43 The pressure of earning spirit stones
After Ye Chen opened the Immortal Mansion's Refining Pavilion, he stayed in the Immortal City Inn for half a month, and his own mana was poured into the Immortal Mansion, maintaining the refining operation of the Immortal Mansion and refining spiritual weapons.
Ye Chen had just reached the first level of the Qi Refining Period, and the mana in his body was still very weak.
Fortunately, refining is the lowest-level spiritual weapon, and the mana consumed is not too large, and he can slowly recover his mana by meditating and absorbing the spiritual energy of the outside world.
Xiao Qing refined the Xuantie Knife, a primary-level spiritual weapon, in the Immortal Mansion Refining Pavilion, melted the fine sand of the Xuaniron Ore, and refined it according to the drawings of the Xuantie Knife.
Xiao Qing's technique was not very proficient at first, and it took more than six hours to refine a Xuantie knife at first. With a little skill, the hour is shortened to four or five hours, or even less than three.
It's just that Ye Chen's mana replenishment to the Immortal Mansion is too slow, which limits the refining speed of the Immortal Mansion, and refining at most one spiritual weapon in a day consumes all the mana. Ye Chen had to meditate slowly to recover.
"It's a pity, the success rate is too low, less than one percent, and almost all of what is refined now is waste!"
Ye Chen smiled bitterly, and he was also very helpless.
In the first ten days, Xiao Qing refined ten knives in one go, and the results were all cracked waste spirit knives. You must know that a qualified spirit knife must not have any cracks.
The successive failures almost made Xiaoqing angry. Although it is a machine spirit, its spiritual intelligence is abnormal, where would it accept such successive failures. However, it was getting closer and closer to success, and the number of rifts on the spirit knife had dropped from dozens to only a few.
Ye Chen asked Xiaoqing to return these waste products to the furnace and decompose them, and re-refine the spirit knife.
For this reason, he also consumed one of his spirit stones, which made his flesh painful.
By the time of refining on the twelfth day, Xiao Qing had finally refined a qualified Xuantie knife with no cracks.
However, Ye Chen was surprised that on the fifteenth day immediately afterward, Xiao Qing once again successfully refined a Xuantie Knife, and the success rate began to increase significantly.
Ye Chen's spirits perked up, with these two Xuantie knives, he was able to give an account to the owner of the Wang Fang.
"Xiao Qing's success rate in refining the Xuantie Knife has increased to about thirty percent, and refining ten successful three handles can barely keep his capital! However, if you want to earn more spirit stones, you also need a longer refining weapon. ”
Ye Chen carefully calculated his income and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
"The profession of refining weapons is really difficult, it requires a lot of investment in the early stage, and I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve results for a while. If you want to earn spirit stones, it will take at least three or five months later. When I can have more income, I am afraid it will be a year later. ”
"Immersed in the refining weapon, half a month has passed, but the cultivation of the Yuan Shen has almost not progressed an inch. ”
"If you continue to waste like this, when will you be able to improve your cultivation?
"To put it bluntly, the refining profession is just a means to earn spirit stones. Whatever way you can earn spirit stones, use whatever method you want! All for the sake of cultivating immortals!"
"In my Immortal Mansion, there are four usable buildings: the Refining Pavilion, the Alchemy Pavilion, the Medicine Garden, and the Beast Fence. In addition to refining weapons, I'll see if there are three other ways, such as cultivating elixirs and alchemy, if I can earn more spirit stones as soon as possible and buy elixirs to improve my cultivation!"
Ye Chen felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
During his ten years at Beilu Academy, this sense of urgency accompanied him almost every day. In Beilu Academy, low strength means low status, even if it is contemptuous and cynical by others, he does not dare to refute half a sentence.
Now although he has become a first-level immortal cultivator in the Qi refining period, his high status is just a martial artist. However, among the many immortal cultivators in the Immortal City, it is still the lowest strength, and it cannot conflict with any other immortal cultivator with higher strength, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable
On that day, Ye Chen didn't want to waste any more time, so he left the small inn and went to the small refining workshop of the owner of Wang Fang with the two Xuantie knives that had been refined.
During this time, Yan Han and Wei Xuanyu had already moved to other inns near their places of work, sharing houses with other male and female warriors to save rent. The three of them were busy working every day to earn money, and they were also busy cultivating in their spare time, so they didn't have much time to gossip together.
Ye Chen didn't have the idea of living with other martial artists to save rent, and he still lived alone in the cheapest room.
Ye Chen came to the small refining workshop in the south of the city and handed over the two Xuantie knives to the owner of the Wang Fang, "Master Wang, take a look at these two spirit knives, whether the quality is qualified!"
"Refined so quickly?!"
Wang Fangzhu took the two dark iron knives in surprise, and took a closer look at the two-foot-long knife body, the cold light of the knife surface is compelling, and the sharp edge is exposed, and there is no crack on the knife body.
After reading it, the owner of the Wang Fang looked up at Ye Chen in some shock, and said in a lost voice, "Your ten ore raw materials have refined two qualified spirit knives!
As a refiner, Wang Fang is very familiar with the refining industry.
Immortal cultivators who have just entered the refining industry, known as refining boys, almost don't understand anything and need to learn from their masters. Every refining is bound to fail, and a large amount of financial investment is required in the early stage to purchase raw materials to improve refining experience. This period is an investment period, and there is almost no return.
The refining boy studied with the master for a period of time, and was called the refining apprentice, giving the master a hand. Although apprentices can also refine weapons, the success rate is very low. During this period, the investment is still large and the income is small.
Only when you are promoted to become a refiner can you refine the weapon alone and rely on the refiner to make a living.
Wang Fang has been refining for more than ten years before becoming a refiner and maintaining this ancestral small refining workshop.
In the expectation of the owner of the Wang Fang, Ye Chen is still a refining boy, not even a refining apprentice, and he will definitely not be able to refine a qualified spiritual weapon if all ten materials are exhausted.
As a result, Ye Chen owed ten spirit stones in debt, and had to spend more time to repay the debt, and finally signed a contract with him for five years, ten years, or even longer, and worked hard to refine weapons in his small refining workshop to earn money to pay off the debt.
But Wang Fang looked at the two spirit knives in his hand and knew that his expectations had been disappointed.
"Master Wang, the quality of these two spirit knives is fine, right?! If there is no problem, our previous order, the goods are cleared, and I have completed the task. ”
Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Good job! These two black iron knives are no problem, our last order is considered to be two clear!"
The look of annoyance on the owner of the Wang Fang disappeared in a flash, but he didn't lose this deal, and said with a cheerful smile, "Brother Ye seems to have a lot of talent for refining, maybe he can become a famous refining master one day! You need refining raw materials to come to my store to get it, enough to buy it, or on credit, after refining, put the spirit weapon in my shop to sell, and we will split the account. Do you want me to give you the raw ore for the next round?"
"Don't worry, I've been refining for more than half a month, let's rest for a few days. It was a little late, so I went to the night market stalls in Xiancheng to see the excitement of Xiancheng and see if there were any good things to buy. Farewell to the owner of the king!"
Ye Chen smiled and said that he was not in a hurry to sign a refining order with the owner of Wang Fang.
"It's okay, the night market in Xiancheng is quite lively, Brother Ye has a good time and rests!"
