Chapter 27 Pointing and Refining
Shen Ruiling left the back mountain and walked towards his cave. On the way, he met Zhao Jie who had led the cave.
As soon as Zhao Jie saw Shen Ruiling, he ran over and asked:
"Brother Shen, should I go back to Shanghai Shangfang or stay with the family?"
"Of course, if you stay in the family, you have already reached the sixth level of Qi training, and the spiritual energy in the store can no longer satisfy your normal cultivation.
"But where can I go to refine weapons here?" Zhao Jie was a little anxious.
"This is easy to handle. I will take you to see my sixth grandfather. He is a second-level mid-level weapon refiner in our family. He has all the materials for the weapon refinement." Shen Ruiling said with a smile.
With that said, he led Zhao Jie towards the family's weapon refining workshop.
I saw three bungalows side by side. There were piles of spiritual wood outside, and inside they were refining weapons. An old man and a young tribesman were shirtless. On the anvil, the old man wielded a sledgehammer and knocked, while the young tribesman held a small hammer and clicked.
.One big and one small, knock a little, one is muddy and the other is clear, the sound has a rhythm, "ding ding...dong...ding ding...dong"
Another group of people squatted in front of the stove, pushing and pulling the bellows, huffing and puffing, and burning the fire extremely brightly. The red-hot coals flickered under the force of the wind, as if they were about to turn into water.
There is a large wooden barrel next to the anvil, which contains spiritual spring water. Every time you hit the iron several times, you need to use pliers to put the embryo of the magic weapon into the water to cool it, which is called quenching. Quenching can increase its hardness and make it more durable in the future.
After quenching, it needs to be put into the furnace to continue burning, and then taken out to continue beating, back and forth, over and over again.
When Shen Ruiling and the two walked into the weapon refining workshop, waves of heat hit their faces.
"Grandpa Six, Ling'er is here to see you." Shen Ruiling called to the old man swinging the hammer.
The old man turned around and saw Shen Ruiling laughing, and said to the people next to him:
"You come."
Then he put down the forging hammer and walked towards Shen Ruiling and the others.
The old man was shirtless, with gray hair sticking to his body, looking like a mortal blacksmith.
"You kid, you haven't seen me for a long time," the old man said with a dissatisfied tone.
"Ling'er will come to visit you as soon as he comes back." Shen Ruiling replied with a smile.
"You kid don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason. I don't have any magic weapon suitable for you."
"No, no, no, I brought Zhao Jie here this time." Shen Ruiling pointed at Zhao Jie beside him and said.
"This is the second-level high-grade weapon refiner newly recruited by the family."
The old man looked at this young man who was several years younger than Shen Ruiling with surprise. Although he had heard from the patriarch that the family had recruited a second-level high-grade weapon refiner in the shop in Hushangfang.
He also looked at several second-order high-grade magical artifacts among the magical artifacts brought back from Shanghai Shangfang. The materials used for each artifact were just right, without any material loss, and the performance was maximized to perfection.
He originally thought that the second-level high-grade weapon refiner must be the same age as him, but now he saw that he was so young, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Shen Ruiling looked at the old man's reaction, which he had seen on the faces of Shen Huanchi and Shen Huanqun. But Shen Huanbin's next action surprised Shen Ruiling again.
I saw Shen Huanbin actually bowing to Zhao Jie,
"Master Zhao."
Zhao Jie was also startled by this sudden movement and hurriedly helped him up.
"Senior, what are you doing?"
"No, no, no, this is the rule of the weapon refiner. If your skills are better than mine, you are the senior." Shen Huanbin looked serious.
In fact, only Shen Huanbin knew in his heart that he was also a person who liked weapon refining since childhood. When he first came into contact with the weapon refining business when he was still in the family school, Shen Huanbin was very excited.
Then he began to indulge in it. Compared with the current Zhao Jie, he spent too much time on refining weapons, so that his own cultivation level fell. Although he had the qualification of three spiritual roots, he was worse than the four spiritual roots. All tribesmen must be slow.
When he realized it, he missed the foundation building even though he tried his best to catch up. Shen Huanbin simply saw it and devoted himself to refining the weapon, preparing to become the family's first level three weapon refining master.
Unfortunately, after Shen Huanbin was promoted to the second-level mid-level weapon refining master, his weapon refining skills never improved. Although the second-level mid-level magic weapon was refined more and more perfect, once it was refined, Making a second-level high-quality magic weapon will fail and a lot of materials will be wasted.
Over the years, he has slowly given up thinking about promotion and started to train the next batch of tribesmen, hoping that there will be people who can fulfill his wish.
Until last time, the patriarch Shen Huanchi told him that the family had recently recruited a second-level high-grade weapon refiner. After taking the second-level high-grade magic weapon refined by Zhao Jie, he was impressed by Zhao Jie's weapon refining skills. He did not expect that There are such amazing people who can combine two materials so perfectly.
At first, Shen Huanbin thought that the second-level high-grade weapon refiner should be about the same age as him, and he was only lucky enough to be promoted. But now seeing that Zhao Jie is so young, he knows that he was wrong. He has now put dignity and what They all gave up, he just wanted a few words of advice from the master.
Zhao Jie hurriedly helped the old man in front of him, completely confused as to what he was doing.
"Last time I saw the Zhulong Yue made by the master. It perfectly combined the teeth of the Fire Emperor Python with its spine. It really opened my eyes and I realized that I have always been that person. Frog in the well." Shen Huanbin said with excitement.
Zhao Jie didn't know what to do after seeing it. Shen Ruiling next to him couldn't stand it anymore. He knew that his sixth grandfather liked to refine weapons, but he didn't expect that he would be as crazy as Zhao Jie.
"Master, look, I have a piece of black stone tortoise shell, but I have tried every means to make it fuse with the refined iron. What do you think we should do?" Shen Huanbin pointed at the tortoise shell aside and said.
Zhao Jie looked at it for a while, lowered his head and thought,
"Find some second-level blood, and use blood water for each quenching, so that it can have a harmonizing effect..."
Shen Huanbin listened with great interest and did not dare to relax at all. He raised some doubts from time to time, and Zhao Jie also explained them to him.
Shen Ruiling, a layman, was a little fascinated when he heard it. It was indeed a profession similar to alchemy, and there was a lot of essence in it.
Shen Huanbin and Zhao Jie discussed for a while, and Shen Huanbin suddenly mentioned,
"Master, it has been almost forty years since I was promoted to the second-level mid-grade weapon refiner, but I have not been able to be promoted until now. Every time I refine the second-level high-grade materials, I fail inexplicably. I would like to ask for your advice." Shen Huan Bin said sincerely.
Zhao Jie listened to the master's voice, and although he became confused, he could only let him go.
"See if you can take some materials and refine them. I'll help you take a look at it. Do you think it's okay?" Zhao Jie suggested after thinking for a while.
"It's just that I don't have good skills, so I'm afraid it will be wasted." Shen Huanbin flinched a little. A second-grade high-grade material is worth hundreds of spiritual stones. I have wasted a lot before, but every time I thought I was going to succeed, I failed. .
"It's okay. I'll help you save him until the last moment." Zhao Jie said.
Shen Ruiling next to him also advised.
Shen Huanbin took a second-order high-grade spiritual bamboo and prepared to make it into a green light sword.
Shen Huanbin poured a stream of spiritual power into the furnace, and the flames suddenly shot up into the sky, making Shen Ruiling feel like he was facing an underground fire hole.
Shen Huanbin put the spiritual bamboo into the fire. Under the burning flames, the spiritual bamboo slowly changed. The color gradually turned into dark green, and the hardness gradually increased. He hammered it one after another, and finally immersed it in the spiritual spring. In the middle, with a "squeak" sound, a burst of white smoke suddenly floated up...
Zhao Jie stood aside, carefully watching Shen Huanbin's weapon refining, trying to find out the reason for his actions.
Just when the embryo was about to take shape, Zhao Jie immediately stopped Shen Huanbin, who was about to take the next step. After thinking for a while, he said:
"I think I know what your problem is?"
Shen Huanbin cried with joy after hearing this. Only he knew his own suffering. After so many years of not making progress, suddenly one day the bottleneck that had troubled him was discovered. You can imagine the joy in his heart.
"Master, tell me!"
Zhao Jie thought for a while and said:
"I discovered that every time you forge, you will have a short period of time to accumulate energy. It's just an inadvertent moment. I just discovered it.
This may be a habit left over from your years of refining weapons, but these few moments of accumulating power caused the weapon embryo to heat unevenly, causing it to explode."
Shen Huanbin thought about it for a moment. A weapon refiner like him already had his own unique habits. So before Zhao Jie brought it up, Shen Huanbin was not aware of this inadvertent detail. Now think about it. It is true that I can accumulate strength inadvertently.
Shen Huanbin also asked some second-level weapon refiners for advice on this problem, but none of them could be solved. Today, Zhao Jie brought it up with excitement on his face.
Now that he knows the problem, Shen Huanbin is busy correcting it.
Shen Ruiling called him to stop,
"Grandpa Six, I brought Zhao Jie here to ask you for materials for refining weapons!"
"Oh, yes, in this case, I will send the family materials to the master, and I will also send the spiritual firewood."
When Zhao Jie heard that there was information, his eyes lit up and he wanted to occupy his position.
