Chapter 93: The Instrument of the Doctrine
There are so many things to learn.
At the very least, the first thing to learn is to identify all kinds of minerals and various refining materials.
A large proportion of the refining classics copied by Xu Ke in the Zangjing Pavilion are all kinds of minerals and materials, how to identify and deal with them.
Fortunately, all of this content only needs to be memorized.
Even so, it took Xu Ke two days to read the knowledge of identifying refining materials and processing refining materials.
In order to deepen his memory, Xu Ke even spent a hundredfold harvest to keep this knowledge firmly in mind and thoroughly understand and master it.
After getting the introductory knowledge, Xu Ke began to learn the method of refining weapons.
Refining, unlike Xu Ke's original imagination of "striking iron", the method of fire refining is only one of the refining techniques, of course, it is also the most common one, and there are many kinds of refining methods.
Most of the artifacts in the Five Elements category can be refined using the Five Elements method.
For some special utensils, the refining techniques are more special. Some have to be tempered with heavenly thunder, some have to be tempered with cold air, and there are all kinds of them.
There are even some demonic magic weapons, the refining method is even more weird, implanting the embryo into the human body, and directly refining the weapon with human life.
Among the classics copied by Xu Ke, the main thing is about the method of fire refining, and all kinds of other methods of refining, but it is only mentioned that there is such a thing, and there are no specific details.
The method of fire refining is relatively universal, and it is enough for the time being.
Xu Ke picked up the copied alchemy technique and began to read. There is not much content, and Xu Ke quickly finished reading it.
After reading it, Xu Ke was a little speechless.
It's still the same old thing!
In addition to the basic methods of controlling fire, quenching, and tempering, the refining techniques compiled by this refining hall only list several refining methods of magic weapons.
For example, the magic weapon long sword, such as the communication charm, and the five magic weapons belonging to the five elements. The refining method of each magic weapon is described in detail and specifically.
As long as you draw the gourd and do it the same, and continue to persist after countless failures, you will definitely be able to learn to refine the weapon after you waste countless materials.
But...... There is no theoretical knowledge of refining tools at all.
It just tells you that you have to do it, and it doesn't explain why it's doing it at all, and it doesn't explain the reason at all, let alone the "principle".
Isn't this the same as learning to draw talismans?
Just tell you that you have to draw like this, just follow the drawing, and don't tell you why you paint like this at all.
This is entirely a method of cultivating craftsmen, not of refining alchemists.
For the sect, it really only needs you to operate, and you don't need to understand the principle. However, for Xu Ke, it is far from enough to know how to operate.
Since there is no one to teach the principle, you have to study it yourself.
Xu Ke sighed, fortunately he learned the number of Xuanmen techniques, fortunately he learned the charms, otherwise, he wouldn't know how to start with these refining techniques.
Stretching out his hand to take out a communication talisman, Xu Ke began to analyze the truth by comparing the refining method of the communication talisman in the refining method.
The Messenger Talisman, this is the easiest entry-level refiner.
Xu Ke had already mastered the drawing method of the communication spell, and even interpreted the communication technique from it, and he had already mastered it very deeply.
Starting with the communication charm, compare the charms, spells, and communication charms, and you can draw the same truth.
After some comparison, Xu Ke found that there was almost no difference in the essence of the communication charm and the communication charm.
The only difference is that the Messenger Charm can only be used once, while the Messenger Charm can be used repeatedly.
In essence, the communication talisman is to carve a rune structure on a piece of jade, and then fill it with spiritual materials to conduct spiritual power, which is no different from Xu Ke's previous arrangement of rune arrays in Kunwu Courtyard.
So...... The refining weapon and the drawing talisman and the array are essentially the same?
The array is to draw symbols on the ground, and the refining tool is to draw symbols on various refining materials.
Xu Ke took out the magic weapon long sword again, and once again compared it with the refining method described in the art of refining, and came up with the same answer.
The magic weapon long sword is actually made of Xuanjing filament in the metal material to build runes one by one to achieve various rune effects.
Such as solid, such as sharp, such as floating...... Several different rune structures, combined together, are a magic weapon long sword.
Of course, there are still some differences with the drawing talisman, and there is an energy storage structure that stores spiritual power in the magic weapon.
How much spiritual power can be stored by this energy storage structure is the standard for judging the grade of the magic weapon.
At most, it can only store the spiritual power of the third layer of Qi training, which is a low-level magic weapon.
It can store up to six layers of spiritual power for Qi training, which is a mid-level magic weapon.
By analogy, the magic weapon that can store the twelve layers of spiritual power for Qi cultivation is the so-called best magic weapon.
That's it?
Alchemy, that's it?
Xu Ke shook his head. The alchemy technique in the Qi training period has no technical content at all!
If you want to refine the "instrument of enlightenment", this kind of alchemy with no technical content alone will not solve the problem at all.
What Xu Ke needs is the kind of alchemy that can lay down the "spirit forbidden" and refine the spirit weapon, not the basic alchemy technique of drawing talismans on the refining materials.
It seems that Senior Sister Li Muzi needs help again.
Xu Ke took out the summons and summoned Li Muzi.
"Senior Brother Xu?"
Li Muzi yawned, "It's so late, you have something urgent to find me?" ”
So late......
Xu Ke was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, it was dark outside.
Well, doing research has been done day and night.
Xu Ke smiled, "I'm sorry, I forgot to look at the time for a while." I'm sorry to disturb Senior Sister Li. ”
"Okay, okay, tell me something, I have to make up for sleep!"
Li Muzi was yawning again.
"Senior Sister Li, can you get the alchemy technique for refining the foundation building spirit weapon?"
Xu Ke didn't delay, and directly stated the purpose.
"Refining the foundation building spirit weapon?"
Li Muzi was stunned for a moment, "Do you want to refine weapons again?" Array, drawing, beasts, farming, it is said that you can also make wine, and now you want to refine weapons, Senior Brother Xu, how many things do you have to learn! ”
"Hey, learn to play, learn to play!"
Xu Ke said casually, "Please also ask Senior Sister Li for help." ”
"Okay!"
Li Muzi didn't say much, "Tomorrow I will go to the Formation Hall to ask for a copy of the alchemy of the foundation building spirit weapon." ”
For true disciples, this kind of refining knowledge can be obtained casually.
Just like Xu Ke, as an inner disciple, he can enter the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion at will to read all the classics of the Qi cultivation period.
"Then thank you Senior Sister Li! Don't disturb Senior Sister Li's rest. ”
Xu Ke thanked him and hung up the interrogation.
The refining method of the foundation building spirit weapon has been completed.
Xu Ke smiled, got up and went back to his room, and went to sleep.
——
The next morning, a sword light roared.
Because of Li Muzi's spiritual power aura on the sword light, the magic circle of Bishuitan was not blocked, and the flying sword passed directly through the magic circle and fell to the gate of Xu Ke's Kunwu Courtyard.
See also the Flying Sword Story.
Xu Ke stretched out his hand, and a spiritual power was struck, and the flying sword floating in front of him flickered, and a roll of jade slips fell into Xu Ke's hand.
"This is the foundation building spirit weapon alchemy you wanted. Just watch it for yourself, don't spread the word! This is the inheritance of the sect, and it is considered unruly for me to give it to you! ”
Li Muzi's voice came from the flying sword.
"Understood!"
Xu Ke nodded and arched his hand towards the flying sword, "Thank you, Senior Sister Li." ”
"You're welcome!"
Li Muzi grinned, "Long-range Imperial Sword, even if I use Master's battleship to amplify my spiritual sense, I am not very proficient in operation, I can't stay for a long time, let's go!" ”
"Okay, go slowly."
Xu Ke gave it away again.
The next moment, the flying sword shook, broke through the air, and went straight into the sky.
Xu Ke picked up the jade slip, returned to Kunwu Courtyard, and sat in the study.
released a spiritual sense and probed into the jade slip, Xu Ke saw ...... This is just a detailed introduction to the refining method of a foundation-building spirit weapon.
Is it still the same old routine? It is still the transmission of the art but not the teaching, and the transmission of the law without preaching.
Xu Ke smiled, but he didn't care, as long as there was a refining method of spiritual weapons as a reference, it was enough.
The jade slip introduces a spiritual weapon alchemy technique called the "Golden Crow Talisman".
This kind of "Golden Crow Talisman" is similar to the talisman issued to Xu Ke by the sect when he was promoted to the inner gate.
It's just that Xu Ke's Golden Crow Talisman is a one-time charm at the Jindan level, and the Golden Crow Talisman introduced here is a reusable foundation-building spiritual weapon.
Aside from the methods of material treatment and tempering of fire control quenching, Xu Ke looks at the essence of it.
Exactly as Xu Ke had expected, the most important thing in the refining technique of the Golden Crow Talisman was to lay a "spirit forbidden" in the embryo.
This method of laying down the spirit forbidden is not fundamentally different from the way Xu Ke laid down the rune rings on the monkey and the purple lark.
Sure enough, the previous inference was not wrong, and the refining method of building a foundation spiritual weapon was to lay down the "spirit forbidden".
Once you understand the essence, those details don't matter.
Xu Ke put away the jade slip, walked out of the study, walked all the way through the backyard, and came to the cave mansion in the mountain.
Walking into the reserved refining room in the cave, Xu Ke sat down on the futon.
According to the jade slip, to refine the foundation building spirit weapon, you must use materials with the same attributes as the "spirit forbidden".
If Xu Ke wants to verify his cultivation, he must use materials containing twelve spiritual power attributes in order to refine the required "Dao Instrument".
The other materials are easy to say, but the space-time properties are not very easy to handle.
Well...... Spatial properties can also be solved.
The storage bag, as well as the jade gourd, must all contain spatial attributes, otherwise they will not be able to refine the space magic weapon.
Material ...... of temporal properties I don't know if Gao Zhengcheng can buy it.
If he can't buy it, then he will have to trouble Senior Sister Li Muzi again.
Since there is still a shortage of materials, let's use ordinary Five Elements attribute materials to refine a Five Elements Spirit Weapon first, anyway, you need to practice your skills.
So, Xu Ke took out some spiritual materials with five element attributes from the storage bag.
These are all materials that Gao Zhengzhi bought back in order to arrange the formation of Kunwu Academy, and there are some that have not been used up.
A piece of copper, a piece of gold, a piece of earth stone, a fire crystal, and a piece of wood core.
These materials are only materials for the Qi cultivation period, and if you want to use the materials of the Qi training period to refine the foundation building spirit weapon, I'm afraid it will ...... Success is unlikely.
Anyway, it's just practice, it doesn't matter!
Place these five pieces of materials in the direction of the five elements.
Xu Ke stretched out his hand and waved, mobilizing the spiritual power of the Five Elements Great Array, using that piece of yuan copper as an embryo to smelt other materials.
The transformation of the five elements and the flow of spiritual power.
With the flow of spiritual power, the other four materials quickly decomposed and merged into the Yuan Copper.
The original metallic Yuan Copper Embryo Body immediately became complete with five elements, and the aura attributes were balanced.
Under the refining of the spiritual power of the five elements, the other impurities in the Yuan Copper were also refined and removed, and only the pure and broken Five Elements attributes were retained.
The material processing has been done.
In the next step, Xu Ke drove the firepower, smelted the yuan copper, and shaped the yuan bronze embryo.
Under Xu Ke's manipulation, the molten Yuan copper gradually condensed into a hub-like thing with five sword blades.
This is the Five Elements Wheel!
From the center of the circle, five supporting ribs extend to connect the outer rim, and a half-foot blade extends from the rim.
Hit the five-element wheel, and when it rotated rapidly, the five sharp blades slashed out the five-element sword qi, and rotated and cut rapidly.
This kind of rotary cutting shouldn't be bad, right?
Forget it, it's a practice anyway, let's get it first.
After condensing the embryo, Xu Ke stopped the Great Array of the Five Elements, drove his own spiritual power, differentiated the Five Elements, and condensed the rune ring structure in the embryo.
Just like condensing the rune ring in the monkey's body, Xu Ke used his own spiritual power to construct a five-element rune structure in the embryo and laid a "spirit forbidden".
Of course, this is only a prototype, and it is still far from the real "spirit forbidden".
What's missing? Of course, it's a lack of spiritual power!
There is a great array of the five elements, and the problem of spiritual power is easy to solve.
So, Xu Ke picked up the embryo, walked out of the refining room, and came to the altar of the cave.
With a wave of his hand, the embryo floated in the air.
Xu Ke stood on the altar, activated the Five Elements Great Array, operated the spiritual power, and passed it into the embryo.
At the same time, Xu Ke drove his own spiritual power, operated the "spirit forbidden" in the embryo, and constantly absorbed the majestic spiritual power from the refining array.
With the continuous absorption of spiritual power, the spiritual prohibition in the embryo slowly stabilized.
Fortunately, it didn't blow up!
Even with Xu Ke's strength, under the accurate calculation of the Great Yan Divine Calculation, under the accurate judgment of the spiritual power of the Wangqi Technique, and under the control of Xu Ke's powerful spiritual power, he still operated carefully.
The operation of the spirit ban is quite smooth, and the whole operation process is quite smooth.
Of course, this is not the completion of the refining.
It's just the "spirit forbidden" now, huh...... In fact, it is not a spiritual forbidden, it can only be regarded as a preliminary condensation of the rune structure, and it still needs a long period of spiritual power cultivation before it can be turned into a "spiritual forbidden" and become a spiritual weapon.
In the case of this Five Elements Wheel, there is a greater possibility of refining failure.
Even if it is cultivated by spiritual power, it may not be able to turn into a "spirit forbidden", after all, the material is too poor.
A spiritual weapon already has a powerful power comparable to that of a foundation, but it is not so simple to practice.
Legend has it that there are masters who practice the refining of weapons, and it is decades, or even hundreds of years, to practice!
The foundation building spirit weapon is definitely not as exaggerated as having to be refined for decades, but even if there is a large array to provide sufficient spiritual power, it will take at least ten days to practice, right?
can only be cultivated slowly like this, and if the spiritual power infusion is a little bigger, maybe it will explode.
Xu Ke activated the big array, added a layer of protection around it, and left the Five Elements Wheel on the altar.
The first time I tried refining the weapon, the process was quite smooth. The words of the result...... It's just a practice, and the result doesn't matter.
God rewards hard work, add points!
"Alchemy: Magic Weapons (Perfection), Spirit Weapons (Mastery)."
Practicing the four arts, the Dan Fu Array, the principles are all the same.
With the foundation of spells and arrays, it will be easy to learn the refining weapon again.
A hundredfold harvest at a time, the magic weapon refining is directly at the full level, and the spirit weapon refining is also proficient.
The next step is to find Gao Zhengzhi to buy foundation-level refining materials, and prepare to officially refine the foundation-building spirit weapon and refine the Dao weapon.
