Mortals ask the immortals

When Ou Yezi asked about his spiritual treasure, Duan Qing nodded subconsciously.

"Yes, the flying sword I use is indeed made by myself."

Ou Yezi was not surprised at all, and then asked: "Can you show it to me?"

Duan Qing thought about it, took out a Moxu sword and handed it to Ou Yezi.

It is normal for refiners to communicate with each other, and there is nothing wrong with looking at each other's spiritual treasures.

And after a few days of getting along, Duan Qing knew that Ou Yezi's refinement level was very high, and he also wanted Ou Yezi to give his Moxu sword some advice.

Ou Yezi took the Moxu sword from Duan Qing and looked at it carefully, nodding while looking at it.

"Well, not bad, very good, the material strength has reached the level of fairy spiritual treasures."

Suddenly, Ou Yezi found something wrong and was surprised: "Hey, why is it just a sword embryo?"

"Haha, the junior only refined the sword embryo." Duan Qing explained with a smile.

"Why not engrave the spiritual pattern? Such a masterpiece is only a sword embryo. It's a pity!" Ou Yezi sighed as he looked at the Moxu sword in his hand.

"Because I haven't decided yet, how to complete this flying sword." Duan Qing couldn't help but feel a little headache when he mentioned this.

Duan Qing has always been unable to make up his mind whether to use the spirit pattern engraving method or the heart refining method to make the sword embryo of Moxu Sword.

Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage of the spirit pattern engraving method is that it can complete a small batch of flying swords in a short time. The disadvantage is that before completion, the Moxu Sword will be in an uneven state, part of which is a complete spiritual treasure, and part of it is a sword embryo, which will affect the performance of the Xuansu Sword Formation to some extent.

The advantage of the heart refining method is that it is evenly balanced. Using the gourd sword to collectively warm it up will keep the Moxu Sword from the sword embryo to the complete spiritual treasure.

However, compared with the former, the heart refining method will take a little longer, at least more than ten years, while engraving spirit patterns should take less than ten years.

After hearing Duan Qing say that he couldn't decide which method to use, Ou Yezi immediately reacted and asked, "Duan, do you know other methods besides the spiritual pattern burning method?"

This surprised Ou Yezi. In the way of refining, the most popular method in the Immortal Spirit Alliance is only one spiritual pattern burning method, which can turn the embryo into a complete spiritual treasure.

In addition, although there are several other methods, those methods are all top secrets of some major forces in the Immortal Spirit Alliance and cannot be spread outside.

With his refining attainments, before being imprisoned in the Black Prison, he only mastered a more special spiritual pattern burning method. Duan Qing, who is only a spiritual life realm, actually mastered two methods.

Duan Qing knew Ou Yezi's refining level, and did not hide it. He said directly: "In addition to the spiritual pattern burning method, I also know the demon race's heart refining method."

Heart refining!

Ou Yezi smiled dumbly, with a very strange expression.

Seeing this, Duan Qing tried to ask: "Does Senior Ou also know this method?"

Ou Yezi nodded helplessly: "Yes, this method was obtained by me in exchange with the city lord after I was trapped in the Black Prison."

After hearing what Ou Yezi said, Duan Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

He deliberately mentioned the method of heart refining to Ou Yezi, mainly to listen to Ou Yezi's advice, so as to decide which one to choose.

But the method of heart refining was taught by his master Mu Yu, and he could not teach it to outsiders. Originally, he was worried that Ou Yezi would ask him for this method after knowing that he knew heart refining. Now it seems that he thought too much.

"According to your opinion, what method should I use to complete this Moxu Sword?" Duan Qing asked Ou Yezi with a smile.

Without thinking, Ou Yezi responded directly: "Of course it is the spirit pattern recording method."

"Although the heart refining method is a secret of the four holy tribes of the demon race, it is better than the spirit pattern recording method in some aspects, but it takes too long. It is really unnecessary for you to use the heart refining method for this Moxu sword."

Duan Qing smiled bitterly, took out more than 100 other Moxu sword embryos that he had refined and placed them in front of him, with a distressed look on his face.

Looking at the sword embryos on the ground, Ou Yezi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, with a flash of embarrassment on his face.

With his weapon refining attainments, even if Duan Qing didn't explain, he could understand why Duan Qing couldn't make up his mind which method to use.

Because it is indeed difficult to choose.

If there is only one sword embryo, then there is no doubt that the spirit pattern recording method is the best choice.

But with so many sword embryos, the time difference between the spirit pattern recording method and the heart refining method is not much.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Ou Yezi's mind.

This may be a good opportunity to verify his conjecture.

Thinking of this, Ou Yezi smiled mysteriously: "Hehe, kid, you are lucky!"

"What do you mean by this, senior?" Duan Qing stared at Ou Yezi in confusion.

"Because...!"

As soon as Ou Yezi said the word "because", he heard a melodious bell ringing in the city without any warning.

Duan Qing didn't feel anything when he heard the bell, but Ou Yezi sighed helplessly and held back the rest of his words.

Seeing Ou Yezi's expression, Duan Qing also realized that something might have happened, and his mood became heavy.

"Follow me!"

Ou Yezi said to Duan Qing in a low voice with some depression, and then called other busy cultivators in the weapon refining workshop, and left the weapon refining workshop with a solemn face and rushed to the city gate.

Duan Qing collected all the Moxu sword embryos and left the weapon refining workshop, only to find that a transparent shield had risen above the Xianling City.

When Duan Qing followed Ou Yezi to the city wall, there were already nearly a thousand people on the wall, and more people were coming from the city one after another.

On the plain outside the city wall, thousands of people gathered in a black mass, attacking the shield of Xianling City by various means.

Duan Qing looked carefully and found that there were all kinds of people in the crowd outside the city, including the Qingfa Sui people, the human race and the demon race, which could be said to be a mixed bag.

What is going on!

When Ou Yezi saw the situation outside the city, he showed an expression that was as expected. Seeing Duan Qing's puzzled face, he explained in a voice transmission: "These people outside are scavengers in the Black Prison!"

"The so-called scavengers are a general term for all people except the five major forces. These people are unwilling to join any force, wandering alone or in groups, and are the lowest level of existence in the Black Prison."

"Scavengers occupy more than half of the number of people in the Black Prison. Although there are many people, most of them have low cultivation levels, and they are mixed, so it is difficult for them to become powerful."

"However, some scavengers will gather from time to time, and when the five major forces go out to collect nectar, they will sneak attack the base camps of the five major forces and harass them."

Ou Yezi's voice was very calm, and it was obvious that he was used to it.

At this point, Ou Yezi glanced at the thousands of scavengers outside the city and said with some disdain: "There are too few scavengers this time. Most of them can't even break through the defense formation of my Xianling City."

As he said this, Ou Yezi yawned with some lack of interest: "Ah, I'll go back to the weapon refining workshop first. If you are interested, just watch the excitement here."
