Chapter 398 Chief Refiner Master(1/2)
On the third floor underground of the Artifact Palace, a group of artificers were sweating profusely while refining the artefacts.
There is a medium-sized fire vein here, which was specially brought from elsewhere by the Lingjian Sect.
The Lingjian Sect wants to build this place into the sect's second headquarters. To this end, all functional departments must be complete.
The weapon refining department, as the mainstay of the sect, is naturally indispensable.
The Spirit Sword Sect dispatched more than a hundred weapon refiner apprentices, thirty weapon refiners, and five weapon refiners from the headquarters to be responsible for improving the weapon palace in the Spirit Sword Garden.
For refining, you can choose earth fire, pill fire, demon fire, spiritual charcoal, heaven and earth spiritual fire, etc.
However, only earth fire can provide a steady stream of stable fire energy for many disciples.
This is also the main reason why Lingjian Sect moved an entire medium-sized fire vein from a distance at all costs.
As the second most powerful weapon refiner in the sect, Zhao Cai single-handedly handled the relocation of this fire vein and the construction of the Lingjian Garden Artifact Hall.
On the three underground floors of the Artifact Palace, there are five earth fire rooms and an earth fire hall that can accommodate twenty people refining weapons at the same time.
"Hot, pay attention to the heat..."
"The smelting of spiritual materials must be thorough. I have told you so many times that I still can't remember."
"You are all the most qualified weapon refiners of our Lingjian Sect. Please cheer up."
"What about you? Don't be lazy and continue to control the fire."
"You bastard, haven't you eaten? You must use force when beating the embryo to erase all the defects in the embryo."
In the weapon refining hall, Zhao Cai couldn't help but curse.
These sect's weapon-refining seedlings are the sect's hope for the future and must be well-trained.
Zhao Cai's foundation was damaged in his early years and there was no hope of being promoted to Nascent Soul. Now, he only has fifty years left in his life span.
Zhao Cai was very satisfied to be able to become the best chief weapon master of Lingjian Sect. He felt that he had reached his limit.
If he continues to work hard, there will be no improvement at all. As long as he cannot be promoted to Nascent Soul, his weapon refining skills can only go so far.
He only hopes that the sect's weapon-refining seedlings he cultivated can adhere to his will and reach a higher position in the future.
"Senior Brother Zhao."
"Senior Brother Zhao."
Xie Kun and Liu Neng rushed to Zhao Cai in a state of excitement, their excited eyes not weakening at all.
"Thank you, Junior Brother, Junior Brother Liu, why are you all here? Doesn't the Qi Palace need someone to take charge?"
Zhao Cai had a look of blame on his face, and he was even more dissatisfied with the two of them for their recklessness.
His eyes clearly told the two of them that if they couldn't give a reasonable explanation, they would just wait for the sect's rules to deal with it!
"Senior Brother Zhao, don't be so quick to get angry. Take a look at this first."
Xie Kun licked his face and respectfully handed over the best magic weapon, which was the shield.
"Hey, top-notch magic weapon! Thank you, junior brother, you have made a breakthrough. No, even if you make a breakthrough, you can't progress so fast.
Well, it’s not Master’s handiwork, tell me! Where did it come from?”
After just one glance, Zhao Cai gave his opinion.
After that, I continued to appreciate it carefully, and the more I looked at it, the more surprised I became.
Naturally, the two of them would not hide anything, and hurriedly explained Zuo Yuxin's request for exchange in detail.
"Hiss! Zuo Yuxin is crazy. She actually exchanged a magic weapon of this quality for sect contribution points. If she regrets one day and exchanges it back again, it will cost 20% more contribution points."
Zhao Cai shook his head and thought Zuo Yuxin was crazy.
Hearing this, Xie Kun asked tentatively, "Senior brother, is this quality comparable to yours?"
"Hmph, it's not just comparable, it should be said that it's even better than what I refined. This person's qi training is the best magic weapon.
All of them are ordinary third-level spiritual materials, and not a single fourth-level spiritual material is used. Do you think it is very powerful?"
Zhao Cai was already certain that his weapon refining skills were not as good as the weapon refining genius who refined this shield.
Although he can also refine the best magic weapons, he needs to add at least a few fourth-level spiritual materials to achieve success.
"Hiss! It's so powerful. It's actually higher than the level of senior brother."
"Oh my God! Senior Brother Zhao, how should we evaluate it?"
Xie Kun and Liu Neng were shocked.
However, it was a shock. They couldn't do the work they were supposed to do. How were Zuo Yuxin and others waiting to exchange it for contribution points?
Zhao Cai thought for a long time and said sternly, "This top-quality magic shield is worth at least one million spiritual stones. Let's exchange it for 800,000 contribution points!"
This one is 700,000 yuan, and the last one is 550,000 yuan. That’s it. No, I’ll go over and announce it myself.”
After saying that, Zhao Cai asked his disciples to continue refining the weapons and personally fled to the third floor of the Palace of Weapons.
He really wanted to know who refined these three top-quality magic weapons. It would be great if he could have the opportunity to meet this person.
On the third floor of the Qi Palace, Zuo Yuxin was a little impatient waiting.
It's just to identify the best magic weapon, why did it take so long?
"Where's Senior Brother Liu? He's been gone for so long."
Zuo Yuxin muttered dissatisfiedly. She was not worried about the magic weapon being corrupted. Senior Brother Qidian didn't have such courage.
Ximen Changqing was not in a hurry. He was admiring the magic weapons here one by one in the three-story weapon palace area.
There are hundreds of magic weapons here, of which there are only five top-grade magic weapons, only thirty top-grade magic weapons, and the rest are medium- and low-grade magic weapons.
From the quality point of view, the magic weapon refined by the Spirit Sword Sect is of good quality, but in terms of materials, higher-grade materials have been added.
This undoubtedly increases the cost of refining magic weapons. Using low-level materials to refine high-level magic weapons is the real technology.
In the entire Lingjian Sect, no one surpasses Ximen Changqing's level. This is somewhat ironic, and it also shows his superb skills.
"Hahaha! I'm really sorry for keeping Junior Sister Zuo waiting for so long!"
Soon, Zhao Cai and three others came together. Hearing Zuo Yuxin's complaint, they apologized.
The two top weapon-refining masters who were stationed in the Lingjian Garden actually came together, which greatly surprised the Zuo brothers and sisters.
They knew very well that being able to alarm Master Zhao Cai was enough to show how extraordinary these three top-quality magic weapons were, and their worship of Ximen Changqing had been raised to a new level.
You must know how difficult it is for the entire Lingjian Sect to meet Master Zhao Cai.
Originally, Zuo Yuxin planned to ask Zhao Cai to refine the best magic weapon for herself, but Zhao Cai ignored him at all and did not even see him.
Xie Kun's skills were not very stable, so Zuo Yuxin remained hesitant and never took action until she met Ximen Changqing.
"Junior Sister Zuo, congratulations! Senior Brother Zhao said that the three top-quality magic weapons can be exchanged for 800,000, 700,000, and 550,000 respectively, for a total of 2.05 million sect contribution points."
Liu Neng smiled and told the exchange data, and personally allocated the contribution points to Zuo Yuxin's disciple token.
"Two million and a half million points!"
Hearing this, Zuo Yuxin was overjoyed. Previously, the various materials exchanged in the material warehouse amounted to 1.75 million sect contribution points.
She was also worried that the three top-quality magic weapons might not be enough. Unexpectedly, she could save 300,000 points, which she did not expect.
After allocating the points for redeeming materials, Zuo Yuxin's disciple tokens now have a total of 500,000 sect contribution points.
"Junior Sister Zuo, I would like to ask, where did these three top-quality magic weapons come from? Who made them?"
Zhao Cai asked straightforwardly, while Xie Kun and Liu Neng behind him also looked forward to it.
Zuo Yuxin looked back at Ximen Changqing and said truthfully, "That's this fellow Daoist Li."
"What, is it him?"
"So young!"
"For such a young man, whose cultivation is only in the middle stage of pill formation, he has such attainments in weapon refining. It's really amazing."
Hearing this, Zhao Cai and the other three were dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.
Regardless of age or cultivation level, Ximen Changqing is not like a first-class weapon refiner.
The improvement of weapon refining technology requires years of hard work. It cannot be improved quickly in a short time. Being young means that the learning time is not long enough.
Cultivation is even more important. Refining weapons is a huge test for physical strength, true energy, and soul. All three are indispensable.
And only higher cultivation can provide more sufficient true energy and a more powerful soul.
Generally speaking, if a master of weapon refining in the middle stage of elixir formation can refine a medium-grade magic weapon, he is considered very good.
Ximen Changqing, with his cultivation in the middle stage of pill formation, can directly refine the best magic weapon, and the refinement is so sophisticated that he is simply a monster.
"Junior Sister Zuo, have you seen with your own eyes that this fellow Daoist Li is refining weapons?"
After thinking about it for a moment, Xie Kun frowned and asked a question.
If Ximen Changqing really had such high attainments in weapon refining, he would be too evil, and he had to raise doubts.
After all, it is difficult for him to accept things beyond his cognition.
