297. Refining
For example, the spear that my seventh grandfather is refining must first go through ten refining of ores. The so-called ten refining is to fold the ore in half ten times. Then, the fine iron that has been refined through ten refining is forged into one place by hammering. This requires calculating how much refined iron you need. Each grade of caster needs a different type of iron. ”
Yuan Yufei nodded, a fourth-grade caster needs to forge forty more times on the basis of refined iron, which is naturally more impurities than the third-grade caster, so he needs more refined iron.
Yuan Yufei now understands that the caster purely relies on the hammer method to forge fine iron into all kinds of blades. She immediately began to read the Hammer Nine Styles that Feng Ming had passed on to her. The nine-style hammer is the nine-style hammer method, and the theory expounded is that if you want to forge a weapon, the most central thing is the word "even".
From the beginning to be uniform, because only even, the ore forging even, can be forged repeatedly, if not enough clouds, even if your strength from beginning to end is very uniform, but because the ore forging is not uniform enough, the acceptance is uneven, when the forging to a certain number of times, the weapon will crack.
Although this is different from the alchemy of Cangzhou Continent, it is also similar, and it is not too difficult for Yuan Yufei.
In addition to the nine forging methods of the human hammer nine styles, there is also a mantra, that is, how to use the strength evenly, not a hammer with a large force, a hammer with a small force, and the same strength from beginning to end.
And the ground hammer nine style is even more powerful, in fact, if the human hammer nine style is the foundation, the ground hammer nine style is to be subtle, if this subtlety can use spiritual power, of course it will be much easier. However, in the case of not allowing the use of spiritual power, it is through the control of muscles, and the control of every trace of muscle is used to achieve a subtle level, so that the realm of uniformity is improved again.
The Nine Heavenly Hammer Styles are even more powerful, it has another name, called Heart Refinement. It is the heart and the hammer, that is, the man and the hammer are one.
Yuan Yufei watched the Seventh Grandfather forging, and at the same time corresponded to the Heaven, Earth and Man Hammer Method. She and Feng Ming have the same heart, Feng Ming has long practiced the three hammer methods of heaven, earth and man to the realm of the Great Perfection, Yuan Yufei has only passed it once, and naturally has reached the realm of the Great Perfection.
It's just that Yuan Yufei hadn't forged it himself after all, so he gave it a try. Turning his head and asking in a low voice:
"Can I try it?"
"You want to be an apprentice in refining?" Wang Sulong asked in surprise.
"Apprentice Refiner?"
"Isn't it? Oh, learning alchemy starts with an apprentice refining apprentice, forging ore every day, and when you can refine the ore ten times, you will be considered an apprentice. ”
Yuan Yufei thought for a while and said, "Do you give the refining apprentice to Yuan Shi?" ”
"How is it possible for an apprentice to give Yuanshi? The master handed you the hammer method and asked you to forge it, which is to give you the ability, and it would be good not to accept your yuan stone. Therefore, even after the refining apprentice becomes a first-grade caster, he has to work for the master for three years before he can become a master. ”
Yuan Yufei frowned slightly and said, "If I don't need someone else to teach, I'll just try?" Once I forge it, is there a Yuan Stone? ”
"No, but now that you can forge a high-grade weapon, you can make money."
"How do you make money?"
"It's all multiplied upwards, the caster doesn't care about the material, forging a first-grade weapon, and the fee is a low-grade yuan stone."
"So cheap?" Yuan Yufei was surprised.
"It's not cheap!" Wang Sulong said: "A low-grade yuan stone is equivalent to a hundred yuan stone coins. And double and double, very expensive. The second grade is two lower grade Yuan stones, the third grade is four, and so on, and the ninth grade is two hundred and fifty-six pieces. ”
Yuan Yufei thought about it and somewhat understood. The status of this caster must not be very good, and the caster is not a big deal, there should be a lot of them in the entire Juli Continent. And it is likely that it is a small border town like Bear City that will regard the caster as a master, even if the seventh grandfather is only a fourth-grade caster, he is also respected. Yuan Yufei can imagine that if he gets to the middle of the country, even the Nine Rank Casters may not be able to eat. So, he asked softly:
"In the Juli Continent, there should be a lot of artifact masters, right?"
"I heard that there are many in the central part of the country, and there are also artifact masters in the big cities in our west."
Speaking of this, his eyes lit up and he said, "If only I could have an artifact." ”
"What is the price of the artifact?"
"Artifact!" Wang Sulong's eyes were full of yearning and said: "It's just that the first-grade artifact is more than a hundred times that of the nine-grade caster, and then it doubles up again."
For example, the casting cost of a nine-grade artifact is 256 yuan stones, and a first-grade artifact is directly 30,000 lower-grade yuan stones, that is, three high-grade yuan stones. The second grade is six high-grade yuan stones, and so on, the nine-grade artifact is seven hundred and sixty-eight yuan stones.
Of course, this is only the theoretical price, and the artifact below the seventh grade can still go according to the theoretical price. But the eighth-grade and ninth-grade artifacts are sky-high when they are taken out, and they are usually the finale of the auction. ”
"What about the Hallows?"
"Hallows?" Wang Sulong's eyes widened and said: "That's a legend, it is said that there is only one holy weapon master on our Juli Continent, I don't know what grade he is." But each of his works is the finale of any auction house, and the price is sky-high. ”
Yuan Yufei's heart moved, it seems that this caster is not worth much, and the artifact master has already begun to be valuable!
"Brother Wang, can you let me get a few ores?"
"It's trifles, just playing with a few ores. I'll take you. ”
In Wang Sulong's mind, Yuan Yufei was curious and wanted to play. When she played one, she felt that she couldn't do it, so she left. And with his face, if he plays once, Grandpa Seven won't say anything.
Wang Sulong flew through the caster's workshop with Yuan Yu, and came to the outermost workshop, where the apprentices were located. All they have to do is to keep forging the ore and forging the ore to the level of ten refinements.
Wang Sulong walked to an empty forging table and said to Yuan Yufei: "Sister Yuan Yufei, you are forging here, there is a hammer at the root of the wall, you pick one, and the box next to it is filled with ore." ”
"Good!"
Yuan Yufei walked to the root of the wall with great interest, where there were more than a dozen hammers, Yuan Yufei picked them up one by one and tried them, and found that even the heaviest hammer had no pressure on her, probably about 10,000 catties. The hammer is not big, but the material is heavy. Yuan Yufei picked up the hammer, then took out a piece of ore from the box and put it on the forging table. At this time, when the dozen or so apprentices saw that a delicate woman was about to forge, they all thought in their hearts that they were here to play, and they all put down the hammers in their hands and watched with a smile from afar.
Yuan Yufei first went through the human hammer nine styles in his heart, and then began to pick up the hammer and smashed it towards the ore on the forging table.
"Dangdangdang......"
Although Yuan Yufei had already comprehended the Nine Styles of Human Hammer to the realm of the Great Perfection, it was the first time to get started after all. It's not that the ore will be smashed away, but the power can't be very uniform after all. It's just that after all, he has the power of the fourth layer of the Black Iron Period, and even if the Yuan Shen is shrunk in the Sea of Knowledge, the soul is also very powerful, and he can't completely show the realm of the Great Perfection of the Nine Styles of the Human Hammer, but he can also achieve fifty percent.
Even fifty percent of them were dumbfounded by Wang Sulong and the dozen or so apprentices, and they couldn't help but leave from their positions one by one and surrounded them. In less than half an hour, Yuan Yufei completed refining a piece of ore. Before Yuan Yufei could pick it up and watch it, he was picked up and watched by a sturdy apprentice with pliers, and exclaimed in his mouth:
"It's really ten refinements!"
"I'll see, I'll see." A group of people came over with their heads sticking out to look.
Yuan Yufei frowned slightly, thinking there. Now she understands that if she wants to forge a good weapon, she must start from forging ores, and she must do it herself. Because the foundation of a good weapon is to start with these ten refining ores. Generally, the caster who has just come out of the apprentice may only be able to forge the ore for ten refinements, although the ore has been refined by ten, but because the acceptance is very uneven, but it cannot withstand the eleventh refining, it is the best caster, when the eleventh refining is carried out, the ore that has been refined ten times will also crack and be scrapped. for the ore has been refined.
It's like building a house, and the foundation is like this ore ten refinements, but although the foundation is barely built, it has reached the edge of collapse, and if you build a layer of bricks on it, you will step on it.
No wonder, even if he is an apprentice, he has to work for the master for ten years in vain. Ten refining apprentices is not considered an apprentice at all!
At this time, those apprentices put the ore in front of Yuan Yufei again, and looked at Yuan Yufei with bright eyes, the original look of excitement was gone, but one by one respectful eyes. The sturdy apprentice just now saluted Yuan Yufei and said:
"This sister, you're a caster?"
Yuan Yufei just wanted to shake his head, then nodded again, took the ten refining ore, and looked at it seriously, feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart. Looking at the appearance of this ten-refining ore, it can be refined thirty times at most, and cracks will appear.
"Try again!"
Yuan Yufei took out another ore from the box and put it on the forging table, and the surroundings were quiet, everyone looked at Yuan Yufei with burning eyes, even Wang Sulong was no exception.
Yuan Yufei carried the forging hammer, first recalled the forging process just now, and then began to forge it "dangdang".
This time, Yuan Yufei's movements were much smoother, and the speed was much faster. With more than a dozen breaths less than last time, Yuan Yufei completed ten refinements.
This time, no one dared to rush to see the ore on the forging table, and everyone looked at Yuan Yufei with respect. Although they have not yet become an apprentice and cannot reach that realm, they always have a feeling that it is very comfortable to watch Yuan Yufei forging, as if it is not forging, but dancing.
No!
It's not dancing, I can't say it, anyway, I don't have their vulgar feeling, but the voice doesn't seem to be harsh, there is a rhythm.
Yuan Yufei put down the forging hammer and looked at this piece of ten refining ore seriously. At this time, neither the soul power nor the divine sense could be probed out of her body, and she could only observe with her naked eyes. Observe according to the inheritance of the three hammers of heaven, earth and man.
A slight hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, and she felt that this piece of ore could definitely reach the level of seventy refinements, that is to say, it had reached the middle realm of human hammer. And through this forging, Yuan Yufei is more sure of the human hammer nine styles. Immediately, another piece of ore was taken out and forged.
This time it took a shorter time, and it took less than fifty breaths to refine the ore ten. And it has reached the realm of being able to refine a hundred times. But she knew that this was not the limit of the Nine Styles of the Human Hammer, but the limit of the Nine Styles of the Human Hammer could be forged into a demigod weapon.
