Chapter 91 Refining Treasures
Zhang Wei raised his head slightly, stared at the tall woman, and asked, "May I ask if this is the Fairy Qun Yao who killed Yi Ming's young son?"

"Exactly."

Qun Yao said coldly: "I heard from Daoist Gu that Daoist Zhang has superb skills in refining tools, so I came here to ask Daoist Gu to help me refine a magic weapon."

Zhang Wei subconsciously refused, "Fairy Qunyao, you are embarrassing me. No one in Yulong Mountain can refine it, let alone a rural cultivator like me."

Before Qun Yao could say anything, Gu Man beside her said, "Hey, Fellow Daoist Zhang, don't be so modest. You have refined a second-level intermediate-grade magic weapon, the Qingguang Divine Sword, in just half a year. I have never seen such a skill among those second-level upper-grade weapon refiners."

Zhang Wei laughed awkwardly, and felt like he was going to hit Gu Man's head to pieces in his heart.

Fellow Daoist Gu, I understand that you want to help the beauty, but could you please not put me on the spot?

Zhang Wei's weapon refining skills are indeed quite good. In the past, he could rely on his radar and spiritual sense to complete a magical weapon in just a few days, which would take other weapon refiners several months to complete.

Now that his spiritual consciousness has become divine, his weapon refining skills have naturally reached a higher level. After more than 20 years of training, Zhang Wei has become a quasi-third-level weapon refiner who can refine the embryo of a third-level magic weapon.

Zhang Wei even felt that once he broke through the late stage of foundation building, he would be able to truly start refining a true third-level magic weapon!

But this does not mean that Zhang Wei wants to work for others. He has ample funds now and does not need to make money by refining magic weapons for others.

Just when Zhang Wei was thinking about how to refuse this troublesome matter, Qun Yao said, "I heard that fellow Taoist has been seeking help from Master Zifu of Yulong Mountain recently. He should want to refine pills, right?
My grandmother is Master You Xin, she is very close to many alchemists in the sect, and can help you make contact with them."

The other party came prepared!
When Zhang Wei heard this, he swallowed back the words of refusal he was about to say and changed his words, "May I ask what kind of magic weapon Fellow Daoist You wants to refine?"

Qun Yao took out a jade slip and said, "Second-level top-grade magic weapon, Tiger Roaring in the Forest."

Zhang Wei was stunned. After taking the jade slip and examining it, his expression suddenly changed because he found that the effect of this magic weapon was very similar to the magic weapon he wanted to refine recently.

Zhang Wei asked, "May I ask, does Brother You have any tiger-type monster spirits or monster materials that you like?"

Qun Yao: "How about the Golden Beast?"

Zhang Wei asked in surprise, "Golden Beast? It must be the youngest son of Yiming, the Half-Step Golden Core Golden Beast, right? You want to refine it into a magic weapon?"

Qun Yao nodded and said, "This monster has a trace of the ancient monster Qiongqi's bloodline, and it is also a tiger monster. It can be used to refine the Tiger Roaring in the Forest Map! And its power is definitely stronger than the ordinary Tiger Roaring in the Forest Map."

Zhang Wei just felt like he had taken on a hot potato.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Fairy Qunyao, you really think highly of me. For a magic weapon of this level, why don't you go directly to the Jade Dragon Sect's weapon refiner? With your status, you should be able to ask Master Zifu to refine a weapon for you, right?"

Qun Yao paused. In fact, she didn't want to look for Zhang Wei at first. Although she heard from Gu Man that Zhang Wei's weapon refining skills were superb, she didn't think he was much better than the weapon refining geniuses in the sect.

The reason why Qun Yao found Zhang Wei was that she had no choice.

In the battle with Yi Ming's youngest son, she was seriously injured and could only exert less than 50% of her strength. She urgently needed a magic weapon like the Tiger Roaring in the Mountains to protect herself so that she could continue to compete for the position of Daozi.

But her competitors for the position of Daozi would not sit idly by and watch her threaten them, so they placed orders in advance and recruited all the suitable weapon refiners in the sect. It was unknown how long her orders would have to wait in the queue.

As for asking Master Zifu for help... she and the descendants of the weapon refiner's lineage are also competitors, so naturally they can't help her.

So Qun Yao had to seek external help, and then she found Zhang Wei through Gu Man's introduction.

"That's all I can say."

Qun Yao said coldly, and seeing Zhang Wei's hesitation, she raised the price and said, "But if you can agree to help me refine it, I will ask Master Zifu for the third-level elixir for you, regardless of success or failure.

If the refining is successful, I can take the initiative to invite a third-level talisman master to refine a third-level talisman for you as a reward. I will pay for the cost of refining the talisman!"

For a moment, Zhang Wei was very moved!
How can I refuse?
"Done!"

Zhang Wei gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Since Fellow Daoist You has offered such generous conditions, it would be ungrateful if I, Zhang Xiaofan, did not agree. I'll take this job!"

Qun Yao was about to say something, but she frowned and coughed twice, as if she had not fully recovered from her initial injury. After a while, she said, "I will arrange two late foundation-building tiger monster bodies for you to practice with. I hope that you will not disappoint me."

Zhang Wei said: "I will definitely live up to your mission!"

After seeing off Qun Yao, Gu Man came up again, patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Fan, how is this job that my brother introduced to you? I thought of you when I had something good to do."

Zhang Wei rolled his eyes and said, "Thank you so much. I just got out of quarantine and you gave me such a big surprise."

Gu Man laughed, not caring about the sarcasm in Zhang Wei's words, and smiled instead: "Fairy Qun Yao's injuries are quite serious, which is not conducive to her fight for the position of Daozi. As long as you handle this matter well, even if Fairy Qun Yao fails in the fight for Daozi in the future, you can still gain the friendship of a future Master of Purple Mansion.

The friendship of a Purple Mansion Master from a large sect is extremely precious to independent cultivators like us. It can save our lives at a critical moment."

Zhang Wei was a little uncomfortable with Gu Man's sudden change of mood. He looked at her eyes that contained vicissitudes of life and said, "How do you feel, Brother Gu..."

Gu Man smiled tearfully and said casually: "Hey... I'm injured."

Zhang Wei: “Ah?”

Gu Man sighed and explained, "In the past six months, the Jiexian Mountains have been unstable, and I make money by hunting monsters. A few months ago, I ventured through Liangjie Mountain and wanted to hunt a monster in the early stage of foundation building to make up for this year's rent.

However, he was unlucky enough to meet a King Kong Bear in the middle stage of foundation building. The beast slapped him and broke four ribs. He managed to escape by luck.

After this battle, I suddenly remembered that I am already 160 years old this year. Although I still have 50 years to live according to the lifespan of the middle stage of foundation building, I know that the middle stage is my limit.

I was thinking of going back, marrying a few wives, having a few children, and earning some money for my retirement before leaving. It just so happened that Fairy Qunyao came to ask me if I knew any independent cultivators, so I recommended you to her. I hope you won't blame me for acting on my own initiative."

As she spoke, Gu Man nodded apologetically to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "No, on the contrary, I have to thank you for recommending such a good customer to me. It just solved my urgent need."

Gu Man clapped his hands and said with a smile: "See, I told you that you would like it. You have made such a large sum of money, why don't you treat me, your brother, to a drink?"

Zhang Wei sneered when he heard this and said, "Okay, let's go to Yuyanlou tonight. I'll treat you to the best Bingxin Yuhu there!"

"It's settled! Let's go now!"

……

After drinking and saying goodbye to Gu Man, Zhang Wei rested for two days. After the two tiger monsters in the late foundation building stage promised by Qun Yao were delivered, Zhang Wei immediately began to prepare.

After asking Cong Yun to guard the door for him again, Zhang Wei rushed into the quiet room.

Qun Yao's Tiger Roaring in the Mountains and Forests Picture is the same type of magic weapon as the Tiger-Transforming-Into-Ahken Seal that he originally wanted to make. Both of them summon a monster to assist in battle.

He originally wanted to refine a seal that could summon a tiger demon in the middle stage of foundation building, so he went to find the unlucky golden-browed tiger.

However, his seal of transforming a tiger into a lackey directly transforms the seal into the body of a tiger demon. Therefore, once the tiger demon is injured, the seal will also be damaged. Therefore, it has to be maintained after each use, which is rather troublesome.

The Tiger Roaring in the Forest Diagram that Qun Yao took out was more powerful than Zhang Wei's Tiger-Transforming-Into-Achieving Seal. It was used to seal the spirit of a tiger demon in the late or even peak foundation building stage to assist in battle.

Moreover, the tiger demon spirit will not be actually damaged after being defeated, but will return to the map to nourish and recover. Moreover, the magic weapon itself can be used as a shield to protect itself. It can be said that it has many functions.

This is definitely the best of the second-level top-grade magic weapons! The value of such a magic weapon is definitely several times that of the same-level magic weapon!
It was something that would not appear on the list of magic weapon recipes in the Yulong Treasure Pavilion, but Qun Yao took it out easily and let Zhang Wei try it.

Although the contents of this jade slip can only be learned and not passed on to others, the importance of her identity as the granddaughter of Master Zifu can be seen from it.

For a moment, Zhang Wei didn't even bother to refine the seal of transforming the tiger into a lackey, and directly practiced on the golden-browed tiger demon.

The scroll is made of tiger skin, the axis is made of tiger bones, the painting is made of tiger blood, and the idea is made of tiger soul.

These are the steps to refining the Tiger Roaring in the Mountains painting. The most difficult part of this magic weapon is not the scroll and axis on the surface, but the painting and its meaning.

The more majestic the tiger drawn with tiger blood is, the better, and the closer it is to the owner of the tiger blood, the better. If the final result is a sick cat, then the magic weapon will be useless, so this magic weapon is still a test of the refiner's painting skills.

But this was not difficult for Zhang Wei. When he was studying in the imperial academy, he also learned painting for a period of time in order to cultivate his sentiments.

Although we cannot say that we are all masters, we do have a foundation.

With the help of his divine consciousness, although Zhang Wei could not achieve the ultimate move, he had no problem copying the roar of the golden-browed tiger in his memory.

Then comes the most important point. This is to extract the tiger demon's spirit and seal it into the painting bit by bit using special means.

Even though the tiger monster is dead, its spirit core is still wild and untamable. It would be extremely difficult for an ordinary second-level refiner to use his spiritual consciousness to seal it into a painting. If he is not careful, he would be at risk of being injured by the tiger monster's ferocity.

But unfortunately, this is the simplest step for Zhang Wei, a weapon refiner who has already developed divine consciousness.

With just a glare and the burst of electromagnetic divine power, the spirit of the Golden Eyebrow Tiger instantly stopped struggling, and floated in the air with dull eyes.

If Zhang Wei hadn't deliberately controlled it, the spirit of this golden-browed tiger would have probably exploded.

Then, Zhang Wei used the soul-calling technique to guide the tiger demon's spirit and slowly merge it into the scroll. This stage was extremely time-consuming.

But under Zhang Wei's divine consciousness, it only took seven days to integrate all the essence of the golden-browed tiger demon into the magic weapon.

"Tiger Roaring in the Forest, Completed!"

Zhang Wei looked at the scroll and nodded with satisfaction. Although limited by the quality of the tiger monster, this magic weapon could only be considered a mid-level second-grade item, it was still much stronger than the seal that could transform a tiger into a lackey in the previous plan.

Then Zhang Wei looked at the two tiger monsters in the late foundation building stage and thought to himself, "I'll refine these two tiger monsters to increase my proficiency."

The Golden Beast is no trivial matter, especially since it is a different species of Golden Beast that possesses the bloodline of the ancient monster Qiongqi. The difficulty of refining it is definitely not comparable to that of the Golden Browed Tiger. One must be extremely cautious and careful.

The monster beasts in the late stage of foundation building have already begun to try to cultivate their spirits, so it is more difficult to deal with the monster beast essences at this level.

It took Zhang Wei four full months to refine two second-grade top-grade Tiger Roaring in the Mountains and Forests pictures.

After making sure that he was skilled enough, Zhang Wei took out the body of the Golden Biao Beast.

This golden beast is indeed a species with the blood of Qiongqi. As soon as it appeared, it brought an indescribable sense of deterrence to Zhang Wei.

With a cultivation base that is close to the peak of foundation building, coupled with the powerful physique of a monster beast, and a great monster father who is half a step away from the golden elixir realm, he must have all kinds of trump cards. It can be said that he surpasses Qun Yao in everything.

But even so, Jin Biao was still killed by Qun Yao, and even the incarnation of Yi Ming's divine consciousness used to protect his son was destroyed. This shows the strength and background of Qun Yao.

If Qun Yao is like this, what about the even more powerful sword cultivator Yu Xianlong?
Zhang Wei was somewhat excited, wishing that one day he could cultivate to the same level as them and then test the quality of these geniuses.

As usual, he took the bones and skinned it, and transformed it into the original form of Tiger Roaring in the Mountains.

Zhang Wei was already familiar with these two steps, but it still took him more than a month to get them right.

This made Zhang Wei sigh again that it was indeed an alien species of golden tiger beast. It was much more difficult to deal with than an ordinary tiger monster!
The next step was to paint with tiger blood. Zhang Wei had not seen many tiger-like monsters, and the most powerful one was the golden-browed tiger, so he could only use the golden-browed tiger as a reference to depict the golden-biao beast.

So Zhang Wei felt a little regretful. If he had seen with his own eyes what the Golden Biao Beast looked like when it was alive, he would definitely have performed better in this step.

Well, I hope that one day in the future, the father of this alien golden beast, the great demon Yiming, will not be angry when he sees his son being painted like this.

However, when he reached the last step and Tiger Soul was making his intention, Zhang Wei suddenly discovered something strange in the spirit of the Golden Tiger Beast.

There is a barely detectable mark in the spirit of the Golden Biao Beast. If it weren't for Zhang Wei's special electromagnetic power, it would probably not be discovered!

"This is... a divine mind mark!"

After realizing what this was, Zhang Wei instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

This is a mind mark that can only be cast by beings in the Purple Mansion Realm, and it is used to sense the specific location of the marked object.

If Qun Yao had been carrying the corpse of the Golden Biao beast with her, or had not cleaned it up properly when refining the magic weapon, then whenever Qun Yao went out to the Jiexian Mountains in the future, she would be killed by Yi Ming!
Zhang Wei sighed, "Good boy, luckily I found you, otherwise the next time you go out, you'll be dead."

As he spoke, Zhang Wei released his divine consciousness, and the electromagnetic divine consciousness burst directly crushed the divine consciousness mark.

At the same time, outside the Yulong Pass in the Jiexian Mountains, a deafening roar filled with anger suddenly came out, shocking the dense forest within a radius of hundreds of miles.

All the Yulong Zifu guarding Yulong Pass were surprised.

What's wrong with that golden beast again?

This time, it took Zhang Wei more than half a year before he finally integrated the essence of the Golden Tiger Beast into the Tiger Roaring in the Forest Map.

When the last ray of spirit entered the picture, the whole scroll seemed to come alive. A tangible sense of majesty surged out from the picture, and even the sound of tiger roars could be heard faintly in the air!

"Third-level magic weapon embryo?!"

Zhang Wei was surprised. He didn't expect that the quality of the Golden Biao Beast was so high. It could actually upgrade the highest second-grade magic weapon to the level of a third-grade magic weapon embryo!

Of course, this is also due to Zhang Wei's own weapon refining skills. If it were any other weapon refiner, they would probably only be able to produce a second-grade top-grade product.

For a moment, Zhang Wei was a little troubled.

Although the third-level magic weapon embryo is good, it is also a trouble.

Giving it to Qun Yao would certainly gain her friendship and recognition, but it would also attract competitors for the true teachings.

Moreover, the embryo of a third-level magic weapon...if I refine it again in the future, it can also become a real third-level magic weapon.

Suddenly, Zhang Wei slapped himself hard and said, "When someone entrusts you with something, you must be loyal to them. Since you have made a promise, you must do your best to fulfill it. You actually want to embezzle the treasure. Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei, where have you read all the books? This is not the way to cultivate immortality!"

After saying that, Zhang Wei put away the Tiger Roaring in the Forest Map and planned to give it to Qun Yao, but Zhang Wei immediately turned back.

No, it’s been less than a year, how can the speed of refining equipment be so fast?
Wait another half a year.

In this way, Zhang Wei was forced to stay in the cave for another half a year. Then, when he felt the time was right, he took the magic weapon to Yulong Mountain and found Qun Yao after informing her.

In a villa, in a pavilion next to a lotus pond, Qun Yao met Zhang Wei. The spiritual energy inside was rich, and it was actually a first-level spiritual vein!
The first-level spiritual vein that can serve as the foundation of a family of immortal cultivators can be freely distributed to true disciples in Yulong Mountain to be used as a training ground. All outputs are used by the true disciples, which shows how extraordinary the disciples of the major sect are.

However, when Qun Yao heard that Zhang Wei had successfully refined the magic weapon she wanted, this true disciple of the Jade Dragon could no longer remain calm.

How long has it been, only a year and a half?
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

Zhang Wei smiled and handed the Tiger Roaring Diagram that contained the essence of the Golden Tiger Beast to Qun Yao. When she unfolded it, her surprised expression could be felt even through a layer of black gauze.

"Third-level magic weapon embryo!"

Qun Yao exclaimed, then looked at Zhang Wei in disbelief.

With the cultivation level of only the middle stage of foundation building, he was able to refine the embryo of a third-tier magic weapon. This boy's talent for refining equipment is even stronger than those geniuses in the sect.

I didn't expect that I, Qun Yao, would be so lucky that I could find a master weapon refiner just by trying my luck outside!
After Qun Yao put away the magic weapon, she bowed to Zhang Wei and said, "Qun Yao thanks you, Fellow Daoist Zhang! Your weapon refining skills are indeed extraordinary. Even in my Yulong Sect, no one can match you!"

Zhang Wei waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your praise. I am just doing my duty as a person who has entrusted me with the task. I would like to ask you about my magic pill..."

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and Zhang Wei could clearly feel that Qun Yao's face looked a little embarrassed.

Could she say that she didn't expect Zhang Wei to be able to refine the magic weapon so quickly, so she has been recuperating from her injuries during this period and has not had time to tell Master Zifu in the sect?
Qun Yao coughed twice to show her embarrassment, and said calmly: "It's still a little short. As you know, it's more troublesome to refine a third-level pill."

Zhang Wei: "..."

Why does this set of words sound so familiar?
Qun Yao said sincerely: "But please rest assured, fellow Taoist, when the third-level elixir and the talisman are completed, Qun Yao will definitely come to your door and present the treasures with both hands!"

Zhang Wei sighed, "Is that so? Then please hurry up, Fellow Daoist Qun. I'm about to break through to the late stage, and I urgently need a third-level elixir to assist me."

"sure!"

Just like that, after handing the Tiger Roaring Forest Map to Qun Yao, Zhang Wei returned to the cave. Qun Yao, relying on the Tiger Roaring Forest Map, the Golden Tiger Beast's spirit that was comparable to the peak of foundation building, once again participated in the battle for Daozi.

As for the two second-grade top-quality practice pieces, Zhang Wei collected them on the grounds of normal wear and tear. This is also the unspoken rule among weapon refiners. It is believed that Qun Yao would not cause trouble for Zhang Wei just for the bodies of two tiger monsters in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Moreover, Qun Yao believed that no matter how talented Zhang Wei was, it was impossible for him to complete the refining of the Tiger Roaring in the Forest Map without any failure, so she let Zhang Wei directly obtain these two second-grade top-grade magic weapons.

Just like that, spring went and autumn came, and a year passed quietly. When it was the tenth year since Zhang Wei left home, the third-level elixir and talisman he had ordered finally arrived!
“I will never come out until I break through to the late stage of foundation building!”
