Chapter Thirty-Eight: Earth Fire Refiner
Although it is only the lowest level of Class C ground fire chamber, the earth fire is the earth fire, and the flame temperature is far from being comparable to the flame energy of the burning sun wood.
After Zhou Yang followed the steps of use to make an opening spell at the dragon head fire vent in the ground fire room, the dragon head magic weapon refined using the third-order spirit gold "Obsidian" suddenly let out a slight dragon groan, and opened his mouth to spew out a light purple earth fire pillar with the thickness of his arm, which fell below the instrument in front of him.
This C-level earth fire room was originally equipped with a second-order lower-grade instrument tripod for the use of the renter, but after Zhou Yang broke through to the second-order high-grade refiner, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan gave him the second-order high-grade instrument tripod he used before, and he naturally didn't look down on the second-order lower-grade instrument tripod.
The name of the vessel given to him by this old patriarch is "Zifeng Chaoyang Ding", which is a treasure tripod made of second-order spiritual gold copper, which has excellent thermal conductivity and heat resistance, and is the preferred material for refining Dan furnace Ding.
After Zhou Yang got this "Purple Phoenix Chaoyang Ding", he hadn't used it a few times, and it was the first time he used it with the earth fire, so he didn't refine the second-order magic weapon in the first few days, but just used some low-value first-order materials to refine the first-order magic weapon to test his hands.
It wasn't until he spent two or three days that he was fully familiar with the performance of the "Purple Phoenix Chaoyang Ding" and the earthfire control skills before he began to officially refine the weapon.
The temperature of the earth fire is extremely high, and the "Purple Phoenix Chaoyang Ding" also has the effect of enhancing the temperature of the flame, and the time for Zhou Yang to refine a second-order low-grade magic weapon will not exceed half an hour, even if it is a second-order middle-grade magic weapon, it will not exceed an hour.
And with his current cultivation of divine consciousness, even if he doesn't eat or drink the refining tool for a whole day, he can completely hold it.
Of course, in order to ensure the success rate, Zhou Yang will definitely not do this, basically after refining two or three magic weapons, he will choose to rest for an hour or two to recover his spirit and sum up his experience, and the number of refining weapons in a day is probably controlled between fifteen and twenty times.
And in the refining process again and again, Zhou Yang was also pleased to find that the success rate of refining second-order lower-grade magic weapons and second-order middle-grade magic weapons had increased slightly by one percent with the help of Earth Fire and "Purple Phoenix Chaoyang Ding".
Don't underestimate this achievement, you must know that for a refiner, the success rate of refining a weapon is one percent, which not only means that the success rate of refining magic weapons has increased, but also means that he has taken a big step forward from a higher level of alchemy.
The old patriarch Zhou Minghan had told Zhou Yang at the beginning that if a second-order high-grade refiner wants to impact a third-order refiner, he must first increase the success rate of refining second-order lower-grade magic weapons to ten percent, and increase the success rate of refining second-order high-grade magic weapons to more than sixty percent before it is possible to succeed.
Now Zhou Yang is naturally far from meeting this requirement, but after the success rate of refining has increased by one percent, his alchemy skills are not bad compared to those refiners who have entered the second-order high-grade refiners for many years.
Under Zhou Yang's crazy refining, the hundreds of orders received by "Yuquan Building" in a short period of time were all completed by him in less than half a month.
At this time, those refiners and shop owners who had been staring at the results of his refining this time were dumbfounded, because they found through the results of the order completion announced by the "Yuquan Building" that Zhou Yang not only did not lose his pants this time refining as they expected, but also made a lot of money after deducting the material cost of the failure compensation!
Because it is completely a spirit stone earned by his own alchemy, Zhou Yang only needs to take out thirty percent of these thousands of spirit stones and hand them over to the family, and the remaining seventy percent is all owned by himself.
"Wow, wow, what a cunning boy, you look at the orders they announced, among the hundreds of orders, there are only less than ten orders for second-order high-grade magic weapons, he is using the expenses earned from refining second-order lower-grade magic weapons and second-order middle-grade magic weapons to fill the deficit after the refining of second-order high-grade magic weapons failed, no wonder he not only did not lose in the end, but also earned thousands of spirit stones!"
Except for a few people who are not born with very bright brains, most immortal cultivators are not stupid, after Zhou Yang clearly posted the completion of hundreds of orders, they just tasted it carefully, and then couldn't help but scold Zhou Yang for being cunning.
All the refiners actually knew that with their second-order high-grade refining level, refining second-order lower-grade magic weapons would definitely make more money than losses.
But the problem is that, firstly, under their high fee system, casual cultivators would rather save money to buy finished ritual weapons than risk coming to them to customize them, and even if someone comes to customize them, it is still a minority.
The second is their own reason, as second-order high-grade refiners, they are all high-level in their own family, with the supply of the entire family, and they usually do not lack materials to practice, and they are not willing to put down their bodies to refine a second-order low-grade magic weapon for a monk who comes to the door alone.
For a long time, the idea of these refiners was that since they could sell finished magic weapons to earn several times the profit, why should they put down their bodies to earn that few percent of their hard-earned money?
Before Zhou Yang, none of them realized that if they could take care of everything, no, even if they were able to take care of fifty percent or thirty percent of the loose cultivation magic weapon customization business in Fang City, they could make huge profits in the case of small profits and quick turnover.
"No, we also have to reduce the price, the success rate of his Zhou family kid refining second-order high-grade magic weapons is only more than thirty percent, and the old man is forty percent!"
"Price reduction, price must be reduced, since price reduction can also make money, why don't we make money?"
"This money can't all be earned by his Zhou family, and my Luo family also has to get a piece of the pie. ”
The stores that have come back to taste have begun to follow the practice of "Yuquan Building" to reduce prices and compete for market share.
However, they soon discovered that even if they followed the specifications of the "Yuquan Building" to attract customers, the preferred object of those casual cultivators was still the "Yuquan Building" rather than their shop.
Even if they patted their chests to ensure that their refiner skills were better than Zhou Yang's, they did not reverse this situation, and in the end they could only watch with envy and jealousy as the "Yuquan Building" continued to make money every day, and ate a large number of orders from those scattered cultivators who heard the news.
And all this was expected by Zhou Yang.
The experience and insight of his previous life made him know the importance of "first impression" better than anyone here, as long as the immortal cultivator is still a human being, and there is a commonality of human thoughts, there will be no difference between him and mortals in this regard.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the first person to eat crabs does not die by himself, the followers behind can basically only eat farts in the back, and there is no one in ten thousand who can stand out.
"Even if someone surpasses me later, it's nothing, this Jinshafang City is only so big, and the number of casual cultivation is not unlimited, as long as I give me a few months, I can eat more than half of the market share, and when the market is saturated, my alchemy is estimated to be great. ”
Zhou Yang smiled confidently on his face, showing a confident smile that everything was under control.
It is true that although all the magic weapon shops are desperately promoting how good their refiners' skills are, the first choice of most of them is "Yuquan Building" for those casual cultivators who came from outside the Fang City and rushed to bring refining materials after hearing the news.
The scattered cultivators are suffering, and they finally find some spiritual objects with good value, but they have to be severely depressed by those immortal cultivation families and sects, so that they have long hated these profiteers in the market in their hearts.
The more the propaganda of those shops was, the more the casual cultivators who had suffered losses from them in the first place suspected that their intentions were not pure, and the more reluctant they were to go to them.
Of course, there are also casual cultivators who have suffered losses in the "Yuquan Building" After hearing about those propaganda, they abandoned the "Yuquan Building" and went to another house to refine weapons, but how many talents have been pitted in a shop in the "Yuquan Building"?
Therefore, the final result was that the people who went to the "Yuquan Building" to place orders directly occupied more than sixty percent of the number of casual cultivators who poured into the Fang City behind, and the other dozen or so shops, including the Chen family's magic weapon shop, could only look at this scene with envy and hatred, and then silently followed behind to pick up some leftovers to eat.
No immortal cultivator would have trouble with spirit stones, especially when he saw someone making a lot of money with this method.
Seeing that Zhou Yang relied on the custom magic weapon service to enter hundreds of spirit stones every day, how could the refiners of the other families still care about their figures, if it weren't for the support of their last face, they would all be eager to go out in person to solicit customers.
And after Zhou Yang gained weight in the first wave, his courage began to increase, and the orders for second-order high-grade magic weapons were also more and more.
Anyway, he doesn't have anything to spend spirit stones now, as long as he doesn't let him lose money by sticking to his pocket, as long as his alchemy can be improved, he doesn't care if he loses all the spirit stones he earns in his refining.
The spirit stone is gone, and he can earn it again, but he missed this opportunity to refine the second-order high-grade magic weapon on a large scale to improve the alchemy technique, and if he wants to improve the alchemy technique in the future, he will have to spend decades slowly grinding.
How to calculate the gains and losses, his heart is like a mirror.
Once a person has a direction and moves towards the direction, he will not feel tired or bitter.
The earth fire room is not a good place, even if the earth fire from the depths of the underground magma is suppressed and purified by the magic circle and magic weapons, the fire and evil qi is also very scorching, even if a late-stage immortal cultivator like Zhou Yang who cultivates fire attribute exercises stays in it for a long time, there will be all kinds of discomfort both physically and mentally.
If it had been before, he would definitely have practiced the weapon for two days and rested for one day.
But not now, now the refiners of other shops have also received orders for magic weapon refining, and they also need to use the Earth Fire Room refiner.
If he quit the Earth Fire Room, he wouldn't want to rent cheap Class B and C Earth Fire Rooms to refine his weapons.
Not to mention that he is not short of the rent of a spirit stone that day, this fire room was originally opened up by the Chen family for the convenience of other family refiners and alchemists, if he occupies the pit and does not, people will have an excuse to surrender the rent.
Originally, he had damaged the interests of other families by breaking the rules this time, and people were worried that they wouldn't be able to catch his handle and trouble him, if he still played this game at this time, it would be his own handle to others.
Therefore, in order to maintain market share and create a reputation as "Yuquan Building", Zhou Yang could only take out the strength of staying up late and working overtime in his previous life, and endured the discomfort and stayed in the earth fire room.
That's a month!
In a month's time, Zhou Yang had an average of more than 10 refining times a day, and the success rate of refining weapons had also steadily increased in refining weapons again and again, and by the time he walked out of the Earth Fire Room, the success rate of refining second-order high-grade magic weapons had reached more than forty percent.
With a success rate of more than forty percent, even if he received all the refining orders for second-order high-grade magic weapons, he could guarantee that he would not lose money.
In addition to the great progress in alchemy, through this month-long high-intensity refining, Zhou Yang was also pleasantly surprised to find that the barrier that hindered his cultivation breakthrough was also slowly loosening, and it was estimated that in another year at most, he would be able to break through to the ninth layer of qi training.
