Thanks to Norton's guidance and the sudden study by the Night Watchmen during this period, Gu Bei already has a considerable understanding of the alchemy of the dragon world.
Including alchemy props, alchemy weapons, alchemy potions and other bits and pieces, Gu Bei also had some insights of his own.
Whether it is an alien's magical weapon or a hybrid's alchemy, it cannot be separated from flames during refining.
Alchemy weapons rely on flames for quenching, tempering or blending into other substances, not to mention alien magic weapons. Basically, any weapon refiner can master exquisite fire magic.
If learning to use Qi is a sign of becoming a stranger, then learning to use fire is the foundation of a weapon refiner.
The fire here does not refer to ordinary fire, but Qihuo.
Generally speaking, whether it is through Qimen magic or special Qi training methods, as long as the flame is ignited by Yuan Qi, it can be called Qi fire.
For example, the Li Zi Jue in the Territory Bagua Technique, the whole set of Li Zi Jue spells are Qi Fire; there is also the Nanming Li Huo used by Gu Bei to drive the divine disk; and Chu Zihang's combination of Yuan Qi and Yan Ling. Black flame.
These can all be called Qihuo.
There are various ways to use Qihuo, but not everyone who can play with fire will definitely become a weapon refiner.
The training of a weapon refiner requires the consumption of a large amount of money and materials, a considerable degree of talent, and a long period of practice and accumulation.
The most important thing is that the weapon refiner needs a complete master, that is, a guide - another weapon refiner.
It is very difficult to teach a stranger to become a weapon refiner. Under normal circumstances, it is a matter of gratitude for a weapon refiner to be able to teach an apprentice who can inherit the mantle.
As for more?
Forget it, where do you get so much energy?
Therefore, even if many people play Qihuo to perfection, they still cannot become a weapon refiner.
But this situation seems to be reversed in the dragon world.
Naturally, the refining of alchemy items also requires the use of fire, but unlike weapon refining, which must use natural fire, alchemy can use ordinary fire.
But there is one thing to note.
Alchemy requires absolute control of the flame. Once the flame changes during the alchemy process, it may cause the alchemy to fail.
However, allowing the fire element to burn stably and even change the temperature finely according to one's own wishes is a power that only pure-blooded dragons of the next generation or above can possess.
Among mixed-race species, there are very few who can master "blazing". Generally speaking, Yanling Junyan is the highest-level speech spirit that mixed-race species can master.
And Chu Zihang's approach of further developing Jun Yan through Qi training is more like an act of stealing power from the side and cannot be copied.
Most mixed breeds can't do this.
If you expect half-breeds to use this level of speaking spirit to make alchemy, it is better to expect Norton to take the initiative to teach half-breeds his insights about alchemy.
Of course, based on Gu Bei's experience, mixed-race people probably wouldn't be able to understand Norton's scientific teaching method.
Because Gu Bei couldn't understand it either.
Of course, although the reason for not being able to understand was mainly because Norton's teaching level was really poor, Gu Bei also felt to some extent that he did lack talent in this area.
It seems that all his talent points are focused on things related to Qi. Although the weapon refining technique has given him a lot of experience in refining artifacts, if Gu Bei is allowed to complete an alchemy product independently, it will probably take a long time. A very long time.
The principle that one method can solve all problems is really not suitable here, because the difference between weapon refining and alchemy is still quite big.
For example, when dealing with things like metal, the two refining methods are completely different.
Alchemy requires compounding and transformation. It requires mixing and casting different materials into a composite metal, which is closer to the scientific discipline of chemical physics.
What the weapon refining requires is purity and immutability. It requires the materials to be as single as possible. Changes or even no changes are made on the original basis, and the rune formation is directly carved to give it more magical power. From the perspective of the phenomenon, it is more biased. A bit metaphysical.
Secondly, there is the issue of refining method.
When alchemy refines an item, it needs to prepare materials in advance and then process the finished materials.
Such as recycled metal, meteorite, black ice, etc. The more the better.
Ordinary materials cannot support the alchemical matrix.
for example.
The same explosive word spirit matrix engraved in special metal can not only be reused, but also maintain its original power. If the metal itself is some kind of volcanic rock, the power of the explosion may also increase.
But if it is carved on a glass plate, it may not be usable after only one use, and the effect will not be good.
This is what alchemy requires for materials.
Weapon refining is based on local materials. If there are no special materials, you can use whatever you get. Anyway, the refining thing has nothing to do with the original thing, it only has something to do with the function the weapon refiner wants to give it.
The alchemist just took a broom and couldn't do anything.
If the refiner takes the same broom and turns it into a flying motorcycle, it is the refiner's own preference.
That's the difference.
Finally, there is the issue of "weapon spirit". This is simply a conflict of concepts between alchemists and weapon refiners.
Alchemists call this kind of weapon spirit a living spirit. The steps to make it are very simple.
In the alchemical system, everything has animism and is alive, and metal materials are no exception, so the metal must be "killed" before refining.
This metal is called recycled metal.
After refining an alchemical item with recycled metal, the alchemical item can be put into use directly.
But the alchemy item at this time is still a dead thing.
Therefore, "living spirit" must be injected into it.
The soul of a living person is extracted and stored in the completed alchemical item through a special alchemical method, so the alchemical item that was originally a dead object becomes alive.
are you serious?
Gu Bei simply couldn't understand the purpose of killing the metal first and then giving him a spirit. What was the purpose of this operation?
To kill one more person?
Imprisoning a living soul in an alchemical item, is this really something a human can do?
Anyway, Gu Bei can't do it...well, he can do it too.
But only for some villains.
In comparison, the weapon refiner does not have any special methods in this regard.
As mentioned in alchemy, everything is alive.
When the magic weapon is finished, the weapon refiner will use some human blood to perform a small spiritual enlightenment ceremony for the magic weapon. As for when will this soul be born, ten, twenty, or one hundred years? Or maybe the magic weapon will have an additional weapon spirit tomorrow, which is not within the scope of the weapon refiner's consideration.
If someone can cultivate his or her magic weapon well, then the weapon spirit will naturally be born quickly. However, if the user of the magic weapon only uses the magic weapon as a tool, then it is better that the weapon spirit is not born.
In addition, there is a very serious difference regarding the refining methods of the two.
"Have you always used this primitive method for alchemy?"
Standing in front of the blazing furnace, Gu Bei felt that there were countless old things stuck in his throat, and he couldn't vomit or not vomit.
Yuan Qi is very tolerant and can be combined with basically all materials in the world. This is why the refiner never chooses materials.
But accordingly, the storage of Yuan Qi becomes very difficult.
Because no matter what material is used as the body of Qi Chi, Yuan Qi will merge with the Qi Chi itself in a short period of time, and then quickly escape into the air.
This is also a difficult question for Gu Bei.
After all, there is no need to consider the storage of Yuan Qi when refining magical weapons. Qi practitioners have Qi in their own bodies, so the use of magical weapons will naturally not lack Qi.
As for ordinary people, because there is no Qi in the body, after receiving the magic weapon, it is no different from an ordinary object, it is still a broom, and it cannot be turned into a flying motorcycle.
So Gu Bei didn't know much about how to "pretend" Yuan Qi.
Theoretically, the best place to store Yuan Qi is the human Qi sea.
But no one can use Qi Hai as Qi Chi.
Several people studied for a whole day, but could not find any material that could successfully accommodate Yuan Qi as a Qi pool.
Therefore, a few people who had no clue could only come to the smelting room and try to create a new substance that could "pack" Yuan Qi.
Then Gu Bei saw the scene in front of him.
"Otherwise?" said a man wearing a sweatshirt with bitter tea and a scar on his face. He looked more like a hero than a researcher. "Forging has been like this since ancient times, and alchemy weapons are no exception."
Gu Bei was stunned, but Akadura and the night watchman beside him nodded in agreement.
In fact, the alchemy of hybrids is divided into two parts: smelting and refining. Smelting is the production of special metals, and refining is a series of high-end operations such as carving runes and alchemical matrices, refining the Philosopher's Stone, etc.
For example, the Night Watchman and Akadura are representatives of refining, and the scarred man in front of him is the role responsible for refining.
"I thought that as a mixed race, we would be a little..." Gu Bei organized his words before saying, "It's a cool way."
"Cool?" the big man asked with a sneer, "Are you talking about the kind of spirit that makes metal appear out of thin air with a wave of your hand, and then floats in the air and is smelted into alchemical weapons?"
"Yeah!"
Gu Bei nodded, because the foreigner's weapon refining has a similar feeling. After all, it uses Qinghuo. You can't hammer it like an ordinary person, right?
Not handsome at all.
In Gu Bei's view, whether you are strong or not is temporary, and whether you are handsome or not is lifelong.
The Night Watchman explained: "There has indeed been such a word spirit in history, which allows the releaser to smelt metal out of thin air and form it into new forms at will in a field centered on himself. In the evaluation of the Secret Party, its miracle The level of greatness is no less than that of the God-level Word Spirit Candle Dragon No. 114."
Akadulla took over the conversation: "The name of this word spirit is "Heaven and Earth is a Furnace". It is a high-risk word spirit with serial number 96. According to the records of the secret party, the hybrid species that awakened this level of word spirit has not even appeared in history. It is also rare in the world. The ancient alchemists of the Celestial Dynasty liked to call it "Ruyi Cauldron Furnace" or "Samadhi True Fire". Ruyi Cauldron Furnace means that the shape and size of the furnace can be arbitrary, while Samadhi True Fire means that the shape and size of the furnace can be arbitrary. People who have this spirit use the fire of their spirit to refine items. "
"Spiritual (xiao) fire (huo)?"
Gu Bei raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, although this Word Spirit is an advanced Word Spirit from the Bronze and Fire Lord series, it is not a real flame. Instead, it will be accompanied by an extremely strong magnetic field when it is released, and can even form electric light visible to the naked eye."
Akadura is like a spiritual encyclopedia: "So far, it has no record of producing flames, except for some sparks caused by metal friction."
"Samadhi True Fire..."
Gu Bei didn't expect to hear Samadhi Zhenhuo here. He said something about it, and at first glance, he felt cordial.
As far as he knew, the Samadhi True Fire also existed in the world of one person, which was an undisclosed secret of Wuhou Zhuge's lineage.
The fire of life is ignited with the God of the Upper Pill, the Qi of the Middle Pill, and the Essence of the Lower Pill as fuel to burn the souls of all things in the world.
What does this special burning soul mean?
For example, the surface of a truly moving work of art will not be damaged after being burned by Samadhi True Fire, and most people will not notice the change, but they will find it boring.
This is burning the soul.
From a certain point of view, the Samadhi True Fire in One Person is the ultimate secret of the Wuhou Sect, and it is no worse than the Eight Wonders in all aspects.
What can also be used as an analogy is the Tang Sect's Pill Devour.
The only one who can definitely suppress these skills is Tianshidu from Longhu Mountain.
This kind of magical skill is really enough to make even a dog jealous, even Gu Bei, who possesses nine and eight magical skills, is no exception.
But Gu Bei understood that he was afraid that he would not be recognized by Samadhi True Fire.
If you want to understand this secret skill, you need to see through your inner demons and let go of your obsessions.
As long as it exists, don't pursue it.
This is the key to the true fire of samadhi.
Gu Bei knew that he was not a noble and upright person, nor was he very determined in seeking the truth. It was a good thing that he had not given birth to inner demons since he had practiced so far, and there was no need to think about the true fire of Samadhi.
However, now that he heard Akadulla mention the Word Spirit Heaven and Earth Melting Furnace, which was also called the Samadhi True Fire, he always felt that this thing had some similarities with the Samadhi True Fire of the Wuhou family.
The fire of the spirit and the fire of the soul...
It feels like I have a leg anyway.
As a monarch of the bronze and fire lineage, Norton should be able to speak this way, right?
Study it carefully next time we meet.
"Okay, stop talking, don't forget what we came for."
The night watchman said, pulling out a silver metal plate of unknown material from one side and throwing it into the furnace: "This thing can isolate the effect of the spirit spirit to a certain extent. I will try mixing it with some other metals... Don't you two? Just watch, find a stove and try the ingredients!"
Akadula and Gu Bei looked at each other, found two furnaces that were still in operation, and started their own attempts.
