Chapter 21: Refining Spiritual Soldiers

  "Refining Pavilion?" The cold prompt tone of the system caused a huge question mark to appear in Fang Yan's mind.

  Fang Yan itself has a Xianjie system, the Xianjie system maintains the operation of the game "Xianjie", the Xianjie system is just a server, with all kinds of functions, materials dropped by monsters, weapons discovered in exploration, even Xianqi are all refined by the Lianqi Pavilion of the Xianjie system.

  Originally, Fang Yan thought that the Xianjie system was just an auxiliary cultivation system, but he didn't expect something like the Lianqi Pavilion to exist. Once activated, it's equivalent to having a mobile arsenal. With sufficient materials, he would become the most powerful equipment master in the Xiuzhen world. From now on, he wouldn't have to worry about not having suitable weapons anymore.

  "It won't work, the Refining Pavilion can't be activated yet. If it's activated, all the refining materials on this Blood Blade Mantis will disappear. What should I do?" Thinking that Tao Hui and Fu Qingxuan were still by his side, Fang Yan didn't want them to notice anything unusual about him, so after a brief moment of surprise, he quickly calmed down.

  "This corpse of the Blood Blade Mantis is too large, it's a Desolate Strange Species, bringing it with us would only be a burden." Fang Yan frowned as he looked at the massive corpse of the Blood Blade Mantis.

  "Ah, this Blood Blade Mantis is a good thing, but without spatial storage equipment, we can't even carry it away." Fu Qingxuan also frowned upon hearing this. Now, they still had two major enemies, Gao Jin and Wang Yanran, and it was impossible to thoroughly search for good things in the Sword Grave's space. They could only pick up important things and leave this place.

  This is also why every time a trial begins, the three major families will send many people into this Sword Grave space. The more people there are, the more resources they can naturally bring out.

  "It seems that the corpse of this Blood Blade Mantis can only be abandoned." Fang Yan was following the trend.

  "For now it can only be like this, if possible, we can hide it and let someone take it away when they have time." Fu Qingxuan nodded in agreement.

  "All right, you rest here for a while, I'll hide them away and have someone come to get them when we leave." Fang Yan said.

  As Fang Yan's voice fell, he dragged the two corpses of the Blood Blade Mantis towards the other side of the valley. After walking about a hundred feet away, Fang Yan threw the two corpses to the ground and closed his eyes, opening the Xianjing system template in his mind.

  "Activate Alchemy Pavilion." Fang Yan opened the system panel and then gave the command to activate the Alchemy Pavilion.

  "Activating the Refining Pavilion requires 100 experience points and a fourth-grade refining material. Does the host confirm activation?" The cold system prompt sounded suddenly with Fang Yan's command.

  "Confirm activation." Fang Yan ordered in a low voice.

  The Refining Pavilion was activated. Fang Yan's experience value was deducted by one hundred, and the Blood Blade Mantis lost a forelimb.

  Looking at the disappearing Blood Blade Mantis's sharp forelimb, Fang Yan felt a sense of relief in his heart. He was relieved that he hadn't acted rashly earlier, or else the system within him might have been exposed. But even if it wasn't exposed, suddenly losing one of the Blood Blade Mantis's forelimbs would be extremely troublesome to explain.

  "Ding! Congratulations, host, the Alchemy Pavilion has been activated. Please ask the host if you want to use the Alchemy Pavilion now." After a moment, the cold system prompt sounded in Fang Yan's mind.

  "It's activated, and it's really fast. I don't know how to use this Alchemy Pavilion." Fang Yan muttered, as he pulled up the system template in his mind.

  Among the many templates, there is a Refining Pavilion template. In this Refining Pavilion template, a line of small text appears, recording the usage method of the Refining Pavilion. That is to provide materials for the Refining Pavilion and spend a certain amount of experience points and proficiency points to refine weapons. During the refining process, a template needs to be provided, according to which the Refining Pavilion can refine weapons. The higher the level of the material, the higher the quality of the refined weapon.

  "I currently have fourth-grade forging materials in my hand, which can be used to forge a spiritual soldier. As for the experience points, it's equivalent to one hundred first-class spiritual grasses. I have all of these on me, so I can try to forge a suitable weapon myself." After reading the introduction to the Forging Pavilion, Fang Yan's face revealed a hint of understanding.

  To refine the divine weapon, the spiritual grass on Fang Yan's body must be exchanged for experience points through the equivalent exchange system. These are all trivial matters, and if the spiritual grass is gone, it can be picked or robbed. If he has a spiritual soldier that can rival the divine weapon in his hand, when casting Water Shadow Sword, his combat power will not increase by just one star.

  "Refine the Spiritual Soldier." With a determined mind, Fang Yan rushed towards the Xianjie system in his mind and gave the order.

  As Fang Yan's voice fell, the experience points he exchanged with the equivalent exchange system were all cleared to zero. The corpse of the Blood Blade Mantis on the ground suddenly burst into a white light and then disappeared abruptly.

  "Material collection complete, please engrave the Lingbing template on the host." The system's prompt tone sounded again.

  This time Fang Yan was prepared and drew out the long sword from behind his back. With a thought, a model of an ancient long sword appeared in the template of the Refining Pavilion.

  "It takes a whole day to see the results of refinement. I don't know what level of spiritual soldier it will be refined into."

  This Blood Blade Mantis is a third-tier peak demon beast, but because it's an ancient variant, its sharp forelimbs are even harder than those of ordinary fourth-tier demon beasts, making it a material for forging fourth-grade equipment. Spirit weapons, on the other hand, are forged from materials that are at least third-grade or higher. If nothing unexpected happens, the corpse of this Blood Blade Mantis should be enough to forge a mid-grade spirit weapon, and it's even more likely to be a high-quality one.

  After settling the matter of Lianqi Pavilion, Fang Yan immediately joined forces with Fu Qingxuan and the others. The smell of blood in the nearby area was too strong, and staying here would eventually attract other fierce beasts. The three did not linger in the valley for long and left soon after.

  "How despicable, they let them escape." Fang Yan and the three of them didn't walk far before another group of people arrived in this valley, and this group of people was Gao Jin and Wang Yannian's gang who had returned.

  "Hmph... they're lucky this time, but if we meet again next time, it'll be their death sentence." Gao Jin said viciously as he saw that Fang Yan and his group were nowhere to be seen in the valley.

  "Let's go, we're heading deep into the Sword Grave space. If they want to gain anything in this Sword Grave space, we'll meet again."

  Gao Jin and his men came quickly and left quickly, and before long, the small valley returned to its tranquility.

  "Xuan sister, you're all heavily injured, let's rest here for a while. I believe there shouldn't be any fierce beasts nearby to disturb us." Outside a bamboo forest, Fang Yan and the others stopped in their tracks and said.

  "The environment here is beautiful, the surrounding terrain is flat, don't worry about any ambushes, even if you find enemies, you can quickly escape. The conditions here are not bad, let's heal our wounds here!" As she looked around, the bamboo forest swayed in the gentle breeze, creating a majestic wave-like motion, extremely beautiful, with fresh and pleasant air. Fu Qingxuan nodded in agreement.

  Fu Qingxuan and Tao Hui needed to treat their injuries, while Fang Yan also had to deal with the wounds on his body. However, he had the Xianjie system, so as long as he had experience points, letting the system handle it would be fine.

  A day's time passed quietly, Fu Qingxuan and Tao Hui were still recovering from their injuries, while Fang Yan had regained his vitality after a day of recuperation.
