Chapter 13: The Basics of Alchemy
"Wei Zheng, this is Miao Zuxun, the leader of the Refining Guild, he is the only four-star refiner in the entire guild. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
When Wei Zheng heard this, he was immediately in awe, but he knew what a four-star refiner represented. That's the person who can independently complete the refining of the ground-level low-grade treasure weapon, the ground-level treasure weapon!
Even if it is inferior, it is also the dream of many martial artists, even if it is an innate master that Wei Zheng infinitely yearns for, it is rare to get a ground-level treasure weapon!
Wei Zheng hurriedly saluted, and then asked, "President Miao, do you know me?"
"Well, I heard from Zhou Tong of the Treasure Pavilion, and he didn't say a lot of good things about you in front of me. ”
Wei Zheng suddenly realized that when he sold treasures to the Treasure Pavilion for the second time, Zhou Tong did mention the Refining Guild to him, which was one of the reasons why Wei Zheng would want to come here, but he didn't expect Zhou Tong to know the president of the Refining Guild.
"Old man Miao, should you be introduced by an acquaintance, and you are going to release water during the exam in a while, right? No, since the vice president is not here, then I will apply to be the deputy examiner. ”
Xu Wanjun seemed to be very familiar with Miao Zuxun, and he didn't talk big or small, and then said: "The vice president went to refine with his son again, hmph, that guy's refining talent is limited, but he is unwilling to work hard, no matter how much he cultivates, he can't become a big climate." ”
"Okay, okay, Xiao Wanjun, don't get involved in other people's family affairs, since you want to be an examiner, then come along. ”
Miao Zuxun led Wei Zheng to the forging room of the Refining Guild, as soon as he entered the door, Wei Zheng saw the forging furnace in the middle of the house, and those who knew the goods immediately recognized that this was actually a treasure, and it was also a human-level medium-grade treasure, which could be used to forge a human-level high-grade treasure.
"Wei Zheng, you can open your eyes now, this purple furnace is the treasure of our refining guild, although it is a human-level mid-grade treasure weapon, but the preciousness is no worse than that of ordinary human-level high-grade treasure weapons. Especially for us refiners, having a treasure forge is definitely a dream. ”
Wei Zheng nodded thoughtfully, he knew the benefits of a treasure-level forging furnace, not to mention anything else, just using a little true yuan power to ignite a raging flame like a fire yuan stone was very attractive to Wei Zheng, that meant endless fire yuan stone, as long as his true yuan power was not exhausted, it could burn forever, thinking about it made Wei Zheng excited.
"Okay, don't drool here, this time the elder is willing to let you use the purple stove, which is already a bit of an exception, if your work can't satisfy us for a while, then I'm so sorry for him. ”
After that, Xu Wanjun took out a set of forging tools, which seemed to be well-made and high-quality, far better than the one used by Wei Zheng.
Seeing Xu Wanjun helping with the preparations, at this time, President Miao Zuxun suddenly said: "Actually, I have already seen your works, and I can definitely reach the first class." ”
Wei Zheng immediately thought of the treasures he sold to the Treasure Pavilion, since Miao Zuxun and Zhou Tong were friends, it was natural that he saw those treasures through him.
At this time, Xu Wanjun said unhappily: "Hey, old man Miao, what do you mean, should you exempt him from the exam? I've been busy for so long, but now I don't want to take the exam?"
"Hehehehe, no, I want to say that Wei Zheng is qualified enough to join the Refining Guild, since that's the case, he has the right to read some books within the guild. ”
Xu Wanjun looked at Miao Zuxun, who was smiling evilly, and suddenly said, "Old man Miao, do you think about it...... You're too bad, Wei Zheng is only sixteen years old this year, do you want him to try to forge a human-level mid-grade treasure? This is too unrealistic. ”
"Hehe, I really mean that, Wei Zheng, do you have the courage to give it a try?"
Wei Zheng was already enthusiastic at this time, forging human-level mid-grade treasures was the purpose of his joining the Refining Guild, and if he wanted to cultivate the Netherworld Mixed Yuan Technique, he needed a large number of True Yuan Stones.
If you want to sell human-level low-grade treasures, it is difficult to get them together in a short time, but if you can forge human-level medium-grade treasures, then the situation is different.
"Of course I do, it's just that I don't have any concept of human-level mid-grade treasures, and the refining materials I bring don't meet the requirements. ”
"Since Old Man Miao admires you so much, then I'll borrow you the materials first, and you can return them to me later. "Xu Wanjun also wants to see Wei Zheng's refining level at this time.
"Wei Zheng, how many basic scripts do you master now?"
Miao Zuxun asked, Wei Zheng did not hide it, and said the three basic instruments he mastered, and Miao Zuxun nodded slightly.
"Very good, these three kinds of artifacts you know are very representative, and when two of them are combined, they are a kind of human-level medium-grade treasure artifacts. ”
Wei Zheng's heart moved, and he asked, "President, do you mean to say that the artifact inscription of human-level mid-grade jade is a combination of two basic artifact inscriptions?"
"You can say that, but there are exceptions. Among the three types of instruments you know, the combination of superposition and oscillation is a kind of human-level medium-grade instrument, and the specific method is like this. ”
Miao Zuxun brought pen and paper, and explained to Wei Zheng while drawing, Wei Zheng listened carefully, and suddenly had a feeling of seeing the sun.
"I see, thank you for your advice, I understand!"
"The comprehension is good, then I want to see how much you have comprehended, Wei Zheng, what kind of treasure are you going to forge?"
Wei Zheng thought for a while and said, "Well, the first time to forge a human-level mid-grade treasure weapon, it's better to be simple, just make it." ”
"That's okay, if it's a gong, then I'll lend you three hundred catties of hundred-year-old ice iron first, it should be enough for you. ”
Xu Wanjun immediately asked people to prepare three hundred catties of hundred-year-old ice iron, and Wei Zheng found that when Xu Wanjun was negotiating with the guild personnel, the other party took out a notebook of records and made a few notes on it.
Xu Wanjun explained: "After becoming the exclusive refiner of the Refining Guild, you can use your own contribution points to exchange for various materials and books, the hundred-year-old ice iron is a human-level refining material, and one guild point can be exchanged for one catty, so Wei Zheng, you owe me three hundred guild points now, understand?"
Wei Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Wanjun, you just said that in addition to refining materials, you can also exchange for instrument books, are they books that record various instrument patterns?"
"Yes, it's just the basic thirty-six kinds of artifacts, as for those rare high-level artifacts, this small Tianhua City Refining Guild doesn't have them. ”
At this time, Miao Zuxun coughed lightly and said, "Wanjun, although our refining guild is not of high grade, it is also a four-star guild, far stronger than those three-star and two-star guilds. ”
"Yes, yes, it's all thanks to you, Lord, and all of us guild members are extremely grateful to you. ”
Miao Zuxun was depressed for a while, for this Xu Wanjun, who spoke no big or small, he didn't have any tricks at all.
After all, the refining talent of the people is there, he is already a two-star refiner at a young age, and he has great potential, he can catch up with him in less than ten years, or even surpass him, and at that time he is afraid that he will have to ask Xu Wanjun for advice.
While speaking, the two guild staff brought a large box with a cold atmosphere, and when they opened it, they saw that it was a full three hundred catties of hundred-year-old cold ice iron.
The so-called 100-year-old cold iron is refined iron that has been frozen under the iceberg for hundreds of years. While the texture of this kind of refined iron is hard, it also has an extremely strong cold attribute, and when it is used to forge treasure weapons, it is powerful, and it is far from being comparable to those human-level low-grade refining materials.
Wei Zheng had also used a lot of refining materials in the past, but the only thing that could really be compared with the century-old ice iron was soft silver steel with a special texture! That was the most expensive refining material that Wei Zheng had purchased at that time.
Miao Zuxun stretched out his hand and picked up a piece of hundred-year-old ice iron, and said to Wei Zheng: "The treatment method of this hundred-year-old ice iron is a bit special, and it should be forged in sections. When burning the first half, use the True Yuan Force to seal the cold inside to the second half, and then move the cold to the front half when burning the second half. ”
"If it is not well controlled, it will not only greatly prolong the time of calcination, but also may cause damage to the material itself, so it is important to pay attention. ”
"Thank you, President, for your advice. ”
Wei Zheng took the cold ice iron, then opened the furnace to raise the fire, and a soul yuan power was injected into the purple fire furnace, and a purple flame rose in an instant.
Wei Zheng found that the temperature of the purple flame was very high, almost three times that of the ordinary flame. And because of the purple furnace, it was easier to control than an ordinary flame, and Wei Zheng immediately liked this treasure.
Throw a piece of cold ice iron into the furnace, and use the soul yuan power to seal the cold qi to the second half, and only burn the first half. As soon as the front half is soft, take it out and forge it. After the forging is completed, the cold air is returned to its place.
It is conceivable that if the cold is not sealed in advance, it will take several times the time to burn the cold ice iron, and at the same time, it will also dissipate the rare cold attribute of the cold ice iron, which is simply a tyrannical thing.
The pieces of cold ice iron melted and shaped, gradually turning into the shape of a "gong", and in this process, Miao Zuxun and Xu Wanjun carefully observed Wei Zheng's movements.
"Well, it seems that Old Man Zhou didn't look away, Wei Zheng's forging skills are quite proficient, and he should have worked hard for several years, but as a refiner, branding is the most important skill. ”
"Then continue to read, the rough embryo is almost there, and then it's time to brand the instrument text. ”
As soon as the words fell, Miao Zuxun and Xu Wanjun's faces changed at the same time, because a strange figure appeared behind Wei Zheng without warning, even Miao Zuxun, a master whose strength had reached the late stage of refining, did not see how the other party appeared.
