Chapter 32 The Future of the Refiner

After buying the Qing Gel, Li Wan went to the drugstore on the street and bought a bottle of good wound medicine before returning to Tiangongfang.

At this time, Shi Haoguang and Xing Tongfang had completed the complicated and trivial tasks of entering the workshop and officially became the handymen of Tiangongfang.

"After all, we have misunderstood. If we don't practice the weapon method, we can't be an apprentice."

The two told Li Wan something, but their previous wishful thinking came to nothing. They couldn't refine weapons and couldn't be apprentices.

However, it can be seen that the two of them are still very satisfied, because Li Wan is a weapon refiner and will never treat them badly when he comes to the work site.

With such a relationship, even if you work as a handyman, you can still live a prosperous life, which is much more carefree than a casual cultivator who is wandering around.

"That's fine. If you want to be an apprentice, there will be many opportunities in the future." Li Wan heard this and comforted the two of them.

"That's right, you will have to rely on fellow Daoist Li more in the future. By the way, when you were out, Elder Gongshu came to see you and said that the workshop had hosted a reception banquet for you and invited you to the banquet tonight." The two of them said again.

Every weapon refiner is an important figure in the workshop. Although Li Wan is new here, the workshop will not look down upon him.

Li Wan was not surprised and said: "Okay."

After agreeing, he added: "I have something, please help me pay attention to it."

"whats the matter?"

"Last time, there was a girl in my treasure refining workshop. Please help me find out about her."

"Girl?" Shi Haoguang and Xing Tongfang showed ambiguous smiles, "Okay, we will help you find out, what do you want to know?"

"Don't think too much about it, I just... forget it, why am I telling you this? I just need to find her." Li Wan laughed at himself.

In the evening, Li Wan was invited to a banquet, and Gong Shuyuan and several fellow weapon refiners greeted him warmly.

From Gongshu Yuan's mouth, Li Wan learned that the ranks of Tiangongfang's weapon refiners were divided into three categories: elder, worshiper and guest minister.

Among them, the elder is a highly skilled weapon cultivator and must serve in Tiangongfang for a certain number of years before he can hold the position. The worshiper is a relatively high-level weapon cultivator and can refine magic weapons above real weapons. The guest is an ordinary weapon cultivator.

Able to refine ordinary magic weapons alone.

Most of the elders are old people in the village, and they themselves have taken root in the Wushan League. In addition to higher salaries and more privileges, they even enjoy the right to share dividends in the village.

It is the relationship between the proprietor and his customers, who determine their salary and power based on their respective contributions.

Li Wan has just joined the workshop and has no other privileges except the most basic salary and the rights of the owner of the weapon refiner. However, Gongshu Yuan told him that there is no need to worry about these.

"Our Tiangongfang has always selected people based on their ability. All the weapon refiners, no matter how close or distant they are, are based on refining magic weapons. Now that you have only made one piece of Fire Cloud Clothes, you are naturally not as good as those who have already been in the workshop."

Elders who have been refining hundreds of magic weapons for hundreds of years, but if you are more diligent and refine a few more famous weapons and important treasures, you will soon be able to catch up."

"Junior, please remember the teachings of our seniors. I am new here and I still have a lot to learn from your seniors." Li Wan said sincerely.

What he fears most is not falling behind others, but not having the opportunity to make progress. After hearing Gong Shuyuan's explanation, he felt relieved.

Gongshu Yuan said again at this time: "You mentioned to me last time that you need to start refining treasures as soon as possible. I have already found the workpieces that will be produced in the near future. You can see which ones you are interested in."

Interested is a euphemism. After all, Li Wan is still young. Even though he is extremely talented, he still has many limitations.

If you are able to refine one or two types of magic weapons, such as being good at precious armor and magical swords, you can be said to be a genius. But if you are proficient in swords, spears, swords, halberds, divine armor and precious clothes, you are the reincarnation of a monster.

Li Wan heard the implication, looked at the roster that Gongshu Yuan gave him, pondered for a moment, and asked, "How is the commission for the workpieces in the workshop calculated?"

"Rate? Generally speaking, ordinary non-grade magic weapons are 10%, ordinary magic weapons are 15%, high-grade magic weapons are 20%, and treasures are 30%."

"The workshop will give a deadline for handing over the work based on the ability level of most of the weapon refiners. If it can be completed early, additional rewards will be given according to the time. For example, you will be given ten days, but you will complete it in fifty days.

The fifty cents is equivalent to 50% of the gross profit."

Li Wan said: "No wonder I made the Fire Cloud Clothes and got 4.5%. It was originally an extra half on top of the original 30%."

Gong Shuyuan nodded with a smile and said: "As the saying goes, the more you work, the more you get. As long as you have the ability, it is very easy to earn spiritual jade. Moreover, the better the magic weapon you refine, the more you will earn, and it will be easier to become famous.

.”

"That's true. After all, magic weapons are no ordinary things. It's useless if they are in large quantities. Quality determines everything." Li Wan couldn't help but agree deeply after hearing this.

In the world of cultivation, most wealth is concentrated in the hands of the strong. Which of those big sects and families is not extremely rich?

If Tiangongfang wants to develop, it will take over the refining of magic weapons such as magic robes, magic swords and Ruyi bags from ordinary disciples. It will only be a small profit, mostly to recover costs and cultivate apprentices.

Refining more high-quality products and treasures, these are the main sources of profit.

Gongshu Yuan told Li Wan this, and also meant to encourage him to refine more good magic weapons.

But Li Wan is still a little confused. How profitable is the industry of weapon refining and how deep is the water?

These are things that the "Qi Zong Da Dian" cannot tell him. In ancient times, it seems that they didn't pay much attention to these things.

So Li Wan humbly asked Gong Shuyuan for advice, and most of the questions he asked were in this regard.

Gongshu Yuan seemed to have expected that he would care about this. He stroked his beard and chuckled: "Generally speaking, ordinary magical weapons are sold for one thousand spiritual jade, and the gross profit is as high as six to seven hundred pieces, and the weapon refiner can take a 15% commission from it."

The income is nearly a hundred jade.

But if he is highly skilled and uses limited materials to refine a high-grade magic weapon, he can increase the selling price to about 6,000, with a gross profit of up to 4,000 or 5,000! The commission for high-grade magic weapons is 20%, so it is not difficult to make a profit of more than 1,000.

"

Li Wan's heart moved: "If a treasure is refined, wouldn't it be even more extraordinary? The price is tens of thousands, and the gross profit is tens of thousands. If you take 30% of the price and add additional rewards, you can earn more than Wanling Jade in one month."

"Of course!" Gongshu Yuandao said.

Li Wan's heart suddenly surged like ocean waves.

The magic weapon here can bring you several times or even dozens of times the profit in a blink of an eye. No wonder people say that refining weapons makes money.

These are enough to be called huge profits. Other monks who search for secrets in various caves, kill people and seize treasures, attack each other and compete for territory... may not be able to match their fraction.

What's even worse is that in the end, people still have to use the money they have earned so hard to buy magic weapons to improve their strength!

Therefore, the art of weapon refining still has a bright future, but after all, the road is difficult to find, and those with great perseverance and great talent rarely get involved.

After listening to the discussions of Elder Gongshu Yuan and other Qi Dao seniors, Li Wan had a deeper understanding of where he would go in the future, and decided from this that he should make full use of his own advantages and value his essence rather than his wealth.

If you blindly value low-grade and ordinary-grade magic weapons, you will probably become a craftsman. Only by refining more high-grade and precious treasures can you become a master and gain both fame and fortune.

And by cultivating the Hongmeng Baoqi, I can also find a way to follow the path of cultivating weapons and using them to enter the Tao.

With a hint of enlightenment and the joy of seeing the road ahead clearly, Li Wan said goodbye to several colleagues he had met for the first time and returned to his monastery.

After a night of silence, the next day, he formally proposed to the shop that he would contract for a precious garment called Jin Ling Shang.

Li Wan hid a little thought. Although he wanted to show his strength and get the attention and protection of Tiangongfang, he also knew the truth of the crime of holding a jade. Too much edge should not be exposed, and he showed it for the first time.

His strength is to refine the Fire Scale Brocade Clothes, and now taking over the refining of the Jin Ling Clothes can give people the wrong impression that he is good at refining defensive magic weapons such as Treasure Clothes.

It is not surprising that he specializes in this and shows superb strength.

Because Li Wan had shown his strength, the contract request was quickly approved. In the afternoon of that day, a steward from Tiangongfang came with a warrant.

"Fellow Daoist Li, the rotating elder invites you to come to the meeting hall to discuss the contracting matters. Please be sure to go before the deadline."

Li Wan had already learned at this time that the work process of Tiangongfang was that the weapon refiner himself would first undertake the work piece, and then discuss it with the rotating elders and even all the elders. After everyone determines the materials and time required for the treasure refining, they will find out.

When reporting to the warehouse to withdraw materials, the duties of handymen, apprentices, and guards must be adjusted accordingly.

This meant he was summoned to discuss the matter of refining treasures. Li Wan had already known something about it, so he didn't say much and quickly made time to go.

The elders who are on duty this month, Li Wan happened to have met at the banquet yesterday. They are a monk named Yun, and two unknown weapon refiners, who are also old people in the workshop.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you're here, sit down." Elder Yun was quite friendly to him, smiling and beckoning him to sit down.

"Thank you, Senior Yun." Li Wan cupped his hand.

"Fellow Daoist Li, the workpiece you contracted is a magic weapon that requires at least a high-quality one. We want to hear what your plans are for this, what materials and materials are needed, and how much?" Elder Yun said straight to the point.

Materials for refining treasures must be accounted for. The more materials are spent, the smaller the gross profit will be. A low-level weapon refiner may even suffer serious losses. Naturally, Tiangongfang will not allow this to happen.

Li Wan pondered for a moment and then told his secret case.

This is the treasure clothing refining method he found in the "Archive Sect Canon". Most of the materials used are ordinary. Only one colorful peacock feather is more precious. If it can be refined, the cost will only be between six and seven thousand, but the price will be as high as three thousand yuan.

More than 10,000 yuan, the gross profit is not small.

However, just when he thought he could pass easily, a cold snort came from the door.

"Absurd! How can the colorful peacock feathers be mixed with the spirit deer skin without being infiltrated by the true dew of hundreds of refinements? Are you wasting the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that the deacons in the workshop have worked so hard to collect?"
