Chapter 11: Refining the Wind Boots

After lunch, the four of them sat in front of the gold refining casting table, and on the metal platform in front of Ling Xiao was placed a small pile of refining materials, which were half a catty of copper cloud gold essence collected from Chu Dashao, a small half catty of Qianyun silver wire, half a catty of three-color cloud copper and six other auxiliary materials that Ling Xiao asked Boss Hong to prepare later.

While sorting out the materials, Ling Xiao told several people about the basic knowledge of refining weapons.

"There are a total of six refining chapters, including the inscription array rune, the overview of refining spiritual materials, the gold and stone refining tools, the beast refining tools, the spirit plant refining tools, and the mecha puppet chapters.

The overview of refining materials is a content that every Lingwu cultivator must memorize, including the detailed explanation of various materials and the methods of handling and collecting, and the inscription array rune is the basic chapter that every mortal weapon master must learn after reaching the level of spirit weapon.

Among them, the gold and stone refining chapter is divided into: "meaning, painting, melting, quenching, casting, carving, and sacrifice" seven steps.

The meaning is to conceive in the mind the form and function of the magic weapon and the composition of the inscriptions and formations.

Painting is to draw the form of the magic weapon and the refining process into a spectrum, so as to speed up the refining process, or divide the refining process, which is similar to the clothing design drawings in ordinary people.

Due to the difference in the spectrum, even if two refiners refine the same magic weapon, their functions and effects are also very different, so the magic weapon spectrum can be said to be the core part of the refiner.

Melting is to smelt the spiritual material of the instrument, and according to the process of the instrument spectrum, it can also be used by many people to smelt the material.

Quenching is to quench the spiritual material, when the spiritual material is in a liquid state, you can use the power of the mind and the spiritual power to separate the impurities in the material, and when it is in a solid state, you can use a casting hammer or a special form of casting tools for quenching.

Casting is the fusion casting of various quenched materials to form the form of the magic weapon blank required by the instrument spectrum.

Engraving is to engrave a knife with an inscription on a semi-finished magic weapon, depict functional inscriptions and array symbols, and combine them into a small magic circle with special functions. (After the refiner reaches a certain level, he can recite the art of transformation and directly engrave various inscriptions and magic array talismans into the magic weapon, so that the magic weapon will rarely be damaged due to the influence of external forces.) )

The sacrifice is the final sacrifice after the success of the magic weapon, and each refining faction has different sacrifice techniques, or blood sacrifice, or thunder sacrifice and spirit sacrifice............ And so on, the effect achieved is also different, after the successful refining, it means that a magic weapon is truly refined. ”

Ling Xiao's every sentence contains the true meaning of the instrument, Hong Hu, Hong Yuxi, and Ergou all listened attentively, and Ling Xiao's knowledge completely subverted several people's previous cognition of refining weapons.

What they didn't know was that the refining knowledge that Ling Xiao had imparted was a treasure of refining inheritance that many forces in the Taiyan Continent and even other races wanted to obtain.

At this point, many people may have questions, why does Ling Xiao casually teach the inheritance refining skills to a few people who have just met, since it is a inheritance treasure, Ling Xiao should treasure it?

The reason why the Terrans have lived in a corner for a long time is mostly because many selfish and selfish rulers or grandmaster-level figures in their families and sects cherish their housekeeping skills, resulting in the gradual decline of the Terrans, the withering of talents, and the continuous shrinking of the Terran territory.

Some people may wonder why the Ling family would rather fight with the Instrument Dao Alliance and lose both, or even be on the verge of extinction, than hand over the Instrument Saint Inheritance, while Ling Xiao taught it to a few unrelated people?

Human desires are unlimited, the more people who stand at the top of power, the more they want to have stronger power and more control ability, if the Ling family hands over the inheritance of the Instrument Saint to the Xu family of the Instrument Dao Alliance, who has ill intentions and wolf ambitions, then the human race will fall into an unprecedented war, and the Instrument Dao Alliance will maneuver between the major forces, making a lot of war money, and it is not impossible for the human race to be wiped out in the end.

After a detailed explanation, Ling Xiao took out his refining tools, a special alloy casting table, a furnace and a furnace, and held a strange small iron hammer in his hand.

"The Wind Boots belong to the second-order spirit weapon-level magic weapon, and the speed bonus can reach two thousand five hundred to two thousand nine hundred, among the low-level spirit weapon level treasure boots, it can be regarded as the best of the best, and it happens to be recorded in detail in my family's inheritance knowledge. ”

About three hours later, a beautiful drawing was drawn up, on which was a pair of purple boots, coiled on both sides of the boots with a delicate three-color pattern, a circle of snow-white fluffy objects at the cuff of the boots, the tips of the boots were slightly upturned, and the heels of the boots were five centimeters high, which looked very playful and cute.

There are eight drawings, one is the final form of the magic weapon, and the other seven are the flow charts of each step, which are marked with the precautions in the refining process and the standards to be met.

"Boss Hong, Miss Yuxi, next we will smelt the three materials into a liquid state for quenching, Ergou, you are on the side, learn hard. ”

Several of them nodded with bright eyes, and they could use the second-order gold essence materials to practice their hands, which was a treatment that only those top power refiners could enjoy.

In the originally deserted foundry, three large furnaces two meters square were lit, and dozens of fine flints the size of watermelons were burning brightly, and the refining facilities here were still good, at least there was a special magic circle to control the intensity of the flame under each furnace, and there was no need to use a few people to beat the hand drum to control the fire.

"Three-color cloud copper, soft texture, beautiful appearance, low requirements for spiritual power, consumption is also very low, relatively easy to smelt, this material is smelted by Miss Yuxi. ”

Hong Yuxi took the materials and couldn't wait to walk to her own furnace and light the fire for smelting, her eyes were full of apprehension and expectation.

"Qianyun silver filament, like velvet, flexible in characteristics, suitable for refining into the inside of boots, after injecting spiritual power, it is as comfortable as a down feather, this material is slightly more difficult to refine, there is Boss Hong smelting. ”

Hong Hu took the material, and he also couldn't wait to take it to the smelting that belonged to him, and immediately began to smelt.

"Tongyun Gold Essence belongs to the third-order low-grade spiritual material, it is difficult for low-level refiners who don't know about spiritual materials to achieve perfect smelting, its density is high, extremely tough, but the weight is particularly light, it is very suitable to be used as the main material of boots and wings. This kind of gold and stone material is suitable for slow melting over low fire, and it is necessary to control the spiritual power to remove impurities every half an hour, until the copper cloud gold essence turns lilac.

Therefore, the copper cloud gold essence was smelted by me. The rest of the auxiliary materials are much simpler, and when it comes to the inscription and the engraving of the array symbol, I will quickly refine and use it at a critical time. ”

Ling Xiao paused, looking at the burning Ergou, a little funny.

"Ergou, our drinking water problem and chores will be handed over to you, you can take a good look at it from the sidelines. ”

Ergou was disappointed when he heard this, thinking that he could also get a good job, but he didn't expect to end up with a miscellaneous ending.

"Boss, I don't want to make soy sauce, I want to learn refining, can you give me a good job?"

Ling Xiao held back a smile, stood on tiptoe and patted Ergou's shoulder, and said solemnly.

"Ergou, doing chores is also a technical job, and it is an indispensable stage on the road to refining, if you can't even handle chores well, how can you participate in the more cumbersome refining process in the future?"

After listening to Ling Xiao's words, Ergou finally felt a lot calmer, and he was ready to learn the refining techniques of the three of them by heart.

The cold casting room gradually became hot, Ling Xiao and the three of them were immersed in the fun of smelting spiritual materials, Hong Hu and Ling Xiao were bare-chested, each muscle tissue trembled slightly, and the casting hammer in his hand was driven very rhythmically, every time the hammer fell, there would be some colorful impurities shot out from the red-hot metal material, and with the continuous refining of spiritual materials, the color of metal materials gradually faded.

In three days, with the continuous efforts of several people, it gradually came to an end. When the smelting was about to succeed, several people's minds were already slightly tired, especially Hong Yuxi, her cultivation was the weakest, only the seventh layer of the spiritual training period, although she was two years older than Ling Xiao, but her talent was not as good as Ling Xiao after all, Hong Yuxi's forehead was sweating more and more, if it was not smelted well in another half an hour, the impurities in the material would exceed 20%, which would affect the success rate of the final casting and fusion.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao urged his mind to accelerate the quenching of the smelted material, and at the same time, the blow to the material also increased a little harder, the fiery red material gradually became light purple, and a dozen more breaths could complete the quenching of the copper cloud gold essence, so that he could free his hands to help.

"Miss Yuxi, if you hold on for a while, I'll come over to help right away. ”

At the critical moment, Ling Xiao's heart was also a little anxious, after all, it was the first time he had refined a second-order spirit weapon-level magic weapon, and if he failed, it would definitely hit his personal confidence.

Fortunately, when Ling Xiao quenched the copper cloud gold essence and completed the insulation, Hong Yuxi was gritting his teeth and insisting, with Ling Xiao's help, the two quickly quenched the materials in the furnace, and after half an hour, the materials in the furnace turned snow-white, and Hong Hu also completed the final smelting at this time.

"Boss Hong, Miss Yuxi, you take all the materials above the furnace on my side, I will use my mind to control the separation of one-third of the material condensation, and the second tiger will pour a glass of water for Young Master Ben. ”

When Hong Hu and Hong Yuxi heard this, they hurriedly manipulated the materials in the furnace to float above Ling Xiao's furnace with their minds, waiting for Ling Xiao's command again.

Erhu hurriedly ran to the kitchen and poured a glass of boiling water for each of the three of them, at this time he was a little excited in his heart, because he had witnessed the whole process of refining a second-order spirit weapon-level magic weapon, and he was one step closer to refining the weapon.

"Boss, Miss Yuxi, Boss Hong, drink saliva first to rest. ”

Looking at Ergou's excited appearance, several people smiled knowingly, and took the boiling water handed over by Ergou.

After resting for less than half an hour, Ling Xiao refined the copper cloud gold into the shape of the boots on the drawing, quickly smelted several auxiliary materials, and then carefully controlled the Qianyun silver filament that Hong Yuxi had quenched, and filtered it through the fusion of six auxiliary materials.

When those silver filaments became more dazzling, Ling Xiao used his mind to control the weaving of one root into the boots, and after half an hour, Ling Xiao controlled the three-color cloud copper to bubble in the auxiliary materials, and only after the color of the material changed to the desired lilac did it be inlaid into the soles of the boots.

In this way, it was half an hour, and the blank of a pair of wind boots had been successfully shaped.

"Next is the most important inscription and array depiction, Boss Hong, you and Miss Yuxi, first keep the remaining two materials warm, if the first engraving of the inscription and the array fails, I will continue to depict the inscription array of the second pair of wind boots. ”

Time passed slowly, and the intricate inscriptions and winding array talismans were carved into all corners of the wind boots, making the originally ordinary boots exude a mysterious halo.

Suddenly, the spiritual power poured into the inscription carving knife like a tide, causing Ling Xiao's own spiritual power to immediately fall into an embarrassing situation, he suddenly felt his brain roar, his heart was shocked, and the position of the Qi Sea contracted violently nine times, and all the spiritual power in his body was almost exhausted.

If the spiritual power output of the inscription carving knife is interrupted at this time, the refining of the Wind Boots will end in failure, at the critical moment, Ling Xiao gritted his teeth and insisted, in the case of a high concentration of spiritual power, his own potential burst out, and the next moment the spiritual power in his sea of qi was violently stirred again, and the spiritual power of heaven and earth within a range of hundreds of meters around his body surged towards his body like a tide.

After Ling Xiao's mind roared again, he immediately returned to a clear state, and the spiritual power of heaven and earth quickly converged towards the Qi Sea Cave along with the route of the exercises, and the Qi Sea also expanded twice in size.

Ling Xiao actually broke through from the eighth layer of the spirit training period to the ninth layer of the spirit training period at this time, and the spiritual power in his body also increased by as much as four times.

It's slow to say, in fact, the breakthrough of Ling Xiao's strength was only triggered by an opportunity, and the breakthrough was completed in less than three breaths.

In addition to being delighted, Ling Xiao did not forget to output spiritual power to the inscription carving knife, and one by one the mysterious runes were carved into the inside of the blank, and it took two more hours for Ling Xiao to finally complete the inscription of a set of 'Tengyun Inscription Array', and the whole process can be said to be thrilling.

Ling Xiao let out a long breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, closed his eyes and rested for a quarter of an hour.

"Next, I'm going to use the 'Wind Chaser Array' to combine all the inscription arrays to form a set of 'Wind and Clouds' that can speed up by three times, so that the Wind Boots will eventually have the ability to triple the user's movement speed and short-distance sky gliding function. ”

The inscription carving knife in Ling Xiao's hand was like a butterfly piercing flowers, very beautiful, shuttling back and forth on the purple cloud-stepping boots, and one after another esoteric formations were skillfully formed.

After another hour, the Wind Boots roared and slowly floated into the air. Seeing this, Ling Xiao took out a hundred lower-grade spirit stones from the storage bag, and urged the spiritual power to turn them all into powder, and all of those powders were absorbed by the Wind Boots.

When the spirit stone powder fell onto the Wind Boots, two pillars of dark purple light rose more than ten meters high, directly connecting to the ground and the roof of the casting house.

"Hahahaha! I didn't expect that the Spirit Sacrifice Method could also increase the ability of an additional layer of Wind Boots, it was really an unexpected joy! Young Master Ben was really lucky, and he would be a quasi-second-order spirit weapon master from now on. ”

When the wind boots were successful, Ling Xiao's joyful laughter spread throughout the casting room, and Hong Yuxi, Ergou, and Boss Hong also showed excited smiles.

After resting for an hour, Ling Xiao drew a gourd again and began the refining of the second pair of Wind Boots, but unfortunately only one pair of the last two spiritual materials was successful, but it was such a success rate of more than 60%, which was enough to make the jaws of people in the outside world drop.
