The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 270 Flying Knife
Seeing that Lin Bai was polite and had achieved Dan at a young age, Old Man Dugu took a liking to him and started talking about the art of refining weapons.

Lin Bai was not bored at all, and instead sought advice sincerely, and the conversation became quite lively for a while.

"This boat is called the Rain Boat, which means sailing in the stormy waters." The old man has been refining tools all his life, and he never stops. He picked up the broken boat and gave instructions, "It can use the force to dissipate the force, which is very mysterious. It was refined by Lu Haike when he was in the Golden Core Realm. It is his masterpiece, so he has kept it."

Lin Bai thought back to the day when he besieged Lu Haike. It seemed that the treasure ship in his hand also had the same effect. It wandered among the three Yuanyings like a small boat in the wind and rain, and it seemed to be able to move freely. However, it met Xiang Wuhui in the end.

"What kind of materials are needed to restore it to its original state?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"We need a piece of Dragon Tiger Treasure Tree and some Changfeng Treasure Juice." Old Master Dugu was very familiar with the matter. He blew on Baimei and counted on his fingers. "In addition, this thing was corroded by thunder. It is a good thing to have thunder patterns on its body. It can ward off evil spirits and eliminate demons. But we need to add some Jade Spirit Juice for blending."

"Excuse me, old man, how much is it worth?" Lin Bai was asking for help, but he couldn't let others do it in vain.

Dugu Hao was about to report the number, but when he saw Mo Yingcheng blinking, he said, "My friend is a good friend of my Daoyin Sect, so you don't need to worry about some spiritual materials. I just heard that you are proficient in alchemy, so why don't you come to Wangu Peak to give a lecture and guide the disciples of my clan when you have time."

Wangu Peak is where the Dugu clan lives. There are fire veins underneath, and many of their disciples are proficient in refining weapons and elixirs.

"Old gentleman, you really have the style of the ancients. How can I refuse?" Lin Bai knew that Mo Yingcheng was giving a lecture and exempted him from the spiritual stones, so he accepted the good intention. Of course, he didn't have too many spiritual stones.

After talking for a while, Mo Yingcheng and Lin Bai left and headed towards Yushan Mountain.

Although Mo Yingcheng asked Lin Bai to convey the matter of the Taoist meeting to Mu Zhen, he still had to go there in person to observe all the etiquette.

"You two should get closer to each other. I still have some worldly affairs to attend to." After Mo Yingcheng finished talking about the Taoist meeting, he left politely.

For a moment, only Lin Bai and Mu Zhen were left, with Dugu Yan standing by their side.

"Come into the room and I'll talk to you about alchemy." Mu Zhen walked into the room.

Lin Bai knew he couldn't escape, so he had to agree.

After a long period of loneliness, once you smell the sweet dew, you will always be greedy for more. Anyway, after enduring this period of time and going through the trials, Sister Zhen will go to the north, and then you won’t be able to eat even if you want to.

After discussing Taoism for a night, Lin Bai escaped and went to Wangu Peak to look for Dugu Hao.

The first is to help out, the second is to learn some weapon refining techniques, and the third is to talk about magic weapons.

A few days passed like this, and then the day for discussing the Dao arrived.

There were many monks gathered on the top of Wenjian Mountain, most of them were Daoyin Sect monks, there were hundreds of them. There were seven Jindan in total, in addition to Chen Tianren's four Jindan disciples, there was also a middle-aged Jindan, all of them were from their Daoyin Sect.

The seven golden elixirs sat high under the locust tree with hanging swords. Mo Yingcheng presided over the Taoist meeting. Lin Bai and Mu Zhen sat far away and sat next to Min Hengbo.

Pei Ning, Dugu Yan and Shen Qiyun sat together, chatting in low voices.

Mo Yingcheng talked about some of his insights on Taoism to warm up the audience, and then invited Mu Zhen to preach.

Lin Bai slept with Sister Zhen many times. He only knew that she had the ability to escape, but he didn't know what other Taoist techniques she had practiced or what skills she had.

"I am now harmonious and natural, and Sister Zhen can't tell what I am practicing. We really know each other well, but we have different dreams." Lin Bai muttered privately.

Sure enough, Mu Zhen first said a few humble words and then started talking about the theory of alchemy, which contained many insights and the words of predecessors. For a moment, all the monks present were fascinated.

After Mu Zhen finished, it was the second senior brother Fan Rongding's turn. He was an alchemist, so he naturally talked about the method of alchemy, and then Min Hengbo talked about the Great Evolution Sword Sutra.

The Dayan Sword Scripture is one of the fundamental Taoist methods of the Daoyin Sect. It is also the method practiced by Chen Tianren and is most suitable for sword practitioners.

If the Daoyin Sect's monks specialize in sword cultivation, most of them learn this method.

After Pei Ning came to Daoyin Sect, she also practiced this method. Although she was an outsider, Mo Yingcheng owed Lin Bai a favor in the past, and she also had a close relationship with Chen Tianren because of the calligraphy, so she was able to teach him.

After Min Hengbo finished explaining the Dayan Sword Sutra, it was the turn of the fourth child, Xue Tianfeng.

Lin Bai had heard Mo Yingcheng talk about this man, who was also a swordsman, but had a somewhat dull temperament, as if he was trapped by love.

Sure enough, Xue Tianfeng looked depressed. He talked about some sword knowledge and what love was, which made Mo Yingcheng send messages frequently.

When it was Lin Bai's turn, since his second senior brother Fan Rongding had talked about the art of alchemy, he shared the art of setting up the battle formation.

Because it is not easy to train a formation master and talent is highly dependent, and formations need to be used frequently, formation masters are popular wherever they go.

Lin Bai did not talk about profound knowledge, but explained some basic principles in a simple and easy-to-understand way, which made everyone who listened to him admire him again and again.

"Isn't he a pill master?" Min Hengbo sent a message to Mo Yingcheng.

"I have also learned formations. I think I learned it from Mr. Gu from the Gu family." Mo Yingcheng replied.

"Although I have not practiced formations, I feel that he seems to have profound attainments in formations." Min Hengbo transmitted the message again.

"He inherited the Gu family's legacy, but he doesn't like to show off his skills. His knowledge of formations is not inferior to that of Senior Brother Wei, so you must not underestimate him. Also, I heard that his ability in fighting is also very strong, so don't challenge him to a duel for no reason. You should get along well with him." Mo Yingcheng smiled and transmitted the message.

"How strong can he be if he only knows how to sleep with women? I think most of his achievements were achieved by sleeping with women." Min Hengbo muttered, and when he saw that Mo Yingcheng didn't say anything more, he listened attentively.

After Lin Bai finished speaking, it was the last middle-aged Jindan, whose name was Wang Qixiu, who was in the late Jindan realm and had the hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage. Wang Qixiu was talking about the state of mind, about cutting off emotions and love, as if he was reminding the fourth brother Xue Tianfeng.

Zhu Jindan preached for three days, and then sat together for a day to communicate, and then he patted his butt and dispersed.

The matter of the Taoist meeting was thus settled, and there was nothing else important to do, so Lin Bai went to Wangu Peak again. Seeing that old Mr. Dugu Hao was almost done repairing the broken boat, he mentioned the matter of the flying knife.

"This isn't difficult." Dugu Hao picked up the flying knife that Lin Bai used when he was building his foundation, and examined it carefully to feel it. "This is made from the refined ore Huolin Stone, which contains fire. It is used by sword cultivators who cultivate the fire element. These flying knives are forged from lapis lazuli, with very few impurities. However, they are quite heavy, and ordinary sword cultivators may find it difficult to operate them as desired."

The old man has been refining weapons for hundreds of years. He can tell the origins of the two flying knives at a glance.

"You are an alchemist and you are also familiar with formations, so why are you playing with swords?" Dugu Hao asked curiously.

"It's better to be prepared." This old man has a very pure temperament. Lin Bai likes to deal with such people. He smiled and said, "This is what I used when I was building my foundation. Now that I have successfully formed the elixir, I would like to ask you, sir, what kind of material should I replace it with?"

"For the former, use Qingyan Red Crystal, which is a high-quality crystal ore produced by Qingyan Mountain. It may suit your taste. For the latter, you may want to use Qingxian Iron, which is heavy and sharp, and in line with the pure meaning of your cultivation." After a little thought, old man Dugu Hao gave his suggestion.

The Qingyan Mountain is thousands of miles further south, and is a place that burns all year round, making it a favorite place for those who practice fire magic. Moreover, most of the spiritual materials and herbs produced in the mountain contain pure fire.

As for the latter Qingxian Iron, it is usually produced along with Lingshi mines, and the output is extremely small.

These two things are mostly used by Jindan monks to refine swords, and there are also some skilled Yuanying monks to make up the numbers.

"People say that the things that Jindan cultivators need are extremely expensive. When you reach the Yuanying stage, you can't even buy the things you need. You can only find people of the same level to exchange for them. Or just rob them..."

Lin Bai pondered for a long time before asking, "How much do these two types of flying knives cost?"

Dugu Hao stroked his beard and smiled, "Flying knives are slightly smaller than flying swords, but they are also very expensive. How many do you plan to make? If you make more, it should be able to spread the cost a little."

"Two styles of flying knives, one hundred and eight each." Lin Bai said.

When he was in the foundation building stage, his consciousness was not strong, so he could not control many flying knives. But now that he had swallowed the elixir, his sea of ​​consciousness and sea of ​​qi had reached a higher level, and his consciousness was ten or a hundred times stronger than when he was in the foundation building stage, so he could control more flying knives.

Lin Bai tried it on the stone plate and was able to control two or three hundred flying knives without any problems. Of course, if he pursued the limit, it would cost too much.

This time, the 108 swords are used in sword formation, which are more powerful and do not require too much consumption of spiritual consciousness.

"Hiss..." Dugu Hao took a breath of cold air after hearing Lin Bai's arrogant words. He looked Lin Bai up and down and said, "Flying knives are like swords, which is also the way of sword cultivation. Controlling swords and groups is the most difficult, and requires the combination of talent and destiny. Are you teasing this old man?"

"Old sir, I get along well with Dugu Yan, and I am even more of a close friend of yours, so how could I lie to you?" Lin Bai pulled Dugu Hao's sleeve and said seriously, "A little more means a little more chance of survival."

"That's true." Dugu Hao had been with Lin Bai for a few days and knew that he was not a boastful person. He believed him a little, but still said sincerely: "My friend, you and I can talk, and we are old friends. I am dying, so it's nothing to waste some energy, so I won't charge you spirit stones. But if it's according to what you said, it will cost a lot to make 216 swords. Can you really come up with these spirit stones?"

Do you think I don't have any spirit stones? Lin Bai touched his fingers and found that he really didn't have many spirit stones.

In the past, when it came to making flying knives, Lin Bai relied on his old face to serve Jiang Yatou or Sister Huanhuan, and he didn't need to trouble himself at all.

Now that I am a Jindan senior, I shouldn’t bother my two bed partners anymore.

"How much do you need?" Lin Bai asked.

"Let me calculate..." Dugu Hao pinched his fingers and muttered for a long time, "Qingyan Mountain has been in turmoil recently, the price of red crystal stone is rising, and Qingxian refined iron is cheaper. But there are still various materials needed, and I will pay for them for you, old brother."

He counted on his fingers for a long time and said, "The former one needs ten top-grade spirit stones, and the latter one needs about twenty top-grade spirit stones."

"So expensive?" Lin Bai's mind raced. By this calculation, he would need to spend nearly three thousand high-quality spirit stones!

"What's so expensive about it?" Dugu Hao was also shocked. He took out the flying knife that Lin Bai used during the foundation-building period. "The one you used before was of the second-level upper middle level. This Fire Scale Concentrate is worth about fifty middle-grade spirit stones, and this one made of Green Gold is worth about seventy middle-grade spirit stones!"

So expensive? Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed normal.

Swords are used for killing, and no one dares to use inferior fakes, so they are not cheap. The Fire Scale Flying Knife used in the Qi Training Stage costs 200 low-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to two medium-grade spirit stones.

After the foundation was laid, the quality suddenly increased and became thirty or forty times more expensive.

Now that he had reached the Golden Core Realm, the things he used naturally went up a level. But a flying knife made of red crystal stone actually required ten high-grade spirit stones, which added up to more than a thousand medium-grade spirit stones, twenty to thirty times more expensive than when he was building his foundation.

After calculation, it is indeed necessary to have more than 3,000 high-grade spirit stones, but it is also because Lin Bai has made too many flying knives. An ordinary cultivator only needs three or five flying swords, and since there are fewer, it must be more expensive.

Lin Bai was pursuing quantity, so the quality naturally went down a bit.

"Sister Huanhuan, you are so nice, and Miss Jiang is also very nice." Only then did Lin Bai realize that he had been living off his wife too much and had become somewhat out of touch with the real world.

"If you are short of spirit stones now, that's fine. I know your background anyway. You are an alchemist and you are good at setting up formations. You can earn a few spirit stones in a few years." Dugu Hao pinched his eyebrows with two fingers and smiled, "In fact, I have quite a lot of family wealth."

After hearing this, Lin Bai knew that he could avoid spending spirit stones, but there must be conditions.

Are you asking for my seed again? I have already formed a pill, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to have children! Lin Bai had a headache and said, "Sir, please speak."

"No hurry, no hurry." Dugu Hao patted Lin Bai's shoulder and said, "Let's refine the flying knife first." He was actually very relieved.
