Chapter Ninety-Six: Refining
The biggest difficulty in refining a spiritual weapon is the requirement of divine thoughts, and now Lin Jiu's divine thoughts are much stronger than ordinary spiritual cultivation because of his cultivation of the Illusion Divine Technique.
In addition, the various thoughts in the spirit platform were devoured by the little dragon, thus activating the thoughts and spirits, and the power of the divine thoughts was improved, so compared to ordinary spiritual cultivation, Lin Jiu's divine thoughts were more than four times that of ordinary spiritual cultivation.
With the support of a powerful divine thought, Lin Jiu's comprehension of refining weapons was much faster than that of ordinary spiritual cultivation.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing either, and soon, a brutal truth came to mind.
That is, there is not enough material for him to practice.
So after he tried a few times, he ran out of materials.
In desperation, he had to stop trying for a while, and instead used the method of simulating the refining weapon in his mind.
And this method is also a method he found in the classics to be familiar with the refining technique, and it is also a small trick in the Zhong refining method.
This method was still used by the Zhong clan to train ordinary disciples when materials were scarce, although the effect was not as good as refining with real materials, but it was better than nothing, at least much stronger than those disciples who had never done it.
Therefore, although the Zhong clan gradually grew and the materials in the clan gradually increased, this method has been retained.
Lin Jiu didn't expect that this method in this classic would solve a big problem for him.
Time passed slowly in his continuous exploration and practice, and it took Lin Jiu months to go from not being able to stabilize the fire at the beginning to being able to master the use of fire proficiently.
And in order to be able to refine as many array materials as possible, Lin Jiu continued to imitate the refining technique and refined it for an unknown number of times before he began to refine the array materials.
At the beginning, Lin Jiu didn't have much hope, and just took out a small piece of material to test.
"......" As Lin Jiu's shouts came out, a rustic stove flew up with a roar, and then he saw the furnace flash in front of Lin Jiu.
Then I saw that with a flick of his fingers, a wisp of fire rose with it, which was the true fire that could only be ignited by spiritual cultivation in the spiritual transformation period.
The flames looked very small, but they were very powerful, and as the flames rose, the temperature of the entire hall also rose considerably.
Lin Jiu didn't pay attention to it, and as soon as his divine thought moved, a piece of spiritual material the size of a thumb was rolled up by his divine thought, and then slowly rose, and fell into the furnace with a ding.
The lid then fell, and the small lid was tight.
Lin Jiu's expression was indifferent, he had already tried this kind of operation more than a thousand times, so although he had not refined the real spiritual material, he seemed to be handy in the operation.
"......" As the words in Lin Jiu's mouth fell, the flames became larger in a blink of an eye, and soon enveloped the entire furnace ding.
In the face of the scorching flames, Lin Jiu's face did not fluctuate at all, and his divine thoughts entered the furnace through the small hole in the lid of the furnace ding, rolling the small piece of spiritual material and tumbling continuously.
Under the scorching of the powerful true fire, the spiritual materials inside the furnace gradually began to melt.
Lin Jiu didn't dare to be careless, and the power of divine thought always paid attention to the temperature of each part of the spiritual material to prevent damage due to uneven heating of the spiritual material.
Soon, the entire piece of spiritual material had completely turned into a liquid state, and at this time, the flame controlled by Lin Jiu had also changed from a large fire to a small fire.
Refining spiritual materials is a delicate work, during which it is necessary to use slow fire to continuously calcinate, so that the impurities in the spiritual materials are gradually separated from the spiritual materials.
If this is not too difficult, the difficulty is to maintain the heat and size of the real fire at all times, if the real fire is too large, the spiritual material may be burned, if the real fire is too small, the surface of the spiritual material is easy to condense, so that the impurities and spiritual materials are mixed together.
Time passed slowly, and I don't know how long it took, but that piece of spiritual material was finally refined by him to the purity required for the array.
The first time it went so smoothly, Lin Jiu was also quite excited, but just as he was about to take the spiritual material out of the furnace ding, because the lid was opened too quickly, the spiritual material suddenly became cold, suddenly condensed, and then cracked.
Looking at the fragmented piece of spiritual material, Lin Jiu was suddenly stunned in place.
He spent so much energy that he didn't expect to fail at the last moment.
Seeing the collapse of the spiritual material, Lin Jiu came back to his senses for a long time, he glanced at the spiritual material scattered all over the ground, and regretted it in his heart.
These spiritual materials are very limited, and for every piece lost, there will be one less piece, and if the loss is too much, I am afraid that it will affect the array.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiu simply put away the stove, sat down on the futon on the side, and meditated quietly.
After such a day, Lin Jiu finally stood up from the futon again.
During this day, in addition to resting, he carefully studied the key to refining spiritual materials and how to improve them.
This time, Lin Jiu went very smoothly, and after nearly half an hour of continuous refining, the spiritual material had reached a good level of purity.
At this point, Lin Jiu became even more cautious, he clearly remembered that the last time was to fail in the last step.
A muffled "bang" sounded, and the spiritual material flew out.
Lin Jiu was in a hurry, and immediately recited a scroll, rolled up the piece of spiritual material, and landed it in his hand.
But when he saw the piece of spiritual material, his face became ugly, and the surface of the spiritual material, which had become quite pure, became mottled at this time, and it was not able to be used at all.
Seeing that piece of spiritual material had turned into waste in the blink of an eye, Lin Jiu also began to feel anxious, and in desperation, he had no choice but to temporarily stop refining, turn out the classic book again, and study it carefully.
Not to mention, after some searching, he really found a problem, that is, refining, at the beginning, he purified the spiritual material and then did not go through careful refining, so the spiritual material was not stable.
After reading the entire classic book in its original form, Lin Jiu couldn't help but sigh secretly, sure enough, he learned from the past, if he hadn't looked at the classics again, he really hadn't found this problem.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiu's confidence suddenly increased, and with a flash of inspiration in his hand, the Dan Furnace appeared again, and at the same time, he skillfully threw the spiritual material into the Dan Furnace and began his third refining.
With the experience of the previous two times, the previous steps were very smooth, and when the spiritual material was refined, Lin Jiu did not rush to remove the true fire, but continuously refined it with different attribute spiritual power through the power of divine thoughts.
"Open ......"
As the lid opened, a bead the size of a little finger flew up, and Lin Jiu immediately thought about it and rolled the bead into his hand.
"It worked. After reading the beads, Lin Jiu was overjoyed, for so long, he had practiced hundreds of times, just to be able to refine the spiritual materials with high purity, and now that he had succeeded, he was overjoyed, and now the first part of the magic circle has been completed, and the next time is to talk about all the spiritual materials being refined, and then according to the requirements of the magic circle, the spiritual materials will be refined into various runes that meet the requirements.
These runes are then arranged according to the requirements of the circle to form a teleportation circle.
