[Chapter 56: Refining Stone]

"It's been such a long time," the man said. "I don't know when he will wake up."

"Although his injuries are very serious, he has miraculously recovered very quickly these days." The gentleman said, "According to this recovery speed, he will be able to wake up in the next few days."

"This man is really hard to see through." The man looked at Zhou Kutian and said, "I don't know how many unknown secrets he has hidden in him."

"This person is unfathomable. This means that my Wei family will not die tomorrow." The gentleman said, "We will also deal with the matter there as soon as possible. I will instruct the maids here to take good care of them."

"Well, I'll personally tell the maids to take good care of them." The man glanced at the sleeping Zhou Kutian and said, "Although this person is unfathomable, after all, this is just a future plan."

With that said, the two left the room and asked the maid to take good care of him.

After a while, Zhao Zhen said, "Everyone has left. I will connect all your meridians now. You have to endure the pain."

"Okay." After saying that, Zhou Yutian calmed down and prepared for the severe pain that was about to come.

However, after Zhao Zhen connected all the meridians, Zhou Wutian gritted his teeth tightly, but what was unexpected was that the expected pain did not appear.

Although he felt a little strange, Zhou Yutian got out of bed and began to move his limbs. Apart from some inflexibility, there was nothing unusual about him.

Just when Zhou Wu was about to ask why he didn't feel pain, a sharp pain directly pushed Zhou Wutian, who was originally jumping up and down, to the ground.

His teeth were chattering and he was trembling all over. At the beginning, he could still roll a few times and make a couple of groans, but later he didn't even roll anymore, only the whole body was trembling continuously.

I couldn't cry, I couldn't shout, I couldn't even shed tears, I just couldn't stop the pain and shaking all over my body.

This feeling is like being burned in a raging fire, but you can't feel the heat of the flames at all, and are replaced by a deathly coldness. As the saying goes, things must be reversed when they reach their extremes.

If you were an ordinary person, if you were in such pain, you would at least be unconscious, if not unconscious.

However, Zhou Wutian's realm has reached a transcendent level, and he has cultivated for such a long time. His current mental state is excellent. In addition, Zhao Zhen used the best method to connect Zhou Wutian's meridians, so Zhou Wutian's perception is even more acute.

Already.

As a result, the pain Zhou Yutian felt was not only very clear, but he was also very conscious, and he couldn't even cry out. It can be said that he had fallen into a point where he could not live but die. It was so painful,

Only he and the devils being tortured in hell can understand.

I don't know how much time passed, but Zhou Yutian was woken up by the sound of scolding outside. When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was already lying on the bed, and a man in luxurious clothes was scolding two maids outside.

Only then did Zhou Yutian remember what happened before, so he wanted to sit up, but he felt sore and weak all over. Halfway up, he suddenly fell back on the bed.

When the man heard the noise, he quickly came over. The maid stepped forward and gently helped Zhou Kutian up, and stuffed the pillow behind Zhou Kutian's back so that Zhou Kutian could sit up.

"How is your health?" the man asked.

"My health is almost healed." Zhou Yutian said, "Thank you for saving me this time, I will definitely repay you in the future."

"Don't talk about repaying anything in return." The man waved his hand and said, "The fact that you can compete with the Julong Peak on your own is enough for me, Wei Qing, to make you my friend."

"It turns out he is the prince of Jiucheng." Zhou Wutian said with his hands raised, "Disrespectful, disrespectful."

"Uh." Wei Qing was a little surprised by Zhou Yutian's behavior. Not to mention that Zhou Yutian knew his identity as the prince, Zhou Yutian's behavior clearly did not have the feeling of a commoner seeing a prince, which made Wei Qing feel a little surprised.

However, after Wei Qing's conversation with Chu Jiang of the Proud Sword Regiment, he was asked by his husband to take a few lessons because of his impetuous behavior. Therefore, this time he did not express his inner thoughts directly on his face, but said calmly.

, "I wonder what this friend's name is? Would you like to be my friend?"

"Under the bright moon." Zhou Yutian also raised his hands and said, "Thanks to the prince for saving me this time, I really don't dare to reach high."

"Brother Mingyue, you are looking down on me when you say this." Wei Qing said, "Is it just because of my status that I don't want to be friends with a secular person like me? I have no choice but to be forced by my family."

He looked like he was sighing.

"Brother Wei said something serious." Zhou Yutian said, "If Brother Wei doesn't mind, how about being a gentleman?" As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and made a fist.

"What a gentleman." After saying this, Wei Qing smiled and extended his fist to fist bump with Zhou Yutian.

The next day, Zhou Kutian met the man called Mr. Wei Qing and the gentleman from Tianze Academy. On the surface, Wei Qing and the gentleman arranged for Zhou Kutian to enter Tianze Academy, ostensibly to allow Zhou Kutian to avoid the pursuit of Huilong Pavilion. In fact, it was

I want to take this opportunity to keep Zhou Wutian here.

Although Zhou Yutian knew the intentions of the two, it was difficult to expose them. At the same time, because he needed a safe place to practice in peace of mind, he agreed.

Although Wei Qing arranged a room for Zhou Yutian close to his residence, Zhou Yutian chose a secluded room near the corner and stayed here because he liked peace and quiet.

Daily matters were handled by the maids and guards. Zhou Wutian just read books, played with cats, and understood the meridians of some magic spells every day. Zhao Zhen went into seclusion again in the space mark. However, at Zhou Wutian's strong request,

Next, this time I gave Zhou Kutian a cloth with patterns, so that if Zhou Kutian had to tear it apart in an emergency, he would come out of seclusion to help.

I learned that the main purpose of ‘Mr.’ and Wei Qing’s coming to the Kong area this time was to recruit students for Tianze Academy. They also gave them some ideas and expressed their own views and opinions.

Zhou Yutian has no other talents, but his photographic memory is the ability to read all the books in the Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, his several remarks made 'Mr.' and Wei Qing instantly look at him with admiration and praised him repeatedly.

When Zhou Wutian's meridians were almost recovered, the seal left by Zhao Zhen was also partially unlocked. Although the attack and defense spells could not be used, some recovery spells could also be used.

Late one night, after Zhou Yutian scanned the surrounding area with his 'consciousness immersion', and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he took out the cauldron that Hu Li had originally bought from the room.

This time, Zhou Wutian's realm has fully met the requirements for smelting. Although his attribute achievements are far worse than when Qingfeng was here, he has far far reached the conditions for smelting soul stones.

Moreover, when Zhou Yutian realized the reincarnation, he experienced many smelting things in the reincarnation. Although he was awakened by Zhao Zhen after failing to break through the reincarnation, those memories became a dream-like existence, but there are still some residual feelings left.

After finishing it, this was of great help to Zhou Yutian's smelting.

After once again confirming that there was nothing abnormal around him, Zhou Yutian began to impregnate the furnace cauldron with his consciousness. Although Qingfeng had been impregnated once before when he tried to smelt the soul stone, Mingyue at that time did not understand these things at all.

It can be said that this is Mingyue's first attempt, but compared to Qingfeng's time, the starting point is much higher.

After Zhou Yutian's consciousness was immersed in it, he quickly understood all the contents of this cauldron, but it was slightly different from what Qingfeng said at the time.

Although the pattern on the cauldron only has one turn, it is still much stronger than those cauldrons without patterns. After all, Zhou Yutian has not yet learned how to make treasures, so he cannot cast Horcruxes by himself.

At the beginning of the smelting, Zhou Yutian sat quietly for some time. While adjusting his mental state, he ran the recovery spell and slowly started the Fire Sitting Technique. Because Zhao Zhen prohibited Zhou Yutian from using the 'Qimen Heart Sutra', he could only operate it little by little.

The Fire-Sitting Technique consumes more energy and time than directly executing the Fire-Sitting Technique after absorbing enough vitality with the Qimen Heart Sutra.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of time and vitality, so after spending some time, the Fire Sitting Technique was activated, and vitality continued to flow to Zhou Kutian. Because of the miraculous effect of the Fire Sitting Technique, Zhou Kutian directly absorbed the vitality from his Dantian.

The fire-attributed energy was then injected into the cauldron. The pattern on the furnace glowed bright red the moment the fire-attributed energy was injected into it. The fiery red patterns made the cauldron look particularly charming.

.

Subsequently, the fire-attributed vitality poured into the interior of the furnace from the patterns on the inside of the furnace, igniting a ferocious fire. This kind of flame transformed from the vitality was much more brilliant than ordinary flames.

Zhou Yutian took out the soul mineral from the 'space mark', threw it directly into the furnace, and then used his consciousness to control the flames.

After the soul mine was put into the furnace, it did not fall directly to the bottom of the furnace, but was gently caught by the flames in the furnace, just like a boat in the sea of ​​fire.

As time went by, the soul ore in the furnace began to slowly melt. Because it was Zhou Wutian's first time to try it, the whole process seemed cautious and slow.

After the soul stone melted into a liquid state, it was still dancing in the flames, like an elf in the fire. The other impurities in the soul mine were also melted, and were slowly gathered together by Zhou Yaotian's consciousness, and gradually merged with the soul mine.

separated.

Soul stone is the collective name for soul mineral extracts. During the initial smelting, due to various reasons, the extraction of soul minerals has been stuck at the soul stone level, and there has been no progress for a long time.

It was not until later that soul gold, soul jade, and the legendary soul crystal gradually appeared. However, people were used to the name soul stone, so all the extracts of the soul mine were called soul stones. Moreover,

Soul stones are also the basic unit for measuring vitality.

Each step of extracting soul ore has a different process, which can be divided into: stone refining, gold casting, jade forging, and crystal condensation. Different methods represent different processes and different degrees of difficulty.

Each extract is also divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower depending on the degree of molding.

What Zhou Yutian is currently doing is refining stone, which is just to separate the impurities from the soul ore and throw them away.

After the soul stone and impurities were completely separated, Zhou Yaotian manipulated the flame to let the impurities fall to the bottom of the furnace, while the liquid of the soul stone was still dancing on the flames.

After that, Zhou Yutian carefully lowered the temperature slowly, and the soul stone began to condense and slowly became solid.

"Dang." With a crisp sound, the soul stone was condensed and fell to the bottom of the furnace. The special structure of the furnace bottom allowed the soul stone and impurities to be separated into two places without interfering with each other.

In the first attempt, he got a medium-sized soul stone. No matter where he placed it, it was already a very good result. However, Zhou Yaotian was not very satisfied with it. Because only high-quality soul stones can be cast into gold and turned into souls.

Gold. Therefore, after adjusting his breath, Zhou Kutian began to smelt again.

It was late at night, and there were bursts of insects chirping outside the house. From time to time, there were several barking dogs in a deep alley in Xiwang Town. The watchmen banged their clappers, reminding the sleepless people of this late night.

time is passing in.

After Zhou Yutian tried many times, he only reached the level of high-grade soul stone a few times. Although Zhou Yutian was very confused at first, he later discovered the problem.

The main problem lies in the furnace cauldron. Although it has the pattern of a one-turn furnace cauldron, it is not perfect, making it impossible to separate all impurities in some locations when refining the stone.

After learning about this situation, Zhou Yutian stopped. He put away the furnace cauldron, the soul stone and the slag, and went to bed.

During the day, Zhou Wutian didn't get up until the sun was shining on his buttocks.

After dinner, meditate on the Five Thunder Golden Body and find out what spells you can use.

In the afternoon, Zhou Kutian talked with "Sir" and Wei Qing about some ways of governing the country. Although Zhou Kutian copied them from the book and added some of his own opinions, "Sir" and Wei Qing praised them every time.

Late at night, Zhou Yutian began to smelt soul stones to improve his proficiency.

In this way, my life is quite leisurely.

One day during the day, Zhou Yutian didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning as usual, but Wei Qing and "Sir" were waiting in the main room early.

"What? What do you two want today?" Zhou Yutian said lazily, appearing to be very familiar with the two of them.

"Brother Mingyue, I really need to ask you a favor." Wei Qing said, "I wonder if Brother Mingyue is interested."

"Brother Wei, you're welcome." Zhou Yutian said, "If you can help, just ask, but I'm afraid I'm not capable enough and I won't be able to help much."

"You are really happy, little friend." "Sir" said, "Tomorrow is our Tianze Academy's annual enrollment time, and it is also the main purpose of the two of us coming here."

"Senior, what do you mean?" Zhou Yutian asked.

"When the time comes, please ask my friends to help us select some capable talents," said 'Mr.

"For such an important matter, I really don't have the ability." Zhou Yutian said.

"Brother Mingyue, don't be humble." Wei Qing said, "I think this matter is settled. I also ask Brother Mingyue to get up earlier tomorrow."
