Chapter 330: Qiankun Furnace
"May I ask what weapon this young hero needs to build?" The guy in the blacksmith shop couldn't help but ask enthusiastically when he saw Chu Yun coming in. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This blacksmith shop is the largest blacksmith shop in Yangzhou Prefecture, although its forging ability cannot be compared with the forging level of Qingcheng and other sects, but it is much stronger than ordinary small and medium-sized sects, at least it can forge low-grade treasure-level weapons here.
Chu Yun also came here precisely because he knew the strength here.
After all, the creation of the alchemy furnace itself is different from weapons, and the essence of this new type of alchemy furnace that Chu Yun pondered is just an ordinary alchemy furnace, although the materials are all relatively precious minerals, but the technical requirements for its creation are at most equivalent to the level of a low-grade treasure soldier, otherwise Chu Yun would not have chosen this blacksmith shop.
Of course, the alchemy furnace created by the blacksmith alone is not the final product.
After this guy's questioning, Chu Yun directly put forward his own request: "I want to build an alchemy furnace, and the specific dimensions and materials are all on this piece of paper." ”
After speaking, Chu Yun handed over a dense design drawing.
"Alchemy Furnace?" The guy was a little puzzled, but the confusion was not that someone asked them to build an alchemy furnace in a blacksmith shop, but that Chu Yun was already an alchemist at such a young age.
Thinking that the other party might be an alchemist, the respect on this guy's face became a little stronger.
However, when the man finished reading the materials listed on the paper, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and his whole face wrinkled together, as if he was constipated.
"This young man, are you sure you want to build an alchemy furnace in this way? Its price ......"
"You don't need to worry about the price, I just want to know if you can build this alchemy furnace here."
When this guy heard that someone doubted the skills of his blacksmith shop, he immediately stiffened his neck and said, "Of course there is no problem! Our Huangji blacksmith shop is the best blacksmith shop in Yangzhou City. ”
"Okay, let's build it to this standard."
"This ...... Shaoxia, the little one needs to calculate the final cost of this alchemy furnace first. In addition, since the Shaoxia you create is a special item, you need to pay a 60% deposit first. The guy said.
A 60% deposit is definitely high, and a 10% deposit is generally required to build a weapon.
But this is absolutely understandable, as the shop guy said, the alchemy furnace is a special item, if the blacksmith shop is built, but the buyer doesn't want it, then the shop will lose a lot. What's more, the materials used in this alchemy furnace built by Chu Yun are indeed very special, it needs to use seven kinds of precious minerals to create low-grade treasure soldiers to smelt and forge, and only after thousands of tempers can the alchemy furnace be cast.
For precious materials, the increase in the number of tempering will only increase the purity of the material, but it does not mean that the purer the material is stronger or sharper, sometimes the material that is too pure will be softer.
But the alchemy furnace is different, according to the alchemy furnace designed by Chu Yun, it does not need to be too strong, but it must have enough energy permeability, and this aspect is related to the purity of the material, the purer the material energy permeability, the better.
And the seven materials that Chu Yun chose, each of them had different qualities, but they all had one thing in common, that is, they had excellent permeability to energy.
For example, Frost Iron is extremely permeable to cold energy, but the rest of the energy cannot pass through. Copper of the Burning Sun is the polar opposite of Iron of Frost.
The fusion of these materials was the basis for Chu Yun to lay out the formation on the alchemy furnace.
The formation chosen by Chu Yun is a formation called the Spirit Gathering Array, this kind of formation is not very common in the rivers and lakes, first of all, the skills required to set up the Spirit Gathering Array are high, and it is impossible to arrange the Spirit Gathering Array without a formation level of more than 6, and secondly, the Spirit Gathering Array itself is not a large formation, and it is effective at most within a radius of one or two feet.
Such a small formation is naturally impossible to assist in cultivation, and it is more that the pharmacist uses the Spirit Gathering Array for the cultivation of medicinal materials, and after arranging the Spirit Gathering Array around some small plants, it can accelerate the growth of the medicine.
Correspondingly, this Spirit Gathering Array is also suitable for use in the alchemy furnace. Of course, the premise is that the alchemy furnace is relatively small, and if it is the kind of alchemy furnace that is high for one person, it will not be able to arrange the spirit gathering array.
Generally speaking, a large alchemy furnace is the most suitable for large-scale refining of ordinary pills, while when refining extremely precious pills, it is more appropriate to use a small alchemy furnace, which makes it easier to control the heat.
The combination of the Spirit Gathering Array and the small alchemy furnace was naturally used to refine precious pills. Therefore, there is no problem in this regard.
In the end, the shopkeeper calculated and came up with the cost of this alchemy furnace, which was as high as 10,000 taels of gold.
This is definitely an extremely high price, after all, a low-grade treasure soldier is only two or three thousand taels of gold. However, considering the materials and processes of this alchemy furnace, Chu Yun felt that this ten thousand taels was also kind.
At that moment, Chu Yun took out the golden ticket of six thousand taels of gold and handed it to the other party, and the other party also gave him a voucher and asked him to come and take this alchemy furnace the day after tomorrow.
Chu Yun naturally didn't have any sense to this, Chu Yun didn't have the luxury of expecting to get the alchemy furnace immediately.
Then Chu Yun left the blacksmith shop and returned to the inn, where a large pile of medicinal herbs was piled up in the corner of the guest room.
Chu Yun was not idle now, he needed to re-select and sort out these medicinal materials, and use the best medicinal materials among them. After all, the True Qi Yuan Pill refined this time was an extremely precious pill, and if there was a problem with the alchemy because of the quality of the auxiliary medicine, Chu Yunke would want to cry without tears.
In the past, Chu Yun had only done alchemy twice to select medicinal materials, and if it was an ordinary medicinal material, he didn't need to do this at all. Because the two times of knowledge were in the Qingcheng faction, naturally someone helped him choose the medicinal materials, but here, he had to do it himself.
This was a very meticulous job, Chu Yun carefully observed each medicinal herb, and then selected it.
There were many types of medicinal materials involved in the True Qi Yuan Dan Speed, and it took Chu Yun most of the day to select them all.
Immediately afterward, Chu Yun began to prepare for the subsequent manufacturing process of the alchemy furnace.
The alchemy furnace created by the blacksmith shop was only a semi-finished product, and Chu Yun still needed to arrange the formation on it.
This matter is also very simple, that is, the jade stones with different energy stored are inlaid on the grooves reserved by the alchemy furnace.
Jade is the most common item used for arrays, as it has an energy storage effect. With jade, I don't know how to gather the spirit array, and it can completely complement each other.
Formation is a combination of points and lines. The point is the node of the formation, and the line is the line where the energy flows when the formation is running.
When Chu Yun's alchemy furnace was being built, the line had already been determined, and it was those special minerals that outlined it. What Chu Yun needed to do was to place these points and install a full one hundred and eight thumb-sized jade pieces on the alchemy furnace, so that the Spirit Gathering Array would be completely arranged.
Chu Yun went to a jewelry store, spent only two hundred taels of gold, and bought enough jade, and then returned to the inn and began to carve according to the established appearance.
Laying out the formation, it is naturally impossible to simply place the items according to a certain law, if so, it is too simple.
The real difficulty in it is the inscription of the formation base, that is, the items that make up the formation nodes.
The shape, size, and texture of the nodes of different formations are very different, and the higher the level of the formation, the more complex the lines of these items, and the more stringent requirements for their order and thickness.
Even the engraving of some lines requires the cooperation of internal forces......
These were not difficult for Chu Yun, he spent a whole day to complete the carving of the formation base, and at this time, after lunch, Chu Yun set off directly to the blacksmith shop.
At this time, the alchemy furnace had been built, and after Chu Yun had delivered enough golden tickets, he left with this alchemy furnace that was more than two feet high.
Although this alchemy furnace is not big, its weight is not low, it weighs a thousand catties, but fortunately, this weight is nothing to Chu Yun, so he took it back to the inn directly.
Now it can be said that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
Without any hesitation, Chu Yun took out the formation foundation stone that had just been inscribed, and began to put them into the reserved holes on the alchemy furnace one by one.
The size of these holes was completely consistent with the formation cornerstone engraved by Chu Yun, and with the ingenious design, it was impossible to take it out after putting it in.
When the last piece of jade was put in, a blue light flashed on the surface of the alchemy furnace, adding a touch of mystery to the entire alchemy furnace.
"It seems that it's time to give this Dan furnace a name, could this thing be the first alchemy furnace with a formation in this world?" The corners of Chu Yun's mouth were slightly upturned, and there was a look of pride in his heart.
Don't look at it, it was easy for Chu Yun to integrate the formation into the alchemy furnace, but this was not something that ordinary people could do.
First of all, for the emergence of this idea, it is necessary to have a deep understanding of the pill and the formation, and secondly, the production also needs to be very clear about the alchemy principle of the Dan furnace, and at the same time, it must also have a very high level of formation cultivation.
Obviously, it is not bad for a person in the martial arts to have some achievements in one of the alchemy or formation methods, but refining two is simply not something that a person can accomplish. If it weren't for the fact that Chu Yun was a soul of two lifetimes, and he already had a top-level physician profession as soon as he came to this world, he probably wouldn't have chosen to cultivate the formation together, so naturally it would be impossible to make such an alchemy furnace.
"Let's call it Qiankun Furnace!" The corners of Chu Yun's mouth curled, and he took an atmospheric name, although he really wanted to call his Ding Furnace Qiankun Ding, but after thinking about it, he still gave up, he really wanted to take this name, it was just a joke.
"Let's refine a few ordinary pills first and try the effect." Chu Yun made a decision in an instant.
His brain was not kicked by the donkey, so it was naturally impossible to directly use this newly created Dan furnace to directly refine the True Qi Yuan Dan. (To be continued.) )
