Being able to refine magical treasures also means that Zhang Ling's weapon refining level has reached a new level.
The reason why magical treasures are difficult to refine is that, in addition to the mastery of materials, the most important thing is to master those intermediate and advanced engraved spiritual patterns.
Once these spiritual patterns are imprinted on the materials, it means that the materials are finalized. Basically, it will not change. The main function of spiritual patterns is to transmit the spiritual power of monks, which is equivalent to the meridians of magical treasures.
Only when all these spiritual patterns are unobstructed can a connection be established with the magic weapon, so that the full power of the magic weapon can be exerted.
Then Zhang Ling left the earth fire house, he still went to the spiritual medicine field first, and looked at the gourd vine. More than half a year has passed since then, and this gourd vine has been completely withered, and it seems that it is no longer growing.
Zhang Ling did not hesitate, and directly picked all the gourds on it, and did not let go of the gourd vine.
After putting away the gourds and leaving, Zhang Ling thought about it and turned back and took out a white jade bottle, from which he poured out a dozen light cyan flat seeds.
These were the gourd seeds he had previously picked from two small gourds. These cyan gourd seeds were different from the black gourd seeds he had originally obtained.
Zhang Ling thought that it was caused by different years, so he didn't care, and planted all these seeds in the medicine field.
Then he left the medicine field. In the next half month, he would not stay on Fire Cloud Island, but went to Vientiane City.
When he returned to the cave again, the spirit stones on his body were almost spent. This time, he collected a lot of treasure refining materials. Among them, there are several rare spirit mines. Counting the materials collected before and after, he barely gathered two basic materials for refining natal magic weapons.
For ordinary monks, the most difficult thing to refine natal magic weapons is the collection of main materials, and other auxiliary materials can only be collected after spending a period of time.
When Zhang Ling returned to the cave, an interlude happened. The cyan gourd seeds he planted before did not germinate, which shocked him.
In the past ten days, Zhang Ling naturally gave the white ape puppet an order to urge it with the mysterious small beads once. There was no effect at all.
Zhang Ling naturally wouldn't think that the mysterious kid had lost its effect. It was very likely that these gourd seeds had lost their activity.
This scene made Zhang Ling feel a little bit worried about personal gains and losses and a little depressed for a while. Could it be that these seeds can only grow once?
In order to verify the doubts in his heart, Zhang Ling went straight into the earth fire house. He directly dug open several gourds of different sizes and obtained hundreds of gourd seeds, but without exception, these gourd seeds were all cyan and none of them were black.
In the next month, Zhang Ling was studying these gourd seeds, but none of them survived.
For this reason, he also specially selected a dozen gourd seeds and crushed them directly to check. What shocked him was that these gourd seeds were solid, and the inside was also cyan, which was completely different from ordinary gourd seeds.
In this process, he found that these gourd seeds were very hard, even harder than ordinary metal materials.
Zhang Ling also verified this with other materials and looked through many ancient books. Whether it was a book specifically introducing gourd-like spiritual plants or ancient books, there was no more introduction to the Two Instruments Gourd.
However, I also found a saying that can explain this phenomenon. An ancient book introduced some special spiritual plants. Once the roots and stems are picked, they will turn into fly ash. Even if there are seeds left in the fruit, most of them are dead and cannot be cultivated to survive.
Only this explanation is somewhat similar to the planted cyan gourd seeds.
Although he was depressed, Zhang Ling was not discouraged. After sorting out his mood, he began to deal with these large and small gourds.
In addition to the Two Instruments Gourd, a total of twenty-one gourds of different sizes were obtained. The largest one was as tall as an adult, with a layer of blue light flowing on it. The smallest gourd was only the size of a thumb.
He opened and processed all these gourds, and obtained thousands of cyan gourd seeds alone.
Zhang Ling also roughly figured out some tricks about these gourds with only white aura or cyan aura.
These gourds, like those gourd seeds, are very hard. It took him more than two months to process these gourds alone.
Zhang Ling did a lot of in-depth research on the cyan aura or white aura on the gourd.
As for how to study it, the simplest way is to directly refine the two small gourds collected before with pill fire.
This kind of situation where materials are directly refined with pill fire is also recorded in some ancient books. It is said that the simplest and most crude method for human race cultivators to refine natal magic weapons at the beginning was this.
This method actually directly omits the step of refining treasures, and treats the materials as magic weapons and uses pill fire to practice them.
The only disadvantage of this method is that the materials have not been processed, and the mental energy spent on practicing is doubled. Other than that, it is the same as practicing natal magic weapons.
After all, there are many impurities in some materials. If they are not processed, the power will be weakened when used.
Doing so is naturally to understand the characteristics of these two groups of spiritual energy, so that you can be more confident in refining the Two Instruments Gourd.
With the passage of time, more than a year has passed, and Zhang Ling has completed the refining of the two small gourds with pill fire.
The two small gourds that have been refined can now be stored in hisdantian.
As long as Zhang Ling wants, these two gourds can actually be used as his natal magic weapon. It's just that these two gourds are too small, and the power may not be enough as a natal magic weapon.
Zhang Ling also has a deeper understanding of the cyan aura and white aura on the two small gourds.
The cyan aura can be continuously compressed, and the compressed cyan aura can also be used as an attack method, but the power of direct attack is not great.
White aura can also be compressed and used for attack, and it seems to have the same effect as cyan aura. The difference is that white aura can emit a special white light, which seems to be some kind of light mist.
Zhang Ling also tested the effect of the light mist, but only found that being in the white light mist made the body a little lighter and had a sense of transcendence.
White light mist can also be used to attack, but the power is only equivalent to ordinary spell attacks. It cannot be used for defense either. It is not even as good as the simplest body protection aura.
As for whether there are other special effects, Zhang Ling doesn't understand.
After roughly understanding the attributes of these two different spiritual powers, Zhang Ling also has a general idea of the design of his natal magic weapon.
In the following period of time, he went to Vientiane City several times from time to time, and also entered and exited Canyue Peak several times, where he also collected several quite precious materials.
