Chapter 40: Ten Treasures
"Master, what are you going to do?"
After leaving the courtyard where the elders gathered, beside Elder Rong, a young disciple had a sinister look on his face, his eyes flashing with eagerness: "Is there any disciple that I can help you with?"
"Of course you have something to do..." Elder Rong glanced at him and said, "Come here."
He gave some instructions in the ears of the young disciple.
"Do you understand?"
A flash of surprise flashed in the young disciple's eyes, and then he said flatteringly: "Master is very clever, so that Li Wan must know how powerful we are."
"Just do it as you do." Elder Rong gave a calm order, "But he is a weapon refiner. When you act, remember to pay attention to propriety, otherwise no one can save you if you fall into the hands of the eldest lady."
The young disciple quickly said: "Disciple understands."

"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!"
In Tiangongfang, in Li Wan's workshop.
The huge furnace was ignited, the flames rose high and made a roaring sound.
Several bare-chested strong men held the wooden board with their hands and stepped on the wheel hub. The connecting rod drove the wind wheel and quickly pushed the fan blades to rotate.
After a while, a steady stream of wind blew into the furnace, inflating the fuel inside to make the fire vigorous.
This is a commonly used fuel in the world of cultivation. It is similar to coal and stone, black and shiny, but the effect is much better. It is called sky fire stone.
Many heavenly materials and earthly treasures that are unique to the world of cultivation, if they are made of gold or iron, can only be refined using the flame ignited by this kind of fuel, which greatly saves the time of the refiner.
However, the effect of sky fire stone is limited to materials such as dark iron and fine steel, such as extraterrestrial star iron, which is still ineffective.
Li Wan directed the workers to melt the sword blades one by one, and then watched them quench and forge them.
"Very good. These mortal blacksmiths are all skilled and can forge a sword body that meets the requirements. What I have to do is to engrave Dao patterns on the unformed sword body and then refining it as a whole to create a magic sword.
The prototype is complete.”
Watching several magical sword blades being produced one after another, a look of satisfaction gradually appeared on Li Wan's face.
He took a rough embryo that had been completed earlier and stroked it with his palm, and a faint arrogance emerged.
After these few months of practice, his cultivation has gradually increased, and he has become much more relaxed and comfortable in activating the Hongmeng Baoqi.
"I have almost reached the late stage of Qi refining, and I will also reach the second level of Hongmeng Bao Qi."
The practice of Hongmeng Baoqi is divided into ten levels. Each level has different powers and effects. The higher the level of Hongmeng Baoqi, the better the effects it has, making it easier to refine the magic weapon.
However, the practice of this technique is closely related to one's own cultivation level. In the middle stage of Qi refining, you can only reach the first level at most, which is the stage for beginners to practice.
Fortunately, after several months of familiarity and mastery, Li Wan gradually figured out the key to improvement and kept it in sync with his own cultivation.
He was confident that as soon as he entered the late stage of Qi refining and returned to the state of returning to his original form, he would be able to achieve the second level.
"If I reach the second level, I'm afraid I will be able to try even the best magic weapons!" Li Wan's eyes flashed with a hint of eagerness to try.
Until now, he has not refined a perfect magic weapon, and he is very interested in trying this legendary object.
A mediocre weapon refiner will often be unable to refine a perfect product throughout his life, but as he inherited the "Archive Sect Grand Canon" and has the experience of many master weapon refiners, he naturally cannot settle for mediocrity.
Therefore, this exquisite magic weapon is not out of reach for him.
But refining a unique product still requires the right time, place and opportunity, which is a big challenge.
If you can refine even top-quality magic weapons as soon as you ask for it, then you will have greater confidence in refining genuine magic weapons in the future.
With a hint of expectation, Li Wan urged the purple flames to move toward the sword embryo and blend into it silently.
The entire sword embryo immediately turned fiery red.
Li Wan put it on the iron felt, and flew in with its wings fluttering along lines that looked like birds but not birds.
Gulu gulu...
As if bubbles were churning, a strong silver light appeared on the entire surface of the sword, and it was as sharp as ice.
The sharp chill from the sword's edge immediately filled the entire compartment, causing even the man who was stepping on the wheel hub a few feet away to shiver.
This is the sharp edge of the sword. Only with the sharp edge can the magic sword be able to cut through gold and iron. It is extremely sharp and distinguishes itself from ordinary soldiers.
Every sword like this is a magical weapon in the secular world, and even Qi Refining monks can't resist it.
Li Wan continued to activate Hongmeng Baoqi, and continued to use this method of combining water and fire to refine the impurities in the sword embryo.
He is using the activated flames, like flame tempering, to remove impurities from the sword embryo, leaving behind a tough and wear-resistant refined iron part.
The more precise this process is, the better the quality of the forged magic sword will be.
Ordinary weapon refiners mostly use the Sky Fire Stone to process it first, and then use their own true energy to turn it into the fire magical power, smelt it, and repeatedly forge it with a sledgehammer. Although they can forge magic swords, most of them are already in the process.
Impurities are added and the quality is reduced.
Li Wan, on the other hand, hung the sword in the air and directly refined it with the Hongmeng Bao Qi without touching the impurities of the furnace fire.
When it is almost melted and then forged to shape its shape, the inside of the sword body is already filled with iron essence, and the Dao lines are swimming and mysterious.
Finally, the surface that he had refined for a long time gradually formed a crystal-clear substance like a gem.
"It's done..."
Li Wan felt happy.
"What a sword! The frost blade is like snow, and the polish is like a mirror. At first glance, it looks like a sword that can blow hair and break hair!"
At this time, Gongshu Yuan came to inspect and saw Li Wan concentrating on playing with the magic sword in his hand, and couldn't help but stop.
But he remained silent until Li Wan stopped what he was doing and cheered.
There was a hint of excitement in his eyes, and the look he looked at Li Wan was even more appreciative.
Li Wan checked, put down the sword, and asked with a smile, "Elder Gongshu, why are you here?"
Gongshu Yuandao: "I patrol according to the regulations, it is my duty."
Li Wan said: "That's it. This place is simple and it's not convenient to greet you. I'm really sorry."
Gongshu Yuandao: "It doesn't matter, you just continue to practice the sword and don't worry about me. Having said that, your skills are really amazing. I have been in the workshop for many years and I know a lot, but I have never seen this before.
A sword-making method that can change physical properties and form frost blades."
Li Wan knew that he was vaguely trying, so he couldn't help but smile, but did not answer.
Gong Shuyuan knew that Li Wan didn't want to talk more, so he said: "It's a pity that such a magical sword still cannot become a treasure. At most, it will only be of high quality."
In the past few days, the magic weapons Li Wan had refined were all top-grade and ordinary-grade.
With his ability, refining the Hongmeng treasure energy at the first level cannot change the nature of the treasures too much. At most, it can only remove some impurities and make them more precise and detailed.
With such refinement, the improvement in quality is limited.
"With your skills, you should be able to complete the treasures on your own and become famous all over the world. It is really overkill to send them here to refine these things. But don't worry, after completing this batch of magical swords, you can rest soon.
, whatever magic weapon you want to practice is up to you, and you can choose and use the heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the workshop."
"Then I would like to thank Elder Gongshu here first. I also want to get some good materials recently." Li Wan smiled and nodded.
"That's right." At this time, Gongshu Yuan suddenly said again, "You should be more careful while you are busy refining weapons."
"What's the matter?" Li Wan asked a little strangely.
Gongshu Yuandao: "In the past few days, have you seen fresh-faced apprentices coming and going to deliver goods, or staying in the venue?"
Li Wan said: "Yes, I noticed it."
Gongshu Yuandao: "Those people seem to be interested in inquiring about you. You have refined hundreds of workpieces here. The apprentices in the workshop will have some discussions. We can't prohibit this."
In Tiangongfang, there are many people talking, especially the skills and levels of the weapon refiners. The apprentices see it in their eyes, and there will be some discussions in private.
After these days, Li Wan was put into great use as soon as he arrived, and his deeds of undertaking hundreds of workpieces gradually spread. There were also rumors among the people that Li Wan was a famous disciple from a certain big sect, and he inherited the order of the master's sect.
I came here when I was traveling abroad.
Since these rumors were favorable to Li Wan and came from the inner feelings of the apprentices and handymen, it was impossible for the workshop to ban people from speaking and issue a rude silence order.
After going back and forth, those who are interested in exploring will already know who is working hard one after another. This cannot be concealed.
It was this incident that Gongshu Yuan reminded Li Wan.
"Those people won't be harmful to me, right?" Li Wan asked with concern.
"You don't have to worry about this. Tiangongfang is not a dangerous place. The identity of the weapon refiner is also a talisman, which is enough to frighten Xiao Xiao." Gongshu Yuan reminded vaguely, "What you have to be wary of is that someone is messing with the materials and workpieces.
These tricks will create trouble for you. When the time comes, even the eldest lady will not be able to speak for you..."
Tiangongfang is no different from the outside world. Here, the identity of the weapon refiner is a talisman. If even the life of the weapon refiner is in danger, the foundation for the survival of the entire Tiangongfang will be in jeopardy.
However, this does not mean that Li Wan can feel at ease.
Competition among peers is far more dangerous than wandering loose cultivators playing tricks on each other. The plot is not as crude and direct as five bloody steps, but reputation and interests, career prospects, and status!
"Creating trouble...I won't give them a chance to take advantage of it. If I can't survive here and am framed or driven away, won't I make the same mistakes again?"
Li Wan frowned, thinking about the experience of offending Yin Shaohua and being unable to survive in the Zhengqimen.
He didn't want to have that experience again.
In addition, the secret of the "Qi Zong Da Dian" is exposed.
