MTL - God Rewards Those Who Work Hard: No Pains, 100% Gains-Chapter 93 Proof

  Chapter 93 The Proof of the Way

  Refining, there are so many things to learn.

   At the very least, the first thing to learn is to identify various minerals and identify various refining materials.

  A large proportion of the refining books copied by Xu Ke in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion are all kinds of minerals and materials, how to identify them, and how to deal with them.

   Fortunately, these contents only need to be memorized.

   Even so, it took Xu Ke two days to finish reading the knowledge of identifying and handling refining materials.

  In order to deepen his memory, Xu Ke even spent a hundredfold harvest, keeping this knowledge firmly in his heart, and thoroughly understanding and mastering it.

   After finishing the basic knowledge, Xu Ke began to learn how to refine weapons.

  Refining is different from the "forging iron" that Xu Ke originally imagined. The method of refining by fire is only one of the methods of refining, and of course it is the most common one. There are many other methods of refining.

  Most artifacts in the five elements category can be refined using the five elements method.

  Some special utensils have special refining techniques. Some need to be tempered with thunder, some need to be tempered with cold air, all kinds of things.

   There are even some magical artifacts, the refining method is even more weird, the embryos are implanted into the human body, and the artifacts are directly refined with human life.

  Among the classics transcribed by Xu Ke, they mainly talk about the method of fire refining, and other various methods of refining weapons. They just mentioned that there is such a thing, and there are no specific details.

  The method of fire refining is relatively universal, and it is enough for the time being.

  Xu Ke picked up the copied Art of Refining Artifacts and began to read. There is not much content, Xu Ke read it quickly.

  After reading it, Xu Ke was a little speechless.

   It's still the same old way!

  In addition to the basic fire control method, quenching method, and tempering method, the Artifact Refining Art written by the Artifact Refining Palace only lists several methods of refining magical artifacts.

  For example, the magic weapon long sword, such as the communication talisman, and the five magic weapons belonging to the five elements. The refining method of each magic weapon is described in detail and very specific.

  As long as you follow the same pattern and continue to persevere after countless failures, after you waste countless materials, you will definitely be able to learn how to refine weapons.

  But... there is absolutely no theoretical knowledge of refining weapons.

   It just tells you that you must do this, but it doesn’t explain why you should do it like this at all, and it doesn’t explain the reason at all, let alone any “principle”.

   Isn’t this the same as learning how to draw characters?

  It just tells you that you must draw like this, and you can just follow the drawing, and doesn't tell you why you have to draw like this at all.

   This is entirely a method of cultivating craftsmen, not a method of cultivating craftsmen.

   For Zongmen, it really only needs you to be able to operate, not to understand the principles. However, for Xu Ke, it is not enough to just know how to operate.

  Since no one teaches the principle, you can only study it yourself.

  Xu Ke sighed, fortunately he learned Taoism and spells, otherwise, he didn't know how to do these refining techniques.

   Reaching out his hand to take out a communication talisman, Xu Ke compared the refining method of the communication talisman in the method of refining the weapon, and began to analyze the reason.

   Communication Talisman, this is the simplest entry-level refiner.

  Xu Ke has already mastered the drawing method of the communication spell, and even deciphered the communication technique from it, and has mastered it very deeply.

  Take the communication talisman as the starting point, compare the spells, spells and communication talisman, and you can conclude the similar principles from them.

   After some comparison, Xu Ke found that there is almost no difference in the essence between the communication talisman and the communication charm.

  The only difference is that the Communication Charm can only be used once, and the Communication Talisman can be used repeatedly.

  Essentially, a communication talisman is to carve a rune structure on a piece of jade, and then fill it with spiritual materials to transmit spiritual power. It is no different from Xu Ke's previous arrangement of rune arrays in Kunwuyuan.

  So... Refining tools, drawing talismans, and forming formations are essentially the same?

   Formation is to draw symbols on the ground, and refining equipment is to draw symbols on various refining materials.

  Xu Ke took out the magic weapon and long sword again, compared it with the refining method described in Art of Refining, and got the same answer.

  The long sword, the magic weapon, is actually using mysterious crystal wire in the metal material to construct runes one by one to achieve various rune effects.

  Such as solid, such as sharp, such as floating... Several different rune structures, combined together, is a magic weapon sword.

  Of course, there are still some differences from the talisman. There is an additional energy storage structure for storing spiritual power in the magic weapon.

  How much spiritual power this energy storage structure can store is the standard for judging the grade of a magic weapon.

  It can only store the spiritual power of the third level of Qi training at most, which is a low-level magic weapon.

   It can store up to six levels of spiritual power, which is an intermediate magic weapon.

  By analogy, a magic weapon that can store 12 levels of spiritual power for training Qi is the so-called top-quality magic weapon.

That's it?

   Artifact refining, that's it?

  Xu Ke shook his head. There is absolutely no technical content in the refining technique during the Qi training period!

  If you want to refine the "demonstration tool", this kind of unskilled refining technique alone can't solve the problem at all.

  What Xu Ke needs is the kind of refining technique that can lay down the "spiritual ban" and refine spiritual weapons, not the basic refining technique that draws symbols on refining materials.

  Looks like it needs the help of Junior Sister Li Muzi again.

  Xu Ke took out the summoning talisman and summoned Li Muzi.

   "Brother Xu?"

  Li Muzi yawned, "It's so late, you have something urgent to do with me?"

so late…

  Xu Ke was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw that it was dark outside.

   Well, research has been around the clock.

  Xu Ke smiled, "I'm sorry, I forgot to check the time for a while. I'm bothering Junior Sister Li."

   "Okay, okay, talk about something, I have to catch up on sleep!"

  Li Muzi was yawning again.

   "Junior Sister Li, can you obtain the art of refining the foundation-building spiritual weapon?"

  Xu Ke didn't delay, and directly stated his purpose.

   "Refining foundation building spirit weapon?"

  Li Muzi was stunned for a moment, "You want to refine weapons again? It is said that you can also make wine, and now you want to refine weapons, Senior Brother Xu, how much do you have to learn!"

   "Hey, learn to play, learn to play!"

  Xu Ke casually said, "I also ask Junior Sister Li for help."

"Fine!"

  Li Muzi didn't say much, "Tomorrow, I'll go to the Formation Hall to ask for a book on the refining technique of foundation-building spiritual weapons."

  For true disciples, this kind of knowledge of refining tools can be obtained casually.

   It's like Xu Ke, as an inner disciple, can enter the Sutra Pavilion at will to read all the classics during the Qi training period.

   "Then thank you, Junior Sister Li! Don't disturb Junior Sister Li's rest."

  Xu Ke thanked him and hung up the call.

  The refining method of the foundation building spirit weapon has been completed.

  Xu Ke smiled, got up and went back to his room, to sleep.

—

  The next morning, a flash of sword light roared over.

  Because the sword light carried Li Muzi's spiritual power, the magic circle of Bishuitan did not block it, and the flying sword passed through the magic circle and landed at the gate of Xu Ke's Kunwu courtyard.

  See also Feijian Biography.

  Xu Ke stretched out his hand and waved, a burst of spiritual power shot out, the flying sword floating in front of him flickered, and a scroll of jade slips fell into Xu Ke's hands.

   "This is the foundation-building spiritual weapon refining technique you want. Just read it yourself, don't spread it! This is the sect's inheritance, and it would be considered illegal for me to give it to you!"

  Li Muzi's voice came from the flying sword.

"clear!"

  Xu Ke nodded, and cupped his hands towards Feijian, "Thank you, Junior Sister Li."

"You're welcome!"

  Li Muzi grinned, "Long-distance Yujian, even with the help of master's battleship to amplify the spiritual consciousness, I'm not very proficient in operating it, so I can't stay for long, let's go!"

   "OK, walk slowly."

  Xu Ke handed him off again.

  The next moment, the flying sword was shaken, pierced through the air, and went straight to the sky.

  Xu Ke picked up the jade slips, returned to Kunwu Courtyard, and sat in the study.

   Released a strand of spiritual consciousness and probed into the jade slip. Xu Ke saw... It only introduced a refining method of the foundation-building spiritual weapon in detail.

   Is it still the old routine? It is still teaching skills without teaching the Dharma, and teaching the Dharma without preaching the Tao.

  Xu Ke smiled and didn't care, as long as there is a method of refining the spiritual weapon as a reference, it is enough.

  The Jade Slips introduced a spirit weapon refining technique called "Golden Crow Talisman".

   This "Golden Crow Amulet" is similar to the amulet issued to Xu Ke by the sect when he was promoted to the inner sect.

   It’s just that Xu Ke’s Golden Crow Amulet is a one-time amulet of the Golden Core level, and the Golden Crow Amulet introduced here is a foundation-building spiritual tool that can be used repeatedly.

  Aside from those methods of material handling, controlled fire, quenching and tempering, what Xu Ke saw was the essence.

  It was exactly as Xu Ke had expected at the beginning. The key to the refining technique of the Golden Crow Talisman is to lay a "spiritual ban" in the embryo.

  The way of laying down the spirit ban is not fundamentally different from the way Xu Ke put down the rune circle on the monkey and the purple skylark.

   Sure enough, the previous deduction was correct. The method of refining the foundation-building spiritual weapon is to lay down the "spiritual ban".

  After understanding the essence, those details are not important.

  Xu Ke put away the jade slips, stepped out of the study, walked all the way through the backyard, and came to the cave in the mountains.

   Walking into the reserved refining room in the cave, Xu Ke sat cross-legged on the futon.

  According to the Jade Slips, to refine the foundation-building spiritual weapon, materials with the same attribute as the "spiritual taboo" must be used.

   To verify his own practice, Xu Ke must use materials containing twelve spiritual power attributes to refine the required "demonstration tool".

  Other materials are easy to talk about, but space-time attributes are not so easy to handle.

  Hmmm...spatial properties work too.

  The storage bag, as well as the jade gourd, must all contain space attributes, otherwise the space magic weapon cannot be refined.

  Materials with time attributes... I don’t know if Gao Zhengzheng can buy them.

   If he can't buy it, then he will have to trouble Junior Sister Li Muzi again.

  Since there is still a lack of materials, let's use ordinary five-element attribute materials to refine a five-element spiritual weapon, anyway, it needs to practice craftsmanship.

  So, Xu Ke took out some five-element attribute spiritual materials from the storage bag.

   These are all the materials that Gao Zhengzhi bought back to set up the array of Kunwu Academy, and there are still some unused.

  One piece of copper, one piece of gold, one piece of earth stone, one piece of pyrolite, and one piece of wood core.

  These materials are only materials for the Qi training period. If you want to use the materials in the Qi training period to refine the foundation-building spiritual weapon, I'm afraid...the possibility of success is not very high.

   Anyway, it's just practice, it doesn't matter!

  Arrange the five pieces of materials according to the five elements.

  Xu Ke stretched out his hand and mobilized the spiritual power of the five-element formation, using that piece of copper as the embryo to smelt other materials.

  The five elements are transformed, and the spiritual power flows.

  With the flow of spiritual power, the other four materials quickly decomposed and merged into the copper.

  The originally metallic copper embryo body immediately became complete with five elements and balanced aura attributes.

  Under the refinement of the spiritual power of the five elements, other impurities in the copper are also purified and removed, leaving only the pure attributes of the five elements.

  Material handling is done.

   In the next step, Xu Ke drives the firepower to smelt the Yuan copper and shape the Yuan copper embryo.

  Under Xu Ke's control, the molten copper gradually condensed into a hub-like thing with five blades growing out.

   This is the five-element wheel!

  From the center of the middle circle, five supporting ribs extend to connect the outer rim, and a half-foot sharp edge protrudes from the rim.

  The five-element wheel is played, and when it rotates rapidly, the five sharp blades cut out the five-element sword energy, and rotate rapidly to cut.

  Such a rotary cutting, the power should not be bad, right?

   Forget it, it’s just practice anyway, let’s get it done first.

   After condensing the embryo, Xu Ke stopped the five-element formation, drove his own spiritual power, differentiated the five elements, and condensed the rune ring structure in the embryo.

   Just like condensing the rune ring in the monkey body, Xu Ke used his own spiritual power to construct the five-element rune structure in the embryo, laying down a "spiritual ban".

  Of course, this is just a prototype, far from the real "spiritual ban".

  What's wrong? Of course it's a lack of spiritual power!

  With the formation of five elements, the problem of spiritual power can be easily solved.

  So, Xu Ke picked up the artifact, walked out of the refining room, and came to the altar of the cave.

   With a wave of his hand, the embryo floated in mid-air.

   Xu Ke stood on the altar, activated the five-element formation, circulated spiritual power, and passed it into the embryo.

   At the same time, Xu Ke drove his own spiritual power to operate the "spiritual prohibition" in the embryo, constantly absorbing the majestic spiritual power from the refining formation.

  With the continuous absorption of spiritual power, the spiritual prohibition in the embryo gradually stabilized.

   It’s okay, it’s not fried!

  Even with Xu Ke's strength, under the precise calculation of Dayan's divine calculation, under the precise judgment of spiritual power by the Wang Qi technique, and under the control of Xu Ke's powerful spiritual power, he still operates cautiously.

  The operation of the spirit ban is fairly stable, and the whole operation process is relatively smooth.

  Of course, this is not the completion of the refiner.

Right now, the "spiritual ban" is only stabilized, um... Actually it's not considered a "spiritual ban", it can only be regarded as a preliminary condensed rune structure, and it will take a long time to accumulate spiritual power before it can be transformed into a "spiritual ban", Become a spirit weapon.

  For this five-element wheel, the possibility of refining failure is even greater.

  Even if it is cultivated with spiritual power, it may not be transformed into a "spiritual ban", after all, the material is too poor.

  A spiritual weapon already has a powerful power comparable to that of a foundation, but it is not so simple to practice.

   According to the legend, there is a master who practiced weapons for decades, or even hundreds of years!

   It is certainly not an exaggeration that it takes decades to refine a foundation-building spiritual weapon, but even if there is a large formation to provide sufficient spiritual power, it must be refined for at least ten days, right?

   It can only be cultivated slowly in this way first, if the spiritual power is instilled a little more, it might explode.

  Xu Ke activated the large formation, added a layer of protection around it, and left the five-element wheel on the altar.

   It was the first time I tried refining a weapon, and the process went smoothly. As for the result... it's just practice, the result is not important.

  God rewards hard work, add points!

   "Artifact Refining: Magical Artifacts (Consummation), Spiritual Artifacts (Mastery)."

  Practice the Four Arts, Dan Talisman Array, and the principles are all interlinked.

  With the foundation of spells and formations, it will be easy to learn how to refine weapons.

  One hundred times the harvest, the magic weapon refining level is directly at full level, and the spiritual weapon refining is also proficient.

  The next step is to find Gao Zhengzheng to buy foundation-level refining materials, and prepare to formally refine the foundation-building spiritual weapon and the enlightenment weapon.
