Seeing that Qi Feihong was very confident, Dongfang Qing asked, "Junior brother, have you finally learned the art of refining weapons? Senior sister, I congratulate you. But what kind of materials do we have that others don't have?"
Qi Feihong and Tian Xizi looked at each other and said with a smile: "Sister, please allow me to keep this a secret for now. When the token is refined, senior sister will naturally know about it."
Dongfang Qing rolled his eyes at Qi Feihong: "I am too talkative. This is something that should be kept secret."
Qi Feihong said: "Senior Sister, I hope you understand. This is not because I didn't tell Senior Sister on purpose. It is indeed necessary to keep it secret, so as not to be counterfeited by others after knowing it, so that our tokens will lose their due effect. Although we are all from the same sect, we can guard against others. The heart is indispensable.”
Dongfang Qing said: "Junior brother has thought carefully and it is indeed the right thing to do. So should we act separately now and each perform his own duties?"
Qi Feihong said: "Thank you everyone, let's work separately. Ten days later, at the auction, let everyone in Feixian Sect see our strength."
Everyone cheered together and went to prepare for the auction. Everyone had something to do and everyone was busy. As long as Jiang Jun and Dongfang Qing have no objections to Qi Feihong's arrangement, it will be easy for everyone else to agree. Even Tian Feifei didn't say anything about not being willing to help at this time, she still listened to Tian Xizi's words.
Qi Feihong has been practicing alchemy for some time, but he has never really refined any artifacts. This time, he suddenly thought of the auction admission system, and wanted to do it himself and try out what alchemy is like.
Qi Feihong chose an empty room and began to secretly refine tokens unique to the auction house. In order to shorten the refining time, he asked everyone not to disturb him.
Everyone consciously did not disturb him. Everyone was busy with what they should do, recruiting people, renovating, and the entire auction house was busy.
The special material Qi Feihong mentioned was actually the iron wood he brought from Feihu Stream. Iron wood is a good material for refining weapons. If it is used to refine tokens, it seems to be overkill. Of course, the tokens refined in this way are of better quality, stronger and more durable, and more easily accepted by people.
Iron wood is rare, but it is not a rare thing in Feixianmen. After all, it is everywhere in Feihu Stream, and everyone in Feixianmen must have gotten a lot of it. One of the important reasons why Qi Feihong was confident that the token he refined was unique was that he planned to leave a unique mark during the refining process - the soul mark.
Everyone's soul mark is unique. No one can imitate the soul mark left by Qi Feihong. This is the biggest anti-counterfeiting mark of the token. He didn't say it before and didn't want people to know this.
Qi Feihong took out a large piece of iron wood and the Polar Cauldron given to him by Shangqing Sanren, and slowly started the alchemy. The soul fire burned, and an astonishing temperature spread out. He preheated the Polar Cauldron first. This is the preparation work before refining, and it is also what novices must do before refining.
When the polar cauldron encountered the soul fire, Qi Feihong originally thought that it would be burned red instantly, and the preheating could only be completed in a few breaths. But when it came time for him to take action, he discovered that the Polar Cauldron was extremely difficult to heat. His soul fire had been burning for a long time, but the Polar Cauldron remained the same as before, and its color had not changed at all.
Now Qi Feihong finally understood what Shangqing Sanren had said before, and also knew that this polar tripod was really a rare refining treasure. Although the Polar Cauldron has no weapon spirit now and seems to be very ordinary, it is a treasure in itself.
Qi Feihong gradually increased the soul fire, and the temperature in the room rose rapidly, reaching an alarming level soon. At this time, the polar tripod gradually changed color, and the inside slowly turned red. Qi Feihong burned it for a while and saw that the inside of the polar cauldron was red. Knowing that the preheating was completed, he controlled the soul fire to continue to maintain the temperature of the polar cauldron with one hand and threw the piece of iron wood into the polar cauldron with the other hand.
When the iron wood entered the cauldron, it instantly turned red, but its shape remained unchanged and it was still extremely hard. Qi Feihong was prepared for it. The soul fire continued to burn the iron wood. After a cup of tea, the iron wood gradually softened and turned into droplets of fiery red liquid suspended in the polar cauldron. It looked beautiful and dangerous.
A large number of impurities were calcined away, and what was left was the essence of iron wood, which was the real material Qi Feihong needed to refine the token. This step is called purification in weapon refining, and some people say it is the removal of impurities. The explanations are different, but the purpose is the same, which is to remove impurities from the material and make the material purer.
The purified materials have almost no impurities, and the refined utensils are naturally better. Qi Feihong used alchemy to purify materials for the first time, and it was a great success. He was a little happy and quite proud of himself.
The next step is to take shape. This step is simpler than purification, but the control of the soul fire is more demanding. Qi Feihong has been practicing soul fire for a long time, and he has mastered the control of soul fire. He is confident that he will succeed in the first attempt.
Qi Feihong controlled the soul fire to continue to calcine the liquid ironwood essence. As time passed, the liquid ironwood gradually solidified and turned into a large irregular red object. Then the large red object was slowly divided into two pieces, one into two, then two into four... until the red object turned into dozens of pieces of almost the same size.
Dozens of red objects continued to be calcined, and their shapes began to change. Each piece slowly turned into a small piece with a length and width of two and a half inches and a finger thickness. Then, these small pieces continued to change, and their shapes slowly turned into very standard round objects. The size is about the same as the palm of an adult's hand, and the thickness is still one finger.
By this time, the general appearance of the token had emerged. The round token, one finger thick, looked quite satisfactory. Next, Qi Feihong thought, the soul fire was extinguished, and dozens of round tokens flew out from the polar tripod and were neatly placed in front of Qi Feihong.
These tokens were still red and extremely hot. After landing, the extremely high temperature made the ground make a scorching sound.
These tokens are as smooth as a mirror. Although they are still red, they have a faint golden luster, which is quite beautiful.
For the first time, Qi Feihong did a good job in shaping the weapon. It seems that he does have the talent for weapon refining. He was a little excited himself and secretly praised himself.
Next, it’s time to leave the soul mark on the token. This step is not something that a refiner will do when refining every item, unless necessary.
Qi Feihong's soul left the body and flew quickly over these tokens. A faint mark almost identical to Qi Feihong's appeared on the tokens. After a blink of an eye, the faint mark disappeared, and the token was still as smooth as a mirror. This is the mark of the soul, which is invisible and intangible. Only the person who left the mark can sense the mark of the soul.
It is difficult to erase the mark of the soul, unless the soul is far stronger than the person who left the mark, or he has practiced some very special battle skills of the soul.
After achieving this step, the token is considered complete. Qi Feihong made a casual move, and a token floated up and came directly to his eyes. Qi Feihong looked at it and seemed dissatisfied with the smooth round token, so he put it down again. He frowned and thought for a while, then a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Qi Feihong stretched out the five fingers of his right hand, and a soul fire emerged from his palm. The intense high temperature once again caused the whole room to heat up. Qi Feihong carefully controlled the soul fire. The soul fire gradually deformed and turned into an extremely sharp flaming knife.
The tip of the flame knife formed by the soul fire is like a needle point, so sharp that it makes the hair stand on end and the vest becomes cold at the sight of it.
This sharp tip seems to be able to cut through anything easily. Even Qi Feihong himself had to be careful for fear of hurting himself.
