Chapter 107: Brand New Magical Instrument
Although Diao Wuzheng is very powerful, there is no point in thinking too much. Mo Juren is confident that he can catch up with him with his own strength.
Right now, I have to get the magic weapon that can enhance my strength first.
After encouraging himself in this way, he gathered his thoughts and left the tavern, preparing to go to the magic weapon shop to find Master Zhang, and then he would consider leaving the market.
Mo Juren walked quickly to the magic weapon shop. Master Zhang and his apprentice were already waiting in the shop. When they saw Mo Juren, they said,
"Little brother, you are here. The forging effect is good this time. The sword, needle and shield have all been successfully refined. Disciple, bring out the things quickly."
When Mo Juren thought of this rough-looking man as a second-level weapon refiner in the foundation-building period, he immediately said respectfully,
"Great, thank you Master Zhang."
The red-faced and sturdy apprentice opened the inner room and brought out an iron plate, on which were a sword, three needles and a small shield.
Mo Juren's face was full of anticipation. He saw that the small sword on the iron plate was about two feet long, similar to the Chi Lei Sword hanging on the wall, but the sword body was shiny black, the sword tip was sharp, but the two edges were blunt.
The sword body is decorated with bright silver cloud patterns covering both sides of the sword body, and is matched with an ancient rectangular sword guard with a concave shape, which is integrated with the round hilt. The shape is simple and compact.
Master Zhang picked up the sword and flicked the blade, which emitted a wave of sound. He introduced it with a little pride,
"The base material of this sword is finely forged silver and black steel ingots, mixed with three parts of black iron and a trace of light gold. The sword body is tough yet light, and the reason why it has no edge is to give full play to the heavy and hard characteristics of black iron."
"There are four array patterns engraved inside, which can be driven at will, attached with magic power, and transformed into virtual or real changes. Although it is not as powerful as the Thunder Sword, it is better in its toughness and changes. It can be said that they have their own merits."
Mo Juren already knew something about refining weapons. The main reason why magic weapons are different from ordinary weapons is that they can be injected with magic power, which can change the function of the weapon, such as making it sharper, stronger, or drawing qi to hurt the enemy, or changing spells, etc.
The grades of magic weapons are divided into primary, intermediate and advanced levels. Primary level generally has only one or two array patterns, intermediate level has three to four, and advanced level has at least five or more. There are also so-called top-grade magic weapons above that.
Of course, above the magic tools there are magic treasures, spiritual treasures and so on. These are generally used by the Jindan predecessors and Yuanying ancestors. It is still a long way to go for the Qi-refining cultivators like Mo Juren.
Master Zhang finished explaining the characteristics of this new magic weapon, and then handed the sword to Mo Juren.
"It's not convenient to test the sword here. You can inject your magic power to explore it first and see the array pattern. As for its true power, haha, I believe I won't let you down in the future."
Mo Juren took it carefully, and as Master Zhang said, he injected some magic power into the sword. He immediately saw that the sword was connected to him, as if he had an extra hand that could control him to fly out of the body at any time.
On the sword body, one can indeed sense four magic power points. As long as one injects magic power into them respectively, the function of the magic weapon will change.
Mo Juren casually swung the sword a few times in the air. The sword naturally felt heavier than the soft steel sword at his waist, but not so heavy that it hindered his control.
It's just that it can no longer transform into a soft sword, so it loses some of its magic. I need to get used to this in the future, but I am very satisfied with it for now.
Master Zhang saw Mo Juren's delighted expression and asked,
"The sword is nameless, what name would you like to give it?"
Mo Juren saw Master Zhang's eager eyes and knew that he might have had an idea, so he said,
"This sword was made by Master Zhang himself. Master Zhang is naturally the one who knows its true nature best. Please give it a name, Master Zhang."
"Haha, little brother, you are so straightforward," Master Zhang said with a smile, "How about calling it 'Xuan Guang'?"
"Xuan Guang?...Xuan Guang, the sword is dark in color, the sword patterns are bright, it changes from virtual to real, and there is light in the mystery. Good! This is the name. Thank you Master Zhang." Mo Juren was very satisfied with Xuan Guang. After putting the sword down first, he looked at the three red needles.
Master Zhang immediately introduced,
"With the extra half of the golden rat stone tooth, the three needle-shaped magic tools, the third array pattern that was originally ruined, has now been successfully activated during the repair process, and an additional concealment function has been added. This thing is really a sharp weapon to sneak up on people, not bad."
Mo Juren was overjoyed and said,
"This is really a pleasant surprise. Thank you Master Zhang for your amazing healing skills."
The last one is the small black iron shield. Master Zhang said,
"This shield has not changed much. The two original array patterns have been completely repaired. I just mixed a bit of black iron into it during the repair, which increased the defensive power by more than half. This was refined by my apprentice, and it was done quite well."
Mo Juren picked it up and tried it a little. After injecting magic power, the two array patterns inside were clear and correct, so he was satisfied.
"Great! I never thought that Master Zhang's disciple also had such a way of refining weapons. I admire you so much."
The red-faced man laughed a few times but did not answer.
"In that case, then little brother, please keep the three magic weapons. As for the remaining matter of calculating the spirit stones, disciple, you just need to hand it over to little brother."
After Master Zhang finished speaking, he opened the inner door and went into the equipment refining room deep underground.
The red-faced man followed the rules of the magic weapon shop and charged an additional 72 spirit stones for the refining fee, based on the price of two mid-level and one initial-level fine magic weapons.
In other words, if you count the materials, the Xuanguan Sword cost about two hundred and thirty spirit stones, and the red thread needle and the black iron small shield cost more than fifty spirit stones to repair and upgrade. It is still much more economical than directly purchasing a mid-level magic weapon.
Before leaving, Mo Juren took another look at the Xingyun Boat hanging on the wall, which was priced at one thousand spirit stones. He could use this thing and could afford it.
But considering that many parties might need the spiritual stone in the future, he gave up the urge to take it away in one go.
In this case, if you want to try out the three new magical weapons, you have to leave the market first.
Mo Juren walked out of the magic weapon shop. The market was still bustling with people, and the monks setting up stalls were busy.
Looking at them, they seem to be immortal cultivators with great magical powers. However, if you think about it carefully, they are no different from ordinary mortals in the market, all busy trying to survive.
Thinking of this, I remembered the girl who tried desperately to find a way to exchange a few more bottles of Huanglongdan for her brother.
The last time he passed by the stall, the brother and sister were not there.
At this moment, Mo Juren was in high spirits because he had obtained the magic weapon, so he strolled around the garden and slowly approached the stall where he had been the owner for a while.
The person standing behind the stall was none other than the beautiful girl Han Yunzhi.
At this time, she was bargaining with a thin middle-aged monk who was buying talisman paper. The buyer wanted to buy thirty pieces of talisman paper for two spirit stones. The girl disagreed, and she angrily put her hands on her waist and said loudly,
"No, I made each piece of this talisman paper by hand, and I only sell it for twelve pieces for one spirit stone. Now you want thirty pieces for two spirit stones, I will lose a lot of money."
