Chapter 845: Difficulties in Improving Craftsmanship
After successfully repelling the Demon Flame Sect and securing the Star Black Iron, the Immortal Sect's weapon refiners eagerly began using this rare material to create magical weapons. However, as the refining work progressed, a series of thorny difficulties gradually emerged.
The atmosphere in the Immortal Sect's weapon forging workshop was solemn. Elder Yanfeng frowned, staring at the unfinished magical weapon before him. It was a sword forged from star-shaped black iron, and while it should have radiated powerful spiritual energy, its glow was now dim. Beside him, Yichen also wore a distressed expression, clutching a carving knife with the remnants of an unfinished formation rune.
Lin Feng walked into the weapon refining workshop and saw the expressions on everyone's faces. He understood a little. He walked forward and asked, "Elder Yanfeng, Yichen, have you encountered any difficulties?"
Elder Yanfeng sighed and said, "Lin Feng, although this starry black iron is a peerless refining material, the star power it contains is extremely overbearing and difficult to tame. When we control the temperature to fuse its spiritual power, we are always unable to achieve a perfect balance, resulting in a significant reduction in the quality of the magic weapon." Elder Yanfeng's eyes were full of helplessness. He had refined countless weapons in his life, but he encountered unprecedented challenges in front of this starry black iron.
Yi Chen went on to say, "Brother, that's not all. When I tried to integrate the attack formation into the sword, I found that the spiritual power fluctuations of the star iron itself would interfere with the stability of the formation runes, making it difficult for the formation to exert its due power." Yi Chen shook his head slightly, his face full of frustration.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng said, "It seems that the road to improving the craft of refining is not smooth sailing. But we can't give up just like that. Elder Yan Feng, do you have any ideas on how to tame the spiritual power of the star iron?"
Elder Yanfeng frowned slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "Perhaps we can try to find an auxiliary material that can neutralize the power of the stars, allowing it to act as a buffer during the fusion process, thereby better controlling the temperature and spiritual power balance."
Lin Feng nodded and said, "This plan is feasible. Yichen, regarding the problem of the array runes being disturbed, do you think it can be solved by adjusting the rune structure or finding a special engraving method?"
Yi Chen's eyes lit up, and he said, "Brother, you reminded me. I can try to improve the rune structure so that it resonates with the spiritual energy fluctuations of the star iron instead of interfering with each other. However, this will require a lot of experiments and time."
Lin Feng encouraged, "Okay, you two will divide the work. Elder Yanfeng will be responsible for finding auxiliary materials, and Yichen will focus on improving the rune structure. Improving the Xianmen's refining technology depends on you. If you need anything, just let me know."
So, Elder Yan Feng and several of his disciples set out on a journey to find auxiliary materials based on ancient records. They headed to a place called "Lingze Valley," where it was said that various exotic spiritual plants grew, and perhaps they could find materials that could neutralize the power of the stars.
A light mist permeated the deep, secluded Lingze Valley, creating an eerie silence. Elder Yanfeng cautiously led his disciples forward, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings. "Everyone, be careful! This place may appear peaceful, but it harbors danger," Elder Yanfeng whispered.
Suddenly, a group of butterfly-like spirit insects, emitting a poisonous mist, flew out from the bushes and pounced on the crowd. These spirit insects were extremely fast and were in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
"Oh no, it's a poisonous butterfly! Cast a defensive spell quickly!" Elder Yanfeng shouted.
The disciples quickly unleashed their respective defensive spells, instantly forming a spiritual shield. The poisonous butterfly slammed into the shield, making a sizzling sound, and traces of corrosion began to appear on the shield's surface.
"The poisonous mist of this poisonous butterfly is extremely corrosive. Everyone, hold on!" Elder Yanfeng maintained the shield while looking for a countermeasure.
He observed that the poisonous butterflies seemed to be particularly sensitive to a particular type of spiritual energy fluctuation. "Try using wood-type spiritual energy to cast 'Green Wood Barrier,'" Elder Yanfeng shouted. "They are less resistant to wood-type spiritual energy!"
The disciples followed their instructions and cast the "Green Wood Barrier," and sure enough, the poisonous butterflies' attack was contained. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Elder Yanfeng cast the "Fresh Wind Whisk" spell, and a gust of wind blew the poisonous butterflies to pieces, freeing everyone from danger.
Continuing deeper into the valley, they finally discovered a spiritual plant called the "Ice Soul Leaf." This plant emitted a soft blue light, seemingly possessing the ability to calm spiritual energy. Elder Yanfeng's eyes flashed with surprise: "That's it! Perhaps this is the auxiliary material we're looking for."
Meanwhile, in the Xianmen Weapon Refining Workshop, Yi Chen was working tirelessly to refine the rune structure. He tried one method after another, and after countless failures, he finally found a new rune arrangement. When he inscribed this rune on a piece of ore with a spiritual power similar to that of Star Black Iron, the rune and the ore's spiritual power resonated wonderfully.
"Success!" Yi Chen jumped up excitedly, a joyful smile on his face.
However, just as the Xianmen sect was making progress in refining its weapon, another trouble arose. A mysterious organization called the Shadow Alliance, upon learning that the Xianmen sect was struggling to create a powerful magical weapon, sought to seize the opportunity to attack the sect and weaken its power.
The members of the Shadow Alliance took advantage of the night and quietly sneaked into the Immortal Gate. With their agility, like ghosts, they dodged the layers of guards at the Immortal Gate and headed straight for the weapon refining workshop.
Yi Chen, who was researching in the weapon refining workshop, suddenly sensed a strange aura. He was startled: "Oh no! Enemies are sneaking in!"
Yi Chen quickly activated the defensive formation in the weapon refining workshop and shouted loudly: "Enemy attack! Quick, help!"
Seeing their whereabouts exposed, the members of the Shadow Alliance no longer hid and emerged one after another. Leading the group was a masked man in black. He sneered, "Yi Chen, today marks the end of the Immortal Sect's weapon-refining technology!"
After that, the man in black waved his hand, and the members of the Shadow Alliance cast dark spells and attacked the weapon refining workshop. Yi Chen was not afraid at all, and cast his most powerful defensive spell, "Spirit Shield Guard." A spiritual shield appeared in front of him, blocking the attack of the dark spell.
"You despicable guys, don't even think about destroying the efforts of the Immortal Sect!" Yi Chen shouted angrily.
At this time, Lin Feng and others also noticed the unusual movement in the weapon refinery and quickly rushed to support. Lin Feng looked at the enemy in front of him and said angrily: "Shadow Alliance, you are so bold, you dare to act wildly in the Immortal Gate!"
The battle erupted instantly. Lin Feng rushed towards the man in black, unleashing his "Sword Controlling the Universe" technique. A powerful sword energy slashed towards him. The man in black quickly deployed his dark shield to block the attack. The sword energy collided with the shield, unleashing a powerful surge of spiritual energy.
Su Yao arrived with the ice disciples and cast "Ice and Snow". The entire weapon refining workshop was instantly covered with ice and snow, and the members of the Shadow Alliance began to move slowly.
Jian Chen brandished his sword and rushed into the enemy group, performing "Sword Shadows". His sword moves followed him like a shadow, leaving the members of the Shadow Alliance overwhelmed.
Seeing the situation was dire, the man in black decided to personally deal with Lin Feng. He unleashed "Shadow Kill," sending a black beam of light piercing like a blade towards Lin Feng. Lin Feng quickly dodged sideways and simultaneously unleashed "Sword Breaking the Sky," slashing a devastating sword beam towards the man in black.
The man in black resisted with all his might, but Lin Feng's sword was too powerful. His dark spell was instantly broken, and he was knocked away by the sword.
Seeing their leader defeated, the other members of the Shadow Alliance fled. Lin Feng looked at the departing enemies and said, "It won't be that easy to disrupt the development of the Immortal Sect!"
After this battle, the Xianmen sect's resolve to improve their craft has been strengthened. Elder Yanfeng returns to the Xianmen sect with the "Ice Soul Leaf" and reunites with Yichen. They will continue to overcome the challenges of refining their craft, striving to create powerful magical weapons and make the Xianmen sect even more powerful in the world of immortal cultivation.
