The so-called first-order runes and second-order runes are divided by the number of runes. However, due to the different levels of refiners, it is likely that there will be such a thing as 'a first-order rune whose power is comparable to that of a second-order rune'.

It's just that it's rare.

After all, if you want to optimize the arrangement of runes, or even form a new rune array, it is far from something that ordinary refiners can do. Some refiners spend their entire lives and may not be able to optimize a talisman or magic weapon.

With the help of the derivative characteristics of the "Huang Ting Jing", Lu Qingfeng can optimize every talisman and every magic weapon!

As long as you have enough XP!

Lu Qingfeng thought secretly, and rejoiced in his heart.

Being able to refine the Red Flame Danding in the game means that he can also refine it in reality. In this way, he can finally get rid of the dilemma of boiler alchemy and greatly improve the efficiency of alchemy.

"It's just this refiner—"

Lu Qingfeng retracted his thoughts, thinking back on his refining career in the past few years, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Alchemy is difficult!

The difficulty lies in controlling the attributes, proportions, and heat of various medicinal materials.

It's hard to refine talismans!

The difficulty lies in the drawing of the talisman, the accuracy of the strokes, the mastery of the etching, the internal breath with the dansha, the talisman pen, the many details of the talisman paper, the amount of traction aura, and so on.

And the difficulty of refining weapons almost encompasses both.

First of all.

Before refining, it is necessary to deal with various ores and metals, which seems to be the same as dealing with various medicinal materials, but it is more difficult than processing medicinal materials. After processing, it should also be matched according to different proportions and forged with fire.

Among them, in addition to the heat, there is also the control of strength.

For example, when Lu Qingfeng was refining the Red Flame Danding, he constantly issued instructions to let the nine apprentices control the fire and wind. At the same time, the chaotic wind in the smelting furnace is controlled with internal breath, and it is condensed into one powerful force after another, and the metal in the forging furnace is formed.

Zhang Zong's forging of swords with the 'Wind Thunder Hammer' is the same principle.

These seem to be the same as alchemy, but in fact they are very different.

In addition, Lu Qingfeng also had to control the internal breath into the subtlety, and use the internal breath to pull the metal of the smelting furnace to outline extremely complex etching characters, so as to combine them into a series of runes. It is also necessary to arrange and combine the runes into a group of runes.

This is a delicate work, and in the process of outlining and arranging, it consumes a lot of mind.

It is also the biggest difficulty in refining.

First of all, there are thousands of etched words, and each etched text is a manifestation of the Great Dao, which can only be understood but not spoken. Complex and changeable, like a pattern of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers. It's not easy to sketch alone, and it's even more difficult to combine and even stack achievement talismans.

Draw the talisman, or hold the pen in your hand!

The refining tool outlines the talisman, but it is pulled by internal breath. This requires the internal breath to be exercised like an arm, and it is also necessary to be extremely familiar with the properties of various metals, rejection situations, and so on.

The difficulty of refining weapons is in the first place among the three.

The reason why Lu Qingfeng took nearly eight years to refine the Red Flame Danding was to overcome these problems one by one. The most important of these is the understanding of etching and the control of internal information.

Through countless exercises, Lu Qingfeng can now control his internal breath and skillfully outline the etching runes.

Although it takes a long time, refining other talismans in the future will not delay time in the internal breath.

"Red Flame Danding is just trying. Next, the research mechanism technique will be mastered, and then the refining of the puppet will be mastered! Lu Qingfeng's eyes flashed.

Since he first saw the power of the puppet eight years ago, Lu Qingfeng has been obsessed with it.

In the past few years, as he learned more about the puppet, the more he was excited. This kind of alternative magic weapon, which is similar to the combat robot in the previous life, is very much in line with Lu Qingfeng's combat concept-

No need for hand-to-hand combat, no magic weapons!

During the battle, thousands of puppets will rush up, and no matter how many steps you are higher, you will be buried under the 'puppet sea' tactic!

It's just the refining of puppets, and on the basis of refining tools and talismans, it also adds mechanism techniques. This mechanism includes human mechanics, physics, mechanical structure, and so on, and can be called all-encompassing.

Even in the Baiqiao Sect, which is known for refining puppets, there are very few refiners who can refine puppets.

Zhang Zong has studied this technique for more than 20 years, and at present, he can only refine some auxiliary puppets that are almost chicken ribs, and he has long given up and instead specialized in the refining of talismans and magic weapons.

"Zhang Zong is already a top-level refining apprentice, and if he goes one step further, he can refine a first-order magic weapon and become a first-order refiner. For him, there was not enough time to squander. But I have a hundredfold time difference, and I have the energy and time to delve into it! ”

Lu Qingfeng made up his mind that in this life, in addition to cultivation and alchemy, the main energy should be on refining puppets.

For him, as long as he masters attack, defense, and escape, at most he can use a type of Qimen talisman. After all, it is difficult to find excellent materials to refine talismans in Miaoyin City. Instead of spending the energy in the game on refining various talismans and magic weapons, it is better to refine puppets.

"The materials for refining puppets, even if they are ordinary, can still be used as cannon fodder, and win by quantity!"

But the talisman will not work!

Lu Qingfeng is alone, and the talisman he can use is limited.

Thinking about it this way, the puppet is naturally the first choice.

After the routine alchemy, Lu Qingfeng took out the books on the mechanism technique he got from the guild and began to study and ponder.

The trick in "The Flood" is the basis for refining puppets.

For example, the wooden ox flowing horse, the wooden bird flying harrier, the armillary sphere, the geokinetic instrument, etc., are all a kind of mechanical arts, and they are also the more basic ones in the ordinary world.

More advanced ones are the Trap Wood Humans, Trap Wood Beasts, etc., which can move flexibly and be competent for various jobs.

This is already somewhat similar to the robots of the twenty-first century.

One level higher, it can be called a puppet.

The puppet uses the skeleton of various monsters, fierce beasts, or special metals as a frame. Connected by animal tendons or other means, it is extremely defensive and can move freely.

Either imitate the human body, or imitate the body of a beast.

On this basis, many runes are burned in the form of refining weapons, so that the puppet has all kinds of incredible abilities. Or the defense is invincible, the strength is strong, and the ability to fight monsters hand-to-hand. Or be able to cast spells and be good at long-range attacks.

In a word.

The source of all the power of the puppets lies in the rune arrays burned on them by the refiners.

Such as the humanoid puppet of the Yuanyi Guild.

The giant puppet controlled by Mu Yuanyi has strong defense and strength, and the one on his arm is a serrated sword comparable to a second-order magic weapon. The legs and arms are hidden, and they can send out white bone arrows, which are difficult to guard. The left holds a magic shield to block all attacks.

This kind of giant puppet, Mu Yuanyi hides in it, and controls its battle through the control hub, which can increase its combat power dozens of times. As long as you run in with your heart, what kind of combat power the puppet can achieve in theory will actually be able to exert what kind of combat power!

It is somewhat similar to the mecha of the interstellar age, which is entered by a human body, controlling the puppet and fighting.

Lu Qingfeng naturally doesn't want this.
