Chapter 196: Master Kao
When Tao Qi walked straight to the door, Qian Keju and Xiao Wu thought he was playing.
As a result, the doorman asked Tao Qi a few words, and directly let him in, and the two hurriedly followed.
"You can really do it, you get in this way. Qian Keju praised.
Tao Qi said: "I really want to test the master of the refining weapon." ”
Qian Keju hehe, Xiao Wu hummed.
"If you want to test the master, please come here and pay a thousand immortal coins. A middle-aged man in a guild hall uniform greeted him.
Tao Qi snorted: "A thousand immortal coins are so expensive?"
However, he quickly pulled out the money and handed it over.
"Hey, what's going on with your Refining Weapon Hall, you should have an obligation to remind, right?" Miss Wu couldn't help it.
The middle-aged man smiled: "Remind what?"
"Didn't you see that he was only in the foundation building period, and he couldn't even handle the materials, how could he make magic weapons?"
The middle-aged man smiled: "There are many geniuses and aliens in this world, and we will never discriminate against applicants because of their low realm." ”
Tao Qi said with a smile: "Miss Wu, don't worry, since you want to refine the magic weapon, the refining furnace must also be at the magic weapon level, my own realm is not enough, but the refining furnace can help me deal with the materials." ”
The middle-aged man looked at Tao Qi with a smile: "I'm sorry, when I take the exam, I will use a magic weapon-level refining furnace in a unified manner." ”
Tao Qi was stunned: "No, what kind of truth is this?"
The middle-aged man said, "Do you know how many formations are needed for a refining furnace in Ludao? Refining a well-functioning magic weapon-level refining furnace is difficult for even a first-grade master to do." ”
Qian Keju sighed: "Xiao Tao, magic weapon-level refining furnace, there are only three in the entire Jiufang City. It's all money-making machines, how can it be put in this hall to rust? Without long-term practice, it will not be able to reach the level of fingers at all. It is not suitable for high-precision machining. ”
Tao Qi suddenly had a bitter face: "Then I won't take the test, and the money will be refunded to me." ”
"I'm sorry, little brother, come in, I have confidence in you. The middle-aged man still had a kind smile.
Qian Keju pulled the middle-aged man aside: "You see, everyone is just seeking money, in fact, my disciple is here to take the first-grade refiner exam today, and this thousand immortal coins should be regarded as the cost of cutting in line." Do him a favor, let him take the alchemist exam. ”
The middle-aged man sighed: "Your proposal is good, but our club strictly follows the rules...... Okay, okay, I'll tell you straight, the fees for ordinary refiners and refiners are separated, understand? So if you want to take the first-grade refiner exam, I won't have a penny of commission. ”
Tao Qi couldn't help but say, "Door master, don't say it." Anyway, I want to see what the master-level evaluation is like. ”
"The little brother is arrogant. The middle-aged man praised, "Come with me." ”
Coming to a room, there are three different types of refining furnaces in the center of the room, because each refining furnace has its own strengths. The refining furnaces used by refiners are different, and the three furnaces can satisfy the reference to the greatest extent.
"The three stoves are all first-class magic vessels, so you have a little conscience. Qian Keju looked at it.
Xiao Wu snorted: "Even if you use the best magic weapon." Xiao Tao can't refine magic weapon-level materials. ”
The middle-aged man smiled: "The properties of materials are different, and they are used according to the material......"
Tao Qi interrupted him: "Okay. Let's get the materials out. ”
"Please wait outside. The middle-aged man said politely.
Qian Keju and Miss Wu left, and three evaluators stepped in outside. It's all old men.
The middle-aged man walked to a stone wall carved with a dragon head, and a thousand immortal coins were thrown into it, and the dragon head spit out a pile of materials.
"There are a total of thirty-three medium-grade materials and three high-grade materials, no matter how you combine and prepare them, as long as you can refine the magic weapon. "Middle-aged humane.
Tao Qi's eyes were a little straight: "It seems to be ...... I haven't used any of them!"
This is not surprising, most of the materials that Tao Qi usually deals with are low-grade materials, although the medium-grade ones have also been exposed to hundreds of kinds, but compared to the hundreds of thousands of medium-grade materials in Jiufang City, it is still not worth mentioning.
The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "This is normal, if you are really not sure, you can change the batch." ”
Tao Qi thought about it: "Then let's change it." ”
"Please pay another thousand cents. The middle-aged man smiled.
"Is there a mistake?" Tao Qi was shocked.
"It's the rule, you can ask any alchemist and master to see if they came over like this. ”
Tao Qi was a little dazed, but he also understood that the middle-aged man was telling the truth.
If the materials assigned to you are suitable every time, then what are those people out there doing for a few months in a row?
"If it's an alchemist and wants to change materials, in addition to paying money, you have to queue up outside again. "Middle-aged humane.
Tao Qi looked at the materials in front of him depressedly: "These materials, I spent money to buy them, right?"
The middle-aged man nodded: "The ownership belongs to you, but you can only bring back these materials, and there will always be only thirty-six materials to choose from for each evaluation." ”
Tao Qi sighed, took the thirty-six materials in his hand one by one and sensed them, and then tried the effects of the three refining furnaces, and finally gave up helplessly.
"Another batch of materials. "Tao Qi paid for it.
In the second batch of materials, there is still no one that Tao Qi has seen, of course, with Tao Qi's divine domain and viscera gods, he can still grasp some of the properties and structures of these materials.
The difficulty is still that it can't be handled.
The first-grade refining furnace is much stronger than the fourth-grade one that Tao abandoned himself, but after all, it is still limited by the skill of the foundation building period.
Three refining furnaces, one for cutting high-hardness materials, one for smelting, and one for compression molding.
If it is a refining master in the Jindan period, if you are proficient in using these three refining furnaces, it may be no less than using a magic weapon-level furnace.
But the difference between the strength of Tao Qi and Jin Dan is more than a million times!
In fact, the refining master of the Restoration Period, using these refining furnaces, can also handle most of the medium-grade materials, but even in the early stage of Returning God, the strength of Tao Qi is thousands of times stronger.
Anyway, in Jiufang City, I haven't heard that there is a gas refining period that can refine more than second-grade magic weapons, which means that they can't do anything about most of the medium-grade materials.
"Another batch!" Tao Qi took out the money for the third time.
The middle-aged man's complexion remained unchanged. Keep putting the material, this time. Tao Qi's face was still ugly.
Some of the medium-grade materials are extremely hard. However, the melting point is low, and some are resistant to high temperature and high pressure, but they are very flexible and easy to shape.
However, although there are such materials among the 36 materials, they are not biased enough, and they are one of the shortest ones. It's still Tao Qi gnawed and won't move.
Tao Qi realized that if he wanted to find the materials he could handle, he was afraid that he would have to change them dozens or hundreds of times......
"Xiao Zhong, are you looking for a child to play with us?" an old man suddenly spoke.
The middle-aged man looked at the three evaluators and smiled, "The three masters think that I would spend so many immortal coins to do such a thing?"
Another old man said: "But this matter is too strange, he actually came to test the master of refining weapons during the foundation building period, and there are hundreds of materials in three batches, he actually gave up without trying it?"
Tao Qi thought to himself. That's because I have strong sensitivity, and I can know the properties of the material without trying.
Well, it seems a little too weird to do that, or pretend. Let's put it on the stove and do it.
Tao Qi selected the three most "talented" from the materials and placed them in front of the three furnaces.
"Huh?" the three old men said at the same time.
They were all familiar with these materials, and of course they knew how wise the choice was.
"It's a pity. If he has the realm of the fifth layer of qi refining, among these three materials. Should be able to handle two. An old man said.
"The third thing, I'm afraid it can only be done at the peak of qi refining. The other shook his head.
"I'm most interested in. How could he refine a magic weapon with just three materials, and only once with each material. The third person laughed.
He was talking about "magic weapons", because the three old men didn't think that they could refine magic weapons during the foundation building period.
Tao Qi first walked to the furnace that was longer than cutting, and put a "10,000-year-old pine stone melon" into it.
Turquoise gourd is a kind of alien plant, the diameter can reach ten zhang, after growing to a thousand years, it will shrink into a solid ball, the diameter is less than one zhang, the longer the year shrinks, the smaller it is, and the harder it is.
But no matter how hard the inside is, the shrinkage of the skin of the turquoise melon will be slower, so it is softer, and Tao Qu with the help of the refining furnace, he went all out, and finally carved the formation evenly on the skin of the melon.
"He carved the 'size Ruyi array', the sphere uses this formation, there is no need to calculate too complicated, and the technique is relatively simple, he will be tricky, but if you don't deal with the inside, this formation will blow up the turquoise gourd for the first time. An old man said.
The size is as good as you want, so that the magic weapon can be freely enlarged and reduced, and the formation can not be distorted in the slightest in this process, and the force at each point must be even.
If it is a pavilion or a beast-like magic weapon, the shape is complex, and the depiction of the formation is extremely nerve-wracking, and the veteran refining master will often fail in this link.
If there is a slight miscalculation, the magic weapon will be scrapped directly during the test.
The people of Danshen Dao made the magic weapon into an iron plate because of its regular shape and can save a lot of things.
The shape of the ball is the most regular, and it is the easiest to depict the size of the Ruyi array.
But refining magic weapons is not as simple as carving a formation on a thing, if you want to make the gang qi evenly distributed in every inch, you also need to carve a formation inside the turquoise gourd, and there must be other materials to penetrate it to produce a special field force.
Tao Qi is doing this work now, however, when it comes to carving the skin of the turquoise gourd, he has already used his maximum ability, and it is really impossible to go deep into the interior.
After working hard for a long time, Tao Qi really wanted to give up, but sensing the playful eyes of the four bystanders, his temper came up again.
It doesn't matter if you throw three thousand immortal coins into the water, you can't lose face!
Even if you can't refine the magic weapon today, at least you have to show your ability, and you can't let people think that you are a clown!
"Who of you, is it okay to punch me?" Tao Qi shouted as he turned his head.
"Sorry, we can't get involved in or interfere with any of the refiners' steps. The middle-aged man said gently.
"Okay, Xiao Hao, help!" Tao abandoned his mind for a minute, the album flew out of his arms, and Xiao Hao's figure appeared.
Xiao Hao glanced at a few people in the room and felt very nervous, this is all about returning gods and golden pills......
"Xiao Hao, attack me!Well, don't use your claws, just hit me!" Tao Qi shouted.
Woo hoo, Xiao Hao hit Tao Qi's back continuously.
The stone ball in the inner world rolled, and it became larger twice in a short time, and the praying mantis listened to the order and knocked the stone ball out.
The powerful true qi rushed into the refining furnace with both hands, and Tao Qi only felt that the front was loosened, and the obstacles were broken!
Boom, the drill bit in the magic weapon made a screeching sound, and the inside of the turquoise gourd was drilled out of the passages, and the size of the Ruyi array also extended layer by layer.
"Hey, that demon beast of his, is it using an attack to teleport power?" an old man was surprised.
"This kind of exercise is quite special, but is this considered a violation?"
"The rules only prohibit outsiders from helping, as for pet beasts, ......"
Tao Qi heard it and shouted: "Where is this help, I'm just tired, let Xiao Hao beat my back!"
The middle-aged man suddenly said: "This rat demon is not involved in the manipulation of magic weapons, so strictly speaking, it is not restricted, in fact, this is the same nature as taking stimulant drugs." ”
Some refiners are not strong enough, so they will buy drugs that stimulate true qi or divine thoughts, and explode on the spot, which is still permitted.
The refiner's evaluation focuses on skill and experience, and the refiner who lacks true qi but has the talent of refining is actually sympathetic, so he is relatively wide.
Tao Qi carved two layers of formation inside the pine stone melon, and finally stopped, he could only do this step.
The more layers of the formation, the more stable the magic weapon is, and the more times it can be used repeatedly, but now Tao Qi can't pay attention to quality.
The second material is "jade glue".
Although it is difficult to refine and cut, jade glue has a certain stretchability, and it does not require too much force to pull out the desired shape.
Of course, this amount of power is not something that can be provided during the foundation building period, and Tao Qi is still completed with the help of Xiao Hao.
"To be honest, it's not easy for this kid to do this, if you give him a few more low-grade materials and help him locate the pieces, he can really complete this magic weapon." An old man sighed.
"If you really add low-grade materials, can it still be called a magic weapon? Well, maybe it can be called, 'a one-time magic weapon that does not enter the stream', but this magic weapon is not enough to obtain the title of refining master!"
"In fact, the method of processing materials beyond the level, as well as the method of refining magic weapons, is not unusual, we have seen a few cases over the years, the key is to establish a channel with the plane fragments, he can't do this at all. ”
"But this son has shown such talent, I have the heart to accept the apprentice. ”
Tao Qi is now fully committed to the refining of the third material.
The formation of the magic weapon, in order to carry the Gang Qi, is by no means just carved like a magic weapon, and it also needs to fill the lines with a good conductor, which must smelt the minerals into a liquid.
This "Yuanji Red Copper" is already the conductor with the lowest melting point among the thirty-six materials, but no matter how hard Tao Qi tries, he can't see any signs of softening in it.
The corners of Tao Qi's mouth were bleeding, and Xiao Hao's long-term impact had already caused him internal injuries.
Of course, this is because Tao Qi did not use heavy armor, scroll qi, and feather armor techniques.
If the other two creatures were allowed to come out, the amount of force would be too great, and Tao Qi would not be able to bear it at all.
It seems that there is really no time.
"Damn the refining furnace, why can't you send out the Samadhi True Fire or something?" Tao Qi scolded depressedly.
"Speaking of Samadhi True Fire...... the voice of the fire god sounded in Tao Qi's head. (To be continued......)
