Chapter 159 Refining and Alchemy II
......
There are three main reasons why refining a magic weapon above the second grade takes a lot of time and the success rate is not high: the first is the strength of spiritual consciousness, the second is flame control, and the third is the combination of the first two to condense the unmistakable rune pattern of the magic weapon. Reading artifact. YAnKuAi.
In terms of spiritual strength is concerned, the problem is not too big, because those who will try to refine magic weapons usually have reached the realm of the Qi refining period, and they are also those who have more outstanding spiritual ability during the Qi refining period, otherwise when they test whether they have refining talent at the beginning, it is impossible for them to be selected by the family and sect, and they will fully support them to become refiners.
As for flame control, if you have reached the innate realm and can condense true fire in your body, then the problem is not too big, but if you are a refiner of the acquired realm, unless your own spiritual root is xìng fire, otherwise in the control of rune fire, just to improve your proficiency, you have to burn a lot of money.
Like Yi Ting, who is a first-grade seal master himself, and can refine one to three fiery fire talismans by himself, he is a unique existence.
Although Yi Ting's innate spiritual root is xìng yīn, and after being sealed by the Ice Emperor, he inherited the water spiritual root of the Ice Hell Divine Dragon, theoretically speaking, he does not have any advantage in controlling the flames.
However, because there was no need to worry about the source of the Blazing Flame Talisman, coupled with the barbecue exercise method guided by the Ice Emperor, and for nearly half a year, he had been melting the Blue Moon Crystal Sand and the Flowing Gold Ore Sand almost uninterruptedly, so he had to improve the control of the flames.
As for the third item of magic weapon rune pattern condensation, in fact, it is the biggest bottleneck for all refiners, because the price of the most ordinary second-grade magic weapon rune pattern pattern sold by Jubao Zhai is about 1,000 gold leaves, and even if the magic weapon rune pattern is condensed exactly the same as the one on the formation map, its success rate is only less than fifty percent.
Because it is difficult to achieve complete accuracy in the magic rune pattern array itself, the refiner must constantly try and make mistakes, and correct the errors on the magic rune pattern step by step, so that the success rate of the refiner can be gradually improved.
And the more advanced the magic weapon rune array, the more the price soared, with a success rate of fifty percent of the three-grade magic weapon rune array, the price of Jubao Zhai is more than 10,000 gold leaves.
Therefore, if a family wants to cultivate the first first-grade refiner, it is conservatively estimated that it will cost about 50,000 gold leaves, because a first-grade refiner refers to a magic weapon that can refine a third-grade artifact, and the success rate is more than fifty percent.
As for the conditions for a second-grade refiner, there is a fifty percent chance of refining a six-grade magic weapon, and the top one has the opportunity to refine a nine-grade magic weapon, and if the success rate can reach more than fifty percent, he can be regarded as a veritable third-grade refiner.
Therefore, the refiner of the acquired realm, reaching the third grade is considered the peak, because there is no innate true fire in the body, and even a first-grade spiritual weapon cannot be refined.
However, it is impossible for ordinary families to cultivate the level of a third-grade refiner in the acquired realm, and only the great sects that are good at refining magic weapons and have inherited them for more than a thousand years can it be possible to create a third-grade refiner in the acquired realm with a large amount of experience inheritance.
But regardless of the second grade or the third grade, if it was only a first-grade refiner, under the guidance of the Ice Emperor, Yi Ting would not encounter any bottlenecks at all.
Because as long as he completely follows the magic weapon rune array drawn by the Ice Emperor, he can at least achieve a success rate of more than ninety percent when jīng refines the second-grade and third-grade magic weapons.
......
So in just one month, Yi Ting refined 200 hidden weapons into a three-grade strength, and also left some star ore residues, so there were more than a dozen hidden weapons among them, which were refined into four-grade magic weapons by jīng.
If it is a magic weapon such as a sword, the power will increase by about 30% for each level, and if the material of the magic weapon itself has a special genus xìng, then with the suitable magic weapon runes, it may also increase the power by 5 to 10%.
However, the damage caused by the genus xìng ritual weapon mainly depends on the principle of mutual reciprocity and mutual restraint, and if it encounters the restrained genus xìng, then the power may be less than the damage caused by some non-genus xìng ritual weapons.
However, even so, the value of xìng magic weapons is still much higher than that of ordinary magic weapons, and in addition to the preciousness of the raw materials themselves, it is rare to encounter mutual restraint.
Moreover, monks usually have an extra piece of ritual weapon on their body, so that they can be replaced in case of emergency, but most of the time, the ritual weapon belonging to xìng can still exert its amazing power.
It's just that Yi Ting can't of course consider refining a hidden weapon with a genus xìng, because just buying the Thousand Pattern Jīng Iron Ore and the Star Mine Residue Sand will cost him half of his property.
However, hidden weapons also have their advantages, although in terms of a single hidden weapon, the power of its jīng refining is not as large as that of a knife or sword type magic weapon, but as soon as Yi Ting makes a move, it is dozens or even hundreds of hidden weapons, so the combined power is definitely not comparable to a single knife, sword, gun, and halberd.
In addition, the Thousand Illusion Skillful Hand is a top-grade secret weapon martial art, and the power of the move itself is enough to span two or three orders.
And when he encounters the old man in the green shirt who besieged Yi Qing and Wei Ziting again, this trick alone is enough to completely trap him, if he casts the second type of ethereal shadow, and with more than ten four-grade magic weapons, he should also have the power to kill it.
However, the premise is still to perform the beast god transformation, and temporarily improve the cultivation to the early stage of Peiyuan, so to be ten percent sure of defeating the old man in the green shirt, the key is still to cultivate the realm, so after Yi Ting finished refining the magic weapon, he immediately began to invest in refining the elixir.
......
Strictly speaking, alchemy and refining are completely different fields, but there are extremely strict requirements for spiritual sense and fire control ability, of course, Yi Ting has reached the level of a first-grade refiner, so the foundation of alchemy is already very solid.
At the same time, Yi Ting also has the alchemy classics of the Yinxuan School in his hands, compared with the elixir formulas purchased in Jubaozhai and other places, there are many more comments from the predecessors of the Yinxuan School, and it is much easier to get started.
Of course, the Ice Emperor himself is not only a refining master, but at the same time, his attainments in alchemy have also reached an extremely high level of realm, but the Ice Emperor does not bother to refine the low-level elixir of the Acquired Realm at all, so Yi Ting's practice of alchemy is still based on the methods of the Yin Xuan School.
However, occasionally, the Ice Emperor slightly mentioned or corrected some fallacious concepts, which gave Yi Ting a sense of sudden enlightenment, so it also reduced a lot of detours, making the progress of alchemy no slower than that of refining.
Of course, one of the important factors is the abundance of talisman and alchemy materials.
Because of Hua Langying's instructions, the alchemy materials that Sister Pan prepared for Yi Ting were all estimated based on the number of medicinal materials that ordinary families need to pay to cultivate alchemists.
But for Yi Ting, it only took about one-third of the materials to reach the level of a first-grade alchemist, and then immediately after that, he began to refine the fourth-grade marrow cleansing pill.
In the end, from the beginning of practicing alchemy, in a full two and a half months, Yi Ting had refined ten four-grade marrow cleansing pills, and the preparations for the impact of the Peiyuan period were almost ready, just waiting for the opportunity to break through.
