Refining weapons, simply put, is divided into three steps:

Step 1: Forge the embryo!

Step 2: Quenching the cold device!

Step 3: Inspire the spirit for the weapon!

Among these three steps, the first step is "casting the tool embryo" is the most difficult. The tool embryo is actually the basis of "refining the tool". If the tool embryo is not good, even if the quenching technique and the spirit-enlightening technique are high, that magic weapon cannot become a top-quality magic weapon.

The first step is to "cast the weapon embryo" successfully. Then, the refining weapon will be more than 60% successful.

More than 70% of the content of the book "Introduction to Refining Weapons" talks about how to refine and create a qualified or even perfect weapon.

The first prerequisite for determining the quality of the tool embryo is the material. If the quality of the material is very poor, there are many impurities, and no matter how high the technology is, it is useless. It is hard for a skilled woman to cook without rice. Therefore, after ordinary weapon refiners get refining materials such as the body of monsters, the first thing they do is to remove the impurities and remove the rotten and damaged parts of monsters.

The second prerequisite for determining the quality of the tool embryo is: flame!

The flame mentioned in the art of refining is not just that the temperature of the flame is high. Because some materials have a main material melting temperature not necessarily very high, but the melting temperature of impurities is higher than that of the main material. Therefore, an unqualified weapon refiner may melt the main material, leaving impurities behind. This requires a high control ability of the weapon refiner.

In the world of immortal cultivation, this work is generally done by cultivators with fire spirit roots, or cultivators with multiple spirit roots who major in fire attribute exercises, because their magic is related to fire and their control over flames is much stronger than other cultivators.

Jiang Chen has a mixed spiritual root, that is, all spiritual roots are complete, so naturally there is also a fire spiritual root. Moreover, there are dark cold flames in his body, which is even less of a problem for him.

The third prerequisite for determining the quality of the tool embryo is: the proportional matching of the refining materials.

There are indeed many special substances in the world of immortal cultivation, and they can be refined into magic weapons with just this substance.

However, this type of special substance is extremely rare in the entire world of immortal cultivation. Among the ten thousand magic weapons and even magic weapons, 9999 of them were successfully cast by combining a variety of materials.

Moreover, multiple materials are matched in a certain proportion to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses. This will make the refined earth magic tools and spiritual tools more perfect. However, the melting temperatures of so many different materials are different, and the characteristics of various materials are also different. It is very high to match them to a perfect state in a certain proportion. This is also the biggest test for weapon refiners.

Because it is very important: in the world of immortal cultivation, few materials are completely pure. Almost all materials have impurities. It’s just that the number of impurities is a little different.

A piece of weapon refining material may be absolutely pure to an ordinary cultivator. However, when a weapon refiner is in front of a weapon refiner, impurities will be found. This is because the weapon refiner's eyesight and spiritual consciousness are far higher than that of ordinary cultivators.

Similarly, for some refining materials, ordinary refiners cannot find the impurities in it, but a senior refiner can find the impurities hidden in it. If you want to become a true master-level refiner, don’t ignore the little bit of impurities. Maybe because of that little impurity, you can refine the earth magic weapons and magic weapons, and turn them from the best to the defective ones. Therefore, refining weapons is a very rigorous and meticulous job, and you can’t tolerate any carelessness.

This is also why few masters in the world of immortal cultivation who can achieve the Dan-Creating Stage or even the Nascent Soul Stage can excel in refining weapons.

Therefore, in the world of immortal cultivation, the status of weapon refiners is also very high, and they are on par with alchemists, talisman makers, and formation masters.

According to Fairy Lu Yin, she is just a master in the middle stage of the Golden Pill. But the masters in the Nascent Soul stage in the Beihai are polite when they see her. After all, who can guarantee that she will not ask her to help refine magic weapons in the future?

Jiang Chen nodded repeatedly after hearing this, thinking that if his alchemy skills were exposed, they would probably be similar to those of Fairy Green. But his performance was already shocking enough. Fortunately, when the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm was about to be opened, it was time for people to use, and these three fairies did not question themselves carefully. If it were normal, they would be a little suspicious, so why would a monster-like genius suddenly emerge?

A few days later, just as Jiang Chen was studying "Introduction to Refining Weapons", the voice of Fairy Luyin sounded next to him: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you can watch it later. Now I have sorted some basic refining materials, and you can prepare to start practicing how to cast embryos and melt materials...

After hearing this, Jiang Chen hurriedly followed Fairy Luyin to the weapon refining pavilion, and began to learn to refine weapons day and night under the guidance of Fairy Luyin.

It can be seen that Fairy Lu Yin really wanted to cultivate Jiang Chen's weapon refining skills so that she could cooperate with her. Therefore, she did not hide her own personal information and taught Jiang Chen everything she knew.

Jiang Chen learned how to refine weapons during the day, and at night he watched "Introduction to Refining Weapons" given by Fairy Lu Yin and the Soul-Devouring Sword Refining Method obtained in the Magic Sect Training Camp. The refining skills quickly and steadily improved...

When the two were refining weapons, Jiang Chen also asked Fairy Lu Yin privately, why did she think of studying refining weapons?

Fairy Lu Yin told Jiang Chen truthfully what she thought: she originally wanted to learn to refine elixirs when she was young, because the elixirs improved the cultivator's cultivation the greatest improvement.

However, she soon discovered that most of the herbs used to refine alchemy had to wait for hundreds of years to mature, and many of the materials were too scarce. At that time, her master really couldn't let her practice, so she substituted for the refining technique. Unexpectedly, after experimenting with refining several times, she found that she seemed to be quite skilled in this regard, so she decided to keep studying. Later, she gradually became famous and has become the highest-level senior weapon refiner in the Coral Islands.

While Jiang Chen was feeling the truth, he couldn't help but think of Zi Xi. He didn't know where she, who is also good at refining weapons, is now...

After Jiang Chen learned the weapon refining technique from Fairy Green in three months, Fairy Emerald and Fairy Ming Pearl finally returned. They brought back the materials Jiang Chen wanted, and also brought amazing news: In addition to the monks from the islands of the Beihai Sea, there were also a large number of monks from the Shenzhou Continent. The number of people entering the secret realm of Jiuyou this time is probably the highest in history.

"Why are there so many people?" Fairy Luyin couldn't help but ask curiously.

"This is because... there are still decades of war between the righteous and the demons that will begin! So many monks want to seize every opportunity to seek breakthroughs!" The Emerald Fairy frowned and sighed.

"The battle between the righteous and the demon?" Everyone was shocked at this time, and Jiang Chen even raised his ears. He wanted to hear the views of the righteous monks on the battle between the righteous and the demons.

According to the Jade Fairy, on the other side of the Hengduan Mountains, a large number of evil heretics lived. They poisoned the people on the other half of the continent, bullied men and women, and did everything they could. The people and kind monks there lived a life of dire straits and were waiting for the chivalrous people on the righteous side to save them.

Therefore, the heads and elders of the top ten super sects of the Zhengdao are holding a meeting to discuss and are preparing to issue a task of "slaying demons and pursuing the Tao". After the war between the Zhengdao begins, the chivalrous people on the Zhengdao side will be mobilized to save the "suffering" people and the "kind" monks on the Demon Sect.

Jiang Chen almost almost vomited blood. All the sects and immortal cultivators on the Demon Sect were mobilized and they began to prepare a hundred years in advance. According to the different skills and cultivation levels of the monks, they were good at starting to reorganize the magical powers and magical powers, and they were preparing to establish a group of multiple body refiners and monks. When the ban disappeared, they launched a fierce attack.

But Zhengdao seems to be not dissatisfied. He even thinks that the other party’s people are living in dire straits and doesn’t know where they come from this understanding. It seems that the leaders of these Zhengdao sects are also a bit pedantic.

However, he felt relieved. Although the number of righteous monks surpassed that of the Demon Sect, the number of high-level monks was similar to that of the two sides. However, the Demon Sect monks are now a whole, and are reorganized and created according to the requirements of the legion. Their combat power is definitely far from comparable to a loose sand on the True Sect. If you really fight, I am afraid that the Demon Sect will win much more.

After thanking the Jade Fairy and the Pearl Fairy, Jiang Chen paid the spirit stones as much as possible, then took these materials and entered the refining room, preparing to start refining the Soul-Devouring Sword.

In the refining room, Jiang Chen waved his hands solemnly. Twenty jade boxes containing various main materials fell into various places in the refining room and arranged according to certain rules.

Then all kinds of boxes, wooden boxes, etc. flew out of the storage bag one after another, all landed in front of Jiang Chen and opened the lid under the power of his spiritual sense, revealing various auxiliary materials that had been refined and processed long ago.

Jiang Chen looked at these materials, took a deep breath, then slowly sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, relaxed his spirit and slowly entered meditation. He wanted to adjust his mental and physical condition to the best state.

After about a stick of incense, Jiang Chen opened his eyes and a yellow glow appeared on his body.

As soon as these rays of light appeared, the top-grade spirit stones inlaid on the already fixed weapon refining array emitted a dazzling light, and the entire weapon refining array started to operate in a low sound.

Although Jiang Chen's body was not moving, his ten fingers kept missileing, and his spiritual senses led various main materials to fly out of the jade box.

In the weapon refining array on the ground, there were bursts of "puff, puff" sounds, and light columns as thick as bowls shot out from everywhere, just covering the melt inside them, making them unable to move in the light columns.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen closed his eyes again, smiled faintly, calmly released his powerful spiritual consciousness, and put all the light columns into control.

Suddenly, the light columns began to flash and change colors as if they were alive.

This strange scene appeared. After countless times of color changes, the colors gradually became consistent.

As a result, after the last change of color, all the light columns turned into light green colors, no longer changing, but fixed, reflecting the green melt wrapped in it, which became even greener and more lukewarm.

Jiang Chen's face showed joy. He opened his mouth and a green elixir fire spurted out of his mouth, just spraying onto a pillar of light. This was the strange fire in Jiang Chen's body.

With a "puff" sound, the entire column of light began to burn and instantly turned into a dark green column of fire.

Jiang Chen spewed out the cold flames one by one without hesitation, igniting the column of light.

The fire pillars more than twenty feet high flashed with dazzling red light in the refining room.

Jiang Chen sighed lightly! In terms of the power of flames, earth fire is much stronger than the gorgeous strange fire, but unfortunately, the refining of this soul-devouring knife is not because the greater the power of the flame, the better. Instead, the baking temperature and temperature of the flames have reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to grasp.

This forced him to suffer a severe injury to his vitality for a while and consumed so much spiritual power. Fortunately, he has been practicing alchemy for a long time and has a stronger grasp of the fire than ordinary weapon refiners, otherwise he would not be so easy to handle.

At this moment, under the control of Jiang Chen's spiritual consciousness and the power of the magic array, the green melt began to gradually deform in the fire column... (To be continued...)
