The advent of the art of refining weapons has solved the problem of cultivators having a weapon in their hands. The early cultivation methods were simple and direct, and the requirements for refining tools were not high, and the refining techniques were also extremely simple. The experience of the development of theories in the world is that there is a demand first, and in order to meet the demand, there is a method to conjecture and establish a theory. After the conjecture is verified, the theory is established, and finally it is applied to the actual continuous improvement and development. With the vigorous development of the spiritual world, a variety of exercises have sprung up, and special magic weapons have appeared to match the exercises. Pulling a hair to move the whole body, some specific and special refining methods are also produced. The methods of refining tools have become more colorful, and the relationship between refining tools and cultivation has also become inseparable. A variety of refining techniques contended, and the theories and theories were put together, and for a time the skill of refining became broad and profound. After the catastrophe, the cultivation system almost declined, and the refining tools were no longer highly developed, but the corresponding inheritance was still retained.

The cultivation world is divided into several realms according to cultivation, and the corresponding treasures used in their hands are also divided into several levels according to their power. For the time being, the treasures used by cultivators are divided into four levels, magic weapons, spiritual weapons, magic weapons, and spiritual treasures, and the power of the treasures in the four levels is gradually increasing. Cultivators can only use magic weapons in the refining stage, and can use magic weapons and spirit weapons for condensation cultivation, and only Yuefan and upper cultivation can use magic weapons and spiritual weapons. Of course, this is just a general situation, the cultivation world has existed for an unknown number of years, and some rare things in the world are not uncommon here, and the method of using treasures beyond the level is certainly not uncommon. Just gain will lose, these ways of using treasures beyond the level are either detrimental to themselves or detrimental to treasures.

In the "Nine Grades Scale" of the "Ancient and Modern People Table", it is divided into three categories: upper (upper wisdom), middle (middle people) and lower (lower foolishness). In each grade, it is divided into: upper, upper, lower, middle, middle, lower, and lower, as well as lower, lower, and lower, which is the source of the descendants divided into three, six, nine, and so on. According to this reason, treasures are divided into three, six, and nine classes, and those who refine treasures should also be divided into three, six, and nine classes. However, in fact, this is not the case, and the level of treasures will vary depending on various factors such as techniques, materials, refining time, and time and place, and has little to do with people. Therefore, there is no clear division of the refiners in the cultivation world, they have a common name, and their names are refiners......

The magic weapon mentioned on weekdays is not the treasure used by the Yuefan monk, and the magic weapon is just a general term for the four levels of treasures. The most common magic weapon is the so-called standard magic weapon, which refers to the standard equipment treasure issued uniformly within a certain sect. Generally speaking, the standard magic weapons are mostly in line with the exercises and spells of their own sects, and the refining method is relatively simple and clear. Jiuhua Academy is famous for cultivating sword cultivation, so the magic weapon of the sect is an abnormally sharp sword-shaped magic weapon.

The best refiners in Jiuhua Academy are in the mountains behind the main peak, but many of the refiners in the Hundred Refining Hall are also good hands. Whether it is refining or learning to refine weapons, Bailian Hall is the most suitable place. Zhou Yun, the current hall master of the Hundred Refining Hall, is recognized as the most outstanding refiner at this stage. His alchemy technique is recognized as the highest in the Hundred Refining Hall, and so is his cultivation. Zhou Yun is a middle-aged man who condenses his qi and cultivates, he is kind and kind, he never despises any monk, and he does not hesitate to answer all kinds of refining questions raised by the disciples in the sect.

Xu Chenglin first obtained the method of refining weapons, and he was at a loss. He was able to learn the method of refining weapons because of the tireless explanations of the people in the Hundred Refining Hall. Xu Chenglin is very grateful to these people, and he is even more grateful to this Uncle Zhou. However, this Uncle Zhou never cared about these false names, and he always kept a sentence in his mouth.

"Teachers, preachers and those who solve doubts. Those who can teach but do not do it are not gentlemen. It's just that the master leads the door to practice in the individual, and the things that can be taught are limited after all, and what kind of state can be achieved in the future is still related to one's own efforts. ”

Everything in the world has a process of development, and most of the process is from simple to complex, and finally from complex to simple. In line with the principle of starting from the basics, Xu Chenglin aimed the first refining magic weapon at the sect's standard magic weapon. The standard magic weapon of Jiuhua Academy is not of high grade, but it has only reached the level of magic weapon. The reason why it has not been improved is also because it is intended to be used as a refiner's test work. The refining method of the sect's standard magic weapon is explained in detail by Bailian Hall. Although Xu Chenglin fully understood, he still encountered many difficulties in the actual operation.

The quality of a magic weapon is first determined by the materials required for its refining. The simplest magic weapon, of course, is also simple. A piece of cold iron under the deep pool of the sect, plus some hundred steels, are fused with each other to make a cold iron ingot, which is the material used in the magic weapon of Jiuhua Academy. This material fusion was the first step in refining, but this first step took Xu Chenglin nearly three days.

It seems simple and difficult to do, this is how Xu Chenglin felt at this time. Cold iron is hard and extremely cold, and it is very difficult to melt it without damaging its essence. Molten cold iron is mixed with 100 steel, this step seems simple but contains mystery. If there is more steel, the overall texture of the material is soft, and if there is less steel, the overall texture of the material is brittle. How to make the material have both hardness and toughness requires a specific ratio.

The shape and sturdiness of the magic weapon depends on the shaping link in the refining process. Shaping is easy to say, but difficult to say. The reason for the simplicity is that as long as the material is hammered out, the most suitable shape of the magic weapon can be used. The difficulty is that it is not as easy as imagined to knock out the most suitable shape of the magic weapon. Impurities in the material can be removed by tapping the material during the shaping process, so repeated tapping is essential in this process.

The molding process is the most test of the refiner's skills, too few times of beating will be mixed with impurities in the material, affecting the quality of the magic weapon, too many times of beating will destroy the essence of the material will also affect the quality of the magic weapon. Therefore, the time spent in the molding process should be determined according to the material, and it should not be customary. Xu Chenglin's first refining, he didn't ask how good the quality of the magic weapon he refined, he just asked the magic weapon not to be wasted. He struck the cold iron ingot repeatedly, and after about two hours, he finally hammered a cold iron ingot into the prototype of a sword. Another half hour passed, and the prototype of the sword finally took shape. It's just that the sword embryo as a whole has no sense of sharpness, and it looks lifeless.

Xu Chenglin breathed a sigh of relief and slightly relieved his exhaustion.

"It's really not easy to refine this weapon, it's just that the first two steps are so difficult, and the next step is even more difficult. ”

The formation to be engraved by the standard magic weapon is actually very simple, there is only one sharp gold array. Ruijin Array Xu Chenglin is no stranger, he has seen this simple formation in the formation books. Although this formation is simple, it is also difficult for Xu Chenglin. For that reason, he had never engraved the formation and had no experience in this area.

Xu Chenglin held a special material carving knife in his hand, and according to the record in the formation book, he engraved the formation on the sword embryo one by one. When the formation was described, he took out a spirit stone to stimulate the formation in distress. With the snorting of the formation on the sword embryo, black smoke came out, and Xu Chenglin failed to inscribe the formation for the first time. He gritted his teeth and cursed, carefully scraping off the damaged formation with a carving knife and starting over. In the midst of mistakes, mistakes, mistakes, and mistakes, and mistakes, the four days passed in a flash. After countless failures, Xu Chenglin finally felt that he was about to succeed.

Taking out the spirit stone to approach the formation on the sword embryo, Xu Chenglin felt that the sword embryo in his hand was shocked and immediately stabilized. The formation engraved on the sword body flickered brightly and darkly, and then suddenly disappeared on the sword body. At the same time, the light emitted by the spirit stone in Xu Chenglin's hand gradually dimmed, and as the light gradually disappeared, the spirit stone also disintegrated into powder. Although I knew that after the formation inscription was successful, the spirit stones that provided spiritual power for the formation would be consumed. But when he really saw a hard-won spirit stone disappear, he still felt a pain in his flesh. After the formation was successfully inscribed, the sword embryo was no longer without a sense of sharpness. At this time, although the sword embryo was still unpretentious, the blade had a sense of sharpness, and the sword body as a whole exuded a sense of coldness.

Looking at the sword embryo in his hand, Xu Chenglin couldn't laugh or cry. The original three-foot sword embryo was only more than two feet at this time, including the hilt.

"I originally wanted to refine a long sword, but now I can only refine a short sword. ”

Although there are some regrets, Xu Chenglin's heart is still full of joy. This was his first time refining a weapon, and although there were many mistakes and difficulties in the process, he finally succeeded. Taking out the standard long sword issued by Wen Daotang, Xu Chenglin gently collided the two swords. Only the crisp sound of Cang Chang was heard, and both swords were unharmed.

"It seems that the quality of the refined short sword is not too bad, at least not under the standard long sword issued by the sect. ”

Getting this result, Xu Chenglin was secretly happy in his heart.

Looking at the short sword in his hand, countless thoughts appeared in Xu Chenglin's heart. Now that my cultivation is still too low, the formation needs to be carved to complete, if it is to directly engrave the spiritual energy, will the power increase; if the mortal fire is replaced with the real fire of life or other different flames, will the magic weapon refined be of higher quality; if you engrave a few more formations on the sword, will the magic weapon be more powerful; after the formation inscription is completed, when you use the spirit stone to attract the spirit, will it make the magic weapon more powerful.

and other thoughts, one by one, flashed in his heart. Driving out all kinds of thoughts in his heart, Xu Chenglin calmed down again. Refining weapons to this point is almost his current limit, and all other ideas can only be left for later experiments.

At this time, the entire refining process can be said to be basically over. All the obstacles have been overcome, and this last step of Yunling only needs to be good. Xu Chenglin put the refined short sword on the table, and his hands quickly pinched according to the recipe described on the jade slip. After casting a set of spells, a red light shot out of his hand towards the dagger.

"Sure enough, his cultivation is still too low, and a set of tricks almost consumes his spiritual power. ”

Wiping the fine beads of sweat on his head, Xu Chenglin shook his head helplessly.

The red light circulated on the short sword several times and disappeared, and the color of the short sword changed from light blue to sky blue, and the sharp aura became more obvious. Obviously, Yun Ling has made the short sword sharper, and the quality of this short sword should surpass the standard long sword issued by the sect.

With a few swings of the short sword, Xu Chenglin's heart suddenly became arrogant. Inexplicably, he is full of longing for the future. He seemed to see that one day he would cultivate enough to refine his own flying sword. The sword rides the wind, swaying for nine days, and the sword is invincible.
