Uncle Wang from Guanxiu Peak is Yunxiao's older acquired martial artist. He joined the art of weapon refining sixty years ago. He is crazy about weapon refining. However, he has not made much progress in his skills in the past twenty years and has always stayed at the early stage of acquired martial arts. Wang Kedang didn't care about the sect's affairs and rarely left Guanxiu Peak once a year.
Wang Ke was not welcome in the sect, so he didn't care. He just studied the art of weapon refining on his own. Two years ago, he felt that he was getting older, so he just thought of accepting a disciple. It happened that Xiao Yu'er came to the school on the recommendation of a distant relative. In the Yunxiao Sect, since she didn't have the spirit stone to bribe her, the steward of the Deacon Hall conveniently arranged for her to go to Guanxiu Peak and become Wang Kedang's disciple.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuer's quirky and carefree personality is in perfect harmony with Wang Kedang, and everyone is happy in the end for something that no one cares about.
Xue Tong got rich, and money-burning things like refining weapons and alchemy were naturally put on the agenda. He thought about the list of alchemy masters and felt that Wang Kedang, the weird master of his acquaintance Xiao Yuer, seemed to be the best candidate.
"Want to study under Master's name? Tell me, why do you want to refine weapons?" Xiao Yu'er became serious after hearing Xue Tong's words and asked the question on the spot.
"Refining weapons requires a lot of spiritual stones, which I can afford. I can learn the craft and use my skills to help me practice martial arts." Xue Tong replied.
"Haha, if you answer like this, Master will probably throw you off Guanxiu Peak." Xiao Yu'er covered her mouth and smiled.
"No, is there something wrong with this answer?" Xue Tong felt that the reason was sufficient and quite satisfactory, and he wondered.
"Master doesn't make weapons for money, it's just based on preference. Most of the orders for weapon refining are ignored. If you say it's a lot of money, aren't you asking for trouble? Besides, Master is very disapproving of his obsession with martial arts. He rarely practices any martial arts. You said it would be useful in cultivating immortality, but you obviously don’t really like weapon refining, so it would be strange if I didn’t drive you away.”
"Oh, what Yu'er said makes sense. What you and Uncle Wang think in their heads are different from ordinary people." Xue Tong said half-jokingly.
Xiao Yuer spat, "Come on, please think about it before you speak!"
"Well, let me tell you that the weapons are not good enough, and the spiritual materials I finally bought can't be trusted by others. Master Wang is reliable. I want to ask his old man to help make them first, and then I can make them myself in the future?" Xue Tong said.
"I'm afraid this won't work either. Master's flattery and wearing a high hat are useless." Xiao Yu'er said thoughtfully.
"Then I said that weapon refining is fun, and I am a genius. If I don't learn to refine weapons, it will be a loss to the world of weapon refining?"
"You brag shamelessly and you will be thrown off Guanxiu Peak!" Xiao Yu'er rolled her eyes and said.
"Then what should I say?" Xue Tong asked with a frown.
"Oh, actually I don't know. Master has never had any other disciples, and no one has come to be my master. You can just read and write." Xiao Yu'er had no good idea and stamped her feet.
"It's just like the real thing. I thought you had a clever plan!" Xue Tong's eyes bulged to show his dissatisfaction.
He thought for a long time and wrote a greeting note, and asked Xiao Yu'er to hand it in. Xue Tong expected that Wang Kedang would at least meet him because of his famous status in Yunxiao Sect and Xiao Yu'er's face. Unexpectedly, the post was thrown out directly, and even Xiao Yu'er also Got scolded.
"Master has a very bad temper. He scolds you for being self-righteous. You are very confident in writing and learn well. He also wants to use me as your apprentice to get extra points and tell you to get out." Xiao Yu'er said with a bitter face.
"Fainted. I can't say that I can't learn well. Please waste your time teaching Uncle Wang to teach useless people." Xue Tong said, dumbfounded.
He thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with a better idea, so he said helplessly: "I don't know how to respect my master, so I'll think about it again."
"Well, that's all we can do for now."
"Oh, by the way, please be nice these days and make your master feel better." Xue Tong warned.
"Don't worry, I won't ruin your big event, Brother Xue." Xiao Yu'er said with a grimace.
…
Exquisite pagoda.
Xue Tong's sect has many contribution points, enough for him to choose carefully.
"The Instrument Sutra" is the basic book of Xuanmen weapon refining. Almost all weapon refiners start from this sutra, and a fifty-point sect contribution value is not a problem.
"Thunder Explosion Bead", Xue Tong's lightning strike technique is about to be perfected, and the intermediate thunder spells must be connected. He thought over and over again and gave up the more flexible electric python technique, deciding that the fierce and domineering thunder ball explosion technique seems to be more in line with his style. .
The originally planned "Rock Shield Technique" became less urgent due to the appearance of Liang Sukui's large shield. The intermediate "Holy Light Magic Barrier" of the light system became the defensive spell closest to his needs.
"Corrosion" is a dark auxiliary spell that uses corrosive smoke to slow down the enemy's mana flow. Xue Tong remembers that Hong Tianyou almost lost in the martial arts competition due to the auxiliary attack of similar spells.
"Huimeng Claw", using fists and claws together can greatly speed up the speed of melee attacks. The iron sword is a heavy weapon and is a bit clumsy in melee combat. The powerful bombardment of the Ghost Demon Fist requires a certain amount of fist space, and the claw attack is almost instantaneous. The grasping, hooking, and pinching techniques are flexible, and the phantom of Mengmeng's claws can still perform attacks even if they are far away. It is an advanced martial skill that costs 100 points.
…
Xue Tong's training was intensive, but how to become Wang Kedang's registered disciple was a big headache for him.
Xue Tong organized his thoughts and rewrote a long post. In the article, he mentioned that he wanted to learn some weapon-making skills, but he did not dare to ask Uncle Wang to teach him personally. He only wanted to be his apprentice Xiao Yu'er's follower first.
Xue Tong was sincere in his words and said very few words of flattery. He was afraid of being labeled as flattering, so the post was thrown out again.
At the end of the article, Xue Tong specifically talked about being lucky enough to pick up the Explosive Flame Flower and Fengqi Vine. If Master Wang had some weapon-refining materials but had not gathered together, maybe he would be lucky enough to help with it.
The post was handed in again. Xue Tong waited uneasily for a long time and saw Xiao Yu'er running back happily.
"Haha, it's done. Master made a list and left it to you."
"What about learning to refine weapons?"
"You are allowed to use the cauldron. If you have any questions, ask me. You will have to call me senior sister from now on, haha." Xiao Yuer said with joy.
"It's impossible. The sect stipulates that starting at an early age is a long time. Isn't this a mess?"
"Oh, you're taking it seriously. Who cares about you calling me Senior Sister? I'm not interested in calling you such an old person!" Xiao Yu'er glared at Xue Tong.
Wang Kedang's list listed twelve kinds of weapon refining materials, but he didn't say when they would be completed. Hearing Xiao Yu'er's advice, he was not in a hurry. However, Wang Kedang asked Xue Tong to refine hemp iron, but Xiao Yu'er was only allowed to talk and not to do anything. He dared to cheat. If so, Xue Tong would never be able to go near his weapon refining site, nor would he be able to interact with Xiao Yuer again.
…
Refining weapons requires financial support, purchase of materials, and repeated practice. In addition, attribute magic, time and space sensing, and mental power all require certain qualifications. These thresholds are often difficult for newcomers to martial arts to reach.
Just like refining a very common pair of rattan armor, the higher the awareness of the wood attribute, the better. Fire control involves mastering the fire attribute and time attribute. When materials are fused and tools are formed, the sense of space comes in handy. , the entire process must always maintain strong attention and insight, which puts forward requirements for mental strength.
There are three refining rooms lined up in the Guanxiu Peak Wang Kedang's weapon farm. One on the left is a black three-legged cauldron that is as tall as a person. The two cauldron ears are shaped like coiled snakes, with the snake's head raised, and a three-story pagoda. The lid of the cauldron is suspended above the mouth of the cauldron, and the flames inside the cauldron are faintly visible, illuminating the stone chamber in flickering light.
Xue Tong threw in two large pieces of fine iron and cast the fifth level of Fiery Flame Technique. The raging fire quickly melted the iron pieces.
Several large pieces of gray hemp stone were placed next to the snake tripod. The hemp stone has a dense texture and is extremely difficult to break. After being mixed with refined iron, the hemp iron produced is both strong and tough and difficult to break and deform.
Xue Tong moved the granite into the cauldron and increased the magic power. The fierce flames tightly wrapped the granite. The fire temperature continued to rise. The granite was burned into liquid and mixed with the molten iron.
Xue Tong's spell changed, and a cyclone sucked up the mixed liquid. The cyclone flew, and the mixed liquid gradually aggregated into balls. As the speed of the cyclone changed, the liquid balls were continuously centrifuged and reassembled.
After Xue Tong felt that the mixture was fully mixed and the components of the granite were evenly distributed in the molten iron, the cauldron fire cooled down and the molten iron was smelted into a soft red iron bar.
Compared with the newly refined hemp iron after quenching, Xue Tong's hemp iron looked darker in color than the stock. He squeezed it hard, and with a click, the hemp iron bars broke!
"I have to ask for advice."
Xiao Yu'er looked at the cross section, patted Xue Tong's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother, there are too many impurities in the granite juice, and the distribution in the molten iron is uneven. How can such a defective product not be broken immediately?"
"Read the Scriptures carefully!"
Refined iron and Xiu Maite are cheap and can be found everywhere in the inner city. Xue Tong purchased a large amount of materials and practiced the methods of removing impurities described in the Artifact Sutra again and again in the artifact refining room.
Practice makes perfect, fail, continue, fail...
The granite liquid was wrapped in a cyclone and was close to boiling under the intense flames. The tiny impurity particles were brought out of the cauldron along with the rising heat. The cyclone drove the molten liquid to rotate rapidly, throwing out the slightly larger impurity particles.
The rotation speed continued to change, and a small amount of other liquefied impurities were also separated from the granite liquid. Half an hour later, the granite melt reached extremely high purity and was mixed into the iron liquid. Xue Tong continued stirring for a longer time...
Finally, the smelted iron bar looked as good as usual.
Chopping with knives, axes, and hammers, the hardness and toughness of the hemp iron bars met the requirements. Xue Tong did not stop there. He continued to practice hard until he was satisfied with his technique, experience, and heat.
Xiao Yu'er flicked the iron bar with her fingers, squeezed it hard a few times, and said: "Well, it's pretty much the same. The quality of the hemp iron is average, but don't think you are very capable. If the hemp iron can't be smelted well, it will really become a waste. .”
"I'll show it to Master. Maybe he will be happy and give you some tips."
Xue Tong curled his lips, "I don't dare, thank God if you don't drive me away."
…
Xiao Yu'er came back from a circle and threw out a large piece of thick turtle shell, "This is the hard shell of the roaring turtle. Master said that only by making it into the roaring turtle shell can you become his registered disciple. You have to be careful, the roaring turtle shell It doesn’t happen often. If you want to buy it after it breaks down, it may not be available. If you can’t refine the tortoise shell within a month, don’t blame the master for not having time to take you to continue playing.”
