The two were talking, and the young man led Liangchen upstairs.
The third floor is where books and techniques are stored. The entire floor is full of books.
There was an old man sitting at the door, holding an ancient book. He seemed to be drowsy. When he saw someone coming upstairs, he looked up and continued to take a nap.
The young man took him to one of the corners, pointed to the two bookshelves and said:
"This bookshelf here contains some low-level materials. The other one contains some manuscripts. You take your time and choose." The young man stood aside after speaking.
Liangchen looked at the dazzling array of books and couldn't help but sigh, only this merchant had such strength and collected so many techniques.
He began to flip through each book one by one.
Most of the secret books were restricted, so you could only read the first few pages. Liangchen began to read them slowly.
Finally, I chose a "Overview of Fireworks" and two weapon-refining notebooks. One was a sword-smelting craftsman's notebook, and the other was an unknown craftsman's record of ways to improve the success rate of weapon-refining.
The "Summary of Fireworks" cost 600 spirit gold, and the two notebooks had 1,500 spirit gold each, and the other had 2,050 spirit gold, for a total of 4,600 spirit gold, which made Liangchen feel heartbroken.
If he hadn't saved a lot of spiritual gold now, he would probably have put down the two notebooks.
"It's better to go shopping for goods at that street stall. The other weapon refining manual I bought only cost a few hundred gold, but it costs one or two thousand in this store!
It seems that I will go there more often in the future. "Liangchen thought in his heart.
Back at the shop, Liangchen picked up a book and started reading.
What I was reading was "Overview of Fireworks", which described the classification, shape and causes of flames between heaven and earth. It was much more detailed than the previous introduction to weapon refining.
Flame is divided into innate fire and acquired fire.
Innate fires include various earth vein fires, volcanic lava fires, natural thunder and lightning fires, various exotic fires, cold flames from the land of ice, bone fire from the land of bones, etc.
Acquired fire includes two types, one is the mana fire of human monks, low-level ones such as the flames used in the foundation building stage of Qi training, and high-level ones such as the golden elixir fire of cultivators, the fire of Nascent Soul, etc.
The other type is the demonic fire driven by demonic beasts, with low-level ones such as fire snakes and flaming beasts, and high-level ones such as phoenix and golden crow.
All flames in the world can be used to refine weapons, especially the innate fire is the most important, followed by the acquired fire.
However, if the acquired fire reaches a higher level, it can also be comparable to the innate fire.
...
Liangchen read this for a long time, and finally understood the whole book.
It is also mentioned in the book that the higher the level and purity of the flame, the higher the success rate of refining the weapon, and the probability of the appearance of high-quality products.
But he needed this to put his mind at ease.
If the purity of the flame is higher, the success rate of refining the weapon can be increased. Then in the future, you can try to refine a batch in the superior room of Zhihuo Workshop for testing.
Liangchen put the book down and opened another book.
I got it from a street stall. The book briefly talked about the refining tips of some middle-grade magic weapons, as well as some of his own insights, which gave him some reference.
After reading it, I picked up two other books.
When I closed the book on a good day, it was getting late.
He carefully recalled what he had read. Everyone's perceptions and experiences are different.
Several people's understanding of the first two steps of refining are roughly the same. When smelting materials in the first step, the key is the purity of the flame and the removal of impurities.
The key to the second molding stage is to be stable and even, and try to be as natural as possible.
The difference is in the quenching stage. How to accurately find the quenching time?
Some opinions rely on the "feeling" accumulated through countless refinings, while others say it relies on powerful spiritual induction.
The most outrageous thing is the notebook written by the unknown weapon refiner. This person should have failed many times in the quenching stage, because the most in his notebook are his own whimsical attempts.
It may be that it has been unable to sense the quenching opportunity for a long time and had to try other methods.
In particular, there are several ways to keep good memories fresh:
"When smelting the material in the first step, separate a strand of the divine image and blend it into the material to enhance the connection with the sword. It failed eleven times."
"When smelting the material in the first step, a little hair was blended into the material to enhance the induction. It failed nine times."
"In the third step of quenching, a little hair was blended into the quenching material to enhance the induction. It failed thirteen times and succeeded once."
"In the third step of quenching, three drops of essence and blood were integrated into the quenching material to enhance the induction. It failed eleven times."
"..."
Liangchen was dumbfounded when he saw this. Imagine this person's expression when he was dripping blood more than ten times in a row. He must have been in extreme pain.
However, he thought about it carefully, and if he really integrated his own blood into the magic weapon, it stands to reason that he should be able to increase his mental connection with the magic weapon.
He was amazed that he could come up with such a method and then try it himself.
Fortunately, I followed Mr. Ye's instructions and found my own method.
After such a long period of hard work, it seems that I have reached the first state of "sensing it" that Mr. Ye said, but it is only a vague feeling.
As for the second level of "communicating with it" and the third level of "I am it", they are far from reaching it!
"We should read more about this kind of experience, which will always serve as a reference for future advancement." Liangchen thought in his mind.
After tidying up, he started refining the sword in the weapon refining room.
Now Liangchen can refine a medium-grade magic weapon, but with the current ability, it will take more than ten times to succeed.
"This relatively cheap medium-grade magic weapon costs four to five hundred gold. How can this be a weapon refining? This is simply a waste of money!"
Looking at the useless swords one after another in the furnace, he thought painfully.
If he hadn't already accumulated hundreds of thousands of spiritual gold, he probably wouldn't have known how to continue refining it.
In this way, Liangchen helps in the shop during the day, and in his free time, he goes to the City Wall Trading Center to see if there are any cheap books on weapon refining. Refining magic weapons in the refining room at night.
A month passed in a flash. In the meantime, Mr. Ye went back to the store and asked about the recent accounts. He felt that he had sold more things than before, and he couldn't help but feel more relieved.
"Uncle Ye, I want to ask you something. My nephew went to Zhihuofang to refine weapons a few days ago. Because there were no lower-class rooms, he rented a medium-sized room.
Later, I found that the success rate of weapon refining seemed to have increased slightly. I wonder, Uncle Ye, is this the same for your usual weapon refining? "When Liangchen saw Mr. Ye back, he quickly asked about the purity of the flame essence and the success rate of refining the weapon.
"The purity of the flame can indeed improve the success rate, but it is only a slight improvement and not obvious." Mr. Ye said.
"Have Uncle Ye ever used the medium room or the superior room?" Liangchen asked.
"Of course I have. I have also encountered times when the lower rooms were full, and I have also tried to use the upper rooms to refine magic weapons, but the effect was not too obvious.
how? What effect do you have with that medium room? " Mr. Ye thought for a while and replied.
"It's not very obvious, I just feel a slight improvement." Liangchen thought for a while and hid his situation a little.
"It's normal to have a slight improvement, and it's normal to not feel it at all, so there's no need to spend more spiritual gold and use an upper-medium room to forge low-level magic weapons." Mr. Ye said.
"Is there any connection between the purity of the flame and the probability of the appearance of high-quality products?" Liangchen asked again.
“With contact, just like the success rate, there will be a certain improvement, but it is very limited.
Unless the purity is greatly improved, for example, if the foundation-building fire you originally used is upgraded to the infant fire of the Nascent Soul stage, the effect will be more obvious. "
Mr. Ye explained carefully.
"Yeah, I understand." Liangchen said he understood, but his heart became more and more confused.
I just changed from a lower-class room to a medium-class room, and the chance of high-quality products appearing was significantly increased by about 10%.
"Is it because you have better luck during this period?"
Liangchen couldn't figure it out after much thought, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, it was a great good thing for him.
"I'll try that superior room in a few days." Liangchen thought secretly in his heart.
Mr. Ye stayed in the store for a few days and then went out again. It is said that Mr. Hong invited him to be a guest.
Liangchen did not tell Mr. Ye his actual situation, not because he deliberately concealed it, but because he was afraid that Mr. Ye would report it to his family.
After all, it is normal to produce one or two high-quality products out of ten. If you reach the top two or three high-quality products out of ten, your family has decided to let you return to the family to learn the art of weapon refining.
If they were to know that they had used a higher level of Earth Vein Fire, the chance would be close to 40%. Although they didn't know if it would attract the family's attention, it was better to be careful.
Today, he is no longer the young man who always thought about how to be beautiful and eye-catching.
After experiencing all kinds of things and meeting more and more people, he turned into a young man who puts caution first in everything.
