Yang Xian was running the technique while checking his own changes. Yang Xian detected his spiritual thoughts and found that something was different. The divine thoughts he detected were actually different from before. Yang Xian used his current "spiritual thoughts" to look around the cave. , I found that my "spiritual mind" can detect the more subtle structures of things, such as rocks. If you don't look carefully, it is just a stone. There are many impurities and gaps on the surface. If you use the current "spiritual mind" to look carefully, you can see it. The essence of stone is composed of several "large particles" of matter. The current spiritual consciousness can detect this subtle level. Yang Xian understood that his current "spiritual thought" is no longer called divine thought, but called divine consciousness. His own spiritual thoughts have transformed into divine consciousness. This is a great joy. Yang Xian tested the distance in the original stone space. It was a full mile. Compared with the detection distance of spiritual thoughts at the eighth level of Qi Refining, the detection distance of spiritual thoughts was no more. However, the nature of the spiritual thoughts has changed and transformed into divine consciousness. Like the monks who have just entered the foundation building stage, Yang Xian guessed that the pain that just felt like his head was exploding was caused by the transformation of spiritual thoughts into divine consciousness.
In any case, after breaking through the ninth level of Qi refining, his spiritual thoughts transformed into spiritual consciousness. Today, Yang Xian estimates that his overall strength has gradually approached Li Qinglian’s strength during his lifetime, but now Yang Xian’s spiritual consciousness is still relatively weak, and his use of spiritual consciousness is still relatively weak. It is also very rough. Li Qinglian is a powerful character who searches for the souls of monks in the early stage of foundation building with the body-refining Dzogchen cultivation. Moreover, the physical training itself has shortcomings in spiritual thoughts and consciousness. You can imagine how powerful Li Qinglian is.
Yang Xian felt his own powerful power. He wondered how many monks were worthy of his attack during the Qi refining period. It would be great if he met the blood-robed monk again, so that he could really have a fun battle. After Yang Xian's breakthrough, he did not need to consolidate his cultivation. He continued to refine Qi-enhancing pills, and became familiar with the refining of first-level high-grade pills as soon as possible, and then continued to practice to increase the pill production rate. Yang Xian's spiritual consciousness controlled the spiritual grass for refining the Qi-enhancing Pill to enter the Qingye Furnace in sequence, and then adjusted the temperature of the fire. Yang Xian's spiritual consciousness noticed that there was a huge imbalance in the temperature generated by the spiritual carbon. Some places in the alchemy furnace The temperature is high, and the temperature in some places is low. Yang Xian's spiritual mind before could not observe it carefully and could not detect it. Now that Yang Xian has discovered it, he consciously controls the temperature, places the spiritual grass at the most suitable temperature for processing, and identifies it through his spiritual sense. Spiritual grasses and medicinal ingredients in spiritual grasses can be detected at a microscopic level. When handling spiritual grasses and medicinal herbs, their medicinal power can be retained to the maximum extent. With the advantage of spiritual consciousness, Yang Xian feels that the difficulty of making alchemy has been reduced, just like high school students. The questions for primary school students were the same, and there was basically no difficulty at all. Yang Xian began to refine the Qi-increasing pills and perform practical operations. An hour later, a furnace of Qi-increasing pills was released, with a pill yield rate of 30%. This terrifying pill yield rate was simply It was not refined by a novice alchemist.
With the bonus of divine consciousness, it only took Yang Xian four months to master the refining skills of first-level high-grade elixirs, and the elixir yield rate was close to 60%, just like a foundation-building monk refining elixirs across levels. Xian's rapid improvement in alchemy skills was praised for the first time by his wife Shen Lianyi, who is an alchemist. "My husband is still talented in alchemy!" Yang Xian complained inwardly. This kind of praise felt wrong! Didn't I have any talent at all when I was refining alchemy before?
After nearly two years of continuous alchemy, with the help of his spiritual consciousness, Yang Xian has completely become a senior first-level alchemist. If he enters the foundation building stage, he can attack the second-level alchemist. But deep down in Yang Xian's heart, he wanted to become a second-level alchemist during the Qi refining period. Yang Xian's spiritual thoughts had transformed into divine consciousness, but the spiritual power in his body was still in gaseous form and had not transformed into liquid true essence. However, he could refine it by himself. The body cultivation has reached the first level of Great Perfection, and the spiritual power in the Dantian and meridians in the body is already close to a semi-liquid state. With the support of body refining cultivation, there will be no shortage of true energy when refining the second level elixir. I also have a bottle of second-level elixir Huiyuan Dan.
Finally, there is the supply of alchemy resources. The advancement of an alchemist often consumes a lot of resources. The higher the level of the alchemy, the more resources are consumed. If Yang Xian wants to refine the foundation-building elixir, he needs at least the second-level low-grade elixir. It can be refined only when the elixir yield rate reaches 30%, because the Foundation Establishment Pill is a second-level middle-grade elixir, and the refining difficulty is close to that of a second-order high-grade elixir. It is a second-order mid-grade elixir that is more difficult to refine. Yang Xian has already thought about the elixir to refine. He will first refine the second-level low-grade Pure Yuan Dan, and then refine the Foundation Establishment Dan after getting familiar with it, because Yang Xian has already collected the various main medicines and auxiliary medicines of the Pure Yuan Dan. It's just that the age of the elixir is not enough, and it will take more than 8 years. During this period, Yang Xian plans to study the weapon refining, and all the plans are in order.
Since Yang Xian decided to specialize in weapon refining, it would not be appropriate to stay in the master Shen Liyun's cave. Yang Xian and Shen Lianyi said goodbye and said that they had a breakthrough in alchemy. They just took this opportunity to do something. Shen Lianyi also said that he could concentrate on studying elixirs, otherwise Yang Xian was here, and he had to practice both yin and yang every now and then. Although it was very comfortable, it seriously affected the progress. Yang Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. In the past, he took the initiative, but later someone took the initiative. Yang Xian also promised to visit Shen Lianyi once a month.
After leaving the cave, Yang Xian went directly to the weapon refining hall of the tool refining peak and spent 700 spirit stones to buy a weapon refining furnace that was barely considered a high-quality and inferior magic weapon. This was still the internal price given by the sect. It will be more expensive to buy outside. Yang Xian went to the Foreign Affairs Hall and directly accepted the three-year sect task of refining weapons. He handed in the task once a year. The deacon uncle who was dozing off opened his eyes and looked at Yang Xian, and asked: "Are you crazy? , you haven’t practiced in the past three years?" However, the deacon uncle who was focused on napping still put his own sleep as the top priority, quickly completed the sect tasks for Yang Xian, and continued to doze off.
Yang Xian, who came out of the Foreign Affairs Hall, flew directly with his sword to Lingyun Peak Cave Mansion, then activated the formation, went directly into the alchemy room, replaced the alchemy furnace, and installed the weapon refining furnace. All preparations are completed. The first step of refining is to understand, identify and purify the materials for refining. Common ores include iron ore, copper ore, silver ore, gold ore, jade ore, etc. In addition, there are various genius treasure materials. Such as century-old peach wood, thousand-year-old tree heart, ten thousand-year-old black ice and other genius treasures. Finally, the more common materials are spiritual beast materials, such as scales, horns, bones, fur, silk, etc. These materials are the most versatile materials, but these materials need to be further purified and refined for immortal cultivators to obtain the materials for real weapon refining.
Half of the three-year sect mission that Yang Xian accepted was about the purification of various ores, and the other half was about the refining of magical weapons. Yang Xian took out the storage bag given by the sect mission. The space was more than twenty feet, and it was filled with various ores in different categories. Looking at the mountains of ores, Yang Xian felt extremely happy, and then took out a piece of The black iron ore began to be purified according to Zhang's weapon refining techniques and combined with the knowledge of weapon refining formations obtained from Meng Tianxiang. Zhang's weapon refining techniques laid the foundation and Meng Tianxiang's knowledge of weapon refining formations was used as guidance. After all, Meng Tianxiang is a second-level weapon refiner who can refine middle-grade magic weapons. However, to be precise, Yang Xian only had Meng Tianxiang's memories of refining low-grade magic weapons, and the rest of the middle-grade magic weapons. There is no experience in refining low-grade magic weapons, because the memory fragments obtained are too few, but only the refining experience and formation experience for refining low-grade magic weapons are enough.
Generally speaking, purifying refining materials is a very time-consuming and laborious task. However, purifying refining materials is relatively simple and not too difficult. As long as you spend time and effort, the success rate of purifying materials can basically reach 100%. It's just that different materials and different refiners take different times to purify the materials. This is an indicator to test the master's refinement level. Generally speaking, 10 kilograms of black iron can be refined into six taels to seven taels of black iron. A skilled weapon refiner can usually refine six taels or even 7 taels at a time, while a weapon refiner apprentice can only refine about 3 taels at a time. Even lower, the rest must be refined again, which takes a lot of time, and time is very important for immortal cultivators, especially low-level Qi refining period monks. The first step of refining a weapon is refining. It takes too much time to make weapon materials, which leads to the fact that there are not many monks learning to make weapons during the Qi Refining Period. Those who do not have the talent to refine weapons are basically not considered. Just like refining alchemy and making talismans, the skills of cultivating immortals have high technical barriers for cultivators. , but if you master a certain skill of cultivating immortality, the road to cultivating immortality will be much smoother, because the more resources you will get.
Yang Xian's weapon refining started with the most basic material purification. First, he purified a large amount of black iron essence. Looking at the mountains of black iron ore in the storage bag, Yang Xian took the first step. The essence of black iron is the first choice material for refining defective magical instruments. It is used in large quantities and has many uses. Moreover, black iron ore has a large storage capacity and is widely distributed. It is relatively simple to mine. Many monks in the world of immortality have defective magical instruments. The figure of the Black Iron Essence.
Yang Xian directly scanned the entire ore with his spiritual consciousness, and the distribution of microscopic black iron essence particles was clearly visible. This is the wonderful use and power of his spiritual consciousness. Yang Xian put the ore scanned by his spiritual consciousness into the refining furnace. In the process, the temperature is controlled to melt the ore in a targeted manner and then the essence of black iron is extracted with spiritual consciousness. This set of operations has been learned from Meng Tianxiang's memory, and it is now a skilled process. Finally, the first piece of ore was successfully refined. Yang Xian felt a little tired. It was not easy to purify the ore with spiritual consciousness. One can imagine the difficulty of purifying the ore with spiritual consciousness, but fortunately, the practice of Xuanyin Refining Sutra can restore the loss. With his spiritual consciousness, Yang Xian was refining the essence of Xuantie while practicing the Xuanyin Refining Sutra.
It is worth mentioning that the Xuanyin Refining Sutra to Control the Gods finally started as Yang Xian’s spiritual thoughts transformed into divine consciousness. In this way, weapon refining and cultivation formed a seamless connection. In addition to the necessary daily cultivation, Yang Xian was immersed in everything. In the great cause of purifying the refining materials.
As time went by, Yang Xian's understanding of the essence of black iron became more and more profound, and he became more and more skilled in the use of spiritual consciousness. In just three months, the mountains of black iron ore in the storage bag were destroyed. After the refining was completed, it turned into 1,200 kilograms of black iron essence. Yang Xian began to purify other materials, such as copper ore, silver ore, etc., as well as genius earth treasures and some spiritual beast materials. It is worth mentioning that genius earth treasures It is the opposite of the purification of spirit beast materials. It is necessary to extract the impurities in the genius treasures and spirit beast materials, leaving the essence of the genius treasures and spirit beast materials. This is the only difference. Other purification methods are similar. The more distinctive feature is that the ore refining speed is relatively fast, while the genius treasure and spirit beast materials are extremely slow.
In this way, it took another five months for Yang Xian to refine the genius treasure and spirit beast materials, which only accounted for one-tenth of the total materials. It only took Yang Xian 8 months to purify all the materials for refining the weapon. He couldn't imagine that at this purification speed, working around the clock and with the bonus of divine consciousness, he could only achieve this speed if it were an ordinary monk. , the mind will purify these materials for at least two years. No wonder that when taking on the sect's mission, Uncle Establishment Master, who was dozing off, opened his eyes and looked at himself. Unless the Qi Refining Monk purified the materials day and night and did not practice, the time was barely enough, but this situation was basically impossible to happen. . Generally speaking, the three-year mission accepted this time cannot be completed at all. This will result in a penalty of double contribution points. Even though Yang Xian completed the three-year sect mission he accepted this time within the specified time, he did not dare to hand over all the sect missions! He had no choice but to admit his failure and accept the test. In the end, he deliberately left the magic weapon unable to be refined.
After thinking about handing over the sect's mission, now that the refining materials have been purified, Yang Xian started refining weapons for the first time in his life. Yang Xian's first choice was to refining ordinary defective magic weapons, from easy to difficult.
No matter what kind of magic weapon is refined, there are five steps. The first step is to purify the materials, the second step is to fuse and shape the materials, the third step is to forge and temper the original embryo with spiritual thoughts or consciousness, and the fourth step is to engrave the formation and prohibition. , the fifth step is to attract spiritual energy to activate the formation, which is also called the magic weapon opening. These five steps are indispensable, and it is necessary to ensure that no mistakes are made in order to successfully refine a qualified magic weapon. This requires the skill of the weapon refiner to achieve. Therefore, the success rate of the weapon refining often depends on the skill of the weapon refiner. The level is very direct.
The common defective magical weapon that Yang Xian first chose to refine was the Feijian, which was the most common inferior magical weapon that the sect distributed to its disciples. However, it was engraved with three first-order formation restrictions. Although these common inferior magical weapons looked like Simple, but it is not easy for the master who actually refines the magic weapon. He must ensure that every step is correct and the success rate must be ensured. The refining of three materials must be successful once, otherwise the inferior materials must be refined by himself. To make up for the shortfall, this requires the success rate of the weapon refiner to be stable at 40% to ensure no loss. Fortunately, the cost of refining the first-order ordinary defective magic weapon is relatively low. It depicts three ordinary defective magic weapons that are prohibited by the first-order formation. The weapon only requires 8 spirit stones. It can still be tolerated, but Yang Xian has also taken over the refining of many inferior magic weapons. The cost of these inferior magic weapons is 20 spirit stones or more. They are at least four first-order formation restrictions. Moreover, it requires three materials to obtain a finished magic weapon. Such a requirement requires Yang Xian to be careful every time he refines a magical weapon. Although it is supported by Zhang's weapon refining techniques and Meng Tianxiang's experience memory, as well as the addition of Yang Xian's pure spiritual power and spiritual consciousness, the refining process is still difficult. The progress of the weapon is still slow. It has failed five times. The four steps of refining the weapon have only reached the third step. The divine mind and consciousness are forged and tempered to refine the original embryo. There are always problems at this level. Yang Xian has been reflecting on it and finally came to a conclusion. , the divine consciousness forged and tempered the original embryo of an ordinary defective magic weapon and overused its materials, destroying the internal structure of the various materials in the fusion material of the magic weapon. This kind of question is actually a question of experience. The problem was found. Yang Xian was able to control the strength very well during the seventh spiritual forging and quenching of the original embryo, making the fusion of the raw materials go smoothly. At the same time, thanks to the help of powerful spiritual consciousness, Yang Xian also It can purify out excess impurities again. This is an additional step that needs to be added when refining low-grade magical instruments. Yang Xian used this step to refine ordinary inferior magical instruments. In order to ensure that the subsequent refining goes more smoothly, Indeed, after doing this, Yang Xian carved the first-order formation restriction more smoothly. Yang Xian easily carved the first formation restriction. When the second formation restriction was carved, the entire magic weapon prototype underwent a huge deformation. , the material properties are chaotic, which means that the refining fails. It was still like this for the eighth time. Yang Xian thought about the reason. It was still like this for the ninth time. Could it be another reason? He tried again, but failed for the tenth time. Then again, he successfully carved the second first-order formation restriction for the eleventh time. The third formation ban failed again, and Yang Xian started over again. Until the seventeenth time of refining the weapon, Yang Xian was already very familiar with the refining of ordinary defective magic weapons. The first three steps were basically correct, because there were powerful With his spiritual consciousness, it is not easy to make mistakes. It is only the fourth step to depict the formation restrictions. It requires mastery of the formation restrictions and rich experience. Learn to make appropriate adjustments according to the original embryo of each magic weapon to depict the first level. The location of the formation restrictions, the strength of the spiritual consciousness, etc., Yang Xian finally completed the three first-order formation restrictions, a total of seventeen failures in exchange for one success. This is still the case where Yang Xian has many advantages. If he changes Being an ordinary weapon-refining apprentice does not have these advantages, and you will fail much more times than you think, except for weapon-refining geniuses.
