The family competition came to an end. Liangchen went to visit Ye Kai's residence the next day, but was blocked from the door, saying that he was recuperating and could not see guests.
He went to sit with his mother for a while and chatted with her for a long time.
Then he returned to Magic Dragon City with Uncle Ye.
When Liangchen arrived at Magic Dragon City, he felt like he was home, but when he arrived at the family, he felt like he was visiting relatives.
Maybe it's because he knows that that place doesn't belong to him.
And my stage should be in the land of Magic Dragon City!
This family trip made him feel calmer and more peaceful.
In the past, I always wanted to go back, prove myself again, and regain the attention of everyone.
But when I went back after so many years, I found that everything had changed.
He is just a spectator in the audience, and what shines in the ring is the light of others.
Mr. Ye is right, everyone has his own sky, the key is to find his own sky!
Liangchen settled down, helped in the shop during the day, and continued to practice swordsmanship at night.
....
Like this, a year passed by in a flash.
After countless nights of hard work, Liangchen's sweat finally paid off, and the success rate of the refined sword was basically 100%.
The realm has also improved, approaching the intermediate level of the late stage of Qi training.
After more than a year of refining weapons, too many high-quality and top-quality swords have been produced. This has made the business of Ye's shop more and more prosperous, and also made his storage bag bulge!
If he hadn't been able to only refine the Maple Leaf Sword, a single fire-attribute magic weapon, the business would have been even better.
But even so, the Ye Family Arms Shop has become a good place for some low-level sword cultivators to go shopping for treasures.
The transaction with the man continued, and after such a long period of cooperation, the two gradually became familiar with each other.
This man's name is Yun Beitai. According to the man, he is a casual cultivator who uses Kunai Spiritual Gold to maintain his practice, so he learns to do some business on his own, collects Liangchen's sword, and spends some time selling it to others to earn a little profit from it.
After Liangchen found out about it, he understood his hard work and often accepted less. As time went by, the two of them became more and more familiar with each other.
...
On this day, Liangchen refined three war swords and turned them into two.
Seeing that his sword-making success rate was becoming more and more stable, he found Mr. Ye.
"Uncle Ye, should Liangchen be considered a skilled craftsman at this time?" Liangchen asked Uncle Ye.
"No." Mr. Ye replied.
"Uncle Ye didn't say that if you can refine low-grade spiritual weapons 100%, you can be called a craftsman." Liangchen asked doubtfully.
"Refining weapons is like practicing calligraphy. You can only write this one word neatly. Does that mean you can write?" Uncle Ye said with a smile.
"The five elements of heaven and earth, metal, wood, water, fire and earth, must have at least three attributes of magic weapons, reaching 16%, before you can be called a craftsman. You have only completed one, and you are still just an entry-level craftsman." Ye Lao explained.
"That's it." Liangchen suddenly realized.
So he began to try to refine swords with other attributes.
After much thought, Liangchen considered that he had water spiritual roots, so he decided to start refining the water attribute magic weapon Qingyun Sword.
According to the list given by Mr. Ye, he purchased materials such as Ice Ling Stone, Leopard Tu Spring Water, Gold and Silver Fish Blood, Cloud Fox Tail, and Ink Gold Powder...
And prepare two copies of all materials.
Liangchen came to Zhihuofang, entered the room with ease, and then took out a few materials from the storage bag, which were the refining materials of Qingyun Sword.
He sacrificed the Deer King Cauldron, and the earth vein flames rose up and wrapped the beast cauldron in it, and started the Yun cauldron.
Liangchen checked the materials and then started arranging them.
"Water attribute magic weapon, the refining temperature cannot be too high."
"Bingling stone should melt slowly at low temperature."
"After mixing gold and silver fish blood with ink gold, a piece of black ice should be added."
"The last pouring of the spiritual water will slow things down."
While arranging the materials, I thought over several key points that Mr. Ye said in my mind.
After the Yunding Cauldron was completed and the temperature inside the cauldron reached the temperature for melting the ice stone, he began to put the main material, the ice stone, into the cauldron and began to smelt it.
After several years of training, his proficiency in refining materials has become astonishing, and he has also achieved proficiency in controlling flames.
Bingling stone has a low melting point and will begin to melt slowly after a while.
"Don't smelt too fast."
Liangchen carefully controlled the flames to slowly lower, thinking to himself.
After another half an hour, the ice stone completely melted and the impurities were refined, turning into a transparent liquid.
At the right time, the second step begins: condensation forming.
On the one hand, he controlled the flame to ensure that the overall temperature in the cauldron was stable at a temperature suitable for molding, and on the other hand, he allocated a part of his mana to control the mineral liquid in the cauldron to slowly form.
After several years of practice, coupled with the growth of his magic power, he has been able to complete this step with ease.
The mineral fluid slowly flowed forward and condensed. After more than an hour, a sword's spine glowed with green light, and the long sword with a transparent blade finally took shape!
Liangchen sensed the temperature inside the cauldron, then lowered the temperature slightly, then took a deep breath and began to quench the sword.
While sensing the surrounding temperature, he sensed the temperature of the sword.
For a moment, he seemed to hear the call of the sword in his heart...
He knew it was time for quenching!
With a wave of one hand, he slowly poured the gold and silver fish demon blood in the bottle onto the sword. The demon blood turned into a dark green mist and enveloped the sword.
The sword and the mist merged to make a sound of "呲呲-".
Just like this, after more than an hour, the dark green mist had turned into a layer of light mist that could not be seen clearly. After waiting for another stick of incense, the light green mist completely disappeared.
He quickly poured the prepared spiritual water on the sword body slowly, and a layer of white mist slowly rose again.
After half an hour of this, the quenching was finally completed.
Liangchen breathed a sigh of relief, sat down slowly, and sensed the Qingyun Sword in the cauldron. After waiting for about half an hour, he still didn't see any strange phenomena.
"Haha... it seems it's not that simple!" He smiled bitterly.
He took a short rest to prepare, and then began to refine the second handle.
A few hours later, Liangchen slowly walked out of Zhihuofang with a wry smile.
Both swords failed!
....
Returning to the shop, he communicated with Mr. Ye about the problems he encountered. He bought a few more materials and walked into Zhihuofang.
Maybe it's because I have become more and more proficient in refining swords in the past. Although the details of refining magic weapons with other attributes seem to be different, they are generally the same.
After several days of practice, and after using more than a dozen swords, Liangchen finally mastered the first Qingyun Sword.
Time moves forward slowly, like flowing water that never stops.
After half a year of hard training, Liangchen finally became proficient in Qingyun Sword, and could reach the level of 100% to 67%.
Then he began to learn to make a metallic sword, the Silver Snake Sword.
After another half a year, I can finally master the Silver Snake Sword.
Since then, Liangchen has successfully become a craftsman!
...
Uncle Ye was very happy to see Liangchen finally becoming a weapon craftsman, and quickly reported the matter to his family.
After the family learned about this, they expressed more concern than before, and the second elder also suggested that he return to the family to continue learning weapon refining.
Liangchen thought about it again and again, and finally expressed his desire to stay in Magic Dragon City.
First of all, I have become accustomed to this place and this kind of life.
Secondly, if you go back, the family will arrange a new weapon-refining master, which may be helpful in cultivation.
But just like Ye Kai said, his hard-won freedom will no longer exist.
More importantly, through weapon refining, you can now obtain enough spiritual gold to support learning weapon refining and purchasing elixirs.
What the family can give, you can get by yourself through hard work.
Of course, there are other thoughts deep in my heart, such as if Sheng Qianshan comes back to find me,
Or what about another person who is burned into your heart like a flame?
