The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 12 Preparation for refining
  Comprehending the spell consumes a lot of energy for the monks. However, after two hours of studying the fireball technique, Xu Zhiyu got tired and had no choice but to stop studying.

He waved his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist, and took out a bottle of elixir. This was the first-level mid-level elixir he exchanged for Qi Gathering Pill before leaving home. He poured out a Qi Gathering Pill, swallowed it into his belly, and started to circulate. Kung Fu, refining the power of the Qi Gathering Pill, and improving your cultivation diligently.

In the process, Xu Zhiyu's fatigue was also baptized, and he gradually regained his energy.

It wasn't until the next morning, when the sun was rising, that he stopped refining the medicine, left the cave and went up to the top of the mountain. He cast a wave of spiritual rain on the five acres of spiritual field three times, and then returned to the cave. , continue to refine the remaining medicinal power of the Qi Gathering Pill.

Xu Zhiyu continued practicing, meditating on spells, and applying rain for three days, until the power of the Qi Gathering Pill was completely exhausted, and Xu Zhiyu stopped.

"This mid-level Qi Gathering Pill is still a little less helpful for my current state! But it's better than nothing, and it's much faster than absorbing spirit stones for cultivation!" Xu Zhiyu felt that he had swallowed these three days of refining. He muttered to himself about the advanced cultivation of the Qi Gathering Pill.

Xu Zhiyu once again took out a Qi Gathering Pill from his storage bag, swallowed it, and closed his eyes.

Seven days later, the first two acres of purple jade spiritual rice seeds in the five acres of spiritual fields on the top of Zimu Mountain sprouted yellow buds.

In a cave halfway up the mountain, Xu Zhiyu, who was cultivating, was alarmed by the sound of purple jade spiritual rice breaking through the ground and growing buds, absorbing the aura of the Bluestone Mountain. He quickly stopped practicing and climbed to the top of the mountain.

Seeing that the Purple Jade Rice had indeed sprouted buds, Xu Zhiyu was very happy and had a smile on his face.

"It's time to plan the art of weapon refining!"

""Now, the path before me is to achieve success in this weapon refining process, refine a large number of magical weapons, and earn a large amount of training resources to feed back my cultivation. "

"Only succeed, never fail!"

Xu Zhiyu's expression gradually became firm.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, he returned to the cave, sat cross-legged on the ground, and took out the classic book called "The True Explanation of Weapon Refining" from the storage bag in his hand.

In this refining manual, in addition to recording the melting method, fire control, refining techniques, hundreds of refining spiritual materials, several types of refining spiritual patterns, and the insights of the family's past refining masters, It also records the refining diagrams of three magical weapons: the green bamboo sword, the light body Taoist robe, and the round iron shield.

Among the contents of this book, the most important ones are the spirit patterns and the method of melting weapons, which are the keys for the weapon refiner to advance to the next level.

Fire control, weapon refining techniques, etc. are all secondary. Without this spiritual pattern and weapon melting method, even magic weapons cannot be refined.

Xu Zhiyu spent some time to memorize the method of melting weapons and the method of drawing sharp spiritual patterns in his heart, then closed his eyes and began to comprehend.

After probably pondering for nearly an hour, he stopped.

"Based on the progress of me studying the method of melting weapons and the method of drawing sharp spiritual patterns for half an hour respectively, there should be no problem in learning these two methods within half a year." Xu Zhiyu said happily.

He did not expect that his understanding was so powerful, which may have something to do with his extraordinary spiritual consciousness.

This sharp spirit pattern and the method of melting weapons are related to the ability to refine weapons. Once he has initially understood them, Xu Zhiyu can actually be regarded as a weapon refiner apprentice. As long as he is proficient in weapon refining, fire control, techniques, etc. After successfully refining a magical weapon, he can become a true weapon-refining apprentice.

As for becoming a weapon refiner, you need to increase the success rate of refining a magic weapon to more than 30%.

Under normal circumstances, you can only earn spiritual stones if the success rate of refining reaches 30%. If you can't earn spiritual stones, how can you be respected as an "Item Refiner"?

At the same time, Xu Zhiyu also sighed secretly.

"In this case, we really need to go all out to enter the weapon refining process quickly, or we can use this weapon refining process to earn spiritual stones early, feed back our cultivation, and benefit the family."

"In terms of refining the spiritual patterns of weapons, we must also go hand in hand with understanding the method of melting weapons."

Weapon refining is a kind of spiritual pattern that adds to the magic weapon. For example, Xu Zhiyu's sword has two spiritual patterns of "sharpness" and "rapidness" added to it.

In the "True Explanation of Weapon Refining" in Xu Zhiyu's hand, there are three types of weapon refining spirit patterns recorded, namely sharp, strong, and light body, which correspond to the three magical weapons of the green bamboo sword, the round iron shield, and the light body Taoist robe.

Now that he had a plan, he didn't waste too much time to pick up the storage bag given by his grandfather next to him and summon all the contents in it to the ground.

In an instant, there was a pile of ordinary iron the size of a small mountain, fifty kilograms of firewood, a six-foot-long black refining furnace with various spiritual rice-like patterns engraved on its surface, and ten photo disks with red notes on each.

Xu Zhiyu didn't pay too much attention to the thousand catties of mortal iron. No matter how much mortal iron there is, it is still a common thing with extremely low value. For monks, it is just a thing for monks who are new to the weapon refining path.

Only the latter three are worthy of Xu Zhiyu's attention.

Fire-burning wood is the source of flames when monks refine elixirs, magic weapons, etc. This wood is not only flammable but also very flame-resistant.

Just put the flame on the fire wood, and the flame will quickly grow and turn into a raging flame, which will then assist the monks in refining elixirs or magical weapons. The word "Black Flame" is engraved on the top of the black weapon refining furnace, and the red notes attached to the ten photo plates read "Every hoe, every kitchen knife, every sickle... Green Bamboo Sword, Qingshen" Taoist robe and round iron shield."

"The word "Black Flame" should be the name of the refining furnace, and the name written on the note on the photo disk should be the content of the photo disk. Xu Zhiyu guessed.

He poured his spiritual energy into the ten photo plates one by one and took a rough look at them. It was indeed as he thought that the photo plate with the note "Every Hoe" on it was the scene of refining a hoe. This method of refining an ordinary hoe also uses fire wood as a fire source to refine a magic weapon, and the person who refined it is my grandfather.

"Recalling what my grandfather said before, these ten photo disks are all images recorded five days before he came here. I think my grandfather took great pains to prepare in advance."

"However, my grandfather was willing to refining ordinary iron tools and even used a photo disk worth thirty spiritual stones to record it. This was his monthly salary."

The photo disk is a kind of spiritual video recording object, made from the photo stone. On the market, a blank photo disk is worth three spiritual stones. If you want to record a video, you only need to inject spiritual power into it, and it will record the image. When you want to see it, after injecting spiritual power into it, the image will appear on the disk.

After briefly taking a look at the contents of the storage bag given by his grandfather, Xu Zhiyu began to refine the weapon refining furnace first.

It was not until night that he stopped, stood up and walked outside the cave to absorb the power of the moonlight.

After absorbing it, I watched for a while the images of refining farm tools such as "Fan Hoes, Fan Kitchen Knives" and the insights of the Xu family's weapon refining masters in "The True Explanation of Weapon Refining" before closing my eyes again.

But this time with his eyes closed, he was not continuing to refining the weapon refining furnace, but practicing.

Xu Zhiyu already has a complete plan for what he does every day

One hour every day is used to cast spiritual rain to water the five acres of spiritual plants on the top of the mountain.

One hour is used to comprehend the spell.

Three hours to understand the method of melting weapons.

It takes half an hour to comprehend the spirit patterns of weapon refining.

Watch the images on the ten-sided photo plate for half an hour.

Two hours of sacrifice to the refining furnace.

The last four hours were spent practicing until the early morning of the next day. The schedule is full.

However, Xu Zhiyu is happy with such a tight time. There are always some people in this world who like to be busy, and Xu Zhiyu is obviously this kind of person.

On the tenth day of the Black Flame Artifact Refining Furnace, he finally stamped his divine consciousness into the Black Flame Artifact Refining Furnace.

If you want to exert 100% of the power of a magic weapon, you need to be refined by monks. Without sacrifice, you can only exert 70% of the power of the magic weapon at most.

"I have finished refining this black flame refining furnace by sacrificing it. In the future, the time I need to sacrifice in the refining furnace should be changed to refining ordinary farm tools.

After the refining furnace was completed, Xu Zhiyu naturally started his great career of refining weapons, using the method of refining magical weapons to refine ordinary farm tools.

He first reviewed the refining method of Mortal Hoes that Xu Zhiyu was familiar with, and then took out a few arm-thick and long-arm firewood logs from the storage bag and placed them a few feet away in front of him. Use spiritual power to create a flame and ignite it.

According to the fire control method recorded in the book, Xu Zhiyu inexplicably intruded his spiritual consciousness into the flames of the burning wood and controlled the flames to a relatively gentle size.

Then, he placed the black flame refining furnace next to him that had just been refining on top of the burning wood, so that the refining furnace was suspended in the air and the flames burned the bottom of the refining furnace to heat the temperature of the refining furnace.

When the temperature in the refining furnace reached a certain level, Xu Zhiyu used the magic of controlling objects to open the top of the refining furnace. He took out a piece of mortal iron of suitable size from the pile of iron deep in the cave, threw it into the refining furnace, and covered it again. The furnace cover uses high temperature to melt the piece of iron into molten iron.

In the huge refining furnace, the hot molten iron is formed into the shape of a hoe.

Since Xu Zhiyu had not yet fully comprehended the method of melting weapons, he would follow the image recorded by his grandfather on the photo disk. Usually, he would first call the hoe, which was still just molten iron, out of the weapon-smelting furnace, and then condense it into shape with the power of his spiritual consciousness. Call out a ball of water and cool it down.

When cold water touches molten iron, it makes a "sizzling" sound.

At the same time, there was also a layer of water mist, as well as a strange smell.

After the molten iron hoe cooled, it also took shape.

Because this hoe is made using the method of refining a magic weapon, the blade of the hoe is actually opened, so there is no problem in opening up farmland.

Xu Zhiyu looked at the hoe that he had refined and was still warm, with joy on his face.

"In the eyes of ordinary people, this hoe should be considered hard, barely up to standard. As long as it is equipped with a hoe handle, it should be able to be used for many years."

"When I refine the remaining iron in this cave into farm tools, I can replenish it for the nearby villagers."

Later, Xu Zhiyu refined several kitchen knives, sickles and other agricultural tools respectively. After he became proficient, he was ready to officially refine the magical weapons.
