The biggest difference between an artifact and a magic weapon is not in the sharpness and tenacity, or the increase in the true element, or the attack power it contains, but in the spirituality. A true artifact with a complete spirituality, and even like a real being, with a will of its own.

From this point of view, Zhang Baidao's Haotian Mirror and Nirvana Supreme Jade-colored Divine Sword were not real artifacts, but only semi-artifacts.

And the spirituality of the artifact is mostly given by the material of the refining artifact. It's just that artifacts are rare, and good materials for refining artifacts are even more rare. After countless refiners' painstaking research, they finally found a way to improve the spirituality of the artifact on the basis of the original materials.

This method is 'true refining', using the true blood and true spirit of these spiritual creatures to improve and refine high-level magic weapons.

Of course, in most cases, it is tempered with weakness, such as a magic weapon refined from wood-based materials, you can add some spiritual creatures with weak wood attributes that match its attributes, such as true blood and true spirits, and temper them in a special way to improve the spirituality and even the grade of the magic weapon.

In the case of strong and weak, it is not nothing, but the gains outweigh the losses, and the low-level materials cannot fully withstand the oppression of the high-level true spirit true blood, either they can only choose to volatilize the power of a certain amount of true blood and true spirits, or they can only watch the magic weapon unable to withstand the impact of the powerful true spirit true blood and produce an explosion. There are very few examples of success, and basically no one uses this method.

Every refining master has his own unique true refining technique, the so-called true refining eight methods is a technique created by Pei Yongqu, a generation of refining masters, with its unique proportional adjustment method, eight different low-level true spirit true blood. They are refined into the magic vessel by different means. Greatly increases the spirituality of the artifact. Increases the level of the artifact.

For many refiners, Master Yongqu's Eight True Refining Methods were no less than the treasure book containing the secret method of opening the heavens, and it was something worth exchanging their lives for.

Of course, the reason why the Eight Methods of True Refining is so famous is not because this True Refining Method is the best in the world, at least Zhang Baijian's memory has nearly ten methods that are no less than this True Refining Method, and one or two even surpass them. It is revered by refiners. Because of this true refining method, it has an excellent enlightening effect, and many refining masters have been inspired by this true refining method and have walked out of their own path.

Therefore, when Zhang Baijian said the term "True Refining Eight Methods", the transaction between him and the old man had been properly concluded.

Fanatically recorded the Eight Methods of True Refining recited by Zhang Baijian, on the old man's old face. There is a fiery and uplifting positivity again, and the whole person looks much younger.

"I see. I see, it's really wonderful, it's wonderful!" While recording the Eight Methods of True Refining, the old man's mouth sighed frantically, and the fire in his eyes seemed to be even better than the divine fire in the hot furnace.

By the time the last word of the Eight Methods of True Refining came out, the old man was already holding stacks of paper and reciting them feverishly, not giving Zhang Baijian a chance to interject at all.

The eight methods of true refining that are tens of thousands of words, stimulated by the old man's fanatical emotions, were recited by him proficiently in less than half a day, until the rolling melons that this method was memorized, the old man let out a long breath, put down the paper in his hand, and looked satisfied.

If Zhang Baijian wasn't still here, he would definitely have to be unable to help but experiment with these methods.

Looking at the old man's rejuvenated eyes, Zhang Baijian smiled and said, "How! Is there any doubt about this true refining method?"

The old man shook his head and said: "Naturally not, although the old man has never seen the true refining eight methods before, he can be sure that what you gave me is definitely the real true refining eight methods, and the self-confidence of refining the weapon for decades is still there." ”

Immediately afterwards, the old man suddenly looked at Zhang Baijian with puzzled eyes.

"However, what the old man feels strange now is that you have this treasure mountain, but you don't know it at all, what is the reason?" No wonder the old man was puzzled, Zhang Baijian couldn't hide his jerkiness and unfamiliarity when he was reciting the Eight Methods of True Refining.

In fact, these secret methods were all obtained by Zhang Baijian through the Haotian Mirror, and although Zhang Baijian memorized them, he did not study them in depth. After all, with Haotian Mirror, the world is equivalent to having no secrets in Zhang Baijian's eyes, knowing too much, and needing too many choices, which makes Zhang Baijian not care so much about many things.

Zhang Baijian's identification of broken soldiers before was just a few tips for the use of knowledge and familiarity with the Hundred Battle Sword, but any refiner with some insight would know that there was nothing remarkable.

"You're right, I'm really new to refining, I just happened to know some knowledge about refining. Zhang Baijian said.

The old man shook his head: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity to sit on Baoshan and not know it." Even if the old man owes you a great favor, a mere divine fire is not enough to repay, so it is better to introduce you to the door of refining today, so that you can know what refining is and how to really refine it. ”

Zhang Baijian's eyes lit up.

Refining is a skill that Zhang Baijian is eager to master. In the past, he was an innate thunder body, and the thunder attribute true yuan was too violent, and before Lingtai mastered spiritual power, it was not suitable for learning refining weapons or alchemy, so the ninth thunder god did not teach him. Then he became an innate thunder and fire body, and he was already a strong spirit, so he naturally had enough ability and time to specialize in some deputy positions, but he suffered from the lack of specific guidance and was difficult to get started.

After all, he had the conditions to become a high-level refiner, and although becoming a refiner might not be able to increase his combat power much, it would allow him to no longer have to worry too much about cultivation resources. Strong strength is piled up with massive resources, and no matter what talent you have, this is an indelible fact.

The refiner and the alchemist are the two industries that can collect the most money, and if they master one of them and reach a certain status, they will be able to give wings to the path of cultivation and help them spread their wings and fly high.

"You have mastered a lot of knowledge of refining weapons, but the foundation is not solid, if you have any questions, ask now, the old man must know everything. The old man sat on a bench and said in an old-fashioned manner. He had this qualification, although his knowledge of refining weapons was far less extensive than that of Zhang Baidao. But he has been refining for decades. Accumulated experience and foundation. It is enough to get rid of Zhang Baijian for several streets.

Zhang Baijian flipped through his memories of refining weapons and asked his first doubt.

"I don't understand that many powerful spiritual fires and even divine fires have the effect of absolutely melting and refining various materials, why do you still use a sledgehammer to beat the embryo of the magic weapon repeatedly?"

This is Zhang Baijian's first question, this is the first class for most refiners, and there are even many refiners who don't need to be taught. It is a truth that you will naturally understand. But for Zhang Baidao, this is a threshold, and if he doesn't cross it, he will always be blocked out of the door. Although his Haotian Mirror spied on people's hearts and illuminated the nine heavens and ten earths, what people put in their hearts are all the deepest secrets, but those simple things do not need to be put in their hearts.

"Refining, refining, refining is not only the magic weapon, but also the human heart. It is a process by which a person communicates with the Dharma instrument and elevates and guides his or her spirituality. Refining materials with spiritual fire. It is true that the effect can be achieved in a short period of time, but it is opportunistic and not enough. ”

"Let me ask you, are there two people who are exactly the same in this world?"

Zhang Baijian shook his head: "This is naturally nothing, no matter how similar these two people look, their personalities, hobbies, and habitual actions will be somewhat different." Fundamentally, it is the gap in the essence of the soul. ”

The old man nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, people are the spirits of all things, and there are no two people who are absolutely the same." Then, as a Dharma weapon, if you want to arouse its spirituality, you must not be the same. This difference is not in the external modeling, but in the inner spirituality. If it is forged with spiritual fire and directly suppressed into a blade, although it increases the manufacturing speed and output, it will cause the destruction of its spirituality. ”

"I understand that the so-called tempering with a hand-held hammer is not to knock out the impurities in the material, but to use human nature to guide out the spirituality in the magic weapon and give it a unique spirituality, so right?" Zhang Baijian suddenly realized.

The old man explained in a deeper way: "Tempering is to draw out spirituality, and refining with true blood and true spirit is to improve spirituality, this is a complete magic weapon, and it will go through two processes, both of which are indispensable." ”

Zhang Baijian turned his eyes to look at the row of broken magic weapons at the old man's feet, thoughtful.

"Don't look at it, they can't be considered complete magic weapons, after all, they haven't improved their spirituality with true spirit and true blood, and their spiritual weakness was broken by the giant rock demon. That's why I don't want to defend myself. If you don't master the secret method of true refining, the cost of using ordinary true refining methods on them is too great. The old man said helplessly. In fact, even weak spiritual beings are not so easy to catch, even if these naturally bred elves do not have special abilities, they are extremely sensitive, and will consciously avoid the search of humans or demons.

"And where did the original spirituality come from?"

Zhang Baijian then asked another question.

The old man replied: "The original spirituality is contained in the materials of the refining tool, but these spiritualities are very scattered, and they need to be driven together with a hammer and condensed into a point, so the selection of materials for the refining is very important, some material parts contain enough spirituality, and some parts are scarce. Of course, what is more important is the skillful use of the hammer to drive away the spirituality, which is a process of self-cultivation and improvement, and no matter how outsiders explain it, it will not play a role. ”

In this way, one question and one answer, Zhang Baijian asked all night, and the old man also explained to Zhang Baijian all night.

Until the end, in Zhang Baidao's heart, there was no doubt for the time being.

In the early morning, it was also the time of parting, and the old man handed a water lotus jade bottle and a volume of Xuantie Shujian to Zhang Baijian.

"In the jade bottle is the fire of the divine fire, as long as you feed it with high-grade demon wood or stone charcoal comprehension, it will continue to grow. Whatever you use it for should be enough. What is recorded in this book is the old man's decades of refining experience, although there is no great secret method record, but for you, it should be somewhat helpful. ”

Zhang Baijian took the jade bottle and the iron slip and arched his hand.

"Farewell today, I don't know if there will be another time to meet, just wait for the next day, even if you are thousands of miles away, you can hear the reputation of your old man, I wish you to become a generation of refining masters as soon as possible. At that time, the boy will come to ask for soldiers, and I hope you will not forget the old man. ”

The old man laughed: "I will accept your good words! If we get together another day, I can't say that your kid will be better than me." You have a lot of talent in refining, don't waste this talent. ”

Zhang Baijian thought about it, but finally didn't ask his psychological doubts.

Anyway, Li Changgeng often uses the Haotian Mirror to investigate, and everything goes well. There was no need for him to ask any more questions, lest there be some inexplicable changes. Although he and the old man had a good conversation, they were not unwary in their hearts. (To be continued......)
