire attack tools, thunder attack tools..." and so on.

Due to the limited space of "The Preliminary Explanation of Refining Weapons", most of them only contain the names and overviews of the magical implements, without describing the detailed raw materials and production processes. Otherwise, there are so many magical implements in the world that even ten thousand volumes would not be able to write them down.

This "Lihuo Nine Directions Flag" only has a name and an overview, so Mr. Shen wrote down the raw materials, runes, magic circles, etc. for refining it.

Su Yi first looked at what raw materials were needed to refine the "Lihuo Nine Directions Flag", and saw that Mr. Shen's "character" was peaceful and peaceful, and he thought it had some soothing and calming effects.

"Purple Yang Lihuo Gold."

"Millennium Fire Silk."

"Thousand Years of Lightning Strike Wood." (Note: The number of years can be increased or decreased as appropriate. The longer the number of years, the higher the quality of the refined finished flag.)
Similar to making sword pills, refining the "Lihuo Nine Directions Flag" is easy to find auxiliary materials, but the main materials are difficult to find. Su Yi looked at the main materials first and found that the main materials are divided into two parts: "flagpole" and "flag surface".

This "Purple Yangli Fire Gold" is the best raw material among metal materials, and its properties are second only to fire-attribute spiritual stones.

So wouldn't it be better to just use fire-attribute spiritual stones to make the flagpole?Isn't the power of attributes more powerful?
In fact, this is not the case. Everything in the world has its own use. Although the attributes of spirit stones are more powerful, they are not suitable for use in refining weapons.

Precisely because the spiritual stone contains a large proportion of attributes, it is too brittle and not strong enough for refining.

Although this "Ziyang Lihuo Gold" is located in the "mine core" and its reserves are extremely low, the Northland gold system is rich in minerals, so it is not difficult to find it. You can just buy it with money.

Having "solved" the materials for the flagpole, Su Yi looked at the "Millennium Fire Silk" used to make the flag. Su Yi frowned slightly when he saw this, because this material was difficult to find in the North.

As the name suggests, this "Millennium Fire Silk" is naturally the "silk" spun by Millennium Fire Silkworms.

Su Yiyin had read "The Art of Raising Insects of the Ancestors", which contained an introduction to the "Millennium Fire Silkworm".

It says that the "Millennium Fire Silkworm" ranks 88th on the "List of Strange Insects in the World". When it is born, it is only the size of a millet grain, and its growth is extremely slow, only growing one millimeter every ten years. Therefore, even the "Millennium Fire Silkworm" is Only three inches in size.

The quality of the silk spun by the Millennium Fire Silkworm increases with age. A fire silkworm that grows to one inch in size, which is about 300 years old, can spin silk. When the silk is finished, it will die.

In order to obtain higher-quality fire silk, insect farmers usually use drugs to delay the silk spinning time, so that they can finally obtain thousand-year-old fire silk.

The reason why Su Yi thinks this "thousand-year fire silk" is difficult to find is because it is not something that ordinary insect farmers can raise.

Ordinary people cannot live for a thousand years, so how can they raise "thousand-year fire silkworms." Those who can raise thousand-year fire silkworms are often large sects or aristocratic families, that is, small sects and Ordinary cultivating families don't have this thing, because small sects and aristocratic families may not be able to last for thousands of years, let alone focus on raising this thing.

Su Yi didn't want to think that refining the "Lihuo Nine Directions Flag" required such hard-to-find materials. To a certain extent, this was considered a "self-inflicted mistake".

You can't just change and refine other magic weapons just because the materials are hard to find. If you don't stand the test and retreat when encountering difficulties, wouldn't it leave a bad impression on the master?

This really echoes the saying I heard in my previous life, "The path you choose has to be walked even on your knees!"

Su Yi used his brain to think carefully. After thinking for a long time, he still didn't know how to find this "Millennium Fire Silk". In the end, he could only put it down for the time being and look at the next main material.

This is the third main material for refining "Lihuo Jiufang Banner", which is called "Wanzai Lightning Strike Wood".

In the relationship between the five elements, wood generates fire; while thunder naturally has the nature of fire.

In Su Yi's opinion, this "Thunder Strike Wood" should play a role similar to "Flint and Steel" in the "Lihuo Nine Directions Banner".

It is the existence of "it" that connects the formation flag with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The flag holder can activate the magic circle by using mana to impact the lightning-strike wood in the formation flag.

After all, Su Yi has watched the "Introduction to Refining Weapons" for several years. Although he has never practiced refining weapons (refining sword pills last time is not included, Mr. Shen did it that time, he was just observing). There is still some theoretical knowledge, so this is not considered "wild guessing."

Su Yi did find this "Thunder Strike Wood" somewhere, it was the old willow tree in Beimang, and it was not the first time he had dealt with it. Su Yi believed that he could get the Thunder Strike Wood again from it.

Mr. Shen made a note after this "lightning strike on the wood", explaining that the longer the "wood age" is, the higher the quality of the finished product will be.

Su Yi didn't know how many years the old tree had lived, but he thought it must have been thousands of years old.

At this time, Su Yi suddenly thought, if Master Shen Mo is really a hidden master walking in the world of mortals, and has been lingering in the North for a long time, then I wonder if he has any intersection with that old tree?
However, he just thought that it was related to the monk's past, which was classified as private, and inquiring into the monk's privacy was taboo in the world of cultivation.

If the master takes the initiative to tell him something like this, he will just listen to it. If the master doesn't tell him, he won't take the initiative to ask.

Besides, this kind of "curiosity" won't help, and may actually offend others. He won't do such stupid things.

After looking at the main materials for refining the "Lihuo Nine Directions Flag", Su Yi looked at the auxiliary materials for refining it and found that although there were many types of auxiliary materials, they were generally not hard to find, and most of them were paid for. Available now.

Su Yi now carries hundreds of foundation-building pills, which translates into nearly ten million spiritual stones. It is not an exaggeration to say "not short of money".

Since there was no shortage of money, Su Yi thought about gathering all the materials he could buy. Thinking of this, Su Yi got up and went out directly.

Luoxiafang City is not a large market, so there is no special "task point", but every store in the city has a business of purchasing and selling.

The shops that Su Yi is relatively familiar with in Fangshi are Shenji Pavilion and Precious Medicine Pavilion. Since the master did not let him "purchase" in Shenji Pavilion before, it meant that he was allowed to complete the matter independently, so Su Yi I chose Zhenyaoge as a purchasing agent.

After he came to Zhenyao Pavilion, he told Liang Liping about the matter. Purchasing on behalf of others was also profitable, so Liang Liping naturally agreed happily.
