Under One Person: I am alone, reviving the Tang Sect

Chapter 159: Locusts
I have only been exposed to refining for about ten days, and I also went out to play for a few days. If I were to count the time I actually spent in the refining room, I could easily count it on one hand.

In such a short time, the outer appearance of Guanyuan has been pieced together. If this guy is not eliminated, he will surely become a great man!
Zhang Wang liked it more and more no matter how he looked at it, as if it were a piece of jade.

I wish I could just hold Feng Qin and sleep tonight.

"What is the life weapon?"

Feng Qin was frightened by his slightly perverted look. He took two steps back and asked with a stuttering voice.

It is clear that the weapon master has his own natal weapon, but I never thought that the weapon refiner also has his own natal magic weapon.

"Refining a weapon is actually the same as practicing martial arts. There are many changes but the essence remains the same. Many techniques and skills are interchangeable. In addition, human energy is limited, so we refiners often need to choose a life-long magic weapon."

Zhang Wang casually held Guanyuan and said:
"Guanyuan is the life-saving magic weapon of one of our Tang Sect's weapon refiners. Because he devoted himself to research, he was able to pass down this masterpiece."

"With Guanyuan as the center, he continued to study hard, which was the key to improving his weapon-making skills. He could easily make weapons for self-defense."

"And if you don't have a specialized magical weapon, you will most likely get stuck at a bottleneck and be unable to move forward for a long time."

This is the experience passed down from generation to generation, and the result is obtained after all weapon refiners have tried it.

Magical instruments are often interchangeable, and there are also similarities between magical instruments of the same level.

At the same time, because each person specializes in different instruments, the resulting styles are also different.

The magical instruments refined by [Han Dan'er] are mostly toy-like, such as slippers, water guns, etc. This is his style after special research.

Feng Qin sorted out the principle behind it and understood what Zhang Wang meant by this sentence.

I am about to truly step into the realm of weapon refining.

"Master, which one do you think I should choose?"

It would certainly be more convenient to choose by myself, but now I have seen too few ordinary refining techniques, and there is the shock that Ma Xianhong gave me before. It is very difficult to continue to choose a satisfactory magic weapon from the refining techniques.

This is why the Eight Great Techniques are said to be heaven-defying techniques.

Just after hearing the overbearing name of Shen Ji Bai Lian, one's interest in the art of refining equipment would be reduced by half.

This is also the reason why Zhuge Qing’s mentality changed so much after he learned about Fenghou Qimen.

He is a rare genius in the Wuhou sect in a century. He is proficient in the four plates of Nine Stars, Eight Trigrams, Eight Gates and Eight Deceitful Gods.

But in front of Fenghou Qimen, he was like a newborn baby and was still at the mercy of him.

But Feng Qin felt that something was wrong. It was not Feng Hou Qimen who was wrong, nor was it Zhuge Qing who was wrong.

The two are contradictory, which is wrong.

Why should the weapon refining technique and the divine machine refining technique be in conflict? One of them has been passed down for thousands of years and is a righteous technique that conforms to the laws of nature, while the latter is a fantastic idea of ​​later generations. Although it goes against the will of heaven, they are of the same origin.

So Feng Qin thought, he should learn both, and try to use the [life] gained from practicing the weapon refining technique to match the [art] of the Divine Machine Hundred Refining Technique.

The more he thought about it, the less likely Feng Qin would simply compare the weapon refining technique with the Divine Machine Hundred Refining Technique.

Zhang Wang had no idea what kind of psychological preparation his beloved disciple in front of him was going through, but his eyes became determined for some unknown reason.

"Well, if I recommend someone, it might be very difficult because I have high hopes for you. Are you sure you want me to choose?"

The natal magic weapon of weapon refining is related to the future of a weapon refiner. Oftentimes, one can tell a person's upper limit just by looking at the magic weapon he chooses.

The simpler the magic weapon, the faster you can get started and the greater your progress. You may be able to get ahead of most weapon refiners in just two years.

But the disadvantage is also very obvious, that is, the bottleneck is very low, as long as it may take five or six years, or even a lifetime, it may not be possible to break through this upper limit. The difficulty of the magic weapon is the opposite, it is very slow to get started and progress, but the upper limit is very high, and it may not even touch the bottleneck of the upper limit in a lifetime.

However, the more difficult the better is not necessarily the case. If the task exceeds one's natural talent, not only will one's progress be extremely slow, causing one to remain in the same place for more than a decade. It will also suppress one's confidence, shake one's foundation, and cause a genius to fall into mediocrity.

So when faced with this matter, Zhang Wang did not dare to be careless and repeatedly asked Feng Qin whether he should make the choice.

Feng Qin’s answers were always firm and the reasons were very simple.

"I haven't come across many magical instruments of different styles. Since Master thinks I have talent, then Master should choose the one. If it's really too difficult, I'm not the type to get stuck in a rut. It won't be that difficult to just change to a magical instrument that I'm destined to use in the early stages."

Changing one is equivalent to starting over, and the sunk cost is huge. But when Zhang Wang saw that his beloved disciple said it so easily, he also understood that he should not speak like an old man in a fussy way.

He then led Feng Qin to the wall filled with magical instruments and said:
"Actually, if you were to choose, I would expect you to choose [Black-tailed Armor] or [Faceted], but you asked me to choose..."

As he spoke, he paused at a small red bug in a glass box, and after pondering for a long time, he said:
"I hope you can choose [Locust]."

Locusts...

Feng Qin followed Zhang Wang's gaze and saw that they were small bugs that looked like red dust. If you didn't look closely, they would just look like a pile of loose sand and you might not even be able to recognize them as bugs.

They are very small, like newborn locusts, but their color is blood red.

"This... is a magical weapon?"

Feng Qin's mind was a little confused. Before his weapon refining skills reached level 4, he had seen the locust once. At that time, he didn't feel anything wrong and even gained some experience.

But when I reached level 4, I found it hard to understand and couldn’t even figure out the mystery.

It’s like watching a divine machine being refined.

The only difference is that the experience value on the panel is jumping.

This means that it is still within the scope of weapon refining techniques.

However, with Feng Qin’s current strength, he is unable to fully study it for the time being.

"Yes, this is the only magical weapon that has not been 'inherited' throughout the Tang Sect's history."

Feng Qin looked at this magical weapon with some disbelief.

"His refining methods and details have all been preserved. However, with my level, I can't perfectly replicate this magic weapon. At most, I can only imitate its shape."

Zhang Wang generously admitted that he lacked talent, then took out a two-millimeter-sized red locust, put it in a square box, and handed it to Feng Qin.

"Remember not to open the box casually, and don't use the Qi flame to drive it. Otherwise, once it is activated, anyone who touches it will die."

This was the most serious speech Zhang Wang had ever made. When Feng Qin took the box, he could feel the chill coming from the box.

Once it pierces the body, it means death.

Based on this point alone, Feng Qin dared not be negligent.

"You can continue to study Guanyuan, or you can look at all the magic weapons in this refining room, but you must remember that all of this is done for the locust in your hand."

"The most important thing--"

"Don't dismantle the magic weapon!"
