Nine Tribulations True Immortal

Chapter 946 Fundamentals of Artifact Refining
Just when everyone was worried, Qin Yuxuan had already flown into the Qiankun ring, and began to concentrate on researching the refining method of the measuring compass.

At the beginning, he didn't study the compass right away, but found a jade slip from the storage bag, penetrated his consciousness into it, and watched it carefully...

This jade slip was exchanged by him when he was in the Elite Academy. The content was to introduce the introductory knowledge of weapon refining, which was very suitable for beginners.Although Qin Yuxuan was an alchemist and not a weapon refiner at the time, considering that his Qiankun Sword Formation also needed to be refined, he might not be able to always ask others for help.After all, some materials are so rare that no matter how trusted a friend is, it is hard to guarantee that they will not be motivated by money. The light ones swallow up their own materials, and the serious ones may even murder their lives.Therefore, it is best to learn the Artifact Refining Technique yourself, which will be much safer and more secure.

Therefore, he exchanged for a jade slip of "Basic Artifact Refining Technique".Originally, I wanted to study hard, but then I was busy all the time, and I couldn't find the materials for the second set of sword arrays, so I let it go.But now he is trapped in the hands of the Fire Ape King, forcing him to sell it hot.

"Fortunately, I have the Qiankun ring to help me, so I can use a hundred times the time to speed up the practice of refining art, otherwise, how could I have enough time in a month!" Qin Yuxuan said to himself.

Immediately, he penetrated his spiritual consciousness into the jade slip.Thus, a brand new, vast and boundless world of refining equipment appeared in front of him.

Qin Yuxuan also immediately focused on it, constantly absorbing the knowledge of this "Basic Artifact Refining Technique".

"It turns out that refining is like this, and it is similar to alchemy..."

After reading the previous chapters, Qin Yuxuan sighed involuntarily.I thought to myself that this alchemy really depends on talent, which is similar to alchemy.If you don't have talent, even if you waste countless materials, you won't be much better, and you can only wander in the ranks of low-level craftsmen for the rest of your life, and at most you can only refine some junk items.But once you have a certain talent for refining, as long as you practice diligently, you will definitely be able to learn something.

Of course, this success in learning is also based on the accumulation of countless materials. Without a lot of actual refining, the practice of refining art can only be a castle in the air, just talking on paper.

He also realized now how profound the knowledge and skills required for refining weapons were, what he had learned before could only be regarded as superficial knowledge.

No matter how big it is to refine a space-type magic weapon, or as small as to refine a flying needle magic weapon, it will go through three steps.The first step is to cast the embryo, the second step is to quench the cooler, and the third step is to inspire the spirit of the device!
Of course, for some simple instruments that don't require spirits, the third step is omitted.But what Qin Yuxuan is using now, including the measuring compass refined this time to save Mrs. Ape King, are all magic weapons, which need to be enlightened.

Among these three steps, the first step "casting the embryo" is the most difficult one.Because in order to achieve this step, it is necessary to collect enough materials first, and then make adjustments to determine the appropriate ratio.

The utensil embryo is also the basis of the entire refining process. If the utensil embryo is not cast well, no matter how well the quenching and cooling process is done, the process of enlightening the spirit is perfect.That magic weapon can only become a piece of junk.

If the first step of "casting the embryo" is successful.That refiner is equivalent to half the battle.

Therefore, more than [-]% of the content of the jade slip "Introduction to the Basics of Artifact Refining" is for beginners to explain how to refine and cast a qualified or even perfect embryo.

To determine the quality of the device embryo, the first prerequisite is the need for high-quality materials.

If the quality of the material is poor and there are many impurities, no matter how good the skill of the craftsman is, it will be useless.

Therefore, after getting the materials for refining, the first thing for all refining masters is to remove the impurities, remove the rotten, damaged, and moldy parts, and only keep the essence.

And the second prerequisite to determine whether the embryo is good or bad is the flame!
The flame needed for refining is similar to that of alchemy, not only the temperature of the flame is high.Because of some materials, the required melting temperature is not necessarily high.If it is too high, it will easily evaporate the main material, leaving a pile of impurities.

Therefore, this puts high demands on the refining master's ability to control flames.

In the world of cultivating immortals, this work is generally done by immortal cultivators with a single fire root, or immortal cultivators with multiple spiritual roots who major in fire-attributed exercises.This is because their spells are all related to fire, and their ability to control fire is far stronger than other immortal cultivators.

Qin Yuxuan has miscellaneous spiritual roots, that is to say, he has all the spiritual roots, so naturally he also has fire spiritual roots.Moreover, he still has the Jade Illusion Fire in his body, and with his long-term experience in alchemy, controlling the fire is no problem at all.

The third prerequisite to determine the quality of the utensil embryo is the proportion of refining utensil materials.

There are indeed many special materials in the world of cultivating immortals. Only this material can be forged into a magic weapon or magic weapon after being forged in flames.

Of course, such special substances are very rare.Moreover, there are very few magic tools that are refined. According to "Basics of Artifact Refining", among the 99 pieces of magic tools or magic weapons, [-] of them are fused with various materials.

Therefore, these materials are matched in a certain proportion to learn from each other's strengths.Only in this way can the refined instruments and treasures be more perfect and have the functions desired by the refiner.

However, so many different materials have different temperatures when they are refined, and the characteristics of each material are also different.To match them to a near-perfect state according to a certain proportion, the requirements for the refiner are very high.This is also the key to testing the level of a craftsman.

You must know that in the world of cultivating immortals, few materials are completely pure, and there will be some impurities to some extent.It's just that high-grade materials have more impurities, and low-grade materials have fewer impurities.And this will test the level of the craftsman.

The same piece of refining material may be very pure in the eyes of an ordinary immortal cultivator, but in front of a senior refining master, you will find that it contains a lot of impurities.

This is because the eyesight and spiritual consciousness of a craftsman are much higher than that of ordinary immortals.

Similarly, for some refining materials, ordinary refining masters cannot detect the impurities in them, but a senior refining master can discover the hidden impurities in them.

According to "Basics of Artifact Refining", if you want to become a true master of artefact refining, you must never ignore the tiny impurities in the materials.It is very likely that because of that little impurity, the magical artifacts and magic weapons that were finally refined turned from top-quality to defective.

Therefore, refining equipment, like alchemy, is a very rigorous and meticulous work, and there is no room for sloppy work.

This is why in the world of cultivating immortals, there is an endless stream of masters who can refine to the alchemy stage or even the Nascent Soul stage, but there are not many of them with high level of refining weapons.

After all, a person's energy and time are limited, and if he spends too much time on refining tools, he will have no energy to devote himself to cultivation.

Therefore, in the world of cultivating immortals, the status of a craftsman is also very high. Like an alchemist, a talisman maker, and a magician, it is a respected profession.

"I can start practicing!" Qin Yuxuan was already a little eager to try when he saw this.
