The formation pattern is realized, the formation seal is condensed, the inscription pattern is produced, and the weapon is refined.
This is a one-sentence summary of this weapon-refining inheritance by the person who left the rubbing method inheritance.
To put it simply, the core of the rubbing method lies in the "formation seal".
The weapon refiner needs to be familiar with the complete formation pattern, and then solidify it in his own spiritual sea to form a real formation pattern composed of spiritual power, which is the "formation seal".
When inscribing, you only need to follow the secret method in the inheritance to map the real formation seal in the spiritual sea onto the weapon that needs the inscription in reality to form a virtual formation seal.
Then, relying on the connection between the virtual and real formation seals, the mental power controls the heart of the carving knife to follow the seals, and the re-engraving can be completed on the refined weapon.
The entire operation only took a few sentences, but Wei Ci knew that it was not that simple to actually operate it.
What's more, the first sentence at the beginning of the rubbing method shuts out most people: those who inherit the rubbing method are not as good as those who are not mentally stronger than ordinary people.
This confirmed Wei Ci's previous guess that weapon refining indeed requires talent.
The so-called talent is mainly reflected in mental strength. Only practitioners with strong mental strength can make a difference in the process of refining weapons, while those with weak mental strength may not even be able to sustain a weapon refining to the end.
Secondly, there is the understanding of the weapon refining itself, especially the step of inscription or soul sealing. If you rigidly copy the predecessors, it will never be successful.
Needless to say, Wei Ci's mental strength was many times stronger than those of practitioners at the same level. Therefore, he had both confidence and faith in refining weapons.
Having made up his mind, he returned to the sea of consciousness and began to practice.
Among all formation patterns, the simplest ones are effects such as frost, scorching heat, acceleration, gravity, etc.
Wei Ci selected the frost pattern, and then began to try rubbings in the spiritual sea.
The lines of the frost effect pattern are quite strange, dense in the middle and sparse around them. It is slightly similar to the six-pointed star pattern of snowflakes, but more like radial cracks on the ice.
Wei Ci selected a starting point based on intuition and began to outline it mentally.
With the stimulation of spiritual power, the thick golden mist slowly condenses into the beginning of the formation lines in the spiritual sea, and then changes to the complete pattern.
Since formation patterns are closely related to the rules of heaven and earth, each formation pattern is a complete and flawless closed pattern without beginning or tail. This outline gave him a sense of déjà vu as if he were playing a one-stroke game in his previous life, but the difficulty was different.
Suddenly, his mental power fluctuated.
laugh……
A sound that only Wei Ci could hear rang out from the spiritual sea, and the frost pattern that outlined less than one-tenth of it dissipated without warning.
The first attempt failed.
Come again!
Wei Ci sketched it again, and this time it went smoothly. Since his entire mind was on the formation pattern and he was not distracted, the first half of the formation lines were quickly and smoothly sketched out in rudimentary form.
However, when the second half of the formation lines condensed into a small section, he got stuck.
The outline of the frost pattern becomes more complicated as you go to the back, because the lines converge from the four sides to the middle. I tried hard to memorize it in a hurry, but some of the details were a little blurry after all.
laugh……
The second attempt failed again.
Come again!
He still didn't believe it. If he couldn't master a small formation pattern, how could he become an inscription weapon refiner?
Reopening the page with the frost runes in the jade slip, Wei Ci wrote down the overall appearance of the frost pattern from point to surface, then selected a starting point and went through the whole process in reverse order several times.
It wasn't until he could picture the frost formations in his mind that he started to make rubbings again.
With the experience of Fang Cai, the sketching process was a little easier this time. Most of the formation patterns were quickly formed. Wei Ci concentrated his mind and the complete picture of the formation pattern emerged in his mind.
