Chapter 1174 Breakpoints
"Gudong!" After two top-grade Qi-replenishing pills were eaten, a large amount of true qi soon appeared in Lin Ze's dantian.
He calmed down, the true energy in his body was circulating here, and a faint white light was once again stimulated at the tip of the needle.
Lin Ze's eyes fell on the long sword in his hand. As the true energy flowed, he had already found the previous breakpoint.
Then, his wrist trembled slightly, and the swaying white light on the needle tip fell to the breakpoint of the long sword's array pattern again.
As the short needle in Lin Ze's hand continued to move, the true energy in his body was consumed like flying as before, and as the distance of the white light moved continuously increased, the speed of the true energy he consumed increased exponentially.
It is so difficult to engrave array patterns on the sword embryo, which is not something that ordinary people can imagine.
Just like some records on the earth, it is difficult for ordinary people to reach.
For example, it is like a world record of sprinting a hundred meters multiplied by one hundred, and it is absolutely impossible to be the same as a world record of 10,000 meters.
Because the longer a person runs, the greater the physical strength and endurance he consumes, and the speed of his running will slow down accordingly. Correspondingly, the time required will continue to increase, and it is not simply increased by multiples.
The world record of 100 meters is now 9.58 seconds, while the world record of 10,000 meters is 26 minutes and 17.53 seconds.
If it is really possible to multiply by one hundred to calculate the world record of ten thousand meters, then the world record of ten thousand meters should be 958 seconds, that is, 15.9667 minutes, rather than the current 26 minutes and 17.53 seconds.
There is a ten-minute gap between the two.
Athletes can sprint with all their might within a hundred meters, and the speed is as fast as lightning, but if this distance is expanded to 10,000 meters, then the person who runs with a 100-meter sprint speed will definitely not be the first to break through the finish line, and he will definitely be the first to fall.
Similarly, if you engrave one-tenth or less array patterns on the sword embryo, at the beginning, you may only need a very small amount of true energy, such as the strength of the seven or eight levels of acquired levels, you can do it with all your strength. However, as the number of array patterns increases later, the true energy consumed by engraving array patterns will increase in geometric multiples.
Perhaps at this time, even the quasi-innate strength cannot be achieved in one go, just like Lin Ze now. With his quasi-innate strength, he only had to stop and rest after engraving one-fifth of the formation pattern.
It can be seen that it is difficult to engrave the array pattern.
As time passed, the array patterns on the sword embryo became more and more. Soon, the number of array patterns engraved by Lin Ze this time reached the eighth floor last time.
Suddenly, Lin Ze's wrist shaking stopped because the little white light on the short needle had suddenly disappeared.
Seeing this, Lin Ze sighed softly, shook his head, feeling very unhappy.
However, even though Lin Ze was unwilling to accept it, he had no choice but to give up because of the impending exhaustion of his true energy.
Otherwise, if we forcefully continue, Lin Ze will still hurt himself.
Lin Ze's depression did not last for a few seconds. Soon, he took the top-grade Qi-replenishing Pill again, sat cross-legged, and quietly adjusted his breathing.
Ten minutes later, the true energy in Lin Ze's dantian became full again.
Widths of true qi appeared from the top-grade Qi-enhancing Pill, and then flowed into Lin Ze's dantian along the meridians. Soon, Lin Ze's true qi was completely restored.
At this time, the mysterious white light bloomed again in the amethyst needle on Lin Ze’s hand.
At the same time, Lin Ze's hand sank down, and a wisp of true energy immediately swept across the long sword, easily finding the previous breakpoint, and successfully connecting the breakpoints of this array pattern and continuing.
Although Lin Ze was extremely serious when engraving the array patterns, and his movements were meticulous under the command of induction, the difficulty of engraving the array patterns was indeed too great. In addition, this was Lin Ze's first weapon refining, so his essence, energy, and spirit were not enough to support him in completing this feat.
When he stopped again, not only did the true energy in his body almost exhausted, but even his mental power was consumed almost the same. He felt extremely tired and almost unsupported.
After stopping this time, Lin Ze did not continue to swallow the top-grade Qi-replenishing Pill.
The recovery of mental power is not as fast as the recovery of true qi. It will take about an hour to restore all of Lin Ze's mental power.
At this time, Lin Ze was ready to discuss with Qu Jingwen and others around him about the problems in the refining of the weapon before? Did he make a mistake in his refining of the weapon?
After resting for a while, after a little rest, Lin Ze directly threw the semi-finished Xuanbing in his hand to Qu Jingwen on the side.
"Qu Jingwen, let me tell you, are there any problems with my weapon refining?"
Qu Jingwen didn't say much, and directly took over the semi-finished Xuanbing thrown by Lin Ze to him, and then immediately transported all his true energy and started to sense it.
Soon, a white sword light appeared on the surface of the semi-finished Xuanbing refined by Lin Ze.
A smile appeared on Lin Ze's face, and a sword light appeared on the sword's body, which means that his weapon refining was successful.
Soon, Qu Jingwen finished checking the semi-finished Xuanbing in his hand, and then he looked like he wanted to say but dared not say it.
Seeing Qu Jingwen like this, Lin Ze knew it in his heart. He said directly to Qu Jingwen: "Say it, you say whatever you want, don't care about my problem."
After Qu Jingwen planted the puppet mark by Lin Ze, although he did not lose his consciousness, he was free most of the time, and had his own ideas and life. However, once Lin Ze was involved, Qu Jingwen and others were very obedient. They did not dare to say bad things about Lin Ze at all, nor did they dare to anger Lin Ze.
"Yes, master!" With Lin Ze's words, Qu Jingwen's face suddenly relaxed.
Then, he said directly: "Master, there are some problems with your Xuan Soldier."
"Oh, really, tell me!" Lin Ze said with an interest.
Qu Jingwen did not answer immediately. He first gently tweeted the sword three times before saying, "Master, when you were engraving the array pattern, you did not do it in one go. There were several pauses in the middle, which caused a very obvious disadvantage on the Xuanbing."
"Oh, what's the disadvantage!" Lin Ze continued to ask.
Others may not be able to see the mystery of where Qu Jingwen pointed his finger, but Lin Ze could see it at a glance.
Because where Qu Jingwen pointed his finger was the breakpoint left by Lin Ze before because of his unsustainable true energy.
Due to the limitation of true qi, Lin Ze was unable to engrave all the array patterns at one time before.
Lin Ze only performed three inscribed array patterns before, and therefore, Lin Ze left three breakpoints on the long sword.
This was helpless, and Lin Ze didn't care much before, but Qu Jingwen was able to identify it at a glance and say that there was a flaw in it, which surprised Lin Ze so much.
Qu Jingwen nodded gently and quickly said, "Master, there is nothing wrong with the inscribed array pattern. It can be said that it is extremely perfect. However, there are too many breakpoints on the sword. In this way, even if the engraving of the array pattern is successfully completed later, it will have a huge negative impact on the entire array pattern. Not to mention anything else, when the true qi is input, these breakpoints will greatly hinder the operation of the true qi on the array pattern, and thus will not exert much power."
Qu Jingwen's words made Lin Ze frown directly. He thought for a while and soon it became clear that Qu Jingwen was right.
Just like the keels needed for shipbuilding, the strength of the keels made of forged in one go is definitely much stronger than the strength of the keels welded with a welding machine.
The keels cast in the factory can be used as keels of warships or even 10,000 tons of ships. However, keels of the same scale, welded by welding machines can only be used as keels of civilian ships, and even keels of 10,000 tons of civilian ships cannot be used as keels of 10,000 tons.
Similarly, the Xuan Soldier Lin Ze refined now is the same.
It looks no different from ordinary Xuan soldiers, and it can even be said to be better. (The earth fire is extremely stable, and with the help of Lin Ze's induction, the sword embryo he refined is indeed of better quality than ordinary sword embryos.)
However, no matter how good the quality of the Xuanbing is, it cannot change the fact that the quality of the array patterns on the Xuanbing is not good.
If such Xuanbing is sold, only those warriors who don’t have much money on them will buy them.
A truly rich warrior, or a strong man, would never have such a mysterious soldier with broken points on the formation pattern.
Because such mysterious soldiers are really harmful to warriors.
It would be nothing if you bought it as an ornament, but if you want to use it to fight, the result would be very miserable.
The same Xuan soldiers, the trend of Xuan soldiers full of breakpoints will cost more true energy. And no one knows whether the breakpoint on this Xuan soldiers will suddenly explode, which will make you unable to use this Xuan soldiers.
If such a thing really happens in the battle of life and death, I believe this warrior will definitely regret it and his intestines are blue.
"Well, this breakpoint is indeed a problem." Lin Ze frowned.
Even if these breakpoints will not affect the use of Xuan soldiers, Lin Ze believes that no one will like Xuan soldiers full of breakpoints.
Just like when you go to buy a car, there is a luxury car in the car shop that costs a very cheap price, but the problem is that it is full of carved patterns that are accidentally carved. Would you buy such a car?
