Chapter Thirty-Eight: The First Refining
The spirit slip left by Chifeng Zhenren has a large amount of knowledge related to instrument cultivation that ordinary monks can hardly understand in decades or hundreds of years, and Lin Feng has taken a shortcut to learn this knowledge by using the spirit slip, but it still takes a lot of time to integrate it before he can truly master this knowledge.
While cultivating the "Flame Determination" to improve his skills after swallowing the Qi Gathering Pill, while digesting the knowledge in those spiritual simplicitys that represented the essence of the Yanyang Sect, Lin Feng was finally ready to start trying the first refining weapon in his life.
The most basic refining tool can generally be divided into three steps, smelting, condensation, and cooling. Smelting has the highest requirements for the strength of the natal true fire, and it is also the first threshold to limit the ability of the cultivator. If you can't even smelt high-grade spirit ore, how can you use this high-grade spirit ore for refining.
After smelting the material with the natal true fire and removing some of the impurities in the material, it is also the condensation stage that tests the most weapon repair technique. The selection of the formation, the positioning of the array eye, the selection of the rune combination, and the inlay of the spiritual object, these steps that test the most cultivator technique are all concentrated in this stage.
Finally, it's time for the cooling and forming stage. Of course, it would be best if there was a cold attribute liquid that was low enough and not easy to evaporate, but the stronger the strength of the Natal True Fire of the Instrument Cultivation, the more difficult it was to find a liquid that could achieve a rapid cooling effect. In most cases, the instrument cultivation is to achieve the effect of refrigeration by quickly absorbing the fire attribute spiritual power near the half-finished magic weapon.
Alchemy requires Dan Fang, and refining tools are not just kneaded together with any materials and formations. If you get any materials and fuse them together randomly and choose a formation seal to engrave them, it is not that it is completely impossible to refine a good magic weapon, but more than ninety percent of them may make these refining material pearls dusty.
Alchemy must first have a Danfang, and refining tools must first have drawings. What materials should be smelted, what formation should be chosen, and what kind of rune seal should be used to refine what kind of magic weapon should be used to refine what kind of magic weapon should be recorded.
If you have enough understanding of the combination of formations, runes, and materials, you can try to refine magic weapons without drawings. Although there is still a high probability that Lang will cost those refining materials, maybe some alternative combinations will add some strange functions to the new magic weapon. No one dares to eat the elixir refined without the Danfang, and the magic weapon refined without the drawings is not that kind of problem, and if you try it a few more times, you should know whether this refining weapon is a success or a failure.
Lin Feng refined the weapon for the first time, and chose to try to refine the simplest imitation of the Fantian Seal magic weapon according to the "Simplified Fantian Seal Drawing".
Lin Feng first took out four runes that had not been engraved, and first carved eight runes with single thick soil runes on the spot. The spiritual power in the rune stone gradually depletes with the passage of time, so if you want to use the rune stone in the refining process, it is best to engrave the latest rune stone at the time of refining.
Lin Feng took out a piece of refined copper to infuse mana, and when the refined copper was filled with Lin Feng's mana, Lin Feng threw the refined copper upward, pinched the magic with his hand, and a pure natal true fire gushed out from Lin Feng's mouth. The refined copper fell and fell into the natal true fire, and Lin Feng controlled his own mana in the refined copper, so that the refined copper was suspended in the natal true fire.
The refined copper gradually melted, and some impurities in the ore were also refined. Lin Feng grabbed a handful of Tu Ling Sand from his side and raised it in the liquid refined copper, and the Tu Ling Sand quickly dissolved into it.
Finally completing the dissolution, Lin Feng controlled the liquid refined copper with all his strength and gradually condensed in the direction of the square. The shape is becoming more and more like a cube, except where the eight corners are, there seems to be a little depression in it. It's not Lin Feng's mistake, these eight grooves were deliberately left by Lin Feng.
The shape of the refined copper was already extremely close to the cube, Lin Feng took out the eight thick earth runes, and used his mana to control the eight runes and slowly approached the eight corners of the model.
A wry smile appeared on Lin Feng's face. It was still a little reluctant to refine the weapon during the Jindan period, this was already one of the simplest magic weapons, and just before the refining began, Lin Feng also swallowed a concentrated qi gathering pill, but when he came here, Lin Feng still felt that his mana was a little insufficient. The natal true fire doesn't have enough mana to support it, and it looks like it's about to start cooling down early.
At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly felt a coolness near his fingers, and a stream of pure mana was continuously injected into Lin Feng's body from the position of his fingers. Lin Feng didn't care about what was going on, and hurriedly used these newly appeared mana to feed the natal true fire, and the natal true fire shook instantly, and the temperature that had just begun to drop a little quickly rose again.
Lin Feng controlled the liquid refined copper and quickly wrapped the eight thick earth runes into the air, the runes and the refined copper could not be in direct contact for the time being, otherwise the high temperature of the refined copper would immediately activate the eight thick earth runes. Use rune stones to refine magic weapons, and at the moment when the final shape is finalized, the runes should be in a state of containing but not being released.
Lin Feng adjusted his position a few more times, confirming that the upper and lower four elephant arrays had been successfully arranged. Lin Feng withdrew the natal true fire and began to run it with all his might, making the flame decisive absorb the fire attribute spiritual power near the Fantian Seal. The temperature began to drop rapidly, and in just a few moments, Fantianyin began to cool down gradually. Lin Feng gradually let go of the control of the liquid refined copper in the eight corners, and the refined copper, which had already dropped a lot, flowed slowly and finally came into contact with the eight runes. The cooldown was completed, and Lin Feng's first refining was successfully completed.
The first refining weapon successfully refined an imitation Fantian Seal magic weapon, which was originally a thing to be happy about. However, Lin Feng did not have the desire to study the Heavenly Seal for the time being, but took off the Red Cloud Ring and frowned.
Guiyun Zhenren has already said that as the five spirit rings of the five peak peak master tokens, all of them are top-level treasure-level magic weapons. After knowing this situation, Lin Feng tried to activate the function of this Red Cloud Ring that night. However, the mana has been instilled again and again, but the Red Cloud Ring has not changed.
Later, Lin Feng took out the Red Cloud Ring many times and wanted to study what functions the Red Cloud Ring had to make it a top-level treasure-level magic weapon, but Lin Feng never figured it out. After failing again and again, Lin Feng had to temporarily put aside his research on the Red Cloud Ring. According to Lin Wanshan, many high-level magic weapons also require monks to meet certain conditions before they can be officially used. After Lin Feng reached the Yuan Infant Stage, he would be able to comprehend the function of this Red Cloud Ring by putting it into the Sea of Knowledge Sacrifice for a period of time.
However, today, when the mana in Lin Feng's body was about to be exhausted, it was a large amount of mana gushing out of this Red Cloud Ring that gave Lin Feng the ability to continue the refining just now. The mana that entered Lin Feng's body from the Red Cloud Ring was extremely compatible with Lin Feng, and it was therefore because of this that Lin Feng could directly treat these mana as his own mana. The spiritual power in the cultivation realm under normal circumstances is rarely so compatible with that of a monk, Lin Feng was extremely suspicious that the mana injected into his body from the Red Cloud Ring was the same mana that he injected into the Red Cloud Ring some time ago and wanted to use to activate the function of the Red Cloud Ring.
Lin Feng established contact with Lin Wanshan again.
"Is it a spirit storage magic weapon? Under normal circumstances, after the monk's mana leaves the body, the greatest possibility is to quickly dissipate between heaven and earth, if for some reason it does not dissipate quickly, then these mana will gradually change back to the state of heaven and earth spiritual power, and if the monk wants to take it back and use it again, he must also refine these spiritual powers into his own mana again. The Soul Reservoir Magic Weapon omits this series of processes in between. Mana is stored in the Soul Reservoir Magic Weapon, and when it needs to be used, it is mobilized from the Soul Reservoir Magic Weapon. Although this auxiliary magic weapon does not directly improve combat effectiveness, the mana is not so easily exhausted, which means that it can continue to fight for a longer time than other monks of the same realm. Especially for weapon cultivation, it is a good magic weapon, in addition to being used in battle, it can also avoid many refining failures caused by insufficient mana when refining weapons. ”
It was a nice surprise. Just now, Lin Feng almost failed his first refining weapon because of his lack of mana, and when refining high-level magic weapons in the future, this situation should appear more frequently. The Red Cloud Ring has the effect of storing mana, so as long as you go to the Red Cloud Ring to inject enough mana, as long as the magic weapon refined by Lin Feng is not too advanced, there should be no more failures in refining due to insufficient mana.
After thinking about this, Lin Feng finally had the opportunity to take out the Fantian Seal magic weapon that he had just refined.
In the end, it is just the simplest magic weapon, and the power can only be said to be average, Lin Feng used it casually a few times, and threw this imitation Fantian seal in the Red Cloud Ring. Lin Feng was able to refine the magic weapon at the end of the Jindan period, this refining talent was already quite good, and most of the weapon cultivation could only refine the magic weapon of the low-level magic weapon level after the Yuan Infant Stage. However, even a monk in the Yuan Infant Stage can only be regarded as a middle- and lower-class figure in the cultivation realm. Normally, the instrument cultivators in the Yuan Infant Stage often take out the magic weapon pills they have refined and sell them, so they can buy some materials to continue refining, and gradually improve their alchemy refining ability in that tempering time and again.
Most of the monks in the Jindan stage did not have the ability to refine magic weapons by themselves, but after a period of training in the cultivation realm, they could almost afford to buy low-level or intermediate-level magic weapons. Lin Feng didn't buy it, but when he was on the Izumo battlefield, Lin Feng seized a lot of magic weapons from those evil cultivators. Generally speaking, evil cultivators can't exert their full strength when they use ordinary monks' magic weapons, but if they capture a decent monk's magic weapon on the battlefield, it's impossible to throw them away at that time. Lin Feng solved a large number of evil cultivators on the Izumo battlefield, and of course most of those evil cultivators' Qiankun Rings were evil cultivators, but there were many Qiankun Rings seized, and Lin Feng and they also got a lot of decent magic weapons that could be used.
Lin Feng's strongest attack now is still a rune seal with a combination of two runes, but when he doesn't use a rune seal or the mana left is not enough to activate too many rune seals, a few medium-grade magic weapon-level magic weapons can also burst out with quite good combat power.
