Ximen Changqing obtained a high-grade magic weapon refining furnace in Qingyangfang, tens of thousands of kilograms of spiritual charcoal, and molds of ordinary shapes such as swords. In this way, in the cave in the Nine Heavens Space, the conditions for refining weapons in seclusion were completely mature.
The amount of reserves of ore, monster carapace, sharp horns and other weapon refining resources is very large, and there is no problem in refining thousands of magic weapons.
In the initial stage of laying the foundation, you need to refine more magic weapons. Only when you are proficient in the lowest level magic weapons, you will be more likely to succeed in refining spiritual weapons, magic weapons, spiritual treasures, etc. later on.
The difficulty of refining magic weapons of different levels is different. The higher the level of material, the more difficult it is to purify, and the more difficult it is to create a qualified weapon embryo.
If the quality of the spiritual material is too high and the level of the weapon refiner is too low, it is very likely that the weapon embryo will not be able to be made, and it will not be able to pass the level of the weapon embryo, let alone the forbidden formation map.
Ximen Changqing's talent for refining weapons is quite good. The first time he made a weapon in front of his ancestors, he successfully created a weapon embryo. Although the weapon embryo had great flaws, at least it didn't explode.
Afterwards, the forbidden array was engraved, and only two lines were engraved, which did not exceed the tolerance of the defective embryo, and the magic weapon was successfully created in one go.
Even if the quality is severely degraded and it is a loss-making success, for a beginner, it is already very good.
In other words, for weapon refining, explosion will occur in both steps. When making the weapon embryo, if the defects are too large, it will explode during quenching.
When engraving the forbidden array, if there is an error in the engraved array, it will explode on the spot. Even if the engraved array is correct, if the embryo cannot withstand the energy of the restricted array, it will also explode.
Refining weapons is not an easy task. Behind the success of each magical weapon refining, there is a lot of hard work of the weapon refiner. Every weapon refiner is worthy of respect.
Among the low-level refining materials in reserve, the first-level low-grade iron ore is the largest, followed by the first-level medium-grade black iron ore.
Ximen Changqing decided to use the lowest grade iron to make the embryonic weapon first, and started practicing from the most basic low-grade magical weapon.
The iron ore itself cannot be used to create a tool embryo. It needs to be smelted and purified to remove the impurities in the stone, leaving only the pure iron.
This purification process is not easy. Ximen Changqing controls the burning of spiritual charcoal while paying attention to the melting process of the ore in the refining furnace, not daring to relax at all.
In three full months, Ximen Changqing purified tens of thousands of kilograms of binite ore into binite. Although there were still impurities, there were very few impurities. After purification, only 10,000 kilograms of binite remained.
Based on the calculation that one magic weapon consumes 20 kilograms of iron, this 10,000 kilograms of iron can be used to create 500 weapon embryos. Of course, not all magic weapons consume the same amount of materials. The specific consumption depends on the type of the magic weapon. Type and size.
After purifying all the iron ore, Ximen Changqing began to build the basic weapon embryos, including the iron sword, the iron knife, the iron hammer, the iron gun and other basic weapon embryos.
Forging a weapon embryo is a hard job that consumes a monk's physical and spiritual energy. For a high-grade magic weapon, a forging hammer consumes a lot of physical and spiritual energy every time it is hammered, especially the physical energy that consumes the most.
At the same time, the physical training effect is also very good, and Ximen Changqing's physical fitness has been significantly improved.
Because it was too hard to temper the embryo, Ximen Changqing's appetite increased greatly. If he hadn't stored enough spiritual grains and planted spiritual grains in the space, he would have gone out to look for food.
Forging the weapon embryo is not always smooth sailing. Skills need to be accumulated step by step. When forging is just started, 20% of the weapon embryo can be exploded by quenching.
Bin iron is the lowest level spiritual material, but it can actually have major flaws, which shows that Ximen Changqing's weapon refining technology is seriously unstable.
After summarizing a lot of practice and re-reading the technical information given by his ancestors, Ximen Changqing gradually mastered some weapon refining skills and understood where his problems lay and how to improve them.
After a hundred pieces of weapon embryos, Ximen Changqing has never exploded the weapon embryos again. However, the creation of the weapon embryos is not completely flawless, and it cannot withstand up to four forbidden formations, or even three.
For low-grade magic weapons, if you carve one forbidden array, you can save money, and if you engrave two forbidden arrays, you can make a small profit.
But Ximen Changqing is here to practice his skills. His lowest goal is to carve three forbidden formations, even if he explodes a large number of hard-earned weapon embryos for this purpose.
Thirty percent of the initially created weapon embryos exploded when the first prohibition formation was engraved on them. When the second prohibition formation was engraved, no one was spared and all exploded.
Later, with the advancement of Ximen Changqing's technology, the one-prohibition formation pattern engraved did not explode again. The two-prohibition formation pattern was engraved, but only half of it exploded. There are also three prohibition formation patterns that can be preserved. A few.
This is not enough. Ximen Changqing still needs continuous practice, continuous self-surpassing, and continuous technical summary.
It took more than two years for Ximen Changqing to use up all the iron and iron materials, and finally maintained the engraved forbidden array at three levels, and only forty-five low-grade magical artifacts were successfully preserved.
If the low-grade magic weapon of the first forbidden formation is inferior, the second one is medium, the third one is high-grade, and the fourth one can be called perfect.
Even Ximen Zangjian cannot create a flawless weapon embryo. Every time the forbidden formation is engraved, there will be one missing line, so Ximen Changqing does not dare to try it easily.
Ximen Changqing was in a very good mood when he looked at the forty-five low-grade magic weapons engraved with three forbidden formations in front of him.
"It's been another three months, and I haven't seen Sang Xiaoyu for half a year. She must have run out of materials! I don't know how her training is going."
Ximen Changqing left the Nine Heavens Space with a thought.
After five years of various exercises in the space, his consciousness and physical strength have been greatly improved, and his spiritual power seems to be purer. If he had not deliberately suppressed his cultivation, he would have been able to break through the fifth level of Qi training. .
"Long Rain."
As soon as I walked out of the cave, I saw Ximen Changyu not far away, looking like he was losing interest.
"Fourth brother, you are out of seclusion." Ximen Changyu ran over.
"What's wrong? You look listless. Have you seen the little fish?"
"Fourth brother, Xiaoyu has been in seclusion for half a year. You two are in seclusion, and there is no one to talk to me anymore. Alas!"
Ximen Changyu had a lonely look on his face. It could be seen that he came here to find Sang Xiaoyu. Seeing that Sang Xiaoyu was still in seclusion, he really couldn't find a reason to disturb him, and he was very confused.
"Changyu, cultivation is very important. No one is with you. Why don't you take the opportunity to practice? How could you be disappointed?"
Hearing this, Ximen Changyu said with a look of disapproval: "Fourth brother, as long as you can't build the foundation, what's the use of improving your cultivation. After a hundred years, it will be nothing more than a piece of loess. It's better to live happily every day and serve the spirits every day." Tian, isn’t it great?”
"Changyu, how can you be so hopeless?"
