Shi An began to try his hand at making magic weapons.

For the past few days, he has been carefully studying the contents of the fourth volume of "Yunxiao Experience", and this time his research is extremely meticulous, because refining is a profession that burns far more money than formations, not only do materials use more, smelting is also more complicated, and in order to achieve various functions, there must be more smelting techniques and techniques, as long as any of them go wrong, the spirit stones spent for this will be wasted.

Although he no longer lacks spirit stones now, he is definitely not to the extent that he can use them lavishly, and only after sufficient study and deduction in advance can the failure rate be as low as possible.

Despite this, the amount of spirit stones it spent was still staggering to Shi An.

He started with the lowest-level ordinary introductory magic weapon.

The functions of the low-grade magic weapon are not much, and they are not needed by Shi An, just for practice, but fortunately, the main materials are some ordinary low-level materials, which he has hoarded a lot when he learned to smelt materials in the Twin Towers City.

The first magic weapon is a short sword, the low-grade material refined iron is the main material, and the auxiliary material Qingye bamboo is also a low-grade material.

It doesn't take much effort to make the embryo mold, but the trouble is the production of the sword body. Although the materials used are ready-made and of extremely high purity, it takes Shi An a lot of thought to smelt them together, because the properties of these two materials are gold and wood, which are mutually reinforcing, and it is difficult to fuse them together.

The reason why he didn't use materials of the same attribute or simply use one material like other refiners when refining lower grade magic weapons, his purpose was to increase the difficulty and familiarize himself with the means that should be used when various materials of different attributes were fused as soon as possible.

According to the "Cloud Experience", if you want to fuse the materials of each other, first separate the two materials, and then peel off a trace of each, and then entangle the two materials and twist them together, so that all these materials are turned into two by two filaments, and finally all the filaments are twisted into a strand, so that the materials can be considered to be integrated.

The whole process uses aura, and the finer the material filament that is initially peeled out, the tighter the two are wound, the more stable the fusion material will be, of course, the requirements for the number of aura, and the higher the requirements for the subtlety of divine consciousness.

Shi An initially followed this method, but failed several times in the three steps of splitting the material into filaments, winding the filaments in two, and finally forming the filaments into a strand.

Looking at the piles of scrapped materials piled on the ground, he couldn't help but think with some chagrin, maybe he wasn't the material for refining at all, a simple low-grade magic weapon had failed so many times, it was better to give up.

"Half of those who travel a hundred miles are less than ninety", he suddenly remembered that when he first learned to prescribe medicine from Master when he was a child, there were 120 kinds of Jun medicines, 120 kinds of subordinate medicines, and 120 kinds of adjuvant medicines, and Master ordered him to keep in mind the names, medicinal properties, and effects of these 360 flavored medicines.

At first, he was full of confidence, but after more than two years of continuous memorization, he thought that he could do everything, and when he really faced the patient and wanted to prescribe it, he found that he was still unable to start as before, and he was as discouraged as he is now, and he wanted to give up.

Master said this sentence back then, "Those who walk a hundred miles are half of them are ninety miles," telling him that even if he walks 90 miles, he is only half of the way, and the closer to the completion of the work, the more difficult and crucial it becomes. Shi An understood this truth before he settled down to continue studying, and it took another two years before he could make a list of prescriptions that Master also applauded.

Thinking of this, he mustered up his energy and started the next attempt. When the fused material was finally poured into the blast mold, he let out a long breath.

Cutting open the sword embryo, a short sword two feet long and one and a half inches wide and dangling was held in his hand, Shi An first put the broken stone sword embryo mold in his left hand, and the sword in his right hand swiped slightly, a shallow, thin, and very neat hole appeared, when this sword embryo fell to the ground in half between breaths, he nodded with satisfaction, "Well, this is much sharper than the original Wanqing and Chu Jian." ”

Straight to a corner of the hut, slightly infused with some gold and wood aura, the tip of the sword instantly emitted two sword qi and flew straight forward, directly hitting the masonry in the corner of the house with two two-inch-wide openings, and the ground outside the house also issued two soft sounds of "poof, poof".

Shi An stood up and walked to the corner of the room, looking out through the two holes, only to see that there were also two thin and deep holes in the ground. "Well, it seems that there is no loss of aura, all of it has been stimulated, this sword is good. Satisfied, he put the sword in his storage bag.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

When the shopkeeper Mao outside the door saw that it was Shi An who opened the door, he had an extremely shocked expression on his face.

"Zhao Daoyou, why are you? I thought it was Chu Daoyou or Guo Daoyou. The two Daoists of Chu Guo he was talking about were the other two foundation-building monks in the hardware store.

"It's me in the fire room, please come in. Shi An let in the shopkeeper Mao.

After the shopkeeper Mao entered the door, he walked to the earth fire furnace a few steps, looked at the discarded materials on the ground and the sword embryo mold that had been dissected, and asked with some doubts: "Have you started refining magic weapons?"

"Well, I drove out a lot of work for the intermediate materials in my hand, and I just learned to refine them when I was idle. ”

"That is to say, the two sword qi that shot out from the corner of the house just now are you testing the magic weapon you have just refined?"

"Exactly, I'm really sorry, Shopkeeper Mao, I didn't know how to test it, so I casually shot the aura into the corner of the house, but I didn't expect to pierce the wall. Please forgive me!" Shi An said apologetically.

"Take out that artifact and I'll take a look. Now the excited look of the shopkeeper Mao has been fully revealed.

"A low-grade magic weapon of the trial is not worth a damn, and it is taken out to sacrifice ugliness. Shi An said as he took out the short sword from the storage bag and handed it to the other party.

"Good sword! The sword body is as smooth as a mirror," he gently tapped the sword body with his index knuckle, and listened carefully to the sound that came out, "The material is evenly distributed and the texture is delicate," and bent down to pick up the sword embryo mold from the ground, and also used the short sword to lightly slash, and the corner of the sword embryo mold immediately fell, "The break is smooth and neat, and the sharpness is excellent," spit out a breath of spiritual energy and hit the sword directly, the short sword only trembled slightly a few times, and then returned to its original state, "The hardness and toughness are also of the highest grade," Finally, the golden aura was injected, the tip of the sword pointed to the ground, and with a pop, a slender hole more than half a foot deep appeared on the ground, "The aura can be sent instantly, there is no loss!

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and the short sword in his hand couldn't help but tremble, "Zhao Daoyou, are you really refining magic weapons for the first time? Although it is only a low-grade magic weapon, it is so well workmanlike that it is definitely the only one I have ever seen in my life, and it is enough to be included in the heaven-level rank!"

"Heaven level?" Shi An asked puzzled.

"Why, you don't even know the Heaven Level? Shopkeeper Mao said with wide eyes and surprise, and then explained to Shi An the classification method within the refining shop.

The difference between the lower grade and the middle grade magic weapons is that the lower grade and the middle grade magic weapon are all made of low-grade materials, and the main material of the lower grade is generally one or two low-grade materials, and the middle grade is generally more than two low-grade materials, and the upper grade is the use of common intermediate materials, and the best is mostly the use of more advanced intermediate materials or even high-grade materials.

However, insiders in the refining industry have a more detailed division of these four grades, specifically speaking, they can be divided into four levels: heaven, earth, people and entry, with the highest level of heaven and the lowest level of entry.

The grade division of the next grade mainly depends on its strength, toughness and sharpness "three degrees", "three degrees" must be the heavenly level, two outstanding low-level, only one is not bad, that is, the human level, and then almost the entry-level level.

The low-grade materials used in the medium-grade magic weapon are better than the low-grade ones, and their purpose is actually to have a better "third degree", or to enhance the attack power of the monk's spells. Therefore, the grade division should not only look at the "three degrees", but also look at the properties of the materials used, but where the materials with different properties can be used, they must be above the ground level, if the "three degrees" have one or two very good, they will be listed as the heavenly level.

The materials used in the top-grade magic weapons and the best magic weapons are better, and the division of grades not only depends on the "third degree" and the material attributes, but also depends on its ability to release attribute spells.

"The shopkeeper Mao praised it falsely. Shi An arched his hand, and was praised by the refining expert, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"But this doesn't look like it's made of pure fine iron, could it be that you have added other materials to it?" asked the shopkeeper Mao after studying it carefully for a long time.

"I also added half of the green leaf bamboo. ”

"Aoba bamboo, I heard you right, you used the material of Jinmu Xiangke for the first time in refining? If this is the case, it is a bit insufficient to say that it is a low-grade heaven-level magic weapon!

"Well, but I have failed many times, and I have wasted a lot of materials," Shi An couldn't help but be a little frustrated when he thought of his previous losses, "Although it has been refined, the failure rate is too high." Also, Shopkeeper Mao, this sword can be counted as a mid-grade heaven-level magic weapon?"

"Of course, as long as the medium-grade magic weapon uses materials with different attributes, it is at least the ground level. But as far as I know, all the materials that use two properties are using the mutualistic properties. For example, if metallic iron is used as one of the materials, then according to the principle of gold producing water or earth producing gold, the other material is not a water attribute material must be an earth attribute. ”

"Not only is your sword stronger than ordinary medium-grade magic weapons, but it is also made of materials with two attributes that are compatible, so it is also unique among medium-grade heaven-grade magic weapons. Shopkeeper Mao was a little surprised that Shi An could refine such a magic weapon without understanding these truths. Then he asked, "How many times have you failed to make this sword?"

"About six or seven times. ”

"What? The first time you refine it, the failure rate is only six or seven times? This is still high? Even the first time you use a single material to refine a low-grade ground-level short sword within ten times, it is really rare, Zhao Daoyou, your requirements are too high. You are really a genius in the refining industry, a genius of the world!"

"The success of this refining was purely accidental. Shi An said this, but in his heart, he was like a mirror, where was it accidental, if he didn't stop using aura later, and all of them switched to divine sense, I am afraid that I don't know how many times I would fail. The success of this refining once again confirmed my mother's assertion that "people in the lower realm do not know how to make full use of divine consciousness".

"Zhao Daoyou, do you know the value of this sword?"

"According to what you said, it's probably about the same price as a high-grade magic weapon, right?" Shi An wasn't sure about this.

"It's not about the same, it's much more expensive, if it's in the auction house, it should be about the same price as a superb magic weapon or even an entry-level magic weapon. ”

"Why?"

"If you don't talk about this quality, it won't be cheap with this attribute. Dual-attribute magic weapons, even if they are mutually reinforcing, are difficult to refine, not to mention the mutual restraint attributes, and it is extremely difficult for materials to be compatible. Because of this, it is difficult to succeed in refining a magic weapon with the attribute of restraint without dozens of failures. It is not for nothing that there are people who are in harmony with each other, most of them are magic weapons used by the monks of the Yudan, and the monks who can refine them are all monks of the Yudan. Imagine if you can refine a magic weapon with a higher value, how can you still refine a magic weapon? Therefore, for a monk who is born with a spiritual root with the attribute of restraint, if he wants to give full play to his spiritual root advantages, he must be equipped with two magic weapons with different attributes. So this short sword you refined, I don't dare to say that there is no one in the world, but it is absolutely unique and unique in Wuluobao. The shopkeeper Mao said eloquently.

"Looking at the quality of this sword, it can fuse the two materials so delicately and evenly, not only does it consume a lot of spiritual energy, but more importantly, the divine sense must be extremely strong, so as to ensure that the cracks of each material are extremely fine, and the filaments of other materials are extremely tightly entangled, so as to have such a result. Hardness, toughness, and sharpness are three contradictory qualities in themselves, and this sword happens to be a perfect combination of the three. Therefore, this sword is absolutely extraordinary, absolutely extraordinary! If I were a monk below the Jinmu Twin Spirit Root, I would definitely buy it at any cost. ”
