Chapter 12: Gathering Water
Sects with a little scale will have their own refining tools and alchemy talents.
High-level production talents are usually treated with the courtesy of the sect, and they are an important pillar of the prosperity of the sect.
Qianfumen is good at making talismans, but the refining is also very famous, and the reputation of the Qianfumen refining comes from Master Tang Chen.
The master can refine the Qiankun bag.
In the entire small warehouse world, there are only three people who can refine the Qiankun bag.
Tang Chen's Qiankun bag was made by the master, and he still remembers his first reaction when he got the Qiankun bag.
He almost peeed out of the fright.
As we all know, Qiankun bags are not only extremely difficult to refine, but also have high requirements for materials, and the price of finished Qiankun bags remains high. It is normal for a monk in the condensation period to have a Qiankun bag, and it is quite rare for a monk in the foundation building period to have a Qiankun bag, and the fourth layer of qi refining can get the Qiankun bag, and I am afraid that the small warehouse realm will not be able to find a second one. The master knew this very well, and when he threw the Qiankun bag to him, he told him not to show it to others before building the foundation, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Tang Chen has the secret of the Qiankun bag, and no one else knows it except the master.
Despite this, for a long time afterward, Tang Chen was like a frightened bird.
He looked at everyone like thieves, and even suspected that some of his colleagues wanted to kill people and seize treasures......
Although Tang Chen's cultivation was low, under the careful teaching of his master, the basic skills of refining weapons were quite solid.
In the three years since he left the master, Tang Chen has not abandoned his refining skills, but has been better than when he left.
It's not about interest, it's about survival.
Tang Chen, who had lost the protection of his master, had to let himself live first, and the pursuit of food also required cost investment, and refining was his only reliance. When he was shy, he often worked part-time jobs in the refining workshop to get paid, and all kinds of spices, cooking utensils, hunting props, and wild survival supplies came from here.
Can you refine rattan ropes like refining tools?
The thought popped into my head, and it never lingered.
Even if there were tools and materials, it was impossible for Tang Chen to refine the rattan rope completely, the rattan rope was too thin, and the shape was irregular, so the difficulty of refining was extremely high, and Tang Chen did not have the ability to refine the rattan rope completely. Moreover, now trapped in the Desperate Valley, there are no necessary refining materials and tools, only spiritual power.
What Tang Chen was thinking about now was how to use spiritual power to improve the reliability of the rattan rope.
Only spiritual power!
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
It is difficult for a Qiao woman to cook without rice, Tang Chen can't directly refine the rattan rope, his idea is to strengthen it indirectly.
Add a formation to the rattan rope!
Qianfumen is good at talisman making, and the essence of talisman making is to engrave the formation on the corresponding medium (such as yellow paper), infuse it with spiritual power and activate it, so that the formation on the medium can play a role. The effectiveness of the rune paper depends on the type of formation depicted, and the power depends on the strength of the spiritual power infused. The formations depicted on the rune paper can be a single one, or a combination of different formations, or even multi-layer formations superimposed, resulting in countless types of rune paper.
No matter what kind of rune paper, its core is always the formation!
This is common knowledge that the disciples of the Thousand Fu Sect know, and everyone will spend a lot of time learning the formation.
Refining weapons also use formations.
Refining tools are more complex than talismans and are more dependent on materials, but whether refining magic weapons or refining various types of embryos, almost all of them will enter formations on them to improve the performance of magic weapons or embryos. Tang Chen's cultivation was low, and he couldn't play with the materials of a higher grade, so the master asked him to learn the formation by heart. The master once said: "Refining weapons, cultivation, skills and understanding of the formation method are indispensable. If your cultivation is too shallow, your skill learning will also be limited, so you might as well spend more energy learning the formation. ”
At that time, Tang Chen had not yet worn it, and the deity was a good child, and he obeyed the master's words.
His understanding of the formation was far deeper than that of ordinary Qianfu Sect disciples.
Tang Chen quickly chose the formation to break into the rattan rope: [Sturdy] and [Water Gathering Array].
Both are basic formations, and the foundation usually represents practicality.
[Sturdy] magic circle, widely used in magic weapons, defense arrays, improve the defense effect obviously, [water gathering array] is usually used in wood or water magic weapons, can absorb water vapor in the air, nourish magic weapons, and slightly increase the power of water magic weapons.
[Water Array] is the most important, if you can punch the rattan rope into the [Water Array], the rattan rope can automatically absorb water vapor to nourish itself, and Tang Chen's most worried water loss problem will be solved!
The rattan rope is too thin, and the shape is irregular, so the difficulty of joining the formation can be imagined.
Tang Chen was still ready to try without hesitation, as long as there was an opportunity, he would not miss it.
He had no choice!
The palm of the hand was lightly raised, and the spiritual power drilled out from the fingers, pulling out a line thinner than a hair, and the line formed by the spiritual power seemed to be a willow branch swaying in the wind, weak and windy, but delicate and solid. Tang Chen's fingers began to tremble slightly, the spiritual power line seemed to be being led by an invisible hand, extending in the air, a few circles, several turns, the rudiments of a formation were already faintly visible, with the rapid extension of the spiritual power line, the form of the formation became more and more obvious.
The lines crisscrossed and closed in the air, flying wantonly, and the formation became clearer and more perfect.
When I first started drawing the formation, the movement trajectory of the spiritual power line was not particularly smooth.
The last time I worked in the refining workshop was a month ago, and although I had time to practice after leaving, I was out of actual combat after all, and I was a little rusty at the beginning. Tang Chen was engrossed, putting aside all distracting thoughts, and all his energy was focused on the spiritual power line.
The speed at which he carved the formation was extremely fast, and in the flying of his ten fingers, the spiritual power line seemed to be given life, constantly growing on its own, fast and accurate, and the whole process was like flowing water, as if the lines should have those changes, and they were natural and without condensation.
The formation is constantly being completed, and his speed is getting faster and faster.
Under his control, the spiritual power line danced like a butterfly, and there was no trace of jerky condensation.
When the line stopped advancing, a formation composed purely of spiritual power lines was announced. The drawn formation is light and clear, like a new spider web, quietly stretching in the air, weak and delicate, as if a breeze blowing can destroy it.
This is a [water array], from the perspective of improving the reliability of the rattan rope, the [water array] that can continuously absorb water and raise the rattan rope has a far more obvious effect than [firm].
Tang Chen squinted his eyes and admired the formation in front of him, his face pale.
"Brother's level is always trustworthy, and it's hard to miss it. ”
There are two main points in depicting formations: one is fingering practice, and the other is familiarity and understanding of formations.
The former determines the speed of the formation, and the latter determines the stability of the formation.
For mid- and low-level refiners, it is difficult to juggle both. Because the faster the formation is drawn, the more likely it is to make mistakes, the more difficult it is to ensure the stability of the formation, and the unstable formation has no value, many people will choose to slow down to ensure that the formation is stable enough.
Tang Chen didn't have this kind of trouble.
With the careful guidance of a refining master, Tang Chen's understanding of the formation has reached a very high level, as long as he is not too careless, he basically does not have to worry about the stability of the formation.
The portrayal formation is Tang Chen's strong point, and there is a reason for this.
When there was a shortage of spirit stones, Tang Chen would go to the local refining workshop to seek job opportunities.
Refining is the only production skill that can bring him rich returns, and in order to shorten the working hours and return to the right path of food, he spares no effort in improving the efficiency of refining, and fingering is even more diligent.
Because of his cultivation and age, he usually needs to face the suspicious eyes of the stewards, not to mention that the asking price of this guy is not low. He needed to demonstrate his refining ability, and his fast and steady depiction of the formation could help him quickly dispel the doubts of the stewards. With this hand, even if he couldn't refine a higher-level magic weapon, it would be more than enough to deal with the refining materials and the primary refining embryo. His shortcomings in cultivation and young age sometimes turned into strengths, indicating that he was likely to have a bright future, and many refining workshops were interested in entrapping him.
Tang Chen himself was well aware of this and made full use of it.
Many stewards thought that they could use Xiaoli to tempt this seemingly cute teenager and make Tang Chen die-hard to stay. It turned out that they took it for granted, the higher the reward they gave, the sooner Tang Chen would leave, as long as he earned enough supplies, he would leave in search of his favorite ingredients.
The depiction of the formation Tang Chen completed it very easily, and the next step was to drive the drawn formation into the rattan rope.
That's the real challenge!
