Ye Mo returned to the cabin bedroom, entered the ancient painting, and handed the blueprint of the Dark Iron Spirit Sword that he had finally bought to the little fox.
The little fox was greatly surprised.
"With the blueprint of this Black Iron Spirit Sword, I can make it soon, hehe!"
Ah Li took the blueprint and left Ye Mo aside, concentrating on researching how to refine the Black Iron Spirit Sword.
Ye Mo watched for a while and quietly exited the ancient painting without disturbing Ah Li.
After practicing water archery in the cabin for half an hour, Ye Mo entered the ancient painting again to see the progress of the weapon refining.
However, Ah Li still held the weapon-making blueprints and looked at them with great interest.
After repeating this several times, Ye Mo's anxious mood gradually calmed down.
"Don't be in a hurry. Refining weapons is not something that can be accomplished overnight. If I were to refine swords by myself, I'm afraid it would take several months or even one or two years before I could get started with weapon refining and become a weapon refining apprentice. Ali can refine weapons, but it would also take some time.
Let’s think about it.”
Ye Mo began to calm down and practice water archery again. He planned to enter the Ancient Painting Fairy Village once a day to check the progress of Ali's weapon refining.
After one night, at dawn the next day.
Ye Mo entered the ancient painting and weapon refining workshop again.
"Master, I have refined a dark iron spiritual sword!"
Ali held up a black spiritual sword as if offering a treasure.
"So fast! I made the Black Iron Spirit Sword in one night! I once asked the weapon-making apprentices in Donglaixian Village. Those weapon-making apprentices have to study for at least a year, and the yield is only about 20%. If
Let those weapon-refining apprentices know that Ah Li can refine the Black Iron Spirit Sword in one day, and they will definitely praise you as a genius."
Ye Mo was overjoyed and quickly took the black spirit sword.
He did not exaggerate. It usually takes several years for a weapon-making boy in Donglaixian Village to become a weapon-making apprentice. It also takes a long time for a weapon-making apprentice to become a weapon-making master. Five or ten years is normal.
"Hehe! Thank you Master for the compliment!"
The little fox looked proud.
Ye Mo carefully looked at the blade of the sword and found two hair-like fine lines. He couldn't help but touch it and said to the little fox, "However, there are still two very small cracks on the blade of this black iron spirit sword. Now
Will it affect durability?”
"Ah, the master discovered that this is actually just a low-quality black iron spirit sword! When I was refining it last night, I accidentally failed to control the heat properly. There were two small cracks. The quality dropped a lot and it couldn't reach the standard.
The requirements on the refining drawings.
The weapon-refining blueprint says that for every hair-like crack, the durability of the spirit sword will be reduced by 10%. Any cracks are an unqualified and inferior product."
Ali stuck out her tongue and said with a smile.
Ye Mo nodded, secretly wondering if he should sell this low-quality black iron sword at a low price.
"But it doesn't matter, I'll put it back into the furnace and refine it again."
Ah Li had already taken the inferior black iron sword and threw it back into the furnace to rebuild it.
"Well, inferior black iron swords can be recycled!"
Ye Mo was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized. He thought that this inferior spirit sword could not be sold for a price, and he still regretted the waste of materials.
"The materials for refining weapons can generally be recycled. Not only this black iron sword, but also other discarded spiritual weapons, as long as the owner takes them back, they can decompose them into useful materials and re-refine them."
As Ali added wood to the furnace, he continued, "Refining weapons is different from refining elixirs. If the elixir is refining to waste, the materials will be useless and cannot be re-refined."
"Um!"
Ye Mo nodded and kept it in mind.
..
Ali's intelligence is extremely high, and his talent in weapon refining can be described as a genius.
Ye Mo admired him very much. At least if he made his own weapons, he would never be able to reach the level of Ah Li.
The second dark iron sword refined by Ah Li has fully met the standards and has become a qualified first-level dark iron spiritual sword. The defective rate is very low, with only two or three out of ten swords being defective.
A few days passed, and Ye Mo's inventory of black iron swords in the ancient paintings gradually increased.
"Ali, when can I refine the second-level black iron sword?"
"The difficulty of refining the second-level dark iron sword is much higher than that of the first-level sword! The yield rate of my first-level dark iron sword is about 80%. If I refine the second-level dark iron sword now, the yield rate will only be about 20 to 30%.
A lot of re-melting will only waste time!"
Ah Li scratched his head in annoyance and said, "When I become more proficient in weapon refining, I will soon be able to use the second-level spiritual sword. Master, please wait for now!"
Ali Feng was busy refining weapons.
After Ye Mo learned about it, he stopped bothering him. The skill of refining weapons takes a long time to improve.
He brought one or two dark iron spiritual swords and set up a stall at the night market in Donglaixian Village to sell them and earn spiritual stones for use in cultivation.
Compared to the Five Elements Spirit Sword with Five Elements attributes, Ye Mo's Black Iron Spirit Sword is naturally a very low-end spiritual weapon.
But no matter how low-end it is, as long as the price is low enough, it will attract the attention of other poor monks. The price of the first-order Five Elements Spirit Sword on the market is one hundred spirit stones, and the price of the first-order Dark Iron Spirit Sword is twelve or thirteen spirit stones.
Every day after dark, Ye Mo sells black iron swords sporadically at the night market in Xiancun for the price of ten spirit stones, to casual cultivators who are short of money but need spirit swords.
When the buyer asked about the origin of the spirit sword, Ye Mo claimed that it was a few pieces of loose cargo brought by a friend on a sea ship, just to make a little money.
This kind of small-scale reselling on street stalls is normal in various fairy villages in the East China Sea. There are even some low-level monks who specialize in business and resell goods in various fairy villages, buying low and selling high to earn the difference. As long as they are not particularly sensitive
The goods will not attract attention.
Ye Mo's business is basically a no-cost transaction, it can be said to be zero cost.
After spending more than ten days setting up a street stall, Ye Mo finally accumulated more than a hundred spirit stones. He estimated that this amount of spirit stones should be enough to buy a slightly better book of immortal cultivation techniques.
Ye Mo had gone to the store to see that the most rubbish technique required more than ten spirit stones, while the slightly better techniques all started at a hundred spirit stones.
That night, Ye Mo took more than a hundred spiritual stones he had earned and hurried to a shop in Donglaixian Village that sold various secrets.
How can one talk about cultivating immortality without the secrets of Kung Fu?!
Ye Mo was so poor that he couldn't afford the secret book, and his cultivation level had been stuck at the level of Qi training that he had just broken through to the soul, without making any progress.
Now that I have spiritual stones on hand, of course I must quickly buy the secret book of cultivating immortals. If you delay for one day, you will delay your cultivation.
This secret shop is not that big.
When Ye Mo went in, there were several monks shopping.
"Fellow Taoist, what do you need? Our store has all kinds of cultivation techniques, runes and seals. It is the best store in the fairy village."
A martial artist in his twenties quickly ran over to ask enthusiastically.
Ye Mo rolled his eyes after hearing this. There are only two or three secret shops in Donglaixian Village. This one is the biggest in the village, so it is naturally the best.
"I want to buy a practice method!"
Ye Mo glanced at the container and saw the classification of exercises.
"Which series of secrets does the Immortal Master need?"
the guy asked.
"Which series?...I really don't know this."
Ye Mo was stunned.
He had read in ancient books that monks had different spiritual root systems, but he did not know his own spiritual root.
"Ah, Master Immortal has just started practicing? It's best to ask the shopkeeper to check your spiritual roots for you first!"
The guy reacted immediately, said with a smile, and led Ye Mo inside.
"Shopkeeper, this newly promoted Immortal Master wants to buy some training techniques."
The waiter led Ye Mo to an old man in his sixties and said respectfully.
The old shopkeeper was sitting behind the counter, holding a shabby ancient book. He was fascinated by the book. Hearing the waiter's voice, he slowly put the book down and looked at Ye Mo carefully.
“Fellow Taoist, you don’t know which series of cultivation techniques to buy?”
The old shopkeeper took a sip of tea and asked calmly.
"I have just become a monk and don't understand much. Could you please introduce me to me, fellow Taoist?"
Ye Mo shook his head and said. He doesn't know what exercises to buy. He is just a pure newcomer.
"In this case, I will tell you that there are nine categories of immortal cultivation techniques according to the spiritual root attributes. The spiritual root attributes can be divided into metal, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, and darkness. This is
The big five elements, the small three, odd ones and one dark one.
Each attribute corresponds to a type of skill, among which the eight series are the skills of the human monks. The dark series are the skills of the ghost clan, so I will not mention them here.
Of course, there are also immortal cultivation techniques that have no attribute requirements and can be practiced by anyone.
Fellow Taoists must know about spiritual roots. When choosing exercises, you must first know the attributes of your own spiritual roots. Otherwise, if you choose a fire attribute exercise but your fire spiritual roots are very low, even if you can practice it, your speed will be strange.
If it is extremely slow, then the gain outweighs the loss.
Fellow Taoist, have you ever tested your own spiritual root attributes before?"
The old shopkeeper stroked his beard and said calmly.
"No!"
Ye Mo shook his head.
Regarding the theory of spiritual roots, he had read it in "Biography of Immortal Cultivators".
The only thing he was sure of was that he had water-attribute spiritual roots because he could practice and use water archery.
"Then I will help you test your spiritual roots first. As long as you Taoist friends purchase the exercises in our store, I will test your spiritual roots for free, without charge."
The old shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Okay, then please trouble me, Brother Dao, and help me test it!"
Ye Mo nodded. Regardless of whether he wanted to spend the spirit stone or not, he had to test it, otherwise he would be in the dark and would not know what his situation was.
Ye Mo followed the old shopkeeper to a small cubicle at the back of the store.
The old shopkeeper took out a purple-black stone with a faint golden light.
"This is the magic stone for measuring spiritual roots. If you hold it tightly and pour magic power into it, you can see the condition of your spiritual roots."
The old shopkeeper handed the Dharma Stone into Ye Mo's hand and said.
Ye Mo took it nervously, took a deep breath, and then began to concentrate on injecting mana.
After injecting mana, this magic stone quickly emitted eight colors of light, which was very brilliant and dazzling.
"Eight~, eight colors?"
The old shopkeeper was obviously stunned for a moment.
He sighed slightly, shook his head slightly, and looked at Ye Mo with a bit of pity.
"Fellow Taoist, you have eight spiritual roots, five elements, five elements and three minor wonders. Such complete spiritual roots are quite rare in the world of immortality!
Of course, the more spiritual roots there are, each spiritual root will naturally not be too strong. From the perspective of gloss intensity, each type is about ten to fifteen points. The total spiritual root potential points are very high, but they are too scattered.
What a pity!"
The old shopkeeper clicked his tongue in surprise.
Ye Mo's face turned a little ugly.
He knew exactly what this meant.
The more spiritual roots a monk has, the better, but the purer it is, the easier it is to cultivate. The better a certain spiritual root is, the brighter the corresponding color will be when tested.
His eight spiritual roots are basically the same and can be described as mediocre.
Ye Mo felt deeply powerless. The spiritual root was brought from the mother's womb and could not be changed by the day after tomorrow.
No matter what, just be mediocre!
I was originally a common warrior, but now that I have cultivated my soul and become an immortal cultivator, I have to go all out.
No matter how mediocre your qualifications are, you still need to practice and improve.
I also have ancient paintings. With the help of ancient paintings, I will definitely be no worse than other monks with high talents.
After a brief moment of disappointment, Ye Mo cheered himself up in his heart and secretly clenched his fists.
