Chapter Forty-Eight: The Refining Examination
The refining tool does not require the fire control of the first class, but it requires patient tempering. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Theoretically, anyone can refine a weapon as long as they have enough time, but they may not be able to refine the pill.
But this does not mean that refining tools is simpler than alchemy, if a part takes hundreds of years to forge, then how time-consuming it takes to make a magic weapon? With this qualification, you can go to work for a real refiner, and the income is not bad.
There are three stages of refining, quenching, smelting, and forming. The smelting part is naturally to fuse the materials together, and the requirements for the fire are not high, but the more perfect the control of the fire, the better the appearance of the magic weapon, but it will not affect the use.
It sounds easier said than done, countless people have become refiners, but there are very few refiners. The reason is that refining also requires talent, and only those who have talent and creativity can become a good alchemist.
Although there is a fixed map of the refiner, in most cases the refiner is required to design the drawings and configure the raw materials themselves, so that they must be proficient in the characteristics of the materials. In addition, the unique magic of the refining weapon is not so easy to learn, and the smelting link is the core of the refining tool, and the unique magic decision gives the magic weapon power. Therefore, alchemy tests the heat, while the refining tool tests the grasp of the timing of smelting, and it is really difficult to say which of the two is higher or lower.
Similar to the structure of the alchemy exam examination room, there is a large screen on the podium and a Dan furnace. It's just that the tools needed for refining are more complicated, and there are many common tools such as anvils.
I was dumbfounded again, I thought that the quenching link in the upper realm was to beat the metal, but I didn't expect it to be so complicated?
"Welcome all candidates to the Guild of Instrument City, the content of your assessment is to refine the ten materials in front of you, and provide two copies of each material, and those who complete all of them can pass the assessment. ā
Ten materials are neatly arranged in front of each candidate, ranging from metal, stone to bottled liquid and wood!
Quenching liquids and wood? It's over, this time it's a naked test again, the preparation is still not enough, and 50 million is going to be wasted again. Exams are always such a magical thing, candidates always feel that they are fully prepared, and the moment they see the exam papers, they always feel as if they have entered the wrong examination room.
has already come to participate, Qicheng naturally will not return the money, with the examiner announcing the exam, there is no confusion so I have to bite the bullet.
There is forging in the mortal world, so no confusion chooses to temper metal first. The furnace in the upper realm is very easy to use, it only needs to be injected with true qi, and the heat can be controlled at will. At this moment, the unconfused eyes casually glanced at the other candidates, wondering if this was considered cheating?
Other candidates used strange utensils and liquids to process the piece of wood, and some used a furnace to calcinate stones or iron, but no one used an anvil to temper them! Could it be that their first step was wrong? This is really a different culture, a world of difference.
However, the exam requirement is to refine this piece of mortal iron into iron essence, since it only depends on the results, it doesn't matter what method is used.
No longer peeking at other people's answers, he concentrated on calcining the iron until it was red. The sound of tapping attracted all the candidates and the examiner, especially the examiner, who couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Wufu beating the iron.
"Oh, tempering, and being so patient. ā
Generally, the processing of metals in the upper realm is calcined and refined by Ding furnace, so that the refined metal is naturally not better than the tempered one, but the difference in quality is not so different, but the efficiency has increased I don't know how many times. Therefore, except for those high-quality magic weapons, no one will use tempering to refine metal.
Of course, this is not to say that the refiner does not know the method of tempering, but this is the examination room, and the examination time is limited, so it is natural to choose the more efficient method of fire refining.
The unconfused hammer method is very unique, as if dancing but striking on the iron in an orderly manner. Each blow will naturally lift the hammer by the reaction force to charge up for the next strike.
The exam lasts until the curfew in Qicheng, that is, the candidate's time is less than half a day. This is also the ordinary nature of these raw materials, and it is normal for them to spend a few years if they are high-grade materials. Nearly half of the exam time has passed, and many of the top students have already completed the tempering and even returned to the hotel to prepare for the next day's exam, while Nangong Wufu is still beating the iron.
It doesn't matter to him whether he can pass the exam or not, he will definitely not pass it anyway. It's better to familiarize yourself with the exam and prepare for the next exam.
Finally, at sunset and dusk, Wu Confusion completed the tempering, and the iron that was originally the size of a head has now become an iron ball less than the size of a fist, but this iron ball looks even heavier and more condensed, and it is by no means comparable to before, this is a qualitative change.
However, the exam time was not over yet, and Wu looked at the other materials again, and it seemed that the stones were to be calcined in a Dan furnace, as if they were extracting minerals from ores. But how to refine this wood? The examination requirements only say that the wood should be perfected, but it does not say how to improve it.
Looking at the wood in his hand, although he didn't know what kind of wood it was, the properties were very clear. It is estimated that it is a wood unique to the upper realm, so it is not surprising that I have never seen it. This wood is hard, but it lacks flexibility, and the texture is dry, and it will crack over time.
In this way, the wood is too rigid and not flexible enough. To perfect the wood is to add softness to it. In the past, Wu Xuan and Sheng Xuan's Seven Star Swords also used wood, but most of those jobs were done by Sheng Xuan, and Wu Xuan was not very clear and specific. Speaking of Shengxuan, I really don't know where he is now? After many years of getting along, he is still a mysterious man.
According to the recollection, Wu Confused vaguely remembers some steps. The Divine Xuan will absorb the required attributes from other materials with True Qi, and then slowly infiltrate the wood to change the structure of the wood.
There is no confusion in this method of absorbing true qi, but he himself has attributes! After swallowing that mysterious bead, there is no confusion and there is an additional cold attribute. Ice and water have the same origin, and they all belong to a kind of soft attribute, anyway, this exam can't be passed, so it's just a game.
Holding the wooden bar, he closed his eyes and breathed without confusion, and a soft cold attribute yuan force swam along the meridians. Originally, the Sky Celestial had no attributes without a life weapon, but that bead changed this law. Although I still don't know what kind of treasure it is, it doesn't matter if it's not harmful to the confusion itself.
When he shared his body with Shengxuan, he could also understand Shengxuan's feelings, recalling the feeling of refining the weapon at the beginning, and naturally let the soft cold attribute gradually penetrate the wood, nourishing the dry wooden body.
Every cell of the wood is combined with the cold attribute, and the cold attribute wanders, fusing the good parts of the wood but taking away the inferior molecules. With the loss of time, the size and shape of the wood remain unchanged, but a lot of loose wood powder falls.
Boom!
A bell rang and woke up Wu Confused.
"At the end of the exam, the candidates hand in their positions and immediately put down everything in their hands, whether they have completed it or not. ā
Several strong men who had been waiting for a long time swarmed out, either grabbing or rushing to interrupt those candidates who had not yet finished and drove them away from the examination seats.
The results of the tempering exam will be released on the spot, and the examiners who submit the papers in advance will be tested first, and now the examiners who have been forcibly terminated will naturally check them one by one.
"No. 1, seven finished products, five qualified products, failed. The examiner walked to No. 1 and looked at it. The materials are refined by themselves, and they naturally know whether they are qualified or not. No. 1, who was still lucky, immediately left dejectedly. The examiner skipped No. 2 and came to No. 3, because No. 2 was a super student, and he passed the first paper in the audience with a full score.
"No. 3, six finished products, all qualified, come tomorrow to take the second exam. "No. 2 is a chubby girl, she breathes a sigh of relief, although she knows that her materials are qualified, but sometimes the examiner is a little harsh, and it is not surprising that she will fail one. Especially when the water is finally refined, the workmanship is naturally the worst.
Wu Zhi glanced twice, and turned away silently. Regardless of whether his work is qualified or not, the quantity alone is far behind, and the last piece of wood has not yet been completed.
It was a long time after the absence of confusion before the examiner walked to number one hundred and ten, which was the number of confusion. Although the candidate is gone, the examiner does not know it and still checks the work.
This was the only candidate in the audience who used tempering to forge metal, looking at the iron ball and the half-finished wood, the examiner sneered at the corner of his mouth and shook his head.
"One hundred and tenth, the finished product is the same, the qualification is the same, and it fails. ā
......
It is often said that the richer you are, the more you will pick the door, and it can be seen from the fact that the Dancheng exam is not even distributed materials. The instrument city is not much better, the materials that the candidates have refined or have not had time to refine will be recycled, as long as they are not scrapped, and the use value will be recycled. The unmistakable iron balls and semi-finished wooden strips were also stored in the warehouse.
